This Game Is Too Realistic

On the outskirts of Yate City, a streamlined scientific research ship was parked on the roof of a logistics building.

The terrain here is high and the view is wide. You can directly see the "Tower of the World" several kilometers away. It is a good place to eat and watch the excitement.

As the leader of the melon-eating world, the academy's surveyors fell in love with this geomantic treasure land at a glance, and immediately occupied it after advancing from the battlefield to the core city area.

At this moment, next to the scientific research vessel, an explorer wearing an exoskeleton was standing behind a sampler with a tripod.

The multi-functional camera on the sampler is pointed at the "Tower of the World" from a distance, and is connected to the scientific research ship next to it through a data tube as thick as a python.

And just around the busy prospector, there was another prospector wearing an exoskeleton who was on guard with guns and live ammunition.

This is a war zone after all.

Even if the war is coming to an end, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will not jump out.

They must be careful of a potential threat.

Fortunately, there were no setbacks during their data collection period.

After the Southern Legion's Tyr played his last card, the Alliance was eliminated along with the "Abnormal Life Form" that suddenly appeared on the "Tower of the World".

As the announcement of the victory sounded, their data sampling also entered the final stage.

Seeing that the work was about to end, a prospector released his hand on the assault rifle, took out his binoculars and looked in the direction of the "Tower of the World".

Looking at the dark red remains that had lost all signs of life, he couldn't help but smacked his tongue and murmured in a low voice.

"It's really twisted..."

It seems that he is not the only one who thinks so.

The several prospectors standing nearby also had expressions of confusion on their faces, and they were whispering in the communication channel.

"Is that 'Gaia'?"

"Ah...probably so."

"Tsk tsk..."

"How did the Southern Army come up with this? When did they even come up with such amazing technology?"

"Ghosts know you...but I am more inclined to think that they have no idea what the technology you have at your disposal is."

"Like a death potion?"

"You mean that virus? Haha, if you expect something like that, they might as well widen the caliber of their artillery to 1,000 mm."

"It's not a child's play anymore. Those things are actually pretty good, including this 'Gaia'... We may have underestimated these lunatics."

The vast majority of living things in the natural world are creatures that operate within the laws of nature, but "Gaia" is different. The existence of the latter itself is the law of nature.

Different from the "gestalt life form" envisioned by the academic community in the Age of Prosperity, the existence of "Gaia" is considered by the academic community to be an "amorphous life form."

Or to be more precise, it is "the form of life completely determined by consciousness."

For example, the indescribable and extremely aggressive tentacle monster is based on similar technical principles, and the spiritual world of Tyr is embodied in the form of a carbon-based organism.

This may sound weird, but this is what happened on the planet Gaia.

That planet is "He", the embodiment of the spiritual world.

The Alliance Research Institute has made a series of conjectures about the origin of Gaia's civilization from a social science perspective, but basically they only remain at the level of conjecture.

The academy's research will focus more on the technical level, and will uniformly identify similar situations as "Gaia-like life forms."

The Brood-like thing that appeared on the "Tower of the World" building is actually a kind of "Gaia-like life form"...but this guy's power is too small, and it was destroyed without even swallowing a settlement. The alliance is dead.

But even though this thing was suppressed to death, it still attracted the attention of the college's senior officials.

After all, even in the academy, it is considered a very cutting-edge research field, and it doesn't matter if it appears in the wasteland...

Listening to the conversation of his teammates, Song Changfeng, who stood behind the tripod, did not say a word, but stared at the tablet meticulously, reporting the situation on the front line to his superiors waiting at the rear.

Currently operating here is the academy's "Beacon" team, and he is the captain of the Beacon team.

Unlike the "Alpha" Task Force, all members of the "Beacon" team are college prospectors or bionics, and are mainly engaged in investigation rather than offensive or defensive activities.

By the way, their previous captain was Zheng Hao, and he was just the vice-captain.

But that guy has been promoted and is currently assigned to the Containment Planning Team of the Investigation Division.

In the words of the explorers, it is "going ashore".

Generally speaking, compared with other life-threatening jobs, the "Beacon" team can be considered a promising job.

Not only do they have the opportunity to show their faces in front of senior researchers, but they can also accumulate scientific research qualifications during their missions, giving them access to high-level intelligence that they would never have access to in their lifetime.

The academy is different from other places. The more knowledge you have, the safer it will be.

Of course, the premise is that it is known through the rules and permission channels.

Every time he thinks that he is about to turn 30, Song Changfeng can't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart.

He was not interested in Gaia or Gaia stuff. He only knew that he had to change from an explorer to a researcher before the age of 30.

There has always been an unwritten rule in the academy - or rather a pattern.

That is, if a person is still a prospector after the age of 30, then his life will basically end there.

This is no exception in the past century and a half. Most researchers have demonstrated extraordinary talents at a very young age.

For example, Jiang Xuezhou, who was once in his team, was an E-level researcher when he was a teenager.

It's not that he was jealous of those talented people, nor did he think about how high he wanted to climb, he just wanted to "get ashore" like former captain Zheng Hao.

If you can become a researcher before the age of 30, you can still work hard.

Even if you are only an E-level researcher, your status is much higher than that of a prospector...

"The suspected Gaia life form has been eliminated by alliance forces..."

"Yes, some life activities outside the building have basically stopped... It is currently unclear what method they used, but the vital signs and multiple readings of the observation object have been covered by new parameters..."

"嗽㱕... Let's clean up here and come back immediately."

After hanging up the communication, Song Changfeng took a deep breath and waved to his teammates around him.

"The data collection is completed and it's time to call it a day."

Although they couldn't guess what their superiors were thinking, judging from the tone of the voice on the communication channel, their superiors were quite satisfied with their work.

Maybe...

Is there hope for promotion?

"Take it!"

After hearing the boss' call to call it a day, the young men finally let go of their worries, responded and walked towards the research ship to open the hatch.

Compared with the previous missions, this mission was so easy that it was like a blessing.

I watched a war movie on my boss's research ship, took a few photos and diagrams, and then went home. This kind of thing probably doesn't happen once a year.

And just when everyone was thinking this, the air, as silent as water, suddenly had a ripple.

"Buzz——"

The speed was so fast that no one could react in time. A prospector wearing an exoskeleton flew out as if he had been hit by a train.

The bulletproof lining turned into fragments all over the sky, and fell downstairs together with the rag-like body.

Seeing the electromagnetic signal ripples jumping on the radar, Song Changfeng, who was standing at the cabin door, felt a warning sign in his heart and shouted loudly.

"Sniper! It's an electromagnetic rifle! Three o'clock direction!"

There was no need for him to remind them. Everyone had already acted reflexively and hid on the other side of the scientific research ship before the second mass bomb hit.

Without any pause, Song Changfeng immediately remotely activated the deflector shield of the scientific research ship.

A few seconds later, at the same time, the second mass bomb hit a place ten meters away from them, blasting the roof of the concrete building and exposing the steel bars!

Fortunately, the bullet was deflected by the deflector shield.

If this hit someone, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Seeing the shocking breach, Song Changfeng's heart was beating violently as he hid at the cabin door.

㳔Who is he? !

No--

Now is not the time to think about this.

Looking at the people suppressed outside the scientific research ship, he shouted at the top of his voice.

"Come up quickly!"

Seeing the deflector shield open, four surveyors from outside the cabin immediately rushed into the door.

There were three more bangs and bangs in the distance, but apart from splashing some concrete debris, they did not have any impact on everyone.

Seeing that all the team members returned to the ship, Song Changfeng immediately closed the hatch.

The hatch is closed!

Looking at the tightly closed hatch and the well-functioning shield energy tank, his wildly beating heart finally calmed down.

It's safe...

As the anti-force device was activated, the plasma engine sprayed out a plume, and the scientific research ship rose into the sky against the deflector shield.

Everyone slumped on the ground and opened their helmets, with expressions of shock on their faces.

"Mom..."

"What happened just now?!"

"Xiao Wang..."

"Damn it!"

Thinking about the young man who unfortunately died, Song Changfeng felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

Although they didn't get along for long, the young man named Wang still left a good impression on him. He didn't expect the ending to be so careless...

However, now is not the time to be sad. As the captain, he has more important things to do...

Tapping his index finger on his neck, Song Changfeng connected to the communication module of the scientific research ship and made a report in a serious tone.

"...this is Beacon Team...we're ambushed."

"We're not sure how those guys found us. It's like... like they knew where we were."

There was a rustling sound of electricity flowing on the other end of the communication channel, and it was quiet as if it was broken.

Song Changfeng's expression was slightly hesitant, and he confirmed that the connection was good and there was nothing abnormal.

What's going on?

Just when he was stunned, a cold touch suddenly penetrated his chest through his back.

He watched helplessly as a dagger came out of his chest, and the four familiar faces turned from shock to panic.

"cough--"

Song Changfeng wanted to say something else, but he only coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then his vision went black. When he regained consciousness, he fell on the blood-stained alloy floor.

A stranger wearing an exoskeleton stood in the center of the buffer cabin. A dark silver helmet and jet black goggles covered the man's face. Blood dripped on the floor along the dagger.

As for his four teammates, they were all lying on the blood-stained floor like him.

Song Changfeng didn't know what method the guy used. He only knew that the guy killed five of them in an instant.

Optical camouflage…

No, not just optical camouflage!

He suddenly realized what the electromagnetic signal ripples that were jumping on the radar were.

The sniper who fired at them was not to snipe them at all, but to cover the boarding teammates...

"You...this guy...what the hell is this."

Song Changfeng tried his best to reach out his hand, trying to grab the man's leg.

As if hearing his voice, the man turned around and faced him.

Without any warning, the bloody knife tip and the toes pointing towards him seemed to disappear from his sight in an instant.

When Song Changfeng suddenly noticed, a subtle sound passed by the back of his head.

"puff--"

No pain.

Song Changfeng only felt his eyes rolling forward, and then his consciousness completely fell into the abyss...

At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away, somewhere in the swamp, the Investigation Department's containment planning team was waiting.

In a combat command room covering an area of ​​200 square meters, dozens of pairs of eyes stared directly at the six missing signals on the holographic screen, and there was total silence.

The man standing under the holographic screen had a gloomy and uncertain expression that made it difficult to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

At this time, a B-level researcher came to him cautiously and reported in a low voice.

"No signal..."

The man's face became more and more gloomy.

In any case, losing a scientific research ship is a big deal, especially if this scientific research ship is lost.

The CTO will definitely ask this question.

Even if he is the director of the Investigation Department, he is not that easy to fool.

After a long silence, the man finally sighed and closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.

"...It seems we can only rely on our allies."

The league loves to tear things down.

The scientific research ship is not an all-terrain survey vehicle. It is a tool that can fly to the moon with just a kick of the accelerator.

If it wasn't absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to ask those blue gophers...

…

People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

At this moment, the entire alliance army was still immersed in the joy of victory in the war, and did not know what trouble their allies had encountered.

The entrance to the refugee shelter.

The smiling, indebted man was carrying a sack and giving out sweets to the cute little girl he caught.

In fact, he originally had two sacks.

However, several dogs were robbed on the way here, and now there is only one left.

Looking at the little girls eating chocolate with happy faces, he couldn't express his satisfaction, as if he was the melted chocolate.

Isn't this more fun than feeding the pigeons at Chip Harbor? !

"Hey - I'm afraid this guy is not a pervert, right?" [Hungry Power] showed a speechless expression on his face.

Standing nearby, [bowing to the hungry forces], he held her hand.

"Whatever, that guy has big eyes."

"Oh, it's Big Eyes..." [Hungry Power] suddenly nodded, with an expression of "That's no more", and then looked at his opponent with a suspicious look on his face, "Wait a minute, Why do you sound so familiar with him? You often play together?"

[Bow down to the hungry forces] Cold sweat broke out, and he quickly waved his hands to clarify.

"I, I... there is no need to be familiar with him. Who doesn't know him if he has a number on the forum?"

Seeing Jiang Xin's doubts, he put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her aside.

"Let's go, let's get back to work and leave this guy alone. Although he has no moral integrity, he still has a bottom line."

This is indeed the case.

Although pairs of eyes were fixed on this guy with suspicion, since he didn't take any further steps or make any other attention-grabbing moves, no one said much at this point.

Big Eye has long since stopped caring about other people's thoughts.

Let these bitches say whatever they want, anyway, he has a good reputation and no need to worry about too many debts.

Compared to those 10,000-minded players, he really still prefers to stay with NPCs.

"...Eat, you're welcome, your big-eyed uncle has a lot more here."

Looking at the faces flashing with hope, Big Eyes could not wait to turn all the silver coins in his pocket into chocolates and sprinkle them with them.

A thin girl looked up at him, her eyes sparkling like little stars.

"Uncle Big Eyes...are you...are you Santa Claus?"

She didn't know what the word meant, but she accidentally heard other shelter residents describe him that way.

With a big smile on his face, Debt was about to say that he shouldn't listen to the other blue gophers. He always entered through the front door and never climbed through the chimney.

But at this moment, a humorous voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Santa Claus? No, no, no, it's generally called a licking dog in our place."

The little girl was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and repeated silently.

"Tian gou?"

Seeing that she looked quite similar to her, the boy and Zhuan's eyes lit up, and he rewarded her with a lollipop with a smile on his face.

"That's right, that's how you pronounce it!"

Without giving Big Eyes any time to react, the little girl looked at him happily and imitated the "shelter slang" she had just learned.

"Uncle Big Eyes is a licking dog!"

The sparkling expression was too dazzling, and the harsh sound seemed to have a critical impact, which hurt the eyes and the heart indescribably.

pain!

It hurts so much!

"Hahahaha!"

The boy and Bian laughed loudly, while Big Eyes flew up in anger and kicked the former on the butt.

"I'm going to fuck you!"

Seeing that this guy had murderous intentions, the guy was also smart and ran away in a hurry.

"F*ck! Brother Yan, I was wrong! I apologize! I, I, I will give you a slap!"

"Die to me!!!"

The man who dropped the chocolate chased after the man with his big eyes, wanting to kill the dog back to the spring.

The two of them ran around the camp twice without stopping. After all, their mental and physical abilities were still a little weak.

Watching the two people who couldn't stop laughing, the drum shampooer shouted loudly.

"Stop fighting!"

Seeing the commotion at the entrance of the camp, Laplace couldn't help but smile.

It seems that such a relaxing and comfortable life has not happened in a long time.

For a moment, he seemed to have returned to Dawn City a long time ago.

At this time, the commander of the Death Corps and the Corps walked in from outside the camp and held down the two "conspicuous bags".

"We're on a mission. The headquarters said that a researcher died in the north. Well, he seemed to be a prospector... Anyway, he was from the academy, so that's pretty much it."

The young man and Zhuang raised their heads in confusion.

"People from the academy? Are any of them here?"

The drum shampooer also looked confused and scratched the back of his head.

"I didn't see them during the fight, but they showed up again after the fight."

Edge Paddling smiled.

"When have those guys been idle? In any case, someone making small moves on our territory is a hidden danger after all. Who will come with me to take a look?"

Yidi Lao and Big Eyes raised their hands in unison.

Edge paddling snapped his fingers.

"Okay, bring your equipment and follow me."
