Chapter 1103: Gray Mist and Ringtones
After knowing what was happening, Zhao Nan immediately led everyone back to the front of the fence.
"How can we leave here with these 'villagers'?" Although Zhao Nan vowed to say that she could leave with Wang Huanren and them, Zhao Ying actually didn't know anything in her heart.
"Let's go straight out, I've already taken the task anyway, haven't I?" Zhao Nan was still so calm, the first one jumped over the fence, and the result was surprisingly smooth, and the red warning box didn't pop up again.
"Look, it's out. Zhao Nan smiled lightly.
Zhao Ying: "......"
Everyone: "......"
Next, everyone stepped over the fence one by one, and the process went smoothly, and it only took ten minutes for a total of 312 "villagers", including Wang Huanren, to successfully come out of it.
When they were down-to-earth, Wang Huanren and the "villagers" behind him seemed more excited, which showed that they wanted to leave here all the time in the past six months. Some even hugged each other and cried after coming out, looking excited to escape.
Although things went surprisingly well, Zhao Ying felt that it was impossible to relax next, after all, escorting 312 "villagers" from this dungeon was a difficult task. Although Zhao Nan and the others are strong, it is impossible to take care of so many people.
"Zhao Nan, I think if you want to leave with these people, it is necessary to suspend the strategy and go back and forth along the road first. Song Yu reminded at the right time.
"Just do as you say. Zhao Nan thought about it and felt that it made sense, after all, there were too many people, if a monster killed him, in the chaos, Zhao Nan might not be able to protect them thoroughly. If you go back and forth along the road according to Song Yu's intentions, the previous places have been cleaned up. There shouldn't be any monsters, so it's a lot safer.
So, Zhao Nan turned around and walked back with a group of people, but unexpectedly, the group didn't take a few steps before a large red warning box suddenly popped up in front of them.
System: WARNING: You and your party can't leave this side of the road because you and your party have accepted the hidden mission "Save the Villagers".
System: WARNING: You and your party can't leave this side of the road because you and your party have accepted the hidden mission "Save the Villagers".
......
"Well, it looks like we're going to have to move forward now. Brother System won't allow us to back down. Seeing these tips, Zhao Nan also said helplessly.
Seeing this, everyone was speechless, and they could only go forward in the direction of continuing to go deep into Heishui Village. As for whether he could leave Heishuizhai from the road ahead, a staff member of the team who was originally from the Heishuizhai Forest Company explained. Just follow the road built in the waterhole all the way to the west, and you will naturally find the exit to leave.
Trust the staff member's word. Zhao Nan took the lead in the front. Serostia turned into a fairy form and flew in the air on guard, Zhao Ying and Lili were on both sides of the team, and Song Yu walked in the rear, forming a protective circle with everyone to protect these people.
So they walked west along the road that had been built on the edge of the waterhole, and soon traveled a distance of several hundred meters.
The area of the waterhole is large. The blue waves ripple in the sun, plus the breeze blows from time to time, which is a bit of an outing. The "villagers" were probably so excited that there was a lot of talk along the way. It seems that I am really ready to get out of this hellish place.
Zhao Ying, who was following the team, was a little angry, she didn't forget that this was a copy, so she reminded Wang Huanren in the team: "Let's be quiet, if you attract the copy monster, it will be troublesome." ”
"What kind of copy is weird?" Wang Huanren was happily talking to a woman in her thirties, she was Wang Huanren's wife, and the mood of the husband and wife was actually similar to everyone else, so they didn't stop as soon as they spoke, until they heard Zhao Ying's voice, Wang Huanren picked up his slightly excited mood.
"It's the monster in the dungeon, haven't you seen it after living here for half a year?" Zhao Ying rolled her eyes, she couldn't imagine how Wang Huanren and them had spent the past half a year, could that fence really block the monster attacks of the Black Water Village dungeon?
"We really haven't seen this before. Wang Huanren shook his head in confusion, although he had heard about the horror of the monsters in the outside world through the radio, but after all, except for those monsters he had seen in the early days of the cataclysm, now it has been half a year, and now Wang Huanren and the others have no impression of those monsters in their hearts, and the fear in their hearts is also much less.
"I really can't do anything about you, so I'd better be careful. Hearing that Wang Huanren's reaction was not like lying, Zhao Ying was also a little helpless, so she could only tell everyone to pay attention on the road and not make too much noise to attract the attention of the monster.
However, sometimes it is difficult to control the large number of people, although Wang Huanren sent a message halfway to signal everyone to be quiet, but the effect is not too ideal, some people are too excited, from beginning to end they are chattering, the content is nothing more than leaving Heishui Village to go back to find relatives, or go home to see.
These people don't know what to do at all, the world outside is not what they imagined, Zhao Nan watched coldly in front, feeling sad for these people who don't know the truth.
"Everyone be careful, there is a situation ......" At this time, Serostia, who had been on guard on everyone's heads, let out an exclamation and quickly landed on Zhao Nan's shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Nan asked.
"...... over there" Before Cerostia finished speaking, a huge splash suddenly appeared in the originally quiet waterhole, because it was relatively quiet here, so the noise was very loud, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
There was no need to remind, everyone immediately turned their eyes, this was not the sound of something falling into the pool, on the contrary, I saw a thing suddenly jump out of the water and slowly climb to the shore on Zhao Nan's side.
Blackwater Crocodile (Elite), LV105, HP: 800,000/800,000, MP: 30,000/30,000
What appeared in front of Zhao Nan and them was a long predator, covered with a thick layer of black scale armor, and its four claws glittered with cold light under the reflection of the sun, and it climbed up from the pool, with more than just water marks on its body. There were also crusted patches of sludge that looked very disgusting.
"Weird...... Thing, it's really a monster!"
Inside the team, those "villagers" saw the crocodile and immediately exclaimed, where had they ever seen such a huge crocodile, and for a while there was a commotion in the crowd.
"Don't be nervous, and slowly step back out of the pool. Zhao Ying said to the "villagers" as she took out her staff.
As soon as Zhao Ying's voice fell, the sound of "poof" and "poof" continued, and the place where the crocodile crawled out just now. There were a lot of identical crocodiles, the number was very large, and the red light in their eyes was sheng, as if they had discovered Zhao Nan and them.
"Wow......"
The blackwater crocodiles let out a low roar from their mouths, and then climbed up to shore with their paws in their mouths. It's not fast, but the crocodiles with black eyes are scary enough. Those "villagers", including Wang Huanren, were suddenly frightened. Some are even timid and soft straight to the ground.
"Hehe, I said a long time ago that there is no blame here, it turned out to be hiding in a waterhole. Zhao Nan was happy when he saw that something strange came out.
"It's not ...... now" Zhao Ying just spoke, intending to ask Zhao Nan to clean up these crocodiles quickly, but at this time, the "villagers" behind him suddenly burst into a loud shout.
"Run. There are monsters!"
I don't know who said this, people suddenly lost their square inches and began to flee in all directions, ignoring the advice of Lili and Song Yu.
"Don't run, everyone!" Zhao Ying was anxious. But no matter how much she tried to stop them, the panicked villagers still ran around like blind flies.
Finally, a woman in a panic tragedy, she originally ran back, but by mistake jumped into the pool, splashed a splash on the surface of the pool, and attracted the attention of the blackwater crocodiles who were slowly climbing ashore.
Seeing someone fall into the water, these crocodiles, which had been moving very slowly, seemed to have been hit with chicken blood, and with a bow of their bodies, they pounced on the woman like a spring.
"Ahhh......hh
The woman let out a miserable howl, and after struggling in the water for a few seconds, she was silent, and her fragile body was quickly shattered under the division of those crocodiles, and Zhao Nan watched from the shore, and they couldn't catch up with the rescue at all.
System: If a villager dies 1, you and your team will be rewarded with -1%
After the woman died, Zhao Nan immediately refreshed a system information in front of them.
"Dead man, dead man, Ah Hua has been killed. ”
After the death of the same woman, the "villagers" who were fleeing became even more panicked, and even began to push, some old and weak women and children were even pushed to the ground by their own people, and then trampled by countless feet.
The scene was chaotic for a while.
Although Zhao Ying and the others wanted to stop this kind of scene, they had no choice but to be stunned by these frightened people who did not obey the command at all, and their screaming and roaring further stimulated those crocodiles, causing the crocodiles to climb up faster, and these monsters that were stimulated to be fierce pounced on these defenseless "villagers" with their teeth and claws.
In an instant, there were screams on the shore of the waterfront, and a large amount of blood flowed down the road into the pool, staining the nearby green pool water into blood red.
System: 5 villagers die, you and your team will be rewarded with -5%
System: 6 villagers die, you and your team will be rewarded -6% for the mission.
......
One villager after another was killed, but Zhao Nan and they were helpless, this was because these people ran around at the beginning, causing their figures to be mixed with those black water crocodiles, Zhao Nan and they couldn't team up with these people, so if some overpowered group attacks hit out, I am afraid that they will affect them.
For this reason, Zhao Nan and the others could only use single skills, and did not dare to use any group attacks, resulting in the process of killing the black water crocodile.
"Rub, it's all to blame for these people running around, it's too late for my brother to save it. With a sword, he cut off a crocodile that pounced on a middle-aged aunt, Zhao Nan said with a painful face.
During the conversation, the frightened aunt had already gotten up, and completely ignored Zhao Nan's dissuasion and ran away, but this time she ran into a group of crocodiles, surrounded by four or five crocodiles, and after a bite, the aunt was dismembered, and Zhao Nan didn't have time to rush to save her.
"It's your own death, I can't save you. Seeing the tragic death of his aunt, Zhao Nan was also very helpless, so he had to spread his hands to express his silence.
"Don't say so much, it's one that can save one. Zhao Ying glanced at Zhao Nan angrily, although these people are not worth helping to find their own death. But Zhao Ying still couldn't let it go, the staff in his hand waved, and an ice arrow technique shot out, taking a black water crocodile icicle that was originally pounced on a child, and took the opportunity to fly over with a wind flying technique to rescue the stunned child.
"Zhilu said, Zhilu said. Zhao Nan pursed his lips, followed the serious shot, he opened himself a speed, turned into a black shadow and combed through the strange group, and killed some black water crocodiles with his sword in his hand.
Because the scene is so chaotic. As a result, Zhao Nan and the others were unable to release the group attack skill, and as a result, by the time they killed the last blackwater crocodile, fifteen minutes had passed.
In addition to the corpses of blackwater crocodiles on the ground, there are also all kinds of miserable corpses of villagers, and they will be counted in the end. Fifty-eight "villagers" died, and as many as 123 took advantage of the chaos to escape. Only 131 people were rescued by Zhao Nan and stayed in place.
"Okay. The mission is already halfway through. Zhao Nan carried the ominous magic light dripping blood, looked at the task prompt that popped up in front of him, and said a little speechlessly.
"Don't worry about the mission, there are so many people who are almost dead, and we will at least express our condolences. Zhao Ying glared at her brother, and then walked up to Wang Huanren, who was covered in blood. And admonished: "Gather the rest of the people, and don't let them go again." ”
Wang Huanren was actually not injured, and the blood on his body was spurted out by those who were killed by the crocodile, but at this time Wang Huanren had no energy. The eyes seemed to be out of focus, the monster just now was so terrifying, not only did many people die, but even his wife, the woman who fell into the water at the beginning, was brutally killed.
"Woo, it's all ...... It's all my fault...... Be...... I was too careless......" Wang Huanren covered his face, remembering the scene of his wife's tragic death just now, he still can't believe that this kind of tragedy will happen, one second there is obviously a person talking and laughing, but the next second he was dismembered by those terrifying crocodiles, and he couldn't even find the body.
Zhao Ying sighed, it was difficult to continue to comfort Wang Huanren, so she had to come to Zhao Nan and ask, "What do you say, it seems that you can't continue on the road." ”
Zhao Nan followed and took a look, and sure enough, it was not only Wang Huanren, but the "villagers" who were overly frightened just now were all sitting on the ground with their heads hung down at this time, looking depressed.
"I knew that it was not easy to hide the mission, but I didn't expect it to be a lot more troublesome than I imagined, it was because we didn't think about it before, they were always the people who hid in that fence before the cataclysm, they were used to living a comfortable life, they hadn't experienced killing at all, and the blow just now was enough for them to not muster up the courage to continue walking. Song Yu said lightly.
"No, how do you do that task?" Zhao Ying said speechlessly.
"Give it up. Zhao Nan suddenly said expressionlessly.
"What?" Not only Zhao Ying, but even Lili looked at Zhao Nan in surprise.
"Brother Zhao Nan, are you serious, wouldn't letting them stay here let them die?" Lili relented a little: "It's better to rest here, maybe they will cheer up." ”
"It's not that I don't help them, but will they be willing to continue to go?" Zhao Nan pouted.
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, in fact, they didn't need Zhao Nan to remind them, they could all see that these people had been hit very hard, and now they looked like they were not possessed by their souls, and even if they recovered, it was impossible to continue on the road.
"Don't do that, let's find a compromise and let them go back to that fence and hide first. It was Cerostia who commented.
"That's a good idea, let them hide inside, wait for us to clear the monster in front of us, and then let them follow us. Lily's eyes lit up and she said.
"yes, why didn't we think of this before. Zhao Ying patted her forehead and said with a wry smile.
"Zhao Nan, what do you think?" Song Yu had no opinion, just looked at Zhao Nan.
"Well, since you're all thinking so, we'll do them a helping out. Zhao Nan shook his head with a wry smile, and also agreed to Serostia's opinion.
The two daughters, Lili and Zhao Ying, went over to communicate with Wang Huanren and them, and under the comfort of a flip, these people finally cheered up and stood up.
As Zhao Nan expected, after the fight just now, these people no longer had the courage to continue to move forward, until they heard that Zhao Nan and the others were willing to escort them back to the fence, and some anger rose in their eyes, as if the place that had imprisoned them for half a year had now become the only paradise in their eyes.
Everyone didn't go very far, so after ten minutes, everyone finally returned to the front of the fence. I didn't expect to leave here for less than half an hour, and then walk back like this.
"I'm sorry, I ...... We'll just have to send you here, and we'll pick you up after we've cleared the monsters. Zhao Ying walked over and said to Wang Huanren.
"No need. Wang Huanren shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If the world outside is really as terrifying as you say, then we would rather stay here forever." ”
After the round of blows just now, this man who had been shouting to leave Heishui Village actually gave up this opportunity to leave. Not only Wang Huanren, but those who are still alive have also expressed their reluctance to stay here and do not want to leave.
"Since they don't want to go, let's not force it. Zhao Nan patted Zhao Ying's shoulder and said. He knew what his sister was thinking, and he wanted to save the poor people.
Zhao Ying glanced at her brother, sighed halfway, and finally didn't speak.
After leaving Wang Huanren and them, Zhao Nan and the others returned to the waterhole. It's only halfway there, if you want to keep going. You have to walk through a waterhole.
Pass through the place where you just killed. Zhao Ying and Lili couldn't help but sigh again and again, feeling pity and regret for not being able to help Wang Huanren.
Zhao Nan didn't have that many feelings, after all, whether he could survive in this world still had to rely on himself, and there was only a bloody thorny road in front of everyone, and if they chose to escape, they could only shrink into that fence forever. Zhao Nan: As outsiders, they have helped everything they can, and they can only rely on themselves to go on the road in the future.
Walking through the place where the blackwater crocodile haunted just now, Zhao Nan and the others quickly came to a wood. This place is still within the scope of the waterhole, and the distance from the waterhole is not very far, but through the woods, Zhao Nan and they can see a road leading to the outside.
"It's supposed to be an exit over there. Zhao Nan said happily.
"Well, you should be able to leave the Black Water Village through this wood, but the Black Water Knight and the boss Black Water Demon Dragon in the mission don't seem to have appeared yet. "Song Yu here has opened the task bar, but found that some of the monsters mentioned in the quest have not been eliminated, especially the boss, it stands to reason that it is impossible not to appear all the time.
"The rest of the monsters and bosses should be in the woods. Zhao Ying thought.
"If you go in and take a look, you'll find out. Zhao Nan didn't think about it so much, he walked in with two big swords, and without those "villagers" supporting his hind legs, Zhao Nan was a lot more relaxed.
Soon after walking into the woods, Zhao Nan and the others did not find the so-called BOSS, but somehow, a burst of inexplicable gray mist suddenly floated from the woods.
These gray mist seemed to appear out of thin air, and soon surrounded Zhao Nan and them, the originally clear vision became blurred, and the scenery in front of them began to become hazy.
"What's going on?" Lily said nervously.
"Could it be the last two monsters of this copy? Song Yu said.
"Everyone, be careful, I feel an evil aura. "Serostia, who was still an NPC, was the first to sense something running out of the gray mist, so she reminded loudly.
"Jingle bell~!"
As soon as Serostia's words fell, there was a real ringing of a bell in the gray mist, which sounded long and light, but when everyone heard it, they suddenly had a strange feeling, as if it was far away and sometimes near, and it was uncertain to touch.
And Zhao Nan and the others didn't know what to do, at the same time that the gray fog appeared here, inside the only fence, Wang Huanren and the others who had just sat down also heard this kind of bell.
"Brother Wang, are you ...... Look over there...... "A little fat man sat next to Wang Huanren, and he seemed to have noticed something terrible, and pointed to the outside of the fence in horror.
Wang Huanren looked up, and sure enough, he found that something was wrong outside, only to see a gray fog spreading outside at some point, and soon seeped directly through the fence.
"Jingle bell~!"
"Do you hear that?" Wang Huanren heard a strange bell at the same time, although he stood up and commanded: "Quick, I'll hide back." ”
As he spoke, Wang Huanren ran back to the office building of the Heishuizhai Forest Company with the panicked people. It didn't take a few steps, but the gray fog entered the office building faster than them.
For a while, Wang Huanren and the others fell into a hazy patch
"Jingle bell~!"
As the ringing of the bell approached, Wang Huanren was shocked to find that a tall figure suddenly walked out of the depths of the gray mist, and before Wang Huanren could make a sound, a cold light crossed his neck.
Burst!
Wang Huanren's head flew up, and then rolled to the ground, with a look of disbelief still on his face. (To be continued......)
