Misha County, Baishi Village
Respectively in The two people who had spent a full 12 hours in reality, but had only disappeared from the game for less than a minute, appeared in the carriage at the same time, and even their postures did not change at all from before they were offline.
“Good evening~”
Yu Chen stretched out a little and said to Mo Tan with a smile: "I have been chatting with my friends just now. Fortunately, I set the alarm clock for seven o'clock before. It was a big risk. It would have been terrible if we didn't make it in time. "
The latter was slightly stunned, and then asked subconsciously: "What about your friends?"
Yu Chen tilted his head: "Hang up, they have nothing to do. No one in the world of sin is as diligent as me."
Mo Tan realized then that they did not come together to rule the country and bring peace to the world, but to use high-tech means of remote communication... To put it simply. It’s just social software for chatting.
【I'm like an idiot. 】
He silently complained about his frequent gaffes recently, and then remembered the conversation between the two of them that was forcibly interrupted by the system in the morning. He immediately took a deep breath and asked Yuchen with an unusually serious expression: "Eat Have you?”
“Huh?”
“Uh... I mean dinner.”
"Oh."
Then the conversation stopped strangely.
【What am I thinking about! What age are you still asking, "Have you eaten?", Mo Tan, you must have eaten enough! 】
Mo Tan roared in his heart with extreme grief and anger.
Of course, he didn't want to continue the conversation they had before they were offline, not at all.
Although Mo Tan impulsively picked up his phone and wanted to send a text message to the other party when he climbed out of the game cabin in the morning, it was just an impulse after all. For most people, under similar circumstances, The [Courage] attribute bonus that appears usually lasts no more than ten minutes. If you don't make up your mind or are interrupted by some unexpected reasons like Mo Tan, it's fine. If you actually make something within the bonus time, If you make some very courageous decisions, as long as you don’t get an excellent result, you will probably feel ashamed to death afterwards...
For example, acting cool when the blood is on the rise, literature and art when the blood is on the head, blowing when the blood is on the head, promises when the blood is on the head, confession when the blood is on the head, etc.
Although Mo Tan is not so passionate, if that text message had been sent out in the morning, there is still a high probability that he would be embarrassed to death...
Not embarrassed. The awkward atmosphere continued. Yu Chen, who was usually the first to break the silence in such situations, did not speak. He just hummed an unknown tune and took out a small copper kettle from his bag and silently boiled water. A set of mini alchemy equipment given to her by Na. Because it does not produce open flames, there is no need to worry about setting the car on fire.
A moment later
A familiar figure jumped in from outside.
"Hey, you two got up quite early."
Yu Ying said hello carelessly, then ran up behind Yuchen and hugged her slender waist, smiling mischievously. Said: "Your Highness the Saint, I want to drink the pack of Esgarro vanilla tea that Fuhrman sent yesterday~"
Yuchen's pretty face smiled slightly He nodded redly, then turned to Mo Tan and smiled when he failed to break away from Yu Ying: "What do you want, Commander?"
Finally he breathed a sigh of relief and Mo Tan shrugged: "I don't Take your pick, as long as you have something to drink.”
“Then I’ll go outside and pull some grass for you.”
The unfeeling female assassin rolled her eyes and curled her lips and said, "Don't you think I'm willful if you have such low demands?"
Because the other party broke the previous embarrassing (self-perceived) reason, what do you think? Why did Yu Ying like Mo Tan who didn't reply and choke her? She asked with a smile: "Tell me about the situation?"
"Huh?" Yuying blinked and said in surprise: "Didn't Yuchen tell you? She already told me before I logged off yesterday. I asked all the questions that needed to be asked, and then he was very happy to prepare a report for me. "
Yu Chen, who finally broke free from the former's clutches, pouted and hummed softly: "I've already told you, but someone doesn't seem to trust me very much, so please tell him again."
Mo Tan's liver trembled at that time, and he immediately overloaded his brain, flying He quickly added: "No, no, no, that's not what I wanted to ask. Do you still remember that when we were in Hind Hill, a group of mutants that should have been in the distance attacked us? Didn't I get disconnected at that time? Mainly I want to know the specific details in this regard.”
He had always kept this in mind, so he asked directly considering the current situation.
Yu Chen was indeed deceived. She first glanced at Mo Tan apologetically, then nodded with some worry: "It's indeed strange... Well, according to the rules summarized before, in such a situation They shouldn’t be able to notice us from a long distance.”
Although Yuchen is not responsible for specific operations, she has always worked hard to understand the situation, the specific situation of the joint forces and the mutants. I know a lot of information about Yu Ying. If she wasn't too powerful in treatment, even if she was asked to serve as Yuying's adjutant and dispatcher immediately, she would definitely be able to handle it in a short time. Of course, because she was too Being an introvert makes it difficult to interact with strangers, but it won’t be a big problem if you just communicate through messages (ω).
So the girl immediately realized the importance of this matter...
You must know that our biggest advantage now is that those mutants have no brains and only have instincts. With those characteristics and rules, in local battles, even if the combined force is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity, it has a sufficient chance of winning.
But what if the rules change?
No matter how strong Mo Tan’s overall view is and how effective his tactics are, he may not be able to save the situation in the event of a major accident. During the battle at Hind Hill, those mutants lingering in the distance Not many, but if we encounter the same situation again, will it just be an accident of a dozen?
The deeper you go into the southern border, the greater the number of mutants will be. If you cannot discover the problem in time and improve your combat ideas, the consequences will be disastrous...
You really have to ask Yu Ying about this, although She was not present at the time, but those players who went to Mo Tan to negotiate without success would definitely notify this eldest sister as soon as possible. As for Yu Chen, she has also mentioned it before, because Mo Tan has been hiding her players intentionally or unintentionally. identity, so those friends who don't know the truth will naturally not give priority to Her Royal Highness the Saint.
"I really understand the specific situation. I originally wanted to say it before, but I forgot about it after I heard that you were kidnapped by Luna and taken to warm the bed."
Yu Ying did not disappoint, she immediately insulted Mo Tan, then frowned and said: "Those are a dozen mutants wandering in the east of Hind Hill. We have confirmed it before the war, but because of the distance It was too far and the number of the reconnaissance team at the time was limited, so no eviction was arranged because of this situation. You had already considered it in advance, so everyone did not report it immediately, but went directly to the fourth set of procedures, preparing to solve them in the 'cleaning' session after the battle, but..." "Those mutants took the initiative. Found me.”
Mo Tan returned. Recalling what Luna had described to herself before, she pinched her forehead gently: "Although not a single person entered their 'hunting' range, they were still found, and then happened to be caught by two groups wandering around the edge of the battlefield. "Yi's reconnaissance team saw it, right?"
Yu Ying nodded slightly and took it. Yuchen took a satisfied sip of the tea handed over to him and said, "Huh, listen to what that person and that person said. At that time, those dozen zombies were rushing here like crazy, just like they had been squatting for thirty years. My brother looks like his new roommate with beautiful features!”
“Ahem!”
Yu Chen, who was pouring tea for Mo Tan, immediately choked on her saliva. She blushed and wrinkled her nose at Yu Ying, complaining without any intimidation: "This is not a good description..."
The latter chuckled, tugged on the long red scarf at the collar to cover his mouth and nose, and said a little guilty: "I'm just conveying the exact words, I don't understand the meaning of this sentence at all."
< br>"Maybe it's the brother who wants to use violence to conquer the new roommate with beautiful features."
Mo Tan took the cup handed over by Yu Chen, took a sip of hot tea and washed it at his pretty face with a slight blush. The reporter blinked: "Then he forced him to help him, which means that those mutants were just as desperate as the prisoners who were running towards hope."
Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked blankly. One sentence: "Can it still be explained like this?"
Yuying narrowly nudged the former with her elbow, and laughed softly: "How did you understand it originally?"
"Ahem, stop making trouble and continue talking about business."
< br>Jian Yuchen has drooped like an ostrich Mocking his head, Mo Tan immediately changed the topic back to the right track and asked in a deep voice: "Then what? Did you find anything special?"
Yu Ying nodded slightly, frowned and said, "There really is. At that time, one of the two teams The mutants were less than fifteen meters away, but they were not attacked, or were ignored. One of them was particularly brave, a ranger girl named Robin Weld, who even shot at one of the mutants. An arrow hit the chrysanthemum, but those monsters still had no intention of looking back, and just ran all the way to the Hin Deer Hill."
[There are no 'death dust' within fifteen meters. The living people were not attracted...】
[He didn’t look back when he was attacked, let alone fight back...]
Mo Tan sat cross-legged on the ground, taking a sip of the astringent yet sweet Esgarro black tea, his right hand hanging unconsciously by his side. He tapped the wooden board lightly and fell into deep thought.
For some irresistible reasons, Mo Tan is a person who knows very well what he can and cannot do, and when he should do it. Perhaps when he is relaxed, he will be moved by someone's expression or words. His mind was agitated, but that didn't mean that he would also be disturbed by those chaotic thoughts when he was thinking about serious matters.
What's more, it is a very serious matter...
No matter how you think about it, the behavior of those mutants is too abnormal, and if this abnormality is not handled properly, it is very likely that The coalition forces will pay a heavy price someday in the future.
Half a minute later, Mo Tan raised his head and looked at Yu Ying: "Have you ever asked the two people in the reconnaissance team whether those mutants showed... um, a certain degree of intelligence? Even just a little bit."
"No, but I can ask now, they are already online."
Yu Ying shook her head, and then entered a daze mode of sending and receiving messages. After a while, her eyes Only then did he regain his clarity and shrugged: "One person didn't pay attention, but the girl named Robin Weld told me very confidently that those Zombies should still be brainless. Their actions are exactly the same as when they find prey under normal circumstances. They are still desperate. The ground screamed and rushed forward without any logic. The only difference was that they, who would usually be included in the category of 'prey', were ignored, as if they were sprinkled with death dust that could obscure the living breath. Same, um, that girl is pretty reliable."
"Is it some kind of mutation? Just like when they first appeared?"
Yu Chen blew the steaming black tea. , and whispered his guess: "Well... the recipe has changed or something?"
Mo Tan shook his head slightly and said softly: "It shouldn't be. Those mutants come from several villages west of Hind Hill. They have nothing in common with each other. And if it is really like what you said, then the mutants who have changed will There can't be only a dozen, but..."
[Wait a minute! 】
His pupils suddenly shrank, and then he turned sharply to Yu Ying: "What happened to those mutants in the end?"
The latter also became nervous by him and hesitated. He put on a playful smile and replied seriously: "They are all dead, not a single one is left."
"What's the cause of death?"
"He rushed into the attack range of the mobile alchemy workshop and was directly blown to pieces by Luna's indiscriminate AOE."
"When is the approximate time?"
"Wait a moment... ...Well, Robin Weld said the system time was around eleven-ten. She checked the time once and the error should be no more than five minutes."
"About eleven-ten. Well,..."
Mo Tan stood up, and just as he was about to say something, he found that Yu Chen had handed over the detailed map of Misha County that was packed in her luggage.
"Thank you."
Mo Tan smiled, unfolded the map flatly in the center of the carriage, then half-knelt in front of the map and frowned, looking down at the small piece marked with the female deer hill. There is a simple step-by-step diagram he drew not long ago.
The two people next to him did not disturb him, but waited silently and nervously. They knew what Mo Tan had discovered, and they should be confirming some speculations at this moment...
Five minutes later
Mo Tan picked up the map, stood up silently, and said solemnly: "The problem was not just the dozen mutants, but the ones who were in the Hind Hill at that time. All mutants!”
"What?"
Yu Ying was panicked at that time and quickly urged: "Speak more clearly!"
Yuchen also looked at him uneasily.
"To put it simply...because of some unknown change, they all gave up the prey in front of them at the same time and went straight to this place!"
Mo Tan pointed at the female Somewhere north of Luqiu, I narrowed my eyes slightly...
"Our weakest rear."
