Chapter III

"Damn! Why am I so unlucky? Tang Long kept scratching while eating the food he had obtained after completing the training with great difficulty: "How can those perverted instructors engage in some ancient training methods?" Is there still a focus on physical strength in this day and age? ”

It's no wonder that Tang Long is scratching, he has been coming to this base for three days, and every day is a weight-bearing running, swimming, sit-ups, push-ups, handstand pull-ups and other physical exercises. And it wasn't to measure Tang Long's physical strength to exercise, after the robot issued a terrifying target, if Tang Long didn't do it, he would be whipped up. For example, push-ups, one order is 100 times, and if you can't do it, you will have no food and whipping, Tang Long is very surprised that he can live until now.

You must know that in this era, except for sports athletes who have super-intense training, ordinary soldiers do not need to train much physical strength. Now you can fight with just your fingers and your brain. Why do you have to work so hard?

Tang Long has an hour's rest time after each meal, and it seems that the robot also understands the truth that it can't do intense activities after eating. Tang Long is ready to use this time to have some fun now.

"Well, if you smoke after the meal, you will be really happy, and you will be a fairy." Tang Long wiped his mouth and stood up and sighed. He's just talking, he's never smoked, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't learn it, and the ghost called him a living person in this base.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that I, a private, could actually be robbed." Tang Long pressed the laser pistol on his waist, looked at the dark hall with a somewhat stiff expression and said.

I don't know how, since he blew up the dining room, the power in the hall has been out of power from time to time. The robot instructor did not pursue him for blowing up the dining room, but gave him a pistol, and fortunately with a gun on his body, Tang Long would not be so afraid in the dark. Of course, he didn't dare to take it out and shoot casually, the consequences of accidentally shooting the instructor a few times yesterday, and now he feels that his legs and stomach will cramp when he thinks about it.

Tang Long looked at the pitch-black scenery, gritted his teeth, and pulled his finger into the trigger. Of course, he still didn't pull out the gun in its entirety, so he pressed it on his waist and walked out of the dining room.

He didn't want to leave the bright dining room, but now not only did he have no electricity in his room, but he didn't know when the dining room would suddenly run out of power and close the door. The door that was blown up had already been repaired by an automatic repair device. There is only a recreation room where there is electricity in the entire base, and Tang Long has entered that place once, and there are all three-dimensional games. It was also for this reason that Tang Long dared to go into the dark hall to go to the entertainment room.

"! It's changed again! Tang Long scolded angrily, he found that every time he came to the place that was originally the entrance to the recreation room with his memory, he would become unaware of where he went. He had to look around the hall in the dark, from place to place.

Tang Long didn't know why the entertainment room didn't open it when he sensed that someone was in front of him, and he had to use his own manual to get in. It can only be explained by the absence of electricity. He didn't know that the power failure rate of the military base was only 0.0001%, and the only way to cause a power failure was to destroy the entire base.

Tang Long bent over the wall with a gun in one hand and groped for himself carefully, while muttering to himself to be courageous: "I really don't know what idiot has installed the manual door opening device of this base so low that I have to do abdominal exercises before I am full...... Ah, found it. Tang Long touched a sudden starting point and shouted happily.

The last time he found the recreation room, the break had passed, because he had to open room by room to see. So after that time, he fired a few shots into the corner, but because of the automatic repair device, he had to shoot a large hole and stuff the discarded laser gun energy cartridge inside. This way, the auto-repair device will not lose the mark.

Tang Long was anxious to break the record of playing a shooting game last night, and when he just opened the door and wanted to rush in, the scene in front of him immediately made his mother collapse to the ground with a scream, because there was a skeleton man standing at the door, whose whole body bones could be seen.

Tang Long moved back in a panic, pulled out the pistol on his waist, raised his hand to aim, and wanted to shoot. But the moment he pulled the trigger, he noticed a flash of green light in the skull's eyes. It was the light he was most familiar with, the one that would wake him up at night when he dreamed. So his heart jumped and he hurriedly pressed his hand down, and stammered, "Teach ...... Teach...... Hello instructor. ”

The skull man nodded, his deep white teeth cracked up and down, and an emotionless voice came from there: "Good, you have been able to control the shooting." Hehe, if you had just shot me, I don't know what the punishment would have been for the crime of murdering the chief twice? Speaking of which, the green light in the robot's eyes became brighter.

Seeing that weird green light, Tang Long only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, and he quickly got up and stood aside respectfully and didn't dare to move.

"Tang Long, what are you afraid of?" The robot instructor was also a backhand, and the sound of the skeletons touching made Tang Long's goosebumps rise.

Although Tang Long didn't know what the instructor was asking for, he still straightened his chest and replied loudly: "Report sir, I'm afraid of soft-body reptile creatures!" And also...... And then there's the ghosts! Speaking of this, Tang Long secretly glanced at the robot. He has been trained for three days by the instructor to go beyond the perverted training method, and now he has turned the soldier's movements into his own conditioned reflexes.

"Oh? Mollusks and fictional ghosts? The robot instructor was very human, holding his arms to his chest and touching his metal chin with his snow-white bony hands.

Tang Long didn't notice the proof of this intelligent robot at all, and he didn't dare to look at the instructor with a skeleton at all now. It wasn't until he heard the sound of a metal weight moving past him into the darkness that he dared to open his eyes and glanced at the metal skeleton looming in the darkness.

Of course, after glancing at it, Tang Long immediately ran into the entertainment room like a rabbit, and he wanted to throw away that ominous feeling by playing games.

But when Tang Long was still just starting to play, there was a hurried whistle outside the door, which was the whistle to end the break. Tang Long reluctantly left the game console, and when he came to the door, he found that the hall had not turned into daylight as before, and it was still dark.

That sense of foreboding was even stronger, and Tang Long was hesitating when he couldn't get out. The power to the game room suddenly went out, and the entire base went dark. Frightened, Tang Long hurriedly held the pistol tightly.

Just as Tang Long was panicking, there was a clicking sound in the distance. Listening to the voice, Tang Long knew that it was the sound of the robot walking. Hurriedly opened his eyes wide and looked at the dark place in front of him.

After a while, with the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, Tang Long first saw ten points of light that shook green, and then five skeletons that were faintly white and shiny. Seeing that terrifying scene, Tang Long's tightly held hand snapped and fell. But Tang Long didn't pick it up, he didn't say move now, and even the simple action of closing his eyes was too scared to execute.

Tang Long watched with a daze as the five robot instructors with no clothes on walked in front of him. The robot spread its legs apart and put its hands behind its back: "Stand upright!" ”

Hearing this order, Tang Long's reflexive legs were together, and he snapped and gave a military salute: "Hello sir!" Then follow the example of an instructor with his hands behind his back. It wasn't until these unconscious movements were completed that Tang Long came to his senses. But now Tang Long didn't have time to worry about being afraid.

"Now announce the three-month training target for Private Tang Long! One: Exercise courage, two: Exercise physical fitness, and three: Exercise dodge. If you have any questions, ask them immediately! I don't know which robot said this, but I didn't see anyone's mouth moving.

When Tang Long heard this, he immediately threw his fear and didn't know where to throw it, his curiosity prevailed, so he immediately raised his hand and asked, "Report to the instructor, what is the exercise of courage?" ”

No one answered him, and when Tang Long was about to ask a question, the dark surroundings changed, turning into a dark and terrifying forest environment. "It's at least a little better than darkness." Tang Long, who shuddered, thought so. But soon he longed to return to the arms of darkness.

Because in addition to this dark environment, there were also some kneading things around, and Tang Long fixed his eyes on all kinds of soft and slippery snakes, disgusting caterpillars, terrifying scorpions, and other soft reptiles. There are also all kinds of rotten zombies that have only been seen in three-dimensional movies, and the disgusting corpse worms actually crawl all over the bodies of those zombies, and keep falling down as the zombies move.

There was no need to think about it, Tang Long saw such a terrifying scene, of course, he immediately screamed. Of course, the instructor also whipped immediately. Tang Long was chased and whipped several times, but he still didn't calm down, and desperately shrank into the corner of the wall, as if he wanted to stuff himself into the wall.

"As a soldier, you're actually afraid of these fictional things, what are you messing with! Listen up! You will be living in such an environment for a month, the canteen will still be open and closed on time, and if you don't eat during the opening hours, you will be hungry for that meal! And you can only use ancient metal weapons to resist these images that attack you. Keep in mind that this is an improved virtual system in the game of Fear, and if you are attacked by them, you will take more damage than real. ”

Again unknown which robot said this, the five of them disappeared into the darkness after the sound fell, leaving behind a large metal knife.

Although Tang Long's consciousness was about to disappear, because those terrifying things did not come close to him, he could still retain a sense of consciousness, and at the same time, he also heard the words of the instructor, of course he, a game lover, knew the game "Fear". This game is a product of the emergence of virtual reality systems a long time ago, which transmits information directly to the brain through the sense of neurotouch, so that the scene is confronted with an effect beyond reality.

When the game was first tested, the terrifying number of the 100 gamers who participated in the test reached 90 with neuropathy, and all of these 100 people were virtually injured and became mentally disabled, and super psychological treatment could not cure them. This psychological cripple refers to the fact that in the game, if the hand is cut off by a monster, the brain thinks that this feeling is real, and will give up the command function of the intact hand, making the hand become crippled after the game.

Since the realism of the game transcends the real, this game was abandoned before it was finished. Later, it was used to make airplanes, racing cars and other games, and because of the surpassing real system, the player died when he failed. Of course, there are people who use this system to create pornographic games, but unfortunately they are still killed by this horrific system. The virtual system has also been improved, but with a sense of transcendence and beyond, it becomes a normal stereoscopic game. In the end, the government issued a strict ban on the development of such virtual reality systems, because it is not only dangerous but also makes it impossible to distinguish between the real world and the virtual world. As a result, this imprisoned system is called the Grim Reaper system, and the unfinished Fear is called the Grim Reaper game.

Tang Long didn't expect that the robot would actually dig out this set of Death Game, if he was not careful, he would freeze in a minute.

When people are faced with danger and great fear, there are two manifestations: one is the loss of the self and the other is the transcendence of the self.

Although Tang Long faced these things that he was most afraid of in his heart, he also knew that fear in this system would only bring death. With a synthesized voice coming from above: "The game will start in 10 seconds, please get ready." 10, 9, 8, 7......" Tang Long jumped up violently and pounced towards the big knife that had been wrapped in snakes of all sizes.

He knew that the hairs on his body were standing on end now, and he was surrounded by a hairy feeling, especially when he touched the slippery soft creature, he felt that the hair was about to fly out of his scalp. But what are these in the face of life's temptations?

Tang Long picked up the knife when his voice counted to 1, then turned around and ran. Because the objects that had been motionless began to make terrifying noises and pounce on him.

"You five metal bastards! I x your ancestors for 36 generations! If I don't tear you up into scrap metal and sell them after a month, I won't be surnamed Tang! Tang Long's curse came out in this forest, and of course it was entrained: "Die!" "Kill!" "Mom!" These shouts and screams.

When Tang Long was facing great danger, hundreds of millions of light years away on the planet Ladd, there was also a person in an apartment in a certain city who anxiously picked up the stereo phone, this was a woman who still had charm, and I saw her anxiously waiting for the phone to be connected.

A three-dimensional avatar of a middle-aged man appeared, and he saw that the woman was slightly stunned, and before she could speak, the woman had already shouted anxiously: "Tang Long has not contacted me for three days, what should I do?" ”

"Three days?" The middle-aged man was obviously taken aback when he heard this, but he hurriedly said: "I think he probably didn't know where to play, and he was so happy that he forgot to call home, right?" ”

"Impossible! You also know that Tang Long is very well-behaved, why didn't he contact us for three days. He...... Could something be wrong......" the woman choked up a little as she said this.

The middle-aged man hurriedly comforted: "Our son is so clever that nothing will happen, if something really happened, the police would have notified us a long time ago." …… Okay, it's better to report the case first, Tang Long has an ID card, and he can find out where he is soon. ”

The woman, who was already in tears, thought that there was another way to confirm her son's safety, of course, by pressing the stereo phone immediately. After a while, next to the middle-aged man's portrait, a female police officer in a police uniform appeared, and she smiled and asked, "Hello, this is the Federal Police Department, how can I help you?" ”

The woman knew that this was a virtual person, and it belonged to the computer, so she said without much politeness: "My son is missing, and his ID number is lade0125tanglong34140531221." "The woman memorized the number as early as when she was helping her son apply for an ID card.

"Okay, please wait a minute." The policewoman was still smiling, and she didn't see any expression, so she stopped for a moment and said: "I found out, Tang Long, male, from Radstar 0125 District, born in 3414 of the cosmic calendar." He joined the Federation Army on the planet Kayla three days ago and is currently undergoing military training. ”

"What?!" The woman and the middle-aged man who was listening at the same time showed shocked and disbelieving expressions. They didn't expect their son to become a soldier after only three days of leaving.

"This can't be, this can't be! How could he go to be a soldier? It can't be ......," the woman shook her head in disbelief. The middle-aged man was more courageous, and soon woke up from this shocking news, and he comforted the woman: "If you are a soldier, you will be a soldier, anyway, there is no war now, at most you will be a compulsory soldier for three years, and Tang Long, this guy has nothing to do all day, and his health is so poor, it will be more beneficial for him to train as a soldier in the future." ”

The woman just couldn't accept it at first, but she soon came to her senses, and for her that nothing had happened to her son, she let go of the stone in her heart. And as my husband said, this is a time of peace, and it's a good thing to go into the army to exercise, and it's not that I can't visit anyway.

So she wiped away her tears and asked the policewoman, "What training camp is he in?" ”

The policewoman paused again before saying, "I'm sorry, this is a military secret and can't be found." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, he had never heard of the fact that the training camp was a military secret, if the training camp was all secret, it would be strange if the parents of those recruits did not protest, so he asked strangely: "This is impossible, you check it more carefully." "Thousands of years ago, teleconferencing was possible, so middle-aged people could still talk to police officers even though they were on a different phone.

"Okay." The policewoman kept that smile again after speaking, and this time she was silent for a longer time. The couple looked at the policewoman nervously.

After a long time, the policewoman shook her head: "I'm sorry, the level of secrecy in his training camp is SS-level, and even the Federal Marshal can't know about it." Is there anything else you can help with? ”

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and didn't go back, he was a businessman with quite a status, so he knew that the secret code of the country's final weapon could only reach the S-level, and now his son's training camp was actually S-level! What a training camp it would be. The businessman's keen instincts made him feel that his son was in a very dangerous whirlpool, so he hurriedly stopped his wife, who was still trying to say something, and told the policewoman that there was nothing wrong.

Seeing that the policewoman had disappeared before she could make it clear, the woman couldn't help but ask dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter?" What is SS Rating? Where is Tang Long? ”

The middle-aged man showed a serious expression and said: "Don't ask so much, when I come back and explain to you, you have to remember that if someone asks where Tang Long has gone in the future, you will say that you have gone to study in other places." No matter who asks like this, you have to answer like this, because it is related to Tang Long's life safety. Okay, you wait for me at home, and I'll be back. ”

The woman couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw her husband's serious expression, she had never seen her husband have such a serious expression, although she didn't know what was happening, but for the safety of her son, she still nodded to show that she understood.

A few hours later, the middle-aged man appeared next to her and explained to her the meaning of SS, and the woman was also shocked. They decided not to ask about their son for the time being, but they also felt strange, they knew best what kind of person their son was, could such an ordinary teenager participate in SS-level affairs?

In fact, Tang Long's parents were too worried, and they had said before that the federal terminal computer was a smart computer, and 'her' only friends were the five robots who lived the same age as 'her'. Since the existence of the 23rd Regiment was discovered hundreds of years ago, it was almost destroyed. In order to protect her friends, she positioned the 23rd regiment as a top state secret, and no one could inquire about it. This time, it was because Tang Long was the first to apply for the 23rd regiment in hundreds of years, and he left traces in the computer to find out. But now, even if Tang Long's parents want to check, they can't find it, because all the information was modified after 'she' learned that someone was looking for the 23rd regiment. It was also because of this incident that 'she' became interested in Tang Long, the only human being who appeared in the 23rd regiment.

A month later, five ** metal skeleton robots appeared in the hall, and with their appearance, the deep forest of the hall disappeared. The entire hall was restored to a snow-white environment.

A man with a dirty uniform, long hair, and a somewhat thin figure sat cross-legged in the center of the hall with his head bowed, holding in his hand a metal knife that had been scanned by too many lasers to resemble a laser knife. A faint murderous aura was leaking from him.

The disappearance of the forest did not cause the man to raise his head, nor did the robot react to his approach. The five robot instructors looked at the soldier while listening to the synthesized voice from above: "Gamer Tang Long, the game time is 29 days, 21 hours, 35 minutes and 53 seconds, and 18,604 enemies have been destroyed." ”

The robots were slightly stunned when they heard this number, and when they heard the time at first, they guessed that Tang Long should destroy a maximum of 8,604 enemies, which was calculated by killing 5 enemies in a minute, but they didn't expect that there were 10,000 more.

"Well done, Tang Long. After living this month, I believe that the fear in your heart is gone. As soon as the robot finished speaking, Tang Long raised his eyes and glared, and the robot, which had never known what fear was, suddenly realized that he didn't dare to face Tang Long's eyes. This is also because they are intelligent robots and have the same emotions as humans. Otherwise, Tang Long's sharp eyes would be as useless as intimidating the computer.

Tang Long now saw that these skeleton robots had no fear at all, he was almost lying on the dead corpse to sleep this month, although it was virtual, but it was very real, not only the rancid smell but also the sticky nausea, such a skull man was simply scaring a child to him. So he jumped up in anger and raised his knife to slash at the robot.

He has lived an inhuman life this month, those virtual monsters attacking him will not only make him feel pain, but also those insects and insects on his body, the nausea of rubbing sticky feeling is very real, and those zombies were hacked to death splashed corpse insects, corpse water, rotten pieces of meat, with a stench sprinkled on himself, immediately let himself vomit all the stomach acid.

These are nothing, although I was scared at first, but over time I became numb. It's annoying that when eating, going to the toilet and sleeping, these disgusting things will follow without knowing whether they are alive or dead. When you go to the toilet, you have to chop those peeking zombies and watch out for the hands sticking out of the toilet. When sleeping, you should always be awake, and if you accidentally get eaten in your sleep. Especially when eating, the way those corpse insects knead the food, can make you unable to eat for three days. Although I don't know how heavy it is now, I can be sure that I must be doing it now. So the annoyed Tang Long desperately slashed the robot to deflat.

However, although the metal knife was sharpened like a laser knife on the outside, it was not after all, so in addition to the sound of the collision, there was a feeling of Tang Long's numbness, and the metal of the robot was not ordinary hard.

"Mom!" Tang Long, who had not been electrocuted for more than 20 days, was whipped a few times, then dropped the big knife and rolled on the ground.

"You attack the commander with a sharp weapon, and you will be punished with 300 push-ups! If you don't finish it, you won't have anything to eat! The robot that was slashed by Tang Long said coldly.

Tang Long then remembered that the five guys in front of him were different from those zombies that could be cut to pieces, all of them were robot chiefs who couldn't be killed and had no surname. Knowing the current affairs, he hurriedly stood up and stood upright: "It's sir!" x&$@#*" He also remembered that as long as he said something first, he could swear these guys. So while doing push-ups, he cursed the swear words that he had spoken so well this month.

There's no way, this month you're facing enemies who can't speak human language, so how can you do it if you don't kill them while scolding and swearing? If you don't speak for a month, you'll become dumb.

This month has often faced the threat of death, Tang Long's physical fitness has long been extraordinary, although he almost can't get up after doing these 300 push-ups, but it is just almost, so he can still stand upright.

"Very good, now you take a break, and in the two months starting tomorrow, we will have a combination of dodge training and physical training." The robot instructor said coldly.

As soon as Tang Long heard this, he immediately maintained a straight posture and fell down, and at the same time a snoring sound sounded. You know, he hasn't slept a good night's sleep in a long time.

When the five robots saw Tang Long falling, they all shot red light out of their eyes and scanned Tang Long, and then they walked to Tang Long's head and limbs respectively and stood up. I didn't see how they moved, and the floor under Tang Long slowly rose up with Tang Long. It stops when it reaches the robot's waist.

At this time, the robot's green electronic eyes suddenly turned blue, and ten blue lights began to sweep back and forth on Tang Long's body. After ten minutes, Tang Long's somewhat dark and somewhat dry skin regained its healthy color, and the robot's blue eyes also returned to a green color, but it seemed that the green light was not as bright as before. Finally, one of the robots picked up Tang Long and walked towards Tang Long's residence.

The remaining four droids were still standing in place, and although they didn't move, they began to talk:

"It looks like we can't have enough energy for a year."

"There's no way, who told us to carry out cell activation on Tang Long every three or five days to promote his metabolism. Without this, how could he support such intense training. ”

"Hehe, thinking about Tang Long, it's quite powerful, staying in "Fear" for a month didn't leave any sequelae."

"Fortunately, if I hadn't hypnotized him every night, he would have been crippled if he wasn't crazy."

"Don't take credit, there are two months left to strengthen his physical training and practical skills. The next few months were all about strategy, ship command, and air combat skills. ”

"It's not enough, I still think of a lot of things to give him, such as what kind of psychological control course, espionage course......"

"Okay, you want to turn him into a special forces?"

"It's not a special soldier, I want to train him to be an all-rounder."

If you hadn't looked at the four robots standing motionless, and listened with your ears alone, you would have thought that a few very close friends were discussing something enthusiastically.

At this time, the robot that sent Tang Long back to the dormitory came out, and the four robots stopped discussing and all looked back at the robot.

"Needless to say, we went according to the plan. Our only student can't just be an ordinary soldier, we need to strengthen his training in the ability to command the whole situation! The robot was clearly the head of the five, and when he said this with his hands behind his back, the other four all joined their legs together and saluted, "Yes!" ”
