Simulator: Global Myths Come

Chapter 167 Pathfinder

Cao Zheng felt that it would be better to rest here for a while, mainly to wait for the cooling of the simulator to end, and to see what was at the end of the passage before making any plans.

So he took out the beach chair again and laid a cushion on it.

The man's pupils shrank, and he really didn't understand why there was such a thing in Cao Zheng's warehouse.

"Brother, let's talk." Cao Zheng felt a little bored, and happened to have many doubts to ask.

"Why are you so hungry? It's like going crazy when you see food."

After Luan translated Cao Zheng's words, the mood of the man opposite him became abnormal visibly to the naked eye.He jumped up suddenly, pointing at Cao Zheng's crazy output.

Cao Zheng frowned and looked at Luan, wondering why this group of people hated him so much?This is the case outside the cave, and it is still the case for the people who were rescued by him.

Listening to the man's narration, Luan's expression gradually changed from curiosity to shock, and finally there was even a trace of sympathy.

"Hey, what did he say?" Cao Zheng couldn't help asking.

"He said... they have been on this island for three months, and they have eaten all they can eat. He asked why you brought everyone to this place, and where did you go?"

Looking at the excited look of the man in front of him who was about to spit out several meters of saliva, Cao Zheng knew that Luan's translation was still reserved.

But he didn't bother to pay attention to the question he scolded himself a few times, because everyone was shocked by a time point.

"Three months?"

Cao Zheng was stunned, and strongly suspected that he had lost a certain memory, but it is impossible for three people to lose their memory at the same time, right?

So he turned to Luan to confirm, "We were delayed for half an hour at most, right?"

Luan nodded slowly, as if thinking of a certain possibility.

"It should be because the time flow is different." Ying Long suddenly explained, "It's like every time you enter a mythical plot, it seems to me that only a moment has passed."

"It means... we just disappeared for three months?" Cao Zheng's head grew dizzy.

It is estimated that if the ranking of myths had not been dropped, Mr. Zhao might have already picked a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to set up a tomb for himself.

Cao Zheng quickly took out his mobile phone, but there was no signal as expected.Then he cast his eyes on Luan, and asked tentatively, "Bi Fang has definitely left you with something behind, right? Hurry up and take it out, the situation is a bit complicated now."

Luan was shocked for two seconds, still thinking about how Cao Zheng guessed this matter.Then she took out a satellite phone with a black casing from her arms and tried to operate it.

"No, the signal in the cave is too weak, we have to find a way to go out." Luan said while fiddling with the phone helplessly.

"Okay, let's rest for a while and look forward to see what is at the end of this cave." Cao Zheng threw a bag of bread to the man and watched him stuff it into his mouth hungrily.

"I'm so hungry, what's the matter..." Cao Zheng looked at him helplessly, feeling that Shinhwa Game had played a joke on everyone again.

Taking this opportunity, he discovered another drawback of a simulator.This thing can only predict the end of the plot, and what happens in the real world after that is out of its control.

This is not the first time.If it were more realistic, I would have been cheated in this way when I traveled from the original world to this place.

"Forget it, compared to other players, I'm already lucky..." Cao Zheng comforted himself softly.

After choking all the bread into his throat, the man looked at Cao Zheng expectantly, hoping that he would have something to eat.

He was really hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have considered digging out the starfish to make soup.

But Cao Zheng ignored his gaze.It wasn't because he was reluctant, the food in his Mythical Miaomiao House was enough for a long, long time.

The main reason is that Cao Zheng was afraid that he would starve to death, after all he had been hungry for so long.If you suddenly eat a lot of Hesse, there will definitely be problems.

"I'll give it to you later, don't worry, as long as you follow me, you will definitely have something to eat." Cao Zheng stabilized the man's emotions.

Cao Zheng was a little skeptical. Those four players who were hostile to him just now really planned to arrest and cook him, right?
The cave fell silent instantly, everyone looked in different directions and thought about different things in their hearts.

Finally, under Cao Zheng's gaze, the simulator ended its cooling.

【Simulation starts】

[You walk into a passage, and there seem to be many strange creatures in front of you. 】

[What's even more frightening is that they don't seem to be dead yet. 】

[The passage behind you has been blocked, so you have to lead everyone forward. 】

[You move along the winding passage, and there are more and more strange creatures around you, and they are getting bigger and bigger. 】

[Fortunately, they have no signs of awakening. 】

【The man you rescued was completely honest, and carefully followed behind you, for fear of waking any creature here. 】

Seeing this, Cao Zheng was relieved.What is the scariest thing in horror fiction?It's pig teammates.

It is clear that you can pass the level without injury, but some authors with no level will always increase the difficulty of the game forcibly, and make one of the supporting characters who seem annoying to die with their lives.

Then the game officially starts, and the protagonist's suitability depends entirely on the author's mood.

Cao Zheng believes that there shouldn't be such a foolish mental illness in the real world... right?

[You see a huge stone gate with a red five-pointed star hanging in front of you. 】

[This is the only way to the front, but the sculptures on both sides of the stone gate look very strange. 】

[The surrounding oxygen is getting thinner and thinner, you must make a decision immediately, you decide...]

[Option [-]: Destroy the statue]

[Option [-]: Try to push the door]

[Option [-]: Dig a tunnel under the stone gate]

Cao Zheng hesitated again.

This is the territory of American players, and Cao Zheng's spiritual power will be deducted at every turn.Therefore, Cao Zheng is very careful in every decision, for fear of suffering irreparable losses.

"I choose to let the player who has just been rescued open the door." Cao Zheng ignored the three options and input a seemingly cold-blooded but actually very smart choice.

Anyway, if this person dies in the simulator, his spiritual power will not be deducted. He is a natural pathfinding bait.

[The man approached Shimen cursingly, and the moment his palm touched it, he was sucked into a skeleton, and the sculpture that was done twice seemed to be a little more animated. 】

【In this situation, you decide...】

[Option [-]: Destroy the statue]

[Option [-]: Try to push the door]

[Option [-]: Dig a tunnel under the stone gate]

The pressure came to Cao Zheng again, and it seemed that he had to take some risky actions.

——Wait, there seems to be another plan.

Although it's a bit unkind, but who said that there is only one bait around him?

"I choose to let Luan attack those two statues." Cao Zheng said bravely.

【Luan looked at you in shock, and after confirming that you were serious, she approached one of the statues without hesitation. 】

Cao Zheng felt that his old face was burning like hell, but there must be someone to try and make mistakes, right?
"Luan, you can go with peace of mind. I will treat you well in the real world." He eased his guilt with some scumbag speech.

[Luan's hand emits a blue light, and a ball of energy flies towards the sculpture's head. 】

[The attack disappears instantly when it lands on the sculpture, and the attacked sculpture suddenly opens its eyes. 】

[The sculpture opened its mouth little by little, and a cloud of black air instantly enveloped Luan. 】

Cao Zheng knew that something was wrong, and attacking the statue was obviously a trap option.

【Luan can no longer make a sound, and tremblingly stretches out his right hand towards you, his eyes full of expectation for you. 】

Cao Zheng took a deep breath and told himself that this was just a simulation, Luan would never die in the real world.

However, the final result of the attack on the statue has not yet appeared, and Cao Zheng's action now is equivalent to wasting an opportunity.

"This is just a simulation, this is just a simulation." Cao Zheng covered his eyes with his palms, admonishing himself over and over again.

【Luan seems to understand your plan. 】

【She came to the stone gate with difficulty and recovered her body, pushing forward with all her strength. 】

【Luan turns into a black bird skeleton, and the stone door is pushed open a gap, barely allowing you in the form of an orange cat to pass through. 】

[Two things fell from the right hand of Luan's corpse, which are Bi Fang's Mythical Miao Miao House and a satellite phone. 】

【The door has been pushed open, you decide...】

[Option [-]: Drill directly]

[Option [-]: Destroy the statue]

— plop

Cao Zheng fell to the ground and gasped for breath.Although there are only a few lines of deduction, he feels that a century has passed.

Should he praise Luan for his selfless dedication, or should he reflect on his own cold-bloodedness?
Maybe both.

In short, Cao Zheng's mind is in a mess, and he can't think about other things for the time being.

Even in the simulator, cheating teammates really has to bear a huge psychological burden, especially this kind of teammates who have no complaints.

After an unknown amount of time passed, Cao Zheng slowly stood up.He seemed to have fallen asleep, and seemed to have emptied his brain.

In short, he pushed up the text on the simulated light curtain, and temporarily forgot what he had just done in this deceiving way.

"Go in, let's see what's behind." Although the gate has not been completely passed, Cao Zheng can only hope for a small reward after passing the pass.

Any useful props are fine, don't add charm to yourself, this stuff is useless.

【You barely got into the stone gate, the world inside the gate is completely different from the passage. 】

[The creatures we just saw in the passage were soaked in huge jars, and their body size was only about two meters. 】

[In the center of the jar is a silver-white stove, and a gray-white flame is burning quietly. 】

[Although that thing looks like a flame, the closer you get, the colder it gets. 】

"Good guy, cold spirit, right?" Cao Zheng burst out laughing, it turns out that art does come from life.

[You circled around this area, but didn't find a way to leave here. 】

Cao Zheng exploded at that time, "Good guy, I couldn't leave when I didn't come in, and I still couldn't leave after I came in. Isn't Luan's death in vain?"

The simulator doesn't describe anything else in detail, which means that the only key props are the starfish jar and the stove in the middle.

Maybe this is one of the benefits of text adventures?You will always get more leads than you actually need.

Cao Zheng felt that the key was still on the stove. Anyway, those who deserved death were already dead, and he didn't want to live anymore, so let's die early and remake it.

"Slash that stove with lightning!" Cao Zheng was already mentally prepared.

Even if he really deducted his mental strength, he would accept his fate.

[Lightning strikes the furnace flame. 】

【Absorbed a huge amount of energy, the furnace emitted a more piercing cold air, and the surrounding temperature became lower and lower. 】

【You decide……】

It was another position with no options, and the simulator was quietly waiting for Cao Zheng's voice input.

Cao Zheng, who saw the plot above, felt no fluctuation in his heart, and even wanted to hold Newton's coffin firmly.

After absorbing energy, it becomes colder... Even if Newton is still alive, he must be pissed off to death, right?
Not necessarily, maybe he will devote himself to the field of theology earlier, who knows what kind of special ability Newton in this world has?
"Continue to strike with lightning, I want to see what this stove is!" Cao Zheng also got serious with this thing.

Anyway, if you don't lose your personal attributes, what are you afraid of?
【You wrapped yourself tightly with a quilt, lightning bolts struck the stove continuously, and the surrounding temperature became lower and lower. 】

[Finally, the gray-white flame rushed out of the stove, forming a white teleportation array in mid-air. 】

【Your right hand started to hurt again, you decided to...】

[Option [-]: Leave through the teleportation array]

[Option [-]: Waiting in place]

Cao Zheng didn't expect this plot at all. He thought the simulation was over and he had no choice but to leave.

But what happened to this option that appeared out of nowhere?What will happen if you stand still?
With this curiosity, Cao Zheng actually chose to wait in place.

It's not entirely out of curiosity.On the other hand, walking into this weird teleportation array means being teleported to a strange place again. Is that any different from my current situation?

[You chose to wait in place. 】

[After 3 minutes, the cave began to shake violently. 】

[A huge tentacle descended from the sky, entangled the furnace in one go. 】

[After a little force, the furnace was crushed into pieces by the giant tentacles, and a passage was opened above your head. 】

[You leave smoothly through the passage above your head. 】

——The ending: lost soldiers and generals——

【Score: B】

[Reward: Empathy Pill (After taking it, you will not feel guilty about doing anything)]

[The simulator enters cooling...]

[Next deduction time: 12h]

Cao Zheng felt that he had been ridiculed by the simulator, and the props rewarded this time were also very painful. It seemed that he had to wait another twelve hours before re-running.

When he opened his eyes again, Cao Zheng immediately looked in Luan's direction.

"What's wrong?" Luan also noticed Cao Zheng's gaze and asked strangely.
