Different World Online

In the early morning, sunlight shines into the tower through the head-sized observation holes;

Just like yesterday, Shudeman opened his eyes on time and lifted the sleeping bag that was casually covering his body;

"Mr. Andrew, you will be on guard during the day today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pastor Andrew, who was sleeping beside him, opened his eyes, sat up and nodded slightly;

Just as Shudeman was about to call on the others to get up, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the stairs;

A few seconds later, Old Peter appeared in front of Schudman, carrying Steve with two huge dark circles under his eyes;

"Pete, you should be at your post!" Shudeman frowned slightly.

"Relax, boss, look what I prepared for you!"

As he spoke, old Pete, with an excited look on his face, pushed Steve in front of Schudman.

"The Ultimate Scout is definitely more suitable for us than the Legendary Wanderer!

Come on, Steve, show the captain how to do it, just... just pull out a strand of Thorin's beard!"

Hearing this, the dwarf Thorin, who was still sleepy, suddenly had his eyes wide open, and without thinking, he crossed his arms across his chest and hugged his precious beard;

"No, I refuse." Steve shook his head righteously.

However, the next second, his figure blurred for a moment, and when it became clear again, there was a piece of black charcoal in his hand;

Seeing this scene, Shudeman frowned subconsciously.

He, the legendary paladin of the God of Suffering, actually didn't notice anything unusual!

Not only him, but everyone who had just woken up beside the campfire was also stunned. It's not like they haven't seen wanderers who appear and disappear mysteriously before, but those guys who made them wary were at least legends;

But what about the person in front of me?

A few days ago, I was still a complete newbie who didn’t even know what a profession was;

For a moment, the members of Shudeman's team looked at each other, exchanging glances quickly;

They knew that Steve could make his body invisible and dodge attacks, but now this kid could actually perform shadow jumping in sufficient light, which was a bit unreasonable.

If this guy can join the team, then when we perform missions in the future, at least we don't have to stay on alert the whole time like before.

Thinking of this, the team members turned their attention to their captain Shudeman;

Seeing this, Shudeman's scarred face wrinkled again.

He didn't think much, or rather, as the captain, he thought more than anything else;

The first is the alignment issue. The members of their team are generally in the lawful alignment;

The second issue is the issue of faith. He, the priest Andrew, and the dwarf Thorin are all team members with strong faith. How to deal with people who have no faith or ancestral faith is a big problem.

Never underestimate the conflict of faith!

Because if this kind of thing is not handled properly, it is very likely to destroy the entire team;

Finally, it’s about safety. If Steve becomes his teammate, he will never let this kid die in front of him;

What about Steve?

Can this kid avoid running away from the battlefield?

The more he thought about it, the more concerns Shudeman had.

Just when his brows were about to frown together, Old Pete suddenly spoke with a hint of meaning:

"Captain Shudeman, Steve is only first rank, the only position he can hold is scout."

Yup!

Shudeman nodded silently.

I was indeed overthinking it. Steve was only at level one, so there was no need for him to participate in the battle.

In this case, the only thing left is whether he can respect the beliefs of others.

Thinking of this, Shudeman decided to let this kid join his team temporarily;

If it is not suitable, then after this mission is over, taking him back to the safer Holy Shield City in the rear would be considered the most humane thing to do.

Seeing Shudeman nod, Steve breathed a sigh of relief.

To him, this is a real world;

Without food, he would starve to death;

Without clothing, he would be dehydrated by the hot sun;

Without reliable teammates, he would be attacked endlessly by the bugs hiding under the sand dunes;

If there was no safe shelter, he would even have to sit in a horse stance with his belt in his hands when he defecated.

This is the Zerg battlefield, the front line of the multiverse's resistance to the Third Scourge.

To him, being alive is everything.

......

Under the blazing sun, the Shudeman team left the sentry tower again and began a routine patrol.

High-level Zerg cannot cross the front-line battlefield, and those that escape to the warning area are usually low-level Zerg;

Once these bugs leave the range of the Zerg Blade Queen's psychic field, they will turn into mindless beasts that kill anyone they see.

Therefore, the mission of the Shudeman team is not complicated. They just need to patrol according to the routine and kill the lone bugs.

This time, all members of the Shudeman team were dispatched, except for Pastor Andrew who stayed behind to guard the sentry tower.

Steve and Old Pete walked in front of the team, keeping a distance of two to three hundred meters from the team;

“Steve, a qualified wanderer should remember clearly in his notebook how to conduct reconnaissance;

But you must remember that only by being able to adapt to changing circumstances can a wanderer stay alive.

This is the Zerg battlefield. Our opponents are bugs, cold-blooded creatures. The desert and sunlight will rapidly heat up their shells.

So when the sun is blazing, they always like to hide under the sand to cool off, waiting for an opportunity to attack any creature passing by on the sand.

At this time, you can't rely too much on your eyes.

When dealing with enemies beneath the ground, your hearing and sense of touch are what you should trust."

As Old Pete was talking, Steve suddenly stopped and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Hush, Mr. Pete, we seem to be being watched."

Hearing this, Old Pete, who had been chattering non-stop, had a flash of appreciation in his eyes for a moment, and then he asked as if testing someone;

"So what do you decide to do now?"

"What to do? Of course run away!" Steve rolled his eyes and answered without hesitation.

This old man is talking nonsense!

Who can I beat now?

Use the little dagger you gave me to give Chong Chong a pedicure?

Muttering in his heart, Steve patted Old Pete's shoulder gently and whispered:

"Mr. Pete, you are old, how about you run first and I will cover you?"

"Get lost!" Old Pete rolled his eyes subconsciously.

"Do you really think I'm stupid? These bugs just like to hit moving targets!"

Steve didn't fool old Pete, so he smiled nonchalantly, turned around and ran to the side;

As his feet landed, a pair of huge sickles broke out from the sand and headed straight for Steve's waist and abdomen.

At the same time, 200 meters behind Steve and Old Pete, Captain Shudeman stopped the dwarf Thorin who was rushing to help and said calmly:

"It's just a crawler. Let Steve handle it."

If a wanderer runs to the main group behind when he encounters danger, it is better not to have such a wanderer;

A qualified scout needs to judge the magnitude of the danger and understand the strength of the team;

If the scouts bring back dangers that exceed the team's ability to bear, the consequences will be disastrous.

He is a qualified captain, an experienced team core, not an NPC who only knows a few fixed lines;
