Gu Ji was a scout before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, his team successfully captured a small village from the zombies and used it as a stronghold to build Zhiyuan City.
After the establishment of Zhiyuan City, it attracted survivors from many nearby towns to seek refuge, and the city grew in size.
As for Gu Ji himself, he got a player qualification due to luck, and his abilities are more focused on investigation.
At the same time, Gu Ji also had a considerable foundation in investigation, so he was eventually appointed as the investigation captain by the senior officials of Zhiyuan City.
On this day, Gu Ji was conducting a weekly inspection with his team members. The purpose was to detect the situation of mutant beasts near Zhiyuan City and eliminate all potential threats to Zhiyuan City.
"Captain, it's getting late, shouldn't we take a break?" one of the team members asked.
The player who spoke was another player in the team named Zhao Pingchuan.
There are only two players in the entire investigation team, and Zhao Pingchuan, as a combat player, is not particularly obedient to Gu Ji.
Gu Ji looked up at the sky and said, "It's still early. It will be rest time in half an hour. Let's rest after we get out of this valley."
Zhao Pingchuan complained with an unhappy face: "Captain, it's not me who said there is anything to investigate around here. Due to the large number of players' activities, the mutated beasts around Zhiyuan City have already entered the depths of the mountains and forests. Our investigation is just a matter of fact. That’s all, there’s no need to be so serious, right?”
Gu Ji frowned and said: "This is our job. If you don't want to do it, you can apply for transfer from the superiors. I won't stop you. But as long as we stay on the job for one day, we can't be careless in the slightest, otherwise something will happen to us." No one can afford it!"
"Hmph, playing the piano to a cow!" Zhao Pingchuan snorted coldly and walked forward on his own.
Although he felt unhappy, Gu Ji was his superior after all, and Zhao Pingchuan really didn't dare to act too much.
Feeling the strong smell of gunpowder in the air, the other team members did not dare to speak any more. For a while, there was only the sound of footsteps in the entire valley.
"Huh?" After an unknown amount of time, a team member's surprised voice broke the team's silence.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ji turned around and asked.
I saw the team member looking at the back of his hand in confusion. A snowflake had just fallen on the back of his hand. Although it was quickly melted by his body temperature, it still left a little mark on the back of his hand.
At this time, not only him, but everyone noticed that snowflakes were falling from the sky and the temperature began to drop rapidly.
Zhao Pingchuan walked to Gu Ji and said, "Captain, it's snowing, should we close the team?"
Gu Ji looked at the sky solemnly, completely ignoring Zhao Pingchuan's words, and murmured to himself: "Strange, the wind direction today doesn't seem to make it snow, right?"
Gu Ji grew up in the countryside and knew how to judge the climate based on celestial phenomena. Although it may not be completely accurate, it is still close to ten.
Hearing Gu Ji's soliloquy, Zhao Pingchuan said with disdain: "Captain, it's the end of the world now. The climate has long been different from the past. It's time for your old experience to be eliminated."
Gu Ji shook his head and said: "Something is wrong, absolutely wrong! The temperature has changed too fast. In such a short period of time, the temperature has dropped at least ten degrees, and it is still dropping!"
Suddenly, a team member pointed to the other side of the valley and said to Gu Ji: "Captain, look, there are mutant beasts!"
Gu Ji heard the sound and looked around, and sure enough, a figure of an ice-blue wolf mutant appeared on the other side of the valley, slowly walking towards the crowd.
From the mutated beast, Gu Ji sensed a sense of crisis that he had never experienced before, as if death was approaching step by step!
Moreover, I don’t know if it was Gu Ji’s illusion, but every time the mutant beast took a step, the surrounding temperature would drop by one point!
"Hide! Hide quickly!" Gu Ji shouted and quickly hid in the woods nearby.
There are various signs that this mutant beast that suddenly appeared in front of you is by no means comparable to those ordinary things!
Gu Ji's team consists of seven people. Only he and Zhao Pingchuan are players, the others are ordinary people, and he himself is not a combat player.
You don't need to think about it to know that their team is definitely no match for this mutant beast!
In this case, running away is definitely the stupidest behavior. How can their speed compare with such a powerful existence?
The other party may not have noticed their team originally, but if they act rashly, they may be killed!
The best way is to hide yourself as much as possible and pray that the other party won't find you!
After receiving Gu Ji's order, other members of the team quickly took cover. Even Zhao Pingchuan decisively chose to obey Gu Ji's command at this time.
Because Zhao Pingchuan knew that Gu Ji had an ability that a combat player like him didn't have!
"Captain, how is the situation?" Zhao Pingchuan asked in Gu Ji's ear as low as possible.
Gu Ji shook his head slightly, and also lowered his voice and said: "You can't see it yet. Wait until it moves forward a little further before it can enter the range of the skill."
After hearing what Gu Ji said, Zhao Pingchuan stopped talking and quietly stepped aside.
Gu Ji hid behind the tree and watched the mutated beast getting closer and closer, his heart skipping a beat.
At this time, the opponent was less than three hundred meters away from them, and they could even clearly see that the huge claws stepped on the ground, and the ground was instantly covered with frost!
The temperature in the valley was already extremely low. Gu Ji and Zhao Pingchuan could still bear it, but several other ordinary people could only curl up in a ball and shiver.
"That's it now!" Zhao Pingchuan's eyes lit up and he secretly said in his heart: "Activate the skill and look for energy!"
Wangqi: After using it on the target, you can get some information that cannot be observed with the naked eye. The stronger you are, the more information you can get. It consumes ten energy points and has a ten-minute cooling time.
After noticing Gu Ji's movements, Zhao Pingchuan looked at the other party and waited quietly for the results of Gu Ji's skills.
If Gu Ji's ability is used on a living creature, he can see the opponent's strength. In a sense, this skill is more intuitive than [Information Peeping].
But what Zhao Pingchuan was waiting for was not the answer he wanted. Instead, Gu Ji's whole body trembled suddenly, and a trace of blood slowly flowed down the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Pingchuan was shocked. This was the first time he encountered Gu Ji in such a situation. "Captain, what happened?"
Gu Ji sat down on the ground, with deep horror in his eyes: "It's too... too strong! My [Wang Qi] was directly invalidated, and I couldn't get any information, and I also suffered a backlash!"
"How could this happen?" Zhao Pingchuan slowly looked at the mutated beast, the horror in his heart was no less than that of Gu Ji.
On the other side, the Ice Emperor glanced at the place where everyone was hiding.
It had discovered these weak creatures a long time ago, but it had no interest in taking care of them at this time.
Unexpectedly, the other party would use probing abilities on me without hesitation. This time it was a lesson for them.
