The white light made the figures and faces of the men in black robes appear even clearer. The forest that had been peaceful just a moment ago suddenly turned into a strange place where ghosts and monsters roamed everywhere.
The team was in chaos. They had never seen such a strange scene or such green-faced, fang-toothed monsters. They were already uneasy because of the various rumors about this planet, and now that they found out that the rumors were true, they became even more panicked.
The captain of the team was relatively calm, and tried his best to scold the team members who wanted to desert and shout. However, those people could no longer hear the captain's scolding, as they were so scared that their souls were about to leave their shells.
ghost!
ghost!
There's a ghost! ! !
It was not just the Ninth Team. Except for the direction where Zhou Zhou and his team were, all the teams in other directions encountered local indigenous people, and their reactions were almost the same.
Screams and gunfire were heard from everywhere, but because they were too far away, even though Zhou Zhou had good hearing, he could not hear the wailing and terrified screams coming from afar.
But he noticed that Al was smiling, as if he had seen something funny.
"What's wrong? What happened to Molan and the others?" Zhou Zhou guessed that Al might have discovered something through his mental power, and immediately asked.
While using her mental power to detect movements in different directions, Elvia explained to Zhou Zhou the scenes of the Mo people pretending to be ghosts and scaring people.
"Haven't those people played Nightmare City?" Zhou Zhou couldn't help but ask. After all, in Nightmare City some information is public. For example, in most copies one can choose to become a ghost after death, as well as some NPCs that left a deep impression on players. Molan is now considered an NPC whose information is semi-public.
Elvia chuckled: "These people are all desperate criminals. As long as they log in to the star network, they will be monitored by Zeus, so they basically won't log in to the star network. Even if they want to get information, they will only use some small-scale internal networks."
So none of them have played Nightmare City? No wonder I would be scared by such a simple method.
Zhou Zhou really wanted to go and see the scene. Ever since he upgraded to an intermediate player, he found that he had gradually developed some evil tastes. He wanted to see what expressions those frightened people would have.
It’s just a pity that they still have their own tasks to do.
It was not known whether Molan knew that they had prepared countermeasures and was ready to take advantage of the situation, but no one blocked them on this road, so the third team moved smoothly straight towards Zhou Zhou and Elvia.
The captain of the third team held the communicator with a serious expression. He could no longer receive messages from other teams, and no one responded to his messages.
I don’t know if there is something on this planet that blocks the signal, or if they have been killed?
The captain hesitated, not knowing whether he should turn back or continue moving forward. However, thinking about how furious Prince Alank would be if he returned empty-handed, he decided to continue moving forward.
The aircraft was flying at a low altitude, and the place it passed by was becoming more and more desolate. It looked like there would be no one here at all. The team leader looked at the unresponsive instrument and wondered if he should change direction.
Suddenly, a small red dot appeared on the instrument, and the captain immediately ordered to speed up.
"They're coming soon," said Alvia.
Zhou Zhou nodded and poked Alvia's shoulder with his finger: "Hurry up and lie down. Don't you want to pretend to be dead? Leave the rest to me."
Alvia grabbed Zhou Zhou's rebellious fingers, and the slightly cold touch made him realize that Zhou Zhou in front of him was just a virtual body formed by data.
But no matter whether it is a virtual body or something else, for him, as long as it is Zhou Zhou, it is enough.
Alvia closed her eyes and left the rest of the time for Zhou Zhou to play.
Their plan was actually very simple, which was to create the situation when they had just entered the planet, with Elvia injured and unconscious, Zhou Zhou asking for help, and then being picked up successfully.
Zhou Zhou is not a physical entity, so even if those people want to hurt him it is simply impossible. Besides, the current situation still requires Elvia to be alive, so they don’t have to worry about being shot before entering the opponent’s base.
Zhou Zhou squatted on the ground and looked at Elvia. He didn't know how he did it. His face, which was rosy just now, had become extremely pale. It was even uglier than when he was unconscious when he first entered this planet.
Feeling nervous, Zhou Zhou immediately pushed Alvia and whispered, "Al? Al?"
"Hmm?" Alvia opened one eye.
Zhou Zhou: "...It's okay, just close it."
It was really just an act! It's so realistic. He thought Al had passed out again during his disguise.
Soon, Zhou Zhou also heard the sound of the aircraft.
It was time for him to perform.
The aircraft was getting closer and closer to the red dot, and all members of the third team were on alert.
"Captain, there's someone over there."
Some team members had already seen Zhou Zhou waving desperately not far from the aircraft.
The lights of the aircraft illuminated the road ahead, and a man suddenly appeared on the wasteland covered with gray stones and soil.
Zhou Zhou, wearing a white shirt, looked even whiter under the light.
The body formed by data and light appeared somewhat translucent under the strong white light, making his entire body appear hazy.
At the same time, Zhou Zhou's beautiful face appeared on the aircraft's display screen. The sudden appearance of such a person in the wasteland made the team members feel a little unreal.
"Is this a ghost?"
A team member looked at Zhou Zhou's face and asked blankly.
Although they had heard of ghosts on this planet, the experiences of the third team were completely different from those of the other teams.
The other teams encountered real "ghosts" that made their spines chill and their souls fly away.
The third team encountered a very good-looking and adorable "sexy ghost" who was asking for help.
Many people even let down their guard when they saw this face. After all, what kind of threat could a cute-looking boy pose?
Those who can become captains have all experienced many ups and downs. Although they were a little disappointed that this person was not the target they were looking for, the appearance of such a person in the wasteland was indeed suspicious?
Alank's instructions were to leave no one alive except the two target persons.
The captain did not get off the aircraft, but asked four team members to go down and investigate. If the other party had no relationship with Elvia, they would be dealt with immediately.
The aircraft stopped in front of Zhou Zhou, but Zhou Zhou did not step forward immediately. He waited until someone came out, then he shouted to them, "Come and help."
Although his voice was still that of a clear boy, his tone did not sound like he was asking for help at all.
Originally, he planned to treat these people as passers-by asking for help, but when he saw these people for the first time, he found that their clothes were very similar to those of the royal guards, so he immediately changed his strategy.
Because Zhou Zhou did not step forward directly, the team members who came out did not immediately point their weapons at him.
When they heard that he actually asked them to come over to help, several team members looked at each other with complicated expressions in their eyes.
This person's luck was so bad that he happened to meet them. Not only did he have no one to turn to for help, but he was also in danger of dying.
"Are you injured?" A team member looked Zhou Zhou up and down, but found that Zhou Zhou was unusually neat and tidy, and did not look like he was injured at all.
He immediately became alert. After all, how could a person who was in distress and asking for help in the wilderness be so clean and tidy, with even a faint halo on his face?
Zhou Zhou had no way to deal with this. After all, he had no physical body. Even if he rolled on the ground, it was impossible for him to get any dust on him.
So before the other party could speak, Zhou Zhou took the initiative and said, "Are you from the Royal Guard? His Majesty Elvia is injured. Take us to get treatment immediately."
Several team members didn't expect that they would actually meet someone related to Elvia.
"Where is His Majesty?" The team members clenched their weapons and asked calmly following Zhou Zhou's words.
Seeing that the other party ignored his clothes, Zhou Zhou immediately pointed to the other side and said, "It's just in front. I'll take you there."
Zhou Zhou led the way in front, exposing his back to the sight of several people so that they would lower their vigilance.
The team members followed him and soon found the person lying on the ground.
The reason they didn't notice him before was because Zhou Zhou attracted all the attention, and the place where Elvia was lying was out of the reach of the aircraft, so the team members didn't notice him at the first time.
At this time, the light shone on Elvia's pale face, confirming that this was really the Emperor of the Empire. Several team members were a little bit unbelievable. After all, that was the Emperor of the Empire, how could they be caught so easily?
It's like a dream.
Although Alank hid very deeply with the help of some people, he also committed some acts of robbery for survival and money, so he was also hunted by the empire.
The Empire showed no mercy to these criminals and pursued them with great intensity. If they had not had something to rely on and had not escaped into the wormholes in time many times, they would have been caught long ago.
Now the man at the pinnacle of power in the empire is lying weakly in the wilderness. He can be made to disappear with just a move of his hands. This seems like a dream.
These people were all staring at Elvia in shock. One of the team members who came to his senses first, his first reaction was to point his weapon at Elvia.
After all, what makes this Majesty famous in the galaxy is not only his looks and power, he also possesses the most powerful mental power.
Zhou Zhou had his back to these people. Although he couldn't see what they were doing, he sensed their murderous intent.
All directed at Alvia.
Zhou Zhou pretended not to know what the person behind him was doing. He took a few steps forward and knelt beside Elvia, stroking his cheek with one hand.
"Someone is here to rescue us, Al. Just wait a moment. You will be treated soon. The treatment facilities in the palace are very complete. I'm sure your mental strength will be healed when you return to the palace."
The expression on his face was completely different from the arrogance he showed when facing his teammates. He was concerned and nervous.
When Zhou Zhou stepped forward to "care" for Elvia, he deliberately chose a position to block the muzzles of the guns directed at Elvia. It's okay for these people to shoot him, but Elvia is a flesh and blood body, and he will really die if he gets shot.
Although it couldn't stop these people's murderous intent, this position could slightly block their vision. Even if they wanted to shoot at Elvia, they would definitely bypass him or shoot him first.
Anyway, just let Al, who has his eyes closed, be on guard.
Naturally, these people did not dare to really kill Elvia. After all, this was the person that Alank specifically wanted. If they killed her and took her back, they would be the next to die.
"Are you, Zhou Zhou?" Looking at his expression, he should be the emperor's rumored lover, right?
"Um."
Zhou Zhou turned his head and when he saw these people pointing their guns at them, his eyebrows raised and his eyes widened: "What are you going to do? Pointing guns at His Majesty!"
It's like a kitten with its fur standing on end, showing its claws ferociously, but still weak and powerless.
Several team members laughed. One of them put away his gun, walked up to Zhou Zhou, and twisted his arm behind his back, ignoring his stern rebuke.
"You carry him up." The team member who clamped Zhou Zhou said to the others.
Two people lifted Elvia in an uncomfortable posture, and one person vigilantly observed the movements around.
When they brought the two people onto the aircraft, even the captain was very surprised.
Unexpectedly, they found Alvia and his lover first.
Alvia had her eyes closed and her face was pale, she did not look well, but the little lover looked really good, but he kept making a lot of noise and looked very spoiled.
The team leader wanted to touch Zhou Zhou's face, but he was glared at fiercely. Then he remembered that Alank was very interested in him, so he withdrew the idea.
If this little lover spoke nonsense in front of the prince, he could not guarantee that the prince would let him go.
However, the team leader felt something was strange.
He looked down at the instrument. It clearly showed that there was only one person outside. How come two were caught?
The instrument must be broken.
Anyway, the person has been caught, and they are very familiar with Elvia's face. The prince sometimes even uses the photo of the emperor as a target to shoot.
Although some people privately laughed at this behavior as a child's play, Prince Alank, who had no status or power, could not find any other way to vent his anger in this way. After all, the identities of the two were already worlds apart.
Now the emperor and his little lover are in the hands of the prince. It goes without saying that the fate of these two people will be extremely miserable.
Forget it, I'd better go and report back quickly. What happens next has nothing to do with them anyway. And they will definitely get a large reward this time. Even for the sake of money, they must hand over these two people to the prince safely.
The reason why the tyrannical Alank has so many "loyal" subordinates is not because he has any superb means of controlling them, but because he pays them the most.
This is what many desperate criminals value most, so no matter what attitude Alank has towards his subordinates, there are still many people who are willing to work for him.
The aircraft turned around and flew back in the direction it came from. Zhou Zhou was still trying his best to act unruly and willful, but he also knew his limits and stayed by Elvia's side. He would only curse at anyone who tried to separate them.
Because he couldn't curse, all Zhou Zhou said were a few words like "How dare you!", "You are so bold!", "Do you know who this is?" etc. These were not even curses and had no threat at all. Instead, they made the crowd watch the fun. They did not doubt Zhou Zhou's identity at all. After all, Zhou Zhou looked and had temperament that really looked like a well-educated aristocrat. He even couldn't curse, which was in line with the setting of aristocrats.
In addition, his fierce appearance was quite cute, so these desperadoes did not have any ill feelings towards him, and some even secretly sympathized with his subsequent fate.
Zhou Zhou was so tired. He used to stutter when he told lies, let alone such a difficult role. He was using up all his strength to act. It was much more tiring than passing a level.
Soon the aircraft entered the large spaceship and parked it. Everyone pushed Zhou Zhou down from the spaceship, and Elvia was also carried to the cockpit.
The moment they entered the spaceship, Elvia had already used his mental power to quietly and slowly grope along the route of the spaceship.
The speed cannot be too fast. Although his mental power level is currently the highest in the empire, there may be high-level mentalists on the spacecraft who may notice something unusual. He can only reduce the speed and cover the spaceship slowly.
It will take about ten minutes.
Just hold on for ten minutes.
Zhou Zhou also memorized the terrain and the surrounding defenses along the way. There were not many people on the spaceship, and most of them had been sent out and had not returned yet.
When the door of the cab opened, Zhou Zhou looked inside, wanting to know how many people were inside, but he was met with a strange yet familiar gaze.
The movement at the door also attracted Xia Yan's attention. He looked towards the open door with a faint gaze, but he saw the person who had made him lose in the game at a glance.
Surprisingly, it was really that Zhou Zhou.
