Chapter 315: Persecution and Departure
After driving away the players who coveted the resources of the expedition team, Wang Zhifan did not immediately return to the alien building that the scientists were investigating. His powerful perception let him know that this matter was not In the end, those hiding in the shadows are likely to be up to no good.
“The player just now is a gunner. I don’t care if he uses black guns, but the NPCs I want to protect are difficult to withstand, so they have to get back to the inspection vehicle as soon as possible.”
After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan drove the research vehicle to the door of the alien building, not giving others a chance to launch a sneak attack when the scientists got on the vehicle. Then he secretly arranged for a clone of himself to track the surrounding people. Players, control the whereabouts of suspicious characters nearby.
About three hours later, inside the alien building, Jessica and other scientific researchers were still busy.
"The suspended technology of these disk floors can definitely be of the anti-gravity type, but their technical routes are completely different from what we currently have, and are of great research value."
When Jessica saw Wang Zhifan approaching at this moment, she She turned her head and said to him with an excited expression. At the same time, she did not forget to hold a big pen and write and draw on a small notebook, filling it with various lines and symbols.
"Congratulations on discovering a good research project."
Wang Zhifan knew that she was in high spirits, so he congratulated her first, and then started to remind them of a very important thing:
“It’s getting late and it’s getting dark outside. For the sake of safety, I suggest you return to the research vehicle to rest and wait until daybreak before continuing your research.”
Jessica frowned immediately when she heard what he said, looking quite unhappy.
"Why do you have to go back to the car? It's very safe here. Even if it gets dark, it won't affect our work. We have plenty of light sources."
She didn't understand what Wang Zhifan said. The logic behind his words was as if he just found a reason to let them leave.
“Because it will become unsafe here soon. If you don’t believe it, you can take a look at the situation outside before it is completely dark, and you will understand immediately.”
Wang Zhifan said After that, he turned around and left, gesturing for her to follow.
A minute later, Jessica walked through the interior of the huge building and came to the exit. She saw that Wang Zhifan had parked the inspection vehicle at the door, and twelve clone soldiers were also guarding here.
When she looked beyond them and looked outside, she found that the alien sky had become dim, and in the dim surrounding sky, she could see large areas of unknown creatures flying past, and on the surrounding ground The same is true, there are many more alien creatures or machines wandering around.
The ones very close to the door had been shot dead by the guards, leaving behind a large pile of debris.
“Great! Captain Wang, we don’t have to worry about not being able to catch moving samples for research!”
Unexpectedly, this female scientist didn’t change her mind when she saw the messy situation outside. Nervous, but with an expression like "Why didn't you tell me earlier about such a good thing?"
"I know your research is very important, but it can only be completed if people are alive. You see, there are going to be riots outside now. Not to mention when it gets dark, not only will we not be able to stop the invasion of monsters outside, we will also be unable to stop them from invading." I don’t care about the monsters in this building either.”
Wang Zhifan said that he turned back and pointed to the top of the building where they were standing for the female scientist. There, some slender biological limbs that did not exist when they first entered had been hanging down for dozens of meters, like black strips. tentacles, but they were ignored by these enthusiastic researchers.
“I’m sure there was no such thing up there ten minutes ago!”
Jessica couldn’t help but exclaimed when she saw this strange scene. It was not that she had not observed the inside of this alien building. The top, but it had been covered by suspended disks before, and there was no such long thing at all.
"So it's time to leave, Captain Jessica. It will be bad if we don't leave. The night here is destined to be uneventful."
Wang Zhifan struck while the iron was hot. He said these words to express the criticality of the situation and let these people who are obsessed with research know what the priorities are.
"I will ask everyone to pack up the samples and leave."
The female scientist with blond hair and blue eyes is not a stubborn character. She quickly ran towards her other colleagues, one by one. Inform them of next steps.
“Fortunately, she should be able to persuade the other people here, then what I need to complete is to eliminate other threats nearby.”
Wang Zhifan is quite satisfied with Jessica’s cooperation , turned around and looked at the door of the building.
In the area he scanned, he could find bugs or cone-shaped machines that had been cleaned up by the clone guards, but he was not focusing on these at the moment, but looking at a slightly floating shadow in the air. .
This shadow is not really a shadow, but an invisible existence captured by his powerful perception. The opponent has been staying in that open space for a few seconds, but has never made the next move.
"It shouldn't be a player, but an invisible prop like a puppet or a clone."
With Wang Zhifan's character, if any player dares to sneak around him, he will definitely be serious He punches out, but this kind of manipulated prop is different. He needs to consider whether to use it and let the opponent follow the clues.
“Forget it, my copy is definitely different from theirs, so I won’t waste time anymore, just give them a warning.”
After thinking for a while, Wang Zhifan gave up the idea of tracking the past, mainly because he didn't want to offend the players here too much. It would not be of much benefit to him, but would delay his personal mission.
So he then looked at the several clone soldiers around him, pointed them in the direction, and ordered them to shoot directly.
"Fire! Attack in the direction I indicated!"
In an instant, following Wang Zhifan's instructions, the five clone soldiers released the power of their weapons, allowing several types of rays and lasers to penetrate After seeing through the invisible target, Wang Zhifan quickly sensed that the target had suffered considerable damage, and fled away in the blink of an eye, fleeing into the distance.
"High-end firearms are easy to use. If they were all live ammunition, they probably wouldn't be able to damage that thing."
This scene also confirmed a fact for Wang Zhifan, that is, the firepower of the clone soldiers he led was quite good. They could even destroy player puppets that he strongly suspected did not take physical damage. Perhaps it was related to the gradually rioting outside. You don’t necessarily lose in a battle with star monsters.
But for the sake of stability, he could not choose to take this risk, and there was no other way to save time and energy.
After Wang Zhifan commanded his men to repel the invisible entity, almost at the same time, in an underground space a thousand meters away from the building, a young man wearing a robe and sitting cross-legged on the ground opened his eyes.
"He discovered the spirit body I sent there...and the NPC weapons around him were quite weird and could actually cause damage to the spirit body. I had no choice but to retreat."
Others. As soon as the person exited the meditative state before, he said to the two companions standing guard next to him, and who were the gunners and assassins who discovered Wang Zhifan's team earlier?
"I've known for a long time that his perception is very strong, but he didn't hit your spirit body himself? Did he just ask the NPCs to do it?"
The sniper in his hand has been stored in the portable space. The Gunner player asked immediately, with a playful look in his eyes. "Yes, I judge that he may be a summoning player, and his combat power is not very strong. The soldiers he controls all look the same. This is evidence."
Mage Youth Then he answered and told one of his speculations.
"That's good. When it gets light tomorrow morning, I will find an opportunity to kill him with one shot, but the premise is that he can withstand all the tests tonight."
The Gunner player continued to speak eagerly, his eyes flashing with an emotion that could be understood as waiting for a good show.
"Come on, I don't believe you dare to take this risk and enter the punishment level."
The young mage shook his head after hearing this.
“But we can’t deal with them directly. We can do something indirect, such as bringing the thing that chased us for a long time the other day here to play with them.”
He said He glanced at the two companions in front of him and saw their eyes brightening.
"Yes! That thing is very difficult to deal with. We can't just let us suffer this loss!"
The assassin player couldn't help but clapped his hands as he spoke, seeming impatient.
The gunner player on the side couldn't help but nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face.
“Another advantage of attracting that thing is that other players around us will not dare to come here. This will reduce our competitive pressure and allow us to exclusively enjoy these resources.”
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.
"But who is going to lure that thing? Don't just count on me, I don't have that ability."
The assassin player's face became a little serious at this time. Generally speaking, his profession is the most flexible and has the strongest escape ability. It was very suitable for attracting monsters, but the thing they were referring to was not simple. He did not have the confidence to handle the entire process alone, or was unwilling to take these risks alone.
“You must be the main force, but I will use my spirit body and spells to assist you at critical moments, and my old gun will shoot you from a distance to cover you.”
The mage young man seems to be very concerned about his companions. He had expected his displeasure and responded immediately, while the gunman on the side also nodded.
"Okay... Anyway, we are really short of things this time. If we don't work hard, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass this book."
Seeing that both companions had expressed their opinions, the assassin player stopped dawdling. They discussed a few details and prepared to leave this temporary hiding place and carry out various subsequent actions.
According to their experience with this dungeon, it would be safest to hide them at night. However, if they want to survive the current dungeon, they simply don’t have enough supplies and must find a way to replenish them.
The trick is that this dungeon does not lift the penalty level, which makes it difficult for them to take advantage of other players. They can only follow the dungeon plan to break through black towers to obtain rare resources.
But coincidentally, they have now discovered a group of NPCs with a large amount of supplies. Killing the NPCs will not trigger any punishment. If the player Wang Zhifan hadn't been blocking them, they would have killed them at all costs. , for fear that other players will discover these sweet and savory things.
On the other side, outside the alien building, Wang Zhifan has asked his clone soldiers to completely protect the vicinity of the research vehicle, and constantly shoot and kill those who want to get close, whether they are from the sky or the ground. .
Facts have proved that his observations and inferences were very correct. After dark, various things on the surface of the planet became more and more violent, from wandering around to conscious collective attacks.
For example, some machines can fight in groups with living organisms, and some living organisms can attack another group of organisms of a different type in groups. However, their expedition team obviously does not belong to any local group, and they were discovered. All of their existence attacks.
"Don't worry about these samples of yours! There are too many of them! We can't take them away! Hurry up and get in the car!"
Wang Zhifan stood amid the muffled sound of rays and lasers being fired. Shouted to the black girl at the door of the building.
This woman is his biggest headache at the moment. She obviously found out that she was in danger and brought all the samples she found to the inspection vehicle. However, she is studying electronic machinery. She needs The samples were relatively heavy and she couldn't move them by herself, so she wanted Wang Zhifan to help her.
Wang Zhifan helped her once or twice and then stopped because the creatures on the top of the building behind him started to attack. His soldiers were busy dealing with the outside, so he had to deal with it himself and had no time to pay attention to such chores.
“No! I need them as research materials!”
But the black girl was still stubborn at this juncture, ignoring Wang Zhifan who was staring above with a machete, trying to kill several big ones bit by bit. A piece of mechanical material is dragged onto the vehicle.
“It’s not up to you!”
Wang Zhifan was furious when he saw this. When he saw that the guy was too soft, he immediately hit him hard. He activated the source of ice on the spot and knocked this guy unconscious. , and then while guarding against sneak attacks from tentacle creatures above, he slipped the woman out and stuffed her into the investigation vehicle.
"Jessica, Susie fainted from exhaustion and will wake up soon. Please contact the spacecraft as soon as possible. In this situation, it is safest to return to the spacecraft!"
Hurry up and get in the research vehicle! After taking the driver's seat, Wang Zhifan told Jessica that his original plan was to drive everyone to find a safe zone, but now it seems that the situation is not optimistic. It is risky to expect the inspection vehicle to withstand everything with its rough skin and thick flesh.
“I have contacted you, but the signal has been interfered with, and I have not received a response from the spacecraft so far.”
Jessica’s answer immediately made Wang Zhifan’s heart sink. He did not expect that This situation happened to happen, obviously their previous communication with the spacecraft was unimpeded.
“Don’t panic, there should be a problem with this place, we just need to leave quickly.”
At this point, Wang Zhifan first gave an optimistic conclusion, and then quickly gave orders to the clone soldiers outside who were responsible for the attack.
"Stop the attack! Everyone get on board!"
Currently, his men are concentrating on shooting all approaching alien beings. It is their meticulous execution of orders that makes the research vehicle possess the It was safe for a moment, but it was hard to tell later because the night was getting darker and darker.
