Volume III: Turbulent Beginnings (Remastered) Chapter 53: Venom contains toxins

"Quick, adrenaline injections!"

"The heartbeat is weakening, and the myocardial booster is useless!"

"Prepare for an electric shock! 300Vīŧ 1,2,3īŧ Again! ”

"No, my heartbeat hasn't returned! The brainwaves are almost to the end! ”

"Boost the dose!"

"Oh no, there is a rejection reaction!"

In the carefully built emergency room, several senior doctors and nurses from the imperial capital are wrestling with death, trying to pull the young warrior lying in the hospital bed back from hell. However, as with every battle in the past two months, when the beating line on the brain wave and electrocardiogram gradually calmed down, it meant that they had once again tasted bitter defeat.

Outside the emergency room, two veteran generals in military uniforms were quietly watching everything that happened in the emergency room through the glass.

Zhao Songlin stood behind the two old men with a straight face. Compared with the two old qualifications of the Chinese military circles in front of him, Zhao Songlin, who has not yet reached sixty years old, is still very young.

"Alas~" General Chen Luo, who was carrying three stars on his shoulder, sighed and shook his head in disappointment.

The other is General Ye Zhengqing from the General Logistics Department, compared with General Chen Luo, who is in charge of the General Staff, Ye Zhengqing is older, and he should retire in a few years.

"This is the second one of the week, right?" Ye Zhengqing said, "What a good young man! ”

"It's also the eleventh of the month! If this continues, the government will quarrel again! Chen Luo's tone was tinged with Xiao Suo. So far, the death toll has exceeded forty, and the vast majority of the rest still have various mental illnesses. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the people who lead the troops to come over! These death notices are all knives! ”

Since the research institute led by Zhao Songlin moved here from the barracks, in just over two months, he has transferred more than 500 people from various units in China, but in the process of exploring the world of Entagre, all kinds of dangers have not been reduced because of this, and the mortality rate of nearly 10% can be said to be shocking in peacetime.

On top of that, the tension that pervades the institute is even more serious. In the process of constantly facing danger and tasting death, even the soldiers who survived by luck have all kinds of psychological problems, such as mania and emotional loss of control can only be regarded as the mildest symptoms, and many soldiers often can't tell whether they are in the real world or in that magical world, and the resulting problems and injuries are endless.

This is a problem that other large organizations face as they explore the world of Ntagre. No matter how good the player's abilities are in reality, in the world of Ntagre, they have to face all kinds of risks with their souls. Not everyone can remain unchanged in the face of death, even an elite special forces soldier cannot be absolutely calm in the face of various death threats.

They may be able to win on the battlefield, but that doesn't mean they can keep themselves alive through the experience of death again and again! Their souls are not much stronger than an ordinary person, and every death is a torture for the soul.

"Tell me honestly, how many people have been able to conduct experiments normally until now?"

Zhao Songlin glanced at General Chen Luo, he was originally subordinate to the General Staff, so this institute was directly under the leadership of the General Staff after its establishment, theoretically speaking, Ye Zhengqing's question could not be answered at all, but since the other party dared to ask it in front of Chen Luo, it was obvious that the two old generals had already reached a consensus.

"So far, the total number of people who have participated in the experiment is 533, 42 have died, 254 have had to withdraw from the experiment due to serious psychological problems, and there are less than 30 people in the remaining hands who have not developed problems, and the rest ......"

This data made the two old generals take a deep breath! In other words, by the time the experiment had been carried out, more than sixty percent of the soldiers had lost their combat effectiveness, and less than one percent of them remained intact. Obviously, those soldiers who had to withdraw from the experiment because of psychological problems would become powder kegs even if they returned to the army, and they did not know when they would explode.

To make matters worse, even at such a cost, Zhao Songlin still did not make clear progress. Whether it's the world of Entagre or the rings, they have only some of the most superficial results.

"The price is too high! The dragon's teeth alone have lost more than a dozen people, nearly a third! ”

For a moment, all three fell into silence.

Zhao Songlin knew that the losses so far were not proportional to the results, especially when the military had invested huge amounts of money and manpower for this, but he still wanted to try his best to fight for it: "General Chen, General Ye, although we have paid a great price, this is all because our soldiers can only rely on their own strength to grope a little bit, it can be said that they are crossing the river completely blindfolded, and they can't even touch a stone." ”

"I know, I know all this! But you also have to understand our difficulties! Chen Luo had to say this.

With the arrival of the second batch of rings, even the Huaxia government could not get their hands on every ring, in fact, only a small percentage of the rings that could be recycled by the government, and more rings were owned by ordinary people and relied on these rings to enter the world of Ntagre.

And with this comes all kinds of problems, bizarre deaths, crimes caused by various mental illnesses, and the social problems that arise from them. These unfolding circumstances have forced the military to re-examine all of this, hoping to get enough strength from the institute led by Zhao Songlin to solve these problems as soon as possible.

But apparently, the brutal truth disappointed the two old generals!

"Admiral Ye, we have already paid such a big price, we must not stop here!" Zhao Songlin was very worried about the cancellation of this study, not because he was attached to power and status, but because he did not want to see the soldiers who gave their lives for it die in vain.

Ye Zhengqing and Chen Luo glanced at each other: "It is impossible to cancel, on the contrary, we will continue to support your research, but you also have to come up with some results as soon as possible, the Government Council has long objected to this, thinking that it is arbitrary for us to hold these rings in our hands, and we want to separate the Institute from the military and be led by the Government Council." If there are no clear results within a month, I'm afraid General Chen and I won't be able to stop them! ”

"I need more people, more information, and of course, someone who can show us the way!" Zhao Songlin said, "Not long ago, didn't a businessman hold an auction? Can you get started with him? ”

Unlike Yu Bin and others, Li Shouyi, as a businessman, often needs to deal with other players in the world of Entagre, and even hires some players to help him do things, so in the eyes of those state agencies that want to gather intelligence, it is an excellent target.

What's more, when other players were working hard, Li Shouyi had already gained a lot in the Entagri world, not to mention a large amount of gold coins and popularity, just from the fact that he was able to take out the shield, it was enough to show that his understanding of the Entagri world was far greater than those under Zhao Songlin's hands.

"If you don't say it, we've been planning to do so for a long time! Not only us, but other countries are also trying to beat his idea. Fortunately, the merchant named Garol Gold Coin had already been determined to be a Chinese. We've been in secret with him a few days ago, and we'd like to get him to join the institute and assist you with your research, but ......"

"Did he refuse?" Zhao Songlin was surprised, for a powerful institution of a country, it was easy to recruit a citizen of his own country. "Does he have any background?"

"A foreign trade merchant! The problem is that in addition to us, there are many people who are paying attention to him, and it is difficult to start in a hurry! ”

After all, this time period is not the previous life that Yu Bin is familiar with, whether it is a state institution or those large organizations, it has not yet reached the point of unscrupulous means, and it still keeps a distance from ordinary players. Unlike in the previous life, as long as you look at the strength of a player, you will use all kinds of means without saying a word, and try your best to tie it to your chariot.

"And even if you invite him over, I'm afraid it won't be of much use! According to the other party, he was able to achieve his current achievements entirely because of the support of a secret organization called the Snake of Devouring Bodies. And about this so-called body-devouring snake, until now, we don't know anything about it! Chen Luo said, "But there is one thing that the businessman named Li Shouyi said very clearly, this organization is far superior to him in terms of financial resources and strength, and that auction was held with the support of this organization!" ”

"The Snake of the Body?"

Ye Zhengqing patted Zhao Songlin on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we have already asked that Boss Li to find a way to send a message to this organization and ask them to provide some help." It should be able to solve some of your problems by then! ”

"I hope so!"

Having said that, Zhao Songlin still wanted to dig out this organization called the Body Devouring Snake by his own means. Although the institute he led has paid a lot of money to explore the world of Entagre, it has not been for nothing.

While the general was thinking about how to make contact with Garol Gold Coins, Yu Bin was flipping through a letter in his hand.

Ratchet City is as prosperous as ever, and if the Fireblade Clan wants to take root in the barren land, it needs a lot of materials, most of which come from Orgrimmar's support, and a small part relies on trade with Ratchet City, as for the trade between Yu Bin and the Fireblade Clan, in fact, it is less than one-third of the trade between Ratchet City and the Fireblade Clan. The amount of materials needed by a clan is a very huge amount, and it is impossible to meet it by relying on Yu Bin alone.

Garol Gold has left enough people in Ratchet City to handle the transactions between the two sides, and more than a dozen players and a corresponding number of goblins are hired by the goblin merchant to procure, store, transport and deliver, and as for himself, he recently returned to Treasure Cove in a goblin airship. That's where he makes his home base, and he even rents a workshop in the port city and recruits a group of players to make his own items and potions for sale.

When he left Ratchet City, he left a letter for Yu Bin, and now, this letter has been successfully handed over to Yu Bin.

"What does the letter say?" Lei Guang and Keldila took the past with the wind and went directly back to Diya in the goblin airship, only Ailan accompanied Yu Bin to make a detour to Ratchet City, on the one hand, to check the trade with the Fireblade Clan, and on the other hand, to avoid being attacked by Dalaran on the way and causing the entire army to be wiped out. God knows if those human mages will find out that the Book of your is in Bin's hands, anyway, there is nothing wrong with being careful!

"Nothing!" Yu Bin smiled with satisfaction, the exposure of Garol Gold Coin had been expected from the beginning, for a game merchant like him, making his identity public as soon as possible was actually protecting himself, especially at this time period, those state agencies and large organizations had not yet discovered how great the benefits of Entagre's world would bring to them, so it was unlikely that they would use drastic means to deal with those game merchants. In this case, relying on his own goods and gold coins, and maintaining neutrality between various institutions and organizations, will allow Garol Gold Coin to expand his business scope and provide a layer of protection for himself.

"Laughing so obscenely, you won't want to pit anyone, right?"

"What makes me sad about what you say! I was going to leave this good errand to you, but in that case, I'll let the wind go!" ”

"Good errand? What errand? Although he had been pitted by Yu Bin several times, Ailan couldn't help but ask.

Yu Bin shook the letter in his hand: "Someone approached Garol and wanted to ask him for help and hire a few players to train rookies!" ”

"Training rookies?" After following Yu Bin through all kinds of hardships and obstacles, even Ailan has long developed the habit of being cautious and cautious, and he never believes that this so-called "training rookie" is just simple training.

"Didn't you ever talk about this kind of thing in small talk before! We can enter this world with the ring, and so can others. Ordinary people can enter this world, how can those state institutions sit idly by! ”

Alan nodded: "In other words, you want to get in touch with those governments in this way!" Tell me, who did you choose? ”

"You don't seem surprised!"

"I guessed the outcome long before you threw that shield at the auction! Isn't that what you want to do with this bait? ”

"That's right, now the fish is hooked!" Yu Bin handed the letter to Ailan, "You might as well think about how to make this fish look and smell!" ”
