This battle could not be called a tough one because none of the five players had lost any Life Points. However, after this battle, the strength of each member of the team could be seen.
To put it simply, there were three players who had the ability to clear the scenario and two who were practically useless burdens …
Wang Tanzhi's face and clothes were splattered with the monster baby's blood. Thankfully, the monster's body fluid did not come with any poison or other special effects. It only made the smell of his body worse. Long Aomin had the shield, so his clothes were relatively clean. Feng Bujue, on the other hand, was seriously 'contaminated', but he quickly dealt with that problem.
Feng Bujue seemed to have come up with a solution. After dealing with the last mutated monster baby, he turned and walked toward a car. He opened the door and pulled out a seat cover. Then, he walked to a fire hydrant by the roadside and used a wrench to loosen the valve. Water flowed out from it. Then, he used the seat cover as a rag and used the running water to wipe his face and clothes. He quickly cleaned up the mess on his body and washed away the smell.
Wang Tanzhi followed suit and pulled out a rag from the car. Then, he squatted down beside Feng Bujue and started to clean up the mess on his body.
Long Aomin inspected the bodies of the monster babies one by one. After confirming that they were all dead, he sighed in relief and sat down on the edge of the road to allow his Stamina Points to recover.
Mr. Loneliest and Ms. Saddest walked over and returned to the range of the streetlight. "Thank you. If not for you, we would have been done for," Mr. Loneliest said. Mr. Lonesome said. His tone was much more humble. At first, he thought that his level was at least higher than the two Level 5 guys, so he should have more right to speak. But now, he would no longer question the validity of Feng Bujue's suggestion.
"Before we reach the coordinates of the Demonic Gate …" Feng Bujue had already washed his face clean. He wiped his shirt and pants as he said, "… I have to help each of you find a piece of equipment. Even if it's a broken quality item, it's better than fighting barehanded."
"The city in this scenario is very big. I believe it won't be hard to find something that can be used as a weapon on the streets. If there's no other choice, I can pick up a steel rod or use Brother Feng's wrench to remove some of its parts," Long Aomin said. "By the way, you mentioned earlier … the three possibilities of the darkness …"
"The first possibility is that … the surrounding light didn't actually dim, but our vision and hearing were interfered with at the same time." Feng Bujue replied directly, "Our eyes were blinded by darkness, and strange sounds entered our ears, but everything around us was the same." He paused. "If this hypothesis is valid, then there is a problem. Is the 'main entity' that interfered with us hiding close to us, but we can't see it … or is it somewhere far away?"
When they heard the terms' nearby 'and' can't see it ', the other four felt goosebumps rise on their skin. Only Feng Bujue himself did not seem to care.
"Furthermore, why did the monster change in the end? Is it because the thing that interfered with us used those few seconds to influence the monster as well? " He wiped himself clean and tossed away the chair cover. "These are temporarily unproven theories, and I do not wish to delve deeper into them. Hmm … Let's talk about the second possibility. The darkness is real, and it has enveloped the entire city and even the entire world in this scenario. "
Wang Tanzhi chimed in. "How can that be done? We can ignore the streetlights, but the moon is not a light bulb. How can it be turned off so easily? "
"No matter how it was done, we can assume that some kind of power has done it. Then … what happened earlier was that this world was consumed by an unknown darkness, and it lasted for several seconds. In those few seconds, the monster … probably under the influence of this darkness … went through a biological change and strengthening. "
He put the wrench away and sat down on the edge of the road. "Personally, I'm more inclined to believe the second possibility. This kind of darkness is more like a natural phenomenon. Its effect and effect have no specific target, and it's not just targeted at us."
"What about the third possibility?" Long Aomin asked.
"The system changed the scenario due to the efficiency we showed when we killed the first four monsters," Feng Bujue replied.
"That can't be right, right?" Mr. Loneliest said. "Mr. Loneliest and I have queued up for this scenario twice before, and we have never encountered something like this before. No matter how fast and easy the team was, there was no sudden increase in the difficulty of the scenario."
Mr. Loneliest added, "We've run into players around Brother Long's level before, and the monsters in the early stages of the scenario were all killed instantly. That's why I said earlier that with a level ten player leading the way, we should be able to clear the scenario." He was telling the truth, but in the previous scenario, the level ten player did not purposely come to protect them, so they had died in the end.
"Hmm … I also think the third possibility is very small," Feng Bujue said with some thought.
Actually, the reason he would come up with this hypothesis was because of the trap that the AI had set for him in the Solo Survival Mode. At that moment, he quickly denied this possibility. "This is the first time I've queued for a Team Survival Mode, so I'm not sure about the actual situation. In that case … this possibility can be ruled out."
By then, Wang Tanzhi had cleaned himself up. He stood up and said, "The first two possibilities can be verified after some time, right? If what Brother Bujue said is true, then no matter which one it is, as long as the scenario continues, darkness will come again. "
"You have a point …" Long Aomin stood up. His Stamina Points had recovered somewhat. "Then we'd better deal with Mr. Loneliest and Mr. Loneliest's equipment before we run into another monster or darkness."
Feng Bujue also stood up and said, "The route that I plan to take will pass by a police station. When we arrive there, we'll go in to search. Perhaps there will be guns, batons … If we're lucky, we might find bulletproof vests, masks, and shields." He seemed to be running out of patience. "I've wanted to try shooting with a shotgun for a long time now …"
Long Aomin's heart shivered when he heard that. Feng Bujue sounded like a crazed murderer who lacked the means to commit murder …
The group discussed for a few minutes before moving again to head toward the police station that Feng Bujue had mentioned. Even though the oppressive atmosphere around them was still dark, and they had no idea how many monsters were hiding in the shadows, the five of them still had some anticipation toward the police station that Feng Bujue had described.
After all, at the early stage of the game, shooting weapons were rare. If they could find a gun, and if it was a powerful shotgun or an assault rifle, even if they died halfway through the scenario, it would be worth it.
