Chapter 209 Collapse of the City (7)
During the brief hesitation, a lot of things actually passed through Su Yue's mind.
For example, the electronic sound heard at the beginning indicates that [the city has been occupied by evil forces]. These "patrolmen" obviously belong to the evil forces, so Yuna, who was attacked by them, is the opponent of the evil forces, that is, she is on the same side as the "saviors" such as Su Yue.
So logically, he should save his companions.
In terms of feelings, he does tend to favor Yuna a little more.
When rushing onto the rooftop, Yuna had been forced to the edge of the rooftop. The patrolman's headlights flashed red light surrounding her. The robot dog straightened the leash and barked at the girl.
Su Yue rushed forward in one step, and Cang Zhi followed closely behind and flew over.
The robot dog was about to pounce on Yuna. If she stepped back, she would fall, and if she didn't, she would be bitten by the robot dog. At the critical moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, and a white shadow flashed before Yuna's eyes. With a loud "bang", the robot dog flew out like a sack.
The patrolman who was holding the robot dog was also flown out.
At the same time, Yuna felt a lightness behind her, and someone squeezed into the narrow gap between her and the edge of the rooftop. Holding her shoulders with both hands, he easily brought her to a safe place in the middle of the rooftop.
Yuna turned around in surprise. After Cangzhi settled her down, he flashed forward and joined the battle with Suyue.
In terms of combat, Su Yue and Cang Zhi didn't have a clear division of labor, unlike when it came to decision-making. After all, they were both skilled fighters and had a strong rapport. For example, right now, Su Yue went to fight the robot dog, while Cang Zhi went to protect Xiao Yunai. Then, they teamed up to beat up the patrollers.
Time was running out, so Su Yue acted particularly quickly and efficiently. The dagger was not very useful in this environment. While he was kicking the robot dog, he had already snatched the weapon from the leading patrolman.
It's a gun, but not a bullet gun in the conventional sense. It's more like a ray gun or something like that.
The patrolmen were heavily armed, so the ray gun might not be effective, but Su Yue had no intention of firing. The ray gun was large and heavy, and carrying it was tiring. As a gun, it was a bit of a misfit, but as a cold weapon, it was just right in this scenario.
Su Yue held the gun barrel with both hands and pushed hard, and the butt of the gun hit the chin of the patrolman in front of him with a "bang", knocking him down directly. Then he swung it sideways, and the patrolman who wanted to sneak attack him from the other side of Su Yue was hit in the crotch by this swing and rolled out in pain.
"Kick it in!" Su Yue shouted at Cang Zhi.
If the two of them had no tacit understanding, they would definitely not know what this was talking about, but Cang Zhi understood what Su Yue meant. It should be said that the battle they rehearsed in their minds was exactly the same.
As soon as Su Yue knocked down the person, Cang Zhi threw them into the teaching building through the door on the rooftop, which was the passage they had just entered. Soon all the patrollers, including the robot dog, were thrown back. Cang Zhi slammed the door shut and held it shut with his shoulder. Su Yue shouted at Yuna, "Lock it for me!"
Yuna was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that she was the one who opened the door just now. Now she finally found the door lock. While Su Yue and Cang Zhi were working together to prevent the patrolmen from breaking out, Yuna quickly hung the lock on the door.
Click——
The rooftop was finally quiet.
Yuna's safety was guaranteed, but the sky seemed to have darkened, and the so-called "real night" was getting closer and closer. The lowest red clouds seemed to be pressing on the top of the machine on the rooftop, and it was within reach.
Zhao Shuo hurried over, a look of despair on his face. "Boss, this quest... I'm fed up. I can't trigger it at all! I talked to the only NPC who can accept it, and it'll take us nearly an hour to walk there. We're definitely too late."
It seems that all tasks have a limit on the number of times they can be refreshed. If they have been taken by others, Su Yue and the others will not be able to take them. This is the case with several NPCs that Zhao Shuo just talked to.
You can click to open a further conversation, but there will be no more conversation after that. It will either say "I have found someone to help" or "I am not in the mood to continue chatting now." In any case, the task cannot be triggered.
Su Yue didn't expect there would be this problem and was a little dumbfounded. If there was really no other way, he could only take this long and time-sensitive task. At any rate, it was better than having no task at all.
Just when he was struggling, Yuna, who was standing beside him in a daze, suddenly came over.
"Excuse me... do you have time now?" Yuna asked.
She stood in front of Su Yue, holding her little rabbit doll in both hands. The yandere temperament she had just had was gone, replaced by the shyness unique to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Yuna lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, looking awkward, with a blush on her cheeks.
"Thank you." Yuna said to Suyue, "and your boyfriend."
Suyue:.
Su Yue glanced at Cang Zhi quickly and argued feebly: "He is not..."
It's just a probation period, you can't treat him as your official boyfriend.
Yuna didn't even listen to him: "Can you please do me another favor?"
Suyue:!
He stopped defending himself instantly.
Su Yue: "No problem."
.
"I have a meeting tonight, and it's almost time. But what happened just now made me realize that maybe that meeting isn't for me," Yuna said. The setting sun cast a long, graceful shadow on her.
The new status is now being displayed on Su Yue's LCD screen.
-【You successfully prevented Yuna's death.】
-【Branch Quest Triggered】
Yuna: "I have a ticket here. Can you help me attend the rally?"
As if afraid of being rejected, she added eagerly, "Just meet with the manager! She'll give you a reward!"
Su Yue was in need of a mission right now, and a hidden mission came to him. Of course, there was no problem with that. Su Yue thought that he should be kind to others in the future. It was just a coincidence that he saved an NPC and triggered a new mission. Otherwise, Cang Zhi would not know what to do tonight.
Seeing that Su Yue agreed, Yuna showed a very happy expression. Then she bent her bunny doll hard, and with a "click", the bunny head fell off. Yuna reached into the doll's belly, gently took out a metal piece, and handed it to Su Yue.
Su Yue, Cang Zhi, and Zhao Shuo: "..."
no.
Isn't this your favorite doll?
.
"Please go to the bar gathering on the pedestrian street for me. Give this invitation to the owner of the 'Drunken Life and Dreaming Death' bar, and you'll be eligible to attend the gathering." Yuna said, "Of course, I won't let you go in vain. I'll ask the bar owner to prepare a gift for you. Is that okay?"
sure.
I couldn't ask for more.
The status is refreshed on the LCD screen.
- [Mission Accepted]
-[Mission Objective: Attend the rally on behalf of Yuna]
-[Time remaining: 00:48:42]
-【Number of participants: 1/3】
-[Quest Reward: Heart Key (Red)]
The number of participants was an item that excited Su Yue more than refreshing the mission. He immediately added Cang Zhi and Zhao Shuo to the mission, hurried downstairs, and headed towards the "Drunkenness and Dreams" bar that had been refreshed on the mission map and was located on the pedestrian street not far from the school.
