boom!
This gunshot was much louder than Gu Chi's.
River birds flew in response.
But he wasn't shot away, he was shot away by the recoil.
Flying several meters away, the white bear jumped into the air, hit the ground with a "dong", twitched twice and stopped moving.
The bright red blood spread to all directions, quickly dyeing the snow red.
Mustard Soup, who was also holding a gun, was stunned. He didn't expect the battle to end so quickly. His physical strength had recovered a little by now, and he was ready to fight just now, but it wasn't his turn. His gun and Jiang Niao's gun were of the same type, both given by Gu Chi, but when Gu Chi gave them to them, he didn't say it was so powerful?
The wail of the river bird came from behind. Mustard Tang came back to his senses, quickly put down his gun and went to help the river bird to prevent it from being blown away by the snowstorm.
Lingmao opened his mouth, still a little unresponsive: "This gun is so powerful..."
"The elephant hunting gun is of course powerful," Gu Chi said.
The muzzle kinetic energy of the king of rifles, the AK-47, is only 1800-2000 joules, but the elephant hunting rifle can reach 17,000 joules.
A warhead with a caliber of 33.7mm and a weight of half a kilogram cannot be called a gun or cannon in modern times.
He doesn't use it himself because he doesn't need it.
Jiang Niao came back with the help of mustard soup. He felt that his shoulder was about to be dislocated and he was grinning in pain. But when he saw the white bear's body, he became excited again: "Did I kill this?"
Gu Chi nodded.
Jiang Niao couldn't help but re-examine the gun in his hand, and suddenly he felt less afraid.
Perhaps this is the sense of security that firepower brings.
The attack by the white bear was just a small episode. Gu Chi filled his water bag with mustard soup, rested for a while, and then led a few more people on their way.
The blizzard showed no intention of stopping. Instead, it felt like it was intensifying. During this period, several white bears rushed up to deliver them. They were either killed by the guns of Gu Chi and Jiang Niao, or were blown up by Suzuki and Wasabi Soup using self-destructing robots. Into mud.
When an unarmed person fights against a white bear, he basically has no choice but to run for his life, but when fighting someone with a heavy weapon, the white bear is a bit unworthy.
This is what makes Gu Chi feel strange.
Normally, even polar bears should not choose to come out to look for food during such a heavy snowstorm.
Common sense doesn't make sense, so it's probably the dungeon mechanism - the game is preventing them from approaching the bell tower.
But the question is, if this is really the blocking mechanism of the copy, will it be too simple?
Even if you rely on your brain, it shouldn't be so easy, right?
In Gu Chi's view, the threat these bears posed to them was not even as big as the zombies that would surely die if bitten.
Night gradually fell.
The increasingly severe blizzard bent everyone's backs, and their increasingly poor physical strength forced them to stop frequently to rest. As a result, their traveling speed was greatly reduced. It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that they finally completed the winding mountain road. The rugged snowy road led to a vast and flat snowfield.
"Look, is that the bell tower?"
Jiangniao pointed forward and shouted excitedly.
"Yes, it's the bell tower!" Lingmao also saw the outline of the bell tower and almost cried with joy.
After thirty-five years of wind and frost, most of the bell tower was buried in ice and snow, but it still stands taller than other buildings.
The heavy snow blurred everyone's sight, but the triangular top that is very recognizable and has a sense of age is still recognizable at a glance.
And the bell tower seemed to recognize them.
"Dang!"
Without warning, a huge bell suddenly exploded in everyone's head.
The four people's eyes went blank. The strong dizziness caused their bodies to lose balance and fall to the ground uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming sleepiness hit me.
They had not slept for almost 30 hours and had been struggling. This wave of sleepiness was like a fuse, rustling into their bodies and instantly detonating the fatigue that had accumulated in their bodies for a long time.
Gu Chi struggled to support his body and turned to look at the bell tower.
In the wind and snow, the yellow dial representing the number of days had lit up at some point, and the hands rotated rapidly, from nine o'clock to ten o'clock, to eleven o'clock...and then to twelve o'clock!
"Dang!"
The bell rang again.
The blue dial also begins to glow.
Their arrival allowed the Bell Tower to start a time leap in advance!
No wonder there's no big movement ahead, so I'm waiting here...
Gu Chi resisted the urge to close his eyes and have a good sleep. He picked up the thermos bottle at his waist and took two gulps. The spicy taste that hit his forehead made his eyes bloodshot for a moment. He shook his head vigorously and shook his head. Akira stood up and took out his pistol——
"Bang bang bang!"
After firing three shots in a row, the bullets accurately grazed the arms of the three bell cats and shot into the snow.
The burning pain temporarily dispelled their sleepiness, and the three of them woke up suddenly.
"Drink the awakening soup, quickly!"
Lingmao and Jiangniao didn't dare to waste a second longer, and hurriedly opened the thermos bottle and drank heavily.
Only the mustard soup did not move, but looked at the clock tower with some reluctance.
At this time, the pointer on the blue dial has rotated twenty times.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise from behind.
Everyone looked back subconsciously.
I saw the iceberg in the distance suddenly slid down, rolling down countless rubbles, then cracking and collapsing, and the entire mountain collapsed together.
And this is just the beginning.
"Boom!"
The second iceberg began to tremble and collapse, followed by the third, fourth...
More and more icebergs are breaking apart, causing the earth to tremble in mourning. Dense cracks appear on the ice field under their feet. The road they came from is like a derailed train, with sections falling off layer by layer, falling into the ice. An abyss cracked by earthquakes.
"Tick tock."
The hands have completed their twenty-first turn.
There was no need for Gu Chi to remind them this time, Lingmao and the other three knew what to do.
"run!!"
Just running is of no use.
The road behind them continued to collapse. Everyone turned around and saw a large group of zombies in front of them, mixed with more than a dozen white bears, rushing towards them. At this moment, their target bell tower also sprung up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain. Large swathes of snow and white dust.
Jiangniao felt his scalp numb.
You will die if you cannot outrun the collapsed road, you will die if you are knocked down by zombies or bears, you will die if you cannot touch the bell tower, and you will die if you cannot stop the time jump.
However, the distance of tens of meters has become extremely difficult under these three fatal restrictions.
The difficulty of the S-level dungeon was fully demonstrated at this moment.
However, this is not a reason for them to give up.
No matter what, you will die, fight!
"Mustard soup, bring it up!"
Jiang Niao put the rope of the cart on his shoulders, and he wanted to run with the mustard soup!
But this time, Mustard Soup refused.
He stood there, his body swaying, his eyelids drooping, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.
Jiang Niao noticed that something was wrong with him: "Did you not drink the soup? Drink it now!"
Mustard soup made no sound.
Jiang Niao seemed to understand something and said angrily: "Don't tell me you don't have it! Didn't you say that the Awakening God Grass is enough? Are you lying to us?"
"No, it's enough." It's enough for the three of you.
Mustard Tang lowered his head. He actually wanted to follow Gu Chi and clear this dungeon with everyone.
If the bell tower can be eliminated before 12 o'clock, there will be no need for the Xingshen Soup.
It had been going smoothly before, but it was a pity that at the last moment, the goddess of luck was not on his side.
When he saw the dial on the clock tower starting to rotate in advance, Mustard Soup knew that he would not be able to pass this level, not to mention the appearance of avalanches and zombies... In this case, he should not hurt his teammates anymore.
"I don't care, come up here!" Jiang Niao kicked the mustard soup onto the cart and ran forward crazily.
But he forgot that mustard soup is a cook.
I have a knife, silly bird... Mustard Soup squeezed out the last bit of strength, took out the knife, and cut the rope.
There was suddenly no weight behind him, and Jiangniao stumbled and fell to the ground.
The ice sheet collapsed, and Mustard Tang, who was almost too sleepy to keep his eyes open, waved at the backs of Gu Chi and the others, then closed his eyes with peace of mind, and fell into the darkness with the cart.
The cold system text emerged.
[Player Mustard Soup died, mission failed, number of remaining players: 6]
Jiangniao didn't look back.
He clenched his fists, bit his lip, got up and continued running.
Ahead, Lingmao's eyes were red, but she knew that now was not the time to vent her personal emotions. She had to follow Gu Chi closely to ensure that the man who was opening the way ahead could receive treatment as soon as possible after being injured.
"Bang, bang bang!"
While running, Gu Chi pulled the trigger again and again, while avoiding the white bear coming from the side. His expression only changed slightly the moment the system announcement appeared, and then became calmer.
"Boom!"
The ice sheet was collapsing faster and faster, as if there was an invisible giant mouth that was constantly devouring their retreat.
Led by Gu Chi, the three people who shuttled among the zombies and white bears followed the sound of gunfire, and they were getting closer and closer to the rising bell tower.
Until the last five meters are left.
Gu Chi calculated the distance, threw the pistol into his backpack, and suddenly jumped with force——
Boom!
The body hit the bell tower with a dull sound. With the blessing of Stone Skin Technique, Gu Chi's left hand directly scratched the wooden wall under the dial. After sliding down for a distance, it hung firmly outside the bell tower.
Lingmao and Jiangniao arrived one after another. They didn't have strong hands like Gu Chi, but fortunately the bell tower had sharp edges and corners, and there were many places where they could put their hands and feet, and the two of them quickly stabilized their bodies.
"Tick tock."
The hands on the blue dial completed its thirty-eighth revolution.
"Buzz!"
The speed of the clock tower's ascent suddenly accelerated, almost throwing the bellcat away.
"Hold on tight!"
Gu Chi yelled from above.
Under their feet, the last piece of land in the ice sheet collapsed, and countless zombies and white bears roared and fell into the abyss.
"Tick tock."
Lap thirty-nine.
The time has come to the end.
Jiangniao had no idea what to do.
Only after he actually posted it on the clock tower did he realize that the two dials were much larger than he imagined, and even the second hand was thicker than his arm. How could he take it apart? ?
Fried?
"Jiangniao, come up and help me!"
Since it was difficult to dismantle, he would not dismantle it. Gu Chi made a quick decision and decided to reverse the blue dial directly.
Leave the yellow dial to Bellcat.
"Lingmao, find a way to fix its pointer and prevent it from turning to six o'clock!"
"good!"
The two received the order and acted quickly.
The bell tower had already brought them up in the air at this moment. Even the river birds who were afraid of heights did not dare to look down. They just climbed up desperately, letting big beads of sweat streak across their cheeks.
But when he was almost climbing to his destination, he suddenly stopped.
Gu Chi sensitively sensed something was wrong, and he followed Jiang Niao's gaze and raised his head.
On the eaves at the top, there was a white bear looking at them with a fierce look.
Gu Chi was silent.
After playing the game so far, he had vague answers to many puzzling questions in his mind. The rhythm of the dungeon advancement was basically under his control, and this white bear was the only thing that completely exceeded his expectations. matter.
Jiangniao said nothing, then climbed up, and soon reached the same height as Gu Chi.
He is on the right and Gu Chi is on the left. On the blue dial between them, the hour hand is approaching the end point.
Gu Chi's Adam's apple squirmed as he calmly thought about ways to kill the white bear safely.
But Jiangniao didn't give him time and directly took out the elephant hunting gun.
He has never been a good-tempered person, has little patience, and is not very polite when he is excited.
However, he also has his own advantages - at least Jiangdiao himself thinks so.
In reality, he can compromise with life, bow his head, and be submissive. He does not dare to help an old man who has fallen on the side of the road. He does not dare to help those who are bullied. Even if someone bullies him, he can only swallow his anger and bear it silently. Available in the game...
Sorry, he Jiangniao doesn't like this.
This team can do without him, but it can't do without Gu Chi.
If Gu Chi was gone, he and Lingmao would be finished too. Rather than the three of them dying together, it would be better for him to die alone.
Or maybe, in his heart, he has always longed to be a hero. He is very handsome, isn't he?
Anyway...a smelly white bear also wants to block their way?
nonexistent.
"I'm going to find that damn fat guy, come on." Jiang Niao said to Gu Chi.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a ruthless look in his eyes, he raised the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at the white bear, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"You bitch, die!"
boom!
The deafening sound of gunfire pierced the night sky and lingered for a long time.
The powerful recoil instantly knocked the river bird away. The white bear also let out a wail, fell from the roof, and was buried with the river bird.
[Player Jiangniao died, mission failed, number of remaining players: 5]
The bellcat below still didn't know what was going on. In the few seconds when Jiangdiao fired, the blue dial had completed forty revolutions, the pointer stopped at eleven o'clock, and the yellow dial began to accelerate.
In order to stop it, Lingmao grabbed the hands on the dial with both hands and hung his whole body on it.
The sharp needle blade cut her palm, and bright red blood flowed down her wrist, which was shocking.
The piercing pain in her heart left Lingmao with no time to care about anything else. She looked in pain, but never let go. She didn't even urge Gu Chi, because she believed that this man would never let her down.
Gu Chi put aside the complicated look in his eyes and looked at the blue dial again.
He asked Jiang Niao to come up. He originally wanted to move over slowly and see if the pointer could be lifted with the weight of two people.
If not, you can move it back and use other methods.
But now that Jiang Niao is dead, he has no choice.
Can only jump.
Gu Chi took a deep breath, used the protruding grid pattern of the clock tower as a springboard, jumped up, grabbed the hands of the blue dial with both hands, and used the force of the fall to pull down hard!
"Buzz!"
The entire clock tower suddenly erupted with dazzling light, and the abyss underfoot turned white. The hands on the dial seemed to be blurred. Gu Chi and Lingmao lost their grip and fell from the sky. At the same time, the hands of the blue dial began to reverse direction. , and it turns faster and faster.
The falling two people were quickly engulfed by white light. The backflow of air slapped their faces painfully, but it erased the wrinkles at the corners of their eyes. Their skin returned to smoothness silently, and their gray hair gradually turned black.
In the white light, hazy scenes and images quickly regressed.
Riverbird and Mustard Soup cuddled up next to each other and fell asleep.
Bellcat, who had been sleeping on him all night, rolled to the floor when he got up.
Neil held his golden retriever and stood outside the door looking at the villa reluctantly.
William rushed into the hospital with a gun and never came out.
…
Until a certain moment, all these images disappeared, and the white light gradually dimmed.
Just like the fog was blown away by the wind, the blurred vision of the two gradually became clear, and more colors flooded into their eyes, intertwining into a strange and familiar street.
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers~"
"Current affairs tabloids are freshly released. If you don't read them, you won't be able to keep up with the times!"
When the newsboy's shouts reached his ears, Gu Chi was startled, and immediately took out his phone and opened the calendar.
Today’s date is——
November 13, 5776.
…
