My players are so fierce

Chapter 49 49. You’re done. Let me tell you, Murphy has a very small mind.
The noisy rescue operation continued until the first rays of dawn fell.

The good news is that because Cadman City is shrouded in chaotic astral energy, sunlight cannot penetrate, so orthodox vampires like the eldest lady can still move freely, and the rescue last night was very successful!
Three consecutive searches brought the number of people they rescued to a staggering 409, doubling the number of people in the survivor camp.

The bad news is that the easy phase is over.

The next areas are all areas that are intensely shrouded by astral shadows. They are called "monster wild areas" by Murphy's young players. The density of the astral shadows entrenched there can already extinguish torches, so he wants to let ordinary people use them. Entry at scale is simply impossible.

The worse news is that according to the eldest lady's in-depth investigation, she can determine that there are at least 200 life auras just outside the heavily shadowed area.

In other words, there are at least 200 people there waiting for outside rescue.

So, a choice was placed before Murphy.

"It's enough to save so many people."

Miriam, who had not slept all night, was yawning profusely. She whispered to Murphy who was looking at the map:

"I just talked to a few appointed militia captains. The survivors are very grateful for your rescue. They saw those dangerous astral beasts and shadow derivatives with their own eyes last night.

It would be dangerous to go deeper into the city, and some people reported seeing many people escaping into the maze-like sewers. It is impossible to launch a large-scale rescue in this situation.

So, they can understand the choices you would make.

A nun even told me to tell you, don’t be too hard on yourself. "

"Where's morale?"

Murphy asked, Miriam nodded vigorously and said:

“It’s so high that it’s beyond my expectation!

I thought such an action would make them more frightened, but it turned out that rescuing more compatriots not only did not make them uneasy, but instilled courage in them and stabilized everyone's mentality.

Some young people even volunteered to join the search and rescue team. They are people who still have family members in the city and are unwilling to give up. "

"This proves that our actions are correct, Miriam. The initial collective identity has been shaped. It would be a pity to give up now."

Murphy glanced at the three markers on the map.

Those were the locations of the three family warehouses he had heard about from Tris before, and they happened to overlap with areas that had not yet been searched and rescued. This gave Murphy an idea immediately.

He said to Miriam:

"You asked your several militia captains to select the people with the strongest will to fight, organize them and hand them over to Maxim, and formally establish the 'Cadman Self-Rescue Army'.

Don't worry, I won't let them die.

I plan to burn the areas where the search and rescue have been completed to completely eliminate the remnants of the astral shadow. I need them to establish defense lines outside these areas to cope with the next assault by my warriors.

Those surrounded by monsters are still alive!

We are going to try to save them one last time.

You need to explain the purpose and process of this operation to those people and make sure they understand their responsibilities.

If they withdraw before my warriors do, they will be executed as deserters!There is no room for discussion on this point. "

He glanced at the scarlet musket on Miriam's waist.

This thing didn't fire last night, but it may not fire next time.

"I understand."

Miriam breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I know time is precious. I will be ready in two hours. I'm going to take a nap first."

"Well, let's go."

Murphy patted Miriam on the shoulder to encourage him, and then he called Maxim over.

This guy took the lead in last night's operation. His cheeks were covered with claw marks from the astral beasts, and there were scratches on his neck and both cheeks. His strength was good and he wore better armor and weapons. So it's not life-threatening.

"Mark, I need you to command the 'Cadman Self-Rescue Army' organized by Miriam and build a line of defense in front of the explored area."

The vampire drew a line on the map and said to the tired Maxim:
"You must hold out until my warriors' breakthrough into the 'monster jungle' is over, and place those they rescued on the defensive lines until the operation is over."

"Yes! My lord."

Maxim responded with a standard blood vulture salute, but then he frowned and said:
"I have no doubts about the will and courage of your warriors, but their strength is still a bit lacking, and there are only so many of them. Letting them go in there is basically equivalent to letting them die."

"The eldest lady, I, and Adele will act together with them."

Murphy waved his hands and said:

“My warriors will do big things in the future, and they must adapt to this fierce battle as soon as possible. I also want to see where their limits are.

Look, here they come! "

The vampire pointed at the broken shack, where Brother Meow Meow and the student gang had already climbed up.

They went online, and the game time for Lumina and the other five people happened to be almost over, and there was a shift change.

"Hey, sister Lumi, what are you doing? Where did these little mud monkeys come from?"

Brother Miao Miao walked over carelessly, carrying his halberd and rubbing his eyes. He happened to see an embarrassed Lumina playing with a group of children.

She was holding a dusty little girl in her arms.

The latter seemed to be frightened and hugged Lumina tightly without letting go.

Facing Brother Mew Miao's inquiry, Lumi raised her head with a very proud expression, stretched out her hand to stroke the children next to her, and said loudly:
"I rescued them all with my own hands last night. Amazing, right? There are 13 of them."

"666! Awesome! The heroine accepts my obeisance!"

The happy stick next to him immediately gave a thumbs up.

They already knew about last night's rescue operation in the group, and Brother Heisi wrote an emotional essay detailing how the brave Lumina got into the vent and rescued the two children. .

This greatly changed these old friends' impressions of this brave and powerful international student girl.

"Women don't give way to men, Sister Lumi."

"I'm convinced, I'm convinced, Cheche is convinced, no wonder getting a graduate degree is just like playing for fun. Sister Lumi, you will be Cheche's idol from now on!"

"Sister Lumi, please give me a hug!"

"Go away, you pervert!"

Ge Bao and his dormitory brothers came over and joked with Yang Hen.

We are all students, so it is easy to become friends if we are close in age.

Cuckoo Chicken and Meow Shark squatted down to say hello to the children, but the latter gathered around Lumina, looking at these "big uncles" in front of them with curiosity and fear.

Modern people have abundant nutrition, so that none of the players' game characters are lower than 165cm, especially Niu Niu's height of 194cm, which looks like a giant to these children.

Given the poor productivity and vampire-squeezing rule of the Transian region, malnutrition is the norm.

"Ah, my time is up, it's time to log off."

Lumina glanced regretfully at the fact that she only had 2 minutes left for today's game. She yawned, put the little girl in her arms on the ground, patted her head, and said:
"Call my sister!"

The latter looked at Yang Hen with a look of reluctance, and whispered in a strange accent:
"Jie Jie"

"Ha, be good, I'll come back to play with you tomorrow."

Lumi scraped the bridge of the little girl's nose, stood up and said to Brother Mingmiao:
"I'll leave them to you. Although they are NPCs, they are too smart. Don't do bad things, you guys."

"Don't worry." Although Brother Mingmiao is an older bachelor, he is not a heartless guy. Occasionally, he will participate in some charity activities when he is interested. In this way, he will see the vividness of these little mud monkey-like NPC children. With an expression on his face, he patted his chest and said:
"You can rest. We will take over the rest of the work. We, a group of big men, will not let you, a little girl, look down upon you."

Brother Heisi and Jie Chong were also tired at this moment, so they said hello to their boss and asked for leave today.

Brother Miao Miao was also happy and accurate.

It’s not that he is unqualified as a boss, he squeezed enough to pick out a beautiful street lamp for himself. The main reason is that the market has been sluggish recently and their software outsourcing studio has not received orders. They took this opportunity to let the brothers relax happily. That’s right, and for a small boss, it’s less expensive to let employees lie at home and play games than to go out for team building, right?

"Meow meow, the hidden mission we triggered cannot be shared."

Before he went offline, Mr. Dump Truck specifically warned Mingmiao and others:
“But in our experience, you have to dig into the details of the mission.

The development team of this game is very stupid and has hidden many clues. If you can find them, you will naturally get the hidden tasks.Although I don’t know what the reward is yet, I guess it will definitely be better than the normal mission. "

"Thanks for sharing, go and get some rest now. You've been up half the night."

Meow Meow and Dump Truck are friends in reality, and they speak very naturally, while the shovel next to him rubs his waist and complains:

"Speaking of which, why don't we add more people to the test team? What can we do with just this few people? If fifty brothers who were not afraid of death had gone out together last night, we would have been able to explore at least two more blocks."

"It would be better if there were fewer people."

Meow Meow squinted his eyes and said:
"Look at how good the game atmosphere is now. It would be really disgusting if there were a few idiots who behaved randomly. If nothing else, people who would just slash NPCs with a knife when they saw them would be the ones in this kind of game. Extremely unstable bomb.

And I guess there will definitely be some official action, so just wait patiently. "

A few minutes later, the 11 newly online players received three exploration missions from Murphy.

[Test Task·Exploring the Secret Vault 001
Mission description: This mission is part of the game test and is not included in the main mission, but you can still get rewards.

The mysterious Lady Tracey has shared with you the locations of the three secret warehouses of the Blood Vulture Clan outside Cadman City, but they are all located in densely populated areas, which have been overrun by astral beasts and fear derivatives after the disaster. occupied.

Murphy decided to launch a raid to recapture the resources of the secret vault and search for those who were still alive. This operation would be led by the last three Sons of the Blood Vulture, and the operation would be completed in three places at the same time.

Mission goal: Retake the cave [0/3] and rescue the trapped people

Mission reward: Blood Vulture Clan Recruit Armor [6/6]

hint!

This task needs to be carried out in groups. After the groups are assigned, please go to the three NPCs to start the action. 】

"I'll be in a group with Sanwudou and Laoqu, and you guys will give us some cows and cows."

Brother Ming Miao immediately discussed with the leader of the student party and said:
"We are following Mr. Murphy."

"Why?"

Pigeon Bao rolled his eyes and said:
"Who doesn't know that you plan to increase your favorability, and Niu Niu is the strongest combat force at this stage! No, unless we change! You follow the eldest lady, we follow Mr. Murphy, the powerful and cute Sanwu Don’t rich lolita smell delicious?”

"Fight ass!"

Ah Yu next to him couldn't help but complained:
"Except for Mrs. Adele, who is the new member of the three, the other two are important NPCs. This favorability level will have to be maxed out in the future. As for grabbing this moment?"

The short bionic snail next to him made a motion of pushing up his glasses, although his character did not have glasses.

Seeing Brother Miao Miao and Pigeon Bao choking on their anger, he couldn't help but suggest:
"How about we draw lots? The eleven people are divided into three groups. One group will definitely be short of people."

"You three follow me! The rest report to Femis!"

Just as they were noisily grouping together, Murphy directly designated the Meow Meow trio.

This made Brother Miao Miao secretly happy.

He felt that the favorability of the three of them must be high before Sir Murphy would take the initiative to choose.

But soon they had no time to be happy, because there were so many despair derivatives near Vault No. [-]!

Their number and density are almost five times that of the edge area. The rolling black smoke on top of the ruins with complex terrain is like a small-scale "monster siege" pouring out continuously.

However, the interference of these invisible gadgets to young players is no longer as serious as it was yesterday.

Their skill proficiency has generally reached proficiency and they have completed their first job transfer. With the support of professional talents and cooperation, they can often defeat many with one.

As for the dangerous astral beasts, not a single one was found from beginning to end.

Murphy speculated that this may be related to changes in day and night.

Although there is no sunlight in the city now, those astral creatures are still affected by the solar energy and are unlikely to leave their "nests" during the day.

In this case, the process of entering the secret vault was not as dangerous as Murphy imagined.

Of course, this kind of relief is for Murphy, who has triggered the Black Iron Trial.

For young players whose character levels are still between level 3 and 4, facing the despair derivatives coming from all directions puts them under great pressure from the beginning.

Brother Meow Meow roared and commanded his two Vajras to rush left and right while holding shields. He kept throwing out psychic shocks. It seemed that he was determined to take the path of a spell caster.

They held on very hard.

Like a taut spring, there is a risk of loosening at any time, but Murphy will only step forward to help them out when they can't hold on. It's not just for the fun of watching the players in embarrassment, but he must let them My own little player grew up quickly.

Before setting off, he also gave the same explanation to the eldest lady and Mrs. Adele, asking them to properly fulfill the basic ethics of being an NPC, to leave it alone if they can, and in short not to interfere too much with the actions of the little players.

"We have arrived at the location of the secret vault. I need to cast a spell to unlock this seal. This process cannot be disturbed!"

Murphy said to the three embarrassed little players with a serious face:

"So you must withstand the constant onslaught of despair tokens."

Dry!
Sure enough, this kind of escort mission is the most annoying category among all online game missions!Fortunately, Mr. Murphy is stable enough and won't run around screaming to attract monsters.
"I can't hold it, my lord."

Brother Miao Miao wiped the sweat from his face.

He found that he had underestimated the difficulty of the primary copy test of this game. With their current equipment and level, they were completely unable to cope with such a large-scale derivative attack.

"Snapped"

The three bags were thrown in front of them by Murphy, and the vampire said to the three little players:

"I have seen your performance just now. You are already qualified to become Blood Vulture recruits. I have brought you better armors. They will help you persist in this dangerous place longer.

When you can't hold on anymore, break out and Maxim and his 'Cadman Self-Rescue Army' will pick you up. "

The three young players immediately became energetic after hearing this. They opened the bag and were delighted when they saw the complete set of exquisite recruit armor inside.

The leather armor of their retinues has become tattered in constant battles. These better equipment with various weak strengthening entries can obviously effectively improve their combat effectiveness.

"Hold on! Warriors."

As Murphy walked into the secret library passage, he said to the three young players behind him:
"The longer you persist, the more supplies I can get from the secret vault, and the smoother our cause will be."

But what he was actually thinking was...
The stress test for players has officially begun!
Haven't you been clamoring for a copy?
Now, the copy is here, and this time I will make you vomit.

Besides, you three are the ones who have been making obscene comments about Tris and me and writing dirty stories on the forum, right?Although the story is very exciting and the writing is quite good, that is not the point!

Mr. Murphy is very vindictive!

So learn to enjoy the battle ahead, little ones.

Ps: Thanks for the tip from brother "Midsummer's Insolence"!The additional update is included in the explosive update, and we have already received the news that it will be available on September 9st.
