Chapter 87: It's Not That Simple
The combination of Laura and Mordred and Shirley, plus the combination of the four of Galahad, is absolutely no problem in terms of strength.
Not only Ethan knew this, but they also knew it themselves: the captain would not throw them into a world that they couldn't handle, and seeing Ethan leave so neatly, this world would definitely not pose any threat to them.
So Laura suggested that everyone enjoy the 'game'.
First of all, it is necessary to follow the rules of the game.
"What are the rules of the game?"
Logan's problem was also the problem of everyone present, and Galahad didn't deliberately sell it, and quickly told the rest of the story.
Laura has developed a series of rules for the game, basically that everyone does not use the various items brought by the Prince Eugen, and treats herself as an ordinary 'tabula rasa', with no equipment, weapons, or supplies.
That is, all equipment is obtained from this world. β
Looking at the rules formulated by Laura, you can see that this girl has not played a lot of video games from Tony back then, and she has mastered the 'essence' of adventure games.
Since she didn't know the specific situation of this world, Laura only set this rule for the time being.
A few young people begin a completely unknown adventure.
They were young, but not inexperienced, young people, and they quickly figured out their surroundings through scattered newspapers and a few messy items.
The background is a modern earth society, in a medium-sized city in North America, where a strange virus suddenly broke out not long ago, and the infected will go berserk and attack the uninfected around them.
After actually encountering and solving several infected individuals and meeting a survivor, several young people have a more intuitive understanding.
Aggressively and contagiously, these monsters resemble zombies.
But in terms of mobility, these infected people are not slow and unresponsive like zombies, on the contrary, they are very fast and can run and jump like normal people - considering that these guys can run and attack like crazy regardless of physical exertion, it can be said that these virus infected people are much more dangerous than zombies.
From the survivor's mouth, Laura and the others learned that almost everyone in the city was infected, and that the infected were very sensitive to light and sound, and that if there was a big movement, they could attract all the infected people in a certain range around themβand these infections would attract more infected people.
If that's not all, the most troublesome thing is that some mutations will appear in the infected, making some special monsters with strange abilities born in them, which are far more difficult to deal with than ordinary infected.
In short, they are in a monster-infested city, and the thing they have to do is simple: get out alive.
It's okay to leave directly, and both Laura and Shirley quickly discover the 'secret' on Galahad's shield and know that they actually have hole cards to use.
So the bold Lara proposed a second rule: use the weapons of the world she has collected to fight these monsters, mainly the various firearms found in shops or houses.
"Obviously, you can cut it directly. β
"It's okay to cut it, as long as you can find the sword you can take advantage of. β
In this way, several young men plus a survivor formed a makeshift team and began to rampage through the city.
At this point, although it seems a bit of a joke, there is basically nothing outrageous - it is meant to be played, and it is not difficult to understand that playing games and making some rules.
The point is that after playing for a while, these young people felt that it was not exciting enough, and Mordred suddenly proposed to directly destroy all the monsters in the city.
Then, regardless of whether Laura and Shirley agreed or not, they started their own 'salvation' plan.
It is unrealistic to expect Mordred to carry out the clean-up work in one area of the city, one area after another.
After realizing that these monsters are very sensitive to light and sound, Mordred made a crazy plan: choose a 'fortress' directly, and then keep creating sound and light to attract monsters from all over the city.
When they heard this, everyone had an urge to cover their faces, and Ethan could already guess what was going on behind the scenes.
Mordred, who lived in 'ancient times', had no intuitive impression of the scale of modern cities, and she might have thought that killing tens of thousands of people would be a big deal, but even in North America, a sparsely populated place, a medium-sized city has more than a fraction of the population.
The number of horrors, coupled with the fact that several young people had not cooperated at all, and the lack of a strong leader in the team, and Shirley's own combat effectiveness were even more ordinary, which caused the next few people to fall into a bitter battle.
If it weren't for his extraordinary physical fitness, and Galahad's decisive 'violation' to start fighting with magic and the shield Ethan gave him, I'm afraid these girls would have to wear some color on their bodies.
In short, things have come to this point that the plan to destroy the whole city has completely failed. The plan has also changed from destroying these monsters to breaking out of the sea of monsters - they decisively rejected Galahad's suggestion to 'evacuate'.
Fortunately, when Mordred made the plan, it was Galahad who was on the side. Although Mordred didn't think about it, Galahad still considered an escape route if things didn't go well.
They escaped from the sewers from the sea of monsters - there were many monsters in the sewers, but it was much better than the monsters on the ground who were tossed by them and crowded with monsters, but there was no place to stay.
With their strong strength, they managed to kill it, but they became much more embarrassed, and Shirley's hair was also burned by a homemade Molotov cocktail during a battle - if it wasn't for the magic protection, it would have burned more than just hair.
This time, the 'play' was the cooperation of several young people...... It can be said that there is no such thing as having fun, Laura only cares about having fun, Mordred only thinks about how to be in the limelight, Galahad protects Mordred 'dutifully', and Shirley is obviously the weakest but lacks self-consciousness, but she always holds back when it is time to ask for help from her teammates.
The problem was exposed a lot, especially when it was told so bluntly by Galahad in front of everyone, it was more like slapping these young people in the face again and again.
When Galahad finished, the faces of the young men were not very good-looking, and Ethan did not say anything directly, but asked them to go back to rest.
For the teaching of several young people...... To be honest, the ship didn't pay much attention to it.
This time the outing accidentally exposed a lot of problems, and Ethan first looked at the two 'parents', namely Shirley's mother Annette, and Laura's father Logan.
"Tell me, what do you think?"
Annette didn't have any ideas, in fact, she had not been very supportive of Shirley's learning combat ability, and she preferred that her daughter would focus on academics and research like herself, and when she was older, she could serve as her assistant, and maybe she could conduct her own research after a few years of training.
She is sure that the most lacking thing in this team is research talents, and if Shirley can 'learn' well, she will become an indispensable figure in this team in the future, which will be of great benefit to both Shirley and herself.
Therefore, Shirley is not doing very well, but she is happier, maybe this will allow her daughter to 'get back on the right path'.
Logan didn't have any ideas, he wasn't much better than Laura back then, and the best way to do this was for her to understand it herself.
"When you're older, you'll be fine. β
Ethan rubbed his temples, it seemed that these two children would have these problems, but it was not just his own captain's failure to educate them - these two parents had never thought of teaching them.
"Hopefully. β
Shirley and Laura have a father and a mother, and he can't manage too wide. Since this is the attitude of being a parent, there is no need for him to dwell on these things.
Only Mordred, he had to take it seriously.
Arthur hoped that he would be able to train Mordred to be a good ruler so that he could return to his throne. Now Mordred looks like a bear child, which is absolutely unqualified.
In comparison, although Arthur was not very old at the time, he was much easier to teach.
"I have a headache, why should I worry about other people's children?"
The most important thing is that he doesn't know which direction to start with? The teaching of character and strength are not the same thing as the teaching of knowledge, especially in the case of Mordred, it seems that the best way is to make her grow up and become mature.
Going around and around, Ethan actually found that he had to do what Logan said, 'just wait for her to grow up'.
"No wonder Merlin and Arthur didn't say much about taking Mordred back this time, they still know enough about the child's character. β
Transforming Mordred is not an overnight thing, it is a long-term 'trouble', and it is not uncommon to spend ten or twenty years.
Anyway, with Merlin's strength, there is a way to change Mordred back to 'normal' age, and Ethan can guarantee that even if Mordred becomes a mature long-legged royal sister with him, he will change back to the shape of a bear child when he returns.
Thinking about the pain in the brain, Mordred's matter was put aside first, and Ethan gave Annette a copy of the flesh and blood samples of monsters such as unicorns and other monsters that he had harvested this time, to see if she could make up something.
As for the flesh and core of the evil god, he kept it for himself to study, to see if he could develop a further 'potion', if the divine blood elixir made him a demigod, maybe this elixir could make him go further? If it goes well, maybe he can really become a god-level existence.
But he didn't think things would go so well.
