Mo Xiaoyao felt that the battle was getting more and more difficult, especially when the zombie pattern jumped from 4/8 to 6/8, she felt this problem more clearly.
"There are still two waves of zombies." Jiang Yan sat back to back with Mo Xiaoyao exhaustedly, with his head still pointing towards the vegetable field cordon, "Gritting his teeth and making it through."
Mo Xiaoyao didn't speak, her complexion was not so good-looking, and the excessive use of her brain deepened her mental fatigue. Other people are not much better, in addition to physical exhaustion, the spirit is indeed unable to support.
From the beginning to the present, almost 6 hours have passed. As far as the mental workers are concerned, none of the people present are geniuses. The time in a daze is getting longer and longer, and the energy output is getting less and less.
It’s not that if you are in a daze, your brain will not be active at all, but that the activity has not reached the critical point for the brain to generate energy—just like what Yue Yin said about humming the brainwashing divine song, if you can monitor the brain waves at this time, Fluctuations are seen, but not enough to generate any energy.
To put it simply, the overall energy yield is declining now, and the output is about half less than the peak period. However, the number and intensity of zombies have risen by more than one class, making the battle more and more difficult to fight, and injuries also occur from time to time.
Fortunately, no one has been bitten so far. With the help of Rainbow Candy and Meng Danqiu's sugar skin skills, the wounds healed are fairly fast, and the pain is pain, but it has not affected the combat effectiveness.
But going on like this is not the solution.
Mo Xiaoyao looked back, the room was terribly quiet, everyone's faces showed fatigue, it could be seen that they just wanted to rest, and they didn't want to continue this exhausting and brain-tiring dungeon at all.
Just before the estimated rest time was about to end, the sound of the system suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, making Daji instantly refreshed.
[The seventh zombie attack is about to start, trigger the side task of the defender: I don't want a bigger one!
Mission brief introduction: The assistants of Dr. Zombie's laboratory, according to the experimental records it left behind, successfully cultivated a super-large zombie with great lethality. It not only desires human brains, but also longs for delicious human meat. , the harm caused will be enormous.
Task requirements: sneak into the zombie training base and destroy the super large zombie training cabin.
Task reward: The cultivation of super-large zombies failed, and the difficulty of the eighth wave of zombies has been greatly reduced.
Extra task: Destroy the rest of the zombie training cabins.
Additional bonus: The difficulty of the seventh wave of zombie attacks has been reduced.
Whether to accept
After the 60-second countdown ends, it will give up by default.]
"What should I do?" Jiang Yan stood up, glanced at his companions in the room, and said in a deep voice. "I think it must be the next step. We may not be able to beat this super-large zombie at all."
"Even if we can beat it, it's useless. We probably won't be able to handle the seventh wave of zombies alone." Mo Xiaoyao said, pointing out the fact that everyone is exhausted, "These zombies need plants to destroy them. Hitting is just a repelling effect, but if the brain keeps spinning for too long, it will not provide much effective energy, and the plants will not be able to keep up, so the speed of hitting will become slower and slower-under a vicious circle, sooner or later it will be impossible to hold on. "
Tian Tian was thoughtful: "Then this is our only chance?"
Mo Xiaoyao nodded: "I have been thinking about the strength of our two sides. And, when we are trying to repel the zombies, what are they doing?"
Mi Wei interrupted: "Could it be that they also use their brains to generate energy to increase the number of zombies?"
"Maybe, but I don't think so." Mo Xiaoyao glanced up at his companions and asked, "Did any of you notice? Ever since we killed the sneak attackers three times, the increase in the types of zombies has slowed down?"
Most of the people shook their heads honestly. They were only focused on repelling zombies or attracting monsters to fight plants. How could they remember if there were any new species? Even if they did, some people directly explained in the headset that they didn't have that autonomy at all. Awareness of discovery.
Only Jiang Yan showed a thoughtful expression. After all, he was in charge of the overall situation at the beginning, but he participated in the battle because there were too many zombies and not enough manpower.
"You mean to say that they control the types of zombies? Since we lost 3 hands, the types added in the later period will not be as frequent as in the beginning?"
Mo Xiaoyao nodded: "It's just a guess. But I don't understand, what is their criteria for selecting people—the countdown is almost over, let's vote first?"
The few whose brains were still stubbornly glowing knew that they had to accept this side quest. The brains seemed to be down, and the few who hadn't moved for a long time, under the confidence of "don't be cowardly, just do it", thought that it was okay to accept it or not, anyway, just do it.
In the end, after the vote, Jiang Yan, on behalf of everyone, said "We accept the side mission" to the system, and immediately proceeded to the next step.
[Start the side mission: I don't want a bigger one!
Participants will be randomly selected from the defender survivors…
…
Randomly drawn.
Mo Xiaoyao. music. Xie Fei.
The above 3 people were assigned as the executors of this side mission, their brains have returned to their bodies, and they will not be obliterated if they leave their own area.
Have a nice game.]
The three selected people looked at each other in blank dismay, especially Xie Fei, who was seriously injured before and had just recovered, showed a weak, pitiful, and helpless look.
Jiang Yan frowned, looked at Xie Fei, then at Leyin, and finally set his eyes on Mo Xiaoyao: "Can it work?"
Mo Xiaoyao: "... If it's okay, I have to go, who made us all lucky non-chiefs."
Leyin raised her hand: "I'm not lucky E, I've always been lucky."
Mo Xiaoyao didn't want to talk to his companion, and showed him his fangs that didn't exist.
"Don't waste time." Jiang Yan looked up at the group of zombies that had already spawned outside the cordon, and asked again, "Do you know how to get there? Do you want everyone to help us to make a way out first?"
"No need." As Mo Xiaoyao was speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared into the air, and only her voice and a strangely shaped plant was suddenly dented nearby, "We have the ability of invisibility, let's go I guess, even if the side quests don't have a time limit, if we haven't finished before wave 8—"
Mo Xiaoyao didn't say the following words, because he didn't want to hurt morale, although everyone understood.
The three people selected by the side mission seemed to be able to see each other, so under the leadership of Mo Xiaoyao, they left their own area along the edge of the vegetable field. Suddenly it was different.
This is an abandoned road, not too wide, it looks like four lanes. Many rusty and abandoned vehicles just parked quietly on the road, some were smashed by something unknown, and the parts were scattered all over the place. Occasionally, some screws were turned a few times by the night wind, and then stopped , even more lonely.
As usual, the sky is foggy, like the settings of many horror movies. Anyway, it is the feeling that the more you watch, the more flustered you become. It makes people wish they could break through the fog to reveal the stars, the moon or the sun, so that they can breathe comfortably.
But it's just thinking about it. That kind of fog makes people not even have the courage to reach out. Even if they know that the sky is thousands of miles away from them, they still feel palpitations.
On both sides of the road, there are forests full of cedar and pine trees, which can't see any light. On the top of each tree, there is an unidentifiable bird parked, which is also dark, but the two eyes are shining dark red, staring at this side, and the eyes follow Mo Xiaoyao and others. The movement is turning, quite creepy.
Not all the street lights were on, about every 3 or 4 lights, there would be a good, silver-white light shining down, illuminating the way forward for Mo Xiaoyao and the others.
"Go forward." Mo Xiaoyao said, his voice was very soft and hoarse due to excessive fatigue, "There is no way to go, I guess the task will not be completed, and we will not be able to come back."
Leyin had subconsciously obeyed Mo Xiaoyao, so naturally she would not have any objections. And Xie Fei sticks to his duty as a rookie, insists on his identity as a leg pendant, and follows closely.
Along the way, it was very quiet, no wind, no birds, no insects, nothing but the breathing and footsteps of the three of them. The more this is the case, the more disturbing it is, and there is always a feeling that something will suddenly come out.
"you-"
"Awwhhhh!!!"
Jiang Yan almost pulled the headset off his head and threw it away, he didn't understand, why did he attract such a big commotion because he just wanted to ask a question.
On the other side, Xie Fei was completely hung up on Leyin. Mo Xiaoyao suspected that if Leyin hadn't eaten enough fortune cookies to strengthen his physique, he would have been thrown down by him long ago. How could he still stand so firmly.
Leyin stretched out her hand subconsciously, supported Xie Fei's two thighs wrapped around her body, and looked at Mo Xiaoyao blankly: ... What's going on with this dude? what happened
Xie Fei was about to cry, and he felt that the character set of the man who had fought so hard before had completely collapsed, and this little secret that he had hidden very well was all shaken out, how can he see people in the future! !
Mo Xiaoyao raised his forehead, and immediately guessed the reason: "...you come down first, it was Jiang Yan who spoke just now, not a ghost."
Xie Fei gave an aggrieved "oh", then blushed and let go of the music, and stood back on the ground again.
"It's fine here, just focus on that side, don't disturb our work." Mo Xiaoyao first explained to Jiang Yan, and then said to the two: "Hurry up and run."
Xie Fei felt that his image might be salvageable, so he explained while running: "I'm not afraid of zombies and other physical monsters, but I'm a little scared of illusory things. Really, trust me."
Mo Xiaoyao didn't even turn his head. He stared at a lighted two-story villa at the end of the road ahead, and said, "I don't care what you are afraid of. When you act later, it's best to keep you under control." mouth, or seal it now, so as not to be able to hold back and spoil the plan."
"Understood." Xie Fei thought for a while, took off the headset, hung it around his neck like that, and said to Mo Xiaoyao, "When we move separately, I will put it on again so that I won't be disturbed. "
Mo Xiaoyao just glanced at him, didn't speak, just nodded. Soon, the three of them ran to the front of the villa. When they could see the gate, they activated the task skills given by the system again, concealed their figures in the air, and sneaked into the courtyard of the villa without anyone noticing. inside.
