Chapter Fifty-Four: I, David... I'm back again...
Edward was unlucky, he was originally very popular with women because of his handsome appearance and wealthy family, that is, a rich second generation in the eyes of ordinary people, so the first half of his life was smooth sailing and happy.
But it may also be too carefree, and when he was driving a private spaceship out on a space trip, he was encountered by pirates and kidnapped in a very bloody way...
The ransom offered by the robbers is not too high, only 50 million federal coins, if it is for the poor acid like David and Luo Yanchuan, it is natural that they can't take out the pot and sell iron, and it is better to simply die with the enemy...
But for Edward's family, it was a little painful to let out a little blood, and the good thing was that when Edward was kidnapped, a passing spaceship happened to witness it, and it was very kind to help him call the police...
Originally, this was nothing, and the efficiency of the federal police in handling cases was a perfect ending that was long overdue after the personal money was cleared, but it happened to run into the federal crackdown once every few years...
The federal SWAT officers who tried their best to show themselves were like chickens, crushing a ticket of robbers and chasing him for three star fields in a row, and the hapless Edward suddenly became a punching bag, and after being analized by the angry robbers, he was directly sold as a slave to the traffickers, and after several turnovers, he was actually sold to Garda, becoming a glorious infinite battlefield battle royale...'player'
To a certain extent, he is lucky, because he has a lot of courage, he has also played a lot of extreme sports, such as space skydiving, military combat games, and even drove a single tank.
He survived when he parachuted down, and landed near the Yangtze River in the middle of the continent because of the order in which he was dropped, which allowed him to quickly find a supply box with no one to compete for.
There were not many things in the box, three packs of military compressed biscuits that had just been taken out of cold storage, a sapper shovel, a pair of individual tactical helmets, and a Desert Eagle pistol that could be used as an antique, and he directly used the shovel to carve a hole under a relatively hidden cliff on the river bank, and spent three days peacefully.
Since he didn't know anything, he planned to talk about the cats first, and the last thing he lacked by the river was food, and because it was a saltwater river, he just had to go out at night to catch some seafood, so he didn't have to risk his life to grab the supply crates with other 'players'.
But he didn't know that his every move had already been filmed by those drones in the sky, and was broadcast to paid programs in major star fields, and was complained by many viewers:
"The lucky one survived for three days in the center of the battlefield with seafood!"
"666, it hasn't been discovered yet, it's really a model of full strength paddling, and a new generation of salted fish kings was born."
"Fall! I knew that I would have pressed such an instigation, it was better than the stupid X who just parachuted and floated directly into the sea to feed the fish..."
Edward, who was named the new generation of salted fish king by the audience, knew that he was suffering, but in the past three days, his spirit has become more and more anxious, because he found that the place he chose seemed to be a little weird, at first it was like a hot summer, but recently it was getting colder day by day, and yesterday when he saw the clear ice cubes on the Yangtze River, he almost stared out his eyeballs...
It's a summer of more than 30 degrees now, and the Yangtze River is starting to freeze? What the hell are you kidding me!?
Edward originally wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, but it was too late, and the place where he found himself seemed to be gradually evolving into the center of a large maelstrom, and more and more 'players' began to haunt the surroundings, and there was even no shortage of 'veterans', which directly led to him not even daring to go out of the cave now, for fear of leaving clues and being shot on the spot.
It was not without his thoughts that he would go directly to the 'veterans', but he was immediately repelled by the bloody facts, and yesterday he began to see with his own eyes a certain 'refugee friend' who had a relationship on a slave ship tried to go up and get close to a 'veteran', but was directly shot and killed on the spot by the vigilant veteran.
It seems that for some reason, they are at least here, extremely distrustful of strangers, as if this will interfere with one of their 'big plans', and this plan seems to have something to do with the Yangtze River, Edward has seen more than once that some unlucky people were forced by those veterans to sneak into the bottom of the river, only to be quickly turned into a corpse in the river by other gangs.
The strange thing is that the surface of the river, which was originally stained red with blood, will soon be 'purified and bleached', as if it has been swallowed by some inexplicable force.
This also makes people more and more convinced that the 'supplies' thrown into the bottom of the river are a good thing! Maybe it's one of the most rare biological weapons?
The veterans who were lucky enough to survive more than five rounds still clearly remember how heavy the losses caused to the opposing forces by the batch of alienated eggs that were released that time.
And as time passed, the original confrontation gradually led to local armed conflicts, and on the sixth day, with the arrival of an android army from the blue side, it finally turned this place into a battlefield meat grinder!
The newly-born artificial people, under the command of an 'indigenous' officer, began to rush into the river with tools against the opposing fire.
Bang!
Outside the cave where Edward was, a bright pebble washed away by the river was shattered and shattered, making his heart tremble.
More stones were then shattered, and the blood-soaked sand and black earth jumped together, bounced and splattered with sorrow, and covered the corpses lying on the sand.
Many of the cyborgs who had just been 'born' were lying on the ground like this, looking helplessly at the sky, before they had time to give birth to perceptions such as death and fear, but the passage of life in their bodies made them feel an indescribable emptiness and sadness.
"Is it that I was made to fall here, this... Is that the meaning of my existence..."
Edward was prostrate in the cave, his fingers pinching the bloody rubble in front of him, his face pale and gasping for helplessness.
He looked through the telescope that came with the tactical helmet, his pupils were slightly dilated to look at the dense white bullet marks over the river beach, listening to those sharp and piercing screams, the whole person's body was completely stiff, and it was clear that his body was still full of strength, but there was no way to normally direct the skeletal muscles to make the correct response through the nervous system.
Because all the lives in front of him are like him, but at this moment they are wantonly slaughtered like cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, he saw with his own eyes that one second he was still full of curiosity about the world, and the next second, just like the movie showed, the heavy body was torn apart by the howitzer and thrown away, becoming a mess of bloody broken pockets, and the scene was so depressed that he wanted to cry.
"It's... Is it a real battlefield? Father... Mother... I'm not out there anymore, I miss you so much! Let me go back, okay... Okay..."
However, the truth does not depend on human will, and when Edward buried his head in the dirt trembling like an ostrich out of excessive fear, he did not see a 'native veteran' on the riverbank roaring with excitement.
Because a reinforced regiment arrived ahead of schedule, the blue side, with the absolute superiority in numbers, finally forcibly dragged the stone that had sunk to the bottom of the river out of the river and dragged it to the river beach after paying heavy losses.
And everyone, including the audience in front of the screen, finally had a chance to get a glimpse of the whole picture of this mysterious material.
Is it a big ice cube?
And inside the ice cube, there is a pair of men and women hugging each other?
The only thing that is slightly strange is that I don't know if there are too many dead people in this river, too much blood is shed, but at this moment, this ice cube, under the sunlight, actually reveals a trace of blood that makes people palpitate.
Everyone had guessed what it would be, it could be a biochemical weapon, or some black technology equipment, or a freezer loaded with valuable genetic components, but they never imagined that it was actually two corpses?
What kind of plane is Garda's organizers doing?
There was a brief ceasefire on the battlefield because of this great contrast and dismay.
The officer on the blue side seemed to be equally incredulous, but after paying a heavy price, he had obtained such useless 'supplies'!
With a depressive roar, he pulled out his rifle and fired at the large block of ice.
Bang!
Under the gaze of countless people, the ice cube that was difficult to destroy in the slightest bit by a group of poor acids on the Pearl was actually clicked, and a crack appeared...
The scene became silent again, and even Director Carmen, who was sitting in the spaceport at the top of the clouds, couldn't help but sit up when he saw this scene, obviously not expecting this thing to be unsealed so quickly, and couldn't help but quickly order a series of orders.
After the officer fired the shot, for some reason, he suddenly became a little uneasy, and this uneasiness began to thicken with the cracks that kept creaking out of the ice.
Finally, in the midst of all the attention, the blood-colored ice cube seemed to have reached the limit of its strength, and exploded with a bang, and countless broken ice chips spilled from the bodies of the two people, as if a crystal snow-colored carpet was spread under their feet.
And the next moment, the 'corpse' wearing the ugly armor that had obviously been melted away, actually moved!
I saw that he seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, ignoring everything around him, just holding the girl in the maid's costume, slowly raising his right hand towards the sun in the sky, as if to pull it in the palm of his hand, and said slowly in a hoarse voice that only he could hear:
"I'm David, I'm back again..."
