Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1505 Robber

   After a simple wash, Liu Xing and Ding Kun drank coffee together and chatted while watching the rising sun.

"Now the first stage of this main mission has been completed. It depends on how to explore the ruins of this ancient civilization." Ding Kun said with some worry: "Yesterday, when I went to the toilet at night, I saw Norton and others. We are still discussing whether the ancient ruins have excavation value, as well as the assessment of unknown risks. As a result, the final conclusion is a bit inexplicable, that is, it is possible to dig, but only a little, because the items that have been excavated at the entrance come from Look, the relics of this ancient civilization may be a city that has been severely war-torn."

"Cities like this don't actually have much scientific research value, because cities in ancient times are actually a one-time item. After all, ancient civilizations are strange to us today, so their respective cities have very obvious characteristics. , so most cities are not suitable for other civilizations to live in, so these cities will be abandoned directly after being broken, and the good things in the city will naturally be taken away, and the remaining things may also be passers-by or professional. scavengers take away, and the last remaining things will become waste in the passage of time.”

"But because of the big pit trap at the beginning, it makes people a little suspicious that there is something wrong with the relics of this ancient civilization. After all, who would set up a trap near a worthless abandoned city? Isn't it okay to find trouble? So Elizabeth thinks The relics of this ancient civilization may be hidden. Although it has been faked as an abandoned city, it is actually a different place. It may be the secret fortress of the ancient civilization, or it may be a hidden spare city, ready to be reserved for the future. , after all, the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit has already been established."

Hearing what Ding Kun said, Liu Xing believed more what Sirius said last night. It seems that the ancient ruins under his feet are indeed a captured city, but what makes it special is that it It is the capital of a country.

   "If I hadn't been worried about being discovered by Norton and others that I was eavesdropping, I should have been able to hear some key information."

  Ding Kun picked up a stone and threw it into the big pit. "When I was just getting up and exercising, I suddenly discovered a very interesting thing, that is, there is a problem with the gravity in this big pit."

Liu Xing looked at the stone and found that its falling speed was indeed slower than normal, but it was only about a quarter slower, so if Ding Kun hadn't reminded him, Liu Xing would not have noticed it. a little.

"If nothing else, there may be an anti-gravity device in operation in this ancient ruin, so I began to suspect that this so-called tiankeng trap is that some sand and dust are constantly being kept by this anti-gravity device. Lifting, a terrain similar to a quicksand pit was formed in the end. As a result, the previous expedition team was also unlucky, just in time for the moment when the anti-gravity device failed, so the whole team fell directly, and this The anti-gravity device may still be restarting, so the effect is just that." Ding Kun said seriously.

Liu Xing frowned and said with some doubts: "Brother Ding, you mean that if this anti-gravity device is successfully restarted, we will not be hurt even if we jump directly, because we may feel like we are in space. float?"

"Yes, I think this main quest may require us to enter the ruins of this ancient civilization, and then ostensibly give us no time conditions, but it will let us know that we should go through the disappearing gravity, because if we don't If you leave, it may become a meat pie on the ceiling." Ding Kun nodded and replied.

   At this moment, the campsite began to become noisy, and when Liu Xing looked back, he found that many people were scrambling for the toilet. . .

As for Zhang Jingxu and others, they couldn't hold back after waking up, because Liu Xing and others had gone to the toilet before leaving the airport. After all, going to the toilet in this wilderness area is still a test of a person's psychological quality. , especially for these "city folks" who have no relevant experience.

   "Ah, I don't know what we're going to do today."

Yin En Yangtian said: "Although I have only been here for less than half a day, I have already started to feel bored, because there is not even a mobile phone signal here, and there is no mahjong or anything... I knew it was going so early, I just left yesterday. It's time to buy a pair of mahjong and bring it here, and play around when you have nothing to do."

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said with a smile, "You look down on Norton and the others, don't you? Our current entrance exam is also a special kind of interview. We can paddle around, but we can't play it blatantly, right? "

   Zhang Jingxu's voice just fell when an explosion suddenly sounded in the distance.

"problem occurs?"

Liu Xing looked at a small mushroom cloud rising in the distance, roughly estimated the distance and said: "The explosion point is less than three kilometers away from us, and I remember we came from there, in that area. There should be no buildings or residents, so what happened to this explosion?"

   "Everyone, please pay attention, because the explosion point is not far from us, so for the sake of safety, please go to the temporary parking lot to gather with the team equipped with weapons, and make necessary battle preparations."

   Elizabeth's voice suddenly resounded throughout the camp, "As for those who are not equipped with weapons, but who know how to use guns, please come to me to collect weapons."

Liu Xing took out his pistol and said to Shi Zixuan: "Master Zixuan, if you can, you can stay here and help me take care of Tian Qing and Li Mengyao, they have just joined the Cthulhu running group game hall and haven't had a chance yet. Learn firearms skills."

   Shi Zixuan nodded, hugged Tian Qing with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Liu Xing, your wife and I will take care of him."

   After a few laughs, everyone took action.

Although Liu Xing has already taken back the biological pistol, the shape of that thing is really too cool, so Liu Xing is embarrassed to take it out and use it, and in such a possible high-intensity battle, he cannot take the initiative to replenish bullets The weapon is a piece of scrap iron.

When Liu Xing and others came to the temporary parking lot, they found that someone was installing light machine guns on those pickup trucks, which made Liu Xing and others feel relieved. After all, in the battle without armored units, the firepower of the light machine guns The output is still not to be underestimated.

"Everyone, please note that I have just released a drone to investigate the explosion site and found that several oil tankers were attacked. As for the attackers, it looks like a group of more than ten robbers, each with a rifle. , so the firepower is quite strong." Norton stood up and said: "But it is a bit strange that these people should have come to **** the oil, but from the traces left on the scene, they directly shot and detonated. And more importantly, these tankers were detonated at almost the same time, so we only heard an explosion."

   "Is this a thief calling to catch a thief?"

Liu Xing frowned and said: "Judging from the current situation, these oil tankers should have been deliberately destroyed, and the purpose of doing so is either to take the opportunity to raise oil prices in nearby cities, or to defraud insurance money or something. Yes... but that being said, I think both possibilities seem outrageous, because it's okay to say it in other countries, but this is one of the poorest countries in the world, so even if you raise oil prices, you have to Not much benefit, as for insurance money, does this land really have it?"

"Yes, in a country like Dihai, there are only so many people who can use oil, and it is relatively fixed, so such means of raising oil prices are likely to be more than worth the loss; as for insurance money, it has to be There is an insurance company in this country, and the country is in chaos today, even if there is an insurance company, they should run away, after all, if they don’t run now, they may lose their money later.” Yin En continued. said.

"I don't understand...Wait, the Earthsea Kingdom is right next to America, so the Earthsea Kingdom should apply to America for assistance now, so it blew up a few oil tankers and turned around. You can ask America to get oil for several ships." Zhang Jingxu said.

At this moment, Norton, who was controlling the drone, said again: "These guys are coming towards us, so everyone find a bunker nearby and prepare for battle. If you don't have enough bullets, you can confidently go to the nearby ammunition box. supplement."

Hearing what Norton said, everyone present immediately spread out to look for cover. To put it bluntly, it was Big Stone and Uncle. Only a few people chose to use vehicles as cover when they had to, because within the effective range of the rifle, ordinary cars It can't stop bullets at all, and there is the possibility of detonating the mailbox, so it is better not to use the car as a bunker if possible.

   As for Liu Xing and others, they were very lucky and found a boulder that was just enough to hide everyone, although this also left Liu Xing and others with only two firepower points left and right.

   After a while, Liu Xing heard the roar of the car, and a burst of gunfire, it sounded like someone was firing a shot at the sky.

"Okay, it seems that we don't need to worry about this group of well-trained robbers." Ding Kun shook his head and said, "To shoot empty guns at the beginning is not only a waste of bullets, but also a lack of management. Besides, as long as these guys are not blind, they should be able to see the light machine guns on those pickup trucks, which are much better than their rifles."

"But we don't know if these guys still have backup, and the chaos in Earthsea is mainly in the capital city, and at the same time they come and go quickly, so if these robbers didn't come out of nowhere, then It shows that they should be from a certain tribe nearby. These local snakes are easy to fight, but difficult to deal with." Ding Kun shook his head and said, "The strong dragon does not suppress the local snakes, after all, we are just an expedition team. , if you are in a hostile relationship with the nearby tribes, you have to worry about the retaliation of these tribes later."

   At this moment, the gang of robbers have also connected with Norton.

  Because Earthsea is close to America, there are also many people in Earthsea who can speak English, so Liu Xing can still understand what the leader of the gang of robbers talked to Norton.

To put it simply, Norton made it clear that he only needed a phone call to get the soldiers stationed at the airport to run over to suppress the bandits, and the bandit leader was not a vegetarian, so he directly stated that he only needed a cloud-piercing arrow. Hundreds of brothers came to destroy the expedition, and as a result, neither side accepted the other, so they fell into a confrontation for a while.

   But in the end, the leader of the gang of robbers confessed and said that he was not afraid of anything. The main reason was that the brothers hadn't had breakfast yet. If they were hungry and fought, they would suffer a loss, so they just ran away.

   Of course, Norton also knew that robbers like this might call in more people and then come to trouble the expedition, so he didn't hesitate and made a phone call to prepare for the robbery.

"I don't think these guys are real robbers. The reason is the fuel tankers that were detonated. After all, the robbers also pay attention to a profit, so whether it is to detonate the fuel tanker, or come to find an adventure that is not easy to deal with. Trouble for the team, it's all typically thankless."

   Liu Xing, who returned to the camp, said suspiciously: "But I still don't understand what these guys are trying to do. Are they just looking for excitement when they have nothing to do?"

"Maybe it was sent by that group of mercenaries? They wanted to test our origins? Because for those mercenaries, we can be said to be their biggest enemy, so we figured out our movements and just Can we know whether we are here to interfere with their actions." Ding Kun analyzed.

After a simple breakfast, Liu Xing and others left those "robbers" behind, because Norton announced that he would lead a group of people to the gate of the ruins to inquire about the situation. Liu Xing and others were naturally brought along by Norton.

  In order to make it easier to get up and down, Elizabeth has organized people to build a simple elevator, which is to use a pickup truck to drive the pulley block. Although it can only transport a few people at a time, it is much more convenient when transporting equipment.

   Of course, if some people don’t want to wait for the elevator, they can still use the rope to rappel down.

Just when Liu Xing and others reached the bottom of the big pit, Norton came over, "You are Professor Yin's friends, right? He asked me to take care of you, so you only need to walk with me a few times, and I can give you admission. Get a passing grade on the exam."

   Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Then trouble Professor Norton, I hope we can cooperate happily this time."
