Hello, Mr. Duro, dear Director of the Jishi City Hall, I am the city owner of Dawn City
Luca.
Refuge B4 floor, browsing room.
Luca in formal attire sits on the sofa.
On the coffee table in front of him was a holographic computer pen, and the light blue beams intertwined above the coffee table, forming a three-dimensional imaging conical surface.
Through the light blue background, you can see the bay window of the director of the Director of the Jishi City Hall and the director sitting at the desk.
The Lord of Dawn City... Du Long frowned slightly, Where is your manager?
If the news is correct, he remembers that the highest authority in the alliance should be the manager.
What the hell is the Lord of Shuguang City?
And this Luca...
That old face shining with wind and sun was more like a farmer than a city lord.
What planes are the managers of the new alliance working on!
He couldn't understand it any more.
He did not take the change in Duroxian's attitude towards the heart. Luca continued in a gentle tone according to what the manager explained.
Our managers are inspecting Dawn City and may not be able to come back to Qingquan City in a short period of time.Because the communication situation there was a bit unsatisfactory, in order to show your respect and attention, he entrusted me to hold this telephone conversation with you.
When the manager explained this to me, he specifically told me that Stone City is a neighbor of the alliance and a friend of the alliance, so that I must show our friendship during the talks.
Duro's face said a hint of undetectable disapproval of this high-sounding wording..
friend?
What kind of stuff does Boulder need?
He originally wanted to say that since your manager was not there, he would wait for him to come back and discuss it, but thinking that this might last a long time, he swallowed this sentence again.
He doesn't care, at worst, wait, but the matter what the Lord of the Giant Rock City can't wait that long.
Duroon can be sure that if the new alliance's planes appear again in the airspace of the Rock, the anti-aircraft guns will definitely fire.
If this friction turns into a war, he can be sure that the northern suburbs will turn into scorched earth, and the militia that has emerged from all over the nest will seal the group of blue gophers in the turtle shell forever with steel bars and cement, but the outer city of the Giant Rock City will undoubtedly suffer huge losses.
Perhaps Mr. Fang Ming didn't care what it turned out there, just like the inner city never cared about what kind of life the residents of the outer city lived.
However, Duroon had to worry about it.
It's not because he is kind-hearted.
But he knew very well that the nobles in the inner city were his masters, but the factory owners and chamber of commerce owners in the outer city were his foundation.
Since you think we are friends, I hope your plane will not appear in the airspace of your friends in the future.Your plane appeared on our radar. This time our soldiers maintained restraint, but it was not certain next time.
Luca said looking at him.
This is a reasonable appeal, I want to know what your airspace range is?
Duro said bluntly.
The fifth ring road of Qingquan City is our airspace, bounded by the ring road.
This is impossible, Luca shook his head. There is also part of Shuguang City in the fifth ring of Qingquan City. We will respect your safety needs, but it must be based on the premise of not sacrificing our own safety.
Duro increased the volume.
Mr. Luca, I made it straight to the point. This is the requirement of our city lord. Do you understand the meaning of the word requirement?
Luca smiled faintly.
Of course I understand, but our managers have said that if we make concessions on airspace today, we will have to compromise on territorial issues tomorrow.We can ensure that our aircraft does not enter the ring line of Qingquan City West District, which is limited to this.
Duro lifted his eyebrows gently.
He said with a smile as if he had heard something interesting.
territory?What's the use of that broken place I want to do with you?
What is the picture of 10,000 or 20,000 acres of land?
What are the dilapidated houses?
That would be too underestimating them.
Luca replied in a tepid tone.
Although our place is a bit broken, we are very satisfied with our home.
Duro's tone was filled with a hint of mockery.
You wouldn't think that you won a few primitive people with fire sticks and are qualified to negotiate terms with us.
To Duro's surprise.
The old man in front of him actually nodded.
This made him even wonder if he had read it wrong.
Of course, I have no doubt that we have this qualification.
Looking straight at the director of the city hall, Luca continued for granted, "In fact, I'm talking to 'you' now, right?"
When he said this, he bit the word you very hard.
Du Long narrowed his eyes slightly.
He suddenly felt a little confused.
What's the meaning?
Luca said calmly.
It's not interesting, your army is very strong, but we are not weak either.Rock may defeat us on the frontal battlefield, but we can guarantee that our opponents will pay a heavy price.
And the price must be ‘you’.
This sentence deeply hurt Duro.
The inner city has been neglecting the outer city for a long time, and anyone knows it well, and he is no exception.He had no doubt that if there was a war, they would become cannon fodder.
Just like every wave.
But so what?
This kind of thing needs a wasteland customer to remind you?
Du Long sat upright and smiled furiously.
Are you threatening me?
The atmosphere at the negotiating table instantly dropped to freezing point.
Luca was also very nervous.
However, he did not write his emotions on his face.
Before the negotiations began, the manager explained to him that he could not show timidity or panic no matter what, and he should keep calm at any time.
The other party is very strong. From their standpoint, force coercion will become a convenient option because security issues are the pain point of the settlements of most survivors.
Although Giant Rock City is the spiritual licking dog of the ideal city, they are not as rich as they are full and will not have the so-called moral cleanliness.
Repeated jumps around the opponent's bottom line are dangerous, but if you show too weakly, it is also fatal.
Grasp the other party’s pain points, stop before the other party feels pain, give up some of the demands appropriately, and find a range that both of them can feel acceptable.
This is the significance of negotiations.
Looking at Duro, Luca spoke slowly.
Of course not, respected Director, we sincerely hope that we can live in a friendly and peaceful manner.There are enough tragedies in this world, such as alien species, slime molds, mutants, cultists, and plunderers... The fire of civilization is lingering under the cover of barbarism. In such an era, we are really, very reluctant to go to the last step.
After a pause, Luca continued.
...But sometimes, even if we are very reluctant, we must let others know that we are not scared and that the land we reclaim is not due to human charity.
Therefore, I would rather you understand my previous words as a response to the threat of war than threats.
Duro's eyes had narrowed into a slit, staring at Luca in the holographic image.
He was thinking.
Also weighing.
The talks fell into silence.
Luca waited patiently.
At this moment, Du Long suddenly blurted out a sentence that had nothing to do with the negotiation itself.
Did you think of these words yourself or your manager asked you to say them.
Luca replied without hesitation.
Is there any difference?The will of the manager is both the will of the alliance and my will.
Duro didn't say anything, just stared at the old man and looked thoughtfully for a while.
After about half a minute, he spoke slowly.
I don't agree with your sophistry about the 'war threat'.
He continued to say the topic after a change of tone.
But I admit your other sentence, there are enough tragedies in this world that we don’t need to add meaningless sadness.
For future relationships, I think we need to talk openly and honestly.
Hearing this sentence, Luca finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
I think so too.
……
Although the other party's arrogant attitude has not changed in any way, it is at least a good start to be willing to solve the problem through dialogue.
The next step is to bargain.
Duroon thinks this is his specialty. After all, before he became the director of the town hall, he was a businessman.
However, what he didn't expect was that the other party's ability to mess around was not inferior to him at all.
At least it's not as easy to fool as he thought.
...The area of Qingquan South Third Ring Road belongs to our airspace, and we need to fight against the wave!What's more, our Air Force has shared some of the pressure on you, which is also good for you!
Your Air Force?Oh, those paper planes?You might as well hire our plane directly. Anyway, you have not hired it before. I can give you a 20% discount.
Yes, we are paper airplanes, so why do you worry that we threaten your safety?Can't even accommodate paper planes in your mind?
...The South Fourth Ring Road to the South Fifth Ring Road is our bottom line!At the same time I need you to promise that the boundaries of the new alliance will not continue to expand southward.
We can stop expanding south, but in exchange, I ask you to stop banning new alliance goods, and we do not prohibit selling your goods, right?
The last impossible is that the ban on the sale of LD-47 is a requirement of ‘Jiushi City Military Industry’. I can only promise not to add a new list of import and export restrictions in areas other than ‘Military Industry’.
These conditions have met the negotiation expectations, but Luca still nodded as a difficult place.
That's fine, then keep the status quo.
Duroy breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense expression finally stretched out a smile.
Glad we reached an agreement.
There is no verbal agreement.
The two parties will sign specific agreements later.
As for the location of the contract, Duroon asked to do it at the City Hall of the Rock and invited him to visit the Rock.
Luca did not insist on the small matter of signing location under the instruction of the manager, and happily agreed to his request.
In addition to the issues of airspace and trade, the two sides also discussed cooperation in multiple fields and reached a consensus.
After the communication, Luca reached out and turned off the holographic computer. She seemed to have removed tens of millions of pounds of cover and leaned against the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.
Good job!
Hearing the praise from the browsing room door, Luca immediately stood up from the sofa and placed his right fist respectfully on his left chest.
Administrator.
No need to be polite, sit down.
Motion to Luca to sit down.
Chu Guang sat on the sofa opposite and looked at him with satisfaction.
To be honest, when I saved him, I didn’t think so much about it, it was just out of accidental kindness.
In addition, I happened to need an honest and obedient person to help manage the warehouse and inquire about the situation I didn't understand, so I took out a chip and bribed the execution farm guard.
At that time, Chu Guang did not expect much from him.
If nothing unexpected happens, his greatest achievement in his life is probably to help the outpost of the new alliance manage the warehouse.
Like Guo Niu, Guo Ma and other liberated serfs who also joined the new alliance very early.
However, Old Luka's performance in work was beyond Chu Guang's expectations.
Not only loyalty, but also an accurate understanding of one's own commands and his diligence and hard work are far beyond Chu Guang's initial expectations.
Although he was a serf, he was less flexible, compared to other wasteland tourists, this flaw is not harmful at all.
Now it seems that that chip is worth it.
I have to ask you to go to the Rock City later.
No trouble, it is my honor to serve you.Luca said respectfully.
Chu Guang smiled.
After a moment of pause, he restrained his joking expression and continued in a serious tone.
In addition, when you come back from the Stone City with a symbolic friendship agreement, you will be the lord of Dawn City.
Hearing this sentence, Luca was stunned.
The Lord of Dawn City?
Didn’t that mean it was just a title in negotiation?
Luca said in fear and trepidation.
Sir, but I
Knowing what he wanted to say, Chu Guang interrupted him.
OK, I have decided on this matter!I see your abilities, and no one is more suitable for this position than you.
Originally, Luca had been taking care of the farm in Changjiu.
As for origin.
In Chu Guang's opinion, it was not a problem at all.
Rather, this can become a banner of publicity.
In the new alliance, equality is not a slogan.As long as you can prove your ability and loyalty to the alliance, you can become the lord of the settlement even if you are humble.
good.
Chu Guang became more and more satisfied with his arrangements.
When he turned around, he would take time to write a passionate press release and throw it to the people on the Alliance Radio Station for publicity.
Although he was still worried about whether he could be competent for this important task, seeing that the manager chose him so firmly, Old Luca didn't say anything else, but just silently hid his gratitude in his heart.
After a while of calming down his breath, he looked at the manager and said seriously.
Sir... I don't quite understand one thing. Can you please ask me about it.
What's up.
Giant Rock City...Why are they obsessed with the airspace of Qingquan City?Luka had a hint of confusion in her eyes. They obviously didn't take our plane seriously.
That kind of thing that is in your heart cannot be hidden without taking it seriously.
The director of the city hall even used paper planes to describe the Alliance's aircraft.
Although he was angry, Luca had to admit that this arrogance was not without reason.
The aircraft of Giant Rock City may not be enough to see in front of the enterprise, but it was a product of the pre-war era.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the big guy with a sci-fi feel is not the same as the small planes in the new alliance.
It's great that you can think of this.
Looking at the old Luka who was slowly enlightened, Chu Guang nodded in praise. The reason was actually very simple, because you were right, and what they really care about was not airspace at all.
Luca was stunned.
I don't understand what this sentence means.
Chu Guang did not explain immediately, but reached out and pressed it gently on the holographic computer pen.
The city map of Qingquan City was projected into a light blue light cone, and the edge of the third ring line was flashing with several intermittent green dots.
Because Qingquan City Center is their real core of interests.
Variety mucus, evolutions, ancient battlefields, and equipment left over from pre-war eras... One fragment cannot restore the entire puzzle, but countless fragments are piled together, and something useful can always be restored.
A hint of surprise appeared on Luca's face.
If you say so, wouldn't that wave be...
Chu Guang nodded.
For them, it may not be entirely a disaster.
Our researchers have been studying evolutions that last wave spread to the northern suburbs, both at the biological level and at the engineering level.It’s just that we started too late, and even though we had excellent researchers, the progress was still much behind them.
Looking at Luca with a sudden look on his face, Chu Guang said slowly.
Like you said, they don't care about our planes at all because that thing can't even bother them.
Their real purpose is probably to limit our involvement in their treasures.
……
On the other side, the Boulder City Hall.
Du Long, who hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief.
While feeling relieved, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The planes of the new alliance will no longer enter their core area of interests, and the respected city lord will definitely be satisfied with this result.
The LD series weapons are still on the list of restricted imports, and the trade between the two sides will not be affected, and the military industry group will not make any remarks to him.
As for other areas outside of military industry?
What does it have to do with him?
What's more, trade itself is a thing that benefits both sides. It's not a bad thing that can buy cheaper consumer goods and industrial raw materials in Giant Stone City.
In Duroon's view, he just took out a little honey and received results that made everyone happy.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but praise himself in his heart.
I'm such a genius!
In the past, when I looked around, there was no decent opponent in the entire valley province in the south, and the Great Rift Valley in the north was too far away, and everyone looked down on each other.
He sat in the city hall office every day, either stamping or dozing off, and few people took him seriously.
Now there is finally someone who can highlight his intelligence!
At this time, the sound from the side interrupted his thoughts.
Mr. Director.
What's wrong?Looking at his deputy, Yege, Duro, who was in a good mood, said happily.
I don't understand why we talk so much nonsense with a group of scavengers?Yeage had a hint of displeasure on his face, their population was not even as large as ours.
The city was crowded with people who wanted to enter the city.
Even the dirt flowing out of the city is enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
Negotiating this matter with them made him feel unhappy.
Duro guessed what he was thinking and thought about how to answer this question.
Their strength is not as strong as us, but far less weak as we imagined.Do you remember the look of the person just now?
Yeage chuckled.
Can eyes kill people?
Dulong said in a gentle tone.
No, but it is not easy to make them surrender. Is it not good to negotiate and resolve the problem?If we really fight, we will be cannon fodder again.
Moreover, the city lord’s request was to keep their plane away from the Fourth Ring Road in Qingquan City. We not only completed the task, but also exceeded it.
He patted his deputy on the shoulder and continued with a gaze.
Be happy, don't hang your face.
……
Qingquan City, at the edge of the South Third Ring Road.
The slanted sunset lengthens the shadow of the viaduct piers.
As night was about to fall, the chewers wandering in this area gradually became manic and began to become more aggressive.
Shops along the street not far from the viaduct.
Squatting on the edge of the back of the window, paddling, holding an assault rifle in his hand, carefully monitoring the street outside the bunker.
In addition to him, there are nine teammates hidden nearby.
The alien corpses lying all over the street and the dense bullet holes on the wall tell the fierceness of the previous battle.
Four hours ago, he and his team members received the task and walked to the edge of the Third Ring Road in the southern part of Qingquan City to meet the Niuma Squad and his group that had withdrawn from the new map.
After a fierce firefight, they successfully cleared the alien species on the street.
However, as dusk is about to come, more and more alien species are beginning to spread from nearby buildings to the streets. It is hard to say how long the tranquility can last at this moment.
The boy and brick on the construction site holding a machine gun suddenly muttered.
I won't give it to you again for nothing.
When Kakarot happened to hear this sentence, he glared at him.
Less crow's mouth!
The debt-lossed look at the brother on the edge next to him.
How long will it take?
The edge was about to answer when something suddenly came from the intersection.
Everyone's nerves tense up instantly, and the weapon in their hands was aimed at it.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came
It's me, don't get angry.
Looking at the man who appeared at the intersection, he was slightly stunned on the edge of the water, and a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Damn it!?Old Bai?
Why are you like this?
At this moment, Lao Bai's situation can only be described as the word "will be embarrassed".
He was carrying a package wrapped in a parachute in his left hand and a blood-stained rifle in his right hand. Not only did his chemical protective suit disappear, his body was covered with mud, and the bulletproof vest on his chest was even more of a hole that was almost burnt through.
The whole person was like he was rolling out of hell.
Facing everyone's surprised gaze, Lao Bai smiled bitterly.
... Something went wrong.
What's this a little bit?!
Everyone looked at each other.
Let’s not talk about quitting smoking, Lao Bai Fangchang and others are already the ceiling of the full server’s combat power.
What is the situation? Even these guys are so difficult!
Debt was full of debt and swallowed.
...What about the others?
Lao Bai didn't say anything.
At this time, Fang Chang's voice came from behind him.
Dead.
There was a heavy expression on his face, Fang Chang's condition was similar to Lao Bai, and he looked like a dusty face.
He probably lost his rifle, holding a mechanical arm tied to a VM in his right hand, and half of his shoulder was hanging from the bloody interface, which was shocking to look at.
The edge paddling recognizes this guy.
It seems to be the wind's arm...
No matter what, the task is finally completed.
Throwing the bloody package on the ground, Lao Bai raised his arm and rubbed the mud and sweat on his forehead. This thing... please help me carry it, I really have no energy.
What's this thing?
The boy on the construction site and the brick walked forward, curiously uncovered the package and took a look, and found a pile of strange parts and dark red mushroom blocks lying inside.
Many of the fruits exposed the tentacles and were still slowly squirming, just like the beef that had just been cut.
The debris of the evolution body, who knows what it is.
Sitting on the hood of the used car, Fang Chang looked at the fungus blocks fiddled in the hand of the construction site and kindly reminded him.
You'd better not turn over the things in it with your hands... That's how our brothers who quit smoking died.
Luca.
Refuge B4 floor, browsing room.
Luca in formal attire sits on the sofa.
On the coffee table in front of him was a holographic computer pen, and the light blue beams intertwined above the coffee table, forming a three-dimensional imaging conical surface.
Through the light blue background, you can see the bay window of the director of the Director of the Jishi City Hall and the director sitting at the desk.

I have to ask you to go to the Rock City later.
No trouble, it is my honor to serve you.Luca said respectfully.
Chu Guang smiled.
After a moment of pause, he restrained his joking expression and continued in a serious tone.
In addition, when you come back from the Stone City with a symbolic friendship agreement, you will be the lord of Dawn City.
Hearing this sentence, Luca was stunned.
The Lord of Dawn City?
Didn’t that mean it was just a title in negotiation?
Luca said in fear and trepidation.
Sir, but I
Knowing what he wanted to say, Chu Guang interrupted him.
OK, I have decided on this matter!I see your abilities, and no one is more suitable for this position than you.
Originally, Luca had been taking care of the farm in Changjiu.
As for origin.
In Chu Guang's opinion, it was not a problem at all.
Rather, this can become a banner of publicity.
In the new alliance, equality is not a slogan.As long as you can prove your ability and loyalty to the alliance, you can become the lord of the settlement even if you are humble.
good.
Chu Guang became more and more satisfied with his arrangements.
When he turned around, he would take time to write a passionate press release and throw it to the people on the Alliance Radio Station for publicity.
Although he was still worried about whether he could be competent for this important task, seeing that the manager chose him so firmly, Old Luca didn't say anything else, but just silently hid his gratitude in his heart.
After a while of calming down his breath, he looked at the manager and said seriously.
Sir... I don't quite understand one thing. Can you please ask me about it.
What's up.
Giant Rock City...Why are they obsessed with the airspace of Qingquan City?Luka had a hint of confusion in her eyes. They obviously didn't take our plane seriously.
That kind of thing that is in your heart cannot be hidden without taking it seriously.
The director of the city hall even used paper planes to describe the Alliance's aircraft.
Although he was angry, Luca had to admit that this arrogance was not without reason.
The aircraft of Giant Rock City may not be enough to see in front of the enterprise, but it was a product of the pre-war era.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the big guy with a sci-fi feel is not the same as the small planes in the new alliance.
It's great that you can think of this.
Looking at the old Luka who was slowly enlightened, Chu Guang nodded in praise. The reason was actually very simple, because you were right, and what they really care about was not airspace at all.
Luca was stunned.
I don't understand what this sentence means.
Chu Guang did not explain immediately, but reached out and pressed it gently on the holographic computer pen.
The city map of Qingquan City was projected into a light blue light cone, and the edge of the third ring line was flashing with several intermittent green dots.
Because Qingquan City Center is their real core of interests.
Variety mucus, evolutions, ancient battlefields, and equipment left over from pre-war eras... One fragment cannot restore the entire puzzle, but countless fragments are piled together, and something useful can always be restored.
A hint of surprise appeared on Luca's face.
If you say so, wouldn't that wave be...
Chu Guang nodded.
For them, it may not be entirely a disaster.
Our researchers have been studying evolutions that last wave spread to the northern suburbs, both at the biological level and at the engineering level.It’s just that we started too late, and even though we had excellent researchers, the progress was still much behind them.
Looking at Luca with a sudden look on his face, Chu Guang said slowly.
Like you said, they don't care about our planes at all because that thing can't even bother them.
Their real purpose is probably to limit our involvement in their treasures.
……
On the other side, the Boulder City Hall.
Du Long, who hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief.
While feeling relieved, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The planes of the new alliance will no longer enter their core area of interests, and the respected city lord will definitely be satisfied with this result.
The LD series weapons are still on the list of restricted imports, and the trade between the two sides will not be affected, and the military industry group will not make any remarks to him.
As for other areas outside of military industry?
What does it have to do with him?
What's more, trade itself is a thing that benefits both sides. It's not a bad thing that can buy cheaper consumer goods and industrial raw materials in Giant Stone City.
In Duroon's view, he just took out a little honey and received results that made everyone happy.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but praise himself in his heart.
I'm such a genius!
In the past, when I looked around, there was no decent opponent in the entire valley province in the south, and the Great Rift Valley in the north was too far away, and everyone looked down on each other.
He sat in the city hall office every day, either stamping or dozing off, and few people took him seriously.
Now there is finally someone who can highlight his intelligence!
At this time, the sound from the side interrupted his thoughts.
Mr. Director.
What's wrong?Looking at his deputy, Yege, Duro, who was in a good mood, said happily.
I don't understand why we talk so much nonsense with a group of scavengers?Yeage had a hint of displeasure on his face, their population was not even as large as ours.
The city was crowded with people who wanted to enter the city.
Even the dirt flowing out of the city is enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
Negotiating this matter with them made him feel unhappy.
Duro guessed what he was thinking and thought about how to answer this question.
Their strength is not as strong as us, but far less weak as we imagined.Do you remember the look of the person just now?
Yeage chuckled.
Can eyes kill people?
Dulong said in a gentle tone.
No, but it is not easy to make them surrender. Is it not good to negotiate and resolve the problem?If we really fight, we will be cannon fodder again.
Moreover, the city lord’s request was to keep their plane away from the Fourth Ring Road in Qingquan City. We not only completed the task, but also exceeded it.
He patted his deputy on the shoulder and continued with a gaze.
Be happy, don't hang your face.
……
Qingquan City, at the edge of the South Third Ring Road.
The slanted sunset lengthens the shadow of the viaduct piers.
As night was about to fall, the chewers wandering in this area gradually became manic and began to become more aggressive.
Shops along the street not far from the viaduct.
Squatting on the edge of the back of the window, paddling, holding an assault rifle in his hand, carefully monitoring the street outside the bunker.
In addition to him, there are nine teammates hidden nearby.
The alien corpses lying all over the street and the dense bullet holes on the wall tell the fierceness of the previous battle.
Four hours ago, he and his team members received the task and walked to the edge of the Third Ring Road in the southern part of Qingquan City to meet the Niuma Squad and his group that had withdrawn from the new map.
After a fierce firefight, they successfully cleared the alien species on the street.
However, as dusk is about to come, more and more alien species are beginning to spread from nearby buildings to the streets. It is hard to say how long the tranquility can last at this moment.
The boy and brick on the construction site holding a machine gun suddenly muttered.
I won't give it to you again for nothing.
When Kakarot happened to hear this sentence, he glared at him.
Less crow's mouth!
The debt-lossed look at the brother on the edge next to him.
How long will it take?
The edge was about to answer when something suddenly came from the intersection.
Everyone's nerves tense up instantly, and the weapon in their hands was aimed at it.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came
It's me, don't get angry.
Looking at the man who appeared at the intersection, he was slightly stunned on the edge of the water, and a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Damn it!?Old Bai?
Why are you like this?
At this moment, Lao Bai's situation can only be described as the word "will be embarrassed".
He was carrying a package wrapped in a parachute in his left hand and a blood-stained rifle in his right hand. Not only did his chemical protective suit disappear, his body was covered with mud, and the bulletproof vest on his chest was even more of a hole that was almost burnt through.
The whole person was like he was rolling out of hell.
Facing everyone's surprised gaze, Lao Bai smiled bitterly.
... Something went wrong.
What's this a little bit?!
Everyone looked at each other.
Let’s not talk about quitting smoking, Lao Bai Fangchang and others are already the ceiling of the full server’s combat power.
What is the situation? Even these guys are so difficult!
Debt was full of debt and swallowed.
...What about the others?
Lao Bai didn't say anything.
At this time, Fang Chang's voice came from behind him.
Dead.
There was a heavy expression on his face, Fang Chang's condition was similar to Lao Bai, and he looked like a dusty face.
He probably lost his rifle, holding a mechanical arm tied to a VM in his right hand, and half of his shoulder was hanging from the bloody interface, which was shocking to look at.
The edge paddling recognizes this guy.
It seems to be the wind's arm...
No matter what, the task is finally completed.
Throwing the bloody package on the ground, Lao Bai raised his arm and rubbed the mud and sweat on his forehead. This thing... please help me carry it, I really have no energy.
What's this thing?
The boy on the construction site and the brick walked forward, curiously uncovered the package and took a look, and found a pile of strange parts and dark red mushroom blocks lying inside.
Many of the fruits exposed the tentacles and were still slowly squirming, just like the beef that had just been cut.
The debris of the evolution body, who knows what it is.
Sitting on the hood of the used car, Fang Chang looked at the fungus blocks fiddled in the hand of the construction site and kindly reminded him.
You'd better not turn over the things in it with your hands... That's how our brothers who quit smoking died.
