Seeing this mission description, Qin Zhibo had a bad feeling in his heart.

This is the first time Qin Zhibo has heard such a saying about challenging main missions.

Since it is a challenging mainline task, the biggest difference between it and the mainline task is that there is a time limit.

On the bright side, having a time limit means that at most the task will fail when it times out, and there will be no situation where a mainline task cannot be completed and subsequent tasks will be stuck.

On the downside, the time limit means that the task difficulty increases.

As for the mission location
Qin Zhibo turned on the electronic map of the navigator, and a red coordinate that was not there before really lit up on the huge map.

The red coordinates are about 70 kilometers away from the current location of Qin Zhibo in a straight line. Strictly speaking, it is not very far, but it is far beyond the scope of Mihua City.

And what caught Qin Zhibo the most was that there were two words in the task description given by the system.

One is "Graveyard" and the other is "Survival".

cemetery.

Obviously, the location specified by the challenge mission is a cemetery.

survive.

It shows that staying here for one night may encounter some kind of threat, even rising to the level of survival.

"Spend a night in a cemetery and survive"

"I'm going to think about it."

Qin Zhibo began to pace back and forth in the office, thinking whether he should choose to accept this task.

It's nothing to stay in the cemetery for one night. Qin Zhibo, who has an iron will, does not have the slightest psychological pressure.

Just what does it mean to survive?
Is it pure wild survival, or is there some other "dirty thing"?
After experiencing the main task of the museum last time, Qin Zhibo understood one thing.

There may or may be some supernatural beings in this world.

They are rare, they are secluded, they are otherworldly.

In the common cognition of human beings, they should only be a page of sketches in a fantasy work, or an unknown painting by an unknown artist, or a misty legend passed down by the older generation.

They shouldn't exist.

But they do exist.

Perhaps, as a famous saying goes, human beings live on an island called "ignorance", surrounded by a black ocean full of unknowns.

It's just that I want to set sail this time and meet the "unknown" for a while?

Qin Zhibo: Huh?Whose famous saying is this?How would I know?

After a rational analysis of the brain, Qin Zhibo felt that 72 hours of task time was relatively rich.

Although I have to spend one night in the cemetery, I still have two days and one night to prepare in advance.

Even if you feel that things are not going well after you get there, it should be fine to opt out.

So... it's over!

When he woke up in the morning, Qin Zhibo quickly put up a sign that the office was closed, and went out to prepare various supplies.

The mission location shown on the navigator is a deserted mountain, so at least buy various wild survival materials first.

Tents, camping lights, compressed food, flashlights, kettles.
After the wild survival materials are purchased, the rest are "survival materials".

Qin Zhibo needs some proper weapons.

At present, the only thing Qin Zhibo can prepare in advance is physical exorcism.

In physical exorcism, Qin Zhibo's Krav Maga, kendo, and firearms are fairly smooth.

Among them, there is no need to prepare anything for Krav Maga, just go with your hands and feet.

Kendo needs a knife, and firearms needs a gun.

But unfortunately, both of these are strictly controlled weapons in Japan. If you want to own them, you need to register with the police station and explain the specific use.

The bamboo knife can be brought casually, but this thing is not lethal at all.

If you encounter a person with a good constitution, it is almost the same as scratching an itch.

So after careful consideration, Qin Zhibo chose the crowbar that he used very well in the library last time.

For some reason, since he used the crowbar last time, Qin Zhibo felt that this black, hard, long, and curved guy was tailor-made for him.

And more importantly, carrying a crowbar is not against the law!

With all the supplies ready, Qin Zhibo got on the bus to the suburbs [-] kilometers away.

Sitting near the car window, Qin Zhibo looked up at the sky, and found that the sky was overcast and cloudy, and it seemed that there would be a rain soon.

This is not a good thing for Qin Zhibo.

Because Qin is now taking the last bus of the day, if he wants to go back, he will have to wait until tomorrow at least.

In other words, even if you don't go to the mission location to do the mission today, you will have to spend the night outside.

From the navigator, the vicinity of the mission location is a place where there is no village and no shop.

Seems like hell started?

As the bus drove, batch after batch of passengers got off the bus.

When we got to the place where Qin Zhibo should get off, it happened to be the terminus of the whole bus line, and Qin Zhibo was the only passenger on the bus.

Qin Zhibo picked up the crowbar at his feet, and was about to walk out from the opened car door when the driver behind him spoke.

"Should I wait for you to come back?"

"What?" Qin Zhibo was a little puzzled.

The middle-aged driver on the seat turned his face and explained: "According to the rules, I have to wait here for 10 minutes before starting again."

"But today including you, a total of three passengers sat at this terminal."

"The other two passengers have already said that they will not leave today, so as long as you don't leave, I don't have to wait any longer."

Qin Zhibo understood what the driver said.

Feelings, the driver wanted to save trouble and wanted to drive away directly at the terminal.

However, these words of the driver provided Qin Zhibo with some information. Since someone came and didn't leave that day, it means...
"Is there any village near here?"

"No."

The driver's categorical words completely shattered Qin Zhibo's hopes.

"There is no village and still set up a terminal here?"

"Not now." The driver took off the hat on his head and slapped it in front of his face. "It used to be."

"About ten years ago, there was a small village in this mountain."

"Later, people in the village got an infectious disease and almost died, so there was no one left."

"It's really strange to say that no one usually sits at this terminal, but today including you, there are three."

"The other two were a little girl and a little boy"

"Could it be that there is a villa in this deep mountain?"

Social skills (eloquence) were activated, and the driver chattered again and said something unrelated to Qin Zhibo's problem.

　Thanks to Dark[Rider] for the reward!
