Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

None of the players responded.

"But how can I feel at ease if I let you go?"

At this time, Yu Shui finally walked over from the roadside again, but this time, the corner of his eyebrow was broken, and now a trail of blood was flowing down his right cheek.

The bright red blood slid down to his chin, then gathered into droplets and finally fell to the ground.

Coupled with his determined eyes at this moment, it looks a bit frightening.

Fang Laosan was stunned.

This sentence sounds so familiar...

He suddenly remembered that the village chief seemed to have said the same thing when he faced the leader of the refugees today.

But how would they know?!

They were obviously not there at the time!!

“Who are you!! Who the hell are you!!”

Fang Laosan seemed to have lost control of his emotions under extreme fear and high pressure. He suddenly stuck his head out of the window and stared at Yu Shui.

"us?"

Yu Shui took the gun handed to him by [Ko Ai's Lifetime Push], and then tapped Fang Lao San's forehead lightly with the muzzle of the gun.

"It's the one who killed you."

……

The sun gradually set, and an early summer breeze, already carrying some warmth, blew in from the distant mountains.

"Squeak—bang."

Song Lian closed the door of the armory, then stretched himself with satisfaction.

It’s another busy day!

The repair work on the Qi Cannon has made some progress, and I also tried new delicacies in the restaurant.

comfortable~

"call--"

After stretching and taking a long breath, she looked up at the sky. The setting sun was still hanging red in the sky, and the sun's arc could still be vaguely seen.

It’s still early.

Song Lian tilted his head and thought for a moment, then put his hands behind his back and slowly began to walk towards the gathering place.

To be honest, these new allies who arrived today seem to be quite motivated.

Another layer of woods was cut down on the edge of the gathering place, and many new ingredients were placed in the small courtyard behind the restaurant. Among the ones she knew, there were several giant Venus flytraps and several one-eared rabbits.

By the way, it seems like these soldiers have been quite diligent in catching rabbits recently.

Is rabbit meat delicious?

And she always felt that these people had a lot of opinions about Venus flytraps.

Anyway, there is never a shortage of food made with Piranha Plants in the restaurant. Even the chef named [Lazy State Ramen] has developed many new dishes that can use Piranha Plants.

The taste is pretty good.

However, because she had not yet digested the lunch she had eaten, she did not choose to go into the restaurant.

After walking around the gathering place and saying hello to a few players he knew, Song Lian walked out of the camp again. As he walked, he saw a few players sitting in front of the earth wall and chatting.

Come to think of it, she had never noticed this earth wall.

"Did you build these walls?" Song Lian asked.

[My favorite is black stockings and beautiful legs] After hearing the voice, he immediately turned around and found that it was Song Lian. He nodded and said with some pride.

"Yeah, how's it going? Not bad, isn't it?"

Song Lian blinked, then walked closer, touched the wall with his hand, and looked at the soil piled on the side.

"It's OK. It's enough to deal with some scattered inferior demons."

"But if it's a low-level demon, it can probably just find something to stand on and flip it over, not to mention if it's a low-level demon with earth attributes..."

"I estimate that with just one blow, a big hole will be created in your wall."

As she spoke, she gestured with her fingers.

"Do low-level earth-attribute monsters have special attacks against wall-type fortifications?" After hearing this new knowledge, Ah Tui immediately asked.

"Special attack?"

Song Lian chewed the word in his mouth for a while, and then combined it with the context before he understood the meaning of the word.

"To be more precise, it should be a special attack against earthen fortifications."

"If the fortifications were made of metal, then the earth-attributed demons wouldn't be anything special. However, we don't often build city walls these days..."

She raised her head slightly to look at a few players, then recalled it in her mind.

"Well, you probably haven't experienced the scene of demons attacking all over the mountains."

"Come to think of it, I also watched the video. Groups of demons rushed towards Cloud City under command. The sky was filled with beams of light from concentrated energy cannons, and the ground was littered with the corpses of inferior demons."

"In that situation, what use would a wall-like fortification be?"

Because Yunzhong City covers a large area and is located on the central plains of the northwest region.

It connects the traffic between the north and south gathering places, and is also one of the fulcrums for the survival of the entire northwest region.

Therefore, the demons’ attitude towards Yunzhong City was not to infiltrate Yunhe Town in the same way as they did, but they sent large armies to attack it many times.

Fortunately, the plains are conducive to the use of Qi Cannons, and there are many relics left by the Allied Forces in the city, which has allowed them to stand firm until now despite many attacks.

"really."

Ah Tui also imagined the scene in his mind, and then nodded slightly.

Unless there is a city wall dozens of meters high like the ones in the Blue Star animation, otherwise in the face of monsters all over the mountains, a city surrounded by a wall of more than ten meters is just a coffin for burying the people in the city.

"But if the demons are so powerful, why don't they surround Cloud City all the time?"

"If the city runs out of ammunition and food, won't Cloud City fall on its own?"

Alps, who had been listening for a long time, raised his hand and asked.

"Then how do you know that no city has been destroyed by demons like this?"

Song Lian immediately asked back.

"Was the Northwest Territory always as devastated as it is now?"

"Forehead……"

Alps paused, he really didn't realize this.

In other words, most people easily fall into the trap of survivor bias when thinking about things.

"Hey--"

But since the conversation has come to this, Song Lian simply continues to have an in-depth chat with these players.

She looked down and found that the ground didn't seem very clean, so she simply found a stone to sit on, crossed her legs, supported her head with her left hand, and sorted out her words a little.

"The number of demons is not infinite, and high-level demons and great demons among them are also very rare."

"If they choose to send out a large army and want to trap a gathering place the size of Cloud City, they will first need a large number of inferior demons to consume the ammunition of the Qi Cannon."

"Secondly, we need to have enough high-level demons and great demons on the front lines at all times to prevent the masters in the city from coming out and attacking directly."

"It will take a long enough time to have both."

"During this time, other gathering places can choose to provide assistance or launch a counterattack against the demon-occupied areas."

"This requires the demon to take all these situations into consideration and resolve them one by one."

Having said that, Song Lian paused, then looked at the players in front of him who were listening attentively.

"So war isn't as simple as you think. This is a war between two races. Unless one side has the strength to crush the other, it can only slowly erode away the other."

"and……"

"The demons have gained quite a bit over the years. Dongli, Dunqiu, Jicheng... I don't know how many cities have been conquered by them, and how many people have died at their hands."

As he spoke, Song Lian's tone became softer, even a little indifferent.

"How long can we hold on?"

Born into this world, everyone should plan to not live beyond the next year.

That’s why there are so many pleasure-seeking insects in Daxing.

She would choose to leave there.

Just when the atmosphere here was becoming a little dull, the gathering place suddenly became noisy.

Alps could hear faintly.

It seems that Yu Shui and the others are back?

Chapter 95 It's You!!

When did they go out?

Because he was busy building fortifications here almost the entire day, Alps didn't check the group chat much, and even on the forum, he just glanced at the titles casually.

So is there any new activity?

He immediately opened the internal testing group.

However, since there are nearly a hundred people in the group now, and someone is chatting or sending team information at all times, he can hardly see any useful information.

It can only be seen from the latest conversations between several players that the source of the excitement is indeed Yu Shui and his group.

seem?

What else did you bring back?

"Let's go back and take a look."

Ah Tui didn't even open his group, he just jumped up from the ground and stretched his limbs hard.

It’s great in the game, I dare to use all my strength when stretching.

No need to worry about cramps or injuries.

If this happened in reality, his thighs would probably have collapsed on the spot.

Thigh cramps, that feeling...

Tsk tsk, my scalp tingles just thinking about it.

"Mr. Song, do you want to go back with us?"

After stretching comfortably, Ah Tui turned around to look at Song Lian who was still sitting on the stone in a daze.

I don't know why, but I feel that after that conversation, Song Lian's image in his mind suddenly became much more three-dimensional.

I used to think she was just a standard scientific research NPC, skilled but unsociable and quiet.

Now it seems that she is also a living person, with her own past and story.

"no need."

Song Lian looked at Ah Tui, then smiled and shook his head slightly.

After talking so much with these players just now, she suddenly remembered some things that she didn't want to recall.

Now, it’s better to sit by the river, enjoy the breeze and relax.

"Then let's go first."

"Ah."

Several players said a simple goodbye to Song Lian, then turned around and trotted away into the gathering place.

The noise seemed to come from the other side of the gathering place.
