The copy has 0 error tolerance, and the last words on the ground are all wrong for me.

Chapter 130 Blood Moon

Kingdom Necropolis, Grave No. 43.

At 1:50 in the morning, Huopao walked alone in the gloomy cemetery, holding an oil lamp.

Today was not a good day for him.

To be precise, he has been in Mercury retrograde for the past half month, and nothing has gone smoothly.

Of course, the most unfortunate thing was being queued into the Midnight Cemetery dungeon.

As a popular copy on the difficulty list recently, he paid attention to Midnight Cemetery.

His focus, like that of most players in the Wasteland, is to wait and see when the bomb will explode and which unlucky guy will be hit.

At first, the difficulty of the Midnight Cemetery was not high. When its pollution value was within the normal range, someone had achieved a good result of 60% dungeon exploration rate.

But later, as the pollution value of the copy continued to increase, the difficulty of the Midnight Cemetery increased exponentially.

Especially recently, the clearance rate has been zero for a month and a half, causing its pollution value to soar, all the way to third place in the B-level copy difficulty list, becoming a recognized extremely difficult copy.

Everyone knew that something went wrong in the copy, but no organization went to deal with it.

Because the location of Midnight Ranch is very sensitive.

It is located in the gap between the Administration and the White Tower control area, and is not under the jurisdiction of either party. If the copy gets out of control, the erosion copy will appear in the real area, 80% of which are in areas such as Mada, Sakurajima and Bangjima.

But the fatal thing is that there is a 20% chance of appearing in Xia Country or White Tower.

The relationship between the Administration and the White Tower is even more sensitive than asking passers-by about their gender at the White Tower, which makes both parties unwilling and afraid to intervene in the Midnight Cemetery.

If the situation is resolved, questions and condemnations will follow as the actual scope of control is expanded, resources in neutral areas are encroached upon, and the development of surrounding small and medium-sized organizations is squeezed out.

What's worse, some people will doubt the legitimacy of the motive for breaking the situation. How could a good and ordinary copy be contaminated to the point of being on the verge of being out of control? If it wasn't you who did it secretly, why did you break the situation?

If he failed to break the impasse and the copy got out of control in his own home, not only would he be ridiculed by the outside world, he would not be able to explain himself to his own organization.

If there is an extremely small probability that the Breaker sent by one party fails in the attack and the Erosion Copy appears in the other party's home, then the fun will be even greater.

Large organizations dare not move, and small organizations cannot move.

The combination of various factors turns the Midnight Cemetery into a large-scale Russian roulette. When the copy explodes, it will randomly shoot at the unlucky winner.

In the past, artillery and the crowd on the forum were just like people who were discussing every day who would be the unlucky one to be shot.

Now he knew, it was him.

Is there anything more unlucky than entering a midnight graveyard?

Yes, that is, the teammates I was assigned to were from the Ironclad Regiment.

He had heard of the Ironclad Regiment's bad reputation, but he thought that no matter how domineering they were, it should be fine as long as he didn't provoke them.

Who knew that Lei Hu was far more domineering than he thought, and would start fighting as soon as they disagreed.

Although Cannon's level was not much lower than Lei Hu's, the Future Warrior job transformation he possessed was only a green job transformation, which was very different from Lei Hu's golden Lei Lishi job transformation. He couldn't even hold out for a single encounter and was caught on the spot.

Control in the physical sense.

Just like the saying that a war was lost because of a nail, one misfortune can easily lead to a series of misfortunes and ultimately cause a catastrophic disaster.

Because he rebelled against Lei Hu, he was assigned to the cemetery farthest from other players. Because he was injured, he moved slowly, resulting in him just arriving at the gravekeeper's hut when tonight's night patrol was about to begin.

His predecessor urged him to sign the employment agreement, threw down a notebook and ran away on the spot. His speed was comparable to that of agile players of the same level, and no one could stop him.

Seeing that the night patrol time had already begun, his copy of the game had already started badly. He didn't want to fail as a gravekeeper on his first day.

Although this was his first time entering a copy that was on the verge of getting out of control, it was not much more difficult than an ordinary real copy.

With this thought in mind, he carried an oil lamp and the notes of the previous gravekeeper, and read as he walked.

"The dead are received. Every evening, a special carriage will enter the cemetery to transport the bodies to be buried. The bodies need to be stored in the church and buried during the day tomorrow. Before storing them in the church, we must first make sure that the hands and feet of the bodies are tied together."

"The dead are buried..."

……

"Night patrol, every night at 2 a.m., you must patrol according to the route..."

The artillery looked around as it walked, using the dim light of an oil lamp.

He was surrounded by a dead and eerie cemetery, with broken tombstones and rotten skeletons of unknown identities appearing under his feet from time to time, forcing him to dodge as he moved forward.

In addition, the thick vines on the ground that could entangle people's ankles and the scavenger beasts running through his shadow made him extremely nervous.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side of him.

"Can you see the moon in the sky?"

Huo Pao replied subconsciously: "There's such a big full moon in the sky, can't you see it if you look up?"

He flipped through his notes and saw a passage written in red pen at the very beginning of the next page.

"Pay special attention!!! If someone asks you a question while you're on patrol, don't answer!!! Run away until you can no longer hear the question!!!"

"Fuck me!"

Huo Pao was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head following the voice of doubt, only to see that the tree he had mistakenly thought was passing by was actually moving.

It was a monster that was over seven meters tall and was made up of multiple different bodies.

Its trunk is as thick as a big tree, as thick as two people can hold together. If you look closely, you can see that its body is like a hemp rope, woven from multiple strands of "thin ropes".

The only difference is that each "thin rope" is made up of human torsos without heads connected to each other.

The trunk of the tree is full of various branches, which looks like a dense crown at first glance. Below the trunk, there are countless human hands and feet serving as roots. They are digging the land rapidly at this moment, changing from a "rooted" state to a mobile state.

The voice that questioned him came from the upper middle of the tree monster's trunk, about four meters above the ground.

The headless human bodies that made up the tree monster's trunk, with their missing heads, were now neatly arranged in a circle and nailed there.

Because they have no necks, these heads cannot lift their heads and cannot see the moon above their heads.

But they can move their eyeballs. Dozens of pairs of eyes are looking at the artillery passing by diagonally below them, their eyes full of jealousy and madness.

"You really want to snatch the moon from me!"

"I'm fighting with you for a hammer!"

Cannon activated the acceleration skill, quickly distanced himself from the tree monster, and took out his rifle.

He pulled the trigger and bullets poured out like a rainstorm. Every bullet hit the tree monster and caused a violent explosion, causing the tree monster to wail in pain.

In just five seconds, the tree monster was cut in half by bullets, and the faces on the trunk were shot into sieves.

Whether on the Blue Star or in the Wild World, any carbon-based life form cannot withstand the powerful firepower of thermal weapons.

What's more, this is a weapon that has been enhanced by the Future Warrior. The Future Warrior's job change is a weapon modification. As long as the current equipped weapon is a thermal weapon or a high-tech weapon, the weapon can be transformed into a future weapon.

The rifles in the hands of the artillery will have greatly improved recoil, magazine capacity, bullet power and firing rate after future modifications. They can also obtain adaptive special modifications by analyzing the target.

This makes the C-class energy rifle in his hand more powerful than ordinary B-class firearms.

The Future Warrior job transfer has almost no enhancement to the player's main attributes, but it can be ranked among the top ten green job transfers and is even more popular than some red job transfers because of its powerful weapon modification skills.

Relying on this gun, Cannon killed hundreds of strong goblins alone in the last B-level copy.

Such a brilliant record also gave him the confidence to be the second to speak after Guangzhi.

If I can’t beat the thunder tiger, how can I beat you, a tree monster?
hum~
There was a buzzing sound like tinnitus in the ears of the artillery, and then he saw a flock of crows flying across the sky, and the bright full moon began to turn blood red.

The half of the tree monster was cut in half and lay on the ground, with its face raised up, just able to see the blood moon in the sky.

"What a beautiful moon! I knew you had hidden it!"

Under the influence of the blood moon, the tree monster's broken body quickly recovered and stood up again.

After standing up, the moon disappeared from its eyes again.

Dozens of faces shed tears of blood, showing expressions of sadness and anger, and said to the cannon:

"Damn thief, you hid the moon again. It is my miracle, you can't take it away!"

Huopao cursed, "You're crazy. If you like looking at the moon so much, why don't you stick your head on the treetops?"
He raised his gun and shot at the tree monster, but soon realized that something was wrong.

The blood moon has greatly strengthened the tree monster. The damage that could originally be caused by one shot now requires three to five shots.

At the same time, the recovery speed of tree monsters after being damaged is also greatly improved.

Before the blood moon, half a magazine of bullets was enough to cut the tree monster in half. But after the blood moon, a magazine of bullets could only blast large holes on its surface, and it was difficult to even penetrate it.

While the artillery was changing bullets, the tree monster's lower limbs, which were made up of human hands and feet, became swollen to black and purple. The next moment, it catapulted and rushed straight towards him.

As an experienced player, Cannon had dozens of experiences of fighting large monsters alone. He knew very well how to survive the firepower vacuum period and how to protect himself.

He raised a C-class riot shield in his left hand and huddled behind the shield to block the long-range attacks launched by the monster.

At the same time, the tree monster rushed to two meters in front of him and used a sideways roll.

C-level skill dodge, there is a short invincibility effect during the rolling process, 10 charges, and a cooldown time of 120 seconds.

Combined with the explosion-proof shield, it is enough for him to survive the fire vacuum period and keep a distance from the monster.

He rolled over and avoided the tree monster's attack. While rolling, he took a moment to look at his notebook, which read:

"If the moon turns red during your night patrol, please return to the gravekeeper's cabin immediately. Do not engage in a fight during a blood moon. Once a fight occurs, you will be unable to leave the cemetery for the time being."

Amynos!

Huo Pao started to talk very eloquently on the spot, and expressed a strong desire for physical interaction with the female relatives of the former grave keeper.

Your reminder is so timely!
The tree monster didn't stop after it hit the ground and turned, rushing towards him like a snake, sticking to the ground.

The tree monster looks clumsy and slow, but because of its huge size, its absolute speed is not slow.

The artillery didn't have time to create enough distance, so it could only roll over again, like a bullfighter, to get past the tree monster and escape in another direction.

He moved like a snake among the tombstones, raising his loaded rifle in an attempt to prevent the tree monster from further attacking.

But the tree monster had no intention of stopping. Finding that it could not hit the cannon with a direct collision, it changed its attack method, stretched its body, lay horizontally on the ground, and rolled towards the cannon like a rolling log.

The tree monster crushed the tombstones and stones it encountered on its rolling path and wrapped them around its body as armor, which not only could block bullets but also allowed it to grow larger like a snowball.

The artillery is good at positional warfare and long-range attacks. The tree monster has been chasing him closely, which has put great pressure on him.

After dodging the tree monster's attacks several times in a row, he had almost exhausted his number of rolling times. If he continued like this, he would be completely passive.

The good news is that the artillery has mastered the rhythm of the tree monster and found a way to break the deadlock.

He used his second to last roll, timing the roll with invincibility, perfectly avoided the tree monster's impact, and got close to the tree monster's crown.

Then he took out a string of grenades from his personal space and threw them towards the tree monster's crown.

According to his observation, the crown of the tree is the most vulnerable part of the tree monster, and attacking here will cause great damage to the tree monster.

According to the tree monster's attack frequency, he used a final roll after landing, which gave him just enough invincibility time to avoid the tree monster's pursuit and evade the shock wave of the explosion.

Everything is under control.

However, when he threw the grenade at the tree crown, he found that the tree monster's crown cracked, revealing a bottomless mouth like an abyss.

Then the tree monster's body suddenly stretched out, like a cobra catching its prey, and instantly swallowed the grenade string and artillery.

Feeling the darkness that suddenly engulfed him, as well as the light and heat that erupted not far away, the cannon cursed:
"Damn fast and slow knife!"

boom!
The explosion almost blew off the upper half of the tree monster's body, but under the blood moon, it quickly recovered.

It wandered aimlessly in the kingdom's cemetery, looking for a suitable branch to poke into the exposed upper half of its body.

As it walked, it smelled the breath of a living person. Following the scent, it walked quickly and soon found two figures.

"Brother Sean, please forgive me. Shall we wait until the blood moon is over before continuing our night patrol?"

Haner was numb. As an old gravekeeper, he was certainly aware of the horror of the blood moon. Even he was unwilling to enter the cemetery during a blood moon.

But this young man just wouldn't listen. He was under an evil spell and couldn't disobey the other party, so he could only keep persuading.

Wu Chang waved his hand and said, "Brother Haner, you don't have to worry about me."

Han Er was anxious: "I'm worried about myself!"

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a voice behind them, asking, "Can you see the moon in the sky?"

Wu Chang turned around and looked at the Mediterranean tree monster in front of him, which had only branches on both sides and a bare patch in the middle. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He grabbed Haner who was trying to escape, looked at the fresh bloody words on the tree monster, and couldn't help but sigh.

Just as he had expected, they would meet again soon.

And when they meet again, there will definitely be some unlucky person who will meet him with resentment.

He looked at Han Er and asked, "Brother Han Er, is it too late to escape now?"

Han Er was about to cry, "I just know that if you pull me again, it will be too late!"

"Then do your best and don't let it catch you. We'll meet in the gravekeeper's hut."

Wu Chang let go of his hand, waved at Han Er who was running out, and then activated social phobia and advanced stealth.
