Chapter 84
Through a few simple words of dialogue, the others almost realized the value of Thomason, the Asian teenager who claimed to be Louiean, and Lorrell (a white girl) in the current group.
There's nothing more fortunate than having a high-IQ professional serial killer as a teammate when it's time to kill a witch, and this Mr. Killer is reportedly a good guy when he's not on a mission, and he doesn't use his professional skills because of personal likes and dislikes, and he also has a record of nearly 150 kills.
Louis Ann, who has the information of the mission, the role of accurate and effective information needless to say, without him, you need to repeatedly use a newcomer benefit, or spend time to find out in the mission scene, which will reduce the amount of group equipment and supplies carried, and reduce the success rate of the mission.
Lorel has an excellent and calm mind, and before the others can react, she has already touched the intentions of the Asian teenager, and just by talking with her mouth, she unconsciously increases her voice in the team, making people feel that "she is so powerful", and subconsciously produces obedience.
"We don't seem to have a lot of time, what are your plans?"
Lorel crossed her hands in front of her chest and looked at Louisian, if she wasn't still wearing a school skirt and a schoolbag on her shoulders, this aura was very much like a strong woman calling for wind and rain in the workplace.
"First of all, let this Mr. Killer go"
Louis said, a white detective hesitated for a moment, exchanged a few glances with his companion, and then took the key from the waist of the headless black detective on the ground and opened Thomason's handcuffs.
Thomasson rubbed his wrist and nodded at the boy.
"Thanks"
Habitually hanging the handcuffs on his waist, the white detective turned around and said:
"Hey, it's only temporary, only in this mission. Once we get back to normal, we're still the police. Cha"
The pigtailed head on the opposite side sneered.
The Asian teenager shrugged his shoulders unimpressed.
"Secondly, in order for all of us to be able to successfully complete this game of death, we need to use the fastest way to eliminate internal differences......"
As he spoke, he and Lorrell looked across from each other. Office workers, boys, and office girls also looked there.
"Is that kind of team trust training in Zhiludao? I now need you to put aside your prejudices, stop the opposition between cats and dogs, strips and riffraff, and treat each other as friends you can trust, let's start by giving each other a hug"
※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※
Despite the lack of trust between the gangs and the police, they embraced each other.
And then also under the command of Master.shifu, squat, stand up, squat, stand up...... Master.shifu's expression was very serious, and I later learned that he was just for fun, and the expected effect was actually when the two sides were willing to hug each other for the first time. It has already been reached.
It's like a piece of ice, as long as there is a crack, its overall strength has been destroyed, and when the two sides feel each other's body temperature and heat, the antagonistic relationship under the actual social laws outside the game is the same as the ice cube, because there is a "crack" in this hug.
Next, Master.shifu and Lorel also have Mr. Thomason. One person and one sentence will do a good job of grouping for us.
Four pigtailed heads and four police officers were naturally the best candidates for combatants. In a few words, Master.shifu asked each of them to choose a leader who could manage their own people, and then made me, Lorel, Carter (Childe), office worker Nelson, office girl Jessie, and Mr. Thomas as the support staff.
In this regard, the ruffians and the strips have no opinion.
Master.shifu and I were in charge of the daily diet, and he made me exchange for my chef skills. "Does this work in battle?" That's what I thought at the time, and luckily, in a panic, I did what he wanted. Then I found out that this magical "newcomer benefit" redemption skill is only a very basic knife skill, so that I can skillfully use a kitchen knife (sharp knife) to cut all kinds of ingredients...... How do you say that Chinese, it's really a "cheating daddy"......
Lorel and Jessie are in charge of the ammunition supply, and Jessie exchanges the rookie benefits for "nursing skills" to the level of a skilled nurse. Trauma can be dealt with simply, and Lorrell has exchanged for many medicines and medical tools.
Although Mr. Nelson and Childe Brother Carter are just ordinary people, at least on the surface, Mr. Nelson is a veteran who has survived in this game for a long time, and Childe Brother Carter is not like a playboy on the surface, he has joined the army, fought in Afghanistan and terrorist organizations such as the Taliban and Akkadian (al-Qaeda) for three years, and is an elite army sniper, and it is said that he joined the army entirely to experience the excitement on the battlefield - what a damn rich second generation......
Both were well disguised and assigned to Mr. Thomas as his deputy.
All of us changed into camouflage uniforms, military daggers, and military boots, and since the "Newcomer Benefit" was exchanged for a very simple basic skill, the combat team all exchanged it for an M16 rifle with a grenade launcher, as well as 10 magazines and 10 grenades per person.
(Picture: The men smiled obscenely, and had a miserable onlooker at Jessie and Lorel, under the statement of Asian teenager Louie Ann "This is also a kind of team trust training", the police uncle said "This is not good", "This is not right", and he couldn't take his eyes off - in Chinese, after the white bone spirit Jessie compared a middle finger to everyone, he generously began to strip and change clothes, and the plump breasts and buttocks were matched with a hot body and black lace underwear, causing men to whistle, Under her cover, Lorel, who loves crazy 4 figures and wears conservative white underwear, is very inconspicuous...... )
Everyone used some of the survival points that the novice player came out of the game to buy M16 bullets, grenades, and even two shoulder-fired rocket launchers Bazooka, and some of these equipment and supplies were stored in two special backpacks that all of us pooled money and bought with newcomer benefits, like the magic backpack in the movie, which can hold a lot of things, even two girls can easily carry them, and Jessie and Lorel are in charge of these things.
The various props that appear out of thin air undoubtedly add to the realism of this game, on the body of the dead Sheriff Owen. In addition to clothes, keys, and himself, we looted all the useful things, guns, bulletproof vests, handcuffs, and walkie-talkies. Master.shifu's suggestion was to "exchange half of your survival points for team equipment, and the rest of your survival points for what you think will keep you alive", so we added 5 walkie-talkies and made 8 with the three policemen. Used as a liaison for the team, they were also equipped with a hand crank and a solar charger.
I exchanged oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, green onions, ginger, garlic, longan...... Don't laugh at me, I'm really scared, basically I do whatever Master.shifu says, he also redeems a lot of strange things, at least not related to the battle, and the things that have nothing to do with the battle are very cheap.
Mr. Thomasson's group, in addition to the necessary equipment. It was also exchanged for a lot of miscellaneous items, ropes, hooks, iron nails, gloves...... I even saw scalpels, wire and things like that.
For a person who has never used a firearm, it is dangerous to use a firearm for the first time, whether it is for himself or someone else...... There are often pig teammates who go out of the way and crash their own people in the movie, so the logistics team is persuaded by Master.shifu to exchange for a steel crossbow for self-defense.
With the exception of Lorel and Jessie, we each had a hiking bag, and Master.shifu advised the detectives to throw away the bulletproof vests and riot shields. Because they were going to escort a dangerous felon, they took these things with them. However, the offer was rejected. The gangsters also said they could help if they couldn't carry the stuff.
It seems that these things can give them a great sense of security.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the stone gate that could not be opened was opened, and it was indeed a very primitive jungle outside.
After one of us came out alone, the stone door closed and disappeared. We turned the hole inside and out, and found no trace, which seemed to me to be a good understanding, about a portal or dimensional travel or something, but probably only Mr. Thomason understood it. Those adults...... Forget it, as for Lorel, she doesn't like these things of us otaku at all.
There are three kingdoms in our three directions, and each has a witch, which is our hunting target, and Master.shifu let us choose one at random, and we will be on the road with the right direction.
Because this game doesn't give us specific information other than the presence of a witch there, and we need to collect it locally after we reach the corresponding kingdom.
※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※
A gang member and a police detective formed a two-man team, two groups to clear the way in front, one group in the center, and one group in the back, trudging through the primeval jungle.
It wasn't too hot, but everyone was sweating all but that.
"How's that, can you still hold on?"
Louis asked Peter.
"Hah...... Still, okay...... Ha...... Ha ......"
The latter stuck out his tongue, gasped like a dog, bent over, drenched in sweat.
"Try to be persistent, you have to adapt to this kind of exercise intensity, otherwise you won't be able to survive in the future"
Because of the [Fire Stealer's Backpack], Lorrell and Jessie looked very relaxed except for some sweat, Jessie didn't hear it with a steel crossbow, Lorrell frowned and asked:
"You mean there will be such missions in the future?"
"You don't really think that this kind of task can be done once and it can be over, do you?"
Louis held the strap of his backpack in both hands, and the steel crossbow hung on the backpack, and asked Mr. Thomasson in front of him:
"No offense, Mr. Thomason, why do you think you're here?"
The old man was silent for a moment, and then replied:
"Kill people, it's also the evidence of destruction, my customers come from a wide range of sources, I should be afraid of leaking information related to them from me, so I used other killers to pierce me into the sky"
Louis Ann shrugged at Lorel.
"You see, Mr. Killer is like that, not to mention the game we are participating in, I don't think the organizers behind the scenes, if they had, would have easily let us go, the equipment that appeared in our hands out of thin air, the backpack behind you, the kind of technique that allows people to quickly master skills...... How many years do you think these technologies are ahead of our world? ”
As he spoke, he patted Peter.
"So, it's better to get used to it quickly"
Originally, I walked in stinky sweat. The braided young man who wanted to hand over the backpack to Jessie for safekeeping heard this, and although he cursed "shit" in a low voice, he still gave up his original plan.
The trek through the primeval jungle is much more difficult than you think, with undulating terrain and tall trees, and impassable places with dense branches. I had to take a detour, and in the sparse woodland, there were all kinds of weeds and vines, the weeds were taller than people, and the vines were full of barbed spikes, but fortunately everyone had changed into thick and wearable camouflage uniforms.
In front of you, you need to use a machete to cut a path, and there are mosquitoes at all times, including poisonous insects, and the collar, cuffs and trouser cuffs are not tightly tied. A bite can be red, swollen and itchy, or coma and death.
By about 4 p.m., when the sun was in the west, the day had covered about 15 kilometers or so.
The depressing environment and the exertion of physical strength made everyone listless, and although he changed his military boots suitable for mountain walking, Peter's feet still had blisters, and the two girls were much stronger in physical strength and walking ability than him.
"I'm sorry......"
"Why do you want to apologize?"
Breaks. Peter's foot rests on Louiean's lap, and the Asian teenager picks at the blisters on his foot with a wooden thorn that has been broken from the vine. Squeezing out the liquid inside, Lorrell next to him pouted.
"I—I'm too wasteful, I'm a burden......"
"No one can predict the current situation, otherwise it would not be here, and it will hurt a little when I walk by applying trauma ointment. But you have to adapt."
"Yes, I know"
Lorel sat on the rock, fanning her jungle hat to cool herself, the water bottles in everyone's backpacks were almost empty by this time, and the water was distributed by the day. There was no water nearby, and everyone was thirsty.
The sweat sticking to the body is very uncomfortable, and coupled with the bad mood, everyone looks very embarrassed.
This was also the case with the veteran Nelson, but he noticed that the Asian teenager in front of him was almost sweatless, refreshing not like a person who had walked in the jungle for a day, and his kettle had barely moved, and it was full of water.
"This guy doesn't look like a kid with sophistication...... If you're a veteran like me, this acting skill is inevitably too bad, so it's not like a disguise, they don't have the leisure to care about a waste wood that is destined to be eliminated...... Asians, especially the Celestial Empire, always have something strange, is it the kind of ancient family that has been passed down? But what is certain is that the girl is a newcomer, are the children of the present so shrewd......"
At this time, Louis suddenly took off the steel crossbow behind his back and shot an arrow at Lorel.
The white girl didn't react at all, she didn't see anything in her sight, she only felt a cool breeze in her ears, and the sound of "grabbing" iron arrows into the wood came from behind.
After shivering all over, she regained control of her body, but Jessie next to her immediately burst out, pointed at the other party with a steel crossbow, and asked:
"What the hell are you doing!"
Louis raised his hands, smiled, and pointed across with his raised left index finger.
"Our Dinner"
Everyone looked over, and a large snake thicker than an adult's arm was nailed to the trunk of a tree by a crossbow arrow, and it was dying quickly for a while, and was curling its body in disgust.
※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※
By the time it was dark, they had found a fairly clean clearing in the woodland to camp.
At this time, the benefits of teamwork are revealed, take out a thick canvas from Jessie and Lorel's [Fire Stealer's Backpack] and spread it on the ground, then spread a layer of plastic sheeting, spread a blanket on top to sleep, dig a fire pit in the middle, and use gravel to build a 10-centimeter-high isolation belt, and raise a bonfire.
The insect repellent medicine was also redeemed a lot, and it was sprinkled around the area, so you don't have to worry about mosquito bites at night.
Jessie apologized to Louis for her excessive sensitivity in the evening, and after observing the whole process of skinning the snake, she said in disgust that she would never touch this "dinner".
Although he didn't even want to move his little finger, driven by a strong sense of crisis, Peter? Parker obeyed Louisian's instructions, first picked the stems and leaves of a kind of cow bone grass around, and then washed the nearly 30 catties of large snakes with limited water, cut them into small pieces of snake meat, and added salt and condiments. Bring to a simmer.
The snakeskin was not discarded, and Louisian cut it very neatly, hung off the scraps of flesh with a knife, sprinkled it with lime, and then propped it up with wooden thorns on a wooden frame made of branches.
When the meal is good, although Jessie, who is against snake meat, tries to find an ally for herself. First, although the military food pays attention to taste, it is not comparable to the snake soup with Louisian's guidance, and secondly, Lorel said a word.
"Huh? For what, snake soup is a famous dish in formal Chinese food, this is a rare delicacy, not all Chinese restaurants have the qualifications and ability to cook"
Afterwards, the office girl who was a little tsundere silently praised in her heart.
……
After the meal, Louis, Lorel, and Mr. Thomas sat around a small campfire, along with Detective Jason and gang member Rollor. The former is the head of the detectives, and the latter is the cousin of the other three and their leader in the gang.
"Tell me about your plans, according to my estimate, the supplies will be enough for four days at most, but you still exchange these things......" Thomas asked in a relaxed tone, shaking the half-full beer bottle in his hand that was still frozen in dew, like an elder next door. I think you must have your calculations. I have to say, after eating a meal of snake meat like that. It was a rare treat to have a cold beer, especially in a place like this."
Louis drew an isosceles triangle on the ground, and on each of the three corners, he drew a small triangle, and at the end of the circle was dotted in the middle.
"This is where we appeared. The distance in a straight line from the three kingdoms is almost a hundred kilometers, and at our current speed, it will take six to a week to reach the southeastern forest kingdom at the earliest."
"Is there a reason why you chose this place?" Lorrell asked.
"The witches of the north live in the poisonous mist swamps. The environment there is cold and muddy all year round, and there is often no sunlight for several months, and the poisonous fog swamp, as the name suggests, the fog there contains toxins, and the thermal weapons we can rely on now are very advanced and are very little affected by the swamp environment, but we as users are very limited, that is, the line of sight"
"I understand, that's true, that kind of environment is really not suitable for me to observe and ambush, you think very thoughtfully, what about the location in the southwest?"
"The latitude there is very high, the land under our feet is high in the west and low in the east, in addition to altitude sickness, choosing the southeast here also has the consideration of saving physical strength, and judging from the intelligence, the witch here lives in the woodland, and the field of vision is relatively broad, whether it is to observe her movements or set up an ambush, it should be very convenient."
Thomasson nodded as he stared at the stick figure on the ground as he touched the beard on his chin.
"As for supplies, the kingdom of Karn in the north and the kingdom of Saasfoster in the southeast have built a trade road in the forest...... "Louis redrew a triangle connecting the kingdoms of Karn and Susfoster." Our current direction is to the east, and we are not afraid of deviations, as long as we continue in this direction, we will find this path in a week at most, and then we can rely on the barns and villages along the way for supplies."
"But what about the money, we don't have any currency here," Lorrell asked.
"No, we do, remember those big bags of sea salt?" Thomas raised his head and first looked at Louis, who was sitting opposite, and then said to Lorrell with a smile: "Girl, as smart as you are, your background determines that you are destined to ignore something."
Lorel frowned and thought about the relationship between sea salt and currency.
Rorol and Jason sat there in the background, holding his legs, baring a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and laughing.
"No, I'm from a slum, and I don't know, so let's stop playing dumb riddles and just say it."
Jason: "Agreed"
"This is an inland area, no matter what era it is in, as long as the people here still eat salt, those sea salts are hard currency harder than gold, and less risky than we carry gold."
Rollor, Jason, and Lorrell were all in a daze.
Louis added: "Another point is that this kingdom in the southwestern highlands is more barbaric, some like the Vikings and German savages of the Dark Ages, who often raid the other two kingdoms on a large scale, and among us there are otaku boys, daughters and office girls, which don't match the style there."
After a few more conversations and a schedule for the vigil, Louis called Peter, who was boiling the stems and leaves of the beef bone grass by the fire? Parker.
"This is commonly known as the elixir of cow bone grass, the main effect is to improve immunity, everyone has to drink a cup, we come to a strange world, we must fight against all enemies, bacteria, environment, it helps us to maintain the balance of the microecology in the body, not easy to get sick"
Despite the bitter taste, everyone drank it with a frown. (To be continued......)
