In the autumn of September, Spring City and the surrounding areas ushered in the best season of the year.
The weather is suitable, the bleeding season has passed, and the hustle and bustle downstream has basically nothing to do with them. There is also the recently released "Dream World" game to experience... So traveling far away at this time is particularly cruel.
There is no other way, people always have to make a living.
Compared with other lazy companions, Bao Hongliang is considered to be the more energetic one. .??.
It has been less than a year since he retired from the field force, but his pace is still very tight, and he still has a strong curiosity about everything outside. Especially recently, he has just changed the team, and the new boss is the powerful group of Spring City, Spring City of the Abilities Association
Branch president Qiu Wanshan...'s confidant, a B-level strongman, is also very satisfied with his "military elite" persona.
After the bloody season, the excess rewards during the special period were paid out as scheduled, and people like him who were willing to work hard were even given a salary increase.
With this kind of treatment, at this time, it was time for him to show his heart.
Although it was a crisp autumn day, when they set foot in the volcanic area southwest of Spring City, the air seemed extremely hot. This had nothing to do with the terrain or climate, but the sudden intensification of the flow of people and the intersecting competing sights, giving
This feeling.
Yes, the volcanic area southwest of Spring City is now a hot spot in the eyes of many people.
Ultimately, it was because of the absurd and careless live broadcast in Lake City last month.
It's only been about 20 days now, but this is the most intense "wall collapse" process that Bao Hongliang has experienced since he knew the concept of "inner world".
Even at the beginning, it took him several years to slowly piece together the outline of the other world. But in just over twenty days, not only those "concepts", but also the "dream world"
That kind of nightmare game has global coverage, and the majority of people are brought into a more realistic whirlpool of this world before they can even react.
That one is really...
Bao Hongliang's boss has a high status in the Spring City branch. He is considered a semi-official person, and he still has some privileges in the current environment. So, five large transport vehicles and seven or eight off-road vehicles were assembled.
The convoy whizzes past in the wilderness. Even if it encounters some people with ulterior motives, there are bright official logos, military drones hovering overhead, and almost all military and police exoskeleton configurations.
They were scared off.
Besides, the convoy was going in, not out, so it wouldn't be their turn to rob it.
Other teams may not be so lucky.
On the road, Bao Hongliang saw more than once the remains of vehicles, personnel and equipment that had been torn apart by wandering aberrations, and some that had been blown to pieces by weapons of mass destruction.
These are recent traces, not remnants of the bloody season.
In the team, everyone is basically used to it.
Most of them ignored it, and at most they just had a few more things to talk about.
In fact, they actually started chatting.
The off-road vehicle on which Bao Hongliang was sitting was wearing armor and had its roof removed. Anyway, it was protected by an exoskeleton, so he wasn't afraid of being blown off his face by the wind. He didn't even bother to use the communication channel, so he just stood there against the wind.
Yell.
The one on the left in the back row is the newcomer, and the one with the most questions is, "It's still a mystery. Do we want to make it so bloody? It seems like we have discovered some treasure."
The driver was the most talkative and had no scruples. "Maybe he was afraid that some people would get hot-headed and destroy the Vulcan ants' nest. Although the driver hadn't said anything until now, what if the 1,400 people really lost their temper?"
Among the various types of Vulcan Ants, which one suddenly became extinct? Looking back and blaming it, tell me, Chuncheng’s side or the President’s side, should we pick it up or not?”
The person on the right side of the back row is a veteran, and he also likes to rely on his elders to show off his skills. "There are really more than 1,400 kinds? I have lived in Spring City for thirty or forty years, why don't I know..."
The driver laughed, "Don't mention you. Even those great experts who have studied aberrations all their lives will be confused when they hear this number. When you came here last time, you didn't listen to Professor Ding. He only knew about 800 kinds at most.
All that's left is to find out more about that person's classification criteria, but we can't find anyone now, right?"
The veteran laughed loudly, "This is going to be troublesome. What if that guy comes forward and says that you have destroyed 600 kinds of things for me during this period, shall we pay for it with my head?"
"We'll pay for it with our heads." Bao Hongliang couldn't lag behind others when talking about big mountains, so he said a cold joke, "There must be far more than 600 people working around here now, including us.
Already."
"There are more than 6,000."
"If you lose one, you'll get ten right."
The newcomer suddenly asked again, "What if he comes according to the number of Vulcan ants?"
This joke is so cold...so cold.
The driver couldn't stand it. "Let's think about the good news. If we really find a so-called time and space passage, not to mention leading to the fog maze... Is it called this name? Even if it leads to Lake City, how many copies will be sold?"
If you have billions or billions, you can’t call it greedy, right?”
"Who points to the passage to Lake City to live?" The veteran pouted, "Have you been eaten by Lord Baifeng in the past? If you ask me, the passage leading to the Mist Maze is definitely the most valuable. By the way, we are already very restrained. Dream World
It’s crazy inside, the volcano area has exploded again!”
"Don't talk about the volcanic area, I think it won't be long before Spring City is also going to be destroyed. Now the game is getting more and more no bottom line." Bao Hongliang has a majestic figure, and he feels cramped sitting in the front passenger seat.
, but there was a senior person in the back, and it was not easy to adjust the seat, so I could only stretch my body reluctantly, and casually agreed, "It is said that people can be resurrected and refreshed, but those scenes and other things cannot be restored."
The driver laughed, "There must be some room to vent. It's enough to have an explosion in reality. That was only four years ago. Hey, Lao Bao, you seemed to be serving nearby at that time?"
Bao Hongliang sighed, "It can't be said to be nearby. Our field army was either being chased by the aberrations, or chasing the aberrations... that is, that time, we were chased by the volcanic lava."
"Speaking of which, one party was worth money at that time, who was the other one?" .??.
"how could I know?"
"You are close, and the military news is relatively timely, so there is no accurate information?"
"Even if there is accurate information, can I, the big-headed soldier, know about it? And I think it should still be unclear. Otherwise, it has been three or four years, and the news should have been released long ago."
As he spoke, the speed of the convoy slowed down significantly, and it had almost arrived at the destination.
At this time, the convoy happened to be on the upper section of a severely damaged mountain ring road. The terrain was high and commanding. Looking out from the front windshield, one could see an almost barren volcanic area with large temporary camps and tents on the outskirts. There was no plan.
, a mess, a mess in the east and a mess in the west.
Those are Spring City, including Yan City, Xicheng, and Lake City that are further away, and there are people who come here to hunt for treasures, and even join in the fun.
If it were just the world, it would definitely not be so chaotic. The terrible thing is that many ordinary people who could not come here before have traveled thousands of miles to check in because of the spread of information. Since the information itself comes from the live broadcast channel
When it spreads, these people are also in the corresponding circles, which creates the effect of repeated diffusion and reinforcement.
The driver slapped the steering wheel hard and sounded a sharp horn, "Well, we professionals are clearing the way for them to check in and travel."
The veteran also snorted, "In the past, they would have been almost dead on the road, let alone the volcanic area."
Bao Hongliang laughed, "The situation is different now. Some people still hire professionals from the other world to be bodyguards."
"Can it still be like this?" The newcomer opened his eyes wide.
"Yes, there are all those who buy in groups!" The veteran snorted and sneered, "Especially in the dream world, those so-called 'newcomers' who have passed the opening animation and think they are talented, and others who have become familiar with it...
…Someone contacted me the day before yesterday to ask if I would take this order. If I hadn’t had a task today, maybe I would have taken it.”
"Is it so hot in the volcanic area?"
The driver also hummed and laughed, "Like the volcanic area, it's not the most popular scenic spot. The hottest spot is Lake City Baifengjun. First there are
The one who took the beauty on a mountaineering trip, and then the one with the Skeleton Demon King, you don’t know how hot it is there, tsk, it’s incredible.”
"Then this side?"
"It's not a turn, it's not a turn. The second one is Xia Cheng. After all, it is the easiest place to receive tasks in the dream game world. It is also highly safe and relatively low-cost. Now everyone has come back to it.
I think it won’t take long for the popularity to overtake Hucheng.”
“It’s so colorful…”
"Absurdity is the truth." The driver sighed, "The ecology on this side of the earth is about to undergo a big change. The old practices and practices in the past may all have to change. Either the emperor will be the emperor and the emperor will be the emperor.
Courtiers...the problem is that there are two days in the sky now, and the Deep Blue World is not easy to deal with."
"This guy Li Wei is really difficult to deal with."
"Oh, your tone..."
The driver suddenly stood there stunned.
Only then did he realize that the voice he was talking to was strange and a little familiar, but it was definitely not any of the other three people in the car who had just talked to him. Then he turned around and saw someone sitting in the back seat.
A young man came in, right between the "newcomers" and "veterans". He was dressed in casual clothes and was definitely not a member of the team.
The point is, the key point is the appearance of this person. In recent times, through ubiquitous live broadcasts and recorded images, it has been spread all over the world.
In fact, you don’t need to look at your face. When the driver came to his senses and recalled the hoarse voice that sounded like a teenager’s voice change just now, he already made a judgment.
"Luo, Luo..."
Between the stiff "newcomers" and "veterans", Ronan held up the seat in front and asked with great interest, "Here in the volcanic area, outside are the tourists checking in, the treasure hunters and explorers joining in the fun, and the Vulcan Ant Nest."
Where is it nearby?”
The driver had forgotten to start the car and didn't even bother to respond.
In the co-pilot position, Bao Hongliang's performance was a little more stable, but limited. "It's mainly the Spring City branch and research institutions supported by the military and government. We don't know the details..."
Originally, there was no way to continue here, but when the young man in the back row glanced over, he blurted out, "Our boss may know better. How about asking him to communicate with you?"
"Okay, thank you, Brother Bao."
"...Ah? You're welcome." Bao Hongliang suddenly realized, "You, you remember me?"
"I borrowed your equipment. I don't have many familiar faces here in Spring City, so of course I remember. By the way, what time are you coming today?"
"The 6th, September 6th."
Ronan raised his wrist to confirm the time, "Tsk, that's right."
Bao Hongliang and the driver looked at each other.
