Liu Liang carefully pushed open the ajar door in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was still pitch black.
Looking down, he didn't know how he climbed so high.
Do you know what I went through!
Oh, you know, after all, as an audience, they watched my defense breaking all the time... and even laughed at me.
"Looks like I can take a breather..."
After two or three hours of repeatedly breaking defenses, Liu Liang roughly figured out some of the tricks of this game.
For example, the platform he was on at this time was a small safety point, or checkpoint.
"Walking with Darkness" does not have a traditional archiving mechanism, but a new archiving mechanism instead.
To put it simply, it is the same as "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats", whichever platform is more prominent is the save point.
It's just that this save does not necessarily work every time. If it stops here when it falls, it means the save is successful. If it happens to fall, it means the save fails.
Therefore, it can be roughly determined from the terrain that those areas that are obviously protruding in the route are small save points where you can generally relax.
If it happens to be dark here, that would be even better, and you don't have to worry about zombies harassing you.
Liu Liang calmed down his nervousness a little and continued upward.
Entering the building again, it was still pitch black.
It's just that this building is different from the previous one.
The overall structure of the previous building was still intact. Although the corridors and various rooms were filled with debris, their original state could still be vaguely distinguished.
However, the damage inside the building was very serious. Huge cracks almost penetrated the entire building from top to bottom. Looking up, you can see a huge bottomless hole.
Climbing in such a place is obviously more dangerous.
By accident, I fell back to where I am now.
Liu Liang took a deep breath and prepared to start climbing.
However, at this moment, there was movement in the darkness above the head, and a small stone fell down, rolling on the ground with a "pat", "pat", and submerged into the darkness.
"Holy shit! Are there zombies?"
Liu Liang was startled. Logically speaking, it should be safe here in the dark, but the designer of this game didn't follow the rules, so he hurriedly activated the night vision function of the camera.
Then, he saw two points of light in the darkness, shining brightly and very eye-catching.
"Is this... a cat?"
Liu Liang was stunned. Through the picture in the night vision device, he could roughly tell that it was a solid-colored cat. As for the specific color, it was hard to say because the image of the night vision device was black and white.
But judging from the size, it is most likely a black cat.
After all, there are only four common solid-color cats, black, white, blue and orange. Among them, white cats are definitely not suitable; blue cats are too fat and their body shapes do not match; orange cats can see subtle pattern changes under night vision devices, which does not match either.
When Liu Liang saw the cat, he instantly became extremely wary.
Even more alert than zombies.
As for why exactly? Apparently this scene triggered some kind of memory.
High places, cats, climbing mountains, falling stones...these factors add up, and it's really easy to think of that cheating game, "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats".
In that game, Maomao Chunchun is a bad guy, making people hate him with all his heart.
So what about in this game?
Liu Liang instinctively stayed away from it.
The black cat was obviously wary of him, and quickly ran up and disappeared.
"Huh... it scared me. I always felt like it was going to throw stones at my head when I was climbing the wall and knock me down to the next floor...
“It seems like this is just a small easter egg, probably not an important game content.
"What kind of game is wrong to link with? It has to be linked with "Overcome Difficulties with Cats".
"Speaking of which, I envy cats so much. It's much easier for me to climb walls..."
The route that cats climbed up is useless no matter how hard humans try.
Liu Liang didn't take this matter too seriously and continued climbing up.
At this stage, the difficulty of parkour and zombie avoidance in the game itself has not been significantly improved, but the puzzle-solving link has been added, so it still becomes more difficult for players.
The game puzzles in "Walking with Darkness" generally range from easy to difficult. The puzzles at this initial stage are basically more conventional puzzle modes.
There is a certain level of challenge, but it is not too difficult for players to get stuck.
For example, the puzzle at this stage is to first find the key to open the control room of the tower crane, then find the fuel, activate the fuel generator to provide power for the tower crane, then go to the cab of the tower crane to move the boom, and finally pass the boom Move to another building.
In fact, the difficulty of each step is not high, but in the darkness of crisis and the interference of zombies and mechanical hunters, players still feel a new challenge.
Liu Liang found the keys and fuel with great difficulty and activated the generator.
As the sound of "rumble" sounded, the generator started running, and the connected lights became brighter.
The sound of zombies starting to move around was immediately heard.
“Fuck, I knew it!
"Fortunately, I roughly memorized the locations of these zombies in advance!"
Liu Liang had guessed that a sound would inevitably attract zombies, so during the process of solving the puzzle, he deliberately recorded the locations of the zombies who had lost their vitality.
In other games, zombies are basically attracted by sound or light. Players actually have no way of determining where they will come from. After all, they are all refreshed by the game mechanism.
But "Walking with Darkness" is different, these zombies are lying in the darkness.
During the process of exploring and solving puzzles, players can turn on the night vision goggles to observe the locations of all zombies in advance, and roughly plan their escape routes.
This provides players with another strategic option.
At this time, Liu Liang was cautious. He had roughly planned his escape route, so even though he was panicked under the siege of a large number of zombies, he was still able to stumble into the cab of the tower crane, move the boom, and Finally came to the jib.
The other end of the boom was his destination, a large hole halfway up another building.
But the problem is that the length of the boom is not particularly sufficient. There is still a distance of more than two meters in the middle, which he needs to jump over.
If he fails due to interference from zombies or nervousness, he will fall from the sky and reach the original garbage dump.
Just four words, exciting!
"Walking with Darkness" allows every player to experience the feeling of "the master is among the people, but the failure is in the underworld".
The tower crane itself is not used for running. There are no guardrails or protection measures on the boom, and it is also quite narrow.
If it's a computer game, you just need to point the mouse forward and keep running. But this is a VR game. Even if Liu Liang runs in the right direction, he may slip and fall.
What's more, there are walking zombies chasing him behind.
"It's so exciting!"
Not only Liu Liang, but also the audience in the live broadcast room had their hearts in their throats. If this fell, it would break the defense!
Although there are a few people who are looking forward to the effect of this kind of program, most viewers still hope that Liu Liang can succeed once and for all.
However, at this moment, a small figure appeared.
That black cat!
I don’t know where it was hiding before, but now it actually appeared on the boom, right on Liu Liang’s only path!
"Damn! A dog's planner is not a human being! Can you learn something good, don't be like a stranger!"
Liu Liang braked suddenly and managed to avoid falling directly.
As soon as he stopped, he heard the roar of the zombie behind him. Although Liu Liang did not look back, he could rely on his rich experience of being bitten to judge that the zombie must be opening its arms and pounced towards him. .
"no solution anymore!"
Liu Liang felt that the cat in front of him would probably trick him, but with the zombies in hot pursuit, he could only run towards the end of the tower crane's boom again.
At this time, the clouds in the sky dispersed slightly, and a few rays of sunlight came in. Liu Liang saw the whole cat, and its fur was indeed completely black.
In this scene, the invisibility effect is almost natural.
The zombies behind him seemed to have strengthened their vitality again under the blessing of the sun, and they chased after him for a few steps.
At this moment, the black cat jumped up!
When a cat jumps, it's like plucking onions on dry land, or it's like taking off from the same spot.
Seeing the black cat flying towards him, Liu Liangliang was chilled and thought to himself, it's over!
According to the nature of urine in "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats", the cat will definitely jump on himself, knock him down, and then use himself as a springboard to jump to a safe position, taunting himself...
However, the scene he imagined did not happen.
The cat jumped over Liu Liang's head, and then kicked the zombie that was about to catch Liu Liang!
