Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 267 It's All A Joke
【game over】

Chang Rui didn't say anything, and chose to go offline voluntarily.

Identity exposed, nothing left.

The game hive was empty, he took off the auxiliary equipment, his eyes were deserted, his whole body seemed to be hollowed out, he was in a trance for a moment, and walked out of the room blankly.

It was just a game, but it made him extremely uncomfortable, as if he had lost a part of his life.

Outside the room, there are people coming and going in the long corridor, talking and laughing, all of them are players rushing to experience the game world.

"Ding……"

Chang Rui was silent, not knowing what to do, walked to the elevator, and took the elevator down slowly.

The first floor of the honeycomb building is a spacious and bright hall.

The hall is noisy and bustling, mostly young people, the tall crystal lamps are bright, and there are more than a dozen giant screens of different sizes hanging around, and the classic scenes in the game are played on the giant screens.

In the center of the hall, there is a pure white relief cylinder. The advanced 3D holographic imaging technology is used around the cylinder. Rays of light are intertwined, and a young and handsome figure is projected on the cylinder. It is the commander Beifeng who is driving the mech official.

Chang Rui's eyes were dull, and when he saw the projection, he seemed to be back in the game in a daze.

"legend……"

He unconsciously pronounced these two words, which were the introduction of the commander in the game promotional video.

Just a moment ago, he was still in the game, and the commander was right in front of him, but now there are two worlds far away, the virtual and the real are intertwined, which makes people feel sad.

At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Chang Rui took out his phone and saw the familiar Li Yun's name on the screen.

Come to think of it, those two people are already insane.

But what can he do?

He even felt a little regretful, all kinds of complicated emotions surged up, and finally he only sighed, and pressed the red reject button.

……

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Li Yun was really dumbfounded. He held his phone tightly and called Chang Rui repeatedly, feeling as anxious as if there was a fire burning in his heart.

The same is true for the player who controlled the dog. He contacted Chang Rui through various online methods. Whether it was a private message in the game or a message on the forum account, he tried everything, but Chang Rui never replied.

They saw that Chang Rui's profile picture had already dimmed.

"What the hell is this guy doing?"

"Hurry up and bring that old fellow Shi Sishi back!"

"If it's really impossible, let me get rid of the suspicion first!" Li Yun was so anxious that he almost crushed his phone, "That idiot, Sijidao, came to ask me again just now, how should I reply him? Everyone in the joint camp has withdrawn. !"

At this time, Siji Dao was sitting triumphantly on an off-road vehicle, galloping across the wilderness with the army of the mechanical clan.

He also participated in the operation to encircle and suppress the joint camp, and received a personal mission issued by the system.

The prizes for the mission are quite generous, which makes people jealous. If you send out the screenshots of the prizes, it is estimated that other players will be envious and jealous and want to go to the official website to report.

After learning the lessons from the previous few times, he didn't post a post about this mission in the forum, and planned to post after he succeeded.

"It's definitely done this time."

Sijidao thought so, and asked Li Yun, an undercover agent in the joint camp, by the way.

The message Li Yun replied to him was always—everything is normal.

……

At the same time, the central area of ​​the forest, the small swamp island.

After Chang Rui disappeared, everyone was dumbfounded and completely convinced.

A gust of wind blew, and the dead leaves were flying around. It was completely invisible that there was a person there.

"He really..."

Many of Shi Sishi's disciples looked gloomy. Although they didn't want to believe it in their hearts, the facts were already in front of them.

From the meeting at the oasis camp to the present jungle center full of alien plants, Commander Beifeng was right from beginning to end, but they were on the opposite side.

Thinking of the details of living and studying with Chang Rui during this period, these disciples were silent.

After a while, they turned to Su Xia and performed the etiquette of Dragon City Academy to express their apologies.

This is a disciple's salute, which is usually only done to one's own teacher.

In the back, Ms. Liu Ye sighed: "I really didn't expect that, even I didn't see any flaws in that young man Chang Rui. It was our fault..."

As she spoke, her expression suddenly changed, and her heart sank.

Back then, in the oasis camp, it wasn't just Chang Rui who was pointed out by Su Xia, but also two other guys—the big golden retriever she raised among them!

She hurriedly asked: "Commander..."

"Yes."

Su Xia nodded, looked at her, and knew what she wanted to say.

When we met just now, everyone was talking and laughing, and Su Xia didn't spoil the atmosphere, so he made them happy for a while.

After all, he came with bad news.

"The machine clan has sent troops."

Su Xia looked around and said the news calmly.

"what?"

This news was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.

There was a momentary silence around, no matter what the focus of attention and discussion was just now, they were all left behind at this moment, and only Su Xia's words were left in everyone's minds.

They seemed to have forgotten to breathe, their chests were tight, and they were overwhelmed by the panic and anxiety deep in their hearts.

Everyone is not afraid of fighting, but they didn't expect that the fighting would come so quickly.

No one was ready for the news.

Once the mechanical army is dispatched, it is almost certain to win. No matter whether the human race or the Zerg race can stop it, there will only be blood and gunpowder smoke left in its path.

"Commander, is the news true?"

"The target is the joint camp... or Dragon City?"

"It shouldn't be, the timing is wrong..."

"..."

They asked anxiously.

Except for Su Xia, no one else knew the news.

Long before the machine race sent troops, everyone had already entered this jungle, isolated from the outside world, and only now converged, with no communication channels with the outside world.

Of course, Chang Rui also knew about the news, after all, he was in charge, but he was already offline.

"The news is true, it's a joint camp." Su Xia said calmly, "The troops were dispatched around nine o'clock last night. If there is no accident, they will arrive at the outskirts of the camp tonight and launch an attack at midnight."

"How did the machine race know the location of the joint camp? Could it be...Chang Rui..."

In an instant, everyone understood. Thinking of the short conversation between Su Xia and Chang Rui just now, even the most stupid people can connect through the front and back.

Shi Sishi was the first to understand. His lips trembled, and his face instantly turned pale.

His undead disciple actually betrayed the location of the human camp!

"Do not……"

Once the joint camp is breached, the combat and logistics members of the more than 20 resistance organizations, as well as a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled living in the camp, will all be reduced to ashes under the gunfire of the machine clan, just like the original North Wind Organization.

Northwind is just one organization, while the joint camp is more than 20.

Such a heavy loss is deplorable just thinking about it.

At that time, Shi Sishi may really be included in the history books—but only in the form of negative teaching materials.

When future generations read this story in the book and see his name, how will they feel?
It was at this thought that Shi Sishi's face turned pale, and his heart was half cold.

What he wants is to be famous in history, not to be infamous forever!
How can this be good?

"Northern Wind..."

At this moment, he looked at Su Xia, the opponent he hated in the past, who had become his only hope.

Shi Sishi also understood that since Su Xia got the news and acted so calmly, there must be a way to deal with it.

After all, he is the commander of the North Wind.

"Commander, does the camp know the news?" Lu Long asked anxiously. He wished he could grow his wings now and fly to the joint camp to inform his relatives and friends there.

"commander……"

The rest of the people also looked at Su Xia expectantly. Although there was already a lot of uneasiness in their hearts, it was the legendary commander who brought them the news after all.

He is someone who can defeat An Lan. With him around, he will be fine.

"Don't worry, the camp should be almost evacuated." Su Xia's tone was calm, gently suppressing everyone's anxiety, and his calm expression also gave the rest of them a little hope.

"Last night, after the machine race sent troops, I had someone notify them."

"Commander, my dog..."

Ms. Liu Ye opened her mouth, showing hesitation, but she still couldn't help asking.

Su Xia nodded and said, "It's already locked up and locked up with Li Yun."

"Is it really not what it is?"

"Well, for the specific situation, you can ask Lu Ba after you go back."

"Where will my brother and the others withdraw? Is there still time?" Lu Long also continued to ask. With a high-level traitor like Li Yun, the previously planned escape route will no longer be used, and a new escape route must be planned in a very short time. the way.

One wrong step, one wrong step, and now the entire camp is in danger of being destroyed.

"Don't worry, there is Zero Tavern to assist." Su Xia replied.

"Won't the Zero Tavern not interfere in this kind of thing?" Lu Long was stunned, "They always say that they are a permanent neutral organization."

"Flexible and neutral."

"This……"

In fact, Su Xia didn't expect that the branch of Zero Tavern would assist in the evacuation so simply.

He originally planned to make Yiyi more involved.

With the help of this behemoth, not to mention a camp, even the entire Dragon City can be broken into pieces and scattered into the entire southwest mountainous area in a very short period of time.

Zero Point Tavern has branches all over the world, even in remote mountains and old forests where few people visit, there is no need to worry at all.

"The machine clan is making a lot of dangerous attempts, and the recent contact with the Zero Tavern has become more and more domineering, which may have aroused dissatisfaction from the top management of the tavern." Su Xia was thoughtful.

"Commander, what should we do next?"

Everyone in the joint camp looked at Su Xia, dazed with fear, unknowingly regarded him as the backbone.

The people in the camp were all evacuated, and they couldn't go back.

"When the matter here is over, come back to the oasis camp with me, and I will tell you all the news as soon as possible." Su Xia looked at them and said.

"it is good."

Next, we can only take one step at a time.

In comparison, the people from Dragon City should be calmer, after all, their base camp is relatively stable, and they are also safe.

The old dean, Wang Luo and others were secretly startled, even they had cut off contact with the outside world, but Su Xia was still able to receive news, even knowing that the machine clan sent troops.

You know, this kind of news has always been very secretive.

The machine clan likes to attack in the middle of the night, marching secretly, every time they move, even many mechanical creatures inside the machine clan don't know.

And Su Xia actually got the news as soon as the machine tribe dispatched troops last night, and told the joint camp almost simultaneously.

Thinking of this, they began to re-examine this young commander - powerful, sophisticated, and extremely well-connected, and they may even have placed their own undercover agents inside the machine clan.

Dragon City has worked hard for so many years, but failed to get its own undercover agent into the core layer of the machine clan.

This North Wind Commander, who was able to make Nuo Da's name in the wilderness, is really not a simple person, even in Dragon City, there are few people who can match him.

The old dean sent another invitation to Su Xia: "When the matter here is over, you must come to Longcheng to have a look. There are a lot of materials in the college, and you will definitely be interested."

"Okay, I'll definitely come when I'm free!" Su Xia temporarily agreed.

"Don't forget the research institute." Wang Luo said hastily, "There are some weird things, you will definitely like them."

"no problem!"

Going to Dragon City is something Su Xia has always wanted to do since she entered the game.

It's just that there are too many things to do now, even if the problem of the machine clan sending troops is resolved, he still has to deal with the problems of the pharmacy and Yimo.

Next, under the leadership of him and Hal, everyone went to another small island, which was located on the right side. The island was overgrown with bushes and withered black trunks, giving it a slightly gloomy feel.

The trees near here are called "Human Face Trees", which are described in detail in "Interstellar Encyclopedia".

The whole body of this kind of tree is withered and black, as if it has been burned by a big fire, with few leaves, and a vague human face pattern is usually naturally formed on the trunk, and the black branches are twisted and deformed, like skinny arms.

"It's here."

In the center of the island was an area Howl covered with litter and nets.

Below this area is a huge oblique downward entrance and exit. It is not an ordinary cabin door, but a passage for the spaceship cargo to enter and exit.

"Crash!"

Hal pulled hard and tore open the camouflaged large net. The dead branches and rotten leaves on the net were lifted all over the ground, exposing a corner of the entrance.

It is still a silver-gray passageway, full of metal feeling, it is dark when looking inside, and the deepest part cannot be seen.

Diagonally above the entrance, there is an oval socket.

Hal put his mechanical finger into it and turned it lightly.

"Om-"

Suddenly, one after another dark red rays of light lit up in the passageway.

This is an emergency light, and Hal himself doesn't need it. He has a complete imaging system, and he turns on the light only to take care of the ordinary people behind him.

Hal was the first to enter, and slid in with a light leap.

Su Xia jumped in after him. The silver-gray passage was smooth, as if she was on a slide, sliding all the way down, and it took a while to reach the huge cargo hold at the deepest point.

Here, there are still a large number of goods on the spaceship back then, mostly living supplies, and some special goods and currencies.

When exploring remote star fields, civilized planets are often found, and occasionally need to be traded.

The scientists of the empire discovered that the favorite trading items of these civilized planets were nothing more than special metals, gems, porcelain, etc. that looked bright and beautiful, so they would carry these as currency every time they set off.

"Snapped!"

Hal stepped aside, flipped the switch, and the entire cargo compartment brightened up.

Su Xia was startled, and her eyes were instantly attracted by a huge biological skeleton.

The skeleton of the creature was yellowish in color, more than 30 meters long, the bones were arranged one by one, and the body was curved, like a giant snake, but with limbs, like a legendary dragon.

"It was brought back from a planet of life. It is more like a dragon in some civilization myths. In fact, it is just a big snake with arms and legs." Hal introduced: "After the spaceship crashed, the box of this skeleton was also broken. Yeah, the bones are all over the floor... Over the years, I spliced ​​them together when I had nothing to do."

At this time, Sun Lang also slid to the bottom, and before he stood up, his eyes widened.

"Huo, is this a dragon?!"

"No, you can also think it is, anyway, there are similar creatures on many planets."

"Can you fly?"

"I can't." Ha'er said bluntly.

"It's really spectacular!" Wang Luo, who followed closely, exclaimed, this is a real alien creature skeleton, "I never thought that I would see this kind of creature in my lifetime."

"Go for a walk in the starry sky, there are so many of these things."

Hal's tracks were rolling, moving forward slowly, controlling the mechanical arm in the warehouse, and randomly opened several large cargo boxes.

The things in the cargo box are all unheard of by everyone.

Some strange gems, special crystals, and some weird biological bones, if they are auctioned outside, it is estimated that they will sell for unimaginably high prices.

"Indigenous people, never limit your eyes to your own planet." Hal patted the big box, "Just go to those prosperous civilization star fields and you will understand that you are now fighting for survival and resources. The so-called struggle is just a joke."

War is not the eternal theme, exploration and development are.
