Qianyue regretted coming to the northern suburbs and planned to find a chance to escape, but Du Yue wanted to recruit her.
Until now, he didn't know who Qianyue was, but simply felt that this person seemed to have some abilities.
Although the two had not met in the third copy, he still heard a lot about Qianyue from Du Yuanlang.
So he said, "Our base is nearby, do you want to join us?"
Qianyue: “No need.”
Du Yue could probably guess that she was used to working alone, so he was not surprised at her refusal.
But he believed in his own judgment, and Qianyue would definitely follow him in the end.
Du Yue said calmly, "I know you're very capable, but you can't make it to the end by yourself."
Qianyue's expression suddenly became subtle.
She asked bluntly, "Are you praising me or insulting me?"
Du Yue's expression remained unchanged. "I'm just stating a fact. This instance is different from the others. The city will soon be breached."
Qianyue corrected him: "The city has been broken."
Du Yue shook his head, "This is not the worst outcome."
As for what the worst outcome is...
Qianyue's expression was slightly stern, and she couldn't help but become serious: "What do you know?"
Du Yue avoided answering and asked, "So you're joining us?"
Qianyue: “…”
Qianyue was a little confused. She didn't seem to have anything special about her, so why was Du Yue so obsessed with winning her over?
Could it be that he recognized her? But judging from his previous appearance, it didn't seem like that.
Qianyue didn't go to the blind date at all, and she has never attended any social occasions in these years.
It should be impossible for the other party to recognize Qianmu based on the photo taken a few years ago in her hand.
Unable to figure out Du Yue's exact intentions, Qian Yue simply laid it out: "War dungeons aren't my strong suit."
What he meant was, it's no use getting me to join you.
Unexpectedly, Du Yue was even more frank than her. He said seriously, "We're short of people. Any hands will do."
If you have the hand, you can do it.
“…”
Qianyue immediately stopped her previous series of thoughts, and the look she gave Du Yue became very complicated.
Sure enough, the elders in the family were arranging blind dates for a reason. She, Du Yue, and Qi Feng all deserved to be single;)
Players who join the base need to pay a portion of black bread, or medicines such as isatis root and bandages every day.
Qianyue was a little hesitant at first, but after seeing their base, her doubts were dispelled.
Qianyue: "Subway station? It's a good place indeed."
In the semi-interstellar era, to judge whether a city is big enough, the first thing to look at is whether it has a subway.
The extensive subway lines are buried deep underground, connecting the entire city. During special periods, they can also be transformed into important passages. It is not an exaggeration to call it an underground city.
Similarly, the supplies in the subway station are relatively abundant, and there are several types of standard weapons alone.
In addition, some subway stations will have vending machines, convenience stores, and even commercial streets. With a rich variety of resources, they are simply the best choice for residence.
Some people might ask, what if it rains later? The subway station is low-lying, so won't it be flooded?
Many people choose to live in high places with this idea in mind.
But in fact, if subway stations are really so easily flooded, then humans would not be able to promote them as an important means of transportation.
It has a very powerful drainage system inside, coupled with complete flood control facilities, so it is rarely flooded.
So in today's situation, once it really rains, subway stations located in "low places" are actually safer than other so-called "high places".
Unfortunately, although the interior of the subway is not easy to collapse, the entrance can be easily blown up or blocked by garbage produced by the collapse of other buildings.
Qianyue had seen one or two subway stations in Dongcheng District before, but most of them only had a road sign left, and the ruins buried the entrance, making it impossible to find the place. So she gave up the idea of finding a place to stay and started digging cat ear holes by herself.
The subway station before us had inevitably been partially destroyed, and while it wasn't particularly noticeable at first glance, as we got closer, we could see that a small section was still passable—the result of manual tidying up by the residents of the base.
Du Yue: "It's indeed a good place."
Seeing that Qianyue could see the advantages of the subway station at a glance, Du Yue's evaluation of her improved a little bit.
Many people had left before because they felt the subway station was not safe enough and were afraid they would be buried alive inside. Du Yue had initially tried to explain and try to keep them, but later he let them go.
Du Yue said: "We discovered this place by accident. If we are not mistaken, this should be the only subway station left in the whole city."
The implication is that if you miss it, you will never get it again.
Qianyue was helpless: "You don't have to provoke me, I know how to weigh the pros and cons."
Qianyue's reluctance to cooperate with others was simply due to her dislike for the hassle. She couldn't even afford to pursue her own quality of life, let alone bring others along.
But now that the benefits are right in front of her, she naturally won't refuse.
At least, she couldn't think of any place safer than a subway station.
"I stayed."
Qianyue paid the infrastructure fee neatly and asked, "Now can you tell me what you know? What did you mean by the city being broken?"
The others had already gone in. Du Yue gestured to her as he walked and talked. The "raincoat" he took off was completely scrapped, but he still held it in his hand and did not throw it carelessly at the door.
Because if this thing is placed at the door, it will undoubtedly tell others: There are people living here, and they have supplies on them, come and rob us.
The two of them were in the tram on the second underground floor. They went down the stairs and continued walking inside.
Du Yue didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "You know the Battle of Aplans, right?"
Qianyue: “I know.”
I guess no one would forget this battle that has been taught in both elementary school textbooks and university textbooks.
At that time, mankind had just entered the semi-interstellar era and various forces were still in chaos. In order to fight for power, the Battle of Aplans finally broke out.
It was this battle that gave rise to the emergence of the Galactic General Administration, which was composed of various forces but did not belong to any one party.
Qianyue thought about it, but didn't find anything wrong. She asked, "Is this battle related to this dungeon?"
Du Yue nodded, "This is the inspiration provided by the Galaxy General with reference to one of the small battlefields."
Qianyue: "A small battlefield..." Then she really didn't know.
But Du Yue came from a military academy, so he naturally knew all about these things.
"At that time, Fufeng City, located in the rear, suddenly fell and was bombarded by the rebels for over a month. The entire city was reduced to ruins."
"After the bombing, the rebels entered the city to clean up. The local people launched a fierce resistance, but for various reasons, the resistance was ineffective. At the same time, due to the lack of supplies, the local people fought fiercely among themselves."
According to Qianyue's impression of history, under normal circumstances, the rebels should enter the city - the people will revolt - and the two sides will fight, but in fact, not every battle has room for counterattack.
Take the copy she is in now, for example. First of all, they lack the supplies to resist, and secondly, the indigenous people have no forces capable of leading the war.
Maybe some players feel that they can do it for others and write a glorious history - after all, many games are set up like this, and the players are the saviors.
But in fact, taking Du Yue as an example, he has been to the battlefield after all, but in this situation, it became a problem for him to even set up a small base of dozens of people to protect himself.
History records victories and famous battles, but there are many more unappealable pasts that have been lost in the long river of time and buried under the loess.
The reason why the Galaxy General chose this battle as the prototype of the copy was simply to let them taste the bitter fruit of war and keep them vigilant with a sword hanging over their heads at all times.
Du Yue recalled: "It was the rainy season, and soon it rained for over a month. The weather restricted the movements of both sides, and the fighting situation did not deteriorate further. However, the number of people dying from lack of supplies continued to rise every day."
Qianyue: "Including the rebels?"
Du Yue shook his head. "The rebels have their own supplies. In this respect, the game is somewhat different from reality."
The rebels and monsters in the game are similar, but somewhat different.
Players can grab weapons from them, but they are only temporary and will lose their effectiveness after a while. If you kill the rebels directly, the player can only get some item fragments at most.
All in all, it's a thankless task.
At the same time, the rebels in the game are infinitely refreshed, so no one dares to say "kill them all".
It is precisely because of this that most players adopt a roundabout strategy, hoping to drag it out until the end of the dungeon, rather than engaging in a head-on confrontation.
Du Yue: "After the rain finally stopped, the sun scorched the sky again. The ruins fermented, and disease spread."
"The rebels voluntarily withdrew, but at the same time, they sealed off the entire Fufeng City from the outside. Even if the survivors in the city were free, they couldn't escape."
"At this point, Fufeng City was truly conquered—it collapsed without bloodshed. Two months later, Fufeng was completely transformed into a dead city."
