Apple: "… What a coincidence?"
Hong Guoguo said, "Have you installed surveillance cameras?"
Apple: "I am a good citizen of the Star Alliance and never do anything sneaky."
Everyone around fell into a brief silence until the two people joined the team one after another at the invitation of Tayunzhong, but they seemed to be nearby, and after they came online together, they appeared in front of everyone together.
Everyone: “…”
It's really hard not to think crookedly.
Su Mo came out of the laboratory quite late, and Lele had packed his luggage long ago. After returning home, he and Yu Zhen went out to a nearby restaurant for dinner. They were delayed for a while and almost missed the 8 o'clock dinner.
He and Yu Zhen came online at the same time, and when he saw Yu Zhen was in the Jackdaw Wasteland, he simply used a line to lead him over.
"One more person is missing. Kugua will be here soon." Tayunzhong quickly formed the team and gave other important instructions: "Considering the special nature of the event and the increased number of strange mechanisms in the first level. Everyone, remember to repair your equipment first and bring along the versatile items. They may be useful in the second level."
"Okay." Su Mo tilted his head and found that Hong Guoguo looked at him a little strangely, "What's wrong?"
Hong Guoguo had mixed feelings: "No, I'm just lamenting the reality."
Su Mo was puzzled: "Oh."
Hong Guoguo took a look, then glanced at Xingzhuo Jujue, feeling that life was full of coincidences.
The things have been explained almost, and Kugua has also come online. After gathering, everyone arrives at the event NPC, and the team leader Ta Yunzhong signs up to participate.
The member list is being checked, please confirm.
Confirmation completed, now reading [Wind and Rain Together] limited-time event, all players have been loaded, wish you all good luck, welcome to [Wind and Rain Together·Misty Forest]
The new scene was loaded, and all the players in the team entered the activity scene. As soon as Su Mo opened his eyes, he saw the foggy forest in front of him. The cold wind blew him back several steps. He looked up and saw the dark sky above, which seemed to be pressing down.
In the fog, he couldn't see his other teammates. The trees around him were all the same. The mini-map was completely dark, and only where he was was lit.
Welcome players to [Wind and Rain Together·Misty Forest]. The Misty Forest is filled with fog all year round and is full of dangers. Please stay vigilant.
Mission objective: You can clear the level by gathering with all teammates. There is no time limit for this level. The time it takes to clear the level will determine the player's reward. Since the player's team level is rated S++, a special minimum limit rule is set (no reward will be obtained if it exceeds 3 hours)
After the mastermind finished reading out the rules, the sound on the voice channel was completely released, and the whole scene seemed to come alive. Su Mo saw the position on the small map gradually light up, and blue dots representing teammates appeared.
"Why is it a forest? Didn't the forum say caves?"
"It seems to be a random map. We just happened to be in the mountains and forests."
"Damn, the wind is too strong."
Not only was the fog thick, but the wind in the mountains was also very strong, strong enough to blow people away. Ta Yunzhong immediately said to the team: "The environment is bad, everyone should determine their positions first, so that we can gather and find people."
Although there are small blue dots on the map, it is impossible to confirm which teammate these blue dots belong to. It is necessary to determine and arrange the current situation.
"But to be honest, isn't this level easy?" One Milk Two Thousand Five said, "There's a location on the map, can't we just follow the blue dot to find it?"
"This level is a speed race, right? The mastermind is actually a good person and there is no penalty. The lowest time is actually three hours. Isn't this a free point level?" Qingfeng felt relieved when he saw the coordinates on the small map.
Watermelon didn't think the mastermind was so kind, and said, "Why did it make the atmosphere so gloomy? I thought it was another horror movie theater."
Ta Yunzhong: "Don't take it lightly, let's gather first."
Su Mo looked at the skill bar, intending to use [One Line] to meet up with Yu Zhen, but suddenly found that the skill icon of One Line was locked, indicating a disabled state. Not only that, all the props in his package were locked. He had a bad feeling: "The props are disabled."
Upon hearing this, the players in the team immediately checked their props.
"Items are prohibited!?"
"Me too! Non-combat Oddities are disabled as well!"
"I packed a bag of props, and now you tell me I can't use them, isn't that playing a trick on me?"
"I'm convinced. What should I do?"
Su Mo frowned, this level was definitely not that simple.
The seemingly unlimited activities are actually full of dangers. The confusing mountain fog, the fierce wind, the dark sky... Not only that, except for the skills of the characters themselves, all other props are prohibited from being used, and they can't even take them out of the package.
The only lucky thing is that the character panels have not changed, and the panels in their hands are still their own professions.
"Gather first." Su Mo said, "I have a bad feeling."
But at this moment, a gust of wind blew towards him, blowing Su Mo up.
The fierce mountain wind came unexpectedly, and Su Mo was blown against the tree repeatedly. Finally, he managed to hold on to the branches to steady himself. In a split second, he seemed to be blown back ten meters. At this time, his eyes swept to the small map, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
The wind came suddenly, and the voice channel was in chaos, with voices coming one after another, and the noise was mixed with the sound of the wind.
"Help!!!"
"What the hell is this wind?! I'm dead."
"The child was hit and became stupid."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have underestimated the Mastermind. This wind is more fierce than the spring breeze of the Son of Spring."
The wind blew for about ten seconds before it stopped, blowing everyone in the group to the ground. Some were stuck in the trees, and some were thrown dozens of meters away...
"I was wondering why the rules of the game are so simple, not to mention the disabled props. The wind is blowing so hard that I can't even walk, how can I find my teammates!?" The passerby teammate Lao Dao Bu Dong Ai was completely dumbfounded. He was a person with no sense of direction and relied entirely on the small map to find his way. Now there was another strong wind. He had just confirmed the direction in the previous second, and the next second he was blown away and couldn't tell left from right. He was also stuck in the tree and couldn't get down.
Yu Zhen frowned slightly and saw that the positions of his teammates on the small map had changed. "The coordinates are messed up, and the health points have also dropped."
The coordinates have changed, and they have suffered more or less blood loss in the strong wind just now. The treatment is okay, and they can heal the lost blood by themselves, but the output of the squishy is different. They may lose blood in this environment. If the red medicine in the backpack is used up or enters CD, they will most likely face death.
If teammates die, the situation will become even more uncontrollable.
"Then let's gather quickly." Hong Guoguo said, "Only when we gather together can we think of a solution. Who knows when this wind will come again."
The seriousness of the situation was immediately exposed to everyone. At this time, Su Mo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Gathering is not that easy. The scale of the small map is wrong."
"What do you mean?" Apple looked at the small map. "Isn't this the same as before?"
Su Mo said: "After you zoom in, try taking a few steps."
Apple walked a few steps as instructed and suddenly found that her position on the map had not changed much.
"The scale of the original map has been expanded nearly five times, which means that although we thought we were very close, the actual distance is much longer." Su Mo said simply, "This forest map is larger than we thought. It is very likely that the wind will come and mess up our position again while we are moving."
"There is a more serious problem."
Su Mo said: "Since the scale of the map has become larger, our position on the map should not change much for a distance of more than ten meters. However, look at the current coordinates, our position is almost messed up."
"There were originally three blue dots in the west, but now there is only one left."
Su Mo said in a serious voice, "Do you know what this means?"
Ta Yunzhong frowned: "We thought we were just blown away by the wind, but in fact, we were greatly displaced during the process of being blown away."
"Yes, and this displacement may be caused by the wind, or it may be that we touched something else while being blown away, causing some people to change their positions by hundreds or thousands of meters in a short period of time." Su Mo looked at the surrounding environment, "At the beginning of the second level, we were told to be careful of the surrounding environment. I suggest that we should not move before we determine the mechanism."
This wind will cause them to lose blood, and if they encounter other dangers during the movement, their risk of death will increase.
After hearing this, everyone perked up and looked at the surrounding situation.
There was nothing but fog and trees, and the trees were so tall that you couldn't see the top. The wind was very strong, and the sound of wind blowing was everywhere, and the leaves were rustling, but such a strong wind couldn't blow away the fog.
Not long after, the cold wind came again and blew them all up again.
"Try your skills and steady yourself."
Su Mo's voice was drowned in the sound of the wind. He directly released the summoned bear to block the strong wind in front of him. It was useful, but he still needed to use other skills to resist.
The positions on the map became a mess again. Su Mo himself did not move much, and several other teammates also managed to keep their bodies steady in the wind. After some communication, the method of blocking the wind was determined.
Defensive skills are useful, damage reduction skills are useful, and reasonable physical blocking also exists.
Su Mo said: "Confirm the wind direction in your location in advance, find a bigger tree to hide behind, and use your skills to stabilize yourself to avoid being blown away by the wind."
After listening to this, the others fell into deep thought.
"Sure enough, I shouldn't trust the Mastermind."
"What kind of earthly activity is this? If I believe it again, I'm just a dog."
"This is actually a simplified version of the Spring God's skills, but this time there are many more places to hide."
"What if we let ourselves be blown by the wind first?" Huo Shu Yin Hua suddenly had an idea: "Since the wind can cause such a large displacement, why don't we use the wind to move? If we're lucky, we might be blown together directly."
Xigua heard this and said, "Xiao Yinhua, do you think the mastermind is a good person? Will it give you such a high chance to blow it together?"
"I think what they said about the fireworks makes some sense." Hong Guoguo added, "Isn't the wind blowing in the same direction? Aren't we all blowing in the same direction? If we're lucky, won't we bump into each other?"
Xigua: "... Bro, you are just gambling on your luck."
At this moment, the players in the group looked at the minimap. Although their teammates seemed so close, they could not get close at all.
During the discussion, the wind blew a few more times.
The people in the group basically mastered the method, and by the fourth time, the positions on the map did not change much.
Su Mo was still observing his surroundings. He did not move too much and was only a few meters away from his original position. The environment did not change. This was good news, indicating that the only environmental factor that triggered the long-distance event was not the wind.
Then the biggest possibility can be basically confirmed that they hit something while being blown by the wind.
"Can the interval between winds be determined?" Yu Zhen asked.
Even without that strong wind, the wind is still blowing in the mountains and forests, and it should not be underestimated.
"I calculated it, about 1 minute?" A female voice appeared in the voice channel. It was the cutest formation master in the world.
"It can be more precise, it should be 53 to 55 seconds." Su Mo explained: "Before a strong wind starts, the surrounding wind will become weaker for 1-2 seconds, and then the strong wind will appear. The countdown fluctuates, so just pay attention to the interval between the weak wind and the strong wind."
Stepping into the clouds: "Are you sure?"
Su Mo: "Sure, the three winds have been following this pattern recently, there shouldn't be much change."
At this moment, Su Mo suddenly looked up and a few drops of rain fell on his face.
He paused. Is it raining
A few drops of rain fell from the dark sky, and then the rain became heavier and heavier. In just a dozen seconds, the drizzle instantly turned into a downpour, soaking everyone.
"Okay, I understand why it's called Feng Yu Tong Cheng."
"Strong winds and heavy rain? I've never seen such heavy rain on the capital planet."
"It's going to be rainy and windy. Do you have to be so casual when holding an event?"
"Fantasy game, everyone calm down."
The rain was getting heavier. The forest was already filled with fog, and the heavy rain made everyone's vision even more hazy, which put a lot of pressure on environmental judgment. The only clear thing was the blue dot coordinates on the small map.
Qingfeng wiped the water off his face and turned to stand with his back to the wind to avoid the rain hitting his face: "Damn, it's so stormy, I can't even see what's ahead."
"You should be thankful that the rain did not hurt you, otherwise we would have nowhere to hide and would have been blown to death." Xigua leaned calmly against the tree. The tree was big enough that although the wind and rain were strong, they did not affect him much.
Apple: "It's already raining and storming, isn't it going to thunder soon?"
"Be careful, a strong wind is coming." Su Mo said suddenly.
The sound of rain influenced the judgment of the sound of wind, but the moment the cold wind became smaller was still quite obvious. The moment Xigua heard the voice, he immediately activated his defensive skills and damage reduction skills.
The assassin's damage reduction skill was limited. Xigua was extremely grateful that he brought a lot of knives this time, including several more even if he used a blunt one. He immediately activated the damage reduction skill and stabbed the blunt knife directly into the ground. He lowered his body and controlled his center of gravity to stabilize himself to avoid being blown away by the wind.
A few rays of light flashed across the sky. Xigua looked up and heard thunder fall instantly. The sound was mighty and intimidating. At the same time, he heard a scream from the team.
Qing Feng shouted at the top of his lungs: "Fuck!!! Apple, you're such a bad mouth!!"
The author has something to say: Watermelon (ecstatic): It’s not me!
Mastermind: Don't stand under a tree when it thunders^_^
