Chapter 266: It's All a Joke

【Game End】

Chang Rui didn't say anything, and chose to take the initiative to go offline.

The identity is exposed, and there is nothing left.

The game hive was empty, he took off the auxiliary equipment, his eyes were cold, and the whole person seemed to be hollowed out, and he walked out of the room in a daze.

It's just a game, but it makes him feel so uncomfortable, like losing a piece of his life.

Outside the room, the long corridor is full of people, talking and laughing, all of them are players who are in a hurry to experience the game world.

"Ding......

Chang Rui was silent, not knowing what to do, walked to the elevator and took the elevator slowly down.

On the first floor of the hive building, there is a spacious and bright hall.

The hall is noisy and lively, mostly young people, with tall crystal lamps and bright crystal lamps, and more than a dozen giant screens of different sizes hanging around, and the giant screens play classic scenes in the game.

In the center of the hall, there is a pure white floating column, and the advanced 3D holographic image technology is used around the column, and the light is intertwined, projecting a young and handsome character image on the column, which is the commander of the north wind driving the mecha.

Chang Rui's eyes were glazed, and when he saw the projection, he suddenly seemed to be back in the game.

"Legendary ......"

He unconsciously pronounced these two words, which were the introduction of the commander in the game's promotional video.

Just a moment ago, he was still in the game, and the commander was right in front of him, but now he was far away from two worlds, the virtual and the real intertwined, which was terrifying.

At this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate.

Chang Rui took out his mobile phone and saw the familiar name of Li Yun on the screen.

Come to think of it, those two people are crazy now.

But what can he do?

He even regretted it a little, all kinds of complicated emotions surged up, and in the end he only sighed and pressed the red refusal.

……

"Both...... All...... ...... all."

Li Yun was really dumbfounded, holding his mobile phone tightly, and repeatedly called Chang Rui, as if there was a fire burning in his heart.

The same is true for the player who controls the dog, contacting Chang Rui through various online methods, whether it is a private message in the game or a message on a forum account, he has tried everything, but Chang Rui has never replied.

They saw that Chang Rui's avatar had gone dark.

"What the hell is this guy doing?"

"Hurry up and bring that old guy back from Shi Sishi!"

"It's really not good, let me get rid of the suspicion first!" Li Yun was so anxious that he almost crushed his phone, "Sijidao's stupid* came to ask me again just now, how should I reply to him?" The people of the joint camp have been evacuated! ”

At this time, Sijidao was triumphantly sitting on an off-road vehicle, following the army of mechanical people galloping across the wilderness.

He also participated in the operation of the encirclement and suppression of the joint camp, and was given a personal assignment by the system.

The task prizes are quite lucrative and eye-catching, and if you send out a screenshot of the prize, it is estimated that the rest of the players will be envious and jealous and hate to report it on the official website.

After learning the lessons of the previous few times, he did not post on the forum about the mission, intending to post again after success.

"This time it must be done."

Thinking like this, Sijidao asked Li Yun, who was undercover in the joint camp, by the way.

Li Yun's reply to him was always - everything is normal.

……

At the same time, the central area of the forest, swampy islets.

After Chang Rui disappeared, everyone was stunned and completely convinced.

A gust of wind blew, and the dead leaves flew away, and it was impossible to see that there was once a person there.

"He's ......"

Many of Shi Sishi's disciples looked dark, although they didn't want to believe it in their hearts, but the facts were already in front of them.

From the meeting at the Oasis camp to the current jungle center full of alien plants, the Commander of the North Wind has been right, but they are on the opposite side.

Thinking of the bits and pieces of living and studying with Chang Rui during this time, these disciples were silent.

After a while, they all faced Su Xia and performed the etiquette of Dragon City Academy to apologize.

This is a disciple salute, and it is usually done only to one's own teacher.

Behind, Ms. Liu Ye sighed: "I really didn't expect that even I didn't see any flaws in Chang Rui's young man, it was our mistake ...... at the beginning."

As she spoke, her face suddenly changed, and her heart sank.

At the beginning, in the Oasis camp, it was not only Chang Rui who was pointed out by Su Xia, but also two other guys - among them was the big golden retriever dog she raised!

She hurriedly asked, "Commander......"

"Yes."

Su Xia nodded, looking at her, knowing what she wanted to say.

When they met just now, everyone was talking and laughing, and Su Xia did not spoil the atmosphere, making them happy for a while.

After all, he came with bad news.

"The Cybbals have sent troops."

Su Xia looked around, said the news in a calm tone.

"What?"

The news was like a hammer slamming into everyone's hearts.

There was a dead silence around in an instant, no matter what the focus and discussion just now was, they were all left behind at this moment, and only Su Xia's words were left in everyone's minds.

It was as if they had forgotten to breathe, their chests tightened, and they were overwhelmed by the panic and uneasiness in their hearts.

Everyone was not afraid of fighting, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Everyone wasn't ready for the news.

Once the mechanical army is dispatched, it is almost certain to win, neither the human race nor the zerg can stop it, and only a piece of blood and gunpowder smoke is left everywhere it passes.

"Commander, is the news true?"

"The goal is the joint camp...... Or Dragon City? ”

"No, the timing is not right......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

They asked anxiously.

Except for Su Xia, the rest of the people present didn't know the news.

Long before the Machines sent out their troops, everyone had already entered this jungle, isolated from the world, and now they have only converged, and there is no channel of communication with the outside world.

Of course, Chang Rui also knew the news, after all, he was the one who led it, but he was already offline.

"The news is true, it's a joint camp." Su Xia said calmly, "The troops were dispatched around nine o'clock last night, and if nothing else, they will arrive at the outskirts of the camp tonight and will attack at midnight." ”

"How would the technologists know the location of the joint camp? Could it be ...... Changrui ......"

In an instant, everyone understood, thinking of the brief conversation between Su Xia and Chang Rui just now, even the most stupid person could connect through the front and back.

Shi Sishi was the first to understand, his lips trembled, and his face turned pale in an instant.

His undead disciple actually betrayed the location of the human camp!

"No ......"

Once the combined camp is breached, the combat and logistical members of the more than twenty rebel groups, as well as a large number of the old, weak, sick and disabled living in the camp, will all be reduced to ashes under the fire of the mechanical clans, just like the original North Wind organization.

The North Wind is just one organization, while the joint camp is more than twenty.

Such a devastating loss is deplorable just to think about.

When the time comes, Shi Sishi may actually be in the history booksβ€”but in the form of a negative textbook.

How will future generations feel when they read this story in a book and see his name?

It was precisely because of this thought that Shi Sishi's face was bloodless, and his whole heart was half cold.

What he wants is to leave a name in history, not to leave a stench for thousands of years!

How good is that?

"North Wind ......"

At this time, he looked at Su Xia, the opponent he hated in the past, who had become his only hope.

Shi Sishi also understood that since Su Xia had received the news and was still acting so calm, there must be a way to deal with it.

After all, he is the commander of the north wind.

"Commander, does the camp know about this?" Lulong asked anxiously, he wanted to grow wings now and fly to the joint camp to inform his relatives and friends there.

"Commander ......"

The rest of the people also looked at Su Xia with expectant eyes, although there were already countless uneasiness welling up in their hearts, but it was this legendary commander who brought them news after all.

He is the one who can defeat An Lan, and with him, he will definitely be fine.

"Rest assured, the camp should have been almost evacuated." Su Xia's tone was calm, gently suppressing everyone's anxiety, and his calm look also gave the rest of the people a little more hope.

"Last night, after the Cybrons sent their troops, I had them informed."

"Commander, my dog ......"

Ms. Liu Ye opened her mouth, hesitated, but still couldn't help but ask.

Su Xia nodded and said, "It's already locked up, locked up with Li Yun." ”

"Is it really not it anymore?"

"Well, for the specific situation, you can ask Lu Ba when you go back."

"Where are they going to retreat, is it too late?" Lu Long also continued to ask, out of a high-level traitor like Li Yun, the escape route planned before would not be used, and a new path must be planned in a very short time.

One wrong step, one wrong step, and now the whole camp is in danger of annihilation.

"Don't worry, there's a point tavern to help." Susha replied.

"Isn't the Zero Tavern going to meddle in this kind of thing?" Lu Long was stunned, "They keep saying that they are a permanent neutral organization. ”

"Flexible and neutral."

"This ......"

In fact, Su Xia didn't expect that the branch of the Zero Point Tavern would assist in the evacuation so simply.

He originally planned to let Yin Yi move more.

With the help of this behemoth, let alone a camp, even the entire Dragon City can be broken into pieces and scattered into the entire Great Southwest Mountain in a very short time.

Zero Tavern has branches all over the world, even in the mountains and forests that are rarely visited, so there is no need to worry.

"The cyborgs are making a lot of dangerous attempts, and the recent contact with the Zero Tavern has become more and more domineering, which may have caused dissatisfaction among the tavern higher-ups." Su Xia was thoughtful.

"Commander, what's next?"

Everyone in the joint camp looked at Su Xia with a dazed panic, and unconsciously regarded him as the backbone.

The camp was withdrawn, and they could not return.

"When this is over, follow me back to the Oasis camp, and I'll tell you all the news as soon as possible." Su Xia looked at them and said.

"Okay."

Next, we can only take one step at a time.

In comparison, the people from Dragon City were calmer, after all, their base camp was quite stable, and they were still safe.

The old dean, Wang Luo and the others were secretly frightened, and even they had cut off contact with the outside, but Su Xia could still receive the news, and even the mechanical clan knew about sending troops.

You know, this kind of news has always been very secretive.

The cyborgs like to attack in the middle of the night, march stealthily, and with every action, even the many mechanical creatures inside the mechs are unclear.

And Su Xia actually learned the news as soon as the mechanical clan sent troops last night, and told the joint camp almost simultaneously.

With this in mind, they began to take a fresh look at the young commander - powerful, powerful, well-connected, and perhaps even planted his own undercover agent within the Automaton.

Dragon City has worked hard for so many years, but he has not been able to get his undercover agent into the core layer of the mechanical clan.

This commander of the north wind, who can make a name for himself in the wilderness, is really not a simple person, even in Dragon City, there are few people who can compare.

The old dean extended another invitation to Su Xia: "When the matter here is over, you must come to Dragon City to have a look, there are a lot of materials in the academy, you will definitely be interested." ”

"Okay, I'll come when I'm free!" Su Xia agreed for the time being.

"And don't forget the Institute." Wang Luo hurriedly said, "There are some strange things, you will definitely like them." ”

"No problem!"

Going to Dragon City is something that Su Xia has always wanted to do since he entered the game.

It's just that there are too many things now, even if the matter of the mechanical clan sending troops is solved, he still has to deal with the problems of the pharmacy and Yin Mo.

Next, led by him and Hal, the group heads to another island, which is on the right, and the island is overgrown with bushes and black trunks, with a slightly eerie tone.

The trees in this vicinity, named "Face Trees", are described in detail in the Encyclopedia of Stars.

The tree is blackened, as if it had been burned by fire, with few leaves, and its main trunk is usually a natural form of a human face with black branches twisted and distorted like thin arms.

"This is it."

In the center of the island is an area covered by dead leaves and a large net.

Below this area, there is a huge entrance and exit diagonally downward, not an ordinary hatch, but a passage for the cargo of the spacecraft to enter and exit in the past.

"Whoa!"

With a hard pull, Hal tore open the camouflaged net, and the dead branches and leaves on the net were lifted to the ground, revealing a corner of the entrance.

It's still a silver-gray passage, full of metal, and when you look inside, it's dark, and you can't see the deepest part of it.

Diagonally above the entrance, there is an oval slot.

Hal put his mechanical finger in it and turned it slightly.

"Humβ€”"

The passage suddenly lit up with one dark red light after another.

This is an emergency light, Hal himself can't use it, he has a complete imaging system, and the lights are turned on just to take care of the ordinary people in the back.

Hal was the first to enter, sliding in with a slight leap.

Su Xia jumped in after him, the silver-gray passage was smooth, like a slide, sliding all the way down, and it took a moment to reach the huge cargo hold in the deepest part.

Here, there are still a large number of goods on the spaceship of the year, mostly some daily necessities, but also some special goods and currency.

When exploring remote star fields, civilized planets are often discovered, and occasional trades are required.

The scientists of the empire discovered that the favorite trading items of these civilized planets were nothing more than special metals, gems, porcelain, etc., which looked shiny, so they carried these as currency every time they set out.

"Smack!"

Hal stepped aside, flicked the switch, and the entire cargo hold lit up.

Su Xia was stunned, and his eyes were instantly attracted by a huge biological skeleton.

The skeleton of the creature was yellowish throughout, more than thirty meters long, the bones were arranged one by one, and the body was curved, like a giant snake, but it also had limbs, like a legendary dragon.

"This is brought back from a living planet, and it is more similar to the dragon in some civilization mythology, in fact, it is just a big snake with hands and feet." Hal explains: "After the ship crashed, the skeleton box was also in tatters, and bones were all over the ground...... Over the years, I've spliced it together when I'm idle. ”

At this time, Sun Lang also slipped to the bottom, and before he could stand up, his eyes widened.

"Huo, this is a dragon?!"

"No, you can think so, there are similar creatures on many planets anyway."

"Can you fly?"

"I can't." Hal was straightforward.

"It's spectacular!" Wang Luo, who followed closely, exclaimed, this is the skeleton of a real alien creature, "I didn't expect that I would be able to see this kind of creature in my lifetime." ”

"Let's take a trip to the stars, there are so many of them."

Hal crawlers rolled, slowly moving forward, controlling the robotic arm in the warehouse, and opening a few large containers at random.

The contents of the cargo box are all unheard of.

Some strange gems, special crystals, and some strange biological bones are estimated to sell for unimaginable prices if they are put up for auction in the outside world.

"Natives, never limit your sights to your own planet." Hal patted the big box, "Just go to those prosperous civilization star fields and take a look, and you will understand that your so-called struggle for survival and resources is just a joke." ”

War is not the eternal theme, exploration and development are.
