This Game Is Too Realistic

Although he did not wait for reinforcements from the college until the end, Zhao Xiao unexpectedly received a piece of news from Lao Bai that he could not believe -

He can go home.

A dark and windy night.

There was no one in the empty camp, and there was silence.

The soldiers of the Burning Legion arranged this place fifteen minutes ago, but did not station themselves in the camp. They left a truck and some supplies before leaving.

Zhao Xiao, standing in the center of the camp, was in a somewhat complicated mood.

Unexpectedly, that old white man was not joking and actually let me go.

Not only him, but also Chen Yutong, and Wu Liangping, who was seriously injured and lying unconscious in the dormant cabin... All the captured personnel are here.

As for Xuan Feng.

The alliance insists that androids without "intellectual plug-ins" installed should be considered equipment, and this is the academy's own view, so its body and AI core are not included in the exchange of prisoners.

Although the words are a bit strong, the academy does not admit that bionic people are human beings, and Zhao Xiao can't think of how to refute it.

Not just Xuan Feng.

His own sniper rifle and accessories were also seized by the guy named Ye Shi... but he never expected those people to return the weapon and freedom to him.

Although he regained his freedom, there was one thing that Zhao Xiao couldn't figure out.

That's why the Alliance and the Corporation let their captives go.

What made him even more confused was why he was not happy at all when he was about to go home.

Maybe it's because of that bet.

The guy named Lao Bai didn't mention the glass of beer. In the end, he just smiled and patted his shoulder to express congratulations.

But he knew clearly in his heart that he lost after all...

At this time, Chen Yutong, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke.

"I changed my mind."

Zhao Xiao was stunned for a moment and turned to look at her.

"Change...your mind?"

Chen Yutong nodded.

"Well, I plan to stay."

The confusion in his eyes gradually turned into surprise. Zhao Xiao stared at her in disbelief, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a word from his throat.

"reason?"

Betrayal is a serious crime.

Students who defect will be subject to endless bounties and hunts by the academy. The higher the level, the higher the bounty amount.

Not only that, any student is obliged to record the words and deeds of a traitor when he discovers it, and report it to the Department of Internal Affairs for processing by the purge planning team.

Otherwise, you will be sentenced to connivance...

Zhao Xiao subconsciously put his hand on his waist, but soon found that there was nothing there and put his hand down again.

"I don't know."

Not paying attention to his teammates' actions, Chen Yutong shook his head gently as if he didn't see it.

She turned around and looked at the night sky with twinkling stars in the south, and said to herself in a soft voice, "Maybe... I just want to take a look."

Although she knew that the Alliance was not the kind of "heaven" she imagined, she still wanted to see what kind of place it was, so that those who were loyal to him could stand up and say those words confidently——

You can confirm it with your eyes.

At this moment, she was even more curious about the place than the ruins.

Of course, the delicious rice is also a reason.

Chen Yutong, who finally made a decision, suddenly felt as if he had let go of all his burdens, and his whole body suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Rank, status...

Those things no longer matter.

She had already died once for the academy.

In the rest of her life, she plans to pursue her true heart and live for the things she is interested in.

She looked at Zhao Xiao.

"Just tell the captain that I died in the previous battle. Say thank you to him for taking care of me..."

When she said this, she paused, suddenly laughed at herself and shook her head.

"Wait, forget it, let's avoid saying this. It's too strange for dead people to talk."

Anyway, the captain probably didn't know about her being captured. It would be good to just assume that she, like her teammates, had died in the previous operation.

As long as she doesn't let the college feel disgraced, the college doesn't have to worry about her as a small E-class. Those prospectors who disappeared in the operation may not be really dead. Maybe they are just like the D in Lao Bai's mouth. A senior prospector can live a good life there.

As for thank you.

Let’s talk face to face when we have the opportunity in the future.

Zhao Xiao swallowed.

His duty told him that he should stop the defecting guy in front of him, but he found that what he said was something else.

"……Take care of yourself."

After all, he was a teammate who had worked together for many years, but he still couldn't enforce that discipline.

He only hoped that she would not regret her choice.

Just pretend she's dead.

Chen Yutong nodded, turned his back to him, and walked towards Fang Yanji outside the camp without any precautions.

Almost less than ten minutes after she left, the creaking sound of tracks running over stones came along the ground.

Zhao Xiao raised his head and looked at Fang Yan to the north of the camp, and saw the familiar heavy tracked vehicle slowly driving into the quiet and empty camp.

Sitting in the driver's seat is Zheng Hao, the captain of the beacon team.

Zhao Xiao's eyes were filled with surprise. He didn't expect that he would come to pick him up in person.

"Captain!"

Looking at Zheng Hao who jumped off the crawler truck, Zhao Xiao trotted past him and gave him an excited hug.

After patting the young man's shoulder, Zheng Hao let go of his hand. Looking at the young face in front of him, a trace of relaxation suddenly appeared in his tense expression.

On the way here, he was hesitating whether his decision was right, but at this moment all his hesitations were in vain.

He was extremely grateful for his choice at this moment.

Perhaps from the academy's point of view, it would be the most "economical" thing to cancel these E-class names from the list. What he and other team members should do is to compare the names of these people with information about them. The memory is deleted from the memory.

But he is not an academy after all.

Neither the conclusion doctor nor the chief technology officer are too far away from him.

He is just a selfish person, an insignificant D-class, a little person who is manipulated at will by his superiors...

No matter what their motives were, those people died under his orders.

Even if he could save one, it would alleviate the guilt in his heart.

"Those people didn't do anything to you, right?"

Zhao Xiao shook his head excitedly.

"No! They were quite friendly to me... they didn't even beat me."

"Good fight."

With a rare smile on his expressionless face, Zheng Hao patted his shoulder and let go of the young man.

"They kept their promise, and I will remember this favor... By the way, did that guy named Lao Bai give you anything?"

"Yes! I'm bringing it with me!"

Zhao Xiao nodded immediately, took out a test tube from his pocket and handed it to him.

Lao Bai had told him before to give it to their captain with his own hands.

After taking the test tube, Zheng Hao's eyes flashed with joy. However, when his eyes fell on the sleeping cabin next to him, that joy was almost diluted by complicated emotions.

"Is there anyone else?"

Zhao Xiao was silent for a while and shook his head.

"No more."

Zheng Hao said nothing more.

"...Put Lao Wu on the truck. This is not a place to stay for a long time. It's time for us to get out."

Zhao Xiao nodded, without asking any further questions, and cooperated with the captain to carry the sleeping cabin containing Lao Wu into the back compartment of the truck.

The two then came to the front of the truck, opened the door and got into the main and passenger seats.

There is a note stuck on the square plate.

Several crooked simple drawings roughly describe how to start the truck, how to turn on the lights, how to drive, etc.

Zheng Hao glanced at it, then tore off the note and threw it aside. He turned off the key and started the car, driving towards the outside of the camp.

Looking at the camp that was getting further away in the rearview mirror, Zhao Xiao suddenly spoke.

"By the way...there's one more thing."

Zheng Hao, who was driving, said casually.

"What's the matter?"

"Chen Yutong...she was seriously injured before. She felt that she would not survive, so she gave the dormant cabin to Lao Wu who could still save her."

This is the story he just made up.

Without revealing that she was still alive, she could barely justify herself.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Xiao continued to talk.

"She asked me to say thank you...thank you for taking care of me all the time."

Zheng Hao nodded.

His expression seemed to have guessed something, and he didn't seem to think too much about it.

"Well, I understand."

Zhao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It's hard to hold some words in your heart.

It feels better to say it.

…

The truck drove about five or six kilometers and stopped beside a mountain road.

Several members of the Beacon Team gathered around with rifles in hand. Seeing the captain and the sniper sitting in the driver's seat, they all breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the muzzle of their rifles.

"It's easy to succeed."

After jumping out of the car, Zheng Hao glanced behind him, but there were no car lights following him.

It seemed that those people had indeed spared themselves.

Perhaps just like what Lao Bai said, they are looking forward to the next cooperation with him... although he doesn't want to meet those monsters again at all.

Vice-captain Song Changfeng came forward to ask Yu.

"What should we do now? Without communication equipment, we can't report our situation to the academy..."

"That's just right. I told you back then that we encountered an active attack from the alliance and corporate reinforcements, and the follow-up operation failed."

After a pause, Zheng Hao continued to talk.

"But there is always a road ahead. At the cost of a vehicle, we not only successfully rescued the captured team members, but also successfully obtained tissue samples from the body."

Although they lost a tracked vehicle, it was not originally theirs. It would be good to use the academy's equipment to replace their captured teammates.

They had communicated this before, and everyone expressed their approval. For this reason, the team's engineers also helped format the AI ​​core format of the two android team members.

A team member climbed into the back of the truck and suddenly found that in addition to a sleeping cabin, there were two boxes inside, so he shouted to ask.

"What are those two boxes on the truck?"

Zhao Xiao heard the answer.

"Oh, um, they gave us supplies. They said they couldn't finish them anyway, so they left them for us to eat on the way..."

The medic curled his lips.

"Who would eat from the enemy?"

He has already unloaded the supplies on the crawler, including enough freeze-dried food, energy tanks and fresh water for the team to consume for thirty days.

Zhao Xiao scratched the back of his head.

"That's what I say, but those things taste pretty good..."

Several team members looked at each other with strange expressions.

This guy must have been imprisoned stupidly.

Song Changfeng looked at Zheng Hao, and his expression clearly wanted to ask for his opinion.

Zheng Hao didn't say anything, just nodded casually.

"Keep it."

He had already heard Zhao Xiao talk about the two boxes in the car. Although he was confused as to why the other party would do such unnecessary things, he never thought about what poison those people would do.

With their abilities, there is absolutely no need for this.

Such trivial matters were so trivial that he didn't even bother to worry about them.

He is now thinking about which professor should be contacted after returning to the college.

You only get one chance.

He had to think of a way to maximize the value of the test tube in his hand...

At this time, it is to the north of Oasis No. 8.

After traveling long distances for nearly a week, Lao Bai and his men finally reunited with the large force that came to support them.

Seeing Sun Ze coming towards him, several corporate pilots smiled and walked up to him and patted his shoulders and arms.

"Haha, brother, I heard later that you had a bad fall."

Sun Ze sighed.

"That's not the case. Who knows, those crows in the swamp took the wrong medicine, and when they met, they killed me with a missile! You don't know how exciting it was at that time. I was so close to being finished. ! Thanks to my awesome driving skills, I was rescued!"

"What about the plane?" Another pilot Tuo Qi asked Yu.

Sun Ze waved his hand casually.

"It's scrapped! I've marked the wreckage on the map. Let's wait for the aviation department to send people to deal with it... No matter what, I'm worth it anyway! Hahaha!"

As he spoke, Sun Ze vividly described what happened to him and the Burning Legion after they landed.

In particular, the focus was on how he relied on his wit, bravery and determination to lead a group of soldiers to chase and break out of the siege, completely forgetting that he was so scared that he almost peed.

Several young players stood aside and stared dumbfounded, staring at the subtitles on the VM and whispering in Mandarin.

"Damn it, this is too cool, isn't it?!"

"+1, this face is probably thicker than the walls of Boulder City..."

The two rescued corporate pilots will take a direct flight back to Ideal City and be interviewed by a large number of media to clarify some misunderstandings.

But before going back, the pilot commander seemed to have something to say to the two lucky rescuers, so he pulled Sun Ze aside who was bragging.

As for Luo Yu and Xiao Yu, they will take the samples recovered from the Eagle fighter jets and return to Dawn City on the corporate plane.

Enterprises are not particularly interested in Xiaoyu.

Or to put it more accurately, the Supreme Council of those interested in it does not have enough voice and influence.

In contrast, the android named "Xuan Feng" may arouse the interest of Kangmao Group, but that is a matter for the management to worry about.

Lao Bai confirmed the update task on the VM.

After reuniting with the Burning Corps' large force, they will return to the frontline airport with the "captured" reindeer heavy-tracked vehicle from the academy to await further instructions.

I heard that the battle on the front line was progressing extremely smoothly. Under the joint attack of the Skeleton Corps, the Storm Corps, and the Lion Kingdom Army, two more of the nine thousand troops that retreated were defeated.

If this trend continues, I'm afraid less than half of the 10,000-man team that can be evacuated to Oasis No. 2 will be able to evacuate. Victory is almost in the hands of the Alliance.

It is estimated that before the end of the year, the alliance will be able to meet the old friends on the Kaikai Pi.

At this time, Kuang Feng, who was operating the drone, suddenly raised his head and saw Lao Bai, who was contemplating the army's route later.

"Someone is coming from the north."

There was a hint of surprise on Lao Bai's face.

North?

Have those nerds not given up yet?

"A few."

Guangfeng touched the bridge of his nose and said.

"I just saw one."

"Go meet him!"

Ye Shi jumped out of the truck excitedly, and was about to try out the newly seized weapon accessories, but was stopped by Lao Bai with his hand.

"They may not be here to cause trouble for us. I'm going to check on him."

With that said, Lao Bai walked out of the camp alone.

After about ten minutes, a group of figures quickly appeared on the sand dunes in the distance.

She came alone, unarmed.

Seeing Chen Yutong walking in front of him, Lao Bai asked you with a smile.

"Did something fall here?"

Chen Yutong shook his head, but after a while, he nodded slightly.

"I want to follow you... to the place you mentioned where the wastelanders huddle together to keep warm."

Lao Bai looked at the girl in front of him in surprise.

Seeing that the expression didn't look like he was joking, he didn't ask any more questions and smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"It seems that you have been thinking about it for a long time. Since you have decided to give up, I will not advise you anymore... You are welcome to join us."

"Thank you. If you didn't take me in, I might be homeless."

Stretching out his hand to shake his hand, Chen Yutong joked with a slightly relaxed expression, "After making this decision, the people in our college should have gone from missing to dead."

Lao Bai also made a joke.

"Congratulations on starting your new life. Do you want a new name?"

Chen Yutong said simply.

"No need, I don't intend to forget the past, and there are so many people with the same name, I guess no one will care about the life or death of an E-class prospector."

She is just a little person, not worthy of the attention of those who are above the A or B level.

After pausing for a moment, she looked around and continued.

"Didn't you get a tracked vehicle from Zheng Hao? Why didn't I see it?"

Lao Bai said uninterestedly.

"On the way back... I have just taken over and are studying the instructions left by your captain. We will be able to drive back in a few minutes."

Compared with the Alliance truck, that thing is much more troublesome to drive. The 12-inch center console has more than fifty buttons crammed into it.

That thing is no better than the ornithopter that the company sold them.

Chen Yutong smiled.

"Well, Zheng Min, when you guys come back, I can teach you how to drive that thing."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lao Bai's eyes, and he said with a hearty smile.

"That's too silly, you've been a big help to us!"

Her bangs naturally hung down to block her sight. She shook them gently and said casually.

"You're welcome, this little thing is nothing. When you get back, treat me to a drink of that potato-made wine...what's it called?"

"You mean vodka?"

Lao Bai looked at this brave girl in surprise, smiled and joked, "I heard that people in the academy don't drink alcohol, ethanol is only used as reagents and fuel... Are you sure you can drink it?"

The corners of Chen Yutong's mouth curled up.

"I am no longer a member of the academy. And if you can drink it, how will you know if you don't try it?"

Maybe it was because her identity was lost, or maybe it was because she was overthinking it, but Lao Bai always felt that she seemed different from yesterday.

However, this is not a bad thing.

Trying more new things that you have never tried before will still be of great help in integrating into your new life.

"Hey, I won't stop you... but I recommend you a way to drink it that is suitable for a novice. You can add some Coke or Sprite into it."

Chen Yutong asked Yu Qi.

"What is that? Do you want to drink?"

"A kind of drink... those pro-life gamers - I mean shelter residents who love live-action came up with this thing. To put it simply, it's sugar water with a little carbonic acid added."

"Carbonic acid? Does that stuff smell?" Chen Yutong frowned slightly.

Of course, the college also provides sugar, caffeine and vitamin supplement drinks.

But they will never add carbonic acid to drinking water, but put it in a labeled sample cabinet just like ethanol.

Those things can neither supplement nutrition nor promote dopamine secretion. Instead, they will cause mineral loss in the body, just like alcohol can damage the brain.

Even if the harmful dose is controllable, there is no need to increase avoidable risks for meaningless things.

"No, it doesn't have any taste, but the feeling of the bubbles exploding between the lips and teeth can bring a little different excitement to the ordinary sugar water. You will know after you try it..."

Lao Bai's answer was in line with her expectations.

What surprised her was that he had other ideas about "meaning".

She said she was more interested in regaining her new love than the delicious food.

"I see, can you... tell me about Sprite again? I'm a bit curious."

Looking at the face written all over, Lao Bai was a little confused when he explained.

"Hey, this question is too technical. Generally speaking, it is the same as Coke, but we use citric acid instead of caffeine..."

"Citric acid instead of caffeine?! That's it... really exciting."

I don't know when they started, but the two of them started walking back.

Chen Yutong naturally followed him and asked many questions that he had been interested in before but had no time to ask.

The two of them were like old friends who had known each other for a long time. There was no barrier at all and they had been gone for a long time without knowing it...

On the sand dune not far away, Ye Shi, who was holding a sniper rifle, put the gun away with a curse, patted the dust on his pants and stood up.

"Mom! I won't watch anymore. I'm worried that something will happen to him, so I stuffed my mouth full of dog food."

Guangfeng, holding the telescope, glanced at him sideways.

"Which of your eyes can tell it's dog food? Can't it be pure friendship?"

Ye Shi complained about Yu.

"Come on, have you forgotten that piece of shit Fang Chang? At the beginning, he talked about the mission, but then he started calling me "wife, wife"... vomit, vomit, vomit."

No more.

He can't stand dog food, except for himself.

Storm coughed.

"Fang Chang is Fang Chang, Lao Bai is Lao Bai...it's different."

Ye Shi rolled his eyes.

"gone back."
