Chai Feng has been in Smiley City for 215 days.
Many players of his generation or those who started earlier than him are basically dead.
215 days, 34 games.
He may be the one who has experienced the most copies among all the surviving players, but he is still hovering between third and fourth in the rankings, and has a huge gap with Song Yang, who is in first place.
Just because he is not a very smart person.
He didn't have a brain that could follow the copy's thinking, nor did he have a strong and flexible body. The only things he had were caution, patience, and greed.
In the 34 games, one-star dungeons accounted for nearly half.
If it were someone else, they would move on to the next star level after playing a one-star dungeon once or twice, but he stayed in one-star dungeons for more than a hundred days before he dared to challenge a two-star dungeon.
Chai Feng was very aware of his disadvantages, so he needed to save Song Yang until last and kill him, just because he needed Song Yang's brain.
But when he saw the button being pressed on the top of the mountain and realized that the situation was beyond his control, he fell into a passive situation.
There was one last robot among them, but he didn't know who it was.
He couldn't even question it in front of everyone, otherwise his plan would be exposed.
Six players, one last mountain search.
Divided into three groups, he can choose Zhao Mingjing to stay with him, thus ensuring his safety, but Song Yang will inevitably be separated from him, which will be troublesome if a fight really breaks out.
Divided into two groups, Song Yang, Xia Jing and Tang Yi have automatically formed a team, and there is one more person, Deng Kai, in his group. He is not sure whether Deng Kai will be the robot, and he will still be separated from Song Yang.
Actions are hindered, danger factors are uncertain, and everything becomes more complicated.
Finally he suggested that everyone act together.
The rain was pouring down, and an eerie atmosphere hung over everyone.
In fact, on the way to Xishan, Chai Feng had already felt that something was wrong.
If he had been alert enough at the time, he might have known that the sense of crisis rising in his heart came from the premonition that the head-harvesting plan might fail.
He didn't realize it until now, but it was too late.
…
It was only 6:30 in the evening in summer, but the sky was as dark as midnight.
The heavy rain continued to fall, and many fallen leaves and branches flowed down the mountain along the streams formed by the rain. In this muddy place, Song Yang and Xia Jing walked over with flashlights to check Deng Kai's body.
The remaining metal was lodged in his throat.
Tang Yi followed and swallowed his saliva and asked, "When exactly was Brother Deng replaced?"
Song Yang and Xia Jing didn't say anything. After checking, they took Tang down the slope.
There was no cliff at the bottom of the slope, but another flat land, which also led to the North Mountain and did not hinder their movements.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Chai Feng began to struggle.
He finally began to feel scared and roared, "Song Yang—Song Yang, I know I was wrong, it was my fault! Can you forgive me? Please help me!"
Zhao Mingjing and Shen Bai were still holding him down tightly, one on each side.
There was no light in the eyes of the two men, and they had completely turned into killing machines. They pressed their weapons down hard, trying to chop Chai Feng off here.
Chai Feng had never been to a safe house, and he had to take out all the props from the space bag himself to use. However, the fact was that if he wanted to move at this moment, he had to resist violently, and once he resisted violently, he would be punished by the system.
It is extremely ironic that he has brought this situation upon himself.
Song Yang stopped and turned sideways.
Chai Feng couldn't see his face clearly due to the darkness and rain. He only heard his cold voice saying calmly, "How do you want me to help you?"
Chai Feng's heart was beating fast.
If he stayed here, he might be able to hold on until Song Yang dealt with the main monster and get the chance to leave the dungeon.
But this also means that he has completely put his life and death in the hands of others - what if Song Yang fails in the end?
Chai Feng was born unable to completely trust anyone else. The only person he could trust was himself.
He couldn't accept having his life or death decided by others.
Chai Feng raised his head and the rain slid down his cheeks.
He knew that he must be in a mess at this moment, but he couldn't care less.
He forced a smile, looked at Song Yang expectantly, and said, "Can you use the supernatural rebound item again? If you return the control of the two of them to me, I will immediately make them run away and never let them bother you again. This way, no one of us will get hurt, and no one will be punished by the system, okay?!"
Xia Jing, who was standing behind Song Yang, looked a little surprised when he heard this.
He was surprised that an ordinary human being could be so shameless.
Tang Yi seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
And Song Yang moved.
His voice was cold: "Do you really think I'm a fool?"
This time, he did not stop for Chai Feng, and slid down the slope with Xia Jingtang without hesitation.
Chai Feng froze, and then his eyes became bloodshot.
He roared at their backs and struggled, but Shen Bai and Zhao Mingjing pressed harder. Chai Feng was panting like a cow and his eyes were bloodshot.
The other end.
After the three of them went down the slope, the first thing they saw was Deng Kai's bloody head rolling to the side.
His cap was still on his head and his eyes were closed.
Tang Yi didn't dare to look any longer. He followed Xia Jing and Song Yang closely and walked towards the broken glass.
Broken glass was scattered in a pile of grass. The three of them used flashlights to quickly pick up the broken glass piece by piece.
Song Yang warned: "Be careful with your hands, don't get cut."
It took them a few minutes to put the broken glass together.
There are dozens of glass fragments in total, two of which are very clearly visible three-dimensional right-angle structures.
Xia Jing said: "The original form of these glasses should be the same as those robot protection chambers, a cubic structure."
Tang Yi quickly thought: "Then this thing should have been the same as those protective chambers, with a logo printed on one side!"
One side of the protective cube is printed with a spider-like pattern, which represents the robot.
If these pieces of glass are part of the main monster's vehicle, then one or two pieces of glass should have patterns representing the main monster's identity printed on them!
However, the three men searched through all the glass fragments but still could not find any clues to their target.
These glasses look like ordinary glasses, thrown here by unknown passers-by.
Song Yang stood up and pointed out the truth in a deep voice: "These fragments are incomplete."
Tang Yi was stunned: "Did the fragments fall somewhere else? Let's look around!"
He parted the grass to look for the rest of the fragments, but saw another trace hidden among the leaves.
Tang Yi immediately focused the flashlight on that spot and shouted through the rain, "Brother Song, Brother Xia, something's not right here!"
Song Yang and Xia Jing walked over together and saw countless tiny holes in the soil under the grass.
These holes are much deeper than the footprints left by the robots, and most of them are about to be submerged by rain. If Tang Yi had discovered them later, these traces might have disappeared completely.
At this time, they could see very clearly that the tracks of these holes extended forward.
It was as if something had fallen here. After crawling out from the broken glass protective cover, it took root in the soil and fled into the distance step by step!
Tang Yi whispered, "Is this the main monster's escape route? We have to follow these traces!"
At this moment, the ground beneath their feet suddenly lit up, and light poured down from above their heads.
A meal for three people.
Is the heavy rain about to end and the dark clouds beginning to disperse?
wrong--
They turned quickly and looked up, only to see a strong white light bursting out from the top of the mountain.
The white light illuminated the night sky, and then a silver-white disc-shaped aircraft slowly rose into the air and rotated in the light.
Tang Yi exclaimed, "The main monster took the UFO away?!"
Xia Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "No."
From their perspective, they could clearly see that the windshield of the UFO control room turned towards them, and then the UFO actually moved towards them -
"The UFO officially started up, but instead of leaving, it flew towards the mountain. This means the main monster isn't in the UFO at all. The aircraft started up automatically! The second button pressed is the start button. As long as the energy is full, the aircraft will start flying autonomously!"
"——This aircraft is here to welcome the main monster!"
A distorted and hoarse voice sounded from the slope.
Chai Feng stood there, his body covered in mud and water, his face splattered with blood, his eyes were crazy, and he looked like a ghost.
Tang Yi screamed in fright.
Chai Feng stared at Song Yang below with a sinister look and sneered, "Didn't expect me to follow you? You caused me to be deducted a full thousand points, Song Yang."
Song Yang was unmoved and said calmly: "Then congratulations, you can solve the problem without killing them."
If Chai Feng killed Shen Bai and Zhao Mingjing, the punishment given by the system would definitely not be as simple as deducting points.
As soon as Song Yang said this, Chai Feng's expression became even more distorted - how long would it take him to accumulate these 1,000 points!
At this moment, Chai Feng wished he could tear Song Yang into pieces.
Tang Yi's face was pale.
He looked at the two groups of people, anxious, and mustered up the courage to say: "If the main monster is still in the mountains, then we should quickly follow these traces to track it? Otherwise, the UFO will get there first--"
Before he could finish his words, Chai Feng rushed towards him and jumped down!
Before Tang Yi could react, Song Yang blocked Chai Feng's attack for him and knocked Chai Feng away.
Chai Feng immediately got up, panting and said sinisterly, "Song Yang, you're going to fight me for points to the bitter end, right?!"
He pointed at Tang Yi and said, "You're willing to fight me and deduct points just to chop off the main monster's head yourself?!"
Tang Yi was stiff.
He opened his mouth and said dully, "...Main culprit? Uncle Chai, are you talking about me?"
Strong winds swept through the mountains and forests, and the UFO was about to move over their heads.
The surrounding trees were shaken left and right by the strong wind, making a violent rustling sound and casting patches of ghostly shadows.
The four people occupied three places.
Song Yang and Tang Yi stood together, facing Chai Feng.
Xia Jing stood outside the three people.
He looked at them, while also silently paying attention to another corner.
Amidst the raging storm, Chai Feng sneered, "Stop pretending, kid! I admit that I wanted to use Xia Jing to kill you just now for your head points, but now it's different! At this point, even without the pattern on the glass fragments, I should be able to guess the identity of the main monster!"
"I've been thinking about this on the way here. The name of this dungeon is 'Bionics'. All the secondary monsters attack players by killing them and disguising themselves as them. This is indeed bionic, but how could a dungeon be named after a secondary monster?"
"Now everything finally makes sense!"
"The truth is—'Bionic' refers to both the secondary monster and the main monster! The main monster in this dungeon attacks players by the same pattern of killing and then disguising, but its disguising technique is even more advanced than the secondary monster's!"
Chai Feng stared straight at Tang Yi: "The UFO is here to welcome the main monster. The fact that it's flying in this direction is enough to prove that the main monster is among us."
"You're the only one of us whose identity is in doubt, kid!"
The moment the words fell, a dazzling white light fell from above their heads.
The huge disc-shaped machine silently stopped in the air above them.
Chai Feng raised his hand, gripped the gun, and pointed it in the direction of Song Yang and Tang Yi: "Song Yang, you'd better get out of my way. The highest clearance score in this dungeon is mine."
Song Yang looked at him and said calmly, "Most of your analysis is correct. I also thank you for excluding Xia Jing and me without a second thought and placing your suspicion on someone else, but the main culprit is definitely not Tang Yi."
Chai Feng froze, his facial muscles twitching. He roared, "You're still trying to trick me after all this?! Besides the three of us, this little brat is the only one left alive in this dungeon! Is there anything else in this place that the main monster could use as a disguise?!"
"He's not kidding you."
The young man's clear voice sounded beside him.
Chai Feng looked over subconsciously and was then stunned.
The young man stood aside.
He lowered his head and looked at Deng Kai's head which was stepped on by him.
The young man said with a half-smile, "Don't go, Commander."
