Chapter 166
In the dense fog, a group of people walked on the road holding flashlights.
cars, vans, buses, ambulances,
All the vehicles on the street were turned off, and there was no one in the car.
Some diners who understand car maintenance went up to tinker with it for a while, but they couldn't even start a car.
According to the diner, all the parts of the vehicle are there, and no fault can be found.
But it just can't start, and I can't find the specific reason for the failure.
The drone that Wei Linglan took out also couldn't fly normally in the dense fog, but the individual helmet-mounted telescope with thermal imaging search function can still be used.
Infrared rays probed all the way, but no living person was found except everyone in the restaurant.
Not even living things like birds, stray cats and dogs.
It seems that they are the only ones left in this city...
People panicked and whispered,
The father and mother Wei, who were walking behind the line, hesitated several times, and finally couldn't help asking their daughter in a low voice,
"Lan Lan...what the hell is going on..."
Wei's father is an engineer, Wei's mother is a home designer, and the couple are high-income senior intellectuals.
Their wealthy family background is enough for them to support Wei Linglan in choosing their favorite career.
I never thought about it, I haven't seen you for several months,
The well-behaved and sensible daughter in my impression has turned into a "strong woman" who bombards mouse monsters with a grenade launcher, and has an inexplicable official background.
Moreover, this weird environment is completely contrary to their long-established worldview.
Li Ang, who takes money to do things and is dedicated to his work, also imitated his father and mother, and asked worriedly: "Yes, Lan Lan, what's going on?"
Wang Congshan, who was also panicked at the side, almost choked on the air, and you are still acting at this time, convinced.
Wang Congshan pinched Li Ang lightly in a corner where others could not see. The latter seemed to be completely unaware of the pain, frowning and said anxiously,
"Lan Lan, you... have you been irradiated by nuclear radiation? Will there be green, blue and red scales? Will it affect our future children?"
...Brother, I only gave you two thousand, really, you don't have to work so hard.
Feeling a headache, Wei Linglan gave a dry smile, and then straightened his face. While continuing on his way, he whispered to his parents,
"Dad, Mom, I'm fine, now... I've been officially recruited, don't worry.
I won't be able to tell you more about the situation for a while, so you just stay by my side, and I'll tell you when I get out of this fog. "
Father Wei and mother Wei looked at each other, although they had countless questions, they could only keep them in their hearts.
After dismissing his parents, Wei Linglan couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.
In fact, she wasn't completely ignorant of the current foggy situation.
As a non-staff member of the Mobile Task Force of the Special Affairs Bureau, Wei Linglan's usual duties are training and patrolling the streets.
The training is easy to understand. The Special Affairs Bureau will provide training courses on basic skills for players who come to surrender, such as foreign languages, hand-to-hand combat, gun shooting, car maintenance, etc.
Right now player qualifications are still very scarce, each task force can be equipped with a complete team of experts, while collecting various data of players,
Assist players to cooperate with the scientific research team to conduct various experiments,
And in his spare time, guide players to train.
In addition, the Bureau of Special Affairs will also issue various standard equipment and props,
Players are encouraged to fight each other with all their strength in a special venue under the premise of not killing or maiming, in order to collect data and exercise combat ability——
Anyway, there is a dedicated medical team on call 24 hours a day, and there are medical items from the suicide game just in case.
The official organization is still very reliable, whether it is the total amount of resources that can be mobilized, or the efficiency of time utilization, it is far stronger than the lone wolf player.
With the support of the Special Affairs Bureau, Wei Linglan was able to quickly evolve from a mere literary young woman to a fighter above the standard line.
As for patrolling the streets - with the continuous advancement of the killing game, all kinds of bizarre incidents with serious hazards are also emerging one after another,
The best solution is to send a mobile task force to continuously patrol the city to detect abnormal events in advance, turn them into missions, and then resolve them.
In the Special Affairs Bureau, there are not only shared mission logs, but the upper echelon will also selectively distribute some key secrets to field personnel.
Wei Linglan knew very well that as early as a month ago, small-scale fog appeared in various parts of Yin City.
A sewer worker who claimed his companion was engulfed in a cloud of fog in the sewers;
A homeless man reported to the police that he heard a group of people screaming and calling for help in a foggy alley;
A group of anglers went fishing by the river, and suddenly thick fog filled the air. When the fog cleared, they found that a fisherman on the small island in the center of the lake had disappeared, and the search and rescue team could not find anyone alive or dead.
The phenomenon of dense fog has attracted great attention from the Yin City Bureau of Special Affairs. For this reason, a professional team has been set up to try to crack this anomaly.
"All previous reports indicated that dense fog would only appear at night, why did it happen during the day today..."
Wei Linglan said silently in his heart, "And he swallowed so many people at once..."
All investigation reports on the fog have no records of survivors.
Just as Wei Linglan was thinking about why the system thought "Heshan Road 149" would be a safe place, there was a commotion in front of the team.
A dense sound came from the mist,
"Da da da, da da da" seems to have dozens of blades, poking the concrete road with the tip of the knife.
"Ugh!!"
A shrill roar came from the thick fog,
The crowd was agitated, and the palms holding the flashlights couldn't help shaking.
Wei Linglan was also a little nervous. Her infrared detector didn't show any abnormalities, but the hairs on her back were standing on end.
Miss Chai standing in front of the line did not change her face, she stood with her hands behind her back,
She clearly felt that there was a strong yin energy in the fog. It should be a large group of sword labor ghosts. The total number is about... thirty?
As time went on, the number continued to increase, forty, fifty...
The so-called Dao Laogui, according to the records in Volume 12 of "Sou Shen Ji" by Gan Bao, a historian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is a kind of ghost that haunts the mountains in Linchuan.
Often accompanied by strong winds and heavy rains, the sound is like the roar of a living person, and it can spray venom.
The place where the venom is sprayed will swell instantly, and it will cause death within half a day.
Trouble...
Chai Cuiqiao resisted the urge to look back at Li Ang, and subconsciously clenched her fists.
Ghosts can be roughly divided into two categories according to their degree of sanity.
The first category is ghosts like Chai Cuiqiao, who are born out of resentment and anger, have a clear sense of revenge, have a clear target for revenge, and will take the initiative to find a substitute.
If you live in a place with abundant yin energy, you may be able to embark on the path of cultivation and become a ghost king step by step.
The second category is ghosts whose sanity has been completely swallowed by resentment. This kind of ghost is not only distorted in shape, but also has a weak individual consciousness, and will only attack the creatures in the territory indiscriminately.
Ugly, stupid, no future, but strong.
The sword labor ghosts around belong to the second type.
After Chai Cuiqiao's death, she never saw Dao Laogui, but heard about it at the Feast of Demons. Dao Laogui is divided into male and female, and only haunts the dark and humid places in the deep mountains on a small scale.
How could such a large group of ghosts appear in the dense fog?
Many sword labor ghosts hidden in the mist surrounded the crowd, but they did not step forward to attack, but silently accumulated their numbers, and kept poking the ground back and forth with their blade-like arms and soles.
The sound of the tip of the knife hitting the ground was as dense as raindrops, and low-pitched howls followed one after another.
Wei Linglan's fingers were firmly on the trigger of the grenade launcher, but her shoulders trembled slightly—she, who had piled up her perception attributes, could clearly feel the oppression coming from the dense fog.
"It can't go on like this."
Chai Cuiqiao's face was tense, and she really wanted to turn her head and ask Li Ang loudly what to do.
Facing the bloodthirsty and warlike Dao Lao Gui with low IQ, even Li Ang can only be honest and tough, and can't make any showy maneuvers.
So, is it to fight on the spot, or to break through and charge?
She is confident that she can cooperate with Li Ang to rush out, but the people here... may not be able to save many.
Anyway, Li Ang will definitely give priority to saving that little Lang Hoof surnamed Wang.
Tsk.
Suddenly, the Dao Lao ghost group stopped all sounds.
Da da da.
The tip of the knife lightly touched the ground, and a huge shadow stepped slowly, breaking through the fog.
It was a three-meter-tall female Dao Laogui, her upper body was roughly human-shaped,
No eyes and no nose, high protruding forehead, full of fangs, the forearms of the two arms narrowed rapidly, turning into thick, long and sharp bone knives.
The female Dao Laogui has pale skin and is naked, but her upper body is covered with a layer of bony plate armor.
The abdomen is high and swollen like a balloon, as if pregnant,
The lower body extends out like a scorpion and is flat, with three legs that also turn into long bony knives on each side.
The overall shape is a bit like the Scorpion King, ugly and deformed, but also has a ferocious beauty.
"So strong..."
Chai Cuiqiao pursed her lips, and she could clearly feel the terrifying coercion on the other party. In the previous life, it was enough to be called a ghost king.
In particular, the two door-like flat bone knives on the opponent's arm looked very intimidating. Even if the main battle tank was really brought in, it must be easily cut down.
Facing the trembling crowd who dared not breathe loudly, Queen Dao Lao Gui let her arms hang down naturally, and the bone knife the size of a door panel hit the ground, deeply embedded in the concrete floor.
What is she... thinking?
Fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, but why?
Li Ang, who could clearly see the group of Dao Lao ghosts through the cat's eyes, took a deep breath, pretended to be terrified, and dragged Wang Congshan behind him.
While projecting subtitles under Chai Cuiqiao's visor,
"Next, follow my command."
Chai Cuiqiao blinked silently, and put her hands in front of her body, acting like a calm and breezy outsider.
Li Ang continued to project: "You have to calmly turn your head and shout at us, 'Which of you is a master of gynecology?'"
