Chapter 56: The tit-for-tat temporary expeditionary forces
Chiyou let his clone stop in the bathroom of a private residence.
The main body approached the residential area, and the moment he entered the corridor, Chiyou took out the "Kodel Shadow Cloak" that he had found in the stadium from his waist bag and put it on.
Although it was only a level 12 dark gold equipment, Chiyou did not discard the cloak because it had the stealth skill attached to it.
Level 1 concealment is not enough to block the detection of perception magic, but it can still interfere for a moment.
The moment Chiyou turned on his stealth, he burst out with all his agility and jumped up to the tenth floor of the house. After taking off all his equipment, he stayed in the bathroom, while his clone put on his original equipment as quickly as possible and rushed downstairs.
At the same time, in a room about three kilometers away from Chiyou, a young girl suddenly opened her eyes and said in disbelief: "The person is missing!"
"Lost? What happened?"
Hearing this, several people nearby immediately gathered around. They were all wearing quite sophisticated equipment, but there was a subtle aura between them that was not harmonious.
"It seems like something has blocked my perception. Wait, it's okay, it's just for a moment. There should be something in that building?" The girl closed her eyes again and said with a little surprise.
"Like the treasure chest on the fountain? I remember that treasure chest can offset your perception." said a middle-aged man. He seemed to have a good relationship with the girl, and the distance between them was closer.
"Well, that's probably it. He changed his ring. There must be a high-quality treasure chest inside." said the girl.
"So fast? The perception disappeared in just a moment, right?" Another man in full body armor asked in a questioning tone.
His equipment was very luxurious, with golden and dark gold light echoing each other.
This is the light that represents the level of equipment.
If you want to see whether the equipment someone is wearing is good or not, there are two ways.
The first is to see whether the equipment is exquisite in style.
High-grade equipment is not necessarily exquisite, but exquisite equipment is definitely not of low grade.
The second way is to look at the flashing light of the equipment.
However, the second method is difficult to work. Most people will turn off the light effect of the high-level equipment when they get it. For example, Chiyou is wearing gold, dark gold and sub-legendary equipment, but except for the ice jade suit that exudes cold air, the other equipment has no special effects at all.
But occasionally there are some snobbish outliers who like to tell others how good the equipment they are wearing is.
Such people are either idiots or so powerful that they don't need to worry about others' coveting them.
The middle-aged man glanced at him and said, "According to speculation, the masked man's agility is at least 800 points. He can climb to the top floor in an instant, so it's not surprising that he got the things. Are you really unaware of this, or are you simply questioning me?"
"How could I question you, my lovely team member? You know, if it weren't for that troublesome perception ability, two of my team members would still be standing beside me alive instead of becoming zombies." The man smiled and spread out his hands, and his armor made a clanging sound. Although he was smiling, his eyes and tone were not friendly.
"If that's the case, it's still a little off. Otherwise, how could you still be standing here alive?" The middle-aged man sneered.
"That's a lot worse. I'll let you know slowly in the future." A hint of ink appeared on the man's armor, as if ink fell into the water and expanded rapidly.
"No need to wait until later, let me know now." The middle-aged man's voice was mixed with murderous intent, and the long sword hanging on his waist began to tremble.
The tension between the two was getting more and more tense, as if they were about to fight at the next moment, when a lazy voice came from the side.
"Is this really a good idea? We gathered together to kill that lunatic, but we've already started fighting among ourselves before we even face the enemy. What's the point of gathering together today?"
The person who spoke was a woman. She was wearing a high-slit cheongsam, revealing a pair of beautiful legs. Her right leg was covered with a layer of golden markings that looked like a tattoo.
She lazily leaned back in her chair, looked at the two of them, and smiled charmingly, "If we really need to take revenge before cooperating, don't you have to return my team members' lives to me first?"
The middle-aged man turned his head expressionlessly, and the woman stared at him without showing any weakness. After a moment, the middle-aged man turned his head back and said, "Let's stop this time."
The man sneered, but didn't say much.
"Okay, it looks like we can work together normally." The cheongsam woman smiled and turned her gaze to the remaining people in the room: "Everyone has a grudge against each other, but since you can come here, you must be aware of the importance of the matter. We can talk about the grudge later. This is not our focus."
No one else in the room answered, but no one refuted either.
In the end times, it is normal for friction to occur between different teams.
It could be because of a resource point, a piece of equipment, or a special zombie.
Once I make a move, I will definitely not hold back.
The hatred between people cannot be eliminated by a simple external threat.
But it’s just like what the cheongsam woman said.
Things have different levels of urgency.
If the internal fighting continues now, everyone present will be chopped to pieces by that madman sooner or later.
Of course there is a possibility that the madman will leave the city after killing a few more people, so all we have to do is hide. But what if the madman doesn't leave?
Are you really waiting to be hacked to death?
"Little sister, where is that person now?"
The woman saw that the atmosphere among the crowd had eased a lot, so she looked at the girl with the perception skill.
"I just left the building and am killing zombies on the street." The girl said coldly. It was obvious that she had no good feelings towards this charming woman.
The woman ignored the girl's tone and looked at the middle-aged man: "You organized this temporary cooperation. Now it's up to you to decide when we should take action. The sun will set in three and a half hours. If night falls, some of our team members only have one or two pieces of dark equipment. Their vision is not good enough to stop his sudden attack."
"When he enters Haihe Street, the curse there can lower his attributes." said the middle-aged man.
The incomplete cursed doll was a special item he had obtained in a dungeon before. There were three of them in total, and he had used two of them. Now the last one was left.
He glanced at the armored man next to him.
This cursed doll was originally prepared for the armored man, but now it can only be used on the masked man.
The effect of the cursed doll is very simple. It curses the enemy and can reduce all attributes of the enemy by 30% within five minutes.
The disadvantage is that it takes a long time to prepare. After all, it is a defective version and cannot be used directly. The preparation time takes at least ten minutes. It is almost impossible to use it in the process of fighting with others. With these ten minutes, the victory or defeat would have been decided long ago.
It is basically used to weaken bosses in dungeons.
Or like now, set up an ambush in advance to ambush someone.
The triggering method of the incomplete cursed doll is very simple. After preparation, it can form a ten-meter perception range nearby. As long as an enemy passes by, the cursed doll will instantly pounce on the enemy.
Even if the trap is not triggered when the masked man passes by the street, they can still retrieve the cursed doll and set the trap again in another place.
If it doesn’t work today, try tomorrow. If it doesn’t work tomorrow, try the day after tomorrow.
The attributes of the masked man are really too high. Even if they join forces, even if they can win, they will definitely have to pay a considerable price.
No one wants to die.
Therefore, they could only weaken the masked man's fighting power as much as possible before the fight.
