As Alex spoke, he staggered back and kicked a bottle on the ground. The bottle was empty, and it fell down and rolled to Bai Liu’s feet.
Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked over, and saw in neat writing on the bottle – [Medicine to Reactivate Cells of Dead Organisms (Animal Experimental Version, Do Not Use on Humans)].
[Developed by: Alex Brown]
Bai Liu moved his eyes, and saw several empty bottles scattered behind Alex. He then calmly looked at the corpses around him.
The fragmented upper limbs, half of a head with the brain exposed, and a calf whose tendons were broken by the explosion, all aimed their fractures at Bai Liu at an eerie angle.
In the dim tent, these bloody fractures seemed to be the eyes of these limbs. They were using their rotten eyes to greedily stare at Bai Liu, the uninvited guest with intact limbs.
It’s as if…these fragments of corpses have evolved independent consciousness.
[System prompt: Congratulations to player Bai Liu for unlocking the “Dense Forest Border” monster book – half-dead corpse]
[Players can earn one point by collecting and subduing a half-dead corpse piece. The player with the highest total points within seven days wins]
It seems that these are the body parts that the game asked them to collect.And the creator of these corpses… Bai Liu slowly raised his eyes to look at Alex, who was still collapsed, kneeling on the ground. He could feel a sway of position caused by tremendous pain in this NPC.
This should be a central plot point that determines whether Alex defects or not.
Bai Liu didn’t get up and let the corpses squirm closer to him. He stayed crouched and looked at Alex: “You think Guy did something wrong, but do you think these corpses did the right thing?”
Alex held his head and howled in pain. He did not answer Bai Liu’s words, but the wavering and confusion in his eyes already showed his answer – he felt that what these people did was not right either.
Bai Liu glanced at the corpses on the ground and said meaningfully: “Guy told you that war is like this. In war, everyone is a corpse without emotion.”
“I think your idea before was quite good. If a corpse could come back to life to fight, no one would be harmed.” Bai Liu sighed regretfully, “But this is simply impossible.”
Alex paused.
After saying that, Bai Liu patted Alex’s shoulder, who was motionless after hearing these words: “Get a good rest, there will be a big battle tomorrow, and we don’t know how many fresh corpses will be produced. We will be busy.”
Bai Liu stood up and pulled Spades, whose eyes were almost glued to the corpses, out of Alex’s tent and back to their own tent.
Spades looked at Bai Liu: “You are baiting Alex to switch camps.”
“That’s not entirely the case.” After Bai Liu entered the tent, he took off his military uniform coat stained with dirt and hung it on the wall. He then laid on the camp bed and turned his head to look at Spades with a smile. “Changing camps will not be beneficial to us. If Alex switches to the enemy’s side and we defect after him, the enemy’s acceptance of us rebels will definitely not be as high as that of The Judge and others who defected from the beginning.”
“To put it simply, if Alex defects, our chances of winning won’t be as high as those of The Judge.” Bai Liu opened his eyes and looked at Spades with a half-smile, “In this case, The Judge and the others have a high probability of winning over you.”
As soon as he heard about winning or losing, Spades concentrated instantly. He undressed as he sat on the edge of the bed close to Bai Liu: “How are we going to beat them?”
Bai Liu calmly retreated a little further onto the bed: “The game only gives two options, one’s own camp and the enemy’s camp. Judging from the current direction, whether it’s Alex staying in his own camp or mutinying to the enemy, we have to become a weapon of war if we want to win. By spending huge amounts of labor to slaughter and create corpses for Alex to transform.”
“Personally, I don’t like this cost-effective way of winning by comparing the panel value of both sides. Moreover, we couldn’t beat them in terms of comprehensive panel value.”
Spades interrupted Bai Liu: “It’s comparable. My board value is higher than the other three people except The Judge combined.”
Bai Liu was quiet for a moment and raised his eyebrows in surprise: “What’s your panel value data?”
Spades reported a string of numbers seriously, and then said: “The panel value of The Judge is confidential, I don’t know it, but it shouldn’t be higher than mine.”
Bai Liu fell into an eerie silence – no wonder The Judge wants to suppress Spades’ momentum…
With this ridiculously high panel value data, if he wasn’t suppressed and doesn’t obey orders, he’s equivalent to a super wrecking ball. He would make the situation extremely chaotic and the outcome couldn’t be seen clearly. When he plays in the league, nine other people are needed to beat him. Not even one person is able to beat him.
“I heard rumors from the outside world, and I only knew that your panel was worth over 10,000, but I didn’t expect it to be so much more,” Bai Liu said.
Spades replied: “I broke 10,000 when I first played last year. Later, my teammates asked me to keep it secret at the beginning of the league, saying that the panel value was too outstanding and could easily be targeted.”
Bai Liu continued: “But even if your board value is high, it’s only a personal advantage. In this game, The Judge and the others made a good first move, entering the enemy’s army and taking advantage of the camp. Even if we rebel again, we will still be fighting for the corpses. At that time, their advantage will still be far superior to ours.”
“So I’m thinking.” Bai Liu smiled, “In order to dissolve their camp advantage, we can induce a third camp option.”
Spades frowned: “The third camp, whose camp is it?”
Bai Liu replied: “Alex’s personal camp.”
At midnight.
Spades, who was lying defenselessly next to Bai Liu, held Bai Liu’s waist and slept deeply.
Bai Liu very gently moved away from Spades’ arms and legs, and crawled out of the bed to the outside of the camp.
He quietly walked into Alex’s tent. Alex was still sitting on the ground, looking exactly the same as before Bai Liu left, like he hadn’t changed his position for several hours.
Alex seemed to notice Bai Liu coming in, but he did not raise his head and just said in a hoarse voice: “The war will start in three hours. Don’t try to persuade me. Go back and have a good sleep.”
“You have joined the second commando team. In three hours, you and Guy will stand on the battlefield and fight each other.” Bai Liu turned on the dim lamp and looked down at Alex, “Do you want to see him one last time before you point a gun at each other?”
Alex slowly raised his head. A trace of hope overflowed from his originally dull eyes, but it was quickly extinguished: “Soldiers caught associating with the enemy before the start of a major battle will be tortured. Don’t risk it for me, Bai Liu.”
“But there is a place where your meeting is justified and you won’t be tortured.” Bai Liu smiled softly, “The neutral Red Cross Rescue Society, where wounded soldiers can seek help.”
Alex’s eyes suddenly lit up again: “But to go to the Red Cross, you need someone to guarantee admission. Do you know the people there?”
Bai Liu smiled: “Yes, I have someone I know who can guarantee your entry now.”
The Red Cross aid yard is brightly lit.
This borderless, neutral medical organization, whose main purpose was rescue, was stationed in camps on both sides, as well as at the warring border.
After Bai Liu reported his location to Liu Jiayi, Alex shot himself twice in the leg without hesitation.
Soon the Red Cross car stumbled in and took away Alex, who had an injury on his leg.
Bai Liu went up with the car. The people in the car were very friendly to Bai Liu and asked him with a smile: “Are you Jiayi’s brother? She thought you were injured and asked us to come quickly, so we rushed over. You guys look really alike.”
In the eyes of these people, the faces of the two Asians, Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu, were undoubtedly similar.
“Hey, your sister is such an outstanding little girl.” The people in the car seemed to have a particular liking for Liu Jiayi and rushed to talk to Bai Liu about her. “She is very good at treating people. We can’t believe that such a young child could be so skilled. Treating battle injuries and heavy bleeding, she can do things alone that more than a dozen adults couldn’t.”
“She saved dozens of people in just two days.”
“Have you considered sending her to a medical university after the war?” A group of people hinted at Bai Liu frantically, “I remember that after joining the war, you had a place to go to a top university, have you considered giving it to Jiayi??”
Bai Liu smiled and replied: “But she is only nine years old.”
This group of people retorted fiercely: “It has nothing to do with age. Jiayi is fully capable of going to a top university for further studies. She is a little genius!”
It seems that within two days, Liu Jiayi had completely increased the favorability of the NPCs in the Red Cross Society.
This made it extremely convenient for Bai Liu. They drove directly into the Red Cross camp. When Bai Liu jumped out of the back of the truck, he saw Liu Jiayi trotting towards him.
Liu Jiayi was wearing a nurse’s uniform that didn’t fit well, with a small nurse’s cap on her head, blood-stained white gloves on her hands, and a palm-sized Red Cross logo on her sleeves that fluttered as she ran.
She was trotting this way through the intertwined chains of stretchers with a serious look on her face, giving instructions as she ran.
The people here surprisingly listened to her words. As long as she said where to send it, the people carrying the stretcher would immediately send it to that place in the tent.
Liu Jiayi seems to be a very influential figure here.
When she ran up to Bai Liu, Bai Liu smiled and teased: “You’re doing well.”
Liu Jiayi took off her gloves angrily and threw them into the medical trash can: “Could you have delayed any more? You’re dragging out this camp game until just before the big battle with the intention of changing sides. I almost defected to your side with the entire Red Cross.”
“But you hadn’t given instructions yet, so I held my position.” Liu Jiayi shook the talcum powder from her hands and said seriously, “You didn’t contact me yesterday, so I knew you had other ideas about this game. As a neutral voluntary organization, the Red Cross can help you switch camps. Which side are you going to join now?”
Bai Liu smiled: “A third party.”
Liu Jiayi reacted very quickly: “You want to form your own party? With the main line NPCs and corpses as the core?”
Bai Liu nodded.
Liu Jiayi frowned and thought for a moment: “The corpses don’t need to be rescued, so the Red Cross will be useless to you. I want to get out of here as soon as possible.”
“Oh, by the way, the difficult part of this game is not the camps.” Liu Jiayi raised her head, “I think you also know, it’s the Killer Sequence players in a different camp than you.”
She was a little worried: “Even if The Judge and Spades seem to be targeting each other in this game, no matter which side they are, they aren’t something we can compete with now. After all, they are last year’s championship team, and their overall quality is too far off.”
“Essentially, the two camps that really determine the outcome of this game are Spades and the Judge. We are just a small addition.”
“I know.” Bai Liu smiled, “So I just need to make Spades and The Judge think that they and I are in the same camp, isn’t that enough?”
“That way no matter which side wins, I win.”
Liu Jiayi was startled. She quickly understood what Bai Liu wanted to do, and couldn’t help but “==”: “Are you going to play double agent again?”
Bai Liu smiled and hummed.
Liu Jiayi frowned: “But Spades and The Judge are not slouches. How do you make the other party believe that you and them are in the same camp?”
Bai Liu lowered his eyes: “Of course, it’s my sincerity.”
Liu Jiayi: “…”
Don’t make bad jokes to me at this time!
“The Judge and the others, as well as the main NPC Guy, should be at the Red Cross now, right?” Bai Liu changed the topic.
Liu Jiayi nodded: “Well, because it was the eve of the war, The Judge and the others came to contact the Red Cross. I just triggered the main NPC Guy. He was injured and was sent here for treatment.”
Bai Liu looked at Liu Jiayi: “Did they recognize you as a player?”
“I was recognized…..” Liu Jiayi was confused, “But The Judge and the others generally have a good attitude towards me. They seem to regard me as an ordinary NPC with rescue functions, and they even traded points with me for antidotes twice.”
Liu Jiayi: “The NPCs here cannot be saved with antidotes, but players can. The Judge and the others took the initiative to buy antidotes from me, and I gave them to them.”
After thinking deeply, she replied: “They have no hostility toward us. Their purpose is very clear. They just want to win over spades.”
“To put it bluntly, they just want Spades to lose.” Bai Liu curled his lips, “We are quite consistent on this point.”
Liu Jiayi looked up at Bai Liu: “I feel like you have already figured out how to persuade The Judge. What about Spades? He doesn’t look like someone who is easy to persuade.”
“Spades’ side…” Bai Liu paused slightly strangely, “It’s taken care of. He completely believes that he and I are on the same camp.”
Liu Jiayi was shocked: “You guys had a fierce fight in the last dungeon, how did you convince him to believe in you wholeheartedly?!”
Bai Liu looked away imperceptibly: “I used some special means.”
Liu Jiayi walked around suspiciously and continued to face Bai Liu: “Why don’t you dare to look me in the face and say this? You never feel guilty when you do immoral things. What did you do to Spades that makes you feel so guilty?”
Bai Liu: “…”
Children who are too perceptive are really not a good thing for dirty adults.
When Bai Liu didn’t answer, Liu Jiayi raised her eyebrows: “I won’t force you to tell me, but I will always know.”
“But forget it now, the war is about to start, and there isn’t much time.” Liu Jiayi waved her hand, “I’ll take you to see The Judge and the others.”
Bai Liu followed Liu Jiayi and asked, “Isn’t it a bit too urgent for The Judge and the others to contact the Red Cross at this time?”
“You have the nerve to talk about others.” Liu Jiayi was speechless, “Aren’t you the same?”
Bai Liu: “I’m waiting for the key plot points.”
Liu Jiayi walked forward without looking back: “The same goes for them. People on the indigenous side don’t believe in the Red Cross people. They feel that the Red Cross and the other camp are on the same side, and have always refused our help. We are not allowed to help shelter their wives and children.”
“But the Red Cross was actually safer than the neutral indigenous village where they were hosting them.”
Bai Liu instantly understood: “But last night’s raid made the natives realize that neutral villages are not safe, so they began to consider the Red Cross. As rebels, The Judge and the others have no communication and understanding barriers with the people here. So they were sent over to communicate, right?”
“It’s not just that.” Liu Jiayi looked back at Bai Liu, “The Judge is more capable than you think. I don’t know what he did, but he is now the commander of the indigenous people, the top strategic officer. Today he came to the Red Cross to contact us, and he also came here as a commander to resettle harmless women and children.”
“In two days, from a rebel to a commander?” Bai Liu raised his eyebrows.
Liu Jiayi paused: “Yes.”
“Anyway, this guy gives me an uncomfortable feeling… He looks harmless and has a smiling face, but in fact he knows everything.”
“But if The Judge is the commander, it should be a very simple matter for him to come over to arrange for the placement of women and children. He shouldn’t stay here until the war, but return to the camp.” Bai Liu thought for a moment and asked, “What happened?”
“Yes.” Liu Jiayi said, “There are also factions among the indigenous people. Some of them are emerging indigenous people led by the new commander, The Judge. The indigenous people of this party are willing to accept many new things and hope to use the victory of the war as a basis for development and growth.”
“Most of the top leaders of this party had good relations with the factory director who was shot dead before, and received assistance and ideological enlightenment from him.”
“There are also some old indigenous people who are highly hostile to everything new. They believe in a religion preached by Arabs. I heard it is the religion of some evil god. They yearn for traditional farming life and reject all mechanical production tools. They feel as though it’s blasphemy against the hands God had given them to work with.”
Liu Jiayi turned to look at Bai Liu: “You’ve probably guessed that the leader of this indigenous party is the old commander, the one who shot and killed the factory director and started the war.”
“There are irreconcilable conflicts between the old and new parties. Currently, the new party has the upper hand, but the old party is always unwilling to let the new party take power and causes all kinds of troubles.”
“For example, today The Judge actually arranged for these women and children to be resettled a few hours ago, but a group of people from the old school suddenly came over and frantically stopped The Judge’s actions, saying that The Judge was a traitor and an undercover agent. Not trying to protect these offspring and wives, but to sacrifice them to the enemy to obtain greater rewards.”
Liu Jiayi led Bai Liu to a tent and raised her chin: “They are right here. They should still be arguing. Do you want me to go in with you?”
There was a faint quarrel in the tent.
Bai Liu shook his head.
Liu Jiayi nodded in understanding and threw a bottle of antidote to Bai Liu: “Your weapon was destroyed. If there is any movement, scream. I will guard outside.”
After saying that, Liu Jiayi, who was wearing a nurse’s uniform, took out a bottle of poison spray, hid it on the side of the tent, and gave an OK gesture to Bai Liu who was about to enter.
Bai Liu returned an OK gesture, then opened the curtain and walked in calmly.
Both parties who were arguing went silent. The one standing on the left was The Judge and his group, and the one on the right was a group wearing eagle feather hats, animal skins on their shoulders and backs, and oil paint on their faces. The faces of this group were fierce. Their exposed teeth were slightly sharp, probably because they had the habit of tearing large pieces of meat.
When they saw Bai Liu come in, this group of traditional natives were about to bear their teeth at Bai Liu, but they were stopped by the leader. He stared at Bai Liu for a long time and said in a very strange tone: “He is the one who is favored by the true God. Don’t offend him.”
Then he saluted Bai Liu, bowed and withdrew politely.
The emotion in Bai Liu’s eyes was unclear, but he quickly restrained himself. He looked at The Judge: “It seems that I have disturbed your conversation.”
“No, no, no, you saved me.” The Judge rubbed his forehead, sat tiredly on the chair and breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked at Bai Liu with a smile and stretched out his hand, “I have been arguing with them for two hours. Once you came, they were willing to take a break and let me go for now.”
Bai Liu lowered his eyes, extended his hand and shook The Judge’s hand: “First time meeting you, Bai Liu.”
The Judge smiled: “The tactician of the Killer Sequence. Just call me The Judge.”
The Judge gestured for Bai Liu to take a seat: “You have something to talk to me about, right?”
Bai Liu sat down, raised his eyes and smiled: “Yes, I want to talk to you about how to make Spades lose this game.”
The Judge, who had been slumped in the chair, slowly sat upright. He waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately withdrew. Only three other members of the Killer Sequence, Bai Liu and The Judge who were sitting on the chairs were left in the tent.
Bai Liu said calmly: “I have a way to make Spades lose to you miserably in this game.”
The Judge and the three members of the Killer Sequence stared at Bai Liu with very surprised eyes. After a while, The Judge asked expectantly: “Tell me more specifically.”
“I can lure Spades to a certain place on the battlefield and cooperate with you to attack him from both front and back. He trusts me more and won’t be too wary of me, so the success rate of this plan is relatively high…” Bai Liu related.
“Stop.” Standing behind The Judge, a young man who looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old raised his hand and made a “stop” gesture. Then he looked at Bai Liu and asked sternly, “Spades will not listen to anything at all. If so, there will be problems with your plan from the beginning.”
The Judge turned around and hit the young man as if he was angry: “Why are you talking to other players like this? Don’t you know how to be polite? Introduce yourself first.”
The young man paused stiffly: “Member of the Killer Sequence Team, control position, Bai Jiamu.”
The Judge raised his hand and apologized sheepishly: “I’m sorry, go on.”
Bai Jiamu interrupted Nishen’s words simply: “But there is no way he can control Spades. Spades doesn’t even care about us…”
“It may not be possible to reach the level of control.” Bai Liu raised his head with a smile, “But influencing him at this level should be fine.”
The Judge first apologized for his team members, but changed the topic and asked with a smile: “Mr Bai Liu, you said that Spades would trust you. Is there any objective basis worthy of reference?”
Bai Liu said calmly: “Oh, that’s right, I married him yesterday.”
The Judge: “…”
Bai Jiamu: “…”
Other Killer Sequence members: “…”
