Chapter 327 You Can Try (4k)

At the same time, the campus broadcast sounded.

[The first round of the chase ended, and the second round of the chase officially began. Players have half an hour to find a suitable hiding place. ]

In the sky, the countdown started again from the moment the broadcast sounded.

06:59:55

The players looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds for a while.

"Should we hide separately or gather together to hide?" The man with glasses subconsciously looked at Zhao Xun and asked, "Or, we don't hide, just gather here and wait for the two NPCs to appear?"

"It's all right." Zhao Xun said indifferently, "You make your own decision."

The man with glasses: "..."

He never thought that Zhao Xun didn't want to take care of things.

All of them, the players, have already regarded Zhao Xun as the backbone, but Zhao Xun... seems to not care about their life and death at all.

Although he knew that Zhao Xun had no obligation to take care of anything, and he did express before that he would not specifically protect all the players, he didn't think that Zhao Xun would not even take an idea.

Compared to the stunned look of the man with glasses, the hip-hop man has learned to take advantage of the situation.

The hip-hop man said with a smile: "Whether we hide or not, let's act together!"

According to his experience, since Zhao Xun said "it's all right", he can boldly propose the result he wants.

At worst, he can change it if he is rejected.

After saying that, the hip-hop man glanced at Zhao Xun, and seeing that Zhao Xun looked calm, without any disgust or rejection, he immediately asked others: "Do you think it's better to hide, or to stand in an open space directly?"

Other players also saw the purpose of the hip-hop man, and at the same time understood that Zhao Xun would not prohibit them from acting with him.

So everyone decided to vote by raising their hands.

In the end, the number of people who chose not to hide prevailed, and everyone decided to stand on the playground together.

There is no way to hide near such an open place as the playground.

No matter what the NPC is capable of, no matter how they want to sneak attack, as long as they get close to them, they will be easily discovered.

Zhao Xun did not express any opinion on this, and he walked towards the playground with other players.

After standing still in the middle of the playground, Zhao Xun said, "They may act after dark. They are too conspicuous during the day and easy to hide at night."

"Each of us should keep an eye on one direction. Even at night, it is not easy to sneak attack." The man with glasses had already thought about this, and took this opportunity to say it out. "When the NPC is the chasing party hunting players, they need to hunt in the order of the number plates. We put number one in the middle, and the other ten people form a circle around number one. The ten people on the periphery are responsible for keeping an eye on their front."

After a pause, he thought of something he had missed, and added, "Number one can be responsible for keeping an eye on the sky."

"I agree, I agree!" The monkey-faced man wanted to raise his hands and feet to express his agreement.

Surrounding him in the middle, he felt safe enough!

After all, he was number one and would be the first target of the NPCs.

Since the second round of the chase began, he was a little anxious.

Although there were only two NPCs left, he only had one life, and he was the first prey, so he could not be completely at ease.

But being protected by other players in the middle can increase the safety factor several times.

The other players also expressed their agreement.

They didn't really want to protect the monkey-faced man, but they were just thinking about themselves.

If the two NPCs were really powerful and could break through the defense and kill the monkey-faced man, it would mean that other players would also become the target of the NPC.

If they don't unite now, it would be a fantasy to expect others to protect themselves when they are defeated one by one.

Now they show unity first, and when it's their turn, others will lend a hand.

Everyone quickly surrounded No. 1 in the middle according to the arrangement of the glasses man.

Everyone stared at their front, and no one spoke for a while.

Not long after, the primates that Zhao Xun had released before ran over.

The players subconsciously looked at Zhao Xun.

"I let them come back." Zhao Xun said bluntly.

Now that the NPCs can move freely, he doesn't want his primates to be killed by the NPCs in such an unnecessary sacrifice.

On the way to the playground, he notified all the primates he could communicate with and asked them to find him on the playground.

For the ones that were farther away, he asked the primates who heard his notification to pass on the message.

The primates ran quickly towards Zhao Xun. Zhao Xun raised his right hand, touched the small millstones in his palm with them one by one, and put them back into the special items.

"This is really useful." The hip-hop man showed an envious look, "It's like having a lot of little brothers who can help me do a lot of things."

And you can bring it into every survival game, which means you will never be alone.

When you feel lonely, you can still have company.

He envied it so much.

Zhao Xun smiled and said nothing.

The other players didn't say anything, and for a while, everyone was very quiet.

After staring at their own front for a long time, their vision became a little blurry uncontrollably.

The hip-hop man rubbed his eyes to restore his vision.

But the man with the short ponytail couldn't bear the loneliness and spoke again: "The NPC may not know the order of our number plates. Should we hide our number plates?"

From the official start of the second phase, the number plates assigned to players are automatically attached to the backs of their jackets and cannot be torn off.

But if you take off your coat, or put another coat on top of your coat, wouldn't it be able to block the number plate?

If the NPC does not know the player corresponding to the number plate in advance and cannot see the number plate on the player, then it will be more difficult for them to attack.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was a genius, and he suddenly felt proud.

The proud mood inspired him to come up with a more genius idea: "Or we can exchange the number plates to interfere with the NPC's judgment. Anyway, the number plates have been fixed after entering the second stage. Even if we exchange them now, it will not So change the order of being hunted.”

"This seems to be a good idea." The monkey-faced man nodded, "I think we can try it."

"You can try," Zhao Xun said at this time, "but I don't think it will succeed."

Judging from his experience in so many survival games, the possibility that players can take advantage of things clearly stated in the rules is very low.

However, he won't stop other players from trying.

After all, the possibility is low, not zero percent.

It’s okay to try.

The other players didn't understand what Zhao Xun meant, and several of them had vague dissatisfaction with Zhao Xun's cold water on their faces.

But no one dared to say anything directly to Zhao Xun.

They looked at each other and decisively tried the short ponytail man's suggestion.

The result was the same as Zhao Xun's speculation.

When you take off your coat or put on an extra coat, the number plate will automatically appear on the back of the outermost piece of clothing.

Exchanging jackets will automatically change the number plate.

Seeing this result, everyone was a little disappointed.

The most disappointed one is the man with short ponytail.

He was very happy at first that he could come up with such an awesome idea, but he didn't expect that his idea was too beautiful.

Sure enough, the game's loopholes are not so easy to exploit.

Although the players were all disappointed, the short ponytail man's ideas inspired them a little, and they also opened up their own imaginations.

After trying several methods to no avail, I finally stopped.

Probably because they were tired from all the hard work, no one spoke for a while. Everyone just stood at their stations and stared ahead.

The sky gradually turned from bright to dark, and several players couldn't help but yawn.

The woman in red bent down and beat her calf: "My legs are sore from standing all the time."

"Me too." The lame man also hit his good leg hard.

He is a cripple, with only one leg able to support the weight of his body. He is much more tired than others for the same standing time.

But standing is the best option. If an NPC appears, it will be more convenient to attack or escape.

If you are squatting or sitting on the ground, you will have to stand up. If you are slower by two or three seconds, it may be the difference between life and death.

Especially a cripple like him knows the importance of racing against time.

Therefore, even if it is uncomfortable to stand for a long time, he prefers to maintain this posture.

"More than four hours have passed, and no NPC has appeared," the monkey-faced man asked with hope. "Did they feel that the disparity in numbers was too great and gave up the attack?"

"We won't know until it gets completely dark." Zhao Xun said.

He had said before that the NPC might choose to sneak attack at night.

NPCs are indeed at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers. Even if they have some special sneak attack methods that can increase the success rate of hunting, there is no guarantee that they can kill all players in a short time.

This also means that the possibility of NPC being counter-killed by players is not low.

When the light is dim, the chance of winning a sneak attack will always be higher, and the success rate of escape will also be higher.

Hearing Zhao Xun's words, the light in the monkey-faced man's eyes dimmed a lot: "Well, I was too happy too soon."

He sighed, and his mood dropped.

He really hoped that the NPC would give up the idea of ​​attacking so that he could be safe.

When we enter the third round of the chase, we have to find two NPCs in seven hours. Even if we dig deep in the ground, we can still find them, right?

"Should we try to turn on the searchlights on the playground?" the man with glasses suggested, "I have been observing before and found that there are several searchlights at the four corners of the playground. If we can turn on all the lights, the brightness of the playground will It should make it impossible for NPCs trying to get close to hide."

Maybe the NPC won't dare to act.

"It's bad." Zhao Xun replied.

The man with glasses was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

"I've tried it." Zhao Xun said concisely.

When he followed the group of players back to the playground, he released the pygmy marmoset to check the searchlight situation.

Later, the pygmy marmoset came back with other primates, and he took it back into the special items, so other players didn't notice.

In fact, the searchlights themselves should not be broken, but the game settings prevent them from lighting up.

Perhaps it is to increase the difficulty of clearance for players and create opportunities for NPCs to sneak attacks.

Anyway, the pygmy tamarin tried all the searchlight switches, but to no avail.

The power supply was also checked, and there was no problem, but the lights just couldn't be turned on.

The man with glasses opened his mouth, he really wanted to ask Zhao Xun when he tried it.

After arriving at the playground, they were together the whole time and never separated.

Then he thought of Zhao Xun's monkeys and gorillas, and that Zhao Xun seemed to be able to communicate with those animals, and he understood what was going on.

The man with glasses sighed: "Well, it seems that we can only hope that the moonlight will be brighter tonight."

However, beautiful expectations are always easy to fall through.

As night fell, the dark sky made all the players feel uneasy.

Not only was there no moon tonight, there was not even a star.

There were thick dark clouds in the sky, and the whole world was wrapped in a huge darkness.

The air gradually became dull, and there was a tendency for rain.

"This is the worst situation." The man with glasses looked at Zhao Xun and suggested, "Why don't we move indoors?"

During the day, he felt safer in the playground.

But at night, with the playground unable to turn on the searchlight, no moon or stars in the sky, and the rain approaching, he felt that it would be safer to stay indoors where the lights could be turned on and where the rain could be avoided.

The environmental conditions had changed significantly, and the choice should also change accordingly.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with his proposal.

"No, no!" The monkey-faced man suddenly became anxious. "If the NPC can control objects, the tables and chairs in the room may become their weapons. If they suddenly attack, I may not be able to dodge at such a close distance."

"Eleven NPCs should have different abilities," the glasses man analyzed. "It is unlikely that other NPCs have the same ability as the math teacher."

"The math teacher rolled up all the tables and chairs by creating a tornado." The monkey-faced man thought quickly about the issue of his life and death. "This is not a real ability to control objects, so you can't rule out the possibility that the remaining two NPCs have the ability to control objects."

"We can move all the tables and chairs in the classroom." The hip-hop man spoke up. "Clear one of the classrooms, and you don't have to worry about being attacked by close-range objects."

The monkey-faced man was stunned for a moment, and his opposition attitude was not as fierce as before.

"I think it's feasible," the red-clothed woman also echoed. "You can avoid the rain indoors and turn on the lights. As long as you clear the classroom and close the doors and windows, it will be safe. If the NPC gets close, it will be easy to be discovered."

The monkey-faced man's expression gradually relaxed a little.

"Have you ever considered that NPCs have other abilities?" The seldom-talking Gou Niutou spoke carefully, "What if we are in a closed environment and the NPCs can drain the air inside and suffocate us to death?" (End of this chapter)
