Chapter 94 The mark of blood

  Linghu Wetland Park.

  By the nameless river, there are scorched earth and tree trunks all around.

  The previous fire had been extinguished, and the torches circled the open space, surrounding the twenty-nine dejected captives.

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

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

   "How soon will the manager come back?"

"have no idea."

   "Where's the wind?"

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

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

   It’s actually very convenient to log off the game. Except for logging off safely at the resurrection point, you can disconnect in any scene as long as you lose consciousness.

  Including but not limited to being knocked out, or falling asleep normally.

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

  Hearing that Kuang Feng actually went to class, Ye Shi asked doubtfully.

   "Isn't the PPT sending assistant?"

   "I don't know, maybe he can't let go of his students. Anyway, the regiment is over, I think he is out of his mind, so I might as well let him go offline first and forget about it. When he wakes up, he will be in our class."

  As the earliest old man in the herd, Lao Bai probably has the longest contact with the wind, and he is also the person in the herd who knows him best.

   "...Don't look at Kuang Feng who brags with you every day in the group. In reality, he is actually quite an honest and dull person, a group of dedicated workers who have no other hobbies except games."

  Ye Shi heheed.

   "To be honest, I didn't see it, but Mensao."

  Old Bai laughed.

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

  Ye Shi: "By the way...the offline game characters don't respond no matter what they do?"

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

  Ye Shi rolled his eyes.

   "I didn't want to do anything, I was just thinking... If we are all offline, wouldn't NPCs be able to do whatever they want with us in the training cabin?"

  Hearing this idea, both Lao Bai and Fang Chang choked on their saliva.

   "Poof."

"Cough! Well, don't use your dirty thoughts to speculate on others. Besides, this kind of groundless speculation has no meaning at all. You have neither evidence to prove nor evidence to falsify. Similar questions include but are not limited to aliens. Is it always with us? Is our world really a game? Does the science we know still work outside our 'horizon'? Unlimited suspicion is just asking for trouble, unless you can find solid evidence."

   "What's dirty! Can't you be curious? Why don't you just stand guard and be in a daze? And why is your preaching tone becoming more and more like a strong wind." Ye Shi rolled his eyes speechlessly.

  Fang Chang shrugged.

   "No, I just think that people who think about this problem are very problematic."

  Old Bai nodded in deep agreement and added a knife.

   "That's right, and I don't think anyone can do whatever they want with your body."

  Ye Shi: "I said what if! What if! Hey, I really have no common language with you old people."

  Fang Chang: "..."

  Old Bai: "..."

   At this time, Tomato Scrambled Egg and three other players came from a distance.

   Seizing the opportunity, Ye Shi immediately changed the subject.

   "Hey, Brother Chaodan, 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 Chaodan looked at the missing person, so he asked curiously, "Where's the wind?"

   "Dropped, there is something wrong in reality, we will carry it back to him in a while."

  Scrambled eggs nod in understanding.

   "Aww."

  Since someone changes shifts, it will be much more comfortable.

   I happened to be offline for a meal, and then came back to play after a break.

  Lao Bai carried the wind on his shoulders, and then handed over the matter of guarding the prisoners to Brother Chaodan and others, and then left with Ye Shi and Fang Chang.

   This time it's the turn of scrambled eggs and they are bored.

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

   "Sloppy, I knew that standing guard was so boring, I should go to the warehouse to buy some meat and charcoal to bring to roast."

   "Yeah, speaking of scrambled eggs, is rhinoceros delicious?"

   "Where have I ever eaten that thing..."

   "Aren't you a 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. It seems to start in five years and there is no cap. But there are probably no wild rhinos in China. You have to go to South Africa."

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

  The players are chatting.

  At this time, rustling sounds came from the nearby woods.

   A group of people immediately tensed up and held the guns in their hands, but soon they relaxed.

   Those who came were our own people.

   "How are the prisoners doing?"

   "They're still here, my lord manager."

"very good."

   Chu Guang nodded, looked at the players beside him and gave instructions.

   "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, 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 mines in Honghe Town Live the rest of your life."

  The mines in Honghe Town are not real mines, and most of them are the old sites of landfills.

   Only God knows what will be dug out of it, even if it is nuclear waste that was illegally buried.

  The slaves working there are consumables. Few of them can live beyond ten years, and even two or three years soon.

   But who cares?

   People die every day on the wasteland.

  All the dozing captives were woken up, more than 20 people were strung together by a rope, and the team was drawn into a long line.

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

  Walk four kilometers along the elevated highway out of the city, detour into a street, and soon arrive at the abandoned tire factory.

  Looking at the people standing on the wall of the old nest, the faces of these predators were ashen, and they all showed desperate expressions.

  In the camp, the liberated captives stood blankly in the open space, looking at the returning predators, instinctively afraid to run away.

  However, when they saw the rope tied to the predators and the soldiers pressing them down, these poor people became quiet again.

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

  The owner has changed here.

Released the "garrison mission" with high rewards, Chu Guang selected ten lucky players who raised their hands first to guard here, and then arranged for those players who raised their hands slowly to pack up the loot, and packed the loot with the ones they brought from the base. Carts and trolleys.

  According to his "contract" with Hein, all the spoils belong to him.

   After making these arrangements, Chu Guang walked up to Hai En, looked at the businessman who had made great achievements and said.

   "When are you going to leave?"

  Hain said respectfully.

   "I've sent Wen back. He's moving very quickly. He should be able to come back with what you want within four days."

   Chu Guang asked.

   "He alone?"

"Of course, a person is the fastest. He has my token on him, and it doesn't matter whether he is with me or not." The old and cunning businessman may have thought of something suddenly, and continued to add, "I I know what you are worried about, please rest assured, I am willing to stay with you as a hostage. Even if you don't trust my character, you should believe that I will not make fun of my own life."

  Chu Guang glanced at him with great interest.

   It's okay to know what I'm worrying about.

  I don’t even know it myself.

   "Whatever you want, I have neither believed in your character nor cared about your cleverness. I plan to return to the outpost later. Do you plan 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.

  These trophies cannot be moved in one trip, and they have to come several times during the day.

  All day tomorrow, the players are busy with things.

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

   Raiders are usually not very hygienic. There is a rotten stench in the stockade. Normal people can't stay there. Only rats and cockroaches like it.

   Chu Guang nodded, said nothing, and gestured to the players beside him who were pulling carts and carts were ready.

   "Let's go."

   "Bring our spoils."

"go home!"

  …

   It was already 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 smears of misty white.

   Except for the guards standing guard on the fence, and a few professional players who are busy in the industrial area, 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 empty rooms in the main building of the nursing home and lent them to Hai En and his female bodyguard.

   Then Chu Guang instructed Luka, who had just woken up, to stare at them a little bit, and then returned to the refuge with Xiao Qi in his arms.

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

  The door closes.

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

  This is the collection he found in "Bear"'s room.

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

  However, to Chu Guang's surprise, when he opened the title page of the notebook, he found that what was recorded in 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... In other words, this diary was written in the first year of the wasteland era?"

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

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

  Maybe this diary can bring me a little clue.

  With a trace of curiosity to visit ancient sites, Chu Guang looked at the first line under the date label by the soft light in the room.

   That is a very intriguing sentence.

  【…I survived that day. 】
