“As long as you hit its brain, you can kill it.”
It seemed simple, yet these monsters’ brains were protected by their thick skull, and their bones were as hard as metal plates. The sound of bullets striking them was audible, and there was not even a trace of the broken bone fragment.
Of course, if the bullet could accurately hit the gap in the bone seam and enter the skull cavity, it could destroy the monsters’ brains, but the problem was that the monsters were not motionless paper man targets that soldiers could shoot whenever they pleased.
On the contrary, even if they were scared by the UV light, the three monsters’ motions remained unpredictable, and they got increasingly frenzied as a result of the discomfort from the scorching UV light, bouncing up and down like three large macaques.
Ji Dong felt that even if the shooter was replaced by one of those trained skeet shooters, hitting the target would be impossible in this circumstance.
“Shit, let me come!”
At this moment, Fatty Huang suddenly shouted.
When Ji Dong looked back, he saw the fat man, surname Huang, spit on the left and right of his two palms, rub them hard, and then took out a few small items from his pocket and gather them tightly in the palm of his hand.
He took out a bag very quickly. Even if Ji Dong had good eyes, he couldn’t clearly see it. He just thought it was a small metal object such as screws or nails.
“Have a taste of this you fuckers!”
Fatty Huang was sweating. He suddenly roared, raised his hand, and a silver light flew out of his palm, shooting at the nearest monster.
To tell the truth, the speed of what was shot from the palm of his hand was far slower than that of a bullet.
At this time, Ji Dong finally saw that it was a 3-4 centimeter long iron nail.
However, the nail, like a remote positioning system, slipped out in a very strange arc in mid-air and stabbed into the monster’s eye socket.
“Puff!”
The tip of the nail reached the brain through the optic nerve opening at the bottom of the eye socket. The monster didn’t say a word or even struggle before it fell into the hallway.
“Oh yeah!!”
Fatty Huang let out a triumphant roar.
Ji Dong could see it.
This must be his ability: moving objects or controlling metals.

“Ktf vlrajcmf mjc’a yf wbgf atjc akfcas wfafgr; teggs eq jcv ufa atf batfg akb bnfg tfgf!”
Fatty Huang’s face had turned red and his forehead was sweating. He couldn’t tell whether he was tired or suffocated. “Moreover, when my ability is activated, you must protect me!”
The brains of the remaining two monsters, on the other hand, were definitely far from useless; they still possessed a basic IQ.
Seeing that their prey had devised a strategy to deal with them, the two withered humanoid monsters did not attack them right away, but instead falsely made two deceptive movements, broke out of the crowd, turned around and bolted, smashed a window, leaped down, and rushed quickly in the direction of the lush forests.
Although only one monster was killed, the crisis was temporarily alleviated.
“Shit, what bad luck!”
Rose wiped the cold sweat off her face, scolded, and gathered everyone to inspect the damages and injuries.
Two of the ten local soldiers from the [Film] died. One had his neck bitten off and the other had a large tear in his chest. When the others had noticed them, they weren’t moving. They didn’t know if they had died of excessive blood loss or hemopneumothorax.
Among the remaining eight people, in addition to the two who were injured downstairs just now, three others have more or less suffered some injuries. However, Rose didn’t feel there were any life-threatening crises.
The most troublesome thing was that one of her companions had been seriously injured.
One of the two brothers, Xiong Er, had one of his arms bitten off by the monster. A fountain of blood poured from the shoulder where his arm used to be. Blood gushed out, and a pool of blood had formed beneath him. He was currently in a coma, which no one knew whether it was because of the pain or blood loss.
When Xiong Da saw his brother in this state, he fell into a daze. He picked up the man and shook him while calling his brother’s real name. He had forgotten about their agreement to use codenames in the [Film].
“Don’t panic!”
Rose came forward and pressed Xiong Da’s shoulder. “We have Linglong!”
She said firmly, “As long as he survives in this [Film] and returns to the [Peach Blossom Spring], his injury would not be a problem at all.”
She then turned around and ordered the uninjured soldiers, “Bring all the injured people to the room, come on!”
She paused, learned the lesson from the past, and added, “We must find a room without windows!”
—————————–
Soon after, all of the injured were transferred to a room near the stairs, while others were responsible for guarding the corridor against humanoid monsters that could attack at any time.
When Ji Dong and Ren Jianmo entered the room, they saw the quiet girl named Linglong squatting next to Xiong Er, her hands covering Xiong Er’s severed arm injury.
While Xiong Da dazedly stood by, grabbed his brother’s only hand, and refused to leave his side even for a moment.
Ji Dong immediately realized, “Is this a healing power?”
“Yes.”
Rose lit a cigarette and looked tired. “Linglong’s ability is to activate wounded cells and accelerate tissue regeneration and repair.”
She took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke ring.
“Although she can’t cure a serious injury like the one on Xiong Er, she can at least stop the bleeding and save his life.”
Ji Dong nodded, “It’s really a very useful ability,” he said sincerely.
At the very least, it seemed that Fatty Huang’s ability to manipulate nails or metals to shoot a humanoid monster and Linglong’s healing ability were more reliable than his damn [Ordinary Power Bank] ability.
“Yes, her ability saved my life in the last [Film].”
Rose lifted her chin toward Ji Dong’s waist, where the UV light was securely attached. “How did you know bringing that thing was a good idea?”
“Because we have a good military adviser.” Ji Dong answered and looked sideways at Ren Jianmo.
If this person hadn’t been careful enough to accurately capture the dodging action of monsters to UV lights from the trailer’s messy and compromised scenes, they wouldn’t have guessed that the weaknesses of those things were like vampires, and the soft tissue would carbonize in the face of UV light.
After listening to his explanation, Rose nodded, “So it was from the trailer. Indeed, none of the five of us found such a small detail. It seems that the people in your team are also very good.”
She took two more puffs.
“I don’t like to go around in circles. Let’s get straight to the point.” The red-haired beauty stared at them.
“The ‘things’ in this [Film] are much more powerful than those we met before. If it weren’t for your ultraviolet lamp, we would be wiped out before dawn.”
She pressed out her cigarette butt on the wall.
“People on our side have the ability to move sharp objects. When dealing with those skeleton monsters, they should be more effective than bullets, and your ultraviolet lamp can burn them… So let’s cooperate with each other to survive the [Film]. What do you think?”
Ji Dong nodded and smiled at her, “That’s what I planned.”
Ji Xiao’niao had a cute and harmless baby face, which was naturally very friendly. Especially for women, it was easier to stimulate their instinctive desire for protection.
Rose looked at his disorderly curly hair and crescent-shaped smiling eyes, and a sense of trust, similar to instinct, entered her heart, which she couldn’t even express.
She had many reasons to convince herself that for the sake of each other’s interests, the three strange players would be willing to cooperate with her. In fact, Rose had instinctively agreed that the child would be a trustworthy partner before any rational thought had occurred to her.
“We used to be coworkers at the same firm. When we returned to the National League facility in the highlands, the bus we were riding in veered down the cliff… We were all in the [Film] when we awoke.” The redhead lit the second cigarette, held it in her lips, and vaguely told her story. “We started with 32 people, but we lost thirteen in the first two rounds. What’s left of us…this time we’ve been divided into four groups. Here we are, the five of us…”
She gave a long sigh. “If I can, I hope I can take everyone back into our real world.”
Ji Dong let out a soft “ah”.
He remembered. At the end of last year, there was a piece of current events news that caused quite a sensation in China.
A foreign trade company organized a tour to the nearby mountain area in the middle of the year. However, something went horribly wrong. On the way over, the bus flipped over and plummeted down the cliff. Thirty-two passengers, including the driver, guide, and all of the passengers, did not return.
The bus sliding down a cliff catastrophe, on the other hand, had occurred for over a year, although they were clearly in the [Film] with level F difficulty. According to the rules of [Peach Blossom Spring], players could only select the [Film] with this difficulty the first three times. If they participated in the [Films] once a month, the time difference would be too great.
“Hehe, many newcomers find it difficult to adapt to the strange concept of time in the [Peach Blossom Spring] at the beginning.”
The red-haired beauty smiled as she noticed Ji Dong struggling to make sense of the timeline.
“After all, the time flow rate on both sides is completely different.”
She thought and tried to find a simple metaphor, “Take it as the heavenly legend. One day in the sky, one year on the earth… If one day you really go back, you may find that a whole hundred years have passed on the earth, and the great grandchildren of your high school classmates are older than you.”
Ji Dong nodded.
But now was not the time for them to explore the theory of relativity.
Compared with how long he lived in his original world, it was urgent to consider how to survive this [Film] safely.
Ji Dong exhaled and raised his finger to the corridor.
“Let’s go outside.”
He got a feeling that their existing customs clearance route wasn’t quite right.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the three humanoid monsters couldn’t even be killed with more than ten firearms right now. It was far too powerful.
As a result, Ji Dong was convinced that this [Film] could never be defeated by just battling bizarre monsters, hiding, and wasting time – the nearly motionless progress bar on his watch being the best evidence.
In other words, this simple and messy clinic was not a safe place at all.
It wouldn’t end so easily tonight.

The author has something to say:
Ji Xiao’niao: What should we do? I think we’ve taken the wrong route! Σ (っ° Д °;) っ
Ren Jianmo: Don’t worry, I’m here.
