Accompanied by the sound of bullet casings and Cruncher falling to the ground, hurried footsteps and lights stepped into the next carriage, and then passed through the broken carriage and stepped into the tunnel.

Listening to the sound of footsteps getting further and further away, the three players finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Escaping Mole who was leaning against the carriage couldn’t help but ask in a low voice. "Speaking of which, Mosquito, what genetic sequence type are you?"

"Agility!"

"Damn, why are you also an agility type?"

"I heard that agility types run very fast..."

“God dammit, all of us are of the agility type. Now we are like a group of blind men squatting in the subway," Zhang Hai scolded, holding the bloody wound on his butt with his right hand, "By the way, which one of you has a bandage? Can I borrow it?"

Mosquito and Escaping Mole looked at each other and then looked at this troublesome newbie.

"Why don’t you just rush over and feed them?"

"If you have anything valuable, you can leave it with me for the time being. I’ll bring it back for you."

Zhang Hai changed his hand and rolled his eyes. "Fuck off, I haven’t archived my progress yet. If I die here, wouldn’t my progress today be lost?"

Ignoring this guy, Mosquito looked at Escaping Mole. "Now what?"

Mole gritted his teeth, falling in deep thought. "It’s hard to deal with them with just us... This group of people is too well equipped, and we didn’t bring good equipment with us. If we go out rashly, we will definitely be killed."

Mosquito couldn’t help but say, "Then are we just going to sit here and let them take our mission reward away?"

Zhang Hai, who was holding his butt to stop the bleeding, suddenly said. "Don’t worry. We still have a chance."

The two of them looked at him together and asked in unison. "What do you mean?"

Zhang Hai said with a smile. "I’ve already run around this area so many times that I know everything inside clearly. There’s a Creeper hidden inside. I thought it was difficult to deal with that, so I just ignored it previously. If they go a little further, they’ll definitely meet it. We just need to follow them secretly. In that way, maybe we will be able to cause some trouble for them."

Mosquito’s eyes lit up, and even Escaping Mole couldn’t help but praise. "That’s a good idea."

However, before his voice fell, there was a shrill roar from the front of the tunnel, followed by a loud explosion.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then leaned out half of their heads and looked forward.

The tunnel deep inside was lit up by a roaring flame.

A mercenary was half-squatting in the center of the tunnel, carrying a bazooka on his shoulder, and not far in front of him lay the Creeper!

The expressions of the three of them changed in unison.

"What the fuck..."

"Holy shit, they even have rocket launchers?!"

𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Zhang Hai, holding his butt, was stunned and muttered. "Oh shit. The chance is gone"

If even Creeper couldn’t stop them, there was no way that they would be able to do anything to them.

But at this moment, the VMs of Mosquito and Escaping Mole suddenly vibrated.

The two quickly turned on the screens, and almost as soon as they looked at the screens, surprise and joy appeared on their faces almost at the same time.

Zhang Hai didn’t have a VM, so he approached curiously. "What’s the situation? Let me have a look... What the hell?!"

What he saw was a mission pop-up on the screen.

[Mission:

Red Name Bounty

]

[Description:

A group of shameless people attacked and brutally killed our companions, their locations have been marked on the map, and the image information has been updated in the mission panel. Capture them all, dead or alive!

]

[Reward:

200 silver coins, 200 contribution points per target

]

Seeing the reward, Zhang Hai’s eyes almost popped out of its socket and smashed into the screen.

200 silver coins?!

Is… Is this the reward for high-level players?!

...

At the entrance to Flower Garden Street subway station.

Lambert, who was carrying a light machine gun, glanced at the pile of corpses on the ground, then glanced at the quiet street in the distance, and took a deep breath.

The voice of teammates came from the communication channel.

"Damn… It’s so quiet here."

"It’s winter after all, and it just snowed a little while ago."

"Do you think those people will come?"

"Maybe, maybe not, I hope they’d better not come and get themselves killed. Everything is going up in price in this hellish weather, and my bullets are not cheap."

Lambert did not speak.

Although he agreed, it seemed impossible not to fight.

That was dozens of lives they were talking about.

It was nothing to Boulder Town, but to the hillbilly in the northern suburbs, the death of so many young adults was enough to make them lose their minds.

When retreating later, there would probably be another bloody battle.

Just then, Carl’s voice came from the communication channel.

"... Team C, watch out, the suspected hostile target is approaching you."

"Direction?"

"North... No, wait... Not only the north but there is also a team on the west side." Carl’s voice showed a hint of surprise, and he continued, "They seem to be divided into groups of three to four people. You better be careful, these people are highly organized. Although their equipment is not very sophisticated, they are much stronger than the rookies we just cleaned up."

"Can you determine the number of people?"

"About thirty or so..."

Hearing that there were only thirty, the four people of the C team who stayed on the surface were all relieved.

The team leader said in the communication channel. "Help us to keep eyes on them, and if there’s a high-threat target, take it out before they get near."

Carl replied. "No problem, I’m watching, be careful."

Thirty or so...

Although there were quite a lot of them, it did not exceed their expectations.

The only thing that surprised Lambert was that those people responded faster than he thought.

It was 4 kilometers from Linghu Wetland Park to say the least.

With the complicated traffic environment in the wasteland, unless they rushed here as soon as the gunshots sounded, it was impossible for them to enter Carl’s field of vision so quickly.

Mobilizing so many people in such a short period of time.

How exactly did they do it?

…

Lambert would never be able to figure out their methods.

When more than a dozen players were disconnected at the same time, Chu Guang sensed that the situation was not right immediately, and quickly deployed the Hummingbird.

Looking at the mutilated corpses on the ground, Chu Guang, who was planning the relocation of Steel Plant 81, was furious.

Where did those bastards come from?!

How dare they go after my ruins?!

Without saying a word, Chu Guang threw a mission marker on the map, and set a bounty for all the targets tracked by the drone simultaneously!

Immediately, almost all players with VMs near the outpost received a pop-up window offering a bounty.

Almost everyone widened their eyes in surprise in unison.

200 silver coins and 200 contribution points for each target?! Dead or alive?!

When the administrator issued the mission, did he really not press an additional 0 by accident?!

In level B2 of the shelter.

Tail, who had just respawned, pulled Sisi and excitedly shook the VM in her hand and said. "Sisi! Hurry up and look at the VM! This mission is awesome! It is to hunt down red name targets! Let’s do it!"

Sisi, who was pulled and pushed around, looked somewhat listless. "Tail, are you sure? We’ve only just respawned."

"So what? I’m at maximum HP and MP now! Sisi, wake up, you’ve slept for three full days already!”

If only she really slept for three days.

Without the helmet, she didn’t even know how she survived the last three days. She couldn’t sleep with her eyes open at night, and she felt like she couldn’t concentrate during the day.

Looking at the energetic Tail, Sisi said with a sigh. "I mean… Do you still know which is the real world?"

Tail said nonchalantly, “This is not important! The important thing is that we’re weak in the real world!"

"..."

The Greenhouse Ruins.

Night Ten, who was eating dry food, suddenly jumped up as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Holy cow, Ample Time! Check out the VM!"

"I saw it," Ample Time, who was sitting on the ground staring at the VM screen, stroking his chin with his right hand, lost in thought, "It’s strange, why do NPCs also have red names?"

"Does this kind of thing matter? 200 silver coins per head." Gale’s eyes were sparkling, his right hand was already hungry for blood.

"Indeed, we can’t pretend we didn’t see this reward... By the way…" Ample Time looked at Night Ten, "... I remember you saying that you sensed someone peeking at Escaping Moles and the others when you were following them?”

Night Ten scratched the back of his head. "Uh, I was not sure about it. I just suddenly felt like I was being targeted."

Ample Time was silent for a while, then nodded suddenly. "Mhm, if my analysis is correct, we might have missed a hidden branch plot."

The three were stunned.

Especially Night Ten.

"What, what do you mean?"

Ample Time pondered out loud, "It’s nothing, I just feel that the feeling he had yesterday was very likely to be related to the NPCs that attacked Escaping Mole today."

Night Ten was shocked. "Damn, is this game that real?"

"It’s just a speculation, as for what it really is, I’m afraid only Light knows. In short, pay more attention to such clues in the future, maybe there will be big gains."

With that said, Ample Time got up from the ground, reached out, and picked up the mechanical compound bow leaning against the wall. He hooked the bowstring with his index finger and pulled it gently as if warming up.

"Let’s go."

"The hunt is about to start."

While they were chatting, a hundred people had already accepted the mission, and more than half of them were LV5, and the number was still rising.

Fortunately, half of the players went to the new map. Otherwise, those twelves targets would be far from enough to satisfy everyone.
