Chapter 94 The Mark of Blood

  Linghu Wetland Park.

   An unnamed river, surrounded by burnt dirt and tree trunks.

   The previous fire had been extinguished, and the torches circled the clearing, enclosing twenty-nine dejected prisoners in the middle.

   It's already midnight, and it will be dawn in a few hours.

   Ye Shi, who was standing beside him, yawned and looked at Lao Bai.

   "How long does it take for the manager to come back?"

"do not know."

   "What about the wind?"

   Fang Chang pointed with his chin to the half-dug cave by the river.

   "He had class in the afternoon and fell asleep there."

  This game is actually quite convenient to log off. Except for the safe logoff at the resurrection point, any scene can be disconnected as long as you lose consciousness.

   includes but is not limited to being knocked unconscious, or falling asleep normally.

   It’s just that this method can’t save the progress of the gene sequence.

   Hearing Gu Feng actually went to class, Ye Shi asked suspiciously.

   "Isn't that a PPT assistant?"

   "I don't know, maybe he can't let go of his students. Anyway, the regiment is over. I see that he's in a bad mood, so I'll just let him go offline first. When he wakes up, he will just take our class."

  As the oldest old man in the group of cattle and horses, Lao Bai is probably the one who has been in contact with Gu Feng the longest, and is also the one who knows him best in the group.

   "... Don't look at Gu Feng's usual bragging rights with you in the group every day, in reality, it's actually quite old and hard-working alone, and a group of dedicated workers have no other hobbies than games."

   Ye Shi hehe.

   "I honestly didn't see it, it's boring."

   Lao Bai smiled.

   "Haha, you can hurt him while he's not online!"

  Ye Ten: "Speaking of...the game characters after going offline, no matter how you try to make them, they don't respond?"

   "Probably, so logging out of the non-safe area is actually quite dangerous, if no one is watching," Fang Chang glanced at Ye Eleven, "What do you want to do."

  Yeju's eyes rolled.

   "I didn't want to do anything, I just thought... If we all go offline, wouldn't the NPC do whatever they want to us in the training cabin?"

   Hearing this brain hole, both Lao Bai and Fang Chang choked on saliva.

   "Pfft."

"Cough! Well, don't use your dirty thoughts to speculate about others. Besides, this kind of groundless speculation has no meaning at all, you have neither evidence to prove, nor evidence to falsify. Similar issues include but are not limited to aliens. Is it around us all the time? Is our world actually a game? Is the science as we know it still valid beyond our 'horizon'? Unlimited suspicion is just asking for trouble unless you can find solid evidence."

   "What is filthy? Can't you be curious? What are you doing when you're not standing guard, dazed? And why is your preaching tone more and more like a gust of wind." Ye Shi rolled his eyes speechlessly.

   Fang Chang shrugged.

   "No, it's just that people who simply think about this problem are very problematic."

  Old Bai nodded in agreement and made up for it.

   "Yes, and I don't think anyone should do anything with your body."

  Ye Ten: "I said what if! What if! Hey, I really don't have a common language with you old people."

  Square length: "..."

  Old Bai: "..."

   At this time, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and three other players came from a distance.

   Seizing the opportunity, Ye Shi immediately changed the subject.

   "Yo, scrambled egg brother, why are you here?"

   "I'm here to change shifts, didn't the manager say that I'll be on duty after two o'clock?" Brother Scrambled Egg saw that there was no one, so he asked curiously, "Where's the wind?"

   "Dropped the line, something in reality, we'll carry it back to him later."

   Scrambled eggs means nodding in understanding.

   "Ow."

  Since there are people changing shifts, it will be more comfortable.

   Just off the assembly line for a meal, and come back to play after a break.

   Lao Bai carried Gu Feng on his shoulders, and then explained the matter of guarding the prisoners to Brother Scrambled Egg and the others, and then left with Ye Shi and Fang Chang.

   This time it was their turn to scramble eggs and they were bored.

  The four little players stood guard with serious faces at first, but seeing that the captives were all asleep, they also stood and chatted together to pass the time.

   "It's sloppy, I knew that standing on guard is so boring, it's time to go to the warehouse to buy some meat and charcoal to grill."

   "Yeah, scrambled eggs, is rhino meat delicious?"

   "I've never eaten that stuff before..."

   "Aren't you the cook?"

   "Which restaurant dares to do this???"

   "I heard that rhinos belong to the CITES Appendix I species of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

   "...Cough, there should be no problem in the game, right?"

  The players are chatting.

   At this time, the sound of rustling came from the woods on the side.

   A group of people immediately tightened their nerves and grabbed the guns in their hands, but soon, they relaxed.

   It's my own people.

   "How are the prisoners?"

   "It's all still here, esteemed administrator."

"very good."

  Chu Guang nodded, looked at a few players beside him and said.

   "Bring these people on."

   A player on duty said excitedly.

   "Take it back and hang it?"

   They do it all the time!

   However, the manager seems to have a new idea this time.

"Take them to the abandoned tire factory four kilometers away, where there is a dungeon they built themselves," Chu Guang glanced at the villains and said lightly, "Death is too cheap for them, they will be in the mine in Honghe Town. Live the rest of your life."

  The mines in Honghe Township are not real mines, most of them are the former sites of landfills.

  Only God knows what will be dug out of it, even if it is dug up nuclear waste that has been illegally landfilled.

  The slaves working there are all consumables, very few people can live more than ten years, even two or three years soon.

   But who cares?

  The wasteland is dying every day.

   The dozing prisoners were all woken up, more than 20 people were strung with a rope, and the leader of the line was the leader.

   There are a dozen or so players holding guns and pressing them, and they are not afraid of these people running away.

   walked four kilometers along the out-of-the-city elevated road, detoured into a street, and soon arrived at an abandoned tire factory.

   Seeing that people were already standing on the fence of the old lair, the faces of these plunderers were ashen, and they showed expressions of despair.

  In the camp, the freed captives stood blankly in the open space, watching the looters returning to their homes, and instinctively wanted to escape.

   However, when they saw the ropes tied to the plunderers and the warriors who were holding them down, the poor people became quiet again.

   Even if they are not smart, they can see it.

  The owner has changed here.

The high-reward "Garrison Mission" was released. Chu Guang selected ten lucky players who raised their hands first to stay here, and then arranged for those players who were slow to raise their hands to collect their loot and packaged the loot brought from the base. Carts and trolleys.

  According to his "contract" with Hayne, all the spoils belonged to him.

   After making these arrangements, Chu Guang then walked in front of Haen, looking at the businessman who had made great contributions and said.

   "When are you going to leave?"

  Hain said respectfully.

   "I have sent Wen back. He moves very fast. He should be able to come back with what you want within four days."

  Chu Guang asked.

   "He's alone?"

"Of course, a person is the fastest. He has my token on his body, it's the same with or without me," the cunning businessman may have suddenly thought of something, and he continued to add, "I I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I'm willing to stay with you as a hostage. Even if you don't trust my character, you should trust that I won't make fun of my own life."

  Chu Guang glanced at him with interest.

   It’s okay to know what I’m worried about.

  I don't know it myself.

   "As you wish, I didn't believe in your character, and I didn't care about your cleverness. I'm going back to the outpost in a while, are you going to stay here? Or go back with me?"

   In the base, he left ten players to watch, in groups of five, divided into two groups of shifts. Basically, two people stand in the dungeon, and three people stand on the wall and the door, which is more than enough to keep the prisoners at bay.

   These spoils cannot be carried in one trip, and there are several more trips during the day.

  Tomorrow all day, players are busy with things.

   "I'll go back with you," after only one second to make a judgment, Hein said immediately, "I don't want to stay here for a second."

   The predators are usually not very hygienic, and the stockade is filled with a rotten stench. Normal people can't stay there, only mice and cockroaches like it.

  Chu Guang nodded, said nothing, and made a gesture to the players who were pulling the carts and the carts were ready.

   "Let's go."

   "Bring our booty."

"go home!"

  …

   It was four o'clock in the morning when we returned to the outpost.

   Looking through the gaps in the forest, you can already vaguely see a few misty whites.

   Aside from the guards standing guard on the fence, and a few professional life players busy in the industrial zone, there are basically not many people in the base.

   But wait a little longer and there will be more people.

  Chu Guang randomly found two vacant rooms in the main building of the sanatorium and lent them to Haen and his female bodyguard.

   Then Chu Guang instructed Luca, who had just woken up, to stare at the two of them a little, and then returned to the shelter with Xiaoqi in his arms.

   Put Xiaoqi in the corner to charge, and told it to call Xia Yan to work on time tomorrow, but don't let her disturb him, and then turned back to his room.

  The door closed.

  Chu Guang sat on the soft bed and took out a yellowed notebook from his pocket.

   This is what he found in the "Bear" room.

  Because a **** handprint was printed on the cover of the notebook, Chu Guang thought that it should be some kind of token of the Bloody Hand clan, so he curiously stuffed it into his pocket.

   However, what Chu Guang didn't expect was that when he opened the title page of the notebook, he found that it was not the weird customs or traditions he imagined, but just a simple diary.

  【January 2, 2129】

   "The war ended at the end of 2128, 2129... That is to say, this diary was written in the first year of the Wasteland Era?"

  Chu Guang is very sensitive to numbers, and he will never forget after seeing it.

  Speaking of which, in all the information he has collected so far, there is no news about that war.

   Maybe this diary can give me some clues.

   With a hint of curiosity about searching for historical sites, Chu Guang looked at the first row under the date label by using the soft light in the room.

   That is a very intriguing sentence.

  【...that day, I survived. 】
