Forces of Temptation

The five people in front of them didn't need any documents to prove their identities, and their temperament was different from that of ordinary players.

When they poked there, the bones grew upwards, tall and straight like a flag.

This is the best business card.

They quickly introduced themselves.

He Yinchuan, 26 years old.

A special soldier who retired due to injury at the age of 23. After serving as a fire chief for one year, he entered a toluene leaking factory three times to rescue people. In the end, he hugged a child brought to the factory by his mother to play, and was blown out by the residual air wave of the explosion.

When he recovered from his injury, the leader was really afraid of his desperate efforts and forced him into a civilian position, so he was regarded as the former captain.

His code name is "Goujian".

Following behind He Yinchuan, the man who was half a head taller than him was Zhou Ao.

His self-introduction was concise and to the point: "The current captain of the S City Armed Police Fire Brigade."

He turned out to be the vice captain, a colleague of the same unit as He Yinchuan.

He happened to take He Yinchuan's class.

Now the two are back together again.

He was probably injured in the last dungeon. Bandages were wrapped around his forearms, wrapping his hands and arms tightly.

Because he didn't like to talk, He Yinchuan took it upon himself to give him the codename "Chime Bell", hoping that he could make more noises.

Lu Bifang is a junior in the police academy.

Although he is physically fit, but according to his performance, there is a high probability that he will be a small police officer in the police station who can mediate his parents' problems in the future.

The tall man at 187 is in stark contrast to his character who can't help but blush when he talks to strangers.

Codenamed "Running Horse".

Liang Shu, as a military doctor, doesn't look like a military doctor, but a model.

She has a very calm demeanor, coupled with the corners of her lips that are always slightly raised, and the gentle questioning of "Is this difficult?" written all over her face, one glance is very reassuring.

Her code name is "Palace Lantern".

Lin Zhisong, a student at the School of Telecommunications Engineering of the Military Academy.

Probably because he has been dealing with dead things like circuit boards and data for a long time, he is a baby-faced boy with a slightly neurotic temperament, huddled in the back of everyone.

During the introduction, he didn't say a word, and He Yinchuan took care of the whole process, only holding back at the right time

His duty is to conduct a comprehensive collection of dungeon information, and specifically record various information in the dungeon.

Codenamed "Cicada Pattern".

Their code names are all objects related to bronze wares, which is appropriate for the occasion.

Since the disappearances have spread widely, the country has launched a volunteer recruitment order, focusing on the army, military academies, current and retired police forces, to recruit volunteer teams to search for the missing.

Someone who is missing has to be found.

But the missing people never came back.

Therefore, this volunteer team is almost a death squad.

The way to find it is also very simple.

Volunteers, in groups of three, four, or five, drove slowly through the increasingly empty cities and villages, actively looking for the disappearing opportunity.

There are times when volunteers return to the cocoon safe and sound.

Sometimes, they will disappear silently in a corner of the city.

While signing voluntary waivers with them, the superiors also gave them a high degree of autonomy in action as much as possible.

It can be said that every volunteer left a will before entering the game and was fully prepared to die in the line of duty.

The Bronze Brigade was lucky, it entered "Gravity" through the reorganization system.

After going through two dungeons and getting a general understanding of the game, they decided to protect the players in the same dungeon as much as possible, and they didn't plan to split up.

The five of them get along very well, they specialize in PVE, cooperate with each other, and pass the level very quickly.

They don't even give themselves vacation time.

Therefore, after they had just finished the previous dungeon, after a 12-hour brief rest, they immediately started the strategy for the next dungeon.

In other words, they didn't have time to know the existence of "Cube Ark" from the World Channel.

……

Nan Zhou carefully observed every face in front of him.

He couldn't hear the mission requirements of the dungeon just now.

But seeing that everyone is still standing here, as if they are not eager to explore, he infers that this time it should be like "Xiao Ming's daily life", and the system has left them a period of preparation.

……

A few official courtesies and introductions used up all the seriousness of Captain He Yinchuan.

"You guys are pretty easy to talk to." He Yinchuan likes to laugh, and he doesn't see the desperate Saburo style of not treating his life as a valuable thing at work, "Last time we met a team of players, and they wanted to check our IDs. We took them out and said We are forged... It took a long time just to tell the identity—"

Zhou Ao touched his arm: "It's business."

He Yinchuan coughed and restrained himself a bit: "Well, it's business."

He looked around: "First of all, the three of you, whoever is physically weak, please raise your hand."

Li Yinhang pursed his lips.

She carefully evaluated her physical fitness and felt that she was on the verge of "ok" and "no".

Her endurance is not a big problem among ordinary girls.

But in this extreme environment——

While she was still seriously considering whether to hold back, an arm was slowly raised from her side.

Nan Zhou said frankly: "Me."

Li Yinhang: "..."

Boss, what are you going to do again?

However, regardless of height, Nan Zhou is indeed a manly appearance.

He was originally very white, as white as porcelain jade with a thin body, giving people the illusion that fine cracks would burst open when gently pinched.

Under the moonlight, even the slender and pale fingertips hanging by his side were severely lacking in blood,

It wasn't until he raised his chin a little that He Yinchuan and his party recognized his appearance from the moonlight silhouette with too much light.

After seeing his face clearly, the five of them were obviously stunned.

Looking at this face that was slightly sweating and in need of care, his words were very convincing.

And Lin Zhisong, who stood the farthest in a straight line with the "Cicada pattern", took the initiative to take a few steps forward after seeing most of Nan Zhou's face clearly.

He carefully looked at Nan Zhou's face, his eyes lighted up with interest.

After briefly asking about Nan Zhou's name and occupation, He Yinchuan turned his head and said, "Xiao Lu, I'll leave it to you."

"Running horse" Lu Bifang hadn't had time to respond when Lin Zhisong said, "Leave him to me."

As he said that, Lin Zhisong approached Nanzhou with big strides.

But when he was about to approach him, a figure took a step across, separating the two of them without a doubt.

"Sorry." Jiang Fang nodded slightly at Lin Zhisong, "I can take care of him."

The moonlight with a strong sense of presence outside the window has indeed greatly hindered the group's ability to see things.

They were just now because Jiang Fang's silver hair was due to the visual difference caused by the light hair color.

He Yinchuan narrowed his eyes: "Foreign friends?"

Jiang Fang only looked at Lin Zhisong: "...Thank you."

He Yinchuan turned his back and whispered to Zhou Ao: "...if it is not well protected, will it involve diplomatic issues?"

Zhou Ao didn't change his face: "It's enough to protect everything."

He Yinchuan also quickly smoothed out his thoughts: "That line, each takes care of himself. Xiao Lu, you are the wing guard, and always pay attention to their situation,"

Lu Bifang responded with an "Hey", but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Fang's direction.

Jiang Fang caught his gaze, turned his eyes, and nodded politely to him.

Lu Bifang subconsciously avoided his sight, as if avoiding something.

Jiang Fang raised his eyebrows slightly.

But he quickly shifted all his energy back to the weak Nan Zhou.

On Li Yinhang's side, of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the boss.

She firmly believes that Nanzhou has her own plan and is cosplaying here

Therefore, although she felt that the Bronze Brigade was very trustworthy, she only regarded them as a powerful foreign aid, and she still sat firmly on her side without moving.

"Let's find supplies separately." Li Yinhang looked at Lu Bifang and thanked him sincerely, "Uncle policeman, thank you."

Lu Bifang: "..."

……I am 22 years old……

But he still blushed and hummed obediently.

Nan Zhou silently observed the surrounding environment.

The two teams of players are currently in a simple two-story cement building.

The craftsmanship of this floor is relatively rough. Smelling the cold and decaying atmosphere inside and the cold-proof glass that has been cracked and cracked, but no one maintains it, one knows that this place has probably been abandoned for a long time.

This time there were only two groups of players, a total of 8 people.

They plan to split into two groups and go their own way.

Lu Bifang originally planned to stay as a wing guard, but seeing that "Cubic Ark" didn't seem to want to take him into action, he hesitated, and followed his team anyway.

He Yinchuan and Zhou Ao walked in the front.

The other three trailed behind them, habitually keeping a tactical distance.

Military doctor Liang Shu asked him softly, "Aren't you following?"

Lu Bifang: "This is also a safe zone. I will follow you to find some supplies and see what is useful. I will give them priority in a while."

As he said that, Lu Bifang couldn't help turning his head, looking at the three people who were still standing by the window, whispering.

Liang Shu: "...Xiao Lu?"

The reason why Lu Bifang left was because he had something to say.

He was afraid that after the mission really started, he would have no chance to speak.

Liang Shu was slim and slender, and Lu Bifang didn't need to bow his head much to whisper to her, "Sister Liang. I seem to have seen that person before."

Liang Shu: "Who?"

Lin Zhisong took the conversation: "You mean the art teacher?"

Lu Bifang looked at him in surprise, and said, "No. It's that foreign man."

Lin Zhisong let out an oh, and turned his head away.

Due to his personality, he has no interest in people he doesn't pay attention to, and he doesn't even want to give him a look.

Fortunately, Lu Bifang has a generous personality and didn't notice his awkwardness at all: "I think he looks very familiar."

"Yeah." Liang Shu trusted the judgment of the second-to-last youngest member of the team, "You follow them first. Think carefully and don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Liang Shu turned to Lin Zhisong, who was the youngest from the bottom: "And you. What did you find?"

Lin Zhisong's light-colored, thin lips with a sharp shape dangled in front of Lin Zhisong's eyes.

He thought about it: "...I will also think about it slowly."

……

Here, Li Yinhang finally figured out that Nan Zhou wasn't just pretending.

She became anxious: "what's going on?"

Jiang Fang held Nan Zhou's waist: "Altitude sickness caused by high altitude. No matter what your body is, you can't stop it."

Li Yinhang patted his chest: "Fortunately, I met them." If their teammates at the stall this time were Xie Xiangyu and his like, they might be immediately abandoned to sacrifice to heaven.

"The tinnitus is severe." Nan Zhou covered his ears, "What dungeon mission?"

Li Yinhang: ...Is it so serious?

But she didn't say much, just adding to the anxious atmosphere.

She ran to the nearest room, fetched a thick and hard black blanket, and covered Nan Zhou completely, and then opened the door closest to them after asking Jiang Fang's consent with her eyes. The window that has cracked like a spider web from the center.

Nan Zhou always thought that the snow-white to flood-lit exterior scene just now was all caused by the terrifyingly large full moon.

It wasn't until the moment the window opened that he really saw the situation outside.

Before seeing its shape, first hear its sound.

Before the window opened, Nan Zhou heard a faint low tone, like whimpering, or the music of bagpipes.

The moment the window opened, he realized that it was just the sound of the wind.

Continuous, endless wind.

Even though he was well prepared, Nan Zhou still shuddered severely.

The endless crystal snow-capped mountains stood in front of him like a group of monsters crawling and resting quietly.

Even the leaden gray clouds were seized by the low temperature, making it difficult to flow and frozen in the sky.

The oncoming snow choked into his lungs, causing Nan Zhou to cough suddenly.

Every time he coughed, his cheeks became paler and more transparent.

It almost blends in with the snow-white sky outside.

Jiang Fang gently pressed his chest through the blanket, and quickly closed the window with the other hand.

When the moonlight was partially cut off, Nanzhou's condition improved slightly.

Pressing the blanket with his red fingers, he leaned against the blackened window frame, coughing until the end of his eyes were red.

... My whole body was sore, my muscles trembled, and I couldn't exert any strength.

He hates this feeling.

Nan Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the corners of his moist lips with the back of his hand, and asked, "What's the name of the dungeon?"

Jiang Fang replied: "'Full moon fear'."

Nan Zhou recalled the name for a while.

He asked again, "Game time?"

Jiang Fang: "We need to find enough supplies in this building. Two hours later, the task will officially start. After the start, the dungeon will last a total of 12 hours."

……12 hours?

Nan Zhou seemed to have a feeling: "...Then, the task?"

Jiang Fang raised his hand, through the window, and pointed to Nan Zhou some black windshields hidden in the wind and snow.

"In 12 hours, race against one of the mountaineering teams there. Whoever leads wins."
