Chapter 106 Safe House
In the empty corridor of the nursing home, a wheelchair carrying two people was speeding.
Xu Zhiyan was tired and anxious, and couldn't find where the elevator was. He had no choice but to walk around for a while and return to the emergency passage.
Gan Mi is already crying out for help.
If he hadn't seen the young man pushing the cart sweating profusely and with a pale face, he would have thought that the other party did it on purpose!
Out of desperation, he even lowered his requirements.
"...You, don't just throw us down, push the wheelchair backwards!"
Gan Mi was very worried that Xu Zhiyan would not have enough time to run, so she lifted his wheelchair and threw him downstairs like Xinan was taking out the garbage. The VIP ward was on the top floor, and he was weak right now. If he was thrown down directly, he would probably break some bones.
"Why do you have so many problems? If you can, I'll sit in your wheelchair while you push it!"
When Xu Zhiyan heard the request, he couldn't help but glare at Gan Mi.
It turns out that where there is comparison there is harm.
Compared with Xinan who was as quiet as a chicken, Gan Mi, who was paralyzed in a wheelchair, was chattering and making comments, making the already chaotic scene even worse.
After passing through the escape passage, the wheelchair stopped in front of the stairs.
Seeing that the boss behind him did not catch up, Xu Zhiyan held on to the handrail of the stairs and gulped down oxygen.
Gan Mi was choked and defended herself, "It's just a two-and-a-half-star dungeon boss! Why are you running away? Go and solve it!"
He has begun to regret it.
If I had known earlier, I should have let that idiot Xinan die!
Although this dungeon wiped out all the players, it was ultimately just a low-level dungeon.
Even though this BOSS has apparently been raised to the highest difficulty by players, no matter how much it is upgraded, it will never be more difficult than a three-star copy.
Gan Mi is a well-known violent player.
He felt that if he could move, he could easily crush the BOSS's head.
Correspondingly, since Xu Zhiyan was able to control and defeat Xinan’s monster in the punishment copy, it seems that his combat power is not low.
But Xu Zhiyan refused to take action no matter what.
Gan Mi couldn't help but suspect that the other party was deliberately messing with him!
"no."
After hearing Gan Mi's doubts, Xu Zhiyan rejected the proposal without thinking.
He knows very well what his level is.
The main system had been suppressing him, so even though he had obtained a lot of items and weapons through his own tricks, his mental strength was low and he could hardly use any of them.
Skills? Not to mention.
Even Jin Sheng's dog can awaken skills in the dungeon, but he, a player, hasn't acquired any skills yet.
That greedy trait is just a toy!
If he were to kill the BOSS now, at least two disposable attack items would be wasted.
High-attack items with no mental power restrictions are priceless, and usually have a limit on the number of uses. It hurts like hell to use them once.
Why kill the BOSS? Just kill him!
"Didn't the dungeon prompt say, 'If all players are wiped out, the NPC will need to manually kill the BOSS and repair the dungeon.' There are more than just three NPCs!"
He pointed at the strange movement outside the safe passage and whispered, "A fight has started. It should be other NPCs joining in."
As he spoke, he tiptoed over and pushed the wheelchair over, opening the door a little.
As expected, across the corridor, countless medical staff from the sanatorium, with their heads split open and sharp teeth exposed, threw themselves on the director, the boss, risking their lives.
Pieces of flesh flew everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere.
This scene was so shocking that Xu Zhiyan felt a little nauseous.
Seeing that Xinan and Gan Mi had indifferent expressions, and after confirming that they were safe for the time being, he was a little confused and asked, "Why do we have to kill this BOSS?"
He can understand that players need to kill the BOSS to pass the level.
But why do players have to kill the boss when the whole team is wiped out? Do you have to kill the boss to leave the passage for the drops to drop?
After hearing the question, Gan Mi realized belatedly that although Xu Zhiyan was in the same dungeon as him, he was essentially a newcomer who had only entered the dungeon three times.
"Because the copies of the game will not be repeated, there is no place for this BOSS in the next copy upgrade plan. It must be eliminated."
He slowed down his tone when explaining to Xu Zhiyan, no longer being as aggressive as before.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the current scene will be upgraded, and the death or remains of this BOSS will become a clue to the new copy."
Afraid that Xu Zhiyan didn’t understand, Gan Mi even gave some examples.
"For example, we often find things like diaries and preserved images in dungeons to obtain past information about the dungeon."
Not all past information is fabricated by the main system.
"Purely fake copies cannot work well. The main system must also follow the rules when creating copies."
After listening to this, Xu Zhiyan nodded, pursed his lips and said nothing.
He quietly looked at Gan Mi, who was still unable to move, with mixed feelings.
Gan Mi knows too much.
This person has a deep understanding of the game and accurate judgment. These seemingly complex contents are easily interpreted by him... It's so familiar that it makes people uneasy.
If Mad Dog is a madman with full force, he likes to kill people indiscriminately.
Then the Smiling Tiger has a high combat power and a sufficient IQ BUFF, making it much more difficult to deal with than a mad dog.
...I want to kill these two people more and more.
After talking for a long time without hearing Xu Zhiyan's reply, Gan Mi couldn't help but ask: "Isn't what I said clear... Speaking of which, Xu Zhiyan, you are the player with the worst luck I have ever seen."
"No, very clear."
Xu Zhiyan shook his head in reply.
Just like what Gan Mi said when they first met, it is a terrible thing to let a potential rival go.
He wanted to kill.
Anyway, we are not in the dungeon now, so it should be okay to kill him. He has already proved that he escaped from the enclosed space with other players.
Unexpectedly, before Xu Zhiyan made a decision, Gan Mi suddenly laughed.
"Xu Zhiyan, you are too narrow-minded, aren't you? I just said that you had bad luck, but you actually wanted to kill me?"
These words scared Xu Zhiyan, who was hesitating whether to draw his knife.
What kind of ability is this?
Mind reading?
"What murderous intention are you talking about?"
Even though he was extremely panicked, he still acted as if he didn't care because he was afraid that Gan Mi would cheat on him.
Perhaps the killing intent came and went quickly. Gan Mi, who couldn't explain it himself, explained calmly, "I have a tool that can detect the killing intent of people around me. If it exceeds a certain level, it will give an early warning."
Although it is impossible to point out who has the murderous intention, there are only three people here, and Xinan, a guy with a little brain, would not have the murderous intention towards him.
Eliminating those two, only Xu Zhiyan is left.
“…This item is pretty good.”
Xu Zhiyan's mouth twitched, and he answered awkwardly, and gave up the idea of killing the two men.
Forget it. Players of Gan Mi’s level might have other life-saving items on them. If I can’t kill him with one strike, it will become a bigger trouble later.
Fortunately, Gan Mi did not take these murderous intentions to heart.
He was just a little puzzled. It was fine that Xu Zhiyan wanted to kill him in the copy, but why did the other party still have murderous intentions now that they obviously had a good relationship?
Thinking in her mind, Gan Mi silently labeled Xu Zhiyan as 'stingy'.
He compromised and said, "Don't say that you have bad luck. Go and deal with the monster, and we will leave as soon as possible."
Hearing Gan Mi attribute the murderous intent just now to talking, Xu Zhiyan did not defend himself.
But when faced with the suggestion of killing the monster, he still refused: "No, no, killing this monster consumes too much energy."
Worried that he might have murderous intentions towards Gan Mi again, Xu Zhiyan pushed the wheelchair with one hand and quietly returned to the top floor.
"I just saw the morgue. Let's hide there and come out after we kill all the NPCs."
He didn't want to expose his weakness. Sometimes a strong and false shell could withstand a lot of trouble.
There is a heavy iron door outside the morgue, which provides a good level of safety.
“…”
Gan Mi opened his mouth, but no word came out.
Ignore the scene of monsters fighting each other.
The wheelchair was pushed into the morgue.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Zhiyan felt a chill. The temperature here was much lower than outside.
Xu Zhiyan touched the raised hairs on his broken arm, opened an empty box where the corpse was placed at random, took a closer look, and said with satisfaction: "There is no bed here, you can go to the morgue cabinet to rest."
This is still a dungeon after all, and all the players are dead.
He wondered if he could take advantage of the battle between the NPCs and the BOSS to collect the bodies of other players and see if there was any profit to be made.
"No!"
"OK."
There was a huge contrast between Gan Mi's reluctant refusal and Xinan's obedient acceptance.
Xu Zhiyan decisively ignored Gan Mi's words.
"I'm doing this for your safety."
He needs to use a wheelchair, and it's not a good idea to pile the two of them on the ground, so it's better to find an excuse.
A few minutes later.
The two men, unable to move, were stuffed into the morgue.
Listening to the sound of the morgue door opening and closing, Gan Mi lay in the morgue with a look of despair on his face.
"Xinan, are you sick? Do you like lying in such a cold and dark place?"
Perhaps because he had an inexplicable liking for Xu Zhiyan, he tried to put the blame on Xinan for being stuffed into the morgue.
"You didn't resist."
Xinan replied coldly. Compared to Gan Mi's reluctance, he seemed not to care at all that he was lying in the morgue and was in a good mood.
“…I can’t move.”
Gan Mi retorted.
Unfortunately, Xinan didn't buy it and exposed the other party's words: "You must have a way. The consumption of props is a drop in the bucket for you. I can feel that you have recovered a lot."
After these words were spoken, the morgue fell into a long silence.
A few minutes later, Gan Mi began to mutter to herself in a voice that no one else could hear.
"I wonder if he'll take care of me."
Xinan is right.
As a player who ranks higher than Xinan in the points ranking list, and also the owner of a famous trading store in Shell, Gan Mi is very powerful both in ability and wealth.
At that time, using recovery items to trap Xinan in the copy was indeed the best solution in an emergency after his mental strength was completely overdrawn.
But after entering the sanatorium, in just one hour, after entering the morgue, his functions had recovered a lot, and he could actually use some of the props.
But he just wanted to know whether Xu Zhiyan would abandon him.
Once a strange thought appears, it cannot be suppressed.
Gan Mi summarized it.
"I didn't resist just now. Maybe I'm mentally ill. I don't think he will come back to find us."
After saying that, he shut up and lay obediently in the morgue.
"He will come back."
Xinan is very optimistic.
As an intuitive player, he just felt that Xu Zhiyan would definitely come back.
"Tsk, you believe him. If that greedy guy comes back, it must be to cheat me of my points..." Gan Mi rolled his eyes, not knowing who to tell.
But what was strange was that why did he sound like he was expecting something in his tone?
Could it be that he was also bewitched by Xu Zhiyan like Xinan?
After thinking it over and over again without getting an answer, Gan Mi's heart calmed down. He thought, let it be, if Xu Zhiyan is willing to join them, then there will be an answer in the future.
at the same time.
Xu Zhiyan pushed the wheelchair and returned to the corridor.
The Boss Dean and other NPCs are nowhere to be found. Judging from the bloodstains and scars, they must have gone downstairs.
After acting alone, he relaxed a lot.
He first took out his mobile phone and took a look, and found that the live broadcast room was open. He was in the field of vision, with a sign of [NPC patient in advanced ward] above his head.
The comments were noisy and full of hahahaha.
Probably because it didn’t involve any key information, it was not blocked this time.
[Hahahahahahahahaha Little Millionaire stuffed Boss Gan and Mad Dog into the morgue.]
[I am dying of laughter! But I don’t understand why Boss Gan is so honest today. Shouldn’t he have other props? ]
[I don't know, maybe Boss Gan hasn't recovered yet so he can't move. ]
[Is the person above a newcomer? Have you not seen Boss Gan's record? Don't be fooled by his pretentious appearance now, the title of violent breakthrough player is not in vain. ]
[Although his frontal attack power is not as good as Mad Dog's, Xiao Baiwan has given him an hour to recover, so he must have a way.]
[It was so funny. I went to Xinan’s live studio and saw that he was still complaining after Xiao Baiwan left.]
【What is Xiao Baiwan looking at? 】
[It looks like a piece of wood? What kind of prop is this? ]
[I guess it's a lucky blessing item. After all, his luck is really bad hahahahahaha]
Xu Zhiyan put away his phone and raised his eyebrows, feeling a little scared.
Damn, it’s a good thing I didn’t kill these two guys just now.
Gan Mi did have a backup plan.
However, he didn't want others to know that he could see the comments in the live broadcast room, so he planned to ignore the information.
Now that the live broadcast room is open, he has to be a little careful when he goes to extort money from the players.
This is a good opportunity to redeem the reputation that has been ruined by the system!
Soon, he found the player who had just died on the sixth floor. He was a man in his thirties with a broken neck and eyes wide open, dying with his eyes open.
Xu Zhiyan first squatted down and closed the dead player's eyes, then took off a ring from the other's hand and a bracelet prop from his wrist.
Although when playing games, one often makes a fortune by looting other players' leftovers.
But facing the real death of the player, Xu Zhiyan took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and gave the other party the respect he deserved.
"It's fate that we meet. When we get out, I will bring your relics to your friends. If your friends see the live broadcast, this item will be considered as a reward."
He glanced at the ring in his hand. On the inside of the ring was written the words "I love you forever". It was probably a wedding ring.
After putting the person on the wheelchair, Xu Zhiyan found an empty room and laid the dead player flat on the ground.
"Finding a place to bury is indeed too luxurious for us players, but lying here is better than lying in the corridor. It should not be stepped on by monsters."
After saying that, he took the things and left to look for other corpses.
And in Xu Zhiyan’s live broadcast room.
The audience followed his movements, going from laughing at first to not being able to laugh anymore later.
The comments were silent for a long time, and finally after Xu Zhiyan dealt with two more corpses, some people couldn't help but watch and broke down.
[…Why! Why do we need to collect corpses! Everyone dies randomly, why do people in this instance have a small fortune to collect corpses!]
[Wuwuwuwu, I don't accept it. I also want Xiao Baiwan to collect my body! ]
[…There’s no need to go upstairs! ]
[Alas, our defense is broken. Our lives are indeed not worth much. ]
[I can’t laugh anymore. Damn it. There’s a bench in my eyes. Why do you have to remind me of the cruelty of this game?]
[Oh, everyone, please be careful with your emotions, be careful of being blocked, and don’t spread negative energy! ]
It turns out that although the players in the live broadcast room seem to be actively commenting most of the time, in fact not everyone is like that at the beginning.
The main system is very clear that negative emotions will be transmitted to everyone, thus affecting the enthusiasm for guessing.
So players can be excited, angry and curse, or laugh out loud, but they cannot express negative emotions.
All negative comments will be blocked.
What’s more, if you keep spreading negative content, your points will be deducted and your live broadcast viewing account will be banned.
【Everyone, don't be depressed, stand up! 】
【Wow, wow, wow, I'm standing up. 】
[I declare that Xiao Baiwan is my ideal type in the world. ]
[…upstairs? Because he will collect the bodies?]
[Although I think that Xiao Baiwan touched the corpse in order to get props, he really did collect the body! ]
[Yes, I think the main system said he was greedy before, and he is indeed greedy, but he has a bottom line.]
Xu Zhiyan had no idea that his act of collecting corpses had caused an uproar in the live broadcast room.
Most of the time, he chooses to avoid high-intensity conflicts and completes missions in a roundabout way, so he does not face death as many times as other players.
I collected corpses all the way to the first floor and collected more than a dozen props, making a lot of money.
Pockets filled with keepsakes from dead players.
Just when Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to count his harvest, he discovered that the BOSS and other NPCs were fighting on the lawn nearby.
The battle seemed to be entering a white-hot stage.
The bodies of the NPCs were piled up on the ground.
Xu Zhiyan moved his nose, the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.
Hiding in the building, he watched the BOSS Dean holding an NPC nurse in each hand and directly crushing both of their foreheads. He felt a little jealous and gasped, then called up the system panel.
"What is the success rate of the NPC in eliminating the BOSS?" He has begun to doubt whether the NPC can win.
[Not necessarily. If all NPCs are unable to eliminate the BOSS, the future upgrade direction of the instance may change.]
The answer that popped up on the game panel still deserves a beating.
Seeing that the dean was killing more and more crazily, Xu Zhiyan hesitated for a moment and did not join in rashly. He turned back to the morgue.
“Squeak—”
Hearing the door of the morgue being opened, Gan Mi, who had just been lying in the morgue in deep thought, instantly perked up.
"squeak--"
The cabinet containing Gan Mi was opened, and he looked at Xu Zhiyan who came back from climbing the stairs breathlessly.
"Why are you back?"
He clearly wanted to see the other person, but his words came out with a different tone, filled with impatience.
Xu Zhiyan didn't care what Gan Mi was thinking.
He thought about the information he got from the live broadcast room... This smiling tiger in front of him had plenty of money and props in his hands, and now he seemed to be pretending to be stupid.
Damn, who can resist not making a fortune from this?
He bit his lip, his expression a little nervous, and pointed to the location downstairs: "The BOSS is quite strong, the other NPCs may be finished."
Gan Mi narrowed his eyes and said when he heard it.
"Then go and kill the BOSS."
This time, Xu Zhiyan did not refuse. He nodded and expressed his thoughts.
"Okay, but after all, the three of us are all NPCs. We have to share the good times and the bad times. Someone has to pay and someone has to do the work."
"In order to make everyone feel involved, I have come up with a good idea. You pay 200,000 points, Xinan provides the props, and I work hard to fight the BOSS. It's fair, right?"
Gan Mi's expression froze on his face.
"Two, two hundred thousand points?"
Although he was rich, it was still hard for him to believe that Xu Zhiyan would ask for two hundred thousand yuan.
"What... Do you think 200,000 is too little to show your ability, and you want to give me 300,000?"
Xu Zhiyan performed an over-interpretation on the spot.
"...No, I think two hundred thousand is just right." Gan Mi denied it immediately, fearing that Xu Zhiyan would ask for an exorbitant amount again.
He wanted to take out his props, stand up and fight the monster himself, but for some reason, he felt that he should continue pretending.
In the end, Gan Mi still gave Xu Zhiyan 200,000 points.
After getting the points, Xu Zhiyan suddenly doubted what was said in the live broadcast room. He felt that Gan Mi was really unable to move, otherwise who would be so stupid as to spend so many points.
When it was Xinan's turn, the other party was as generous as ever.
Ten minutes later, Xu Zhiyan came downstairs holding a high-damage technology cannon.
[Name: Turbo High Explosive Cannon]
[Level: A]
[Type: Attack]
[Introduction: A technological weapon with high damage and high explosive power. It attacks both enemies and friends indiscriminately, and has a chance to kill the opponent with one strike.]
[Notes: The damage range is wide and it is easy to cause accidental injuries. Players need to use it with caution. ]
[Spiritual Threshold Limit: 100]
After reading the notes, he put the things away with a cold face.
No wonder this thing has no weight in his hand and he can’t use it after playing with it for a long time.
Putting away the technological weapons, he took out some high-level useless items from his own prop library - items that could enhance the abilities of certain types of monsters.
Set the monster type to a nurse that pounces on the boss.
Looking at the nurses' bodies that were instantly swollen with muscles, Xu Zhiyan resisted the urge to curse.
What kind of main system would develop potions that enhance monsters in a world where players are killed? Isn't this simply insane?
Sitting on the steps, listening to the monsters' roars, I saw the nurses quickly gain the upper hand.
Xu Zhiyan pulled out the main system panel and started trying to do something.
"There's something wrong with your system, so you locked us out. Now this dungeon needs an outsider like me to clean up the mess. Should the system consider giving me some compensation?"
Perhaps because the bargaining this time was too complicated, the game panel dialogue system has become very intelligent.
[It is detected that the player has gained enough benefits in the current copy. ]
[That’s about it.]
The gaming system is intolerable.
It has never seen such a greedy player!
