As Alex was speaking, he staggered back and kicked a bottle on the ground. The empty bottle fell and rolled to Bai Liu's feet.

Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked over. On the bottle was written neatly: [Drug for reactivating cells of dying organisms (animal experimental version, not for human use)].

【Developer: Alex Brown】

Bai Liu moved his gaze and saw several scattered empty bottles behind Alex. Then he calmly looked at the corpses around him.

The broken upper limbs, half of the head with brain exposed, and a calf with tendons broken by the explosion, all pointed their broken ends at Bai Liu at a strange angle.

In the dim tent, these bloody cuts seemed like the eyes of these limbs, and they were greedily gazing at Bai Liu, the uninvited guest whose limbs were intact, with these rotten eyes.

It's as if... these pieces of corpse have evolved independent consciousness.

[System prompt: Congratulations to player Bai Liu for unlocking the "Jungle Edge" monster book - Half-dead Corpse Block]

[Players can earn one point for each half-dead corpse they collect and subdue. The player with the highest total points within seven days wins.]

It seems that this is the body part that the game asks them to collect.

The creator of these corpses, Bai Liu, slowly raised his eyes and looked at Alex who was still kneeling on the ground and collapsed. He could feel the sway of his stance caused by the huge pain in this NPC.

This should be a core plot point that determines whether Alex betrays or not.

Bai Liu did not stand up, but let the corpses crawl closer to him. He still squatted and looked at Alex: "You think Guy did something wrong, but do you think these corpses did something right?"

Alex held his head and howled in pain. He did not answer Bai Liu's words, but the trembling and trance in his eyes already showed his answer - he felt that what these people did was also wrong.

Bai Liu glanced at the corpses on the ground and said in an ambiguous tone: "Guy told you that this is what war is like. In a war, everyone is a corpse without emotions."

"I think your previous idea is good. If the corpses can come back to life and fight, no one will be hurt." Bai Liu sighed regretfully, "But this is simply impossible."

Alex was stunned.

After saying that, Bai Liu patted Alex's shoulder, who had remained motionless after hearing this: "Have a good rest. There will be another big battle tomorrow, and we don't know how many fresh corpses will be produced. We have a lot to do."

Bai Liu stood up and pulled Hei Tao, whose eyes were almost glued to the pieces of corpses, out of Alex's tent and back to their own tent.

Spade looked at Bai Liu: "You are trying to trick Alex into switching sides."

"That's not entirely true." Bai Liu took off his military jacket that was covered in dirt and hung it on the tent after entering the room. He then turned his head and smiled at Hei Tao while lying on the cot. "Switching camps will not help us. If Alex switches to the enemy side and we defect right after him, the enemy will definitely not be as accepting of us rebels as the Ni Shen who defected from the beginning."

"To put it simply, after Alex's defection, our chances of winning are not as high as those of Nishen." Bai Liu opened his eyelids and looked at Hei Tao with a half-smile, "Under this circumstance, Nishen and his men are likely to win against you."

As soon as he heard about the win or loss, Heitao instantly focused. He took off his clothes and sat on the bed close to Bai Liu: "How are we going to beat them?"

Bai Liu quietly retreated a little further into the bed. "The game only gives us two options, our own camp and the enemy camp. And judging from the current trend, whether Alex stays with us or defect to the enemy, we have to become weapons of war to win, and spend a lot of effort to slaughter and create corpses for Alex."

"Personally, I don't like this low-cost-performance winning method of competing on both sides of the panel value, and we probably can't beat them in terms of the overall panel value of the wheels."

Hei Tao interrupted Bai Liu and said, "Yes, I can. My panel value is higher than the other three people except Ni Shen combined."

Bai Liu was silent for a moment, then raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What is your panel value data?"

Spade reported a string of numbers carefully, and then said, "The panel value of Nishen is confidential. I don't know it either, but it shouldn't be higher than mine."

Bai Liu fell into a strange silence - no wonder Ni Shen wanted to suppress the momentum of the Hei Tao family...

With this absurdly high panel value data, if he doesn't suppress it and doesn't listen to orders, he is equivalent to a super destroyer, which will make the situation extremely chaotic and the trend of victory or defeat is completely unclear. Once he enters the league game, it is almost like nine other people playing against him alone, and they may not be able to beat him.

"I heard rumors from outside and only knew that your panel was worth over ten thousand, but I didn't expect it to be so much more," said Bai Liu.

Spade replied: "When I first started playing last year, I broke 10,000. Then when the league started, my teammates asked me to keep it secret, saying that the panel value was too prominent and it would be easy for others to target me."

Bai Liu continued, "But even if your panel value is high, it is only a personal advantage. In this game, the Nishen team took the initiative very well, entered the enemy army, and occupied the camp advantage. Even if we rebel again, when fighting for corpses, their advantage is still far greater than ours."

"So I was thinking," Bai Liu smiled, "In order to undermine their advantage in the formation, can we induce a third formation option?"

Spade frowned: "The third camp, whose camp is it?"

Bai Liu replied: "Alex's personal camp."

midnight.

Hei Tao, who was lying next to Bai Liu, was sleeping soundly with his arms around Bai Liu's waist without any precautions.

Bai Liu gently moved away Hei Tao's hands and feet that were hugging her, walked down from the bed and walked out of the camp.

He walked into Alex's tent quietly. Alex was still sitting on the ground, looking exactly the same as before Bai Liu left. It looked like he hadn't moved for several hours.

Alex seemed to notice Bai Liu coming in, but he didn't look up. He just said in a hoarse voice, "The battle will start in three hours. Don't try to persuade me. Go back and have a good sleep."

"You have joined the Second Assault Team. In three hours, you and Guy will face each other on the battlefield." Bai Liu turned on the dim chandelier and looked down at Alex. "Do you want to see him one last time before you point guns at each other?"

Alex slowly raised his head. A glimmer of hope appeared in his dull eyes, but it quickly died out. "Before the war begins, soldiers who are caught secretly will be tortured. Don't take risks 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 Red Cross Aid Society of the Non-Planing Camp. Wounded soldiers can take the initiative to seek help there."

Alex's eyes lit up again. "But if you go to the Red Cross, you need someone to sponsor you. Do you know anyone there?"

Bai Liu smiled: "Yes, I know someone who can guarantee your entry now."

The Red Cross relief site was brightly lit.

This medical organization, which has the main purpose of providing rescue and has no borders or camps, is stationed in the camps of both sides and at the borders of the war.

After Bai Liu reported his location to Liu Jiayi, Alex shot himself twice in the leg without hesitation.

Soon a Red Cross car stumbled in and took away Alex, who had an injured leg.

Bai Liu got on the bus. The people on the bus 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 two look really alike."

In the eyes of these people, the faces of these two Asians, Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu, are undoubtedly similar.

"Hey, your sister is such an excellent girl." The people in the car seemed to have a special liking for Liu Jiayi, and rushed to talk to Bai Liu about her. "She is very good at treatment. We simply couldn't believe that such a young child could skillfully deal with war injuries and heavy bleeding. She can do things that a dozen adults can't do by herself."

"She saved dozens of people in just two days."

"Have you ever considered sending her to a medical university after the war?" A group of people hinted at Bai Liu crazily, "I remember that after joining the war, you had a place to study at a top university. Have you ever considered giving it to Jiayi?"

Bai Liu smiled and replied: "But she is only nine years old."

The group vehemently retorted: "It has nothing to do with age. Jiayi is fully capable of studying at a top university. She is a little genius!"

It seems that within two days, Liu Jiayi has already maxed out the favorability of the Red Cross NPCs.

This made it extremely convenient for Bai Liu to do things. They drove directly into the Red Cross camp. When Bai Liu jumped out of the back of the truck, he saw Liu Jiayi jogging towards him.

Liu Jiayi was wearing an ill-fitting nurse's uniform, a small nurse's hat on her head, blood-stained white gloves on her hands, and a palm-sized Red Cross logo on her sleeve that fluttered as she ran.

She was jogging towards this side in the chain of crisscrossed bearers with a serious look on her face, giving orders as she ran.

The people here were surprisingly obedient to her. As long as she told them where to send it, the people carrying the biers would immediately send it to that tent.

Liu Jiayi has become a person with a lot of say here.

When she ran in front of Bai Liu, Bai Liu smiled and teased: "You are doing well."

Liu Jiayi took off her gloves unhappily and threw them into the medical trash can: "You could have delayed it a little longer. You actually delayed this kind of faction game until before the war before you had the intention of changing factions. I almost defected to your faction with the entire Red Cross."

"But you haven't given any instructions yet, so I'm calm." Liu Jiayi shook off the talcum powder on her hands and said seriously, "You didn't contact me yesterday, so I knew you probably had other ideas about this game. The Red Cross, as a non-camp volunteer organization, can help you switch camps. Now, which side are you going to join?"

Bai Liu smiled: "Third party."

Liu Jiayi responded quickly: "You want to form your own team? With the main NPCs and corpses as the core?"

Bai Liu nodded.

Liu Jiayi frowned and thought for a moment: "The corpse does not need help, so the Red Cross is of no use to you. I have to get out of here as soon as possible."

"Oh, by the way, the difficulty of this game is not in the faction." Liu Jiayi raised her head, "I think you also know that it is because you are not in the same faction as the killer sequence."

She was a little worried: "Even if the Inquisitors and Spades seem to be targeting each other in this game, no matter which side we are on, we can't compete with them now. After all, they were last year's champion team, and their overall quality is far inferior."

"In essence, the two camps that really decide the outcome of this game are the Spades and the God-Defying camps. We are just a small addition."

"I know." Bai Liu smiled, "So all we need to do is make Hei Tao and Ni Shen think that I'm on the same side as them, right?"

"This way, no matter which side they win, I win."

Liu Jiayi was startled. She quickly understood what Bai Liu wanted to do and couldn't help but "= =" for a moment: "Are you going to play double-faced spy again?"

Bai Liu smiled and hummed.

Liu Jiayi frowned: "But both Hei Tao and Ni Shen are not easy to deal with. How can you make them believe that you are on the same side as them?"

Bai Liu lowered his eyes: "Of course it is my sincerity."

Liu Jiayi: “…”

Don't make sarcastic comments to me at this time!

"Ni Shen and the main NPC Guy and the others should be in the Red Cross now, right?" Bai Liu changed the subject.

Liu Jiayi nodded: "Yes, because it was the eve of the war, Ni Shen and his men came to contact the Red Cross. I just triggered the main NPC Guy. He was injured and sent here for treatment."

Bai Liu looked at Liu Jiayi and asked, "Did they recognize you as a player?"

"I recognized him." Liu Jiayi was puzzled. "But the overall attitude of Nishen and his men was quite good to me. They seemed to treat me as an ordinary NPC with rescue functions. They even traded points with me twice for antidotes."

Liu Jiayi: "NPCs here cannot be saved with antidotes, but players can. Nishen and his team took the initiative to buy antidotes from me, and I gave them to them."

After thinking deeply, she replied: "They have no hostility towards us. Their purpose is very clear, they just want to win the Spade."

"To put it bluntly, they want Spades to lose." Bai Liu curled his lips, "We are in agreement on this point."

Liu Jiayi looked up at Bai Liu and said, "I feel like you've already figured out how to convince Nishen. What about Heitao? He doesn't look like someone who's easy to convince."

"As for Heitao..." Bai Liu paused slightly strangely, "It's been handled. He completely believes that he and I are on the same side."

Liu Jiayi was shocked: "You two fought fiercely in the last instance, how did you convince him to trust you wholeheartedly?!"

Bai Liu turned his eyes away imperceptibly: "I used some special means."

Liu Jiayi walked past him suspiciously and continued to talk to Bai Liu: "Why don't you dare look me in the face and say this? You never feel guilty about doing bad things, but what did you do to Heitao that makes you feel so guilty?"

Bai Liu: “…”

It's not a good thing for dirty adults to be too sensitive to children.

Seeing that Bai Liu didn't answer, Liu Jiayi raised her eyebrows: "I won't force you to tell me, but I will know it eventually."

"But let's forget about it now. The war is about to start and time is running out." Liu Jiayi waved her hand, "I'll take you to see Ni Shen and the others."

Bai Liu followed behind Liu Jiayi and asked, "Isn't it a bit too urgent for Nishen and his team to come and contact the Red Cross at this time?"

"How can you say that 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: "They are the same. The indigenous people don't trust the Red Cross. They think the Red Cross and the other side are in cahoots. They have always refused our help and will not allow us to help take in their wives and children."

“But the Red Cross is actually safer than the neutral indigenous village where they are being held.”

Bai Liu understood immediately: "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, Ni Shen and his men have no communication and understanding barriers with the people here, so they communicated with those who were sent over, right?"

"Not only that." Liu Jiayi turned around and glanced at Bai Liu. "Ni Shen 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. He came to contact the Red Cross today, and he also came here as a commander to relocate harmless women and children."

"In two days, you went from a rebel to a commander?" Bai Liu raised his eyebrows.

Liu Jiayi paused: "Yes."

"Anyway, this guy gives me a feeling of... looking harmless, with a smiling face, but actually knowing everything."

"But if Nishen is the commander, it should be a simple matter for him to come here to arrange for the placement of women and children. He should not stay here until before the war. He should 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. One part is the emerging indigenous people headed by the new commander Ni Shen. The indigenous people of this faction are willing to accept many things from the new faction and hope to use the victory of the war as the starting point for their development and grow stronger."

"Most of the party's top leaders were on good terms with the factory director who was shot earlier, and had received assistance and ideological enlightenment from him."

"Another group is the old natives who are highly hostile to all new things. They believe in a religion preached by Arabs. I heard it is a religion of some evil god. They yearn for traditional farming life and reject all mechanical production tools. They think this is a blasphemy against their hands given by God for labor."

Liu Jiayi turned to look at Bai Liu: "I believe you have guessed it. The leader of this faction of natives is the old commander, the one who shot and killed the factory director and started the war."

"There are irreconcilable contradictions between the old and new party factions. Currently, the new faction is in the upper hand, but the old faction is always unwilling to let the new faction take power and will cause all kinds of trouble."

"For example, today, Ni Shen actually settled these women and children a few hours ago, but the group of people from the old school suddenly rushed over and frantically stopped Ni Shen from doing so, saying that Ni Shen was a traitor and an undercover agent, and that he was not trying to protect these descendants and wives at all, but to offer their descendants and wives to the enemy to gain greater rewards."

Liu Jiayi led Bai Liu to a tent and raised her chin: "They are in here, they should still be arguing. Do you want me to go in with you?"

The sound of a fierce quarrel could be heard faintly from the tent.

White Willow shook her head.

Liu Jiayi nodded in understanding and threw a bottle of antidote to Bai Liu: "Your weapon is destroyed. If there is any movement, scream. I'll be guarding outside."

After saying that, Liu Jiayi, who was wearing a nurse's uniform, took out a bottle of poison spray, then hid at the side of the tent and made an OK gesture to Bai Liu who was about to enter.

Bai Liu gave a OK gesture in return, then opened the curtain and walked in calmly.

Both parties in the dispute are silent. Standing on the left are Nishen's group, and on the right are a group of people wearing eagle feather hats, animal skins on their shoulders, and oil paint on their faces. These people have fierce expressions, and their exposed teeth are slightly sharp. They must be in the habit of tearing large pieces of meat.

When they saw Bai Liu coming in, the traditional natives were ready to show their teeth to him, 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 a person favored by the true god, and he must not be offended."

Then he saluted Bai Liu, bowed and politely left.

The emotion in Bai Liu's eyes was murky, but it quickly calmed down. He looked at Ni Shen and said, "It seems that I have interrupted your conversation."

"No, no, no, you saved me." Nishen rubbed his forehead, sat down tiredly on the chair and took a long breath, smiling at Bai Liu and extending his hand, "I have been arguing with them for two hours, and as soon as you came, they were willing to take a break in the middle of the game and let me go for the time being."

Bai Liu lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ni Shen: "Nice to meet you, Bai Liu."

Nishen smiled and said, "I am a tactician of the Killer Sequence. You can just call me Nishen."

Nishen gestured to Bai Liu to sit down: "You want to talk to me about something, right?"

Bai Liu sat down, raised his eyes and smiled: "Yes, I want to talk to you about how to make Spade lose this game."

Nishen, who was originally paralyzed in the chair, slowly sat up straight. He waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately retreated. Only three other members of the killer sequence and Bai Liu and Nishen who were sitting on the chairs were left in the tent.

Bai Liu said slowly, "I have a way to make Hei Tao lose this match miserably to you."

Nishen and the three members of the killer team stared at Bai Liu with astonishment. After a long while, Nishen asked expectantly, "Tell me more about it."

"I can lure Spade to a certain place on the battlefield, and cooperate with you to attack him from the front and back. He trusts me more and won't be too defensive against me, so the success rate of this plan is relatively high..." Bai Liu said slowly.

"Stop." A young man who looked no more than 17 or 18 years old standing behind Nishen raised his hand and made a "stop" gesture, then looked at Bai Liu and asked sternly, "Heitao will not listen to anything. There was a problem with your plan from the beginning."

Nishen turned around and hit the boy angrily: "How do you talk to other players? Don't you know how to behave? Introduce yourself first."

The boy paused for a moment and said, "Killer Sequence Squad member, control position, Kashiwagi."

Nishen raised his hand and apologized sheepishly: "I'm sorry, please continue."

Bo Jiamu interrupted Ni Shen bluntly: "But he can't control Spade at all. Spade doesn't even care about us..."

"Although I may not be able to achieve control." Bai Liu raised her head with a smile, "but I should be able to influence it."

Nishen first apologized for his team members, but then he changed the subject and asked with a smile, "Mr. Bai Liu, you said that Hei Tao would trust you. Is there any objective basis worth referring to?"

Bai Liu said calmly, "Oh, that's right, I married him yesterday."

Nishen: “…”

Bai Jiamu: “…”

Other Killer Sequence members: "..."
