"Well, it's time!" The Grey King walked over at this point and said to Thorne, "Let's go!" "You two come with me!" Thorne said, he would love to bring Kadan, Bock together into the team, these two people now need to join a strong team to protect themselves.
Kadam is a prophet, like himself is also a priesthood, has a powerful ability, he can be with himself, both to ensure his safety and to assist himself.
Although Polk is an ordinary player, but after the restaurant battle, his personal ability is still good, at least to be able to defend themselves, will not become a burden, and freckles sacrifice, red hair left, his three-person squad has fallen apart.
"Want to bring your two friends?" The Gray King said, "My team doesn't raise trash, they have to prove themselves first!" Polk was a bit moved, but once he heard this, he was grossed out.
"I'm not joining, Kadam, we're teaming up!" "Good!" Kadan was also irritated by that statement and showed extreme displeasure with the Grey King.
"Very well!" The Grey King said noncommittally, then patted Thorne on the back with a large hand, "Come on, our group is a few blocks away, we'll have to walk up for a while.
""How can I contact you guys later?"" Thorne asked, turning his head.
"Remember that frequency from the walkie-talkie I used in the restaurant? Just use that frequency to find us, and if you can't find it, try plus or minus 0.15 each!" Polk said.
Thorne nodded, with a look of care written in his eyes, and the two waved goodbye to him.
Although they have only been together for less than two hours, but through two great battles, the three already have a friendship of life and death comrades.
He would not poke at Kadam's identity as a prophet, that might have unforeseen consequences, now the fewer people who know his identity the better! Fortunately, those who know his identity are mostly non-players or dead people.
It just didn't occur to Thorne that they'd see each other again soon.
He is now the most relieved one is Claire Shirley, the second is Delman squad, especially Hodel this dark mine is not cleared, God knows what will happen later? The Grey King took Thorne quickly away, and after they left, Polk and Kadan also randomly teamed up and left, and a minute later, the tracker's body suddenly twisted, followed by the rapid regeneration of his arm recovery, less than half a minute, the tracker stood up! This only took six minutes, almost half the ten minutes less than the Grey King predicted for recovery! Tracker's recovery ability is also much stronger than predicted! And at this moment there are still many injured people at the scene are doing emergency care, Carlos was the first to notice that the tracker got up, shocked he immediately fired and alerted everyone.
But at this point the team of players with powerful firepower basically withdrew, and Mikhan's main combat unit also escorted the wounded to the subway station, leaving behind mostly severely wounded who are receiving emergency care on the spot before they can be carried away, with a serious lack of firepower.
It looked like a brutal massacre.
"Hey, asshole!" With an angry curse, a round hit the tracker in the chest, although it was only scratching like a tickle, but when it saw Jill, it yelled, "STARS!" and then stepped towards Jill, a man mistook it coming this way to attack himself and fired hastily.
"Hold your fire!" Jill shouted anxiously, but the man turned a deaf ear.
The tracker's newborn right hand snapped up, a tentacle flew out to wrap the man's neck and drag him to his side, and with just one punch, the man's entire head was gone.
Without even looking, the tracker tossed the man's body aside like garbage and struck out after Jill! "Jill!" Carlos shouted.
"It's after the STARS guys!" Jill had seen this, "I can distract it and buy you time while you evacuate with the wounded as soon as possible! I'll come for you!" "Always be careful!" Jill and the tracker's figure soon disappeared into the darkness.
On the other hand, Thorne followed the Grey King, all the way towards the east side. The Grey King's pace was so big and fast that Thorne almost used a trot to keep up.
But even with all the jogging and heavy gun supplies on his back, his breath was still very steady.
The Grey King had been secretly watching and was very satisfied with this, impressed by Thorne's strength.
Gunnery, judgment, stance, in the battle just now, Thorne has fully demonstrated, he is strong this point is beyond doubt.
"There are only two of us here, so you can tell me all the details of your professional abilities, right?" The Gray King said.
"..." "Don't want to talk about it? Worried I'll give away the secret?" "No, there are impostors who know my identity, so I'm not worried about being hunted by impostors - I'm a hunter with enhanced firearm attacks, and I'm very familiar with firearms, that's all for now.
""Well, that's good! Tell me again what you were doing before you came here and why you came in?" The Grey King asked as he slowed down his pace.
"Are these important?" "These will help me understand some of your underlying traits.
""I'm an architect, just got a good job, but got liver cancer, so I was forced to come in and hope to get healthy.
"Thorne answered truthfully, there is no need to hide these.
"And what about you?" Thorne asked rhetorically.
"Before I came in, I was a dead man, and in order to live, I came.
"The Gray King gave an answer so vague as to be almost abstract.
"What kind of answer is that?" Thorne knew he would have reservations, but he also didn't expect him to say something so middle-of-the-road.
"I'm not lying, before I came here, I was a basketball player, third-rate kind, because I never got the chance to advance, I gave up on myself, addicted to drugs can not get out, almost ruined myself.
Later, because of an incident, I was wrongly accused and sent to jail, my basketball career was completely ruined, my girlfriend also left me, just in the pain, I got this opportunity, as long as I can pass the game, I can not only return to just play basketball, but also get the opportunity to advance to the NBA, so here I am!" After a pause, the Gray King added: "Although this place is very dangerous, but I seem to be as free as a fish in water.
I was also alone at first, who did not believe, then something happened, I did some bold moves that made other players dare not try, so I grew in strength, this trench coat, which belonged to a tyrant, I defeated it with a knife!" Thorne suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" The Grey King frowned, somewhat unhappy.
"I suddenly thought of an image where you left in a trench coat, but a falling tyrant was left in the hallway, haha!" The Grey King shook his head and said, "It's nothing to laugh about.
""Ahem, so how long have you been in this world?" "Hm, almost four days.
""Four days?"" Thorne was taken aback, it couldn't have been more than two days since the biochemical crisis broke out in Lyken City until now! "What were you guys doing before? Could it be that the crisis had already broken out then? And where are the main characters? Claire, Leon, did they come in early too?" "No, we only had the task of protecting Shirley to find Claire a few hours ago, before that, we worked with Chris.
""That's right!" Thorne nodded, "Then what did you guys do at that time? According to the plot, shouldn't Chris have left Lyken City long ago?" "According to the plot, there is only one way to die!" Gray King said disdainfully, "In fact, at the beginning, Lyken City is still very calm on the surface, Chris's report did not attract attention, but instead to be transferred to other places by superiors, but then soon everything changed, I received a sewer mission, a lone soldier deep, was chased by a large mutant monster, almost died down there, and then everything became unmanageable, Chris At that time is our hope, only he a protagonist in the police station, the other people are elsewhere, can not go to find, so in order to keep him, I forged a document, forcibly kept him!" Hearing this, Thorne also could not help but secretly surprised.
I didn't think that the reason why Chris remained here was because the Grey King had made a mess of it, but of course, it's understandable that he did so. When the initial players first enter, they are weak and have a much better chance of surviving if they can always follow a certain protagonist.
But the consequence of this is that it can seriously disrupt the game's plot, making everything unpredictable and confusing.
"I heard you raise wolves?" Thorne suddenly asked.
"That's right!" The Grey King was not subtle.
Thorne originally thought he would have some scruples, but who knows he answered cleanly and without any hesitation.
And then look at his face, it seems that there is no half guilt at all, but very proud.
"After I came back from the sewers, I knew I would have a hard time surviving on my own without my professional ability boost, so I started recruiting people to team up, and so we got punked by the impostor a few times! The reddest we finally figured out the guy and checked and killed him, but the moment I killed him, it suddenly occurred to me that impostors rely on monsters in order to kill players, and players can't directly kill impostors, which means that there is actually a delicate balance between us and the impostors, which I call 'peaceful fake smile'.
""Peaceful fake smile? Interesting!" "So, I had an idea - why not make a deal with the impostor? We find the impostor, not kill him, or even protect him, while he doesn't kill our teammates, doesn't hinder our mission, and in some cases, they even let the monsters help!" "The mission allows them to do that?" "It's something that requires skill, you'll understand later.
"The Grey King is obviously reluctant to reveal too much.
"Is this going to work? An impostor is trustworthy?" Thorne still couldn't believe what he was saying.
The Gray King did not answer directly, but stopped and said, "After walking so far, you do not think there is anything strange?" Thorne was stunned, raised his eyes to look around, the wretched streets, burning cars, dim street lights, the faint sound of gunfire in his ears, did not seem to find anything different.
"Haven't you noticed that after walking for so long, we've gone deep into the Eastern District and we haven't even encountered a single monster or even a walker?" The Grey King reminded him.
Thorne came back to his senses, indeed, they walked at least two streets, it is reasonable to say, at least some zombies and so on, but did not see anything.
"It's all been cleared out?" Thorne asked.
The Grey King did not answer, but "snapped" three hands.
Among the surrounding stores, a large body of zombies appeared in black, but they only appeared in view, but did not attack them.
Even in the window of a shoe store, Thorne saw four lickers, which spat their long tongues at Thorne and still did not attack.
The Grey King clapped his hands again and all the monsters retreated backwards, hiding in the darkness, silently.
Thorne couldn't help but feel creeped out, he could be sure that there were at least several wolves lurking around here! Impostors can control monsters, but they can only control a certain kind of monster each, and the number is limited, such a large gathering of monsters, one or two wolves can't do it at all, at least four wolves! "This is too dangerous, right?" Thorne was very worried, "In case the impostor betrayed you, wouldn't it--" "In the big battle with the tracker just now, didn't you notice that not a single stray monster ever appeared!" The Gray King interrupted him and said, "My impostors kept them under control and away from the battlefield! Otherwise, do you think that with such a fierce and prolonged battle, no monsters would have been attracted to the vicinity?" Thorne was dumbfounded, indeed, during the battle just now, apart from the tracker and its tentacle-mutated zombies, no other monsters were seen messing around.
Thorne hadn't paid much attention to the incident, only thinking it was just their luck, but he didn't expect it to turn out that the impostors of the Grey King were secretly controlling the monsters away from the battlefield! "But they are still dangerous after all!" "Once you figure out the basics of the impostors, you won't think so, and I can tell you one thing right now - the impostors won't make a move on any player until the impostor mission is carried out.
""So you just keep tying them up with missions? So they can't get at your people? Right?" "Brilliant!" "But how did you interfere with the system to issue quests?" Thorne was puzzled, he had only been here for a few hours after all, and some of the details of the system were far less clear than the Grey King, or even those of the Cardan and the others.
"You'll find out later!" The Gray King said as he jumped into a truck and walked from the roof all the way up to the second floor window of the building immediately below.
"The Grey King is back!" Immediately there was a sound, and Thorne heard the sound of at least four assault rifle bullets receding, and even a heavy machine gun.
The firepower guarding the entrance is so fierce, the Grey King's squad is really different! Entering the interior of the building, the situation inside was beyond Thorne's expectation.
This used to be the office area of a large company, but now it is being used by the Grey King squad to transform it into a base.
Originally, I thought that the Grey King's group was filled with a group of arrogant senior players, who knew that the first reaction when he came in was that he had arrived at some military base.
The place is orderly, everyone is wearing gray combat uniforms with bulletproof vests, and when they see the Gray King, their first reaction is to stand at attention and salute.
In Thorne's imagination, he thought it should be a bunch of bandits greeting the king of the mountain that kind of stance is right, which indeed makes him unexpected.
Passing by each room he kept an eye out, there were special wards, kitchens, and even locker rooms! This made him feel even more like this was a professional military base! Even the troops of Mikhan he had seen were not so professional.
The Gray King led him straight to the door of a room, and Thorne saw a sign posted on it - the combat command room.
"Captain, welcome back!" Seeing the Gray King push the door in, all the people inside stood up.
The command room is very well arranged, with three white boards, one with a large map of the city of Lyken with many arrows of various colors on it.
One with some people's pictures on it, some small notes, recording a lot of seemingly important but do not know where to use the numbers, codes, etc..
On top of the last one are some sketches drawn on the spot, which seem to be sketches for drawing up battle plans.
In the middle was a very large conference table, and two men and a woman, fully armed and competent in appearance, were rising to salute.
There was a radio on a table in one corner of the room, and a team member with headphones was monitoring the whole thing without having to get up.
"Alright! Let me introduce, this is Thorne, the new team member with very powerful fighting ability!" The Grey King pointed at him and said.
At the same time, Thorne had received a system message: [You have been invited by the Grey King squad, do you agree? [Agree! [You have now joined the Grey King Squad and have been appointed by the captain as the leader of Task Group C! Thorne was stunned, the Grey King squad actually set up a special task group? "From now on, he is the leader of Team C!" The Grey King announced the appointment.
A black woman, who was also the leader of the group, stood up and said, "Captain, he is still a newcomer, is it appropriate to directly appoint him as the leader of the group, or group C?" "Is it appropriate, won't we know if we take a mission?" The Gray King did not bother to explain, and Thorne agreed with him to do so - strength is the only proof, everything else is bullshit! "Find him a C class mission!" "Yes!" The black woman immediately turned to the radio monitor, "Find a Class C mission.
"The listener immediately began operating the radio and tuning in.
"That's the mission monitor.
"The Gray King saw Thorne curiously survey the radio and explained, "Once the captain has a level 10 panel, he can redeem it for 50,000 points and can listen to the tasks being generated by the system and then choose some of them to execute.
"Thorne nodded his head and felt that it was really long to see that there was actually a task monitor that could choose the right task on its own, this was too powerful.
"You get to know each other, before the mission is received, you can go to the armory to receive equipment and uniforms.
"With these words, the Gray King turned and went out the door, not knowing where to go.
"I'm Mina, the leader of Team A!" The black woman shook hands with him.
"Brooke, leader of Team B!" The medium-sized white man said.
"Ha-ha-ha, leader of group D!" The burly man with a few Indian looks introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Thorne, I'm joining the Grey King squad for the first time, please take care of me!" When Thorne said this, he couldn't help but remember the scene when he first joined the company when he first joined the job.
At that time when he introduced himself, he even said his name wrongly, Thorne said Budweiser, which triggered laughter, and by mistake, but was taken by everyone as he was deliberately joking and regulating the atmosphere.
"You can go to the armory to get your equipment first, and if you don't know your way around, I can accompany you.
"I'm sorry," said Harsheng in a friendly manner.
"Thanks a lot, and maybe I really need you to lead the way.
"The two went out together.
"What do you think of this kid's strength?" Mina changed her face after he left.
"Not sure, but the gray king personally brought back, but also directly appointed as a group leader, the strength should not be weak.
"Brooke deflated.
"We can't let him ruin our plan, I mean, the C-team leader is so hard to hang ... have to get our people to take the position, it's an important position!" Mina said in a very low voice coming up to his ear.
"I know, I know, don't rush everything, just take your time, I promise we'll make it!" Brooke showed a treacherous smile.
