Chapter 491: Bunker Terror (5)

About half an hour later.

"Zi...Zi..."

It seemed that the generator in the officers' dormitory area had run out of fuel, causing a power outage in the cell area. After a few unstable current sounds and the lights in the cell area flickering a few times, the cell area fell into complete darkness.

“Sizzle..Sizzle…”

However, after a few minutes, the lights came on again. It should be that other player teams added fuel to the generator in the officers' dormitory area.

"boom."

"boom."

However, within less than a minute after the lights were turned on, the lights inside the cell area broke one after another. Sparks flashed from time to time on the remains of the bulbs, but the light they produced was not enough to illuminate, and would interfere with people's vision in the dark. In the pitch-dark situation, the sudden sight of the sparks produced by the leakage would definitely attract attention. In fact, the shattering of the bulbs had actually attracted the attention of several people in the Quack Society, because in their opinion, the shattering of the bulbs seemed to be caused by human beings.

Pei Lan, one of the five people, was hiding closest to the entrance of the cell block, so she could directly observe the light bulb breaking, and also quietly informed the other four people of the incident through the team channel. When the cell block fell into darkness, Pei Lan keenly caught a flash of something on the ground.

At first she thought it was a fragment of a light bulb and didn't pay much attention to it, but soon she noticed that the faint, barely noticeable light on the ground appeared at the same frequency as the electric sparks at the leakage location. She thought about it carefully and realized that the light bulbs inside the cell area were very dirty on the outside and covered with mud, which also caused the inside of the cell area to not be very bright. If the power of the generator was not sufficient, there would probably be no difference between having these bulbs and not having them.

It is also because of this that such a bright light cannot be reflected on the dirty light bulb fragments. The sparks must be emitted by something else. But Pei Lan cannot see at night without using skills. Using skills while hiding is tantamount to notifying other players that someone is squatting here. Therefore, Pei Lan could not see what the reflective object was, so she told Wu Ritu about her discovery. The other party could also see the position of the inside of the cell area gate from his angle, and as a gunner, his professional talent allowed him to see at night without consumption.

"What is that thing?"

"It seems to be... a very small arrow? It's not a normal bow or crossbow arrow. It's either a pocket crossbow or a special blowgun. The enemies in this dungeon won't use this kind of weapon, at least we haven't seen it before."

"That means there are already other people near the cell block. Get ready, but don't reveal your position yet. We should not have been discovered yet."

Meanwhile, inside the guard lounge of the cell block.

"Additional combat units detected, quantity: 5"

"Assessing threat level... Completed."

"Threat Level: Medium."

Han Zu, who was hiding inside the big cabinet, used his contractor equipment to scan other people that the Quack Society had noticed. However, unlike them, these five people were not from the same team, but were survivors from different teams. Two of them were from the same team, and the other three were lone wolves. Because the number of people in their team had decreased, these people also chose to squat in the cell area. Unlike the Quack Society, they chose to squat, not because they had a countermeasure, but because they were helpless. Similarly, in terms of strength, they were no match for the Quack Society.

As for why the threat level of five people and four teams of players was classified as medium by the contractor's equipment, it was not because they had any special skills, but simply because of the equipment classification.

In the threat assessment level of contractors, the level below medium can be completely ignored. Units rated at this level cannot pose a threat to Han Zu based on their own strength. Even if Han Zu lies on the ground and is not prepared for the opponent's attack, the opponent can do nothing to him. And units of this level cannot hit Han Zu at all if he wants.

Mid-level threat units are almost the same as units below mid-level. The only difference is that units at this level have a chance to hit Han Zu, but it is only a hit. It is completely impossible to cause damage.

High-level threat units need to be dealt with more seriously. They can break through Han Zu's defense and cause damage to him, or they exceed Han Zu's strength in combat power, defense power, or speed. They are units that Han Zu needs to spend time dealing with, but strictly speaking, they are not difficult. They are units that have a chance to injure Han Zu, but cannot cause considerable damage, such as the mysterious people encountered at the fishing port in U City.

Han Zu needs to be careful to deal with dangerous threat units. Enemies of this level are equal to Han Zu in many aspects, or can surpass Han Zu in some areas. Enemies of this level can cause a lot of damage to Han Zu, or can restrict Han Zu's actions for a long time, and there is a small chance of causing fatal damage to Han Zu. In his current experience, Han Zu has encountered a small number of threat units of this level. The giant sentinel on the top floor of the contractor building counts as one, and the Leviathan creatures in the mysterious ocean count as one.

The last are the threat units of the fatal level. So far, Han Zu has only faced one threat unit of this level, which is the parasitic heavy suspension tank in the Tig space station. Units of this level can cause huge damage to Han Zu and have a high chance of killing Han Zu. It is also the only threat level that Han Zu will actively withdraw from the battle and keep a distance from.

However, the threat level of units classified into specific levels will change as Han Zu's strength changes. For example, the giant sentry on the top floor of the Contractor Building is now at most a high-level threat and is no longer a dangerous threat.

However, although this threat assessment system is easy to use, it also has a small flaw, that is, the first detection is basically inaccurate, and an accurate assessment can only be completed after the other party has demonstrated a certain level of strength. For example, when those mysterious people first appeared and did not attack Han Zu, their threat level was actually between medium and high. It was only after the first mysterious person's attack hit Han Zu that their threat level was determined to be high.

So even though the first test showed that the five players who approached the cell area were classified as intermediate, Han Zu would still treat them with caution. Who knows, someone might have some explosive ability and suddenly increase the threat level. So after confirming their identities, Han Zu immediately began to investigate their information.

Sure enough, prior investigation is still necessary. Among these five people, there are two who need attention. One of them is an assassin-type player. This guy's attack power and defense power are not worth mentioning, but his speed is ridiculously fast. According to the investigation, if his actions are not restricted, then it will be a very time-consuming process to successfully attack the opponent. Moreover, this guy is in the same camp as himself, so he has to find a way to kill him first to prevent him from running away.

The second person was one of the two members of the same team. His fighting ability was not low. Logically, he should not appear in a copy of this level. Even though this was a new copy, he was probably there to help other members of the guild. He was a thug or bodyguard. But his speed was not good enough, so there were only two people left in his team.

Han Zu used the intelligence he had searched to compare the combat effectiveness of the five members of the Quack Club with these five people. Overall, the Quack Club was still better. Although the bodyguard was stronger than the five members of the Quack Club, the Quack Club had the advantage in numbers after all, and the difference in strength was not that big, so the Quack Club could easily defeat these five people. Han Zu was going to make some noise and find a way to get these people to fight.

"Chi~"

However, just as Han Zu was thinking about how to provoke a fight, he heard a slight friction sound when the vent gate was moved. The device showed that none of the ten people detected were near the vent, so where did the sound come from? Han Zu turned his eyes and stared at the vent, ready to see the identity of the person who was not scanned by the device.

As the vent gate was completely opened, Han Zu showed a puzzled expression. It turned out that the one who opened the vent was not an enemy, but a half-meter-tall, invisible plush doll. It was estimated that someone was controlling the doll to explore the way.

The contractor's equipment, in addition to receiving interference, will not automatically detect non-threatening things. The equipment did not experience interference, which means that the manipulated plush doll has no attack capability at all. In this case, Han Zu did not intend to stop the other party, but remained quiet and prepared to see what the manipulated plush doll would do. Others might not be able to discover this invisible plush doll, but Han Zu, who has an extremely keen sense of energy, can easily see through the doll's invisible disguise with his strong visual ability.

Although the doll remained invisible, it still moved cautiously. It gently pushed open the door of the guard's lounge, trying not to make any noise, and then followed the wall into the corridor of the cell area.

"No, why didn't the poison gas mine I set up get triggered?"

However, when Han Zu used his ability of perspective to observe the stuffed doll, he suddenly remembered that he had set up a booby trap at the vent using the poison gas grenade. Logically, when the stuffed doll opened the vent, the booby trap should have been triggered immediately, but it was not. This seemed a little strange.

Han Zu immediately looked towards the vent again. The gas grenade was still there, but strangely, the thin wire connecting the pull ring had been broken. The cut wire could be seen next to the vent, but Han Zu had clearly confirmed that apart from the stuffed toy, there was nothing else close to his booby trap.

He carefully checked the area near the vent and found an arrow on the ground. Based on the neat cuts, this arrow should be the thing that dismantled the booby trap. Based on the background of the dungeon, this arrow could not have been a product of the dungeon. It should have been something from other players. It looked like the arrow of a pocket crossbow or a blowgun. But how did this thing suddenly appear here without attracting his attention?

"Did someone find me? No, I don't think so..."

Han Zu thought about it for a while. It should be impossible for someone to discover him. Otherwise, according to his disguise, a low-level player would be eliminated immediately if he was discovered. But the removal of the booby trap must have been the work of other players, which made Han Zu's expression more serious.

"Oh, I almost forgot where I was."

But soon, Han Zu thought that he was in the Infinite City dungeon. For a thing that even the contractor's equipment could not fully understand, it was normal that there were some things that were difficult to detect, such as those strange props. It was estimated that the arrow was some kind of automatic prop.

"It seems like something is moving. There are a few more footprints on the ground."

At the Quack Club, Wuzhitu discovered some anomalies. Although he could not see through the invisible camouflage directly, when the stuffed toys moved, they left some traces in the dusty passage of the cell area, which were captured by Wuzhitu. So he immediately notified the other four people of the situation.

"It should be some skill or item that allows invisibility. Is there anything I can do?"

As a mage professional player in the Quackery Association, Yuan Feng had the means to counter the invisibility ability, so he asked the others if he needed to do anything.

"Don't do it yet. Wuzhitu can roughly locate the invisible position. Let's not make any moves yet. Maybe this is a bait."

Han Zu and the five members of the Quack Club were able to hold their tempers, but the other people around the cell block were not as calm as them. The fastest lone wolf player also used some ability to discover the invisible plush doll, but he was unable to hold his temper. After locking the position of the invisible plush doll, he threw a small shuriken at it. The shuriken successfully hit the plush doll's back.

"puff."

The stuffed doll fell to the ground, and the shuriken reflected the light of the electric spark, which also made the others who had not discovered him discover his position. After knowing that there were other people around, the quack doctor continued to wait and see, and did not act rashly. Han Zu already knew how many people were around, so naturally he would not show up. But among the other four people, the remaining two lone wolves moved towards his position and prepared to take action.

"Ding ding ding~ ding ding~~"

However, at this moment, the fallen plush doll suddenly bounced up from the ground, then turned around and ran towards the position of the player who attacked it at an extremely fast speed. The player continued to throw shurikens, trying to stop the plush doll from approaching, but with little effect. The plush doll soon ran to his feet.

"Poor!"

The stuffed doll stretched out its limbs and wrapped itself around the player's legs. Just as the player leaned over to throw the doll away, it suddenly shattered. Then, a blinding flash suddenly appeared, briefly illuminating an area of ​​two meters square. The strong flash immediately blinded him and the other two lone wolf players who were close to him and wanted to kill him.

"call out!"

"Whoa!"

"Boom! Boom!"

In the chaotic scene, Han Zu caught the subtle sound of three bullets breaking through the air. The three bullets were of different models and were not fired from the same weapon, but the timing of the attack was the same. With three muffled sounds, the three lone wolf players were hit in the heart and fell to the ground. They turned into white light and were teleported out of the dungeon. They were eliminated.

"It's quite lively."

Looking at the new target scanned by the contractor's equipment, Han Zu said to himself, excluding himself, including the remaining two people, the Quack Society, and the team that killed the three lone wolves, there are already 11 people near the cell block.
