Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 67: Arms Dealer "Billy Gates"

There is no need to explain what the gunshots mean, but Cheng Tian and his team still chose to quietly clean up the wave of zombies in front of them before going to check.

They are just members of a government army team in theory, but their real mission is completely different, so they don't need to really work for the government army.

Normally, players need to complete the main quest while keeping their own lives. After all, if you lose your life, you really lose everything. No one is noble enough to sacrifice their own lives to complete the quest, let alone help others achieve success.

Moreover, the copy entries have revealed that the regular army is not absolutely righteous, and the rebel army is not absolutely evil. It even gives a hint of the opportunity to switch camps, which clearly gives players more choices.

Furthermore, the Chosen Space has significantly restricted player resurrection, with most resurrection items restricted. Otherwise, the "Life Bonus Mushroom," which is generally easy to obtain in Mario dungeons, would be a common sight.

Incidentally, this first wave of zombies dropped two treasure chests. Uncle Xue's snowball even triggered a special kill effect, directly exploding two candies and a plate of sushi. These were both recovery items that could restore a small amount of health, and they were small enough to be easily carried without having to stuff them in the inventory.

However, when Uncle Xue generously wanted to share with his teammates, everyone, including Cheng who was driving, chose to turn their heads away.

Although the item description clearly states that this thing is fine, seeing with my own eyes a fat zombie covered in black and purple rigid fat, with a vertically open belly full of tangled intestines and a paste of internal organs, directly collapsed into a seemingly delicious seaweed rice roll, I can only say that it is indeed a bit difficult to swallow.

The treasure chest contained some valuable jewelry that could be exchanged for some Chosen Coins, which was better than nothing.

The players had divided the loot, but the sound in the distance still continued. What was worth noting was that the sound had changed from the initial gunshots to some smaller-scale electrical discharges.

"It seems to be... black, clouds?"

Sitting back on the main gun position of the Batmobile, Smarthead squinted his eyes and looked into the distance and said uncertainly.

You know what, it really was a black cloud, but it was too small and floating too low. Moreover, lightning would explode from time to time inside the black cloud, and it would send out an equally small lightning strike towards the ground.

"Reinforcements!? Hello! Hello!!! We are here! Help is needed! Urgent rescue!!!"

After pressing the snow and moving forward for a distance along the channel formed after the main body of the plane was completely cracked, a cry for help full of surprise came from the direction of the black thundercloud.

Right at the cracked nose of the plane, five or six people were using the relatively intact cockpit as a rear shelter, trying hard to resist the swarm of zombies.

Judging from their attire, it can be seen that they should be survivors of the plane crash, and the strongest among them are two men in suits and ties, with mustaches, sunglasses and big bald heads, who look more like bodyguards than soldiers.

The bald man on the left is holding a standard government military "Heavy Machine Gun", which is the kind of machine gun marked with a big "H" logo that players in the game are very familiar with. Each bullet is almost the size of a qilin melon. Just a slight adjustment of the muzzle can make the bullet explode among the zombies.

Thanks to its existence, the zombie swarm failed to successfully form an encirclement.

The bald man on the right was holding a control device similar to a small arcade joystick in his hand, and as he controlled it, the black thundercloud floating above the zombie group was actually being controlled like a drone. The thunder that Cheng Tian and the others had heard before was released by this thing.

While the bald man on the left was suppressing the zombie horde, the one on the right was controlling the thunderclouds to quickly fly over the fat zombie. A single lightning strike was enough to char the fat zombie's body black, its mutated chest charred and glued together, making it difficult to open easily for a short time. The other few, who were obviously civilians, suppressed their fear and fired bursts of firearms with a strong hope of survival. They looked like they had some basic knowledge of firearms.

The person who just shouted for help was sandwiched between two bald men, one on the left and one on the right. They were obviously elite white men. At this moment, he was wrapped in a coat and looked a little embarrassed.

However, after noticing that Cheng Tian and the others were attracted over, he almost habitually adjusted his collar and scratched his hair to make himself look a little better. However, his waist, which had just been straightened, shrank again because of the roar of a female zombie that was a little closer.

It was also at this time that the four players present all received prompts from the space.

[You discovered that President Billy Gates survived the plane crash and the zombies.]

[Side quest triggered—the arms dealer who survived a disaster.]

Team mission: Ensure the survival of the CEO "Billy Gates" during this mission investigation.

The basic reward is 10000 Tianxuan coins. 】

Uncle Xue made darts, Xiao P picked up a hammer, Smarthead took out the Repulse Grenade Launcher, and Cheng Tian stepped on the accelerator. The four of them made the choice to rescue without hesitation.

Although not all players are willing to do something for the sake of profit, when side quests clearly throw small amounts of money in front of players, everyone is happy to complete the side quests without affecting the main quests.

How can this be just an ordinary survivor? This is a surviving 10,000 yuan!
Cheng Tian, ​​who is more familiar with the original plot, also recognized it. The white man who looks very similar to Gates is a special hostage who can be rescued in the original version, and the thundercloud that is chopping the zombies is a special attack prop that players can pick up and take effect immediately. Unexpectedly, he himself was designed as a side quest target in the copy.

The identity of the CEO of a military industrial group is also quite consistent with the identity of being able to produce a remote-controlled thundercloud.

Unlike the Novice Trial, the rewards obtained from this long-term mainline dungeon are far beyond what an ordinary bounty mission can achieve. Moreover, due to the continuity of interpersonal relationships in the dungeon archive, saving a military CEO will obviously have a greater impact on subsequent Metal Slug dungeons than saving an ordinary person.

However, at this moment, President Billy, who was a little hunched over due to the fear of the zombies, was suddenly stunned. Then he stood up suddenly, and his eyes shining through his gold-rimmed glasses looked at the Batmobile which had successfully unloaded the cargo and suddenly accelerated without the heavy burden of Smart Head.

Taking advantage of the half-exposed wreckage of the plane, the Batmobile leaped high into the air, then slammed hard into the circle of zombies that were besieging the survivors, and began its rampage.

The CEO didn't even dare blink, afraid to miss any details of the Batmobile.

But when he saw the Batmobile's suspension deforming as it jumped, and the fact that the car almost absorbed all the bumps when it landed, there was only shock in his eyes, and he was still muttering to himself.

"A structure completely different from the SV001... jumping, shock absorption, and terrain adaptability are all excellent... Could it be a new vehicle that the government forces haven't yet deployed in combat?"
