Chapter 184 Establishing Trade Cooperation with Lucifer

Hero?

It seems that the manor is in a bad situation now. Qin Ze started to move towards the manor.

A large amount of food created a burden, which caused Qin Ze's agility and speed attributes to decrease a lot.

The backpack is theoretically unlimited, but there will be a weight limit.

The higher the strength attribute, the higher the weight.

It is not like in reality that items cannot be carried if they exceed the capacity of the backpack.

The manor is in Jinlong Mountain, and Qin Ze is familiar with that direction.

The sky gradually darkened.

Apparently in the game, monsters will be more excited at night.

It is slightly different in a certain plane. In that plane, the monsters have ignored the restriction of being overly excited at night and are madly moving towards the skyscraper.

Qin Ze is fine at the moment. He is sure that as long as he does not trigger additional events, he should be able to rush back to the manor before dark.

His luck attribute is very high. Killing Cheng Yaojin not only increased his level, but also dropped a C-level equipment-axe.

Although it is a C-level equipment, it has an entry that Qin Ze finds very interesting - each attack will increase the next damage by 6%, lasting for four seconds, which can be stacked, and the stacking will refresh the duration.

This attribute surprised Qin Ze, C-level equipment has such a powerful entry.

Then what are the attributes of his infinite sword, mask, and even the black mask disguised as a ring on his hand?

Qin Ze thought about these things and soon arrived at the manor.

He had a smooth journey and did not encounter any monsters.

Sunlight will not harm monsters, but the game setting seems to be that sunlight will affect the monster's desire to attack.

This setting can be regarded as giving weak humans a chance to breathe.

Jinlong Mountain is no longer recognized by Qin Ze.

This once wealthy villa area is now full of desolate and dilapidated meanings.

The monster's blood dried up and left a dark red mark, and the fangs and bones were scattered all over Jinlong Mountain.

Qin Ze noticed that it had been moved.

The positions of these fangs and bones were placed in conspicuous positions, blocking several observation points.

The perception of monsters becomes more sensitive at night, mainly relying on the sense of smell.

To block perception, you have to interfere with the sense of smell.

The people in the manor are very smart, using a large number of monsters and human corpses from other ruins as cover.

The smell emitted by these corpses is actually a smell that monsters are not interested in.

They like fresh flesh and blood.

And this smell of corpses makes monsters feel that this is not a place for humans to live.

Qin Ze feels that it is very difficult to figure out these rules.

How many people will be sacrificed?

But for now, he can only regard it as a game setting.

During the day, the scope of human activities is slightly larger, and they move carefully in the range covered by countless corpses and broken buildings.

Some technical personnel built a signal station and constructed an electric power system. This also enables humans to have basic technological support-communication.

At night, humans have to live in the basement, and everyone communicates, basically through text communication, relying on weak candlelight.

Because they are afraid of some terrible consequences of using electricity at night, even if the sound of the generator has been eliminated as much as possible, even if many things in the game are just props. It won't be as big as in reality.

But everyone here is still cautious.

This is the end of the world.

The end of the world ruled by monsters. Once monsters are attracted, humans will die.

Humans are not cockroaches or insects. Insects can survive for hundreds of thousands of years. They can be crushed by one foot, but they have already bred thousands of eggs...

When the end of the world comes, humans are a species that may really become extinct.

Qin Ze arrived at the manor, not because he had any memory, but because there was a "golden exclamation mark" in the manor.

This symbolizes the main task.

There are about 30 people in the manor, and everyone has a fixed range of activities.

The leader is a woman who looks beautiful and refined, but her eyebrows are a bit cold and arrogant.

Every survivor here was found by the woman one by one.

It can be said that she is the earliest founder of this team.

Qin Ze met the woman in the hall of a manor.

No one knows the woman's name, everyone calls her-Boss.

The boss is a well-proportioned, tall woman wearing a dark tactical suit.

Even so, you can still see her curvy figure.

The boss has long black hair, usually tied into a neat ponytail. It feels a bit like Laura in Tomb Raider.

The boss has clear facial features and slightly upturned eyes, giving people a faint sense of pressure.

Qin Ze was not surprised. He had felt before that the woman in charge of the base was the leader of the entire team.

Because of the small scale, there is no need to set up a separate communication base, and the communication base is often the place where everything is connected and where orders need to be issued.

Therefore, in a small-scale survivor team, the one who can hold such power is often the leader.

"Boss, I'm back. I brought back a lot of things."

Qin Ze followed the game plot. Although there is no dialogue option, he himself knows how to trigger the subsequent dialogue.

The boss said:

"Others are back too, and everyone's gains combined are not as much as you, Li Qingzhao, you did a great job!"

"You should have encountered a monster in the skyscraper, right? But the monster is not very strong?"

Qin Ze looked at the boss's calm reaction when he encountered a monster... He was sure that the humans here were not simple either.

Although they were afraid of monsters, they had certain abilities to fight low-level monsters.

Qin Ze nodded and said:

"What about the others?"

He basically ruled out the suspicion of the female boss.

If it was the boss, there were many ways to kill him, and there was no need to plot against him.

The reason why Qin Ze thought about this question was that before talking to the boss, he had triggered the "golden exclamation mark".

He got a main task-find the traitor and get the boss's appreciation.

Qin Ze was not sure whether there was a correlation between finding the traitor and getting the boss's appreciation.

But even if the two things were done separately, it would not be a problem.

The boss said:

"Let's go, I'll take you to see them."

The boss led Qin Ze to the basement.

Although it was not completely dark yet, people who were used to being cautious would go into the basement in advance.

The so-called basement is actually a garage.

The underground garages in this villa area are all independent. After opening a few doors, the terrain becomes open.

Qin Ze didn't expect to see something as old as an oil lamp here.

Under the oil lamps that looked like ghost lights, Qin Ze could barely see the faces of these people.

In short, there were a total of 35 survivors, and there were originally more than 60 people.

But in the process of survival... more and more people died.

Among them were four cadres.

Excluding the boss, there were still four people, and "Li Qingzhao" was not a cadre.

She was a new recruit of the boss, but because of her excellent performance, she was already in the probation period.

The human nature of the doomsday was sinister.

There might be something more dangerous than a monster. The boss knew that he couldn't deal with everyone...

So she had to divide these people.

Therefore, she set up five cadres.

One of the five cadres died outside not long ago, and now there are four left.

They are Gao Kuan, who has a burly appearance and was once in prison. Gao Kuan's appearance is like you walking on the bar street in Moscow, and then accidentally walked into a gay bar, and went in to see the kind of fierce 0 with a face full of flesh, chest hair, and beard.

The second cadre is a man with glasses, Wen An, who looks gentle and hoards supplies in advance by observation, as if he has a premonition of the end of the world. He is very stingy, very calculating, and has a shrill voice, like a woman. When pushing his glasses, he even raises his orchid finger. But he is indeed a straight man.

The third cadre is a man with a cold face. It is said that he has a certain relationship with the boss. He is also the first to follow the boss and the most loyal person under the boss. He gives people a very gloomy and indifferent feeling.

No one knows his name, everyone calls him the second brother.

The last one is a woman, forty years old, but not a beauty. She is big and strong, very generous, and has a good relationship with every man here. She is best at drinking and is responsible for distributing supplies. Her name is Mao Ling.

Gao Kuan, who is generally dangerous as a prisoner, Wen An, who is shrewd and calculating, the gloomy and sophisticated second brother, and the bold Mao Ling...

What Qin Ze has to do now is to find out who is the traitor among these four people.

After finding the traitor and getting the approval of the "boss", he can get further information.

Now, Qin Ze has a certain say, and he brought back a lot of supplies.

These supplies are enough to alleviate the survival crisis of the doomsday team.

Although they can't hold on for too long, in the doomsday, they can live one day at a time.

After Qin Ze brought back the supplies, everyone smiled at Qin Ze.

Mao Ling, who was responsible for distributing supplies, laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and told Qin Ze dirty jokes.

The glasses man, with his lenses flashing, didn't know what he was thinking specifically, but he still thanked Qin Ze and reminisced about his past.

In the past, he also relied on his keen intuition to build a safe house, which stored a lot of supplies.

Later, he was found by the boss and faced two choices-

Either contribute the supplies and join everyone to survive, or kill him and take away his supplies...

Wen An chose the former.

Gao Kuan just patted Qin Ze on the back, and the second brother smiled at Qin Ze and made an appreciation gesture.

From these exchanges, Qin Ze already had a suspect. But it was just a guess, Qin Ze still had a smile on his face, smiling.

Night fell quickly.

Qin Ze didn't ask anything, he was just observing.

"Normally, I should have died in the building, but unfortunately, I don't have all the memories of the original owner. At least I don't know who asked me to go to the skyscraper."

"And these people all reacted normally, and they are all good actors. They are worthy of being a group of people who can survive the doomsday."

Qin Ze didn't know how to find the person who wanted to harm him.

Although this person may not be important at all, this is the plot of the game, and Qin Ze is not interested in breaking the plot arrangement now.

He wants to see what will happen if he follows the plot.

Unable to find the answer for the time being, Qin Ze had to choose to accept some side quests.

Side quests are very simple. Compared with finding supplies in the skyscraper and finding the betrayer in the team, side quests have little sense of existence.

The tasks with blue exclamation marks are similar to trivial things like helping someone find a lost lighter or boiling a bucket of hot water for someone.

But it also gives Qin Ze some experience points.

It can also increase the favorability of some NPCs.

Favorability is very necessary because it can unlock a lot of past history.

Qin Ze came here, on the one hand, to improve his title, and on the other hand, because Gao Jingzhi said that there is historical information of the origin level that is earlier than the calendar.

At the same time, he wanted to know why Qiao Wei wanted him to come here.

Qin Ze thought that he would most likely unlock through favorability, collect various information, and finally infer who the betrayer is.

Many games are designed in this way, interacting with some NPCs, and then constantly collecting evidence...

Qin Ze also thought that he would promote the game in this way...

But soon, he found a purple exclamation mark somewhere in the underground garage.

It has been several hours since the last purple exclamation mark. Qin Ze guessed that perhaps "Experimental Subject No. 144" has received his message.

Or someone else will send him a message.

So Qin Ze walked towards the location of the purple exclamation mark.

Time in his personal game plane suddenly stopped flowing.

In the next ten minutes, Qin Ze will be able to communicate with other players.

It's just that no one else came to Qin Ze to communicate.

A few people did send messages, but they were all questions like who are you and where are we.

Qin Ze was a little disappointed, but his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although no one else sent him a message, the "experimental subject 144" he replied to before returned the gift!

Qin Ze didn't expect that someone would actually reciprocate.

Before, he sent a newspaper to experimental subject 144, but it was just an experiment.

Test whether props can be sent, whether two copies of the same prop can be sent, etc.

But this experimental subject 144 returned the gift seriously.

"Thank you very much for the newspaper you provided. I have been thinking about the formation of this environment. After reading the newspaper, I seem to have some clues."

"But I am very sorry that I can't give you the same valuable clues. I am currently trapped in an experimental base. But I secretly left some things."

"They often use these things on me. Although they have no effect on me, my intelligence attribute is relatively high, and some additional things on me can offset the effect, so I am immune and drink it as water, but maybe you can use it on others."

"Oh, my code name is Lucifer. Li Qingzhao, are you affected by resentment?"

At this time, "Lucifer" is still in the experimental base. This message was left by Lucifer two hours ago.

Qin Ze replied now, and Lucifer couldn't see it. But it is certain that the two have established contact.

The things in the email are exactly what Qin Ze needs.

Qin Ze was amazed:

"Is this the effect of a luck value of 10? You get what you want?"

"But the other party's script is about the experimental subjects in the experimental base, so it's normal to have such a thing... But this guy is really strong, drinking this thing as water? What kind of monster?"

Qin Ze extracted the attachment in the email and saw the prompt--

Get truth serum x4.

(Seeing that some readers are urging, I'll update the recent situation again. Last night, the sir invited her bestie to have dinner together. It feels like a military advisor type role has been unlocked. I guess my chat records and various behaviors with her have entered the bestie chat group and are being continuously studied and discussed. But am I afraid? I have thousands of military advisor readers, so why would I be afraid?)
