Chapter 92
The members of the Tiancheng team wandered around the edge of the outer circle for the third hour, and they decided to take action against the prey they had been eyeing for a long time.
This was their fourth operation, and the success of the first three times gave them some experience.
Luring and killing the zombie sentries at the edge of the Silent Zone and the outer circle to obtain high-quality zombie energy cores.
And they are not the only team that has come up with this idea.
In fact, when Tiancheng arrived at the edge of the outer circle, seven or eight top-ranked teams had already gathered there.
They occupied a relatively safe and hidden corner on the edge of the outer circle. The good geographical location also made it easier for them to capture zombies or escape.
Considering the intensity of the usual crossover matches, it is incredible that there were no collisions or frictions when more than a dozen top-ranked teams met.
You have to know that in this competition, teams will be eliminated from each other continuously in order to improve their rankings.
The reason why they did not dare to act rashly was very simple, that was, the place in front of them was not suitable for them to fight.
The edge of the Silent Realm is filled with a large number of advanced zombies that generate energy core crystals. They are the first line of defense of the Zombie Empire. They are not very strong, but not weak either.
Because they always appear in groups, like a well-trained army, and their hearing and sense of smell are extremely sensitive. Once they discover the presence of a living person, they will not take action immediately, but will immediately inform the zombie leader.
Obviously, they all received unified orders from the Zombie King. The first moment they saw a living person, they did not chase after him, but reported to their superiors.
What does this mean? It means they are more wary than they should be.
This extremely uncomfortable sense of vigilance is the result of the great devil Spade King hunting down the zombie king Jin Man.
That person's appearance and wanton actions always have a great impact on both players and NPCs.
Since the Silent Realm is almost always on alert, their opportunities to take action become extremely limited.
There are not many opportunities to obtain energy cores, let alone teams destroying each other.
You must know that once the zombie sentinels pass the information to their superiors, not only will their information and location be exposed, but they may even lose the lives of their companions.
Although such a thing did not happen to the Tiancheng team, an hour ago, the Shenxiao team's plan was exposed, which directly attracted a zombie leader with an energy core level of A.
The player who acted as bait to lure the zombie sentry away from the team was caught directly by it and turned into ashes in the hands of the zombie leader.
The whole process took only two or three seconds. In the instant when no one had time to react, the person was gone.
They all thought that the zombie leader would leave some living people behind for reincarnation.
But it didn't, it killed the person directly.
After this incident, the teams on the edge of the outer circle did not dare to move for a while until the A-level zombie leader left.
At this moment, the sentinel team that the Tiancheng team was targeting had patrolled back and forth at the location where they were squatting several times.
"Captain, there have always been six." Fei Peng came back from his inspection and reported to Chen Cheng, "We haven't found any higher-level zombie leaders. Should we take action?"
Chen Cheng looked at the sentry team in the distance. Energy cores were generated on the necks of the six zombies.
A big piece of fat.
In particular, the place where Tiancheng was hiding was very remote, with no other teams around, and other patrolling zombie armies only passed by once every half an hour.
Chen Cheng put out the cigarette in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knew that if he didn't take action now, they would have no chance.
The teams hidden at the edge of the outer circle continued to capture zombie sentinels, causing their leaders to lose contact with them, and had long since aroused their higher vigilance.
Even if they wait patiently, it will be difficult for them to get a chance to take action.
And there are fewer and fewer sentinels like this one with low vigilance.
Although Chen Cheng always felt a little uneasy, there was indeed nothing unusual around him.
People's greed always lowers their guard. Chen Cheng said solemnly:
"Quit while you're ahead."
Fei Peng nodded when he heard this and said, "We'll leave after we finish this job."
The bait released by Tiancheng was a petite female player, and she didn't need to get close to the sentinel team at all.
In fact, as long as she exposed her scent in the air, the zombie sentinels with enhanced sense of smell could smell it clearly even from hundreds of meters away.
As planned, Youtian ran towards the outer circle without looking back the moment she was exposed to the zombies' sight.
The purpose of her doing this is to stimulate the zombie sentinels' desire to hunt, which is also their most primitive nature.
Few sentries could resist the allure of such a spectacle, despite their strict orders.
The moment the sentinel team saw Youtian, they hesitated for a moment, and then they couldn't help but chase after her.
They didn't roar the alarm immediately, I don't know if it was because of the excitement of the chase or because they forgot for a moment.
Chen Cheng didn't think about it too much, this was exactly the result he wanted to see.
He waved to Feipeng and the others, and they immediately rushed out from behind the zombie sentinels.
They are armed, move quickly and have clear targets, and must kill with one strike.
Otherwise, with the terrifying power of these zombie sentinels, they would easily be bitten back as long as there was a slight chance of resistance.
There is only one outcome for being bitten by a zombie, and that is to become a walking corpse.
Youtian counted silently in her heart. When the countdown was over, she swiftly pulled out a long red knife from her arms, turned around without hesitation, and prepared to cooperate with her companions to give the zombies a fatal blow.
An invisible force silenced her, and a hint of surprise flashed in Youtian's eyes.
However, when she turned around and saw the scene behind her, she froze in place.
All of her companions were strangled by the zombie sentries by the neck. They were unable to speak and looked terrified and shocked. Their desperate struggles were futile.
And through these expressionless zombies, she saw a man's face.
The man smiled faintly at her, looking very handsome.
If there wasn't a sickle with a cold glow hanging around Youtian's neck, she might have had some beautiful fantasies.
"Don't make a sound." Yitu made a gesture to silence him.
Youtian's face looked ugly, but she was still obedient.
She didn't shout and try to attract other zombie sentinels, which would undoubtedly be seeking death.
"Who are you? How could you collude with zombies?!"
Youtian looked at her teammates who were unable to move because their necks were choked by the sentinel zombies, and whispered in disbelief.
She never expected that these zombies were actually in cahoots with the players.
It was obvious that the sentinels swaying back and forth in front of them were just bait released by these people.
Yitu didn't answer her, but just looked behind her.
"The captain of Tiancheng...why doesn't he come out and speak?"
Youtian was about to speak sarcastically when a deep male voice sounded behind her.
"It's really a perfect scene of the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole is waiting behind."
Chen Cheng walked out from behind a pile of rubble with a gloomy look on his face.
"You are the mantis, and you are also the oriole."
"Queen of Hearts, you are truly capable."
Yi Tu smiled, thinking that he was sincerely praising her.
Chen Cheng slowly looked over the four people. The moment he saw Xu Heng, he instantly understood why the Queen of Hearts had the ability to control zombies.
The betrayer's card is itself a cheating tool.
"We can give you all the energy cores of our team. Let them go."
When Chen Cheng said this, a trace of pain flashed across his face.
However, he obviously misunderstood something, and Yitu gave him a strange look.
"Captain Tiancheng, did you get something wrong..."
"What?" Chen Cheng's heart skipped a beat.
"Your team's energy core was originally ours."
Yitu smiled lightly, and although the smile was polite, there was no respect in his words.
Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then his whole face became extremely ugly.
"So what do you want? Don't push your luck!"
Yi Tu didn't say anything, but Xu Heng beside him spoke lazily.
"Is this Captain Tiancheng's first time participating in a crossover tournament? His reaction is so strong, he seems like a newbie."
He walked up to Chen Cheng and said seriously:
"What can we do? We just follow the normal process and eliminate our opponents."
Xu Heng laughed as he spoke, "How else did your team get ranked 39th? It's really strange."
Chen Cheng's face turned pale after being criticized, but he still controlled his temper.
Because he knew in his heart that it was impossible to save all his teammates with his own ability.
You should know that there are not only the Queen of Hearts and Xu Heng present, but also Shen Hao and Ou Cheng, whose strength should not be underestimated.
Especially the latter Ou Cheng, he really couldn't withstand his sickle alone.
"Queen of Hearts, can you..."
Chen Cheng still wanted to make amends, but Ou Cheng interrupted him coldly.
"We don't have much time, let's get started."
Shen Hao glanced behind him and frowned slightly.
"Those A-rank commanders are very fast. We really need to hurry."
Chen Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this. What A-level commander?
What exactly did they do?
However, before he could react, Xu Heng had already ordered the zombie sentries to take action.
In just a blink of an eye, his teammates' necks were strangled and they stopped breathing.
Youtian opened her eyes wide and yelled "No", but it couldn't change the facts at all.
But this is not the most chilling thing. What is even more chilling is that Youtian looked at the actions of those sentinel zombies and saw that they were obviously going to turn her teammates into the same kind.
She finally couldn't help but curse loudly:
"Queen of Hearts, has your conscience been eaten by a dog? How could you treat us like this?! We have never provoked you!"
Yitu turned to look at her with an ambiguous smile on his lips.
He walked up to Youtian, pushed away Ou Cheng's sickle, and replaced it with his cold hand.
For a moment, Youtian felt that she was doomed, but in fact, this was not her illusion.
"Yeah, my conscience was eaten by a puppy."
Yitu sighed, and after saying this, he broke Youtian's neck without any hesitation.
A hint of doubt flashed across Youtian's face, but there was no trace of pain in her expression.
Yitu felt that he had gone too far by eliminating the little girl, but at least he didn't make her feel any pain.
He quietly diverted Youtian's pain.
In just a few minutes, everything was different.
Chen Cheng looked at his teammates who had all transformed into zombies and knew that he had no choice.
The team competing in the joint competition is a whole team, they are a group, it is useless for him to survive alone.
What's more, there is no way these people will let him go.
Chen Cheng looked at Yi Tu with a serious gaze, his face revealing a bit of frustration that was hard to conceal.
"You won, but this is just the beginning."
Chen Chengchong gave Yitu an ambiguous smile, "Can you hold on to the end, Queen of Hearts?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shattered into countless pieces, fell to the ground and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Chen Cheng gave up the competition.
Even though his death was not very dignified, it was better than turning into a zombie and being laughed at by everyone.
Xu Heng looked at the place where he disappeared, his expression speechless.
"Has he watched too much TV? Why does he have to leave in such a ceremonial way?"
Yitu couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, hurry up and grab the energy core, and let's keep running."
Xu Heng then remembered that they were now being arrested and pursued by the major zombie nations.
They hurried to search the newly transformed zombies for energy cores. The Tiancheng team had a lot of spoils, including half a bag of heavy energy cores.
After doing this, they quickly evacuated the scene.
Not long after they left, an extremely tall A-level commander arrived at this place full of living people.
A terrifying roar came from his throat, like the whisper of a devil.
Another step late.
"This time things have really gotten out of hand." Yitu smiled bitterly.
When Xu Heng heard this, he felt that he didn't really mean it at all.
Knowing that he had gotten into big trouble, instead of running away, he was thinking of ambushing a group of players at the edge of the outer circle?
In fact, they actually dared to listen to this man and did everything he said.
Originally, they borrowed a strong sentinel team from the zombie king Yinchuan, and planned to use zombies as bait to capture zombies to obtain energy cores.
Who knew that the location of Yinchuan's zombie kingdom was actually at the middle edge of the silent area, surrounded by more than a dozen zombie kingdoms.
Each zombie king has a clear division of territory, and the zombie sentinels are not allowed to cross the line.
Once you cross the line, you will instantly be out of the zombie leader's reach.
Yi Tu, who knew about this situation, was not worried at all, but was quite happy instead.
Because capturing zombies has become more convenient.
Originally Yinchuan wanted to help them cover up the smell of living people on their bodies, but Yitu refused.
What he wanted was to expose himself, or use something to attract zombies.
At first, he planned to use the conflicts between zombies from different countries to lure them across the border and then kill them.
However, he changed his mind.
When four living humans appear in the center of the zombie kingdom, what will the zombie sentinels think?
They have a certain degree of intelligence, but they do not fully master their newly grown "brains".
The Sentinels would think they were prisoners who had escaped from capture, after all, this was the center of the Silent Realm.
They instinctively chase and fight for captives who cross the border, while at the same time lowering their vigilance.
Yitu and his group are not just four people, they also have a powerful zombie army behind them.
So hunting turned into being hunted.
They performed this drama more than a dozen times, and finally the zombie kings noticed the problem.
Yi Tu had to admire the actions of the lords of the Silent Realm.
These zombie kings are indeed of the highest level of wisdom. They unanimously reached an agreement to eliminate dissidents and then maintain internal stability.
Therefore, Yitu and his companions had to be sent out halfway by the subordinates of King Yinchuan, who concealed their aura.
Soon afterwards, King Yinchuan's territory was forced to deploy many sentinel teams from other territories.
They did not attack each other because it was not the right time yet, and they did not want to give humans a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Yitu and his companions had turned the Silent Territory into a mess, and were inevitably hunted down by several A-rank commanders who were familiar with their scent.
They finally reached the edge of the outer circle with great difficulty, but Yitu was still greedy.
So, they took away a few equally greedy teams.
Seeing that there were still a few teams at the edge of the outer circle who were reluctant to leave, Yitu sighed lightly.
If we don't leave now, it will be too late. Those guys will catch up with us.
Yitu won't care about them, they themselves are in trouble.
Especially in the absence of a door, Shen Hao had no way of teleporting.
The Silent Realm is almost entirely in ruins, and the outer circle is an equally harsh environment.
Rusted and scrapped cars, nearly destroyed buildings, and scorched earth.
At this time, Yi Tu suddenly thought of Jiang Hanyu and the words Jiang Hanyu had said to him about Chen Hao.
Shen Hao's skill card is very powerful, but also very limited.
Sometimes, such limitations can have fatal consequences.
Just as Yitu and his companions were rushing on the road, they finally found a dilapidated station.
Although only half of the door to this site is left, it still does not affect the use of the key.
They were about to be transferred back to the cabin, and at that moment, a message popped up on Yitu's game panel.
Yitu hesitated for a moment before stepping into the white door, and he opened the message.
[Jiang Hanyu: Why are you in the outer circle? ]
When a team eliminates another team, the position of the winning team will be briefly displayed on the system display.
Nightingale's position began to explode frequently, which meant that they were frantically eliminating other teams.
The last time they appeared was also in the outer circle, and they failed to defeat Tiancheng.
They just let Tiancheng give up power.
"That's really interesting."
The tall and handsome man leaned on the railing, and from where he stood, he could look down and take in the entire silent area.
The tall man next to him didn't say anything, but just frowned.
"Do you know what it means to be in cahoots with each other?" The Night King had a smile on his face but his tone was cold.
"Xu Heng is the wolf, and our lovely Red Heart Queen is the wise wolf."
Fu Heng glanced at him and said in a slightly lowered voice, "What do you want to say?"
The Plum Blossom King winked at him, with an ambiguous smile on his face.
"He's awesome, I love him so much."
When Fu Heng heard this, a trace of disdain and disgust flashed across his face, but he quickly covered it up.
At this time, the Night King's voice sounded again, putting away his cynical look and appearing much more normal.
"Hua Umbrella, Lord Xing is coming, you can't protect Xiaolu's identity card."
"So." Fu Heng said expressionlessly.
"So..." The Night King smiled at him, "Maybe I can help you."
