Chapter 227 Funeral

  Chapter 227 Funeral

  After the battle,

  Chu Guang had people count the casualties.

  There were 37 guards stationed at Changjiu Farm, 25 of whom died, 4 were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured. There were

  a total of 221 players participating in the battle, but only half of them actually engaged the enemy. Many reinforcements from the outpost base had just arrived at the battlefield when the battle in front was over.

  Apart from the 4 people who died in the melee and the 2 who were seriously injured, the rest were slightly injured. Even if the motion sickness was counted, there were less than 10 people.

  Since there was no irreversible damage, the injured players just had to lie in the incubator in the shelter for a while, which was not a big problem.

  As for the predators, although they were unstoppable at the beginning, they were quickly pressed to the ground as the players joined the battlefield.

  A total of 107 people were annihilated, 40 of whom were killed by mosquito cannons. When Bianbian led people to search over, only one was still half alive. Because the scene was too hideous, Bianbian couldn’t bear to watch it, so he gave him a quick death.

  In addition, there were more than 40 prisoners, half of whom were seriously injured and more than 40% were slightly injured.

  It was not a righteous act to massacre those who gave up resistance. Wrench did not execute these prisoners, but this did not mean forgiveness. It would

  be too easy for them to die.

  They should repent with labor in the ice and snow, and cultivate the wasteland north of Linghu until they paid for their sins or died.

  Due to the lack of cells, everyone was stuffed into a warehouse, which was so small that there was no place to lie down. It was pitch dark. There were no

  medicines or even bandages for dressing. Some seriously injured prisoners soon died, and even if some of them were still alive, it would be difficult for them to survive tonight.

  …

  On the other side, the guards’ station.

  In the room where the wounded were placed.

  The boy with a bandage on his stomach was lying on his back on a stretcher, so weak that he only had half a breath left.

  He was shot at least twice in the stomach, and there was a piece of shrapnel embedded in his shoulder.

  Such a serious injury, in the wasteland with backward medical conditions, can basically be diagnosed as a death.

  He didn’t feel too sad. When he picked up the gun, he thought he would die, but he didn’t expect that day to come so soon.

  If there was any regret, it was that he didn’t drink the bowl of hot soup in the end.

  I really want to know what it tastes like…

  Just when he felt a little sleepy, he vaguely heard someone calling his name.

  ”Lü Bei!”

  He tried to open his eyes a little, and saw a boy with a bandage on his arm running towards him.

  ”…Xu Shun?”

  ”Lü Bei! Great, you’re still alive!”

  Lü Bei smiled weakly and was about to say something, but saw Xu Shun hurriedly took out a needle and then stabbed him in the arm.

  There was no stinging feeling.

  Lü Bei even doubted whether there was a needle.

  Looking at his relieved friend, he hesitated for a moment and said,

  ”What is this?”

  ”Treatment needle! It was given to us by the administrator. It is said that as long as there is half a breath left, we can save him!”

  Xu Shun smiled and continued with a sense of relief.

  ”Finally I made it! I thought it was too late!”

  Treatment needle?

  Lü Bei was stunned.

  Will that thing work?

  Just as he was thinking this, the wounds on his stomach and shoulders felt like ten thousand ants crawling over them, making him want to scratch them.

  The pain began to return.

  This is a good thing.

  Lu Bei gradually felt that his cold body seemed to be warming up, and his originally hazy consciousness gradually became clear.

  His eyes widened, full of disbelief.

  It really works? !

  It’s amazing!

  Looking at Lu Bei who was gradually recovering, Xu Shun reached out to hold his arm and said excitedly.

  ”Brother, do you feel better?”

  Lu Bei nodded.

  ”Much better… But I haven’t removed the shrapnel in my shoulder yet.”

  Xu Shun said.

  ”You are too weak now to have surgery. I’m afraid you have to wait for a while to recover before removing the shrapnel.”

  At this point, he sighed.

  ”Alas, it’s a pity that the dumpling soup is all mushy, but it tastes okay after heating it up. Do you feel like you can eat something now? If you can, I’ll go get you a bowl.” When

  Lu Bei heard that there was food, he immediately became energetic and reached out to hold the bed board.

  ”Let’s go together.”

  ”Let’s go together?”

  Before Xu Shun could react, he was surprised to see that his good brother, who was only half alive a few minutes ago, actually sat up from the bed.

  Touching his stomach, Lv Bei said with a grin.

  ”I’m not sure, but I feel much better… Look, there’s nothing wrong.”

  As he said that, he jumped off the bed and urged his friend.

  ”Hurry up, it will get cold again if you wait any longer!”

  It was not only Lv Bei who recovered, but the other three seriously injured guards also recovered with the help of treatment.

  However, although the treatment needle can speed up recovery, it cannot regenerate broken limbs, nor can it restore the burned skin to the same as before.

  Lv Bei is probably the luckiest one, as the two bullets did not hit the vitals.

  If it was a little lower or a little higher, he would probably have to spend the rest of his life in regret.

  ”Have all the medicines been distributed?”

  Standing at the gate of the guard’s station, Chu Guang found Wrench who was directing the aftermath.

  This guy is also a ruthless person. The polymer bulletproof plate hanging in front of the “Type 5” exoskeleton has been completely broken. His left arm and right leg were shot respectively, but he relied on the exoskeleton to drive and fought tenaciously to the end.

  Unlike the players,

  they have no weakening of pain. They

  don’t have a second life.

  This bravery deserves at least a silver medal!

  ”It has been issued…” Noticing the manager’s gaze on his chest, Wrench looked down and his expression was instantly a little ashamed, “Sorry, I broke the equipment you gave me.”

  Chu Guang looked at him and said.

  ”Raise your head. You’ve done a good job. Equipment can be repaired if it’s broken, and replaced if it can’t be repaired. But you only have one life. I hope you can consider the latter more important than the former.”

  Four treatment needles, two boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs, and more than ten boxes of hemostatic bandages.

  Chu Guang used to dislike the useless intermediate blind box, but this time it came in handy.

  However, this wave of consumption almost emptied his medicine reserves.

  The war is imminent.

  It seems that the points have accumulated to 120 points. This time I’ll go back and throw them on the intermediate blind box.

  Wrench’s face showed a touch of emotion.

  He knew how expensive the exoskeleton was after seeing it in the store.

  He raised his head and said in a sonorous voice.

  ”Yes, sir!”

  Chu Guang looked at him and nodded approvingly.

  ”Later, I’ll have someone make you a steel breastplate to replace it.”

  ”Now, take me to see the wounded.”

  ”Yes!” Wrench nodded excitedly and walked in front.

  Just as the two walked towards the guard’s station, a young man slipped out of the station.

  The north wind was howling outside. Lü Bei tightened his coat, which had many holes in it, and walked towards a place a little to the north.

  A big battle had just broken out here. The ground was full of trampled snow and mud mixed with blood. Shocking footprints were hard on the ground and had not yet completely frozen. Several

  guards who came to reinforce stood nearby on duty, supervising several prisoners of war to drag the bodies to the open space and line them up.

  The bodies were easy to identify. The guards were all wearing black coats, and the plunderers were wearing ugly furs.

  The bodies of the guards were covered with cloth or something else.

  The bodies of the plunderers were lying on their backs, and a truck would tow them away soon.

  The bodies would attract scavengers and were more likely to bring plague, so they had to be disposed of in time.

  Noticing the boy wrapped in a coat, a guard walked up and urged him to leave.

  ”Hey, what are you hanging around here for? Go back quickly, or your wounds will freeze.”

  Lü Bei muttered in a low voice.

  ”I’ll go back later. I’ll find someone.”

  Seeing the expression on his face, the guard was stunned.

  After a moment of silence, he nodded.

  ”Then hurry up.”

  ”Thank you!”

  After nodding his head in thanks, Lv Bei immediately trotted in. After searching among the dead for a while, he finally found the person he was looking for.

  His breathing paused slightly.

  His trembling fingers lifted the sackcloth.

  After taking a look at the frosted wrinkles and eyebrows, Lv Bei’s Adam’s apple moved. This time, he finally believed what his comrades said to him.

  After a long silence, Lv Bei silently took out a still warm lunch box from his arms and placed it next to the old man’s face.

  ”…The captain told me that this requires more courage than facing the claws of death.”

  ”He also said that thanks to you, we responded in the first place, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.”

  ”He said that our enemies are much stronger than the bloody hands, and defeating them is something to be proud of. We not only defeated our enemies, but also defeated our past.”

  ”The captain said a lot more, but I can’t remember them. I just remember that the dumpling soup tasted good, especially when it was just scooped out of the pot. After a mouthful, my whole body was warm…”

  ”…I put it here.”

  Lu Bei was about to get up when he suddenly saw the whistle bitten on his cracked lips.

  After a moment of silence, Lu Bei reached out and gently pulled the whistle bitten by his teeth, and took it out of his mouth.

  He found a pocket without holes on his scarred coat and carefully put it in for safekeeping.

  ”Thank you.”

  ”I’ll keep it for you.”

  He whispered, and the boy covered him with a cloth, stood up, saluted, and walked away in the direction of the guard station…

  …

  Official website:

  [Announcement for the whole server: The emergency mission is over. Thank you all. You have thwarted the raider’s raid. The victory belongs to you! ] [Announcement for the whole server:

  All players who respond to the mobilization will receive a bronze gear medal, and the team with the highest score will receive a silver gear medal. ]

  [Battle rewards will be settled later. I wish you all a happy holiday. ]

  For the natives of the wasteland, the price of any victory is heavy.

  But for players who do not belong to this world, this is just a game after all.

  After taking off their helmets, they still have to eat the dumplings they haven’t finished, or reheat the cold takeout. There may be unfinished work to do later.

  Chu Guang pondered for a long time, and finally did not write his heavy mood in the announcement.

  Today is New Year’s Day.

  There will be a funeral at dawn.

  The battle report can wait until tomorrow.

  Things outside the main plot can be written in the official website’s setting collection, or put in the game as Easter eggs for players to discover.

  They have done a good job.

  Humanity should not be tortured by a dog planner.

  Forum:

  Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: “Brothers, how’s the situation on the front line? Is the team battle over?”

  Lao Bai: “It was a lonely fight. When we rushed over from the outpost, the fight in front was already over.”

  Tail: “Tail was the first to go up! This time he must be the MVP! (｀)Ψ”

  WC Really Has Mosquitoes: “Don’t think about it, the MVP must be me, I wiped out four teams by myself! (grin)”

  Tail: “!!!”

  Battlefield Atmosphere Group: “What the hell?!”

  Ye Shi: “What the hell! Are you cheating?!”

  Professor Yang, the King of Lightning: “If you don’t understand, just ask, how many people are there in the four teams?”

  Kuangfeng: “Predators are usually teams of ten…”

  Professor Yang, the King of Lightning: “Awesome!”

  Quit Smoking: “Damn, so strong?!”

  Irena: “Okay, okay, goblin technology is rising strongly. (Funny)”

  Yaer I Want to Go to the Toilet: “Awesome, awesome! The cannons are ours! (flipping the table)”

  What can I do with my father? “Laugh, that’s all? It’s less than a company in total. In my uncle’s regiment, the weakest cook has killed more than a hundred people. There are only forty of them, not even rookies.”

  Irena: “Brother, although we are a hacker forum, you can’t say such things casually. (Funny)”

  Ye Shi: “If you don’t understand, just ask. Is your uncle Hailding? (Funny)”

  …

  The funeral of the fallen guards was held in the early morning of the next day.

  All the guards lined up at the north gate, fired three shots into the sky, and then transported the bodies of the dead to the truck.

  In the wasteland, burying in the soil is equivalent to sending food to the aliens. Many aliens have the habit of digging in the soil for food and digging holes.

  If they can choose, almost no one will choose burial.

  The wish of most guards is to go to that iron furnace like those blue coats who once helped them.

  Some people also hope to be cremated and have their ashes scattered in the lake, on a tall building, or in the place where they once fought and defended.

  No one knows their last wishes better than their comrades, and the survivors will do those “afterwards” for them.

  He stayed at the funeral until the end.

  Before leaving, Chu Guang suddenly noticed that several players were watching from a distance, and they stayed until the end like him.

  Shao Cheabaozi: “By the way… if the NPC in this game dies, can’t it be refreshed?”

  Makabazi: “It should be. I remember that it seems that if they die, they will be gone, but there will be others to take over their positions.”

  Shao Cheabaozi sighed.

  ”Hey…”

  Makabazi glanced at him.

  ”What’s wrong, brother? Emo so early in the morning?”

  Shao Cheabaozi: “Nothing… I just counted and found that one person was missing.”

  Makabazi was surprised: “Huh, you can still remember their faces?”

  He is face-blind, and there are not many faces he can remember in real life, let alone games with filters.

  The only ones he can remember are probably Xiaoyu and Boss Xia, and at most Luca.

  Oh yes, and the respected administrator.

  But the manager doesn’t always show his face, so it’s not very meaningful to remember his face. The dark blue power armor is more representative.

  Shao Cheaduzi sighed and said.

  ”No, I only remember a few. For example, the old man would go to the lake to watch us fishing on his weekends every week. As soon as I saw his expression, I knew he was a fellow fisherman. I recommended the fishing rod to him at that time, and taught him how to catch leeches with a bottle…”

  Makabazi was stunned.

  ”Ah, this… is there a hidden task?”

  ”No.”

  Shao Cheaduzi shook his head and sighed for the third time.

  ”Although it’s a meaningless thing, it’s also quite interesting.”

  ”And when I think about the fact that the fishing friend won’t come again, it’s still a bit lonely…”

  ——

  (I overestimated my hand speed… I wanted to finish writing the next paragraph and post it together, but when I saw the time, I felt uncomfortable TT)
