Abnormal paradise

The direction pointed by the old man in the suit was away from the control center. The four players looked at each other and ran away immediately. The eighty-minute game limit was almost over. No matter what, they first got a higher level of assessment and evaluation.

"Why did you just say that long speech? To show your superiority? Or is the foundation so weak that it needs you to train new people yourself?" The colorful clown was very disdainful, and the corners of his exaggerated red eyes narrowed slightly, "Hmph , the foundation prides itself on being the guardian of the abnormal paradise, but it never takes human life seriously. In order to train a qualified newcomer, it is willing to sacrifice countless lives. How can its cruel methods be similar to those of us street rats? "

The old man in a suit looked at the struggling Mimic and said in a steady tone: "Since the establishment of the Foundation, it has its own set of rules for settling down and living. You should know that for those who are about to die, it is the existence of the Foundation that allows them to continue their lives. Opportunity. As for the training method, you don’t need to comment. Our goal is to train strong people to protect one side, and even if you become stronger, you are just one madman trying to destroy the world."

Having said this, the old man in a suit's face darkened: "The Chaos Lighthouse is destined to be destroyed."

"Heh, let's wait and see."

The colorful clown sneered, glanced at the Mimic that was gradually calming down, and said jokingly: "Oh, I forgot to remind you, that emotional crystal may have a little more energy. When it is completely digested, it will almost usher in Life has changed. Old tailor, if you are afraid of accidentally killing those ants, you can give up and just treat me as a good person and let them save their lives!"

"Those little ideas of yours would not have succeeded before, and they will never succeed in the future." The old man in a suit took out a newspaper from somewhere, threw it gently, and attached it to the box of the Mimic. "It is still far from being fully evolved. Ten minutes, if you can't hold on for ten minutes, then it won't be a pity even if all the newcomers die."

Hearing this, the colorful clown curled his lips, and then saw the Mimic, which had temporarily stabilized its life energy, chasing the player with "brisk" steps, and the voice of the old man in a suit came to his ears again.

"But if any of them can survive, what does it matter if I am imprisoned again? Anyway, it will be a matter of time."

…

[Tip: When the game time reaches eighty minutes, you have received an "Outstanding" evaluation in this assessment. 】

[Tip: Since you choose to continue the challenge, you will enter the "Battle Royale Mode-Level 2 Challenge". Mimic monsters with increased strength will start chasing you for ten minutes until all players are eliminated. 】

[Tip: Due to the significant increase in challenge difficulty, the top manager left behind guidance props to shorten the game time and special clues to unlock hidden tasks. The conditions for obtaining them are to allow the Mimic to enter the second stage. 】

The appearance of game prompts suddenly lightened the heavy atmosphere.

"The top executive actually left a shortcut? It seems that Yi Yan's previous judgment was correct. If we want to survive to the end, we must choose to work together. If Zouma is still around, we can share more of the pressure." Fish Scale Arm shook his head. It's a pity that he was so caught off guard that he had no chance to help.

"Indeed, running like this is not an option. Counterattack is the only way out." It's not that the masters are frowning, the infant Mimic Monsters are already difficult enough, but how powerful will the Mimic Monsters that are approaching their infancy become?

"But the problem is that our damage is really limited!" Ember was running with a solemn expression. Even if he was at the highest level, he was not sure of resisting the enhanced Mimic Monster that he had not officially met yet. "That Mimic Monster has a certain amount of health." Doubling it, even if its defense is negligible, you don’t know how many times it will take to attack it to death.”

Tomorrow Youyu, who was still a little dissatisfied with Yu Yan, suddenly said: "After saying so much, is there anything you can do?"

"If you can't increase your attack power, you can only work hard to create a favorable combat environment." Yi Jin felt that this reason was very simple, so he glanced at Tomorrow There Will Be Rain in a strange way and asked the two senior players, "You guys are here?" Isn’t there anything noteworthy on the road?”

"have!"

Fish Scale Arm immediately thought of the place to be eliminated: "The crow-faced plague doctor's containment facility was shrouded in darkness, and the ground was covered with corrosive liquid. I accidentally touched it once. It takes five life levels to be completely immune. If there If we fight, it’s a good idea.”

"However, we are afraid that we will be overtaken before we can get there in time, so we have to find opportunities to delay on the way." Not an expert suddenly looked at the rain tomorrow, "I remember your specialty mission is to close the breach of containment [ Armed Dolls], is there any way to reactivate them?"

Tomorrow Youyu thought for a while: "It should be possible. If they are still in the same place, just restart the switch."

Everyone ran all the way, and finally arrived at the place where the experts said they were before the Mimic appeared. Fortunately, a group of fully armed humanoid dolls, large and small, stood quietly in the passage and were not destroyed by the Chaos Apostles. Along the way, they could see many door guards that had been forcibly blown up and intact ones. The armed dolls make players very happy.

After listening to Fish Scale Arm's introduction, Ember learned about their previous encounters. Under the leadership of the security adjutant, the players encountered a group of abnormal items that broke through containment, which were the armed dolls that appeared in front of Ember at this time. Although the danger level of these dolls is not as high as Brocade and Crow-faced Plague Doctor, the various toy weapons they possess also cause a lot of trouble to the Third Guard.

The solution is to turn off the action switch of the armed doll.

In order to save time, the guards were dispatched one after another, taking with them Tomorrow Youyu who had the agility specialty. The dagger he obtained came from one of the armed dolls.

"These armed dolls will automatically restart every once in a while. Look for the basic dolls with a clockwork on the back. They can be activated regularly a while in advance." Tomorrow Youyu obviously has more accurate information. After hearing his introduction, Ember and others immediately took action and began to search for targets that could be exploited among dozens of dolls.

Of course, it is not difficult to activate high-level dolls, but if you do so, the players will only be wiped out more simply.

Just after the half-minute countdown was set for the fifth basic doll, a significantly larger Mimic finally caught up with the four players.

squeak! squeak!

The slender and thick limbs kept alternating, supporting the box with a huge gaping mouth, and rushed over quickly. Sensing that the player was in front, the treasure box monster let out a weird scream that represented excitement. At the same time, the players also took the Grab your weapon and prepare for your first encounter with the enhanced Mimic.

They must at least persist until the basic doll is reactivated in order to successfully achieve the purpose of delaying.

The battle is about to break out.

The Mimic Monster in front of him is not only larger in size, but also incredibly fast. Every time an attack misses, the player can only barely attack once or twice. The box that is supposed to contain the movement seems to have no effect on it anymore. Not only It can use its two long arms to attack, and sometimes it can even sweep with its legs.

But the only good thing is that the players' attacks can still break through the defense.

This means that there is still a possibility of victory in a leapfrog battle, no matter how slim it is.

In addition, the previous efforts to recharge their batteries obviously had some effect. Even though the treasure chest monster brought huge pressure, the players were able to delay the awakening of the first armed doll without any danger.

"A large number of enemies have been detected nearby. Assault combat doll - Recruit No. 7. Requesting support from the headquarters. Requesting support from the headquarters!"

There was a crackling sound in the joints, which made the battle doll seem to have come to life. It directly used the high-level doll next to it as a cover and hid. As the other dolls gradually woke up, it used an electronic accent to organize everyone to launch an attack. .

"We have lost contact with the headquarters. Assault Combat Doll Recruit No. 7 is temporarily taking command. Recruit No. 9 and No. 13, you join me in the assault. Recruit No. 20 and No. 21 are responsible for fire suppression!"

The addition of five armed dolls immediately turned the battlefield into chaos. Since the players were also identified as enemy targets, Ember was in a very embarrassing situation. The three assault dolls were okay, one was holding a melee weapon, and the other two simply went into battle empty-handed, but the two armed dolls were responsible for fire suppression. , but possesses firearms and equipment.

[Tip: You are attacked by the abnormal project "Armed Doll" - fire-type combat doll, Recruit No. 20 and No. 21. 】

[Tip: Your health points are reduced by two points. 】

[Tip: Your health points are reduced by two points. 】

…

Although the firearms of the armed doll are toys and the bullets are plastic, Ember is unable to parry. Thanks to the primary protective clothing, the damage is reduced. Otherwise, two bullets can knock out a third of his health. . Maybe the principle of conservation of luck really exists. Just how good Ember's luck was in front of him is now the same. As he was busy looking for a hiding place, he was accidentally kicked by a Mimic, and his health suddenly dropped. one third.

[Tip: You were violently attacked by the abnormal item "Enhanced Baby Mimic", and your abdomen was slightly injured and accompanied by bleeding. 】

[Abdominal damage (mild): The attack range is limited, the attack intensity is reduced, and the injury cannot be recovered over time. 】

[Bleeding (slight): Reduces health by two points every second, lasting fifteen seconds. 】

[Tip: If your life level reaches level two, you can be immune to this negative effect. 】

There were only thirty embers of life in total, and his blood volume had dropped by more than half at this time. At the critical moment, he raised his life level without hesitation, finally avoiding further blood loss. It’s also worth mentioning that the attack from the treasure chest monster also gave him a blessing in disguise. Not only did he get out of the siege, but it also immediately attracted the hatred of all the armed dolls, and also gave the players a chance to retreat.

"Let's go!"

The master grabbed Ember and ran away quickly after Fish Scale Arm and Tomorrow Youyu. Although the abdominal injury was faintly painful, fortunately it did not affect Ember's running speed. The players had not thought about waiting until both sides were injured before proceeding. They surrounded and killed the treasure chest monster, but the tragic one-sided battle made them dare not stay any longer.
