He didn't want to get involved in what happened next, nor could he. He was still in a wheelchair, and if he wanted to save the world, he had to heal his injuries first.
The military camp treated them very well. First, they sent someone to take Chen Xu to see a military doctor to confirm that the bone had been fixed. Then they arranged accommodation for them, a two-bedroom, one-living room suite.
The person who led them there said, "After the disaster, the camp kept sending out rescue teams to bring back survivors. There are more and more people in the camp, and the original houses are no longer big enough. You should make do with them for now."
Chen Xu knew she was telling the truth. In such an environment, it was not easy to live in a suite with a bathroom and kitchen. He was too embarrassed to ask for two separate rooms.
"At present, the camp is under military control. The meal time is from 5 to 6 pm. Go directly to the cafeteria to eat and use your ID card to get your meal. Don't miss the meal time. Also, after 7 pm, there is a curfew and you are not allowed to go out. If you have any questions, you can contact me through the landline. This is my number. I will send your ID cards to you in half an hour."
"Oh, and your personal belongings, dangerous items like guns, will be confiscated as per the rules. Other items will be delivered to you tomorrow after registration."
"If you have no other questions, I'll leave first."
The person responsible for sending them here left after saying this.
Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh that if he had brought such an efficient and quick-witted assistant with him before entering the dream, it would definitely be much easier to complete the task.
"Yaoyao, this is your home from now on. Will you live here with me and your Uncle Chen?" Bai Jinxuan squatted down and said to Yaoyao.
The little girl looked at Chen Xu timidly and leaned into her arms.
Chen Xu had never had much luck with children since he was a child, and this was true in reality and in his dreams. After taking in this little girl, he had always spoken softly and had a kind attitude, but she seemed to be very afraid of him. Every time she faced him, her face was a little panicked, which made him very embarrassed.
However, he didn't hate this little girl. She was cute, well-behaved and obedient, and her life story was pitiful.
Bai Jinxuan looked at his embarrassed look, snickered there, and then whispered to Yaoyao biting her ear, "Why are you afraid of your Uncle Chen?"
The little girl put her face close to hers and asked carefully, "From now on, you and Uncle Chen are my parents?"
Bai Jinxuan blushed and glanced at Chen Xu. Seeing him pretending to look at the wall, she pinched her nose and said, "Why do you ask that?"
"Only a family can live together. You and Uncle Chen are as old as my grandparents, so you can only be my parents."
Bai Jinxuan touched her face with his hand and said, "You are such a clever little girl. I haven't even gotten married yet, and I already have a daughter as old as you. Isn't that a huge loss? From now on, you call me sister, okay?"
"oh."
"Let's go and see our room." Bai Jinxuan picked up the little girl, ran into the room, and said happily, "From now on, we can finally live a stable life."
Chen Xu thought that might not be the case. It had been less than a month since he entered the dream. Given the nature of this game, how could it be possible for you to stay there peacefully until the end of the game? Something would definitely happen.
However, at this time, he would not say such spoiling words.
And so, the three of them settled down here.
…………
Life in the military camp is well-organized. There are set times for getting up, eating breakfast, and conducting group activities.
Chen Xu had participated in military training in high school and college, so he was no stranger to this kind of life. Moreover, now that he was a patient, he enjoyed the treatment of a mid- to high-level military officer due to his previous contributions, so he did not find it inconvenient.
The military camp didn't want to keep idle people, so they organized the survivors they received, and everyone had to work, and the children went to school. Bai Jinxuan and Yaoyao were no exception.
Yaoyao went to kindergarten and Bai Jinxuan joined the propaganda team, which was considered to be a return to his original job.
Although Chen Xu was recovering from his injuries, he was not idle. He went to the hospital every day in a wheelchair. He said he was helping, but he was not a medical student. He just wanted to chat with someone. Now in the entire military camp, besides him, the only free person in the hospital was there.
His goal now was to clear the game, and he was playing the dream as a game. He came here with the intention of discovering hidden tasks, otherwise he would have nothing to do anyway.
As for learning knowledge, with such a short time, he really couldn't learn much useful things. He had already had experience in the last dream.
As a result, he became familiar with all the patients in the hospital, but he didn't discover anything. For two months, patients left and new ones came. Apart from getting to know many different kinds of people, he didn't gain anything else.
Of course, it cannot be said that there was no gain at all. At least, from the origins of these admitted patients, it can be inferred that the military camp has expanded its rescue efforts to the entire province.
The best news in the past two months was that the Fog Stone glasses had finally gone into mass production. In the barracks, he began to see the guards on duty wearing them first.
Moreover, the military camp had joined forces with the military district of the neighboring province. He also heard this news from the wounded in the hospital. This meant that the strength of the military camp had increased again.
Chen Xu also realized that the war might be approaching.
According to his experience, in dreams, two to three months is a node. In the first dream, a typhoon came. In the second dream, the acid ant beast attacked. What will he face this time?
A few days later, he heard the news that robots were attacking in large numbers.
At this time, his feet were almost healed and he was able to walk, but he didn't dare walk for too long or exert too much force.
That morning, Chen Xu came to the hospital in a wheelchair as usual.
"Chen Xu, you go to the hospital every day. Are you really attracted to any of our colleagues? If so, just tell me and I will help you make the connection." A nurse who was familiar with him teased him when she saw him.
Before Chen Xu could say anything, another nurse said, "Don't talk nonsense. His wife is a beautiful woman. Don't make him kneel down in front of the keyboard at night."
As he spoke, a group of people burst into laughter.
Chen Xu smiled and didn't care. Bai Jinxuan had accompanied him once before, and since then, these nurses have been talking about her every day, and they have become accustomed to it.
He didn't even bother to clarify the misunderstanding. In the eyes of others, they lived together and had a three or four-year-old daughter. What else could they be but husband and wife? Woo——
Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded and everyone's face changed.
"It's an air raid alarm. Everyone, find cover on the spot." Someone yelled at the top of his voice.
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
A series of sounds rang out, which were the sounds of anti-aircraft guns.
Chen Xu's heart tightened, then relaxed, realizing that it had finally arrived.
In recent days, the authorities have been promoting the need to increase defenses against air strikes. Apparently, they have anticipated that the enemy's most likely means of launching an attack is air strikes.
However, he originally thought that even if there was an airstrike, it would most likely be at night. Unexpectedly, the robot was so reckless that it carried out an airdrop in broad daylight.
Even in the era of satellite and radar reconnaissance, airborne troops were still a very difficult offensive method to defend against. Not to mention that satellites and radars are no longer effective, and there is such a thick fog and extremely low visibility. It is simply impossible to defend against.
Boom!
There was a loud bang and a shell was dropped from the air, shaking the entire ground.
Chen Xu's heart also skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but worry about Bai Jinxuan.
Will she be okay?
With this explosion, the robots officially began their attack. This time, they were no longer using ordinary cold weapons, but were equipped with guns and cannons like humans.
Inside the hospital, everyone in the corridor huddled in the corner. Only Chen Xu did not move. He sat in a wheelchair, looking up at the door, holding a gun in his hand, as if waiting for something.
Boom.
Suddenly, the whole building shook, bricks and stones fell from overhead. People looked up and saw dust everywhere and someone was wailing.
When the dust settled a little, they saw that the second floor had been hit by a cannon/shell, which had blown up a big hole.
"Hurry up and save him." A doctor shouted loudly, and all the doctors and nurses took action.
Chen Xu wiped his forehead with his left hand, which was stained with a little blood. Just now, a small stone bullet flew over and brushed against his forehead, causing a slight scratch.
At this moment, the dense sound of artillery shells suddenly stopped.
Bang.
At the door, something heavy fell to the ground, and a piece of red cloth blocked the door. After a few seconds, the red cloth fell to the ground. It was the parachute cloth.
An all-metal mechanical leg, accompanied by a faint white mist, walked in. Then, a two-meter-tall robot with a silver-white metallic luster appeared. Its eyes glowed with fluorescent green light, and it held up a machine gun in its hand.
Everyone stared blankly at the robot that exuded a dangerous aura, and was completely terrified.
Bang, bang, bang…
At this moment, gunshots suddenly rang out, and the fluorescent green light of the robot's two eyes burst out. Its movements paused for a moment, and its hands fell weakly. With a bang, it knelt on its knees and hit its head heavily on the ground. A cloud of dust rose.
At this time, everyone hadn't reacted yet, and just stared at the figure sitting in the wheelchair. He threw the gun in his hand to the ground, and the wheelchair drove towards the robot that fell to the ground.
"Chen Xu..." The nurse who had teased Chen Xu just now couldn't help but call out.
Chen Xu bent down, pulled out a machine gun from the robot, checked the gun magazine, and said, "What are you waiting for? Kill them."
