Chapter 225: Flood Wilderness, You Really Damn You!
It's finally chapter six.
Seeing the line of titles that appeared in the picture, Ouyang Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The chapter switch at least shows that the previous things have passed for the time being, and there is no need to run for your life everywhere.
"Okay, anyway, let's go and save people first."
She hadn't forgotten the action to save John, and went straight to Chapter 6.
At the beginning, it was a dream-like scene.
An elk stands by the river drinking water, not knowing what it portends.
Then the screen flashes, and the protagonist Arthur wakes up from his bed.
After coughing violently, he came to the camp.
"How do I feel like he's lost a lot of weight? Is it a delusion? β
Suddenly, Ouyang Xiao noticed something and stared at Arthur's back suspiciously.
Compared with the previous sturdy young man, it seems that he has indeed lost a lot of weight, I don't know if he has been running too much recently and overdrafted his body.
The state of the character changes with the things he experiences, and even the beard has changed over time, and I have to say that Hong Huang is still very good at details.
And at this time.
There are also signs of conflict in the team.
As soon as I walked over, I found that someone was arguing with Aunt Susan, calling her a murderer.
said that Molly was just drunk and crazy last night, because she loved Wizards too much and said nonsense, but she didn't give any chance to justify and kill her.
The atmosphere in the whole camp was very depressing, and the people were discouraged.
The harmonious atmosphere of the past is no longer there.
Attentive viewers even found that many of the functions of the camp were gone, and even the boxes that saved money together were smashed open.
And there are a few fewer people than before, I don't know if it's an outing or other reasons.
Only the chef is still diligently cooking for them.
Maybe that's all he can do now.
Ouyang Xiao walked around the dilapidated camp, saw that there was nothing, and rode to the town where the prison was located, ready to meet with the widow Sadie to discuss saving people.
"Actually, it's good to disperse, you don't have to follow them all day long like this, and give them your life." Ouyang Xiao said to the camera.
She doesn't want anything rich and expensive now, she just wants to get out smoothly.
I also began to imagine the idyllic picture of leaving the gang and going to a place where no one knew and living freely.
If that's the way it ends, it's not bad.
is also the ending that the audience wants to see the most at this time.
Thinking of this, she hastened to the city and ran on a muddy avenue.
But at this time.
In the upper left corner of the screen, an event prompt suddenly appeared.
γA fork in the road of lifeγ
"A fork in the road? What do you mean? β
Ouyang Xiao froze for a moment, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
Sure enough.
As the incident unfolded, Arthur slowly stopped his horse and began to cough violently, worse than any before.
"It's over, shouldn't your body collapse?"
"I guess it's so, the body is so overdrawn during this time."
"Well, I'll just say don't sell your life."
"This cough sounds really heart-wrenching."
"It's also possible that something will trigger the plot."
"I guess it's a bad cold or something, and then I miss the rescue."
The audience was talking, and the barrage kept drifting by.
It's a good game anywhere, it's just too real.
Some people said before that such a general person would drag down his body sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come true.
I don't know how much money I have to be taken away by the hospital this time.
"Something is wrong, why is the cough getting worse and worse?"
Suddenly, Ouyang Xiao became suspicious.
I saw that Arthur in the picture didn't seem to be just an ordinary cough, but the more he coughed, the worse he became.
In the end, he collapsed on the side of the road, coughing up blood, and the whole screen began to turn red.
"! Don't do it. β
"You can't GG, right?"
"What's this unfolding?"
Once again, everyone was stunned, caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
The uneasiness in Ouyang Xiao's heart was also quickly amplified.
Finally.
Under the guidance of the well-wishers, enter the nearby hospital.
It wasn't until the doctor's office that the blood-colored picture returned to normal.
Arthur sat haggard in his chair, his voice a little hoarse, and his face was frighteningly pale, almost like a zombie.
[Arthur: "How's it going?"] βγ
[Doctor: "Not good news.] βγ
[Arthur: "I guess so.] βγ
[Doctor: "You have tuberculosis. I really feel sorry for you, kid, this disease is very scary. βγ
Pulmonary tuberculosis!
The audience who heard this sentence couldn't help but change their faces.
The barrage has decreased a lot.
"What's wrong, what's wrong? Isn't this disease curable? β
Ouyang Xiao hurriedly asked, a little puzzled and anxious.
"Yes, it can be cured now."
"But in the days of Westworld, it seems that there was no penicillin, and it would be at least 40 years before it appeared."
"So. This is equivalent to a terminal illness! β
In the live broadcast room, a medical student said the mystery in one sentence.
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
They had thought of many possibilities, but they never thought that it would unfold like this, and so suddenly!
Looking at Arthur like this, I am afraid that he is already terminally ill and not far from death.
"How so."
Ouyang Xiao's gaze fell back on the picture again, the haggard figure who had left the hospital.
Even the surrounding pictures have turned bright yellow, and all pedestrians and vehicles have disappeared, as if walking in the underworld.
As if returning to the light, familiar voices began to sound in my ears.
We can't change what has happened, we can only move on. γ
γYou are a good person. I can see that. γ
[He didn't have a choice, he was a good man. A lot of good things have been done. γ
[If you don't want to help me, I understand, but. But I think of you often. γ
With these sounds, the elk, which had appeared in his dreams before, appeared in front of him again, running through the street.
It was only then that the picture finally recovered, and the streets were once again a scene of cars and people.
The expression full of artistic conception made the stunned audience also react.
"It's like, once I got seriously ill and thought I was going to die, and it was the same when I walked out of the hospital."
"It's true that there are a lot of people on the street, but all the senses are gone, and my mind is blank."
"When you look at the flood designer, you are dead."
βοΌοΌοΌβ
"Grass! The emotions that have just been brewing are lost by you. β
"Hahaha, I've died and come back to life, right?"
Happiness in suffering may be a rare way for people to comfort themselves.
Just like Arthur in the game, after learning that he was terminally ill, he didn't stay long and continued to rush to the tavern to meet his companions.
After a lot of twists and turns, I experienced several shootouts.
Finally infiltrated the prison and managed to rescue John.
However.
Just as they expected.
After returning to the camp, Ducky was not happy, but felt that their unauthorized actions had attracted the guards, and the conflict was further intensified.
It also led to a gradual change in Arthur's thinking.
In the subsequent escape plan, he acted according to the plan to find an escape opportunity, and at the same time found the mother and son who were in the dust because of his debt collection for the first time.
Give them the money they have and let them go to a new place and start their lives again.
Later, in the process of collecting medicine with his companions, he also talked about his thoughts.
Arthur: "I don't know how long I can live, but some of them, they still have a chance to live well, I'm just thinking. As long as I can get them a chance, maybe it won't be in vain. βγ
"I see?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Xiao finally understood why Arthur had not spoken or left.
It turned out that he still couldn't let go of the members of the gang and wanted to fight for them a good life before he died.
"Salvation, so it is."
"Is that what the subtitle of the game really means?"
"If you make money, you go to live in a place that no one knows, and it doesn't exist at all."
"Alas, it should have been guessed a long time ago."
Arthur's abnormal actions, the audience sighed, and their expressions were complicated.
It is said that people will be enlightened before they die, and no matter how heinous their sins are, they will also have thoughts of repentance.
Maybe that's what Arthur was feeling at this time.
And the only thing they can do as players is to accompany their friend in this game through the last journey of his life.
Accompany this game character who has brought joy, excitement and emotion to himself, and fulfill the rest of his long-cherished wishes.
"Well, I'll have to finish this journey anyway."
So far.
Ouyang Xiao didn't say anything more, concentrating on promoting the plot.
In the operation, he persuaded John to take his wife and children away and fly away.
I found that someone in the camp secretly left with a salute, and pretended not to see it and asked him to leave quickly.
When I went to the station to run errands, I found that the priest who had also escaped from the team just went up to let the other party take care.
Throughout the process, Arthur's cough became more frequent and severe, and he seemed to be worried.
He saved many people, but he couldn't save himself.
The other side.
Applejack's live broadcast room.
At the train station, I met not the pastor of the team, but an old nun who had helped the branch line before.
After a long time of not seeing each other, the two sat on the bench next to them and caught up, and Arthur did not shy away from talking about his illness, looking indifferent.
Arthur: "I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, nun. βγ
Nun: "Everybody makes mistakes, Mr. Morgan, but I know you, and you don't know yourself.] βγ
Arthur: "What does that mean?" βγ
Nun: "I don't know, but whenever I meet you, you're helping others, you're smiling.] βγ
The two sat in their chairs like this, talking about the past and telling their philosophy of life like old friends.
Arthur didn't explain why he was the way he was, but talked about his own experience.
He used to have a son, but he is dead.
There was a girl who loved him, but he didn't care.
When he was very young, his mother left him early.
Later, my father also died, but I felt that I didn't die early enough.
In just a few words, he told all about his tragic past, and regarded the nun as the object of confiding.
The originally breezy expression gradually fluctuated, and his eyes were slightly red.
The nun spoke deep words and whispered comfort.
Arthur: "What you're saying is too profound for me, nun. βγ
At the end, Arthur smiled and leaned back in his chair, tilting his head and exhaling a cloudy breath.
But gradually, his smile disappeared and his mouth trembled slightly.
Arthur: "I think I'm scared. βγ
Suddenly she turned her head to look at the nun, her mouth closed, and her red eyes were filled with fear that she had never seen before.
It was the fear of death, the fear of the future.
The expression of crying out fully showed his most vulnerable side at this time.
It turns out that he is not as strong as he seems, and he is also afraid of death, just like them, just an ordinary person.
"He's really scared."
"This look breaks people's hearts."
"Just this look at him, I really feel distressed to death."
"Arthur, who has been strong all his life, said this, and he is so scared now."
"This is the first time Arthur has said he was afraid."
"I'm so helpless, I really want to go up and give him a hug."
"Grass! Break the big defense! β
"You really deserve to die!"
In an instant, the barrage in the entire live broadcast room exploded.
They've never seen a game that portrays a person's journey to such an extent.
It's so real, and it's so shocking.
When Arthur turned his head and said that he was very scared, some people even broke the defense directly, and tears gushed out uncontrollably.
This moment.
Arthur is no longer the tough guy they see as a tough guy, but a helpless child.
It's as if a living person is standing in front of them, and it's no longer as simple as a game character.
