What came next was the real second test. Xiao Yihan was taken to the VR equipment hall. All the people in front were already on a treadmill-like position.
Players entered the game in two batches, with a total time limit of five days.
When Xiao Yihan put on a full set of VR equipment and special clothing with conductive tentacles, a sweet system voice sounded in his ears: "Hello, welcome to the Sky City. According to the requirements, your ID needs to use your real name, and the system is set to look like. Change. Next you will be teleported to the wild plunder land, 3, 2, 1, teleport."
A scene that seemed like traveling through time and space, Xiao Yihan came to the land of plunder. As far as the eye can see, there are endless wilderness, scattered hills, short green grass on the ground, plain land, scattered with a few residential houses, smoke curling from the kitchen, which should be the residence of the system NPC.
There are some strange places in the wilderness. The ground has sunk into a line, like a trace of a huge mechanical track. It is two to three meters deep, like a river without water.
You can see the players who were teleported earlier scattered not far away. It's just that given the damn undercover setup, everyone keeps a certain distance, and trust hasn't been established yet, let alone forming a team to find the scroll to return to the city.
The set time for the test is five days, so Xiao Yihan is not in a hurry. After waiting for a while, Li Xunzui didn't teleport over. It should be that everyone teleported to a different location.
At this time, there was a strange noise in the distance. There was a vague sound like the sound of a car crossing the plank bridge passing by on the ground, and the roar of machines came from far and near. Then, accompanied by a huge roar of motors, a giant city-like mechanical monster almost two hundred meters high came into the players' sight.
Under the front of the mechanical monster, there is a huge gap, which is filled with densely packed huge sickles that can harvest everything in front. The constantly swinging sickles are like the forearms of a mantis, eating up all the hills and trees bulging in front. Inside the belly of the mechanical monster. This mechanical monster is like a hungry and greedy beast, plundering all visible and available resources.
This is Prey City!
"My darn thing!"
"Isn't this the hunting machine that the beautiful lady was talking about?" the contestants were thinking in their hearts.
"Miss, let's hide first! We can't deal with this monster." The loyal Deng Liu quickly found his eldest daughter Chen Beini.
"Yeah!" This seems to be Chen Beini's mantra.
The delicate Chen Beini is afraid of that giant creature, so she'd better hide away to avoid the limelight! She followed Xiao Liu to find a slightly raised mound and hid there.
The mechanical monster came to the NPC's houses like a plow. They originally thought that those houses would be chopped into pieces and eaten by the mechanical monster, but the result made the players stunned.
When the NPCs saw the city machine from a distance, they immediately threw away everything in their hands and ran back to their rooms in a hurry. After a few operations, their houses quickly changed combinations like building blocks and turned into a The small town machine started up quickly after completing its transformation, and quickly ran away into the distance as if it had grown legs.
The urban machine that is tens of meters high is like a pet in front of the mechanical monster, but it is more flexible than the mechanical monster and can only move forward quickly.
At this moment, the top of the city machine, the lighthouse-like shape, lit up with the light of lightning, and the circular lightning with the sound of thunder got louder and louder. Finally, the spherical thunder and lightning seemed to have gathered enough power, making a roar like landslides and earth cracking, and a huge beam of light instantly shot towards the escaping town machine.
Just when it was about to hit, several strong NPC men on the town machine pulled the chain forcefully together. The town machine braked and moved sideways, barely avoiding the giant lightning ray with a diameter of nearly one meter. Sand, gravel and mud were flying all over the sky, and a lot of town machinery was damaged.
However, the second lightning shot was quickly fired again, accurately hitting the town machine, causing a violent explosion and scattering house fragments and mechanical parts all over the place.
The NPCs seemed to be very experienced. They got on a small land aircraft like a quad bike and dispersed in advance. They flew in front of each player and shouted: "Get in the car quickly, they are going to catch us." .”
Player No. 7, who was almost two meters tall, might have a bigger target. The city machine slowed down and shot a chain-linked animal trap, like a wild horse. If the tall man and the NPC hadn't escaped in time, they would have been caught in the trap.
When they saw the terrifying steel bear trap, all the contestants couldn't wait to jump on the land aircraft.
Just kidding, that animal trap is so fast, who can run with both legs? With such sharp claws, if caught in a pinch, half of his life would probably be lost.
The four-seater land aircraft was extremely fast and extremely agile. The mechanical monster could not catch up with it. However, above the city machine, at the airport that was as big as the deck of an aircraft carrier, many aircraft like fighter jets rose up. They were also very fast and could catch up. Land craft fled in all directions.
The fighter jets were also very fast, and their firepower was fierce. Bullets were fired continuously from under the wings like machine guns. The land aircraft that fell behind suffered disaster. The hit land aircraft immediately triggered a violent explosion, leaving no bones on the people on it. live.
"Notice: Zhao Yu was shot and killed by looters on the 14th, and his online time was frozen for five hours!"
"Notice: No. 73 Ma Jingyan was shot and killed by predators, and her online time was frozen for five hours!"
The sound of the system kept ringing in the ears of the escaping players, as if they would be next. Fortunately, land aircraft are flexible and agile, and after being dispersed, they are all looking for the best hiding places.
Whenever a player is hit and dies, the system will send out a notification on everyone's devices, and players who are killed in the system will be forced offline and will not be resurrected until five hours later.
"Oh my god, run away! Drive faster, drive faster."
Fleeing all the way, dodging left and right, the time soon came to night. Maybe the fighter jets did not dare to fight at night, so they retreated one after another.
After it was safe, the NPC dropped all the players in a riverbed-like location, warned them not to go to places with light, and then flew away in a land aircraft.
Maybe this is the setting of the NPC. There is no other way, the players can only rely on themselves.
By the moonlight, Xiao Yihan saw that about fifty players were dumped in this place. Everyone felt that the incident happened suddenly. This was too exaggerated. The hunting machine was so huge that crushing them was like crushing a mosquito. .
"Drunk brother."
Xiao Yihan accidentally saw Li Xunzui in the crowd. He thought he was teleported to another place before, but it turned out that he was just scattered far away.
Li Xunzui was pleasantly surprised when he saw Xiao Yihan. After all, the people he faced before were ordinary people. There was no pressure to dominate in front of those people. But in front of so many masters, he felt very insignificant. There was an acquaintance. With experts around you, you will feel much safer.
"Boss, you are here too, haha!"
The same goes for other players, everyone who knows each other comes together, like forming many small circles.
Xiao Yihan was thinking that it would not work if they dispersed like this. Let alone finding the scroll to return to the city, they might not even be able to form a team.
So, Xiao Yihan pulled Li Xunzui in front of him and whispered instructions in his ear. Li Xunzui looked suspicious: "Is this really okay? I'm a little timid, boss."
Xiao Yihan comforted: "It's okay, I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you. Don't worry!"
Under Xiao Yihan's affirmative look, Li Xunzui cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen to me, there is no way for us to continue like this. Everyone has seen today that that mechanical monster is definitely not something that one or two people can deal with. Yes, I think we should unite."
Everyone fell silent, and when Li Xunzui finished speaking, someone asked, "Didn't you say there was an undercover agent?"
Li Xunzui seemed to have found his state, and he said loudly: "In this situation, being an undercover agent is no longer important. Our first priority is to escape the capture of the hunting machine and survive first, and then we will consider undercover matters. Besides, Well, undercover agents are not as dangerous as hunting machines. In the end, the scroll of return to the city will be ineffective at most. But by that time, we all know who is the undercover, and the beautiful lady did not say that the number of the return to the city scroll is limited. "
Everyone agreed and felt that the first thing to do was to unite. However, some people felt that the team of more than fifty people was too big. After discussing for a long time, they finally decided to split into two teams and each selected a team leader, but for the time being they still acted together.
Li Xunzui thought this was a good idea, so he asked everyone to take sides.
"In this way, we will first select a few experts as representatives to decide our next actions and routes. What do you think?" After the team separated, nearly thirty people expressed their willingness to join a team with Li Xunzui, and then Li Xunzui followed They discuss selecting team decision-makers.
Finally, based on everyone's recommendations and confirmation of the breath released on site, five people, No. 7 Gao Zhao, No. 130 Xiao Yihan, No. 134 Li Xunzui, No. 88 Ardak, and No. 45 Wu Suqing, were selected as everyone's action commanders.
Li Xunzui originally said that he was not strong enough and asked someone else to do it, but everyone agreed that it would be more appropriate for him to coordinate everyone. When Gao Zhao introduced himself, he made a joke. Everyone didn’t understand what the character Zhao was, so some people started booing, saying that he was so tall and his number was No. 7, so they might as well call him Gao Zhao. So Gao Zhao Hence the nickname "Tall Seven".
Gao Zhao himself was a naive guy, so he didn't think it was okay to give him a nickname, so he just let them call him that. However, no one expected that the name Gaojiaoqiu would become famous all over the world in the future, and he would be so powerful that when enemies heard his name, they would have to retreat a hundred miles to feel safe!
After discussion between the leaders of the two teams, they agreed that first a defense line needed to be established, secondly a clear investigation of the enemy and friendly environment was needed, and finally a team was formed to search for the scroll to return to the city.
"If there is a situation, everyone should take cover!" The ones in charge of the alert were a few contestants with strong perceptive abilities. They immediately spotted a large truck driving towards them in the distance.
It was a Scania truck known as the "King of the Road", equipped with a truck-mounted crane. It drove slowly over and stopped in front of them.
"Hey, hello! We are scavengers in the land of plunder. From the looks of you, you must be being hunted by plunderers, right?" The driver jumped out of the car. He was a middle-aged uncle NPC, in the style of a Western cowboy. clothing.
The others had already hid in the cliff, leaving the decision-makers of the two teams to test whether the truck was safe.
Li Xunzui, who was in charge of communication and coordination, stepped forward and said: "Hi, yes, I was chased by them all day today. Have you scavengers been wandering here? Is there any place nearby where you can stay, such as a town? "
"Being chased by looters is a very bad thing. Haha, just ask me about this. We scavengers are the most familiar with the looted land. There is a red town nearby. As long as you have gold coins, you can Everything is available.”
"Oh, that's great. Can you tell us how to get to that place?" Li Xunzui said calmly.
The uncle said boldly: "Just follow this tracked river and you'll be there five kilometers ahead."
"Well, you guys get in my car. It's a way along anyway. I'll take you there!" The uncle extended the invitation very enthusiastically.
Li Xunzui turned around and asked the others with his eyes. Only Gao Jiaoqi nodded, while Xiao Yihan and the others shook their heads.
When faced with plundering the city during the day, they had no other choice but to trust those NPCs flying land aircraft. Now they have a choice, so Xiao Yihan and the others want to take another look. After waiting for a while, the system NPCs may also have undercover-like settings. Certainly.
But Liang Perming, the leader of the other group, felt that if the uncle was a bad guy, he would have controlled the machine to kill them like a predator, so why bother pretending to lie to them. So, he sent a safety signal to his team at the rear, and the group got into the scavenger's truck. The trunk, which was used to place the collected groceries, had a lot of space and could accommodate dozens of people.
Li Xunzui and the others stood still and watched them leave.
