Chapter 1: Grotesque Missions

Next Chapter

In the nutrition cabin, the overhead electrical stimulation intensified, and the white figure in Liang Hong's eyes gradually blurred, and his consciousness seemed to have drifted out of his body and into a new world. The roar of guns seemed to be heard in my ears, shooting, dropping, dodging, exploding, shrapnel whistling past me, and one by one familiar comrades were hit and fell, and blood red filled the eyes. The nightmare that haunted countless times, familiar and hideous, although I knew that it was the onset of war syndrome, but every time I unconsciously devoted myself to it, I hope that this latest high-tech treatment can be completely cured.

Now it's falling from the sky, is it parachuting? No, there is no umbrella bag, so maybe it is a jump from a helicopter.

His feet fell solidly to the ground, and he subconsciously grabbed it with his hands, and really held it, but it was not the familiar semi-automatic sniper rifle. The long barrel, the wooden butt, and the old-fashioned magazine rifle he recognized as an officer who graduated from a military academy as an antique Mauser Model 1893 rifle. 7 mm caliber, five rounds with built-in magazine, firing round-tipped smokeless cartridges, barrel length 740 mm, full gun length 1240 mm, effective range of about 600 meters. In the Spanish-American War long ago, in San Juan, Cuba, 700 Spaniards armed with these rifles endured 12 hours of continuous assault against 15,000 American regulars armed with Krag Chaugenson rifles.

Instinctively, raise the gun and turn 360 degrees on the spot, the muzzle of the gun is always pointing forward during the rotation, and the fingers are tightly pressed on the trigger, ready to shoot the sudden enemy. The open grasslands, the blue sky, the green grass and the mountains in the distance, no enemies were found, and no comrades were found. They were all killed in battle, Liang Hong remembered, and was besieged by the enemy during the encounter, and the entire task force died heroically. Collective first-class merit, comrades-in-arms have become martyrs, and he who survived serious injuries became a combat hero, receiving medals and honors, as well as nightmares that haunt him every night.

"Welcome to 1898, which was the upper reaches of the Lin** River basin in South Africa, and is there a base now?"

The crisp female voice suddenly sounded, startling Liang Hong, looking around, but he didn't find the woman who spoke.

What the? In 1898, there was South Africa, how could it be this era, and why it was in South Africa, was it just because I had read the history of the Anglo-Boer War.

"Who are you?"

Liang Hong asked suspiciously, clenching the gun tighter in his hand in order to turn the muzzle of the gun more quickly and fire.

"My name is Xiaobai, the exclusive secretary of the system, and I am responsible for the coordination of your mission."

The female voice sounded again, and Liang Hong followed the voice, but still found nothing.

"You'll only see me when you've created a base." The invisible woman seemed to know what was going on in his heart.

"What is my mission?"

"Survive, live according to your heart's true desires."

Strange task, Liang Hong was silent. After graduating from the military academy, he experienced a three-year career as a special forces, and was born and died dozens of times, and never took on such a task.

"Do you want to create a base?" The female voice continued to ask, crisp with indifference, without a trace of human fireworks.

"Good"

Liang Hong subconsciously replied that the view here is wide, there is a small lake nearby, and he can escape into the mountains farther away in case of danger.

Boom, a loud bang suddenly erupted around him, not good, enemy shelling. Liang Hong jumped out like an arrow, and then rolled continuously on the spot, until he was hidden behind a big tree, and then he looked back with a gun. Where I was standing just now, a bluestone bunker actually popped up.

"Comrade Commander, please enter the base to fulfill your mission."

Xiaobai's voice came from the bunker, and he realized that the loud noise just now was creating a base. Liang Hong smiled awkwardly, this construction method was very magical and weird, beyond the scope of his normal understanding.

Xiaobai is really beautiful, slender, pink and delicate, but unfortunately, she can only appear in the mirror, visible but unreachable.

Inside the two-meter-square fortress, iron beds and wooden tables occupy most of the space. In the oval bronze mirror on the table, she is wearing a uniform without a badge, looking more like a female anchor in a military column. If it weren't for the person in the mirror talking, I would have thought it was a rubbing.

"On January 1, 1898, a primary base was established on the east bank of Lake Marla, and the base commander, Captain Liang Hong, had a base fund account of 10,000 silver dollars."

In the female voice, Liang Hong looked out along the rectangular shooting hole, and it turned out that the small lake next to it was called Malla Lake.

"This mirror is the touch screen of the base, with a Chinese Simplified Chinese interface, and helpful items to provide explanations. In addition, the base is a core area, and it is denied access to personnel who are not recognized by the system, and if the defense is forcibly breached, the base will immediately initiate a self-destruction procedure. ”

Assuming that the bronze mirror is regarded as an LCD screen, there is no sense of disobedience for Liang Hong, and it can be regarded as an alternative tablet. In the mirrored global map, in the southern part of the African continent, a bright spot flashes and appears in its geographical location. To the north of Pretoria, the capital of the Transvaal Republic, the distance in a straight line is estimated to be more than 200 kilometers according to scale. Not far to the north, there is a river on the map, which should be the Lin ** River.

With the click of a finger, the mirror switches to a scene within a radius of a kilometer around the bunker, lakes, trees, and even antelopes running by.

"Is this the base, and are there any other facilities besides the bunker?"

I have the impression that the bases are all deep underground, with a heavy reinforced concrete protective layer, which can resist the attack of ground-penetrating bombs, and can hide thousands of people to live and direct the battle underground. But the bunker in front of you can be regarded as a peripheral defense to guard the entrance at best.

"No, there is only this bunker in the entire base at the moment."

Hearing Xiaobai's indifferent answer, Liang Hong's heart was a little cold, and he felt that he had already been bunkered.

"However, this is only a primary base, and the base can be upgraded."

"Can you level up?" Liang Hong felt that his heart that had been sealed by the bunker was infused with a trace of warmth, and his mood was reinvigorated, "How to upgrade?" Is it hard to upgrade conditions? What can the base be upgraded to in the end? ”

"There are too many questions for the system to answer. Comrade Commander is invited to think calmly and re-ask the question. ”

"I'm sorry, I just thought it was too much of a surprise, I'll reopen the question, soon."

Liang Hong took a deep breath and calmed down. Good psychological quality is a condition for the selection of special forces, if it were not for the fact that the current situation is too unbelievable, if it were not for the long-term war syndrome, he would not be so impulsive. The most urgent and important issues have the highest priority, so the current base upgrade is the most important to solve.

"How can I upgrade the base?"

"The technical level of the primary base is equivalent to that of the world twenty years ago, and the next level will be upgraded to a second-level base, and the technical level of the second-level base is equivalent to that of the world ten years ago. To sum up, there are three ways to upgrade the base. ”

"Which three?"

"The first way, to complete the tasks specified by the system, there can be lottery rewards, and there is the possibility of direct upgrade in the lottery, with a probability of no more than 1 in 10,000."

The probability of 1 in 10,000, is it a game of Lao Tzu? If Xiaobai wasn't a pretty girl, maybe Liang Hong would scold her directly. There is basically no need to think about this path, and he has not yet fallen into the point where he will pin his fate on the slightest hint of luck that is illusory.

"The second way is to complete the tasks specified by the system, and if it is clear in advance that the prize is a direct upgrade, upgrade according to the reward."

Liang Hong thinks this way is a bit reliable, but will there be a prize in the task specified by the system that is directly upgraded?

"Unless it is a special case, the system task prizes are all lotteries."

Damn, I'm still playing with Lao Tzu. No, how does this little girl know what I'm thinking.

"Can you spy on my thoughts?" That's a good question.

"May I ask Comrade Commander, do you end the answer to the original question by asking a new question?"

"No, no, please Xiaoni, no, no, please Comrade Xiaobai continue to answer the original question."

Liang Hong reacted quickly, and immediately denied it, it seems that this chick is very difficult to deal with, and she can grasp her own pain points.

"The third way is to meet the hard conditions for base upgrading."

"What kind of hard conditions?"

I can't wait to ask, it seems that this is the only way to be the most reliable.

"The primary base is upgraded to a level 2 base, and the first condition is that all the types of buildings that can be built are complete; Condition 2: Effectively control the area within a radius of 50 km; Condition 3: Cumulative consumption of more than 100,000 yuan within one year; Condition 4: Have at least one engineer to serve; Condition 5: The base commander has mastery of the local official language. If all five of the above conditions are met, the base can be upgraded to level 2. ”

"Are these conditions difficult to operate?"

Except for him himself learning the local official language, the other conditions are confused, besides, this is the Transvaal Republic, Dutch has not been contacted, I don't know if it is good to learn, if it is to learn Henan dialect, he is confident.

"The previous questions have been answered, the time for this exchange is up, see you next time."

Without waiting for a defense, Xiao Bai's beautiful figure disappeared from the mirror at once, leaving Liang Hong stunned and staring at the bare mirror.

Well, since you play disappear, we have to honestly follow the third path. Fingers touched the bronze mirror, and it lit up again.
