Chapter 471
There were quite a lot of people in the research institute, and it was impossible to take them all back in a car. Si Tiantian and Rong Xiu simply got a bus to load everyone and take them away.
A group of old professors, researchers and graduate students who had not left the institute for a long time leaned against the windows, looking at the white scenery outside and the houses collapsed and covered by snow, and sighed repeatedly.
"It's only been a few days since I last saw the outside world and it's become like this."
"There are almost no people left on this road. It's all a scam."
"When I used to take this road, there were often traffic jams. Now we are the only car on the road, and the traffic has become even more congested."
"It's like a haunted city!"
Si Qian comforted him, "Teacher, don't worry. Sooner or later, we will make a comeback and revitalize human society. This is only temporary."
The other ambitious graduate students in the car also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, we humans will take this place back sooner or later. Let these monsters be arrogant for now, and when we return, they won't have the chance to be arrogant anymore."
However, the field team's words poured cold water on them.
"Why do I see more ghosts wandering around than before? Yesterday, when we went out to check, we only saw one ghost every fifty steps. Most of them were scattered, rarely gathering in groups. Why is it a little different today? Not to mention the ghosts wandering around every three steps, we've encountered nine ghosts in the group. If it weren't for Si's sister and her boyfriend clearing the way, we would have been surrounded and killed by these ghosts before we even got far from the research institute."
"Is the strange invasion getting worse?"
Si Tiantian and Rong Xiu also felt something unusual. There were indeed more monsters outside, more than three times more than when they came here before. Although they were only E-level, D-level and C-level monsters, and there were no particularly high-level dangerous monsters, the number was obviously not right. They understood the principle that many ants can kill an elephant.
Although they have no problem dealing with A-level ghosts now, it doesn't mean they have no problem encountering a large group of ghosts.
The two of them also became tense and looked out the window vigilantly.
For a moment, a silent and tense atmosphere spread in the car, and everyone's face became more gloomy.
"Look, what's in front of us?"
Suddenly, a terrified cry was heard in the quiet car. A research staff member raised his hand and pointed forward. A cloud of red blood mist was rushing towards them, like the mouth of a giant beast attacking them. The logistics team member who was driving had no time to retreat. He could only slam on the brakes when the whole car was swallowed by the red blood mist.
At the same time, perhaps it touched the bus broadcast, a harsh sound was heard, and intermittent voices came from the broadcast.
"Zi... General public, please pay attention, Zi... General public, please pay attention, red blood mist has appeared in many places, and it will randomly drag people into any game dungeon. The dungeon may be A-level or even S-level, and the probability of death is extremely high. If you encounter red blood mist, please escape as soon as possible, please escape as soon as possible... Zi..."
Before the broadcast was over, Si Tiantian had already disappeared from her seat.
The next second, a system notification sound rang in her ears.
[Ding Dong—Welcome to the weird game.]
[This instance is: City Defense Battle.]
[Difficulty: S.]
[Current number of survivors: 20/20.]
[Main Quest: Help the Qingyi Army recapture Lanju City, which was occupied by the Lieyan Army. There is no time limit. You can leave the dungeon only after completing the quest.]
[Side Quest: Find the spy lurking in the Qingyi Army.]
As soon as the system prompt sounded, Si Tiantian felt a dangerous breath coming the next second. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw a big claw grabbing towards her. Her heart skipped a beat and her body quickly leaned back, falling sideways to the ground, and then rolled away from her original position.
"Pfft-"
The hard nails dug into the ground, crushing the bluestone slabs and leaving five deep claw marks on the ground.
Si Tiantian's eyes widened, and she was still frightened. This was a kill from the start!
It’s worthy of being an S-level copy, it’s so exciting as soon as it comes in!
Then she quickly got up and glanced around. It seemed that she was on a battlefield. In front of her was a tall and majestic city wall with the words "Lan Ju City" written on it. The city gate was closed at this time, and outside the city gate were ghosts tied with red and green ribbons fighting everywhere.
The sounds of fighting and shouting continued, and there were all kinds of broken limbs and strange weapons dropped on the ground, which showed how brutal the battle was.
Fortunately, she was not in the center of the melee at this time, but in a remote corner a little far from the city gate. The closest to her was the tall and deformed ghost with a red ribbon tied on his arm, who had killed her with a claw at the beginning. The rest of the ghosts were five steps away from her, fighting in a melee and didn't pay attention to her.
Otherwise, she would have been trampled to death when she was rolling on the ground just now.
During the few seconds when she was distracted, the tall and deformed monster caught up with her again. The tentacles on its head turned into long whips and lashed towards her at such a fast speed that the trajectory of the whip was almost invisible to the naked eye. Si Tiantian dodged left and right in a panic, but was still hit several times. However, she was not injured because of the safety jade.
But this is not a solution. The Peace Jade is not omnipotent, and this is on the battlefield, with many attacks. Sooner or later, the Peace Jade will be used up.
The most important thing is that the tall and deformed ghost in front of her is not ordinary. It is already an A-level ghost. It is difficult for her to escape under its deliberate siege.
Si Tiantian had an idea. Since the naked eye couldn't capture the trajectory of the whip, what about using mental power?
She did it right away. She closed her eyes immediately and urged her mental power to probe outside. Then she was delighted. It really worked. She "saw" it, which was much clearer than what she saw with the naked eye. However, she still could not fully see through all the trajectories. She concentrated her mental power. The whip had 10 strokes, and she could only see the 9th stroke. She could not see the trajectory of the 10th stroke.
Then he rested for one second, refocused his mental strength and continued to "watch". It was still the same. He could only watch 9 times and could not see the 10th time.
But even so, it was much better than what she saw with the naked eye before. Her body began to move, and she dodged the first 9 hits. She dodged the 10th hit by relying on her own feeling, but failed. With a snap, a piece of peace jade broke again. She continued to try, but the same thing happened. She was hit again on the 10th hit.
Si Tiantian bared her teeth, took out the agility talisman she had just drawn the day before from the space, and slapped herself with it, five times in a row.
Afterwards, she felt that she was as light as a swallow, with fast speed and her mental judgment gradually made her proficient. After a minute of adaptation, she was finally able to avoid the treacherous whip.
The tall and deformed monster looked at the little flea jumping around in front of it, and now it couldn't hit it at all. It immediately became angry, put away the whip, raised its claws, walked towards Si Tiantian and grabbed it hard.
Si Tiantian's eyes lit up. The opportunity had come. Her space blade was already ready to go. The closer it was to her, the more powerful the space blade would be.
When the tall and deformed monster was three steps away from Si Tiantian, its claws fell down and the space blade immediately chopped over.
"Pfft-"
There was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing through flesh. The tall and deformed monster had one of its arms cut off by the space blade, and it cried out in pain.
