Chapter 162: Flooded
The multiple-choice questions I asked actually didn’t require a choice at all. No one wanted to die. We had no other solution except to blockade them. Now that they knew the result they wanted, everyone didn't waste any more time, and a large teleportation scroll was thrown out in an instant. A ray of light suddenly lit up in the teleportation array in Paris, and then a large group of people emerged from it, but half of them disappeared again without stopping. It is impossible for those masters to bring Bodeburg's teleportation scrolls, so what everyone threw out just now were town-returning scrolls, so we were all sent to the nearest teleportation point, which is the teleportation point here in Paris, and then we will go to Bodeburg. The people in the fort will then pass it on.
As soon as I appeared in the teleportation array, I immediately grabbed the teleportation mage next to me and asked loudly: "Have you seen this girl?" I directly displayed the three-dimensional photo copied from the Black Widow. Now we all have a share of things, not for any other reason than to make it easier to ask people.
The mage I mentioned was just an ordinary teleportation NPC mage. I had the property of intimidating NPCs, so the NPC gave up resistance very happily, but he couldn't provide much help. . Paris is also the largest free port in Europe. Not only are there many teleportation arrays, they are also large. In order to divert passengers, the multiple teleportation arrays in the teleportation hall will automatically choose which one to accept and which one to send out based on the current availability. In other words, you can only guarantee the teleportation array to Paris, but you may not be sure which array you will come out from. The NPC I asked was only responsible for the teleportation array I was standing on. It was unclear whether the other teleportation arrays had seen the Black Widow's sister. But this was not a problem. I quickly ran to the general controller of the teleportation hall. This general control can be said to be able to supervise the entry and exit of the entire teleportation array system, and it just so happens that the teleportation array is actually in charge of the Temple of Light, which means that the person in charge here must give me face.
"President Ziri?" The angel in charge of the teleportation array stood up as soon as he saw me appearing.
I walked right up to him, pushed him back into his seat, and then showed him the photo. "Help me check, have you seen this woman appear in the teleportation hall in the past minute?"
"Please wait a moment." Considering my importance to the Temple of Light, there was no need to ask for permission for such a small favor. The angel gave me the green light directly. After waiting for a few minutes, the angel shook his head: "I'm sorry, she didn't appear here. Are you sure the time range is correct?"
"Then there's no need to check. The time must be correct."
Since the other party did not appear here, it means that she did not use the teleportation scroll to Paris. According to the Black Widow's information, her sister only had two teleportation scrolls on her body. Apart from Paris, the remaining ones were only That leaves Bodburg. Needless to say, those experts had already turned around and ran towards the teleportation array when they heard the angel say these words.
Only two or three minutes later than the Gunslingers and the others, our group of people appeared in the teleportation array of Bodeburg, and at this time, there happened to be a person waiting for us here. As soon as he saw us appearing, he immediately shouted: "We have discovered him, and the gun master asked me to stay and inform you. Come with me now, we can't hold it anymore."
"Lead the way." After two simple words, we ran out with him. In fact, we probably wouldn't have gotten lost without him leading the way, because it was already chaos outside. Bodburg is just a small city, but a small city is also a city! Although there are not many players here, bugs can not only absorb players' experience points, NPCs can also absorb them, but the way they absorb them is different. For NPCs with combat professions, they absorb experience points, but for free NPCs without combat capabilities, they absorb vitality. At this time, as soon as we rushed out of the teleportation hall, we saw more than a dozen mummies lying on the ground outside. Judging from their clothes, they should be free NPCs in the city.
"Damn, is it already flooded here?" asked a player who came with me.
The player who led us before said: "It's not overflowing yet, but it's almost there. We'd better hurry up."
"knew."
Everyone ignored the corpses on the ground and quickly followed the player to a square in front. At this time, the place had basically turned into a large ruins, and around the ruins were many high-level players intercepting the bugs. But what worries us is that there are still many people struggling in the venue, and these people are all covered with bugs.
"Listen up." I said to the people behind me: "Those who are ranked less than the top twenty will go to the outside to plug the leaks. Those who are ranked within the top twenty will work with me to clean up all the ordinary creatures in the field first. We can't let them The bugs keep breeding like this! Okay, spread out."
"Understood." The people behind cheered and dispersed, while those at the top followed me and rushed into the field. Our purpose is not to save people, but to kill them. Only by eliminating the food of these bugs first and then gradually reducing the number of bugs can we hope to completely control them. If they continue to eat like this, I believe it won't be long before there will be advanced bugs whose combat power surpasses ours!
I rushed to the worm pile where a bunch of bugs were, and stabbed it with my sword, intending to stab the players below directly to death. As long as I killed the bugs' food, the rest would be easy. The job of killing ordinary players was not a big deal to us, but now there is a problem. The moment I stabbed my sword, a few bugs actually took the initiative to hit me with the edge of the sword. As a result, my eternity was knocked crooked by the bugs and even rubbed against the body of the player who was knocked down. to the ground. This change surprised me. The intelligence of these bugs has also evolved too fast, right? They have actually realized that food is the key to their survival, so these guys have actually begun to learn to actively protect the players who have been knocked down by them.
What I encountered here is not an isolated situation. Players responsible for eliminating food sources in the field almost all encountered similar situations. The bugs relied on their own defense to actively attack our weapons and magic. The purpose was to prevent us from destroying their The food is gone, and the price they have to pay for this is just being knocked over. Our attack actually does no harm to them at all.
"Ah!" I was feeling worried when I suddenly heard a scream. When I looked back, I saw that it was a player ranked in the top twenty who was thrown to the ground by the swarm of insects. These bugs now seem to have understood how to distinguish primary targets from secondary targets, and these guys have also learned how to sneak attacks and coordinate operations. We experts are actually beginning to find themselves unable to resist.
"Yeyue." I stretched out my hand and suddenly summoned Yeyue, and the protective goggles in front of Yeyue's eyes bounced up. After a flash of red light, the bugs on the field were still running around. Petrification has no effect on them at all, but my purpose itself is not them. I want Yeyue to petrify the bugs' food so that the bugs can no longer continue. Eating. But now it seems the effect is not good. The bodies of bugs can block the petrification rays, so only a few exposed parts of the players who are being bitten turn into stones, and the bugs can basically continue to eat as long as they don't bite the area where the stones are. The petrification skill is completely useless here.
While Yeyue and I were trying to rescue the senior player who was knocked down, two more people were knocked to the ground. The Gunslinger shouted to me from far away: "Ziri, this won't work! The bugs are getting more and more powerful! Even the average master can't stand it!"
"But we alone can't stop these bugs!" Black Widow shouted.
"Who can isolate this area?" I shouted to the people fighting in the square.
"I have it." A Russian man said while fighting: "Our guild has an energy barrier generator that can generate a space barrier. Creatures that can't teleport through space can't pass through the barrier, but it consumes a lot of energy to activate. , Our guild doesn’t have that many magic crystals!”
"First borrow the magic crystal from the guild in France. After the matter is over, everyone will share the cost equally! Does anyone have any opinions?"
"Agree."
"Agree."
…
In the end, everyone supported this approach, otherwise we would all be in trouble. The Russian player immediately sent a notice to the people in his guild. Although the thing was not small, it was dismantled and sent to France regardless of the cost. In just twenty minutes, we completed a space barrier covering the entire city. However, the magic crystal consumed by this barrier every minute is calculated in tons. Even if we, the boss guilds, share it, we will have to share it one by one. It’s so scary to watch, this thing is just a waste of money!
After the isolation barrier was established, we began to evacuate people one after another. However, there were actually people of all levels in the city. In order to evacuate everyone, we lost many people, and in the end there were still many people. The bugs stayed within the barrier. As long as the bugs absorbed all those people, we would be busy for a while.
"What should we do now?" asked a player ranked in the twenties. "Now it seems that only your three strongest people are the only ones who can fight among these bugs with ease. It will be a disservice if we go in. Do you plan to deal with these things by yourself or what?"
The Gunslinger looked at me and then at the Black Widow with some embarrassment, and then said: "It seems that we can't refuse even if we want to! Really, how could we encounter such bad luck?"
"This matter has a lot to do with me. Even if it doesn't harm all the players in the game, I still have to go in!" Black Widow said guiltily. No matter what, it was her sister who caused the incident, or it could also be said that she was the cause indirectly.
Now that these two have taken a stand, I can't go back. Besides, there is really no way to retreat from this kind of thing! "In that case, let the three of us go in! Your task is to help us respond outside. You are responsible for transporting away the bugs we catch, and you are responsible for replenishing the confinement devices for us."
"no problem."
After the matter was settled, the Gunslinger and the Black Widow and I immediately entered the barrier. The consumption of this thing was too terrible, and we really didn't dare to waste time!
