Playing that kind of shit with a player with an intelligence score of 91 is not a good idea.
Bai Liu paused for less than three seconds before choosing to tell Liu Jiayi the whole story.
Liu Jiayi: “…”
Liu Jiayi sneered. As a member of the team who had seen the situation where Hearts liked Spades and suffered greatly from it, she keenly sensed that something was wrong with Bai Liu: "So you just married him so easily? This is not your normal approach. Do you have any thoughts about Spades..."
Bai Liu calmly interrupted Liu Jiayi and changed the subject: "The battle will begin in less than three hours. This is an important plot point. I have already made arrangements for Nishen. Tang Er, who has been transferred to the Second Assault Team, will meet him during the battle and try to minimize the casualties on Nishen's side."
"Here, I need you to heal Guy as soon as possible so he can go to the battlefield."
Liu Jiayi stared at Bai Liu for a while before mercifully choosing to follow his words and skip the topic.
She nodded to show that she understood: "Because he is the main NPC, the key plot points cannot be missing, otherwise the plot will be problematic. I will find a way to wake him up and maintain basic mobility."
Bai Liu looked at Alex who was leaning on the bed and said, "I will take Alex back. There will be a lot of fighting between the two sides. You should also pay attention to your safety in the Red Cross."
"In the eyes of those who don't follow the rules, the Red Cross is not a completely neutral and safe place." Bai Liu reminded calmly, "In an extreme dispute, unless there is a long geographical separation, there is no completely neutral place, and any area may be involved."
Liu Jiayi frowned: "Are you talking about those natives who were about to attack Guy at the Red Cross?"
Bai Liu shook her head: "Not all of them."
He looked at Liu Jiayi calmly: "I mean everyone who took sides in the war."
The night is about to brighten.
In the damp and dark jungle, the armored vehicles in front were lined up to flatten the road and plants and vines to facilitate the tracked tanks behind to move forward.
The disassembled parts of dozens of heavy artillery pieces fell heavily onto the towing hooks at the rear of these armored vehicles and were pulled for transportation, with their gun muzzles standing out eerily.
The soldiers held up their shovels and moved forward in silence and order, occasionally clearing away some branches and leaves that had entangled the tires.
The jungle ground was incredibly sticky after the heavy rain, so the marching speed was not fast. However, thanks to the one and a half years of war experience, everyone was already accustomed to walking in the rainforest with such terrain, and no major changes occurred.
Tang Erda, wearing a steel helmet and holding the gun assigned to him, stood guard beside the leading armored vehicle. He controlled his gaze and did not look at Hei Tao, who was staring at him expressionlessly for a long time.
This person had been staring at him all the way with a look that said, "You must be hiding something from me," but Tang Erda was very patient and didn't say anything.
And Spade didn't ask. He just looked at him quietly and silently. From time to time, Spade would raise the gun and adjust it, with the muzzle pointing at him.
Tang Erda: "..."
Wasn't Spade from the Cleanup Team? Why was he promoted to Assault Team 2?
The reason why Spade suddenly became a member of the Second Assault Team can only be explained by going back to the early morning of this morning.
Because of the commander's sudden mixed orders, the Second Assault Team was in chaos and short of people when they assembled before setting off.
When the members of Assault Team 1 came to gather with Alex, who had signed up for Assault Team 2, they did not find him in the tent.
Deserters are subject to severe punishment according to the law, but seeing the dead bodies of his comrades from the Assault Team 1 carried back in a tent by Alex, these people simply could not bring themselves to report Alex's desertion.
Alex had gone through two major events overnight. Regardless of his mood, he was most likely injured. Even if he managed to get up there, he probably wouldn't be able to fight anymore.
In desperation, they dragged away the only person nearby, Spade, who was sitting on the bed, staring motionlessly at the empty bed, to make up the number.
Heitao was not very obedient at first. These people were talking nonsense to scare him. Then someone said that Bai Liu was going too. Heitao was stunned, looked at the person who said this, and then followed them very cooperatively.
But when he arrived, Bai Liu was not there.
After looking around, Hei Tao stared at the soldier who said Bai Liu was here. His face was expressionless and his tone was calm, but his gaze was inexplicably permeable: "Bai Liu is not here."
The soldier was frightened and said, "Why don't you go ask Tang Erda? He has a good relationship with Bai Liu. If Bai Liu comes here, he will definitely know where Bai Liu is."
So Hei Tao stared at Tang Er all the way, and Tang Er felt that his back was about to be stared through.
But since Spade didn't know what he was trying to do and kept his lips tightly pursed without saying a word, Tang Erda had no idea why he was being targeted - he really couldn't figure out the train of thought of this No. 1 player in the league.
When they were resting on the march, Tang Er stole a glance at Heitao, who was sitting next to him, eating a cake with his head down. He thought for a long time before he spoke tentatively: "...Bai Liu is not with you?"
Spade answered immediately: "You speak first, you lose."
Tang Er was full of questions: "...?!? What?"
Heitao glanced at Tang Erda coldly and said, "You were just competing with me to see who could speak first. You spoke first, so you lose."
Tang Erda: "..."
He just wanted to hold his temper and wait for Spade to speak first so that he could take the initiative. How come it turned into a competition where whoever spoke first would lose? !
Tang Erda couldn't understand, but he still managed to stay calm and decided to follow the man's words and say: "I lose, why didn't Bai Liu tell you..."
Spade interrupted him and emphasized: "You just lost."
Tang Erda: "..."
Tang Erda rubbed his face and took a deep breath: "Okay, I lost, where's Bai Liu?"
Heitao held the gun against his shoulder, with one eye sticking out from the edge of the gun barrel, staring straight at Tang Erda: "Someone told me that he ran away with you while I was sleeping last night."
The soldiers who were eavesdropping on the gossip nearby gasped in shock.
Tang Erda: "..."
How on earth did you come to this conclusion?!
Tang Er held his forehead helplessly: "Bai Liu didn't run away with me. I have been training since last night and haven't seen him."
Heitao lowered his eyelashes, holding the gun and saying, "Then Bai Liu must have run away with Alex. He has been paying attention to Alex since Guy's accident."
"He seemed to like paying attention to the fighting ability of this person who had just died." Spade said calmly, "He also hugged Alex. Alex completely accepted Bai Liu's comfort and betrayed his camp with him."
Tang Erda, who didn't know why he felt that he was implied, said: "..."
The soldier who was drinking water nearby coughed in shock - weren't Alex and Guy a couple?
Who would have thought that Bai Liu, a boy who looked very simple on the outside, actually had such heavy tastes in private and actually liked the corpse husband!
Is this the special hobby of traditional oriental emperors?
After a short rest, the whole team started to move forward again. The soil became more and more slippery, the water holes on the ground became more dense, and there were some unformed small rivers and riverbeds that were already flooded.
The heavy armor and tanks could no longer move forward, so they decided to stay where they were. The soldiers filled up the nearby riverbed, while the members of the second assault team continued to move forward.
"The general plan is that we will arrive near Lake Pluto, ambush and clear the boats and firing points on the lake, prevent them from spreading to the surrounding areas of the rainforest by boat to reserve combat power, attack from behind, and then launch a fierce artillery attack here."
Tang Erda explained to Heitao beside him as he walked: "Their heavy forces are not as strong as ours, and this time the commander has invested a lot of money - thousands of artillery pieces and more than 200,000 shells. All of them must be fired before 10 am."
"This rain forest will be bombed into ruins, with a big hole burned out." Tang Er smelled a bit of blood in the air, his expression was cold, "All the resources have been polluted and destroyed. He has no intention of letting the residents around here continue to survive here relying on the rain forest. The subsequent consumption will kill the other side."
Although it was just a game, Tang Er instinctively didn't like this trend, as it reminded him of some bad things that had happened in the past.
Tang Erda couldn't help but comment sarcastically: "Originally, the war was started to compete for the resources here, but in the end they would rather destroy it than let the original natives continue to enjoy it."
This careless act of destroying something that he couldn't get reminded Tang Erda of a very familiar person - Bai Liu.
This guy was still working for profit in the early days, but as time went on, it seemed like he was getting too much profit. After his endless, black hole-like desire for money was satisfied, he began to feel bored and lazy.
Bai Liu began to indulge in new pastimes and entertainment. He began to like exciting games that put his life on the line, chasing victory, and collecting people's soul coins - money in another sense.
But later on, even victory could not satisfy him.
Bai Liu began to be happy to reveal his flaws, to create an opponent for himself, and even to intentionally or unintentionally let the person in his hands lose control——
——Then deal with them.
As a qualified toy that Bai Liu had played with for more than 300 world lines and had not yet gotten tired of, Tang Erda knew too well how despicable this man was.
Mu Sicheng, Liu Jiayi, Xiao Chou, and even Mu Ke. In the later world lines, Bai Liu would kill one or two of his subordinates in almost every world line, because they betrayed him, or were out of control and no longer completely obeyed him.
But for someone like Bai Liu, whether the other party will betray him or not does not depend on the other party at all.
It depends on whether Bai Liu is willing to give these people a chance to betray.
Bai Liu is the only believer recognized by the evil god. If he had bones, a heart, or any structure similar to that of a human being, when he was dug out, he would be rotten and black, and emit a disgusting smell of money.
This war, the entire process really seems like Bai Liu's work.
The conflict between the two sides should not have erupted so early.
If it weren't for the factory director's death, this dispute that resulted in so many deaths might have been resolved more peacefully under the factory director's leadership, especially since the factory director had already achieved a lot.
But as luck would have it, this key figure died tragically, all the contradictions were rolled into a bigger dead end, and all possibilities for peaceful development were cut off.
Tang Er's emotions fluctuated for a moment, then he calmed down. They came to the lake, put on diving suits and sank.
Before entering the water, an experienced veteran warned: "Be careful, there may be many giant pythons in the lake here. The traditional indigenous people here believe in a terrible evil cult and like to raise reptiles."
"It is said that the factory director was also killed by these traditional indigenous peoples according to the instructions of the evil god."
Tang Erda's pupils shrank. He took a step forward and grabbed the soldier: "How did the factory director die?"
The soldier was frightened, but still replied to Tang Erda: "I heard that it was the evil god that these natives believed in that sent down the oracle."
"——This factory director must be brutally executed."
The author has something to say:
Small Theater
Heitao lost a white willow, and the villagers told him that if he lost something, he could go to the river (military camp) to ask the kind river god (Tang Erda) for help.
Hei Tao then came to the river and said to the river god: I have lost the golden willow that was to marry me.
River God (Tang Erda): ??? I have never picked one up before, what is the Golden White Willow? !
Spade continued: I lost a silver willow that married me
River God (Tang Erda): I really haven’t picked any, so why are there two white willows?
Spade continued: I also lost a real white willow who married me
River God (Tang Erda): You are talking nonsense! I heard from them that you only lost one white willow!
Spade took out the whip: I don't care, they said you can usually return three White Willows, so you have to return all three to me.
River God (Tang Erda): ...
Only honest children can get rewards. I hope everyone will not learn from Heitao's dishonest behavior.
