The two men's cryptic remarks left everyone completely baffled.
But there was no time to worry about that now. Seeing that the two big shots had reached an agreement, everyone quickly ran into the Black Tower.
If we don't go in soon, the people covering the rear outside won't be able to hold on.
After the players entered, those with distracting items temporarily diverted the snow beasts' attention, giving everyone time to discuss.
After everyone entered the Black Tower, the first player to step forward activated the defensive rune in his hand.
The next second, light shone, enveloping the entire black tower.
However, the group remained vigilant and kept a close eye on the snow beast outside.
Finally, the time for using the illusion items ended, and the snow beasts, regaining their senses, sniffed the human scent and roared as they surged toward the Black Tower.
Before they could even pounce on the players, they were blocked by the barrier created by the defensive rune, which angered the snow beasts so much that they bared their teeth and claws and desperately rammed into the barrier.
Fortunately, the defensive talisman was quite strong, and no matter how the snow beasts attacked, it couldn't budge it in the slightest.
Seeing this, the players breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took this time to rest.
Treat the wounds, check the equipment, and it would be best to reinforce the entrance to the Black Tower. After all, even with defensive equipment, there's no guarantee that the snow beasts won't break in.
The players got busy, rummaging through the warehouse to find a large amount of supplies for defense, and those with experience in this area were particularly generous.
The sheet metal was fixed layer by layer, and some hidden weapons were installed. Some players also provided some small props that they didn't usually use.
After entering, Xiao Jin ignored the players around him and went straight to the monitoring room.
Before she could even touch the doorknob, the door was opened from the inside. Looking up, Xiao Jin met Jian Yiqiu's eyes.
Are you alright?
When did you get back?
The two of them were stunned as soon as they opened their mouths.
Jian Yiqiu's eyes crinkled into a smile: "It was too cold just now, and the rocket launcher ammunition was also exhausted, so I left the roof. It wasn't long, maybe ten minutes or so!"
"I just came up from down here. Shao Jing and the others are fine, so I thought I'd come and help! Are you alright?" Jian Yiqiu asked again, and Xiao Jin nodded.
"It's alright, the doorway is blocked for now, we don't need to do anything!" Xiao Jin refused Jian Yiqiu's help.
Jian Yiqiu glanced at Xiao Jin and saw that she did indeed seem unharmed, so he didn't take her refusal to heart.
Is the situation outside very serious?
The two entered the conference room, shutting out the noise from outside.
Sitting in the chair, Xiao Jin glanced at the time and took out some snacks such as steamed buns, soy milk, pumpkin porridge, and pies.
Take advantage of the time you still have to replenish your energy, otherwise you never know when your next meal will come!
The two didn't care whether they had washed up or not, and started eating right away while the food was still steaming.
"Not great, but there's still a chance." Xiao Jin said, picking up a steamed bun and stuffing it into her mouth.
Mmm~ it's crab roe!
"Oh, right!" Jian Yiqiu suddenly looked up: "I just saw a few traps on the roof. Did you set them?"
At that time, Jian Yiqiu was bombarding the snow beast horde with a rocket launcher, and occasionally he would also hit the ice surface.
Later on, the snow beasts got smarter and started to spread out as they landed on the island. Using rocket launchers would be too wasteful, so Jian Yiqiu switched to sniper rifles.
However, since sniper rifles can only inflict limited damage, Jian Yiqiu mainly targeted level 1 and 2 snow beasts.
But just then, he noticed several obvious oddities in the snow.
The scattered snow beasts inexplicably gathered, and then a cloud of green mist exploded from the center of the gathering. Whether it was due to the green mist or not, the snow beasts began to kill each other.
Along with the blood came several roars.
Jian Yiqiu frowned, then began to examine the sniper rifle through the scope, the crosshair swaying in the fog.
Why is this fog forming? Are there people nearby?
After a while, Jian Yiqiu suddenly realized that there was no one there, but someone had set a trap in advance.
After thinking about it, there shouldn't be anyone else but Xiao Jin!
Seeing this, Jian Yiqiu aimed at the several places where the snow beasts were gathered and fired three cannonballs in succession, taking the opportunity to kill many of the snow beasts.
Upon hearing his question, Xiao Jin paused in her porridge-drinking motion, as if she had remembered something.
"Oh, I set it up!"
“I think it was you. If it were someone else, they would have mentioned it to me.” Jian Yiqiu said, “Was it when the bridge was blown up?”
Xiao Jin nodded: "You still have two machine guns, right?"
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Jian Yiqiu pushed the soy milk in his hand forward. "Yes, we have plenty of bullets too. If you want to use them, I'll go get some for you in a bit."
Xiao Jin took the soy milk, inserted a straw, and took a sip: "No need, I'll go with you in a bit, and you can use the machine gun."
"Yes, no problem!" Jian Yiqiu replied calmly without asking about Xiao Jin's plan.
………………
After finishing their meal and learning that Jian Yiqiu could still tolerate it, the two left the conference room and reappeared on the ground.
Midway through, Xiao Jin turned into the warehouse and placed the machine gun inside the storage space.
Along the way, many players shared Xiao Jin's idea and took this opportunity to recover their stamina.
Players are now quite well-off with points, and they've all stocked up on food from the shop in their backpacks. Xiao Jin and Jian Yiqiu were eating, and so were the other players.
"Has the big boss eaten yet?"
"Brother Jian, why aren't you downstairs?"
Along the way, the players greeted the two of them warmly.
Regardless of Xiao Jin's identity, players admired her strength, and everyone witnessed Xiao Jin's performance when facing the snow beast on several occasions.
Especially the "Thunder Lock" event the day before yesterday, which made all the players very excited.
In addition, after spending more time with him, they realized that Xiao Jin was just a cold person on the surface. In reality, he was much better than those who were full of scheming.
Over time, everyone came to admire Xiao Jin and wanted to befriend her.
They assured everyone that they had no ulterior motives and that it wasn't because she was good-looking...
As for Jian Yiqiu, he is cheerful, loyal, smart, and responsible. Many players often regret that he is just a game NPC.
If this were placed in a survival game, he might very well be a top player.
"I feel alright, so I didn't go down. How about you guys? How are your injuries?" Unlike Xiao Jin, who had a calm expression, Jian Yiqiu answered the players' questions with great enthusiasm.
"Sigh~ I won't die!" The man's tone was somewhat dismissive.
Jian Yiqiu smiled but remained silent.
At this moment, Xiao Jin had already arrived beside Gao Ya.
She glanced at the horde of snow beasts pouncing on the light barrier and asked, "How is it? Is the barrier showing signs of collapsing?"
Gao Ya put her hands on her hips and said, "No, it's just a matter of the next hour and a half! But we need to be prepared to have Song Chao use props in advance."
