Chapter 169

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"Ah?? High-risk patients take the initiative to help? Is it really possible for this kind of thing to happen?"

"How to say, I have seen NPCs or bosses mixed into the team before, but I have never seen such a blatant one..."

"I'm shocked... and it seems like I'm really ready to help???"

"This is too magical!!"

Along the way, everyone kept their nerves tense. Not only did they have to be on guard against the monsters that might pop out all the time, but they also had to allocate part of their energy to guard against the 02 who followed at the end of the team, whose purpose was still unclear and unpredictable. Number.

The corridor was extremely quiet, only the sound of breathing and footsteps deliberately suppressed by everyone could be heard.

In the oppressive, breathless silence, everyone has their own thoughts.

However, to everyone's surprise, No. 02 actually did nothing wrong along the way.

He just followed the team carelessly all the time, seldom spoke, his posture was relaxed, and he could even help a lot in most cases.

"Da da da-"

Pale fingers tapped the ground, and dense palms crawled quickly on the ground not far away, making a hair-raising sound. All the anchors subconsciously stayed away, for fear of being caught by them if they were not careful. arrive.

But unexpectedly, they did not launch an attack from the beginning to the end. On the contrary, these terrifying monsters are completing the task of exploring the path very faithfully.

Since No. 02 became a member of the team, their trip has become much smoother, and even if they encounter danger, they will always be easily resolved.

"..."

Even Luce had a look of hesitation on his face.

He turned his head secretly, and glanced at No. 02 who was following behind the team.

The other party still had that harmless and idle appearance, honest and unbelievable.

Could it be that…

Is this guy really ready to help?

How can it be?

What is his purpose?

Since it is still in the state of the table world, although some "creatures" that do not belong here have appeared, the overall map, including the length of the corridor, has not changed in any way.

Out of caution, everyone moved very slowly, but the negative floor finally came to an end very quickly.

Not far away, a staircase leading to the top appeared in front of everyone.

Although the front is still dark, as if shrouded in a thick fog that cannot be melted away, this also means the end of the negative layer.

Everyone couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Just keep going up and you can get out of here and see!

Although they don't have the ability to imprint the entire map firmly in their minds like Wen Jianyan, they still know one thing. After walking up here, they can run through the hall for about five minutes at full strength. There is a small door on the side, from which you can directly enter the atrium.

Before allowing 02 to join the team, Wen Jianyan had already said that although they could go together temporarily on the negative floor, after entering the hall, they had to get rid of him as quickly as possible.

Everyone is a senior anchor, and they are very clear about the deep meaning of Wen Jianyan's words.

That is: give an order, activate the props, disperse and escape, and gather at the end.

A group of people walked forward step by step, their speed did not change, they were still vigilant and slow, but their bodies tensed up subconsciously, and secretly prepared hidden props or acceleration props, Just wait for Wen Jianyan to issue orders, and they will activate immediately.

Although the current situation in the hall is not clear yet, as senior anchors, everyone is somewhat behind-the-scenes, at least able to guarantee two or three minutes of invincibility, and it is not difficult to rush all the way to the back of the hall.

This is not an inaccessible world, that is to say, even if their success rate is not 70% to 80%, there is still a 50% to 60% success rate.

"..."

Luce took a deep breath, and looked at Wen Jianyan, who was walking not far away, without any trace.

The young man kept his eyes fixed, raised his eyes and stared ahead, his side face was half hidden in the shadows, he couldn't see clearly the expression on his face, he was walking up the steps carefully.

Still have to wait.

A narrow flight of stairs is long or not long.

Soon, the stairs are over.

Several people gathered in the small stairwell, making the already narrow space even more cramped.

Through the door, you can see the dark hall outside.

The lamp hanging on the top of the hall has been turned off for some time, leaving only a dead silence. In the shadows, it seems that the sound of some kind of creature wriggling can be heard faintly, moist, subtle, scalp-numbing, almost a kind of hesitant to move forward. impulse.

"Clap clack."

The pale palm quickly crawled over from the darkness, passed the feet of the anchor who was avoiding it, came to No. 02's trouser leg, climbed up his leg, and reached his ear. The man turned his face slightly, his black eyelashes drooping, as if he was listening carefully to what the other person said, a language that ordinary humans could not understand.

After dozens of seconds, the palm jumped off No. 02's shoulder and disappeared into the darkness again.

No. 02 raised his eyes, his eyes fell on Wen Jianyan, and he said in a slightly strange voice: "There are three nests in total, located at one o'clock, three o'clock, and eight o'clock."

Wen Jianyan gave him a firm look: "Come here."

No. 02 obediently walked forward, watching Wen Jianyan's gestures on the wall.

It was a simple map of the lobby on the first floor.

"We're about here now."

Wen Jianyan nodded in one direction, then looked at 02: "Where are the three nests exactly?"

02 had a slight smile on his lips, and didn't mind Wen Jianyan's businesslike command tone, so he just raised his hand meekly, and tapped lightly on the three places on the simple map:

"Here, here, and here."

He can almost be regarded as responsive to every request, and he is completely worthy of the title of "useful" that he advertised before.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Good guy!! This is too obedient!"

"It's the first time I've seen such an obedient high-risk patient...it's like obeying the anchor!"

"Really, if the information he gave is correct, then you can give it a code name."

"What code name?"

"Wen Jianyan's dog."

"Hahahahahahahahaha, it's true!"

After getting the reply from No. 02, Wen Jianyan nodded, then turned to look at the rest of the people: "Have you all understood?"

The rest of the people couldn't figure out what Wen Jianyan was thinking right now, so they nodded.

"According to our previous experience in the laboratory and when we were trapped in the lobby on the first floor, I deduce that those heads are likely to judge the location of the prey based on the sound. If they gather together, no matter how fast we are, they will also If you are attacked by three nests, you will definitely die." Wen Jianyan lowered his voice and said calmly, "So I suggest that we run separately, divide into three groups of seven, and outflank from different routes, so that each team will only face one nest at most. Survival rates would increase dramatically."

…Seven people?

The rest of the people were startled, and glanced at the only alien in the whole team without a trace, and then quickly retracted.

Obviously, this is the seventh of them.

Shallow doubts arise from the bottom of my heart.

Could it be that...Wen Jianyan changed his mind? Are you really going to keep him in the team?

Luce frowned slightly.

Although he did admit that No. 02 played a role that should not be underestimated along the way, but... no matter what, this guy is also a high-risk patient. Isn't it better to get rid of it as soon as possible?

Wen Jianyan looked over, and nodded among the few people: "You two go together."

"You two too."

Su Cheng Huang Mao was assigned to the first team, and Shao Yao was assigned to another member of Lu Si's team. This division is normal. After all, in a crisis situation, they must be familiar with each other and can exchange trust with each other. If you act together with your teammates, the probability of survival will be higher.

After finishing speaking, Wen Jianyan pointed to Luce: "You and I are in the same group."

"And you." He looked at No. 02 and said.

This group... looks like it is indeed preparing to make No. 02 permanent.

Not to mention that there is no concealment of the plan to act separately, and there is no tendency to show any preparations to get rid of people.

Luce's eyes fell on No. 02 at the side.

No. 02 obviously didn't notice the strangeness of the rest of the people. He still had the happy look with a smile on his lips, his long and curly eyelashes were drooping, and he stared at Wen Jianyan with those chocolate-colored eyes. lingering.

Could it be that... this person was really judged harmless?

It's not unreasonable...

After all, along the way, he did have many opportunities to kill them, but not only did he not do anything, he also helped everywhere. It can even be said that if 02 were not in the team, the difficulty of their march on the second floor would have increased several times , There is no way to advance here so quickly without any casualties.

While Luce was contemplating, Wen Jianyan on the side had already spoken: "Are you ready?"

Under the half-blind light, the young man's amber eyes sparkled: "I said start, and ran forward, do you understand?"

"clear."

Everyone nodded.

"start!"

Wen Jianyan's voice was firm, and his enunciation was clear and rapid, as if a hand was firmly grasping the hearts of everyone.

Almost subconsciously, everyone rushed out at the fastest speed! The dome is high here.

In the black, shadow-shrouded hall, three tall, hill-like things can be vaguely seen, silently submerged in the darkness, inexplicably bringing a strong psychological pressure to people.

With the sound of footsteps, these hills slowly squirmed a little bit.

The outlines in the shadows were undulating, and the strange, wet friction sound echoed in the hall.

Only Huangmao had seen the true appearance of this thing with his own eyes before, and the others were just guessing. Although they were all mentally prepared, after witnessing its appearance, everyone still couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb.

The word "nest" is really too appropriate.

The slender, slug-like necks are intertwined and overlap each other, forming a hill-like shape, and after hearing the sound, the pale hills formed by the accumulation of slippery limbs spread out , revealing a pale head, poking towards the direction of the voice.

I couldn't see clearly what was at the end of those heads, the only thing I could see was the dull and numb faces, with empty eyes staring at the direction of the sound.

"!!"

Everyone's faces were ugly.

It has to be said that Wen Jianyan's prediction was correct.

This kind of place must be run separately. Although the speed of these things is not too fast, there are too many of them. If they are allowed to probe in the same direction, even if they are not caught at the beginning, they will be blocked soon. Space, falling into a scene of forced confrontation—but they can't do it, if the liquid in this thing's body gets on them, who knows what bad things might happen.

At that time, they will be in a dilemma, and they may never have a chance to escape.

Only by dispersing will there be room for maneuver.

run, run, run!

Everyone raised their hearts high, prepared to activate the props, and ran towards the distant exit at the fastest speed!

The strips of pale heads stretched out in the dark space and turned around, as if they wanted to entangle these disobedient humans and pull them into their lair.

In just a few minutes, danger abounds.

Luce activated the props, managed to block a head rushing towards him, and then jumped forward in a thrilling way, avoiding a neck under his feet.

He panted, blinked the sweat that fell into his eyes, and looked forward.

Just a dozen meters away is the small back door.

Just walk through there and you'll be in the atrium - they did it!

Joy and excitement fermented in his heart, causing Luce's fingertips to tremble involuntarily.

faster.

Hurry up!

His eyes subconsciously swept over the teammates around him, trying to confirm the safety of the other party.

In the darkness, he faced a pair of bright amber eyes.

"...!"

The other party is actually looking at him?

Luce froze for a moment, he didn't expect to meet Wen Jianyan's eyes at that moment.

The light was dim, but the young man's eyes were so clear and bright that no shadow could fall into them. Inexplicably, Luce caught a trace of meaningful emotions passing by from the other side's eyes.

etc…?

A judgment of imminent danger from an unknown source captured him at that moment, like the low-hanging clouds and the moist breath pouring into the nostrils before the rain was about to come.

Luce couldn't help being shocked!

A strong sense of unease hit him, making his hairs stand on end involuntarily.

what happened?

Before he could organize his thoughts and come up with a reason—the next second, a sudden change occurred!

The young man turned around without hesitation, and a very old-looking toy gun appeared between his slender fingers. It was made of rough plastic, and there was almost no hint. Luce immediately understood the origin of that thing—it was a prop , definitely props.

And is…

Attack props!

[The toy gun of the wronged soul (orphanage dungeon misery-level props) has been activated]

【Consumption times: 0】

Although the space is so small, Luce always has an illusion, as if there is a slight delay between the sound and the picture, and a second is slowed down to a century. He can only watch the scene in front of him in amazement.

"boom."

The bullet was engulfed in a tense momentum, broke through the air, and went straight towards the man's chest!

At the end of the trajectory, there is number 02.
