Section 8: Teamwork
"Wait, didn't you say that before...... Are you sure you want to talk about it here? Zhan Lan tried to stop it at the first time, and she still remembered Jiang Yu's warning not long ago.
But Jiang Yu had expected this.
"I'm sure. Because now it's safe here. Even if I just say the word 'bonus points'......"
He paused, and sure enough, there was no reminder of the leak of points.
ββ¦β¦ There will also be no penalty point warning. β
I see,A classic operation that is occasionally seen in the infinite flow of the same people.γ The main god card anti-indigenous eavesdropping device, down to the savages, up to the immortals, those who have seen it can't stand it.
"And this usage?" Zhang Jie looked frightened, he had indeed warned the newcomers of the Lord God's secrecy request in the gap before. In the original book, Li Xiaoyi was also accidentally said the word 'reward point' and was heard by the mercenaries, so he ended up deducting 10 reward points.
And now, Jiang Yu has replaced Li Xiaoyi. As long as the situation is appropriate, Jiang Yu doesn't mind substituting some important words that Li Xiaoyi has said.
This may be some kind of cosplay, a manifestation of classical feelings. Anyway, they have already traveled to such a classical place, so it is really a waste of time not to reproduce the roll call scene.
So he took a light breath.
"I got a side quest." Jiang Yu said, when he was speaking, his gaze naturally swept in the direction where Zheng Zhe was.
As he expected, although Zheng Zhe's body did not shake significantly, the expression on his face twisted slightly.
Zheng Zhe succeeded, there is no doubt about it - but Zheng Zhe should have intended to share this information after his return. Maybe it's because you can't think of it for a while, or maybe it's because you haven't determined who is real and credible, so you have a subconscious vigilance in your heart.
But Jiang Yu is different from him, Jiang Yu knows that among the four people present other than him, three of them are trustworthy. And Mu Gang, the only one with unknown details, could not make things impossible to end under Zhang Jie's nose.
"Side quests?" Zhan Lan's eyes widened slightly, under normal circumstances, the IQ in this team should be regarded as her highest. And she immediately noticed the black watch on her wrist. "Is it similar to our main quest? What are the other requirements that need to be fulfilled beyond the three hours of survival? β
"Yes," Jiang Yu nodded, "but it should be optional, the type that needs to be triggered." I was left here, probably because I accidentally touched a switch and triggered this branch. And that's why I had to face the challenge of playing with a licker. β
He paused and began to talk about his experience at Restaurant B and his conjectures about the challenge of fate. After removing the part of the speculation about Zhang Jie, he told everyone the whole picture of the side plot.
Everyone looked at him, and gradually turned from amazement to admiration.
And at the end of the story, he shows off his reincarnation watch. The main god's briefing on the completion of the mission is impressive.
"So, that's it. I got a C-level spur plus 2,000 bonus points. And although I don't know what this side plot can do. But ......"
"It is able to exchange for powerful special items. Bloodline, superpowers, it's like Spider-Man. Zhang Jie suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped him heavily on the shoulder. Okay, you kid, brother, I've lived three worlds, and I've never seen what this thing looks like in the side plot, and I thought that the Lord God put some gods and ghosts to fool people. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......"
He shot quite hard, and Jiang Yu couldn't help grinning in pain.
And Zhan Lan also interjected.
"Brother Zhang Jie didn't trigger the branch, it's a good thing. As Mr. Jiang just said, as long as you try to trigger the side quest, you will definitely encounter a difficult fate challenge. Confronting a licker or something...... I think I'm going to be so scared that I can't move. β
Zhang Jie laughed twice. But Jiang Yu couldn't help but complain.
"If you don't move, they won't find you...... And, Mr. Jiang or something, am I so old-fashioned? β
"But I can't call you Brother Jiang." Zhan Lan tilted his head and looked at him, looking eccentric. "I'm obviously a few years older than you, if I don't call you big brother, do I call you brother? Brother Jiang, Little Brother Jiang, Little Brother Jiang? Would you like that call? β
"Jiang Yu, just say Jiang Yu directly!"
(Fuck, why is this woman jumping like that?) οΌ
(You deserve to be so beautiful, but you can't post Zheng Zha, even if it's a fandom infinite protagonist born specifically for the sake of the sister, few people want you!) οΌ
Jiang Yu was annoyed in his heart. He really doesn't like to be called a little brother or something, of course, more importantly, he rarely pretends to be forced into a state, but he is interrupted by this set of combination punches.
(Well, I don't have the same knowledge as your QICQ...... Belch...... Wait, isn't my EQ a bit low? Did she see that Zhang Jie seemed to be a little angry, so she specially opened her mouth to relieve me...... οΌ
The thought in my mind was that the low EQ and high IQ that college science and engineering men generally held were working at the same time at this moment. He figured out the cause and effect, but he didn't know what to do for a while. I had to squeeze out a little smile in embarrassment and stop talking.
(Well, Sister Zhan, I was wrong.) It's not right for me to scold you in my heart, and I will definitely find an opportunity to make amends in the future...... οΌ
Inner turmoil.
Zhan Lan just smiled and stopped talking. The communication between social people is very different from that of college students in ivory towers. While she was shutting up, Zheng Zha tacitly followed her previous words.
"But the challenge of fate is really hard...... Remember when I saved the mercenary captain in the laser tunnel? I don't even know how I managed to dodge the first two lasers. And the third course, if I hadn't suddenly remembered the plot of the movie, it would have probably become a piece by piece. Zheng Zha recounted his experience, his tone full of fear. At the end, he also showed his watch like Jiang Yu. B-level resource income is impressive.
Zhang Jie opened his mouth, as if he was frightened. It was a few seconds before he slapped his thigh hard and sighed.
"Damn, it's a loss. I knew that I would go in with you and rub this side plot into a copy. It's just two lasers, and it's not too difficult for me...... Loss, loss. β
"I'm getting older, and I'm getting more and more forward-looking." He shook his head again and again, sighing as he thought about it. "It's hopeless, it's behind the times. , it's the first time I've seen an outrageous newcomer like you. Looks like I'm going to mess with you in the future. β
"Isn't it a last resort?" Zheng Zha waved his hand again and again, with a wry smile on his face. "Rather than licking the blood from the knife, I would rather live in peace. Brother Zhang Jie, your way of doing things is the way to get by. We can't go long......"
"Where, Where, ......"
The two praised each other a few words, and the communication of social people was boring and foul-smelling but necessary. Soon, under the deliberate guidance of Zheng Zha's words, the reincarnation five-person group finally had some communication with each other, understood, and roughly knew their temperaments, which was the initial appearance of a team.
The ability of elite white-collar workers to eat is well deserved. Zheng Zhe, the director of the office, is really not casual.
Even if there is no gain, there is no action. Mu Gang, who is completely in the image of an old scalper, was also pulled into the topic circle such as what magical things are in the main god exchange and talked about it well, although Jiang Yu couldn't see how effective it was, but at least, Mu Gang did not resist talking to other people.
The mercenaries are still on the move. One after another, lickers sealed in freezers were killed without resistance. If you are a reincarnation who has experienced team battles, then you should know that this is actually the most basic operation of 'potential', allowing the plot characters to change the plot by themselves, there is no benefit, but there is no need to bear any price.
Jiang Yu pinched the gun in his hand and looked around, looking for a guy who could be used for melee combat - he was confident in his marksmanship, but not much. So you still need a melee weapon as a safeguard.
"Are you looking for something? Jiang Yu. Zheng Zha was the first to notice his strangeness.
"A melee weapon is needed." Jiang Yu explained: "When I dealt with the licker earlier, I once reminded a mercenary who would have accidentally been infected to be safe. Now it's possible that this has become my side quest challenge. And if I'm right, I'm likely to be attacked by an infected creature at some particular point in time...... I've already vaccinated myself, so I'm not afraid of turning into a zombie. But I'm going to get bitten to death, so I'll have to get some melee weapons. β
Melee defense, very reasonable. Some, however, think about something more important.
"Then I think, instead of preparing a melee weapon. A neck guard to protect against bites may be better. A flash of light flashed through Zhan Lan's brain. Didn't you say that the main god could repair the injury, since Jiang Yu, you have already been vaccinated. Then what you need to guard against is to be bitten by zombies and cut the carotid artery like in the game. If there's some leather or something, you can disguise it as the shoulder pad on your back and just cover your neck. That way, at least you don't have to worry about dying because of a surprise attack. β
It makes sense, Jiang Yu really didn't expect it for a whileβnot that he didn't think of preparing armor, but that he didn't think that he could disguise it as a shoulder pad and equip it reasonably.
"I have a leather jacket." Zheng Zha didn't say a word, and took off the leather jacket on his body. He was just about to tear the coat hard, and Zhang Jie handed over a military knife.
"With this, cut from here." Zhang Jie pointed out a line. "This can be made into two, Zhan Lan is a girl, and it may be too late to react when she encounters a sudden attack. And it's so cold here, it's perfectly normal for you to wear a scarf. β
"It's worthy of Brother Jie, old Jianghu." Zheng Zha exclaimed, cut it according to his instructions, and then Zhan Lan started to weave. Soon two rough but heavy neck armor were made by her, and at this moment, Mu Gang, who didn't know when to walk away silently, returned to the place where the group was.
"This can be used as a weapon." He said in a sullen voice, pointing to the side. It was a large railing that had been used to protect the freezer before it was blown open - and now it had been shaken loose by the explosion.
"Steel pipes? It's a bit difficult to cut with a knife. Zhang Jie frowned. However, at the next moment, Mu Gang, who had obtained permission, strode over, grabbed it with both hands, the muscles on his thick arms were raised, and his square face was flushed, and with a crisp cracking sound, a steel pipe on this railing was unscrewed by him with brute force!
As a truck driver who often needs to work part-time to unload goods, this is really unusual. And after that, he continued to exert force, and after a while, a total of five steel pipes, including Zhang Jie's, were held in his hands.
In the reincarnation newcomer, there is no waste. There will always be someone who has a skill that the current world desperately needs - Jiang Yu re-understood this truth at this moment. And at this moment, he experienced first-hand what the power of teamwork is.
