But the system also said that in addition to considering your own conditions, you have to choose according to your own preferences.

Soon, Qi Zhen already had a plan in his heart.

"Wait a minute, did you see Miss Rossetti just now?"

"Speaking of which, I haven't been paying attention to Miss since the explosion."

"Me ...... too"

After hearing the prompt of the system, everyone realized that the young lady had been missing for a long time.

"But Miss doesn't see it, what about the NPCs in those factories? Didn't they just now watch our fire cafeteria 'show'? Why is it all gone all of a sudden......"

The night sky is lit up by the glow of a blazing fire, the snow is falling heavier, and the empty factories are as bright as day.

The playground that had been full of NPCs was now empty, as if the workers had suddenly evaporated out of thin air, and only the wind whistling with sparks in it.

The sudden silence amplified the unease.

Ji Xiaoye's expression was solemn: "After the main line is shifted, unpredictable changes will occur in the dungeon, such as ......"

Her voice stopped abruptly, and she suddenly looked around nervously—

The dead silence was broken in an instant, and an eerie "click" sound could be heard faintly from all sides of the playground, sounding like something lurking behind the office building, dragging its slow and heavy steps towards them.

Click, click, click.

The creepy footsteps are getting closer and denser.

Qin Rang took a step back at a loss, looking nervous: "What's going on?" Haven't we burned the petri dish yet? Why are there still these strange sounds......"

"Shh Ji Xiaoye pressed his index finger to his lips.

In the next second, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked at the dense figures emerging behind the building in disbelief.

They were all NPCs in this dungeon, and they were dancing at the ball in the same uniforms just now, but now they each held their weapons in their hands and looked at them with an angry and suppressed look.

And the weapons they hold in their hands are all kitchen knives, chainsaws, iron rods, hammers and axes and other daily tools, and even some people who carry stools and try to use them to smash them.

【Warning! As the core production line of the factory is destroyed and the factory is in danger of closing, the unemployed workers are in a state of anger and will hate and even violently attack the culprit stranger.

Qi Jiu: The unemployment of the "......" workers was a situation that he did not take into account.

"This is the unknowable consequence of the mutation," Ji Xiaoye acted calmly and decisively, and quickly exchanged offensive weapons from the inventory and was ready to fight at any time, "Although the number of unemployed workers is large, fortunately, they are all ordinary people, and it is not too difficult to deal with." ”

[Important: Unemployed workers have not lost their human NPC attributes, and strangers cannot attack them]

Ji Xiaoye, who is ready to be violently crushed: "......"

Qi Ji pondered: "Unemployed workers still belong to the category of NPCs, which means that they have no mutated ......"

The helpless crowd looked at Qi Jiu: "What now?" ”

"Defend well, and then ......" Qi Yan said with a calm face, "Run!" ”

Everyone: "......"

Unemployed workers with weapons poured towards them from all directions, and under the restrictions of the rules, Ji Xiaoye and Gu Zhenzhen could only try their best to exchange for all kinds of defensive props, but the number of unemployed people was too much, and the defensive props would soon be broken by the dense crowd.

【Warning! The prop "Explosion Shield" has been broken by unemployed workers, and it will be completely invalid after 3 seconds, please replace the prop in time]

【Warning! The item "Damage Reduction Sponge" has been damaged by an unemployed worker, and it will completely fail after 3 seconds, so please replace the item in time]

【Warning! The item "Damage Bouncy Ball" has been punctured by an unemployed worker......]

"I've destroyed 3 defense items on my side."

"I've scrapped 5 here!"

"It's only been 3 minutes now, and there are still 37 minutes left before the dungeon is closed, so how many defense items are not enough to consume like this!"

"Help! I've got one last defense item left on my side! ”

More and more unemployed workers arrived at the scene, and the workers came in all directions, and the original plan to run away if they couldn't beat it fell through.

Under the constraints of the rules, the strangers are completely passive and unable to carve a way out of these angry workers.

What to do?

Under the protection of his teammates, Qi Ji was temporarily unscathed, and he also had more time to think calmly.

Since it is an obstacle to the setting of the dungeon, there must be a way to restrain it.

Why are these workers angry? The rationale for the system was that they had lost their jobs because of the closure of the factory.

Losing your job means not having money to feed your family, so the key point is – money!

Qi Ji thought quickly, money was the source of their anger.

So money is also the key to solving the problem.

Although he was distressed, Qi Yan still tried to exchange 10 survival coins in cash from the system, after all, the experiment cost money, he convinced himself.

Holding the golden survival coin in his hand, Qi Zhen suddenly threw the coin towards the nearest side of the crowd, and the workers who kept attacking with weapons were instantly attracted by the coin, they stopped their attacking movements, and reached for the coin that fell from the sky with joy.

After all, the system said that Survival Coin is the only currency used in the "Rules Book".

Everyone was shocked by Qi Jiu's unconventional behavior, and while they desperately defended, they looked incredulously at the unemployed workers who were snatching coins.

"Quick! We will exchange at least 50 survival coins in cash each," Qi Yan quickly explained to everyone, and added, "Save a little when you sprinkle it." ”

Everyone quickly understood, and exchanged their survival coins for cash, and sprinkled them with the rioters in the same way as Qi Jiu.

The golden coins fell along with the snow, and before they could fall into the snow, they were snatched by the crowd that swarmed up.

Not far from the rioters, there was a cafeteria that continued to burst and burn, and the dried corpses of petri dishes were frozen in the fire.

This weird and tragic factory night, in the noisy robbery, has a touch of absurd money.

By throwing coins to divert their attention, the crowd finally took a breath from the attack that was denser than the raindrops, and they managed to open a way out of the black-pressed crowd with money.

"Where are we going to hide next?" Qin Rang asked while scattering coins, the money flowed out from his fingers, even if he had a good family since he was a child, but the money was so sprinkled that he still felt distressed, "It's not a way to go on like this." ”

Even if you have more survival coins, you can't hold up a steady stream of sprinkling for half an hour.

"Of course, it's to go to places where these unemployed workers are not allowed to enter," Qi said quickly, "Article 4 of the entry manual stipulates that 'no one is allowed to go to the nursery and the North District Infirmary without permission.'" ”

It is now known to everyone that NPCs are also restricted by quest rules.

Qi Yan continued: "The nursery room will soon be burned by the fire in the cafeteria, and we can only hide in the North District Infirmary now. ”

Qin Rang flipped through the map to find the North District while spilling money: "Yes, I almost forgot the entry rules." ”

"I've 'visited' the North District Infirmary and know where it is."

Qi Yan fled to the North District Infirmary while counting how many survival coins everyone had consumed just now.

He consumed nearly 150 coins, Gu Zhenzhen and Ji Xiaoye were about the same as him, and Qin Rang was blessed with luck value, and only consumed less than 100 coins.

Qi Ji calculated: "As long as we can go out smoothly, the system will give us the remaining two days of survival reward coins, plus tonight, there will be 300 coins in the account, and in general, there will be no loss." ”

Ji Xiaoye glanced at Qi Yan deeply, Qi Yan noticed her gaze, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ji Xiaoye shook his head and smiled: "I just feel a little curious, how can I be so thoughtful as a newcomer." ”

When a major crisis comes, it is possible to clarify the core needs of unemployed workers in a very short period of time, find corresponding countermeasures and take action immediately, and contact the earliest factory rules to restrain the unexpected situation after the plot shifts with unchanged rules.

With such a clear and smooth way of thinking and calm way of doing things, let alone a newcomer, it is difficult for even a big guy who has gone through the dungeon to do it.

But for the newcomer in front of him, everything seemed effortless.

As if these were all his innate abilities.

"Thanks for the compliment." Qi Yan even pushed his glasses a little embarrassed.

Ji Xiaoye shrugged, and for a while she couldn't tell whether Qi Yan's embarrassment was real, or whether she needed to behave like this.

She's starting to swing again, is this guy really a newcomer? Isn't it a bug boss who entered the second brush of the copy through the shell of a newcomer?

But it didn't seem to matter anymore, and she now inexplicably believed that no matter what seemed unsolvable in the dungeon, this guy could think of the best solution.

Besides, Qi Zhen doesn't look like a bad-hearted guy, which is the most important thing.

[Countdown to Quest Logout: 30 minutes]

At this time, everyone had successfully arrived at the North District Infirmary Building, and fortunately, the isolation area on the first floor of the building was not locked, and Ji Xiaoye opened the door with a light push.

entered too smoothly, which made Ji Xiaoye's heart a little hairy.

But the infirmary was packed with unemployed workers waiting to attack them, and there was no other way to do it than to take refuge in the North District Infirmary.

For the sake of insurance, Qin Rang also locked the iron door to prevent the bustling unemployed workers outside from breaking in.

The power was cut off at night, even on the night of the ball, when the big iron doors were closed, the snow and fire were cut out, the windows around the infirmary were locked, and the hallway was instantly plunged into darkness.

Ji Ono turned on the flashlight, and the faint light illuminated the empty corridor.

"I can finally catch my breath...... Qin Rang breathed a sigh of relief from exhaustion, turned to Qi Yan and asked, "There is still half an hour left, why don't we find a place to rest and wait for the copy to log out automatically?" ”

Qi Jiu's expression did not relax: "I don't feel that simple. ”

Qin Ranggang's relaxed shoulders immediately tensed: "......"

"Qi Zhen, after you pretended to be infected last time, you were sent here, right?" Ji Xiaoye asked.

"Well, the suspicious mucus secreted from the infected patient was also found here." Qi Zhen replied, and the group turned around the corridor and walked towards the infirmary.

Ji Xiaoye nodded: "The rules do not allow anyone to enter the North District Infirmary at will, presumably because this is a transfer station for 'petri dishes' to enter the nursery room." ”

"In addition to being a transit station, I think there is another purpose here," Qi Ji continued after a thoughtful pause, "for example, the first 'petri dish' may have been cultivated here. ”

Ji Xiaoye was stunned: "Do you think the earliest infection was man-made?" ”

Qi Zhen nodded: "According to the records of the Cultural Center, there have been three times in history, but the first two times quickly became extinct, and only the third time can continue to breed and commercialize, so I think... It is likely to be the result of human intervention. ”

"Of course, this is just my speculation, and there is not enough evidence to support it." Qi Zhen added.

Ji Xiaoye: "It's ......"

Behind them, there was a sudden "click", followed by a "creaking" sound like a door swaying.

Ji Xiaoye's words came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked back in unison.

Where the flashlight beam illuminated, there were only elongated shadows and floating dust.
