This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 689 Lao Tzu is now a member of the alliance, try to touch me?

  Before boarding that pier, Chen Jianhong had never felt so deeply that life was so beautiful.

  Especially when he had just finished showing off a plate of barbecue, and then drank a large glass of cold beer, the tears that moved... or the pain in the back of his head almost fell out of his eyes.

   Sure enough, this is called alive!

  The unlucky days are finally over!

  At this moment, Chen Jianhong finally understood why that guy Sun Yuechi was not the manager.

  I knew that life in the alliance was so comfortable, and I wouldn't be the captain of the boat if I changed it!

  But understanding belongs to understanding.

   When he had the chance to meet again, he still wanted to punch that guy hard in the face.

   To avenge these two and a half months of suffering!

  Although it is morning now, for the crew of the Dolphin whose day and night are turned upside down, it is just dinner.

   A plate of barbecue has just been finished, and the girl in the uniform of the waiter brought another plate.

  Looking at the plate of greasy barbecue, Chen Jianhong couldn't help asking curiously.

   "By the way, what kind of meat is this?"

  The players at the same table said with a smile.

   "The tail of Junk Jun!"

  Chen Jianhong froze for a moment.

"?what is that?"

   Another player next to him stretched out his hand and slapped the talkative guy on the back of the head.

   "You said he didn't understand this, cough... this is an ordinary lizard tail."

"oh oh…"

  Listening to the shelter resident's explanation, Chen Jianhong nodded blankly, then reached out to pick up a skewer of barbecued meat, and brought it to his mouth to wipe it.

  Although it sounds a bit weird, it is normal compared to their food some time ago...

  The whole beach is filled with the smell of barbecue, there are all kinds of strange ingredients, as well as mushrooms and berries picked from the rainforest, and some leaves with strange fragrance.

  The survivors and crew members who came down from the Dolphin had a feast of barbecue and beer. The way they devoured it was like starving ghosts reincarnated, which made people feel distressed.

"Thank you so much!" A middle-aged woman with a haggard face held Sisi's hand with tears in her eyes, her voice choked with sincere thanks, "Until yesterday, we thought we were dead, If I hadn't met you, I really don't know how long I can hold on..."

   "It's okay, it's over." Patting the back of her hand lightly, Sisi said softly.

  In fact, judging from their threshold of suffering, the survivors of the Federation of the Southern Islands did not brag.

   Before this war, they did sort of end the wasteland and live a prosperous, civilized life in a relatively closed environment.

  In comparison, the wastelanders in other parts of the Central Continent are much miserable.

  For example, Qingquan City.

Before the Alliance came, most of the survivors there had never eaten decent food a few times in their lives. Nutrient cream and paste made from green wheat were the daily routine of most people, only slave owners, profiteers, mercenaries and villains We can live a few days human life.

   But she won't accuse them of hypocrisy.

   No matter which kind of suffering is real, the degree may be different, but there is no distinction between which is nobler and which is lower.

   Or so it seemed to her.

  Looking at the group of survivors who were gorging, they raised their tails and raised their right hands as if looking into the distance, with a satisfied smile on their face.

   This eating and broadcasting is too decompressing to watch.

   "Oh! Everyone eat more, you're welcome! Anyway, it's Brother Fang's treat!"

  Fang Chang, who happened to be passing by, gave this guy a sideways glance, and said a friendly reminder.

   "You're really welcome, anyway, it's the Baiyue Strait Development Company's money."

   "giao?!" Tail looked at him in surprise, "I thought it was your treat!"

  Fang Chang smiled faintly.

   "How is it possible, am I the kind of person who will use my own money to do good things?"

  Tail looked at the guy who said this without blushing in surprise.

   "Hey! Ruthless man, how did the lovely Miss Dolly fall in love with you!"

  Fang Chang thought for half a second.

   "Maybe...she has better vision?"

   Tail looked at him in surprise, his mouth was open but he couldn't say a word.

   Good guy!

   Is this the strong one?

  How did you manage to act so naturally?

  …

  In just ten minutes, most of the barbecue piled on the long table was dazzled.

  As for those scallops, conch, and oysters, they were piled aside without anyone caring, and no one touched them at all.

   In fact, no wonder.

  In the past two months, they have eaten most of these things in the sea, and now they are afraid of vomiting when they see seafood.

  Satisfied people sat on the beach, some looked at the sea and sang songs, some lay in large characters, and some simply took a nap on the beach.

  The owner of Yiren, who had been busy for a long time, finally brought up the signature dish of Yiren Tavern - French fries before the guests fell asleep.

  I saw him carrying two rattan baskets in his hands, ran to the beach with a happy face, and dumped French fries on the long table that had just finished cutting a pile of barbecue like feeding a pig.

   "French fries are here!"

  Smelling the alluring aroma of carbon water, everyone looked at the pile of golden yellow, with a hint of longing in their curious eyes.

   I feel that this stuff is more fragrant than barbecue!

  But they couldn't eat anymore. Many people sat on the ground and couldn't even move their legs.

  Chen Jianhong, the only one who was still reserved, also cast a curious look at the pile of golden strips of food.

"what is that?"

  Fang Chang who walked up to him said with a smile.

   "French fries, the special food here, try it?"

   While listening to him, Chen Jianhong reached out his hand, picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately.

   After a long while, he wiped his greasy hands on the tablecloth, looked at Fang Chang and said with emotion.

   "Unbelievable... How did you come up with the idea that you can make so many different kinds of food?"

   Fang Chang said with a smile.

   "That's just a little bit. When you go to Dawn City, I guarantee that you will have three meals a day for 365 days without repeating the same meal."

  Chen Jianhong had an expression of disbelief.

   But seeing the determined eyes of the guy in front of him, and thinking of someone who was reluctant to miss home in Dawn City, he unconsciously believed half of it.

  At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of the beach in the distance, followed by an exclamation.

"Boat!"

   "From the East!"

   "Federation patrol boat! Damn it!"

  Hearing the exclamation, the people who were relaxed just a second ago climbed up from the beach in panic. They didn't even have time to pick up their shoes, and limped towards the beach.

   It can be seen that during this period of time, the navy of the Federation of the Southern Islands has tortured them enough that a speedboat can scare them into such a state.

  Looking at Chen Jianhong who reached for the gun reflexively, Fang Chang quickly grabbed his shoulder and patted him.

   "Leave it to us."

   After speaking, he gestured with the tail, then got up and walked towards the pier.

  …

  The speedboat quickly leaned against the pier, and compared with the Dolphin submarine next to it, it was like a light leaf.

   And it's the kind that falls at the elephant's feet.

   Just as Mu Da boarded the pier, he noticed that the crowd on the shore stood up in panic, turning their backs to his direction and fleeing.

  Among them were the rebels on the Dolphin who were drunk, and the residents of Coral City who were taken hostage by the rebels.

   Recognizing the identities of those people, the sailor behind Mu Da was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted loudly towards the shore.

   "Get away from those rebels, we are here to save you—"

  If those survivors can be mobilized, maybe the group of rebel crew can be subdued!

  However, before he finished speaking, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

   "Enough is enough, it's useless."

   Facing the surprised eyes of his comrade, Mu Da shook his head, and withdrew his hand on his shoulder.

   "Who do you think they are hiding from like that? The group of rebels sitting with them?"

  The sailor was at a loss for words for a while, unable to speak.

   And at this moment, a roar echoed his previous words from the shore.

   "Who wants you to save!"

   "Aren't you the ones who cut off the power supply of Coral City! Stop pretending to be innocent!"

   "You murderers!"

   "Get out of the alliance's territory!"

   It seems that there are only three federal soldiers who have gone ashore. Everyone who was running away a second ago stopped and looked at them standing on the pier with unfriendly eyes.

"keep Calm."

  Muda gave the two subordinates a look, then looked at the group of people walking towards the pier, and shouted straight to the point.

   "Someone asked us to deliver something—"

   He was just halfway through his words when he suddenly stopped talking, and he froze there.

  I saw the two girls who disappeared near the wreckage of the ocean current power station, walking towards this side on the beach not far away. The one with short hair waved his arms to greet them.

   "Oh! Long time no see!"

   Not only Mu Da, but the two sailors behind him also looked like they had seen a ghost.

  Wait for a group of people approached, Mu Da looked at the two of them in a daze, swallowed and said.

   "You...what's the situation?"

  Tail smiled.

   "It was almost gone, but fortunately I got a ride... By the way, where are the things?"

   Stared blankly at this guy for a while, before he looked at the speedboat behind him.

   “…under the speedboat, we hang from fishing nets.”

   "Wow! Thank you so much!"

mission completed!

  Tail excitedly ran to the direction of the speedboat, and couldn't wait to hand in the task.

   Didn't stop her movement, Mu Da looked at Fang Chang and Captain Chen Jianhong standing in front of him, as well as Sisi and other players who came to watch the fun, and said after a moment of pause.

   "We made an appointment before, and the ships of Vault 70 are not allowed to get supplies from you...I need an explanation. What's the matter with this submarine and these people?"

   "We didn't violate the agreement," Fang Chang continued with a smile on his face, "This Mr. Chen and those people on the beach are now citizens of the alliance."

  Mu Da was stunned.

"What?"

   Before Fang Chang could speak, Chen Jianhong, who was standing aside, looked at the guy in front of him provocatively, and said with great air.

   "That's right, I'm a citizen of the alliance now, you can try to touch me?"

  Mu Da didn't look at him, but stared at Fang Chang, who was beside him, and said every word.

   "They are criminals, and what you say about 'suffering survivors unite' is to shield these criminals so that they can escape justice?"

  Fang Chang looked at him and asked.

   "So what crime did they commit?"

   Mu Da stared at him intently.

   "War crime, they have to pay the price for the twelve cargo ships sunk and plundered by them and the crew members who died in the sea—"

   "Stop spitting blood there!"

   An angry growl interrupted his words, Chen Jianhong stepped forward and stared into his eyes, and continued speaking through gritted teeth.

   "Sink twelve cargo ships? Use this submarine? You tell me, how can we sink these twelve cargo ships? Hit them with the bow?"

   Before Mu Da could speak, the sailor beside him took out a wanted warrant from his pocket.

   "Here's the proof—"

   "This is not evidence, it's just a scrap of paper with some nonsense written on it and stamped with a stencil."

   Fang Chang glanced at the paper, looked at the sailor holding the wanted warrant and continued.

"Occasionally, wastelanders flee to our territory to hide their names, and then their enemies come to seek revenge. To be fair, we will allow both parties to go to court in court, which is better than their fighting in the streets. .”

"If the plaintiff's evidence can indeed prove that a citizen of a Union has committed a serious crime against humanity in a faraway land before obtaining citizenship, we will give him two options. Or deprive the Union citizens of their status and leave the country for a limited time...but the premise of everything is that we have to talk about evidence."

"What was the weapon that sank the twelve cargo ships? Where are the coordinates of the attack, and what time of day did the attack occur... You need to at least submit these evidences to us and make sure they are true and effective, not a few words Menacing nonsense."

  The sailor wanted to say something, but Mu Da stretched out his hand and held him back.

   "He's right, we do need these things."

  At first he didn't think it was an important thing, but now he has changed his mind.

   Not only the sea monster and the signal of the psychological interference device that appeared below the ocean current power station, but also the unusual reaction of the officer who questioned him...

   All of this makes it hard not to make him wonder whether there is any conspiracy behind it.

  The sailor stared blankly at the officer, and then at the people in front of him, he could only put the arrest warrant back into his arms angrily.

   Fang Chang glanced at the NPC named Mu Da unexpectedly.

   It seems that there are also sensible people here, not all of them are single-minded guys, so he then looked at Captain Chen Jianhong.

"In order to convince our neighbors, can you take them to visit the submarine? As a third-party witness, we will take pictures of the 'weapons' they identified. Of course, there is no problem in refusing, after all, you There is no obligation to prove your innocence.”

"No problem," Chen Jianhong looked at the three people in front of him with sarcasm in his eyes, "You can visit as you like, and I am also curious, whether it was our toilet plug that knocked your cargo ship over, or your eyes It grows on the butt."

   Two sailors glared at him.

   Ignoring that guy's provocation, Mu Da looked at Fang Chang and nodded seriously.

"Thanks."

   Sisi, who was standing beside him, lowered his embraced arms and raised his right hand.

   "Let me be a witness."

  Besides her, there were a few players watching the fun who also raised their hands with interest.

   "Bring me one!"

   "Me me me!"

   "Brothers together!"

   In the blink of an eye, more than 60 notaries were gathered on the scene, more than the crew on the Dolphin.

  Although they are not interested in the dispute between the Federation and Vault 70, they are still very interested in visiting this nuclear submarine that came for nothing.

  Many of them are professionals with half a bottle of water, and they plan to observe it with a learning mentality.

  Fang Chang was not stingy, he simply waved his hands.

   "I leave it to you."

   Just like that, the captain of the Federal Patrol and the captain of the Dolphin submarine returned to the submarine surrounded by a large group of players.

   This work did not take too long.

   After all, as Captain Chen Jianhong showed, this is just a cargo submarine, at most it has a relatively advanced power system, and there are no offensive weapons installed at all.

  Following behind Chen Jianhong, the more Mu Da looked down, the heavier his heart became, and he didn't say a word at all.

   It's not just him.

  The same goes for the two subordinates who have been following behind him.

  Especially the sailor with the wanted warrant, after seeing the places where the survivors raised seaweed and synthesized nutrient cream, his face showed an expression of astonishment.

   Is this the submarine ghost claimed by the Federal Navy?

  They found neither weapons nor looted goods in its belly, but only a group of residents of Coral City, and traces of struggling to survive in the harsh environment...

   Who made these poor people live so miserable...

  Mu Da clenched his fists involuntarily, the wavering in his eyes had turned into uncontrollable anger.

  Anyone with a little bit of conscience can see that the crimes accused by the Federal Navy do not exist here at all, but are full of evidence of another group of people.

  He took these photos, then took a deep breath and looked at Captain Chen Jianhong next to him, and said in a solemn tone.

"I apologize for what my subordinates and I said before. You are victims of this war, not war criminals. At least for now, I don't see any... evidence that can prove the so-called criminal evidence stated on the arrest warrant. "

"I can apologize myself, you don't have to speak for me, sir..." The sailor next to him muttered, took a step forward, and looked at Captain Chen reluctantly but sincerely, "I'm sorry, but I I can't help it, I'm just following the orders of my superiors...those damned guys, I really don't understand what they think."

   "Let the past go, I am now a citizen of the alliance." Chen Jianhong shrugged, and did not continue to mock them condescendingly.

  He can actually understand that these people in front of him are not the initiators of the war, but just like himself, they are ordinary people who were innocently involved in this dispute.

  Looking at Muda who was lost in thought and the sailor who lowered his head in confusion, Sisi lowered his embraced arms and continued speaking slowly.

"It's not hard to understand. If someone wants this war to continue, they must have a reason to continue. For example, an escaped attack submarine, a ghost of death lurking on the bottom of the sea... Its existence is enough to make those who engage in The majority who don't know the situation are panicked, and instigated by the panic, become the silent accomplices of this war, and at the same time help them cover up some things that are not convenient for others to know."

   When it came to this, she paused, and continued in a half-joking tone.

"Actually, before you came here, I was wondering if you would hand over that probe to the Federal Navy...I bet if you did, we'd never see you again, and you Never had a chance to see these things."

  Mu Da was silent for a while, then said with a complicated expression.

   "If it was yesterday, I would probably refute you, but now I really don't have the confidence... Maybe you are right, there are indeed some problems within us."

  Honestly, he did have a similar feeling before.

  Especially when he realized that there might be an inner ghost in the navy, he felt vaguely that he and the other two subordinates might be silenced because they knew too much.

   It was precisely because of this that he pulled the two behind him to collude in a statement, concealed part of the clues, and sent the detector here immediately.

  Looking at Muda with a complicated expression, Sisi continued to speak.

   "How about a discussion?"

   Mu Da looked at her.

   "What are you discussing?"

  Sis continued.

   "This area is the sea area you are responsible for patrolling. The sailors who perform missions there are all yours. They listen to you more than the Federal Navy Command, right?"

   "Of course, they are all lads from the circular island, and we all belong to the same settlement." Mu Da replied without hesitation, and then looked at her suspiciously, "Is there any problem?"

  Sisi bent his lips and continued.

   "Since the existing evidence is sufficient to prove the innocence of these crew members, why don't you just turn a blind eye to the existence of this submarine and the crew members who came ashore? Just pretend you didn't see it."

  Mu Da was stunned for two seconds, looking at her dumbfounded.

   "Such a large submarine with nearly 600 people, how can you tell us to turn a blind eye?"

"It's very simple," Sisi said with a slight smile, "We usually sink the Dolphin at the bottom of the sea, and we won't let it float up unless necessary. Oh, by the way, if the Federal Navy comes over, remember to say hello to us in advance, We will drive it away and let the residents on the shore pay attention."

   According to the available information, although the Southern Islands Federation does not have a decent army, it has at least a dozen warships cruising in the southern waters.

At present, the foundation of the alliance in the Baiyue Strait is not stable. Although it has a strong army, it does not even have a reliable anti-ship weapon. The survivors were completely pushed to the Church of the Torch.

  In contrast, they have a better option, allowing those guns that were originally aimed at Vault 70 to aim at the Torch Cultists in Haiya Province.

  In fact, it can be seen from the attitude of those magic sticks towards the local survivors that the strength of the Southern Islands Federation is not weak, and it is even enough to pose a threat to the torch.

   Otherwise, those people would have stretched their hands in with great fanfare just like they did with the survivors in Jinhe City, and they would not have resorted to infiltration methods.

   Mu Da stared at Sisi intently, and said with a slight frown.

   "I don't understand... why don't you let me take this opportunity to help them get cleared?"

  In his opinion, this is a good opportunity.

  If more people can know what happened to the more than 500 survivors on the Dolphin, at least they can win the support of the 30,000 Coral City survivors scattered on various islands.

  At that time, even the president will have to respond.

  However, upon hearing his words, Sisi just smiled faintly.

"So, how are you going to help them get rid of the charges? Paste these photos on the newspaper, or throw them on the table of the Federal Navy Command? It's useless at all, even if it proves that the Dolphin is a misunderstanding , nor can it prove that the matter of the Ocean Current Power Station has nothing to do with Vault 70, let alone make those who plan to fall to the Church of the Torch stand on our side."

  The latter is the key.

   There are people in the Southern Islands Federation who can see the truth clearly, but this does not mean that they will definitely stand on the side of the facts.

  Haiya Province has everything they need in the southern sea area, including technology, resources, and land.

  If you want to win over the survivors in the southern waters, you need more than just evidence, you also need to make the Baiyue Strait an acceptable substitute.

  Whether it’s economic issues or “slime mold” governance issues, if the Alliance can do better than the Church of the Torch, most people will re-join even out of interest considerations.

  That's what the whole plan is all about.

  Mu Da looked at her blankly, took a deep breath and said.

   "Then what are you going to do?"

   Sisi said.

   "Step by step, before showing the evidence, we have to draw as many people as possible to our chariot."

   Mu Da asked seriously.

"for example?"

  Siss: "For example, the nearest place to us, such as your hometown...the circular island troubled by fresh water. We promised the governor there before to help them solve the problem of fresh water supply. Now it's time to give him an answer."

  Mu Da looked at her with a strange expression.

   "Have you solved it? That's a settlement of 100,000 people... Do you know how much fresh water is needed there?"

   Sisi said with a smile.

"I know, but so what? We are standing on a piece of land now, a piece of land that you once gave up and thought was impossible to conquer. Let alone a hundred thousand people, even if it is ten million people, one hundred million... We also have a way to supply it.”

   Mu Da swallowed.

   "Then how are you going to send fresh water there? By boat?"

  Sisi shook his head and said slowly.

"That's too much trouble. We're more inclined to build a 200-nautical-mile-long water pipe... We really didn't have any good solutions before, but the situation is different now. We have the Dolphin, and more than 500 people who are good at underwater construction experts with rich experience in construction.”

   Reached out and patted the hard cabin beside her, she continued with a bright smile on her face.

   "You just need to turn a blind eye to them and help us keep an eye on the Federation fleet!"
