Chapter 262: Poem of Life 7: The Little Crybaby Will Cry
After He Feng finished speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked up and saw Eclipse standing in front of them with two glasses of water, looking speechless.
"Hey, you're back?" He Feng looked natural, not at all embarrassed by being caught: "Hurry up and sit down."
[There is nothing wrong with this greeting, but I would have thought this was He Ge’s house.]
[I also want to be as thick-skinned as He Ge, so that I don’t have to worry about being caught when I gossip about others behind their backs. How great it is.]
[Be careful what you say in front of me, don’t get banned, but to be honest, I also want it, and it would be even better if I could be as natural as He Ge. Look at his reaction speed, I’m really envious.]
[I often wonder where He Ge got that unique sense of relaxation from.]
[I translate it, in short: shameless.]
He Feng gave a forced smile and banned everyone from speaking.
It really gives face to these people.
Eclipse sat opposite the two of them. He looked at He Feng's unhappy expression and was a little confused.
He Feng: "Don't worry about it, let's talk about the current situation."
The underground fortress was built five years ago. Before that, it was a small base that was once raided by the mechanical clan. There were only a few survivors left in the base, only a dozen people.
Later, with the help of other bases, the underground fortress was built, and under the leadership of the previous leader, they lived in seclusion, thus saving the last humans.
Eclipse came to power three and a half years ago. He had already been planning the entire destruction operation before he came to power. After he came to power, he brought the entire operation to the surface and named it the Annihilation Plan.
He advocates using machines to fight machines, so he has been researching machines for his own use. His efforts in recent years have yielded initial results.
"Right now, I have a total of 100,000 weapons available." Eclipse narrated calmly: "But compared to the mechanical race, the number is only one twentieth of theirs."
One twentieth, which means there are at least two million mechanical people, and the gap is directly widened.
He Feng also understood why Linglan was so sure that Eclipse would lose. It would be strange if they didn't lose given the gap.
"The most important thing is that the leader of the mechanical race cannot be eliminated." Eclipse hung his head and looked a little dejected: "I killed it five times in total, but it was resurrected every time after I killed it, and I only have one life."
Eclipse's tone sounded very lonely, and he crossed his fingertips with a little uneasiness: "So, I need you to help me find the leader's weakness and prevent it from resurrecting infinitely."
This task is very difficult and dangerous, and Eclipse is not sure whether the two outsiders in front of him will help him.
But this is a rare opportunity. Eclipse waited for five years before finding an outsider who was willing to help them.
What's more, compared to natives like him, outsiders are more powerful. He has seen it before and naturally knows it.
But those powerful ones have always been coming towards them, and Eclipse looked at He Feng and Shen Zishu and decided to take a gamble.
He took a deep breath and said, "Please help me."
His words were like a switch. As soon as he finished speaking, the announcement of the horror game popped up.
"Ding! Players He Feng, Shen Zishu, Sheng Nancheng, Lu Ming, Qi Ruxing, Wei Lou and other players triggered the side quest, and the side quest is now updated!
Player side quest: Kill Linglan or Eclipse.
Player side quest rewards: can ensure that players can clear the dungeon once without any damage. "
Tasks with clear prices and very generous rewards.
He Feng looked at the word "or" in the side quest thoughtfully.
Linglan, the grandson of the former leader of the fortress, is brave, resourceful, and sensible, and is indeed very dangerous.
Eclipse, the new generation leader, is a radical, but he has high military strength and brains, and the annihilation plan he advocates can go straight to the heart of the matter.
So why or?
Why is the mission not "Kill Linglan and Eclipse" but "or"?
He Feng didn't quite understand.
Would there be any effect if these two people killed one of them?
Weird mission.
And Eclipse was a little nervous.
From a long time ago, whenever he said "please help me" to outsiders, those outsiders would suddenly attack him.
Although Eclipse didn't know the reason, he could guess that it should be related to that Go system.
He was able to deal with those outsiders before, but after the fight with He Feng just now, he found that he would most likely lose, and if he lost, he would die.
So there is some tension on eclipse day.
"I don't understand, so I ask." He Feng said seriously, "If I kill one of you and Linglan, will it trigger any effect?"
Faced with this inexplicable question, Eclipse was a little confused. He thought about it for a while and then spoke with uncertainty: "Should be, right?"
He Feng nodded: "Then let's go out and find the leader tomorrow?"
Eclipse was somewhat surprised: "Really?"
"It can't be false." He Feng laughed: "Have you killed all those who tried to kill you?"
"Yes." Eclipse nodded in agreement, not intending to hide anything: "I killed all those outsiders who attacked me and wanted to kill me. Do you want to avenge them?"
"Why should I avenge them?" He Feng was puzzled: "They chose to try it themselves, and finally got the ending they deserved. No one can interfere with this. Besides, what does it have to do with me?"
Eclipse was completely relieved. He looked at He Feng and smiled, "Thank you."
"No need." He Feng stood up and left with Shen Zishu. He waved to Eclipse and said, "I'll come at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Eclipse should have responded with a "hello", but He Feng, who had already walked out of his residence, was unable to hear it clearly.
He did not even lift the ban and directly directed the audience to call Sheng Nancheng back.
At 17:47 in the afternoon, the players set up tables and pots at the initial gathering place.
Fu Shi, who was strolling back with the little crybaby, was obviously a little excited and couldn't wait to start ordering food: "I want to eat hot pot, just tell me if it's okay!"
He Feng, who was preparing to cook hot pot, smiled and said, "We have a good understanding. It is indeed hot pot."
Sheng Nancheng and Fu Shi were overjoyed, and Lu Ming told He Feng the maps he had collected.
"The area we can reach now should only be the periphery." Lu Ming pointed at the map he drew and said, "Someone did this on purpose. It looks like a kind of protection for the players."
He Feng nodded: "Indeed, further inside is an underground city, which is the main body of the fortress. By the way, if anyone of you is free, please call someone over for me."
Ten minutes later, Lu Ming knocked on Linglan's door with the detailed map given by He Feng, and said that He Feng invited Linglan to have dinner together.
Linglan hesitated for a moment and then agreed. He took Lu Ming and took a shortcut back, which took about five minutes.
Lu Ming, who is not bad at finding his way, almost got dizzy, but he was able to remember how to get there.
The spicy hot pot and bone soup pot were already bubbling. When He Feng saw Lu Ming coming back with Ling Lan, he immediately started ordering the meat rolls.
The six people started to eat happily.
Maybe it was because of the spicy hotpot, He Feng always felt that Linglan was in much better condition than in the afternoon. She looked radiant, and her complexion was white and rosy, and she looked very healthy.
It was just like the person who coughed every three steps and was almost dying in the afternoon was not Linglan.
He Feng guessed that perhaps Linglan recovered to this state because she drank the plus version of the healing potion.
It’s also pretty good, and looks much better than that state.
After consuming two bowls of sliced meat, Fu Shi finally spoke. Looking at Ling Lan who was eating with great manners, his heart began to beat violently.
What a beautiful leather.
"What kind of orchid is this?" Fu Shi looked at He Feng and asked, "Can we kill it?"
He Feng smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
Fu Shi understood: "No, forget it."
Sheng Nancheng looked at Linglan and then at his brother, somewhat confused: "So how is the side quest triggered?"
At this point, He Feng remembered Eclipse's tangled look, and he probably knew why. He replied, "I guess the system is afraid of Linglan and Eclipse, and it's mainly set up like this to prevent them from forming an alliance with the players. Probably as long as someone has the tendency to form an alliance with Eclipse, the side quest will automatically refresh."
Sheng Nancheng held the bowl and asked Lu Ming to pick up some food for him. He still didn't understand: "Why not kill them all? Why kill Linglan or Eclipse?"
He Feng didn't quite understand this question. He looked at Linglan, wanting her to answer it.
"Because the so-called horror game system requires two camps to oppose each other." The hot pot was delicious, and Linglan's appetite was aroused. He swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "If Eclipse and I die, the fortress will fall, and humans will no longer exist. The opposing camps will disappear. What can you players participate in?"
Sheng Nancheng seemed to understand something, and then asked, "So why is the team led by Eclipse called 'Poem of Life'?"
Linglan paused, and he tightened his grip on the chopsticks and then loosened it, as if thinking of memories. For a moment he felt a little sad: "Life is such a beautiful thing. It should be cherished, not used or destroyed. This is the meaning of the 'poem of life'."
This sentence sounded familiar. Fu Shi, who buried his head in the bowl again, looked up at Linglan. However, Linglan was still not as attractive to him as the hotpot. Fu Shi immediately threw himself into it again and continued to show off his food.
He Feng also felt that the name sounded familiar. He looked at Linglan and there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes.
The meal was quite hearty. Even Linglan, who didn't eat much, felt full. He slumped in the chair, touching his stomach, not knowing what he was thinking.
He Feng sneaked closer and whispered, "Want to Eclipse the Sun?"
Linglan was shocked and wanted to deny it quickly, but seeing the mockery in He Feng's eyes, she didn't know how to refute.
"Why don't you ask me how my advice went?" He Feng pushed Sheng Nancheng aside and sat next to Ling Lan: "You don't seem to care much about this issue."
Linglan smiled and shook her head: "I already know the ending. You will probably go with him to implement the annihilation plan."
He Feng: "Oh my! Your guess is quite accurate."
Linglan's smile turned into a wry one, and he sighed, "It's good this way. You can accompany him, which is an extra layer of protection."
"Really?" He Feng raised his eyebrows: "Why do I feel like this isn't your end?"
"The end is always ahead." Linglan looked into He Feng's eyes and said, "We will reach it one day."
After that, He Feng didn't ask any more questions, and Linglan didn't say anything. After waiting for a while, Linglan said hello and left.
He Feng and his friends started packing up their things, set up the tent and prepared to chat for a while before going to sleep.
Sheng Nancheng took advantage of the opportunity to approach Fu Shi and asked him the question he had been asking all afternoon: "Handsome guy, would you consider fighting together?"
Fu Shi also gave his answer again: "Don't ask, don't think, there is no other possibility."
Shengnancheng Live Room: Here they come again, these two people start again.
Ever since catching Fu Shi, the little crybaby started lobbying, and he swam for the whole afternoon but failed to get his brother Shi to swim back.
"Let's take a step back." Sheng Nancheng said with a gloomy face: "What if you, Brother Shi, are not on the same side as the Gou system?"
"That won't work." Fu Shi refused: "Xiao Bu and I are already locked in a relationship. I have to kill him even if I die. Do you understand?"
Sheng Nancheng was dissatisfied and quickly said, "Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! What do you mean by death? Don't talk nonsense!"
Fu Shi squatted down to fix the other side of the tent, and Sheng Nancheng consciously went to help Fu Shi press it.
Neither of them spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
"Brother Shi." After two minutes of silence, Sheng Nancheng couldn't help but said, "You have to give me a reason, right?"
Fu Shi said, "What can you do to me if I don't give it to you?"
There is a kind of beauty in broken jars.
He Feng, who had already set up the tent, leaned on Shen Zishu and eavesdropped openly. He couldn't help but cry on behalf of the little crybaby.
"Don't even mention eight horses, even eight hundred horses can't pull Shishi back. Why doesn't the crybaby understand?" He Feng said puzzledly: "It seems that the crybaby will leave crying today."
Fu Shi and Sheng Nancheng were still continuing their meaningless conversation. Sheng Nancheng started to play the victim. He sat on the ground, holding Fu Shi's legs tightly and howling heartbreakingly.
"Crybaby, I've killed at least 800 people, if not 1,000. I'm no longer your Brother Shi." Fu Shi stated this fact with a gloomy expression: "Don't you understand? I have been in cahoots with the horror game system for a long time."
Sheng Nancheng pouted: "Then you can regret it, or you can come with me."
Fu Shi sighed, patted the little crybaby on the head, and asked a very strange question: "You shouldn't die now, right?"
“Believe it or not, I will die right now in front of you!” Sheng Nancheng burst into tears: “Why is it so difficult to get you to give up evil and join the light? Wuuuuuuuuuuu!!”
Hearing the familiar mooing of a cow that he hadn't heard for a long time, He Feng was satisfied. He humbly bowed to the barrage and said, "It's nothing, I just know that the little crybaby will cry."
Sheng Nancheng cried even louder, and as a way of venting his anger he wiped his tears and snot all over Fu Shi's pants.
Fu Shi laughed at his cheating look, and recalled that when they were young, not only Sheng Nancheng, but other children would also act like this to him, asking him not to work so hard.
The little guy who once said to Shi Ge, we can work too has grown up. Now he is hanging on his legs and crying, saying, Shi Ge, come back if you have the guts.
Fu Shi patted Sheng Nancheng's head again and said sorry in his heart.
