Chapter 119 City of Ruins, Increased Hunting
According to the tactics of the tug-of-war, Huanyan used the military knife as a disposable item, and quickly eliminated the other five monsters.

Each time, she didn't directly use the military knife to attack, but first used the chain dart to wrestle with the monsters, test the reaction of the monsters, and determine which positions are the vital points of the monsters.

After determining the specific vital location, use the military industrial knife to attack.

The knives in her hand are scarce, and it is best to be sure that nothing will go wrong.

After the five military knives were used up, there were only three of those monsters left.

The number of monsters decreased rapidly, making the remaining three monsters a little nervous.

They are very hesitant about whether to continue chasing the player.

And this hesitation gave the four of Huanyan more time to escape.

The four of Huanyan had been wandering around the school before, never leaving the scope of the school.

Now they took the opportunity to leave the school and run further away.

A group of four ran out of a street, and Bai Xi only looked back.

There was nothing behind him, not a single monster was chasing after him.

"They didn't give up, did they?" Bai Xi couldn't believe it.

If he really gave up, of course he would be very happy.

However, according to the rules of the game, there is no reason for these monsters not to chase after them.

Even though these monsters have self-awareness, feel danger, and want to suspend hunting, but due to the limitations of the game, as NPCs, their most fundamental mission cannot be violated.

Even if they are reluctant, they still have to run after the player.

For the game controller, whether the NPC will die or not is not an important thing, what is important is to increase the tension of the player and thus gain negative emotional energy.

Even if the player successfully kills the NPC, the negative emotions will decrease, but as long as the remaining NPCs keep chasing the player, the tension and fatigue will always exist.

"Maybe I just gave up temporarily," Huanyan thought in the same way as Bai Xi, she looked up at the surrounding buildings, "It might also be a different way of chasing."

After the distance was widened, they could no longer see where the monsters were.

It is also possible that those monsters took this opportunity to attack by detour.

And now the number of monsters is not dominant, guerrilla warfare is more suitable for them.

"Then we have to be more careful." Lin Yefei also subconsciously looked at the surrounding buildings, "There are four of us, and one of us is responsible for guarding in one direction, just in case we are attacked by surprise."

Two hours have passed by now, his transformation time is over, and he has returned to his original appearance.

Today, he has no chance to use his ability, and he can't be expected to turn into a weapon for Huanyan to use.

"That's a good idea," Xia Liangmeng responded, and said proactively, "I'll be in charge of the left side."

The remaining three people also each led one of the directions to be responsible for vigilance.

I walked through two more streets, but never encountered any danger.

Although everyone did not relax their vigilance, they have already started discussing to find a suitable place to hide and not to continue walking outside.

If you really got rid of those monsters, continuing to go outside would reveal your whereabouts, and it would be more appropriate to hide.

After walking for a while, the four of Huanyan came to a high-end residential area, went in and chose a suitable house to live in.

In order to prevent the monster from chasing here and make it easier for them to escape, they chose a room on the second floor.

As soon as they sat down, both Xia Liangmeng and Bai Xi were panting from exhaustion.

Although they were running and stopping along the way, and most of the fights were done by Huanyan, but just going back and forth for more than two hours in the tug-of-war was a huge drain on both energy and physical strength.

Lin Yefei's condition was better, he took out food and water from his backpack, and reminded Xia Liangmeng and Bai Xi: "Let's eat something to replenish now."

It was only then that Xia Liangmeng and Bai Xi felt that they were really hungry, and they hurriedly took out the compressed biscuits and mineral water they had allocated earlier from their backpacks.

"Drink some water first," Lin Yefei reminded, "Eat something after you have recovered your breath."

Xia Liangmeng took a few breaths before responding to Lin Yefei: "Don't worry, we all have experience."

She often participates in mountaineering and rock climbing, and Baixi is a fitness expert, so they both know very well that after strenuous exercise, they can only drink some water at most and cannot eat immediately.

Bai Xi didn't speak, but she also nodded at the side, expressing that she knew what she knew.

Seeing this, Lin Yefei didn't say anything more.

Huanyan checked all the windows in each room, and after making sure they were all locked, she returned to the living room.

Although she ran and fought, she was the most physically exhausted of the four, but she had the most peaceful breath among the four, only panting slightly.

She sat on the sofa with a curious look on her face: "I don't know where the remaining player is."

Up to now, there has been no announcement that the player died, which means that he is still alive and well.

Just don't know where to hide.

"Who knows where it's hiding?" Xia Liangmeng drank two sips of water, feeling her throat a lot more comfortable, she looked at Huanyan, "However, seeing how those monsters are chasing us, that player is just enjoying it."

Now that the monsters are chasing them, the remaining player will be safe.

If the monster keeps chasing them, then that player can spend the last day of the game without incident.

Well~ Sure enough, luck is also a kind of strength.

"Actually, you may not sit back and enjoy the success." Huanyan put on a comfortable posture and said to Xia Liangmeng, "Although there are nearly thirty monsters chasing us, it is not ruled out that there will be a few more monsters chasing the remaining player. "

When she first saw more than [-] monsters appearing together to besiege them, what she really subconsciously thought was that all the monsters were coming.

But thinking about it now, in terms of the needs of game controllers, each player’s negative emotions are the target they want to collect. There is no reason to give up a player over there because there are a lot of players here.

The most likely situation is that there are many monsters besieged on their side, and only two or three monsters besieged by the player.

In such a large ruined city, the number of thirty or forty monsters is already very small, so it is completely feasible for a few of them to find trouble with another player.

But having said that, to be able to survive from the pursuit of a few monsters to the present, that player still has some strength.

"That's right." Xia Liangmeng nodded, feeling that what Huanyan said made sense, "If that's true, then that player is pretty miserable."

It's a bit miserable for one person to deal with several monsters.

Although the four of them dealt with more than [-] monsters, it seemed even more miserable, but having partners together to help each other was much happier than being alone.

At least that's what she thought.

Huanyan took out the electronic watch from her backpack and glanced at the time.

Three past ten.

When the day just dawned, those monsters all appeared.

The dawn is relatively late in winter, around 06:30.

After tossing back and forth for more than three hours, it is only after ten o'clock, and it is not yet noon.

"What time is it?" Bai Xi swallowed the food in his mouth and took the time to ask.

"Ten three." Huanyan replied, putting the electronic watch back into her backpack.

"It's not even noon yet." Bai Xi lamented, "I feel like it's been a long time today, but it's not even lunch time."

"Yeah, the last day of this game is really difficult." Xia Liangmeng echoed, "We still have half a day to spend, if the monsters don't come to our door, it will be fine, then we can still hide until the end of the game."

Huanyan also opened a bag of compressed biscuits, took two mouthfuls, and drank a few more sips of water before saying, "If the rules of the previous few days of the game are still applicable today, then maybe you can hide all the time."

"You mean, maybe the situation on the last day of the game is not exactly the same as the previous few days?" Xia Liangmeng asked, "What aspects do you mean are different?"

"For example," Huan Yan tilted her head, "positioning players."

"Indeed." Lin Yefei had already realized the meaning of Huan Yan, and he nodded, "In the previous rules, monsters performed well the night before, and they could get the position of one of the players during the next day. If it is this If this is the case, then we have a high probability of being safe now."

After a pause, he added: "But if the current rule is that all monsters can see the location of all our players in real time, then unless we kill all the monsters, we will always be in danger."

"...wouldn't be so heaven-defying!" Bai Xi retorted subconsciously, and after thinking about it, he said, "If this game has reached such a level, there is no need for the rules to be so loose in the early stage, and the overall game will increase the difficulty. , wouldn’t it be more dangerous for our players? This would also allow us to breed negative emotions better.”

"Bai Xi is right, it shouldn't be so powerful." Huan Yan said, "Although there may be changes in the rules on the last day, it will not change too much. Otherwise, the overall difficulty of this game can be directly increased. One level, there is no need to put it all on the last day.”

If there is a big difference in the difficulty of the rules before and after a game, it means that the game already has the ability to increase the difficulty as a whole.

Since the difficulty of the game can be increased, there is no need for the game controller to deliberately lower the difficulty of the game.

The harder the game is, the more negative emotions the player can generate.

Therefore, even if there are changes in the rules of the game on the last day, it will not be as exaggerated as Lin Yefei said.

"It's really not as exaggerated as what I said." Lin Yefei also agreed with Huanyan and Bai Xi, "I said this just to give an example that is better for comparison, and it doesn't really mean that the rules will become like this .”

It had been almost half an hour since they were out of the sight of the three monsters and entered the house to rest.

Until now, those monsters have not appeared, which is enough to prove that those monsters cannot locate players in real time.

"That's good." Xia Liangmeng breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as it's not real-time positioning, we still have a chance to rest."

"The problem now is that we can't be sure whether the rules on the last day have changed." Huan Yan quickly finished the food and put her backpack back on her back. "I can't be sure how often those monsters will be located if the rules really change. So , we have to be ready to escape at any time, and carry all supplies with us at all times, don’t put them down.”

"That's right." Xia Liangmeng immediately responded positively and put her backpack back on her back.

Now there are not many supplies in the backpack. The guns, ammunition, and military knives are all used up, and there are only a few compressed biscuits and mineral water left.

This weight has been carried on the body and there is no pressure at all.

Bai Xi and Lin Yefei also packed up their belongings and carried their backpacks.

In order to check the situation outside and escape when monsters appeared, the four of them closed the doors of other rooms and sat on the sofa in the living room.

There is a window in the living room, and there is no anti-theft window. From this window, you can see the situation outside and respond in time.

The reason why they chose the second floor instead of the first floor was to avoid monsters attacking from both sides of the windows and doors.

None of the remaining three monsters could fly or climb walls. Even if they were found, they could only break in through the gate.

If you want to come in through the gate, you have to go up the stairs.

The window of the living room is in the same direction as the stairway. As long as those monsters want to go upstairs, they have to go through the stairway, and they cannot avoid being discovered by them.

That way, they can jump out the window and escape in time.

The height of the second floor is chosen to avoid injury when jumping out of the window.

After all, there is no escape rope now, and they cannot jump from too high a place.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the four of them always maintained a certain degree of vigilance and did not relax.

The monster never came.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Liangmeng couldn't help but said softly: "It seems that the rules of the game have not changed, and those monsters have no role for us."

"Don't relax your vigilance yet." Lin Yefei reminded in a low voice, "It may be that the game deliberately lengthens the positioning time just to make us relax."

"Yeah, I know." Xia Liangmeng didn't refute, "There are only a few hours left, and I won't relax."

Soon, the time came to three o'clock.

The long-lost cool and greasy voice suddenly sounded in the air.

[One player dies, and there are four remaining players. 】

There was a moment of silence in the living room.

Then, Xia Liangmeng sighed: "It seems that the player still didn't make it through."

It is not easy to survive alone.

"But it also proves that there are indeed several monsters chasing and killing that player." Huan Yan walked quickly to the window and looked out, "If that player dies, at least one monster that chased him will survive. It means that the number of monsters chasing and killing us will increase by at least one."
