flying switch

Like a dream library, seven o'clock in the morning.

People chat in low voices, walk busy, and disperse to various positions to start "working".They come from near the alley bar, from near the Martian area, or from near the soot area.In fact, except for the few hunters in the soot area, the rest of them have already lost their territory, all of which are occupied by T, and they are homeless.In order to give them a stable place to rest, MOON worked overtime and spent some time arranging them into Rumeng, at least on the surface they have a reasonable identity to stay in Rumeng day and night.

The guiding robot designed by Alai guides the way in various areas, and he himself is busy modifying the instruments of each position according to the newcomers. All the things that cannot be changed in a short time are recorded in the list. This is his main work for the next two days. . Like him, MOON travels among the newcomers, checks their information and records it, so that Rumeng's authority can also be extended to them.

The Alley Bar will be 100% scrapped after this battle, and I hope Rumeng Rushu will temporarily become the second generation of Alley Bar.

The crowd was bustling and scattered underfoot.Ice Archer sat alone on the top of the sculpture, and compared to the square word "dream", he looked very small.Holding the flame flower brooch in his palm, he stared blankly at the rising fiery red sun.

Moon passed by Wuzhong and [-], followed [-]'s gaze to see Wuzhong, and followed Wuzhong's gaze to see Ice Shooter.She was silent for a moment, then walked towards Wu Zhong: "Your friend?"

Zhong Rong suddenly came back to his senses: "...Maybe it is."

Moon and [-] quickly exchanged glances, she cleared her throat, "Maybe you can talk to him?"

Zhong Rong looked at her puzzled: "Me?"

"Well," Moon saw that [-] didn't look disgusted, and continued, "Many of the members of the Swift Gang have companions, and he is the only one. The Fire Gang recovered after a while. I ran over to the statue after I assigned him a job, and sat there for an hour with that expression — there's no way it's recovered. He needs to talk to someone."

Zhong Rong was silent.

Qian Shuichong wrapped his arms around his shoulders at the right time: "I have to go to the [-]nd floor, do you want to come together?"

The [-]nd floor is parallel to the top of the sculpture, which is also the number of floors where the ice shooter works, from where it can easily climb to the top of the sculpture.

Zhong Rong shook his toes and did not refuse: "Let's go."

Moon was handed over by [-] with a "relief" look, first he smiled, then he became worried again when he saw the expression of Bing Bing shooter from the corner of his eye.

Forget it, leave it to those in the know.She still had to find a chance to study the mysterious new treasure that hadn't appeared.

Maybe Z knows?

"Alai," MON grabbed Alai who was running past, "Did you see Z?"

Alai wiped the sweat off his brow: "No. Shall I shout for you?"

MOON shook his head, and helped Alai straighten his folded collar: "Shall we take a break?"

Alai grinned: "It will be fine soon. Someone called me, hey! I'll go first, see you later!"

Moon chuckled, watching him hop away like a rabbit.Alai disappeared around the corner, Moon's eyes sank, and he turned to observe the hunter in the bar area of ​​the alley.When those people came to her, they explained that they had known Z for a long time, and they also greeted Z well on the battlefield in the Mars area. MOON checked their information and found that most of them are old hunters living near the alley bar.

Unlike the teammates who stayed with Z in the previous game, these people are somewhat like Z's subordinates.This is very strange. Although a young player is very good for her age, how can a group of old players regard her as a leader?Moreover, it doesn't feel right to say that they are leaders. These old players are a bit like elders to Z, with pride and a desire to protect.

Z's identity made MOON suspicious. She felt that Z was not only an excellent flying player, but also had another unusual identity.

The group of old hunters talked and laughed, gesturing their latest weapons on the sofa in the large rest area of ​​the library, turning the rest area into an alley bar, and seemed to see those familiar private rooms and bars in a trance.

Moon blinked, dispelled those subconscious suspicions, picked up the work, turned and left this place.

Everyone has secrets, but that doesn't stop them from being friends.Among friends, prying into secrets is not a good behavior.What's more, they now have overlapping goals - defeating T, regaining the freedom of the flying switch, friends are comrades-in-arms, and they may have a day when they can be honest with each other.

Frost Archer stroked the lines of the flame flower brooch, and when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching him, he lazily didn't want to say anything.The people behind him didn't seem to want to speak, they just stared at him with burning eyes.The ice shooter tugged at the corner of his stiff mouth, stubbornly not looking back, and stalemate with the person behind him.

Qian Shuichong looked at the two people who were inexplicably deadlocked, sighed softly, then walked back to Zhong Rong, and shouted at the ice shooter: "Ice!"

The ice shooter trembled, but still turned his back to them.Qian Shuichong patted Zhong Rong on the shoulder, signaling him to walk from the ladder to the sculpture.

Zhong Rong quietly walked to the side of the ice shooter, and sat down cross-legged.

The air of silence spread, time ticked, and the ice shooter couldn't hold back.He turned his head to look at Zhong Rong who was looking at the sun seriously: "...don't you say something?"

"say what?"

"?" The ice shooter was incredulous, "Brother, you didn't come up just to watch the sun, did you?"

Fortunately, Zhong Rong shook his head, and he said honestly, "I'm here to comfort you."

Ice Shooter: "...then you are talking."

Zhong Rong: "I'm looking for a topic. I've never comforted anyone."

Ashe:"?"

Zhong Rong: "Did I say the wrong thing?"

The ice shooter's expression was tangled: "You have never comforted anyone, how did you fall in love?"

"I don't know..." Zhong Rong was taken aback, "Wait, I'm not in a relationship."

Ice Archer looked even more shocked than he: "Aren't you and [-] arguing just to cover up that you are a couple? You must have some cover in order to sneak in."

"...We are not lovers," Zhong Rong turned his head, "Also, he is actually [-], and I am Wu Zhong. We are both hunters, and we are on the same team as Moon Alai."

Frost Archer tilted his head: "Well... so you are the ones holding the treasure?"

Zhong Rong didn't deny it, he lowered his head: "Sorry."

Ice Archer sighed: "Okay, I've heard about your team's deeds. Our gang also broadcast the drone incident before the server was shut down. In addition, we can survive this time with the help of you guys." Come down, so I feel that I have no position to accuse you... At that time, Nisi dragged me out to watch the broadcast."

He paused, eyebrows drooping: "Do you think they will come back? Nisi is the boss."

"I don't know," Zhong Rongcheng said, "but I think they will come back."

"Their account is deactivated, and the remains of the data are in the Mars area, where there is still the Swift Gang, so they have to start all over again," Ice Shooter said in a low voice, "If I lose so much, I won't be online."

The sun covered him, causing his shadow to fall from the dream word.

Zhong Rong looked at his shadow: "Then why are you sitting here?"

Frost Archer was stunned like someone who had been exposed. After a long while, he lowered his head and stroked the flame flower in his hand, then changed the subject: "...Actually, when I first played Flying Switch, I didn't want to be a hunter. My parents are very busy with work. We move a lot, so I’m always alone in real life, I don’t want to be alone in the game, I want to meet friends, I want to be close to them like brothers and sisters.”

"At that time there were already many gangs. I didn't want to go to the largest or the smallest, so I chose the Agni gang in the middle. I didn't expect," he chuckled, "I chose a home for myself. Agni Gang is a family, and you know, I spent the happiest half a year of my life here."

Zhong Rong listened quietly, [-] was busy as far as he could see, Alai ran downstairs until his curly red hair was disheveled, and Moon yawned in the middle of a pile of pages.

He thought, he understood what the ice shooter meant, and he understood how he felt.

From that auction venue... no, from that competition three years ago, he has already embarked on a new path with light and warmth at the end.With the close connection and fighting side by side these days, he now completely trusts the three companions. For him, these three people...

Also home.

You can laugh, you can trust, you can lean on, you can know that there is someone beside or behind him at all times.

[-] noticed his gaze and waved to him; Alai jumped up and showed him the snack machine beside him, and asked him if he would like a donut; Turn around, worrying about the situation.

Zhong Rong blinked slowly, pursed his lips and smiled.

After the ice shooter finished talking a lot, seeing Zhong Rong in a daze, he closed his open mouth and sighed lightly.He went back to the original topic: "...I'm sitting here looking at the sun. The direction of the sun is the Mars area. I can't go back to that place now, so I watched it for a long time. But I can't see Mars from here district."

"This is not the end," Zhong Rong couldn't understand his tone of resignation, "The Mars area doesn't always belong to the Swift Gang. As long as you get the remaining treasures, that place can be returned to you. Those of your companions, They will not be willing to give up their home, and the place will come back to you sooner or later, as long as you don't give it up."

Frost Archer looked at him fixedly: "You really think so?"

"Well," Zhong Rong nodded, "and you are not alone. You also have companions from the Fire Gang, and allies in this library."

The smile in Ice Shooter's eyes slowly spread to his face: "Yes. Thanks, brother."

Knowing that they had returned to the relationship they had when they were in the plant room, Zhong Rong smiled at him wordlessly in response.

"Ice!" Someone called him.Zhong Rong and Bing Bing shooter turned their heads together, and saw the little man standing beside him when he sang the song of the Fire Gang, the little man looked at Bing Bing shooter with a wrinkled face: "Don't you dazzle your eyes here?"

Frost Archer laughed out loud: "Don't shake, squeamish!"

"Looking for a beating!" The little man waved his fist without deterrence, "Lili asked me to call you, the curator Moon said that we can prepare lunch, she is going to make a traditional food for the celebration that she didn't have time to eat, she asked You choose one."

The ice shooter looked at him, and replied after a while: "I'll be there in 5 minutes, let's discuss together."

The little man laughed: "Got it."

Ice Archer looked at his back: "No Bell?" He turned his head, "After that, on your way to find the treasure, if you need it, come to the Fire Gang. I promise, they will all agree to help you with me."

Zhong Rong stretched out a hand: "On the day you go home, don't forget to sing."

Frost Archer held his hand and said with a smile, "Have you fallen in love with my singing voice?"

"I plan to let you sing at Rumeng's gate every day, so that you don't have to worry about enemies," Zhong Rong raised an eyebrow, "because they are all scared away by your singing."

Frostshooter laughed. "Come on. I gotta go, Riley's temper . . . as far as I know, not very good."

Zhong Rong waved him away.Frost Archer walked down the ladder, remembered something, and turned around again: "No bell?"

Zhong Rong looked up: "Huh?"

"I said before that the hunter is always alone in the game," he said. "I was wrong. Not all hunters are like that."

Zhong Rong was silent for a moment: "When Ah Huo and Nisi come back, take me to meet them."

"Of course," Ice Shooter waved his hand, "When you get the last treasure, remember to mention the name of the Fire Gang, I want to cut that part to show off to my parents."

The news in the group was updated, Qian Shuichong looked down.

MOON: How is it?

The corner of his mouth curled up: better than expected.

A familiar voice called him, and he raised his head, seeing Zhong Rong who had no serious expression on his face, his smile widened, and he stepped forward to meet him.

The sun was shining brightly, like a harbinger of a smooth future.
