This Game is Too Real

Chapter 374: It's okay if you don't change your mind

   Chapter 374 Actually, it's okay if you don't change your mind

   "Is that all right?"

   On the hilltop on the northwest side of Ruigu City, Sesame Paste looked up at the six balloons floating in the sky, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Always felt……

   This thing is a bit different from the "communication base station" she understands.

   Tail standing beside him was not at all worried, he got up from the ground with a roar, and clapped his hands when he was done.

   "Oh, no problem for sure! Every step of the tail is according to the instructions!"

   The so-called communication base station is actually a box the size of a washing machine and six hydrogen balloons connected by a string.

   Its usage is as simple and easy to understand as its structure.

   Find an open and relatively high place, put the signal repeater tied to the balloon to the sky, don't forget to turn on the power, and the whole set of equipment can start to work.

  There are two metal hydrogen batteries built into the device, which are enough to maintain rated power for at least a week when disconnected from the grid, and provide information services for VMs within a range of 10-20 kilometers.

  Although the channel width of the whole set of equipment is not large, it is not a problem to update map information and receive tasks on a scale of 1,000 people.

  Anyway, it is impossible for players to use VM to flash short videos in the game.

  As a substitute for satellites, this thing is similar to hot air balloon WiFi, and it can be said that it is very easy to use.

  The only thing to be aware of is that there is a risk of being struck by lightning on rainy days, and flying too high can easily attract predators or other strange things.

   However, these are actually small problems.

   As a temporary means of communication, it is enough for the whole device to provide communication services for 1 to 3 weeks, and no one expects it to work all the time.

The communication system of the    Alliance mainly relies on optical cables, cables, large signal towers and countless small base stations.

  These facilities will be constructed by professionals.

   "Let's go, let's go back to the camp to find Sisi and Rourou to meet up!" After confirming that the signal was in good condition, he put away the VM with his tail, and reached out to grab the backpack that was thrown on the ground.

   There are some climbing tools inside.

  It took a lot of effort to bring the iron box up.

   "But... just leave it here like this, does it really matter?"

   looked worriedly at the six balloons in the sky that had already flown far away, and the sesame paste was still a little uneasy.

   "Don't worry, this is a wasteland, how can there be so many people. And it took us so long for the Awakened of the Agile Department to climb up, so there will be no problem!"

   gave his companion a convincing look, and the tail said with reason.

   "And even if it breaks, it doesn't matter. I believe that our respected Mr. Manager will definitely send another plane over here!"

  …

   Just when Tail and Sesame Paste deployed the communication base station, Si Si was standing in a tent, watching the man named Luo Hua lying on the bed.

   The current situation of this NPC cannot be described by a simple word "miserable".

   His body was covered with bandages, almost wrapped into a zongzi, and his weak breathing seemed to be likely to die at any time.

   If he suffered such a serious injury in the real world, he could basically explain the aftermath, but this is the game world after all, and the key plot characters should not die so easily.

  Siss guessed that he should have some bionic parts on him, so he could not swallow for half a breath.

  The bionic parts of the ideal city, one is worth hundreds of thousands!

  It doesn't matter if people are okay.

   In case something happens.

   Can't be wasted...

At this moment, Kaliman, who was also standing in the tent, didn't know what "evil" thoughts the beautiful girl beside him was thinking about, and thought that the lowered eyebrows were feeling for the experience of his companion. sad.

   He sighed softly and said in a comforting tone.

   "His physique is good, and his recovery is fairly fast. Most people are injured so badly, I'm afraid they would have returned to the arms of the desert spirit long ago."

  Siss nodded.

"Um……"

   Seeing the girl's silent appearance, Kaliman couldn't help feeling a little distressed, but he couldn't think of anything to comfort him.

   thought for a while.

   He suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and said slowly.

"The Prophet told us that our world will one day return to the embrace of the spirit of the sand sea, and the legion that gallops around the universe will bring down the final judgment at the time of doom. But until eternal peace and silence come, we should abide by mercy and not Abandon any of our fellow men, men or women, free or slave, caught in the quicksand...that will lessen our sins."

  Siss looked at him blankly, not knowing what this NPC was suddenly talking to himself.

   But Kalliman didn't stop explaining and continued.

"We set off from Oasis 9 and headed to the giant wall in the southern valley of the province. We shouldn't have been on the road for so long, but when he cast his pleading eyes on us, we couldn't watch him being swallowed by the yellow sand. "

  Siss: "Uh, thanks."

"Ashamed, I really don't deserve your thanks," Kaliman said with a complicated expression, "because just last night, I was still discussing with my companions and planning to throw him to you... After all, we have already After leaving the desert, there is no obligation to take him with him anymore. The road ahead is not easy, and he is completely a burden to be injured like this."

  Siss just wanted to say that it's okay, just leave it to her, but this man didn't give her a chance to speak, and made a decision without authorization.

   "But now, I've changed my mind."

"Beyond the sea of ​​sand is a wilderness, full of dangerous beasts and bloodthirsty barbarians, far from the embrace of a great being... I can't leave this trouble to a group of women who are helpless, it goes against my heart Belief!"

  Siss stared blankly at this guy.

   After a while, she said in a non-standard language.

   "...Actually you don't have to change your mind."

However……

   Maybe her expression was too euphemistic, this guy called Kaliman was completely immersed in his own world.

   "Don't be embarrassed, I'm just implementing the teachings of the Sand Sea Spirit! I'll stay with half of the guards and accompany you on your way."

   "Until you return home safely."

   Those gentle eyes made Sisi get goosebumps all over the place.

   Just as she was about to say something, the VM on her arm suddenly vibrated.

   A light blue pop-up window flashed on the screen. It was a communication request from the manager, which interrupted the language she had just organized.

   "I'm going to explain the follow-up itinerary with my companion."

   bowed a gentleman, Kaliman turned and left the tent, leaving only the sleepy Luo Hua and Sisi, who couldn't laugh or cry.

   "Forget it... I'll explain it later."

   Never leave the manager's phone on the sidelines.

   Compared to wild NPCs with unknown paths, of course the favorability of the faction leader is more important.

   Raised his hair and put on his headphones, Sisi reached out and pressed the switch button, a calm and handsome face quickly appeared on the VM screen.

   "Dear Mr. Manager, I was late for a while, what's the matter?"

   "Where's Luo Hua?"

"He's here."

   was not surprised how the manager got the news. Sisi adjusted the direction of the headset and pointed the camera at the bed beside him.

   Seeing that the man wrapped in zongzi was still breathing, Chu Guang heaved a sigh of relief and asked slowly.

   "How is his condition?"

  Siss shook his head.

   "It's hard to say, he has a very severe high fever and has not regained consciousness yet. I suggest letting him rest here for a few days before the injury is stable."

   With his current physical condition, if he continues on the road, he might die on the road.

  They carried some basic medical supplies on their truck, including hemostatic bandages, syringes, infusion bags, saline, glucose, antibiotics, and more.

  Although most players will resolutely choose to reopen after being seriously injured, after all, long-distance travel is different from activities around the resurrection point, and the cost of death is too heavy.

  Rescue or rescue.

   Hearing Si Si's suggestion, Chu Guang nodded slowly.

   He remembered that the player seemed to be working in a hospital in reality. Although it was not a popular department, he should still have basic medical knowledge.

   "Then as you said, let him rest here for a while."

   "Just tell me if you need anything. During this time, please take care of him. When he wakes up, please tell me as soon as possible!"

  Siss gave the camera a thumbs up.

   "Oh, leave it to me!"

  Although she is not a very good doctor, she will try her best.

   After the communication ended, a light blue pop-up window appeared on the VM screen. Seeing the previously triggered task, Sisi showed a surprised expression on his face.

   "2000 credits and 1000 contribution points?!"

   So much?

   Generally, in the level range of LV10~LV20, the quest rewards are in the early three digits. It is quite rare for a single person to reward 1,000 silver coins.

   Especially the 1000 point contribution.

   is unbelievably generous.

   However, there was no surprise expression on her face, she touched her chin and fell into contemplation.

   "...Looking at it this way, maybe there are follow-up missions."

   I always feel that this trip has become troublesome...

  …

   At the entrance of the camp, four guards with live ammunition are on duty.

   Kaliman, who went out from here earlier, has disappeared, probably to discuss with his companions.

   Looking at Sisi who walked outside through the door curtain, Rourou, who was squatting next to the truck, immediately leaned up and asked with a worried look.

   "How about the NPC's situation?"

  Because she was worried about scaring the patient, she thoughtfully did not go in, but stayed beside the truck.

   "I haven't woken up yet, so the signal came just now. The manager told us to take care of that NPC. It is estimated that other tasks will be triggered after waking up."

   "I also received it just now, and the reward is actually 2,000 silver coins!" Rou Rou said excitedly.

   "The more rewards you give, the more difficult the troubles you may encounter. The goods we are pulling now have 200,000 silver coins... To be honest, I don't really want to make extra troubles, but I can't leave him alone."

  Siss sighed a little nervously, looked at the flesh and said.

   "I'm going to get some hot water. Do you remember where the medical kit is?"

   "It's in the car, I remember the location!" Rourou vigorously patted his chest with his bear claw, "Leave it to me!"

   "Then please."

   took off the water bottle hanging on the side of the truck, and Sisi walked in the direction of the well, but before she could go far, a strange feeling suddenly climbed into her heart.

   Squinting his eyes slightly, Si Si glanced around, but apart from the rows of tents, there was no one in sight.

   Yet this is where the anomaly lies.

  There is no real safe zone in the wasteland, and the Katyn Station with only a mere 100 permanent residents is even less likely to be such a place.

   The tent was still there, but the people were gone, not even a person to look at the luggage. The law and order here is obviously not so good as to not pick up things on the road.

in this case.

  There is only one possibility...

The expression on   's face didn't change, Sisi was planning to go back the same way.

   But just as she took a step back, the sound of rustling footsteps came from behind the rows of tents.

  The group of people wore black cloaks, blocking all her escape routes.

   "Obviously it's coming for me..."

   When she saw the quest reward earlier, she had an ominous feeling in her heart that something bad might happen.

   I just didn’t expect everything to come so quickly.

   silently scolded the dog's plan in his heart, Sisi completely gave up the plan to escape, and while putting his right hand into his pocket, counted the people around him.

The number of    is not much, only eleven.

   However, Sisi knew very well that there were probably only a part of those standing in the bright spot, and the others were probably pointing their guns here at a distance.

   The man closest to her was probably the leader of the group, and the middle part of the raised nose was quite similar to some people in the prisoner of war camp.

   The other ten were the same.

   The identities of these people are self-evident.

   She can guess with her toes.

   "Are you from the Legion?"

   "Your response is very sharp, which is worthy of praise." The man in the first place glanced admiringly at the girl in front of him, "It's a pity, it's still a little late."

   The dark muzzle loomed under the cloak, Sisi glanced silently at their weapon, which was all Pu-9.

   This submachine gun, which fires 9mm subsonic bullets, can pour a huge amount of firepower on close-range targets in a short period of time.

  Due to its fast rate of fire and low recoil, although this submachine gun is the standard weapon of the legion, many survivors have imitated it.

   However, this weapon still has a fatal flaw.

   That is the penetration is too weak!

  Although the huge kinetic energy can still form effective killing, for some bulky alien species, this small water pipe cannot be broken at all.

  Siss is well aware of the capabilities of this weapon.

   After all, she has used it herself.

   "I advise you not to act rashly, even if you are an awakened person, you can't stop the bullet," the man looked at her with a smile.

   "Oh, what do you want."

   "Bring that Luo Hua out and give it to us."

   "What if I refuse?"

The smile on   's face didn't change, but the man's eyes turned cold.

   "That would be the worst possible outcome. We don't want to kill, but if you force us to do it, we won't be lenient."

  Siss laughed suddenly.

   "When did the Legion make such a sense?"

   The man raised his chin slightly.

   "We always convince people with reason. Now, slowly take your hand out of your pocket, then squat on the ground with your head over your head."

   "Or we'll cut a few holes in you first."

   It seems that they are probably trying to catch them alive...

   And there should not be too many people, otherwise there is no need to wait for yourself to place an order, find a time to go directly and it will be over.

  Sisi silently pulled his right hand out of his pocket while thinking about it in his heart.

   The people present did not notice that there was a light silver ring on the wrist of her right hand.

  The silver ring contains six magnetic projectiles with a diameter of less than 5mm. After activation, the projectiles will float around the bracelet and launch projectiles according to the preset attack command.

   Its name is Magnetic Slingshot.

   Since the maximum kill range is only 20 meters, and the caliber of the projectile is too small, this is a flashy piece of equipment.

   At the end of the last expansion, she was lucky enough to draw this piece of equipment, but she soon discovered that it was more tasteless than expected, so she never used it in actual combat.

but……

   I didn’t expect it to come in handy today.

   "It looks like I'm going to break a few ribs..." Sisi meditated in his heart, waiting for the bracelet to automatically lock to the nearest target, and was ready to lie down.

   Seeing that there was no weapon in her open palm, a happy smile appeared on the man's face.

   "Very well, now crouch down—"

   The voice has not yet fallen, and the sound of breaking through the air rushed in all directions.

   A warning sign suddenly rose in the man's heart, and he fell to the ground almost subconsciously.

   And that scorching hot touch flew over his head almost at the same time, and even burned his scalp.

What it is? !

   Looking at the five brothers who had fallen with blood holes on their foreheads, his eyes were instantly red with blood, and he roared and ordered.

   "Fire! Kill her for Lao Tzu!"

   No need to order at all—

   Almost at the moment when the mutation occurred, his soldiers had already pulled the trigger.

  The five PU-9 submachine guns spewed out flames in unison, and the fierce firepower broke out in an instant!

  Siss, who was shot several times in his body, groaned, taking advantage of the brief gap in the siege, and desperately crashed into the tent beside him.

The   9mm warhead failed to penetrate the devil silk body armor, but even so, the huge kinetic energy still broke several of her ribs.

  Fortunately, the extreme pain sensation was blocked by the helmet.

  Otherwise, even though the physique-type Awakener has extremely strong resilience and resilience, the momentary pain just now was enough to make her faint.

The bullets shot from    almost followed her footsteps and got into the tent.

  “Tsk—”

   "Empty shot!"

   That piece of broken equipment is really unreliable...

   Before he could hesitate, Si Si decisively pulled out his dagger, cut a hole in the back of the tent, and rushed out without stopping.

   Struggling to get up from the ground, the man with the bulging nose looked at the tent that was smashed into a sieve by bullets, completely stunned.

  I was shot more than a dozen times and it was still the same.

   Is this still human? !

really!

but--

  Whether it is or not, there is no time to hesitate now.

   "Follow me!" Grabbing the submachine gun on the ground, he roared and beckoned his men to catch up.

   However, at this moment, a deafening roar came from the side.

  A white bear with a steel plate hanging on its chest suddenly came into everyone's sight.

   The man looked over there suddenly, his eyes shrank suddenly, and a trace of panic was instantly imprinted on his entire face.

   It wasn't the white bear with claws that frightened him, but the rows of tents that were run over by the wheels, and the trucks that were ramming straight towards them.

  The heavy machine gun welded to the roof of the car was already aimed straight at him.

   "S-! Hold on!"

   "We're here to help you!!"

-

(Thanks to the leader of "Empty Spirit" for the reward! To be honest, when I wrote this thank you, I felt very ashamed... Recently, the speed of codewords has indeed dropped drastically, and the speed has not even reached 1000 per hour. Sometimes I want to try my best to imagine it. The plot in the book was written, but it always felt a little bit worse... I'm sorry brothers.)
