The bloody twin moons are still hanging in the sky, and the sky is also blood red.
No active players can be seen in the life zone at this moment.
"It's only the second day, and the atmosphere is already getting more and more anxious. If this continues, something will happen." Watanabe Hiroki, or the man whose player ID is Auston, said.
The appearance he uses is also the same as the appearance in Sword Art Online. He has red hair and blue eyes, and looks determined and optimistic.
Completely opposite to the gloomy and violent appearance of Sora Sakai, who also has red hair and blue eyes.
At this moment, he and another group of figures gathered together.
There were about forty or fifty people.
Everyone was scattered in various corners of the abandoned room.
Gathered together in twos and threes.
They are members of the Aurora Wings in Sword Art Online. Like Auston, they accepted the invitation to the Life Zone and were trapped in the game.
Everyone has weapons on them, shotguns, sniper rifles, pistols, grenades...
They were all hot weapons. Some people looked at the guns and didn't know what to do. Others started to take the guns apart awkwardly and get familiar with its composition.
Most people have never touched a real gun, even in games.
The only virtual reality game they have ever been exposed to is Sword Art Online, and Sword Art Online is a world of swords and magic.
Everyone learned sword skills and magic chanting in Sword Art Online.
But in the restricted area of life, these are completely useless.
They are completely new players and need to learn how to play the game from scratch.
"This game forces us to kill each other. Sooner or later, someone will be killed. It depends on who will take action first." The blond and green-eyed boy sat cross-legged in the corner and slowly reassembled the disassembled parts.
Assembled into a gun.
"Don't say such depressing words, Migru-chan." The ordinary-looking man said with a cheerful smile.
"I will get out alive." The blond boy with blue eyes said casually, but also seemed to be declaring something.
Obviously what he said was that he would get out alive, but the sound of it made people feel chilly.
He will get out alive, even if he kills other players.
As long as he can survive, he will do whatever it takes.
"I will lead everyone through the customs," the group leader Auston said.
He has a strong sense of responsibility for the members of his adventure group.
"Everyone is hiding now, no one wants to come out, and they are afraid of being assassinated if they go out..." The girl with pink twintails looked horrified, as if she was very scared, hugging her knees tightly, huddled in the corner.
That day, after the figure of the man who called himself GM disappeared, all the players ran towards the surrounding houses after the initial panic.
Players who were lucky enough to arrive at the same house reached a consensus and became companions.
After all, the number of people who have cleared the game is a thousand, not one.
The more people the team has, the stronger it is, and the more likely it is to survive.
The place once known as the City of Bright Moon was indeed very large.
Ten thousand people were scattered in this city of steel ruins without causing any movement.
It still looks like a deserted ruin.
"When the hunger value turns red, the health bar will also drop, and we may starve to death in the game." Auston said while looking at the orange hunger value displayed in front of him and the introduction that followed the data.
"But this is an abandoned city, and the land cannot grow food. The only source of food is food scattered in various houses." The blond boy with blue eyes had a very cold and gloomy expression.
"If we don't want to starve to death, we have to go out and constantly look for the remaining food in the city. Otherwise, we will starve to death ourselves without waiting for others to take action."
"This game is forcing us to go out and not hide in the house all the time."
"Limited food, a thousand people to clear the level, weapons everywhere..."
"It means forcing us to go out and kill people, or be killed." He said in a very pessimistic and world-weary tone.
"When everyone goes out to look for food, try to be careful. It is best to go in groups and not alone." Auston said with a solemn and happy expression.
The environment provided by the Life Forbidden Zone is an environment that will lead players to kill each other.
"Currently, the food here is not enough for everyone. I'll go look for it. Does anyone want to go with me?" Auston stood up and spoke calmly.
He does have leadership qualities.
"I'll go with you." The blond boy stood up holding the gun.
"I'll go too." The pink-haired girl also stood up.
"I'll go with you too." The ordinary man with a very generous smile also stood up.
"Then add me." The black-haired and black-eyed boy also stood up.
"Then let's just be the five of us. The others are waiting for us here. With so many people gathered together, even if we encounter danger, we will definitely be able to solve it," Auston said.
He led four teammates out of the house.
There was no one outside the house.
The wind blowing by carried the rancid smell of blood and gunpowder smoke.
As they appeared outside the house, movement gradually came from not far away.
A beast that has lost its basic human appearance, has a terrifying face, and grins from ear to ear appears.
A brown, foul-smelling liquid dripped from its mouth.
"You three are going to find food, Migru and I are blocking it." Auston said.
When the beast saw the people in action, it suddenly sped up and rushed towards them.
The first person to bear the brunt was Auston himself, who avoided the beast's claws with nimble movements.
However, he discovered that the claw was just a feint shot from the beast, and the other party's real target was another person.
"Bang--"
"Bang bang bang——"
The blond boy with blue eyes gritted his teeth to avoid the beast's surprise attack, and pulled down the gun in his hand without hesitation.
Bullets were fired one after another, all empty.
The beast quickly approached and slashed its claws across the young man's body, leaving streaks of blood.
The sharp fangs exuding a foul odor pierced the young man's shoulder hard.
Makes the sound of bones breaking.
"Migru——" Auston's eyes widened.
"Go to hell -" When the blond boy was bitten, he turned against the enemy and grabbed the beast fiercely with one arm. The other hand holding the gun pressed against the beast's chest and pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang——"
Three gunshots were fired in succession, and he pulled away the head of the beast biting his shoulder.
He fiercely raised his gun and shot at the beast's brain again.
"100% pain, this game is really real." He let go of the beast's hand and said mockingly.
"Are you okay?" Auston's eyes were anxious.
Everything seems to take a long time, but in fact it only happens in an instant.
He didn't have time to save the other party.
If Migru hadn't killed the beast himself...
"The health value dropped by about 30%, which is not considered a fatal injury." The blond boy said while looking at the health value.
Although there were injuries on the shoulders and chest, they were not fatal.
Such as carotid arteries, heart, and brain.
If these parts are injured, the health value will probably drop to zero.
"Captain, this game is more exciting than Sword Art Online." The blond boy said to Auston.
"The fear that I will really die..." He touched the scratches on his chest.
"It's so exciting, I must live." He said.
"Go back first. Your wound needs to be treated. I don't know if the medicine can still be used." Auston frowned and said.
Migru stopped talking and quietly put away his gun.
After the other three people who collected food came out, everyone hurried back to the house where the big team was.
