Chapter 29: Shadow of Terror
Such a weirdo has actually heard of the Commander's story?
Xiong Wei's eyes flickered, and he silently raised Su Xia's level in his heart.
He and Su Xia have a mutually beneficial relationship. The higher Su Xia's prestige, the more beneficial it is to him.
In fact, Su Xia didn't expect that the promotional video would have such a big impact on the players.
At this time, Lin Shan asked excitedly: "Commander, do you have a mission for me?"
Wow, you’re asking for tasks right after we just met. How rude.
Su Xia was about to refuse, after all, he had not yet understood the task mechanism, but a series of prompts suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Facing new players, severely destroying them may be a good choice]
[You can issue tasks to players]
[You can get a certain amount of 'Titanium Particles' every day to reward players who complete tasks. The amount depends on your own combat power.]
[You can also give your own 'Titanium Particles' and other items as rewards to players]
In front of Su Xia, the titanium anion particle quota provided by the game system appeared. The current quota was 5,000.
Unfortunately, he himself cannot use these titanium particles.
Small numbers are also restricted.
"Since it can only be used by players, we must cultivate some confidants."
Looking at these guys in front of him, Su Xia thought a lot.
The Oasis camp is no longer safe.
The hidden Zerg crisis is just one of them.
Players will communicate with each other, and it won't be long before players from outside know about the existence of the Oasis Camp. If players from outside join the Mechanical Camp, the news will be known to the Mechanical Clan.
The rest of the resistance gathering places faced the same situation.
The arrival of the players directly broke the original balance of this world and brought the next war one step closer.
"The human race can no longer afford to develop in a compromising manner. We must face the war head on."
Enormous pressure and sense of urgency hang over the entire human race.
And these players who are not afraid of death are the key factor to victory.
Thinking of this, Su Xia put his hands behind his back and asked Lin Shan in an extremely serious tone: "Lin Shan, are you willing to fight for the human race?"
"I do!"
Lin Shan immediately put on a serious expression.
He had intended to deal with it and get the mission as soon as possible, but he suddenly felt a strange sense of honor and epicness in his heart.
Seeing this, Xiong Wei walked up to Su Xia and asked in a low voice: "Commander, how do you think we should deal with these weirdos?"
"Let them move freely." Su Xia had no choice but to say this.
The players are lawless and cannot be restricted at all.
It is better to guide them than to block them. We can only guide them slowly.
At this moment, a guard hurried over and whispered in Xiong Wei's ear: "Boss, the child may have been killed."
Xiong Wei's face suddenly changed and he asked, "Why do you say that?"
The guard replied: "We only found a bloody shoe."
"What happened?" Su Xia asked.
"It's Boss Shu's child." Xiong Wei was full of worry. "When we had dinner tonight, the child didn't come back. Boss Shu was a little worried, so he asked me to help look for him, but now... Alas..."
Boss Shu, also known as Shu Cheng, is the mechanic who repaired Su Xia's armor.
Xiong Wei took the shoe from the guard and handed it to Su Xia.
The entire shoe was stained brown with blood and was almost torn in half by some strange force. It was hard to imagine what had happened to the child.
"Where were the shoes found?" Su Xia became alert and thought of the Zerg hiding in the camp.
This is the nature of insects.
They prefer weak prey.
Injured people and underage children all look weak in the eyes of insects.
"Commander, only you and I, and a few guards know about this now." Xiong Wei lowered his voice. "I suspect it was these weirdos who did it, but they all look very weak, and the kid was carrying the self-defense mechanical weapon given to him by Boss Shu. Even a normal adult can't hurt him."
"Take me to where I found the shoes."
Su Xia's face was heavy, and she clutched her blood-stained shoes tightly.
The old guy Xu Yuncang is of a very high level and has strong self-control. He passed by the hot spring room several times but held back. It shouldn't be him.
But it’s hard to say about other insects.
Low-level insects have low IQs and weak self-control.
"The shoes were found in the forest in the southeast corner of the camp. We left two people there to guard it." The guard led the two men and spoke as they walked.
The sky was dark. It was okay that there were lights in the camp, but the forest was pitch black and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
The towering trees blocked out the sky, and you couldn't even see the moon when you looked up.
The crisscrossing roots lock in moisture, and the soil underfoot is moist and soft, making it easy to leave footprints.
This area was originally very safe, but because of the sudden bloody incident, it added a frightening and weird feeling. It seemed that there were deformed monsters hiding in the darkness around it that were ready to devour anyone.
The group gradually moved away from the camp, and the world behind them was swallowed up by the cold darkness.
After more than ten minutes, they arrived at the top of a slope with higher terrain.
Here, you can clearly see a pool of residual blood.
"The shoes were found here, and there is nothing else." The guard said, "The low bushes around have signs of being broken, which may be some kind of large animal, but we did not find any animal footprints, only these..."
He squatted down, illuminated the ground with a flashlight, and pointed at the triangular depressions on the ground.
These depressions, deep or shallow, were imprinted on the soft soil and extended forward into the invisible darkness.
Along the way, you can see sporadic bloodstains.
Seeing these triangular depressions, Su Xia raised his vigilance to the extreme and was basically certain that they were bugs!
These are the traces of movement left by the insect's sharp exoskeleton limbs.
"By the way, why are you the only one here?" the guard suddenly asked, "Didn't we leave both of you here? Where did the other guy go?"
"That guy was brave and followed these triangular traces," said the man who stayed behind.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the darkness in the distance.
"ah--"
Hearing this voice, everyone was shocked.
Xiong Wei and Su Xia looked at each other, took out their weapons at the same time, and ran towards the place where the scream came from.
The prophecy of death did not give any warning, indicating that the enemy in the darkness did not have the ability to kill Su Xia.
At the same time, Xiong Wei loudly ordered the guards in the rear: "Tell everyone in the camp to be careful not to enter the forest tonight! As for those weirdos..."
"It doesn't matter about those weirdos." Su Xia added, "They are not afraid of death, just let them do whatever they want."
"good!"
Xiong Wei nodded and was about to add two more points.
But suddenly, a terrifying figure jumped out from the darkness at an incredible speed and took away Su Xia who was beside him in an instant.
"What the hell?!"
Xiong Wei was so frightened that the hairs on his body stood on end.
He only felt something flash before his eyes, he didn't even see the other person's specific appearance, and then Su Xia beside him disappeared!
Gone!
