Lu Ning walked into the narrow passage. This place was not included in the four blocks of each garden, and it was also a place where the weather would not change. According to the matchmaker's investigation, Lewanska and others are here.
She opened the door to the room at the end and saw several people sitting inside. They had all changed their clothes, but their weapons were still the same ones they had seen in the large weapons depot. When several people in the room noticed someone coming in, their first reaction was to grab weapons. They relaxed a little when they saw it was Lu Ning.
"Now you should always hold on to your weapons, instead of grabbing them when you notice something." Lu Ning said.
"All the important weapons are on you. These are just for regular combat." Lewanska explained, "Looking at your equipment, you must have found a large weapons arsenal?"
"Yes, there is a fifth elevator in that space in the middle of the bifurcated corridor. The large weapons depot and escape point are there." Lu Ning nodded, "There is no need to hide this kind of thing, after all, everyone will need it next Provide your own fighting power, not just in terms of props.”
"We'll go."
"But - I want an explanation." Lu Ning looked around at the people around her, "Levanska, you once said that you hope everyone can survive. You will try your best to arrange the progress for everyone's survival. , now, where are they?"
"Lu, are you blaming Laiwan?" Fu Junnian asked, crossing his arms.
"Not really, I'm just curious to what extent his promise has been fulfilled. Lewanska, how many things are still under your control now?"
Lewanska was silent for a moment before speaking: "Not all."
"You..." Lu Ning glanced at his expression and frowned, "I don't care about others. Where are the three Shan Lianmei and the Li Bei brothers and sisters?"
"Leaved." Lewanska said lightly, "Libei Yangmu originally only joined forces with us temporarily, and they left after the danger passed. As for Shan Lianmei, like you, being restrained by my side is not conducive to their performance. .”
"Unrelated?"
"Um."
"Wait a minute, then..." Lu Ning suddenly stopped in the middle of her words and did not continue.
"Lu, I think there is no point in continuing this topic. I am very grateful to you for bringing the news about the large weapons arsenal, so I will also tell you some clues about the traps in the garden... Your teammates should still be there, Yeah?"
"In the Summer Garden."
"Very well, William is on his way there, I hope you remember him."
"The one who gave you important information before? You don't seem to have told me what the specific content was."
"William is a signal soldier from the city wall. He is very good at deciphering and stealing information. There are actually many buildings with various functions in this garden, but we are all focused on the weapons depot and supply point, which are highlighted. , others are ignored.”
"So what did he find?"
"He extracted the crisis number from a log in an archive, which contains trap codes and a list of monsters. I think this is one of the clues that the mastermind intentionally left for us."
Lu Ning was very interested in this.
"Crisis number? Trap code? Then he should have figured out the triggering methods and contents of the sixteen traps?"
"Yes, as we guessed before, crises No. 12 to 15 correspond to Grain Rain, Great Heat, Frost, and Great Cold respectively. And the name of crisis No. 16 is 'thought'." Lewanska said calmly, " Only Crisis No. 16 is rated A-level, including four A-level leaders and ten E-level servants. This is the intelligence reflected by the trap."
"But what you said is that he deciphered the crisis number. In other words, the next crisis..."
"Crisis that will naturally occur according to time are not in the same number. William is continuing to investigate the matter. Judging from the last message he gave me, there are already some clues. The number of natural crisis only goes up to five, which means that naturally There are only five crises, and I hope you can go to the Summer Garden to pick up William and help him complete the decoding work, which will be good for all of us."
"...Lewanska, can I still trust you?" Lu Ning looked into Lewanska's eyes and said.
"Always."
The light is fading.
The blood accumulated in the garden has gradually been unable to be completely erased even by the ventilation system. Due to the "scavenging" crisis that has just passed, the number of corpses has decreased a lot, but large areas of blood clots that have begun to condense into black remain on the walls and floors. With. Lu Ning approached the courtyard. The dense jungle was as usual, but there was a slight restlessness in the forest.
There are vultures circling in the sky, sometimes making unpleasant calls. Lu Ning knew that the leader should have found this place, but she was not worried. Rosa's ability should be enough to deal with a leader without a level mark, not to mention the support from Mao You and others.
Just as Lu Ning pushed aside the bushes and walked inside, a crossbow arrow shot down the vulture in the air, and the unpleasant sound suddenly stopped. The battle is over and the time is right.
"Awaited."
She pushed aside a patch of grass and saw the battered and bloody corpse on the ground. Rosa stepped on the corpse with one foot, the anchor still pressed against the head that had long since turned into a ball, and she was panting. Maoyou, Pingna and Qiao were all there, and their clothes had obviously changed again.
"Lu? That's great, you're here." Mao You couldn't help but look happy when he saw Lu Ning.
"What's wrong? You look quite happy."
"It's better if you lead the team..." Qiao muttered quietly.
Rosa saw the stars growing on the instrument before she let go of her feet, put the anchor on her shoulders, and curled her lips: "It has been proven once again that I am not suitable to lead a team."
"I think you guys seem to be in good condition." Lu Ning took a closer look at a few people. None of them showed any signs of injury, and they seemed to have gained a lot from their free movement during this period, and they were a little more confident.
"The eldest sister is very strong, but her command is so... rough..." Mao You struggled to find an adjective.
"Can anyone explain it more clearly?" Lu Ning glanced at the others. So Qiao stood up, shrugged and said, "Since she led the team, we have only received three orders in total: fight, hide, and withdraw."
"..."
"I'm not denying her judgment. After all, we did win the battles she ordered. The problem is that this is not commanding an army. There are only four people in total. It won't waste any time to explain the instructions in detail, right? "Qiao rubbed her temples, "How to fight? Where to hide? Which direction to retreat? Anyway, we just followed her and ran like headless flies, and finally we came here."
Rosa scratched her head.
"That's why I said before that I'm not suitable to lead a team."
"If something goes wrong with you, it's my responsibility as the person who left the matter in your hands." After Lu Ning finished speaking, she nodded to Mao You and the others, "I'm sorry, because there are some urgent matters to deal with."
"Emergency? Oh! You're wearing this!" Mao You then noticed Lu Ning's unusual-looking equipment, "So you went to get weapons? Hey! Then I forgive you... ow!"
He was hit hard on the back of the head by Rosa.
"Don't be so impatient. How dangerous is it over there? What level of strength do we need?"
"It's not dangerous, it's just hard to find. We need something that can travel through space to a certain extent to get through. My Crescent Moon can do it, but you may need the Void Bite in the Yokai Box."
"That's easy, I have enough stars." Rosa said casually, and before Lu Ning could stop her, there was a small box in her hand.
"We have to collect points." Lu Ning originally wanted to count them all, but since Rosa was so cheerful, she gave up asking, "Rosa, don't spend stars randomly in the future."
"I know, I didn't have anything to spend originally, I can save it back soon, don't worry. But did you find any problem? Suddenly you said you want to save points?"
"You're very perceptive."
She briefly explained what she knew about the current situation.
"...In other words, we should try our best to accumulate thirty stars before the fifth crisis and then leave?" Qiao held his chin and frowned, "I know very well that time is tight, but the fifth crisis ……Why?"
"There is no need for Lewanska to tell me this. The fifth crisis must be a big purge." Lu Ning explained, "Since it is only set to five times, then there is enough confidence that no one can escape from the fifth crisis." Survive the crisis. I don’t know what it’s about, and I don’t really want to know.”
"Okay, the goal is clear." Rosa stretched her muscles and said, "I like this feeling. Are we going to get the equipment next?"
"Yes, get the equipment, then find William Sith, assist him in decrypting the code and accumulate stars at the same time. The number of mission machines we know so far is enough, and there is no competition at all. From now on, everyone will rely on their own abilities. when."
"Sure enough, this kind of command is more comfortable." Qiao whispered in Mao You's ear.
"Who says it's not?" Maoyou glanced at Rosa.
================
As the light dims, the clock is approaching its final seconds. Just like the previous two crises, "White Night" has not lost its power. There are only stars in the sky, and from time to time, light like radio signals skips across the wall, illuminating the countdown numbers.
There was a soft click of a cocking gun.
"Gun oil and gunpowder... I love the smell." Qiao was dressed in black and carried the loaded gun behind his back. Next to him, Mao You was wearing a combination of optical camouflage combat uniform and silenced sniper rifle. In his words, this way he can always be at a safe distance.
Ping Na chose a thick suit of biochemical armor, with two cannons mounted on both arms. She looked like she was undoubtedly the main force in the frontal attack. Rosa didn't change much. She chose the equipment equipped by the Blood of God, the only berserker legion. In order to liberate the combat power, the only armor of this legion is the twelve-sided Archon automatic protection shield. The control center does not need to wear a belt. , the rest are all potions that enhance combat effectiveness, curb pain, enhance bursts, and enhance exoskeletons.
When Lu Ning led them to select the equipment, the surroundings had already fallen into true darkness.
[There are still ten minutes until "White Night". 】
It seemed that even the previous warning was no longer wanted. There was only an increasingly rapid light flashing across the wall, bouncing past like an electrocardiogram signal.
In a corner of the Winter Garden, a person huddled quietly there.
"Sinnis, Dacolon, are all dead."
He hugged his knees, lowered his head, and talked to himself like a madman.
"And I'm afraid my whereabouts cannot be escaped from control... We had no chance of winning from the beginning. We were already at the bottom of the crane, and it won't be much better if we try again."
A line of light passed across his side, slightly illuminating his cheek. His cheeks were sunken, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had no energy at all.
"But... you still don't understand. Bai Ye, hahaha, Bai Ye, disperse. The damn mastermind has already calculated your habits and can even cultivate your habits... Hehe, if you can't live, then you will all die. Come on, they are all dead...too..."
He felt movement around him and raised his head in surprise.
Li Bei Yangmu and Li Bei Fengdai stood not far in front of him with cold expressions.
"What were you talking about just now?"
"Why did you come here? Why didn't I hear your voice? Damn it, which weapon, which equipment -"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Bei Fengdai suddenly turned into an afterimage and rushed over, pressing him hard against the wall.
"What did you mean by spreading out? What's your habit? Speak clearly!"
Another ray of light passed behind Ribei Fengdai and once again reflected in this man's pupils.
He grinned.
"Unlike the previous two crises, the monsters in Baiye... will be concentrated and teleported to one place, and then they will be wiped out like an army."
"What did you say?"
"Do you think there is a regular schedule for releasing monsters? No... That's just the main brain's way of paralyzing your thinking..." He tried his best to open his mouth and breathed in a small amount of air. "You don't have time to inform others. This time there is another How many people will die? Ha..."
Ribei Fengdai threw him out directly. When he hit the ground, the sudden burst of light blinded everyone for an instant.
In this strong light, a line of black fonts that seemed to be burning out slowly turned into dust in front of everyone's eyes.
[The light of the sword fades, the legend ends, and the so-called heroes eventually return to dust. 】
In the "hive" of the Spring Garden, seventeen figures suddenly appeared in it.
[The Third Crisis: White Night (Anti-Psychology)
Boss: Ancient Hero - Osmond (A), Unknown Hero - Blue (D), Mechanical Craftsman - Cupino (D), Immortal Love - Eva (D), Secret Witch - Satina (D) ).
Servant: Trial of Heroes (E) (0/12)
Distance to complete annihilation (95/157)】
"The weather here has been unlocked."
Standing in the center, a man over two meters tall, like a black iron tower, held a broad-edged sword in both hands and made a deep sound.
"At least there are a lot of people who survived this time, right? More than sixty." The man next to him wearing a blue cloak, a fur felt hat, and holding a long bow said calmly, "It's considered the best. once?"
"Do you need us to let go a little? This is allowed. Maybe after these people go out..." The blond man wearing an eyepiece asked a little jumpy.
"Just use whatever strength it should have. This is no longer our era, and the living do not need the mercy of the dead." Osmond glanced behind him, "Let's go, if they still can't defeat The ancients from so many years ago also had no hope in this era."
