In the dark, Shen Xixi could only hear her own breathing and heartbeat. It had been five minutes since she used the Battle Maniac card. The D-grade game item had worked, attracting the attention of the unknown monster to her.
However, the biggest test for her was about to come. There was no way she could last for more than thirty minutes if she kept running aimlessly.
After running for some time, Shen Xixi had figured out some of the monster's patterns. Its characteristics were obviously related to walls. In other words, the farther away she was from the wall, the safer she would be.
There was a free public park less than a kilometer away from the school. It was probably the farthest place in the city from the reinforced concrete forest.
Shen Xixi planned to go there and deal with the monster until Huang Yu and the others arrived. However, when she ran to the east gate, she found that the monster was already there waiting for her.
Shen Xixi had no choice but to turn around and run to the north gate. However, the monster had obviously guessed her intentions. This time, she was overtaken by it again halfway. After thinking for a while, Shen Xixi finally gave up on the south gate.
First of all, it was a longer distance, and there was no way she could outrun the monster. Second, the gate was usually locked at nine o 'clock at night. Even if she ran there, it would be useless.
In the end, Shen Xixi chose to retreat to the small garden where she stayed alone.
This was also the farthest place in the school from other buildings. Shen Xixi could circle around the small artificial lake and play hide-and-seek with the monster.
However, after running for so long, Shen Xixi's body began to send signals of fatigue to her brain. Shen Xixi was, after all, a girl. Although she started working out after becoming a player, strengthening her physique and achieving certain results, she was only slightly stronger than the average person. Moreover, unlike Zhang Heng, who always played solo, Shen Xixi was a team player.
In order to improve efficiency and cope with various complex situations, team members needed to have their own characteristics. The skills and abilities they possessed should not overlap as much as possible, complementing each other. Everyone had a fixed development path.
Shen Xixi's role in the team was to be the leader and brain. The combat phase would be handled by other members, and she needed to improve her leadership and decision-making skills. This also meant that she could not spend too much time on physical training.
In addition, the limited visibility at night also brought her quite a bit of trouble.
Of course, the small garden could be further away from the building, but the environment was more complicated. Moreover, it was not without reason that this place was known as the holy land for lovers. There were only two street lights in such a big place, and one of them was broken a long time ago. If you were in a relationship, the atmosphere was indeed very good, and you could cuddle.
But for Shen Xixi, it was a little dangerous. She didn't know how the thing behind her was able to see the surroundings without eyes. Its vision was obviously not affected by the sky. On the other hand, her vision would definitely be affected in the dark, which made it impossible for her to keep track of the enemy's movements in time.
In fact, if it weren't for the sake of preserving her strength, Shen Xixi wouldn't have taken the risk to come here and give the enemy a chance to attack her. She stopped by the lake and took a short breather. At the same time, she leaned against the artificial lake and kept an eye on the other three directions. Her strategy was simple, but effective.
Standing under the street light that was still shining, she could clearly see the road to her left and right. Behind her was the lake, and there were no buildings to ensure her safety. The only troublesome thing was in the direction in front of her, where there were trees blocking her view. Fortunately, it was winter now, and the leaves on the trees were basically gone.
This was also the area where Shen Xixi's attention was focused. If the thing really attacked her from this direction, it would be difficult to escape her eyes.
At this moment, Shen Xixi's nerves were completely tense. Her opponent was a supernatural monster. Even with her usual calmness, she was a little nervous at this time.
At this moment, the phone in her pocket vibrated again. Shen Xixi quickly glanced at it, and it was a text message from Huang Yu. There was only one simple sentence — Wait for me!!! I'm nearby, and I'll be there soon!!!
Shen Xixi had to admit that this text did indeed calm her down a little. It seemed that the situation was better than she had expected. Although Huang Yu was not the main attacker in the team, he was very strong in combat, second only to Yang Zihe. However, the latter lived the furthest away. He was the person that Shen Xixi had mentioned before, and it would take at least one and a half hours to get here. She could not count on him for the time being.
Shen Xixi calmed herself down. After receiving the news from Huang Yu, her mind was reinvigorated. Not only did she want to escape, but she also hoped to collect more useful information during her escape, so that she could prepare to deal with this thing later.
However, just as she was thinking about the next step of her strategy, the rockery in the artificial lake behind her began to melt quietly.
Shen Xixi could not be blamed for being careless. Before this, the thing had been moving along the cement walls, and Shen Xixi had been deliberately keeping a distance from the buildings on campus. She did not expect that the rockery walls could be used by that thing.
When the black liquid quietly flowed behind her, it was too late for Shen Xixi to react. At this time, the fake Ma Wei had also arrived. She had gone to look for Shen Xixi, but after taking two steps, she stopped, took out a piece of plasticine from her pocket, and rubbed it with a bitter face.
It was not until two minutes ago that she was finally done. She hurriedly ran to the artificial lake, saw the thing behind Shen Xixi, and threw the plasticine in her hand.
The plasticine landed in front of Shen Xixi and the black liquid. The next second, a wall rose out of thin air.
Shen Xixi was taken aback, thinking that the fake Ma Wei had a grudge against her and wanted to use the thing to kill her. The next moment, she saw that the thing was indeed blocked by the wall, and its characteristics seemed to have disappeared.
"What are you waiting for? Run!" shouted the fake Ma Wei. "My plasticine wall won't last long."
Shen Xixi immediately ran. At the same time, she asked in surprise, "Are you a player too?"
"Sort of." The fake Ma Wei sighed as she answered. She hated exercise the most, and now that Zhang Heng was gone, her human mount was gone as well. All she could do was pinch her nose and run with Shen Xixi. After taking two steps, however, she suddenly thought of something and stopped. "Yeah! I almost fainted! Why am I running? Didn't that thing only attack you?"
However, Shen Xixi's next words poured a bucket of cold water on her. "My game item also has a time limit. It lasts for fifteen minutes, and now there are less than two minutes left."
The fake Ma Wei burst into tears. "Fine, I'll just keep running."
