One hour later.
The fire that spread in the tower clock area was extinguished, leaving traces of scorch everywhere. The power plant under construction was destroyed and the collapsed tower clock became a ruin. The place became a mess, which increased the cleaning task.
A cordon was set up nearby, and Huang Yu was directing the scene. He was very anxious. Fortunately, some players tried their best to clean up the ruins, and the situation was relatively stable.
Thousands of players gathered in the distance to watch, looking at the dilapidated scene in amazement. The group of black shadows stepped on the brick ground to leave a series of cracked footprints. The soles of the feet were three-clawed and slender in shape. What kind of creature is it.
At this time, the group of black shadows had retreated to the river channel and disappeared. It was obviously their lair, and no one was going to provoke the unknown group of monsters for the time being.
"What kind of beast can cause such a noise?"
"The monsters I encountered during my exploration in the past few days were only at level ten or twenty. I thought there were no powerful monsters. It turned out to be hidden here."
"I heard from people who experienced it at the scene that the results they detected were all question marks, and the danger was extremely fatal."
"Oh, then. At least level 40."
"Wait and see, we will probably have to do a task later."
Huang Yu arranged the work, opened the communication, and reported: "Your Excellency, the situation has been temporarily stable."
"How about the losses?" Han Xiao said calmly.
"It's not good. The power plant we are building was destroyed. The building materials and engineering equipment inside were all ruined."
Han Xiao gritted his teeth, he had some thoughts about this. Unexpectedly, since the shelter is the main line, there are likely to be twists and turns. Surprises come as expected. Unexpectedly, there are powerful monsters hidden in the gray iron ruins. The losses of building materials and engineering equipment are still secondary. If there is no way to deal with the beasts, It will greatly delay the construction period.
"What kind of beast is it?"
"Still investigating, but they are hiding in the river drainage channel. We have no idea where they are. It is very dangerous."
"Wait for me to pass."
Ten minutes later, Han Xiao arrived at the scene, and everyone gathered around to report. He listened for a while, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then came to the footprints Look carefully.
“Being able to crack the stone brick floor means that the beast’s leg strength is very developed and it is very heavy. It likes to live in moist and dark places, lives in groups, has unknown food, and is highly aggressive...” Han Xiao turned on his tablet and searched Aquamarine's illustrated beast manual and found many matching examples.
After thinking about it, Han Xiao lifted up his windbreaker, and seven or eight spider detectors landed on the ground along his legs. They crawled into the river channel in groups to detect the internal situation. On the tablet, The detector’s night vision and infrared vision images are connected.
While waiting, Han Xiao asked casually: "Are there powerful beasts in other places?"
Huang Yu immediately replied: "No, only here, cleaning work in other areas Everything went smoothly."
The sudden change here did not delay.Other construction, huge city walls are under construction, residential buildings, warehouses, energy plants, internal life support facilities, greenhouse farmland, etc. are progressing simultaneously. Only when Han Xiao gets the help of tens of thousands of players can he have enough manpower to fully bloom, like the Second Refuge At this time, he was still exploring the city painfully, and his progress was several times slower than him.
The spider detector sent back a picture. The wall deep in the river channel was covered with mucus secreted by some kind of creature. It was very sticky and disgusting, and it was still dripping slowly.
A small spider was wrapped in dripping mucus. Its slender mechanical limbs twitched a few times and immediately shut down, as if it were wrapped in amber.
Further inside, Han Xiao saw a shocking scene. The end of the river channel was dug out by wild beasts with countless forked roads. He directed the little spider to split up. As the scenes continued to be transmitted back, everyone present became more and more excited. surprise.
Under the gray iron ruins, there is actually a terrifying underground lair hidden! Covering most of Xicheng District!
This group of beasts has been entrenched in this abandoned city for many years!
"Be a good boy..." Han Xiao was slightly startled.
The hidden beast showed its outline in the infrared vision. Han Xiao hurriedly opened the beast illustration and finally locked the target this time.
"The scientific name is Niagara Shadow Viper, referred to as Shadow Predator Viper. It is an oviparous animal with six legs and three claws on its feet. Its whole body is covered with chitin carapace and is divided into head, trunk, limbs, It has a long tail and can reach four meters in length in adults. Claws, tail flicks and biting are common attack methods. It can secrete a corrosive mucus from its mouth and excretion site, which is used to dig nests. It likes heat, darkness and humidity. It usually lives in Near the bottom of the volcano..."
Except there is no facehugger, this thing looks like an alien!
Han Xiao compared the Viper·Change Chip database and found that the Shadow Predator Viper’s life strength signal was around level 40. To players at this time, each one was a mini-BOSS. Advanced monster.
It is roughly estimated that there are more than a thousand shadow predator vipers in the nest, which is a huge hidden danger in the refuge. If it is not eliminated, accidents like today will continue to occur, slowing down the construction schedule of Xicheng District.
Han Xiao suddenly discovered something unusual.
"Shadow Prey Vipers like hot environments. It's strange. This is a plain, and the underground should be cool and moist. How could it attract Shadow Prey Vipers? Could it be that... there are abandoned reactors or high-energy waste underground?"
p>He thought to himself secretly, thinking that it would be best for the players to detect the radiation concentration inside.
If you guessed it correctly, a group of shadow hunting vipers will have a wild BOSS-level beast king. Only you can deal with this thing.
The lair with complex terrain is the home ground of the Shadow Predator Viper. Han Xiao does not want to deal with a group of people by himself. Even if there is a mechanical guard group, the damage will be heavy.
Using the human sea tactic, players should be able to kill ordinary Shadow Prey Vipers. Since there are players around, they have to make the best use of them.
“Speaking of which, the body and eggs of the Shadow Prey Viper are a kind of medicine.Material..." Han Xiao's eyes flashed and he made a calculation.
At this time, Huang Yu was actively giving opinions and talking: "I think we can use large-yield explosives to destroy the underground cavity. It will cause a landslide and flatten the Shadow Prey Viper's nest, which will cause the ground to collapse in Xicheng District. However, this is an abandoned city, and it won't be a big problem if it collapses. It can be used for reconstruction..."
"Good idea. "Han Xiao's eyes lit up. He always likes to maximize profits within the scope of his ability. He just blew up this nest of Shadow Prey Vipers, but Huang Yu reminded him that the Shadow Prey Vipers will attack violently when disturbed. It's just right. He can lure snakes out of their holes, lay traps in advance, and give them a head-on attack.
He is a man of action. He directly mobilizes all the 2.5-generation rangers patrolling everywhere in the river channel, and lets the people on the dark web use the small forts. Moved over, formed a battle line, and aimed at the river channel.
"Go in and put a flash bomb. "Han Xiao gave a task to Crazy Sword, and Crazy Sword rushed in without saying a word, climbing up the mountain of swords and under the sea of fire without blinking an eyelid.
Time passed by minute by second, and the whole audience held their breath and concentrated. , very quiet, occasionally there were players watching from a distance whispering to each other, staring closely at the field.
The fierce roar of the beast broke the long wait, and with a short scream, the ground shook slightly. , the sound came from the passage, getting closer and closer, something was about to come out
Rumble--
A large group of shadow predator vipers rushed out, their bodies dark. The carapace and bone spurs were ferocious, and the three pairs of small scarlet eyes hidden in the bone armor were full of anger and rage. At least hundreds of shadow hunting vipers appeared. They spotted the crowd gathering in the distance at a glance and charged with a roar. Come here.
Thud, tug, tug—
The next second, a torrent of gunfire hit their heads and faces, overturning and repelling the group of shadow predator vipers. Dozens of large-caliber machine guns fired at them. The steel-core bullet shattered the chitinous carapace. The carapace cracked and viscous body fluids splashed everywhere. The roar turned into a wail. Time and time again, I struggled to stand up, only to be knocked down by the rain of bullets. I was pushed to the ground by the continuous kinetic energy and beaten to death. Sieve.
The flickering gun flames illuminated Han Xiao's profile again and again. He slowly lit a cigarette and watched hundreds of shadow predator vipers being beaten into sieves.
p>Not long after, the machine gun made a clicking sound, emptying the magazine, and the ground was filled with bullet casings.
The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the whole place fell silent. The Shadow Prey Viper was brutal. The corpses were scattered all over the ground, broken into pieces.
Many onlookers turned pale and were disgusted by this truly disgusting scene.
"Bring the corpses back and put them away. Into the cold storage. ”
Everyone quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and Han Xiao replaced Haotian to release the flash bomb. This time, the Shadow Prey Viper no longer fell into the trap. After killing Haotian, he still huddled in his nest, saying nothing. Don't show up.
In this way, the mechanical guard group will be temporarily useless. The open terrain is the best place to use fire coverage. Entering the narrow lair will only be attacked by shadow predators one after another.It's enough to dismantle them into scrap metal and trick the enemy once.
Players have been watching for so long, it’s time to find something for them to do.
"I need some manpower to clean this lair. It is best to solve it within three days." Han Xiao said loudly, quickly setting up the task and sending it out.
“Prize pool task: Clean the lair!”
After many days, Han Xiao released another prize pool task. He found that the prize pool task was extremely easy to ignite players’ enthusiasm. Sure enough, the players watching the show were immediately excited and swarmed over, scrambling to take over the mission.
The prize pool quickly accumulated to millions of experience points and is still increasing. The task requirement is to kill the Shadow Predator Viper and bring back the eggs. Through these two behaviors, you can gain contribution points. Ranking, the top ten will get prizes (counting the team ranking).
A large number of players are eager to rush into the nest to hunt the Shadow Predator Viper. If they are not strong enough, they will try to kill them as long as they are alive.
Han Xiao turned around and said to the four Crazy Blades: "Take this instrument to detect the radiation concentration in the nest, and observe if there are any special shadow hunting vipers. That is the Beast King. If you find it, notify us immediately. If you find anything else, remember to tell me."
The four of them nodded and entered the lair together.
Looking at the enthusiastic players, Han Xiao thought secretly.
“The Shadow Prey Viper is too powerful for current players. In order to compete in the prize pool missions, players will have an even more urgent need for weapons. After seeing my mechanical guard group, someone must be interested. ..."
It just so happens that he has enough parts to sell weapons and make another profit.
This once again implements the advanced business philosophy. It doesn’t matter if customers don’t have demand, then artificially create demand!
