Chapter 94
It was half an hour later when Yitu and the others realized that the zombie tide warned of this time had not only been advanced in time but also increased in danger level.
The pickup truck that had been driving from dusk to dawn had just passed the edge of the center circle when Meng Xian, who was sitting in the roofless cabin, suddenly tapped the window of the cab.
The three people who were resting in the back seat were instantly awakened. Yi Tu turned his head and caught a glimpse of Meng Xian's nervous face.
Air filled his open mouth and he shouted loudly, but he still couldn't speak clearly.
But Yitu understood and said in a deep voice:
"Meng Xian said he heard the sound of an earthquake."
"The zombie army has crossed the border."
Just now, the system announced the level of this zombie tide to the entire map and warned players to be prepared to evacuate the outer circle in time.
A level five zombie tide means that this time, there will be at least ten A-level commanders in command of the zombie army, and a zombie king giving orders.
Their purpose is unclear, perhaps they are just trying to test the strength of this outsider.
But this simple test will not be too pleasant for players who are still in the outer circle or the middle circle.
There are 211 temporary stations and 32 temporary material supply stations in the outer circle.
The inner circle has 87 first-level sites, but only 26 second- and third-level shelters, and no temporary material supply stations.
That is to say, if they are unlucky, or someone deliberately manipulates them, there will be no shelter for them when they reach the middle circle.
The zombie tide was moving too fast, and they couldn't enter the inner circle and would be caught up directly.
It turns out that Yitu's concerns were not groundless.
Shortly after they entered the center circle, Yitu received a warning message from a nearby team on his game panel.
[Team Tuberose - Hua Man: Red Queen, the center circle has been controlled by Team Xing Heng, and the Flower Umbrella is waiting for you to fall into their trap.]
Yi Tu's expression darkened slightly when he heard this.
Xu Heng, who was sitting next to him, noticed something and asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong?"
Yitu shook his head, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Xingheng's people are waiting for us in front..."
"Maybe there's more than just our team."
Xu Heng's expression changed. He glanced at the others who were still unaware of the situation and lowered his voice deliberately.
"Did the other teams send you a message?"
"They're clearly coming for you. Gu Yongnian can't find out about this, or he might cause some trouble."
Yitu paused slightly. This was indeed a situation he had never imagined, and he hesitated for a moment.
"Will it?"
Xu Heng smiled and said with a firm look:
"Yes."
As soon as their pickup truck entered the center circle, it was targeted by everyone.
But these people did not act rashly, because the noise coming from behind the center circle was getting louder and louder.
The dull and oppressive footsteps were getting closer and closer, shaking the ground.
Yitu looked back and saw that the sky was already completely bright, but the woods they had just walked through were still quiet.
But after a while, a man with a rotten body and strange movements jumped out.
There is a dark yellow energy core on its neck, and its head keeps twitching as if it is trying to distinguish the smell and direction, at an astonishing speed.
There was not only one such leading sentinel. Soon, more than a dozen such zombies rushed out from its left and right and behind.
They quickly dispersed in all directions, leaving behind a huge army of zombies.
Yitu's heart sank and he looked away.
"What should we do now?" Ding Rong asked anxiously, "They are only a few hundred meters away from us."
"Xiao Heng, how far is the nearest shelter from us?" Gu Yongnian asked.
Xu Heng glanced at the game panel and said, "Keep going forward. There is a level 2 shelter in 800 meters."
"Eight hundred meters is okay, we're still in time." Gu Yongnian breathed a sigh of relief.
Ou Cheng, who was driving, glanced at him and said pessimistically:
"That shelter is the closest one between the middle and outer circles, and it's very likely already occupied."
Gu Yongnian had thought about this possibility, but he had gained some confidence and courage in his current team.
"Then we can only rob it."
After hearing this, the others couldn't help but frown.
The middle circle is different from the outer circle. The teams that can enter the middle circle early are all very strong and ranked high.
They don't need to enter the Silent Realm in advance to obtain energy cores. They just need to wait for the zombie tide to come and the resources will be delivered to their doorstep.
There was a hint of naivety in Gu Yongnian's speech.
Considering his captain's dignity and face, Yi Tu did not say this out loud, but turned around and said a few words to Lu Nan.
Lu Nan understood and took out the golden paintbrush, opened the car window, and quickly waved a few strokes in the air. A golden door with only a frame remained in place.
They needed room for maneuver. If the secondary shelter was really occupied by someone and they couldn't win the battle, they had to escape in time.
Yitu had to be wary of Spade Queen Umbrella, as he knew that Umbrella was looking for other suitable identity cards for the deer.
Because of the intervention of Diamond King Xing, it is impossible for Sika Deer to keep the Diamond Jack's identity card.
Once she loses her throne card, even if her skill card has been upgraded to the god level, she will be unable to use it due to level restrictions.
After all, the level suppression in the gambler's game is too serious. Sika Deer will not give up the God-level card that she has upgraded with great difficulty, and Huasan will not find a new throne card for her.
Lu Nan painted door frames in several places they passed by, and the golden door frames would last for an hour.
In other words, during the one hour that the door frame exists, they can use Shen Hao's key to change the position of the pickup truck at will, thus ensuring that those people cannot catch them in the first place.
And in a place that Yi Tu couldn't see, several people with familiar faces were standing on the brown protective wall ten meters above.
Wei Zhou looked at the golden door frames that appeared in the south of the center circle and couldn't help but jokingly said:
"Is this a case of a cunning rabbit having three burrows? Who came up with this evil idea?"
Standing on the top floor of the defensive city, they could have a panoramic view of the entire middle and inner circles.
The invisible areas five miles away from Yancheng are all covered by flying eyes. Every move of any team entering the middle circle is under their control.
Jiang Hanyu looked at the scene in front of him, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Who else could it be?"
Only that guy was smart enough. He managed to dig out the strengths of everyone in such a useless small team, magnify them and combine them, and finally made it look like a real team.
Shen Yueshu also nodded at the side, "It is indeed Yitu's idea that is correct."
"Although Shen Hao's Anywhere Door can teleport infinitely, its limitation is that it must have a door to go through."
"The existence of painters just makes up for this shortcoming."
The golden paintbrush of painter Lu Nan can draw anything and it can exist for a period of time.
The combination of the two makes Shen Hao's teleportation invincible within a certain period of time.
"But isn't Fu Hengyi waiting for them up ahead?" Shen Yueshu looked at Jiang Hanyu, who had a calm expression. "He hasn't given up yet, has he?"
Jiang Hanyu said "hmm", the meaning of his words was unclear.
"Everyone has selfish motives."
Shen Yueshu didn't understand, but didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that the pickup truck was about to drive to the second-level shelter, the members of the Xingheng Team had been waiting there for a long time.
Behind the pickup truck was a group of zombies chasing it. They had already discovered the noisy iron tool and were trying to grab the edge of the pickup truck to climb up.
There are wolves in front and tigers behind. Even if they have room to retreat, teleporting back will only mean death under the cover of the zombie tide.
"Captain, won't you help Yitu?" Shen Yueshu looked at the man with a smile on her face.
Jiang Hanyu raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around, and said with a half-smile:
"He's not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry?"
The conversation on their intercom was still about his unanswered message.
Why rush? You won't die anyway.
Yitu didn't know what the man was thinking, and he had no time to think about anything else.
Their car had been dragged by zombies at the rear, and the pickup truck's roofless cabin was no longer safe, but Jiang Weixiao, Meng Xian and others were still inside.
The pickup truck's speed was gradually decreasing. Too many zombies were dragging the car, forcing them to stop.
“Abandon the car.”
Just as they were about to reach the secondary shelter ahead, exclamations from Hu Zaozao and others were heard from the back of the carriage.
After Yitu finished saying this, he took the lead in opening the car door.
Ou Cheng also reduced the speed of the car to the minimum accordingly. The moment Yi Tu landed on the ground, pain and zombies rushed towards him.
And just as the zombie pounced on his face, Xu Heng immediately gave the order.
So those zombies with hideous and terrifying faces just stood there in a daze, looking at a loss.
"I'm so grateful for your trust in me! But it's not always the case that I can react as quickly as this time!"
Xu Heng quickly jumped out of the car and pulled the man up, saying unhappily.
Yitu smiled at him and said, "I'll tell you in advance next time."
Xu Heng snorted to express his dissatisfaction.
After everyone else landed, Ou Cheng turned the car around suddenly and rushed towards the group of zombies.
Xu Heng looked in his direction and couldn't help frowning.
Soon, the relatively sturdy pickup truck knocked over a group of zombies. Ou Cheng had jumped out of the car long before that. His forehead and arms were all scratched and bleeding.
The fire was quite big, temporarily stopping a group of zombies who wanted to move forward, giving them time to enter the shelter.
However, before they could touch the door handle of the shelter, the heavy iron door opened from the inside out by itself.
Behind the door was a strange yet familiar face. The man was dressed in black, had a handsome face and a gentlemanly smile.
In his hand was a flower umbrella that had not yet been opened, and the tip of the umbrella ribs, as cold as bone china, was pointing in the direction of Yi Tu.
"I've long heard of you, Queen of Hearts."
Yi Tu was caught off guard by the flower umbrella, but his expression remained unchanged, without the slightest surprise. It was completely within his expectations.
A petite woman soon walked up behind Huasan. Yitu knew that this was the mate of Huasan, the sika deer, that Song Jingchen had mentioned.
Sika Deer smiled softly at Yitu, "Nice to meet you, hello, Queen of Hearts."
"What do you want to do?"
Before Yi Tu could speak, Gu Yongnian, who had finally reacted, asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Huasan tilted his head and a strange look appeared on his face.
"We will do whatever you do."
"Weren't you doing quite well in the outer circle before?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yongnian's face turned ugly in an instant. He wanted to say something, but Huasan's killing umbrella had already been opened in front of him.
It was a bone umbrella without an outer shell, and its eight cold, white ribs emitted a strange light.
Yitu knew that the flower umbrella had two forms, but she didn't expect the second form to be so scary.
"It seems like what you and Xiao Song said is similar since we first met."
When Huasan heard Yitu's words, his expression changed slightly, "You..." know Xiaojing.
However, before he could finish his words, a loud noise suddenly sounded behind them.
Huasan's gaze passed through Yitu, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his face turned ugly.
Seeing the man's reaction, Yitu turned around and looked back, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It would be more accurate to say that the zombie tide stopped here rather than saying that the zombies stopped ten meters away from the shelter.
They surrounded the area, and silence spread.
Under the protection of twelve A-level commanders, a woman in a sexy red long dress stood on the shoulder of the five-meter-tall zombie king Hei Tu.
The woman had a delicate face and a good figure. She was not wearing shoes on her beautiful white feet and just stepped directly on the Zombie King's shoulders.
Her eyes glowed slightly red, and she looked through the others and stared at the flower umbrella and the sika deer standing at the door, with a beautiful yet cold smile.
"Dong Huan, are you satisfied with Xiaoyue's ID card?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Tu had an idea. The Jack of Diamonds whose identity card was snatched away by the deer seemed to be called Yinyue.
And this person...is probably the first subordinate of Cube King Xing, Cube Queen Yun Yao.
