Chapter 035 Silent Hill
"It could be... this damn place..."
The voice of the person speaking was a little trembling. The cigarette between the index finger and middle finger trembled and stuffed into the trembling lips, and then took a deep breath. The cigarette at the tip of the tip was actually burned out of the brain, which showed that the lung capacity was strong.
In fact, in terms of the physical quality of adventurers, heroin, ice/poison, alcohol or cigarettes have long been unable to cause major damage to the body. Smoking is easy to get lung cancer, and drinking hurts the stomach and liver. Taking some neuropsychological drugs will make it difficult to distinguish between reality and falsehood. However, in the city that dominates the town, as long as you are willing to spend money on diseases, there is no reason to cure it.
Smoking is more of a habit, a means to relieve stress and release depression.
It's like the words of Smorg, a smoker in the pirates: "I smoke not cigars, but loneliness~~"
Adventurers smoke not cigarettes, but habits.
The speaker was a young man who was 1.7 meters tall, ordinary, slightly fat and had a big belly. He just smashed the window under a dumped pickup truck (it was difficult for his body to pass through the twisted and deformed door). When he saw this gray world, he immediately stiffened.
My lips trembled for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears, pointing to the sky and crying:
"God, why is my luck so bad! It turned out to be Silent Hill, which made people unhappy to play!"
Lin Xiao answered quietly next to him, "Have you ever stolen the skirt of the goddess of luck?"
The fat man was stunned and asked blankly, "No... Why do you say that?"
Xu Le sighed and said, "That's only one reason... The goddess of luck is your stepmother.
โ......โ
However, his reaction at this time can not only show his timidity and incompetence, but also explain how horrible "this damn place" is. After all, he is an adventurer who has mixed up to two difficulties. No one knows what kind of city's scheming is hidden under his round smile, but there must be two brushes. Not to mention that Mount Tai collapses in front of him and does not change color, his courage and insight are also very comparable. Now I'm so scared that I almost peed my pants, and the name of Silent Hill is really thunderous.
In addition to the God Team, many adventurers with different shapes have emerged from nearby cars, buses and pickup trucks. Their skin colors, ages, genders and even species are different, but one thing is surprisingly consistent - that is, the face is very pale and the perfect interpretation of the face is uninhabited.
Obviously, the team of gods was not the only one in the adventure world this time. Other difficult brothers were also thrown in. Lin Xiao looked up and found that there were 32 adventurers in total.
According to the probability of "nine deaths", after this adventure, there will probably be three people who can survive...
So many people stand on the street, but the atmosphere is strangely quiet and silent. No one spoke loudly, standing like a statue in the center of the gray road.
The sky is sprinkled with black and gray volcanic ash, perhaps mixed with... The ashes fell a thin layer on the head and shoulders in a moment.
Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, pinched a layer of dust on his shoulder with his two fingers, rubbed it, and even licked it gently, and then said:
"The soot made of unknown ingredients is between real and illusory, but it's not good to suck it into the lungs. Maybe it will be suffoched to death. Even if it doesn't die, no one wants to suck the ashes of the nose, right..."
Lin Xiao's voice naturally attracted the attention of the adventurers around him. He slowly took out an air filter similar to the breathing mask in Call of Duty from the storage space, and said with a smile:
"In this world, you have to seize any chance to live, don't you think so?"
Everyone's face changed slightly. Those who are prepared are okay, but those who are not prepared come up with a bitter face:
"Brother, do you still have this thing? Tell me the price!"
"It's easy to say, 500 points, children are not bullied, and their reputation is guaranteed."
"You... You, you, why don't you grab it?! A broken mask costs 500 points!"
Lin Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whish to buy it or not, 500 points, compared with your own life, which is more important, and weigh it yourself."
For Lin Xiao's shameless behavior of "national/difficult wealth", some people turn around and leave with a sneer, and some people come up to trade with a gloomy face - the probability of death in Silent Hill is famously high. No one dares to pat their chest to ensure that they can go down. Once they die, no matter how many points are, it's worthless. It's better to take them. Strive for a little chance of survive...
Holding the broken jar and inexplicable fluke mentality, Lin Xiao successfully sold 12 breathing masks, which can be regarded as a model of successful profiteering.
"The boss is tall and never forgets to make a fortune, but then again, this group of fat sheep really bought it." Xu Le praised and asked, "What should we do next?"
"Let's take a look at the task requirements first." Lin Xiao said.
Unlike the "death floor" experienced by the three people, this time everyone was not restricted from using storage space, and their skills and enhancements were not weakened at all. As the saying goes, I have one shot in the world, and the people of the God team who have the strength to fight at the bottom don't have much fear.
The task is as concise as before, and even too concise. There is no back/scape introduction, no challenging achievements, no punishment for failure or reward for victory, or even a pattern description, only three simple words:
"Live!"
It seems that blood flows from the top of the screen, and the three bloody fonts left on the taskbar make everyone feel a lingering haze.
Live...
The three simple words are undoubtedly suffocating before the storm, as if even the master doesn't expect much from them to survive, so it is so simple and hasty.
Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.
At this time, the adventurers present gradually "live" - it's a blessing, not a curse, but a misfortune, and he can't die, afraid of his ball.
In the end, it was an adventurer who rushed through the strong wind and waves. It was false to say that there was no arrogance in his heart, otherwise he would have been chopped over by the hitman and thrown into a small sewer, or tied a stone "reed sinking into the river".
The ants still cherish their lives, and the fish have to jump a few times. The adventurer is willing to wait for death, and he has to go to suffer. If he goes to the Lord of Hell, he will not fall into his name...
After the initial panic, the tough adventurers came to their senses. Gritting his teeth, calm his face, or in groups, or walking alone, walking along the road wrapped halfway up the mountain to the silent town at the foot of the mountain... Whether willing, sneering, lonely, afraid, hesitant, the future is far away.
Lin Xiao clapped her hands and said:
"Let's go, let's talk about it when we get to town."
The rear is the scene of a messy car accident, more than ten meters away is the strangely disappeared earth, and under the valley is a deep and invisible valley... There is no way to go except a road down the mountain.
Mixed in the crowd, like black flowers on wet branches, the adventurer walked silently along the road.
The gray fog fell all over the sky, like wind and snow, falling on the hair, shoulders, and in the heart... The inexhaustible dust of the heart.
Not long after walking, everyone saw a huge iron sign erected next to the road gate. Due to its age and few people's maintenance, the paint on it had fallen off. The rain made the rust leave messy and mottled traces on the iron plate, as if the hand of time had inadvertently swept it, and there was a kind of "the year is still the same, but the flowers fall. The sorrow of the two who don't know the death.
It makes people feel abandoned and decadent at a glance.
Several engraved versions of the big words "Welcome to the Silent Hill" are even more rusty and dark, as if the blood of an old person has dried up with a dark red light. When I saw it in a hurry, it inexplicably touched people's hearts...
At first, the fat man with a face full of grief and indignation, pointed to the sky and the earth, gritted his teeth and scolded the goddess of luck for giving birth to a son without an asshole/eye, but this guy was a lonerian. After walking in this lonely and gloomy world for a long time, he would have a feeling of impulsive madness, as if he would go from the inside out, from the soul to the flesh/body. They are all rotten and moldy.
This feeling is quite unpleasant.
So the fat man urgently needs to vent this suppressed and angry mood - cigarettes, wine, women/persons, etc. are all good choices. Unfortunately, the latter two are impractical. The former is just a habit, so he finally chose to release it through his mouth... That's what we commonly call chat.
The fat man named Lao Geng quickly got together with Xu Le. After saying some garbage words of "it's a pity that food is tasteless and abandoned", the two have already held hands and stared at each other with tears, looking at each other with regret that they can't wait to cut the chicken head and burn yellow paper.
After wiping the water stains from the corners of his eyes, after cursing the damn luck for the 31st time, Lao Geng said proudly:
"Brother, for the sake of our fate, I will tell you that this place is not as terrible as the legend. As the saying goes, there is always a glimmer of vitality."
Xu Le was in awe and bowed his hand to salute:
"I'm happy to listen to you, please give me some advice."
Looking at the two guys blowing and frowning at each other, everyone's faces are strange, but they have nothing to say, so they can only sigh:
"Okay, another man is going to pick up soap~~"
"Cough, I heard my brother tell you... The 'Silent Hill' in this plane refers to a quiet town surrounded by forests on the edge of Lake Toluca in the United States, which is also a resort for vacation and recuperation... Of course, it means that the land has not been polluted by demons.
"But now, this has become a very bad place. Many years ago, an inexplicable fire destroyed it. I heard that the flames of the underground coal mine are still burning today. The air there is highly poisonous, and no creature can be silent. The ridge survived. However, these... But these are actually not the worst places. I have heard some relevant information. I heard that only half of the people in the Silent Hill fire have successfully escaped, but the remaining half can find the body less than one-third of them, and all the rest are missing... Someone They said that they fell under the burning cracks of the ground, and some people said... they were pulled into another world by the devil..."
