This game is too real.

Chapter 374 Actually It's Okay If You Don't Change Your Mind

"Is that enough?"

On the hilltop to the northwest of Ruigu City, Sesame Paste looked up at the six balloons floating towards the sky, with a trace 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 worried at all, he got up from the ground with a hey, and clapped his hands when he was done.

"Oh, it's definitely all right! Every step of the tail follows 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 with a balloon into the sky, don't forget to turn on the power, and the whole set of equipment can start working.

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

Although the channel width of the entire set of equipment is not large, it is no problem to meet the task of updating map information and receiving tasks on a scale of thousands of people.

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

As a satellite substitute, this thing has the same effect as the hot air balloon WiFi, and it can be said to be very easy to use.

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

However, these are actually minor issues.

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

The alliance's communication system mainly relies on optical cables, cables, large signal towers, and countless small base stations.

These facilities will be built by professionals.

"Let's go, let's go back to the camp to meet Sisi and Rourou!" After confirming that the signal is 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 her a lot of effort to move the iron box up.

"But... Is it really okay to leave it here like this?"

Glancing worriedly at the six balloons that had already flown away in the sky, Sesame Paste was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, this is a wasteland, there are so many people. Besides, it took so long for us Awakened of the agility department to climb up, so it will definitely be fine!"

Giving his companion a convincing look, Tail said with reason.

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

……

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

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

His body was covered with bandages, and he was almost wrapped into a rice dumpling. His weak breathing seemed to be the possibility of death at any time.

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

Sisi reckoned that some bionic parts should be installed on his body, so he was able to hold his breath for a while without swallowing.

The bionic parts of Ideal City are worth hundreds of thousands!

It doesn't matter if people are fine.

In case something happens.

Can't waste it...

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

He sighed softly and said in a comforting tone.

"His physique is good, and he recovered fairly quickly. Most people who have suffered such serious injuries may have returned to the embrace of the desert spirit long ago."

Sisi nodded.

"Um……"

Seeing the girl's silence, Kaliman couldn't help but feel distressed, but he couldn't think of anything to comfort her.

thought for a while.

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

"The prophet told us that one day our world will return to the embrace of the spirit of the sand sea, and the legions galloping around the universe will bring down the final judgment at the last moment. However, before the eternal peace and silence come, we should abide by mercy and not Abandon any of our fellow men, men and women, free men or slaves, caught in the quicksand .

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

However, Kaliman did not stop explaining, and continued.

"We set off from the No. 9 oasis and headed for the giant wall in the south of the River Valley Province. We shouldn't have been delayed so long on the road, but when he cast his pleading eyes on us, we couldn't help but watch him being swallowed by the yellow sand. "

Sis: "Uh, thanks."

"I'm 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 about throwing him to you... After all, we have After leaving the desert, I have no obligation to take him with me anymore. The road ahead will not be easy, and he is completely a burden after being injured like this."

Sisi just wanted to say no problem, just leave it to her, but this man didn't give her a chance to speak, and made a decision without authorization with a resolute expression on his face.

"But now, I've changed my mind."

"Beyond the sea of ​​sand is a wilderness, full of dangerous beasts and bloodthirsty barbarians, far away from the embrace of great beings... I can't leave this trouble to a group of helpless ladies, it's against my will Belief!"

Sisi stared blankly at the guy.

After a while, she spoke in a non-standard human connection.

"...Actually, you don't need to change your mind."

however……

Perhaps her way of expression was too euphemistic, this guy named Kaliman was completely immersed in his own world.

"Don't be embarrassed, I'm just implementing the teachings of the spirit of the sand sea! I will stay with half of the guards and accompany you on the road."

"Until you return to your hometown safely."

The gentle look in his eyes made Sisi's skin crawl all over.

Just when she was about to say something, the VM on her arm suddenly shook.

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

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

Gentlemanly bowed, Kaliman turned and left the tent, leaving only the sleeping Luo Hua and the dumbfounding Sisi staying in place.

"Forget it... I will explain later."

You can't put the manager's phone call on the sidelines.

Compared with wild NPCs with unknown origins, the faction leader's favorability is of course more important.

Pulling up his hair and putting on the earphones, Sisi reached out and pressed the on button, and a calm and handsome face soon appeared on the VM screen.

"Dear Mr. Manager, I was delayed for a while just now, what can I do?"

"Where's Luo Hua?"

"He's here."

Not surprised how the manager got the news, Sis adjusted the direction of the headset and pointed the camera at the bed next to him.

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

"How is he doing?"

Sisi shook his head.

"It's hard to say. He has a very high fever and has not yet regained consciousness. I suggest that he be allowed to rest here for a few days before the injury stabilizes."

With his current physical condition, if he continued on the journey, he might die on the way.

Their trucks carried some basic medical supplies, including hemostatic bandages, syringes, infusion bags, saline, glucose and antibiotics, etc.

Although most players will decisively choose to reopen after serious injuries, long-distance travel is not the same as activities around the resurrection point after all, and the cost of death is too heavy.

If it can be rescued, it must be rescued.

Hearing Sisi's suggestion, Chu Guang nodded slowly.

He remembered that this player seemed to work in a hospital in reality. Although it was not a popular department, he still had basic medical knowledge.

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

"If you need anything, just tell me. During this time, I will trouble you to take care of him. When he wakes up, please tell me as soon as possible!"

Sisi gave the camera a thumbs up.

"Oh, leave it to me!"

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

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

"2000 silver coins and 1000 contribution points?!"

so many?
Generally, in the level range of LV10~LV20, the task rewards are only in the early three digits.Quests that reward 1000 silver coins for a single person are already quite rare.

Especially 1000 point contribution.

It's unbelievably generous.

However, she didn't show a surprised expression on her face, instead she touched her chin and fell into deep thought.

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

I always feel that this journey has become more troublesome...

……

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

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

Looking at Sisi who walked outside through the curtain, Rourou, who was squatting next to the truck, immediately leaned up and asked worriedly.

"What about the NPC?"

Because she was worried about scaring the patient, she thoughtfully didn't go in, but stood by the truck.

"I haven't woken up yet. The signal came just now. The manager ordered us to take care of that NPC. After waking up, other tasks will probably be triggered."

"I also received it just now, and the reward is actually 2000 silver coins!" Rourou said excitedly.

"The more rewards you give, the more difficult the troubles you may encounter. The goods we are pulling now are at least 20 silver coins... To be honest, I don't want to make extra troubles, but I can't leave him alone."

Sisi sighed a little nervously, looked at Rourou and said.

"I'll get some hot water and come back, do you remember where the medical kit is?"

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

"Then please."

After taking down the kettle hanging from the side of the truck, Sisi walked towards the well, but before she had gone far, a strange feeling suddenly crept into her heart.

Slightly squinting his eyes, Sisi scanned the surroundings, but apart from rows of tents, there was no one in sight.

But therein lies the anomaly.

There is no real safe zone in the wasteland, and the Katyn Station, which only has a permanent population of more than a hundred, is even less likely to be such a place.

The tent was still there, but no one was there, not even a person who looked after the luggage.The law and order here is obviously not so good that you don't pick up lost things on the road.

in this case.

There is only one possibility...

The expression on his face did not change, Sisi was planning to return 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.

"It's obviously coming for me..."

When she saw the mission reward earlier, she had an ominous premonition that something bad might happen.

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

Silently scolding the dog plan in his heart, Sisi completely gave up his plan to escape, and while putting his right hand into his pocket, he counted the people around him.

The number of people is not many, only eleven.

However, Sisi knew very well that perhaps only some of them were standing in the open, and some of them were probably pointing guns at this side from a farther place.

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

The same goes for the other ten people.

The identities of these people are self-evident.

She can guess with her toes.

"Are you from the Legion?"

"Your reaction is very sharp and deserves praise." The man standing at the top gave the girl in front of him an appreciative glance, "But unfortunately, it's still a bit late."

The muzzle of the black hole loomed under the cloak, and Sisi silently glanced at their weapons, all of which were Pu-9.

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

Due to its fast rate of fire and low recoil, although this submachine gun is a standard weapon of the Legion, many survivor settlements have imitations.

However, this weapon still has a fatal flaw.

That is, the penetrating power is too weak!
Although the huge kinetic energy can still form an effective kill, for some huge alien species, this small water pipe can't break the defense at all.

Sis is well aware of the capabilities of this weapon.

After all, she has used it herself.

"I advise you not to act rashly, even an awakened person can't stop bullets," 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 his face remained unchanged, 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."

Sisi suddenly laughed.

"When did the Legion be so reasonable?"

The man raised his chin slightly.

"We have always convinced people with reason. Now, slowly take your hands out of your pockets, and squat on the ground with your head in your arms."

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

It seems that they probably want to catch alive...

And there shouldn't be too many people, otherwise there is no need to wait for the order to be placed, just find a time and just go straight to the end.

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

Everyone present did not notice that there was a light silver ring on her right wrist.

There are six magnetic projectiles with a diameter of less than 5mm built into the silver ring. 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 killing range is only 20 meters, and the caliber of the projectile is too small, this is considered a flashy piece of equipment.

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

but……

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

"Looks like I'm going to break some ribs..." Sisi murmured silently in his heart, waiting for the bracelet to automatically lock on to the nearest target, and then he was ready to lie down.

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

"Very well, now squat down—"

Before the words fell, one after another pierced the air and rushed in all directions.

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

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

What it is? !

Looking at the five fallen brothers with blood holes in their foreheads, his eyes turned red for an instant, and he roared and ordered.

"Fire! Let me kill her!"

No need to order at all—

Almost as soon as the mutation happened, his soldiers pulled the trigger.

Five PU-9 submachine guns spurted out tongues of flame, bursting out with fierce firepower in an instant!

Sisi, who had been shot several times in his body, let out a muffled grunt. Taking advantage of the short-term gap in the surrounding area, he recklessly slammed into the tent beside him.

The 9mm bullet failed to penetrate the devil's 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 if the awakened person of the physique system has extremely strong resilience and resilience, the pain at that moment just now is enough to make her pass out.

The bullets that were fired almost chased her into the tent.

"Tsk—"

"It's empty!"

That broken piece of equipment is really unreliable...

Before he had time to hesitate, Sisi pulled out his dagger decisively, slashed a hole in the back of the tent, and rushed out without stopping.

Struggling to get up from the ground, the man with a protruding nose looked at the tent that had been sieved by bullets, completely dazed.

After being shot more than a dozen times, it's as if nothing happened.

Is this still human? !
really!
but--

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

"Catch up with me!" Grabbing the submachine gun on the ground, he roared angrily, beckoning 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 broke into everyone's sight.

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

What frightened him was not the gnawing white bear, but the rows of tents that had been rolled over by the wheels, and the trucks that rammed straight towards them.

The heavy machine gun welded to the roof was pointed straight at him.

"S—! Hold on!"

"We are here to help you!"
-
(Thanks to the leader of "Ethereal" for the reward! To be honest, when I wrote this sentence of thanks, I felt very ashamed... Recently, the code word speed has indeed dropped sharply, and the speed of 1000 per hour is gone. Sometimes I want to try hard to imagine I wrote the plot in the movie, but it always feels a little bit... sorry brothers.)
