The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, the sky is clear and the air is clear.
It was indeed a nice day.
For ordinary people, today is definitely a good day for a family outing.
It is also a good time for young people to talk about love.
Normally, Su Ji's mood today would be as bright and beautiful as the weather.
But today, everything is different from before.
This time.
Little brother Ji carries too many burdens that are not for his age...
Early in the morning, Su Ji said goodbye to her two elders and went out.
He had important things to do, and he didn't have much leisure and elegance to take into account the many beautiful morning scenery along the way.
The original plan of the two elders was to send Su Ji near the mission location.
However, Weaver Girl informed that this mission will be picked up by a special car, and non-players are not allowed to come forward.
So I could only have a hasty breakfast with my parents and then go out.
After arriving at a designated neighborhood, the next step is to wait for the Tianxuanhui's special car to arrive.
Su Ji was about ten minutes ahead of schedule. After waiting at the same spot for about five minutes, a large bus slowly drove over from the end of the road.
From afar, Su Ji recognized the bus's license plate number, and then boarded the bus after it stopped.
"Please authenticate!"
The testing instrument in front of the driver's seat made a crisp sound.
It was also the first time for Su Ji to do such a shameful thing. She had no experience before, so she was a little confused.
Finally, under the guidance of the driver, I successfully stood in front of the identity verification machine.
The process is still the same as before, including voiceprint, fingerprint, face... and other biometric information.
Finally, a pleasant female voice announced.
"Ding!"
"Identity verification successful!"
"Welcome players: lv4 lonely sardine!"
…
Damn it?
Everyone in Su Ji was numb.
This damn sound is too loud!
What unlucky guy designed this verification machine?
as expected.
When the beep sounds in the car.
Everyone who was doing their own thing in their seats suddenly raised their heads.
"Who is it? A new person is here?"
"Did I hear it wrong? It seemed to be level 4 players just now?"
"No way? A level four rookie? I don't think it's good..."
"..."
Soon, along with the scattered whispers coming from all around, Su Ji felt a rather special atmosphere coming towards her.
However, this was not because the air conditioner on the bus was turned on sufficiently, or because of other factors that Su Ji had completely ignored.
Unlike the buses that usually shuttle through the city, there were almost no old people, women and children on this bus.
All of them are burly men in their prime.
Um……
Equivalent……
Passion.
As Su Ji walked along the aisle of the carriage to the front, she felt the sharp gazes coming from all around.
Su Ji's heart skipped a beat.
Why did he suddenly become a man?...
Su Ji calmed down and quickly walked to the end of the bus compartment with a calm look on her face.
On the surface, everything seems calm and calm, but in fact, that little heart is beating like a drum.
After all, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Finding a safe Feng Shui location to occupy first is the real top priority.
With this in mind, Su Ji quickly sat down in the last row.
As soon as she sat down, Su Ji was stunned for a moment.
"It's you?"
Facing the girl who appeared next to her, Su Ji felt a little surprised, but she seemed to be expecting it.
"Shh!"
Gu Li immediately stretched out one hand to hold Su Ji's mouth, and at the same time raised an index finger with the other hand and placed it in front of her lips to make a silent gesture.
"Keep your voice down!"
Gu Li glared at Su Ji pretending to be fierce, lowered her voice and said, "I don't want to be noticed by others!"
"What's wrong? Is there something shameful about this?"
Su Ji whispered in confusion:
"By the way, why do I feel like there are so few girls on this bus?"
"Because this mission prioritizes recruiting male players in their prime, we girls were placed in the second batch, which has not been released yet," Gu Li said.
"Then why are you here?" Su Ji asked doubtfully.
"Because I signed up voluntarily!" Gu Li said.
"Isn't that enough?" Su Ji had the urge to roll her eyes, "Then you didn't sneak up here, so what does it matter?"
"Then I'm not afraid that dad will know?"
Gu Li pursed her lips and said, "I came here secretly without telling him."
"If he knew about this, my legs would be broken."
"Is it as exaggerated as you said?" Su Ji said with a helpless smile, "But you are a player, isn't it normal for you to go out to perform a mission?"
"Yes, but my father doesn't think so." Gu Li said.
"Then what did he think?" Su Ji asked.
"He just thinks I'm not good enough!"
Gu Li spread her hands and said nonchalantly, "In his opinion, the job that is most suitable for a girl's family - or in other words, the job that is most suitable for his daughter is definitely not a front-line investigator, nor is it the group of people from the Executive Bureau.
Elites fighting head-on."
"Ever since I became a player, he has clearly arranged my future path."
"He will use his connections to give me some advice and then put me into a department above the Tianxuan Society."
"Maybe go to the Finance and Accounting Department to be an accountant, or go to the Resources Department to be a junior director or something?"
"Anyway, it's the kind of place where you sit in an office all day long, out of the wind and out of the sun."
"Actually, I can understand this." Su Ji said, "It's human nature... He may not want you to suffer too much."
"The problem is that my talent is telekinesis!"
"If I don't have the ability to fight, it would sound a bit outrageous, right?"
"Do you want me to use my telekinesis to serve tea, pour water and wipe the table in the office from now on?"
Gu Li complained irritably while using his telekinesis to control the two stupid hairs on his head to move left and right, "Look, I bet you are no less stupid than doing such a stupid thing."
"That's not impossible..."
The corner of Su Ji's mouth twitched slightly, "Actually, it mainly depends on yourself."
"If you want to, just do it."
"If only my dad thought the same way as you!" Gu Li sighed.
After a pause, she laughed strangely again: "Actually, when I first started, I didn't know what I wanted to do."
"But I can feel it in my heart—"
"The less my dad wants me to do something, the more I want to do it!"
Su Ji's head was full of black lines: "...To put it bluntly, what you want to do most is to confront your father?"
"Roughly the same."
Gu Li chuckled, "Just to make him worry less!"
"Otherwise, if I am too good, he will not be in the mood to go home!"
This does make sense and is completely justified...
Su Ji couldn't help but start to admire this girl's thinking.
During the conversation, the bus gradually left the city.
The scenery outside the car window gradually became a little strange.
Even Su Ji, an old aboriginal who was born and raised in Muhai City, is not very familiar with the geographical environment of this area.
Because he has basically never been to this area before.
Soon, the bus stopped in a garrison area in the suburbs.
After getting off the bus, Su Ji discovered that there was more than just one bus coming here.
More than two hundred players have gathered here, arranged in formation according to the division of teams.
Everyone has put on combat uniforms and other equipment in accordance with the team's requirements, and stood ready under the captain's order.
It looks quite like a military exercise.
"Newcomers, get off the bus quickly!"
"Don't waste time!"
"I'm talking about you, you dawdle!"
"..."
A man who didn't look like a nobody shouted loudly.
While speaking, the other party also showed the ID above his head.
The crowd was too crowded, and the other party's level flashed by. Su Ji couldn't see it clearly, but the number was definitely not small.
The commonly known operation of showing ID seems to be the most commonly used method among players to show their personal level and identity.
An investigator walking in front was named and reprimanded. He was so shocked that he quickly jumped out of the car and ran towards the direction where the team was gathering.
This formation also frightened the investigators, who got out of their cars one after another, fearing that they would cause trouble.
Soon, Su Ji and Gu Li arrived at the meeting point together and lined up with the other players.
Su Ji glanced around and observed that there were five teams in total in this place.
There are about twenty or thirty people in a team, all of whom are junior and intermediate investigators. The player levels are basically between lv5 and lv8.
Each team has a player who is at least a certain level as captain, and the level is basically v15 and above.
As for the man who seems to be the biggest, he has reached level 19!
Players of this level, if they were in Tianxuanhui, would have almost met the qualification requirements to compete for the position of deacon.
That is almost the same level as Tang Ran.
However, after the [Doomsday Paratroopers] dungeon ends, Tang Ran should have been promoted to commander.
Five minutes later, all the teams had gathered.
Su Ji and Gu Li's team is the fifth team.
A slender man walked up to them and said with a gentle smile:
"Good morning everyone, my name is Yuan Qing."
"Although everything happened very suddenly today."
"But it's still an honor to meet you."
"Because from today on, we are comrades fighting side by side in the 'Haiyun Project'."
"Hello, Captain Yuan!" The members of the fifth group clapped their hands enthusiastically, "Please give instructions from Captain Yuan!"
"No, no, no, no need to be so serious!"
Yuan Qing stretched out his two palms and pressed them down. He smiled helplessly and said, "Relax a little. Although we have rules to follow, it's not to the level of military training."
"This is a red alert level mission. I believe that most of you will be performing a mission of this level for the first time."
"So let me give you a brief explanation and then I'll make it look like it."
"First of all, our main task today is to complete the stationing at various intersections from the closed area to the city."
"There are five intersections on the road leading to the city. We have exactly five teams. One team is responsible for guarding one intersection."
"Our fifth team was assigned to the intersection on the southwest side, which is neither close nor far from the base camp, so we can set off after a short rest."
"If you have any questions now, you can ask them now."
Yuan Qing asked.
"Captain Yuan, I have a question!" the boy with the ID "lv6 Qiuku Man" raised his hand from the team and said.
"Say." Yuan Qing said.
"What exactly is in the closed area?" Qiuku Man asked curiously.
"I'm also very curious about this." Another cat with the ID "lv7 Tingyu" also echoed, "The news about the closed area is spread everywhere on the Internet, but we still don't know what is really in it.
clear."
"The original plan was to tell you in detail after I was stationed at night, but now it doesn't matter if I tell you in advance."
Yuan Qing said, "A large number of [Deadpools] appeared in the restricted area."
"Although they are relatively low-level alien creatures, our current understanding of [the undead] has not yet reached a very deep and thorough level, so we still need to remain vigilant enough."
"Deadpool?" the girl with the ID "lv6 Mirror Flower, Water Moon" asked, "How come so many of these creatures suddenly appear?"
"This is also something we are currently investigating." Yuan Qing said, "The closed area has been shrouded in an unknown fog. If we want to find out the real root cause, we can only rely on in-depth investigation."
The cat listening to the rain whispered:
"Do you even need to ask? Something must have happened at Yongnian Cemetery."
"That cemetery is right in the center of the closed area. There is basically nothing except this!"
"Hiss! Is it so scary? It does sound a bit scary..."
The Qiuku Man's eyes widened with surprise, "But brother, how do you know this?"
"Tch, what's all the fuss about?"
Tingyu's cat raised his eyebrows, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said with a hint of pride.
"There is someone in my family in the Muhai branch!"
"With this little tidbit of information, can't we find out in a matter of minutes?"
"Brother, it's fierce!" The man in the long johns quickly blew a rainbow fart, "Then for this mission, I will just stare at your thighs and hug you!"
"..."
Listening to the conversations of several companions around her, Su Ji couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, the conversation between these people sounded like nothing at first glance.
The main thing is that the person sitting next to him is Gu Li.
And at this time, when you hear the cat listening to the rain say these words, you will inevitably find it a bit funny.
