A team of five people was hiding in the garbage, and the face of the captain Higurashi was soaked with sweat.
He was dressed in black, with two swords on his back in the shape of a cross. A small dagger was inserted into the scabbard at his waist, and he had a cold and fierce swordsman's temperament.
Next to him are his four teammates, who are a team from the Remote Control Legion Guild. They have been scavenging in this "garbage dump" for three days, and their bodies are covered with the pungent smell of gasoline.
They belong to a high-end team. However, the three-sword style of captain Higurashi is completely suppressed in this world.
Fortunately, in this area, there is always a batch of airships dropping some mechanical fragments, or supplies, food, gun parts, etc. every once in a while, so that players who do not go deep into the city can gain something.
"Captain, do we really not want to go deep into the city of measurement?" Team member Ruiying stared at the mechanical checkpoint in the distance and hesitated.
He is a former football star with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is from Argentina. He has white teeth and is easy to impress when he smiles.
Captain Higurashi remained silent, just staring intently at the airship flying slowly above like a jackdaw.
The airship releases resources every three hours. In the past two days, it was robbed by some bastard players with stealth skills. They must seize the opportunity this time.
If Su Ming'an were here, he might be able to recognize Ri Mu Sheng. They had a fighting relationship in Praia, the seventh world. Higurashi once helped the soul hunting troops set up the island barrier. His calm and sharp temperament like an ancient swordsman is unforgettable.
"…wait."
Higurashi only uttered a word and remained as motionless as a sculpture.
Higurashi has noticed that there are at least dozens of player teams ambushing in this garbage area nearby, and the mountains of metal garbage have become their bunkers.
There were more than eighty people around, and it was no different from a chicken pen.
Higurashi already knows the general distribution of players. The city of measurement is divided into four rings, and the edge area of the outermost ring is where they are.
——The people living here are a group of fugitives and gray area people, such as arms resellers, intelligence agents, killer organizations, resistance forces, local snakes, scavengers, poor people, skin traders...
Although the people here were all implanted with Dawn chips, they all escaped in the end, and the Dawn system also let them go. As long as they do not approach the core area of the City of Measurement, the Dawn System acquiesces to their existence.
Otherwise, all ten prisons in the city would not be able to accommodate this large group of people.
The most chaotic places are relatively safe. Due to the complicated identities of the people living here, the robot army will not raze this place on a large scale.
Three-fifths of the players were put here. After the start, most of them did not choose to go deep into the city of measurement. They only wanted to survive the most peripheral plan for twenty days. After all, this kind of "birthplace for newbies" is generally safer.
...Anyway, if there are 10,000 people in the dungeon, there will definitely be a big boss on top. Why do they need little shrimps like them to follow the plot?
But Higurashi and others are different from those "little shrimps". The people in their remote control legion are all high-end players.
They have something they want to fight for.
“The city of measurement is divided into [edge area], [third ring area], [second ring area] and [core area] from outside to inside.
The center of the core area is the [Central City], where the Dawn System and the city lord are. "Teammate Fang Yuan said.
Fang Yuan is a calm hacker. His fingers are dancing on a virtual keyboard - this is his professional core skill [two-dimensional keyboard].
It can connect to regional information within a certain range.
"The selection for Caius Tower will start the night after tomorrow. We still have a little more than two days." Fang Yuan stared at the enlarged map on the virtual screen:
"On the day when Kaiusta's selection begins, the mechanical army will not arrest anyone with inferior personality, and we can enter the city safely then.
"It seems that the first five days of this dungeon should be for us to develop." Qiuqiu next to him said.
She is wearing a purple robe and has slightly curly hair. Her profession is a fortune teller, a very metaphysical profession.
"After grabbing this batch of air investment resources, let's try to get in touch with [the battle group]." Ruiying said.
"The war group? Is it that large resistance organization floating in the edge area?" Qiuqiu said.
"Yes. [Chapter Line] should be a very important plot line. If it can help the leader of the war group, Che Kelstia, break into Central City,
Maybe it will be a perfect pass. " Ruiying analyzed: "I estimate that many players who want to give it a try will be inclined to join the [battle group]. "
"But I heard that there is a big boss in our parallel copy." Qiuqiu said.
"Boss?" Ruiying raised a thick eyebrow: "Are you talking about us?"
"Don't be blindly confident. I have detected a lot of high-energy reactions in the city, and there may be players with more than 2,000 combat power." Hacker Fang Yuan said seriously.
On his screen, several blood-red light spots flashed.
"Two thousand." Ruiying's expression finally changed: "Does that mean the top 100 players? I thought our team was already at the top of this dungeon."
"There is even a man with a fighting strength of about two men, who is nearby." Fang Yuan said.
He saw a pretty and charming "woman" hiding behind the earthen wall, wearing a bright red dress.
Judging from the high-energy reaction, it should be the top player on the list, the 32nd-ranked women's clothing boss Yamada Machichi. The temperament of his women's clothing is very unique and easy to identify.
"It's over." Higurashi murmured to himself: "Yamada Town is here, which means..."
His expression changed drastically.
Yamada Machichi is a member of the Peak Alliance, and he doesn't believe it if the number one player is not on a team with Yamada Machichi.
——They are actually in the same parallel copy as Su Ming'an.
Rimusheng had already begun to think about retreating, but he heard a violent movement.
Squeak—squeak—”
Overhead, the airship carrying resources was gradually approaching, and the black shadow it cast enveloped everyone like a dark cloud.
People with dusty faces raised their heads, like rats about to prey, staring at the spliced door that was about to open at the lower end of the airship's belly.
Living here, resources are always more wolves than meat. If you don't learn to fight and plunder, you will easily starve to death.
After all, this is still within the scope of the City of Measurement and belongs to the [Safe Zone]. They can only live here. If they go out, leave the City of Measurement and enter the [Danger Zone], they may be affected by the space vortex at any time and be involved. He Wei died in turbulence.
People are vigilant and stay away from everyone around them, and the laws of the dark forest are used to their fullest extent.
At this moment, a running little girl suddenly appeared in people's sight.
The appearance of the little girl was particularly sudden. She ran from the other direction of the garbage mountain, which was the direction of the [Third Ring Road Area].
Behind her, there were twenty robot armies chasing her. The robots held photoion ray guns, infrared ray guns, and lightsabers. Their weapons were several levels better than these poor people.
"Huh...huh..."
The little girl was running. She was wearing a well-made cotton velvet shirt and thick-soled cotton shoes. She looked like a child with a privileged life.
On her fair face was a pair of emerald green eyes, like a pair of beautiful emeralds, which were full of confusion and panic.
She seemed to want to ask for help. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
[Save...save...] She couldn't make a sound.
She is mute.
She ran hard, but no one rescued her. People even started to retreat collectively to prevent the robots from noticing them. Most of their criminal records were not clean.
"Are you arresting an escaped prisoner? This girl doesn't look like a prisoner." Ruiying stuck her head out.
"...Don't mind your own business." Higurashi warned.
He knew that this should be a key plot in the copy. Their team is indeed strong, but that doesn't mean they have to go through such a dangerous plot.
Saving this little girl is equivalent to starting a war with the mechanical army. They don't have the ability to take on the entire city of measurement.
The players retreated coldly, seeing the girl as an NPC that would cause danger. Even Yamada Machichi shrank back. He didn't want to cause more trouble, and he hadn't even contacted teammates like Su Ming'an yet.
...But at this moment, Yamada Machichi heard a crisp sound.
“Ding dong!
[It is detected that your teammates are within one thousand meters of you, team chat is open. 】【Current team members (Su Mingan, Noel, Lu, Luna, Yamada Machichi)】【Team members can chat freely in the team channel (limited to daytime and non-combat status)】
"Here we come!" Yamada Machichi suddenly beamed. No matter which teammate he met, he had been an orphan for three days.
He looked around expectantly. Hundreds of people were retreating in a mighty manner, and the sound of metal friction was endless, like underground rats migrating en masse.
…Who are his teammates?
Just as he was about to look for it, he felt a hand suddenly squeeze his wrist firmly.
The little girl who was being chased suddenly ran in front of him without making any sound.
Her lips opened and closed as if to say—
[Please, help me. 】A chill started to rise in Yamada Town, and cold sweat soaked his back.
At this time, the robot army had surrounded him, with dozens of ray guns aimed at his position. Judging from their posture, they wanted to shoot him and the girl into pieces.
"Don't come over here!!" He yelled and backed away.
"Shoot one by one!" the robot captain ordered without hesitation.
Yamada Machi looked pale. He put up a defensive shield and had to bring the girl into the defensive range.
The other players seemed to be looking forward to a good show, and many of them had already recognized the cross-dressing boss Yamada Machichi.
"Do you want to save him? Sell him a favor?" Qiuqiu asked Higurashi. She has random teleportation items that can help Yamada Machichi escape.
Rimusheng shook his head, he didn't want to cause more trouble. Although Yamada Machichi is a player at the top of the list and has a certain weight, it is not worth the risk for him to take the risk for the progress bar of human points.
The gun was pointed at Yamada Machichi, the gun sprayed red light, and the robot army was about to fire.
At this moment, the airship above suddenly made a violent opening and closing sound.
“Rumble—!”
The sliding door on the lower abdomen of the airship opened wide, and giant square black shadows crashed down. They were containers filled with survival resources.
But now, no one dares to step forward to snatch it. People stand back, watching the robot army, waiting for them to execute Yamada Machichi and the little girl.
Higurashi, who had sharp eyes, suddenly saw a black shadow falling from the airship in the sky. The figure was small and unclear.
"...How come there are still people in the airdrop?" Rimusheng murmured.
The black shadow looked particularly abrupt, mixed in between the fallen containers, like a flightless baby bird.
Some people wondered whether the quartermaster responsible for distributing resources on the airship accidentally fell off.
If you really fall from this height, you will definitely die. Not to mention that the person seems to be sitting in a wheelchair, like a disabled person...
"Don't worry about the sky, just attack!" Without any hesitation, the robot commander decided to kill the little girl first.
They did not pay attention to the situation in the sky and raised their muzzles towards the girl. This was a high priority for them.
Between the layers of containers, the falling shadow suddenly froze in the air. The firelight ejected from the wheelchair drew a streamline in the air, stopping the rapid fall halfway.
The man froze in the air and stopped falling.
