Chapter 87

A sudden illness forced the players to interrupt the assassination of the witch.

With the exception of Ang Liu, Peter, and office worker Nelson, all of the game's participants fell ill, vomiting and diarrhea, sunken cheeks, and in just one day, they were dehydrated, and some were still in a coma.

What Childe Gocart thought to himself was: Why is this happening? Before entering the Afghan region, all the soldiers were vaccinated against the common malignant diseases, which is impossible, and I should not get sick......

Office worker Nelson is a little anxious, he knows this phenomenon, the newcomer curses!

Newcomers who enter the mission world for the first time will encounter this curse, this is not a disease, no medicine is effective, and it has nothing to do with physical fitness, he has seen a black man who is stronger than Detective Jason, vomiting and diarrhea until he dies, and there are soft-footed shrimp that are more useless than Peter and are unharmed, so it did not surprise him that Peter and Louis were fine.

To be honest, he already likes this team a little, and the reason why he is anxious is that everyone else is sick, only he is safe and sound, even if the Oscar winner comes, how can he play the symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea? He did have a way to make himself vomit and diarrhea, but doing so would make his combat effectiveness decrease, and in the event of an accident...... In this cruel game, what likes to happen the most is an accident, so he can't play this role as dedicated as an actor.

All he could do now was pray that the three brains on the team, Louisen, Lorel and Thomasson, wouldn't notice his abnormality, just like Peter.

Sunlight shines through the open windows, and the air smells warm.

Liu An rested his feet on the bedside table, huddled in a wide chair, reading from his phone.

It's just the shade between the two windows.

"You're in such unprotected contact with us...... Is there really no problem...... Performance......" Mr. Thomas said, gasping, as if he had to speak with a lot of effort. "We're supposed to be contagious...... Some like cholera or malaria......"

"Peace of mind. It's just plain ...... Uh-huh...... Your body is not adapted to the drinking water and land here, in Chinese, it means that the water and soil are not adapted, and it is not contagious."

Liu An said without raising his head, acting like a 2B boyfriend, and he also ate the fruit in the fruit basket on the bedside table.

Of course, the only ones who felt this way were Lorel and Jessie, who were lying on the bed with the same breath as Thomason.

Thanks to thorough preparation in advance. Even if everyone who is sick cannot eat or drink, because the food has entered the stomach, it will be spit out quickly, and at this time, IV (intravenous infusion) can be used to replenish nutrients and fluids. The transparent special drip plastic bag contains only simple saline and nutritional drugs.

"Why are you so sure?" Lorrell raised her hand to cover her brow bone, the light blinding her.

"I know some medical skills, traditional, Celestial Empire medicine, that is, traditional Chinese medicine" Liu An still didn't raise his head, and touched his body with one hand. Then, in the speechless eyes of the three people, he took out a lollipop, bit off the candy paper and put it in his mouth, and his pronunciation became a little blurred.

"I thought it was just philosophy"

Liu An's eyebrows were raised, and he didn't pick up the stubble, but explained it directly.

"Generally speaking, in ancient times, the range of movement of an ordinary person was only about 20 kilometers. Living in this environment for a long time or even for more than ten generations, the human body will become accustomed to this environment. This is the most basic illustration of Darwin's theory of evolution."

"Once you leave this environment, under unfamiliar conditions, the body will produce abnormal states to adapt to the changes in the environment, the dust in the air, and the oxygen content of the breathless air. trace elements in drinking water, nutritional composition in food...... And so on and so forth, these are the causes of physical abnormalities."

"That's why you let us drink that soup made from beef bone grass before?"

Mr. Thomas asked.

"Yep, but to get to town...... When he arrived in this kingdom, only Peter persevered."

"That's why he's fine"

"What about you?"

"You seem to have gotten one thing wrong. I'm from the Celestial Empire, not Asian-American America," Liu An raised his head and shrugged his shoulders at this time.

"Does this have anything to do with whether you are from the Celestial Empire?"

At this time, the three patients in the room had improved greatly, and with the mood and strength to laugh, Jessie laughed from a bed.

"You must not have read the Celestial Empire Crossing Journey, the omnipotent Traveler travels to another world on average 10,000 times, and only once will you get this disease...... Well, it's a joke, it's really that I'm healthy, remember what I said about the medicinal bath, that strengthened my physique"

"Still unbelievable, like telling a fairy tale...... In the future, you must let me experience that medicinal bath when I have the chance."

At this time the chef dressed up Peter? Parker knocked on the door and came in, and there were three bowls of porridge and three stacks of pickles on the tray. He has been in charge of the team's food and drink these days, and has made a deal with the tavern owner to waive everyone's travel expenses on the condition that he become a special chef in the tavern.

The diet of this world is the same as that of medieval British dark cuisine, and the big meal is barbecue except for barbecue, and it is all the same goods, look at it, if you eat it, the smell alone can make modern people shy away, so Peter? The cooking skills of Parker Lanxiang Technical School graduates have made the business of this tavern very hot, and the fat proprietress of the tavern is desperately stealing teachers in the kitchen every day.

"What about the others?"

"They are all recovering, except that they are still weak, there are no symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea"

Liu An put away his feet and gave way, and Peter placed the gruel and pickles on the bedside table between the three beds.

"Louis said that your body has just improved, and you can't eat too greasy and nutritious things, and light rice porridge and side dishes are most suitable for you"

"That's true, well, these meals are delicious and suitable for eating at such times"

"Well, yes, Peter, your craft is getting better and better, and you're lucky to be able to eat the food you make in this terrible world"

"Huh"

Peter hugged the tray and giggled between Jessie and Jorell. Liu An shook his head in his heart, this guy is really a model who is destined to masturbate for a lifetime, and at this time, he doesn't know how to propose a set of things like feeding him to brush up his favor.

After eating, the white boy walked out the door with empty dishes.

You deserve to be a girlfriend with your left (right) hand......

※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※

"I found out that you've been looking at your phone lately, and you don't look like the kind of kid who plays with your phone"

After eating, Mr. Thomasson felt warm on his body. With strength, there is also talk about sex.

"I'm reading an article, the result of a researcher in China"

"What's in charge?"

"Celestial Dynasty Traditional Chinese Medicine" Liu An raised his head, "Do you think that Celestial Dynasty Chinese Medicine is very ethereal and cloudy, and has no scientific basis?" ”

"Well, a little, although I don't know about it, but the achievements of Celestial Chinese Medicine in acupuncture and physiotherapy have been confirmed"

Mr. Thomasson reads widely when he is not "working", and he has a vague sense of hostility when talking about the subject. He didn't know why, but he replied carefully weaving the words.

"People always judge the world by their own perceptions......" Liu An smiled mockingly and pursed his lips. Don't mention this, continue our topic, have you ever watched that old-fashioned kung fu movie, the kind that can fly around and hurt people from afar? ”

"I saw it in the 80s and 90s, in the theater of the Chinese community. I was obsessed with Celestial Kung Fu for a while" Speaking of this, it seems to evoke the memories of the old man. A wistful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "But I soon realized that my strong muscles couldn't fight bullets and gunpowder, so I gave up."

"Historically, this kind of miraculous ability has existed, but thanks to Darwin's theory of evolution, it has been abandoned by our own evolutionary path...... Liu said. Clenched his fist and threw a punch into the air, and the fist wind blew, blowing his hair, and the old man looked surprised.

"In Chinese, we call it the internal force-.. e, the inner ability, the earliest originated from the Taoist health exercises, practitioners learn this ability from the changes of heaven and earth, can make themselves have a superhuman physique, by the way, the setting of superman is too unreasonable, I guess Stanley? Lee's physics class (not a clerical error, everyone knows it) must have been taught by the PE teacher."

The three people in the room all looked excited, and Lorrell asked:

"Wait, you're saying you can do those very, very cool moves like an action movie?"

"I'm a lot better than in action movies, but we're off topic, so I'm not going to answer your question" Liu An rolled his eyes.

"No, you've already said it here, just say more"

"Then listen carefully, I'll talk about the next topic"

……

The leisurely time passed quickly, and after a few days, everyone recovered with proper treatment and basically regained their heyday abilities.

"We've pretty much figured out what she's capable of now, and if the rumors are true, a frontal attack will be very difficult to kill the witch......"

In the room of the combat members, there is a cottage blackboard on which the topographic map collected a few days ago is drawn.

Mr. Thomasson spoke like a university lecturer, using a small stick as a prop.

"From the information gathered by Jessie, decades ago, the first two kings launched a crusade...... Don't laugh, it's a war even though it's only a few dozen people."

As he spoke, he laughed himself, but he quickly collected his emotions and tapped on the blackboard with his stick.

"Those knights in armor, although they are ordinary people like us, they have received a strict and formal knightly education since their youth, and their physical fitness is much better than that of people in our world...... I think you should have accepted the fact that this is no longer the Earth we are familiar with, except that humans are no different, the environment, the species, the stars...... It's not right at all, I think you should be impressed by the ordinary hunter who tried to rob us a few days ago, he can easily kill the strongest of us Jason, and the king's regular knight, one person can deal with at least ten such hunters"

Mr. Thomasson used the limited information at hand to quantify the strength of the Wild Thorn Witch as much as possible, so that everyone could establish an intuitive impression in their minds, and reduce their dependence on modern thermal weapons. Raise their vigilance, which is what Liu An intends to do.

After that, he plotted a series of traps based on the witch's travel time and route.

To be honest, Liu An never believed in the kind of stories that were exhaustive in film, television or literature, because his mind told him that it was impossible. And the career of the reincarnation has also shown countless times that there are always many accidents and traps of one kind or another.

But this old gentleman, who is more like a lecturer than a killer, designed this set of death traps, his intuition tells him that the success is really high.

……

Speaking of accidents, in the evening, a pair of professional witch hunters from this world came to the door.

The gamers had a meeting in the morning, and in the afternoon, after counting the resources in the backpacks of Lorel and Jessie, they had just prepared all the tools and were eating dinner.

Two witch hunters, dressed in black leather, pushed the door open. After glancing at the hall, he went straight to the players.

"You're the witch hunters people talk about?"

As the male hunter spoke, he frowned, not sarcastically but disappointed.

"It's up to you ......"

The huntress was the same, looking at everyone's colorful camouflage uniforms, she was very disappointed.

"Dressed like a clown, are you really witch hunters? What do you think of witches? ”

But their expressions were made to the blind man, except for Jessie. No one understood what they were talking about, only that it might be two men and women who came to the door to find fault.

Jessie was at Liu An's beckoning. Stood up.

"Hello, don't know what to call it?"

With Liu An behind her, Jessie was relieved, these days, she had seen how strong the fighting power of the boy behind her was, even though the two people on the opposite side were full of weapons.

"Hansel and Gretel"

At this time, Jessie heard Liu An whispering behind her back: "It may be the guide arranged for us by the game organizer behind the scenes."

There are about four pigtail heads and Lorel who have played TV games here.

"You mean the kind of NPCs that help the player? How can it be? It's not a video game."

"I don't think it's possible. It's like they're here to steal our business."

"But the rules of the game (mission description) don't say that we can't let the NPCs help us?"

"Stupid, they're real people, how can they be NPCs"

"Did we cross into a game box?"

“……”

Listening to the discussion behind her, Jessie's expression remained unchanged, fully carrying forward the ability and change of the white bone spirit.

"Hansel and Gretel. Right? Don't know how we can help? ”

When a beautiful woman who had never seen before smiled and asked a question, the impact on the natives of this world was very powerful, and the male hunter Hansel suddenly got up, looking like he was giving souls and forgetting what he said.

Gretel, the huntress, angrily pushed her away, stood in front of Jessie, and first looked Jessie up and down, Jessie's beauty from head to toe from modern society did make her very amazed, but she was not lace, nor was she a man, and said in a thick voice:

"You are more like a circus than bounty hunters, I advise you not to go to the silent woods to die, the witch's head (sigil, salute to my god) belongs to us, and the bounty belongs to us"

The next plot is a very cliché competition of force, using force to convince two witch hunters and let them join the hunting team? Or will they be beaten to the head and bloody, and they will automatically withdraw from the hunting competition without self-pity?

Jessie smiled and showed us the third approach.

"We are indeed all novices, but we all have to hunt down this witch, and from your warnings, you have a strong sense of justice, and I think as seniors, you won't watch us fight uncertain battles, right? And there are so many witches in the world, and you will definitely not hesitate to teach us the skills and experience of witch hunting, we think we are not competitors, we can cooperate, right? ”

Liu An secretly gave a thumbs up in her heart, there is no professional skill of garbage, only a user of garbage, this office girl showed her social value for the first time.

"We can do work together......"

Hansel was slapped in the back of the head by Gretel, who immediately looked at his companion.

"Am I wrong, we really don't want them to die, and they seem to have their own reasons for hunting witches, that being the case. What does it matter to teach them? ”

Perhaps their intention was to compete for a bounty, or perhaps it was simply a jealousy of their peers, but after Jessie gave them a hint in words, both witch hunters found themselves a very noble hint in their hearts.

At this time, Jessie used another killer move.

"We're eating, so you might as well join in. Our chef is not a chef anywhere else, and I will introduce you to my companions, they are all nice people and very kind."

Eating and drinking to open up relationships is an old-fashioned but always useful way to make friends.

Peter? Parker's narration, dressed in a staggered scene of the guests and hosts.

It was a good thing for me at the time not to have to go to the set and fight a weirdo who looked like a low-budget movie with bad makeup.

Shot: Gretel and Hansel desperately stuff food into their mouths. Dumplings, spring rolls, stir-fried meat...... Peter? Parker skillfully chopped the meat with a wide-back kitchen knife in the back kitchen, and there was a sound of ingredients entering the oil pan

At first, we thought they were lovers, but in fact they were witch hunters of their siblings and had a very good heart.

They taught us a lot about witches, as well as fighting techniques.

Let's say, they tell us that most physical attacks are ineffective against witches.

Shot 1: Hansel with a crossbow arrow. Shot through a witch's head from one eye socket, but she acted like she was fine. With a maniacal laugh, he rode away on a twisted branch. When the siblings found the witch's lair a few days later and finally cut off her head, her eyes were intact, except that the two pupils were of different colors, one blue and the other brown. On the operating table lay a corpse with its eyes gouged out, and a blue pupil was soaked in a glass container next to it

Shot 2: The two siblings work together to slash the swamp witch with strips of rags on her body, but the two parts of her body run away in two directions, as if gliding on the ground, bypassing many obstacles. The two siblings kept chasing after each other, and finally the witch's two bodies merged into one in the distance, reaching out trembling tentacles from the black slit that seemed to be filled with oil, and by the time the two siblings arrived, the swamp witch's body had been reunited...... Eventually, the two siblings savagely pierced her body with spears, like caterpillars, making her unable to struggle and resist, and burned her to death on the fire

Shot 3: Gretel and Hansel shoot wildly at a long-haired witch with a primitive musket like a hand cannon, but the scattered silver projectiles are all used by the witch with a baton-like magic wand inlaid with a soul-snatching gem, directing a black cloud to obscure it, and the witch is unharmed, and finally the witch sees the opportunity and jumps on the twisted flying branch and escapes without a trace

They can shoot deadly attacks with their wands, such as fire explosions, freezing rays, acid missiles, instant death fingers, and more.

Footage: Several witches demonstrate that a fire explosion can destroy a house, a freezing ray can freeze a person into an ice lump in an instant, and an acid missile can melt a stone, and a dead finger can instantly kill any creature of any size and human being

What excites us the most is that many of the skills that the Hunter siblings have taught us are systematically certified, such as basic hand-to-hand combat, intermediate combat, and ranged weapon mastery (bows, crossbows, throwing weapons, etc.).

Although these are very basic skills, they can greatly improve our survivability, after all, all of us, except for Childe Brother Carter and veteran Nelson, do not have any combat abilities that are recognized by the system.

I still don't know exactly what this "system" is, but that doesn't stop me from using it.

Over the next two days, Mr. Thomasson made detailed adjustments to the assassination operation based on information from the hunter siblings.

Under his command, the logistics team organizes and crafts a lot of things, such as the highly attached Tohmanov cocktail, which is said to be the only effective way to kill all the different types of witches, but the witches are also aware of their weaknesses, and it is not easy to get them to set them on fire.

There are also traps with wedges that can be driven into the ground, bundles of steel wires that are slightly thicker than a human hair, steel nails with sharpened ends, and nail guns powered by compressed air.

Almost all witches are immune to toxins, so he and the chemical potions they exchange are useless, and according to the Gretel siblings, the witches make potions that are all highly poisonous, rich in lead and mercury, heavy metals, and mineral toxins, and they need to take these things regularly, and depending on their type, some need to swallow worms, spiders, poisonous frogs, or other disgusting and deadly things.

I think their recipes must be terrible......

(The picture flashes: a witch swallows a colorful poisonous snake with a length of 2 meters, and the snake body hanging from her mouth can't help but roll disgustingly, until she sucks the still twitching, trembling snake tail into her mouth, and then stretches out her long scarlet tongue like black and white impermanence, the tip of the tongue is still forked, and licks her lips with satisfaction, revealing a terrible smile) (To be continued.) )
