Chapter 360: The Outlaw Chisar Island (9)
An Yizhi's consciousness was still awake, and he had not lost control of his body, but he felt unusually weak.
He turned his head with difficulty to look at the two teammates, who, like himself, had painful expressions, probably due to the massive loss of mana.
Strangely, the crowd around them ignored their appearance, still clasped their hands together and prayed quietly, as if they did not even feel the slightest disgust from the miserable corpse of McFlin.
The prayers grew louder and louder, and in the middle of the room, Ann pointed and heard them say:
“y-n’gha-nyth-n q’yth-Az! y-n’gha-nyth-n q’yth-Az! ”
The sound of prayer seemed to go straight from his ears to his head, and the whole mind echoed with the sound of prayers in strange language, accompanied by a seductive voice that was calling him.
An Yizhi knew that anything that called him was probably not a good thing, and he did not dare to respond, desperately covering his ears with his hands, but this action was in vain, and the sound was not transmitted through it, but through some more mysterious and incomprehensible channel.
- Like the crystal on his chest.
Could it be that you are going to kneel before you see the Lord?
Just as he was thinking this, the magic that gushed out like a flood suddenly stopped, to be precise, the loss of stopping, and the strange calls in his ears and the voices of the crowd praying also disappeared in that instant, as if they had never appeared.
"Just now...... What happened? ”
Breeze Bazooka was terrified, there were so many unexpected things in this dungeon.
It's not like she hasn't played temporary dungeons, and the temporary dungeons she has experienced are usually detective types that mix puzzle-solving elements, so the Qingfeng Bazu cartoon that is not good at this kind has a low clearance rate. However, this copy greatly exceeded her expectations, the first half was quite normal, but when they landed on the island, they found that it was not normal!
Silently checked the video recording and screenshot function, and confirmed that there was no problem, Qingfeng Bazooka knew what kind of uproar this clearance video would cause once it was handed in, which was beyond the category of 'entertainment', and could almost be regarded as the system torturing players!
"We've survived, and I've got three-quarters of my blue stripe left, are you too?"
Tu Hongyu is a melee fighter, even if he is only level 1, his recovery power is stronger than the other two, and he stands up with his heart covered.
"Me too, and I found that the lost mana has not been restored, and I guess I will die after three more attempts. I just don't know if this is a timed episode or if it's triggered by some event"
An Yi pointed to the system time, it is now 12:15 noon, if memory is correct, they were only possessed by the crystal two hours ago, could it be said that it starts every 2 hours?
If you think about it this way, they only have 6 hours left to clear the level, and once the magic is completely drained, it is estimated that the end will be the same as McFlynn.
The three of them didn't have time to think about why McFlyn was hung up with the crystal, probably because he often didn't return to the island, so he simply drained it to avoid waste.
Anyway, the deceased are gone, it doesn't matter, they have to clear the customs as soon as possible.
At this time, they saw several people carrying stretchers to separate the crowd, and as if they were cleaning up the garbage discarded on the ground, they threw McFlynn's body on the stretcher, and then left on their own.
No one questioned the whole time, not even their expressions changed, their faces were always stiff, like sluggish wax figures, and like moving dolls.
The people around them also dispersed, as if nothing had happened, only a little blood on the ground, indicating what had just happened.
An Yi pointed to the direction where the stretcher bearers had left, and found that it happened to be the town office.
"Let's take a look"
"Still watching?"
"Hughes said that let's see how the townspeople bury the dead, there must be a reason for him, and it will not be groundless."
This reason persuaded Tu Hongyu, who had palpitations, that he now just wanted to quickly clear the copy of this dog, and then go offline, McFflin's death was really terrifying.
"I think it's better to save Hughes first"
Qingfeng Bazooka has a different opinion, she says:
"Hughes said that let's watch it just to make us believe him, I think the system may be arranging this way to trigger the plot of McFflin's death, if you rescue Hughes directly, it will probably not be triggered, considering what may be triggered again, it is better to save Hughes directly, protect the people who know all this first, and it will be easier to do anything in the future"
What she said made sense, and An Yizhi was a little upside down.
The latter thought about it and felt that this girl was right, one bird in hand is better than a hundred birds in the forest, he wanted to weigh it to see if he could rescue Mallory and Hughes to get two side quest rewards, but now it seems that Mallory's side quest reward is too difficult, and it is likely to risk him failing to clear the dungeon.
They got two perfect-level equipment and a B-level skill, which is already a super high reward in a dungeon of normal difficulty, there is no need to be greedy, lest you get it when you don't get it, how to ensure fast clearance is the first priority.
"Alright, let's go save Hughes first"
Glancing at the taskbar, An pointed and said:
"I feel like if I save Hughes, the main quest should be updated"
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Knowing that time was pressing, the three of them rushed all the way back to the police station.
How to save Hughes, that's the question.
Ann first pretended to ask for another meeting with Hughes and went into the police station to investigate, confirming that there was only one police officer on duty inside.
The three of them then observed whether there were any police patrols near the port area, which was to prevent others from breaking in when the three of them were moving.
As for how to move Hughes, who was almost paralyzed, Ann thought of a way, and they found a two-wheeled flatbed truck, which was placed on the edge of the dock, and there was a strong fishy smell on it, presumably used to transport the catch. The size is just right for one person to lie in, and the double wheels are not relatively stable to push.
Everything was ready, but just as they were about to act, they found that the old mayor had accompanied two policemen into the police station.
The trio had to temporarily suspend operations.
It's okay to deal with one policeman, it's hard to have two policemen, but it's not good for three policemen, and they're not sure to subdue three as soon as possible.
Although it is a poor and remote town, the police here also have guns in their hands, and the combat effectiveness of the player's side is only Tu Hongyu and Qingfeng Bazooka, and An Yizhi's marksmanship...... Don't talk about it.
However, thinking of McFflin's tragic situation, the old mayor ran here to give Ann a bad feeling. He decided that he couldn't wait any longer, and that if Hughes knelt with him, they would completely lose any initiative.
Breeze Bazooka's rifle and detonator were in the violin box, and the thing was too conspicuous to carry all day, so it was left at the McFlinch house, and if the mayor was going to do something to Hughes, it would be too late to run back and get it now.
It is not advisable to attack strongly, the combat effectiveness is insufficient, and there is no way to force it directly.
What to do?
Ann Yizhi anxiously thought of a way, time passed minute by minute, and every second that passed, the chance of rescuing Hughes was one less point.
"Lead the snake out of the hole"
Breeze Bazooka said.
"Huh?"
"Luring the snake out of the hole"
Repeating one side more, Breeze Bazooka explained:
"There's a little window at the back of the cell from where I can shoot with a pistol, and I can rescue Hughes in case he's in danger. And if I shoot, the police will definitely run out of the main entrance, and then you are ambushing on both sides of the police station, and after you get rid of the police, rush in and take Hughes away, and finally we will meet together."
This kind of tactical arrangement happened to be Qingfeng Bazooka's strong point, and after listening to it, An Yizhi decided to do what she said, after all, there was no other way.
An Yizhi also knows his marksmanship well, he ambushes behind the police sign, which is the closest to the door, and he should always hit one of them when he pulls the trigger in a row.
He only has a revolver plus six spare rounds of ammunition, a total of 12 rounds, and Tu Hongyu is the same, including Qingfeng Bazukado, although there is no spare ammunition, she has three guns (two police guns and one peacemaker with no special effects), a total of 18 rounds of ammunition. Moreover, Qingfeng Bazooka's marksmanship is super accurate, so if you can't solve the enemy, you can wait for Qingfeng Bazooka to come to support.
The two of them prepared for the ambush, and An Yizhi felt his palms sweating......
- Marksmanship is sparse, no rut.
At this time, they heard a gunshot and hurried footsteps from the police station, and the two knew that the enemy was rapidly approaching.
- Bang bang!
Tu Hongyu saw that a figure had just stepped out of the gate of the police station, so he directly fired two shots, one of which flew away, and the second shot seemed to hit the man's thigh.
Surprisingly, the policeman who was hit did not even let out a scream, as if it was someone else who was hit, and continued to walk forward with numb eyes, but the leg that was shot made him unable to complete this action, and he staggered to the ground.
These guys are in a state of being controlled!
An Yizhi knew in his heart, he was not idle, and fired 6 shots at the second person who came out of the police station.
This time the god of luck patronized him, none of the 6 shots missed, all of them hit, and one shot accurately hit the man's head, opening him a round brain hole.
"Quick! We don't have much time! ”
Greeting Tu Hongyu, who was replenishing the gun for the fallen policeman, An Yizhi put the gun in his arms, and there was no time for him to slowly reload at this time.
The two of them walked quickly into the police station.
Relying on his memory, he came to Hughes's cell, and at this time, the door of the cell was wide open, and the old mayor fell to the ground, holding a crystal necklace in his hand, presumably trying to put it on Hughes's neck, but this scene was stopped by Qingfeng Bazooka, and she shot the old mayor in the head.
"You're finally here, quick, help me out"
Hughes still had an expression of survival on his face, and when he saw the old mayor coming over with a pendant, he thought he was dead, but he didn't expect a bullet to turn the summit around.
"Carry him on your back, let's go"
An Yi can not carry the tall Hughes, this job can only be done by the equally tall Tu Hongyu.
"I always feel like you've been using me as a coolie lately......"
Tu Hongyu muttered.
"Those who can work harder"
An Yizhi replied by loading the revolver with a bullet.
"Little brother, you light, I'm a wounded"
Hughes, who didn't have time to complain, sent a prompt from the system at the moment he was on his back.
[Main Quest Update: Escape from Chisa Island]
As expected, the system really updated the mission!
The three of them left the police station and saw Qingfeng Bazooka standing at the door, and An Yi pointed and said:
"Get the cart back, we're going to run!"
"I'm afraid it's not that easy"
"Huh?"
"Look"
Following the direction pointed by Qingfeng Bazooka, An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu looked towards the port on the left.
The harbor, which had been calm and uneventful before they entered, was now filled with sharp crystals, large and small, like a wall, completely blocking the idea of trying to seize a fishing boat and run away.
At the same time, they noticed that a large group of island residents were walking towards them, like zombies without any senses......
