Chapter 25 Crazy Teammates
Script missions are different from other missions. According to the system's instructions, during the execution of the script missions, the system will drop the player into an independent time and space. Players need to play a certain role until the mission released by the system is completed.
When Bai Zhi opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dimly lit lobby that seemed to resemble the interior of a dilapidated villa.
It was pouring rain outside the villa, and the window on the first floor was broken in a corner. The strong wind mixed with the rain poured into the house from the window, and the candlelight on the coffee table was shaky with the wind blowing.
After the body was able to move, the first thing Bai Zhi did was look around without making a big movement.
Under the light of the crumbling candle light on the table and the occasional lightning that lit up the sky, the general situation of the first floor of this villa could still be seen clearly.
This place had obviously been abandoned for a long time. There were some broken items everywhere on the ground. In the center of this lobby, several old sofas were piled up and merged together to block the wind. Next to the sofas, there were four randomly scattered mountaineering backpacks, and the coffee table in front of him was full of snacks.
In addition to him, there were three other people in this lobby, two young girls who were cuddling each other and dressed fashionably, and a young man who was sitting on the sofa alone like him.
(Is it the college students who met to climb the mountain together but were trapped here by the rainstorm? Survive until dawn in this abandoned villa in the mountains... If so, what is the source of the danger...)
Squinting slightly, he glanced at the photo on the screen saver of his mobile phone that obviously did not belong to him. Combined with the current environment and the information he had seen, Bai Zhi thought quickly in his heart.
What he didn't expect was that when he was still thinking, the man sitting on the sofa beside him took the initiative to stand up and clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention to him.
"Everyone, it is also a fate that we can be matched in the novice mission. Why don't we openly and honestly work together to complete this novice mission?"
As he spoke, he took the initiative to reveal his player ID.
[Beard Guy: LV 1]
——It makes you wonder what kind of mentality he was having to give himself this ID.
"I agree. It's obviously a teamwork mission, and we have to work together if we want to survive."
Pushing the glasses on the bridge of her nose, a girl who looked slightly gentle nodded and showed her personal information.
[Gentle Smile and Soft Heart: LV 1]
With the first two people taking the lead to demonstrate, Bai Zhi and the remaining girl also showed their IDs.
[Black and White: LV 1]
[Night Owl: LV 1]
Different from Gentle Smile and Soft Heart who wore glasses and had a scholarly temperament, Night Owl looked obviously more lively, giving people a mischievous impression.
However, since what they had was not their original appearance, it was difficult to tell what their true appearance looked like.
"Since everyone is willing to cooperate, let me first analyze the current situation for everyone."
Obviously wanting to get a higher evaluation, Bearded Guy unceremoniously took the leader position.
"The identities of the four of us should be climbers who came to climb the mountain during the holiday, but due to a sudden rainstorm in the mountains, we had to temporarily take shelter from the rain in this dilapidated mountain villa for a night. Those mountaineering bags are the obvious evidence.”
As he spoke, he pointed at the four mountaineering bags that were randomly placed beside the sofa.
"The requirement of the novice mission is to survive until dawn, and now there are still six hours before dawn and the rain stops. There is no doubt that there must be some hidden dangers in this dilapidated mountain villa, and these dangers are likely to lead to death within the next six hours… so as it stands, I have two personal recommendations."
Bearded Guy stretched out two fingers in front of him with a serious face.
"The first suggestion, of course, is to continue to stay in this dilapidated villa and find a way to spend the next six hours. Note that during these six hours, anything can happen. After all, we don’t know what kind of danger is hidden in this villa. The second suggestion is..."
"Leave this dilapidated villa far away on such a rainy night?"
Turning his head to look at the pitch-dark scenery outside the window, Bai Zhi answered smoothly.
"If the source of danger mainly comes from this villa, then leaving the villa can avoid the danger to the greatest extent. But in this dark rainstorm night, the dangers encountered on the road may be even bigger. After all, we are all just ordinary people now, and it is quite unwise to leave the shelter and go down the mountain in this kind of weather."
"—Of course, this is just a suggestion."
The expression on his face was inexplicably stiff, Bearded Guy clapped his hands and laughed.
"My next suggestion is that everyone try to find some extra clues on their mountaineering bag or mobile phone as much as possible. Since it has been decided to be stationed in this villa, then we may have to split the manpower to explore the villa. It's just that we need to be careful in this dark environment..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Zhi silently took out four military high-power flashlights from his backpack and placed them on the coffee table. Then, in the strange gazes of the three people around him, he took out a few barrels of gasoline and a few tents for wild camping.
"I have a better suggestion than exploring the whole villa."
Raising his head to look at the other three, Bai Zhi had a serious look on his face.
"Why don't we just burn this villa with gasoline?"
"...How did you come up with the idea of putting these things in your backpack?"
Smelling the pungent smell of gasoline, the corners of Gentle Smile and Soft Heart’s mouth twitched.
"Each player's initial backpack has only 30 slots, and can carry items that are no more than ten times the player's own weight at most. You put these in the backpack..."
"The times have changed, and now it is not the previous era. Naturally, we must pay attention to more efficient methods of exorcism. Under the nuclear bomb, all living beings are equal."
Bai Zhi had an expression as if his answer was common sense.
"If it weren't for the fact that there was no way to get some weapons of mass destruction, I would’ve put it in the bag as well."
Gentle Smile and Soft Heart: "..."
Night Owl:"…"
Bearded Guy: "..."
