121: Chapter 121 Aurora

Chen Mo looked at the gun in Lu Chengfeng's hand and understood why the dungeon had pulled this guy in.

In this dungeon, players might not have any combat capability at all during the early stages.

But they would definitely encounter monsters.

Aside from a lighter for starting fires, he didn't have any items capable of combat on him.

Su Qing and Xu Xiaoman went without saying, and it was unclear what use Meng Zhou's test tube had.

The only thing left was the President's knife.

Lu Chengfeng, a policeman with a gun, could improve their overall combat capability.

However, after Lu Chengfeng pulled out the gun, Su Qing and the others all carefully kept their distance from him.

Ordinary people didn't see guns in their daily lives, and coupled with the extremely high efficiency of killing with firearms depicted in movies and TV shows, it was inevitable that ordinary people would feel a sense of Fear upon seeing such things.

If Lu Chengfeng were a crazy teammate, he could wipe out Chen Mo and the others in an instant.

"It seems... we'll have to rely on you in the early stages, Officer Lu. You'll have to protect us," Jiang Xinyi said with a smile.

"Of course. Although I don't know how dangerous the monsters inside are, I know that as long as they are physical creatures, they won't be able to escape my bullets."

"My marksmanship is perfect; you can safely leave your backs to me!" Lu Chengfeng stated, highlighting his advantage.

Five minutes later.

The sun sank completely below the horizon, and the world plunged into total darkness.

In the night sky, gorgeous colors began to Interweave across the canopy, and streams of green aurora, like agile ribbons, drifted lightly through the night.

Occasionally, purple and pink brilliance flickered in between, as if the river of fate were slowly flowing through the air.

The deep blue background, like raindrops, descended upon the forest, making the environment surrounding everyone become dreamlike.

Their vision became distorted due to its appearance.

Chen Mo saw countless spots of light flickering in the forest.

"Aurora?"

Upon seeing that optical phenomenon, which was extremely rare in reality, a bad premonition arose in Chen Mo's heart.

"Quick, try it! Is the car's navigation still working?"

Hearing this, everyone immediately returned to their respective cars and tried to start the engines; the ignition worked.

But the central control screen couldn't display anything.

The dashboard shook violently from side to side.

Lines of signal interference, resembling an EKG, stretched across the entire screen.

As the aurora phenomenon overhead became increasingly intense, the car's signal reception system was nearly on the verge of collapse.

"Chen Mo, what's going on? Without navigation, how are we supposed to find the town in this forest?" Su Qing asked nervously.

The paralysis of the navigation function, coupled with the arrival of night, further escalated the pressure and Fear.

Chen Mo was just about to open his mouth to explain to Su Qing.

However, Meng Zhou spoke up first.

"The aurora is produced because... of the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field triggered by solar activity and high-energy particles. Our current location must be in a region with a higher latitude, so the impact is more severe!"

"We are experiencing radio interference. The signals for electronic devices like the car's radio and satellite navigation cannot be received and are in a state of chaos."

"Furthermore... although I have already memorized the general route in my head, the compass will also be affected by the magnetic field interference."

"This is a forest. Since we entered, there have been all sorts of curves. Without a compass, when we encounter the next fork in the road..."

"...once we choose the wrong route and have to turn back, we will waste a lot of time and energy."

"In summary: we have now become blind people crossing a river."

Jiang Xinyi added: "And we don't have any food on us, and our stamina levels aren't high."

"Although this dungeon restricts our attributes, stamina levels still exist. When stamina drops to zero, we can only act for 5 minutes after resting for every 1 minute."

Su Qing and Xu Xiaoman unconsciously hugged each other, their faces filled with terror.

"Although I'm a bit confused by what you're saying, in short... the situation is very bad, right!"

"That's right! Hehe, this dungeon is actually quite interesting; the difficulty has increased quite a bit compared to before," Jiang Xinyi said with a smile.

Seeing that the situation had fallen into the worst possible state, Jiang Xinyi was actually still able to laugh.

Chen Mo was speechless.

She was laughing, while Meng Zhou was as expressionless as a wooden person; these two certainly had very good mentalities.

His shoulder was pressed by a pair of strong hands.

Chen Mo turned his head and met Lu Chengfeng's gaze.

"Chen Mo, I know you must have a way. Hurry up and think of something; I believe in you!" Lu Chengfeng showed an expectant expression.

"What way could I have? I haven't even looked at my phone, let alone the map," Chen Mo shrugged.

The only thing he could rely on now was the playback function of the Management Group to skip the footage back to the part where the town map was normal.

But Chen Mo had never looked at his phone at all, which created a logical loophole.

Could he really say, "My sense of direction is exceptionally strong; follow me and you'll definitely have meat to eat"?

"You didn't look at the map? The five of us all looked at it," Lu Chengfeng asked in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"We all woke up at 6:30 PM."

"Only I woke up at 7 o'clock?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo felt very strange.

Although he was a hidden class and had stronger survival capabilities than others...

The initial loading of the Thriller Game was absolutely fair, with everyone entering the game at the same time.

And the fact that he missed the time to memorize the map seemed as if someone was intentionally trying to target him.

Specifically making him obtain less information than the others.

Chen Mo's thoughts retreated back to the previous dungeon.

[Damn! Does this kid Many Children Many Blessings have the ability of photographic memory?]

Remembering this sentence from the Management Group, it was easy to explain.

Because someone in the Management Group knew this, they intentionally increased the difficulty for him?

Damn, why? I didn't provoke anyone in the Management Group.

Didn't I even give you all a raise?

Chen Mo could be certain that he was being treated differently.

"There isn't much time left; we must act quickly. There are only two hours left."

"How about we split into three groups? 30 kilometers should be enough to leave the core area of the aurora. Whoever reaches Peters Town first can call the others to guide them," Lu Chengfeng suggested.

"No! That efficiency is too low," Chen Mo vetoed immediately.

"Then what should we do?"

At this moment, Chen Mo looked at Meng Zhou, who was deep in thought.

He said: "Meng Zhou, you said you remember the map's route, right."

Meng Zhou nodded.

"Alright then, you describe the map, and I'll be responsible for helping you determine the direction. Forget about those two sports cars; we will all ride in this off-road vehicle," Chen Mo commanded.

Upon hearing this, the corners of Jiang Xinyi's mouth curled up slightly.

"Hmph, it seems you've thought of a solution."

"No choice... President, you always like to play the pig to eat the tiger, knowing how to go but not saying anything."

"I originally wanted to play the role of the lurker, but well, since everyone here is an acquaintance, there's no need for me to hide my cards anymore."

Following Chen Mo's instructions, everyone got into the off-road vehicle, and the engine started.

Chen Mo's eyes slightly changed focus as he entered Management Group No. 5.
