Returning from the abyss

Chapter 364 Exploration Harvest
[Weather Unlock Notice: This action will affect personnel in the entire area.

After pressing the button, the weather controller in the area will be unlocked, the environment in the area will become more severe, the cooling time of all time-limited items in the area will be doubled, and the difficulty of tasks involving this area will increase by one level, 10 minutes after unlocking The external passages in this area will be blocked, and it will be deemed to be lifted after 10 minutes.

After the lock is lifted, the arrival of the overall crisis in Four Seasons Garden will be delayed by 10 minutes.When the crisis comes, monsters will not be released directly into the area.

After any crisis is over, all weathers are re-locked.

If all four weather locks of any garden are released before a crisis ends, the weather area of ​​the garden will be permanently unlocked, and four additional unlockers will be given a certain number of stars, and the arrival of the crisis will be permanently delayed by two hours. 】

"A double-edged sword." After reading the description, Lu Ning quickly understood what it was.

To put it simply, increase the difficulty in exchange for more preparation time.

"But this will cost us!" Mao You didn't care about anything else, and focused all his attention on "the area's external access will be blocked".

"If you think about it better, the blockade also means that people from outside can't get in." Lu Ning said.

This is an ideal situation. After all, the location of the button is here, and the entire courtyard is covered. If he ran in and pressed the button in order to escape the pursuit, the enemy would have already chased him in.

And the 10-minute lock-in but extended 10-minute rule also perfectly avoids the possibility of relying on this avoidance monster to launch an attack.

"So should we press it?" Maoyou asked in a low voice.

"Don't press it."

"But your task is not..."

"I want to unlock the whole domain, and I don't necessarily have to press four by myself. Taking a step back, it's okay to fail that task. On the contrary, this button is very important to Levanska."

Maoyou's eyes widened: "You want to negotiate terms with him?"

"I've been negotiating terms with him."

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ning also knew that Levanska's team management method is still the strength of the core, and the strength of all aspects.Levanska will not be unclear about the attitude he posed. Unless he keeps showing his leadership ability, Lu Ning will definitely not follow his team all the time. At the same time, he can give nothing but a suit of clothes and weapons. Lu Ning provided that, compared to the weather lock button, Lu Ning is still at a disadvantage.

So Levanska had to take on this task, whether it was to continue strengthening himself or to prove his strength to Lu Ning.

"Let's go to the courtyard next door, look for the mission machine, and then return to the supply point of the Autumn Garden a little earlier."

Except for the elevator room, there are only glass doors at the exit of the courtyard. It is easy for a few people to go back along the road that Helena split before, but Lu Ning noticed that some plants near the six-pointed star have begun to cover the opened road again. path.

"It grows so fast..."

Helena and the others went to the glass door with an obvious purpose, and the five of them walked out of the courtyard without much effort, and entered a corridor that was the same as the branching corridor in the Autumn Garden. The only difference was that the corridor There is no pentagonal wall at the end, but a direct opening to the corridor outside.

"The center is symmetrical, and the entrance to the other courtyard is on the other side of the corridor." Lu Ning stretched out her finger. At this time, Golius pointed to the narrow path that no one had explored before, and asked, "Lu, where is the entrance?" what is the place?"

"Probably leads to another room."

"But it should also be connected to the courtyard, right? I remember that the courtyard is quite big."

No... not enough distance.

Golius's sense of space is poor, or the sense of distance is not very good.Lu Ning had studied cartography before, and after a little estimation of the size, she knew that the end of the courtyard was nearly 20 meters away from the path. Maybe the path would turn inside, but Lu Ning didn't have much to rely on before. unwilling to go in.

With the authority of the captain, Lu Ning still led the people to the corridor.

There is an obvious one-star mission machine in the corridor, which has undoubtedly been scanned. Aunt Pinna tried it, but Lu Ning walked over without even looking at it.

Turning around the corridor, the glass door on the other side can also be seen.At the same time, two people just happened to walk over from the opposite corridor.

These are two similar-looking men, still wearing the original white clothes, holding the knife and fork taken out from the supply point in their hands. When they saw the five men carrying weapons on Lu Ning's side, they turned around and ran away.

"Hey!"

Maoyou yelled, but the two of them ran even faster, turning into the corridor and disappearing immediately.

"It should have been attacked." Lu Ning is not surprised that there are people who have such a reaction. After all, there are more than 150 people, and there are people like Levanska who pull up the team.The people who were attacked naturally turned around and ran away when they saw them like this.

"There's no need to chase." She said this, walked to the glass door and opened the door to the courtyard on the other side.

The "stream" is actually very obvious.

There is a meandering waterway at the gate of a large courtyard. In terms of scale alone, it is indeed just a "stream" with a width of five or six meters.But there are only two wooden bridges on this creek that can only be passed by a single person, and the depth of the creek cannot see the bottom, which is a bit strange.

Lu Ning walked to the stream, knelt down and touched the water.

It's flowing water, and it still maintains a very low temperature in such a sweltering environment. It doesn't exceed ten degrees in terms of body feeling, which feels a bit bit bone-chilling.

"The water is so cold!"

Lu Ning turned her head and found that Mao You imitated her and reached out to touch the water, and was immediately shrunk by the ice.

"Will something happen if you fall in this kind of place? For example, cramps or something!"

"You can't swim?" Lu Ning broke off a piece of wood from the bushes around her and threw it into the water. The wood floated in the water and flowed away.

"The buoyancy is normal, the water is live water," she said.

"You guys are here too?"

Just as they were speaking, a voice came from behind them. Everyone turned their heads and found that it was Helena who walked out of the courtyard.

"Yes, thank you for opening the way." Lu Ning nodded at her.

"It's a small matter. We searched the yard first." Helena gestured behind her with her thumb, which meant that the task inside had been taken.Lu Ning didn't care, and asked if there was anything else she found.

"Xiao Huo found a button under the bed."

"under the bed?"

"Because of what you said, we searched here carefully. The inside of this yard is very similar to a family's house, and the style inside is also different from the outside. For example, the bed is not the solid bed commonly used in the suites outside. It’s the kind where you can put things underneath.”

"What's that button?"

"I think it should be what we're looking for, the release switch of the weather lock." Helena smiled, "I saw the explanation—don't deny it, after all, we've also collected a lot of quests."

"You also have the task of unlocking?"

"Relevant, but in view of the danger suggested by that note, we decided to temporarily postpone this matter. After all, the intensity of the crisis is still unclear, and no one knows which is worse than unlocking the weather."

Now Lu Ning is basically sure that the mission held by Helena does not require the first crisis as a condition, otherwise she would not be so vigilant about it.

"I'm going to look across the bridge."

"I just saw you test the water, did you find anything?"

There is nothing wrong with answering this question.

"The water here is very cold, and it's running water. There are so many plants around the water and there are no leaves on the water, which means that there is some place for filtering. It's just that the water is bottomless, and the distance of five or six meters is no longer an ordinary jump. So these two wooden bridges are very important."

"Understood, but no matter how cold it is, since the water is flowing, it won't be too cold. Have you ever thought about going into the water to have a look?"

"Go into the water?" Lu Ning shivered just thinking about it. She also knew her water quality. There is no problem in swimming in normal water. It's no wonder that she doesn't have cramps in this low temperature.

"It's not that I went down unprepared. Have you gone to the six-pointed star room we mentioned before? The weapon collection point there provides various special environment clothing, and diving suits are also available."

This is true, but Lu Ning was called away by Maoyou before he browsed much. He just left an impression in his mind, and he really didn't remember how many kinds there were.

"If there is time later, we have to cross the river now."

Lu Ning walked onto the wooden bridge.The bridge that can only be passed by one person is very stable, and it is not a single-plank bridge, but there are no guardrails on both sides, which is a little test of psychological quality.

The people here are not bad enough to fall into the water.

After crossing the bridge, there was a hut with blue walls under the shadow of the jungle on the other side. The two teams cut open the bushes along the way. Lu Ning noticed that among the two men beside Helena, the young man was holding an axe. Some cowering men wield a long, narrow katana sword.

As for the girl at the end, she didn't do anything at all, she just waited for the person in front to open the way.

"You need help."

Golius said in a low voice, there are a lot of rattan bushes along the way, and the distance of about 20 meters made him sweat all over, and he said it immediately when he saw the girl without moving.

"Sorry, Mayuri is not in good health and is not suitable for strenuous activities." Helena came out in time to make a rescue, but Lu Ning noticed that she gave the girl named Mayuri a wink, but she didn't understand what it meant.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Golius scratched his bald head and smiled.

After overcoming obstacles, everyone finally came to this blue building. Looking at the blue door painted the same color as the building, Helena turned her head and asked, "Lu, what do you think this place looks like?"

"...the swimming pool."

"You know the swimming pool?"

"I've seen it in the picture book." Lu Ning made her face gloomy at the right time, "When we couldn't even find some clean drinking water, people here used so much precious water to play."

"This is the difference, I've known it since I was a child." Helena sighed, "Let's see what kind of building this is again."

The door was opened, and surprisingly, Lu Ning basically guessed it right - this is an indoor swimming pool.

Two oval-shaped swimming pools occupy most of the house, surrounded by various items commonly used in swimming pools.Not to mention deck chairs, water polo, swimming rings, and even freezers and vending machines.That's right, this is also a supply point.

"It seems that the supply point does not intend to give us any trouble."

"The one in the middle is not a vending machine." Lu Ning pointed to the three black machines in a row between the two oval swimming pools.The two left and right are undoubtedly vending machines, but the one in the middle is a Samsung mission machine.

"It looks really similar." Maoyou pulled the corner of his mouth, "If you don't pay attention, you will miss it."

"This time... leave it to Aunt Pinna, Helena, do you want this mission?"

"We already have three stars, so I'm afraid we can't bear it anymore." Helena smiled and gestured "please".Ping Na was overjoyed when she saw this, and hurried over to try to accept the task. With the soft beep of the machine, her expression became more and more joyful.

"Accepted! This task has not been taken away!"

"Okay, we need to add some water here...the supply point seems to be different." Lu Ning walked to the freezer and glanced at the supply point.There are only two supply points in this room, and they only provide hot dogs and iced drinks. Although it may be to fit the environment here, Lu Ning always feels that there is some representative meaning in it, just like the difference in the arsenal.

She made a drink and drank it, then looked at the time, it was almost time to go back and join the big team.At this time, it is estimated that someone has completed several tasks. It is not clear how long the cooling time of each machine is.

"You guys are leaving? We have to continue to search the waters. There probably won't be any more waters in the Garden of Summer, right? If it hasn't been completed, there will be other gardens too... It's a troublesome task." Helena sighed. .

"Sorry, we also have our own actions."

"Working with you is very pleasant, Lu. If you have time, you might as well make friends." Helena smiled and extended her hand to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning hesitated for a moment, then shook her hand and let it go quickly.

"Yes, if I have time."

After the two teams left through the glass door, they split up.

Lu Ning and the others returned to the Autumn Garden along the original road. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they heard the sound of fighting coming from the mother-in-law's room not far away.Several people looked at each other and hurried over there.

After not running far, Lu Ning saw a person lying on the ground, moaning with a bloody head.Not far away, Fu Junnian led the remaining three people to fight with four people in gray cotton coats, and Fu Junnian's scolding could be heard here.

"This is what you're capable of? Cubs? You only know how to attack from behind! Fighting from the front is like a rabbit? In the past, you can be crushed to death with one hand!"

"Lu Ning, this..."

"Help." Lu Ning interrupted Maoyou directly.

"We don't know the situation..."

"Teammates must help if they are in trouble." Lu Ning glanced at him.

Gorius immediately roared excitedly, and rushed forward with the guy in his arms.
