There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

After that, relying on this system, the computer automatically assigned Lu Qing an empty tent.

To prevent Lu Qing from getting lost, Victor eventually led her to the tent arranged by the system.

Lu Qing shared a tent with a white woman whose entire arm had been replaced with a mechanical one, giving her a punk-like appearance.

Based on everything she had seen before, Lu Qing was certain that this dream instance was set in a cyberpunk-style world.

------------

Chapter 129: The Uninvited Guest at Night

What is cyberpunk?

Lu Qing couldn't quite figure it out for a moment.

She just felt that she seemed to have a pretty deep impression of the word.

At the same time, the things in front of him did indeed seem to be described as cyberpunk.

Shaking her head to clear her mind of all those random thoughts, Lu Qing looked at her roommate...

Yes, people who live in the same dormitory are called roommates, so people who live in the same tent are called tentmates, which is absolutely correct.

Ahem, just kidding.

The other person was a white woman, I don't know if she was American or what, but she looked quite white.

Lu Qing chatted with her for a while, but eventually found that the two of them really didn't have much in common.

There's no way around it; after all, we're from different worlds. Our values ​​and knowledge are too different, so it's hard to find anything we can talk about.

Despite this, the white woman treated Lu Qing very kindly.

Moreover, Lu Qing felt that the other person was always observing her, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and she didn't know if it was just her imagination.

Although Lu Qing felt a little awkward about this, she didn't know how to bring it up, so she could only let the other person see it.

Anyway, being seen won't hurt me or anything, so let them see.

With that thought in mind, as night fell, Lu Qing curled up in her sleeping bag and fell into a deep sleep.

She had been walking in the wilderness for four days without food or water, and was truly exhausted. She lay in the warm tent, but soon lost consciousness.

......

Time flies, and three days have passed since Lu Qing joined the team.

For Lu Qing, nothing major happened during these three days.

It's nothing more than eating, drinking, relieving oneself, traveling, and sleeping.

She didn't know many people in the convoy, and Lu Qing didn't plan to talk to too many people, since she would be leaving the convoy after arriving in Night City.

According to Victor, the entire convoy is now only half a day's journey away from Night City.

However, before entering Night City, they need to rest for a night in a small town outside Night City before entering Night City.

Lu Qing had no objection to this, since there was still plenty of time before the main goal of the first stage was achieved.

However, there was one thing she was still concerned about: she was curious whether she would encounter other players in the town.

After all, everyone is going to enter the Night City, and other players might also settle in the towns outside the Night City.

However, Lu Qing wasn't entirely sure about this, since not all players would stay in the town outside Night City with a whole convoy.

They might just go straight into Night City.

As I was thinking this, some buildings gradually appeared on the distant horizon. If you looked with an eagle's eye, you could see the words written on the signs erected in the town.

Welcome to Hanktown!

The convoy of over three thousand people was quite conspicuous, and a large crowd quickly gathered in front of the town.

However, Victor had obviously spoken to the town mayor beforehand, and soon the crowd gathered in front of the town was dispersed by the town's police station.

The convoy stopped on the outskirts of the town, preparing to spend the night.

However, Lu Qing felt that something was off about the town, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

After staring at the direction of the town for a while and observing carefully, Lu Qing finally realized that something was wrong.

It's too quiet.

Even though it was almost night, the town shouldn't be this quiet.

There was hardly a soul on the streets, and the residents of these small towns didn't even turn on their lights after it got dark!

At that moment, the bulletin board in her mind suddenly started vibrating.

You sensed something was amiss in the town. Upon closer reflection, you noticed a deep-seated fear in the townspeople's eyes when the convoy arrived during the day. They seemed afraid of the coming of night, yet simultaneously hoped that some threat posed by the night would be eliminated by the convoy of outsiders.

[Secondary objective triggered!]

Eliminate the uninvited guests of the night!

The townspeople have been terrified of the nights lately because for the past month, a terrifying howl has been emanating from the air every night. For the first few days, nothing seemed amiss; everyone assumed it was some prankster. But then, several victims appeared, their bodies disemboweled, their faces contorted with horror, as if they had witnessed something horrific before they died…

"The secondary objective was triggered?"

Lu Qing looked at the notice board in surprise, not expecting that the secondary objective would be triggered so easily.

It seems the system wanted each player to have different secondary objectives, which is why it created this trigger-based system.

"This is a bit tricky," Lu Qing thought, frowning.

Since the system had already said that there would be uninvited guests at night, then the other party would definitely come. But the problem was, what exactly was this uninvited guest, and how powerful was he? Lu Qing had no idea.

Regardless, she felt it was necessary to inform Victor.

To avoid the convoy being unable to react when these uninvited guests arrive.

As for how to talk to Viktor about this, Lu Qing felt she needed to think it over carefully.

........

Finding Victor wasn't difficult; all he had to do was talk to the guards in the convoy.

After Lu Qing greeted the guard, she had the guard call Victor, saying that there was something important.

Because Viktor had instructed his guards not to refuse Lu Qing if she wanted to see him, the guards readily notified Viktor.

Even so, ten minutes had already passed by the time Lu Qing saw Viktor.

"I heard from the guards that you have something important to tell me?" Victor got straight to the point.

"Mm." Lu Qing nodded and said:

"There's something wrong with this town."

"What's the problem?" Victor asked, puzzled.

He originally thought that Lu Qing had called him over because she had changed her mind, but he didn't expect that Lu Qing would tell him that there was a problem with this town.

“When the townspeople came before, I noticed that they looked at us as if we were dead. In addition, I also found some blood, drag marks, and places where the soil had been dug up and then covered up again near the town,” Lu Qing said.

These are, of course, lies. Although there was indeed a period of time when she could move freely around the town, Lu Qing did not conduct such a detailed investigation around the town at that time.

Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, Victor became serious. He thought back carefully and realized that everyone in the town, including the police, seemed to be fully armed and carrying weapons. And so far, no one in the town had turned on any lights.

Based on what Lu Qing said, Victor felt more and more uneasy!

------------

Chapter 130: Werewolf Raid (Thanks to Pet Master for the 1500 Qidian Coins!)

"I understand, I'll make the arrangements," Victor said to Lu Qing with a serious expression.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it," Lu Qing said.

"I hope so."

After the two finished speaking, Viktor hurriedly left, alerting everyone in the convoy to guard against any unknown threats.

The guards picked up their weapons and began patrolling around the camp.

And so, as the last rays of the setting sun faded, all the lights in the convoy came on.

Lu Qing, using the camp's lights, looked towards the town. Sure enough, even now, no one in the town had their lights on.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing summoned Wayne over.

Because she had to follow the convoy these days, Lu Qing didn't bring Wayne with her, but instead had Wayne follow the convoy at a distance where he wouldn't be detected.

Anyway, she didn't need to worry about food, as Wayne wasn't a picky eater.

After all, he was just an ordinary crow before, and Wayne was used to eating the carcasses of wild animals or insects.

However, there is a problem with doing this: whenever Lu Qing needs Wayne, she has to use a drop of her own blood to summon him.

I wonder if the cabin will be upgraded in the future so that she can talk to Wayne from a distance or something. It's too troublesome to always do it like this.

"Gah, good evening, my dear little master. What can I do for you?" Wayne said after being summoned out of the dark room.

"Stop fooling around." Lu Qing tapped Wayne on the head speechlessly, then said, "Fly up in the sky and check if there are any suspicious people or strange creatures."

“I am happy to serve you,” Viin said, bowing to Lu Qing.

After saying that, he flapped his wings and flew up from the ground, merging into the dark sky.

"I wonder if he's been reading some strange books lately..." Lu Qing thought, watching Wayne's figure disappear.

After waiting on the ground for about three minutes, when Wayne reappeared in Eagle Eyes, Lu Qing waited until he was right in front of her and quickly asked:

"Did you find anything?"

“Gah, some monsters are sneaking closer in the dark. Besides them, I also spotted a person,” Wayne said.

"Could you describe what those monsters looked like in detail? And what about that person? Were they carrying any weapons or anything?" Lu Qing asked.

“Hmm… let the bird think.” Wayne pondered for a moment, seemingly trying to figure out how to describe what he was seeing. After a while, he spoke:

"Those monsters had black fur all over their bodies, stood on their feet, had sharp claws on their two thick arms, and had pairs of emerald green vertical pupils that emitted a faint light in the darkness, suggesting that they had night vision."

"That person was a man, with a mace and a small round shield hanging from his waist, wearing leather armor. Other than that, nothing else could be discerned. He was also quietly approaching the caravan, and somehow managed to follow behind those monsters without being detected."
