Chapter 501: Bunker Terror (15)
"I didn't find it. That guy must be no simple person."
"Why do I feel like he knows our location? We have no way of detecting his attacks in advance. If the weapons he used weren't junk, we would have probably suffered a loss."
"The person who attacked us led us back. He probably wanted us to meet the team in the underground area. From this point of view, it is basically certain that he is from another German team. He wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife and then obtain the qualification to pass the level. If that's the case, should we still go down?"
"I have the same question. If we go down, won't we be led by the nose?"
"Although the trap I set has been destroyed, I am not sure whether the guy who ambushed us before has really entered here... Wait!"
During the conversation, the five people suddenly realized one thing, that is, if the other party did not actually enter the passage of cell No. 11, but only destroyed the trap blocking the passage, then the other party may have set up an ambush at the exit of the passage. Although the weapons used in their previous attacks were all rubbish, no one believed that they were the real weapons of the other party. If the situation is really as they thought, then it will not be easy to get out now.
"Damn it! It's my fault. If I hadn't been so drunk at the time, I wouldn't have thought of this level!"
"It's too late to say this now, and we can't blame you entirely. After all, none of the five of us thought of this when we entered the passage."
"So what should we do now? How about I use a skeleton soldier to scout the way? Maybe we are overthinking it."
"The team that has survived until now is definitely not a fool. We must be mentally prepared. The solutions we can think of may not be impossible for other teams. To be on the safe side, we'd better stay here for now."
"Then do we still need to go down and explore? After all, there are two teams down there now... Wait! Look at the system!"
Just as everyone in the Quackery Club was blaming themselves for making the wrong choice on impulse, Zhao Mingkai noticed some changes. On the system panel of the Infinite City, the number of remaining players showed a significant change.
"The remaining teams in the current instance are: 4."
"Number of players remaining in the current instance: 10."
"Remaining troops in the German camp: 2."
"Remaining troops in the French camp: 2."
"Number of people remaining in the German camp: 4."
"Number of French troops remaining: 6."
The sudden change in the number of people immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Quack Society. Based on the reduction in the number of people, they analyzed some possibilities and began to discuss the change in the number of people while keeping an eye on the surroundings.
"The number of people in the German camp has been reduced by half? What happened? Did the team below encounter enemy casualties, or did the team above have an internal conflict with the French team that they temporarily allied with?"
"I think both possibilities exist. There is only one person left in the other French team in our camp. They originally had three people. We have probably been to all the locations inside the bunker, except for the area with the third generator whose exact location is unknown. There are not many types of mutant monster enemies inside the bunker, and most of them are not powerful enemies. The team that can survive until now will definitely not lose members because of these enemies. So if there is only one person left in the French team above, it must be related to the other German team. They probably had a fight, and the remaining player in the French camp should have run away. After all, there are still two teams in the German camp."
"There are only four people in the two teams of the German camp. If you are right, and we speculate in a reasonable way, then the remaining number of people in the two German teams should still be the same, two people in each team. The team with more people below must have encountered some powerful enemy, resulting in a large number of casualties."
"But if there are this many people, according to our experience, the person who led us here should be the player from the German team above. That means there are only two people in the bunker now. If the French player above ran away, it means that the person from the German team is stronger than him?"
"It seems like this now. After all, the person who led us down here would not have the time to participate in the battle. Of course, the premise is that he really entered the passage."
"The German team below lost members, probably because they triggered a hidden mission and faced a difficult and dangerous enemy. It's understandable that they lost so many members, but why did the two teams above fight? Even if their alliance is loose and not solid, fighting among themselves at this time will do them no good at all, right?"
"Perhaps the French troops above have discovered the German troops' little movements?"
"You mean the French player team had already discovered us nearby, and then discovered that the German player team deliberately led us away?"
"Generally speaking, other than this possibility, I can't think of any reason why they would fight among themselves at this time."
"But now our team has gained the upper hand. Our number is equal to the sum of the other three teams. As for our strength, I am quite confident in our own ability. Do we not need to be overly cautious? Of course, I am not saying that we should act completely recklessly now, but I think we should be bolder than before."
"I think what Fatty said makes sense. The two teams below should both be from the German camp. So no matter which team we encounter, there is no need to fight them. Even if we encounter two teams together, even if we randomly choose one team to fight, according to the requirements for clearing the dungeon, the other team will most likely not help the other team."
"That's right, and there's only one person left in the French camp. As long as we don't encounter enemies that can cause a large number of casualties in the German camp, we shouldn't suffer any casualties in this instance. Even if the guy up there is still alive, we can't possibly lose with five of us fighting one, right?"
"No, players with that level of ability will not come to this kind of dungeon. Even if they want to come, the opponents matched by the system will be enemies of the same level and quality as them."
The reduction in the number of remaining players is a good thing for the players of the Quack Doctors' Association. Now they are the strongest player team in this dungeon. They have a complete number of players, no one is injured, they are in good condition, and they have enough ammunition. As long as they are a little careful, it is only a matter of time before they can clear the dungeon.
Now the situation of other teams is no longer something that the Yackt Doctors need to worry about. Without the interference from other teams, they can finally concentrate on their original job, which is to explore all kinds of information about this new copy.
After this period of time, the people in the Quackery Association also realized that although the bunker area above was very different from the original ordinary copy and there were many new types of enemies, in the final analysis, there was actually nothing interesting inside the bunker except for the enemies. To complete the main task, in addition to having to fight with other player teams in the same camp, the main task itself was actually not difficult at all. You only need to find the main body of the explosives, detonators and detonators. Although their locations are not fixed, there is not only one set of explosives. If there was no rule that only one team from each camp could pass the level, it would probably take at most two hours to pass this new copy. These two hours were because this was a new copy and no one was familiar with the terrain. Otherwise, the time should be shorter.
It can even be said that if you just want to complete the main quest, you don't need to discover the underground area at all, but the rules of the game clearly encourage players to fight each other. Before this new dungeon is fully understood by players, there will definitely be some players who have experience in the game and use the information gap to increase their team's advantage. Sooner or later, someone will discover the underground area and use this area and the dangerous enemies inside to deal with other inexperienced teams. For example, this time, including the Quack Club, three teams discovered the underground area.
The five members of the Quack Club were confident in their own strength, but not arrogant. They did not think that they would be able to fully explore the entire underground area this time, not only because the underground area was much larger than the bunker above, but also because they did not know what the enemies below were like, what the missions were, and whether there were any special rules. So no one was prepared to complete the hidden missions below this time, but they thought that it would be best to collect more useful information. Even if the final mission rewards in the underground area did not improve their strength, they could pass on the experience to the players in the guild who needed them.
"Then it's decided. Since the remaining player teams basically pose no threat to us, let's continue exploring downwards according to the original plan."
"Well, but we still have to be careful. After all, if we can reduce the number of members of that team, there must be danger. After all, there must be no fools in the team that has remained until now."
After making preparations, the five members of the Quack Doctor Society returned to the fork in the road they had originally discovered. Just as they were preparing to avoid the trap and enter the fork in the road, they discovered that the trap inside had been triggered by someone, and the direction in which the triggered trap led to was actually a secret passage that no one had discovered before.
"Has the team below come up yet?"
"Not necessarily. It could also be the work of the guy who led us back here. There's no blood on these traps, not even a piece of clothing. This guy must be very skilled. Maybe he's a speed player?"
"And this hidden secret passage, I remember that it looked like an ordinary wall at this location before, and there was no obvious mechanism on it. The only thing that looked like a mechanism was a torch stand, which we tried, but it didn't work. But this person figured out how to open this secret passage. He must have some special reconnaissance ability or props. Combined with the traps that were triggered before but left no traces, and the fact that we were ambushed before but failed to discover the other party before the attack, the other party is most likely an assassin with strong reconnaissance capabilities, or at least a similar profession, but I think it should be different from Pei Lan's profession."
"That's right. Most assassins use throwing weapons to some extent, but basically no one uses guns. Compared to the assassin profession, I think he may be more like a gunner like Wuzhitu."
"Wuritu, a gunner with a certain speed, considerable reconnaissance ability, and the ability to use projectiles accurately. What impression do you have of him?"
"Yes, but these descriptions are too broad. If I only use these few points, I will meet these requirements. After all, to be honest, these points are not very difficult. In fact, these requirements are basically the basic abilities of a professional gunner player of my level."
Although they had no way to infer the other party's profession, they believed that the other party must be extraordinary. In fact, they were not wrong, but the serious discussion of the quack doctor club made the players who watched their live broadcast of the game very happy.
Unlike the quacks who were tricked by Han Zu several times in the real dungeon, Han Zu's deliberate acting and disguise, coupled with the interference of the contractor's equipment to the Infinite City system to a certain extent, in the eyes of the players watching the live broadcast, Han Zu was just a novice player who was unlucky enough to be involved in the dungeon of high-level players. In their view, Han Zu, who deliberately performed poor skills, showed the real situation. In the eyes of the quacks, it seemed that they knew their specific location and the ambush was just that the novice "Adenauer" didn't know if there was any danger ahead, and used the grenades he found to explore the way. After all, according to the cognition of normal people, in this dungeon under the background of war, these grenades, guns and ammunition are the lowest level things. Even except for novice players, no one would regard them as supplies, let alone weapons.
The reason why other people watching the live broadcast regarded Han Zu as an unlucky newbie who had no idea what he was doing was actually because Han Zu used the contractor's equipment and deliberately modified some things that might make others notice that something was wrong, such as his head-shotting shooting skills, his strategy of playing dead, and his use of mutant rats to open blocked passages.
As for how he triggered those traps in a reasonable way and found the hidden passage, it was just that he pretended to be a novice and threw stones at the fork in the road, which triggered a large number of traps. When he carefully avoided the triggered traps, he pretended to trip over the triggered traps on the ground and then bumped into the mechanism that opened the secret passage. In the eyes of others, "Adenauer" was able to reach this place by accident.
Therefore, the serious discussion of the Quack Club was seen by these players as a battle of wits and courage between them and the air, as they did not understand the other party's situation. Naturally, it was ridiculous. This naturally shifted the attention of most players watching the live broadcast from "Adenauer" to the Quack Club. Many people said that this was a case of a fool defeating a master, so naturally no one would care about a hapless novice.
