Li Quyi is twenty-one years old and still a student. But he is already a professional explorer, the kind who has two or three younger brothers.
He was a student union cadre of Hengheng University of Science and Technology in Hewan City, and he was the pride of the campus. However, when he entered the professional society early because he was too good, he was severely beaten by society.
During the graduation season, he and several senior classmates started a small company and began to accept some official and private commissions. Judging from the results, the seven partners now have three, or they will soon become two.
Already.
".Give me up, you still have a chance."
Liu Ge, the partner who was sleeping with him, came out. His breathing and wailing were on Li Quyi's back, and blood dripped on his feet and flowed to the ground.
"No, we still have hope."
Carrying the wounded on his back, Li Quyi moved forward numbly. As the captain and the core, he said words that he did not even believe.
Behind him were six other people, all of whom were injured, some young and some middle-aged.
One of them is his last partner, and the rest probably come from at least three teams.
"You can't escape. If you don't let me go, Brother Li, you can't escape. We are like wild dogs, being driven away constantly."
His words made everyone feel cold.
Indeed, they are like wild dogs, driven away at will by people with sticks.
After losing the means of communication, the Os people took the initiative on the battlefield.
Most of the Dongguo people hunted and explored this world in small groups. When the war suddenly came, they anxiously communicated with each other, and when the radio suddenly cut off, they became a lonely boat on the sea.
.
Only a very small number of teams have independent intelligence capabilities. When contact was cut off, they were blindfolded and thrown into the sea of confusion.
What's even more deadly is that there are swarms of hungry sharks all around.
They come in groups, are the most numerous, and have a keen sense of smell. When a small team of Easterners encounters them, they are like shipwrecked people encountering a swarm of sharks.
It's not that the Dongguo people didn't save themselves, but they were beaten too suddenly and lost their most important intelligence support.
Having lost their source of information, they naturally tried to unite with each other. They gathered spontaneously at various key nodes and formed various self-protection teams.
".The result is that the more people gather, the more priority they get attacked."
The Ossians have become quite proficient in this tactic, using legions and multiple battle groups to bully stragglers, and giving priority to small and medium-sized teams trying to assemble to attack.
As soon as the team of ten or twenty people was formed, they were attacked by a large group.
Needless to say, the result was that it was not a competition on the same level at all. One side was still fighting, and the other side was already in a war.
".Do we still want to go to the next meeting point?"
Some of the team members looked hesitant and uneasy, but they still asked such words.
For a while, no one dared to answer.
Do you continue to try to gather together to keep warm? I'm afraid it will only bring disaster to others.
In the current situation, the Os people, who have the advantage of intelligence, will attack whoever has the most people first.
Li Quyi's temporary team was made up of broken soldiers and defeated generals. They no longer knew whether there was any point in continuing to struggle.
"They didn't pounce now. They just wanted to wait for us to die naturally and reduce the damage in the battle."
"Perhaps it would be better for others to stop here."
"I can't stand it."
It's not just the wounded soldiers who are depressed. The most unlucky one in the team has been attacked four times and has seen the death of his friends.
Despair is not due to pessimism, but a reality that is more severe than the most pessimistic expectations. Some people are seriously considering whether to die here and suffer less.
This can't go on like this.
Li Quyi raised his head, as if he was planning to say something. He knew that if this continued, even if there was no next attack, his team would be doomed.
But looking back at his bandaged companion, he sighed helplessly and said nothing.
At this time, it would be the cruelest thing to blindly give expectations that cannot be fulfilled, right?
"Shasha. Someone is there"
Suddenly, a voice came from the intercom.
Everyone paused. The next moment, someone suddenly realized what was happening. They quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and turned the volume up to the maximum!
"We are the ancient city Wang Xier and Lu Ping'an team. We have rebuilt radio towers at X37 and Y119 and built defense lines. We are close to us to provide medical help."
At this moment, the desperate people's eyes lit up.
"Woooooo, why... couldn't have been earlier."
Li Quyi, who was extremely surprised, was confused by the familiar crying sound behind him.
Why do you say this? Doesn’t this give new hope? Everyone can be saved
He subconsciously turned sideways and turned around, only to realize that the person on his back, Liu Ge, who liked to sing, had left without a trace.
".asshole."
He clenched his fists and cursed, but he didn't even know who he was cursing.
If he were faster, could his brother survive? Maybe.
So, are you scolding the slow communication? Scolding yourself for being incompetent? Or are you scolding the Os people who caused all this?
"Let's go. Let's go."
Taking a deep breath, Li Quyi's eyes no longer had fear and anxiety, and his blood-red eyes looked towards the endless forest, as if a vicious wolf was hiding in it.
"Revenge for Liu Ge and everyone."
The words with a deliberately suppressed tone are hatred and determination compressed to the limit.
——
Lu Ping'an stood near the front line of the temporary camp, flipping through a book and performing his duties to guard the camp.
Everyone knows that when this "public screen notification" is sent out, this base and its coordinates will become the focus of the war.
Around him, three law-level warriors were either retreating behind closed doors or taking a bird's-eye view of the front. Their combat power was ready, and they wanted to cut off any possible attack from the Aussies as soon as possible.
But the wounded came first.
It is better if you can wear a bandage and can walk.
Those who were seriously injured and dragged over were also the lucky ones.
A tired face is lucky, but a hateful face is normal.
There are still tears while crying all the way, and those who are silent as if they were dead, many have lost everything.
".why why?"
Along the way, Lu Ping An heard this sentence the most.
They couldn't understand. There was really no reason why the explorers who were in the peaceful area of Eastern Kingdom two months ago could understand.
Why did he and his party have to encounter such a misfortune? Why did they behave like this?
".Aren't we all human? Why are they so cruel?"
"I'm just here to make money with my brother. We're here to collect resources and mine. My brother is a pure healer who has never even killed a chicken!"
".Did we do something wrong? Why should they?"
The same words left everyone in the camp speechless.
Compared with these wounded and remnant soldiers, the two stronger local teams were simply too lucky, or maybe being more powerful was the reason for that "lucky".
The constant "why" makes people helpless.
This was not because they, as explorers, were not mentally prepared to die in battle, but that they really did not expect that in this vast world, they and their loved ones would die inexplicably at the hands of the same kind.
Can’t understand? I don’t understand at all, and even those who barely know some Xuanli Stone cannot accept this.
".Are these broken stones worth killing?" They couldn't understand that even if this stone was worth a lot of money, it was worth killing to take it? This is a crime.
The Dongguo people in the peaceful world may not be inferior to the Os people in terms of absolute strength and experience, but they are indeed a little "inadequately prepared" for certain cruel realities and the lower limits of human interests.
They were still living in a society governed by law a few months ago, but they were indeed unprepared for this different world that was already full of cruel and bloody battles.
There are more and more people.
Those who were seriously injured went to receive treatment, but those who were still able to fight were preparing for battle. They also whispered about their previous experiences and the grievances and incomprehensions in their hearts.
The repeated "why"s, filled with confusion and doubt, eventually lost their meaning.
I asked, questioned, and yelled, but there was no answer, or in other words, everyone knew the answer.
The remnant soldiers arrived one by one, the sad past became duller and duller as they talked about it, and the smell of blood and the eyes of hatred gradually accumulated.
