Chapter 238 [(*^▽^*)]
"How about we ask him who that reporter really is? What if he's lying to us?"
“I think whether he’s lying to us or not, he definitely won’t tell us if we ask him directly. After all, this NPC’s goal is definitely to escape from the hospital. If he tells us who the reporters are, what if we leave without him? That’s what he’s worried about.”
"Huh? Don't you think we might be overthinking things?"
Everyone looked at him. "What do you mean?"
"Perhaps this NPC is the reporter we're looking for?"
"Actually... I've considered this possibility before, and it's not 100% impossible."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Since he said there's not much time left, let's just assume there isn't much time left. It's already the sixth day, and tomorrow will be the seventh. I have a bad feeling about this."
"How about we finish this dungeon tonight?"
"That's what I think too."
"Let's get started. We'll divide into groups for the next round, and when the time comes, we must drop the bombs in crowded areas! Don't hesitate, everyone here is an NPC, so don't have any extra pity, mercy, or reluctance!"
"no problem!"
"it is known."
"I've done it once before, so it's not difficult once you've done it the first time."
"Let's get started!"
Everyone eagerly took on their tasks and left; tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Back in his office, Lin Leyou had a bad feeling. He took out his phone and texted Xue Rui, "Are you asleep?"
Xue Rui replied instantly, "Brother Lin, you're still awake."
Lin Leyou, "Is it what I thought?"
Xue Rui blinked. "What is Brother Lin thinking?"
Lin Leyou said, "I have a bad feeling."
Xue Rui smiled and said, "Go for it, Brother Lin."
Lin Leyou: "Oh, so you're making fun of me now?"
Xue Rui: "Absolutely not, I swear! But... tonight will definitely be very busy."
Xue Rui recalled the previous conversation once again. Wasn't he just pressuring these players to act quickly? Only by acting quickly could they clear the level as soon as possible.
Once the mission is complete and all the players have left, leaving only himself, he can finally have a proper private chat with Lin Leyou.
Unlike now, there's no way to find time to be alone together, and this time Brother Lin isn't even using my own image.
Having not seen him for so long, he had almost forgotten what Brother Lin originally looked like; his face was now somewhat blurry. He wondered if he could get a photo of him.
Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, could you send me a photo?"
Lin Leyou was a little stunned when she saw this. "Huh? Why?"
Xue Rui said, "What if Lin-ge can't recognize your face every time we meet in the future? I'm afraid I'll forget what you look like."
Lin Leyou's eyes lit up. If Xue Rui could forget what he looked like, that would be perfect. That way, even if they occasionally brushed past each other on the street in the real world, Xue Rui would only feel that he looked familiar and would not recognize him. That would be great!
"I don't have any photos on my phone, and I can't take pictures of my current appearance. How about I take some and send them to you after this is over?"
Xue Rui could only agree, "Then it's settled. Brother Lin can't go back on his word."
It's unclear whether Xue Rui noticed Lin Leyou's ostrich mentality. He was indeed trying to stall for time, but he never expected Xue Rui to not give him the chance.
Lin Leyou: "No problem, I'll definitely send it to you."
After finishing this game instance, he took a selfie and sent it to Xue Rui. Xue Rui would receive it the next time he entered the instance, so there was absolutely no way to delay the process.
Xue Rui was finally satisfied. "Then it's settled!"
Lin Leyou sighed deeply. Just as he was about to reply to the message again, there was a loud bang outside, followed by a thud. He could even see dust falling from the ceiling.
Great, those players have already started!
Lin Leyou had just reached the office door and hadn't even opened it when another loud bang came from outside. If someone had thrown a bomb, he calmly opened the door and ran out as fast as he could.
When he got to the elevator, he found that it was not working. When he looked outside, it was pitch black and the whole hospital was without power!
These players are amazing, it's only been a short time!
Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. From today onwards, he would never underestimate any player again; these players were truly destructive.
In that case, he had no choice but to go down the stairs, take out his phone, and make a call.
"It's me. How are things on your end? What's the situation?"
"Vice Dean, many places have been bombed. We are dealing with these issues right now. There are many people swaggering around, but it's no big deal, it's all a piece of cake."
"Remember to keep a close watch on the area around the hospital. Absolutely no one is allowed to leave. If anyone tries to break in, kill them on sight!"
"Yes, Vice Dean, I understand. I will give the order here and make sure no one who tries to leave gets away!"
Lin Leyou's biggest concern was this: "If anyone causes trouble elsewhere, we should make an example of them to warn others. We absolutely cannot let the entire hospital descend into chaos."
"No problem, the orders have been given, and everyone has brought their weapons."
Lin Leyou slowly walked down the stairs and soon arrived at the first floor. However, what greeted him on the first floor was not a security guard, but... a group of players and NPCs, as well as the security guards who were fighting with them!
Of course, things weren't quiet anywhere else in the hospital either. He even heard another loud explosion. It was obvious that a large number of people would be tied up in those places.
These players are really willing to go to such lengths to make sure he has no one left to use, but it doesn't matter, he has countermeasures.
"Remember, you must keep a close watch on all the walls and gates around the hospital. You absolutely cannot let a single person out. And if something happens elsewhere, you cannot use these people to go there."
"yes!"
After giving the orders, Lin Leyou put his phone in his pocket, then took out two scalpels and killed any NPCs who dared to approach him!
Dodging left and right to avoid the NPCs' attacks, and then using the scalpel to kill them, but it wasn't always possible to kill them successfully.
After all, he had only trained with Qin Xingyu for a short time, and his skills were not yet at a high level. If he made a mistake, he would immediately dodge, sometimes even in a rather disheveled manner.
After killing the NPC in front of him again, Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. Now he was surrounded by his own people: security guards in uniforms carrying knives, stun guns, and batons, and nurses in uniforms carrying large machetes.
He looked at the corpses lying scattered on the ground, including some nurses and security guards who had been killed, but in small numbers. Most of them were NPCs who had come to attack, but he didn't see a single player.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. All the players are throwing bombs, so it'll probably be a while before we get here.
Lin Leyou thought for a moment and decided not to stay indoors any longer. If these players threw a few grenades indoors, wouldn't they be wiped out?
Then all they need to do is find what they want on their own corpses. Wouldn't that make his death too miserable?
With that in mind, Lin Leyou led them all away from the building. He didn't go anywhere else, but instead took them directly to the hospital gate.
All the hospital buildings are a certain distance from the main gate, so anyone who wants to attack him would have to come straight at him, and the main gate also has the largest number of security guards.
Unlike the other sides of the wall, where there are many but they are relatively scattered.
As the target of the players' operation, Lin Leyou was naturally the focus of attention and was monitored in real time. Soon, the players knew his location.
Huajiao was immediately furious. "As expected of the BOSS, he knows how to pick a good place. Since he can't get the security guards to gather around him, he goes to the place with the most security guards. He's really something!"
Qi Liang: "So what do we do now? It seems that no matter how much chaos we create, the vice dean won't come here. We still have to go find the BOSS ourselves!"
"Of course we have to go in person. It seems that the BOSS has seen through our plan and doesn't care what's happening in the hospital. There are already nurses killing the NPCs who are causing trouble. Many people are scared and don't dare to move now."
Qi Liang's expression was grim. "If we are really suppressed by them, then our plan will have failed! We must go to the gate immediately and kill the BOSS."
Huajiao's expression was also not good. To be honest, if they didn't go now, they would have no chance once the security guards and nurses who were suppressing the NPCs causing trouble in various parts of the hospital were freed up.
"Let's go, now's the time! We need to hurry, we absolutely must hurry!"
When Huajiao said that, everyone had their own thoughts. It wasn't that they listened to her, but rather that they all thought the same way, which is why they didn't object.
All the players, along with the NPCs who were acting with them, rushed towards the gate.
In just one day, it's unclear how these NPCs managed to gather so many companions. They lost nearly seventy or eighty during the previous attack, all to buy time.
There are still more than 260 people following them and rushing towards the gate.
Hua Jiao took out his weapon, a purple weapon prop. Qi Liang's eyes lit up immediately when he saw it, "A bow and arrow?"
Sichuan pepper nodded, "Yes, it is indeed a bow and arrow, but these arrows need to be redeemed with points, which are ridiculously expensive. The system is so stingy!"
Fortunately, I had redeemed some arrows with points and had them in my backpack, so they're just what I need now. I hope I don't run out, or I'll have to spend points to buy more arrows!
These arrows aren't cheap! Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.
Sichuan pepper: "I'll launch a sneak attack from a distance. When you get there, remember to be careful and make sure the BOSS shows as many openings as possible so I can assassinate him as quickly as possible."
