Volume 2: The Shadow of the Wailing Cave (Remastered) Chapter 2: The Second Coming (2)

After taking the diamond ring, Yu Bin stole a car from the small town of Whiteford and drove to Oxford, more than 80 kilometers away, where the last stop of the tour group he signed up for was Oxford University, according to the itinerary, the tour group would take a night flight back to the magic capital at 11 p.m. that day, and the whole journey would be over.

An early system update forced Yu Bin to change his plans, and after throwing the stolen car into a remote wilderness, Yu Bin walked several kilometers into the center of Oxford.

Compared to Bloomington and Whiteford, Oxford is obviously more prosperous, and thanks to this famous university, even on rainy days, the streets here are full of pedestrians, students, businessmen, homeless people, and street performers.

Yu Bin walked into a Starbucks coffee shop, ordered a cup of hot coffee, and sat in the window seat sipping slowly, while observing the pedestrians passing by the window. When he saw a young man who looked to be over twenty years old passing by, Yu Bin knocked on the window pane next to him, attracting the attention of the other party, and then raised the coffee in his hand and smiled at the other party.

"I'll give you a drink!" Yu Bin said to the man who walked into the coffee shop, the other party had a standard European face, the high nose bridge and brown hair made him look a little childish, and the book tucked under the armpit showed the identity of the other party, a student at Oxford University!

"Do I know you?" The big European boy sat down opposite Yu Bin and asked suspiciously, he had just been admitted to Oxford University a few months ago, and he was sure that there was no Asian in front of him in his twenty-one-year-old life or among his new college classmates.

If it weren't for Yu Bin's standard London accent, he would probably think it was some kind of tricky TV show!

Yu Bin snapped his fingers: "A cup of Blue Mountain, thank you!" For the sake of coffee, don't you introduce yourself first, young man? ”

Theoretically speaking, Yu Bin is not much more mature than the big boy in front of him, but the life experience of the two lives before and after and the life-and-death struggle in the world of Entagri naturally make Yu Bin naturally have a special feeling, making him not look like a young man in his 20s, but like an adult in his 30s.

"Bot, Bot Dover. What about you? The big boy Bot picked up the Blue Mountain coffee brought by the waiter and reported his name, he was very curious about the unfamiliar face in front of him, of course, the other party could also be a liar, but Bot thought that as a top student at Oxford University, I am afraid that no one would choose a target like him to cheat.

Yu Bin shook his head: "It's not important, a stranger just invited you for a drink, Bote, knowing that my name doesn't mean anything to you at all." ”

"Well, I don't care anyway!"

Quietly waiting for the other party to finish the cup of coffee, Yu Bin looked at the other party with a smile and was about to get up and leave. Perhaps it was his status as a student at Oxford University that made Bot reluctant to leave like this, or perhaps the pride of the Europeans made him unwilling to accept a handout from an Asian for no reason, Bot sat down again: "Is there anything I need help with?" Are you filming a TV show? Or is it someone to talk to? Or something else! ”

"Well, perhaps, you would like to send a letter to a stranger!" Yu Bin smiled and took out a letter from the inner pocket of his coat, and like the one received by Intergula, there was neither a recipient nor a sender on the white envelope.

Bot took the letter: "Well, to whom?" ”

"Hoffmann White of Hamburg, Germany, you can easily find him, he is the last orthodox Junker aristocrat in Germany."

"Why don't you deliver the letter yourself? And if the other person asks, what should I say? You've got to tell me who told me to send this letter to him! Bot smacked his lips, a cup of coffee for him to deliver a letter, it was not a good deal!

Yu Bin stood up with a smile and tightened his coat: "I have to leave the UK soon, I'm afraid I won't have this time." All you have to do is deliver the letter to the other person and someone will pay for your travel expenses! As for the sender, you can say it's an old friend! ”

"Old friends?"

"That's right, old friend! After twenty years of dealing with each other, aren't they still old friends? Yu Bin put on his hat and opened the door of the coffee shop, "Remember, it must be delivered to Hoffman White by hand!" I think as a proud boy at Oxford, keeping promises is the most basic virtue, isn't it? ”

The next morning, Yu Bin returned to his hut, and this trip to England had greatly reduced his fortune, which also made Yu Bin start to consider whether to use some "special" means to make some extra money, such as finding a "street organization" to collect a little protection money or something.

After resting for a few hours, Yu Bin set off again. There are less than twelve hours left until the second ring descends, and this time there are more rings, but for various reasons, in fact, the difficulty of collecting is even more difficult.

Although the first batch of rings soon melted in the vast sea of people like water droplets, it is not difficult for a country's government agencies to perceive this, especially for government agencies with a high degree of organization and strong control in Huaxia, presumably some people within the government have been vaguely aware of the problems, once the second advent begins, those government agencies, especially the police, special police, military and other violent agencies will soon control these alien objects, Yu Bin doesn't have the ability to take the ring away from these guys' hands.

So his only choice is some barren mountains or relatively remote villages and towns, fortunately, Huaxia has a vast territory, and there are many such places, but he doesn't have to worry about not being able to collect enough rings!

Coupled with waiting in advance at the place in his memory, it was not impossible for Yu Bin to complete the predetermined goal, in fact, the goal he set for himself was a diamond ring and at least three gold rings, the former was prepared for Shen Tianyi, and the latter was obviously intended to be given to Chen Tao.

Just as Yu Bin was flying towards the mountain city of Chongqing in central China, in a military base on the outskirts of the imperial capital, in the gym of a small four-story concrete building, a tall, strong man wearing a vest was sweating and exercising, and it could be seen from his pants and shaved hair that this was a soldier.

The door of the gym creaked open, and an old man in a military uniform walked in, although he was an old man, but in fact, Zhao Songlin was only in his early fifties, but compared to the man who was exercising, Zhao Songlin looked much older.

"Mingyu, still can't you?" Zhao Songlin has two generals on his shoulders, as a lieutenant general of the General Staff of the Huaxia Army, he can climb to this position at this age, which is already very good, and part of this is also the credit of his family, the Zhao family's status in the Huaxia military can be called a famous family.

For example, Zhao Mingyu, the man in front of him who is working hard, is the captain of the Dragon Tooth Brigade of the Special Forces Brigade directly under the General Staff of the Huaxia Military, and he is also Zhao Songlin's nephew, of course, this does not mean that Zhao Mingyu climbed to this position through relationships, whether it is personal technical and tactical level or military knowledge, he is the leader in the entire Dragon Tooth Brigade.

Zhao Mingyu said while holding the dumbbell in his hand: "No, since I was forcibly expelled yesterday, I still can't re-enter that world." ”

"Alas, I saw that I had already figured out the idea, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen suddenly, Ming Yu, do you think that mysterious world will be reopened? Could it be that this is because they are aware of our presence? ”

Zhao Mingyu put down the dumbbell: "I don't think so, uncle, that world makes me feel more like a virtual space, but it's more real and more dangerous, Benzi hasn't woken up yet, the doctor said that he is already in a vegetative state, and the brain waves are very weak!" ”

"Don't blame yourself too much, it's not your responsibility!" Zhao Songlin sighed and patted Zhao Mingyu on the shoulder, in fact, as early as the day after the first ring came, Zhao Songlin got this information, the four light clusters that fell from several military bases around the imperial capital were wrapped in lead boxes and sent to the research center of the General Armament Department, and after a few days of testing and research, they were transferred to the hands of the General Staff, and only after the energy that made up the light group completely dissipated, did the General Staff set up another institution to study the four rings, Zhao Songlin is the person in charge of this institution, and the Dragon's Tooth Special Brigade is the researcher.

Zhao Mingyu said that Benzi is a special soldier of Dragon Tooth, and when he followed Zhao Mingyu and his three teammates to explore the world of Entagre, he died too many times because he strayed into the area of high-level monsters, and finally became a vegetative person after a large loss of soul energy, and Zhao Mingyu was the person who led the team at that time, which is also one of the reasons why he is desperately working out now.

"The guns and combat we are best at are useless in that world, and the knowledge of emergency games is useless, we don't know where to get equipment, we don't know how to judge the strength of the enemy, and we don't know how to communicate with the natives!" Zhao Mingyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with unwillingness, "Uncle, we need instructors, we need someone to teach us, to teach us how to fight, how to speak, and how to use those magic items that look incredible." If we rely on our own groping for these things, we don't know how many lives will be paid! Do you still want to see the second, the third Benzi? ”

Zhao Songlin knew how tormented his nephew's heart was, the comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with him, the elite soldiers who could be fearless even in the face of the rain of bullets from drug lords, but because of his mistakes, he became a vegetative person, all of this happened in just a few hours, which made Zhao Mingyu, the captain of the dragon teeth, regret and blame himself to the extreme.

"Ming Yu! I understand everything you say, I understand everything! But where do you ask me to find an instructor who meets your requirements? Those so-called game experts, professional players, and even a few veteran players in online games have found you, but it is still useless, it is a world that we cannot understand at all, and we need to start from scratch, this is the real feeling of the stones to cross the river! ”

The General Staff Department worked hard for Zhao Mingyu and the four of them, and they couldn't use firearms, so they found those experts who knew martial arts to teach them how to use swords, and they didn't know how to upgrade, so they found those game companies and professional players to teach them hands-on, and even in order to improve Zhao Mingyu's "professional quality", the General Staff bought a lot of game-related materials, CDs, props and videos in the name of military procurement for the first time, almost making those uninformed government officials think that they were not doing their jobs.

But even at such a big price, Zhao Mingyu and the others still couldn't move an inch in the Entagri world, they were facing a completely unfamiliar environment, they didn't know where there were monsters, they didn't know where there was danger, and they didn't know how to use their perception to defend against danger.

If Yu Bin is here, he will definitely be deeply touched! This is the situation faced by the first batch of players who entered the world of Entagri in the previous life, the special forces called Benzi are not the only pioneers who have become vegetatives, and more people will follow in the footsteps of them in the future, so to speak, players are using their lives to explore the world of Entagri step by step.

Of course, for Zhao Songlin, who did not enter the world of Entagri and only commanded by speculation, Yu Bin would only sneer at them! They are still looking at this mysterious world with old ideas, thinking that it is all a game. It is true that the various abilities and data-based attributes that players gain in the world of Entagre are exactly the same as those of ordinary online games, but if you really treat all this with the mentality of playing games, then Yu Bin can only say that they don't think they died fast enough.

"Uncle, there were so many meteors that fell from the sky at the beginning, how many of them would be the same ring as this one?" Zhao Mingyu rubbed the ring on his finger, it was a silver ring, because he was the captain of the dragon's tooth and Zhao Songlin's nephew, and the other three special forces were all brass rings. "If those are rings, how many of them are acquired by others? Are there any of these people who have also entered that world? If so, will they be better mixed and more adapted to that world than we are? ”

Zhao Mingyu is not the first person to think of this, not to mention those military geniuses in the General Staff who think about national strategy every day, even a normal person can think of this.

"We've been looking for the people you mentioned, but so far we haven't found anything, and the meteors that fell that day were so few and scattered in number." Zhao Songlin shook his head, "What's more, many people above feel that even those of you who have received strong support are unable to move an inch in that world, even if someone obtains a ring and enters that world, I am afraid that the danger will be greater than yours." ”

Zhao Mingyu let out a long sigh and picked up the dumbbell again and practiced.

"Pay attention to your body, don't hurt yourself!" Zhao Songlin knew that no matter how many words he had, he couldn't comfort Zhao Mingyu, "Finally, I will tell you one more thing, after these days of secret searching, we have found seven more rings, and the General Staff has delegated the power to select new test candidates to me, I want to hear your opinion." Also, as the number of people increases, it is not appropriate to continue to leave the testing site here, and we will have to move to Balizhuang in a few days. ”

"If you have to pick people from the army, then this time you have to take care of other aspects, know how to heal, know how to use bows and arrows, it's best to be good at communicating with people, anyway, in addition to military skills, you also have to have a variety of specialties, just relying on fighting to the death, it's useless in that world!"
