Chapter 20 Boss Level
Feng Ling immediately sat up straight and asked her, "Where?"
"No, I don't know..." Huangfu Miaomiao stuttered, "This is a mission prompt. It won't tell the player the specific location. It will only give a range for the player to explore on their own."
Feng Ling asked: "Is there anything else in the mission prompt? Read it to me."
Huangfu Miaomiao looked at the virtual screen in front of her and read each word to Feng Ling:
"Deep in the dark cave, the monster is already hungry. You need excellent decisiveness and amazing courage to face it. Silence is the prelude to death, and light is the prelude to victory. You will be richly rewarded if you overcome fear. Do you accept the A-level subjugation mission?"
Huangfu Miaomiao finished reading it, her face turned very ugly, "A-level subjugation mission... If it is A-level, it means that there are leader-level pollutants among the subjugation targets."
Feng Ling listened carefully and asked, "How powerful is the leader?"
Huangfu Miaomiao looked embarrassed, "I don't know..."
She had never encountered an A-level pollutant, so how could she know how powerful it was? The B-level elite monsters alone were enough to scare her to death.
Huangfu Miaomiao explained: "All the targets that can be killed in the game are divided into five levels: small monsters, elite monsters, bosses, lord bosses, and abyss bosses."
Feng Ling asked: "The Boss is ranked in the middle, so is its strength relatively average?"
Huangfu Miaomiao immediately shook her head like a rattle, "You can't count it that way! Among the five levels, the Abyss is the strongest boss directly generated by the system. There are only a fixed number of them in the world, and it is almost impossible to encounter them. Even if you encounter them, you can't beat them. They are usually not in the attention range of players, so the boss level is actually very strong! Even the weakest boss has high-level cards and has completed at least 12 digestions!"
Feng Ling pondered silently - her cards were very special, most likely high-level cards, and she had also completed three digestions. So, if that was the case, would the strength of her as a hidden boss be comparable to that of the main boss?
No, that's not rigorous.
Huangfu Miaomiao used the word "at least".
Three times is the minimum. Perhaps this polluted body has been digested five, eight, or even a dozen times.
It must be digested many times, otherwise the pollution value will exceed the standard and become a pollutant.
"Chao Qiangchao discovered an alien species in the tunnel, and you received a mission notification for the contaminated body. This shouldn't be a coincidence." Feng Ling thought for a moment and asked Huangfu Miaomiao, "Is this mission visible only to you, or can all alien species see it?"
"This is a regional mission. All players within the area will receive the message." Huangfu Miaomiao said.
Feng Ling's mouth curled up slightly, "That is to say, we will not only have to face contaminated bodies, but we may also be attacked by alien species."
Huangfu Miaomiao remained silent.
She knew that there were many crazy people among the players. They pursued the thrill of killing and the pleasure of violence. They were ruthless even to their compatriots, let alone the indigenous people of the earth.
Feng Ling took out his cell phone and started typing, feeling the need to share this information with the group.
[Feng Ling: Little Skeleton just received a task reminder that there is a Class A contaminant nearby. I reasonably suspect that the contaminant is related to the discovery of a large number of injured aliens in the super-strong and super-descriptive tunnel.]
【Zhou Chu: Holy crap! 】
[Su Yuqing: Can the location of the pollutant be determined? ]
[Feng Ling: No, the mission information only gives the exploration range.]
[Su Yuqing: @Feng Ling, please share the exploration range with the group. I will ask the technicians to analyze the terrain.]
Feng Ling opened the map app on his phone and handed it to Huangfu Miaomiao: "Draw a range and I'll send it to them."
Huangfu Miaomiao took the phone and felt a little weird.
She thought her name was nice, so why did Feng Ling call her by her name instead of calling her Little Skeleton?
And the people in the group immediately knew that "Little Skeleton" referred to her, without even needing to react for a few seconds...
"It's done." Huangfu Miaomiao returned the phone to Feng Ling.
Feng Ling took a look and found that the scope was quite large. It not only covered the shopping mall, but also the surrounding residential areas and parks.
She took a screenshot and sent it to the group.
【Su Yuqing: Got it.】
[Su Yuqing: I will be responsible for organizing and coordinating the evacuation of residents. You continue to act according to the plan.]
[Zhou Chu: I want rocket launchers!!!] [Su Yuqing: Heavy weapons are Plan-B. If your operation doesn't go smoothly, I will apply for a special operations permit in an emergency to carry out fire bombing in the area.]
[Feng Ling: If the tunnel collapses, we will be buried alive. ]
No one spoke.
The group is cold again.
However, Feng Ling discovered an interesting detail. When she mentioned "polluting body" in the group, neither Su Yuqing nor Zhou Chu asked what the polluting body was.
It seems that the Supervisory Bureau has more intelligence about alien species than she imagined.
Su Yuqing sent a private message.
[Su Yuqing: After this operation is over, I hope you will consider becoming one of us. ]
【Feng Ling: (^_^) Hehe, let’s talk about it later. 】
…………
……
6 o'clock in the morning.
Chao Qiangchao sent a location message in the group, asking everyone to gather at the shopping mall.
When the group arrived at the mall, Chao Qiang Chao sent a second message, narrowing down the location to Area C of the mall's underground second-floor parking lot.
When they arrived at Area C, they lost contact with Chao Qiangchao.
No one replied to my messages and no one answered my phone calls.
If Feng Ling hadn't known from Huangfu Miaomiao that there was a polluted body nearby, he would have almost thought that Chao Qiangchao was playing a prank.
Boom, boom, boom——
A strange sound was heard, echoing in the empty underground parking lot.
Zhou Chu had sharp hearing and immediately realized that the sound came from a nearby rolling door.
They came to the roller shutter door and searched it. The door was not locked and there were messy shoe prints in front of the door, as if some chaos had happened.
Zhou Chu did not open the door, but carefully reported the situation to Su Yuqing first.
Huangfu Miaomiao was nervous. She stuck close to Feng Ling and asked in a low voice, "What's behind the door?"
Feng Ling took a look and said, "This is a privately bought garage, used to park vehicles and also to store tools for car washing."
Just as he finished speaking, the rolling door slammed again!
Huangfu Miaomiao shuddered with fear, her face turned pale, and her hands tightly grasped the corner of Feng Ling's clothes.
Feng Ling turned around and asked Zhou Chu: "When will the door open?"
Compared with before, Zhou Chu seemed like a different person after entering the search state, with all his impetuousness and arrogance suppressed.
He gestured calmly to his team members.
Everyone retreated to the sides and raised their guns.
Zhou Chu stepped forward alone, holding the handle of the rolling door with one hand, and with the other hand he made a ready gesture to the team members behind him: one, two, three——
He pulled the door open with force!
All guns were pointed at the door, ready to suppress any sudden danger.
The rolling door rose up with a loud noise, revealing a huge pit inside!
Zhou Chu was stunned for a moment. He imagined all kinds of situations that might happen after passing the door, but he never expected that there would be a trap!
The angle of the pit was nearly vertical and it was about three or four meters deep. Two men were standing at the bottom of the pit, struggling to lift two bundled and extended shovels.
The sound just now was made by them hitting the rolling door with a shovel.
The man at the bottom of the pit was disheveled. When he saw Zhou Chu, his eyes lit up frighteningly and he said in a hoarse voice, "You guys are here? Come down quickly."
