Give me the first charge [hologram]

"Wait...wait a while?!"

He Ji took a closer look, trying to see what she looked like through her tightly covered attire, "Who do you say you are?"

Even Baili himself was a little surprised.

He just thought that the wanderer could heal himself quickly, and that he might be related to the only person in the village with the same ability, but he never thought that there would be a situation with the same name and surname.

——But even so, he didn't think the Xu Ying in front of him was the same person as the Xu Ying they saw living under the title of "Chief's Daughter".

"Or, I used to be called Xu Ying."

The wanderer said sadly, "Now I wander alone in this forest, day after day. My name has become irrelevant."

After she finished speaking, she removed the wide brim of her hat for the first time, revealing her real face.

She has a beautiful face, but due to deep wrinkles, she shows aging that does not match her age, and her eyes are full of deep sorrow and helplessness.

He looks about half or half of Xu Ying's, but it's not him.

"you are……"

Tang Song stroked his thoughts, and asked tentatively, "Are you the...mother of the patriarch's daughter?"

"The patriarch never had a daughter."

"That's our son," she said.

"Isn't the patriarch your husband?"

He Ji was puzzled, "Why don't you live with him?"

The well-behaved patriarch's wife ran to the wilderness to take care of the children, and there were a large group of them in the area.It's really puzzling.

"He is not my husband, but he is the father of my children."

The homeless said, "I can no longer go back to the village to continue living. Because in the hearts of the villagers, I no longer exist in this world."

The conversation ends here.

"It seems that something happened before. She left the village, and neither the patriarch nor the villagers knew that she was still alive."

Seeing the weak woman trembling with her daughter in the corner, Tang Song added, "But now it seems that not all the villagers are unaware."

"Although I don't know what happened before, the patriarch should have never forgotten her."

Meng Lian sighed, "She's quite infatuated, even naming her son in memory of her."

After he finished speaking, he looked up, and found that the expressions of Bai Li and Wen Liangjiu were exactly the same indifference, and the latter's eyes were faintly permeated with the iconic sarcasm.

"……"Fine.

"Maybe you, from the villagers, heard about it?"

Bai Li tentatively asked the wanderer, "The patriarch wants to give your son to a stranger."

"I know."

The wanderer's tone became mournful, "I've known this would come from the moment he asked my son to live as a girl!"

"I don't understand why he can be so cruel and decisive!"

Her tone became more and more intense, "I'm sure he loves me. But he has the ability to part with the one he loves. It's not enough to hand me over. Even our children have to be treated like this!"

"Have you been handed over?"

Tang Song immediately grasped the key words, "Have you ever been to their laboratory with foreigners? Then how did you escape into the forest?"

Perhaps because of the setting of the plot, the wanderer avoided his gaze and did not answer this question.

"Staying like this is not an option."

He Ji asked, "Then what are you going to do next? Do you want to watch the patriarch hand over your son?"

"My strength is too weak."

The homeless said, "I can only try to protect these children from the clutches of the devil. I have tried my best."

"But there's nothing I can do about my own children."

In her mournful tone, she conveyed the meaning that she had to give up Xu Ying, "For the safety of the village, the patriarch will hand him over to outsiders tonight. In exchange for the force in their hands to resist werewolves."

"This is the last time, I can't let the same thing happen again."

"I will raise these children as my own and they will be safe here," she said.

"What about when they grow up? Are they going to live in such a cave for the rest of their lives?"

"Even if Xu Ying is taken away this time, filling the vacancy. But don't forget that he is already the only person in the village who meets the criteria of a 'bride'."

Tang Song reminded, "You hide these girls. After this time, if there is no 'bride' to marry, the village will still be in danger of being invaded by werewolves."

"……I need time."

The wanderer was silent for a long time.When he spoke again, his tone struggled violently, "If you break the agreement with the outsider now, the village may not survive tonight."

"don’t worry."

Tang Song said, "We will find a way to help you." No matter what, the child must be brought back first, and the task will be completed.

"help me?"

She showed a sarcastic smile, "What is your purpose? In the final analysis, it is not much different from those foreigners."

Bai Li looked at her and suddenly had a new idea.

If Xu Ying was the treasure he was looking for, then their purpose of coming to the village was indeed no different from those "outsiders".

Since the purpose is no different...

"Outsiders, if they can do it, so can we."

**

It was getting dark a little bit.In the lobby of the hotel, the patriarch and a group of villagers sat upright, looking at the people in black on the other side speechlessly.

The hotel owner stood by and rubbed his beard anxiously, "Are A Ruan and Xu Ying back?"

"not yet."

The order boy ran back from the door countless times, bringing disappointing news, "Why don't you close the doors and windows first? It's going to be dark soon."

"useless."

The boss glanced at the motionless man in black, and sighed, "If they don't help us resist, it will be easy for those monsters to break in, and we can only sit and wait."

As time passed, the players who explored outside during the day gradually returned to the hotel regardless of whether they gained anything or not.Seeing the lobby full of seats, they began to discuss, and stood around the wall, waiting for the plot to unfold.

As if something was about to happen.

At this moment, Bai Li and his party finally rushed back with the children.There was a large group of people, and they attracted all the attention as soon as they entered the hotel.

"Is Xu Ying here?" Upon entering the door, Teacher Jia spoke first, impatiently wanting to receive the reward.

The tramp walked last, without the big-brimmed hat that covered his entire face.

After more than ten years, she finally stepped into this land again with her original appearance.Walking into the hotel, many people recognized her.

The hotel owner and the patriarch came out at the same time, walked quickly to her, and looked at her in shock.

"It's...it's you?! You're still alive!"

The boss looked at her, incoherently excited, "You're still alive...what about my wife?!"

"Haunting."

The patriarch looked at her with a complicated expression.As if caught off guard, but also as if expected, "You are back."

The girls stood stiffly in the lobby, looking at everything around them with curious eyes.

"Feel sorry."

The first sentence, the homeless person said to the boss.She bowed seriously and repeated, "Sorry, because of my selfishness, you lost your lover."

"For many years, I haven't had the courage to come back and face reality."

It should have been hers that was taken away by foreigners more than ten years ago.

At that time, the current patriarch was just a responsible young man, and they were in love.Whether it's to suffer or enjoy happiness, she doesn't want to leave the village and the one she loves.

Shouldn't people who love each other be together?

They even have an adorable baby.

She originally thought that her lover should have the same idea and be connected with her.Therefore, when he learned that he was going to hand himself over to foreigners in order to protect the safety of the villagers, he escaped from the village overnight under a huge blow and lived in seclusion in the forest ever since.

At that time, the rest of the self-healing abilities were still too young.The innkeeper's wife was taken in her place by the outlanders—leaving her beloved and young son to fill the vacancy and sacrifice for the village.

It has been ten years since I lost my wife.

The boss looked at the woman who bowed ninety degrees in front of him, and still couldn't say a word of forgiveness.

"These children, were you secretly carried away and brought up?"

The patriarch looked at the innocent and simple girls, and quickly figured out the cause and effect, and said with a wry smile, "You shouldn't have brought them back."

"I came back to put an end to all of this."

The wanderer glanced at Baili, took a deep breath, as if giving himself courage, "Let's leave here. Take the whole family, leave here forever, and look for a land that is free from wild beasts and can live in peace."

"Our ancestors have settled here for generations, how can we leave easily?"

"The outside world is dangerous," said the patriarch.

"It's just as dangerous to stay!"

She cast her eyes on the gradually rising moonlight outside the window, and whispered, "This place is no longer suitable for living."

"These young people say it can help us fend off wolves."

Her tone grew sad. "Stop making our son a victim. Don't you know what it means to him?"

"Of course I know."

The patriarch was moved by her accusation, and his emotions gradually became agitated, "I am his father! Do I love him less than you?!"

Gene carriers with self-healing ability are born randomly, but they have always been girls, and outsiders have also tacitly accepted this.

If it is discovered that a boy carrying a special gene appears suddenly, it will definitely break the long-standing balance relationship, cause greater changes, and maybe be forcibly taken away.

He asked Xu Ying to dress up as a girl since he was a child, but he wanted him to stay by his side and live a few more years.

"Do you really love us?"

The wanderer suddenly laughed, and the sad expression in his smile attracted the attention of all the NPCs and players in the scene, "Maybe so. But for you, there is nothing more important than the responsibility of being the patriarch."

"Tonight, you were going to hand him over. Right?"

The patriarch was silent for a while.

Seeing that he was silent and seemed to be hesitating, the villagers couldn't hold back.

"If Xu Ying doesn't leave the village, we won't survive tonight!"

"Who can stand against those terrible monsters? It's almost deadly!"

"..."

"Go! Your sacrifice can be exchanged for the safety of the whole village. You can't be so selfish!"

I don't know who yelled first.Everyone looked together and found Xu Ying and A Ruan standing at the door of the hotel.

"Am I selfish?"

The tears in Xu Ying's eyes finally fell down uncontrollably, "I just want to live...why does it have to be me?"

Ah Ruan clenched his fists.

This group of uncles and aunts who are usually friendly, in order to survive, or just to survive, have changed their strange and terrifying faces at this moment, and every sentence is pushing his most beloved person into the fire pit.

He suddenly pointed to the heavily armed man in black, and raised his voice, "Do you know how Ah Ying persuaded me?"

"'If I don't stand up, the outsiders won't help us drive away the beasts. The people in the village managed to live a stable life, and I can't see this security being broken.' In order to protect you, he has I made up my mind to sacrifice myself."

A Ruan looked at the villagers sitting in the lobby, his eyes filled with deep sorrow, "But you are not worth it."

"I don't know when this deal will start and when it will end."

"But I know it's never been the law of survival in our favor," he said.

"Nobody can really help us except ourselves."

The patriarch sat silently in the center of the lobby, as if he had aged a lot in a day.

In the decades of negotiations, the reason why we were able to maintain an agreement of equality and mutual benefit with foreigners is because of the bloody will to burn jade and stone—if they dare to violate the agreement and enter the village to rob people, then they would rather spill all their blood on the village. Not a single drop of this piece of land that has survived for generations will be snatched from them.

He remembered that most of the clansmen in the past also had this kind of blood.

But now?

After living comfortably for decades, the people in the village have become accustomed to paying a "small price" to protect the interests of most people.Accustomed to maintaining the status quo, greedy for stability.

Because they are the majority of people, because of that "small price", it didn't hurt them.

Working all his life for the clansmen in this village has reached the point of abandoning his wife and son.He has tried his best to protect his clansman for so many years, is it really worth it?

Perhaps the young man was right.

Such a transaction that goes against human nature was wrong from the very beginning.

"you……"

The patriarch raised his head and looked at the few people around Bai Li, "With a few people, there is no chance of winning against those monsters."

Enough is enough.He didn't want to push his beloved into the fire pit with his own hands for the sake of so-called safety.But he also had to face the reality of disparity in strength, "Maybe you can find some more helpers?"

"Sorry, just wait a minute."

Wen Liangjiu leaned leisurely against the counter and waved to him, "Let's talk about it after receiving the reward."

Patriarch: "..."

The task of rescuing the child has been completed.After Xu Ying appeared, he handed over the rewards to Bai Li, "This is what you are looking for."

It is a glass bottle.Holding it in your hand is about the same capacity as a regular mineral water bottle, filled with a scarlet viscous liquid.

is blood?

Immediately afterwards, Xu Ying took out six small empty bottles and handed them to him.

Bai Li took it with a question mark on his face.

"Sorry, the situation is urgent, and the time is running short."

Xu Ying said, "It's for six people. You can just share one portion privately."

"..."

What kind of incredible sand sculpture design is this.

But when he thought about who the designer was, Baili felt a little more reasonable, and temporarily put the bottle containing Xu Ying's blood into the backpack along with six small empty bottles.

The plot was suddenly interrupted, and most of the tension in the room dissipated.Other players also showed curiosity about their harvest, "What kind of mission reward is it?"

Tang Song was afraid that he would leak the reward and cause other players to compete, so he blurted out nervously: "Wen Jiu!"

Wen Liangjiu said at the same time, his tone as usual: "I won't tell you."

"..."

Teacher Jia's expression was suddenly dull: "Wen... how much?"

"Nine."

He Ji added kindly.

The author has something to say:
