Chapter 217: It's Too Big
"Ah! I got it!" Huangfu Miaomiao excitedly pulled Feng Ling's hand.
However, as soon as she said "yes", the exclamation mark above the crow's head disappeared!
"Why is it gone again?!" Huangfu Miaomiao was stunned. She let go of Feng Ling's hand and lifted the birdcage to take a closer look.
The huge and eye-catching golden exclamation mark disappeared completely, as if it was just her illusion.
"Look at the time." Feng Ling said.
李青低头看手机,“……现在是凌晨12点20分,迷宫的开启时段很可能是12点整到12点20分这个区间。”
"Okay, now that we have figured out the location and the time, let's get ready and enter the maze at this time tomorrow night." Feng Ling took the birdcage from Huangfu Miaomiao and said calmly, "To ensure that everything is safe, this crow will stay with us for the time being until the maze opens."
Li Qing looked at the crow and nodded calmly, "Okay, the crow will enter the maze with us. As long as there are players, the maze administrator can open the entrance an unlimited number of times."
He said this to remind Feng Ling that if he encountered dangers that were difficult to resolve in the maze, he didn't have to force his way through.
If he couldn't find the statue once, he would go in twice, three times, and four times... Although he hoped that the crow could return home as soon as possible, for long-term considerations, he hoped that Feng Ling would not act too impulsively.
I just don't know if Feng Ling understood his hidden meaning.
"Let's go back to sleep." Feng Ling walked back with the bird cage, pondering slowly, "There are still a lot of things to do... There is no shortage of food and water, camping tents, and weapons. Su Yuqing packed several boxes for me when I came here. I just don't know what the weather in this maze is like. It shouldn't be a blizzard like in Daling Forest, right?"
Li Qing followed her silently, glanced at the quiet street, and replied: "There shouldn't be extremely bad weather in the maze in the city."
"Come to think of it, you seemed to have said before that most mazes are in places where there are few people, right?" Feng Ling turned around and looked at him.
"That's right." Li Qing nodded, "Only a few mazes appear in densely populated urban areas."
Feng Ling sighed, "The residents of Guangshan City are so unlucky~"
If the aliens were to create a few holes in this maze and the contamination spread, wouldn't all the residents in the city be mutated? This is not a remote town. The permanent population here is several million.
And Feng Shao and Ling Feiran both live here.
It's amazing, just because there are familiar people living here, she seems to have developed a sense of closeness to this city.
At this time, Feng Ling heard Li Qing say: "The residents of Guangshan City are also lucky because we have you."
Feng Ling was suddenly startled and looked back at him in surprise. He never expected that the Taoist priest would actually flatter him!
"What's wrong?" Li Qing asked in confusion, not realizing there was anything wrong with what he said.
"Nothing..." Feng Ling silently stroked the goose bumps on his arms and continued walking forward.
Xu Yiming asked: "Feng Ling, do we have to tell the Supervisory Bureau about the situation in the maze?"
"Yes, we need to notify Han Xu." Feng Ling nodded, "I will contact him tomorrow morning and ask him to clear the pedestrian street in advance to prevent ordinary people from being sucked into the maze when it opens."
Li Qing said: "In order to ensure safety, it is best to clear the entire area within a 3-kilometer diameter centered on the pedestrian street."
Feng Ling smiled and said, "He will be busy tomorrow."
"By the way," she turned to look at Xu Yiming, "I haven't asked you yet, do you want to go into the maze with us?"
Xu Yiming was arranged by Su Yuqing to be the driver, so he didn't need to venture into the maze. However, from Xu Yiming's positive attitude, he obviously wanted to go in, so Feng Ling asked specifically. "I won't be a burden to you guys..." Xu Yiming laughed.
"You can't say it's a burden. Once you enter the maze, your life and death are your own responsibility." Feng Ling suddenly changed his casual attitude and said to him in a serious tone, "But I personally suggest you go in. Hunters don't have professional combat courses and rich practical experience like inspectors. The maze is full of contaminated bodies, which is perfect for practice. It will be very helpful to improve your combat ability."
Xu Yiming thought to himself: You are worthy of me. Using contaminated objects as training materials is an idea that most people would not even dare to think about.
"Okay, I'll follow you in to broaden my horizons!" Xu Yiming replied with his chest puffed out.
Not every hunter has the opportunity to enter the maze, and Xu Yiming doesn't want to miss it.
He is a pragmatic person and he doesn't dare to have the idea of becoming famous, but since he has become a hunter, who wouldn't want to become stronger?
Feng Ling's logic was simpler. When he heard that Xu Yiming was also going, he lowered his head and said to Huangfu Miaomiao, "We need to prepare an extra set of mattresses and pillows."
Huangfu Miaomiao nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I understand."
Xu Yiming thought silently: His tone is so relaxed, as if there is one extra person on the tour bus.
…………
The next morning, Feng Ling called Han Xu early and sent him the location of the maze entrance.
Upon learning that there was indeed a maze in Guangshan City, the superiors took it very seriously and all departments were very nervous.
Faced with the problem of evacuating such a large area of residents, and worried that the Supervision Bureau would not be able to complete the task in time, the higher-ups dispatched the army to help the Supervision Team evacuate the residents.
When the army was dispatched, the scene was huge.
As a result, people all over the country knew that there was a maze in Guangshan City and that hunters were about to enter the maze and take action.
Residents were evacuated in the morning, and the media arrived in the afternoon. At night, a human wall was formed around the 3-kilometer pedestrian street, and the road was blocked! Drones were everywhere in the sky!
Feng Ling found it outrageous.
"Is it necessary?" She looked at Han Xu who came to pick her up, and was really puzzled.
Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?
Han Xu seemed to be used to it, and said calmly: "This arrangement is a kind of protection for you."
"Protect?" Feng Ling opened his mouth, speechless, "...This kind of profound meaning is really hard to understand. I just feel that I am a more eye-catching target."
Han Xu raised his lips slightly after hearing this. He continued to remain serious and calm and said, "Under the watchful eyes of the public, I believe that even if the aliens want to cause trouble, they will think twice."
Feng Ling complained: "Aren't you afraid that I will lose in front of everyone? Die? Hurt the confidence of the hunters? Destroy the people's hope?"
Han Xu finally couldn't help laughing. "No, we will give you a grand funeral, just like Ye Zheng's funeral. Your spirit of sacrifice will continue to inspire each of us."
Feng Ling: “………………”
She had lived for more than twenty years, and for the first time she found herself so language-deficient that she could not speak.
I'm going to take a day off tomorrow!!! Take a day off!
