Urban Giant Wolf Legend (10)
The battle ended even faster than Liang Qing had imagined. Shi Xiaofeng witnessed the two giant wolves being slaughtered up close, and the shock he felt was no less than when he had seen Liang Qing riding the leader wolf and shooting.
Neither of them knew how the masked man had managed it. His invisibility device was eventually stained with wolf blood, leaving him only partially visible during the fight. The first wolf's neck was broken by something resembling a rope, while the second's vitals were blasted open, sending it crashing to the ground.
Because the second wolf fell and pressed down on the switch on the center console, the door to the underground laboratory flew open completely, and dozens of players who had been waiting outside rushed in.
"Oh no." Shi Xiaofeng came out of the glass cabinet and returned the training bag to Liang Qing. He took a look at the surveillance video - he saw the leader wolf and the remaining three wolves following closely in the woods behind the player.
"I saw someone coming in! They should have gotten the props to pass the level!" The person who took the lead and came back shouted.
"Let's go." Liang Qing and Shi Xiaofeng looked at each other, crouched down and moved out along the corner of the wall.
The elevator creaked, and someone arrived at the storage room deep inside the laboratory. Liang Qing peeked out from the corner of the table. The group at the head consisted of about eight or nine people, all wearing black cloaks.
So childish. She curled her lips.
The leader should be careful and let one person guard the elevator while the others spread out to search.
Liang Qing guessed that the masked man had quietly left here. If not, he was probably hiding somewhere and watching Liang Qing and Shi Xiaofeng make fun of themselves.
She looked around for an opportunity to leave, and her eyes fell on a food conveyor that was only one person wide and was located against the wall.
The group in black cloaks were trying to open the iris lock when a muffled sound suddenly came from behind them. Before they could turn around, billowing yellow smoke billowed out from nowhere, choking and making people cough. Amid the chaos, Shi Xiaofeng was the first to arrive at the first floor of the laboratory on a food conveyor.
Liang Qing threw out the second smoke bomb and quickly stuffed the training bag into the small elevator. Shi Xiaofeng on top was responsible for receiving it.
It was no big deal. The elevator came down again, and she leaned forward to get in when suddenly a hand grabbed her.
"Ahem...you...don't run..."
A deliberately lowered voice spoke from behind. Liang Qing caught the panic beneath the forced calmness in her voice.
It's a young woman.
"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I stopped if you grabbed me?" Liang Qing lightly turned his hand and grabbed her wrist, causing her to gasp in pain.
Through the thin smoke, Liang Qing saw her black cloak. Oh, the person who was left to watch the elevator.
"I... aren't you afraid that I'll call for help? I-I saw you two running away with a whole bag of stuff."
Liang Qing had a strange feeling. She lowered her head and touched her pocket: the reagent that was just in it was gone.
"Your skills are so wasted." She raised her hand and struck down without mercy. The girl screamed briefly and fainted.
Not far away, someone recognized the girl's voice and groped their way over through the yellow fog. "Nie Yun? Is that you? Where are you?"
There was no time to search her body, so Liang Qing pulled off her cloak, put it on himself, then carried the girl and stuffed her into the elevator.
When the man arrived, he saw that the food conveyor had already risen high up, and a black figure passed by him.
On the first floor of the laboratory, Shi Xiaofeng was bewildered after waiting for Liang Qing but not for her. A pack of wolves was approaching, and he was caught in a dilemma, holding his cub.
"Let's go!" Liang Qing suddenly rushed out of the elevator, picked up Nie Yun, and ran towards the laboratory door. Shi Xiaofeng didn't ask any questions and followed him directly.
They hid whenever they could along the way and didn't deal with other players. Shi Xiaofeng was entangled by someone and was able to escape only after throwing a small bomb.
After running out of the laboratory, the two of them tacitly ran directly towards the kitchen. The wolves behind them had already gone deep into the laboratory, and soon shrill screams were heard from inside.
"Bang!" Nie Yun was unceremoniously thrown onto the center island, barely turning over. When she opened her eyes, she saw herself an inch away from falling to the ground, and she screamed out in shock.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Liang Qing sharpening a knife. Her face turned pale for a moment: "Benefactor! Don't you remember me? You gave me the car keys before? I bought you milk powder! I was wearing a red dress at that time!"
Liang Qing didn't even look at her. He blew on the blade of his knife and thought it was ready to use. He raised the knife and cut the rope that bound the flour. Soon, bags of flour scattered on the ground and formed a small hill.
"Hey, hand over the things honestly, otherwise I will throw you to the wolves later!" Shi Xiaofeng said "viciously".
Knowing that he was exposed, Nie Yun pursed his lips and took out the potion. Shi Xiaofeng stepped forward and snatched it away.
Nie Yun smiled awkwardly: "I just touched it casually... casually, casually..."
Liang Qing split the last bag of flour and then looked at her: "Besides stealing things and pretending to cry, what else can you do?"
It turns out she remembers herself.
Nie Yun blushed and held back his anger: "Actually, my acting skills are pretty good."
"Why didn't you scream?"
"Because I recognized you... I figured I owed you a favor... You warned me not to go through the main door, so I went through the side door, and there was a crowd gathered at the main door. If it weren't for you, I might have ended up in a much worse situation... It's always bad to kick someone when they're down. And... if you hadn't dragged me out just now, I'd be dead again. If not you, who would be my benefactor?"
She spoke with deep emotion.
"Well, she is your benefactor. Your way of repaying her is to steal things." Shi Xiaofeng said coldly.
Nie Yun laughed awkwardly: "It's all fate, fate."
Liang Qing ignored the bickering. In the direction of the laboratory, the leader wolf had already emerged, trailed by two others. They had lost another member. The leader wolf's mouth was covered in blood; it was clear it had just slaughtered a number of people inside, and the fierceness of battle was still in its eyes.
It's almost over.
"Put it on." Liang Qing said lightly.
Shi Xiaofeng and Liang Qing put on masks at the same time and hid their training bags somewhere far upwind.
Just as they were about to start the blower, they simultaneously turned their heads to look at Nie Yun. She sat on the island, bewildered, staring at the two of them.
"Don't bother with her, she's gone crazy anyway." Shi Xiaofeng said coldly.
Nie Yun: ...
"How many points do you have?"
"Ah? Me..." Nie Yun was stunned. "56..."
Another poor bastard, Liang Qing thought. She gave him a look.
Shi Xiaofeng, the victim next to Liang Qing: ...
After the 700 points disappeared, a package appeared in front of Nie Yun. She opened it with gratitude and put on her gas mask. "I will definitely pay you back when I earn more points!"
"Don't take stolen ones." Shi Xiaofeng said coldly again.
The three men sprinkled the hallucinogen evenly on the flour, turned on the blower at full power, and soon white dust rushed out of the window.
The giant wolves were attracted by the sound and pounced in this direction. What greeted them was a sky full of powder and a slightly sweet and fishy smell.
Countdown, ten, nine, eight, seven... The code linked the hidden players in the campus to start working, and a low-frequency noise that is hardly noticeable to human ears spread from the center of the earth into the air.
The three men stared at the giant wolf. Just to be safe, Liang Qing aimed his gun at them. The two wolves behind the leader were the first to stop running. They crouched on the ground in an awkward and bizarre position, their buttocks raised high, their thick black tails swishing, their blood-stained fur unfurling.
After a while, the leader wolf also stopped, shook its head, and scratched its face with its claws, as if trying to wake up from the dream.
Immediately afterwards, all three wolves howled, some louder and some softer, but the sounds were completely different from those during the battle.
The medicine worked.
Liang Qing waved his hand and asked Shi Xiaofeng to pour all the rest in. The blower was still humming.
All three wolves lost their fighting spirit. The leader initially tried to resist, but soon narrowed his eyes in the intoxicating sweetness of the white powder. At this moment, they were more like giant dogs than wolves.
It seems that the second code gave them the illusion that their mother wolf was still there. Perhaps at that time, they were not the deformed monsters deliberately created by humans, perhaps at that time they were still enjoying the happiness of family in the mother wolf's arms.
Liang Qing was somewhat moved.
At that moment, a man in a black cloak limped out from the direction of the laboratory. The fresh scars on his face were particularly glaring in the dawn light. Seeing the giant wolf's unusual behavior, he was stunned at first, then raised his gun and began to fire.
The three wolves, who were immersed in hallucinations and were about to fall asleep peacefully, became furious again after being disturbed by this. One of them even gouged half of its face. The lame man took the opportunity to shoot its face. The bullet passed through its flesh and the giant wolf jumped up angrily.
The leader wolf was also awakened by the shouts of his companions. It opened its dark eyes and regained its murderous look.
Other wolves were easy to deal with, but this was the only chance to take it down. Liang Qing was about to take action when Nie Yun beside him got there first. She pulled out a slingshot hidden in her sleeve and fired at the lame man.
An explosive particle of gunpowder flew out and blew off one of the lame man's eyes. He rolled on the ground in pain, covering his bloody eye.
This accuracy... Liang Qing couldn't help but praise it after seeing it.
Seeing Liang Qing and Shi Xiaofeng looking at him in shock, Nie Yun explained himself in an equally shocked manner, "I wanted to break his other leg, but I missed it..."
Although she was shocked, a hint of joy of revenge flashed across her face when she saw the lame man rolling around in pain.
The interference from the giant wolf was gone, and Shi Xiaofeng poured out the last of the preparation. The three of them waited quietly for ten minutes. After the medicine took full effect, the three scarred giant wolves lay on the open space in front of the kitchen and fell asleep.
It's dawn.
A ray of morning sun light fell on the giant wolves, and their bodies became light, gradually transparent, and then disappeared.
In the air, rows of golden characters rippled.
The powerful neuroleptic drug has taken effect! The giant wolves, having lost their aggressiveness, have been recalled by the system, and a gentle transformation awaits them. Faced with the choice of destruction or subjugation, the player who cleared the game chose subjugation. There's no right or wrong answer to this question; the karma created by humanity through unnatural means will ultimately require humanity's own tragic sacrifice...
After the golden words were finished, the system's sweet and cold voice sounded again:
Congratulations to the 15 players who survived the "Urban Giant Wolf Legend" dungeon! Since the dungeon has concluded early, you will have 12 hours of free time in the city. Tonight at 6:00 PM, the system will reboot and transport you to the new dungeon, where you can begin your journey anew!
Please note that the new copy allocation logic is randomly disrupted. If players have formed a team and intend to go to the same copy together, please report and confirm in the system in time!
After the system's voice faded, a giant display screen, resembling a towering tower, suddenly appeared in the center of the city. The screen, shaped like a mushroom, displayed the points rankings of all players in all instances in a densely packed font. The countless player numbers on the long "mushroom stem" had turned gray.
That's the list of the dead.
"Boss, look, look!" Shi Xiaofeng was sharp-eyed and nudged Liang Qing with his elbow. They saw a golden name that seemed to have taken a roller coaster, jumping from the bottom to the top thirty. The countless names that were squeezed out by her went to the lower levels.
Compared with this name's rocket-like rise, the achievements of others seem less impressive.
"A80F23LQ...LQ, Liang Qing...Boss, is this you?"
Liang Qing agreed without saying anything. She stared at the name in front of her.
Player ranked first: B56M28GY.
