Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

In front of Building A, the bodies of two snipers lay quietly on the ground.

Zhou Qian didn't let his team out for the time being, but waited for 3 minutes.

In the past 3 minutes, ghosts and ghosts were constantly heard in the whole building, and no new snipers came out of the building. In addition, there were no other S troops who might be lurking nearby outside the building and rushed over after discovering the anomaly.

In this way, after confirming that there were only these two snipers here, Zhou Qian waved his hand and walked over with the other three teammates.

It took less than half a minute for everyone to quickly remove all the bullets, guns and other tools from the two corpses.

During the process, He Xiaowei tried to steal people's clothes. He thought that if they could change into S Army's clothes, they might be able to sneak into the S Army later.

But he found he couldn't.

Because these shooters don't have faces, and they don't have substantial clothing.

They are like a group of black shadows condensed into a human form. They can see, hear, talk, and carry guns to kill people, but they are not real people.

Letting his teammates search for the loot, Zhou Qian walked to the side slowly - it was 200 meters in front of the building, just within reach of the street lights.

After lowering his head to search for a while, Zhou Qian found the dim scale that had not been washed away by the current.

Stretching out his hand, Zhou Qian put the scales in the palm of his hand. When staring at it, he seemed to be thinking about something, and looked very focused.

He Xiaowei walked over with a gun, squatted beside him, and looked at the scale together with him.

After a while, he patted Zhou Qian on the shoulder. "I find you rather strange. You don't seem to be as cold-blooded as you appear."

"Huh?" Zhou Qian was very surprised, "Am I acting ruthless? I think I am very friendly to you. Isn't it?"

He Xiaowei: "..."

Putting the bullets and gunpowder he collected in his bag, He Xiaowei asked again: "Cough...what's the matter with this little dragon? Is it some kind of...spiritual product of yours?"

When players leave the game, all wounds will heal.

Therefore, He Xiaowei speculated that they did not enter this game with their bodies, but their spirits.

Their training and upgrades in the game are actually spiritual upgrades.

Then, it is actually entirely possible that the spirit can differentiate a certain kind of creature or even a person in the game world.

Zhou Qian looked at the scales in his hand and said: "It should be. But I feel...they are not entirely my spiritual product."

He Xiaowei didn't understand: "Eh? What do you mean? It's not yours alone? It's the product of you and who?"

Zhou Qian didn't answer, he just remembered last night, Xiaolong walked towards 701 as if he had self-awareness.It has a very clear goal - Jiang Yuqing.

Zhou Qian was introduced into the game by a dragon, and then he walked step by step. Although it was all related to his own choice, all the hidden copies were opened through his own efforts.

But he always felt that there seemed to be someone in the dark, hoping that he would walk on the road he had paved.

Zhou Qian is obviously a person who doesn't like to be "arranged".

After all, he has always arranged for others.

At that moment, he didn't say anything more, put away the scales, stood up, looked back at Situ Qing and Yun Xiangrong, "Let's go. Now go to the next target - building B."

·

Half an hour later, the snipers in the three ABC buildings were all dealt with by Zhou Qian's team in a similar way.

In this way, the second security circle of the city can be freely searched by Zhou Qian and the others.

When playing games, monsters usually appear where there are important treasures.

After killing the monsters, in addition to finding good things from them, it is often easy to find good things by searching around it.

This rule is also applicable in this dungeon.

The four people gained quite a lot and found a lot of weapons, including smoke bombs, flash bombs, explosive kits and so on.

Players with these weapons, of course, have more advantages than when they first started.

Thinking that the S Army from the periphery was about to arrive, they quickly covered a main road with explosives and set up a trap, and then hid in the tall building A that was closest to the West Wharf.

As soon as they entered the building, they were surrounded by ghosts.

But soon the four of them took out the uniforms of the Seventh Army, and the ghosts greeted them with joy.

"Ah, the Seventh Army is here!"

"They're here to save us!"

"Are you tired, thirsty?"

Zhou Qian only said one thing to the group of ghosts: "People from the S Army will come soon. Within ten seconds, you have to turn off all the lights, and everyone is forbidden to speak after that. We will set up an ambush here."

After Zhou Qian finished speaking, the group of ghosts immediately followed suit.

The common hatred for the S Army allowed them to complete what Zhou Qian asked in a very short period of time.

Sure enough, within ten seconds, all the lights in Building A were extinguished.

In addition, there was silence in the building, and no ghost spoke again.

Of course, before returning to Building A, Zhou Qian and the others had already used the same words to explain the ghosts of the two buildings in BC.

Therefore, when looking at it from a distance, the three tall buildings of ABC are all silent, and none of the rooms are lit, as if nothing happened not long ago, and the snipers of the S Army are still in ambush here of.

After choosing a location with the best view on the top floor of Building A, the four members of the team ambushed here.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, people from Army S came over one after another.

They came from three directions—east, north, and west, which happened to be the directions where the three buildings of ABC could radiate.

Among them, the largest team was indeed walking towards Building A. After all, this road is the closest to the second main road, which happened to be the ambush set by Zhou Qian and the others.

The rest of the teams with a small number of people took the rest of the trails, going west and north respectively.

There are people in all three directions, except for the south.

Zhou Qian speculates that there are three possibilities.

First, there are indeed landmines buried in that wasteland.

Second, countless people from Baicheng are buried there. It is indeed a cemetery, but there is no dog blood and talismans in that area. It is estimated that the S Army is unwilling to go there out of some kind of taboo.

Thirdly, except for a few trees, there were no houses in the wasteland, which could be seen almost at a glance. It was impossible for Jiang Yuqing to hide there, so they didn't need to search there.

At the moment, standing on the highest point of Building A, watching a large group of people approaching from a distance, Zhou Qian carefully watched their route with a telescope.

They did not walk straight towards the second main road, but searched from house to house while walking, in order to find Jiang Yuqing.

People kept entering the houses on both sides of the street, and people kept coming out. When they came out, their unified movement was to shake their heads, indicating that Jiang Yuqing was not among them.

After the team had walked the entire street and all the rooms had been searched, and after confirming that Jiang Yuqing was not there, Zhou Qian looked at Yun Xiangrong and nodded to her.

When Yun Xiangrong caught his gaze, he immediately picked up his piccolo and played it lightly.

The sound of the flute was melodious, but when it came out from the tall building, it was as low as a mosquito.

And at the moment when the flute sounded, catkins floated around the piccolo.

In the past, these catkins could be sent to the wounded to help them heal their wounds.

Now they have turned into sharp weapons that can hurt people.

But this time, Yun Xiangrong did not rely on Liu Xu to harm the enemy, but only used it as a medium.

After the catkins gathered together, Yun Xiangrong didn't send them out immediately.

He Xiaowei took a lighter with quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly lit the catkins that had made up a large ball with the torch.

After this, Yun Xiangrong's flute sounded a little more urgent, and the catkins gathered into a ball of fire, then scattered into a sky full of stars, all floated out of the tall building, and then scattered and fell down.

On the street not far away, there was a sudden discussion among the S Army.

"Look, what is that?"

"Are there fireflies? Are there fireflies in Baicheng?"

"That, that's not right!"

"A mere firefly, what's the harm?"

In a moment, in the pitch-black night, fireflies flying down from the sky filled the sky, as beautiful as the spectacle of countless meteors falling.

But this spectacle is fatal.

What they pounced on was not the group of people on the road, but the two ends of the road.

In an instant, countless sparks fell, and the small "popping" sound continued to sound. It was the sound of the fuse of the explosive hidden on the roadside being ignited.

This kind of voice is all too familiar to those who have been in the battlefield for a long time.

"Not good! There is an ambush!"

After a cry of exclamation, the well-trained marching team suddenly dispersed and fled in all directions.

But that was too late.

"Boom!" "Boom!"——

The loud noise kept ringing out, the whole street was blown up in an instant, and the flames shot up into the sky, like a giant beast opened its terrifying mouth, the tongue of flame slipped out, chasing mercilessly, and then devouring every S army trying to escape.

On the main road, the S Army's brigade was wiped out, and the flames of the long street almost dyed the sky red.

The squad S soldiers walking in other directions sensed that something was wrong, and quickly ran over with guns.

But at this time, Zhou Qian and his party had already quietly left Building A, heading straight for the last "safety circle" - the core area of ​​Baicheng!

·

Leaving Changjiang Road, the second main road, the four players walked along the road for a while in the dark while checking for dog blood and talisman papers on the ground.

When walking somewhere, Zhou Qian made a gesture to make the four of them stop.

The reason why he asked everyone to stop here is simple-about 500 meters away, almost all places are brightly lit.

For what reason, in the core area of ​​the city, every household is actually lit with lights?

Zhou Qian temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and arranged for the four of them to be divided into two groups again.

After the grouping, what everyone did was the same as the previous time-by climbing trees or climbing on the roof of buildings, etc., they explored the situation in the core area of ​​the city and saw which tall buildings were surrounded by talismans.

The location of the urban core circle is already relatively small, almost an area of ​​about three kilometers in radius.

This time, it took less than 10 minutes for everyone to have a basic survey and returned to the original place to gather.

But at this time, everyone's expression is undoubtedly a little serious.

Because the situation seems to be much more complicated than they imagined.

Not far ahead is the center of the city, and the largest area is a school.

There are many buildings in the school, and a tower inside is the tallest building in this area, and it is also the place Zhou Qian really wants to take down.

As for the surroundings of the school, there are straight and wide roads on three sides, connecting many alleys and various buildings.The remaining side is a row of low houses.

According to the players' judgment at the beginning, most of the S army was outside the city. They were afraid of all the ghosts in the city, so they asked the two children to slowly pour blood and paste talisman papers until most of the ghosts were sealed.

In this case, there will not be too many S soldiers who entered the center of the city from the very beginning, and the number is almost equal to the size of the snipers in the three ABC buildings.

But the results of their investigations were not like this.

Fortunately, they stopped in time, starting from about 300 meters ahead, talisman papers were almost everywhere.In the pitch-black night, it was clearly visible that many bright yellow talisman papers almost merged into rivers and spread on every road.

This means that in the core area of ​​the city, there may be an ambush in every house.

"Damn it, what's going on?" He Xiaowei lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Not only are there so many S soldiers on the outskirts of the city, but there are so many people in the inner circle! At first we thought there were no people here!"

Zhou Qian frowned slightly, and then said: "So we have to revise our previous judgment. But after thinking about it, this is more reasonable. Remember the two plot points we triggered?"

"Remember." He Xiaowei immediately replied, "The first one is to marry a ghost bride, and the second one is to be robbed by ghost dolls on the long street!"

"Yes, in the two plots, both the big and the thin and the little fat appeared. They first went to the place where the bride was married, and then the long street. Compared with the outermost long street, the alley where the bride-to-be incident happened A little closer to the city. So—”

Zhou Qian said, "It can be speculated that these two children moved from the center of the city to the outside of the city.

"Then, based on the situation we have observed now, the real situation should be that a group of people from the S Army came to Cypress City first, and they went straight to the center of the city. The big and thin and the little fat may be in the first place. In the very center of the city."

For various reasons, a team of S troops first came to the core of the city.

The guess that can be made is that there are no mines or anything like that in this area, because those people need to run around in this area.It is precisely because of this that, in order to avoid encountering ghosts, they pasted up talisman papers all over the place.

The big, thin and chubby at the beginning were brought to the core area of ​​the city by this S army.

It was also the S army that forced them to sprinkle talisman paper all the way from the core area of ​​the city to the west pier, so as to pave a way for the rest of the large army to enter the center of the city without hindrance.

So, the two children walked all the way from the city center to the periphery. At the request of the S Army, they left talisman papers in many hellish areas, and placed a large number of talisman papers on tall buildings where they needed snipers to set up ambushes.

In this way, they walked all the way out, first met the ghost bride, and after sealing her, they retreated to the outermost long street of the city, trying to seal a large number of ghosts there.

Hearing this, He Xiaowei couldn't help asking: "A group of S troops just came to the center of Baicheng City...for what?"

Yun Xiangrong replied, "Maybe it has something to do with the plot. Isn't there a school in the middle of the city? There may be some kind of laboratory in it. Or, Jiang Yuqing left some notes in that university. They need to search the school. Jiang Yuqing The notes are very important, so this group of people came in first despite the fact that the ghost was not sealed."

Zhou Qian is sitting on the tree at the moment, squinting towards the direction of the school.

"Actually, the complete story is probably that one of the S Army came to Baicheng first, and at the same time they captured Jiang Yuqing.

"Maybe just like what Yun Xiangrong said, Jiang Yuqing may have been to this school before and left things behind; or maybe a certain professor here is a classmate of Jiang Yuqing, who knows some relevant information and wrote some drafts related to the formula...

"In short, this S army brought Jiang Yuqing to the school, forced him to write the formula, and simultaneously launched a search in the school."

After a pause, Zhou Qian said again: "It's just that Jiang Yuqing was rescued later. At the same time, all the checkpoints leaving the city were occupied by the S Army. Then they can basically guarantee that Jiang Yuqing did not leave the city, but still hid in the somewhere.

"Afterwards, they did a series of things, such as arranging for the children to sprinkle talisman papers. Because of the haunting, some people withdrew to the pier, but because of the urgent task, some people continued to stay in the school and its surroundings to continue searching for information .”

"Now I speculate... probably based on the principle that the most dangerous place is the safest place, Jiang Yuqing is hiding in that school, or near the school.

"The large troops outside the city will search in layer by layer, but the people left inside are also looking for him every inch of land. Then maybe...Jiang Yuqing will be found out soon. In addition, the above speculation also shows that something very important.”

He Xiaowei was nervous when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's important?"

Zhou Qian's eyes were quite serious: "The S Army in the center of the city is the vanguard. In other words, they are the army that actually carried out the invasion plan. The people all over the city... were the first to be slaughtered by them! "

An elite army that invaded Baicheng and slaughtered the people is in the core area of ​​the city at this moment.

Those on the pier were part of the reserve army, and one came after the vanguard successfully captured Baicheng.

Therefore, the combat power of the S Army in the center of the city may not be comparable to that of the small fish and shrimps before.

They are a fine team, but also extremely brutal.

After figuring out many key points, Yun Xiangrong couldn't help but frowned and said, "This level... can't be just a level two difficulty. Where does the 60% clearance rate come from?"

At this time, Situ Qing glanced at Zhou Qian next to him, and immediately said: "I guess, there are two kinds of main missions. If we didn't pass the side mission called "Balancing" yesterday, then the difficulty of today's main mission will actually be much lower .

"But now... we are already farming hidden achievements. So this task seems too difficult.

"Not to mention that the enemies in the center of the city are extremely difficult to deal with. Even if they are dealt with...there is still no idea how many large troops there will be on the pier. How can the four of us fight against thousands of troops?"

After discussing a few words, the three players all looked at Zhou Qian with indescribable expressions.

However, Zhou Qian calmly took out the paper and pen, and began to try to draw a map of the center of the city.

Then he said: "The S army inside is elite, but it's just that the marksmanship is more accurate, and the people are stronger and more brutal. But their weapon configuration must be similar, and they will not suddenly come out with some kind of monster that deviates from the logic of the dungeon." Powerful weapons are against us.

"Besides, this group of people slaughtered the city, and it is likely that a lot of shells have been used up, and their strength has been greatly weakened when they attacked the city.

"Finally, the game must have a way to clear the level. If the three safety circles are regarded as three small levels, then the rules given by the first two levels must also apply to the third level. Otherwise, the plot given earlier and The levels are all meaningless. If the game designer changes the rules arbitrarily and willfully, then this is not a game, why doesn’t he just kill the players?”

"Therefore, avoiding the lights can avoid being sniped; cleaning the dog's blood and uncovering the talisman paper can unlock the ghost seal; these rules will continue to apply.

"Everyone has to open up a little bit. In fact, the only added difficulty in the last level is that before we only need to deal with the three buildings of ABC. Now we have to deal with a slightly wider range."

What everyone thinks is - this is called a little bit wider, that's all?

The core area of ​​the city is full of talismans and blood, and all places are brightly lit. They have nowhere to hide. If they walk another 500 meters, they will be directly exposed to all the lights.

This, how should this be played?

Situ Qing took the lead and said: "Cleaning such a large area of ​​dog blood, I will run out of mana. Then we basically can't use skills to deal with the S army. If I snipe alone... I'm afraid I can't fight at all."

He Xiaowei sighed again and again: "I wish I had learned how to shoot earlier."

Yun Xiangrong said bluntly: "It's useless for you to learn earlier. When the difference in the number of the two sides is so great, Situ Qing carries the gun alone, and the two of you carry the gun together. The result is the same. We have to find other ways .”

He Xiaowei was stunned for a moment. "Hey, you're right—"

But Yun Xiangrong looked directly at Zhou Qian and asked, "So, what do you think?"

Zhou Qian quickly finished the sketch on the draft paper, and then he focused on outlining a small road: "I roughly drew a map based on the results of our two groups of investigations. The road I have drawn now is made of talisman paper, dog blood, Lamps are the least of the three.

"Now the three of you work together to accomplish one thing.

"Yun Xiangrong urged the catkins to cover the street lights along the road, slowly, without making any noise. After walking a third of the distance, while continuing to cover the street lights in front, you blow off the catkins covering the lights on the way back, so that the previous The shadowed lights were turned on again, so as not to arouse suspicion if the whole road was dark.

"As for He Xiaowei and Situ Qing, follow the previous method to clean up the talisman paper and dog blood on this road."

"If we only deal with this one road...the three of us have more than enough skill points. It's just—" Yun Xiangrong glanced at Zhou Qian's map, "Is the road you drew leading to that school?"

"Yes. Take this road, we can go through the row of houses and arrive at the school. According to my observation, that is the back door of the school."

At this point, Zhou Qian further explained: "Since the first target of this S Army team is the school, I think... the school is likely to be the first place to suffer the massacre. In fact, Big Skinny and Little Fatty may have been there at that time. It's nearby, maybe even going to school here. After seeing the talismans on their bodies and knowing that they know some yin and yang spells, the S Army kept them."

Zhou Qian drew a circle where the school is located, and said: "The school's laboratory, library, or office are suitable places for Jiang Yuqing to write. So after the people of the S Army find Jiang Yuqing, they will probably put it in the end. He takes it to school.

"Then, instead of trying to find a way to sneak into the school when the time comes, we might as well lurk in before the large group of people come in. This is the first reason for going to school."

"As for the second reason—"

Zhou Qian's tone sank slightly, and there seemed to be dark waves surging in his eyes. "Since there is a high probability of a massacre in the school, there must be a lot of ghosts here. Then, by lifting the seal, there will be a lot of undead that can be used by us.

"This is called going directly into the enemy's hinterland and turning passive into active."

·

It took another 7 minutes, and according to Zhou Qian's method, the four of them successfully walked through a small path, and they really arrived at the back gate of the school directly.

Inside the gate is the back playground of the school.

The night seemed extremely long and heavy at this moment.

At this moment, there was no moonlight at all, and with the help of the lights on the side of the playground, the naked eye could see that the playground was covered with bones.

——How many students, teachers, and common people were slaughtered here?

Hiding behind the wall next to the back door, the players felt heavy.

At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded at the back door, and everyone immediately retreated to a nearby private house.

Just now they cleaned up the talisman paper dog blood along the road, unsealed many ghosts, and not only told them to hide and not make a sound, but also asked them to help check the surrounding area, and confirmed that at least this row of private houses was free of S soldiers.

The reason why there were talisman papers here before was probably because the S army needed to go to the houses to search for information, find Jiang Yuqing, and needed to go inside to get food and drink for supplies.

At this moment, Qiqimao was hiding in the private house with his back bent. Through two walls, they could hear the back door being opened.

The sound of military boots stomping on the ground resounded in the alley.

The voice of an S soldier came immediately.It was him talking to someone over the walkie-talkie.

"Yes, you inform the large troops outside the city that Jiang Yuqing has been found, and they don't need to search everywhere."

"Where is he? Damn, they have a saying here that it's dark under the lights, and it's true. He's actually hiding in the school cafeteria! There's a very hidden basement under the wine cellar. Damn... how much work did we spend?" "

"Of course, we've tied him up."

"What are you going to do next? Ha, did you know that besides Jiang Yuqing, there are many students and teachers in the basement, and there are probably intelligence personnel from their country hidden in it. There are about twenty of them in total."

"Well... the notice goes on and Jiang Yuqing and those people are all tied up on the playground."

"Let Jiang Yuqing write the formula immediately. Of course we have plenty of time to wait for him, but every 10 minutes, we will shoot one of his compatriots! Until he writes it out!"
