Chapter 584: Inevitability
Bang~~
The glass rolled down, spilling all the wine inside.
looked at Fu Hao and found that he was actually pale.
Realizing that I seemed to be asking something that shouldn't be asked, I quickly looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry, I ......"
Fu Hao waved his hand and motioned for me not to speak yet.
I glanced at Zhang Qiang and Wang Yi, and then stopped talking.
Fu Hao pursed his lips, his eyes full of pain.
After a while, he suddenly shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.
He didn't mind if the wine glass was dirty when it fell on the ground, so he bent down and picked it up directly from the ground.
Then he took the bottle from my hand and filled it for himself.
Look up.
Fu Hao drank all the wine in the wine glass.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all seem to feel some kind of subtle atmosphere.
Silent.
Everyone was silent.
It's like a pool of stagnant water.
I don't know how long it took again.
A hoarse, mournful voice came.
"Xiao Huan, she ...... She's gone, she'......"
Speaking of which, Fu Hao couldn't say that he didn't want to go down anymore.
I don't take any more wine glasses.
He directly picked up the bottle and began to pour it desperately.
When I saw him like this, I was also a little emotional for a while, and those previous suspicions were gone.
Raising my hand and patting him on the back, I sighed slightly, "Hey, brother." The deceased is gone, so don't be too sad. ”
"yes. If Su Huan had known, she wouldn't have wanted to see you now......" Zhang Qiang scratched his head and tried to comfort him.
Wang Yi glanced at Fu Hao: "That'...... How the hell did she die? By whom? Tell us and we'll avenge you! ”
Listening to Wang Yi's words, Fu Hao was slightly stunned.
"Forget it. That team is amazing, really, all of them are completely out of our reach. I don't want to involve you as well. Right now...... I just want to complete this game mission well, save enough points as soon as possible, and return to the real world. This is also Xiao Huan's hope all along. As he spoke, he took out a necklace from his clothes: "This is the only relic left by Xiao Huan." After successfully leaving the 'True Demon', I will take it around the world with me. Originally, we had planned to travel the world before we entered the 'True Demon'. But before the plan even started, we were already on this weird platform. I often wonder, why us? Why we were chosen. Obviously, we just want to live the ordinary life of ordinary people......"
Seeing Fu Hao say this, we are no longer reluctant.
In order to stop him from thinking of Su Huan, we gradually shifted the topic elsewhere.
That night, we chatted almost all night.
Topics range from our experiences in different game worlds to who we were before we entered the game.
From the chat, I learned that Fu Hao and Su Huan's family conditions are very good, and they are considered rich second generations.
Both of them are college students, and they originally agreed to travel and get married after graduation.
However, before that day could come, they were swept up in the "True Demon" platform.
After listening to this, we were naturally extremely embarrassed.
Later, I don't know how long it took, but we all fell asleep groggily under the influence of alcohol.
When I woke up, it was already noon.
Just after washing, Fu Hao told us that he had instructed the guards of the scientific research institute to arrange a table of sumptuous wine and food.
In the face of his enthusiasm, I had no choice but to accept it.
Everyone sat at the table again, and after Fu Hao poured a full wine for me, his expression suddenly became a little serious.
He looked at me and said in a sincere tone: "Okay, let's talk about the old things that should be recounted." After all, we're still in the game world, so I'll get straight to the point. Gao Wei, would your team be willing to cooperate with us to find the fragments? ”
I drank the wine from my glass without saying anything directly: "Oh? What is the cooperation law? ”
"Truth be told, I've got the news again. It is said that in the northeast mercenary stronghold of the Desert of Hatred, there is a high probability that there are fragments hidden. But as far as I know, it's the most powerful mercenary stronghold in the entire desert. Even though we had someone from the research institute who could use it, I still didn't have much confidence that I would be able to escape after obtaining the fragments. So I think if we work together, maybe the odds will be many times greater. Fu Hao looked at me with a serious expression, and finally told us his plan.
"But, even if we're willing to work with you. Isn't there only one fragment? How should it be divided then? Du Deming spoke quickly and asked our concerns directly.
"You don't have to worry about that. Actually, I didn't finish my sentence just now. In fact, we've received another clue, I don't know if you've seen the map, there is a small research base in the west of the Desert of Resentment, which is the westernmost camp of the research institute in the entire desert. We didn't have that place in our hands. Bypassing the research institute, we continued further west until we reached the end of the desert, where we saw two sand ridges facing each other. There is only a narrow path between the two sandy ridges, and after passing that path, you will find a col behind it. There is the western end of the Desert of Resentment. It is also said that there is a high probability that there are fragments hidden in that place. So, that's what I think. Because so far, we haven't found a single real fragment. If the fragments hidden in these two places are real. Then we'll split it in half. For example, you help us find the debris hidden in the mercenary camp to the northeast, and we work with you to find the debris in the westernmost part of the desert. In this way, it is good for all of us, what do you think? Fu Hao said all his thoughts in one go, and it seemed that he should have planned to do so from the beginning.
Hearing this, in fact, I was already a little moved.
Regardless of the final outcome, at least for now, cooperation is more beneficial than mutual interest.
Although, there is still a faint uneasiness in my heart.
I didn't know how to decide for a while, so I turned my head and looked at Wang Yi, Zhang Qiang and Du Deming.
"What do you think?"
Wang Yi pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Since Fu Hao has already said this, it seems that it is a little too raw for us to refuse again." Let's cooperate! Anyway, we can get things done faster. ”
"That's good! Let's discuss the plan of action now! When Fu Hao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I smiled and nodded.
Although everyone understands it in their hearts.
If our mission is to collect the fragments, we may still have an inevitable conflict at the end.
It's just that everyone hid this matter in their hearts very well.
