Chapter 158 Meeting
The top of the mountain is still gray, the historical process has collapsed, and even the plants in the mountain are dyed strangely, becoming quite unusual.
For example, the green pines in the mountains grow too tall, probably because there are few people in this historical process, and the vegetation has not been polluted or over-cut, and can grow without excessive human intervention.
At this moment, a translucent human figure and a translucent little dragon quickly passed between the green pines and bushes. Their figures were extremely fast and disappeared in an instant.
The person among them is of course Gao Shan.Xiaolong followed him in order to cover for him, and the two cooperated to complete the task.
The area where Zhou Qian was located was being surrounded by the green and purple camps summoned by the two legions, gradually forming a situation where no one could enter or leave.
But this kind of encirclement can't stop a ghost that can transform into a transparent form at any time, and a small dragon that is extremely fast, can hide its body shape, and can even transform into scales at any time.
The two figures quickly disappeared into the vast mountains.
After a while, Zhou Qian held up his left wrist and saw two consecutive messages from the system, all about the change in the number of wristbands.
【橙-9个；黄-21个；绿-25个；蓝-13个；靛-12个；紫-25个】
【橙-8个；黄-21个；绿-25个；蓝-10个；靛-11个；紫-25个】
Two simple messages revealed extremely unusual information.
Before Gao Shan left, Zhou Qian saw 17 more blues. In a short period of time, the number decreased by 4, and then decreased by 3.
How is this similar to what happened with the orange wristband in the first place?
There is a high probability that four more people refused to obey and did not believe that the other party could really shoot, so they were killed immediately.
Anyway, Taohong and the Fit Legion have decided to kill people, after all, there is a "maximum" setting for the number of people in the dungeon.So even if the total number of weapons is limited, there is no difference between using them early or later.
"Brother Zhou, you see, I have always thought that I am not a good person. But when I came to this game, I realized that there are many more people who are worse than me. For Xu Yang and the people of the Taohong Army, violence can only be controlled with violence."
Zhou Qian said, "Four more people should have died. I hope Gao Shan can make good use of this."
Bai Zhou reached out and pinched Zhou Qian's shoulder, then stood up. "I have to go again."
Yin Dao, Qi Liuxing, and He Xiaowei are going to take the risk of collecting information from the purple camp, and Gao Shan wants to persuade the players who are alone, or even those who have joined the two camps, to go to Zhou Qian, the currently powerless yellow camp...
For them, these tasks are unprecedentedly dangerous.
The difficulty of the task itself is already extremely high, and after completing it, whether they can return unscathed will also become a problem.
But looking around, there must have been many blockades around this place. Unlike Gaoshan, Bai Zhou can turn into a completely invisible spirit body at any time, and he has lost all his skills. How can he break through the siege unscathed?
Zhou Qian immediately stood up, with worry in his eyes.
Bai Zhou looked at him and said, "They trust you, and you don't say it, but I know that you have made a promise in your heart to save their lives, and I also know that you will care about their safety.
"So, they are responsible for completing the tasks you have given us, and I am responsible for bringing them back to you safe and sound."
He Xiaowei, Qi Liuxing, and even Gao Shan, they can now trust Zhou Qian unconditionally.
As for Zhou Qian, he could trust Bai Zhou unconditionally.
Under the gray sky, Zhou Qian stared at Bai Zhou for a long time, then opened his arms towards him.
Bai Zhou lowered his Tang saber with his right hand, and grabbed Zhou Qian's waist forward with one hand on his left, leading him to lean towards him.
The two of them just hugged each other tightly for a moment at this extremely dangerous moment.
Putting his lips next to Bai Zhou's ear, Zhou Qian's voice was a little hoarse. "You are not only my general, you are my god and also my king. Who said that one mountain cannot accommodate two kings? I will wait here for your return."
At this point, Zhou Qian handed the only gun in his hand to Bai Zhou. "Take it."
Bai Zhou naturally refused decisively. "Once the people outside the siege send people in to search and find that I am not there, you are only here alone, and it will be against you. You keep this gun."
"I don't need it." Zhou Qian raised his head, stared at Bai Zhou for a while, and then smiled at him, "You forgot that you still have that weird pollen on you. Once I am in danger, I will go to your side immediately. So, this gun is handed over to you. It is in your hands to exert its greatest effectiveness."
Now Zhou Qian doesn't know the exact number of the Peach Red Legion and the Fit Legion, but he can make a simple calculation based on the current overall situation.
There are a total of 100 players who came to this dungeon.
Many people chose to stay, probably because the rewards were too attractive.
Tao Hong and the Fit Legion came here with a very clear goal, but most of the ordinary players didn't even know what the collapse of Blue Harbor City meant and how cruel this dungeon would be.
Among the 100 players, the number of deaths that can be roughly calculated through the system notification is 9.There are now a maximum of 91 players left alive.
In addition, the total number of oranges has decreased by 17, and 5 of them have died. Then, 12 people will be absorbed by purple or green after taking off the orange wristbands.
Blue has reduced a total of 15 people, of which 4 people are probably dead, so 11 people have been absorbed.
Indigo lost 14 and was absorbed by 14.
In other words, among the 91 players who are still alive, as many as 37 have been absorbed.
Among the remaining 54 players, those who exclude Zhou Qian himself, and those who exclude the Peach Red Legion and the Fit Legion are the ones Zhou Qian mainly wants to win over.
It is not yet known how many people Taohong and Fit brought, but since they got the news in advance and knew the existence of "Maximum", it must not be too many, especially the Taohong army.
Although the Fit Legion is developing rapidly, it is still a small legion after all, and Xu Yang basically has the final say. It is feasible for him to bring in a bunch of cannon fodder and kill them without anyone noticing.
This can also be seen from the fact that he only brought five cronies to meet Zhou Qian.
In contrast, the three people led by his sister Xu Feiyu belonged to cannon fodder.
Because when Xu Feiyu confronted Yindao, he was obviously afraid that Yindao would tell the truth.
At that time, she promised Yindao in a very subtle way that she would not kill him in the end.
Yindao was very "cooperative", and Xu Feiyu was very satisfied without saying much.
But the Pink Legion is different.
The internal power structure of the large army is usually relatively complicated, and they came here with a special mission to kill Zhou Qian, presumably the elites who came here are relatively small in number.
If they really know the answer to the "maximum value" in advance, the number of people they bring should be very close to this maximum value.
"Brother Zhou, after you go out, pay attention to the number of the Pink Army. This is very important. If there are few of them, they will send the answers to the questions directly before our eyes.
"If they have the same number of people...it means they haven't been able to know in advance the question that the system will set the maximum number of people, and naturally they don't know the answer. In this case——"
Zhou Qian raised his eyelids and smiled. "Why the system wants us to kill more people, but didn't announce the specific value at the beginning, the intention behind it is worth thinking about.
"I guess the answer behind this...will be very interesting."
"Well. I know. Be careful when you're by yourself."
Putting his thumb on Zhou Qian's forehead, Bai Zhou lowered his head and kissed him solemnly before turning and leaving.
When he went down the mountain, Zhou Qian stared at his back non-stop.
Even without the blessing of skills, Bai Zhou's speed is extremely fast, his whole body seems to have turned into a knife, even stronger and more indestructible than the Tang knife in his hand.

the other side.
With a dark face, Xu Yang walked forward with his five cronies, and Qi Liuxing, whom he disliked because of Zhou Qian.
On the way, he met a subordinate who was supposed to follow his sister Xu Feiyu.
That subordinate conveyed Xu Feiyu's intentions to him. She is still leading Yin Dao and others to investigate the office building. After the exploration is completed, she will take them to the base camp selected by the purple camp. This area was tricky to explore, so she let Yin Dao and He Xiaowei pass.
Xu Feiyu's intention was nothing more than to let Yindao and He Xiaowei's master and apprentice be responsible for difficult cases.
Xu Yang nodded and looked at him again: "I'll take people back to our base camp first. You go and follow Feiyu and tell her that those two people are dangerous, don't let them talk to anyone. Besides, they are very good at Deception. This dungeon is making everyone kill each other, so don't believe anything they say to sow discord!"
The subordinate took the order and left.
Xu Yang continued to walk forward with the people.
After walking to the area covered by the purple camp, Xu Yang called two more cronies around him. "I went around to see how other people searched for dungeon information. You two brought this man named Qiliuxing back to the base camp. There is a dungeon just below our base camp, so lock him in and keep him under strict surveillance. You two will guard it yourself and prohibit any People approached him and he couldn't talk to anyone."
At this point, Xu Yang looked at Qi Liuxing mockingly: "Want to come to my place to inquire about news? Just dream. You don't want to get out unscathed. I have never seen you come up to die in such a hurry. I think you all followed Zhou Qian's group of lunatics!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Yang led the other three cronies away.
The two cronies continued to press their guns against Qi Liuxing's head and moved forward.
Although everyone is wearing purple wristbands, their actions are not only meaningless, but they will kill themselves if they really shoot, but it is probably to increase deterrence through this action, and the two of them have done a lot in terms of momentum.
After walking out for a while, and passing through another street, they will arrive at an old manor that they occupied after coming here. This is where they used as their base camp.
At this moment, most of the people have been sent out. While they are going to surround the Ziwu Mountain area, they have to explore at the same time. The task is quite heavy.
It is also for this reason that there are not many people here in the base camp at the moment, and it mainly serves as a meeting point.
The street was so quiet at the moment that when a person appeared, the two cronies noticed immediately.
They thought at first that this man was also a purple man.
After all, the area occupied by purple is gradually expanding. They are constantly forcing all the lone players who wander here to become members of the purple camp. Each key position has also sent enough people to defend, and the area around the base camp is all cleaned up. passed.
That is to say, the players who landed near the base camp at the beginning are all forced to turn purple, while other players who are alone are unlikely to come in.
But the pair were visibly shocked when the man raised his hand to reveal a green wristband and raised a gun.While being shocked, they both turned their guns from Qi Liuxing's head to the person opposite, and asked, "Who are you?" "Peach Red Legion? Are you here to seek death?!"
It was not only these two cronies who were shocked, but also Qi Liuxing who was standing beside them.
——It was Ke Yuxiao who came.
However, after a brief shock, Qi Liuxing returned to normal.
He just looked at Ke Yuxiao expressionlessly, his pupils bottomless.
Ke Yuxiao smiled at him comfortably: "Your heart is no longer a fresh, human heart. There is only a cold metal product left there. I thought...you would not be loyal to Zhou Qian like this Yes. Why are you still willing to do this for him?
"Betrayed by me, you wouldn't trust anyone anymore. How can you still trust Zhou Qian? Qi, I'm really more and more curious about you."
Hearing this, the expression on Qi Liuxing's face didn't change at all, but the two confidants looked at each other, and then asked Ke Yuxiao: "You know him and want to save him?"
As if hearing something funny, Ke Yuxiao smiled.
He looked at the two acquaintances and said, "The word 'save' is not used correctly. The last time I met him, I chopped off his head and chopped up his limbs and put them in the soup. I Just to take him away."
The two of them had done a lot of gangsters with Xu Yang, and now hearing Ke Yuxiao say such words with such an expression, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Stop talking nonsense. You can't take people from us."
"Now he is our purple man, and our boss will deal with him personally."
"Wait--" Qi Liuxing was the one who spoke, staring at Ke Yuxiao in front of him, and said to the two people around him, "You should be flexible. Now for your boss Xu Yang, I am actually a trouble. He Telling you to look at me and not letting anyone get close to me is just because I am afraid that I will tell him about betraying others.
"What you are declaring to the outside world now must be that you know what the 'maximum value' is. You will tell them that this number is actually much larger than they thought, so as long as everyone joins the purple, the ending will be happy, right?"
"But you can't guarantee that I won't think of other ways to spread the word later, and then stir up a bloodbath here. After all, as long as it is not a lethal prop, the rest of the props can still be used.
"Besides, Xu Yang has to guard against me collecting information here and bringing it to Zhou Qian. Letting you two capable officers guard me instead of exploring, Xu Yang will suffer a lot. So—"
Staring at Ke Yuxiao for a moment, Qi Liuxing said, "You don't need to follow your boss's order blindly now, and you don't need to waste bullets and die with that person named Ke from the Pink Army.
"It's the best choice for you to let me go to the Pink Army with him."

same moment.Ziwu Mountain.
It was rare for Zhou Qian to sit quietly on a rock.
This kind of dungeon, even the basic communication channels are blocked, Zhou Qian can't get in touch with anyone, everyone can only act by tacit understanding.
Suddenly, under a green pine not far away, a solitary lantern floated.
Under the gray sky, the light of the solitary lamp showed a bit of ghostly color, which seemed to indicate that the visitor was not good.
Then a lamp man appeared.
This is the function of the prop [Lamp of Teleportation], which allows people to spread a message across thousands of miles, just like a face-to-face conversation.It was exactly what Ke Yuxiao had used before.
At this moment, it was a stranger who appeared in front of Zhou Qian with a teleportation lamp.
This person has handsome features, but his expression is somewhat rigid, like an old-fashioned preacher.
He held a lamp and stood alone under the green pine, his eyes were reflected by the gray sky like clouds and fog.
Looking at Zhou Qian, the man smiled and said, "Zhou Qian, it's our first meeting. Hello, I'm a pastor."
