Returning from the abyss

Chapter 367 Crisis Approaching
[Warning: Autumn Garden No. 10 courtyard area weather unlocking starts, the area will be completely closed within 10 minutes, the crisis time will be postponed for [-] minutes, all personnel please pay attention to the changes of various facilities. 】

The warning was heard in the elevator.

Levanska has already started to act, and Lu Ning doesn't want to be too slow. Now it suddenly takes an hour longer, and she is not sure if more people will try to unlock it. She has to check some things now.

The layout of the outer corridor of the Garden of Spring is not complicated. The circular rooms are arranged in a row. After leaving the elevator, Lu Ning immediately went out to take a look at the corridor. There was no one-star mission machine that he had received before, so he roughly determined his position. .

She walked to another corridor, that is, the one with four small rectangular rooms scattered on the left and right, and turned directly into the branching corridor.

"Lu, what is our next goal?"

"Find the weather unlock button for the Garden of Spring, and I want to see what's in the supply points and arsenal here."

She pushed open the glass door of the courtyard, and the courtyard area of ​​the Spring Garden looked much more comfortable than the summer and autumn. The grass was green and the temperature was right. Occasionally, bugs could be seen jumping in the grass.Some fine red and yellow wildflowers dot the lawn, and all the buildings can be seen at a glance.

A standard home-style courtyard, which is available in every garden courtyard.Further inside, there is a house with a sense of technology. The main body is a metallic rectangular two-story building similar to the material of the corridor wall. The reason why it is determined to be two-story is because its two corners extend out A glass passage, the passage is clearly divided into upper and lower halves, and the end of the passage is connected to a cylindrical glass room, with the lounge above and the kitchen below—it is also a supply point.

In front of this house is an irregularly shaped pool, with a one-star mission machine on a slightly inwardly concave edge.

Lu Ning walked around the courtyard, and this was all the buildings here, the rest were green grass and low shrubs, not even a single tree.

"Supply point." She said simply, opened the door of the building and walked in.

The first floor looks like a mixed design of a bar and a dance hall, and you can even find switches for colored lights.Too bad they don't actually serve alcohol.Maoyou found an old-fashioned phonograph and a stack of vinyl records in the corner. He randomly took out one and put it on the phonograph, and soon a melodious melody sounded.

"What is this?" Gorius asked.

"The things enjoyed by the upper class are probably only found in places like pavilions..." Maoyou curled his lips, "But this thing is considered an antique, will you feel bad if I smash Rawls? "

"Then he might let you be buried with this thing." Lu Ning had already walked towards the glass passage, and turned around and said something.

"Tsk, small belly and chicken intestines."

Lu Ning ignored these people seeing all kinds of new things on the first floor, but walked directly into the first floor of the cylindrical room along the glass passage.Just when she was about to use the supply point to get a supply, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a label on the thing that looked like a refrigerator out of the corner of her eye.

Red, four stars...

The corner of her eye twitched, she turned her head abruptly, stretched out her hand and pulled it, but couldn't pull it away—it was indeed a four-star mission machine.

But that's not right, although this thing was indeed painted in the same color as a refrigerator, why didn't she pay much attention to it?The characteristics of the task machine are quite obvious... wait a minute!
Lu Ning suddenly remembered something, and immediately poked the button of the supply point, and soon a box of spring rolls and a bottle of purified water fell out.She put the two things down, then turned around and rushed back to the house.

"Maoyou, there is a four-star mission in that room, go and get it."

When running out the door, Lu Ning also said something.Maoyou immediately became excited when he heard it, dropped the gramophone and ran into the kitchen, and at this time Lu Ning also came outside.

She bent over for breath, but grinned.

"There is such a secret..."

"Lu Ning!! This mission requires me to kill the leader in the first crisis!" Mao You screamed and ran out of the house, his hands and feet didn't know where to put it.

"Why panic, it doesn't have to be finished."

"Uh……"

Lu Ning quickly recovered her breath, straightened up and walked back into the house.

This building is also very interesting... It is not a glass corridor, but a black mirror corridor, and the same is true for the columns.

Unlike the general black mirror that can only see in one direction, this one has the additional function of mimetic imaging on the other side, so it looks like glass, but what you see is actually a three-dimensional image... Lu Ningzhi So she ignored the task machine at first glance because it looked like a refrigerator from the outside, and her memory naturally formed her first impression.

The food and water she took out were also presented in the external imaging as they were after she came out, but people were not included—from Maoyou receiving the task to running out, Lu Ning did not see anyone moving in the corridor at all scene.

"Since we have this special design..."

Lu Ning returned to the first floor and walked into the black mirror corridor on the other side. Sure enough, from the inside, she could see that there was a task machine hidden in the dead corner formed by the corridor and the wall of the main room.She immediately opened the side door to check the condition of the machine, and received the two-star task.

[Task Level [-]: From the beginning to the end of the first crisis, do not leave any area. 】

In this way, Lu Ning has three levels of tasks in his hands, and they are all related to the first crisis.In a sense, at this time, she is looking forward to the crisis coming sooner, otherwise the task will not be easy to complete.

In the house, Maoyou and Qiao found the weather unlock switch of the courtyard in a piano on the second floor.

"Lu! Look at this! Shall we press it?"

"No, we don't unlock weather." Lu Ning replied directly, "Now more and more tasks are related to the first crisis, it is not a good thing to delay it infinitely, that means the speed at which we accumulate stars Slow down."

"Oh, oh." Maoyou replied half-understood.

"So what are we going to do now?" Gorius asked.

Lu Ning glanced out the window: "Ambush."

The two people who crept into the courtyard were directly seen by Lu Ning under the influence of the black mirror corridor.However, they cannot see people inside the building - which has to be said to be a huge advantage.

"What?" Everyone quickly ran to Lu Ning's place, and they all found the two people who were squatting in the grass and moving.But the grass was only knee-deep, and even though the two of them were wearing green camouflage uniforms, they looked quite conspicuous.

"Who are they?" asked Aunt Pinna in a low voice.

"I don't know, but there seems to be something wrong with this look."

"There is a ghost in my heart, hum." Maoyou sneered, "But Lu, these two people can't be mercenaries, they won't make such low-level mistakes, they are probably pathfinders sent by mercenaries."

"It's okay..." Lu Ning narrowed her eyes, "Just grab it and ask and you'll know everything."

What kind of person is a "mercenary"?
Earn money by doing your best - your own or someone else's.

Chuck and Supari were gangsters on the streets. They were just ordinary thugs, even though they knew that "mercenaries" were the lowest occupation among hired people, they didn't dare to provoke these bloodthirsty lunatics.

"Ni, Nimorphos said that those people are here?"

Chuck squatted in the grass and couldn't help talking to his companions to embolden him.

"Nonsense, we're all here, why not be here?"

"Yes, but there are five of them, and we, there are only two of us."

"Gu Lengzi shot down two of them with a crossbow. They don't have long-range weapons. As long as they are sure to find their whereabouts, someone will come to help! If we do this well, the two of us can become mercenaries! Then we don't have to worry about starvation." Already!"

"Really..." Chuck muttered to himself, not knowing what he meant.

The two slowly approached the main entrance. Supari looked left and right. There was no one in the glass passage, and the glass room was empty. He immediately grinned and said, "They may be on the second floor! Let's keep our voices down."

He opened the door, looked around, and walked in with his legs up.Most of the space on the first floor is empty, except for places such as the bar, which are slightly blocked, there is no one in sight.

"Very well, they must be upstairs! Chuck, get the crossbow ready!"

The two set up their crossbows and walked upstairs along the stairs.

Of course, there was also no one upstairs.

"Supari! Something's wrong here! Not in the room, and not here! The news from Nemorpheus is wrong!"

Chuck cried out in horror.

"Shut up! We haven't searched this place yet...Look!" Supari pointed his finger at the piano anxiously, "That thing looks weird, doesn't it? How many people can hide in such a big place!"

"what is that?"

"Check it out! Hold your crossbow steady!" Supari yelled as he approached the piano.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a muffled groan coming from behind him, turned his head hastily, and found that Chuck had been knocked to the ground, and the crossbow in his hand had not had time to retract.And Lu Ning just stepped on the last step and was walking towards him.

"you!"

Supari screamed, raised his crossbow and shot an arrow at Lu Ning!
Almost at the same time as his movement, Lu Ning also raised her arm and placed it across her chest. The crossbow arrow hit her arm, and was bounced away with a sound of metal collision.

"How could it be?" Supari was a little flustered, trying to draw out the crossbow and reload it, and only realized that it wasn't the time to do it halfway through the action. He hurriedly wanted to draw the weapon from his waist again, but Pingna and Golius had already rushed forward. , it took only five seconds for the two of them to press him firmly to the ground.

"Joe, how is it?" Lu Ning turned her wrist, glanced at the small arrow hole on the sleeve, and asked.

Joe had already poured a bottle of water for Chuck, and immediately replied: "It's done! I have a star now!"

"Observe for any adverse reactions. Maoyou, search."

"okay!"

In the hands of a professional thief, Chuck was searched except for the innermost suit.

"This camouflage is pretty good, it looks like it's the same product as ours. Too bad Lu Ning! This kid has a spider sentry on him!"

"Not his."

Maoyou smashed the little robot to pieces. Seeing that Chuck seemed to wake up, he immediately knocked Chuck unconscious again with a knife.

"You can't run away! The mercenaries will come and catch you soon!"

"They actually chose someone as stupid as you to investigate, that is to say, they can't tell a few people out at the moment. Probably because they realized that their current strength is not enough, and they prioritize accumulating stars." Lu Ning didn't care about Supari's threat at all. , "If you shout any more, your hand will be cut off."

"I'm sorry! I was also forced to be helpless! They are so cruel and cruel! We dare not not listen..."

"That arrow you shot in my heart wasn't bad."

"It was my fault! I didn't think much of it at the time, but I knew I was wrong! Please don't kill me! Give me another chance... I can show you the way! I know where the mercenaries are hiding!"

Maoyou finished flipping Chuck, walked to the side of Supari who was being held down, knelt down and knocked on his forehead.

"Street?"

"You...you are also from the street? It's a small offense! Please give me another chance, even if I'm a bullshit..."

"I don't need the information you provide. And I can't believe a word you say." Lu Ning walked to the piano and glanced at the buttons inside. If it wasn't for this thing to be discovered, she might not know it. Come out early to clean up these two people.

"Then, then I can..."

"Check his instrument to see if there are any stars left." Lu Ning said.

Hearing this sentence, Supari struggled violently, but the combination of Golius and Pingna was not something he could break free from. He kept cursing, obviously knowing that he was dying, so he No more hiding.Maoyou turned on the instrument on his arm, then nodded to Lu Ning: "There are no stars."

"Gorius, kill and inherit the props."

Golius carried out Lu Ning's order without the slightest hesitation.

"What about that person?"

After dealing with Supari, Maoyou pointed to Chuck who was still in a coma.

"Tie it up and throw it here, inside the piano." Lu Ning pointed.

"What? That's not..."

"When he wakes up and finds himself in that situation, there is a button next to his head. No matter what it is, he will try it to survive. Unless the group of mercenaries will really come to save people."

"Won't they?" Pinna asked.

"These two people are here to test our strength level. After all, Maoyou and I fought a surprise attack before. Therefore, the mercenaries probably won't come, but the priority is to improve our own strength. I think, now Some people should have reached the level of exchanging second-level props."

"So soon?"

"After all, if you only take low-star missions, you can quickly score points by defending a few mission machines. The number of mercenaries can do this. Gorius, what have you inherited?"

"spray."

"It seems that what you exchanged yourself was also a spray?"

"Uh...the mission is not progressing." Golius scratched his head.

"It's okay, there's still a chance." Lu Ning waited for a few people to tie up Chuck and throw him into the piano, but there was no sound. As expected, this piano was just a fake.

"Let's get out of here right away, the farther the better."

"But what if someone breaks in by accident?" Maoyou asked.

"Then face the difficulty of unlocking the weather. Do I have to think about everything for everyone?"
