Chapter 41 Huaning TV Station 1
Ling Changye: "The first purpose of our assault team is to clear the game. This is our primary task. Everything else will come second."
Xia Bai heard Hua Haoming mention this in the Heping Medical College copy. According to Hua Haoming, human lives should be put second.
It is understandable that each department of the Tourism Administration has different responsibilities. There is a rescue team to save people, and the assault team was established from the beginning to clear the game, and everything serves the purpose of clearing the game.
But in practice in the game, it is inevitable that it will be cold-blooded and inhumane, which may be one of the reasons why the assault team has mixed reputations outside.
Ling Changye specifically told him again that it might be because he saw some of his behaviors in the game that were inconsistent with the purpose of the assault team.
Xia Bai had a blank face, "Oh."
Do more good deeds to save people and leave a good impression on others. It would be more convenient for him to sign a contract with a corpse. At worst, he could use more near-death and intimidation tactics in the future. Anyway, he already has a corpse that is quite intimidating.
Ling Changye glanced at him and pulled him into a group called [Bow and Arrow].
Yang Mei had been holding his phone, as if waiting for this moment. As soon as Xia Bai entered the group, he sent a welcome emoticon of his own.
Then the group was flooded with emoticons. At first glance, almost all of them were either Erwa’s or Yang Mei’s emoticons.
“…”
He knew where Ling Changye's emoticon came from.
Xia Bai was collecting emoticons while watching. It seemed that the people in this group could not type or speak. They communicated with emoticons. Even [Wow, there haven't been new people in the group for a long time. Welcome Xia Bai] was on an emoticon with raised eyebrows, chin, and winking.
Xia Bai followed the local customs and searched for the method of making emoticons with a blank face. To make emoticons, you need pictures first. He didn't have photos of Erwa and Yang Mei. The most available photos on his phone were the gods of joy and the little dog in the village cemetery. But when he took pictures of the little dog, the grave was exposed, just for his personal preference.
Besides, they all posted pictures of Erwa and Yang Mei, so it wasn’t appropriate for me to post a picture of a dog.
After thinking about it, Xia Bai used his own.
Lin Xiang took several photos of him in a daze and sent them to him.
Xia Bai: [Thanks.jpg]
Next is a string of [stolen] emoticons.
“…”
In addition to this group, Xia Bai also added two people who applied to add him as a friend.
The Information Department was very quick. Ten minutes after Xia Bai became a member of the assault team, they arranged a life assistant and a gaming work assistant for him.
They took the initiative to add Xia Bai and created a group with Xia Bai, named [Xia Bai].
Song Lu: [Mr. Xia, I am your exclusive life assistant. You can tell me if you have any life needs in the future. In addition to me, the assault team also has a service team. You can also contact them to serve you.]
Song Shi: [Mr. Xia, I am your work assistant, responsible for coordinating and arranging all your work related to the game. If you have any needs, you can tell me and I will arrange it for you.]
Xia Bai was confused. He could understand a work assistant, but why was there also a life assistant?
Xia Bai asked the three people: "Does the assault team also have a life service team?"
Yang Mei: "Yes, there is a service team of 50 people. Their service is very good. Once I wanted to listen to a concert, and they called a singer to the hotel to sing for me. The scene was very dreamy."
Xia Bai: “…”
Xia Bai wondered what his life assistant could do.
Song Lu: [I have bought a house for you near Heping Medical College, but it is not as good as your dormitory. It is one of the safest places in Jiangqi City, but fortunately it is spacious and comfortable.]
Song Lu: [The car is ready, a sedan for daily use, a nanny car, do we still need an off-road vehicle?]
Xia Baidai.
Song Lu: [Does your hometown need renovation?]
Xia Bai: [You’ve already bought me a house, can I still renovate my old home?]
Song Lu: [I can buy you another set.]
Xia Bai was silent.
Hua Haoming understood it at a glance. He knew that Xia Bai still did not have a clear understanding of him.
He said: "Xia Bai, after the advent of the game, the social power and wealth structure has changed greatly. You are a player with soul skills, and you are already at the top of the new structure. You are also willing to join the assault team, that is, people who are ready to sacrifice for our country at any time."
Xia Bai thought about it and understood that the game has changed a lot. Skilled players have become a new group of strong players. They can also join the assault team and are ready to become martyrs at any time. They deserve the best treatment.
However, this change was too fast for him. Before, he was the kind of person who saved up his tuition and was reluctant to even buy supplies. Even if he had the skills, he thought he would just be a small corpse collector in the game.
Before he joined the assault team, he never thought he would receive such good treatment. He just wanted to use his status as a member of the assault team to find the God of Joy and his grandfather's past.
Ling Changye: "I'll give you a period of adjustment. You are not suitable to frequently enter the game with the other members, nor are you suitable to be noticed. I will tell them not to disclose your identity as a member of the assault team for now."
Xia Bai nodded, "I also want to finish my volunteer work first."
Ling Changye agreed, "But you can do some of the team's work."
When Hua Haoming heard him say this, he suddenly looked at Xia Bai with sympathy.
Xia Bai was curious: "What job?"
Ling Changye: "Taking care of the baby."
Xia Bai: “……?”
Taking care of the baby, then it can only be the second baby? Xia Bai said: "If I go to do rescue work, the second baby will be scared, right?"
Frequently encounter bloody scenes.
Ling Changye: "You can take care of the second baby later, you can take care of the eldest baby first."
Xia Bai was at a loss: "Who is Da Wa?"
Isn't Erwa named this because his mother was once pregnant with another child? Didn't that child die?
Yang Mei smiled with her eyes narrowed into crescents, leaning over and saying, "It's me."
Xia Bai: “…”
Xia Bai took a step back, "Shouldn't I be more low-key?"
How can I keep a low profile with this person?
Yang Mei didn't understand, so Hua Haoming translated for him, "Xia Bai said that you are too famous, and it's hard to keep a low profile with you."
"Oh." Yang Mei squatted on the other side of the sofa with his back to Xia Bai. He was not sure what he was doing, but he stood up in less than a minute. "Xia Bai, is this okay?"
The girl in front of him... had long eyelashes, a mouth that looked like the cherry blossom lips in anime, and long black hair that hung down in front of her chest. She blinked her bright peach blossom eyes at Xia Bai, "Brother, what kind of clothes do you like me to wear? JK uniforms, Lolita, or something more mature?"
Xia Bai: “…”
He looked helplessly at the other two people in the room.
Ling Changye picked up the teacup and lowered his eyes to drink tea. This tea might be the best black tea he had ever tasted, and he drank it with great concentration.
Hua Haoming turned his head and looked at the bright sunrise outside the window. "The weather is really nice today. The salary of the assault team is quite high."
Xia Bai: “…”
In another VIP ward separated by a wall, Erwa was leaning against the wall holding a popcorn bucket and listening.
His physical skills were related to the power of nature, and even though the ward was well soundproofed, he could still keenly detect some sounds. He knew that Xia Bai was going to join the assault team, and when he heard that Xia Bai was going to take care of the baby, he hurriedly changed into a cute warm yellow outfit and brought the popcorn bucket over. When he listened again, there seemed to be no sound.
He ran to the door in a panic and excitement, and looked out through the crack. Within a few seconds he saw Xia Bai leaving with a beautiful young lady.
The light in Erwa's eyes gradually faded away and turned into little pearls.
From 10 am to 6 pm today, Xia Bai and his team will be on duty.
The hospital has a restaurant, which is open to all residents for free. Song Lu said that she would assign a VIP ward to Xia Bai, so that he could eat better in the ward. Xia Bai refused. Since he had to complete his volunteer work first and would not accept the task of the assault team, he would eat and live with the volunteers first.
Yang Mei followed Xia Bai to the restaurant to eat.
He was wearing a pure white shirt with mid-length sleeves, a pink and purple plaid bow tie at the collar, and a pink and purple plaid pleated miniskirt, revealing a pair of long, straight, white legs. He was wearing pile socks and a pair of black buckled leather shoes, and he was holding the arm of Daidai Xia Bai, attracting countless eyes along the way.
If he sees someone looking at him for a long time, he will wave his hand to greet them and say softly, "Hello."
A total of three people hit the pillar on the road.
Finally they arrived at the restaurant, and Zhong Zicang, who was about to call him over, was stunned.
Yang Mei happily ran over in her lambskin shoes, tilted her head and asked, "Hello, are you my brother's senior? I'll trouble you to take care of me in the next few days."
"Ah? Oh, okay, okay." Zhong Zicang said gentlemanly with a red face, "Please take a seat."
After sitting down, he asked, "Wait, take care of me for the next few days?"
Hua Haoming had already thought of what to say for them. Xia Bai: "He is new to the rescue team of the Tourism Administration's Logistics Department. He will follow us to familiarize himself with the work first."
"Yes." Yang Mei nodded, "It was Sister Wei who asked me to follow you."
Zhong Zicang immediately recognized that this "Sister Wei" was Wei Zhengyu, the head of the Logistics Department. He couldn't help but look at her again, thinking of going back to confirm who this lady was.
When Wang Wei and Zhang Runyue arrived, they were also surprised and said in unison: "What a lovely sister!"
Yang Mei smiled happily and seriously, "My two sisters are also beautiful. I'll trouble you to take care of them for the next two days. I'm so stupid."
The three "girls" started chatting happily, from work to outfits, and from outfits to skin care.
Xia Bai ate with a blank face.
While chatting, Yang Mei did not forget to pay attention to Xia Bai and asked, "Brother, why do you only eat white rice? You should eat more vegetables and meat."
He leaned against Xia Bai's arm to pick up some food for him. Xia Bai blankly pushed away the hand that was trying to hold his arm, "I just like to eat white rice."
Yang Mei blinked in grievance, "Brother, why don't you let me hug you? Do you dislike me for being stupid, or do you dislike my flat chest?"
"Puff!" Zhong Zicang spat out a mouthful of chicken soup.
Xia Bai's expression became more and more dull.
It was very difficult to eat a meal.
Xia Bai had never wanted to work so badly.
Unfortunately, there was no game to complete today, so they waited in the ambulance for eight hours, eight long hours, extremely long.
When they returned to the Orthopedic Hospital, Ling Changye took the second child for a walk for the last day. After a day of walking, Xia Bai no longer wanted to take the children for a walk, but he still wanted to go out and play bumper games, so he took Yang Mei to an amusement park quite far away.
The entertainment industry in Quanguang City has been severely impacted during this period, and the amusement park is the worst hit. Few parents bring their children to the amusement park, and the entire park is empty. Not to mention not having to queue, you can't even find companions to play any of the attractions.
Yang Mei was riding on the carousel, and Xia Bai was sitting outside taking pictures of him. Every time he passed by Xia Bai, he would strike a pose, and he did the same one for more than ten times.
Yang Mei is very good at taking photos. Every photo looks good and she smiles very happily.
When taking pictures and talking about outfits and skin care, he looked very capable, but Xia Bai knew that he was really stupid and had no social experience.
He suddenly became very curious about how Yang Mei got the identity of Wan Gui Mi. Xia Bai knew that the acquisition of soul skills required fate, not the best performance. He was just curious about what Yang Mei had experienced, or what was in her soul, to have the skills behind this identity.
Yang Mei almost fell when she got off the carousel. When Xia Bai was about to stand up, he had already stood firm and ran over quickly.
He sat down next to Xia Bai and asked Xia Bai: "Brother Xia Bai, why are there no fireworks in the amusement park?"
There were probably less than ten people in the entire amusement park, which was already bleak. Even if there were fireworks in the past, they can’t be set off now.
Thinking this way, Xia Bai sent a message to Song Lu, asking: [Can fireworks be set off at Beibei Amusement Park in Quanguang City? ]
Song Lu quickly replied to him, [Ten minutes.]
Ten minutes later, a fireworks display even grander than the one that took place on the day the amusement park opened appeared over the Beibei Amusement Park. Brilliant and brilliant fireworks exploded in the air, bringing with them lively and cheerful sounds, lighting up the lifeless dark night sky of Quanguang City.
Cheers of surprise rang out in the amusement park. Although I couldn't see where exactly they were, I could hear the cheers getting louder and louder, and finally turned into shouting. I could faintly hear someone's crying in the shouting.
The bright light of the fireworks fell into Yang Mei's beautiful peach blossom eyes. He leaned his head on Xia Bai's shoulder and looked up to greet the fireworks. "Brother Xia Bai, I'm so happy."
Xia Bai said "Oh".
After countless gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky, Yang Mei said, "Brother Xia Bai, I am actually not much older than you."
Xia Bai hummed cautiously.
Yang Mei: "Is it okay for me to call you brother?"
After a day of meaningful stares and strange words, Xia Bai felt that a fairly normal name was acceptable, "You can call me that."
An autumn breeze blew the amusement park-themed bunny ears on Xia Bai's head crooked. Yang Mei shivered, as if he felt cold, but also as if he was laughing. He hugged Xia Bai's arm, watched the fireworks bloom, and called out "Brother" on Xia Bai's shoulder.
Ever since that large map was cleared, the frequency of games appearing in Quanguang City has indeed decreased. Xia Bai's group hasn't encountered any missions for two consecutive days. There was only one game appearing in the entire Quanguang City in three days, and they and two other idle groups all went.
Only two injured players needed to be taken to the hospital, and the dead were left in the game. It was too easy for three teams to pick up two players, and they didn't even have to do anything, the people from the Game Management Bureau could handle it.
On the way back in the ambulance, Zhong Zicang said, "It depends on the situation. We can go back to school in two days."
Before Xia Bai entered the Harmony Cinema, another car of students from the Peace Medical College had already returned to school due to the reduction in gaming.
The two cars separated when they entered Quanguang City. The students in that car were sent in batches to several counties under Quanguang City. The counties were large in area and populated, so the task was relatively not that heavy, so they left three days earlier.
Zhang Runyue and Wang Wei both smiled with relief after hearing this.
They have been in Quanguang City for thirteen days. During these thirteen days, they have carried out ten rescue operations in total. The first day was the most tragic, and the third day was the most tiring with three operations. Even on the two relaxing days, they were always nervous. When they slept, they dreamed of dead people and smelled the smell of blood. They were so exhausted.
Zhong Zicang smiled and said, "Wang Wei and Zhang Xuejie have worked so hard, it's amazing."
He raised a crooked thumb and tilted his head to follow his finger.
He usually looks very serious like the student union president, especially during these days in Quanguang City, he looks solemn most of the time, rarely looking so cute.
Wang Wei laughed out loud, "No, it's Junior Brother Xia Bai who is amazing. He is so calm and composed at such a young age. I even cried on the first night."
Zhang Runyue said: "President Zhong is amazing. These days, you have been working for the Tourism Management Bureau and managing volunteer work. You have worked hard and done a great job."
At that time, Zhong Zicang stood at the front of the bus and said that he would try his best to bring everyone back to school. At that time, everyone in the bus was ready to sacrifice for the unknown weird game and the unknown Quan Guang City, and they all felt that it was unlikely that everyone would return to school.
This is indeed the case. Three students in another car going to Donglong County died.
When a group of five students went to rescue, they were drawn into a game. There was no skilled player in that game, not even an experienced player. In the end, only two students from Peace Medical College came out alive.
They were all in the same group and knew all this on the same day.
Xia Bai remembered that day. When he went to the bathroom at three in the morning that night, Zhong Zicang was still awake.
Wang Wei also said: "Yes, the most amazing thing is President Zhong. The 49 people in our car are going back to school in full."
Zhong Zicang smiled, turned his head and looked outside the car, the smile on his face turned into confusion, "Why did the car in front stop?"
In front of us was an ambulance carrying another group, which had stopped on the side of the road.
Zhong Zicang opened the car window and they all looked out.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. The entire Quanguang City was shrouded in darkness. The lights clearly distinguished the tall buildings. Those with many lights were residential buildings, while those with sparse lights were office buildings. There was one tall building that was an exception. Some of them recognized it as the central building of Huaning TV Station.
The historic city of Quanguang is the capital of Huaning Province. It is not the most economically developed city in Huaning Province, but it is the political and cultural center of Huaning Province. The provincial TV station is located in the Cultural City of Weiming District, and the radio station building is one of the landmark buildings of Quanguang City.
The TV station's central building is one of the few office buildings in Quanguang City that still has many lights on at night. It is not known which floor the fire was lit on.
The driver said, "It seems something happened at the provincial TV station center."
At this time, they were on the Cultural Avenue outside the Cultural City and could see the fire on the tallest building getting bigger and bigger.
Zhong Zicang said: "Is there a fire?"
The driver said, "It looks like it. What about us?"
They are responsible for rescuing players in the game. This kind of thing is none of their business and has nothing to do with these students from Peace Medical College.
Zhong Zicang said, "Let's go over there quickly. I think I heard someone shouting. From the sound of it, there's more than one person. The casualties must be serious."
Driver: “Okay.”
They stopped for a moment and were about to continue walking when the car in front of them also left and turned into the road leading to the fire. After their car caught up, the car behind also caught up, and only the ambulance carrying the injured player continued to move forward along the original route.
When they were halfway there, the driver's intercom heard the voice of the ambulance driver in front: "Ambulance 1022, Ambulance 1023, there seems to be unusual player movement ahead, someone from the Operations Department seems to have passed by."
"There are unusual player movements. It's very dangerous. Do you still want to go?" the driver asked.
Zhong Zicang immediately explained to them, "Player movement refers to fighting between player teams, or players using skills to carry out large-scale illegal activities. Usually there are several skilled players, which can be dangerous."
Wang Wei: "Then we have to go too. We heard there were a lot of casualties!"
Zhong Zicang immediately said to the driver: "Go!"
The driver replied: "Ambulance No. 1022 will be there soon."
It took less than two minutes to reach the destination at such a short distance. Xia Bai pushed Yang Mei, who was still sleeping on his shoulder, and took him and the other three people out of the car. The other two people in the ambulance also got out.
Huaning TV Station consists of a main building and a podium building, which half encloses a square. They stood on the square and looked up.
"The fire seems to have been put out. It was on the thirteenth floor."
"Shall we go up now?"
"Of course, go up immediately. The injured can't wait."
"Walk!"
Huaning TV has launched several good variety shows in the past two years. The TV station is usually very busy outside and has strict access control. It was past ten o'clock at night, and there was not even a guard at the door. There was only a few splatters of blood.
The lobby on the first floor was spacious and there were several elevators. They took two elevators to the 13th floor.
When they arrived, the fight had stopped, but the atmosphere was still tense and it looked like three parties were in a standoff.
Xia Bai saw a familiar person.
Ling Changye stood in front of several people. He didn't know any of them, but they looked either relaxed or very powerful, and didn't seem like ordinary people.
Hearing someone approaching, Ling Changye glanced in their direction. When his eyes passed Xia Bai, they were the same as when he passed the others.
They were all wearing white coats and you could tell what they did at first glance.
A bald man on the opposite side laughed and said, "As expected of the Tourism Administration, the rescue team arrived so promptly."
He turned to look at Ling Changye again, "What I didn't expect was that it also alarmed the captain of the assault team."
Ling Changye was still wearing his windbreaker. Xia Bai had seen him wearing the windbreaker several times, and had also seen him missing limbs several times. It was reasonable to suspect that his habit of wearing a windbreaker started from the time he was often missing limbs. The windbreaker could cover the missing arms better when draped over the body than when worn.
He bent his back into a small arc, lowered his head to look at the player who died tragically at his feet, and turned him over with his foot, "You're too polite. Since we know each other, there's no need to say any more nonsense. Would you like to go to the Education Institute with us?"
The other party just laughed.
Ling Changye raised his eyes and waved his hand, "All players except the Holy Game Guild and the Half Moon Group should leave. The next thing is the Game Management Bureau and these two clubs' affairs."
Not counting the volunteers, there were about twenty people on the 13th floor, with more than a dozen lying on the ground. Blood filled the cracks in the marble floor, and the fire that had just been put out left behind pungent smoke, which spread like gray fog over the faces of people with different expressions.
A group of people looked at each other. Three of them were injured and ran away. Seeing that the three people ran down without any obstruction, two more people ran down together. In total, about ten people ran down.
The fewer people there were left, the more tense the atmosphere became.
Ling Changye turned to look at them, "The rescue team will go down and wait."
The volunteers were infected by the tense atmosphere. They had seen many bloody scenes after games, but this was the first time they saw such a tense confrontation between players. The people on this floor all looked like big guys, none of them were easy to mess with, and it seemed as if they were going to take someone's life in the next second.
They also understood what the captain of the assault team meant. A battle was about to begin, so he asked them to go down and hide.
They subconsciously looked at Zhong Zicang. Just as Zhong Zicang was about to speak, the three people who ran away at first came back, followed by several people, all of whom looked unhappy.
The person at the front said nervously, "We can't get out. It seems like we've been sucked into the game."
