As a breeze blew in the early morning, the white fog that filled the bridge across the river was finally dispersed.
Modern high-rise buildings reflect the dazzling morning light, while in the quiet streets below, weird zombies roar one after another.
At this time, the activity centers of major security cities were crowded with people, and almost everyone crowded in front of the screen to look greedily at this brand new city.
Even the screen in the bounty mission hall was used for the competition. Almost all people who couldn't get a ticket in the safe city went to the black market to watch the competition.
Everyone is very excited about the opening of the new Safe City map. Now this is not just a turf war between trade unions, it will also bring about earth-shaking changes in everyone's future lives.
After all, it was [Future New City], a modern city with the same technological level as real society.
As long as the [Future New City] is open, all items that can be accessed in modern society will be included in the ranks of commodity transactions, and advanced electronic weapons and electric vehicles will also be updated accordingly.
With the expectant gaze of everyone, six split scenes appeared on all the electronic screens in the security city at the same time.
And the system sound that had not been heard for a long time also echoed in every corner of the six safe cities.
"Welcome to the [Future New City] competition site! This competition is distributed with six sets of overhead shots. The system will take you to appreciate the whole picture of this new safe city for the first time! Currently, the viewing platform has been equipped in all major safety cities Displayed in front of an electronic screen, players can freely choose where to watch the game!”
"This competition lasts for two days. There are 6 registered unions. The following is the list of battles -"
"The first group, [Doomsday Mutual Aid Camp] versus [Tu Ling Mansion]."
"The second group, [Sunset Town] versus [Bloodthirsty Carnival]."
"The third group, [Tianfengyuan] versus [Eleventh Street]."
"This competition will divide the [Future New City] map into three areas. The competition will start at the same time. An air wall has been set up between the divided maps that cannot be crossed. Please be informed."
"The death ban on the Safe City map has been lifted. Contestants, please come back alive! I wish you good luck."
As a burst of cheers echoed through the safety city, the game kicked off.
[Future New City] has a unique geographical location, surrounded by rivers. All routes into the city must pass through viaducts, and there are eight viaducts surrounding [Future New City] alone.
At this time, the contestants from the major trade unions had been teleported to eight viaducts.
A countdown is displayed in mid-air on the viaduct. Before the countdown ends, everyone can only stay on the bridge and cannot enter in advance, nor can they see the positions of other players.
Bian Ran put up an awning with his hands and looked beyond the countdown into the distance.
"Holy crap, how long has it been since I saw an office building?"
Zhou Xiang grabbed his neck and said, "Every time you open a city, you can get additional economic rewards. For such a big city, the power system must be very powerful. If we take this place down, you won't have to make delayed gunpowder anymore." From now on, they will all be time bombs. They will explode in just a few seconds. If you say explode, they will explode!"
Bian Ran's eyes lit up, "That's okay, it's exciting just thinking about it!"
While he was excited, Bian Ran suddenly remembered something and looked around.
Just look at Yun Xiao sitting on the railing of the viaduct, swinging back and eating a burger, Lu Beixi doing a final check on his backpack, and Yu Fei squatting on the ground sharpening a knife.
"Hey, didn't you say yesterday that the list of contestants would be announced before today's competition starts? Why are there still just a few of us?"
Qi Yunzhou's laughter came from the voice, "I was afraid that someone would be a big talker, so I deliberately said that yesterday. In fact, the personnel have not changed."
Bian Ran staggered when he heard this, and he grabbed Zhou Xiang, "Did you already know this?"
Zhou Xiang whistled and smiled.
"What do you think? It's your big mouth that I'm guarding against."
Bian Ran's face suddenly fell when he heard this, "Why are you like this!"
"Do you have to bully him?" Lu Beixi glanced at Zhou Xiang, then packed up his backpack and walked towards Yu Fei, who was sharpening his knife.
"Zhu Yingying, who is watching?"
Yu Fei carefully observed the reflective knife he had sharpened, and seemed to feel unsatisfied so he put it down and continued to sharpen it.
"Aji, Sister Xiaomo and Xiaohai are watching together."
Lu Beixi patted Yufei on the shoulder.
"It's very safe with them. Aji's skill is [Block]. Even if there is a war outside, he can protect me. Zhu Yingying Zhouquan, don't worry."
When Yu Fei heard this, he pursed his lips and nodded, but said nothing.
Yun Xiao gnawed on the food and shook his head back, looking at Yu Fei and he couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, Yu Fei was quite lively, but unlike now, he is like an eggplant beaten by frost.
It seemed that if Zhu Yingying didn't wake up for one day, he would be languid for one more day.
At this time, Qi Yunzhou's excited voice sounded again.
"Everyone, the system has just released another notification. The number of unions in this competition is less than 10, and the map is automatically divided into three areas. Six unions compete at the same time, and the union that wins first can directly enter the final channel."
Yun Xiao paused while chewing on his burger, "Does this mean one less fight?"
"That's right."
Yun Xiao's eyes lit up, she finished the last two bites, clapped her hands and jumped off the railing nimbly. She looked at the [Future New City] at the end of the bridge that had been covered in dust for a long time, and began to stretch her limbs on the bridge.
"If we want to end it quickly, it seems we have to speed up this first game."
Zhou Xiang turned his head to look at Yun Xiao when he heard this, with a smile on his lips, "Is Mr. Yun Xiao going to show off his power?"
"Yeah, I haven't been this excited for a long time!"
Yun Xiao put her hands on her hips, her face full of excitement.
This competition is a treasure hunt for her.
As long as they can kill the boss quickly, their game will end quickly. Although the skills of those people are a bit tricky, after all, Zhou Xiang is also clearing the boss at the same time, so no matter who makes a mistake, the mission of clearing the boss will not stop.
Qi Yunzhou paused after hearing this, and his voice deepened, "Well... there's one more thing. The system... has lifted the death ban."
The five people were stunned when they heard this, and a strange color flashed in Zhou Xiang's eyes.
"What does it mean?"
"That is to say, the current competition map has the same attributes as the [Firefight Area], where people will die, and the killing will not be red."
Bian Ran looked surprised, "What?! The same as the firefight zone?! Then, then this..."
He looked again at the brand new safe city that he had looked forward to just now, and suddenly felt a little scary.
"Will someone die in this competition?!"
Yun Xiao put away his excited expression and moved his wrists.
"Killing does not count as a red name, so it won't be counted in the bounty mission hall, right?"
"It will still be counted, but it won't be a red name."
Lu Beixi frowned, "Does it count as a bounty mission? In this way, this competition becomes a legitimate killing game."
Qi Yunzhou said seriously, "Yes, so you should be more careful."
Qi Yunzhou had just hung up the voice call when the system prompt box in front of the five people popped up at the same time.
[Players please prepare, there are still 30 seconds before the game starts. 】
【29】
【28】
【……】
Seeing that there were still 30 seconds left in the countdown, Lu Beixi walked towards the center of the bridge with a howitzer in one hand. Upon seeing this, Yu Fei stood up and stuffed the five sharpened daggers into his waist pocket, while Zhou Xiang followed with a swagger carrying his collection of snipers. Bian Ran tremblingly approached Yun Xiao.
"Really...will people die?"
The silver hook lock on Yun Xiao's wrist glowed coldly. She looked towards the tall buildings in the distance.
"In this kind of situation, the more you fear death, the faster you will die."
Bian Ran trembled, "So..."
"So you have to act quickly and don't give the other party a chance."
After Yun Xiao finished speaking, the countdown returned to zero.
The moment the transparent barrier in front of the five people disappeared, Yun Xiao was like a gust of wind, picking up Bian Ran and Zhou Xiang and rushing towards the safe city.
Bian Ran was stunned for a moment and screamed in fright.
"Why are you dragging me with you?! I didn't hear about it before the war!"
Zhou Xiang, on the other hand, enjoyed the feeling of the surrounding scenery regressing very quickly, "Do you need to ask, you who are playing with gunpowder are not allowed to enter the scene in advance to lay out the layout?"
"What about you?! Why were you picked up by the big guy too?"
"Me? Of course I'm going in the opposite direction with Yun Xiao to seize the position in advance to grab the boss."
Yun Xiao quickly arrived at the city gate with two people in his arms, turned to one side and threw them away like sandbags.
"The right side of Zhou Xiang is handed over to you!"
"Copy that!" Zhou Xiang turned around in the air, grabbed him over the eaves, and ran out.
"Bian Ran, go to Zhengbei Square to lay out gunpowder in advance."
Bian Ran screamed and was thrown out, screaming in the air with his teeth and claws.
"How come I haven't heard of this kind of plan?"
With a loud landing sound, Bian Ran stood up and looked at Yun Xiao again. He had disappeared from where he was.
Bian Ran looked around at the empty streets in horror.
"Am I alone? Just me??? No one is protecting me?!"
