For most tourists who are still at the first level, the word "run" has become a subconscious instinct, even newcomers like Lu Ning are no exception.
Everyone present immediately fled in a direction that suited their eyes, regardless of whether the two people in the cave were alive or dead. Within ten seconds, the entrance to the cave was empty.
Lu Ning took this opportunity to get into the jungle, took out her mobile phone and hurriedly edited the message and sent it to Cheng Wuling, and started running down the hillside. Unexpectedly, just after running a few hundred meters, darkness suddenly fell above the head.
A chilling feeling of terror penetrated people's hearts. Lu Ning crouched behind the tree and raised her head. At this moment, there was a stinging pain in her eyes.
She immediately noticed a problem.
The advantage of this identity is that you can see some things that ordinary people cannot see, but it also has a side effect, that is, you can see things you shouldn't see!
Chaotic meteors mixed with countless colors streaked across the sky, tearing the blue sky into countless tiny fragments. Where the meteors passed, black objects of the same unidentifiable composition emerged, intensifying the erosion of the sky.
In just a few seconds, blood flowed from Lu Ning's eyes.
The power of his eyes was exhausted, and the scene just now seemed to be just an illusion. After Lu Ning closed his eyes and opened them again, the sky was still so clear and clear blue, and there were no monsters or anything like that.
However, she still felt cold.
It was some kind of "creature", or a certain ethnic group. Lu Ning didn't know if they were the original bodies of the monsters on the mountain, but that was undoubtedly a goal that he could not currently achieve. If this mission requires confronting such a monster, no one can escape.
After relaxing a bit, Lu Ning felt a cold feeling on his face. She wiped it and found a lot of blood on her hands. Strange to say, with so much blood flowing out of my eyes, not only did I not feel any pain or vision loss, but I could actually see the scene more clearly.
At this moment, a message came from the phone.
Cheng Wuling’s reply was quick:
[Monsters must exist, but there are more weirdness in the entire Danma. Who created the monster? They are certainly not something naturally occurring. You should try your best to move in the city in the next few days and investigate the Danma Central Hospital. You should be able to gain something. 】
Lu Ning was a little surprised, but a strange movement immediately attracted her attention.
Not far from him, a forest under the hillside suddenly parted, and a man emerged.
It was the woman in the trio who appeared before. Since she suddenly dispersed without saying anything, Lu Ning didn't pay much attention to her. However, just the brief contact before gave her a high probability of confirming the identity of the other party. It is a distribution center for tourists.
"Um?"
Just when Lu Ning was about to step forward, the other party raised the camera hanging on his chest and took a picture at the sky.
Immediately, she was also discovered.
"You are... the person who came to the cave just now." Shen Xinyue saw Lu Ning and just smiled slightly, "Are you a tourist from out of town?"
"Distribution center."
Lu Ning said directly.
Shen Xinyue's face condensed slightly, and her professional smile disappeared immediately: "You are also...wait, how did you know..."
"We'll talk about this later. Did you see something? Just now, something flew by in the sky - "
"Can you see it?" Shen Xinyue showed a somewhat shocked expression, "How can I give you such great convenience? What is your identity?"
Not an illusion.
Seeing that Lu Ning's face was slightly unhappy, Shen Xinyue thought for a while, picked up the camera and called up the photos taken before: "I followed the photos all the way, and only through the camera can I record those things. How about it?" Do you want to take a look?"
"Are you a secret explorer?" Lu Ning asked instead of going over.
"It seems that you are no longer a mystery explorer. My name is Shen Xinyue. I am indeed a mystery explorer... with a good defensive mentality." Shen Xinyue put down the camera and resumed her smile: "Let's talk about cooperation. I don't think our tasks are in conflict. You Being able to travel with so many people also proves that your camp has no restrictions on acting alone. How about working together before falling out?"
Shen Xinyue's performance is undoubtedly that of an experienced veteran. It seems as if it is normal for him to directly declare such things as cooperation and betrayal. However, this is probably the person Lu Ning will face in the future, as he rises to a higher class. , no one simply survived, and no one took these seriously.
"Conditions for cooperation."
Lu Ning narrowed her eyes and said.
"I was attacked by unknown humanoid monsters on the way here. Although they should be dead, I suspect there are more... these monsters are probably related to the monsters in the sky. I work in a news agency, so naturally I am More informed and most importantly I’m local.”
"You should have investigated the monster that attacked you."
"But I can keep this part of the information myself to earn points instead of sharing it. You probably don't know what the final scoring standards are, right?"
Shen Xinyue's words really made Lu Ning interested.
"As the basis of cooperation, I might as well tell you that a higher score has nothing to do with camp or survival. Your personal performance is the only thing that determines the score. Completing the task is only the most basic score guarantee. On top of this, explore The number of branches, the number of truths revealed, the degree of personal identity completion, and the actions that directly affect the overall situation will all be calculated into the individual's final overall evaluation, and information is the basis of all this - in any testing field, the person who has the information position There is no doubt that he has a natural advantage!”
Lu Ning believed that what she said was basically true. She could also view this information at the distribution center, but it cost a few points, so she didn't go out of her way to see it. But if these are true, another question arises...
"Information is the biggest advantage?"
"No, it's just to gain an advantage. So I don't mind sharing. If your eyes can see those things, this is the so-called compensation. The average advantage of everyone's initial identity is equal, but this difference will still It leads to different results, and you will understand after you have more experience. Finally, do you want to cooperate?"
Shen Xinyue's strength and confidence made Lu Ning suspect that she still had many things that she had not said, but this was normal, the two did not trust each other. After exchanging terminal numbers far apart, they separated again.
Shortly afterwards, Lu Ning met a rescue team and was taken out of the forest without explanation.
What on earth is she doing?
This is a question that Lu Ning has been thinking about in a series of previous encounters.
How many camps are there in this confrontation? From the current point of view, it has been confirmed that neither the pursuers nor the explorers have particularly aggressive missions. The man in the church who obviously showed a threatening look towards him may be able to judge that in the other camp, he is in The Hidden Man is a camp that naturally fights against each other, so it has been involved in a battle between four camps.
She does not believe that there is no confrontation between all the camps, otherwise it would be meaningless to distinguish them. However, the scope of her access is really limited, and she cannot have an overall understanding of what is happening in the entire city.
This is completely different from the small world in the villa before.
"Thank you for your response."
The reporter who came to interview thanked Lu Ning and immediately rushed to the next person. Of course, Danma Daily is not the only media here. After the rescue team closed the mountain, more media came to get first-hand information. Lu Ning was the first to be sent down the mountain, and then Gao Yunji and Fei Yunwei were also brought down by the search and rescue team, followed by Yuan Xi and Xiao Shifan - this man looked a little more embarrassed, but he didn't have any embarrassing injuries.
Neither Liu Changan nor the three people coming out from behind came out of the mountain.
"Where are you?" Lu Ning couldn't help but send a message to Shen Xinyue, for fear that this person would die somewhere early.
"I'm a reporter. I can just sneak into any interview crowd. If I want to exchange information, just bring something valuable and send it to this email address." The other party responded quickly and sent an address.
"What information do you have?"
"How about twenty years of newspapers and video materials from the month before and after the Frost Day celebrations, as well as a list of one hundred and thirty-six missing persons, including identification information?"
Shen Xinyue casually threw out a substantial price tag.
After returning to the hotel, Lu Ning once again inquired about the information about Danma's previous missing persons. After receiving the information from Shen Xinyue, she started a comparison and quickly identified more than 20 missing persons on past celebration videos.
"The resolution of the video taken too early is insufficient, and I don't have time to conduct such a large number of comparisons. It's better to ask someone for help."
Lu Ning called Yuan Xi. Based on her status, this young lady should have no shortage of technical support.
When it came to the truth behind the scenes, Yuan Xi came downstairs immediately. She does have the qualifications to call for foreign aid - outside this closed world, Yuan Xi can also get help from her "family". The same thing happened to Xiao Shifan. The two made copies of the list and images and then contacted each other here. Lu Ning watched from the side, and probably understood that this was the convenience brought to them by the identity of these pursuers - they were unable to sense extraordinary situations, but they had good behind-the-scenes abilities.
——“Everyone’s initial conditions are different, but they should all be average.”
Shen Xinyue is right. Every tourist in the distribution center must have their own advantages, unless they haven't realized it yet.
"The comparison volume is huge, and it will take about seventeen hours to complete the entire search." Yuan Xi quickly got the results.
"Such a long time?"
"Insufficient clarity requires post-processing, and a large number of hours-long videos may even require repeated comparisons. Before that, let's summarize the current situation."
The feud on the mountain seemed to have never existed at this moment, and Yuan Xi quickly told Lu Ning about the situation on her side.
