Popular NPC on the Run [Unlimited]

One afternoon, a mutated virus swept across the globe, and zombies emerged in droves. Even more bizarrely, after the disaster began, many men and women carrying various weapons appeared.

Duri...

Chapter 112: Animal Star Wars [02]

Lu Cai was startled awake, still a little surprised. Then, feeling the gentle touches on his neck again and again, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

She remained motionless, with a gentle and submissive look on her face, allowing Cheng Juan to wash and groom her.

[Lu Cai: Be careful of the human NPCs around you.]

She could only carefully remind everyone in the group that she didn't understand the copy yet and couldn't jump to conclusions.

[Yue Xiaoyan: I was very careful. I just hoped they wouldn't see me.]

[Shi Rukui: (/Picture)]

[Zhao Yan: !!!]

[Zhao Yan: Where did you get this bird's-eye view?]

While the other man was showering, Lu Cai clicked on the picture that Kanshi Rukui had found. It was a bird's-eye view of the terrain. While the content wasn't entirely complete, it was at least clear and easy to read, making it very practical.

But the lines in this painting are too mechanical, and it is obvious that it was not hand-drawn by Shi Rukui. The picture is also too high-definition, and it doesn't look like a second-hand photo. Maybe he used some terrain props.

[Qin Yu: Are you a flying bird now? @时如聩]

[Shi Rukui: Yes.]

[Yue Xiaoyan: What kind of bird are you? Do you have a selfie?]

[Shi Rukui: If you have the time, why don't you think about how to leave the fish tank?]

Lu Cai pursed his lips and tried to smile, but then remembered he was now a horse, and quickly suppressed his smile. Actually, when they met up at the mission area, Yue Xiaoyan had explained to Lu Cai that Shi Rukui was short on money and wanted to go to the dungeon together to earn points.

She also didn't understand. If Shi Rukui wanted to follow, it would be fine as long as Yue Xiaoyan didn't mind. Why did she have to explain it to her so carefully?

Of course, after the explanation, Lu Cai nodded indifferently and did not ask any further questions.

[Qin Yu: Can you draw a few more?]

[Shi Rukui: I'll try.]

[Lu Cai: @Yue Xiaoyan, if you have the chance, please take a look at the scenery outside.]

Even though they sometimes had a bird's-eye view, it didn't help that they couldn't be sure of their companions' locations.

If Yue Xiaoyan could describe the outdoor scenery clearly, it would be much more convenient for Ru Kui, the aerial "drone", to conduct reconnaissance and assist each other in escaping.

Lu Cai felt that all actions could not be focused on rescuing a certain player. If everyone reported their location and those who were close to each other could converge in both directions, it would be better than wandering around like a headless fly like now.

[Lu Cai: My place is a horse farm, with a shed and grassy areas. There must be a film crew filming an ancient war scene nearby.]

[Shi Rukui: I haven't seen any similar places yet.]

[Qin Yu: This is a large lake, and there is no film crew here at the moment.]

[Zhao Yan: I'm in a modern urban set, and all the people walking around are actors. The crew is currently filming a crime drama.]

[Shi Rukui: Lu Cai is a pony, Yue Xiaoyan is a goldfish, what animals are you two?]

[Qin Yu: Black Swan.]

[Lu Cai: What a coincidence! I’m the dark horse.]

[Zhao Yan: Oh, right, where's Brother Xiao Liu? Where is he?]

Lu Cai suddenly remembered, yes, she had forgotten 666!

She has always been fighting alone, and she and other companions have met by chance, but they have not been able to complete the game on their own. Now with this group chat, she doesn't have to pay special attention to other people's whereabouts.

In the end, she actually forgot about the new friend she had just made!

Poor 666...

The red rope used for perception is now safely placed in the system slot, and even the prop storage bag Jiang Yan gave her is stuffed into the slot.

Before entering the dungeon, Lu Cai took the time to organize the card slots. She was originally happy about adding a new card slot, but when she was organizing it, she realized that it was not enough.

She spent a long time sorting things out and took out the used trauma spray, leaving an empty card slot. Then Jiang Yan sponsored a bottle of blood-replenishing pills. There were only three or four pills left in the old bottle. After confirming that it was okay to mix them, she simply poured the old pills into the new bottle.

Lu Cai doesn't use these emergency medicines very often nowadays, but it's always good to have them on hand. Even if he doesn't need them himself, he can keep them for his companions in case of emergency.

She couldn't bear to throw away the old medicine bottles. Lin Yong didn't have much left, and each piece she threw away was one less piece. Seeing her reluctance, Jiang Yan lent her a storage box and asked her to put the empty bottles in it. The storage box was first stored at "No. 12".

Later, when they met up, Yue Xiaoyan returned the small lunch bag that had contained the little scorpion to Lu Cai, and Lu Cai then remembered that he still had such a storage bag.

Lu Cai stuffed the unlimited glutinous rice flour and the white silk handkerchief in it, intending to come out of the copy and retrieve the empty medicine bottle. The card slot that originally stored the unlimited glutinous rice flour was also emptied.

After stuffing it in and out, I finally freed up two card slots and entered the dungeon. Oh my god, they were full again.

These are minor matters. The main thing is that I don't have a human form. In this dungeon, I probably can't cultivate into a spirit...

Without a human form, it means that everything in the system card slot becomes a decoration.

The red rope cannot be used, where can she find 666?

At this moment, Lu Cai could not help but remain silent. She also tried her supernatural powers, but she felt nothing, and her mood became more and more confused.

At this moment, there was a muffled explosion and a flash of red fire. She was startled and stepped back. Cheng Juan, who was washing her on the side, was so scared that she almost fell off the escalator.

Lu Cai retreated hastily, and the restraint on his mouth suddenly loosened, and the reins burned off and fell to the ground.

Before she could react, she saw another burst of sparks exploding. There was a commotion in the horse washing rooms on both sides, and the horses began to lose control. Lu Cai thought the time had come!

Taking advantage of the situation where the horses and people were thrown to the ground and the reins on their bodies were untied, Lu Cai raised his hooves, stomping out a sound, and adjusted himself. Then he pretended to neigh twice to show that he was frightened, and then without looking back, he mixed into the chaotic herd of horses and rode away.

After running far away, she left the herd and hid in the grass around the house.

She guessed that the exploding sparks were her own supernatural energy, but her current form restricted its use, suppressing it. However, as long as the power was still there, there was a way to recover it.

Lu Cai found a hidden bush and continued to activate his supernatural powers, trying to see if he could stimulate their recovery.

At least with her superpowers, it would be easier for her to search for her companions.

After the uncontrolled explosion of energy just now, this time when I activated my supernatural powers, I really felt a warmth circulating in my body.

Although her energy was still blocked, if she encountered danger, it would not be as effective as her running at full speed. However, in terms of searching a small area, it was still better than her looking everywhere.

She closed her eyes and concentrated her mind to push the supernatural energy. Strands of red silk spread along the ground under her hooves, and some remained in her body for sensing.

While manipulating the energy to form a circle, a response of energy suddenly came from a place a little further away.

Lu Cai suddenly opened his eyes. At such a long distance, it was definitely not his own supernatural power that was released, but based on his perception, he felt that this power did come from her.

With some speculation in her mind, she pulled her outward energy closer, keeping on guard within a suitable environment. Lu Cai cautiously walked towards the direction of the energy.

——

In a palace building, the dilapidated corner of the palace wall becomes the best place to shoot the cold palace scene.

The staff members were each doing their own job. The actor in the camera had plain makeup on and was squatting in the corner, but her eyes and eyebrows did not hide the paranoia and madness.

This is a concubine who was banished to the cold palace. She is still in her youth, with thin eyebrows and big eyes. She is at the age when she should be playing and having fun, but now her face is full of death.

Under the camera, every change in the actress's eyes is clearly visible, and her face gradually becomes hideous.

Her eyes dropped, her hands seemed to be grasping something, and her eyes were full of ferocity. She pressed down hard on something, then slowly exerted force.

The turbulent undercurrent in his eyes surged for a while, and finally gradually calmed down.

"Cut! Very good!" The director stopped the filming and was very satisfied with the actress's performance.

The actress released her hand and stood up with a hint of disgust. A white tabby cat with black stripes trembled its stiff legs, finally took a breath, and finally came back to life.

The camera of the behind-the-scenes footage is aimed at a tabby cat kitten. When the kitten sees people, it is frightened and wants to jump up, but unfortunately its hind legs are broken, making it difficult for it to move. It is on guard, growling softly and shrinking its head back to avoid people.

In the end, he could only swallow the sound in his throat, his eyes like black glass beads filled with a mixture of fear and hatred.

"This cat is not evil enough." The director watched the sample film again and again. The screen showed the actress's white jade-like fingers pinching the neck and body of the tabby cat kitten.

The director's face was solemn. The first few scenes involved a disgraced concubine who saw a kitten running around in the yard. She fed it daily, finally letting the kitten down. The moment the kitten lowered its head to eat, the concubine grabbed it and broke its hind legs.

"This cat is so cowardly. It's both an innocent victim and a cold-blooded, cruel bystander," the director said, feeling quite irritated. "Are there no other tabby cats?"

"There's another one, about the same size as this one, but it has scars on its body..." The staff member in charge of the animals hesitated, "And..."

"Does he look fierce?" the director interrupted him.

The staff nodded: "Very fierce."

"Bring it over here and let me see it first," said the director.

The staff member responded and left, and came back a few moments later with a small cage.

"Director, this is it!"

Hearing the sound, the director turned his head and his eyes fell on the cat. The kitten was a furry ball with a red rope around its neck. It raised its head, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.

The director sat up straight abruptly, looking at the kitten in the cage with eyes full of surprise.

That’s the feeling!

Wild! Savage! And a kind of coldness.

This is the temperament he gave to the imperial city in the script. The imperial city is full of mad beasts and weak cubs!

"That's him!" The director was delighted and immediately made up his mind, "First, add a few close-ups of the strangulation and the leg-breaking scenes!"

After these scenes are re-shot, we can shoot the scene where the kitten breathes its last.

It was just agreed that the actress was very dedicated and willing to do it herself, which was the best way, after all, the hand stand-in was not her own. Under the delicate jade fingers of the concubine, a wild and unruly weak life died quietly -

He could almost imagine the wonderful scene.

The staff hesitated to speak, but finally decided to say it in advance: "This kitten has a scar on its face. If we use it, all the footage we shot before, except for the long shot, can't be used..."

"Scar? Where?" The director was extremely excited and put his head in front of the cage.

"Under its right ear..." The staff member brought the cage closer and pointed it to the director.

The kitten was not afraid at all. It didn't make a sound from beginning to end. Its blood-red eyes stared at the director.

"Give it some medicine first. If that doesn't work, give it some anesthetic—" The director was mesmerized by the kitten's gaze. "It's too aggressive. Let's reshoot the strangulation scene first!"

A pair of eyes like this, at the moment of death, knowing that death is approaching, but unable to escape the despair...

It must be very beautiful.

......

The actress was still squatting under the dilapidated palace wall, holding the kitten tightly in her hands. The cat's paws hung limply, and the actress's hands tightened more and more...

Those ruby-like eyes gradually became dull.

"Ah——" the actress screamed, let go of her hand, and threw the kitten to the ground.

"Cut!" The director looked unhappy. "What's wrong?"

The actress covered her palm with her hand, feeling a piercing pain just now. Now she looked down, but there was no wound.

"I was stabbed..." the actress said guiltily.

The kitten on the ground propped itself up and crawled into the grass on the side, but unfortunately the anesthetic was too strong, making it like a ball of mud.

A staff member came forward carrying a cat cage, but before he got close, there was a loud bang and the dilapidated palace wall collapsed.

This intentionally aged wall was primarily used for filming a TV drama. They chose the material quickly, so even if it collapsed, it would only cause minor injuries. The group ran so fast, simply because the towering figures were revealed as the wall collapsed.

Lu Cai had been hiding carefully all the way. When he arrived here, he originally wanted to keep a low profile and decided to explore first. Unexpectedly, he sensed that his supernatural energy was on the other side of the wall, and the protection mechanism was triggered.

Thinking of the horror film crew killing fish mentioned by Yue Xiaoyan, she was worried that 666 would also be killed.

When she sensed the supernatural energy, her first reaction was 666, because the red rope bracelet on his hand was repaired and activated by Lu Cai using supernatural power.

The greatest use of Lu Cai's special ability is "defense".

In a hurry, she crashed into the wall and found that her strength had not diminished. As soon as she stepped over the collapsed wall, she saw a faint red light covering a small area of ​​land beside the wall.

She slowed down her movements, lowered her head in disbelief, took a few steps forward, and tilted her head towards the fading light shield.

In the ruins and rubble, a furry, round head raised up, a small black nose poked out, and the tightly closed eyelids slowly lifted, revealing a pair of bright red eyes.

Lu Cai stared blankly at the little kitten in front of him, which he could barely hold with his two palms. He snorted and took a step back in disbelief.

Then, she moved her eyes downward until she saw the red rope bracelet tied around his neck.

His eyes went from shock to sudden realization, and finally a moment of vacancy. Lu Cai asked tentatively, "Are you... 666?"

The kitten still raised its nose and snorted at her twice.

It's more like heavy breathing through the nose than humming, and the sound is very loud, but you have to be close to hear it.

666 can't speak, so he turned into a cat, but he's also a cat that can't meow.

Lu Cai: “…”

Why didn't she have any props for taking photos? After Lu Cai calmed down, his first thought was to take a picture of this scene...

The kitten looked at the other one stunned, and snorted twice with its nose turned up.

"Where did this horse come from?" The crew members saw the horse in front of them, became a little angry, and started yelling.

Lu Cai also immediately realized that they couldn't stay here for long and had to take 666 away quickly.

When a staff member approached, she neighed loudly, raised her front hooves and kicked at the people who surrounded her. The crowd screamed and quickly dispersed.

The front hooves touched the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

"Can you still run?" Lu Cai asked the little kitten behind him. She noticed that 666 was not in good condition and didn't know if he was injured.

666 supported himself with his weak limbs and tried hard to get up, but unfortunately his head was heavy and he fell down with a plop before he could stand firmly. The gravel pressed against his lower abdomen. He gasped uncomfortably but had no strength to move.

When Lu Cai turned around and saw this scene, his face darkened.

Anesthetic.

Didn't she know there was a scene where she had to give a kitten anesthesia?

"Just bear with it..." Lu Cai whispered this, then walked to the kitten, lowered his head, picked up the kitten by the scruff of the neck, and rushed out of the collapsed palace wall.

I didn't dare bite hard for fear of hurting the kitten, but I could bite gently for fear of the kitten falling.

And the most important thing is... the thought of biting 666's neck...

"I am a horse... I am a horse..." She brainwashed herself silently in an attempt to get rid of the emotion called "embarrassment".

666, who was still dizzy at this time, felt his vision shaking violently. His body was slightly tense, but he did not struggle. Gusts of warm wind blew past his fur.

The sound of horse hooves continued as the little black horse galloped with the kitten in its mouth, and finally disappeared into the dense forest.
