As soon as the pirate's voice fell, each player received a mission reminder.

Prologue: Divergence

Main Quest: Life and Death

Objective: Maximize your survival time.

Quest Reward: Determine the score value and final reward based on the player's behavior, as well as the actual survival time.

Tao Leping basically doesn't play games, and naturally he doesn't understand it, and this kind of uncertain task is actually not common.

Many of the players frowned in thought—but the pirates clearly didn't want to give them time to deliberate.

All were driven off the ship. They were unarmed, and they weren't taken seriously by the pirates, so there was no one to restrain them.

Tao Le's ears were excellent, and as he stepped out of the cabin, he heard two rapid gasps in the cabinet under the bar.

These are supposed to be two very smart players who hid in it long before the mission was released, thinking that they could live long enough.

Tao Le naturally will not poke them out.

Xia Huangquan walked beside her. His back is straight, his steps are steady, and he does have the shadow of a soldier on his body.

Compared with him, the two people who chatted all the way behind her, Guanhailou and Heijin, were not the same as she imagined.

Guanhailou is quite tall, with a dignified face full of righteousness, while Heijin is black and thin, with a pair of small eyes full of fine light.

If he hadn't listened to their conversation, Tao Le would definitely have thought that among the two of them, the person in charge was Guanhailou.

They were ushered into a large, cinema-like hall.

The burly pirate stepped forward, "Dear Lambs, I am the mentor who will bring you back to the Sea of Stars, Edmund. ”

"First of all, we have to follow the old practice and enjoy the brilliant fireworks, and hope that it will become the last and best memory of your life."

The hall suddenly went dark, and Edmund stepped aside. In the middle of the big screen, the lookout they were riding on appeared.

It was not left in the ship, but was thrown out again.

The camera advances into the interior of the ship, where five or six players are in the cockpit, seemingly figuring out how to activate it.

The two of them were probably the ones who had just hid under the second-class bar.

"Look at these self-proclaimed wise lambs. Do they think they can live freely after avoiding the wolves? ”

Edmund's words were full of banter.

The next moment, the camera zooms in again to the distance. In everyone's eyes, the K-class ship closest to the Lookout emitted a dazzling white light from its main guns in front.

"Don't!" With the exclamations of several players, the energy bomb hit the Lookout directly.

The silver-gray hull only shook for a moment, and then in the deep space, it turned into a brilliant white flame.

The lights came on, and the pirate Edmund took the lead in applauding.

"What a beautiful fire! You love it as much as I do, right? ”

Among the players, there was a sparse applause.

Xia Huangquan patted Tao Le lightly, and then applauded gently.

Tao Le understood and clapped his hands with him.

The black and gold behind them moved, and they also pulled Guanhailou to do the same.

"Thank you, thank you." Edmund bowed gracefully: "I like people who know the times. This will buy you time to survive. ”

As soon as his words fell, someone rushed in and took out the people who had not responded and applauded, as well as the two women who had made exclamations.

"Today's sacrifice is enough." Edmund looked back at the rest of the people, "Rest well, we'll see you tomorrow." ”

The door closed tightly. Tao Le swept the hall, and there were one hundred and forty-five people left.

Including the flight attendants, the five hundred and seven prisoners in this hall just now are not even a third of them at this time.

Heijin pulled Guanhailou and came to the two of them: "Hello, the two of us want to follow you, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Xia Huangquan glanced at Tao Le, and saw that she didn't mean to object, so he nodded: "Yes." But I don't promise that you'll make it to the end. ”

"It's okay." Heijin immediately expressed his attitude: "We all listen to you, eldest brother, even if you ask us to go up first, we are willing." ”

Among those who remained, many of them had spontaneously connected in series, and soon formed a certain scale.

The leader led the way to them, with a few people.

Although his face is young, judging from his appearance and posture, he has a bit of a superior taste.

"The current situation is very clear to everyone. We must unite and keep warm in order to survive. His words are very convincing:

"Let's come together, let's brainstorm, it's not who cares about whom."

Huang Quan shook his head: "Good intentions." I'm not going to go. ”

He looked at Tao Le, as if to see how she chose.

Since he got to know Xia Huangquan and went through a few small things on the spaceship, Tao Le was inexplicably a little relieved about him.

Needless to say, he helped her expel the villain before, and in such an emergency situation, he could still think of fastening the seat belt for the female guest next to him first.

This man, who is both a gentleman and a responsible person, is much better than a large group of people he does not know.

"I'm not going either." Tao Le refused.

"We can" Guanhailou was halfway through speaking, and his mouth was covered by Hei Jin's hand.

"We don't like to get together. There are so many of you, and there are not a few of us. ”

The leader didn't say a word more, and turned directly to the other people who were alone.

"I don't know what to do." Tao Le heard the man behind him muttering.

"Leave them alone, it's always going to die anyway, it's best to let them go."

"That's it."

Guanhailou's face was not good-looking: "Brother Xiaohei, what are you pulling me for?" There are a lot of them."

"You idiot! Little black brother, I'm saving you, do you understand? ”

"That's right, big brother." Heijin asked Huang Quan directly: "Should we also analyze the next strategy?" ”

"Huh?" Xia Huangquan glanced at him: "Tell me, what do you think?" ”

"That's what I thought. In this task, the goal and completion conditions seem vague, but in fact, it also leaves us a breakthrough. ”

"I remember that Xu Xian, the captain of the Lookout, mentioned that the Stone Pirate Regiment rarely survives."

"Rarely means, not absolutely."

"Then the question is, what kind of conditions can make them open the net?"

Heijin said very seriously, observing Xia Huangquan's expression from time to time.

His intuition has always been very accurate, and he inexplicably feels that it is always right to follow him.

"My suggestion is to go to pirates. This task should have an upper limit on the duration, but I don't know how long it is. ”

When he said this, Guanhailou also suddenly realized: "If your guess is correct, Brother Xiaohei, then when the time runs out, or if the other players have become sacrifices and died, then we will naturally become the final winners." ”

"That's true." Heijin smiled: "I just don't know how to make this wish reasonable and make them accept us." ”

After the opinion was spoken, Xia Huangquan was noncommittal, and even his expression did not move.

There seemed to be an invisible aura on his body, which made Heijin and Guanhailou inexplicably a little apprehensive.

Although Tao Le had never played a game, he felt that it was not a good idea to join the pirates.

She looked at Xia Huangquan, but she didn't expect the other party to also look at her:

"Starfire, what do you think?"

"That's my opinion. No. Tao Le said.
