Chapter 477 Johannesson's Knee
Li Nuo fell freely in the air and passed through the clouds. The dense city was like an electronic vein imprinted on the retina.
At the same time, the system prompts:
[Side Mission: Time Traveler]
[Task reward: Dante’s skill entry (a total reward for the team)]
[Mission details: Dante walks in various worlds and encounters many monsters that are difficult to deal with. Some creatures that have not been eliminated for special reasons still exist. Kill these monsters and obtain additional rewards]
[Mission update: There is a hidden BOSS in this city]
Li Nuo opened his body and fell, his mind was confused at the moment.
Chabai and [Hidden BOSS location code] are not here, things are difficult to handle, and it turns out that women have to rely on them to go out.
He put the incident behind him.
When he landed on top of a rusty tower, he used Cuihua's [Ghost Hand Grab] to grab the steel bars on the top of the tower before falling to the ground and turning into a bloody paste, and he landed safely.
"inconvenient."
He looked at his left hand. Since the robot hand disappeared, the disadvantages of the flesh and blood hand have emerged. The pain feedback is great, and the flying ability of the robot hand has also disappeared.
The only skill I can rely on now is "Cuihua".
"Ha~ So you still have to rely on me." Green flowers popped out from his fingers. This guy was still wearing a nightcap, looking like he would never wake up: "The eggshell just now was delicious, are there any more?"
"Want something good to eat?"
“Food is the most important thing for the people!”
Cuihua is a particularly difficult summoned beast to manage. It is sometimes disobedient and needs a little temptation before it can help.
"If you want to eat, just help me explore the surrounding area."
"oh……"
As "Green Flower" flew away like a will-o'-the-wisp, Li Nuo activated the ability to connect with its sight.
The city is called Satellite City No. 100, also known as Donami City.
The urban area is very large, stretching as far as the eye can see. There are tall buildings one after another, which are coated with layers of silver under the cloudy sky. A large number of unfinished buildings are scattered all over the place. The streets are messy and dirty. The buildings are arranged as you please, which means there is no management and the road planning is arbitrary.
What Cuihua saw was very different from the Cairo world in Li Nuo's impression.
Chaos, filth, and thugs everywhere.
"Okay, I've probably memorized the map."
Li Nuo tapped his temples and based on his modeling experience, he analyzed the directions of several main roads in the city. Which intersections are easy to escape from, which areas are easy to attack with bombs, and which places can be robbed. These are all important information for entering a strange environment. .
[I found a guy without an ID card].
Li Nuo turned his head, and an old mechanical ball floated from the sky, with a face of "(ΘへΘ)" spread out on its screen.
【Who are you? 】
Li Nuo replied: "I am your father."
[Dad, dad! Don't hit me! 】
The strange mechanical ball ran away as if it had met its own father who was good at domestic violence.
Funny as it may seem at first glance, beneath its exterior lies unmanaged chaos.
Li Nuo put down the backpack given to him by the gorilla. Apart from useless supplies, such as "a plane cup that can be used to drink water" and a "kind knife", most of the rest in the bag was some canned food.
The most useful thing is nothing more than a record book written by a gorilla.
He sat on a high tower, pried open the can with a suicide knife, inserted the knife into the inferior lunch meat, pulled it out, and threw the discarded can into Cuihua's mouth.
One person got angry, eating on the high-speed train while reading the record book.
Half an hour later, Cuihua crunched the discarded can and muttered, "I can't understand."
Li Nuo closed the book: "You are illiterate."
Cuihua was shocked. She had forgotten that she was illiterate!
The pink-haired gorilla recorded basic information about the city in a book.
Donami City.
Three hundred years ago, it was a deserted planet. After an interstellar hunter discovered rare ores, it attracted a large number of "Cairo Stars".
Fifty years ago, the minerals dried up and the city lost its prosperity and became a trading hub.
Thirty years ago, it was destroyed for unknown reasons (by players) and became a no-no-no zone, a theoretically lawless place, but on the surface, order still exists.
There are actually no indigenous people here, and those who settled here are the descendants of some interstellar hunters who mined the city.
There was a note in the book given by the pink gorilla.
——"Actually, the orangutan princess is not a princess, but a bit mentally delusional, so she regards this city as her castle. She is indeed a good person and a rich person. She hopes that her people can live well, but Sometimes when you are mentally ill, you can’t do anything and can only leave things to others.”
——"Finally, I want to say sorry. Regarding the virus, because there is no actual manager in the city, it is too hidden and we have no way of starting. If you find it difficult, please exit this farce in time."
Li Nuo stared at the task panel with dead eyes.
"I'd rather quit."
The punishment for withdrawing from the script was too severe, and he didn't want to come here in vain. There were funny characters everywhere, who might be able to help him solve the problem of how to break the [Brave Sword].
"Hey... I'm still hungry." Cuihua flew around coquettishly.
Li Nuo threw the note into Cuihua's mouth and burned it.
In the end, the gorillas did not give out any information about the virus, so they had to rely on themselves.
There are two other things in the bag, one is the key to the warehouse where the "Gorilla Princess" keeps pets, and the other is the "Princess Badge" that can be used on the "Cairo Police Station".
Through his fights with the pets on the spaceship, he had a feeling that the pets collected by the gorilla princess were very suitable for making decoctions. There were more pets in the city, and the location was not remote, so it was easier to find.
As for the Cairo Police Station, he had an unreliable impression of the people in Cairo, so he didn't have much hope.
In the end, he still had to rely on himself.
"Chabai, Lao Ma..."
He walked down the stairs of the tower, muttering.
"It's been a long time since I felt like this."
[Task requirements: solve the source of the virus]
Li Nuo closed the panel and took back Cuihua.
He went down the stairs and came to the only indoor area of the tower. Graffiti covered the iron wall with creeping moss, as if a second-rate guy could jump out and shout "Ola" at any time.
In an area of less than 30 square meters, in the middle of the scattered benches, there was a shop with dim lights on.
The owner of the shop was a bearded Cairo alien.
"(˙灬˙)Have you bought a ticket?"
The old man in Cairo raised his squinting eyes, and looked listless as if he would die of old age at any time.
Li Nuo went over: "Buy a ticket?"
The old man: "Yes... This is the sightseeing tower."
Li Nuo understood: "I came down from the top, which means I bought a ticket."
The old man: "Oh..."
Li Nuo approached the counter and said: "I have to give you money when I go up, and you have to give me money when I come down?"
The old man thought for a while: "(ΘдΘ；) Really, it's true! Wait a minute!"
The old man in Cairo clumsily took out a few teeth from the cash register: "Young man... I seem to have forgotten to change money today, you can use my teeth as currency first."
Li Nuo accepted it and kept it all as "alchemical materials".
During the period, he tried to pull out the old man's beard, but the old man did not become younger. It seems that the Cairo uncle "Hallicka" became younger by tearing off his beard. It seems that it was just the uncle's awesomeness. Not all Cairo people have such a miracle.
The old man in Cairo lay down and continued to sleep soundly.
The tower was built twenty years ago and has long been unfinished. The old man is a little mentally disturbed. The photos of his family are placed on the shelf, and the photos are not dusty.
"The old man's family ran away a long time ago. He stayed here because his head was smashed."
Li Nuo moved his eyes back, and a group of young people with dyed hair walked up from the lower steps.
"The guy without shoes, beggar?"
"Yeah."
Bang~!
One of the young men ejected a coin, and Li Nuo caught it with his backhand. One yuan can buy nothing.
"Dance, and I'll give you another one."
Li Nuo stuffed the coin into his trouser pocket. He decided to fulfill the duty of the Warrior of Light and hijack the gangsters with violence.
A minute later, the four guys were lying on the ground.
The old man in Cairo played music and held a newspaper in his hand, as if the fight outside had nothing to do with him.
Li Nuo sat on the dying gangster, put on the guy's sneakers, changed into a black hoodie, took out the wallet from their pockets, and put the money into his own pocket.
"You think gangsters don't even bring knives?" Li Nuo asked disappointedly.
The gangster brother under him smiled calmly: "Brother, I was wrong, I will definitely bring it next time..."
Li Nuo slapped him immediately.
"There will be a next time!"
"No, there will be no next time!"
Seeing that the love education of the Warrior of Light has begun to take effect, Li Nuo threw the empty wallet on the ground and returned it to its original owner.
The ears moved.
Two guys came up from the lower floor. They seemed to be used to fighting. They rolled their eyes at Li Nuo and the people lying on the ground and walked straight to the shop of the old man Cairo.
It is worth mentioning that among the people Li Nuo saw now, except for the old man Cairo, there were a total of six people, and four of them were "human" in appearance.
The two who just came were blue-skinned aliens with spikes on their faces and extremely long arms that hit below the knees.
This is a city with mixed races.
Cairo people account for 10%, gorillas account for 20%, strange-looking alien intelligent creatures account for 20%, and the remaining 50% are humans.
"Old man, buy some water."
One of the two people who came up said as he fumbled from the old man, took out an empty wallet, and threw the wallet on the face of the old man in disappointment and anger.
"Poor guy!"
"Young people are so irritable..."
The old man in Cairo picked up the wallet and put the family photo that fell on the ground back in with trembling fingers.
The two young men didn't care at all.
"I said where is the money in this broken place."
The other man frowned suddenly.
"I'm thirsty."
"No money!"
"It's okay, bear it... It doesn't hurt."
His companion bit his neck!
The sharp teeth penetrated the blood vessels, and the lower body of the bitten person trembled, urinated incontinently, and looked refreshed.
Blood splashed all over the old man Cairo's face. The old man wiped his face with a white handkerchief and complained: "It's not civilized to use your mouth when quarreling..."
This is not a quarrel.
It's a mutation.
A guy who was beaten by Li Nuo and chose to pretend to be dead suddenly stood up: "I'm going, run!"
As he ran away, all the people who pretended to be dead ran like crazy.
Li Nuo stood up considerately and let the gangster who was sitting on his buttocks go. The guy was very polite and didn't forget to say "Thank you" while running.
"Slow down, don't sprain your ankle."
Li Nuo kindly advised, and then slowly moved his eyes back to look at the guy who was sucking his friend's blood.
This guy didn't have any "demon" aura before he mutated, and the "hunter" senses would not deceive Li Nuo.
The mutation is not latent, but suddenly breaks out at certain times.
The teeth become sharp, the pupil disappears, the eyes are all black, the blood vessels protrude from the body surface, and the skin color fades from blue to white.
Vampire.
The virus lurking in the city turns people into vampires. The virus can spread, but it has not spread. As for the truth... the truth is right in front of us.
Li Nuo licked his dry lips and looked over.
"I haven't had this experience for a long time."
He especially likes this feeling that needs to be discovered slowly by himself.
The vampire raised his head, his eyes bursting with malice, and pounced on Li Nuo. The next second, he was thrown to the ground by an over-the-shoulder throw.
Even without equipment and those fancy active skills, even if the magic power is suppressed, even if many negative effects make it impossible to go all out, but with muscle memory and fighting skills, the vampire is like a pet and has no power to resist.
Li Nuo smiled and dug its eyes out, his fingers went deep, and pulled out its brain.
The other person who was bitten to death also completed the mutation at this time. He stood up, and his body was like a puppet.
Li Nuo wiped the sticky pus off his fingers.
Cairo old man took out a kitchen knife from the drawer and threw it over.
"Don't get your hands dirty, kid."
Li Nuo caught the kitchen knife.
"Thank you."
[Flame kitchen knife]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effect: The slash has fire attribute]
[Brief description: An engineer hated the process of preparing vegetables, so he invented this kitchen knife that can roast vegetables while cutting them]
The kitchen knife turned in his hand, and the flames on the blade drew a circle.
Li Nuo took a step back, avoiding the vampire's pounce, and cut off its arm with a knife, and the smell of burning rose.
The fallen arm turned into particles and disappeared, and the vampire's broken arm regenerated instantly, turning into a new arm covered with kitchen knife blades.
Li Nuo: Possessing learning ability.
He tested the depth of the vampire, and his combat power was average. He had no thinking ability when he first awakened. He should need to eat to have human thinking. He usually disguised himself as a human, and when he was hungry, he awakened and sucked blood to fill his stomach.
When the above information was imprinted deep in his brain, he was already holding the severed vampire head.
The headless vampire was shaky and finally stumbled to the ground.
Vampires are not strong, even a little weak, Li Nuo plans to catch a live one to play with.
"Can you give me this knife?"
"It's all dirty, I'll give it to you."
The old man picked up the newspaper again.
Li Nuo went over and took a black plastic bag, put the vampire head in it, and stored it as a material for decoction and experiments.
Click, the old man turned on the radio.
[Mr. 999 in Cape Town has already achieved research results]
[Sand (turn channel)——]
[The recent disappearance of the well-known mental patient "Gorilla Princess" in Donamei City has been updated. Her rich father has offered a reward of one Cairo coin to find his daughter. It is reported that the princess's father is so happy that he cried]
[Sand (turn channel)——]
[The number of missing people has increased recently. The only two official detectives of the Cairo Security Bureau remind everyone to lock the door when sleeping]
Li Nuo went over and knocked on the counter.
Cairo old man: "(-_-) zzz...?"
"Are there any other good things?" Li Nuo added: "I mean, the stuff that kills people."
"Yes..."
The old man is not without goods, he only sells goods to qualified people.
It took off its head and put it on the table, fumbling to take out a revolver and a box of 9mm bullets from its mouth.
Li Nuo picked up the silver-white pistol, slapped the bullet into the cylinder, swung the pistol, and closed the cylinder with a snap.
"How much?"
"No money."
"Are there any other ones? For example, fuel-air explosive bombs."
"No more."
"Besides fuel-air explosive bombs?"
"No more."
"Thank you."
Li Nuo pointed the gun at the ground.
Bang!
The bullet penetrated the 5cm steel plate floor, rubbed the sparks, and pierced the dormant vampire below.
How could a demon hunter not feel the danger around him? In his eyes, "demons" were a group of fresh food, and the smell made people excited.
The old man put the head on, watched Li Nuo running downstairs like chasing a girl, and shook his head.
"Young people nowadays...(.-ω-)zzz"
When it fell asleep, Li Nuo had already come to the lower floor, and there were bloodstains on the floor.
Looking over, the vampire hid behind the trash can. One of the guys who escaped just now died here. He also stood up, his teeth became sharp, and his body began to twist uncontrollably, blocking Li Nuo one after another with the guy who "killed" him.
"As long as the damage is not fatal, can the virus be spread during the blood-sucking process?"
As Li Nuo pondered, the kitchen knife in his hand began to smoke.
Suddenly, the ground below shook slightly.
Boom!
The floor suddenly collapsed, and a big hand came up.
In the smoke and dust, Li Nuo grabbed the falling steel bars, caught the sleeping old man Cairo, and jumped to the ground.
The vampires fell to the ground and were smashed into meat paste by steel bars.
The unfinished tower was still solid, just shaking a little, but did not collapse.
Li Nuo put the old man down and looked up to see the culprit who caused the destruction.
"Long time no see, it's so exciting to come up."
Johannessen crushed the head of the vampire in his hand, and his swollen muscles gradually converged. He held his gentleman's hat and smiled at Li Nuo.
"Brother, I didn't expect it to be you."
Li Nuo raised his chin and gripped the handle of the knife.
Johannesson, one of the players who cooperated with "Eternal Train", also briefly "cooperated" as a competitor in Cairo Racing. He was a good person who traveled among various teams. Li Nuo was deeply impressed by him. This guy always He likes to stand in the crowd and play pyramid schemes. According to Marger's knowledge, this guy is doing "arms dealer" business among players inside the "Endless Corridor".
"I was almost hit by your punch just now."
Li Nuo pulled back the soles of his shoes, getting ready for a fight. No matter what, there was nothing wrong with giving him a beating when they met.
Johannessen jumped down and kneeled down to Li Nuo.
"Don't do it, it's a misunderstanding."
The wind blew.
Ten minutes later.
"Brother, how about you give me some face and let me stand up?"
"..."
"Brother...what are you enjoying?"
"..."
"Does it feel so good to be kneeled down by someone?"
Li Nuo finally spoke.
"It feels so good...can you continue for another five minutes?"
"You, please spare me."
Johannesson got up, dusted off his trouser legs, then skipped useless steps and directly showed his panel.
[Border Prison Script: Solving the Root Cause of the Virus]
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face.
"Listen to my explanation."
…
One day ago, Johannesson received a commission from the Cairo Stars. Something unexpected happened during the process, and he came to this city and fell into this damn script.
In order to investigate, he and his team joined the "Cairo Police Department", but they underestimated the extent of the chaos in the city.
There are only two police officers in the police department, and the territory of various parts of the city is divided between interstellar hunters and small businesses. There are no files and records on vampires and viruses.
To solve the problem, Johannesson used a prop.
[The prophecy note] can give the questioner an answer.
"So what did you ask [Prophetic Note] about?"
Li Nuo looked away from the note.
"The answer that can solve this incident." Johannesson said: "This note will only give a vague answer. I have been waiting since I came here, but I didn't see any answer until I noticed that a vampire appeared... I moved my hand and saw you."
"Hmm, so I'm the answer?"
"Otherwise? No. 1 in 'World War'."
Johannesson had seen the demon hunter who single-handedly wiped out half of the high-level players on the Immortal Train. He believed that the demon hunter was the nemesis of vampires and viruses.
What Li Nuo believes is, "I am a warrior of light."
Johannesson glanced at Li Nuo, indicating that this was not a suitable place for chatting. There was a group of desperadoes licking blood from their knives wandering nearby, talking as they walked.
Following Johanathan, the street was full of strange-looking people. The noise in the tower just now seemed to have no impact on them. Everyone was still busy with their own things.
"My teammates are waiting for us not far away. There is not much information, so I will tell you directly."
Johanathan is a shamelessly smart man who knows what to do when.
"Viruses are related to vampires, but vampires only emit breath when they mutate. Their life cycle is only one to three days, and they are afraid of sunlight."
Li Nuo glanced at the sky, which was gloomy.
"Any more?"
"There are at least hundreds of vampires in the city now. This is the investigation record of the Cairo Police Department two days ago. They are well hidden. The source of infection of the virus and the cause of the formation of vampires are not clear because the city lacks Manager, there is no proper order.”
Johannesson said this and laughed.
"It's strange, isn't it? I have another piece of information. Most of the people living here are ancestors who mined, but some are descendants of NPCs who escaped from certain worlds, such as the bald man who lives in a certain neighborhood. His ancestor is the famous 'immortal'."
"Does he have the 'Armor of Artreus'?"
Li Nuo still harbors resentment towards Croyd's equipment.
Johanathan shrugged and stepped out of the way of a kid trying to steal his wallet.
"Unfortunately, no, I have searched. Anyway, after several generations of crossbreeding, the power of those NPC ancestors has disappeared. However, due to genetic ties, the city is filled with some guys who look very cowardly but are actually very strong. At this time, the people of Cairo ignore death. Their physical strength came into play, and because of the 'justice' of the Cairo Police Department, the lawbreakers were temporarily suppressed, but after a large number of traders appeared, personal power became a joke. "
While he was talking, Li Nuo bought a drink from a roadside shop and also bought one for Johannesson.
"Thanks, I..."
Johanathan wanted to refuse, but he considered himself a gentleman and it would be inappropriate not to give others face.
So he took the dark poisonous drink and took a sip. His face instantly turned green, well, visually green. He quickly took out an antidote and drank it.
But Li Nuo drank it with gusto, and the demon hunter was not afraid of poison. Compared to decoction, the poisonous drink was like honey water.
"Are you a Cairo police officer now?"
"Just a supernumerary. Without talking about this, let me ask you, little brother, has your equipment also disappeared?"
Li Nuo said "hmm".
He had always thought that the disappearance of equipment and skills was a problem of the "Border Prison Script", but what Johannesson said next made Li Nuo stop in his tracks.
"It seems that we are all the same, but it's okay, just keep the skills."
Li Nuo's brows trembled slightly.
Johannessen saw that there was a problem, so he didn't say anything or ask, but he also understood in his heart that Li Nuo didn't even have the skills anymore.
"Understood."
Li Nuo put down the drink.
“There was someone in the script targeting me.”
Johannesson looked at him without saying a word and could already guess that the matter was more troublesome than he thought.
"Brother John, please help me with something."
Li Nuo held the straw in his mouth and said with a particularly harmless expression:
"Help me look for something like a 'cloud bomb' that can flatten the entire city."
"Brother...you are a bit extreme."
Johannessen was ashamed. There was a missile interceptor catcher over the city. That thing had chased them when they were racing in Cairo. Weapons of mass destruction might not be very effective against this city.
Li Nuo explained: "No, I'm just unhappy."
He threw the drink into the clean trash can and waved his hand.
"If you don't help, I will find it myself."
Johanathan hurried to stop him.
"I know a lot about how to restore equipment."
Li Nuo paused and turned around, his face expressionless and his eyes filled with deep holes.
"explain."
"Vampires have leaders. Although there is no way to lock the traces, killing them can..."
Before Johannesson finished speaking, he saw Li Nuo take out the withered vampire head from the black plastic bag he was carrying.
There he was on the street, holding the vampire's hair against his nose without any scruples.
Breathe in.
Exhale.
Close your eyes.
Feel the breath.
Open your eyes.
Silver eyes looked at the cloudy sky.
Lines of light red blood mist appeared in front of his eyes like a network.
…
within the space.
Faced with the results of the divination, Yake was also quite surprised.
He said: "It's difficult to handle."
For Li Nuo, how difficult is a "five-star" difficulty script?
"If a normal person had gone there, he would have died."
"Huh, who says it's not?"
Marger exchanged cigarettes with him.
These two guys, who had a little feud, were smoking melancholy.
There is no conflict between men that cannot be resolved with a cigarette. If it cannot be resolved, go to the bathing center together.
Marger: "Does Sauron have any special props that can directly solve the problem?"
Yake shrugged helplessly: "He hid the most precious things. Zeref and I can only find some things that can be used at any time."
Cha Bai asked: "Is there any way to help me advance my race quickly?"
Yak thought for a while, and in order to prevent Sauron's alliance from getting into trouble, he, the vice-captain, made a decision that would cause Sauron's glasses to explode.
"Indeed there are."
Fifteen minutes later, Chabai and Marjie returned to their own yard.
"Marjie, go and do your work, I will take care of the rest."
Cha Bai held a [Scholar's Glasses] in his hand and walked towards the bookstore.
The glasses can increase learning gains, in other words, help Chabai quickly advance to [Elf Race] to level 7. As long as she can go to the race branch option like Li Nuo and complete the strength upgrade, she will try to open a more effective [Portal] , use it together with the [Fetching Leather Bag], maybe you can bring Li Nuo back directly.
Marjie watched Chabai close the study room, then turned and went upstairs to his studio.
"The idea is good, but its implementation depends on luck... By the way, Miss Chabai can turn on [Focuser] when she is promoted and use the luck characteristic to achieve the results she wants."
He didn't know if Cha Bai was a bug or if she was just being witty.
In short, no matter how it develops, Marjie, as the captain, must pack up all the equipment and props for the expedition.
He walked into the studio.
Turn on the light switch.
Scanning infrared rays appear on the wall.
【Verifying identity】
【Great handsome comparison! Verification passed! 】
"snort."
Marger is just so boring.
"Um?"
He noticed that there was an extra black box in the storage box in the studio.
As a doctor, I have the habit of keeping the house tidy, so I knew instantly that the black box had never appeared.
Marjie got himself a cup of coffee and summoned the mechanical life form to come out.
"Open that box."
Because I was worried that it was Pandora's box, I asked the little robot to open it.
When the box was opened, nothing happened.
Marjie walked over and was stunned.
"this……"
The box is full of Li Nuo's equipment.
