The next day, the system's mechanical voice announced, "Day 21 of the game." As soon as the words fell, heavy rain poured down. At the same time, the sky was filled with dark clouds and thunder roared.
After Su Han counted the newly acquired supplies, he muttered softly, "Are they planning to flood the camp directly?"
In a flash, Zhong Rui realized, "If the stream fills up the canal, the piranhas inside will run out!"
Su Han replied calmly, "Block the diversion ditch, and the stream water will not come over."
They put on their rain gear and filled the ditch with mud in the rain, finally blocking the stream.
However, Zhong Rui's face still looked grim. "If the heavy rain continues, it will only be a matter of time before the river overflows."
"Compared to this, shouldn't we worry about how to deal with the beast tide first?" Su Han said calmly.
"On a rainy day, can grenades, rocket launchers, and timed explosives still be used? Even if they are useful, the sky is covered with dark clouds, which greatly affects the vision. Once the attack deviates, it means more consumption."
"Besides, gunpowder is hard to get, and the stock is limited. After these days of crazy consumption, there are only about 30% of the stock left. Once the gunpowder is exhausted, it is only a matter of time before the defense line is breached."
Zhong Rui remained silent. As time went by, the pressure of survival became greater and greater, making people breathless. Suddenly, he said, "When the river is about to spread, how about we abandon the camp and start a great escape?"
Everything has two sides. It is true that building a camp can help players defend themselves well, but it also inadvertently limits players to a limited range. If you abandon the camp, then the world is big and you can go anywhere.
"Let's talk about it later." Su Han was not interested. "I have to remind you one thing. There are only two vitality potions left. If you run into anacondas, caimans, giant spiders and other creatures at the top of the food chain, you will basically die."
Judging from the current situation, the chance of encountering it is quite high.
Zhong Rui was speechless. If he couldn't live long after leaving, what was the point of going out? It would be better for the two of them to give up together when the camp was breached.
**
The rain was pouring down. The raindrops hit the ground, forming puddles of various sizes.
Su Han was chewing on some dry food, thinking in his heart, water flows to lower places, will the rain water in the puddles eventually flow into the river?
While he was thinking, a new wave of beast attacks arrived.
There was a roar in the distance, and the ground was shaking. It was obvious that a large creature was approaching. The sound of birds chirping in the air was heard one after another, and one could tell that there were a lot of them.
Su Han had a cold expression on his face, "The attack intensity seems to have increased again."
"It's the 21st day. According to the situation in the previous 20 days, the difficulty increases every 5 days." Zhong Rui answered casually.
"Let's start working." Su Han finished his dry food in a few bites, then stood up, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight.
Zhong Rui was helpless. On the 10th day of the game, he wanted to build a wooden house, but his friend said that she didn't have enough energy. She wanted to transplant man-eating trees and witch grass, set traps, and strengthen the camp guards. In desperation, Zhong Rui had to give in. Who knew that after all the efforts and the construction of several lines of defense, it was still useless, and it was doomed to fail.
After calming himself down and suppressing unnecessary emotions, Zhong Rui looked into the distance.
In a flash, a large group of creatures ran into sight.
Facing the dim light, Zhong Rui took a closer look and found that savanna elephants, grizzly bears, hyenas, and water snakes were rushing towards him together.
Su Han cut the rope.
The next second, several wooden cages fell from the sky, stopping some of the beasts.
But soon, the water snake slid away from the gap; the grassland elephant swung its trunk and threw the wooden cage away; the grizzly bear slammed the cage, and soon saw wood chips flying everywhere, and the cage was about to fall apart. Only the hyena was trapped in the cage, howling angrily, but he could do nothing about the cage.
As we continued to move forward, several water snakes accidentally fell into a deep pit and couldn't climb out no matter how hard they tried.
A grizzly bear accidentally stepped on witch grass and was immediately caught. It struggled hard, but accidentally touched the flowers of the man-eating tree, and its upper body was also tightly bound. It had a lot of strength, but it couldn't use it at all.
"The grassland elephants are a bit tricky." While muttering, Zhong Rui set up the rocket launcher and opened fire without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang bang bang", five rocket-piercing shells flew out, blasting the steppe elephant's skin and flesh to pieces.
Two unlucky ones were hit in the vitals and fell to the ground immediately, breathless.
Some of the water snakes fell into the trap, but a small number of them successfully passed the obstacle and entered the canal first. The piranhas were extremely ferocious and did not hesitate to eat the lunch that was delivered to their door.
Several hyenas overcame all difficulties and came to the river with great difficulty. However, before they could get into the water, the piranhas jumped out of the water impatiently, warmly welcoming the arrival of new rations.
Seeing the grassland elephants dying or getting injured, Zhong Rui murmured to himself, "Not even a little longer." He was about to continue firing, but at this moment several falcons swooped down and attacked him, grabbing, biting, or pecking.
Zhong Rui was unable to dodge and was scratched a few times, so he had to change his target.
At this moment, several grenades and timed explosives exploded around the grassland elephant. It was Su Han who seized the opportunity and made a finishing move.
After making sure that the crisis on the ground was resolved, she shifted her gaze to the sky - piranhas cannot deal with flying birds, so these will have to be dealt with by the players themselves.
Another grenade was thrown into the air.
The sound of "fluttering" was heard, and many birds actually took the initiative to avoid it. Then, a gust of wind blew, and the grenade was immediately blown away from the throwing track. The next second, the grenade exploded, but only injured the wing of a falcon, and the killing efficiency was extremely low.
The birds were scattered and not gathered together, so the effect of attacking them with a rocket launcher was not good. Zhong Rui simply changed his weapon and took out a special wooden spear and threw it over.
The wooden spear flew out at an extremely fast speed, with even a faint sound of breaking through the air.
After a while, the cries of birds were heard in the sky. Looking again, two birds were pierced by wooden spears and connected together.
Su Han picked up stones and a slingshot, took aim and shot.
It is not easy to clean up the birds. They are fearless and will still charge forward even if they know they will get hurt or die.
Every time this happened, Su Han would take out a dagger from his personal storage and stab it into Fei Niao's neck.
But there were too many birds, sometimes five or six birds would swoop down together, attacking different parts of the body. Often at this time, Su Han would use the stick to sweep horizontally. But even so, there were still times when he could not take it into consideration, and the shoulders, arms, calves, back and other parts were extremely vulnerable to attack.
After nearly half an hour, there were no more birds in the sky and the battle was over.
On the ground, there were several hyenas imprisoned in wooden cages, several water snakes in pits, and two grizzly bears tied up by man-eating trees and unable to move. Apart from these, all others were annihilated.
Su Han felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he sat down to catch his breath.
Zhong Rui looked solemn and whispered, "The beast tide is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with." It was unclear whether he was discussing countermeasures or talking to himself.
Su Han was too tired to talk, but she was thinking, of course she knew that the beast tide was difficult to deal with. In order to prevent any accidents, she even took drugs while fighting, not daring to neglect it at all.
"Hold on for a few more days, and then we'll retreat," Zhong Rui continued.
The gunpowder was obviously being consumed too quickly. Although the second job "Armor Piercer" supplied rocket launcher ammunition, it was a drop in the bucket and could not make up for the consumption. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before they could not hold on.
Su Han said nonchalantly, "When the system is shameless enough to send a large army of beasts to attack, or sends creatures at the top of the food chain to attack, we will retreat."
Zhong Rui looked far ahead. He felt from the bottom of his heart that that day was not far away.
On the 22nd day of the game, a grizzly bear, a jackal, a giant python, and more than twenty flying birds attacked together.
Because the wolves were very good at jumping and there were so many of them, a few of them actually took advantage of the chaos and ran into the camp!
At that time, Su Han was concentrating on aiming and shooting, and was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by a wild wolf. Fortunately, Zhong Rui reacted quickly, pushed the wild wolf away, and killed it with a dagger, thus saving Su Han from being bitten.
But he could hide from wolves, but not from birds. Several hawks and falcons took advantage of the chaos to rob him, scratching and clawing, leaving claw marks on Su Han's arms and back.
By the time he had cleared out the beast tide, Su Han was exhausted and wished he could just die.
After a short rest, Zhong Rui stood up and continued to work. He piled the extra soil from digging the river channel to the riverside, which raised the river bank, made it difficult for the river water to overflow, and the piranhas would not run out.
Then, he built a protective net on the inner side of the river, so that the next time the wolf jumped, it would be blocked by the protective net and fall directly into the river.
Su Han watched for a while, then silently stood up to help.
In fact, she was in a complicated mood at the moment. On the one hand, she felt very tired, and she felt that there was no need to continue to torture herself given the extremely high difficulty of the dungeon. On the other hand, she wanted to see how far she could go in the end.
Who knows——
On the 23rd day of the game, he faced death threats several times, but managed to avoid them narrowly.
On the 24th day of the game, Jiangjiang drank the last vitality potion at a critical moment and survived.
On the 25th day of the game, he threw out the stockpiled grenades, rocket-piercing shells, and timed explosives without holding back.
They managed to hold on for another three days.
**
In the office, Li Yue was very depressed. Every time he was excited and thought that the two scumbags were finally going to die, they miraculously came back to life again, which was very tenacious! Now that I think about it, the old saying still makes sense: the evil will last for thousands of years and will never die.
The staff member asked, "Manager, will the difficulty be increased for the 26-30 days?"
"Add!" Li Yue answered decisively.
At the same time, he thought that the gunpowder stocks had been almost used up, and if they could still hold on, it would not be unfair if they lost.
The staff member's fingers flew, quickly writing the program. At this moment, the number on the right screen suddenly changed to "0".
Li Yue was stunned for a moment, wondering why the efficiency was so high?
But the staff turned around and said helplessly, "At 9 a.m. on the 26th day of the game, the two survivors simultaneously announced that they had given up the game and asked to leave the dungeon."
Li Yue, "!!!"
Living too long is a problem, but leaving the instance on your own initiative is also a problem? !
"What happened next?" Li Yue asked expressionlessly, but he had actually already guessed the answer.
"What happened next? The system just let them out. They were eliminated at the same time, and their rankings were tied." The staff member turned his head and muttered softly.
Li Yue held his forehead, feeling that his old migraine problem had come back again.
In fact, in the later stages of the game, in order to get a better ranking, players on the same team often attack their so-called teammates. Enemies come not only from outside, but also from behind.
There were many players who applied to form a team in the final battle, more than a thousand groups. However, some of them fell out early, or were eliminated one after another. Among the thousands of groups, only one group announced that they would give up the game at the same time, and the picture style was particularly strange.
The author has something to say: Su Han (depressed): I can’t hold on any longer.
Many days later, still alive
Li Yue (with an accusing look): You said you couldn’t hold on any longer? Why are you still alive? You big liar!
