Chapter 223
Feng Ruowang looked at the black-haired hunter who sat down on a random log in front of him, feeling a little overwhelmed.
This hunter is already well-known in the country, and almost no one is unfamiliar with him. All the information about him after his appearance has been dug up by his fanatical fans. Even the fact that he was mistaken for an employee of a pyramid scheme or organization has left traces on the Internet and is dug up from time to time for archaeology. But Feng Ruowang had never thought that he would be able to have such close contact with the other person.
"Aren't we going out?"
Feng Ruowang hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to ask.
Although there are different analyzes and opinions about Su Xingyuan's personality, it shouldn't be a bad idea to ask a small question, right?
"Ah, did I forget to tell you?" The black-haired hunter raised his head from the barbecue and said in a light voice, "I originally wanted to take you out first, but after thinking about it carefully, a spring outing here might not be a bad idea."
Feng Ruowang: “…”
What a beautiful head!
Is this the reason why you chose to keep the last monster alive when you could have killed it with one punch?
He was silent for two seconds, then continued, "It sounds like something bad happened outside... What happened outside?"
"The gods have released five natural disasters. Now the outside world is experiencing the first disaster, but the situation has been contained." Su Xingyuan patiently answered his question: "There are only six hours left before the disaster ends. You can stay here for now."
His eyes lightly swept over the jungle monster that dared not move and had only one breath left. "When the time is right, I will kill it."
At that time, the portal will naturally open.
These people had no means of judging how much time had passed in the outside world, and only he could see the task countdown in the upper left corner. He had originally intended to take the people out directly, but after wiping out the monster village and discovering some collected wild monster meat...
Su Xingyuan: Let's grill it and try it.jpg
Feng Ruowang and several teammates looked at each other and saw some helplessness in each other's eyes, but according to the black-haired hunter's words, it would be a good thing not to leave the portal at this time. Such top hunters would never deceive them, and they also thought that there was nothing to be plotted against them, so they put aside their worries and started to dig out food to fill their stomachs.
They had been fleeing and fighting all the time and had no time to rest or eat, and were already starving at this time. The black-haired hunter did not pay any more attention to them because of their actions. He only focused on his own affairs, which made them more relaxed.
But...how could the real world suddenly encounter a disaster?
He also has relatives and friends in reality, so he can't help but worry. After all, although he believes in Su Xingyuan, he also knows one thing, that is, unfortunate things will always happen, and even a savior cannot save everyone. The Xingyuan Hunter obviously understood this very well.
Xu Banmeng also once said that Su Xingyuan was the person who could best bear everyone's expectations and not be crushed by the pressure of the so-called "savior", because he would never be too harsh on himself because of this, and he would never let himself fall into such a predicament.
Just as Feng Ruowang was distracted, he saw the black-haired hunter suddenly raised his head.
"Are you still worried?" Su Xingyuan finished the barbecue in a few seconds, clapped his hands, and seemed to look at the air in front of him: "Then let's go out, but before going out, you'd better put some powder on your bodies first."
Before Feng Ruowang could be stunned by the unexpected tolerance and sensitivity of the black-haired hunter, the powdery substance on the opposite side came towards them mercilessly like cold air, mixed with magic power that absolutely could not be ignored, and fell on them.
The portal opened in front of him at the same time.
【Countdown: 4h36min】
"By the way," the black-haired hunter walking in front turned his head, "Don't mention me when you are outside."
Although the gods' attention may be on Leafa now, there is no guarantee that they will pay attention to these guys coming out of the portal, which may cause some minor trouble.
"We know." Feng Ruowang and the others nodded repeatedly.
Su Xingyuan put on his invisibility cloak again, and when he felt a little better, he headed for the next portal marked on the map. This portal is of a lower level, and the hunters can't get out simply because they are lost in the maze. Su Xingyuan killed the monster before them without even showing his face. He just quietly threw some insect repellent powder on them when they passed by the flowers.
He continued to work in this way on and off, and when there were three hours left in the countdown, he finally saw the scene of the next disaster in "The Book of Wisdom of Carterfield".
It's raining.
Su Xingyuan initially thought it was a flood. Even though the population of this world was too large and the territory was vast, combined with the racial advantages of the mermaids, as long as their magic power was strong enough, they could get through this disaster relatively easily.
But two seconds later, when the picture became clearer, he keenly discovered that it did not seem to be ordinary rain.
There was a hint of blood-red in the turbid rain, and as time went by, this hint of blood-red became more and more obvious, and one could almost smell a familiar smell of blood.
In just a few seconds, the rain falling from the sky had completely turned into thick blood - if it was just blood rain, it would be fine, but these blood-like substances were like viruses that spread very quickly. Just by falling into the water, the water quality began to undergo strange changes, and humans who came into contact with this blood began the process of demonization visibly.
The next second, the picture disappeared, Su Xingyuan blinked and closed the book.
Su Xingyuan: "So it turns out that we can still start the doomsday zombie scenario?"
"Dungeon Adventure" instantly turns into "Survivor".
Judging from the scenes in the prophecy, not only is the blood contagious, the demonic energy carried by these monsters also has the same effect, which is far higher than that leaked from the portal. Although Su Xingyuan can already perfectly intimidate monsters, the problem is that humans who have turned into demons will most likely be judged as dead in this mission.
Su Xingyuan opened the portal and returned to his [home], used [Thousand Mile Voice Transmission] to call Leafa back, completed the apparent identity change, and walked out as Su Xingyuan.
His condition has almost recovered, but those gods should know at a glance that something is wrong. I hope they can regain their confidence and come down to settle the matter as soon as possible, thus saving him the trouble of having to come to his door later.
With two and a half hours left before the disaster, countries have issued emergency notices prohibiting people from going out, drinking and coming into contact with tap water and rainwater after the locust plague ends. In the last two and a half hours, people should prepare bottled water, mineral water and river water, prepare food, and close doors and windows.
"Monsters transformed by hunters are more dangerous, so this time do not send hunters to maintain order or deal with humans who accidentally become demons."
Some hunters do not have the ability to stably maintain magic power for a long time to form a barrier around their bodies. Once a mistake occurs, Su Xingyuan will have to do more work.
He said to Ji Tianshi and Ning Baiquan, "I can locate and resolve them as quickly as possible, so I will take over this part of the task. However, it is not clear how many days this rain will last, so you'd better send people to distribute the stored supplies now."
After explaining the precautions for the next disaster, Su Xingyuan returned to his [home] and found the old wizard in the human town who had once made him an enchanted black robe, and asked for a batch of newly made cloth that could block rain.
In addition, similar products are also sold in the game system's mall, but Su Xingyuan has not taken any action for the time being. He plans to wait and see the situation of the blood rain before making any plans.
The last three hours were spent smoothly constructing various safe houses around the world using materials piled in warehouses.
When the countdown officially reached "0", he opened the game panel.
[Congratulations on successfully surviving the locust plague! 】
[-The dense swarms of locusts finally disappeared in the sky. You tentatively tried to walk out the door, but found that some wet liquid was dripping from the air.
[You raised your head and tried to trace the source of the liquid, but saw that the place where the locusts disappeared was dark, but that was no longer the influence of the swarm, but a real blood-red dark cloud. You find that raindrops have also dripped into your eyes. You reached out your hand and rubbed it...there seemed to be a hint of pink on your fingers. 】
[Has entered the second disaster - blood rain]
Current death toll: 4876
Su Xingyuan glanced at the description and then skipped the following content.
If he hadn't reminded her, this prelude would have actually happened in reality, and then a more troublesome disaster would have occurred. And if we can just control the infection, this disaster will be halfway accomplished, and then there will only be one problem left.
[Countdown: Seven Days]
Su Xingyuan's gaze fell on this "seven days".
Does this countdown refer to the countdown for "stopping the rain" or the countdown for the end of all the negative effects caused by this disaster?
Based on the gods' certainty that these disasters would cause severe damage to the human world... he was more inclined to the latter.
Su Xingyuan closed the window and just in time it took to browse the details, the death toll suddenly exceeded 5,000.
Player:.
As expected, if one is not careful, the target of the mission will die very quickly.
After Su Xingyuan covered his body with magic power, the map area in the upper left corner of his field of vision expanded.
On the map, red dots representing hostile units popped up like mushrooms after a rain. Obviously, with such a large population base, no matter how many times they are reminded, they will become the first group of people infected due to various reasons.
He picked up the knife and started killing without any emotion.
November 20th at 6pm.
Su Xingyuan squatted at the top of the E country tower. The blood-red rain formed a pink barrier around him because of the isolation of magic. The long sword in the black-haired hunter's hand was washed shiny by the rain, and the number of deaths he was paying attention to finally became stable.
"Almost 20,000 people were lost at the beginning of this event..."
Moreover, it was the result that he forcibly pulled many high-risk individuals who were susceptible to infection into the "safe house".
Su Xingyuan looked at his safe houses and the people in them from a distance through the small map.
Although they managed to save their lives, it seemed that they were very angry but dared not speak out.
The savior was quite dissatisfied with this. Time was tight, and he had worked very hard to make a room that could accommodate people, but there was no door, no window, no bed, no faucet, and no bathing facilities. There were only 20 people living in one room. Didn't he also install a toilet in each room? The toilets sold in the game mall were simple and quick to install and ready to use, and they could clean themselves without flushing - although Su Xingyuan didn't understand why the game mall would sell such things, it sounded quite advanced.
If Xu Banmeng, Ning Baiquan and the lawyer had not declined the gift, he would have wanted to get a complete set of mall furniture for someone he knew.
As for food and drinkable water, he will deliver them personally, so there is absolutely no need to worry about safety.
It’s only seven days. Just bear with it and it will pass.
Death toll: 27,437
Su Xingyuan took a look and sprinkled the insect repellent powder near the residential area.
Insect repellent powder can only play the most basic repellent effect on ordinary insects, and the damage to the ecology is not serious. Su Xingyuan utilized the surplus tool waste left over from the previous disaster to reduce the possibility of insects carrying rainwater entering homes and infecting humans.
There is no doubt that the house he built himself is made of iron barrels, and no one can see the other side from inside or outside, but ordinary buildings are definitely unable to stop all kinds of insects. If the blood and water were not close to the locust plague, and there were remnants of insect repellent powder almost all over the world, I am afraid that the current death toll would have been out of control long ago.
In the face of global natural disasters, 100,000 people is really just a small number.
There are three more disasters to come. If all else fails, he can consider some more extreme approaches.
The black-haired hunter lowered his eyes slightly, stood up after dealing with this area, and looked in a certain direction where other movements came from.
In his vision that had been enhanced countless times, the demonized red-named monster walked out of the door, followed its instinct and moved to the door of the neighbor's house, and fixed its eyes on the cat's eyes on the door.
“……!”
The owner of the house, who also heard the noise and was secretly observing the outside world through the cat's eyes, was so frightened that he staggered, his heart started pounding, and his mind went blank for an instant.
The girl next to her was also frightened when she saw her mother like this. Although she remembered her parents' instructions and dared not cry out loud, she still couldn't help but let out a slightly sharp sound between her breaths.
After hearing a small groan from the door, it instantly became excited, and the decay of its sticky blood-red skin began to accelerate. Its entire body was almost stuck to the door, almost liquid, looking for a hole to enter. Before it was about to squeeze in through the crack of the door, an untouchable hand patted the place where its shoulder used to be.
The monster, suddenly sensing the presence of a human, turned its head excitedly.
The black-haired hunter, who was not wearing any rain gear but looked clean all over, gave it a friendly smile.
"Don't disturb my mission target."
Before he finished speaking, flames rose.
It didn't even take a second to deal with a monster of this level. The black-haired hunter naturally ignored the small handful of dust on the ground and said to the people inside the door in a sufficiently steady voice: "Please stay away from doors and windows as much as possible. If you feel worried, you are welcome to come to the safe house I built. Food and accommodation are free and it is super safe."
After calming down, the mother and daughter inside the door seemed to hesitate and be moved for a moment. Just as they were about to agree on impulse, the mother suddenly had a premonition that made her subconsciously decline.
Su Xingyuan left with regret.
The mother who later discovered how effective and efficient the safe house built by the black-haired hunter was: ...it turns out that free is the most expensive.
Su Xingyuan didn't know what the other resident who was offered a safe house was thinking. He was dealing with another area on the verge of collapse. As long as it was exposed to rain, it would be very likely to be demonized. In this situation, the conditions for staying out of trouble were extremely harsh. Su Xingyuan had a lot to do and had to pay attention to the situation on the small map at all times. He didn't have the leisure time to recuperate like he did during the first disaster. When he came to his senses, it was already noon on the third day.
——This is why infrastructure mini-games are a great way to kill time.
Su Xingyuan sighed as he looked at the new batch of safe houses he had built.
Fang Mujian, who came to visit and learn from him, said: "..."
His voice was trembling: "... Is this your 'safe house'?"
It is safe, but the people inside will definitely be traumatized when they come out! Will you, a free-spirited guy, really be forgiven?
Fang Mujian had already noticed from Ning Baiquan's subtle silence that Su Xingyuan's safe house might have exploded, but he felt at the time that nothing mattered compared to life. Now it seems... he was still superficial.
The girls' room was okay, but the men's room was so crowded! How did Su Xingyuan put them in there?
Even in pixel games, raising pixel people is not like this!
Especially when he passed by a room and heard a faint voice saying "Brother, you smell so good" coming from inside, Fang Mujian's face turned green.
"You insisted on coming, but you're not happy now that you're here."
The considerate black-haired hunter sighed.
Fang Mujian: “…” As a man who has to stay here if he comes, it’s hard for him to be happy!
"The rooms in the front seem a little more normal?"
After calming himself down, Fang Mujian regained his curiosity and looked into the room further inside.
The number of people inside was a bit more normal. At least each person could maintain their own 1x1 small grid, ensuring the principle of non-aggression among people in the same room. But when Fang Mujian saw the only toilet in the room, he couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.
"Because this place was built later when we had some free time, time was not so tight, so of course we would not let so many people in all at once." The black-haired hunter said cheerfully, "You know, materials and funds are limited. As a qualified manager, you need to maximize the efficiency of the materials at hand... I mean, after this disaster is over, you can knock down the safe house and sell the parts for money."
Fang Mujian said numbly: "I think... you might make some money if you keep them."
When the time comes, we can just put up signs and put up labels, so that people can come and see the lucky but unfortunate seven days of those unlucky people who had to go to the Suxingyuan safe house...
When Fang Mujian returned to the Hunter Association in a trance holding a bag of insect repellent powder, he felt that his understanding of the black-haired hunter had risen to a higher level.
Ning Baiquan patted his shoulder silently.
"After all, this is a special period..." Ning Baiquan analyzed calmly, "Besides, with the support of Su Xingyuan's face shaping, I think their mental state should be the strongest in recent generations."
So there shouldn't be any problem...right?
He can't stand it any more because these seven days have to pass quickly.
Ning Baiquan pinched his brows and said, "Xingyuan's room is indeed sufficiently strict to protect a large number of vulnerable people. Their food and water are all provided by Xingyuan hunters. The pressure on the whole world has been greatly reduced. What he did can be regarded as wartime needs. Don't worry too much."
Although some people might try to criticize Su Xingyuan for this, he probably wouldn't care at all. That's why he was free to do whatever he wanted. It makes sense. How could ants on the ground threaten the eagle in the sky? It's hard for the other party to even notice them.
At this time, there was silence in the conference room of Country A.
"We should have completely offended Su Xingyuan, why is he still..."
An official broke the silence somewhat nervously.
They were the ones who disliked Su Xingyuan the most, but they also believed in him the most. When they found out that Su Xingyuan told them that there would be a natural disaster, they were ready to fend for themselves. After all, in their minds, Su Xingyuan would never care what happened to Country A. If Country A was destroyed, he would still happily set off two fireworks to celebrate.
But in fact, Su Xingyuan did help, and he helped everyone equally.
The top leaders of Country A became even more panicked.
From the locust plague to the bloody flood, Su Xingyuan did not discriminate, as if the bad things that Country A had done did not exist. But past facts also show that Su Xingyuan is definitely not a person who does not bear grudges. If he is willing to put aside hatred and resist disasters for the sake of the world, it is normal for people on the Internet to believe it, but they...
Just listen.
Su Xingyuan has nothing to do with those adjectives that often appear in orthodox saviors!
It was as bizarre as it could be. Many officials even overcame their fears while the blood was still pouring down outside and began to secretly calculate their own coffers, trying to escape from possible future Suxingyuan money-swindling incidents - after all, this was a sign that interest would be charged in the future.
Just look at the most recent example, Su Xingyuan's "Six Million Magic Crystals Portal" shocked quite a few people.
The high-ranking officials of Country A, who had no idea that all of them were the targets of Su Xingyuan's mission, were trembling with fear. Su Xingyuan did not point it out. He occasionally turned around to admire their expressions, and then went somewhere else with a refreshed look.
Finally, the seven days that were extremely difficult for everyone except Su Xingyuan were about to pass.
The black-haired hunter opened the Book of Wisdom of Carterfield again.
The time is almost up, and it's time to see what will come next.
