I Became a God in a Horror Game: 279, the frontier of the dense forest (day +154)

Bai Liu subconsciously wanted to push Spade away, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Xiaohe watching a play. Guy, sorry, turned away from Alex, and immediately woke up again .

He bowed his head down as if shy, put his head on Spade's collarbone, and buried his head in Spade's arms.

Bai Liu's breathing sounded slightly rapid, his fingers curled into fists, and he pursed his lips twice, when he spoke, his voice was already very calm.

"...before you do something like this next time, tell me first."

Placing Spades on Bai Liu's shoulders and putting his hands together, he hummed lightly, as if aware of Bai Liu's emotions, he subconsciously said: "Am I doing this too this time?" Should I ask you first?"

"Sorry." He apologized sincerely, "Are you angry?"

Bai Liu burst out laughing suddenly, he looked up at Spades, his eyes looked at Spades and paused.

Hot air envelops the pitch-black pupils, which are dark, bright and unclear. There is a vague self hidden in those eyes, and it seems that there is a white Liu who is missing someone.

Bai Liu put his head on Spade's heart, and he could still smell the smell of blood left here.

He just emptied two magazines in spades and dug his heart out.

The emotions that surged up and slowly fell down again.

Bai Liu closed his eyes, let out a breath slowly, he still had that kind of loose smile on his face: "You haven't changed about this, I'll apologize for what you did."

Xieta said that when he was together, the most he could say was sorry.

This person has an inexplicable desire to survive, and every time he is keenly aware of the signs of a surge in Bai Liu's anger, he apologizes in time——

——‌‌Dare to do it next time.

"Forget it this time." Bai Liu got up from Spade's arms, smiled, Guy Alex nodded and greeted, lightly glanced at Spade next to him, and smiled. Very friendly, "but I hope there will be no next time."

Spades: "..."

I always feel that I have done something wrong again.

The two of them followed Gay to the base camp in the other direction, and they had to take a train along the way.

But this is a very strange railway, only a few tens of miles away, and it can only go to and from small towns on the front line.

Sitting in the carriage, Guy explained helplessly to Bai Liu and the others: "It's strange, isn't it? It's rare to build a railway like this, but because this war has been fought for a year and a half, it has been stuck in this position for no reason. Push forward, so this strange railway was built in order to facilitate the transportation of soldiers and supplies.”

Bai Liu looked back from the dense jungle outside the car window - it is not an easy task to build such a railway in this humid area.

It took so much effort to repair such a route, it can only be said that the commander's plan for this battle was not small.

Bai Liu looked at Guy: "Why have you been stuck here for a year and a half?"

Guy gave a long, long sigh: "Because there is a very important and strategic location more than 20 kilometers ahead - Lake Pluto."

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows: "Pluto, the king of Hades in Roman mythology? Why is this lake called that?"

Guy explained: "This place has a lot of rainfall in summer, and the average annual precipitation can reach tens of thousands of millimeters at most."

"In summer, this lake, which is at the lowest point of the entire area, is due to a large amount of precipitation and the water level rises rapidly, causing mountain floods, which drown many people living nearby every year. Therefore, people here call this lake [Summer Rage Death], and named it Pluto.”

"Not only that." Alex added with a serious look, "Once the water level in Pluto rises, the water from its lake will overflow, automatically filling many surrounding canals, and automatically forming in this dense rainforest. A network of criss-crossing rivers centered on Pluto."

Guy took a deep breath: "In this kind of rainforest where it is difficult to build transportation channels, the river is the natural railway. Once anyone occupies Pluto before the rainy season, whoever can use the river. Ships are transporting a large amount of supplies around this area, weapons and soldiers, occupying a strong advantage in warfare.”

Bai Liu said: "That is to say, whoever occupies Pluto before the rainy season will win this war."

"But if that's the case, you've been here for a year and a half, and you've experienced at least two rainy seasons." Bai Liu asked thoughtfully, "Didn't you decide the outcome of these two rainy seasons?"

Guy shook his head with a wry smile: "We occupied Pluto the year before last, but there was not much precipitation in that rainy season, and the transportation range formed by the river was relatively narrow."

"We lost our advantage on the battlefield during that rainy season, and let someone on the other side occupy Pluto. Just in case, we expanded our conscription that year."

Guy looked at Alex with complicated eyes: "...Alex came to the front line at that time."

Alex nodded, his expression was gloomy: "Last year's rainy season was when the enemy occupied Pluto, and the precipitation was also very good... Their battlefield advantage has continued until this year, and we Retreating steadily, just resisting, receiving more corpses on the battlefield every day than the day before..."

"The superiors continue to increase the intensity of conscription to fill the front line, so that we must not lose, we must win..."

Guy patted Alex on the shoulder and sighed: "This kind of thing, how can we not turn to slaughter."

He smiled bitterly: "On the battlefield, the only thing we can do is die."

Alex lowered his head, his voice was very low: "I sometimes feel that it would be nice if we lost and the war would end..."

Guy's expression froze, he looked left and right, and knocked Alex on the head helplessly: "Don't say such things on the train, if you hear it, you will be punished."

Alex still bowed his head, his fists clenched tightly on his knees, and he didn't speak.

Guy hugged his shoulders hard, put his chin against Alex's head, and said in a soft and gentle tone: "It's okay, this rainy season will definitely end the war."

Alex silently squeezed Guy's hand.

"This rainy season will definitely end the war, why do you say that?" Bai Liu looked up at Guy.

Guy was silent for a moment: "You will be completely useless when you arrive at the military service point."

After saying this, Guy looked out of the train in a daze, holding Alex tighter and tighter, his eyes reflected the swaying green shades of war.

"... There is a proverb in my hometown that says that the time a lover spends together is more precious than gold." Guy muttered to himself.

He smiled and turned his head to look at Bai Liu's spades, the flames of war in his eyes had faded, and the green shades had faded, only a kind of moving and moist light like an old photo, and there was a kind of smile on his face I can't hide my envy, pride and happiness.

Guy laughed heartily: "Then when the four of us stay together, aren't we the richest people in the world?"

Jumping off the train, Bai Liu and his party saw the crowds of people from a distance, joining the army.

Someone stood on the table with a loudspeaker and yelled angrily, someone held up a recruitment poster and shouted to distribute it around, and someone was lying on the ground with a dirty ballpoint pen that he didn't know where to pick it up. Fill out the registration form.

The whole scene was chaotic like a pot of porridge.

"It seems that there are quite a few recruits who came to report today." Guy clicked his tongue twice, "It's not easy to get two registration forms in this kind of scene."

"It's time for us to show our friendship." Guy grabbed Alex's hand who hadn't reacted yet, blew a cheerful whistle, and rushed in In the crowd, "I'll help you get the registration form!"

Ten minutes later, Alex was squeezed and his face was deformed. Alex sat on the ground panting with dull eyes, and Guy excitedly waved the registration form to Bai Liu and the others: "I got it!"

Guy took out two pens from his pocket, put the registration form in front of Bai Liu's spades, and guided them to register with a smile.

When Bai Liu just got the registration form, he noticed that there was something wrong with it - there was a place where the option had been crossed out in advance.

It is very obvious who made this fork.

Bai Liu looked at Guy, and he tapped the cross with a pen: "What is this? Can't I choose?"

The smile on Guy's face faded a bit: "This... this option is whether you are willing to join the commando."

"Commando?" Alex asked in a puzzled voice from behind Guy, "Has there been any organized raids recently? Why haven't I been notified?"

With a loudspeaker on the table, the person suddenly raised his voice: "Everyone, our general has assembled thousands of heavy artillery and pulled them to this town, and will continue to send them to the front line today. "

This man is emotional, spitting and waving his arms:

"I believe we all know that if we lose this rainy season, we will be buried in the hands of Pluto, the **** of death! The heavy rain in the past two days has already indicated that the enemy is likely to attack This rainy season has huge advantages.”

The noisy crowd below fell silent, and everyone turned their heads to look at the person standing on the table.

He continued on sadly: "Are we going to lose this war that is more about glory than this, and give up our free land to those shameless and unsatisfied people on the other side of the lake? ‌A slave?!"

"Aren't we giving them enough rights?!"

"Employing people from poor and backward areas like them, they are paid daily wages and three meals a day. They also demand that they own property, exchange their labor for land, and demand that they become our own. You are also a classy person!"

"This group of people who rely on us for food, dare to say that this group of people who rely on us to develop rich land is originally theirs, and we want us to return it to them!"

"Shameless!!" The man yelled loudly, with an angry expression on his face, "They really have to have a backbone. Why didn't they open their mouths to drive us out when we first started to help them develop?"

"After we signed the agreement and got their consent to own this land and turn this land into extremely rich, this greedy guy is going to fight The banner of ownership kicked us out!"

Guy explained to Bai Liu in a low voice: "This rainforest has a lot of wood, minerals and water resources, but the people living in this area are very poor, so we first found this land to be an official. / Members These residents signed an agreement to give them jobs and property in the next 100 years, so that they can have enough food every day and obtain permanent ownership of this piece of land.”

Bai Liu paused slightly.

He felt that what he did was black enough, but he didn't expect there to be even darker—exchanging the land he already had for cheaper labor.

This is no longer a lot of money, this is no money.

Guy sighed: "You can also see that this is a blank check, but the aborigines didn't realize it at first, and they really didn't even have enough to eat, so All agree."

“They built a large number of factories here, relying on the land and this labor force to obtain a lot of wealth, but the factory wages for residents are getting lower and lower, and the working hours are getting longer and longer , They took these residents less and less seriously, and even trampled these residents as slaves to make fun of them, and disputes broke out.”

"During the quarrel, an aboriginal resident killed a factory manager. In order to vent their anger, the factory manager, friends and relatives imprisoned all the aboriginal people involved in the dispute in an abandoned building. In the factory, a fire burned to death."

Guy was silent for a long time: "A week later, the war broke out."

"At that time, no one expected that they could fight for so long—these indigenous people knew the terrain very well, and many people in the international community were helping them, saying that it was It was a real war of liberation and freedom, and many volunteers from other countries joined them.”

Guy smiled desolately: "Hey, you can't believe it, I originally wanted to be their volunteer army, but before I signed up, my family sent me to the here."

Bai Liu's eyes stopped on the person who was still standing on the table and gave an impassioned commentary: "Is there another version of this story? I saw in the recruitment advertisement that the cause of the war is not like this." .”

"Yes." Guy looked at Bai Liu appreciatively, "The domestic official propaganda version is that they selflessly help the residents here get rid of poverty, gain access to culture, and people's freedom. , but was first attacked by this group of greedy and degenerate natives, and even killed a factory director who had selflessly helped them during the dispute.”

Guy looked at the recruitment advertisement posters scattered everywhere on the ground, and exhaled: "Do you know what the most complicated situation is? This recruitment advertisement did not tell lies, and the factory manager did. It's innocent."

"That's a very nice man." Gay looked nostalgic, "Although he is not from aristocratic background, but after coming here to see the situation, he wants to help these people from the bottom of his heart. People set up their own factories and get out of the control of those so-called [superior people].”

"He mingled with these aboriginal people, helped them with everything he had, even when he was opposed by his family and friends."

"But some natives didn't believe him, and felt that his hypocritical behavior was to further oppress them, so in the dispute, this person was killed by a person who had always held resentment towards him. It is suspected that the natives were shot to death."

"There is a lot of publicity about this matter in China, and many people came to this battlefield because of him—they feel angry and angry, and feel that such a good person should not die like this, including Alex. "

"They have a good heart, but they are a little naive. They thought they came here just to apologize, but the war is far more cruel than they imagined."

Guy was silent when he said this.

Bai Liu glanced at him: "You know this factory manager, right?"

"I can tell you, but this is a little secret between us, you can't let Alex know, he's jealous." Guy blinked and smiled I got up, but there was a smile on my face that couldn't hide the sadness, "He is my first love."

"I'm lucky. Both boyfriends are so good."

Some people on the table shouted loudly, overpowering Guy's voice: "In order to end this war that has lasted for a year and a half, sanction those greedy and low-spirited people before the rainy season fully arrives Enemy, two days later we organized a raid, for which we selected the best quality veterans and formed an elite assault team.”

"They will undertake the most dangerous assault charge after two days of shelling. Let us applaud the brave soldiers in this assault team!"

He took out a long list, and every time he read a name, a soldier stepped onto the high platform surrounded by cheers.

Guy looked at the list and waited quietly.

Alex seemed to realize something, he turned his head to look at Guy in disbelief, then turned his head abruptly, almost looking at the list with a look that would burn through the list.

"Guy Davis!"

Alex subconsciously grabbed Guy's arm. He looked at Guy with red eyes, his throat was dry, and he couldn't say a word.

Guy smiled and opened his hands finger by finger, and whispered softly in Alex's ear [the war is about to end, baby], ‌ Amidst the deafening screams and whistles, Guy walked through the bustling crowd onto the commando platform.

Alex chased Guy without thinking, but the cheering crowd blocked him, making it difficult for him to move.

People on the table applauded and said warmly: "Next, let us welcome the general to commend these brave people!"

A majestic middle-aged man clapped his hands and smiled amiably and walked up to the high platform in a brighter stand-up collar military uniform.

He rewarded these soldiers one by one—with a medal worth less than five cents, he hung it around the necks of the men who were about to die for him.

After hanging up, the handsome general turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Please remember their face, if they die, they are doing the most just thing in this world After all, they are the martyrs that all mankind should commemorate.”

"This assault was initiated by me. I know that this assault will bring very painful consequences, but it is to severely punish those inferior people..."

Alex gritted his teeth and looked at the eloquent general: "He suddenly launched this assault for his military exploits."

Bai Liu looked over and cast a questioning look.

Alex took a deep breath and tried to keep calm and explained to Bai Liu: "This general was born as a commoner, and he entered the military/political management by marrying the daughter of a high-ranking official. He has always been called a nobleman. The upper classes look down on them, but rely on continuous wars to secure their position.”

"But compared to war, I think he is better at politics/politics."

Alex looked up at Guy on the high platform, breathing heavily.

"The surprise attack was launched at this point in time just to make a good report after losing the battle. After all, the surprise attack caused casualties to the enemy before the loss, so we can take the tragic sacrifice of these veterans again Propaganda attracts more angry people to join the army."

Alex's eyes were red: "They have already deceived many people with such tricks."

The general on the stage continued to speak:

"They are the assault team that undertakes the most important mission, and only the most elite soldiers can enter..."

Someone raised their hand and asked: "Can't recruits enter?"

The general laughed: "No, but your enthusiasm is worthy of a reward. You can enter the second or third assault team and be responsible for mopping the tail - the soldiers in the first assault team need to be very high. ‌Comprehensive quality is the only way.”

A man raised his arm, the voice was not loud, but steady and penetrating: "I think I have such qualities."

Everyone's eyes are focused on the past.

This man is very tall, even among the soldiers who have been screened and enlisted, he is a head taller, and his hands are raised to be conspicuous, especially the one he holds in his hand. It is expensive to make a silver left/wheel.

Tang Erda raised his hands helplessly, he had just received an order from Bai Liu, asking him to join the First Assault Team, he might as well take the risk.

Bai Liu smiled at him from a distance, raised his hand and made a "Come on, I believe you can do it!" gesture.

Tang Erda: "..."

This person is really a bit of a spectator and doesn't think it's a big deal.

The general seemed dissatisfied that such a recruit provoked him, his voice and expression became gloomy: "--war is not a noble shooting/shooting game, you must go through a lot of training if you want to join the first assault team, at least, you ‌Master high-precision shooting skills.”

He glanced contemptuously and dissatisfied at the silver left/wheel in Tang Erda's hand - this kind of weapon is only worn by the children of big families who are free and rich Come to the battlefield.

"You have such a gun..." the general teased and sarcastically raised the medal in his hand dignifiedly, "boy, I understand your yearning for honor, but I feel that you ‌It can be more suitable for riding a female/horse to hit a fixed target ten centimeters away..."

Tang Er turned the gun and loaded it, lowered the dark goggles on his head, raised his hand with a condensed gaze, and shot the general on the stage, which pierced through exactly. The medal in his hand.

The general on the stage paused as if frozen, it took him a long time to let himself tremble, and his hands slowly loosened the pierced medal.

The medal landed, and everyone around looked at this recruit with outstanding guns/skills in shock.

Tang Er put away his gun lightly: "Am I qualified to join the assault team now?"

"-‌ Yes!" Guy on the stage blew a whistle as if to coax, he raised his eyebrows, scanned Tang Erda from top to bottom with his shining eyes, and laughed loudly. , "Good boy, your figure is as good as your gun/skills!"

Tang Erda hesitated for a moment, then calmly said thank you, and then heard the system prompt:

[System prompt: You need to increase the favorability of npc Guy in the story. 】

[System prompt: If the plot NPC Alex's favorability for you drops sharply, you will be excluded from the first-line quest]

Tang Er Da: "???"

What happened? ? ! Why was he excluded from important tasks? !

Tang Er turned his head to look at Bai Liu in the crowd in bewilderment, pointed at himself, then shook his head, indicating that he could not enter the first-line task.

Bai Liu's eyes slowly moved to Alex who was staring blankly at Tang Er hitting him.

Careless.
