Chapter 449 Eternal “Love”
Chapter 449 Eternal “Love”
Unprofessional Fan Man: “It’s not moving?!”
Xinghe Bu Ru Meng: “What’s going on?”
Luo Yu: “I don’t know! I put on the helmet and watched the countdown, but the timer stopped. QAQ”
Feng Qing: “???”
Xinghe Bu Ru Meng: “I was scared to death. I quickly put it on and took a look. Fortunately, I’m fine.”
Gui Gui: “It’s weird. Aren’t you on the same plane?”
Xinghe Bu Ru Meng: “I don’t know!! (Laughing to death) (Funny)”
Luo Yu: “(Angry)”
In “Wasteland OL”, being able to fly a plane into the sky is not news. Everyone can pull the joystick and step on the accelerator. Being able to drive the plane back safely is awesome.
At first, when everyone heard that Luo Yu had crashed the plane again, they didn’t feel anything, and even typed “Basic Operation Don’t 6” for him on the public screen.
However, when they heard that the resurrection countdown was stuck, the players who were brushing 666 couldn’t 6 anymore, and the ones flying the plane were all blown out.
Everyone expressed disbelief and asked him to prove it.
However, the problem with this game is that the image is not directly displayed on the retina, but even skips the optic nerve and goes directly to the brain.
Unless you are the owner of the helmet, other players who are eligible for the closed beta test will not be able to see anything when wearing it.
In other words, it is not possible to put a mobile phone into the helmet to take a photo. Fang Chang tried this operation when he first got the helmet.
Ye Shi: “That’s impossible. Although our Brother Guang is not very good at playing games and has a small mind, he is honest and upright. If he really bans your account, he will definitely not give you a locked resurrection CD. Try putting on your helmet and take a look. Maybe it’s stuck?”
Kuangfeng: “A Guang: I’ll remember you. (side eye)”
Ye Shi: “Brother Guang, I was wrong. (awkward)”
Makabazi: “Hahaha! Coward! Hahaha! Flying!”
Fang Chang: “Could it be a bug? I’ll ask for you.”
Mosquito: “What kind of bug? It must be cheating! Brother, tell me quickly, where did you buy the cheat? How much is it per month? (smirk)”
Luo Yu: “Zhao! This game doesn’t even have an operating system, what kind of cheat is this! (crazy)”
Teng Teng: “Too miserable…”
Ya Ya: “Yeah. Under normal circumstances, being locked up in a small dark room by A Guang only lasts for 72 hours. It will pass if you hold on. At least there is hope. The resurrection countdown is stuck… It feels like a ghost story. (╯﹏╰)b”
WC has mosquitoes: “What? Yaya was locked up in the dark room by A Guang???”
Debt Big Eyes: “I bet A Guang is in the dark room too!!”
Garbage Picker Level 99: “Giao! Hurry up and pass it on for Tail!”
Yaya: “???”
As the victim continued to broadcast the “withdrawal reaction” live, the post became more and more popular and soon became the most popular post on the forum. Players and cloud players came to join in the fun.
Under the encouragement of the onlookers, A Guang, who had been pretending to be dead for five minutes, finally emerged.
”Hey, everyone, please be patient. Since no player has been killed by a nuclear bomb so far, there is a little bug in the memory program, but it’s not a big problem! I have reported the bug to the technical department. The colleagues in the technical department said that they will find two plumbers to come and take a look later.”
Luo Yu: “What do you mean it’s not a big problem! (Angry)”
Guang: “Of course, we will give certain compensation to the affected accounts. As for the compensation plan, it is currently under study. It should be a very special reward… I will have a meeting with my colleagues to discuss it later.”
Luo Yu: “Brother!!! (Excited)”
WC is really a mosquito: “What the hell? There is compensation?”
Quitting smoking: “Is it too late to be bombed by a nuclear bomb now? ?”
Fang Chang: “Hey, I just want to ask… Where are the nuclear bombs near the ideal city? I don’t mean anything else, it’s mainly because I miss home.”
Looking at the replies in the forum, Chu Guang’s eyebrows couldn’t help twitching.
These guys…
Can they be a little more promising! However, it is indeed a big problem that players cannot log
in. Affecting the game experience is a small matter, but triggering an emergency task is a big deal.
The morphogenetic field is the biggest trump card in the hands of the alliance.
The only uncertainty now is whether this situation is caused by external factors or because the shelter judged that the clones were risky and took the initiative to cut them off.
No matter which case it is.
This unstable factor must be eliminated as the first priority!
Thinking of this, Chu Guang immediately gave an order.
”Xiao Qi, issue a task to all players in the area near the coordinates, and ask them to go to the scene and recover the pilot’s body.”
Xiao Qi reminded in a low voice.
”But master, that coordinate area is outside the communication range.”
Chu Guang was slightly stunned.
”Aren’t they offline yet?”
”Maybe they are celebrating because they just won a victory?” Xiao Qi said in an uncertain tone.
Well…
there is indeed such a possibility.
Chu Guang thought for a moment and gave an order.
”Copy the task information to the VM of the player ‘WC Zhen You Mosquito’ and have him fly a plane to deliver it to them.”
Since the Beta version era, the range of players’ activities has become larger and larger, and the proportion of players who have been active outside the alliance’s communication range for a long time has reached nearly 6%.
Chu Guang asked Xiao Qi to upgrade the software program of VM. Not only can players accept tasks from the shelter offline on the official website, but the player’s VM also has the function of a task transmitter, which can synchronize the NPC’s preset tasks to the task bar of nearby players under certain circumstances.
The scope of issuing tasks in this way is very short, and it is usually only used as an emergency measure.
Xiao Qi, who was sitting at the table, tilted his head.
”But it doesn’t matter if it’s out of range?”
Chu Guang smiled faintly.
”It doesn’t matter. One less plane is not a big problem. Let him put a folding bicycle in the cabin and find a flat land to land.”
…
North of Petra Fortress.
The market at the gate of the city is now decorated with lights and people are crowded. The lively atmosphere is like a blazing fire.
The sound of clinking glasses extends from the tavern to the street, and the drunkards with their arms around each other shout in drunken voices.
”Long live the kingdom!”
”Long live the spirit of the sea of sand!”
”Cheers to the Lord of God!”
”Hahaha! Don’t go home until you’re drunk tonight!”
There is no curfew for the whole night. The Lord of the City said that as long as they want, they can drink until dawn.
Only tonight, the patrolling guards will not chase these drunkards home, but will stand by to prevent them from getting drunk and making trouble.
Just a few hours ago, they had just defeated the invincible legion, stopped the curse and disaster that fell on Oasis No. 4, and protected the peace of the kingdom.
It is said that the day after tomorrow, His Majesty the King will personally visit this fortress to commend their bravery. And the high priest of the kingdom will also arrive to meet the kind and merciful Lord of God.
Until now, no one will doubt the identity of Lord of God.
All the soldiers or militiamen who participated in the battle witnessed the scene in the Lost Valley.
The light that shattered the clouds and the flames and gas columns that destroyed the world are undoubtedly the description of the end of the world in “The Word of Silver Moon”!
Just as people were immersed in the joy of victory and survival, a plane appeared in the night sky in the north and was seen by the patrolling guards.
”What is that?”
There was a bright light in the sky.
He immediately took a look with a telescope and saw a plane with a shark head painted on it, flying towards this side with lights on.
The bloody teeth showed that the coming was not good, and sharks were even more ferocious beasts in the mouths of the sailors in Silver Moon Bay.
The guards immediately became alert and reported the discovery to the captain of the patrol team.
The captain did not dare to neglect it and immediately gave an order.
”Cavalry team, assemble, follow me out to take a look!”
The plane did not go directly to the Petra Fortress, but landed on the northern sand dunes.
A pair of cavalrymen rushed out of the city and surrounded the direction where the plane landed.
Mosquito just climbed out of the cabin and saw a circle of cavalrymen carrying horse rifles around him.
The murderous scene made him stunned, and when he came to his senses, he immediately pulled out the alliance flag in the cabin.
”Don’t do it! We’re on the same side!”
…
City Lord’s Mansion.
In the granite hall, the orchestra played melodious and elegant music, and people in luxurious clothes also drank to their heart’s content to celebrate the hard-won victory.
People came and went in front of the long tables, which were filled with pottery filled with fine wine, and the plates were filled with roasted chicken legs, lamb legs, beef, and all kinds of strange vegetables and fruits. The
food here is rich in variety, and it is so much that it is outrageous.
Sitting in front of the long table, the players of the Skeleton Corps fully carried forward the spirit of the clean plate. One by one, they turned into gluttons, eating and drinking with their stomachs opened, and they did not forget to talk in a low voice.
”Hey, if we buy some cattle and sheep from here and transport them back, we will definitely make a fortune!”
”Let’s talk about it when we get back. We have to go to the southwest of the Lion Kingdom to meet up with the main force and go north to liberate the Honey Badger Kingdom… There are still a lot of activities to do later.”
”When do we leave?”
”It depends on when the logistics convoy arrives. We can’t just drive a tank across it.
” “By the way, I think the princess of the Honey Badger Kingdom is really good-looking.”
”Damn, why is the manager not interested!”
”Why do you care about this?”
”I made a bet!”
”Damn…”
As reinforcements from the Alliance, they were warmly received by the lord of Petra Fortress.
Whether it was because of the fifteen tanks that beat the legion into a panic, or because most of these people were awakened, they were worthy of this respect.
Benefits do not necessarily have to be obtained through war, but strength is always the basis of respect.
No one cared about their starving appearance.
Even a traditional noble like Ruskin, who was particular about the angle and strength of cutting steaks, would selectively ignore their indecent behavior at the banquet, and instead be impressed by their casual demeanor and appetite, and admire them very much.
The surrender faction of the Hump Kingdom is slightly different from that of the Golden Lizard Kingdom.
The latter is due to vested interests, while the former is simply a worship of force and a dislike of unstable situations.
If the Alliance can defeat the Legion on the front battlefield, they certainly don’t mind kneeling in the other direction.
”Spirit of the Sand Sea… that guy just stuffed at least half a lamb into his stomach!”
”Where did all the food go?”
”That guy over there ate five chickens!”
”Unbelievable… How rude.”
”Rude? Since you call that rude! If I can eat five roasted chickens in one meal, I’ll eat them with my hands!”
”Correct, eating meat with big mouthfuls is the elegance of a warrior… it’s just a cultural difference at most.”
”With so many brave and skilled warriors, no wonder the Alliance dares to wrestle with the Legion!”
Just as a group of nobles who had eaten their fill and had nothing to do were surprised and stunned, whispering about whether to choose two sons-in-law to improve the collateral bloodline, Sisi on the other side seemed to be in trouble.
Lord Sean walked up to her.
The strong man had a bandage on his arm. Because he was slightly drunk, his face, which was covered with stubble and looked majestic without anger, was a little rosy.
”Excuse me, do you have a husband?”
”No, what’s wrong?”
”Where’s your fiancé?”
”…What for?”
”Can I be your suitor?”
Hearing this, the sesame paste that was drinking milk next to him almost spit out. Tail and Meat, who were competing to see who could eat more chicken legs, immediately ended the battle and raised their heads excitedly.
”Oh oh oh! Sisi was proposed to by an NPC!”
”Pass it on! Sisi has a child!”
Sisi was stunned on the spot.
”…Ah?”
Taking those few incomprehensible cheers as encouragement, Sean looked at her intently, with sincerity in his affectionate eyes.
”…I know it may be a bit abrupt for me to say this, but I can’t keep these words in my heart. Your beauty and bravery attracted me. Can you give me a chance to pursue you?”
”If you are still angry with me because of what happened before, I sincerely apologize to you.”
Sisi stared at this guy blankly.
”I’m not angry…but you have a wife, right?”
The bearded man smiled shyly and said a little shyly.
”There are only three… But it doesn’t matter. I’m not in love with them, just a marriage.”
Sisi: “…”
Weiba: “Giao!”
Rourou asked softly: “Awei, how do I pass this?”
Weiba pinched her chin and looked like she was thinking hard.
Suddenly her eyes lit up, but before she could say anything, her mouth was covered by a smiling Zhima Paste, leaving only a humming sound leaking out from her fingers.
”Don’t be so bitter, Awei.”
Sisi, who came back to his senses without listening carefully to his friends’ jokes, sighed.
”Sorry, you’re a good person.”
Although it’s not necessary to be so serious in the game, this guy is too far from her ideal type.
Not to mention the art style of “X and Producer”, at least he has to be as tall, mighty, handsome, and serious as the manager…
Well, actually the first two don’t matter, the main thing is to see a serious person being trained to be unserious.
The contrast between the inside and outside is very good.
Sean was stunned, with a confused expression on his face, and his mind did not turn around for a while.
He is a good person…
Why should he apologize?
…
On the other side of the banquet hall.
The mole poured himself a glass of wine, looked at the dazzling barbecue on the table, and sighed leisurely.
”It would be great if Lao Na was here.”
There are a lot of food here, but there are very few cooking methods. No matter what kind of meat, it is sprinkled with spices and stuffed into the oven, and then served on vegetable leaves.
Then there are all kinds of fruits, some of which can be found in reality, and some he has never seen.
It is said that there are sandworms taller than the city walls in several nearby deserts.
If Lao Na was here, she would definitely be ecstatic.
A centurion sitting next to him thought he was talking to him, but he didn’t understand what he was saying, so he said embarrassedly.
”Sorry, what did you say?”
”Nothing, I said… It would be great if my good brother Lao Na was here.” The mole repeated it slowly in human language.
”He…”
The centurion’s Adam’s apple moved, and he vaguely guessed something from his expression, so he stopped talking.
”Dead.”
After saying the unspoken word for him, the Mole burped with a sad face, and embellished the story of what happened at dusk.
”In order to buy me time, he took the initiative to drive the tank out, acting as bait to attract the enemy’s firepower, and ended up hitting the shells of the legion tanks… When the battle was over and I went to see, there was not even a complete body inside.”
The centurion was silent for a moment.
The burly man patted him on the shoulder and comforted him in a deep voice.
”…Don’t be too sad, the spirit of the sea of sand will remember his bravery, and he died for sacred honor, and his soul will enter the eternal oasis.”
”I’m not sad, what’s there to be sad about,” the Mole shook his head and slowly sipped the red wine, “Anyway, I’ll fall asleep soon and I’ll be able to see that guy.”
Hearing this, everyone around was silent.
The centurion sniffed, and a young lady next to him secretly wiped her eyes.
He went to a foreign country to fight, but his comrade fell at the last moment before dawn and could not drink the wine of victory together.
His pretending to be strong was heartbreaking.
However, they did not know that every word the old man said was true.
When the banquet is over, he will find a place to lie down, and he can brag on the official website with those guys.
No problem!
The centurion did not say any more words of comfort, but just raised his glass and clinked it with the mole.
”The alliance will always be our friend, I will remember this friendship, and may our friendship last forever!”
The tone was extremely sincere and sincere.
The mole grinned and clinked glasses with him.
”May our friendship last forever!”
As soon as the voice fell, the door of the banquet hall suddenly opened.
Amid the melodious music, a guard wearing a bulletproof house quickly walked to the side of the Lord of Sean.
”Sir, a plane landed in the Gobi Desert north of Petra. The pilot who got off the plane claimed to be from the Alliance.”
Sion, who had just been given the nice guy card, was still confused and couldn’t understand why he was rejected.
However, after hearing the report from the guard, he immediately put aside his sentimentality and became serious.
”Please invite him here.”
The soldier stood up straight and saluted, then turned around and walked back quickly.
Sion cleared his throat, went to find the corps commander named Mole, and walked to the door of the banquet hall with him.
Soon the pilot was brought in.
He was wearing a pilot’s hat made of hyena skin on his head. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the dazzling array of food and wine in the banquet hall, and his eyes widened in an instant.
”Fuck, I was beaten to a pulp on the front line, and you guys are eating too well!”
He was bragging about being beaten to a pulp.
The battle in the afternoon was not difficult at all. The opposing planes didn’t even have a chance to rush up for a dogfight, and were completely destroyed by a round of artillery fire from the manager.
This was the most satisfying time he had ever had eating fries. He had never felt so comfortable even when he was fighting the Bone Chewing Tribe.
Seeing that this guy had never seen the world, Mole coughed quickly.
”Don’t embarrass the Alliance… Why are you here?”
”Hey,” Mosquito raised his eyebrows and said with a beaming face, “The Administrator personally ordered me to come and deliver a letter.”
As he said that, he tapped the VM with his index finger twice, and soon the slight vibration was synchronized to Mole’s arm.
[Task 1: Investigate the crash site of the “Cloud Dragonfly” flapping-wing aircraft.]
[Task 2: Recover the body (or remains) of pilot Luo Yu.]
The moment he saw these two tasks, Mole was stunned.
Recovering the remains is not bad.
Good man, after being hit by a three-phase bomb with a yield of one million, what remains can be left…
Can there be two taels of ashes left?
”…Isn’t this fucking unreasonable?” He finally couldn’t help but complain.
Mosquito said with a chuckle.
”I also think that this thing can only be found by Brother Qiangrenxinan.”
Mole: “No… what’s the use of that thing?”
Mosquito: “Who knows! But it is reasonable to do this task. You may not know if you are not offline. Our brother Luoyu seems to have been hit by a bug by a nuclear bomb.”
Mole: “What the hell?”
This game actually has a bug?
No wonder it is being fixed every time it is updated…
Mosquito continued.
”Anyway, A Guang is contacting the technical department to repair it, but he probably didn’t notify the NPC in the game, so the manager asked his most loyal uncle Mosquito to come and take a look.” Mole
: “…”
Mosquito said with a chuckle: “Give me a ride on the way there, I am also very curious, mainly because I have never seen what it looks like to be hit by a nuclear bomb.” He
didn’t understand the conversation between the two at all.
The confused Lord Sion was about to ask what the two were talking about, when Sisi came out of the banquet hall and looked at him and said.
”The new prophecy, the evil spirits awakened by the Legion have not been completely sealed, we need to deal with the barrier that seals the curse… The Lord of God just told me.”
Obviously she also received the task, including the people of the White Bear Knights.
Hearing Sisi’s words, Sean was not embarrassed by the previous rejection, but frowned solemnly.
”But now the Lost Land is piled with a lot of curses, and the negative energy there can even make the grass and trees wither, unless we use-”
”We brought anti-radiation agents and radiation-proof clothing, so it’s not a big problem.”
Looking at the girl in front of him, Sean asked seriously.
”Do we have to go?”
Sisi said nonsense seriously.
”This is for the safety of the residents of Petra Fortress. We must ensure that the curse there has been permanently sealed… The Lord of God said that this is her obligation and responsibility. I hope you can understand.”
Sean was silent for a while and nodded.
”I know, I will arrange a guide for you.”
”Good luck to you.”
The mole and mosquito standing next to them looked at each other, exchanging surprise in each other’s eyes.
”Awesome…”
”666.” He
said nonsense seriously without blushing. The most amazing thing was that the other party actually believed it! It
was really something…
…
Lost Valley.
In the deep and dark cave, there was a room full of bottles and jars. If it weren’t for the malfunctioning terminals and the culture dishes connected to the terminals, you couldn’t tell that this was a laboratory.
The white dove, with a face as dirty as a swamp, touched his chin in confusion, looking at the young man lying unconscious on the iron bed, muttering to himself.
”Shouldn’t it be?”
The heart and lung function had been revived, but the man just couldn’t wake up, as if he had lost his soul.
It was really weird.
He had lived for so long, but this was the first time he had seen such a bizarre thing…
Time went back a few hours ago.
I don’t know which idiot detonated a nuclear bomb outside, causing half of the nearby mountain to collapse, and almost buried him alive.
Fortunately, the center of the explosion occurred in the center of the valley, nearly 10 kilometers away from the mountain fortress.
Fortunately, there are a lot of alloy structures left in the wreckage of the river bank, which blocked some of the high-energy rays.
If there weren’t so many “losses”, I’m afraid only the mother “Xiao Hong” could survive.
Although he survived with his strong recovery ability, the mortal guy was not so lucky. The macromolecules in his body were instantly pierced into sieves by high-energy rays, and a large area of organic tissue was necrotic.
If this guy was left alone, he would definitely die.
Seeing the fate, Bai Ge decided to help him, so he asked Xiao Hong to make a “seed of life” and gave it to him.
The so-called seed of life is the name Bai Ge gave himself.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the hyphae of the mother body.
However, unlike slime molds in other regions, these “symbiotic slime molds” will neither extract the nutrients of the host itself, nor devour the host to seek its own evolution, nor turn the host into themselves.
Instead, it will sacrifice its own consciousness, become part of the host, give the host powerful abilities, and slowly replace the aging, dead and no longer replicable cells in the host in the years to come, so that the host will always remain healthy and young.
Just like all-inclusive, selfless love!
In this symbiotic relationship, the host will completely get rid of the shackles of age, and will not become physically dull due to aging, but will become stronger due to annual growth.
Because the longer you live, the more cells will be replaced, and because the “symbiotic slime mold” does not have independent consciousness, even if the cells in the body are completely replaced, the host’s independent consciousness can still be maintained.
As for the cost that the young man is worried about.
In the eyes of the white dove, it can’t be called a cost at all.
Any known form of life cannot escape metabolism, whether it is an organism or an inorganic body, it will eventually need to regularly replace the worn parts of the body.
Even if there is no influence of any external factors, the cells in the human body will be completely replaced every six years. This is just normal metabolism and does not affect the person.
The slime mold that coexists with him cannot escape metabolism either.
The only difference is that slime mold can reproduce indefinitely, while his body cells are limited by telomeres and will gradually become unable to cope with the long river of time.
But the slime mold that coexists with him will never dislike his aging, and eternal “love” will always surround him.
Even if all the cells in his body have rotted, he can still stand here like a healthy young man, not only can he maintain a flexible mind, but he can even reproduce with his own DNA.
This is simply a miracle in biology!
As for whether he is a white dove now, or a slime mold fruiting body called a white dove, it doesn’t matter to him at all, and he is still the one who controls this body.
Thoughts are the foundation of human existence!
The body is just a shell that holds thoughts!
What’s more, this slow and gentle change that only replaces a few cells each time is at least more reliable than “brutally destroying the body and uploading the mind to the circuit board.”
If it was in the prosperous era.
His research would definitely become one of the greatest discoveries of that era!
”Eh?”
Standing in the laboratory, Xiaohong tilted her head.
The round and smooth tentacles were like the mouth of a dolphin, slowly floating on the back of her head, floating like seaweed. The blurred outlines of her facial features were full of confusion, just like the white dove standing by the bed.
”You don’t understand either?”
The white dove sighed and scratched the back of its rotten head.
Xiaohong nodded.
But at this moment, it suddenly looked up at the door of the laboratory, and the tentacles floating on the back of its head tightened slightly, and a crisp sound floated out.
”Eh.”
”You said someone is coming?”
The white dove muttered, looking at Xiaohong who nodded, and then glanced at the young man lying motionless on the bed.
Recently, someone has been tinkering with something in the Lost Valley, maybe it’s an explorer from the academy, or maybe it’s someone else who comes to hunt for treasure. To be honest, he doesn’t want to pay attention to it, and he doesn’t care much.
But thinking of the nuclear bomb that exploded before, he still sighed and pried his stiff neck with his hands.
”You wait here for a while… I’ll go outside and take a look.”
(End of this chapter)
