Chapter 290: Dense Forest Borderland
It's not a good idea to play bullshit with a player with 91 IQ.
Bai Liu only paused for less than three seconds before choosing to tell Liu Jiayi the whole story.
Liu Jiayi: "......"
Liu Jiayi let out a cold laugh, as a subordinate team member who had seen and suffered from Heart's fondness for Spades' kind of gesture, she keenly sensed Bai Liu's wrongness, "So you simply married him? That's not your usual practice, do you have something in mind for Spades ......"
Bai Liu calmly interrupted Liu Jiayi's words, diverted the topic: "There are less than three hours before the big battle will begin, this is an important plot point, the Against God side I've already set up, Tang Er hit in the second team of the assault will be in the big battle and he will meet with him, try to control the casualties of the Against God's side to the minimum. "
"On your side, I need you to heal Guy as soon as possible so he can go to war."
Liu Jiayi lightly stared at Bai Liu for a moment, before mercifully choosing to follow his words and skim over that topic.
She nodded her head to show that she understood, "Because he's a mainline NPC, he can't be missing key points of the plot, or else there will be problems with the plot advancement, I'll try to find a way to make him wake up and maintain his basic mobility."
Bai Liu looked to Alex who was leaning on the bedside: "I will take Alex back, both sides will be firing like crazy next time, you have to take care of yourself here in the Red Cross."
"Nor is the Red Cross a completely neutral and safe place in the eyes of those who don't play by the rules." Bai Liu reminded gently, "In an over-aggressive strife, unless there is a long geographical separation, there is no such thing as a completely neutral place, and any strip of land can be caught up in it."
Liu Jiayi quirked his brow, "You mean those natives who were just about to do something to Guy at the Red Cross?"
Bai Liu shook his head, "Not really."
He gazed calmly at Liu Jiayi : "I mean all those who took sides in the war."
The night will be bright.
In the damp, dark jungle, the armored vehicles in front of them lined up to flatten the road and the vines, making it easier for the tracked tanks behind them to move forward.
Dozens of heavy guns, their disassembled parts falling heavily on the towing hooks at the back of these armored vehicles, were pulled along for transport, their muzzles looming eerily.
The soldiers moved forward in a silent and orderly manner, holding up their engineer shovels, occasionally clearing away some of the branches and leaves that had caught the tires.
The jungle floor after a rainstorm had an indescribable sticky feet, the marching speed was not fast, but thanks to the experience of a year and a half long war, everyone had long been accustomed to walking in the rainforest of such terrain, and there were no major changes.
Tang Er fought wearing a steel helmet and holding up his assigned firearm next to the battered armored car, controlling his eyes not to look at the Spades next to him who stared at him expressionlessly for a long time.
The man had been staring at him with a [you must be hiding something from me] look all the way through, but Tang Er hit was patient and hadn't struck up a conversation.
And Spades wouldn't ask, just looked at him slyly, without making a sound, and now and then Spades would raise his gun for a moment to adjust it, with the muzzle pointed toward him.
Tang Er typed: "......"
Isn't Spades on the sweeper team? Why did he get promoted to Assault 2?
The reason why Spades suddenly became a Raider II goes back to the early hours of this morning to make sense of it.
Assault Two was still chaotic and less crowded when the marching party assembled before departure because of the commander's sudden mixed orders.
When the members of Raid 1 came to get Alex, who had already signed up for Raid 2, to go to the rendezvous, they didn't find him in the tent in person.
Desertion is punishable by law, but looking at a tent of dead bodies of their comrades from Assault Team 1 carried back by Alex, these people really couldn't do anything to report Alex as a deserter.
Alex experienced two big changes in one night, how the mood is for the time being, it is likely that he is also injured, at this time even if he is strong enough to go up, it is estimated that he has no combat power.
In the heat of the moment, they dragged away the only nearby, is sitting on the bed motionless looking at the other side of the empty bed Spades filling.
Originally, Spades was not very submissive, and these people were bluffing him with their nonsense. I don't know who said that Bai Liu was also there, and Spades paused, looked at the person who said that, and then very cooperatively followed him.
But Bai Liu wasn't there at all.
Spades, after looking around, stared at the soldier who had said Bai Liu was coming, his face was expressionless and his tone was light, but it looked inexplicably oozy: "Bai Liu isn't here."
The soldier was scared and said, "Why don't you ask Tang Er to fight, he and Bai Liu have a good relationship, if Bai Liu came here, he must know where Bai Liu is.
So Spades stares Tang Er down all the way, and Tang Er feels like his back is being stared through.
But between Spades also didn't know what he was fighting about, and kept his lips pursed tightly without opening his mouth, so Tang Er hit didn't really know why he was being targeted - he really couldn't figure out the brain circuits of this league's number one player.
It was not until a break in the march that Tang Er glanced twice at Spades, who was sitting next to him with his head down eating a pie, and he deliberated long enough to tentatively open his mouth, "...... Bai Liu isn't with you?"
Spades replied in seconds, "You spoke first, you lost."
Tang Er hit his head full of question marks: "......?!!!? What?"
Spades gave Tang Er a cold sweeping glance, "You were just competing with me to see who would speak first, you spoke first, you lost."
Tang Er typed: "......"
He did just want to hold his breath and wait for Spades to speak first, so as to take the first strike, how did it turn into a big competition in this person's mouth that whoever opens his mouth first will lose?
Tang Er 打理解不能,但他还是勉强保持了镇定,决定顺从这人的话往下说:"算我输, Bai Liu 怎么没跟你......"
Spades cut him off, emphasizing, "You just lost."
Tang Er typed: "......"
Tang Er hit a handful of face, took a deep breath: "Okay, I lost, Bai Liu?"
Spades cradled the gun leaning on his shoulder, one eye peeking out from the edge of the barrel, staring straight at Tang Er typing, "Someone told me he was halfway to bed with me last night and ran off with you."
The soldiers who were eavesdropping on the gossip nearby gasped in shock.
Tang Er typed: "......"
How on earth did you come to that conclusion!
Tang Er hit his forehead helplessly, "Bai Liu didn't run with me, I've been training since last night and haven't seen him."
Spades lowered his eyelashes and hugged his gun oh-so-slightly, "Then Bai Liu should have run off with Alex, he's been so focused on Alex since Guy's accident."
"He seems to enjoy focusing on this fighting force of a recently dead subject." Spades says calmly, "He also hugged Alex, who fully embraced Bai Liu's pacification and ran off with him betraying his own camp."
I don't know why I feel like I have been connoted to Tang Er hit: "......"
The soldier next to him, who was drinking water, choked in horror - wasn't Alex a couple with Guy!
I didn't realize that Bai Liu, that young man who looks so light on the outside, is actually so heavy-handed in the back, that he actually likes widowed husbands!
Is this a special hobby of the traditional eastern emperors!
After a short rest, the whole party began to move forward again, the mud became more and more slippery, and the puddles on the ground became denser, along with small, unformed streams and riverbeds that had become waterlogged.
The heavy armor and tanks could no longer move forward and it was decided to stay put, with the soldiers filling the nearby riverbed while the men of Assault II continued to march forward.
"The general plan is for us to arrive near the Pluto Lakes, ambush and clear the lake of boats and fire points to prevent them from spreading around the rainforest in their boats to stockpile combat power, circle around and attack, and then pound them with artillery fire on this side."
Tang Er fights as he walks away and explains to Spades next to him, "They don't have the same heavy forces as this side, and this time the commanders have put in a lot of blood-thousands of guns and over 200,000 shells to be fired in their entirety by 10:00 a.m."
"This rainforest will all be blown to rubble, burning a big hole." Tang Er hit tasted a bit of blood in the air, he looked cold and solemn, "The resources have all been destroyed by pollution, he simply does not intend to let the surrounding residents still be able to continue to survive here by the rainforest, and the subsequent consumption of all can consume each other to death."
Although it's just a game, Tang Er fights instinctively not liking where this is going, it reminds him of something that has happened, something bad.
Tang Er hit didn't hold back a mocking comment, "Originally the war was started to compete for the resources here, but in the end, they preferred to destroy it rather than allow the original natives here to continue enjoying it."
This kind of carelessness in destroying what he can't have reminds Tang Er of a very familiar person - Bai Liu.
This guy is still doing things for profit early on, but the later it gets, it's as if he's got an excess of profit, and his endless, black-hole-like desire for money overflows into a kind of boredom that borders on laziness after it's been satisfied.
Bai Liu begins to indulge in new pastimes and amusements. He begins to enjoy exciting games that put his life on the line, chasing victories and collecting people's soul bills - money in another sense.
But then again, victory couldn't satisfy him anymore.
Bai Liu began to delight in revealing flaws, erecting rivals for himself, and even consciously or unconsciously letting his hand get out of control-
--and then sort them out.
Tang Er fought as a qualified toy that hadn't gotten tired of being toyed with by Bai Liu for more than three hundred world lines, he understood too well how bad this person really was.
Mu Sicheng, Liu Jiayi, the Joker, even Mu Ke, and by the later world lines, Bai Liu kills one or two of his own men in almost every world line, all for the reason that they betrayed him or lost control of themselves and no longer fully obeyed him.
But for the likes of Bai Liu, whether or not the other person will betray them doesn't depend on the other person at all.
Rather, it depends on Bai Liu's willingness to give these people the opportunity to betray.
Bai Liu As the only believer recognized by the Evil God, this man, if he had bones, a heart, any human-like structure, should have been dug up rotting and blackened and smelling of disgusting money.
This war, the whole journey is really too much like Bai Liu's handiwork.
The conflict between the two sides should not have erupted so early.
Had it not been for the death of that plant manager, this strife in which so many people had died might have had a more conciliatory solution under the leadership of that plant manager, especially if that plant manager had already accomplished quite a bit.
But it just so happened that this key person died tragically, and all the conflicts were rolled into a bigger dead end, and all the possibilities for peaceful development were cut off.
Tang Er beat his mind up for a few moments, then stabilized again as they made their way to the edge of the lake and put on their wetsuits to go down.
Before going into the water, a seasoned veteran warned, "Watch out, there may be a lot of boa constrictors in the lake here; the traditional natives of this area believe in a horrible cult of evil gods and like to keep reptiles."
"That plant manager is also said to have been struck down by these traditional natives as well, following the instructions of the evil gods."
Tang Er hit's pupils shrunk as he jerked forward and grabbed the soldier, "How did you say that factory manager died?"
The soldier was startled, but returned Tang Er's typed words, "-I have heard that it is the evil gods that these natives believe in that have sent down the oracle."
"-to brutally execute the plant manager."
