Feeling the popularity, the ostrich on the mount unconsciously showed excitement, flapped its purely cute wings a few times, unknowingly accelerated the running speed, sprinted 500 meters with all its strength, and rushed into a hot spot In the mining area where the bang is in operation.
The center of the entire line of sight is a huge circular mine hole dug into the ground. The diameter of the hole is about 300 meters, and the surrounding edges are covered with various lifting machines. The net box body, in conjunction with the roar of machinery working below and the sound of manual digging, makes a sound of soundtrack.
And those "miners" are not real human beings at first glance. Although most of them wear human-shaped skins, their bodies are always damaged. Some have only half a face, and some are missing a waist. The machine parts in operation, from which it can be seen that their real identity is the engineered body, not the biological life.
Seeing this noisy working scene, Zuo Ci was a little worried at first whether there was a hotel place where he could rest. After looking around for a week, he still found a stone house with a hotel signboard in the distance on the higher slope, and immediately drove his mount around the rumbling work site, towards the target on the higher slope. run.
-
Soon after arriving at the hotel entrance, the mount walked obediently to the direction of the stables as usual, while Zuo Ci stepped into the desolate and dim stone house of the hotel, which contrasted strongly with the sweltering heat of the workplace downhill.
In the lobby on the first floor of Nuo Da, there are only four or five small light bulbs hanging on thin light wires, shaking constantly with the roaring noise outside, and one of them flickers on and off. The stairs leading to the second floor are set on the left hand side, and the reception counter is set on the right side of the lobby. There are more than a dozen tables scattered in the rest of the place, and only one sits with two people drinking silently.
Zuo Ci walked towards the counter without looking sideways, and said to the black and thin boss with huge dark circles standing behind the counter: "Stay here." Then he put his hand on the return stone to register.
"Are you new here? It's best to have a companion when you venture around here. After all, it's not Xinshou Village, and the outside of Xinshou Village is dangerous." The boss looked him up and down, and said in a low voice. advice.
The reminder of the system character was so natural that Zuo Ci felt good about it, so he asked casually: "It's really noisy here, does the sound of mining outside not stop all day and all night?"
"Yes, the miners here are all robots made by Steel Fortress. They can work without stopping, so there is no need to stop work. Do you find it noisy? You will get used to it after staying for a long time-staying for a long time, even the The rhythm of the bed vibrating due to the roar can be imagined as a lullaby." After speaking, the boss laughed a few times to himself.
[Unable to agree. ] Lightly raising his eyebrows, Zuo Ci decided to go back to his room early to rest, and was going to leave this noisy mine early tomorrow morning, and go to the surrounding area to concentrate on fighting monsters and upgrading.
But when he turned his head, he saw two people sitting quietly at a table not far away staring at him in unison.
These two men have the same characteristics as the little Gary boy character I saw earlier. Part of the body is made of machinery, and the two legs of one are made of steel into a slightly bent shape like a beast. One is only the part of the right hand holding the wine glass below the wrist is made of steel.
"So it's a dog from the Sarleon Guild?" The man with the steel wrist taunted loudly in an unfriendly tone.
Zuo Ci finally knew that the place they were staring at just now must be the guild tattoo on his right arm.
[Adding a guild is really troublesome, how hated is this Sarleon guild. ] Zuo Ci sighed calmly, [Looks like I have to find some equipment to cover the tattoo on my arm later, so as not to fight everywhere. ]
However, people are within the safe area at this time. According to Zuo Ci's understanding, even if there is a killing intent, it is not good for them to do it here, so as not to increase the area's hatred value and attract NPC interference.
[Just pretend to be indifferent and avoid it, and stay vigilant when going in and out later. ] Zuo Ci thought so, and did the same. He moved his eyes away, and walked resolutely towards the left staircase...
Then, this time, it seemed that Zuo Ci was really wrong.
The man made of steel in his hand almost reorganized the steel in his right hand into a pistol without any hesitation, and he punched Zuo Ci violently. The man made made use of his steel leg strength, lifted the table, jumped up and came to Zuo Ci, pulled out the Congo ax behind his back with lightning speed, and slashed at Zuo Ci's body heavily—
The world was suddenly blurred and dizzy. Before everything went into the darkness, Zuo Ci seemed to hear the two people's spurned words - "The running dogs of the Bachelor's Society are only worthy of struggling to survive in hell..."
-
Although it was not the first time that he was bullied by multiple high-level characters, but the feeling of being killed for the first time in the game was very uncomfortable. Zuo Ci opened his eyes and looked at this windy and sandy black-and-white world, frowning, without hesitation. walk forward.
Walking along the long passage in the shape of a giant dragon skeleton, Zuo Ci walked briskly at first, and then ran for a while. Zuo Ci saw a figure in front of him, walking briskly in the same direction.
Zuo Ci quickened his pace and soon came to a position parallel to her.
Passers-by turned their heads and glanced at him. It was a tall female mage character with pointed ears. Seeing Zuo Ci, she forcefully squeezed out a smile as a greeting, and then quickly turned her face to the position facing the front.
[Hello. ] Zuo Ci wanted to say hello and ask him some knowledge about resurrection... At this time, he realized that he was silent, and all the sounds turned into chaotic buzzing in his ears.
[It turns out that in hell mode, language communication is not possible. ] Zuo Ci also turned around helplessly, and continued to run forward.
As the route progressed, more and more figures were seen, and the road of bones became narrower and narrower. Finally, Zuo Ci finally saw a neatly lined queue, slowly moving towards a bright light, as if the exit That's it.
Without thinking too much, I immediately joined the queue. Since we couldn't talk, everyone had to move towards the bright direction step by step like a machine in this black and white world. The inexplicable and neat pace is like the objects on the factory conveyor belt, lifeless and at the mercy of others.
After walking slowly for an unknown amount of time, Zuo Ci finally came to a passage that could only be used by one person. He walked in following the steps of the former. The stone walls on both sides held up to the sky. Looking up, there was no end to it, as if spreading and sinking into the darkness.
At the other end of the narrow passage, there is light, dazzlingly bright, as if heaven is at the end...
After passing through the long and narrow passage facing the light, there is a huge circular room, and the infinite height of the zenith cannot be seen when looking up. There are four huge pillars in the room, all of which are wrapped with thick chains. On the other side of the round hall is an open door, and all the light shines from the other end of the door.
Needless to say, this is the so-called Rashomon, and the exit from hell is at hand.
Zuo Ci walked towards the light without hesitation. The further he walked, the color of the light became brighter, and he began to see various light colors such as light yellow, light blue, light green, and light red. He didn't stop, he kept walking, until the colored light started to spin, and the spinning made the mind dizzy, dizzy...
-
When I opened my eyes again, there was a rotten smell of land in my nose, and there were a few gleams of moonlight in the dark field of vision in front of my eyes. Zuo Ci frowned, and with all his strength, the coffin board covering his body was lifted away, and he got up from the newly dug grave.
[Damn. ] Zuo Ci once again recalled the appearance of the two characters who killed him in his heart, and secretly made up his mind to take revenge with his own hands one day in the future.
Yes, whether it was Shura and Ghost Fox from the Blood Raven Organization, the two passers-by in Gray Stone Forest, or the two half-human, half-machine characters who just killed him, all of them have been deeply recorded in Zuo Ci's memory. In my mind, I will never let it go! — He couldn't help biting his lower lip.
