Chapter 24: (5) THE ROAD TO THE HUNTER (7)

After a few small turns, the number of blue pansies began to increase. Familiar magnolias were piled up in the corners of the trees. There were fewer and fewer vine-like plants. It was replaced by a thick bark tree, and the blossoming four-leaf clover blades on it evoke the memory of Zuo Ci and Nolan. They said almost in unison: "It's getting more and more similar."

After the words fell, they looked at each other and nodded.

Nolan confirmed his thoughts again: "Aren't these plants all growing outside the glass walls of the simulation center? The game producer really created all the strange plants that are scientifically cultivated in reality into the game?"

"Could it be to create a more realistic effect?" Zuo Ci was also not sure, so he asked back.

At this time, the rustling sound started again, getting closer and closer, from all directions. The two immediately returned to the back-to-back alert state, pricking up their ears to identify the enemy's position.

"Where is it? Where is the enemy..." Nolan murmured before he was choked by the scene in front of him, because what appeared this time was no longer a fish-headed monster, but a lot of monsters. The fish head monster—maybe the one that was injured before attracted its brothers and sisters, or maybe they broke into the restricted area unknowingly, no matter what, the current situation is that there are more than ten or twenty monsters surrounding it , has surrounded them.

"This... Is it just skipping the novice level and going to the difficult point of the game?... Damn, which stupid designer designed this illogical game?" Nolan was a little dazed by the scene in front of him. His eyes widened, and he was talking to himself while looking for a starting point.

"If each of these fish-head monsters is as difficult to fight as the previous one, we should not be able to defeat them." Zuo Ci judged calmly and suggested, "Nolan, let's find a retreat."

"Okay..." Nora nodded, "But... Don't run the same way, let's find a new way to run?"

"Um."

The two successfully reached an agreement and began to concentrate on finding a way out of this level.

"I can accept all kinds of incongruous old stage theaters, Japanese-style Zen meditation centers and other places in this training center. However, the VIP card of the game 'Continent of the Brave' appears? Isn't it a bit exaggerated, a bit outrageous?" When Witt said the words exaggerated and outrageous, he also put on an exaggerated posture covering his head.

"You're right. If you want to know what's going on, the easiest way is to talk to the organizer." Clear Sky, who had been fluctuating a lot in his heart, restrained his calm appearance on the surface.

"The organizer? There are no organizers here." Witt scratched his red hair.

"Isn't there still Lincoln?" Qingkong said, and walked out of the Zen room first.

The goal is considered to be, find Lincoln.

But when the two walked out of the meditation center, they couldn't think of Lincoln's specific location. From the very beginning when they walked into the training center, although Lincoln would always accompany and provide help, he didn't say where his room was. Or where is the area where you often move.

"Did Lincoln say where his room was?"

Qingkong reconfirmed with Witt, but only got a helpless expression with his hands spread out. He checked the training center map downloaded in the bracelet, and there was no relevant mark.

It seems that only human flesh can be found. Qing Kong sighed, and explained to Witt: "Now we have a new mission - to find Lincoln. For the sake of efficiency, let's search separately. We will gather at the door of Xu Mo's room at ten o'clock later. When we arrive See."

In Nolan's eyes, the pistol given by the system was simply a waste product! Scrap! ! Scrap! ! ! ——She has cursed the producer of this game more than a thousand times in her mind—with her superb shooting skills, the bullets hit the target monster's body, but she can only knock it back a few steps, but cannot achieve a real blow kill. The two had no choice but to dodge left and right while shooting, while stepping back as far as possible to the same side.

"Don't stay too far away from me!" Before Zuo Ci finished speaking, a monster rushed over from the front. The direction of the attack was too straight, and the reaction time of the two of them was too short, so they dodged to the sides again.

Impossible without weaknesses? ! — Nolan knelt on the ground, and then rolled one after another to avoid the claw attack of one monster, but not the flying impact of the other. He was hit by a tree trunk on one side, and his chest hurt. "The feeling of being hurt is too realistic!" She immediately yelled.

"Nolan! Are you alright?!" Seeing this, Zuo Ci, who was still shooting and dodging among the monsters, immediately called out to the girl with concern. When he hit it, he was knocked down all at once! The gun in his hand also flew several meters away... At this moment, Zuo Ci felt that he was not far from GameOver, so he shouted at Nolan with the last bit of strength: "Go around and run behind the tree! Run!!"

As soon as Zuo Ci's words fell, he was submerged under the attack of a group of monsters, and his blood splashed out. Nolan felt very sad when he saw it, but he had no choice but to listen to his suggestion and ran behind the tree.

run! Run like hell! ! —Although I know this is just a game, this too real sense has fully stimulated Nolan's fear. Now, she doesn't care what game or not, she just doesn't want to die too badly, she just wants to find a safe place to catch her breath. The trees on both sides flashed past her eyes quickly, and her footsteps stepped on the iris, on the thick leaves, and on the black-gray land, and the light spots from the gaps in the leaves became more and more dense , until she came to a bright area, she suddenly saw the exterior wall of an old circular building covered with moss, and this style was familiar again.

Before he had time to think about it, there was another rustling sound behind him. Nolan knew that those monsters must be chasing him, so he immediately started to run forward—after playing so many games, Nolan naturally understood that since he had seen Buildings, prove that you are not far from the next level, you have to find the entrance of the house quickly!

His mind was still spinning, and his footsteps were already running towards the building. When he was about to approach the wall of the building, there was a strong fishy smell coming from behind. The two fish-headed monsters were about to catch up to the girl's footsteps in a few steps - their running speed was much faster than normal humans, it wasn't because Zuo Ci's sacrifice just now bought Nolan time, she probably had Game Over already.

Nolan hurriedly made a turn around the other side of the building, and a glass wall immediately appeared in front of him.

Looking in through the glass, she saw rows of BrainStation helmets placed on yoga mats. In the corner of this huge square, she also clearly saw two people wearing helmets lying on the mats. Isn’t that exactly Zuo Ci? with herself? ! What's more, she saw Zuo Ci slowly sitting up from the floor, trying to take off the helmet on his head...

This... This is the simulation center of the real world? !

Before she had time to think about it, the two monsters had already chased her up. She felt a murderous aura, one lowered her head and dodged, and the two monsters slammed into the glass wall one after the other, making a loud "bang bang", and Leaving two cobweb-like cracks on the glass.

This time he escaped by luck, but the second time he was not so lucky. When two monsters surrounded him from left to right, Nolan finally closed his eyes helplessly...

For a while, the world was spinning, and in the darkness, a ring of light was spinning, spinning, getting bigger and bigger, accompanied by a call—

"Nolan, wake up! Wake up!"

-

Stretching from pain all over his body, Nolan took off his helmet, and saw Zuo Ci's concerned expression at a glance.

"Are we back?" She was still lying on her back and asked in a weak voice.

"Well, we're back."

"Why is this game so perverted?!" After receiving this confirmation, Nolan immediately cheered himself up in a high-pitched voice, trying to get up while cursing, "It's impossible How to play!"

Unexpectedly, Zuo Ci suddenly pressed her shoulder, exhaled, and said to her: "No matter what you see, don't be surprised or panic, promise me."

Nolan nodded without knowing why, and then Zuo Ci slowly moved his hands away, allowing her to sit up.

At this time, Nolan finally understood the deep meaning of Zuo Ci's words... because she saw two spider web-like cracks on the glass wall in front of her, which were similar to the two glass cracks she had just seen and experienced in the game. Cracks—exactly the same.

I searched the entire hunter training center, and asked about Lincoln's whereabouts, but no one could tell why. Lincoln seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he couldn't even find a shadow.

The time soon came to 10:00 p.m., and Qingkong arrived at the door of Xumo's 018 room on time to meet up. Witt, Zuoci and Nolan were already in place, except for Xumo.

"Xu Mo hasn't come back yet?" Qing Kong came over and asked, then locked his eyes on Witt, and asked, "Did you find Lincoln?"

Witt showed his status with the gesture of spreading his hands many times today.

Nolan clasped his hands together and apologized for his brother: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xu Mo is usually the most punctual, this time there must be some irresistible accident."

"It's okay, this place is quite strange, any unexpected situation is possible, let's wait."

Just as Qingkong was speaking, Xu Mo appeared from a corner not far away. As he trotted over, he expressed his apology: "I'm sorry, I'm late. I just entered a casino. The rule is 'lose it all or double it', so..."

"So you've lost all your money, or have you won a lot?" Witt interjected, yelling, before he could finish.
