Chapter 790 'No one understands A Guang better than me'
On the coast of death, on the floating dock paved with steel plates, a group of construction workers wearing work clothes were coming ashore one after another with shovels and tool boxes.
They were soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force and had been stationed at Youtiao Port.
Although the alliance would occasionally take them out for target practice, it was obvious that the players had no intention of throwing them on the front line from the beginning.
And thank God that's the case.
When they walked to the shore, many people vomited on the spot, their faces turned pale, and their hands and feet became numb.
The reason was naturally seasickness, but half of it was also due to the tragic situation on the beach.
I saw swollen and mutilated corpses scattered randomly on the beach, some blue, green, and human. Although the corpses in the trenches had been moved away by the players, some died after the mutants in the sea.
They were washed up on the beach one after another by the waves.
Not just corpses, but also alien species wandering over based on the smell.
Some outrageously large sea crabs were the first to smell the rotten smell, and they gnawed on the corpses, devouring the buffet.
Everyone swallowed their saliva and stomach acid, and moved their stiff legs to the shore.
However, at this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the shore.
"boom--!"
The sudden sound of gunshots startled everyone, and the muscle memory formed by training made them lie down subconsciously until they saw a blue jacket wearing an exoskeleton coming towards them.
"Don't be nervous, it's me."
Carrying a shotgun, he walked to the dock, waved his hand with a hesitant smile, and then pointed to the row of floating docks under everyone's feet not far away.
I saw a mutated sea crab that was more than one meter tall lying in the waterlogged sand pit, with half of its head completely shattered by a shotgun bullet.
Because the color of the carapace was so similar to the beach, everyone who was focused on the corpses on the shore didn't notice it.
Looking at these frightened soldiers of the expeditionary force, he said with a wasted smile.
"Watch your feet. The pliers on this thing are very powerful. It only takes one click to break your legs... We have already spent enough money on you, and we don't want to help you install another prosthetic leg."
Seeing that no one was talking, I stopped talking nonsense after half a year of wasted time and went straight to the point.
"Your mission is very simple, which is to clean up the bodies on the beach, drag them together to a place about five kilometers away from the coastline, and then burn them with the fuel we provide you..."
"The military power of the Torch Church in the nearby area has been destroyed by us, so there should be no danger. Of course, I can only say that it should be. After all, anything can happen on the battlefield. You have to keep your eyes open and be prepared.
Be prepared for any possible danger."
"This is the situation. If you have any questions, it's best to ask them now. If you don't have any questions, you can start working."
After saying these words, I waited for a while, and when I saw no one said anything, I was about to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, a young man raised his hand fearfully.
"I have a question."
His voice was timid, as was the case with most Rat Tribe people when communicating with them.
Even though he was half a year old, he didn't care and waved his right hand.
"Then ask quickly."
The young man swallowed his saliva and spoke quickly.
"Why not just let those crabs eat them..."
In his opinion, there is no need to worry about these things. The crabs can be eaten cleanly by just leaving them alone.
Hearing this whimsical idea, Half Year Old laughed out loud and said in a teasing tone.
"When you feed them enough, how many do you think their number will be?"
Why do these NPCs look more like NPCs than me?
After saying that, he was about to turn around, but the young man whispered again.
"What if we get it farther away from the pier? Dig a puddle there and bury the body... maybe we can also lure the mutated sea crabs here."
It wasn't that he thought it was troublesome to move the corpse, but he mainly thought that the crabs were edible and it would be a pity to drive them away.
When they first arrived at Youtiao Port, they picked up the crabs that had been beaten to death by the Alliance soldiers and grilled them with the Alliance soldiers.
Hearing this, Half Year Old Wasted glanced at the young man in surprise.
Good guy.
Are the NPCs in this game so real?!
But having said that, it was a good idea after he thought about it carefully in his head.
Of course, the main reason was that he also wanted to improve the food, so he walked up with a smile and patted the young man on the shoulder.
"Brother, what's your name?"
The young man said tremblingly.
"Dan..."
"Then I'll call you Adan, haha, the future crab tycoon Adan."
As he said this, he wasted no time and threw a bunch of keys with license plate tags into his hand. Then he thought of something and pushed the thing in his hand over, and continued with a smile.
"You've got the truck, and you've got these guys at your disposal...and this shotgun and the walkie-talkie. I want your crab farm to be at least five kilometers away from here, and if you're attacked, call us."
The young man named Dan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with ecstasy.
"Don't worry, sir, leave it to me. I will make sure you are satisfied!"
From the smile on the face of the Alliance soldier, he seemed to see an opportunity to change his destiny!
If this thing is done well, maybe I can stay...
The half-year-old didn't care at all, he smiled and made a "go get busy" gesture, and then walked back to the shore.
Standing on the shore and waiting, I saw him approaching and asked.
"Is it okay to do this?"
Half a year old said with a wasted smile.
"What's the problem? It's good to use the mutant's body waste. Don't be so serious, haha."
Maybe when the war is over, this mutated sea crab will become a local specialty.
Seeing his playful smile, Yi Dengtian made a helpless expression.
"Fine."
He didn't think it mattered, as long as it didn't affect the delivery of supplies.
…
The dusk hanging in the sky gradually fell.
While the expeditionary forces from Youtiao Port were landing one after another, Duke Nihak, who was still living on the South China Sea Alliance fleet and refused to disembark, finally hesitantly came ashore after seeing General Li Minghui go ashore.
After all, he is also the grand duke of the empire, so he cannot be underestimated.
Not just that.
As the Grand Duke of the Empire, now that the expeditionary force has finally landed on the territory of the Torch Church, it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to express his feelings.
But what he didn't expect was that the situation on the shore was even more tragic than he imagined. The thick smell of blood did not dissipate even if the sea breeze blew for a whole day.
Standing on the undulating steel plate, Duke Nihak felt as if his nasal cavity was soaked in blood, and his calves could not help but feel weak.
Is this the front line...
His Adam's apple moved up and down, swallowing almost dry saliva, and his pupils showed uncontrollable fear.
Although he had seen the true strength of the alliance on the holographic screen, the death he saw through the screen was far less profound than what he felt at the moment.
These guys are not human beings...
Whether it's those lying on the beach or those camping on the shore...
They are all devils!
Pushing away the guard who came to help him, he moved towards the shore with stiff steps.
Not far away is the Alliance camp, with tents lined up on the edge of the beach, and lights on the sentry towers.
He had a glimmer of hope in his heart, expecting that the camp would be filled with wounded people, expecting that this battle would hurt both the Torch and the Alliance, and expecting that the Empire would stand on top of the world from now on. However, the moment he walked into the camp, all hope
All was in vain.
The soldiers sat on the ground where they had fought, and raised a bonfire where the enemy had fallen.
They didn't care about the bullet marks and blood stains on the ground at all, they just sat in front of the bonfire, even chatting and laughing, roasting meat and singing songs.
Not even just Union soldiers.
He saw with his own eyes that several soldiers from the expeditionary force were also sitting together with them. Among them, there were also people who knew musical instruments, impromptuly playing the piccolo of Borneo and beating drums made of animal skins and bones, giving the hoarse and majestic sound
accompanied by singing.
“…the gears of heaven fell into the furnace.”
"Boiling molten steel splashed from the furnace."
"The undying natural disasters will never stop."
"We will remake the realm of mortals!"
"..."
"The hound of chaos was decapitated."
"The flames of punishment are the destination of lies."
"If confounding right and wrong is the way to heaven..."
"Then let's turn it upside down first!"
He couldn't understand what those people were singing, but he felt that the blood flowing in his veins was surging with the melody.
A trace of fear suddenly arose in his heart, especially when he saw the soldiers of the expeditionary force humming along softly.
The lyrics seemed to contain some kind of treasonous curse...
Someone spotted him and pointed over with a smile. When he came to his senses, he was pulled to sit down together in front of the bonfire.
The two guards who were following him were also pulled to the bonfire.
"...Be happy, don't look so grim, the war is about to end!"
"Although you still have a lot of problems to worry about, at least now we can celebrate our common victory..." Murderous Dagger smiled and patted Duke Nihak's shoulder, "This is a victory for all mankind, not just for us.
It belongs to you too.”
"...Stop, stop talking nonsense!"
Duke Nihak's eyes widened, like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on, and he was still very, very old.
"We have no problem, we are very good! The problem is you, you are the ones who brought those stinking things... to Borneo! Before you came to our place, we were very good
very!"
His beard was trembling with anger, his lips were blue, and he didn't even realize the contradiction in his words - he said before that it was very good now, but later he said that it was very good before the alliance came.
Looking at this living clown, the players laughed out loud, and Brother Shadagger smiled again and patted him on the shoulder.
"Of course you are very good. People buried in the soil can't talk."
He still vaguely remembered that when they caught this guy, he was happily alive in bed.
Before the bearded and staring Duke could retort, Brother Shadagger poured him a glass of wine.
"Come, come, drink and eat meat. Today is a day worth celebrating. Don't hurt your friendship over trivial matters."
Looking at the meaty legs stuffed into his hands, Nihak couldn't help but think of the corpses on the ground. His face turned slightly pale and he asked in a trembling voice.
"What kind of meat is this?"
Seeing his frightened look, Sha Dian immediately knew that he was thinking wrong, so he laughed and said.
"Youkai meat, we just made it. It tastes a bit like bear meat...try it?"
Seeing the provocative look in his eyes, Duke Nihak didn't want to be looked down upon, so he took a bite with a dark face.
The aroma of barbecue spread between his lips and teeth, and the oily texture made his eyes light up.
Um……
This tastes surprisingly good?
Although the people in this alliance were a bit rough, he had to admit that these guys still had their own cooking skills.
The players saw that the Duke was no longer noisy, so they continued the banquet talking and laughing.
Murderous Dagger was laughing and chatting with his teammates, when suddenly a light blue icon popped up on the VM.
"Lao Bai, call me if you have something to do. He's probably on a mission. You continue to eat, I'll take the first step."
After saying hello to his teammates with a smile, he picked up his helmet, put it on, and walked to the command tent deep in the camp.
When he opened the door curtain and went in, he saw Lao Bai and Fang Chang standing next to the command table, meticulously staring at the map spread out on the table.
It was rare to see two people showing such serious expressions. Murderous Dagger immediately guessed that a big job was coming, and an excited expression appeared on his face.
"Come to work?"
"Yeah, and it's a big job..." Fang Chang, holding his chin, nodded and summarized the information he just heard from the Guards Corps.
To put it simply, the middle and high-level leaders of the Torch Church have a mole who leads the way. Since he is not on the "evacuation list", they hope to surrender to the alliance for a chance of leniency.
Murderous Dagger thought that this guy was really unlucky.
Generally speaking, since everyone knows that this list exists, they have to be on the list anyway.
It turned out that this person was quite interesting. He knew about the list but was not on it.
But let's not discuss how this guy got into this job. What puzzled him the most was another thing.
Are the top leaders of the Torch Church planning to run away?
These guys have been surrounded by them and become the bastards among them. Where the hell can they run away?
Is there any place on earth for them to stay?
Wait, could it be——
Seeing the stunned expression on Murderous Dagger's face, Fang Chang smiled lightly and said.
"It seems you realize it without me having to explain."
Murderous Dagger nodded and said solemnly.
"The Torch Church has a spaceship in its hands..."
Fang Chang: "..."
Lao Bai coughed dryly.
"What do they want the spacecraft to do...you have to think about it again."
Murderous Dagger was stunned for a moment.
"Ah? Then...where else can they run?"
"Actually, it's not impossible," Fang Chang said suddenly, "Maybe it's a spaceship, maybe a space station, or even a satellite or even a hard drive... But the possibility of them escaping directly in the spaceship is very small. I
It is more likely to be believed that they intend to transmit signals to equipment in outer space through some kind of high-power transmitting device."
There are a large number of spacecraft debris floating in the outer space of this planet, including some still-working satellites and even automatic weapons.
Due to the widespread application of nuclear fusion technology, the service life of many outer space equipment left over from the United Nations era is measured in centuries.
After a pause, he continued.
"If that's the case, I have reason to believe that they have completed the data transfer during the short time we were discussing. Don't forget, those guys don't have entities in the first place. They have already uploaded their data to the so-called
The sanctuary.”
Murderous Dagger was stunned for a moment and said in confusion.
"Wouldn't that mean... there's no point in chasing after us now?"
"It's not meaningless. Although it may be unrealistic to intercept the migration of data, at least we can figure out where their data is sent, and..."
Staring at the map intently, Fang Chang continued speaking normally.
"Where are our enemies?"
"Enemy..." Murderous Dagger didn't understand what he was saying, so he repeated the word incomprehensively.
Lao Bai looked at him and explained.
"Chang Fang and I agree that there may be other supporters behind the torch."
Murderous Dagger: "Other supporters are..."
Looking at Brother Shadagger who still knew nothing, Fang Chang said bluntly.
"Do you still remember the third update of the previous Beta0.6 version, the Nanmen II galaxy and the world of Gaia?"
"Damn it, you mean... planning the cake?" Sha Dian looked at him confused, "But isn't that the whole job..."
Fang Chang smiled faintly.
"Then you underestimate A Guang too much."
When everyone thinks it's a joke, it most likely isn't a joke.
He can be sure that the map five light years away has been prepared, and it has been affecting the game world since Beat version 0.6, but most people are not aware of it.
He is still not 100% sure that the torch is supported by the "Gaia Force", but he is 100% sure that the task in front of him is the first link between players and the task chain related to the new world!
He could even assert that similar opportunities may have appeared before, but no one took advantage of them.
It is precisely because of this that this mission will fly directly to them like a straight ball.
Most of the events in this game seem to be isolated from each other, but in fact if you dig deeper, you can eventually find connections with each other!
He can confidently say that no one understands A Guang better than him!
After listening to Fang Chang's analysis, Murderous Dagger also felt that it was like that, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"In other words, our opportunity to establish an opportunity with the world five light years away lies in this mission? Wait, Gan! Then if we fail, won't we miss the opportunity to open a new map?"
Fang Chang shook his head and said.
"That's not the case. Since the game team has made the map, it will definitely give players the opportunity to go there. However, many tasks in this game are unique, and the opportunities given to each player are also limited. If we do this
If you miss it this time, it should be triggered by another player next time."
"It's useless to analyze this now. Let's go back to the mission itself."
Lao Bai coughed lightly, ended the topic that had gone astray, and continued talking while looking at the map spread out on the table.
"...According to the intelligence from the Guards Corps, the top management of the Torch is currently hiding in an underground facility called Vault 20. The entrance to this shelter is located in an abandoned old-era industrial park, and it is the same as Vault 182.
The shelter has been reactivated after being abandoned for many years, so it won’t be very difficult for us to break through the security system.”
"The name of the NPC who provided us with information is Kallen. We now have her biometric information, whether it's fingerprints, iris or measurements... Well, in short, she may have important information in her hands, including the whereabouts of the top leaders of the Torch Church.
The supporters behind the torch, as well as information on the Gestalt Lifeform research project, etc. Therefore, our first priority is to ensure her safety, and the second is to suppress the entire research facility and seize control of Vault 20."
"According to the coordinates provided by the Guards Corps, this shelter is about 100 kilometers away from our landing point. One-third of the road in the middle is still hilly, and the road condition is very poor, so I'm afraid not much investment will be made in this battle.
Heavy equipment.”
Fang Chang nodded.
"Using a Viper transport plane to break in quickly is a better choice... After all, it belongs to the realm of heaven, and a quick victory would be better."
"I have the same idea as you," Lao Bai grinned and continued with a serious look, "In addition, the Guards Corps reminds us that we must be careful of friendly forces... This research institute is very close to the 310,000th regiment of the legion.
About fifty kilometers. If we make too much noise and make them realize that there may be some treasure there, it's hard to say whether they will step in and mess things up. We must not let the researchers of the Torch fall into their hands.
.”
The Vaillants are also the holders of Gestalt life technology, and the clones that grow eight times faster are the product of this project.
In fact, it's not just the legion, they also have to be careful about the academy.
The former is at least active in the light, while the latter is active in the dark most of the time. It's hard to say whether they already know something.
After all, although it is true that the Alliance has been fighting against the Torch, it is not necessarily the Alliance who knows the Torch best.
Long before the alliance was born, the academy had already noticed the crisis emerging in Haiya Province, and they were the ones who "encouraged" the alliance to enter Jinhe City.
"So there is no air support available?" Murderous Dagger said solemnly.
Fang Chang: "There is no problem with air support, and a small amount of artillery fire should be no problem, but I'm afraid we need to be more cautious with saturated barrage coverage. This is equivalent to telling the legion that we have a large-scale operation in the local area... If it can be carried out in a low-key manner,
It’s best to solve the problem. If you must use it, try to wait until you are retreating or wrapping up before using it.”
"That's basically it," Lao Bai nodded, looking at the murder dagger and continued, "In addition, according to the information provided by the informant, there is a ruling team of the Torch Tribunal stationed near the facility, as well as people loyal to the First
The Holy Light Knights of the Holy Temple. The former is less than a company in size, but the latter has about a battalion and is equipped with a large number of high-tech weapons."
"In addition, our drone also discovered a mutant force in an abandoned city not far from the facility, with a size of more than a thousand... It is suspected to be a mutant tribe that was withdrawn from Shifeng Mountain. Once the Torch
The church's key facilities are under attack, and they have no reason not to rush over to provide support."
"Therefore, I plan to divide the troops into two parts. One part will serve as a feint attack force, carrying light equipment and flying on an Overlord transport aircraft to the vicinity of the abandoned city. They will launch a surprise attack on the local mutant troops and try to attract the attention of the Torch as much as possible. The other part will
Take the Viper transport plane and rush directly to the entrance of Shelter 20, and cooperate with the inside to take down the entire facility!"
"That's a good idea!" Murderous Dagger nodded with bright eyes, but when he saw both of them looking at him intently, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, "Uh... why are you looking at me like that."
Speaking of which, why was he alone in such an important combat meeting?
Where are the other brothers?
Lao Bai and Fang Chang looked at each other, and finally the latter walked up to the murderous dagger and placed his hands on his shoulders solemnly.
"...We plan to hand over this arduous and glorious feint mission to your battalion!"
