390: Recorded in history
“Have you noticed that there are often crocodiles in the river over there?” Xiao Yun asked, walking towards the pipe construction site and pointing to a stream not far ahead.
“Yes, there are two spots over there where crocodiles might spawn, but killing them doesn't give you any benefits,” Lu Xueqing immediately replied.
This was content from textbooks and also a frequently tested topic in exams, so as an academic overachiever, she understood it very clearly.
“Xiao Yun, are you saying the important supply point you mentioned is near here?” Hearing Xiao Yun’s question, Liu Shihhan understood his underlying meaning and asked.
“That’s right.” Xiao Yun nodded and walked towards the upstream of the river.
“Just now, I discovered a new area above this river, and inside there’s a special supply item.
It seems to be newly added in Dam No. 0 under Eternal Night Mode, and I haven't seen it anywhere else.”
“That amazing? If it’s really such a special item, the drop rate might be very high!” Liu Shihhan stroked her chin, a bit surprised after thinking it over.
“No wonder you were so anxious to take us to this place earlier.” Xiao Yun didn’t say much, but continued to hurry on.
The Cement Factory was not far from the Crocodile Nest; they were adjacent areas, but separated by high walls that prevented direct passage.
Soon, Xiao Yun led the two to the entrance of the Crocodile Nest.
“Huh? I remember that in the normal Dam No. 0, this area should be blocked by iron plates and impassable, but I didn't expect it to be open in this Eternal Night Dam?”
“Hmm, if I’m not mistaken, this should be the new special area mentioned in the GTI announcement,” Xiao Yun said calmly.
“Master, Master, does that mean you were the first to discover this new area?” Lu Xueqing’s eyes widened as she carefully observed the newly added area.
Even though the surrounding light was dim, she was still trying her best to remember the environment clearly.
“Why are you so excited?” Xiao Yun felt puzzled watching Lu Xueqing look around.
“How can I not be excited! This is a moment that could be recorded in history!”
“This…”
“After all, we’re the first ones to explore this area! If we report it to GTI, maybe our names will even appear in history textbooks in the future!” Lu Xueqing jumped excitedly, splashing water around her feet, clearly very thrilled.
However, Xiao Yun turned to look at Liu Shihhan, only to find that she, like him, was completely unfazed.
It seemed neither of them was very interested in whether they could be recorded in history; only Lu Xueqing was excited about it.
“Oh, that’s just great.” Liu Shihhan echoed her without emotion, clearly trying to appease Lu Xueqing, but it sounded like a perfunctory duty.
“Mm-hmm! Let’s hurry in and see what’s inside!” Lu Xueqing said, and was the first to walk into the Crocodile Nest.
“Wait! Be careful, there might be crocodiles inside!” Seeing this, Liu Shihhan quickly rushed in, only to find Lu Xueqing had already run deep into the Crocodile Nest.
“What should we do?” She looked helplessly at Xiao Yun, fearing that Lu Xueqing might encounter some accident.
However, Xiao Yun appeared very calm at this moment.
After all, he had already cleared out the three crocodiles in the Crocodile Nest earlier, so it should be absolutely safe inside... right?
“Waaah! Master, help! Master, help! There’s a crocodile!!!” Just as Xiao Yun was thinking this, Lu Xueqing’s cries for help suddenly came from the Crocodile Nest, along with the splashing sound of her moving through the water.
Xiao Yun focused his eyes and saw that behind her, there was indeed a huge crocodile following her!
“How could this be?” Xiao Yun was shocked.
Hadn’t he cleared out all the crocodiles inside?
Did one play dead? How was that possible? How could a crocodile have such intelligence?
“Xiao Yun, help quickly!” Liu Shihhan patted him twice, and Xiao Yun stopped thinking, immediately using one Power Boost after another, then another Power Boost, directly raising an MP5 he had initially confiscated from the first team of Asala Soldiers, and rushed into the Crocodile Nest, arriving beside Lu Xueqing.
Bang bang bang bang bang—! With the MP5 continuously firing with level 4 bullets, the crocodile quickly met its demise, becoming a corpse.
“Wuwuwuwu, you scared me to death!”
“Xue Qing, I told you to be careful!” Xue Qing plunged into Liu Shihhan’s arms.
Though Liu Shihhan was helpless, she continued to stroke her head to comfort her.
On the other side, Xiao Yun ignored the two startled individuals, instead frowning deeply and meticulously counting the corpses on the ground.
“One, two, three... four, why are there four crocodiles here?” Looking at this newly added crocodile corpse, Xiao Yun felt very confused.
Had he misremembered? Or was the situation in this world different from that in the game?
But in any case, after killing this crocodile, Xiao Yun directly shot out a Luna’s detection arrow.
This was an optical detection arrow, so even crocodiles could be detected.
After the detection arrow bounced once, it didn’t scan any new targets, indicating that there were no other crocodiles here.
“Maybe I misremembered.” Xiao Yun sighed softly, and at the same time, crouched down to examine the crocodile’s corpse.
Logically speaking, with his rare safe box, he could completely take the crocodile’s corpse out.
However, at this point, these crocodiles had been riddled with holes by Xiao Yun’s gunfire, so they wouldn’t have much value even if brought into reality.
“Wait... if I use a knife, wouldn’t I be able to make a profit from these crocodiles?” Xiao Yun stroked his chin, suddenly realizing.
