Chapter 68 Fight
The villa area was dark and silent at night, with only a few street lights on both sides of the driveway that had survived the last meteorite shower.
This little light was not enough to illuminate the entire villa area.
At this time, the villa residents who heard the screams from afar closed their doors and windows, shivering in the basement, and were glad that the villa area was large enough and the villas were far enough apart, while constantly praying that the person who caused this tragedy would go to someone else's villa and not come to find them.
The other party entered the house, and it was obvious that the target was the white man.
A shrill cry of pain came from the villa, along with the dull sound of a blade cutting into the body and the laughter of the bald man.
The mixture of these sounds was simply disgusting.
You Xi's mind moved, and the remaining half bottle of [High Temperature Perfume] appeared in her palm instantly. She didn't want to ask the reason. There was no reason for perversion. She just wanted to make a quick decision, so she took out her most lethal weapon at the moment.
But [High Temperature Perfume] cannot be used in the villa. The space inside is narrow, and there are many furnitures, all of which are flammable. She was afraid that the whole villa would be burned down.
The rules of the meteorite rain have not been figured out yet. They have to live here for the time being. They need a villa.
While You Xi was thinking, she had already taken back the perfume. Her sight went from the drainpipe and windowsill of the villa all the way up, and she quickly planned a climbing route.
She walked silently across the lawn and climbed up along the drainpipe.
Drainpipe, windowsill, balcony, and finally she climbed onto the roof, trotting to the front of the villa. Going down was much easier than going up. She spent a while on the small windowsill in the attic, and then landed silently on the balcony on the second floor, and then jumped from the balcony to the lawn.
The smell of blood was several times stronger than before, and in a corner of the front yard, the dismembered person was still lying there. She turned around and kicked the door frame of the front door of the villa, then quickly retreated, using the sound to lure the people inside out. As expected
, the other party came out following the sound, without any hesitation, as if he had not considered that someone might be deliberately luring him out.
Perhaps he knew that someone was deliberately luring him out, but he had no concerns or hesitations about it, and seemed to be completely unconcerned. Is he a madman who does not know fear, or is he so reckless because he is too confident in his own strength?
When the bald man saw who had lured him out, that cold and frightening smile appeared on his face again.
A young girl, pretty and slender, with a neck so thin that it seemed like it could break if it was bent.
His hand holding the axe trembled with excitement: "Finally you got out, from your rat hole!"
He looked at You Xi's hand hidden behind her body, and his smile became bigger, "Let me guess, did you rob or use a grenade? Little girl, don't be afraid, you are so beautiful, I promise I won't kill you in one go, come on, let's play for a while?"
You Xi watched the other party approaching step by step with a sick smile that made people sick, and her fingers behind her silently adjusted the [High Temperature Perfume] from level 3 to level 4.
She didn't even want to give the other party time to struggle, and planned to turn him into ashes in seconds.
Since she saw the bald man appear in the surveillance tonight, she has always had a bad premonition. This is a very mysterious feeling - this feeling has been verified many times and has helped her many times. She
didn't know what kind of bad premonition she had this time, but from the moment she decided to kill him until now, this feeling kept her on high alert.
She didn't know why, the opponent was just one person, and she didn't have this feeling even when she was fighting against a group of black giant insects.
Obviously, as long as she used the [High Temperature Perfume], she could instantly kill him and turn him into ashes, but why at this moment, her inner vigilance not only did not decrease, but increased to an unprecedented level.
You Xi frowned, no longer hesitated, aimed at the person and pressed the nozzle.
In an instant, a five or six-meter-long flame shot out, illuminating the entire front yard.
The extremely high temperature of the flame turned all the nearby lawns into ashes, but You Xi soon felt something was wrong.
She took two steps back and stopped spraying. In the middle of the lawn that had turned to ashes, the bald man who should have turned to ashes as well smiled at her from behind his giant axe.
This smile was even more terrifying than before, as if he had found an unusually interesting toy.
"Haha, tasker?"
He spun the axe in his hand, and You Xi realized that there was a circle of transparent, bright halo around his axe. The halo was like a curved cover, protecting him from head to toe.
You Xi was secretly shocked.
She had only seen this kind of sci-fi protective cover on one person—Lin Wu.
The seemingly ordinary iron rod was actually a prop weapon that could be turned on in various modes, one of which was a protective mode with such a transparent halo.
Youxi finally knew where the mysterious sense of vigilance in her heart came from.
This is a tasker.
**
"Little girl, not bad, you are actually a tasker, and you can take out a special item with such great destructive power. Hahaha, you look surprised, but this is a weapon I exchanged for 800 points--"
The other party's laughter was paused for a moment when she looked down and glanced at the defense value displayed on the axe handle.
The weapon item originally had a total defense of 800 points and a remaining defense of 756 points, but now only has 688 defense points. In other words, in the past ten or twenty seconds, the attack of the opponent's weapon was equivalent to 68 attacks of a normal task target!
What kind of special item is this! ?
In addition to shock, there was also excitement and greed in the bald man's eyes.
He wanted to snatch this special prop away!
Although the other party's laughter was only paused for a moment, You Xi immediately caught several changes in his emotions at that moment.
It seems... the flames she sprayed just now did not have no effect on him.
It's good that there is an effect!
You Xi moved her feet, circled behind him at an extremely fast speed, and sprayed 4 levels of high-temperature flames again.
The flames were still blocked by the translucent halo. The first test result: the defense of the opponent's weapon is different from Lin Wu's semi-arc defense. It is a 360-degree defense without blind spots.
This weapon prop is more advanced than Lin Wu's.
Youxi's mind moved, and the [Air Hair Dryer] appeared instantly. When the opponent rushed over with an axe, she dodged to the side, then withdrew from the close combat range and used the [Air Hair Dryer] to attack from a distance.
Five consecutive air bombs exploded on the defense shield, but the opponent was still safe and sound, but anger gradually appeared on his face.
The second test result: The opponent's defense shield can also resist explosive attacks, but like flames, it will also have some effects on him.
What exactly is this effect?
The axe blade came at her from a distance with great force. Although the two were still three or four meters apart, Youxi's heart was alarmed. This was a sixth sense of sensing danger. Before her mind could analyze it clearly, her body had already moved on its own. She quickly bent back and rolled to the side to avoid the attack from a distance.
With a loud "bang", a tree not far behind her was directly split in half.
If she hadn't dodged just now, she would have suffered the same fate as the tree.
Youxi, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly jumped up, attacking at the same time with [High Temperature Perfume] in one hand and [Air Hair Dryer] in the other.
The opponent has a defensive shield, but she is still fragile. Even if she can dodge with her sharp intuition and extremely fast speed, it is not a long-term solution.
The best defense is offense. Since she is fragile, she will attack until he can't find a chance to attack.
Half a bottle of [High Temperature Perfume] can last about five minutes at level 4. She thought she would use up all five minutes, but when there was only a quarter of a bottle of [High Temperature Perfume] left, she heard the man surrounded by flames roaring angrily.
"Are you done yet, you fucking bastard!" He ran backwards and quickly exited the range of the flames. The transparent halo around his axe flashed twice and then disappeared.
The bald man roared angrily: "You are looking for death!"
He threw away the axe, took out a rocket launcher out of thin air, and tilted his head to aim and shoot.
You Xi had only one thought in his mind at the moment: hide!
At the critical moment, only a slight sound of breaking through the air was heard from the side.
With a puff, something seemed to break through the wall accurately.
The bald man's body froze for a moment, and then fell backwards. The rocket launcher in his hand was fired in the next second. With a loud bang, a huge fire exploded somewhere in the distant woods.
The rocket launcher missed because the bald man fell to the ground.
You Xi did not dare to slack off, and immediately went forward to check. He saw a bloody hole on the left side of the bald man's head. He lay there with his eyes open, and he had stopped breathing.
Probably until the moment of his death, he did not understand what happened.
You Xi turned his head in the direction of the bullet. At the other end of the yard, on the attic window sill of the third floor of the villa, Tang Yatong raised her head from behind the sniper rifle on the window sill.
Perhaps because it was her first time to kill someone in a robbery, her face was a little pale, but her eyes were calm and firm.
Beside Tang Yatong, You Qi, who was still frightened, also leaned out half of her body. She looked at her sister who was safe and sound in the yard and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, because she was worried about You Xi, she found a way to wake Tang Yatong up. She originally wanted to discuss with her before taking the next step.
As a result, when Tang Yatong woke up, she caught a glimpse of the bald man on the surveillance screen who was unscathed in the flames. This scene, which was beyond the cognition of ordinary people, made the two of them feel cold in their hearts.
They didn't even have time to discuss, and they picked up the weapon bag and left the air-raid shelter.
The two of them went directly into the villa from the back door. They were first shocked by the miserable death of the white man in the living room. Then, Youqi went up to the highest attic at Tang Yatong's signal.
Tang Yatong had practiced shooting for a long time, and usually treated gun snatching as a hobby. Whether it was hand-to-hand snatching, charging or sniping, she knew it all.
She knew that with her and Youqi's martial arts level, it would be a waste if they joined the battle rashly, so she thought of snatching from a high place.
She had been aiming for a long time, but she noticed that no matter how wonderful the weapon was, the opponent would remain unharmed.
Tang Yatong knew that she only had one chance, so she had to find the most suitable time. You Qi also held her breath and waited in fear, not daring to disturb her no matter how anxious she was.
Fortunately, at the last moment, they succeeded!
"Stinky girl!" Tang Yatong cursed lightly, but her tone was relieved after a catastrophe, "You dared to knock me out for the second time..."
You Xi looked at the two people, and infinite warmth rose in her heart: "Thank you."
At the critical moment, we still have to rely on teamwork...
However, when the two people in the attic packed up their things and came to the yard to discuss how to deal with the bodies, the bald man's body suddenly exploded with things as Tang Yatong approached.
"What happened to you?" You Qi asked when she saw the two of them staring at the ground in a daze.
"Sister, can you see it?" You Xi pointed to a silver card on the ground.
"What?" You Qi was puzzled.
Tang Yatong looked at a golden card floating in front of her and took a breath: "What's going on, what is this? System reservation card?"
You Xi looked in the direction of Tang Yatong's sight, but saw nothing.
**
There was a special card in front of Tang Yatong that You Xi couldn't see, and You Qi couldn't see the supplies, cards, stolen weapons... and even drinking water that were all over the ground.
After analyzing, You Xi felt that this strange state was probably due to the different identities of the three of them.
She could see the things that were exploding because she was also bound to the system and was a tasker.
But Youqi is not, she is just an ordinary person in this mission world. It is reasonable that ordinary people cannot see the things that explode after the death of the missioner.
As for Tang Yatong, the bald missioner died in her hands, so she is no longer an ordinary person in the mission world. The bald man's items only exploded after she approached, so it should be assumed that Tang Yatong can pick them up.
Youxi reached out and tried, she could touch and take those items.
So the rule should be: after killing the missioner, the items will only explode when the person who killed the missioner approaches, but after the items explode, other missioners can pick them up or snatch them.
However, there is a special card that other missioners can't touch or even see.
According to Tang Yatong's description, the card is golden, the size of a playing card, and the material is very special, like metal, but there is a flowing luster on it. After she took it from behind, a passage automatically appeared in her mind.
The general meaning of the content is that after she dies, she will have a chance to choose whether to survive in another form. If she refuses, she will face real death.
The remaining points of this bald tasker will be included after she officially becomes a tasker.
At this point, some things no longer need to be hidden.
After the three of them moved the three bodies to the driveway outside and burned them to ashes with [High Temperature Perfume], and then simply cleaned up the bloodstains inside and outside the villa and locked the door again and returned to the air-raid shelter, You Xi briefly told them about the tasker.
Of course, the system she was talking about was not the Star House, but the System Tower.
Probably because the end of this world has officially begun, her narration was not censored.
"So, you were also bound to the system after death, so you can come back?" Probably because of the two things of rebirth and space, Youqi quickly accepted the emergence of the third thing of the system.
She just felt distressed, distressed that her sister had to bear everything at such a young age (?)...
"My situation is a little special." Youxi didn't want them to misunderstand how good this system tower was. It gave her space, gave her abilities, and allowed her to be reborn... She was afraid that it would affect Tang Yatong's future choices.
Therefore, she told the other party very carefully that she didn't know much, but her situation was indeed a little special, but this system tower was not a good thing.
Its rules default: the person who kills the tasker can get all the prop cards and items of the other party, which means encouraging fighting. This is a very dangerous rule.
Until then, Youxi finally understood why Lin Wu was so surprised that she had not changed her appearance when he met her again in a new mission world.
Originally, there was only one way to complete the mission and get points in exchange for materials and props, but suddenly, the system offered another shortcut.
This temptation was too great. In a harsh mission environment, many people might put aside their principles and choose shortcuts.
She just didn't expect that there would be such a system appointment card, which informed a person of the existence of the system while he was still alive, and even gave him the opportunity to choose.
Youxi didn't know that such a situation was actually rare, and it should be said that the probability was extremely small.
Normal missioners will wear masks, and the mission worlds are also extremely dispersed. Unless they see each other when using special weapons and props, they will not recognize each other.
In addition, the probability of missioners being killed by ordinary people in the mission world is even smaller.
Just like the bald man just now, if Youxi hadn't used a prop with an incredible offensive power like [High Temperature Perfume] to wear down all his defense points first, Tang Yatong would never have been able to eliminate him by looting.
The whole thing, the right time, the right place, and the right people, can only say that the bald man was unlucky. He thought he could make a profit, but ended up giving away food.
Especially after taking a general look at the things that the bald man had just revealed, large and small real loot, five or six boxes of various bullets, rockets, grenades, seven or eight black cards, two silver cards, and various instant foods.
Tang Yatong showed a surprised expression after picking up one of the silver cards. Then she turned her palm over and the silver card disappeared in her palm. Then she touched the supplies on the ground and everything disappeared after she touched it.
She stared at her palm for a long time, then said to Youxi and Youqi: "I... have a space of about ten cubic meters."
Youxi: ...!!
Youqi: ...
**
Three days have passed since the fight.
During these three days, people drove their cars and brought their families to this villa area, pried open the vacant houses, searched the houses for supplies, and then closed the doors and windows and settled down temporarily.
The situation in Ruhr Town has eased a lot because of the arrival of external supplies and rescue.
Although the supplies and rescue that arrived were pitifully few, it finally gave the other people in the town and the villa area a glimmer of hope, which showed that the authorities of Country M had not given up on them. It didn't matter if there were not enough supplies for the time being, as long as they didn't extinguish the last glimmer of hope.
In the past few days, astronomers, planetary experts, physicists, and other experts from all over the world who had something to do with meteors and meteorites were nervously observing and calculating various data.
After all, there are many meteor showers on this planet every year. But now they are scared of meteorites. Even the meteor showers that were originally synonymous with "romance" will make people turn pale as soon as they are mentioned.
