This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 600 This is so shameless!

  Beside the Heart of Steel, an inflatable airship nearly 50 meters long slowly approached the edge of the airship.

  Although this inflatable airship is already huge enough, and its length exceeds the real Boeing, it still looks like a small sparrow in front of the 500-meter-long Heart of Steel.

  A group of aircrew watched nervously as it hovered above the Heart of Steel, lowered the cables and pods, and slowly transported the personnel to the deck.

  As for why they are so nervous, the main reason is that this thing is filled with hydrogen gas, and the whole thing is a large bomb.

  But the players who rode it didn't panic at all, and didn't take this potential safety hazard seriously.

   After all, three days and one life.

  If such an accident really happened, I believe that the character planned by the dog will definitely give them full compensation.

  Put both feet on the deck of the Heart of Steel, Ye Shi let out a strange and presumptuous cry.

   "Hahaha! Laozi Hu Hansan is back again!!"

   It just happened to pass by here after work, and there were eight manipulators dangling behind it, and a mosquito with a dog-skin pilot hat on its head, jokingly joking.

   "Didn't you tell me to get up ten times a night? Why did you become Hu Hansan again?"

"roll!"

   "Haha!" Looking at the older brother who rolled his eyes, Jiujiu laughed so hard that his stomach ached, squatted on the ground and gave a thumbs up, "Uncle Mosquito, you are so funny!"

   "Hey, that's got to be—Gah! I'm not that old!"

   "Poof—"

   "Hahahahaha! Uncle Mosquito..."

  Guigui couldn't help laughing out loud, and Feng Qing beside him covered the corners of his mouth with a quiet smile.

  There is joy in the air.

  Although there is an exciting battlefield tens of kilometers away, no one seems to be really nervous except NPCs.

  Luo Yu looked up and down the Ye Shi brothers curiously, and asked with a smile.

   "By the way, didn't you live yesterday? Why did you come back today?"

  The game event just came out these few days, and there are flights between the Heart of Steel and Dawn City every night, departing on time at 12:00 midnight (12:00 noon in the real world).

  He thought this guy was here yesterday.

  Ye Shi sighed quietly.

   "Hey, a hidden mission was triggered, and I was delayed in Dawn City for a while."

   Luo Yu asked curiously.

   "What hidden mission?"

  Ye Shi scratched the back of his head, not knowing how to speak, he thought for a while before speaking.

   "There was a guy from the academy who picked on me and insisted that I take her around Dawn City. I suspected that she was a spy, so I sent her to the guard station."

   This is not something he made up, that guy is indeed suspicious.

  There is no diplomatic relationship between the academy and the alliance. This is information published on the official website.

   Except for researchers like Chen Yutong and Yin Fang who ran away, it is logically impossible for researchers to hang around in Dawn City.

  At that time, he thought she was here to catch Lao Bai's best friend, so he agreed to come down and take her around, and then sent her to the police without saying a word.

  The guy whose identity was exposed exploded as he expected, but he didn't know why the guards didn't believe what he said.

   Later he will have to go to the forum to make complaints about it, it's really unprofessional!

  Jiujiu, who had already stood up, listened to what her brother said, and let out a long sigh and held her forehead.

  Luo Yu glanced at the expression on the little girl's face, feeling that things were not that simple, so she looked at Brother Ye Shi and continued to ask curiously.

"and then?"

  Ye Shi rolled his eyes.

"Then I was in a hurry, and I raised my fist to beat me! Damn, those guards who didn't do anything didn't come to help, and they closed the door halfway through the transcript and left, even locking the door! And later... the one called Lucca's city lord is here, anyway, it's very troublesome, and it took me a whole day."

  Luo Yu was dumbfounded.

   Not only him, but also the pilots of several goblin regiments, including Mosquito, staring straight at him.

  Guigui raised his hand.

   "One question... Are you sure that guy is really a spy?"

  Ye Shi said without hesitation.

   "Otherwise? Are there other possibilities?"

  Feng Qing subtly moved his eyes away to look at Guigui.

   "It always feels like..."

  Before she finished speaking, Guigui nodded her head in agreement with an expression of "I understand you".

   "I feel the same way you do!"

  Ye Shi: "...?"

  Luo Yu didn't understand what he heard, and asked with a headache as he massaged the center of his brow.

   "So that guy... who the **** is it? Do you know him?"

"We met once, otherwise how would I know she is from the academy," Ye Shi scratched the back of his head, his eyes searched around, his eyes lit up, and pointed in the direction of the airship, "That guy, management Those who were worried about leaving her in Shuguang City told me to take good care of her."

   Luo Yu looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a girl in a silver-white coat standing on the elevator transporting the airship, holding the cable tightly with both hands, waiting for the ladder that was almost attached to the deck to stop.

  Her face was pale, and she almost had the word fear of heights written on her face. The long collar that stood up was like two flags, fluttering in the wind along with the two long ponytails that were blown around by the air current.

  Two aircrew were trying to persuade her to come down, but she was still holding onto the cable tightly, and she didn't seem to want to let go.

   "Jiang Xuezhou, a D-level researcher," Jiujiu said with a faint sigh while looking over there, "Don't look at my old brother's nonsense, sometimes he's so slow that it even surprises me."

   "Fuck! D?!" Mosquito looked at Ye Shi in surprise, and the mechanical arm behind him patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Niu! Isn't that on the same level as Yin Fang?"

   "What does it have to do with me," Ye Shi impatiently slapped the mosquito's mechanical arm away, "and the level is just the level, and it's a different thing from the ability."

  He didn't think the guy was smart at all.

  You are so smart that you won’t be caught by the Enlightenment Society.

  Fengqing looked at Guigui delicately, and moved closer to whispering.

   "I always feel that managers are not easy... Guji Guji..."

  Guigui had that expression of "I understand you" again, nodding his head in agreement.

   "That's right... Gochu Gochu..."

  Ye Shi: "..."

  These two have been muttering something since just now.

  Going to move bombs so idle!

  On the other side, the flight crew was still persuading Jiang Xuezhou, who was lingering on the elevator and refused to get down.

   "This lady from the academy... the elevator is at the end, please come down quickly."

  Jiang Xuezhou said stubbornly with a tense face.

   "No, isn't there still a little distance?"

  The aircrew had a delicate expression, and they were really embarrassed to say that they only tried to park the civilian airship on the deck of the Heart of Steel in the past few days, and they only went back and forth between Dawn City and Pioneer City.

   The pilot has worked very hard to bring the elevator down so close to the deck of the Heart of Steel.

  Another aircrew reminded patiently.

   "Before we improve this elevator, this is already the limit that can be approached. We are doing it for your own good. It may be more dangerous for you to stay there..."

   "..."

  Jiang Xuezhou bit her lip tightly, looked nervously at the deck, and happened to meet Ye Shi's eyes.

  Her face froze instantly, she gave the guy a murderous look, and stiffly twisted her neck to the side.

  However, when she saw the clouds floating outside, and the elevator swinging like a swing against the deck, she turned her head back with a sad face.

  She didn't know why.

  It is quite normal to look down from the sky through the perspective of the drone, and it is not a problem to fly around in her mentor's scientific research ship.

  However, ever since she boarded the alliance's nonsensical hydrogen airship, she has never been safe for a moment...

   Seeing her funny expression, Ye Shi almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

   This NPC is too funny.

   Jiujiu, who was standing aside, couldn't bear to watch anymore, sighed, put his hands on his shoulders, and moved him out of the crowd.

   "Okay, okay, my brother has a task to do, brothers and sisters, borrow it, borrow it..."

   One was caught off guard, pushed by the old sister and staggered in the direction of the airship, Ye Shi turned his head and glared at the little guy.

   "What are you doing?"

   "Okay, don't worry about it, just listen to me and you'll be done!" With a coaxing tone, Jiujiu said patiently, "Go, go, go and take her now."

  Eleven Ye was not happy when he heard this.

   "Just jumping one step forward still needs my help, what else does she need her legs for?"

   "Tsk, go if you are told!"

   Being glared at by his sister, Ye Shigang wanted to retaliate, but thought that the relationship between this little guy and Fujiteng was not so good, so he held back.

   "Okay, okay...I'll go."

   "Hey! Come on!"

  Looking at the elder brother who was walking towards the elevator, Jiujiu sent a cheer of encouragement and an aunt-like smile.

  Of course she knows that her elder brother likes Fujiteng-san, but with this guy's sullen personality, it's probably useless.

  She is Yujie, okay?

It’s just a bit of Buddhism in the game, but in reality, a social elite who has designed a lot of super powerful works, how could he like this kind of stinky brother who talks a lot on the Internet and dare not even ask for his contact information when he meets him? ?

  So let’s give up as soon as possible, brother, and remember that paper is your true love!

please be happy!

   Jiujiu crossed himself on his chest, chanted Amitabha Buddha in his heart, and silently prayed to the Great Horned Deer God for his elder brother.

  Looking at the nasty guy who came up to him and reluctantly stretched out his right hand, Jiang Xuezhou raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his pale face regained some blood.

   "Hmph... You still have a little conscience." She stretched out her hand with a little pride in her heart, and put it on the palm of the hand in front of her.

  Ye Shi rolled his eyes, and was about to say confidently that I was forced by Jiujiu, but was glared at by the old girl, and swallowed the obscenity again.

   "Hurry up and come down...it's only this height, don't be ashamed, even this is afraid, why don't you go home and plant sweet potatoes as soon as possible."

"you!"

  Jiang Xuezhou, who just jumped off the elevator, almost staggered and fell to the ground when he heard these words. He even forgot his altitude at the moment, and stared at this guy with murderous eyes as soon as he stood up.

  Ye Shi has no doubt that if this guy put laser emitters in his eyes, he would have died ten thousand times.

   Really feed the dog with conscience.

  Thanks to me, I saved her life before.

  Ye Shi muttered in his heart, ignoring this guy. Compared with the murderous gaze, he actually cared more about the eyes watching the excitement around him.

   Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a little stiff, Jiujiu squeezed into the middle of the two, rounded the field and looked at Jiang Xuezhou and said.

   "Don't look at my brother like this, he just has a stupid mouth, but he is actually very worried about you!"

  Jiang Xuezhou, whose chest was rising and falling, glanced at Jiujiu, nodded slightly, and whispered in embarrassment.

   "Thank you...Jiujiu."

  When she was in Dawn City yesterday, she knew this clever little girl, and her first impression and senses were very good.

   It's unbelievable to say though!

  Such a polite child is in the same family as that rude guy!

  Jiujiu blinked playfully.

   "Thank you to the wrong person. It was my brother who helped you out. You should thank him."

   "..."

  Jiang Xuezhou pursed her lips, and stubbornly turned her face to the side, not knowing if she was trying to be awkward, or to hide the rosy glow under her temples.

  As the last piece of cargo was finally removed from the elevator, a group of aircrew breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly signaled the airship to leave the deck.

   As if afraid that some guy would jump on it again.

  Unable to stand the winking smiles of the animals around, Ye Shi didn't want to stay on the deck any longer, so she hurriedly dragged Lao Mei and Xue Zhou to the direction of the gangway.

   Entered the interior of the Heart of Iron.

  Jiang Xuezhou's tense expression obviously relaxed a lot. He looked around from left to right, and even started to make comments.

   "By the way, why do you use such primitive means of transportation... Isn't Boulder City an airplane with a plasma engine?"

  Ye Shi murmured subconsciously.

   "Original? I think it's very easy to use."

  Jiang Xuezhou glanced at him.

   "What is the use of the hydrogen airship just now..."

  Ye Shi said without thinking.

   "It is stable enough, fast enough, and has a large load capacity. Is there any aircraft more suitable for wasteland than this?"

   Seeing that he didn't realize the point at all, Jiang Xuezhou couldn't help complaining.

   "What about the security issue?! Don't you consider the security risks?"

   "Tsk."

  Ye Shiben wanted to complain, I was afraid of a hammer if I lived for three days, but when I thought of the player's manual, I held back and said with a curled lip.

   "If you can't stand it, just copy the blueprint of your anti-gravity device to us. You think the settlements in this wasteland are full of technology trees like yours."

   "..." Jiang Xuezhou bit her lip and stopped talking, a trace of discomfort and sadness appeared in her eyes.

  Ye Shi glanced at her, seeing the sadness in her eyes, she couldn't help but panic, and subconsciously reflected on whether she had spoken too seriously, but after thinking about it, she became puzzled.

  I didn’t say anything too exaggerated!

   To be reasonable, it would be fine if those technologies were researched by the academy themselves, how to use them freely.

   But the problem is that those technologies are the property of the entire Human Federation and should be inherited by all human beings, but a group of old people put gold coins in their pockets.

   Is this what people do!

  In fact, these guys didn't really make use of the value of those technologies, they just collected them like hamsters and hoarded them.

  At least from the perspective of the game setting alone, there is nothing wrong with him accusing the academy of incompetence from the standpoint of a refuge resident.

but…

  He really couldn't bear to let a girl show a sad expression.

  Even if he disagrees with the college's approach, it is a political decision, not something that a little D-level researcher like her can control.

   "Speaking of which, what are you doing here?" Ye Shi took the initiative to change the topic.

   "My mentor asked me to come." Jiang Xuezhou whispered in a low mood.

   "Then what is he here for?"

   "A serious disaster is happening here... What's your expression?"

   "Nothing," Ye Shi shrugged, looking at the ceiling above his head, "I was just thinking, why did you come here now."

  Jiang Xuezhou stopped talking and closed his mouth, with self-blame and sadness in his eyes, and some complicated emotions in it.

yes…

  Clearly knowing that it was such a serious disaster, why did they come now.

   But what does this have to do with her?

   Is this her fault?

  After that parting, she thought she would never see this guy again, but she never expected that the mentor would receive another topic related to the alliance, and she was lucky enough to bring her with her.

  The reunion after a long absence should have been a happy thing, but he didn't know how happy he was at that time.

   As soon as we met, the first thing this guy did was to send himself to the police station!

   Is this something that humans did!

  The more Jiang Xuezhou thought about it, the more wronged he became, and the more wronged he became, the angrier he became, he clenched his fists unconsciously and gritted his teeth.

  Hearing the creaking sound, Ye Shi thought that the strongman was nearby, so he glanced at the corner of the corridor.

   Strange.

  Didn't the manager not let him take the little brother to the airship?

  That fat mouse won’t hide in the wall and grind its teeth by itself.

   Silently following behind the silent two, Jiujiu kept her mouth shut the whole time and did not speak.

  From the first sentence, she was silenced by her brother's high EQ, so that she didn't even know which sentence to start to save the situation...

  She suddenly felt that a paper man with realistic emotions might not be suitable for her brother. Even if the other party's flag was almost erected to the ceiling, he would find a way to pull it out by himself.

  Jiujiu sighed silently in her heart.

   Sorry bro.

  Your sister did her best!

   Your old man should save money to buy a bionic person.

  That should be no difficulty...

   A group of people disappeared at the end of the corridor, and no one noticed a figure standing at the corner of the corridor.

  Hearing the footsteps gradually going away, Chen Yutong who was hiding in the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief, and walked in another direction.

  Although she misses her friend very much, seeing her at this time will only bring trouble to her and others who protect her.

  I am already a dead man.

   It is better not to meet each other as much as possible...

  …

  At the same time, the captain's room of the Iron Heart.

  The conversation that seems familiar is being staged, but the atmosphere is not only not a little bit ambiguous, but there is even a trace of looming rhetoric.

  “…A serious disaster is happening here, and you may not fully realize the seriousness of the problem. I suggest that you should hurry up.”

  A robot covered with metal stood beside Chu Guang.

  Its right hand is slightly bent and stretched forward, a beam of light blue light and shadow and a bust composed of light particles are floating above the palm.

  The bust is Jiang Xuezhou's mentor Yang Kai. This old Goubi is sitting in his research boat at the moment, probably floating somewhere near the Heart of Steel.

  Same as before, he never showed his body in person, basically he asked his apprentice to bring an external playback device to hang around outside.

   Once the situation is not right, he will definitely run away without saying a word.

  From this point of view alone, although Li Ke, who is also a B-level researcher, is not as good as this guy in terms of style, he is still much more courageous than him.

  At least that guy dared to run to the front line of the battlefield to pretend to be aggressive.

   Lu Bei stared straight at the robot, with his right hand always placed closest to the weapon.

  Chu Guang is different.

  Having absolute confidence in his own strength, he didn't take this guy seriously at all, and just said something indifferent.

   "Since you know what's going on here, why are you here now?"

  Yang Kai sighed, it sounded like he was apologizing, but his tone seemed light and weightless.

   "We also have our difficulties, I hope you understand."

  Chu Guang continued to speak casually.

   "If you can elaborate on your difficulties, it may help me understand, but at least what I see is more like a shrinking tortoise."

   "Turtle, this analogy is very interesting...Forget it, let's get down to business, we've been chatting for a long time."

  Yang Kai laughed and laughed, and abruptly changed the topic.

   Seeing that he didn't want to get entangled in this topic, Chu Guang didn't waste any more time on this fruitless matter.

  Since the academy is here, it proves that they have scruples about the situation here, and there is no need for me to be polite to them as I hold the initiative.

  Because of emotion and reason, he has reasons to express his dissatisfaction on behalf of the alliance.

   "It's exactly what I want," Chu Guang said calmly, "First of all, please explain the seriousness of the problem."

   "I was going to say this."

   Clearing his throat, Yang Kai continued.

   "Nago's infection effect on the area is divided into multiple stages, I believe your researchers have already understood."

   Chu Guang nodded.

   “We are investigating three phases.”

  This is the result of Chen Yutong's investigation.

   In the first stage, a small number of local people, animals and plants were infected by Naguo.

At this stage, the Nago fungus will hardly show any aggression or harm. Not only does it have sweet and juicy pulp, but it can also allow the eater to obtain a body that is almost invulnerable to all diseases. The only side effects are only occasional distractions and distractions. Not concentrating.

   In the second stage, most of the local people, animals and plants were infected by Naguo.

  At this stage, the Nago fungus will gradually show its fangs and ambition to climb higher up the food chain. The specific manifestation is that people and animals who eat Naguo for a long time will frequently enter the "fugue" state, lose response to external stimuli, lose aggressiveness and combat effectiveness, and are more likely to be preyed by existences at the top of the food chain.

   Whether it is eaten by a more powerful alien species, or given to their mutant allies by the church as a bribed tribute.

The third stage is probably an advanced stage of the second stage. After the Nago fungus confirms its dominance over most of the organisms in the field through pheromones, it will completely tear off the beautiful camouflage and release it through the mycelium scattered on the ground. spores, thus spreading its realm—

  Order all organisms in the domain to fall into the heaven described and dominated by the gods!

"Yes, it seems that you have a lot of talents to figure this out in such a short time." After listening to Chu Guang's simple statement, Yang Kai nodded in approval and continued, "However, your investigation is not deep enough. In fact, after the third stage, there is a fourth stage."

  Chu Guang: "What is that?"

  Yang Kai continued.

   "It is after the third stage. In non-academic terms it is—when the kingdom descends on this land, and the moon changes from a new moon to a full moon, this land will be permanently reduced to a kingdom of plague."

   In other words, does it take about a month to advance from the third stage to the fourth stage?

  Use this kind of pretending to be a ghost.

   But Chu Guang was more concerned about another thing.

   "…cannot be cleared?"

   "Exactly."

  Yang Kai nodded slightly, and continued in a non-joking tone.

"Even if the pseudo-brother's nest—that is, the nest of Nago is destroyed, the flora entrenched here will still execute the previous instructions inertially, and the kingdom of heaven will continue forever...except for deformed modified creatures such as mutants , all organisms in the domain will lose their sense of autonomy, just like a puppet whose strings have been cut."

"You should know that because the control lines of these puppets were held by a guy named Shengzi, even though the undead have no self-awareness, they can still live step by step, just like domestic animals. However, if no one Leave them alone, they may have a hard time even basic feeding."

   "Maintaining the 'Kingdom of Heaven' at the fourth stage is the perfect choice for the church that has a mind interference device."

"In fact, our researcher speculates that after the fourth stage, there should be a fifth stage in the theory. That is, in the absence of external force interference, let the organisms captured by Nago die naturally and be swallowed by the entire field, And then rot away..."

   This is not difficult to imagine.

  Nago itself is a biological weapon without self-awareness, edited through partial fragments of the mutant slime mold DNA.

  Nago's Nest does not have the autonomous consciousness of the slime mold nest, it is more like an empty shell with a superficial appearance.

  The Church of the Torch filled its core with a mind-interfering device, which is why it supports the continued operation of the entire ostentatious ecology.

  Once the coordination of the psychic interference device is lost, this huge ecosystem will immediately fall into the bottomless abyss, becoming a paradise for microorganisms without self-consciousness to prosper.

  Chu Guang's face gradually changed. He probably guessed the final result, but he still stared at the expert in front of him solemnly and asked.

"What will happen?"

"Things that have not been verified, no one knows," Yang Kai sighed softly, "You should know that due to the coordination of the Nago fungus, the organisms infected with Nago will actually not be destroyed by the decomposers in nature. It was cleaned up quickly. Some scholars believe that there will be an eternal bacterial kingdom, and some people think that a huge, beautiful bouquet of crystal orchids will bloom on the corpses of those people... You know that kind of flower?"

  Chu Guang subconsciously blurted out.

   "Flowers on dead bodies—"

"Guiding the way to the underworld," Yang Kai followed his words and nodded slightly, "To be honest, we really don't know how to deal with this problem. It's not our style to kill and burn people. As for enterprises, wait They made up their minds that the troubles of a province may have turned into a small half of the Central Continent... let alone the Legion, they will only look at our jokes with glee, you know who those guys are, they can't be counted on .”

   Good guy.

   It's so shameless to throw this pot away!

  Chu Guang suddenly became angry.

   "So you gave me the ball? That's a province! Even if I can do it, I don't have that much gas!"

  Yang Kai said softly.

   "We gave you a thousand cubic meters of fuel, which is better than gasoline... Even if you want to do this, it is definitely enough."

   "..."

   Chu Guang stared at him intently.

  Yang Kai avoided his gaze, touched his nose with some shame, and continued.

   "Don't look at me like that. It's not that we caused trouble. It's better to say that we have been silently guarding the last hope of the old civilization, even if you don't understand how great we are doing."

   "Look at the ground beneath your feet. It's a horrible thing for a group of people who don't deserve it to have the sharp weapon of civilized people."

"We will leave this planet eventually, it's on the schedule, but we don't intend to take away all hope... Dr. Conclusion believes that the old civilization will not die completely, and the common tortuous fate will eventually make us We will meet again at a certain moment in the future, even if we go to a corner of the universe or even another galaxy."

   "Instead of resenting that we didn't help you more, it's better to think about how to solve this problem."

  Chu Guang suddenly laughed.

   "You gave me a difficult problem. For a moment, I even wondered whether this thousand cubic meters of helium-III is enough for me to sleep until a thousand years later."

   It should be enough if the equipment does not fail.

   But of course he couldn't do that.

"I'm sorry, although I'm not the one who made the question...my apprentice will help you solve some problems. If you plan to give up this era and continue to sleep, please take her with you, although I believe you will definitely not did that."

  Yang Kai nodded slightly, like a wisp of floating blue smoke, hastily dissipated in the azure blue light and shadow, and disappeared from the captain's room.

  —

   (Thanks to the leader of "hhhzz6" for the reward!! The update was delayed for a few hours a few days ago, and it was updated a little earlier today, and it will be updated at the old time and place at 6:00 tomorrow.)
