The tumultuous rescue operation continued until the first rays of dawn shone down.

The good news is that because Cadman City is shrouded in chaotic astral energy, the sunlight cannot penetrate, so that orthodox vampires like the eldest lady can still move freely, and last night's rescue was very successful!

Three successive searches have allowed them to rescue a staggering 409 people and double the number of survivor camps.

The bad news is that the easy and easy phase is over.

The next areas are all areas that are drastically shrouded in astral shadows, which Murphy's little players call the "monster wild zone", where the concentration of astral shadows can extinguish fires, so it is impossible for ordinary people to enter on a large scale.

The worse news was that, based on the eldest lady's in-depth investigation, she could determine that there were at least 200 life breaths on the periphery of that heavily shadowed area alone.

In other words, there are at least 200 people waiting for rescue from the outside world.

So, a choice was placed in front of Murphy's eyes.

"It's enough to save so many people."

Miriam, who hadn't slept all night, yawned and whispered to Murphy, who was looking at the map:

"I've just spoken to a few of the appointed militia captains, and the survivors are very grateful for your rescue, having seen those dangerous astral beasts and shadow tokens with their own eyes last night.

Further into the city would be dangerous, and there have been reports of seeing many people fleeing into the labyrinth of sewers, which makes it impossible to launch a large-scale rescue at this time.

So, they can understand the choices you will make.

There was even a nun who asked me to tell you that you don't have to be too yourself. ”

"What about morale?"

Murphy asked, and Miriam nodded vigorously and said:

"It's so high that I didn't expect it!

I thought that such an action would make them more frightened, but it turned out that the rescue of more compatriots not only did not make them uneasy, but instilled courage in them and stabilized everyone's mentality.

Some young people have even volunteered to join search and rescue teams, as they are people who still have families in the city and are unwilling to give up. ”

"This proves that we are doing the right thing, Miriam and that the initial collective identity has been forged, and it would be a shame to give up now."

Murphy glanced at the three markers on the map.

It was the location of the three family warehouses he had heard about from Triss earlier, which coincided with the area that had not yet been searched, which gave Murphy an idea.

He said to Miriam:

"You have a few militia captains under your command pick out the people with the strongest will to fight, organize them and hand them over to Maxim, and officially form the 'Cadman Self-Salvation Army'.

Rest assured, I won't let them die.

I'm going to burn down the search and rescue area to remove the remnants of the astral shadows, and I'll need them to build a defensive line outside of these areas to meet my warriors' next assault.

Those who are surrounded by monsters are still alive!

We're going to try to save them one last time.

You have to tell them the purpose and the process of the operation, and make sure they understand their responsibilities.

If my warriors withdraw before they leave, then they will be executed as deserters! There is no room for discussion on this point. ”

He glanced at the scarlet handcuff around Miriam's waist.

It didn't fire last night, but not necessarily then.

"I see."

Miriam let out a sigh of relief, and she said:

"I know time is precious, I'll be ready in two hours, I'll go squint for a while."

"Well, go ahead."

Murphy tapped Miriam on the shoulder in encouragement, and he called Maxim over.

This guy took the lead in last night's operation, his cheeks were covered with the claw marks of the astral beasts, and he had scratches on his neck and cheeks, and he was wearing better armor and weapons despite his force value, so his life was not in danger.

"Mark, I need to command the 'Cadman Self-Salvation Army' organized by Miriam to build a line of defense in front of the explored area."

The vampire drew a line on the map and said to the tired Maxim:

"You will hold on until the end of my warriors' breakthrough into the 'Monster Wild', and place those they rescued near the line until the end of the operation."

"Yes! My lord. ”

Maxim responded with a standard blood vulture salute, but he then frowned and said:

"I have no doubt about the will and courage of your warriors, but their strength is still a little bit different, and there are only so many people, letting them go there is basically the same as sending them to death."

"I'll act with Lady and Adele with them."

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"My warriors are going to have big things to do in the future, they have to adapt to this kind of intense fighting as quickly as possible, and I'm eager to see where their limits are.

Lo and behold, here they are! ”

The vampire pointed to the broken shack, where the meows and the student party had already climbed.

They went online, and it just so happened that the game time of the five of Lumina was almost over, and there was just a wave of shifts.

"Yo, Miss Lumi, what are you doing? Where did these little mud monkeys come from? ”

Brother Meow walked over with a halberd rubbing his eyes and a big grin, just in time to see the embarrassed Lumina playing with a group of children.

She was still holding a dusty little girl in her arms.

The latter seemed frightened and held Lumina tightly.

In the face of Brother Woo Meow's inquiry, Lumi raised her head and showed a very proud expression, stretched out her hand to stroke a few children next to her, and said loudly:

"I rescued them all with my own hands last night, isn't it? There are 13 of them. ”

“666！ Awesome! Heroine bow down to me! ”

The happy bar next to it immediately gave a thumbs up.

They also knew about last night's rescue operation in the group, and Brother Heisi wrote an emotional little essay detailing how the brave Lumina got into the vent to save the two children.

This made these old buddies' impression of this brave and powerful international student girl greatly changed.

"Women don't let you shave your eyebrows, Sister Lumi."

"I'm convinced, Cheche is served, no wonder taking the graduate school exam is the same as playing, Sister Lumi, you will be Cheche's idol in the future!"

"Sister Lumi begging for a hug!"

"Get out of here, dead pervert!"

Pigeon Bo and his dorm mates came over and joked with the scar girl.

We are all students, so it's easy to become friends when we are close in age.

Cooing Chicken and Meow Shark crouched down to say hello to the children, but the latter gathered around Lumina, looking at the "big uncle" in front of them with a curious and fearful gaze.

Modern people are full of nutrition, so that none of the game characters of players are lower than 165, especially Niu Niu's height of 194 is simply the same as a giant in the eyes of these children.

In the Translancian region, where productivity is terrible and vampire oppression is the norm, malnutrition is the norm.

"Ah, I'm up to date, it's time to go offline."

Lumina glanced regretfully at the fact that she only had 2 minutes left for today's game, she yawned, put the little girl in her arms on the ground, patted her on the head, and said:

"Call my sister!"

The latter looked at the impotence with a reluctant face, and whispered in a strange accent:

"Huh... Boom..."

"Ha, good, I'll come back to play with you tomorrow."

Rumie scraped the bridge of the little girl's nose, got up and said to Brother Meow:

"I'll give them to you, although they are NPCs, but this is too smart, don't do bad things, you guys."

"Don't worry."

Although Brother Woo Meow is an older bachelor, he is not a heartless guy, and occasionally he will participate in some public welfare activities when he is interested, which will look at the vivid expressions of these little mud monkey-like NPC children, he patted his chest and said:

"You rest, we'll take care of the rest of the work, our group of big men won't let you look down on a little girl."

Brother Heisi and Jiechong were also tired, and said hello to their boss and said that they would take leave to rest today.

Brother Meow was also happy to be accurate.

It's not that his boss is unqualified, he squeezed it up enough to pick a beautiful street lamp for himself, mainly because of the recent market downturn, their software outsourcing studio has not received orders, and it is also appropriate to take this opportunity to let the brothers relax happily, and for a small boss, let the employees lie at home and play games is always less expensive than going out for team building, right?

"Woo meow, that hidden quest we triggered can't be shared."

Before the mud truck brother went offline, he specially told Woo Meow and others:

"But in our experience, you have to dig into the details of the mission.

The development team of this game is very chicken thieves, and a lot of clues are hidden, and if you can find it, you will naturally get hidden missions. I don't know what the reward will be, but I guess it's definitely a little more powerful than a normal mission. ”

"Thanks for sharing, hurry up and rest, you guys have stayed up half the night."

Woo Meow and the mud truck are friends in reality, and they speak very naturally, while the shovel next to them rubbed his waist and complained:

"Anyway, don't you add people to the test team? That's enough people to do, if we had fifty brothers who weren't afraid of death last night, we would have been able to explore at least two more blocks. ”

"It's better to have fewer people."

Woo Meow squinted her eyes and said:

"Look at how good the atmosphere of the game is now, it would be really disgusting if there were a few fools who did something wrong, not to mention anything else, the bastard who drew a knife and slashed when he saw an NPC is an extreme unstable bomb in this kind of game.

And I guess there must be an official move, so wait patiently. ”

A few minutes later, the 11 new players received three exploration missions from Murphy.

[Test Mission: Exploring Vault 001.]

Mission Description: This mission is part of the playtest and does not count towards the main quest, but you can still earn rewards.

The mysterious Lady Tracy shares the locations of three of the Blood Vulture Clan's secret warehouses in the outer city of Cadman, but they are all located in densely populated areas that have been overrun by astral beasts and dread tokens in the aftermath of the disaster.

Murphy decides to launch a raid to reclaim the vault's resources and search for those still alive, this time led by the last three children of the Vultures, in three locations at the same time.

Objective: Recapture the Crypt [0/3] and rescue the trapped people

Reward: Vulture Clan Recruit Armor [6/6]

Prompt!

This quest needs to be done in groups, so please go to the three NPCs to start the action after the group is assigned. 】

"I'll be in a group with Sanwudou and Lao Qu, and you'll give us Niu Niu over there."

Brother Wu Meow immediately discussed with the boss of the student party, and said:

"Let's follow Master Murphy."

"Why?"

Pigeon Treasure rolled his eyes and said:

"Who doesn't know that you plan to brush up on favorability, and Niu Niu is the strongest combat power at this stage! Don't give it, unless we change it! You follow the eldest lady, we follow Lord Murphy, isn't the powerful and cute three-no rich Lori fragrant? ”

"Fight for a fart!"

Ah Ru next to him couldn't help but complain:

"Except for Lady Adele, who is a new addition, the other two are important NPCs, and this favorability will have to be full in the future, as for grabbing this time and a half?"

The shorter bionic snail next to him pushes his glasses, even though his figure doesn't have them.

He watched Brother Meow and Pigeon Po choking on fire, and couldn't help but suggest:

"Why don't we draw lots? Eleven people are divided into three groups, and there will definitely be a shortage of people in one group. ”

"You three follow me! The rest go to Fimis to report! ”

Just as they were in a noisy group, Murphy directly designated the Woo Meow trio.

This made Brother Meow snickering for a while.

He felt that it was certain that the three of them had a high degree of favorability before Master Murphy took the initiative to choose.

But soon they didn't have time to rejoice, because there were so many Despair tokens near Vault One!

It is almost five times more numerous and dense than the marginal areas, and the rolling black smoke above the terrain of the ruins is like a steady stream of small-scale "monster sieges".

However, these invisible things are not as distracting to young players as they were yesterday.

Their skill proficiency has generally reached proficiency and they have completed their first class change, and with the blessing of professional talent and cooperation, they can often outmaneuver.

As for the dangerous astral beasts, not even one was found from beginning to end.

Murphy speculated that it had something to do with the diurnal variation.

Although there is no sunlight in the city now, those astral creatures are still affected by the solar psionic energy and are unlikely to leave their "lair" during the day.

In this case, the process of entering the vault was not as dangerous as Murphy had imagined.

Of course, this ease is for Murphy, who has already triggered the trial of black iron.

For young players who are currently between level 3 and 4, the despair tokens that pounce on them from all directions put them under great pressure from the start.

Brother Meow roared angrily and commanded his two King Kongs to hold the shield and break through the right defense, and he kept throwing out psionic impacts, seemingly determined to take the caster's route.

They're having a hard time.

It's like a taut spring that risks falling apart, but Murphy will only step forward to help out when they can't hold on, not just to watch the players have an embarrassing fun, but he has to let his little players grow up quickly.

Before leaving, he also made the same explanation to the eldest lady and Lady Adele, asking them to properly fulfill the basic ethics of being an NPC, and not to interfere too much with the actions of the little players.

"We've reached the vault location, I need to cast a spell to break this seal, and this process can't be disturbed!"

Murphy said to the three embarrassed little players with a serious face:

"So you have to withstand the constant onslaught of Despair tokens..."

Dry!

Sure enough, this kind of escort mission is the most annoying category of all online game missions! Luckily, Murphy-sama is steady enough not to scream and run around to attract monsters...

"I can't hold it, my lord."

Brother Meow wiped the sweat from his face.

He realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of the game's beginner dungeon test, and with their current equipment and level, they couldn't handle such a massive token attack.

"Smack"

The three bags were left in front of their eyes by Murphy, and the vampire said to the three young players:

"I've seen what you've just done, you're already qualified to be a Blood Vulture Recruit, and I've brought you better armor that will help you stay out longer in this dangerous place.

Break out when you can't hold on, and Maxim and his 'Cadman Self-Salvation' will pick you up. ”

The three little players who heard the words immediately came to their senses, and when they opened the bag, they were overjoyed to see the complete set of Seiko recruit armor in it.

The leather armor on their bodies had been tattered from the constant battles, and these better equipment with various weak enhancement entries were obviously effective in increasing their combat effectiveness.

"Keep it up! Warriors. ”

As Murphy walked into the vault passage, he said to the three young players behind him:

"The longer you hold out, the more supplies I can get from the vault, and the smoother our business will be."

But what he was thinking in his heart was...

The player's stress test has officially begun!

Haven't you been clamoring to farm copies?

Now, the dungeon is here, this time I'll let you brush it up until you vomit.

Besides, it's the three of you who have been messing around with me and Tracey on the forums and writing nasty stories, right? Although the story is very exciting and well written, it is not the point!

Mistress Murphy is very vindictive!

So learn to enjoy the next battle, little ones.

PS: Thanks to the "Midsummer Presumptuous" brother for the tip! Plus more is counted in the explosion, and the news has been obtained, and it will be on the shelves on September 1.
