Chapter 418
418 A terrifying creature
today’s mission is extremely dangerous. You will die if you are not careful. So, I hope that when you arrive, you will not walk around or touch anything because it is novel.
Link’s ” warning ” made the hearts of the seven players on his left and right jump. Their Adam’s apple moved, and they couldn’t stop swallowing.
“The quagmire of death is located 50 kilometers North of Shandu. Its interior is basically a swamp and forest. Because it’s in the shape of a crater and suffered a nuclear strike, the creatures inside have mutated, forming an ecological Environment and Evolution trend that is completely different from the outside world.”
our mission this time is to enter the quagmire of death and find the remains of the underground military base in the quagmire. We will find a crystal material in it-Kaz crystal.
this is an important material for the future new energy source of Shandu. If we can find this material in the death quagmire, we can solve the energy problem of Shandu and change the form of war at the same time. After you’re done, I’ll give each of you a piece of new energy equipment as a reward.”
As link explained the mission details, the ambiguous mission on the seven of them finally became clear.
The mission name also changed from mysterious mission to [ death quagmire-strategic resource ]. The mission experience was based on survival and contribution, and the additional reward was a piece of new energy equipment.
Experience points were precious to link now. He wasn’t going to be a spendthrift.
He would first draw the pie for the players. The temptation of new energy and equipment could be seen from the green eyes of the seven players.
As for experience, it was dispensable compared to equipment.
Lin Ke knew exactly what the players were thinking, so he didn’t tell them how much exp he would be giving them.
When the mission was completed and he got the Kaz crystal, he would be the one to decide how many he would give out.
The Black Falcon Transport helicopter was very fast, and it quickly flew over the sky of Shandu.
The city’s magnificence and prosperity had left a deep impression in their hearts.
In the past, when he was running around in the city, he only felt that the sand City was crowded and big. He had never seen the city from this angle.
The seven players leaned against the door of the transport helicopter and stretched out their necks to look down. They sighed and took screenshots crazily.
After all, there weren’t many opportunities to see the city from this perspective. If he didn’t take a screenshot, how could it mean that he had really been here?
Soon, the helicopter flew over Shandu.
As they drove out of the sand City, the bustling scene suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a desolate desert. There were sporadic clusters of buildings in towns and villages on the Gobi Desert. and the further north they went, the more desolate the scene became.
There was only one road that ran through the entire Gobi Desert, leading to the flat and vast airport and Air Force Base not far away.
there’s an airport and an Air Force Base here? I didn’t know!
“We’re more than 20 kilometers away from shadu. Who would come here for no reason?”
moreover, there are all kinds of guards in the high-voltage grid at the entrance. I’m afraid we’ll be arrested and interrogated if we come.
As the players did not have sound-proof headphones, they could only shout at each other, and it looked difficult and awkward to speak.
After crossing the long Gobi Desert and forest, a huge crater emitting dark green miasma appeared in front of everyone.
From above, it looked like a round bowl with some dark green, churning, and nauseating substance soaked in it. Just looking down from above made people feel a sense of resistance.
The Black Falcon Transport helicopter slowly descended and landed on an open space outside the edge of the death quagmire.
Soon, the second Black Falcon Transport helicopter behind them also slowly landed.
Ah Fu, macaw, King Kong, skeleton wolf, and the three Treasures security got off the helicopter one after another.
seeing the pets that had appeared on the forum, panamela was dazzled and didn’t know which one to detect first.
“Everyone, we meet again.” When John jumped out of the helicopter in his black agent uniform, all the players present were stunned.
Wind-chasing Wolf, Leng Feng, Bomb Chicken, and Tang Jiu, who were lucky enough to carry out the mission with John last time, were all trembling with excitement as if they had been electrocuted. It was as if he had seen his idol. He wanted to shout out in excitement, but the valve in his throat seemed to be locked, and he couldn’t shout out. The excitement was suppressed in his body, causing his whole body to tremble.
As for Cha Sha and panamela, who were seeing John for the first time, their minds went blank.
When the Scout was thrown, no attributes could be seen.
Just by looking at the orange words [ legendary ], it made people feel an indescribable excitement.
The legendary level was the strongest person you could see on the novice planet, and now he was standing in front of you.
Panamela had heard that link had a good relationship with the number one assassin on wasteland planet, the painter. However, hearing it on the forum and seeing it with her own eyes were two different things.
He didn’t expect to see a super big Shot NPC from wasteland planet on his first hidden mission after coming to Shandu for half a month.
Panamela calculated. With link and John’s relationship, there must be more to this story. Perhaps the plan to shift the focus of his discussion with the Guild leader, heaven of resentment, had to be put on the agenda.
The miracle Guild, the myth Guild, the friendship Guild, and the northern desert Wolf were all in the top ten guilds. They followed link on missions every day. They also had a convenient military intelligence Department and abundant resources in Shenmu City. Unlike Dragon City, which had a large territory, the things they bought were almost as big as Hua Mulan. They bought xx in East City, XX in West City, XX in South City, and XX in North City. 80% of the time would be wasted on a mission, the last 10% would be spent on killing monsters, and the remaining 10% would be used to collect rewards.
On the other hand, in Shenmu City, all the things that the mutants needed could be bought with just a few steps, saving a lot of time.
they could go directly to the military intelligence department after accepting the mission. after completing the mission, they could go back and hand in the mission. there were all kinds of convenient means of transportation and points to be earned. With more points, he could exchange them for materials and equipment. With such a concentrated mission method and a concentrated shopping environment, the players in Shandu would definitely do more missions and have higher levels for the same game time.
After seeing the superiority of the sand City, panamela even exclaimed, ” It wasn’t that the Dragon City players didn’t give it their all, but the planning of Sand City was too awesome!
the mission this time is very dangerous, ” link explained. it’s not as dangerous as the one in the floating mech city, but the monsters in the swamp of death come in groups and have all kinds of strange abilities. That’s why I asked John to come with us.
Link then said to the pilot, ” ” the creatures in the death quagmire may also attack the creatures along the way, so after we go in later, you guys drive the helicopter to a distant place and wait. when we come out, we will release a signal bomb, and you guys can come and pick us up. ”
The two Air Force soldiers saluted and obeyed.
Link looked at the crater behind him and ordered, ” now, everyone, put on your gas masks and get ready to enter the death quagmire.
everyone put on gas masks. only the skeleton wolves, king kong, and the three treasures of the security guards, who did not need to breathe in the lungs or had mutated physiological structures, did not have to worry about the harm caused by the miasma in the death quagmire.
Link waved his finger, and the Black Widow, hallucinatory vines, and invisible killer bees swarmed out of the three black boxes. They scurried into the death swamp as Scouts.
Under link and John’s lead, the players and pets entered the quagmire of death through the crack.
Under the dual effects of the meteorites and the nuclear explosion, the ground at the edge of the death quagmire was lifted up by a huge shock wave, and a towering mountain wall that was 100 meters high rose up, separating the entire death quagmire from the outside world.
Under the erosion of time and the change of tectonic activities, the edge of the quagmire of death opened up some cracks, and miasma poured into the cracks, which suddenly stopped at the junction.
the group entered the quagmire of death through the crack, and the visibility in front of them suddenly decreased. the air was filled with dark green fog, and with gas masks, they could only see their companions in front and behind them. any further and they could only see a vague outline of the figure.
At the same time, link and the other players received the same notification from the system.
[ you have entered the [ quagmire of death ] area. This place is extremely dangerous. Pay attention to safety! ]
[ discovered miasma, you are about to lose health points continuously ]
[ it has been detected that you are wearing a military-grade gas mask. the miasma is ineffective against you. ]
Richard was still a distance away from the failure of the military-grade gas mask: 3 hours 29 minutes 59 seconds
The players saw that the gas masks still had an effective period and immediately became nervous. They all looked at link.
The effective period was three and a half hours. Once it was over, wouldn’t they be poisoned to death by the miasma?
At that moment, link suddenly said, ” “Don’t worry, I have enough gas masks.”
The players who were walking together looked at each other in shock. They hadn’t even said anything, but link knew what they were thinking. This terrifying ability was truly shocking.
However, the players were finally relieved when they learned that they had enough gas masks.
The macaw walked behind, filming and dubbing.
look at this place, it’s dark and terrifying, filled with dark green miasma. Look at this wall, the moss on it is wriggling like insect eggs. It’s so disgusting!
The players were also attracted by the macaw’s words and looked closer at the crack’s Mountain wall. The wet mountain wall was covered with a layer of dense moss. Although it was called moss, its shape looked like green Eggs that were arranged in a regular pattern. They squirmed in their respective positions and secreted a transparent mucus.
Gousheng King boldly reached out and touched it.
The moment the gloves touched the transparent mucus, green moss suddenly sprang up and stuck to the gloves tightly. At the same time, black smoke rose from the deerskin gloves.
John suddenly appeared in front of gousheng King, took off his gloves, and threw them on the ground.
with a burst of black smoke, it was completely charred.
“If you don’t want to die a horrible death, I suggest you don’t touch anything here out of curiosity.”
The players were scared out of their wits, and leftover King nodded like a little chick pecking at rice. He didn’t expect that just touching the wall would have such an effect.
The thrilling interlude made the players realize that the macaw’s words were true. The death quagmire was indeed an extremely terrifying place. It was too terrifying that the moss on the mountain wall could directly corrode the deerskin gloves without even looking at them. It was hard to imagine what kind of monsters they would encounter after entering the quagmire of death.
The crack was not long. After walking for about 300 to 400 meters, there were no more mountain walls in the way, and the view suddenly opened up.
However, after this opening, only the gray Mountain wall was replaced by a grayish-green miasma, and things could only be seen within a 50-meter range. Further away, it was a single color, and the outline of the distance could be vaguely seen in the miasma.
There were a few large trees scattered around.
Each of them had a diameter of more than one meter, and they drooped down from the tree like the soft branches of a Banyan Tree. Their surface was also covered with a layer of grayish-green like the miasma. the short bushes grew listlessly near the big trees, and they were basically single trees, no taller than 30 to 40 centimeters. the only difference was that their leaves were extremely wide, radiating in all directions, and each leaf was more than half a meter long.
The ground under his feet was different from the hard stone ground in the crack. the ground in the death quagmire seemed to have shock absorption when stepped on. it was unusually soft and looked like a swamp. Every step he took on the dark grey soil left a mark on the sole of his shoe. However, after he left, the mark slowly disappeared, like cotton.
Occasionally, there were weeds and roots on the ground that were half-buried in the grayish-black soil, making it difficult to distinguish.
There were also some dilapidated houses and sculptures, but they were all covered in gray-green moss, so he could only see the general appearance, which proved that people had lived here before.
“Fu, distribute the equipment.” Link stood at the front, and Fu quickly ran over. He took out a spare gas mask and two radars from his bag.
the seven of you, split into groups of three or four. The radar will record your location. If you find an entrance similar to the underground military base or you’re in danger, press the radar button to send a signal. I’ll rush over as soon as I see the distress signal.
The seven players looked at each other. Finally, wind stood up, ” I’ll team up with the CHA Sha Prophet and Tang Jiu. Leng Feng, you’ll team up with Bomb Chicken, dog feed King, and Panamera. What do you think? ”
Leng Feng nodded without thinking.
There were both old and new members in this group, and Leng Feng was a Special Forces soldier in real life. He had experienced similar harsh conditions, so there would be no problem with him leading the team. Wind also took advantage of the grouping to separate himself from gousheng King to share the risk and not put the eggs in the same box.
Everyone took the spare gas masks and radar.
“Fu, the macaw, the skeleton wolf, and I will form a team,” link continued.”John, you and King Kong will form a team.”
Fu gave John a gas mask and a radar.
“Because the death quagmire has been exposed to nuclear radiation, in addition to the crater here and the underground military base, the radio wave positioning of the radar may have some errors, the range may not exceed 50 meters. Therefore, everyone must be careful when taking action. Each radar has a number. Mine is number 1, John is number 2, wind is number 3, and Leng Feng is number 4. no matter who finds the entrance, after calling out and seeing number 1 arrive, call out, everyone will come together.”
“Alright, let’s move out!”
The four teams spread out in different directions in a radioactive pattern.
Soon, all the figures disappeared into the grayish-green miasma.
Gulu!
the true prophet cha sha followed closely behind wind and tang jiu. he looked back from time to time and said nervously, ” “by the way, isn’t the three of us a little too few?”
Wind smiled and didn’t answer the question directly. Instead, he turned around and said,”Tang Jiu, have you been waiting for this opportunity?”
Tang Jiu had obtained a mechanical weapon when he had obtained the mechanical city. After he returned to hand in the mission, he had obtained another piece of mechanical equipment and the green equipment that had dropped from the instance dungeon. Now, he was fully equipped with luxurious equipment. He was waiting for an opportunity to show his strength.
However, before Tang Jiu could speak, a “whoosh” sound was suddenly heard from behind the three of them.
The three of them turned around.
Other than the gray fog and miasma behind him, there was no other figure.
