Chapter 478 Do you want Fang Chang to come up with bad ideas?

   On the tracked vehicle.

   Medics and mechanical engineers are busy treating injured teammates.

  Looking at the captain who hung up the phone, the deputy team sitting in the driver's seat immediately asked.

   "What did the superior say?"

  His name is Song Changfeng, and familiar team members call him Lao Song. A long time ago, this old man worked in the Beacon team.

  Zheng Hao was silent for a while, and then spoke.

   "The original mission was cancelled. The Containment Planning Team of the Investigation Department asked us to stand by near the crash site. If the other party moves, follow them, but don't act rashly to avoid a firefight..."

   Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

  Lao Song asked cautiously.

   "How close?"

   “Let us decide.”

   Hearing this sentence, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

   Except Lao Song.

   Seeing that the captain didn't have anything to say, he continued to ask anxiously.

   "Where are the reinforcements?"

  Zheng Hao looked at the reeds outside the window.

   "Didn't say."

   The tracked vehicle was quiet, and it fell into silence again.

  Although the superior did not say it clearly, it was obvious that they had abandoned them, as well as those captured prisoners.

   As for the reason...

   Not saying it means that they don't need to know with their authority.

  The medical soldier bandaged the wounded on the stretcher in silence, and replaced the spare prosthetic body. He had seen too many such situations.

  Song Changfeng punched the steering wheel hard.

"Oh shit!"

  Sitting in the back row, Jiang Xuezhou slowly closed his eyes, lowered his head and said softly.

   "I said...we didn't have to fight."

  Zheng Hao silently lit a cigarette, and replied lightly.

   "Do you think I have a choice?"

   He was right to give the order to attack, but it was not his own arbitrary decision.

   It's just that it's impossible for him to tell his teammates what the specific tasks assigned to him by his superiors are.

  In the academy, it is a serious violation of discipline for senior personnel to disclose information that does not match the authority to "unauthorized" low-level personnel, and will be punished regardless of whether it causes substantial impact.

  All units only understand the information they need to know in order to ensure the efficient operation of the entire system. In order to avoid mistakes, high-level personnel will even reduce communication with low-level personnel.

  He doesn't care if the rules make sense.

  In the academy, even the lowest level G-level personnel and even newly accepted apprentices can live a prosperous life in the ivory tower built by the academy with the standard of "academic preferential treatment".

  For the survivors born in the wandering swamp, becoming a prospector of the college is almost the only way to get rid of ignorance, poverty and barbarism.

  Although the science and technology committee led by the college gave them some advanced technology, it was not free.

  Although many survivor settlements have obtained relatively advanced production technology, the improved productivity has not enriched their material and spiritual life.

  Honestly speaking, Zheng Hao no longer yearns for that ivory tower as much as he did when he was a child, and he has already passed the age of receiving higher education.

  If he can't pass the professional assessment, he can't become a researcher. As a prospector, the highest level in his life is D-level.

  But it is absolutely impossible for him to accept returning to the original survivor settlement and living the life of a primitive person.

   Therefore he cannot make mistakes anyway.

   It’s not easy to get to this point, at least you have to keep your D-class status.

  He doesn't like the road under his feet.

   But since you have chosen, you have to accept it.

  …

  Since the Beta0.4 update, Chu Guang saw that players had good feedback on the new function of submitting and receiving tasks on the official website, so he asked Xiaoqi to further update this function.

  Now players can not only receive and submit tasks on the official website task interface, but can even update the task status in real time in the text dialog box of the task window.

  This function is not mandatory, but only provides players with more options when the original task is difficult or almost impossible to complete.

   After all, in the wild where the alliance signal cannot reach, any unexpected situation is possible.

  Chu Guang is very clear that he is just an ordinary person, not an all-knowing and omnipotent god, and it is impossible to perfectly predict every possible situation.

   And limited energy does not allow him to do so.

   Sometimes Chu Guang himself would be in a daze for two or three seconds, not to mention the dumbfounded faces of the players.

   Like now...

  Chu Guang was in a dazed state.

  He just sent someone to the edge of Luoxia Province to pick up a mother.

  Why did you provoke the school?

  Although it wasn't his plane that fell, the war in Luoxia province is now at a critical stage. It might not be a good idea to provoke the academy before the legion's problem is resolved.

  Besides saying "good job", he really couldn't think of how to respond to the little player who went to the official website to "report".

   But he did it for half a minute in a daze, and soon Chu Guang thought about it, and found that things might not be as bad as he imagined.

  A certain wanted D-class has been living with him for almost a year, and he hasn't seen a second wave of bounty hunters coming to ask for his head.

  It’s just a few E-level personnel, but they still died on the wasteland. The college with a big family and a big business may not really take it seriously.

   What really caught Chu Guang's attention was another matter.

   "...Is it for Xiaohan?"

  Chu Guang pressed the center of his eyebrows, thinking about countermeasures.

   Xiaoyu is the key to solving the brood nest on the B6 floor, and it cannot be handed over anyway. It must be transferred from the power projection range of the college to a safe place as soon as possible before the high-level college makes a decision.

  However, the trouble now is that on the one hand, the company does not want the pilot to have an accident, and on the other hand, it is unwilling to bear the risk of rescue failure.

  They want the alliance to send airborne troops to rescue people.

  However, Chu Guang wanted to express—

  Then at least you send some more transport planes over here!

  The airborne troops of the alliance can set off at any time, but it is impossible to fly more than a thousand kilometers away by themselves, and then run back on two legs.

  This is too silly!

   At this moment, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the desk, raised her head and said in a pleasant voice.

   "Master, the representative of the company has just arrived at the airport, and he wants to see you."

  Chu Guang thought for a moment, then said.

   "Let him come up."

"okay."

  The Heart of Iron lowered the elevator.

   Yi Chuan, who had just got off the transport plane, soon came to the Heart of Steel.

  Hearing footsteps from outside the door, Chu Guang picked up Xiao Qi who was sitting on the desk, and stuffed it into the drawer regardless of the latter's aggrieved voice.

  Almost at the same time, there was a knock on the door.

   Chu Guang cleared his throat and said.

   "Come in."

  The door was pushed open, and Yi Chuan walked in in a hurry, without even saying a word of greeting, he went straight to the point and said.

   "Any updates from our pilot?"

  Chu Guang: "I assure you, both of you are fine."

  Yi Chuan immediately asked with fiery eyes.

   "Can you get in touch with them?"

  Chu Guang subtly moved his eyes away.

"It's not very accurate to say that we can get in touch... But we do have an indirect long-distance communication method, which can transmit some vague information, similar to your homing pigeons, but there is no way for you to communicate with the two pilots face to face. gone."

   When explaining this problem, Chu Guang had a very headache. To be honest, no one would believe him, but he really couldn't make up any reliable reasons.

  The Burning Corps actually carried a radio with super power, which could even break through the environmental restrictions of Luoxia Province?

joke.

  He stuffed something on the plane of the enterprise, can the enterprise not know?

  Hearing this vague statement, Yi Chuan frowned, but did not continue to dwell on this issue.

  Everyone has their own secrets.

  It is neither realistic nor polite to unilaterally ask the other party to confess.

   Taking a deep breath, he stared at Chu Guang and returned to the topic.

"The spokesperson of the Supreme Council has previously promised to the public that our non-combatants will not be on the front line, but in fact we have crossed the line for you several times... including before at Camp 530, including before at No. 7 roads, including—”

  Chu Guang coughed lightly.

   "Compared to breaking the bottom line, I prefer to call it flexible, and every time I have made unexpected progress, right?"

   "But not this time!" Yi Chuan continued with a stiff expression, "Our two pilots fell on the edge of the wandering swamp! You promised me that those non-combatants will not be in danger!"

   Chu Guang explained.

   "Anything can happen on the battlefield, not to mention that it is outside the battlefield. Who knows that people from the academy will suddenly attack your plane. At least our soldiers have saved your pilot."

  Yi Chuan's expression froze.

   "College?"

  Chu Guang did not say kindly in a soft voice.

   "Besides the academy, who else can shoot down your plane without anyone noticing it? You can ask your pilots about this...after they come back."

  In fact, he has more direct evidence to prove that the academy shot down their plane, for example, the simplest is the four captives captured by the players.

  However, he was not sure about the company's attitude towards the academy.

  The fact that the life of a pilot is very important does not conflict with the prudent diplomatic strategy of the company. One is the consideration of interests, and the other is the consideration of risks.

  Personal feelings may be remembered in three seconds, but collective decision-making must be a consideration after weighing multiple factors.

  So he planned to test the attitude of his allies first.

  Yi Chuan was silent for a while, as if he didn't intend to talk more about this issue.

   "...Leaving aside the matter of the academy, in any case, you must ensure that the safety of our pilots is the first priority."

   Seeing Yi Chuan's expression, Chu Guang slightly raised his eyebrows.

  What surprised him was that the representative of the company didn't react too much to this, and the expression seemed... not even too surprised?

   It seems that there should be a lot of friction between colleges and enterprises.

   But thinking about it, the world is so vast, and Luoxia Province is not the only place. Maybe it is not impossible for colleges and enterprises to have entanglements in other areas that they don't know about.

   Realizing that the company probably didn't want to make extra troubles on the issue of the academy, Chu Guang didn't continue to fight, but returned to the issue of rescuing the pilots.

  Looking at Yi Chuan with a serious face, Chu Guang said righteously.

   "Mr. Yi Chuan, do you mean that the safety of the alliance residents is not important? I must remind you that we are allies in the same trench as you, not your employees."

"I didn't mean that," seeing that Chu Guang misunderstood what he meant, Yi Chuan quickly explained, dumbfounded, "every life is important, and of course the residents of the alliance are too... don't go around in circles, let me just say it straight, the council Ideal City residents were promised not to put non-combatants at risk, but the reporter for Ideal City Daily got wind of it out of nowhere and insisted that we put our employees at risk outside of their employment contracts."

  Chu Guang asked impatiently: "What can they do if they know?"

  The seats on the council are not elected by voting. He wanted to complain about these forward-looking guys before.

  "Negative news can affect our stock price. The stock price is the support of the residents of Ideal City. This involves Cr...that is, the essence of credit points."

  Yi Chuan continued with a wry smile, "In short, credit is a sensitive issue for us... You don't want our aid to you to be affected, do you?"

  Chu Guang took a deep breath and slowly calmed down his emotions.

   "I also want them to go home quickly, so please send two more... no, four planes over here immediately! I can immediately send a centurion from the front line to deploy to the north!"

  Yi Chuan: "But the problem is, what if we are shot down again?!"

   "Then let it land on oasis No. 8! The desert is the range of our power projection!"

  Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and swiped in the air, pushing the prepared holographic map in front of Yi Chuan.

   "I will ask my subordinates to send your pilots to the boarding point safely...of course, including ours."

  Looking at the punctuated positions on the map, Yi Chuan's face was full of embarrassment.

  However, it was obvious that he couldn't think of a better alternative to Chu Guang's proposal, and finally chose to take a step back.

   "Okay, I'll go and convince our people that the boarding location is in Luoxia Province... there should be no problem."

  The Alliance has enough influence in Luoxia Province, even if the Golden Lizard Kingdom is a vassal of the academy, it may not dare to do anything to their planes.

   And that native kingdom...

   Presumably they also don't have the ability to shoot down their planes like the academy.

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "Go, our people are ready to go."

  Watching Yi Chuan leaving the captain's office, Chu Guang frowned slightly, and leaned his head on the back of the chair and muttered to himself.

   "It should be fine this way."

  For those cute little players, his plan to be both an NPC and a father is really heartbreaking.

   He was almost forced from a salesman to a nanny.

  At this moment, the drawer opened a crack, revealing a pitiful face the size of a thumb.

   "Woo...Master, is Xiao Qi so shameless?"

   This guy changed his voice deliberately to pretend to be pitiful.

   Chu Guang coughed.

   "It's nothing like that, it's just... I'm the manager of the alliance anyway, and I represent the image of the alliance. When I meet with foreign guests, it's not very good to put a figure on the table."

   Players forget it.

  He never cared about how those outspoken guys arrange themselves on the forum, as long as they don't draw their own scripts.

   But the company is an outsider in the final analysis, and he doesn't want to hear rumors that damage his prestige in Ideal City, adding unnecessary risks to the cooperation between the company and the alliance.

  Xiao Qi, who was lying in the drawer, tilted her head.

   "But Xiao Qi feels that they seem to be quite avant-garde on the issue of AI... shouldn't they care?"

  Chu Guang said with a straight face.

"I care."

  Xiao Qi: "Woo..."

  Although he knew that the grievance was simulated, Chu Guang still sighed, and couldn't bear to stretch out his index finger to rub its little head.

   "Sorry, I may have been a little rude just now, next time I'll ask someone to get you a special seat on the table with the back facing the door..."

   "Hee hee, no need, Xiao Qi is very happy if the master has this heart! Xiao Qi is the master's assistant, Xiao Qi is very sensible, and will not cause trouble to the master."

  The expression of grievance suddenly disappeared from the doll's face, and the smile on the small and exquisite face was like a rainbow after the rain.

  As Chu Guang guessed, this guy's expression was really fake, after all, how could there be so many expressions in the "trash basket".

  Chu Guang couldn't help feeling helpless.

  The world has become like this. God knows why the first-generation manager added a bunch of redundant functions to his AI assistant that would increase communication costs.

   Although he doesn't hate it.

  Xiao Qi, with her hands on the side of the drawer, didn't know what the owner in front of her was thinking at the moment, she put her chin on the back of her hands, and blinked humanly.

   "Master, can you agree to Xiaoqi's small request?"

   "Speak."

  Xiao Qi said a little shyly.

   "Well... can you not put Xiaoqi in the dark drawer next time, but put it in your pocket as usual?"

   Does it make a difference?

  I didn't have a light bulb in my pocket, and it was also pitch black.

  Although he was curious, Chu Guang didn't ask the bottom line.

  Maybe AI also has its own difficulties.

   This is not a difficult thing for him to satisfy.

   Stretched out his index finger and rubbed its little head, Chu Guang smiled gently and said.

   "Well, I promise."

  …

  The intersection of Wandering Swamp and Luoxia Province.

  Lao Bai, who had just returned to the line, summoned the players in the temporary camp.

"new task!"

   "The command asked us to take the pilots and the captives of the academy and head towards the north of Luoxia Province. We will board the plane at the No. 8 oasis, and there will be reinforcements to join us at that time."

   "What about this plane?" Ye Shi pointed to the two pilots not far away who were thinking about how to fix the plane.

  Old Bai shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.

   "It seems that there is no hope."

  When that guy understands the instruction manual, the regular army of the college might be surrounded.

   I heard that the Academy also has its own armed forces, and there are many vassals attached to the Academy in the Wandering Swamp.

  In order to replace the expensive bionic prosthetic body, many bounty hunters and mercenaries are willing to accept jobs from the academy.

  Although I am not afraid of those guys, it will be a problem after all if there are too many of them.

  Besides, compared with the straight-forward legion, the academy's equipment is too fancy, making it difficult to guard against.

  Looking at the transport plane, Ye Shiyi said with a sad expression on his face.

   "It's a pity that such a good plane blows up..."

  Gust gave him a sideways look.

   "What? Are you going to carry it back?"

  Ye Shi looked at Luo Yu beside him who also looked reluctant.

   Noticing Ye Shi's gaze, Luo Yu froze for a moment, and said with a wry smile.

   "Look what I'm doing...I can't fix this thing."

  Ye Shi said with a smile.

   "It's not for you to repair, isn't your Xiaoyu able to give birth to children like other mothers? It's the evolutionary body we saw in the center of Qingquan... see if you can make it come out as a whole."

   "No way," Luo Yu shook his head, "Xiao Yu is different from Qingquan City's brood, it cannot be attached to mechanical parts."

  Ye Shi asked in a daze.

   "Then how does it fly the plane?"

  Luo Yu thought about it and gave his own opinion.

   "The Dragonfly transport plane...probably because it inherited part of my experience. In the case of Eagle fighter jets, it may have assimilated the opponent's pilot."

   "So in essence, its subentity is not assimilating the machine into a part of the body, but 'driving' the machine that is still working through its own experience... Am I right?" Kuang Feng summed it up sharply.

   Luo Yu immediately nodded.

   "Yes, that's what it means."

  Guang Feng touched the bridge of his nose.

   "Then there is probably nothing to do."

  To give a popular example, Xiaoyu's ability is to sit in the driver's seat and drive, while the brood in Qingquan City is to carry the car on its shoulders and run.

   It is also an organism-driven machine, but as long as you are not blind, you can see the difference between the two.

  The idea of ​​using slime mold to swallow the plane seems unworkable, and it is even more unrealistic to let the power system carry the plane away.

  There are nearly 200 kilometers of mountain roads away from the No. 8 oasis.

   Carrying such a large transport plane back home, and walking over mountains and ridges, it is not a strength animal, and Gao Low is also a Kryptonian.

  However, Ye Shi did not give up just yet.

  Rolling his eyeballs, his heart suddenly moved.

   "Do you want Fang Chang to come up with bad ideas?"

  The murderous dagger's eyes lit up.

   "I feel OK!"

  The dog raised his hand excitedly after picking up a good name.

   "+1, elder brother Fang must have a solution!"

   This guy has planned PY with the dog, so he must know some inside information about the game that ordinary people don't know.

   Seeing so many people supporting him, Ye Shi immediately took action and hid the VM of the quit smoking man in a nearby bush as a locator.

   This thing needs to verify DNA information to unlock it, and I don’t worry about being picked up by someone.

   Besides, this thing is just a terminal, and there will be no sensitive things stored in it.

   Clapping his hands and standing up, Ye Shi looked at the stunned wind, and laughed.

   "It's done! I'll be offline in a while and I'll go to the forum to talk to Ait Fangchang."

  Guang Feng calmed down and said seriously.

   "I don't think Chang Fang may have a solution."

   "How do you know if you don't try it? If you don't have it, let it go. At worst, let's quit smoking and buy a VM." Ye Shi patted Fengfeng's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go, go to work!"

  …

  After confirming the new task for the transfer, Lao Bai separated two teams and went to the crash site of the Eagle fighter and the Dragonfly transport plane respectively.

  Recovered a sample of fruiting entities there.

   A group of people packed their things and prepared to evacuate.

  The prisoner named Wu Liangping was seriously injured and unconscious, and was stuffed into the cryogenic stasis cabin. The bionic man before that was put in a body bag and wrapped with a layer of tinfoil with tape.

  Seeing that these people were going to take him away, Zhao Xiao suddenly became nervous.

   "Where are you taking us?"

   "It has nothing to do with you, just follow along." Ye Shi poked his back with a pistol and said with a playful smile.

  Zhao Xiao said with nervous eyes.

   "You'd better let us go, this place is on the edge of the wandering swamp... You can't get out of here with us."

   This kind of innocence and stubbornness is not enough to make people angry.

  Ye Shi, who was holding him, laughed and joked.

   "It's impossible to go out and it's okay. With all due respect, at your level just now, no matter how many times you come again, you will give away your head."

  Zhao Xiao blushed and said indignantly.

   "We are an exploration team, but... not a regular army! And... let me tell you, we are official prospectors, and we are E-level! The academy can't leave us alone!"

   And it's still E-level, which is okay.

   Is there F and G below E level?

   Judging by his expression, it seems that he really is.

  But Yeye Shi didn't take it to heart.

   So what?

"Stop bragging, being cannon fodder and showing self-confidence," Ye Shi lazily said, "And if it's what you said, it's even more impossible for us to let you go, or we won't let you go until your reinforcements arrive. Who's the cover?"

   "You bastard..."

  Zhao Xiao wanted to say something with a red face, but Chen Yutong, who had been silent beside him, finally couldn't hold back anymore and stopped him.

   "Zhao Xiao... that's enough, stop talking."

   Going on, she was afraid that these people would change their minds and just bury them on the spot.

  The reminder from his teammates seemed to have some effect. Finally, the young man realized his position and shut up.

  Ye Shi didn't bother to talk to him.

   This guy always reminds him of when he was young and naive.

  Although he is not very old now.

  …

  After half a day of running around, the group of people had left the range of the Wandering Swamp and arrived at the edge of the mountains in the northern part of Luoxia Province.

   There are many alien species active here that no one has ever seen in the River Valley Province, but fortunately, there are not many of them, and there is no danger.

   It is too dangerous to drive at night in areas with xenomorph activities.

  Lao Bai chose a place with a relatively good view to camp, some people stayed to watch the midnight, and some people went offline to eat.

  Official website forum.

  As soon as it went online, Ye Shi couldn't wait to post a post, for fear of being preempted by his teammates.

   "Big news! The academy shot down the corporate plane!"

  Although things like "stealing an airplane" can be said in a small group, discussing it in a small group is not as interesting as discussing it with everyone.

   Ye Wei swears.

   This is definitely not for showing off or pretending.

   Mainly for "brainstorming".

  As he expected, almost at the same time as the post was posted, a refresh time instantly gained hundreds or thousands of clicks.

  Tail: "giao?!"

  Sisi: "Really?!"

   Picking up garbage level 99: "??? You opened the map of the north just as soon as I went to the south?"

  Smoking quitting within 24 hours of just being offline also popped up, and the thinking is also offline as always.

   "Fuck?! Is this going to war with the academy again?"

  (end of this chapter)
