Chapter 233 Zootopia
"What are you still standing there for? Run!!!"
In the deep jungle, a battle royale has begun.
The security machine's alarm continued to sound and its red light flashed, but it still couldn't stop the ferocious beast.
"The boxes for security inspection are full! Spread out! Don't get close to the boxes!!"
Xiao Li was also screaming: "What kind of skills does she have? Why is she still releasing banned items? There are already nearly a thousand of them!!!"
This was probably the Waterloo of his security career. A lion could actually carry hundreds of cold weapons with him.
The players who thought they could do whatever they wanted and rub the lion to the ground after seeing Qiao Song’s size shrink and his weapons taken away found out that they were wrong.
Being smaller in size doesn't mean it's easier to deal with. This lion is very smart. The first person it dealt with was not Xiao Li who was operating the security system, but players who controlled some drones and a small number of long-range attacks.
As if he had guessed it long ago, Xiao Li, as a security inspector, would be heavily protected. Qiao Song kept calling him a marginal and fragile player.
After she became smaller, her size was similar to that of an ordinary Tibetan Mastiff. Among the other players, there were also some who could transform into carnivores. After the elephant, a leopard was directly torn apart by her.
The leopard's skill light spot just lit up and then it farted.
So cruel.
The players who had been hiding next to the boxes and maintaining the security checkpoint were now trembling with fear for their own safety.
"Sister Bao's professional skill is that of a gymnast. She is already the one with the best physical ability among us. She just didn't even use her skills..."
"Why are you crying? She's not really dead. She's entered the resurrection game. Sister Leopard won't sacrifice in vain. She left us other clues. That white box has never appeared before!"
This lioness was attacked by multiple players from the surrounding areas, and a lot of information was shared.
She had already sent away more than thirty players before, and this time the number is still increasing. The good news is that the deaths of those players before were all valuable.
Not only did he help others figure out some of the rules of the forest, but he also explored some of the lioness's skills.
Thank God, this lion may not have a very good memory now and doesn’t use props much.
Her physical abilities are made up of at least three kinds of animals. She has amazing physical strength and looks like a monster. It is almost impossible to confront her head-on.
Fortunately, although the skills of the lioness player are confusing, the toolbox that could continuously produce weapons was ultimately restricted by the security inspection skills.
The problem lies in this new white box.
Following the Leopard Woman, several players who were operating drones on the edge were ambushed by the Lion while using their skills, and the white box on her tail also absorbed the skill spots of these players.
At the same time, the lion that was restricted by security checks began to recover.
"This is simply relying on eating humans to improve physical fitness! Was this guy really a player before? This skill looks too villainous!"
Among the companions who were fleeing, some could not help but curse out loud.
After Qiao Song dealt with the drones at the edge, she began to look for her target. When others saw her rushing towards a certain location, they wanted to remind her but hesitated and retreated.
Qiao Song is pursuing Boss Cai.
And 10 minutes ago, after the security system lit up, Mr. Cai, who was not far from Xiao Li, was successfully touched by the security scanning light board.
[Ding——The current monitored object is detected to be in disguise. Please perform face recognition before entering the channel.]
At that moment, almost everyone realized that this guy named Wang Er had a fake face.
Smart people even remembered the effects of the lie detector.
What on earth does this guy, who can somehow fool a lie detector, want to do by sneaking into their group?
Boss Cai hadn't looked in the mirror yet and didn't realize that his face had turned into a different look that he was once very familiar with but later no longer wanted to remember.
The face of an ordinary man who looked decadent and cowardly, the skin below the neck had turned into crocodile skin.
Of course, Qiao Song didn't recognize this face, but she could smell the familiar smell of engine oil and the aroma of snacks in the air!
She was very hungry now. There were several kinds of food in this map that she had to eat, and this new guy was one of them. The fake ones she encountered before looked a bit like him, but the taste was different.
Qiao Song gritted his teeth and became more and more excited.
When Boss Cai realized that Qiao Song was staring at him, he couldn't help but curse.
He was originally trying to take advantage of the situation and was about to trick a few players into coming up to consume him, but the others looked at him strangely and actually avoided the agreement on mutual cooperation that had been made before!
These players are really abominable!
But when he turned around and saw the white box on Qiao Song's tail, Boss Cai's expression paused again.
strangeness.
He always felt that this thing looked familiar.
A white box that absorbs the white light from player skills.
Has he seen this scene somewhere before?
Soon, he didn't have time to think too much, because Qiao Song was such a fast runner that he had chased them back to the cabin where they started out and were about to reach the swamp!
Of course, the others ran in this direction on purpose, because the third wave of puppets to attract the lion's attention was about to appear.
Among them, half are dummies with square display screens.
Boss Cai's forehead was throbbing with veins.
Hold on, don't be angry, all this is used to deceive that idiot Qiao Song!
He thought so, but the lion Qiao Song who was chasing him was only attracted by that side at first, and then he caught hold of his butt and bit it without even looking away.
Damn! Qiao Song, you are a psychopath!!!
After his cuffs were nearly bitten by the lion, Boss Cai could no longer bear it, and suddenly large black cables sprouted out of his cuffs.
There was a flash of lightning. Not only Qiao Song, but also Xiao Li, who had been staring at this side, discovered that one of the lights on his security machine was not on.
"Wang Er, what are you doing? Can you look more carefully before you attack?"
Boss Cai is now thinking about crushing these people to death: "Useless things, don't you know to stay away from them?"
Although he was angry, others found that this guy seemed to be quite capable.
No matter who Lion met before, even if she used her skills, except for the security guard who restricted her slightly, other players were almost killed as soon as they met.
"Wait, Captain, the puppets we released seem to be useless. The lion didn't fall for it and is only chasing Wang Er!"
The original plan was to consume the lion's energy, lure her to the swamp, and then use the arrangements in the swamp, but now...
The leading player yelled:
"Wang Er! After a lion enters the swamp forest, its physical strength will be reduced by half. We have been hiding in the cabin before, and there is no master in this swamp. Now that you have turned into a complete crocodile, you are the master of the swamp!"
Boss Cai, who was running while protecting his butt and beating the lion with a cable, was about to burst into curses.
You are just telling me an important piece of information at this time. How could your purpose be simple? Do you have the nerve to use such a small trick in front of me?
Boss Cai was also surprised. There were so many guys with square display screens around Qiao Song, but she ignored any of them. At most, when those guys got too close, she would kick them away out of her patience.
It was as if he had guessed what Boss Cai was going to do.
What is it about me that attracts this damn plague god Qiao Song so much?
The female player holding the lie detector was wearing a half-body light mecha. She took out a lie prop card that she had traded before.
"I can let my companions use this card to check our status. This card is the one you traded with us, and you should know its authenticity."
Sure enough, someone next to her used a lie detection card on her.
"We have other arrangements in the swamp. We are just missing the owner of the swamp. We didn't tell you the secret of the second stage of animalization because we didn't want you to use it to blackmail us. The safe house is in the swamp. We don't dare to bet whether you will become the second lion after eating it."
Boss Cai sighed. If the woman used the lie detector he carried with him again, he might not believe it. But the prop card was different. This card was indeed given by him.
Kill Qiao Song, Qiao Song must be killed this time.
This voice kept echoing in his heart, and Boss Cai finally gave in: "How can I get the ownership of the swamp?"
The female player stared at his eyes intently and continued to ask: "After taking over the swamp, will you want to occupy this area——"
Boss Cai yelled impatiently: "I'll take over you, you big-headed ghost, I'll kill her and leave!"
He didn't want to come to this lousy place called Zootopia again! If it weren't for the sunk cost issue, he would have wanted to dig a hole and leave this damn place right now!
The lie detector beeped and the green light came on, and the people around him finally felt at ease to let this guy who had previously disguised his appearance become a key part of their plan.
"There are no animals in the swamp anymore. Just keep rushing in as you are now. If any animals attack you, kill them. Then you will be the new master of the swamp. The lion will be blocked as soon as it enters the swamp, and all its functions will be reduced by half. That's the best chance to kill her!"
Before, they would have hesitated, wondering if the lioness would be fooled by a few cold puppets.
I didn't expect Wang Er to be such a hateful guy. When they met face to face, the lion ignored the puppet and just chased him and bit him.
"Everyone, don't let your guard down. This lion is not stupid. Don't let it fail at the last minute."
"Xiao Li! Choose between security check and pet channel!"
The security inspector who had been protected by the crowd nodded immediately. He took back a pet check-in label. Qiao Song immediately began to recover at a visible speed. At the same time, the toolbox at her feet flashed a few times and suddenly disappeared.
It seems that all the weapons that can be used today have been used up.
The price is that the number of security check boxes behind Xiao Li has doubled.
When the lion Qiao Song found that his strength had recovered, he excitedly pounced on Boss Cai and followed him into the swamp without hesitation.
The former pulled the wire and threw her away. He just cursed "ghost lingering around", but he found that after entering the swamp, his skin became much more comfortable.
Boss Cai increased the power value of the wire, and indeed heard a player system prompt that he hadn't heard for eight hundred years.
[It is detected that the current area is compatible with your animal physique, and the continuous use of personal skills is regarded as a provocative act of the area. Now a personal battle for the area is underway. Once successful, other people entering the area will have their abilities weakened by half, and your physical fitness will be doubled! ]
When Boss Cai heard this, he was overjoyed.
He just didn't believe that with such a good BUFF, he couldn't defeat the insane Qiao Song!
The original creatures in the swamp are nothing but chickens and dogs to a guy who is essentially an administrator.
Boss Cai's face was filled with joy as he finally heard the system prompt.
[Congratulations on defeating all area guards. It is detected that there are no other players with the same animal attributes competing with you. The swamp has become your new territory! ]
[Ding—Physical energy buff takes effect, your skills have been enhanced, and the skill effects of all hostile forces in the area are reduced! ]
The giant lion that Qiao Song transformed into slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye while chasing the boss. Coupled with her physical strength weakened by the players and her toolbox that had become ineffective, she was like a beast with its nails cut, and she instantly became much weaker.
“Hahahahahahahaha Qiao Song!! I’ve been waiting for this day for too long—”
Boss Cai, whose body has completely transformed into a crocodile, keeps pulling out cables as thick as tree stumps from the swamp.
It had been a long time since he had felt the full energy of a fully charged battery. The forest had been weakening him before, but now it was like a battery, giving him two more bars of energy.
He is even more powerful now than when he was at his own convenience store!
Very good, Qiao Song, you are done!!!
He was grinning, wearing a crocodile armor, and thousands of electric wires were extended from his body, like stamens that retracted after blooming, pointing at the lion in the center of the encirclement that was jumping like a kitten.
In addition, except for a small number of players who returned to the safe zone of the cabin, there were various attack skills around that were also directed at the lion.
The lion has left her forest, and the swamp has become the home of the players. This is the best opportunity!!
Qiao Song, who was surrounded by thousands of troops, opened his mouth as a gesture of silent roar.
[Xiaogou·Single-target violent skill, using reason to exchange for explosive power, canceling this ability, reason is returning...]
[Wuma·Physical strength bonus, unlimited endurance]
【Rabbit·The world under your feet is a fairy tale】
The roar was a little slow, and it rushed into the swamp area with all kinds of strange patterns.
The fighting scene that seemed like the animal world before was suddenly dyed with psychedelic colors that did not belong to the real world. All kinds of dream-like ice crystal psychedelic patterns made the surrounding world like a cartoon.
All the sharp corners became rounded, and all the dark and smelly corners began to emit a fresh fragrance.
Butterflies flew into the swamp, and the dirty water surface became as perfect as a mirror.
Patches of grass began to grow along the lion's paws, as if there was another world under her feet.
"I declare that there shall be no killing and bloodshed in the fairy tale world."
As Boss Cai watched in disbelief, the wires that were originally intended to poke the lion into a colander suddenly turned a corner and twisted themselves into a bow on the spot.
Shit! That's not fair!
How could the other party's ability have such an effect in the swamp he had just occupied?
Hasn’t it been halved?
[We have received your complaint. The main system has promptly reported the situation in this area. All values are operating normally according to the rules of this area! ]
Boss Cai suddenly felt something was wrong.
That damn old guy Chen Long must have concealed important information. Qiao Song doesn't look like a player who only consumed a portion of the power of the zodiac!
Even if her influence has been weakened, it is no exaggeration to say that she is already half the owner of Zootopia!
No wonder he was chased and bitten by Qiao Song all the way, and he didn't have the strength to fight back for a while.
[Ding - Detected that you have not directly incorporated the regional authority into your administrator's main system, do you want to swallow it? After the merger is completed, you can directly use your other regional authority to invade Zootopia]
Boss Cai, who was practicing Tai Chi with Qiao Song, was stunned for a moment.
The meaning of this prompt is probably to ask Mr. Cai whether he wants to include the store on the next street into his own business system.
He didn't expect Zootopia to be so generous. He thought it was just a temporary permission for the play-house mode.
If he gets a share of Zootopia after swallowing it up, will that old man Chen Long come after him to the death?
Tsk, this old guy has screwed him over so badly, and he still cares about him!
swallow!
Strange electronic components began to appear on the crocodile's skin, and his head began to deform little by little. Ultimately, under the influence of regional rules, it did not turn into a square screen, but now, most of Boss Cai's skin was a mixture of LCD screens and crocodile skin.
The electric wires are inserted directly into the land, absorbing nutrients from the land like blood vessels.
After Boss Cai allowed the power of this area to connect directly with the convenience store, he could now open the door of the convenience store and directly use the energy in the warehouse to merge with Zootopia.
Although the scene has turned into a fairy-tale style, this does not prevent him from controlling Qiao Song. Since he cannot launch a bloody attack directly, he can also turn the opponent into his own supply package!
Open the warehouse and open the dissolving liquid. If you can't kill the opponent directly, then melt Qiao Song in the pool and turn him into a prop, a supply, and a soul coin!
Ever since Boss Cai launched a massive and all-out attack, with the momentum growing louder and louder, the lion on the opposite side has become a lot quieter.
Qiao Song sat there, watching the black wires create space cracks in the air and begin to spit out some thick dark liquid.
"Is this what you salvaged from the river of life and death?"
After Qiao Song regained his senses, he just found it funny.
"Boss Cai, I feel sorry for you. How come Chen Long can always find such smart and lovely accomplices?"
The display screen, with every component running at overload, was like a pot of boiling water. For a moment, I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
Is Qiao Song saying that Chen Long plotted against him?
Why does she feel this way?
No, I shouldn’t think about these things now. He just wants to kill Qiao Song. He must kill Qiao Song!
In the crocodile's eyes, some vortex-like lines flashed by, but Qiao Song, who had seen these eyes several times, saw them clearly.
Qiao Song smiled slyly: "Then let me see, does he want you to consume me, or does he want you to give me a big gift?"
The lion jumped high and bit directly at the electric wires flying in the sky.
Qiao Song completely ignored the river water of the River of Life and Death that was continuously pouring down from the power lines, which was no different from sulfuric acid to the players.
Boss Cai paused for a moment, not understanding why Qiao Song was willing to die at this time?
Until the swamp area was completely flooded by the water of the River of Life and Death, his electric wires surrounded the area to prevent other watching players from knowing what was happening in the middle.
After waiting for a long time, Qiao Song did not make any howls, but her figure did disappear in the water.
strangeness.
Gradually, bubbles began to gurgle in the swamp.
Boss Cai suddenly felt something was wrong. He did not take the initiative to recycle the water after death. This thing was like mercury. It could only roll on the ground and would not sink into the ground unless he used an electric wire to collect it back.
Why does water bubble?
The water level is also starting to drop! ?
As he became more and more uneasy, he finally saw a strange object appear in the middle of the wires.
At first, he thought it was a white box, the strange box that Qiao Song had used before to absorb the skills of other players.
But the color is not right, it's gray.
It was as if it was the other substances left after Qiao Song melted in the liquid of the River of Life and Death.
Boss Cai had used this ability to deal with some players who had provoked him before. He would melt those people into parts on the spot to form the basic elements of a human being, such as the player's memory book, remaining props, and the most important souvenirs of his life.
But what Qiao Song left in the water was actually a stone.
A square, box-shaped stone.
The process of that thing gradually surfacing.
Just a few seconds seemed like a lifetime.
Every piece of steel armor on the crocodile's body, like a miniature screen, began to flash.
If Boss Cai was still using a square color screen, the characters would definitely be garbled by now.
This scene, this thing——
The last time he saw one of these things, he had just crawled out of the wreckage of a boat and had nearly died.
Because of the failure to cross the river, the elite passengers on the ship almost stayed in the river of life and death forever.
He knew that some of the first people who got off the ship had received some special gifts, and he was lucky enough to get one of them.
Boss Cai has a secret.
The convenience store doesn't actually belong to him.
He had picked up a square stone shrine from the river.
There was a statue with an unclear face and a strange glowing object in it.
He picked up the object that fell from the shrine and gained management authority over the first convenience store.
From then on, these shops grew like grass sprouting in spring, one after another, and continued to expand under his leadership.
Until today, he was about to fulfill his only long-cherished wish over the years, which was to kill the person he wanted to kill.
The ghostly stone shrine reappeared.
Boss Cai saw the blurry stone statue in the shrine suddenly move.
Slowly, the facial features of the stone statue became clear.
Like a nightmare that he dared not even imagine, the stone statue with Qiao Song's face suddenly came to life.
She smiled and said, "Boss Cai, congratulations, you have found a treasure."
