[Warning: The weather unlocking of the Autumn Garden No. 1 courtyard area has begun. The area will be completely closed within ten minutes. The crisis time will be postponed for thirty minutes. All personnel please pay attention to changes in various facilities. 】
The warning was heard in the elevator.
Lewanska had already started to take action, and Lu Ning didn't want to be too slow. Now she suddenly had an extra hour, and she wasn't sure if more people would try to unlock it. She had to check some situations now.
The layout of the outer corridor of Spring Garden is not complicated, with circular rooms lined up in a row. After leaving the elevator, Lu Ning immediately walked out and took a look at the corridor. There was no one-star mission machine that he had received before, and he roughly determined his location. .
She walked towards another corridor, the one with four small rectangular rooms scattered on the left and right, and turned directly into the branching corridor.
"Lu, what is our next goal?"
"Find the weather unlock button in the Spring Garden. Also, I want to see what's in the supply points and weapons arsenal here."
She pushed open the glass door of the courtyard. The courtyard area of the Spring Garden looked much more comfortable than in summer and autumn. The grass was green, the temperature was suitable, and you could occasionally see small insects jumping in the grass. Some fine red and yellow wildflowers dot the lawn, and all the buildings can be seen at a glance.
A standard home-style courtyard, which is found in every garden courtyard. Further inside, there is a rather technological house. The main body is a metal-like rectangular double-story building made of a similar material to the corridor wall. The reason why it is determined to be a double-story building is because its two outer corners extend out. A glass passage is clearly divided into upper and lower halves. The end of the passage is connected to a cylindrical glass room, with a lounge above and a kitchen below - also a supply point.
In front of the house is an irregularly shaped pool, with a one-star mission machine on the edge that is slightly sunken inward.
Lu Ning walked around the courtyard. These were all the buildings here. The rest were all green grass and low shrubs, not even a tree.
"Supply point." She said simply, opened the door of the building and walked in.
The first floor looks like a mix of a bar and a dance hall, and you can even find switches for colored lights. It's a pity that they don't actually serve any drinks here. Cat You found an old-fashioned gramophone and a stack of vinyl records in the corner. He randomly picked out one and placed it on the gramophone, and soon a melodious melody sounded.
"What is this?" Gorius asked.
"Things enjoyed by the upper class can only be seen in pavilions and other places..." Mao You curled his lips, "But this thing is considered an antique. Do you think it would hurt if I smashed the Rolls?" "
"Then he might let you be buried with this thing." Lu Ning had already walked towards the glass passage and turned around and said something.
"Tsk, chicken intestines."
Lu Ning didn't pay attention to the various new things these people were seeing on the first floor, but walked directly into the first floor of the cylindrical room along the glass passage. Just when she was about to use the supply point to receive supplies, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a label on what looked like a refrigerator.
Red, four stars...
The corner of her eye twitched, she turned her head suddenly, stretched out her hand and pulled it, but couldn't pull it away - it was indeed a four-star mission machine.
But that's not right. Although this thing was indeed painted the same color as a refrigerator, how could she not pay too much attention to it? The characteristics of the mission machine are quite obvious...wait a minute!
Lu Ning suddenly heard something, and immediately poked the button of the supply point, and soon a box of spring rolls and a bottle of pure water fell out. She put the two things down casually, then turned and rushed back to the house.
"Maoyou, there is a four-star mission in that room, go and get it."
When running out the door, Lu Ning said something. Mao You immediately became excited when he heard this. He dropped the gramophone and ran into the kitchen. At this time, Lu Ning also came outside.
She doubled over and gasped, but grinned.
"There is such a secret..."
"Lu Ning!! This mission requires me to kill the leader of the first crisis!" Mao You screamed and ran out of the house, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
"Why panic? It doesn't have to be completed."
"Well……"
Lu Ning quickly regained her breath, straightened up and walked back to the house.
This building is also very interesting... it is not a glass corridor, but a black mirror corridor, and the same goes for the columns.
Different from the general black mirror that can only see in one direction, this one has the additional function of simulating imaging on the other side, so it looks like glass, but in fact what you see is just a three-dimensional image... Lu Ningzhi So she ignored the mission machine at first glance because it looked like a refrigerator from the outside, and her memory naturally formed the first impression.
The food and water she took out appeared in the external image as they were after she came out, but the people were not included - from the time Mao You received the mission to when he ran out, Lu Ning did not see anyone moving in the corridor at all. scene.
"Now that we have this special design..."
Lu Ning returned to the first floor and walked into the black mirror corridor on the other side. Sure enough, she could see from the inside that there was a mission machine hidden in the blind spot formed by the corridor and the wall of the main room. She immediately opened the side door and went to check out the machine's condition before accepting the two-star mission.
[Task Level 2: From the beginning to the end of the first crisis, do not leave any area. 】
In this way, Lu Ning has three levels of tasks in her hands, and they are all related to the first crisis. In a sense, at this time, she was looking forward to the crisis coming soon, otherwise it would be difficult to complete the task.
In the house, Mao You and Qiao found the weather unlocking switch of the courtyard in a piano on the second floor.
"Lu! Look at this! Do we want to press it?"
"No, we don't unlock the weather." Lu Ning replied directly, "More and more tasks are now related to the first crisis. It is not a good thing to postpone them indefinitely. That means the speed at which we accumulate stars. Slow down."
"Oh, oh." Maoyou replied vaguely.
"Then what are we going to do now?" Gorius asked.
Lu Ning glanced out the window: "Ambush."
The two people who tiptoed into the courtyard were directly seen by Lu Ning under the influence of the black mirror corridor. However, they cannot see the people in the building - which has to be said to be a huge advantage.
"What?" Everyone quickly ran to Lu Ning and spotted the two people squatting and moving in the grass. But the grass was only knee-deep, and even though both of them were wearing green camouflage uniforms, they looked quite conspicuous.
"Who are they?" Aunt Pingna asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, but there seems to be something wrong with this look."
"There's something wrong in my mind, huh." Mao You sneered, "But Lu, these two people can't be mercenaries. They won't make such stupid mistakes. They are most likely pathfinders sent by mercenaries."
"It doesn't matter..." Lu Ning narrowed his eyes, "Catch him and ask him, and you'll know everything."
What kind of person is a "mercenary"?
Make money by selling your life - whether it's your own or someone else's.
Chuck and Supali were just ordinary thugs from the streets. Even though they knew that "mercenaries" were only the lowest profession among employees, they did not dare to provoke this group of bloodthirsty lunatics.
"Hey, Nimophis said those people were here, right?"
Chuck squatted in the grass and couldn't help talking loudly to his companions to strengthen his courage.
"Nonsense, we're all here, why can't we be here?"
"But, there are five of them, and we, there are only two of us."
"Look at Lengzi and shoot down two of them with a crossbow. They don't have long-range weapons. As long as they are sure to find their whereabouts, someone will come to help! If we do this well, the two of us can also become mercenaries! Then we don't have to worry about going hungry. Got it!"
"Really..." Chuck muttered to himself, not knowing what he meant.
The two slowly approached the main entrance. Supali looked around and saw that there was no one in the glass passage and the glass room was empty. He immediately grinned and said: "They may be on the second floor! Let's keep the noise down."
He opened the door, looked around, raised his legs and walked in. Most of the space on the first floor is empty. Except for some areas such as the bar, which are slightly blocked, no one can be seen anywhere else.
"Very good, they must be upstairs! Chuck, prepare the crossbow!"
The two set up their crossbows and walked upstairs along the stairs.
Of course, there was no one upstairs either.
"Supari! Something's wrong here! It's not in the room, and it's not here! The news from Nimophis is wrong!"
Chuck cried out in horror.
"Shut up! We haven't searched this place yet... Look!" Supari pointed at the piano in desperation, "That thing looks weird, doesn't it? How many people can hide in such a big place!"
"what is that?"
"Check it! Hold your crossbow steady!" Supari shouted as he approached the piano.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a muffled groan coming from behind him. He hurriedly turned his head and found that Chuck had been knocked to the ground, and he didn't have time to retract the crossbow in his hand. Lu Ning happened to step onto the last step and was walking towards him.
"you!"
Supali screamed, raised his crossbow and shot Lu Ning with an arrow!
Almost at the same time as his movement, Lu Ning also raised her arm and placed it across her chest. The crossbow arrow hit her arm and was bounced away with a sound of metal collision.
"How could it be?" Supari was in a hurry, trying to pull out the crossbow and reload it. Halfway through the action, he remembered that this was not the time to do this, and hurriedly tried to pull out the weapon from his waist, but Pinna and Gorius had already rushed up. , it only took the two men five seconds to pin him to the ground.
"Qiao, how are you?" Lu Ning turned her wrist, glanced at the little arrow on her sleeve, and asked.
Joe had already given Chuck a bottle of water and immediately replied: "It's done! I have a star now!"
"Observe if there are any adverse reactions. Maoyou, search yourself."
"okay!"
In the hands of a professional thief, all but the innermost of Chuck's clothes were searched.
"This camouflage is good. It looks like it was made by the same brand as us. Damn it, Lu Ning! This kid has a spider sentry on him!"
"Not his."
Maoyou smashed the little robot to pieces. Seeing that Chuck seemed to be trying to wake up, he immediately knocked him out again with a knife.
"You can't run away! The mercenaries will come to catch you soon!"
"They actually chose someone as stupid as you to investigate, which means they can't tell the difference at the moment. They probably realize that they are not strong enough at the moment, so they prioritize accumulating stars." Lu Ning didn't care about Supari's threat at all. , "If you keep yelling, I'll cut off your hand."
"I'm sorry! I was forced to have no choice! They are so caring and cruel! We dare not disobey..."
"That arrow you shot into my heart wasn't bad either."
"It's my fault! I didn't think much about it at the time, but I know I was wrong! Please don't kill me! Give me another chance... I can show you the way! I know where the mercenaries are hiding!"
Maoyou finished flipping through Chak, walked to Supari who was being held down, knelt down and knocked on his forehead.
"From the street?"
"You...you're from the street too? It's a small offense! Please give me another chance, even if you are a bull or a horse..."
"I don't need the information you provide. And I can't believe a word you say." Lu Ning walked to the piano and glanced at the buttons inside. If this thing hadn't been discovered, she might not have known it. Come out early to deal with these two people.
"Then, then I can..."
"Check his instruments to see if there are any stars left." Lu Ning said.
Hearing these words, Supali struggled violently, but with the combined efforts of Gorius and Pingna, he couldn't break away at all. He kept swearing, obviously knowing that he was about to die, so he No more hiding it. Mao You turned on the instrument on his arm, then nodded to Lu Ning: "There are no stars."
"Golius, kill him and inherit the props."
Gorius carried out Lu Ning's order without any hesitation.
"Where is that person?"
After dealing with Supari, Maoyou pointed at Chuck who was still unconscious.
"Tie it up and throw it here, inside the piano." Lu Ning pointed.
"What? That's not..."
"When he wakes up and finds himself in that situation, there is a button next to his head. No matter what it is, he will try to survive. Unless those mercenaries really come to save people."
"Won't they?" Ping Na asked.
"These two people are here to test our strength level. After all, Maoyou and I were fighting a surprise attack before. So the mercenaries will most likely not come, but will prioritize improving their own strength. I think now There should be some people who have reached the level of redeeming second-level items."
"So fast?"
"After all, if you just take on low-star missions, you can quickly gain points by guarding a few mission machines. The number of mercenaries can do this. Gorius, what did you inherit?"
"spray."
"It seems that the one you redeemed yourself was also a spray?"
"Uh... the mission is not progressing." Gorius scratched his head.
"It's okay, there's still a chance." Lu Ning waited for a few people to tie up Chuck and throw him into the piano. No sound came out. As expected, the piano was just a fake.
"Let's get out of here right now, as far away as possible."
"But what if someone breaks in accidentally?" Maoyou asked.
"Then let's face the difficulty of unlocking the weather head-on. Do I still have to consider every issue for everyone in detail?"
