This Game is Too Real

   in the vast valley.

   Escorted by more than 100 heavily armed soldiers, the mighty alliance mission of hundreds of people moved towards the depths of the valley.

   "・・・・・・・・ is the city of origin! The capital of the Great Rift Valley, the destination of our trip!"

The man who spoke    was wearing gray power armor, which looked a bit similar to the dragoon power armor in the NPC shop, but it was completely different on closer inspection.

   His name is Ma Kai, and he is the captain of a patrol nearby.

   When he heard that the alliance's mission was carrying the legion's prisoners, he immediately volunteered to serve as the **** guide.

   Since the Legion had only fought a battle last year, the vast majority of people in the Great Rift Valley did not have a good eye for the Legion.

   At least they are the soldiers.

   Then the enemy of the enemy is naturally a friend!

   Aware of those unkind gazes, Antonette's eyes were filled with tension, and her face had been white as if it had been painted with paint just now.

   It was Piman, the commander of Camp 530 who was captured with him, with a calm expression on his face at the moment.

   doesn't look like a prisoner, but rather like an outing accompanied by a group of security hammers.

   "...Relax, my friend, we've reached the Great Rift Valley, nothing to fear."

  Antonette glanced at him and said nervously.

"What's the meaning?"

  Piman coughed lightly and replied in a very soft voice.

   "It literally means that the most dangerous part of the road has passed."

   The one who most wants them to die is undoubtedly the Bugra Free State.

   After all, if they are allowed to go to the Great Rift Valley, the business of those traders and legions will definitely not be possible.

   And the Alliance definitely doesn't want them to die, including the Great Rift Valley, but at best they are locked up for interrogation, and the answer is whatever they ask.

   In fact, along the way, they encountered at least five or six attacks.

   It's just that the soldiers of the Alliance are really ruthless. They just fought against them at Camp 530, and they traveled nearly a thousand kilometers all the way. When they left the supply line, their combat effectiveness was not affected at all.

"be honest!"

   The two prisoners were whispering there, and the soldier next to them immediately glared at them, and then looked at their comrades.

   "Separate these two guys." "Yes!"

   The recruit with the gun nodded and was about to step forward, but before he could get there, Piman consciously slowed down.

With    footsteps, he left Antonette's side. front of the team.

   Walking next to Ma Kai was an ambassador from the alliance named Wu Huaide.

   This dear friend used to be Shuyu's secretary at the Union Embassy in Boulder City. After Shuyu was transferred to Boulder City, he managed the embassy-related work for a period of time, and then he was transferred back to the Union to serve in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

  This mission to the Great Rift Valley was the first time he represented the Alliance as an ambassador, and his expression and words were somewhat restrained.

   But that's not a bad thing in manager's parlance.

  The strength of the Great Rift Valley might be on the same level as the Enterprise Legion, and unlike them, it is in the River Valley Province. …

   For the first meeting with a strong neighbor at your doorstep, it is better to adopt a cautious diplomatic attitude.

   "Before I came here, I thought the Great Rift Valley was just a valley, but I didn't expect my imagination to be conservative." As he spoke, Wu Huaide sighed in his heart.

  Ma Kai smiled.

   "Haha, you're right, this is a valley, but it stretches for hundreds of kilometers and looks a little bigger."

Is    just bigger?

   The players who followed around couldn't help but complain.

   It took them two full days to get here from the northern part of the valley province, and another half day to get here from the edge of the valley.

   It's too bad not to be able to travel fast!

   "Speaking of which, does the name Origin City have any special meaning?"

   Hearing the ambassador's question, Ma Kai replied with a smile.

   "No special meaning, just because this is where it all started."

   "Where it all started?"

  Wu Huaide didn't quite understand it, and when he was about to ask in detail, he had already arrived at his destination.

In front of    is a towering giant gate.

   It was more like a dam than a door, embedded in the very center of the valley.

   The crowd of hundreds of people stood in front of the giant gate, like ants under a big tree.

  The construction site boy and Brick looked up and looked around, digging the back of their head with their hands, and said with a puzzled look.

   "Isn't there a holy shield in the Great Rift Valley? Why didn't I see it?"

   Debt gave him a sideways glance. "Do you also use an umbrella on sunny days?"

   The construction site boy and Brick were stunned. "What... what does it mean?"

   "What he means is, that thing will only be unfolded when there is a war, and it is usually closed...I guess it is too."

   interrupted, and the corps commander glanced forward at the edge of the water, and the towering giant gate was slowly opening.

   And when the door was halfway open, all the players present showed surprise - even shocked expressions.

  Row upon row of concrete houses are located on the hillsides on both sides, and the top of the **** is a long glass curtain wall embedded in the hills.

  The middle of the valley is staggered with bridges and corridors of steel structure, and the elevators arranged on both sides of the mountain iron connect the upper and lower floors.

   And what is shocking is not these, but in the center of the rift is an abyss that can't see the bottom.

  The mountains on both sides of the abyss are also inlaid with square concrete buildings, forming a large-scale building complex.

   Since the sun shines down only at noon, the street lights on both sides of the road will be lit day and night starting from the part of the hillside on both sides of the mountain.

  This is a city buried in a mountain col, and at its feet are buried hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine, etc. produced by the electrolysis of trillions of tons of seawater, as well as many mineral elements, which are preserved in solid form.

   What surprises the edge of the water is not its background setting, but the architectural layout here.

   was silent for a while, but he finally couldn't help but complain.

   "Aren't they afraid of landslides?"

   Even if there is no landslide, rain or something, this rift valley is simply a natural riverbed. …

   Not to mention that they also built such a big gate, the whole is a man-made reservoir.

   Kakarot's expression was subtle.

   "Maybe...it's black technology."

   The technological content here does seem to be a lot worse than the ideal city, but you can't just look at the appearance.

   Along the way, they have seen more than 100 power armors and various types of exoskeletons.

   At least in terms of combat effectiveness, no one dares to underestimate them.

   These people are in no way inferior to the legion, and naturally they are not inferior to the enterprise.

   A man in a long brown robe stood at the entrance of the giant gate, nodding slightly to show respect.

   "Welcome to Origin City, I am the secretary-general of Chief His Excellency the Great Rift Valley, Yang Wei, who is in charge of external contacts."

   "Alliance Ambassador, Wu Huaide," stepped forward and shook hands with the man in the brown long shirt. Wu Huaide made a sincere representation, "Our visit this time is mainly for matters related to Luoxia Province."

  Yang Wei nodded, showing his understanding.

   "I have already reported your matter to Mr. Chief, please move to the lounge and wait for a while, then he will meet you in person."

   "Thank you."

   "You're welcome, please come with me."

   said, Yang Wei then looked at Ma Kai who was standing next to Wu Huaide.

   "Just leave the guests to me, the two prisoners from the legion, you take them to where they should go.

  Ma Kai said with a grin. "Good!" The handover of the prisoners was completed quickly.

  Piman did not resist, and calmly followed behind the approaching guards.

  The same goes for Antonette.

  Although he has a sullen expression on his face, he is a smart person and knows that at this time, being honest and obedient can save you some hardships.

There are still more than 300 players left in the    Death Corps. They are soldiers of the Alliance in name. It is impossible for all of them to follow the leader of the Great Rift Valley.

   It's impossible to justify it in terms of emotion and reason.

  Wu Huaide, according to the manager's instructions, selected the players with the highest contribution points to follow the secretary-general to the lounge.

   And the others followed the captain named Ma Kai and moved to the temporary residence prepared for the Alliance in the Great Rift Valley to rest.

   It was getting late outside, and it was time to go offline.

  Although it’s a pity not to see the next plot, but there is such a thing as the official website forum, so you won’t miss any key information.

   temporarily handed over the command to Kakarot, and a group of people who paddled along the edge followed Yang Wei and took the elevator up to the floor at the top of the Great Rift Valley.

   The structure here is completely different from the one below. The wide hall and promenade are entirely cast from alloys, like a space capsule suspended in a high orbit in a sci-fi blockbuster.

  Through the floor-to-ceiling windows arranged on one side of the corridor, you can directly overlook the depths of the valley.

   When walking through the corridor, the construction site boy and Brick suddenly spoke.

   "I seem to understand."

   "What do you understand?" The debtor gave him a sideways glance.

   "It feels like a space colony in a sci-fi movie."

   Several players around were stunned. "What?"…

   "Don't you feel that way?" The construction site boy and Brick scratched their heads and said embarrassedly, "The Great Rift Valley

The buildings below    are not at the same level as the sense of technology here, but the quality of life is justified. And structurally I always have a feeling that those buildings... are like the eggs laid in this space capsule. "

   "Pfft...you're a metaphor hahaha." Debt couldn't help laughing out loud.

   The edge of the water is a thoughtful expression.

   "Hmm... Maybe that's a possibility. The drum shampoo nodded thoughtfully.

   "I think it makes sense." Debt big-eyed: "...?"

  No matter what the origin of this facility is, some people finally reached the door of the lounge.

  There are many tables and sofas in the empty room, surrounded by bookshelves with many books that look a little old.

  According to the general urine of this game, high-value information is either hidden in books or in the mouths of NPCs, and players need to collect them independently.

   However, the people standing here are all "illiterate", everyone's listening and speaking skills are just okay, reading and writing are very general, and they can only be roughly understood by relying on the offline translation function of VM.

but······

  It is also an option to take a picture first, and synchronize it to the official website when there is a signal.

   Picked the book from the shelf, flipped it over in his hand with the edge of the water, and finally turned it back to the cover.

   When he saw the badge printed on it, he was slightly stunned, and his expression became a little weird.

   "This is... the badge of the company?"

   "There are also from the Legion and the Academy." Standing beside another bookshelf, he took out two books and flipped through them.

   "...I didn't see the Torch Church."

  Drum Shampoo Machine: "Maybe Torch Church doesn't have an outlet? After all, it has only been established for more than 20 years."

   Debt Eyes frowned.

   "Why is there the logo of the Legion Enterprise College? Forget the college, both Legion and Enterprise have fought the Great Rift Valley, right?"

   The construction site boy and Brick scratched the back of their heads.

   "I see that the setting of the official website is concentrated. Legions, enterprises, and colleges all belonged to the Post-War Reconstruction Committee, and the headquarters of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee was in the River Valley Province..."

   Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped.

  Origin City... Where it all started.

   The Adam's apple moved, and the construction site boy and Brick whispered in an uncertain tone.

  "...Could it be right here?"

   A pair of eyes looked over, and he felt a little flustered.

   "I guess ha... don't laugh at me if I guess wrong."

   But no one laughed at him. Including big eyes of debt.

   Staring at the book in his hand, frowning frowning at the edge, he swallowed unconsciously.

   "Maybe...it's really possible."

   While the players were collecting clues in the lounge, no one noticed that the ambassador of the alliance had been invited to the next room.

   Although they followed all the way, they still missed the key main storyline.

Sitting on the sofa. …

   Wu Huaide looked cautiously at the old man with white temples and sleepy eyes.

   From the previous chat, he had already learned that the old man's name was Ge Yan, he was the chief of the Great Rift Valley, and his status was similar to the administrator of the alliance.

   But it is different from the tall, mighty, heroic, and energetic managers.

   His eyes were cloudy, his face was wrinkled, and he looked like he was suffering from Alzheimer's.

  Although it was a bit rude to think so, Wu Huaide couldn't help but have this thought in his heart, and he felt a little proud.

  The old man sat very quietly, his eyes kept looking at the young man opposite him, but his eyes did not stop at him, but passed through him and looked at someone who was not there.

   After a long silence, he seemed to have the answer he wanted, and his dry lips finally moved.

   "...I have already learned about your affairs. I have sent an investigation team to the Bugra Free State. I promise to give you an account within three days."

  Bugera Free State is a vassal of the Great Rift Valley. With the leader of the Great Rift Valley speaking, the business of those profiteers and legions must be impossible.

   Didn't expect it to go so smoothly, Wu Huaide's brows loosened slightly, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

   "Thank you very much." The old man said with a faint smile.

   "I can't afford this thank you. This incident was originally our fault. I should have apologized to you at that time for causing you such a big trouble."

  I didn't expect the old man's attitude to be so sincere, Wu Huaide couldn't help but move in his heart.

   If the Great Rift Valley can be persuaded to send troops to deal with the Legion, it will undoubtedly make the war end more quickly.

  Although this was not a task that the manager gave him, he decided to give it a try.

   "Speaking of this... Actually, there is one thing I don't quite understand." Taking advantage of the good atmosphere of the conversation, Wu Huaide found a suitable entry point and said.

The old man    looked at him amiably. "What's up?"

   "The deployment of the legion in Luoxia Province is obviously here, why do you... let them do this?"

   Looking at the old man in front of him, Wu Huaide continued in a sincere tone.

   "Once they complete this supply line, more soldiers will be sent to the front line, and then you will inevitably have to fight again. Why don't you join forces with us now to eradicate the troubles once and for all!"

   After listening to these words, the old man was silent for a while before speaking.

   "The fact that the Legion came after us, and that we allowed them to behave... both are inaccurate."

   Seeing that indifferent expression, Wu Huaide couldn't help clenching his fists on his knees.

   "Isn't that true?" The old man looked at him calmly.

   "It's the part you see, but not all of it."

   The old man continued without waiting for the young man in front of him to speak.

   "Let's change the subject. How do you think the wasteland can be ended? Build a lot of houses? Build a lot of schools to pass on knowledge? Or produce a lot of weapons? Or let the residents live a prosperous life?"

   Wu Huaide opened his mouth and stared blankly at the old man in front of him. He didn't recover for a while, and he didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this. …

   Seeing that the young man did not answer, the old man continued speaking at a gentle pace.

   "These things are actually very important, but which one to do first and which to do later must be planned accordingly.

   "We need to remove the slime mold and radioactive substances on the surface, and revive the decayed atmospheric environment... This is the basis for the continuation of our civilization, and it is also the general line of the post-war reconstruction committee."

   "And to accomplish these tasks, we need a strong army, technicians responsible for recycling and preserving the heritage of civilization, and production personnel for the production of industrial supplies and living materials."

   "But people are not machines, everyone will have different ideas, even if we are all for the same goal, there will still be differences on many issues."

   "Does this have anything to do with our previous topic?" Wu Huaide couldn't help but ask. "

   "Of course it has something to do with it," the old man nodded, whether it was the regiment, the academy, or the enterprise...they all belonged to the post-war reconstruction committee. Even though conflicts and disagreements have divided us, we have not forgotten our work. Those jobs are like a sophisticated machine, still going on methodically, but in a different form. "

  Wu Huaide: "Including detonating a nuclear bomb? Is that part of the job???"

  The old man coughed softly.

   "That thing... it's really gone too far." Wu Huaide couldn't help but continue to ask.

   "Even if the Legion tries to conquer you?"

   However, facing the aggressive tone, the old man just smiled faintly.

   "If the whole legion was going to conquer us, it wouldn't be an expedition. Besides, those people have already been dealt with by us."

   Wu Huaide stared blankly at the old man in front of him.

   Completely different from those young soldiers outside.

   The old man didn't seem to hate this kind of emotion at all, and he didn't even take the war to heart at all.

   It's like...that's just a side effect of antibiotics, totally acceptable for the sake of healing.

   "I don't understand..."

   Looking at the confused face, the old man replied in a very soft voice.

   "That's not important, it's enough that your manager understands. If he came out of the shelter, he must understand what I mean.

  Wu Huaide couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his chest. Although he knew that this kind of emotion should not appear on diplomats, he was a survivor of the River Valley Province, and even a refugee who was displaced by the collapse of the expeditionary army.

   He hated the Legion as much as he hated the Bonebiter Tribe, and now that anger was burning here.

   That cloudless expression, just like that war

   is just a little thing that doesn’t matter to the big picture, and the price to pay as a long-term plan is totally acceptable.

   What is an orderly approach? What does it mean to change a form?

   Everything is in the post-war reconstruction committee's plan.

   But he was the only part of the plan that he didn't hear about himself.

where is he?

   Where are the survivors who did not live in the Great Rift Valley or Boulder?

   If the old man didn't mention the manager, it would be fine, but he also mentioned their manager...

   Taking a deep breath, Wu Huaide restrained the anger in his chest, knowing that now is not the time to be emotional. He does not represent himself.

   It's the Alliance!

   Even though he knew he was talking about chickens and ducks, he couldn't help raising the volume and made a last effort, trying to wake up the old man who was either asleep or pretending to be asleep.

"The Legion isn't just trying to wipe out the aliens, they're even trying to wipe out everyone but the Willands! Is this part of your salvation plan? When the Willands rule the world, where are we? Give a nose. Do you have lift surgery?"

  The old man shook his head.

"That's part of the Willant thinking, like a tumor in the muscle, it's an exception, but I'm sure it's not the whole story. If nothing else, their marshal isn't a Willant himself, he's a legionnaire. Leader, how could he possibly approve of this crazy idea?"

   "Of course, I don't agree with many of his actions. Violence is needed to end chaos, but his connivance of violence is indeed a bit too much."

  Wu Huaide had a surprised expression on his face.

   Not because of the old man’s words, but because of this

   "The Marshal of the Legion...isn't a Willante?"

   "Yes." "How do you know?"

   The old man's face showed a nostalgic expression, although that nostalgia turned into a soft sigh.

   "Of course I know, after all I watched that kid grow up."

   "And...the Willands came later."

   Wu Huaide looked at him blankly. "...?"

  .
