Returning from the abyss

Chapter 407 Unstoppable
What's worse than four A-rank bosses?five.

Lu Ning regretted not asking William about the details of the crisis before.And Levanska looked a little dignified after reading it.

"Lu, if we bring Ba and the winter solstice, vernal equinox, etc. into one place..."

"I'm already thinking about it. But Levanska, before I do that, have you ever heard of this event in history that can be described as a 'nova'?"

"...It's hard to say. In the era of White Night, there was rarely more than 20 years of peace. Conquest and war were the main theme, and a lot of history was lost in it. After the period, is the establishment of our present... city."

"What if this represents the present?" Lu Ning said, "Or, what if this crisis represents the Four Seasons Garden itself?"

"Do you think that monsters in the fourth crisis will not be attacked by other crisis monsters?"

"After all, the collective teleportation of the third crisis has already broken the habit, so it's okay to break it a little more, isn't it?"

"But that's not an excuse for us not to try."

Levanska glanced at the elevator button, as if he wanted to see how long the waiting period was, but he froze for a moment.

"Countdown..."

"What?" Lu Ning followed his gaze, and found that the number representing the cooling time on the elevator had started to jump irregularly. Naturally, it was impossible for the elevator to open in this state.

"Don't bother."

Walking along the corridor came a man carrying a grenade launcher. Lu Ning had seen him by Cheng Wuling's side before, but he didn't know where this man was after that.However, judging from the traces on his body, it looks like he has experienced several battles.

"You are……"

"My name is Zhongfu, the ranger on the city wall." The man shrugged his shoulders, "Should you not be those skeletons covered in human skin? This thing is really difficult to deal with."

The one trapped by Lu Ning was obviously next to him, and this person was clearly asking questions knowingly.Both Levanska and Lu Ning could see it, but they didn't know what he meant.

"My name is Levanska."

"I've heard of your name." Zhongfu shook his hand, "But it seems that there are not many people left in the team you formed? I hope you, the captain, have not forgotten to improve your own strength... We said Where are you? Yes, the door, I can’t open the card.”

"You know what's going on?"

"The effect of the summer solstice. That guy can continue to affect our instruments, right? His own ability also affects all the interactive tools he passes by, not only elevators, supply points, arsenals that require data input, and even mission machines. .”

Zhongfu turned around and swiped with his hand.

"Everything on the road I've come from doesn't work."

"But you look so relaxed?" Levanska stared at him. "How can we be sure that you are not from those bones?"

"Oh, they won't bleed even if they put on skins, or they can only squeeze out some semi-coagulated blood clots." Zhongfu raised his arm, and there was a piece of white cloth that was not too thick, and blood stained a part of the white cloth. , "This is the injury I got when I was attacked just now, and it happens to prove my identity."

Levanska glanced at Lu Ning, who also nodded.

"If all the interactive tools can't be used, many of us will be restricted." Levanska frowned, "Even support will become very difficult. The battle in the Spring Garden is thanks to our ability to catch up in time Only then can those ancient heroes be dealt with separately, but now..."

"The four chiefs have pinched our lifeblood." Lu Ning said, "The weapons and props we rely on for survival, and the enemies we can destroy through certain sacrifices, these two most critical things are our ability to survive in a crisis But now there will be more and more enemies, and the things in our hands will be consumed faster, and the garden will no longer open the way for us, this crisis is already on the verge of the limit of what we can handle."

"We can't let the fifth crisis come, we have to escape early." Zhongfu seemed to be a little tired from carrying the howitzer, so he leaned on the ground, "Let's be smart, don't talk secretly, Lu Ning, you Knowing Cheng Wuling, I heard about you from her. From the bottom of my heart, I don't agree with Cheng Wuling's plan that sounds similar to 'seeing the world'. But who made me owe her something? ? And you, you just want to compete with her this time, right?"

Lu Ning listened to Zhongfu's direct clarification, and immediately glanced at Levanska.

"What do you think he is doing? Cheng Wuling has confirmed his identity, and this guy might know you, otherwise he wouldn't have let you join the team so easily."

Levanska touched her nose lightly.

"So you want me..." Lu Ning decided to answer Zhongfu's question first.

"It is to let Cheng Wuling back out. Otherwise, she will die and I can only accompany her who weighs more than 100 catties." Zhongfu spread his hands, "Don't tell me you don't have the confidence, just say you want to share You should be a little bit prepared to say something like this.”

"Preparation is multi-faceted, and letting Cheng Wuling know the difficulty is more difficult than defeating her directly." Lu Ning would not listen to him directly, "You also have a fifth-level prop, right? Instead of asking me to do this, Just change the script and let the three of you break away?"

"Tsk... Not to mention that if I do this, I won't dare to enter the same scene with her. With her sense of self-management, if she finds that she has the idea of ​​leaving early, she might not immediately change the script and give it to her." Overwrite."

"So she's already counted?"

"That's not right. Of course, now is a good opportunity, but unfortunately my store is also locked."

"Leave that aside for now... Do you really think it's time to discuss the issue of separation?" Levanska had to interrupt the conversation between the two, "Even though she has already got [-] stars, we are still stuck. In a crisis, the first thing to be solved is the crisis problem right now?"

"It's good that you have such a heart, but this crisis probably won't be resolved." Zhongfu glanced at him, then at Lu Ning, "Didn't you tell him?"

"I just killed a counterfeit, and you came over after saying a few words."

"What haven't you said yet?" Levanska frowned.

"The three-quarters trigger condition is not only applicable to this, when the death toll reaches three-quarters, it will also trigger the NO.16 trap crisis."

Levanska was silent for a moment, then asked: "So how many people are left?"

"It's not much, and it's estimated that it won't be too late to drop below forty."

"Speaking of this... Cheng Wuling used the Domeku to count the number of people before. The number of survivors in this garden is 160, which is inconsistent with the 150 seven people originally broadcast. Do you know what happened to the extra three? ?”

In fact, Lu Ning and Levanska can't answer this question.

"A traitor?" Levanska glanced at Lu Ning.

"No..." Lu Ning took a deep breath, "There is something we all forgot."

This is a confrontational scene.

Before this, Lu Ning had never even realized the core of the problem. The confrontation scene, after the mission prompt stated that it was a single-player confrontation, and after understanding that the scene was a battle royale, Lu Ning subconsciously thought that it was a single-player fight. The meaning of confrontation.

But in retrospect, which confrontation scene was not assigned an identity?
And this time, her identity has been mentioned countless times, and even Lu Ning is playing the role in a decent way...

Alleys, streets, city walls, and pavilions.

Tourists from each region, because of their different identities and backgrounds and the reasons for entering the Four Seasons Garden, this identity is at most taken out to disguise themselves.

"It's... the 'mastermind'."

She spoke first.

"The confrontation scene must endow the conflict of identity, and this time our conflict is not the survivors in the garden, but the conflict between the five circles of living areas with different states outside the garden. Those three people should be from 'Mastermind', so it will not be counted by the Four Seasons Garden, which belongs to the Mastermind. It may even be..."

She stopped here, did not continue to speak, but glanced at Levanska.

"Who do you think? There are very few suspicious targets now, right?"

"So those three people must all be tourists?"

"Levanska!"

"...I know who you want to say, but we have no evidence to doubt our teammates."

"Then why is it that Shi Ming is the core, but let Shan Lianmei take charge of all communication matters?"

"If they really are, why do they do such a suspicious thing? And now they are the ones who have completed the unlocking of the Summer Garden! Isn't it better for them that the crisis comes as soon as possible?"

"...Dakron is right to say that you are naive in some aspects." Lu Ning shook her head, "I hope you think it through."

"I doubt the identities of Shiming and the others, but I haven't reached the point where I think they are enemies. If there is any evidence, I will be the first to act." Levanska pursed her lips, as if she was also making a painful choice. "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want to doubt any of my companions."

"...you know me." Lu Ning changed the subject.

Levanska looked up.

"You didn't know me directly, but you heard about me from someone. People are divided into groups. Among the people I have met, there are not many people like you." Lu Ning looked at him, "You're not a member of our organization, so... Carl and Robert?"

"The world is really small, isn't it?" After everything was said, Levanska was relieved.

"You let me join the team at the beginning, because you wanted to avenge Karl?"

"I'm not so narrow-minded enough to seek revenge because of winning or losing in the confrontation scene. Robert told me that your victory is wonderful."

"so you……"

"I recognize your strength, so what's wrong with recruiting you into the team? Lu Ning, Karl made his choice, and I respect his choice. There is no room for you here."

"Sorry, I was overthinking."

"Can you two do it? Shouldn't it be time to discuss..."

"There are too many things to discuss now." Lu Ning wrenched her fingers, "The current crisis needs to reduce the enemy's strength a little bit, and the upcoming NO.16 trap crisis also needs to consider countermeasures. Those three unidentified people, and the task you gave me to drive away Cheng Wuling in advance is even more difficult than leaving in advance."

"You say that as a promise?"

"Promising and being able to do it are two different things."

=============================
At the opposite corner from Lu Ning and the others, Zhefu and his calm mercenary partner ran desperately.

The third companion in the same group had already died. The death came so quickly that they didn't even have time to defend themselves. The companion became an abstract painting on the wall.

"Old gun! What kind of monster is that!"

"Bodyguard." Even now, Lao Qiang still looked calm, and even dragged Zhefu to help him run faster.

"So the attacker who attacked us was a survivor? Impossible! Let's not talk about the things that make up the bodyguards, and those things can't be too far away from people!"

Lao Qiang chuckled: "What is that pile of stuff? Isn't it a weapon? All kinds of weapons are put together now."

As soon as the voice fell, a barrage of bullet screens swept over from behind.

"Weapons? War robots are about the same! This firepower can almost catch up with last year's mopping up operation... How long do you have to move the barrier, old gun?"

"86 seconds, oh, it should be 43 seconds now."

"That's over!"

"Why panic, there are 43 seconds left."

Lao Qiang waited for the rain of bullets to be stopped by the mobile barrier and then turned it off immediately. While running, he said leisurely: "If the store hadn't been locked, I could at least buy two more of them and continue to hold that guy back."

"What time is it, why are you in no hurry?"

"I'm in a hurry." Lao Qiang touched his pocket, "Zhefu, you are a little short in the industry, but you don't lack courage, you can't move your mind, right?"

"Then how do you deal with that thing in the back?"

"Deal with it? Obviously, the bodyguard is wearing the outer armor, and you can't hurt the people inside without breaking the shell. Do we have something that breaks the shell? No!"

"It's still over!"

While talking, the two of them had already run into the outer circle room of the small garden. There was a door connected to the garden, and they could go directly into the elevator room.

"Zeff, we have a ghost here."

"Aren't we just guilt..."

The old gun slapped Zhefu on the back of the head: "I'm talking about those who have not been counted among the survivors! Remember, you have to tell the leader that the inner ghost is killing people in the dark. We don't know what the purpose is, but it's definitely not What a good thing."

"Old Gun, even if you tell the leader, he will probably be happy to see this." Zeff whispered.

"He can make it difficult for others, but he has to take care of the remaining brothers. Hey, this elevator." Lao Qiang looked down at the button and found that the elevator could not be pressed at all, and the numbers continued to be confused.

The "war robot" has come to the door.

"Zeff, press it hard. If you press it when it hits zero, the elevator door will probably open." The old gun pulled Zhefu over, and then walked over to expand the barrier to block the door. The barrier is constantly being cut, but these weapons from the arsenal can't break through the defense of the props after all.

Zeff cursed and pressed the button hard, and soon his expression changed to panic, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his lips began to dry.

Lao Qiang continued to touch his pocket in a calm manner, and then sighed; "My nickname was originally Old Smoker, but the leader gave me that name when he asked me to quit smoking. What are you quitting..."

The moment the elevator door opened, it was time for the barrier. At the last moment when Zeff rushed into the elevator, he saw the old gun being torn apart by the metal storm, and also saw the only half of his face exposed in the metal pile.
