Chapter 55: Platycodon

It took Hu Yan three full days to calm his emotions. +++ Popular Tanmei Novels: www.sto123.cc
Relying on the tenacity in the face of war, Hu Yanmian (qiang) stabilized his spirit and tried his best to calmly "go online and offline". The rest of the time, he mostly stayed underground in the ruins of the town. In order to make sure that Hu Yan would not miss it, Shu Jun and Zhu Yanchen stayed in the same room with him, answering his questions at any time.
Three days later, Hu Yan basically recovered his calm. The cleanup of the ruins of the town has also begun to take shape, and the embryonic form of an underground town has gradually formed.
The materials were purchased temporarily, the lighting appliances were rather rough, and only the cheapest bulbs were available. The dim light illuminates the hole, and Hu Yan squeezed the wet soil with his hands.
The soil is full of small gravels and corpses with empty shells.
"I thought before that this modeling is too detailed." Hu Yan muttered, "Squad, how did you survive? Back then, our companions..."
"I was alive by accident." Shu Jun replied bitterly, without further explanation.
Hu Yan understood his subtext and smirked: "I don't know if I can return to the battlefield. When the holiday is over, Blackbird will definitely have other tasks. I really can't, I..."
"Lao Dong is ours, he will fully support you. Lao Hu, do you know why I am the first to wake you up?"
"..."
"I also told you before that Luo Duan will not stop acting. If everyone is recovered at the same time, what will happen according to your management experience?" Facing the chaotic Hu Yan, Shu Jun did not get angry.
Hu Yan gritted his teeth: "Report! People who have lost their loved ones will want to work hard. People like me will be confused. There must be some people who deny reality and want to escape."
"and then?"
"Then, then everyone's team will fall apart..."
"It's going to fall apart. Everyone will end up together. If I were to break up, I would cut off the escape route for the first time. If the revenge faction is violent, everyone will be forced to get involved. I think you understand that. Mood-even if you don't want to face the reality, can you still work for humans? People have no hope and choices are quite limited."
Hu Yan leaned against the underground tunnel and sighed severely.
"Lao Hu, you are a wise man. I will restore you first, and then restore the relatively sane (gan gan) department one by one. In this way, even if Luo breaks his hand, at least everyone can find order as soon as possible, and will not set foot on a dead end. . To be honest, I’m not sure what the future will look like—after everyone survives, we still have time to think about it.

"I understand." Hu Yan was silent for a long time. "Although it is impossible to forgive those people, I did not live enough. But I have a problem... Team Shu, just to prove to me, you have spent so much money. It’s so exciting. When there are more people to recover, what should you do? Everyone has to run to your house one by one. Humans will definitely find problems."
"I have a way." Shu Jun said softly, the gray (color) pupils glowing in the dark, like the eyes of a dead spirit.
"Okay, then I will go back to sort out the current situation and refine the key points." Hu Yan stood up, the lightness of his body disappeared. "After the reunion festival, new tasks will be issued. We are running out of time...help me bring a good wife to my sister-in-law."
Shu Jun: "..." It seems that this person has regained some energy.
It is a pity that Zhu Yanchen is not by his side.
In order to avoid (stabbing ci) irritating Hu Yan, Shu Jun temporarily did not reveal (show) Zhu Yanchen's identity. Early this morning, he sent Zhu Yanchen to city y.
Xia Yufeng couldn't handle the next thing.
The reason is quite simple-the reunion festival in "Erosion" is coming.
The Reunion Festival in the middle of the year and the New Year at the end of the year are the two most important festivals in "Erosion". On the night of the Reunion Festival, people will walk along the river and release gorgeous fireworks to pray for well-being. Shu Jun's memories of the past were broken on the night of the Reunion Festival 16 years ago.
In "Erosion", the Reunion Festival also has corresponding activities. At that time, venues will be set aside near city y, the official will arrange various interesting tasks, and well-known npcs will also come to perform live. Said to be relaxed, there are many team points to get at the celebration. There are as many as 30,000 combat players in "Erosion", and they will gather near the city of Y.
Luo Duan wants to do tricks, and the Reunion Festival celebration is a perfect opportunity. Hearing that Luo Duan had been hiding in the command center, Shu Jun firmly strengthened this idea.
At present, only Shu Jun himself can fight against Luo Duan, and Luo Duan is as cunning as a fox, it is difficult to be assassinated (sha), and he can only be exposed. However, the two of them are going to fight in the command center, even if they win, the situation of the team will be exposed. Shu Jun is fine, but the players who have not been awakened will definitely suffer.
Now he can't move Luo Duan, Luo Duan can't reach the player, this deadlock cannot last forever. The problem lies in the fact that the sigma is in the light and the sigma is in the dark.
... Shu Jun understands the truth. But when he returned to the hotel and faced the empty double bed, he still felt a little melancholy.
In the past, in order to take care of Hu Yan, the work and rest of the two people were quite different. Now that Hu Yan has finally stabilized, they have to live in two places again.
Shu Jun stayed for a while, gave himself a five-minute break, and then picked up the communicator: "Yujin? Um, it's me, what happened to what we asked you to do before?... Brother, let's not complain. You just have to dig deeper."
y city.
Zhu Yanchen did not immediately replace Xia Yufeng, he went to the Ai's Medical Center first.
"Oh, are you here to check out?" Ai Xiaoxiao raised his eyelids when he recognized Zhu Yanchen. "The technical support a few days ago was worth a fortune."
"Shu Jun and I agree that Luo Duan will start at the reunion celebration. I can set the celebration place a little further away, but city Y may still be affected. For strategic considerations, I want to transfer the underground machinery to "
"No." Ai Xiaoxiao raised his head, his eyes like a knife.
"At that time, I will maximize the defenses in the city, so as to ensure that there is no accident for the residents. The buildings and the power system are inherently fragile, and I may not be able to preserve the'bellflower'."
"We made it fourteen years ago. I am a layman. I am not so enlightened. I don't want to be revolutionary like you." Ai Xiaoxiao folded his arms and said, "Yes,'Platus grandiflora' was indeed designed by you. , You also paid for it. But it’s me who hides it, and it’s me who fine-tunes it and maintains it daily. For 14 years, Zhu Yanchen, if you take it away, my patients may not be able to carry it."
As she talked, her smile twisted: "Or do you think that people who are not in human form are not humans? Don't tell me the truth, I will not sacrifice them for anything. ."
"I've considered these things." Zhu Yanchen shook his head. He has known Ai Xiaoxiao for more than ten years and he has long been used to Ai Xiaoxiao's sharp teeth. "Shu Jun can temporarily (suppress) the corrosive substance in their bodies, causing an effect similar to suspended animation. When they are moved to a safe place, it is enough to relieve (suppression), no additional medication is needed."
"...This way." Ai Xiaoxiao snorted in his nose, "So you came to see them?"
"Well, I need to record the body data of everyone. The caravan of the fourth family has also been contacted, and the transportation of the'Baijiu' and the patient will not be a problem."
"You follow me." Ai Xiaoxiao grabbed the key ring and walked deep underground.
The bottom of the Ai Shi Medical Center.
The huge mechanical device hummed, and the sleeping cabins lay horizontally quietly.
"203 people." Ai Xiaoxiao said in a cold tone, "I have recorded everyone's (body shen) body data. Since 14 years ago, one day has not been bad."
Zhu Yanchen walked through the coffin-like dormant cabin and stopped in front of the middle dormant cabin. He stretched out a hand and slowly stroked the lid of the dormant cabin.
Fourteen years ago, there was no such deep basement in the Ai's Medical Center.
At that time, Zhu Yanchen was close to fifteen, and he had gradually begun to deal with some not-so-difficult government affairs. Ai Xiaoxiao back then was one of those "exercise questions".
The matter is simple. The base found a young (female nu) who tried to contact the player, but the opponent was extremely anti-reconnaissance (strong qiang) and did not catch it for a while. The manager of the stronghold didn't take it seriously, but reported it according to the rules. It happened that Zhu Yanchen was studying in the stronghold, and Zhu Sheng left the matter to him.
"Grab her." Zhu Sheng said. "Then follow the process."
For Zhu Yanchen at the time, tracking was simple. Shao (female nu) is quite cautious, but obviously has a companion with limited mobility and can't run far.
When contacting her, he deliberately distracted his men. When the two met for the first time, Ai Xiaoxiao hid in a cave on the edge of the erosion zone, his eyes full of hatred.
"Don't move my patient." She was dirty all over, showing her teeth threateningly, holding her gun tremblingly.
A female (sexual xing) player is fainting (sleeping Shui) behind her. Her (body shen) body was eroded quite severely, and almost only bones remained in her lower body, but the wound was treated (dry gan) cleanly. A comatose person can't do this, 80% of the girl's handwriting.
But even so, if she does not receive proper treatment in time, she will not live long.
"This injury... she fell into a swamp." Zhu Yanchen ignored the muzzle and approached the player. The girl screamed and almost fired.
"Stay away from us!" The girl stretched her teeth and claws.
"You can't use the player's gun, the insurance is not open." Zhu Yanchen squatted, carefully checking the woman's wound. "You are not a player."
"So what?" Shao (female nu) gritted her teeth. "You came to'handle her', didn't you? I have seen them all-some of them who were seriously injured escaped from the marsh and came to'rescue' the garrison? They (killed sha) everyone, I can see clearly... if they didn't think this sister was dead..."
As the heir of the Zhu family, Zhu Yanchen has already understood the fate of the Hecheng people.
Fortunately, (dry gan) (dry gan) died in battle, or was euthanized at a certain age. Unfortunately, half-life was taken back on the battlefield, unable to return to the battlefield, and unable to die for a while. When such a person is found, the garrison usually kills all of them.
This "patient" is obviously the second case. Shao (female nu) is covered in black mud. It is estimated that seeing the situation is not good, she gave the player a simple dressing and reluctantly (qiang) escaped with her back.
Zhu Yanchen took out his handkerchief and wiped the woman's face with water: "This is not the first time you have done this."
The young man (female nu) looked at Zhu Yanchen vigilantly—the young man in front of him was so handsome and beautiful, with a brand-new uniform. At first glance, he was not a simple character.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to say that your emergency treatment is pretty good." Zhu Yanchen retracted the handkerchief, "If you are willing to tell the truth, I can help you."
He raised his hands and motioned to Young (female nu) to remove the gun from his waist. The young (female nu) hesitated for a moment and did so.
"Ai Xiaoxiao." After kicking the gun far away, she introduced herself irritably.
"Zhu Yanchen."
"Zhu Yanchen from Zhujia?" Ai Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes.
"Yes." Zhu Yanchen nodded, "If you are not found, where do you want to take her?"
"A certain settlement." Ai Xiaoxiao naturally didn't plan to tell it all. "Anyway, I want to take it to a place where someone will take care of it. Don't think I don't know what your idea is—you want me to take you there and then kill us all. "
She protected the woman behind her, (body shen) trembling slightly.
"I can spend with you here, but this lady can't afford it." Zhu Yanchen pointed out ruthlessly, "If I want to disadvantage you, I can contact the stronghold immediately. Their interrogation is much more professional than mine."
"You want to take the credit."
"I also have better control."
Shao (female nu) tossed about the gun in her hand for a long time, but she couldn't find the insurance design of the player's gun. And she herself is exhausted, it is difficult to kill a man of the same age (sexual xing). In a dilemma, she had to compromise: "I still have a knife in my hand. When there is a signal, you immediately terminate the tracking task and dismiss your subordinates. Don't put any nonsense, have you heard? If you do it all , I can take you to my place."
Zhu Yanchen didn't say anything.
The young man (female nu) puts a cloak on the player and takes out another one to let Zhu Yanchen cover his face and dress up. She put the knife on the back of Zhu Yanchen, and the three of them tossed for a long time, barely rubbing (强qiang) (强qiang) to the nearest settlement. There is a rudimentary medical clinic near the settlement, and the four characters "E's Medical Center" are crookedly written on the signboard.
"Mother-in-law!" After entering the door, Ai Xiaoxiao locked the door. Raised his throat. "Mother-in-law, I'm back!"
An old woman walked out from the inside, her back twisted, one eye bulged with purple (colored) blood bubbles, like goldfish eye bubbles.
"Xiao Xiao, this is..." The old woman glanced at Zhu Yanchen and coughed twice. Then she shot it, fortunately, Zhu Yanchen moved extremely fast. He fetched the book by the door and raised his hand to block the flying things
A small needle tremblingly pierced the book.
Before Ai Xiaoxiao could react, Zhu Yanchen chopped off her knife, and the tip of the knife pressed against Ai Xiaoxiao's neck: "Take me to the'patient'."
Ai Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes with anger. The old woman sighed and resignedly picked up a bunch of keys.
The medical hall is not big, with a simple basement hidden underneath. As soon as I entered the room, an unpleasant rancid smell came to my face. The two figures lay on the sick (bed chuang) with a drip on their hands, (sleeping Shui) very heavy. Their muscles (flesh rou) all have different degrees of atrophy and deformation, no doubt they have been here (sleeping Shui) for a long time.
One of them is familiar.
"Xu Kan." Zhu Yanchen whispered. "According to official records, Xu Kan passed away three years ago."
"My dad didn't die." Ai Xiaoxiao's tone was quite rude even when he was hit by the knife. "It's me who violates the law. If you want to (kill sha), you have to do whatever you want. My mother-in-law is old, even if my dad is sober, they can't do anything. Take me away if you want, two or three living dead are not worth it. How much credit."
Zhu Yanchen neatly put away the knife: 强qiang) made an artificial coma, and then... let me see, uh, these medicines. I haven't thought about this kind of purification combination. Did you think about it yourself?"
Ai Xiaoxiao, who had suddenly regained his freedom, was a little confused: "You..."
"Artificial coma is for fear that they will see the reality clearly and fall into madness, I understand." Zhu Yanchen squatted in front of Xu Kan's bed, observing very carefully. "But you keep making them faint, can you really solve the problem?"
Ai Xiaoxiao is still confused: "No, the last name is Zhu, you...?"
"I said it at the beginning. I can help you as long as you are willing to tell the truth." Zhu Yanchen turned his head back, his tone of voice flat. "Tell me what'father' is all about first."
Ai Xiaoxiao wiped his face twice: "Okay, I will settle that sister first."
Ai Xiaoxiao's story is not complicated.
She can't remember her biological parents. Since she can remember, she has lived like a mouse and learned early to beg for food near the stronghold.
Players will pass by here and see her being pitiful, and occasionally someone will throw away some food and money, barely enough to keep her alive. Before Xu Kan appeared, she was not much different from an ordinary stray cat.
Xu Kan treats her very well.
"I have a daughter who is younger than you, but unfortunately I can't see her often." He sighed, (touching Mo) (touching Mo) her head. "Take these clothes and food. Don't go to the erosion zone, I will take care of you. What is your name?"
"no name."
"Then call Xiao Xiao."
He would set aside half an hour every day to see her and taught her a lot.
"Don't let anyone stumble on your (bodyshen) body, especially the lower body, remember? This world has (Fan) crimes. In our last mission information... Forget it, go far." At this time, his tone was quite serious. "In short, the most people (touch Mo) (touch Mo) on your head. If someone smashes you, you struggle quickly and cry for help. It is best to run within the guard's jurisdiction."
"Neither can you?" she asked. "I want to hug."
"No." He shook his head. "No one will do."
She was a little disappointed, but according to Xu Kan's instructions, she dumped a lot of strange people.
When she was a little older, he began to bring her books. She especially likes medical books-Xu Kan gets hurt after each mission, and she is a little unhappy. When Xu Kan was away, she ran around, eavesdropping on the conversation between the merchants and guards of the settlement to relieve her boredom.
Leaning on those pieces, she couldn't spell the truth. But Ai Xiaoxiao knew that the guards didn't really respect Xu Kan. According to them, her "adoptive father" seems to have died soon.
She was a little frustrated and learned harder.
Xu Kan is very pleased with her progress: "Some time ago, I met a mother-in-law. She opened a medical clinic near her settlement and lived very close to here. I talked to her and she was willing to accept a student like you. "
"Then will you come to see me?"
"I have to do the task." He (touches Mo) (touches Mo) her head again. "And in a while, I will retire, we probably won't see it."
Xu Kan is going to see his real daughter, and she feels sad: "But you are my father too! I won't go."
Xu Kan was stunned: "Don't make trouble, be good. Granny Ai is a very good person."
"Don't go!"
"Xiao Xiao, obedient."
She cried secretly all night, and finally went to the hospital with Xu Kan obediently. Granny Ai is indeed a lovely old lady. From that day on, the orphan on the side of the stronghold had a real name—people in the settlement began to call her Ai Xiaoxiao.
Xu Kan occasionally came to see her, and by the way gave her mother-in-law Ai some food. Granny Ai doesn't object to them meeting, but she looks a little sad.
One day, Xu Kan, who had made an appointment to see her, did not show up for a long time.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, where is my dad?" she asked. "He said he will come to see us after the mission."
"You are not young anymore, Xiao Xiao." Granny Ai sounded quite tired, "I have been a doctor here for decades, and I know a lot about what I should know and what I should not know. Next thing, listen carefully. ..."
However, Ai Xiaoxiao did not want to accept that reality.
After knowing the truth about the player system, she disappeared from the Ai's Medical Center. Two days later, the young man (female nu) dragged a person wrapped in a cloak-half a person to be exact-swayed to the door.
"Grandma Ai." She said dreamily, "I found my father."
Her face was full of black mud, and tears rushed out of two conspicuous marks: "He is still alive, he doesn't recognize me... Can you save him?"
This rescue was three years.
"He can't last too long." After hearing what Ai Xiaoxiao said, Zhu Yanchen remained silent for a long time. "According to your medication, three years is almost the limit."
"I know." Ai Xiaoxiao blinked, "but I owe him. He gave me a life, a way out. But he and his people—"
"I can send them back." Zhu Yanchen stretched out a hand, "As long as we cooperate, I can find a way to send them back to that world. This is at least better than coma to death (strong qiang), what do you think?"
"Will the young master be doing well?" Ai Xiaoxiao (showing) his teeth, "kindness is also limited, this charity is not easy to do-I thought before, to invade the player system, you must get close enough to the command center, and A pile of money to build the dormant cabin. The intrusion machinery is more complicated and it is not a big deal. It can only be used with internal system permissions... It is enough if you don't catch us. I am very moved.
"You can open a store in city Y and make a basement. This distance is enough. In the dormant cabin, some old models will be eliminated and parts will flow into the market. As long as you are careful, you can get it."
Zhu Yanchen said solemnly.
"I thought about hacking the machinery for two full years. There are still deficiencies in the design, but it works fine. As for the internal permissions of the system, I wish my family, naturally there are some.
"What do you want?" Ai Xiaoxiao said directly, "I don't believe in pies that fall from the sky."
"I want these people to sleep peacefully, I want a treatment method that is compatible with (cheng) people, I want subordinates with the same interests, courage and ability." Zhu Yanchen closed his eyes, "...and the possibility of seeing someone again (sexual xing) )."
Ai Xiaoxiao thought for half an hour, and finally shook hands with him.
Since that day, fourteen years have passed, and the invading machine "Banji" has become more and more complete.
In the beginning, it could only open a one-way path, allowing those who had become a cheng to return to the "other side." It wasn't until three years ago that it could truly rewrite internal data without any trace without being discovered by the player system.
The irony is that the command center is studying related topics, trying to manufacture low-cost expansion machinery to prepare for the increase in production of the Chengcheng people. If you hand in "Banji", it is estimated that you can pass it immediately.
Zhu Yanchen raised his head and looked at the light on the ceiling.
"Send me their physiological data, pay attention to conditioning these days, and prepare them for soft sleep."
"Well, what about the transfer time?"
"The eve of the reunion celebration."
