Chapter 24 But I remember where my prey is
1 month 30 day.

Su Ming changed his weapon.

For those murderers whose physiques are not much different from ordinary people, the only thing to worry about when using a knife is curling the blade.

But facing the unknown BOSS in the fog, he needed better things, as well as detection equipment... protective equipment.

I looked through the map and couldn't find any store selling long bladed knives.

I did find a few watermelon knives. More than half a meter long, it is easier to use than the original boning knife.

An Shiyao's idea of ​​setting an alarm clock to attract murderers... might also be useful for that thing. Find some and put them in your bag.

Replace your shoes with sneakers copied from reality. Although they are fine for walking to work and so on, they are still too inferior for fighting.

Protective gear...Su Ming found motorcycle riding clothes to protect his joints. I feel like if I really need to add stab-proof steel plates or something like that, it would make me bulkier.

The sight line was poor, so it took a lot of time to finally find a telescope with thermal imaging. The price is so expensive...

You can wear a helmet.

Su Ming didn't go to the same place as last time. I was thinking, is there a possibility... with extremely low difficulty, that I can go out directly by avoiding that place?

In the opposite direction, the road conditions were even worse than before.

1 month 31 day.

At around 2 o'clock in the morning, Su Ming arrived at the end of the road in different directions.

Still the same thick fog.

"..."

Different from the last time, Su Ming was able to see red spots in the lens with a thermal imaging telescope... squirming one by one.

Many?
No, those red dots are all parts of the same object. It's just that some are buried under the snow and some are on the surface.

Giant snake?

"..."

Hold the watermelon knife in your hand.

"Crack!"

It did hit. But it seems to be of no use.

The thing easily rolled up along with the ground where Su Ming was standing... and was strangled. There was no time to think, and I felt like my whole body was bleeding.

[Unfortunately, you are dead]

Standing in the snow.

The line of sight is seriously poor... Although the thermal imaging camera can be used, it is too tied to the head and affects movement.

The response should be faster. I suffered the loss of not being able to see clearly.

Su Ming was not afraid.

If you want to complete the task, you have to be calm... Thinking about it carefully, I didn't encounter any setbacks along the way. It is normal for the difficulty to gradually increase slightly in order to get the most perfect reward.

Very low difficulty. The feedback from the watermelon knife actually piercing the monster's body just now... proves that it is not indestructible. If it is really a mutated snake, then it is also seven inches long.

So disgusting.

Just thinking about the whole thing that strangled him just now in his mind made Su Ming feel a little nauseous. He hated snakes and invertebrates.

The only thing I saw in the thermal imaging was it... There was only one in each direction. Was this a bug in the game? As long as I wanted to go out, an individual like it would appear and I had to defeat it?
Gotta figure this out.

2 month 2 day.

Su Ming traveled in different directions in Island City, but everything was the same... No matter which direction he went far enough, the weather would get colder and colder, until it started to snow, and thick fog was also necessary.

Far or near...but I will definitely see it again.

The length of time sometimes varies greatly... The furthest Su Ming even walked was more than 180 kilometers before meeting him.

In other words, it is very likely that it is a monster stipulated in the game that must stop him from getting out. Whenever you reach a certain distance, you will move from a certain direction.

Whether you are looking for a fight or a way to avoid it, it is best to head towards the port. That way, if you win, you can get on the ship and set foot on the channel... to the treasure island that Su Ming is familiar with to see the situation.

2 month 3 day.

After finding a good hotel to rest for the night, Su Ming set out to challenge again.

This time... he planned to use an alarm clock or something like that to see if he could attract the thing's attention and get out opportunistically.

"Grass!"

Useless.

The delay was five or six minutes at most, which was not enough time for Su Ming to find the boat and launch it into the sea in extremely low visibility.

I tried many times in a row, but nothing worked.

[Unfortunately, you are dead]

Only fighting?
The method of death was the same from beginning to end, either strangled or crushed to death. Or it would be whipped away by something like its tail.

For example, when playing a game and encountering a BOSS that only uses fixed moves, can players use repeated file loading to predict?

It just means that in real games, you operate a mouse, keyboard or controller, and you experience a realistic death.

Putting aside the fact that there is not much pain in dying too quickly, if this is the case, it is still in the category of extremely low difficulty.

"Puchi——" After so many times, Su Ming, who had been fighting at the same place, could already dodge the attack of that thing more than a dozen times in a row, and then stab it seven or eight times with his backhand.

[Unfortunately, you are dead]

No need for thermal imaging at all. Facing the vast fog, he knew the next attack.

"……left."

"underground."

"..."

"This time it's in the air."

"Shoveling snow... have you ever learned dirty tricks from others?"

It's like an ant fighting an elephant. Its health bar might be a little thick, or it might just miss the point.

The watermelon knife seemed to be corrosive when exposed to heat, and there was a burning sensation on my wrist.

"Ok?"

After waiting for a long time, Su Ming did not wait for another attack.

Picking up the thermal imaging camera, all I could see were red spots.

When I got closer, it was all liquid dripping from that thing...it was no different from a car's engine oil that had been used for too long, thick and black. No smell. The liquid was quickly covered by heavy snow, and the spots were no longer visible.

"it's over?"

Su Ming frowned, not sure.

You have to dig through the snow to see the body with your own eyes.

"Om..."

Just as Su Ming was about to dig out the snow, his vision suddenly trembled.

still alive?

"Boom."

He didn't react at all, and his cheeks were stained with something cold and biting. The same goes for his body...the snow is wrapped in the black and sticky liquid, corroding his clothes.

Its body exploded.

That's not all.

"..."

"Gudong."

Su Ming swallowed hard.

Observing through thermal imaging... I saw it was all mottled red spots. The avalanche was rushing over in a mighty manner.

"Uh...lu."

It's like the cry of a whale seen in the animal world. Very harsh and painful to the eardrum.

Is this a joke?

According to the rules of the game, should I commit suicide immediately and start over?

Use this watermelon knife to wipe your neck...

[Sorry, you are dead]

【mission failed】

[Current time node: 20160203.02.01]

Before he could wipe his neck, he was trampled to death first.

When he came back to his senses, the ground was still shaking.

Su Ming ran back with all his strength.

The earth, shrouded in snow and fog, trembled violently, as if it was about to change direction with the sky.

What emerged from afar... was not at the same level as what we had faced before. Just like an army of ants, densely packed.

What about playing?
"Uu...lu..."

The eardrum seemed to be punctured and bleeding.

Su Ming was exhausted and avoided the direction of their impact. The body is very tired, but the consciousness is inexplicably excited.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of the avalanche calmed down. Only the cold whistling wind lingered in my ears.

My body was almost stiff from the cold, and I stepped on something.

After digging through the snow...it turned out to be men from the army...they fought and then failed.

I……

Can't remember much.

But I clearly remember my prey. They are all on Zhongxin Lake Road, in a renovated unfinished building.

How to get there? I can't remember it, but I know... there are many prey there that belong to me. Only I know... they are all mine.

It doesn't matter if my eyes can't see or my ears can't hear. I can still remember...the charming aroma that is engraved in my bones.
