Gradually, the other party's people gathered. What surprised Li Yi was that there seemed to be a lot of people on the other side?
The man saw Li Yi's doubts and opened his mouth to clarify his confusion: "These are the other team members who were separated." At this point, he seemed to remember something, frowned, and asked.
"You didn't receive the extermination mission? Who are you?"
It turns out that just now, the missions of these mission teams were updated. In addition to continuing to exterminate the four-person team, there was also an additional strange mission that seemed to have nothing to do with the extermination.
[Investigate the continuous disappearance cases in the competitive city and find the real culprit behind the scenes. Those who successfully complete the mission will receive a pardon certificate for mission failure. NOTE: Squads available. 】
Li Yizheng wanted to ask what the mission was, but then he thought of some anomalies he saw along the way, and immediately changed his mind: "It's not important. I found some clues, which may be related to the missing people."
"What did you find? Take me to see it quickly!" A woman covered in blood but with an excellent figure rushed forward desperately, grabbed Li Yi's arm, and asked hurriedly.
The person who came was none other than Yu Yulin, the captain of the Lingdu team. Looking at her current appearance, it was obvious that she had gone through a hard battle. There was almost no good spot on her body. She looked scarred and ragged. Her face was filled with despair. His expression, after hearing Li Yi's words, immediately seemed like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.
Li Yi glanced at the other party and ignored her.
Although you look good, well... you are quite comfortable, but you are a bit too strong. What kind of weird girl is this?
After a moment, Yu Yulin seemed to realize his gaffe, let go of his hand slightly, and stepped aside with an awkward expression, but still stared at Li Yi, unblinking, as if he was afraid that this man would say something different. Just like disappearing.
Instructing the other party to be calm, Li Yi spoke again with a serious expression: "I just finished my rest and got separated from my teammates when I went out. I wonder if this is the case for you?" He saw those people hidden in the rain curtain frequently. Nodding, he felt confident.
This is a collection and distribution center for lost persons!
Thinking of this, he glanced at the man who had given him tremendous pressure before.
"You haven't asked for advice yet?"
"You're welcome, I, Ye Ye'an, brother just said that he found some abnormalities, could you please elaborate?"
This Ye Zi'an had a quack tone and didn't look like an unreasonable person. He had just accidentally hurt his team member. Li Yi was also a little uneasy, so he tried to answer in the other person's tone. Unexpectedly, the other person was quite calm. Easy to talk to.
Moreover, this Ye Ye'an seems to be quite prestigious. He has gathered these people who have been separated from his teammates. It seems that he must have given these people some kind of promise, otherwise he would not be eager to think about it when he hears the clues. Know.
"It's easy to say. In fact, I just accidentally discovered something unusual. I wonder if you have noticed that since this place is called 'city', I didn't find anyone in this city. Isn't it strange?" Li After Yi finished speaking, he looked around to observe the reactions of the people around him.
To his surprise, everyone disagreed. One of them curled his lips and said with disdain: "What did you think? This city of competition has always been like this. Whenever the dungeon world is opened, the city owner will use the biochemical energy to maintain the operation of the city. People are kept one by one so as not to disturb our battle. It is normal not to see people. Brother, this isn't your first time here, is it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone cast suspicious eyes on Li Yi, seeming to be scrutinizing him.
Li Yi didn't take it seriously. There was no unnaturalness on his face, and he continued to talk: "Yes, of course I know this. I wonder if you have met the biochemical team before?"
Ye Zi'an frowned and nodded in agreement: "Yes, we have encountered each other before. I didn't feel it at first. I just felt that even if the suppression was relaxed, there would not be such a weak team. Later I discovered that these people actually It’s a cyborg, but what’s the problem with that?”
In Ye Zi'an's view, this kind of cyborg team is most likely a "remote control toy" for some big shots who don't want to go out in person but want to experience combat. It is a toy for fun, which was not uncommon in the past.
"Of course it's strange! Look at this." Li Yi said, handing Ye Zi'an a piece of metal fragment.
Ye Zi'an looked shocked after taking it.
"This...this is the city lord's bionic bodyguard!"
"I'll be honest with you." Li Yi saw that Ye Zi'an could tell the origin of the metal fragment at a glance and had already expected it: "Before I came to this restricted area, I encountered a team of cyborgs. It was a trophy at that time. What makes me feel strange is that these cyborgs seem to be coming for me. Although I don’t know what their purpose is, it is obviously different from the past routine.”
"That's right." Ye Zi'an took Li Yi's words and continued his own analysis: "Maybe you don't know that this competitive city is actually the private residence of an ancient god. You think this god likes to fight. So he built such a city as a 'chamber' for everyone to fight, and he would even go out to compete in person if he met an opponent he liked."
Speaking of this, Ye Zi'an glanced at Li Yi, thought about something and shook his head.
"But these are just legends. It is said that the current city lord is only related to the god, not the true deity. Because of this, the current city lord does not have the ability of the god to create, so he created many biochemical people through means to maintain This city, and precisely because of this, when the competitive city is opened as a dungeon world, all these biochemicals must be put into the huge furnace to maintain operation. Only the energy of the biochemicals themselves can be used to barely maintain the operation of the entire city. , otherwise why do you think this city can recover as before after so many battles? Why do we have such a high threshold for entry?"
When everyone heard this, they all lowered their heads in thought. After a while, one of them raised his head and looked at Li Yi and Ye Zi'an, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"So what you mean is..."
Li Yi gave him an affirmative reply: "You are right. If my guess is correct, this competitive city probably cannot rely on those biochemical people to maintain normal operation. Someone has given him huge benefits. Let him rather send out some biochemical people to achieve his goal, and the goal of this person is probably one of you here, otherwise the person who you think can kidnap your team members unknowingly will not take you away with him?"
What!
Only then did everyone suddenly realize, with shocked expressions on their faces. After a long time of thinking, is this coming for us?
Li Yi smiled slightly, signaled everyone to be calm, and then continued his analysis: "If I guess correctly, everyone here represents more or less the big forces behind you, right?"
"Then you can count. According to your understanding, apart from everyone here, what other forces are absent now?"
