Chapter 243: Prequel to Infinite Highway
[Animal group active attack detected, human group skills unlocked]
The moment the broadcast sounded, Li Yuan suddenly steadied his body and remembered to use one hand to grab the backpack strap that he had just quickly unfastened.
But the stone in the backpack was really heavy, like a self-tracking cannonball, and it hit the tiger's claws that had already stretched out.
“Ahhhh!!!”
There was an instant scream from outside the door, and the tiger's claw was broken with blood and flesh flying everywhere. It was soon replaced by an animal that was larger and more ferocious.
"Fuck, tear them up for me! I want to eat them alive!"
Normally, such serious injuries would at least make the attackers more or less clear-headed, but it was clear that their adrenaline was being secreted rapidly and they were not normally excited.
There was a hot, fishy smell in the corridor, which was blown in by the wind after the door was smashed open.
Li Yuan had pulled the backpack back. He slapped the stone in the bag twice. The little guy moved angrily for a few times, but soon calmed down.
If a child is quiet, he may be up to something bad.
Li Yuan quickly put the bag on his back, and this time he changed the buckle: "Annie, you and Fan Xi go to the captain's room and confirm Mo Wen's situation."
There are a total of three women in the team, Aunt Huo, Annie and Fan Xi. The latter two young ladies have real combat skills.
"Okay, I'm going to beat these ghosts to pieces with my fists."
Annie patted her bag, and after the skill was unlocked, several robot models with gleaming metallic luster and extremely cool shapes quickly flew out of her bag. They were regarded as classics in some handicraft circles.
[Working at work, I get paid to build models and collect data, and after work I use my salary to buy models and figurines. Isn't this reasonable? Using work to support a hobby is the meaning of life for a craftsman! 】
【Gao's series of multi-type fighters X6】
After these robots of different series flew out of the bag, the largest one was only half a person's height, but the attack power of their weapons should not be underestimated.
There was a lion-headed man, a tiger-headed man, and a rhinoceros with sharp horns blocking the door. Three blue and white robots on Annie's body flew out and were the first to emit electric light.
After the lead guy had his hand broken, the three behind him also collapsed to the ground. Annie and Fan Xi jumped out by stepping on the bodies of these big guys.
Annie was agile and quickly broke through the encirclement, but with her numb hand, she accurately grabbed the ankle of Fan Xi who was lagging behind.
It was a black bear, with blood between his bared teeth. Look at the guy lying next to him, there was a bite mark on his leg.
It is hard to imagine that players who were once human beings could recover by eating the flesh and blood of their companions.
"You guys from the human camp, do you really think we are vegetarians?"
Transforming into animals is just an additional enhancement to their physical fitness. The attacked have professional skills, and they also have them.
[The dignity of a bricklayer is the art of mixing mortar, laying sand, and making bricks and tiles! ]
[The careful mixing of yellow sand and cement, when it solidifies, nothing can escape, building a wall to hide a corpse is also a technical job. ]
A pile of cement mixture similar to black sesame paste suddenly overflowed from the player's sleeves.
Fan Xi stood still and kicked the other person away. He was not afraid of the player who was grinning like a bear. Then, dark tiles grew out of the ground with him as the center, and each tile had a jagged mouth.
[During the construction of tiles, please check whether there are cracks or defects on the tiles. If they are not flat, your body will pay the price! ]
Annie also noticed that the big guys who were stunned by the electric shock stood up again. Fan Xi raised his right hand and said, "You go first, I'll follow."
Annie made an OK gesture and left a small mecha nearby to lead the way for Fan Xi later.
After taking a look at the narrow corridor, Fan Xi replaced the black and white chess pieces that he often used to cause great damage with the less commonly used chess pieces.
"The Chu River and the Han River divide the two sides." She muttered to herself.
The tiles that were growing all over the place suddenly seemed to be separated by a barrier. It was light yellow, and the chess pieces and chessboard that most people were familiar with directly occupied the entire corridor.
The surging mud and sand on the floor near the mason and the tiles with their mouths wide open, like beetles, were suddenly divided into different small grids, like a rolling cement nine-grid hot pot.
"Do you know how to play chess? Let's play a game."
In the surprised expression of the bear-headed bricklayer, the soldiers, cannons, and horses in Fan Xi's hands all came to life.
Soldiers in armor, gun muzzles shining with cold light, and war horses raising their front hooves after a long neigh.
Fan Xi himself stood in the position of the head coach: "My skills are fair, and you also have the chess pieces I have."
On the other side of the Chu River and Han River, the cement that was confined to different chessboard lines was still rolling, and the tiles with jagged fangs next to them were also desperately hitting the black cross lines, but they could not cross the constraints of the chessboard.
Fan Xi raised his hand and moved the first chess piece.
"But unfortunately, after a few minutes, you will not be electrocuted."
The chessboard world is her world.
The corridor in front of the Wisdom Eye team's door was blocked by Fan Xi's chessboard on one side, and on the other side, players with animal heads on their heads continued to rush over.
When one falls, the second one will rush forward by stepping on his companion's body.
Some were so hungry that they would even kneel down and start to eat their unconscious companions. They were too lazy to save them and just wanted to eat a few bites while they were still hot.
However, those who could make it here were all players whose instincts were dominated by large carnivores, so soon, someone on the spot was awakened by the pain of his calf being bitten, and they started fighting among themselves.
After Li Yuan asked the two female players to go to the captain's room, he quickly understood the situation in front of him: "A Guang, prepare to turn on the camera and investigate the situation on the ship."
The animal camp and the human camp should have different advantages during the day and at night. Li Yuan needs to know the general situation of the ship before deciding whether to move rooms.
That kid A Guang had already retreated to the innermost part of the room. His skills were mostly auxiliary, the only one with great destructive power. He would have to sacrifice his camera, which he was reluctant to do for the time being.
[GoPro sports cameras are being linked together, screen sharing...]
A Guang placed the camera at his feet, and several large interconnected screens immediately appeared in his hands. He quickly tapped on the keyboard and used various editing software to splice all the images together, like a large surveillance system.
This is all thanks to the robots brought by Annie, and the sports cameras given by A Guang are also worn on her chest in advance.
Unlike the miscellaneous soldiers under Qi Fan, the members of Li Yuan's team were all companions who had cooperated with each other in countless games.
In front of A Guang, there was an orthopedic surgeon holding a sledgehammer.
Wu Hanyu said without even turning his head: "Don't worry, we in the orthopedics department are the strongest people who can carry a sledgehammer. Just operate your monitoring with peace of mind, I won't let anyone get close to us."
[The tallest and strongest, if orthopedic surgeons were not wearing white coats, their daily work would be more like that of a slaughterhouse. But rest assured, doctors are kind-hearted. While giving teammates the warmth of spring, they will also give their enemies a quick death.]
[Big hammer 80, small hammer 40, below 20, no medical insurance. 】
Wu Hanyu picked up a sledgehammer and swung it at a skinny werewolf who broke through the defense line at the door.
Crack.
There was a crisp sound from the werewolf's head, and at the same time, there was the sound of an X-ray film being taken. The black and white film was superimposed on his head, allowing everyone to clearly see that his skull was cracked like an egg.
The guy who was knocked down by a hammer had an extremely strong vitality: "Hungry, meat."
"Ho, gurgle, ho,"
The sound of swallowing flesh and blood came from the werewolf's mouth. He actually chewed his tongue into pieces and swallowed it.
"Hoo, Gulu."
The werewolf laughed and his mouth opened wide, and a lot of blood began to flow out of his mouth. At the same time, a knife appeared in his hand.
【Butcher】
[In front of any creature with flesh on its body, this knife will cut all the meat like cutting tofu]
[Meat is being replenished, bloodthirsty butcher mode is activated, physical strength and attack are doubled. 】
Wu Hanyu reacted immediately. These animals also have professional skills. While they already have a physical bonus, this butcher actually chose to eat his own tongue to replenish his combat power. What a madman.
In terms of physical strength, he and the butcher are about the same, but there are still a steady stream of animals outside trying to break through the partition of the room, and Li Yuan and Aunt Huo don't know whether they can stop them.
A large number of business cards in Aunt Huo's hands were also scattered out.
[Housekeeping company staff are being called, 5 cleaners, 5 security guards]
Where the card landed, ten shadows like plasticine slowly stood up, each holding either a baton or a cleaning tool set of detergent and rag.
Aunt Huo was holding a sign that said "Cleaning in progress, do not disturb."
Li Yuan was different from everyone else. He held a keyboard in his hand, and a large number of digital symbols appeared on both sides of his body, like two suspended sky curtains.
"How many more can you handle later?"
Wu Hanyu was sweating profusely as he dealt with the wolf-shaped butcher: "This one is troublesome enough for me!"
Aunt Huo immediately asked three cleaning workers wearing gloves and rubber figures to go over and help.
"I can probably handle two more here."
Li Yuan said okay, and Aunt Huo threw the sign out. Li Yuan did not catch it with his hands, but operated the keyboard a few times and made the thing float directly at the door.
[Prohibition props are in place, cameras are in place, and inanimate NPCs are in place. 】
[Script is being generated quickly...]
[Room mini-game has been generated, new rules: only three outside members are allowed to enter the local area]
Large strings of 0s and 1s formed into countless chains, turning the entire room into an airtight nest. Under Li Yuan's operation, the chains swallowed up the [Do Not Disturb] sign.
[Ding——The key item has been integrated! The hunt begins! ]
Those hot-headed guys at the door were let in two at a time. They thought they were lucky and got to the front. Little did they know that the standard of this room, designed by Li Yuan, was to let in three at a time, surround them and kill them slowly.
Li Yuan's skill is a complex bug-like skill that is quite difficult to use, but as long as he cooperates well with his teammates, it can perfectly reverse the situation.
【Independent Game Maker】
[Most of the people who make independent games are poor. They create everything from game planning to framework building, even every line of data and every program by themselves.]
[No matter how much sweat you shed or how much money you spend, as long as the code can run, it is good code]
[Now, start creating your own world]
Li Yuan was holding a small keyboard and almost leaving an afterimage.
Behind him, the stone that had been making a lot of noise and trying to do something shady and smash a few orcs' heads to vent his anger suddenly became quiet.
Li Yuan frowned, and together with Aunt Huo dealt with the two animal players who had rushed into the room, and he would pat his backpack gently when he had time.
If the situation wasn't urgent, A Guang would probably complain again. Li Yuan had gained experience in raising children and would pay attention to the child's condition as soon as there was no movement.
As a result, Li Yuan actually got feedback.
A child's voice, full of admiration and excitement, sounded like the background music.
[You guys are awesome!!! Is this the game you were talking about? You are really good at making games! ]
At this time, Li Yuan had just typed a new line of rules: [No pollution should be caused in the room at will, especially saliva and blood stains. ]
Aunt Huo summoned a cleaner and a security guard with her business card. One was responsible for clearing away the traces of battle left by her own side, and the other was responsible for attacking the traces of battle left by the enemy.
Li Yuan pressed the enter key, and the rules came into effect. The rubber man security guard, who was originally an ordinary man, seemed to have obtained some special BUFF. His physical strength increased, and with one force, he pressed the two orcs to the ground together.
Even though they beat their opponents half to death, these players who had transformed into beasts were somehow extremely tenacious. The butcher that Wu Hanyu and several security guards were dealing with was still struggling, and every time he couldn't win, he would take a bite of his own flesh.
Although the werewolf butcher's body was full of holes and pits from his own bites, if it weren't for Aunt Huo's help, Dr. Wu probably wouldn't have been able to defeat this short-statured butcher.
After all, his main job is a medic!
Li Yuan discovered that Shitou was only occasionally playing the role of creating atmosphere. After praising and expressing his feelings a few times, he ignored him and started to constantly play the videos made by A Guang.
Annie had basically got the surveillance footage of most areas of the ship. Because most people were rushing towards them and Fan Xi was blocking the way on the other side of the corridor, the deck was almost empty.
Annie's mecha model was flying everywhere, and she even took advantage of the chaos to take pictures of the scene at the door of Qi Fan's room.
That place is truly like purgatory.
Annie's figure running and swearing also appeared in the video:
"These guys who chose the animal camp are basically crazy! They are not only attacking us, they are also not sparing their own people!"
Some players were so hungry that they couldn't bear it anymore. They couldn't wait to rush to Li Yuan and just tore one of their own people apart and started eating them in the room.
No wonder Qi Fan didn't cause trouble right away. He was busy controlling the situation and hanged the guy who broke the rules and attacked his own people directly in the room with a cable.
Then, in order to appease the vulnerable groups who were also dominated by appetite but were already scared to the point of crying and vomiting, Qi Fan tore off the limbs of the guy hanging from the ceiling and distributed them to the group of old people and children in the corner.
As long as we have eaten meat, we are still a group.
The scene projected on the screen was truly disgusting.
Regardless of whether they are a strong group or a weak group, they are all dominated by appetite. If they can capture prey from the enemy camp, that would of course be better. If not, they will eat their own people.
Li Yuan even had reason to suspect that Qi Fan was deliberately killing a chicken to scare the monkeys in order to appease the vulnerable groups.
They are weak in their own group, but not necessarily when dealing with outsiders.
After all, Li Yuan saw at a glance that the girl who was suspected of hypnotizing A Guang was also staying in the corner, with a pair of coiled goat horns on her head, shivering.
This group of trembling guys are either sheep, rabbits, or birds, or they are mimicking animals like chickens and ducks.
So the internal levels are divided based on the physical fitness of the animal form?
The ship was in complete chaos. Most of those who took the initiative to attack Li Yuan and his team were big guys with muscles on their brains, and there were also a few wolf-formed players with strong abilities and fast movements.
Then what kind of animal is Qi Fan?
Suddenly, the picture shook and Qi Fan suddenly turned around and glanced towards the camera.
Annie and A Guang screamed at the same time, but the content of their screams was different.
"Ahhh my C-type mecha figure!!!"
“My 4K camera!”
The picture over there suddenly disappeared, and it was obvious that the surveillance camera had been unplugged at the same time as it was discovered.
The shot of Anne continued, and she had already run to a position close to the captain's room.
"Fortunately, fortunately, no one has come to Mo Wen's place yet."
As soon as Annie's voice came out, Li Yuan said sternly: "Put on your goggles, the captain's room you see is not the real captain's room!"
From what Annie observed with her naked eyes, it was indeed the corridor of the captain's room, but to Guang and others who were observing this side through the screen, it seemed that Annie was running for her life on the deck, preparing to jump over the railing and fall.
"Depend on!!!"
The thin but extremely agile girl had no time to brake and half of her foot had already jumped off the deck.
There were circles of coils in her eyes, and it was obvious that she had been tricked without knowing when.
At the door of the captain's room, a girl with a pair of horns on her head, who almost blended into the environment, stood up.
She watched the little girl named Annie jump off the deck, then she turned around and knocked on the door of the captain's room. Her expression became exaggerated and her voice changed, becoming exactly the same as Annie before.
"Mo Wen!! How's the situation over here? The captain asked me to come over and check on you!!"
There was silence in the room for a while, and finally someone approached and walked behind the door.
"Annie? Why did you come here alone? Doesn't Fan Xi usually act with you?"
"There are too many people attacking us. She is blocking the captain's door. I came here to check the situation. Please open the door quickly. There are pursuers coming from behind!!"
There was a peephole on the door of the captain's room. Mo Wen probably lay on it and looked for a while. After a few seconds, he opened the door and let the girl in.
Li Yuan, who saw the situation over there through the screen, immediately knew that this girl was indeed a player with multiple hypnotic abilities such as images and sounds.
Through mechanical equipment, you can indeed see the truth of this illusion, but if you just look at it with your naked eyes, you are very likely to be fooled.
[Eh? Aren't you going to help him? Generally speaking, the guy in the captain's room is the weakest guy.]
Li Yuan suddenly heard the stone in his backpack talking.
From when did this little guy start to come back to life little by little?
Does it know the unspoken rules on this ship?
Li Yuan did not respond. He adjusted the screen to connect A Guang's skills and quickly determined that there was a small, extremely determined figure in a certain mecha lens, climbing up the wall of the ship step by step like a gecko.
That was Annie who almost fell into the water.
A Guang's voice also sounded relieved.
"I knew this girl had put on an exoskeleton for herself. I begged her to make me one, but she said she didn't have enough materials."
Annie was wearing a pink armor skeleton that was similar to the one on the mecha figurine, and a set of mechanical eyes on her head. She looked like a sci-fi warrior from the future.
"You're done for if you dare to hypnotize me!"
Li Yuan was actually a little distracted. After confirming the safety of his team members, he did not continue to observe Annie. Instead, he used the mecha camera that connected the abilities of multiple team members and slowly turned the lens towards the sea.
The dark picture kept getting bigger and clearer.
Even A Guang, who was usually noisy, slowly fell silent at this time, and all the words were swallowed into his throat. He originally wanted to remind Annie to pay attention to the bottom and not fall in, but now he didn't dare to let her look back.
The deep, dark sea is also the space they must cross now that they are on such a deadly ship.
Li Yuan finally understood why this place was called the River of Life and Death, or the River Styx.
He saw countless pale cheeks floating in the sea. Those places that he thought were white waves were all flat, like torn human faces.
In the densely packed dark part going down, you can see a lot of floating hair and dark, spliced and mixed limbs.
The sea was full of dead bodies. It seemed as if there was no water at all, but rather a liquid made from a bunch of crushed dead bodies.
And they in the sea were looking with their eyes open, pale faces and empty eye sockets towards the direction of the ship, with vicious and jealous expressions, watching the ship carrying living people sailing in the opposite direction of death.
