Chapter 366: Rusty City Strange Stories

Xu Zhiyan knew that his luck was bad, but he didn't expect his luck to be so bad.

The sounds of fighting were incessant, and even the light coming through the crack in the door flickered from time to time. When a heavy object hit the door, there was a 'bang' sound, making the door, which didn't look very strong, whimper.

[Host! What are you standing there for? Go out and take a look!]

While there was still an absolutely safe time, the system couldn't help but urge.

Xu Zhiyan sat on the bed without moving. He turned his gaze away from the door and asked in a low voice, "Is there any message from Him?"

Consumption is always linked to benefits.

Using weapons or props will basically result in consumption, but slicing of ghosts and gods will not, so the cost-effectiveness is very high.

The system that had been actively giving advice just now immediately took over the work and scanned diligently, but strangely, it failed to obtain any useful information this time.

[Huh? Weird!]

[I can clearly sense the presence of slicing in the dungeon, but after scanning around, I can't find the exact coordinates.]

This state is neither like there nor like there is no...

After hearing this, Xu Zhiyan just frowned slightly and didn't say much. Although he also wanted to find the slice quickly, he would not stay there just because the information about the slice was unclear.

"Look at it from a bright side, at least there is information."

After saying that, he stood up, took out the lighting equipment and threw it on the roof.

In an instant, the entire room appeared before him.

This place looks like a shabby dormitory, but unlike the school dormitories, there are sixteen bunk beds neatly arranged in the room, which means that this is a dormitory for thirty-two people.

“I can’t imagine how people live in this place.”

After complaining, Xu Zhiyan didn't pause and quickly started searching from where he was curled up on the bed.

The system is a bit anxious.

[Host! What are you looking for when the situation outside is so chaotic?]

"Let them fight."

Xu Zhiyan said he didn't care.

According to the information of his teammates and previous hints, it can be known that the three people who teamed up with him cannot be his teammates.

Since they are not his own people, the two outside can fight without any care at the beginning. Either they have new hatred or old grudges. He is very open-minded about this. At worst, he can just treat it as a single-player dungeon in the early stage.

"They fight their battles, and I look for mine. It's always a good idea to find more information while the game is still going on."

After thinking about it systematically, I feel that it makes sense.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was scratching their heads anxiously, but they didn't expect Xu Zhiyan to be so calm.

[Fuck! Bandit Xu, what’s wrong with you?]

[Xiao Baiwan has no curiosity at all! ]

[Urgent! Urgent! I really want to know who the warriors fighting outside are! This is a fucking rule copy! How dare you start a fight without knowing any rules? You must be crazy...]

[Isn't it a ghost lion? I remember she is always like this.]

[Well, I couldn't help but go to other live broadcast rooms to watch it first. I can only say that it was a bit unexpected, but also very reasonable. ]

[Wait a minute! What is Xiao Baiwan holding? Work clothes? ]

By the time the absolute safety time was almost over, Xu Zhiyan had already dug out a lot of "good stuff" from the room.

Four sets of brand new gray-blue work uniforms, four blank work ID cards, and in the interlayer of one of the ID cards, he found a piece of information that could not be called a clue.

【Please never forget your true identity. 】

This tip is interesting.

They are players first, and after entering the dungeon their identities are city rescue team reserves. Considering the setting and the work uniforms and work badges in front of them, it can be inferred that they came here to complete the rescue mission, and they are most likely employees.

Is the hint for him to not forget his identity as a player, or to not forget his identity as an undercover agent?

After putting the note away, Xu Zhiyan saw a schedule on the wardrobe beside the door.

【6:30 dinner】

[Arrived at the workshop at 7:00 and started the morning meeting]

【7:20 Work】

【12:00 Lunch break】

【1:00 work】

【6:30 dinner】

【7:20 Work】

【Lights out at 12:00】

A schedule that will make anyone cry and anyone who sees it feel sad.

Xu Zhiyan felt that the only thing left in his eyes was "work".

There was a damp and moldy smell in the air, and mold was growing in the wet corners of the walls.

The clock in the room showed that the current time was 12:31. Although it was pitch black without any lights, looking at the empty bed and the rotten air that was obviously standard in a basement, one could basically tell that it was lunch time.

"What a black-hearted boss who was struck by lightning." He couldn't help but sigh.

But considering that he had already turned around and there were no other papers, he thought of something and hesitantly reached out to turn over the schedule.

There are several lines of densely packed small characters written behind the form...

At the same time, the battle outside the door had not stopped. After the sound of a door being pushed open, the short and frightened screams of other people who had strayed in were very piercing and fell into the dormitory along with the light.

Considering that there was nothing useful in the dormitory, Xu Zhiyan put away the light and walked towards the door.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"

Rhythmic explosions were heard, and the air that should have been invisible to the naked eye began to fluctuate and then exploded instantly.

A blurry figure flashed by, and the corner of the table that was affected by the attack was shattered into powder, but the target itself disappeared.

“clang!”

The blade slashed at the invisible shield.

The ripples in the air spread outward like water splashes.

The man standing inside the protective shield was dressed in a suit and had a look of disgust on his face.

Gan Mi was a little anxious.

Although he has entered the game countless times, he still feels overwhelmed every time he encounters a rule-based copy.

Half an hour ago, he received a message from Gui Shi, confirming that the other party was not around him and that they might not meet for a while. He was really relieved.

I am used to breaking through levels by brute force. If I add another one, will I still be able to play this game with rules?

"It doesn't matter who you meet, as long as it's not the ghost lion."

That’s what Gan Mi thought at that time, until he heard a sound around him…

Retracting his thoughts, he spoke through gritted teeth.

"Mad dog, are you fucking sick? Why didn't Yan Chengfan kill you right away!"

Damn it, he didn’t even find any rules!

Xinan, who was a few meters away, got the chance to get close. After the attack, he did not put away the knife, but continued with his specialty of strong attack. The scarlet double-headed knife left an afterimage, and the vibration of the protective shield became more and more intense.

"Oh." He even found time to reply.

The two who had accidentally formed a team in the past have now become "teammates" again. Unfortunately, the change in positions has caused the two to enter an intense fighting mode from the first encounter.

During this time, a suspected player came here with the mentality of looking for teammates, but he was scared and ran away as soon as he entered the door...

When Xu Zhiyan pushed open the door, he was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless for a long time.

The two people who were fighting paused for a second and turned their heads at the same time, including the player squatting on the ground. Two shocked eyes mixed with pleading eyes fell on Xu Zhiyan.

Before he could react, a faint voice came from Gan Mi's protective shield.

“Ka——”

The sound was very small, but Xinan came to his senses in the blink of an eye, and his left hand that was not holding the knife instantly inserted into the crack!

The almost completely mechanized body possessed the strength comparable to that of a tool. In a flash, the opponent's flaws when he was distracted were seized...

Now, Gan Mi couldn’t care less about Xu Zhiyan who suddenly appeared.

A new round of battle is still going on...

The comments in the barrage were simply going crazy.

[What the hell! What the hell! Has Mad Dog mechanically ascended? What's wrong with his hands? ]

[I feel like the human part of him is getting less and less, and he didn't even react when Boss Gan attacked him just now!]

[I'm so excited to see this, but it seems like he needs a mechanical heart in his condition. Can this thing still be obtained now? ]

[Hehe, don't even mention getting it. I've only seen him use it once, and I've never heard of it before. Where can I get it... No, that's not right. If I have money, can I go ask the safe house if they will give me research and development?]

[So what should Xiao Baiwan do? Two tough guys and a small fry, this copy...]

[But I see that Xiao Baiwan's expression is very calm. ]

[Wait! Xiao Baiwan, what are you doing? ]

People who were enjoying the fun were anxious and worried, but unexpectedly found that Xu Zhiyan had a cold expression. He ran to the corner with a smile and started chatting with the strange player who was shivering in the corner with his head in his hands.

"What's your name? Which guild are you from? What's your ranking and what are you good at?"

He squatted aside and poked the other person's head.

"Ah! Ah?"

When asked, the player was stunned and spoke out his information tremblingly.

"My name is Qi Shanren. Boss Xu, you can just call me Xiao Qi."

As Xu Zhiyan expected, this was another poor cannon fodder pushed out by the guild. He still remembered this guild, it was called Pantheon, and in the last round, they were also nominated and sent in two cannon fodders who knit scarves...

After briefly stating his message, Qi Shanren made a trade request faster than Xu Zhiyan.

"Xu...Xu, Boss Xu, our...my president gave me two sums of money this time. In addition to agreeing to give me a personal sum of money when entering the dungeon, he also said that if I meet you, he is willing to give you 100,000 points, hoping that you can save my life."

He spoke more and more fluently. Although he was almost unable to stand up straight due to the terrifying pressure from the side, if he could give the money smoothly, his chances of survival would greatly increase!

Xu Zhiyan was stunned.

"Hiss... Your guild leader is quite sensible. He wants to save his life from me?"

He didn't know whether to scold the president of the Pantheon.

This guy is okay, he never enters the dungeon because he is timid and afraid of trouble, and he sends cannon fodder into the dungeon every time. This guy is not good, he is willing to pay money to buy the life of cannon fodder.

The money arrived quickly, and Xu Zhiyan's mood became happier after receiving the money.

Given his worth, the amount of money doesn’t matter, but the feeling of receiving points is damn addictive!

The fight between the two men continued.

Xu Zhiyan was not in a hurry either. He simply squatted beside Qi Shanren, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, ate them and watched.

"Boss Xu, you, you didn't stop it?" Qi Shanren was a little panicked.

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but he was frightened when he came in. When he wanted to leave, he found that his legs were shaking so much that he couldn't stand straight.

After hearing this, Xu Zhiyan shook his head and said, "Why should I stop them? They didn't give me any money."

Qi Shanren suddenly became extremely nervous and started to explain quickly.

"But! But! Does it matter if there are fewer people?"

This is a regular copy. If one person is missing, who knows what will happen in the end.

"Oh, it would be better if there were fewer people..."

Seeing that the customer was getting scared, Xu Zhiyan stuffed the melon seeds into the customer's hand while muttering, then stood up, clapped his hands, and started talking nonsense loudly.

"In fact, I have already used my skills on the two of you. If you stop now, you can keep your life, but you will definitely be seriously injured. I can't guarantee it if you continue to fight... If you don't believe me, try it."

As soon as these words were spoken, they once again attracted the attention of the three people present.

Xinan and Gan Mi looked at each other, and immediately separated from the fight, looking at the confident young man standing in the corner with doubtful eyes.

Seeing that the two were about to speak, Xu Zhiyan raised his finger to his lips, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"6, 5, 4, 3..."

He suddenly began a slow countdown, which soon came to an end.

“2, 1.”

The moment the words fell, countless wounds burst out on the bodies of the two people standing on both sides of the room at the same time!

“Boom—”

“Boom—”

The two men fell to the ground uncontrollably, blood spurting out. Half an hour of attacks accumulated and turned into quite terrible injuries.

Only Xu Zhiyan looked calm and composed.

"It was you who didn't read the rules. You can't blame me. Come to think of it, you two are pretty good. You played for such a long time without even stopping for ten seconds..." He found the rules at the back of the timetable.

【Workers are not allowed to fight with each other.】

[All attacks on others will fall on you after the battle stops for ten seconds.]
