PNB Chapter 1250
Chapter 1250
"you are still alive?!"
The high school student was so surprised when he saw Feng Lan that he blurted out, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, that's not what I meant."
The fat man's gaze, however, fell on the gun in her hand, and his pale face, which had been livid from blood loss, brightened. "A gun?! You got the hunter's gun?"
The professional woman, recalling the gunshots from earlier, asked Feng Lan expectantly, "Is the hunter dead?"
Feng Lan shook his head. "He was shot, but he didn't die. However, he probably won't be out on patrol for the next few hours."
"Why?" Of the remaining three, the fat man was the most agitated. After all, he had been captured by the hunter twice and almost died both times. His physical condition was the worst among all the players. If there was one player with the highest mortality rate, it would definitely be him. If Feng Lan had killed the hunter, even if the game didn't end immediately, the fat man wouldn't have been in such great danger. "Was it because your aim was bad and you missed? Do you still have bullets? Give me the gun, I'll go!"
The fat man looked excited. He used to go hunting in the mountains with the team when he was young. He sat up from the ground, supporting his wound, and prepared to take the hunting rifle from Feng Lan's hand.
Feng Lan lifted her eyelids to look at him, then pointed the gun directly at him. The fat man, whose face was flushed with excitement, froze instantly. "You, you, what are you doing? Be careful it doesn't go off..."
The high school student and the professional woman were speechless at the fat man's attitude. The high school student looked at the fat man with disdain and said, "She got the gun, why are you trying to take it?"
The gun is still in someone else's hands. The excuse you came up with is so flimsy. You just blatantly snatched it from someone else, and these are all strangers. Do you think you're the Jade Emperor, just asking for it like that?
This isn't reality, yet they're using it for moral blackmail. The high school student is wondering if the fat guy's brain is also filled with fat.
Since gunshots were heard earlier, she would definitely fire back.
The professional woman shook her head inwardly. She was convinced that Feng Lan was a veteran player, and veteran players all had their own skills, so they should all know how to use guns. "There should be rewards for advancing the completion of dungeons or participating in key storylines."
The professional woman looked at Feng Lan, guessing that this was the case; if so, the fat man's actions were no different from grabbing a reward.
Feng Lan neither nodded nor shook his head, but told the newbies other information: "The hunter should still have a gun, and he has a dog in the back house. Starting tomorrow, he should be patrolling the mountain with the dog. Be prepared, or you can take this opportunity to search his house."
After saying that, Feng Lan left with the gun.
Whether these people can find guns and bullets at the hunter's cabin is unknown to her; perhaps the hunter's cabin holds other clues as well.
After leaving the three people, Li Yitao also approached Feng Lan, mainly for the gun she had, since it was clearly related to the main plot.
"Are you a veteran player?" Li Yitao was a little unsure, since when he entered the game, it was clearly stated that he was the only veteran player in this instance.
Feng Lan tossed the gun in her hand, raised an eyebrow at the injured Li Yitao, and asked, "Do you want it?"
Feng Lan didn't explain, but Li Yitao wasn't stupid, and found it hard to believe: "Killing a hunter will yield a very high reward."
After all, with the hunter dead, the main quest's danger level is 90% complete! The remaining 10% can be covered with the supplies in the hunter's hut.
Feng Lan stated his conditions: "I can give you the gun. You go and train those three players. You don't need to risk your life, but you need to let them know the general process of the game."
"Okay!" After hearing Feng Lan's conditions, Li Yitao didn't think for more than three seconds. He was joking. This kind of request was just to guide a newbie and he could get a hunting rifle. Li Yitao followed Feng Lan and climbed over the hunter's hut. As an old player, he naturally didn't find any guns or bullets. He didn't know if it was for newbies or if this player had searched too thoroughly.
Feng Lan tossed the gun to Li Yitao. "There are still two bullets left in the gun. The hunter should have novice protection today, so you won't be able to kill him. For the rest of the time, you take them and hide. The novice protection should disappear tomorrow."
After delivering the information, Feng Lan disappeared from Li Yitao's sight. As for Li Yitao not keeping his promise after getting the gun?
Li Yitao wasn't stupid; he could tell that Feng Lan's skill level was above his. When he threw the gun to her, he didn't hesitate or show any reluctance, which meant that she wasn't afraid of him using the gun. By the time Li Yitao looked up again, Feng Lan had already disappeared from his sight.
Feng Lan didn't go too far. She watched Li Yitao stand there for a while with a conflicted expression, and finally muttered, "Never mind, don't be greedy," before turning back to find the three newbie players.
After the three high school students finished their discussion, the strange atmosphere from before had dissipated. In fact, apart from the fat guy, the other two didn't take what had just happened to heart. The only one who felt embarrassed was him.
As for what the three of them were discussing, it was naturally whether or not to listen to Feng Lan's advice and go back to the cabin to search for clues.
“We have to go. If it’s really as she says, that the hunters also have dogs, then hiding now is useless and will only cause us to miss the best time to search,” the professional woman rubbed her arms. A day in the dungeon had passed quickly, and now the sky was darkening and the temperature in the forest was dropping. “We lack knowledge about the hunters, and blindly hiding is useless.”
“That’s right. With dogs around, no matter how far we hide, the hunters will find us. In terms of strength and stamina, we will only get worse and worse. If we don’t get information now, we won’t be able to fight back later.”
The fat man thought the same thing, but because he had just lost face, he muttered to himself, "Who knows if she's telling the truth or not? Maybe she's just trying to trick us into going to our deaths."
The high school student glanced speechlessly at the fat guy following them, and couldn't help but retort, "Uncle, from the moment you entered the game until now, everything you've said and done really sounds like the first cannon fodder to die in a horror game."
That's true. If it weren't for her and the career woman rescuing this fat man, he probably wouldn't have survived until today.
The fat man was embarrassed by the high school student's words, but since the high school student had saved him, he was a little angry. His stomach wound was still a little painful, so he could only open his mouth in silence. Finally, he managed to squeeze out, "I don't argue with kids."
The three of them walked very fast this time because Feng Lan had said that the hunter's unconscious time might be very short. If they walked slowly, what if they happened to encounter the hunter who had just woken up?
In front of the cabin, the three men "coincidentally" ran into Li Yitao. The fat man immediately spotted the hunting rifle in Li Yitao's hand. His eyes lit up, and he quickly ran up to him, saying, "Brother, you've got some skills, that gun of yours..."
The fat guy actually wanted to say, "Your gun looks familiar. I think I've seen it before," but after being repeatedly rebuked by Feng Lan and the high school student, he realized that this wasn't reality and stopped being so sarcastic.
Li Yitao didn't say anything, but just nodded to the three of them, "One person definitely can't search the whole house. Let's split up and share the clues?"
The high school student and the professional woman exchanged glances. Time was of the essence, so she took the initiative and said, "Okay, let's search the second floor."
