Fruit Man [Unlimited]

The library door opened again.

"Aunt Beth~" A chubby teenager almost bumped into Lai Ge who was about to go out.

The librarian, who was engrossed in reading the electronic magazine, raised his head. As soon as he looked at the person, his face was immediately filled with the amiable smile of the elder who saw the younger generation he liked: "Little Hansen, you are here. Why are you leaving school so early today?"

The chubby boy named Hansen ran to the counter, lay down on the table, winked at Aunt Beth, and whispered, "Something went wrong."

Aunt Beth looked around, there were few people in the library, and only a few were in there, and she immediately lowered her voice and asked, "What happened?"

Lai Ge also stopped curiously while holding the little French fries.

Little Hansen covered his mouth, and his voice was very low, but it could be heard clearly by people within one meter: "My dad came back early, arrived home in the morning, and came to pick me up from school in the afternoon. Besides me, there are other Many students whose fathers or elder brothers work at George Mine were picked up. Just now I saw me and other students come back, and someone picked up the children again. I think the school may not be dismissed normally today, and it will definitely be later mess up."

Aunt Beth was startled, "Do you know why your dad came back so early and why they went to pick you up from school?"

Little Hansen was obviously a little gossip, and he said with surprise: "Aunt Beth, don't you see? There are a lot of strangers in this town, and they all look like miners from the George mine, but I have never I've seen them. I've heard...they're all slave miners locked up by Black George, and our newspaper is going to look into it,"

"Hush!" Aunt Beth raised her finger and looked around again. She always felt as if someone was watching them, but there was no one around.

"Let me ask what's going on." Aunt Beth clicked on her personal terminal, projected, and what popped up was a chat group similar to a WeChat group.

Aunt Beth crackled and typed—voice is sometimes inconvenient when asking secrets.

Xiao Hansen, the editor-in-chief and sole reporter of the Town Middle School Newspaper, looked at the content with his head turned. Aunt Beth patted his head and stuck out his tongue. He also opened a group of classmates and started to communicate.

Lai Ge looked at the faces of the big and the young, and suddenly realized that the policewoman An Ting asked him to come to the library, maybe not to ask him to come to look for electronic materials, but to look for Aunt Beth?

After asking in the group, Aunt Beth shared her news with Little Hansen.

"There is indeed a situation."

Little Hansen raised his head: "What's the situation? Are they really imprisoned slave labor?"

Aunt Beth nodded, "Those people are indeed of unknown origin. They asked the sheriff for the personal terminal that was taken away by the black-hearted George, and at the same time asked to see a lawyer."

Little Hansen clenched his fists and said excitedly: "As expected! I knew that Black-hearted George was not a good guy, but our town..."

"Keep your voice down!" Aunt Beth scolded in a low voice, lowering her voice: "Do you want to disappear?"

Little Hansen stuck out his tongue again, "I tried to send a message on the world network just now, but I couldn't send it. Aunt Beth, can you contact your lawyer friend outside?"

Aunt Beth frowned, telling the fat boy to be calm. After a while, Aunt Beth changed her face.

"What's wrong?" Little Hansen became nervous.

Aunt Beth frowned, "The message can't be sent out. I checked the network just now. Now only the local area network in our town is still available, but the connection with the outside world...is all cut off."

"What?!" Little Hansen almost jumped up, "Black-hearted George can do this? I don't believe it. If he can do this, would he still bribe the mayor and the sheriff?"

Aunt Beth covered the fat boy's mouth, "Please keep your voice down!"

The little fat man danced and danced, indicating that his voice would definitely be quiet.

The old and the young got together head to head and whispered.

They were guessing who had cut off contact with the outside world and why.

"Could it be the mayor or the sheriff? If those miners are really imprisoned slave labor, it will be a big scandal if it gets out, and our town may become a ghost town where no one dares to come again. " said the little fat man.

Aunt Beth snorted coldly: "Even now, few people dare to come, since our town every nineteen..."

Aunt Beth suddenly shook her body violently and poked her personal terminal desperately. People who didn't know thought she was crazy, but in fact she was just checking the time.

Little Hansen was frightened: "Aunt Beth? Calm down."

Aunt Beth couldn't calm down. She looked at the time reminder she set, and her whole body seemed to be stiff. After a long time, she murmured: "Here it is again..."

Little Hansen grabbed her hand and asked eagerly, "Aunt Beth, what's going on? What do you know? Tell me quickly, don't make me hungry~"

Aunt Beth picked up the cup on the table and took a big sip of water. After calming down for a while, she touched Little Hansen's head and said as if talking to herself: "This kind of thing can't be done because you are still young. Just keep it from you. It's wrong to keep it from everyone."

"Aunt Beth?"

Aunt Beth seemed to have made some decision, she pulled out the date reminder she made on the terminal to show the fat boy.

"Look at the date."

"What's wrong with this date?" Little Hansen glanced at the date, "December 12? Is it the day after tomorrow? Regular reminder? Whose birthday is it? What does the danger written on it mean?"

Aunt Beth pursed her lips: "On December 19, 12 years ago, one, no, many very terrible things happened in our town."

Little Hansen opened his mouth wide, "Why don't I know? I never heard from my parents. Neither did my grandpa and grandma."

"That's because everyone has been silenced, and your mother is from outside. Your father and your grandfather dare not tell your grandmother and your mother about the inside story of the town. Knowing how difficult it is for a man in the town to marry a wife Is it?" Aunt Beth rubbed her forehead, "I have to find out if the road outside the town is blocked again."

"Blockade? Aunt Beth, don't scare me." After all, little Hansen was young, and his face turned pale when he was frightened by Aunt Beth who was different from usual.

Aunt Beth stroked his hair pityingly, "Don't be afraid, this time we will not let the children have an accident anyway, absolutely! And they should be prepared."

Little Hansen called softly: "Aunt Beth, I don't understand! You should make it clear."

Aunt Beth ignored the fat boy, but was contacting someone.

Aunt Beth exchanged a few words with the other party, and immediately covered her eyes.

Little Hansen looked at her worriedly.

Aunt Beth let go of her hand, "The road is broken, and our town has become an isolated island again."

Little Hansen had a lot of questions. Aunt Beth gently covered the boy's mouth and pushed the boy: "You go home first, let your parents and your grandfather and grandmother go to the supermarket to buy food as quietly as possible. The more the better, and prepare as much burning material as possible, and then your whole family should not be separated, and all of you will live together in your grandpa's house. His house is the strongest. You don't have to worry, you just go back and tell your dad about 19 years When it arrives, your father and your grandfather will understand what it means."

Little Hansen turned his head: "Aunt Beth? I can send them a message."

Aunt Beth said firmly: "Not enough messages, it's dangerous outside now, and accidents may happen at any time, you have to go home quickly. Don't worry, I will go to your grandpa's house to find you at night, and I will tell you everything I know. "

Little Hansen believed it. Aunt Beth's family lived next to his grandfather's house, and the two families had always been good neighbors.

After the fat boy left, Aunt Beth quickly sent messages to her family and people close to her.

And the town police who saw that scene at that time also had their relatives and friends. Although their superiors refused to tell them, they couldn't help but tell their most important people, and the most important people had their own relatives and friends, plus a large number of miners. When they entered the town, they would also talk about it, so it didn't take long for the news that the town was blocked to spread rapidly.

The number of people running to supermarkets and shops is increasing.

Many small food and other small businesses at home closed their doors quickly, and no one would knock them open, and secretly moved all the food materials in the stores and warehouses to safer places.

One family after another began to gather together.

The town is not in chaos yet, but the atmosphere of tension has already permeated.

The miners who ate and drank in the store also felt it, because those stores were about to close in the afternoon, and when they asked the reason, they only said that something big happened at home.

The miners also noticed that the locals who were also eating, drinking and chatting in the store also seemed to have received some news. Most of them showed panic and checked out and left the store one after another.

The miners had nowhere to go, and some alert ones, seeing that they still had money in their personal terminals, ran to the supermarket to buy water.

Some people were puzzled, and said that the town said it would provide them with free drinking water, so why did they have to buy it themselves?

Miner leaders such as Jebri and Ferrie also noticed the changes in the townspeople, and they divided into several waves.A group of people went to ask the mayor and sheriff how to arrange them.A group of people collected funds with everyone and went to the supermarket to buy water together.

But some miners felt that Jebri and the others simply did nothing, and they were unwilling to spend money or buy water.

Jebri did not persuade these miners, but only recorded the names of those who were unwilling to contribute or contribute.

In the library, without the urging of Aunt Beth, the few townspeople who were killing time in the library received contact from their relatives and friends, and left the library one by one in a hurry.

Aunt Beth finally broadcast to ask if there was anyone else, and after asking three times, she locked the library and left.

Lai Ge followed her, and the aunt obviously knew a lot of things.

Aunt Beth went first to a clinic where her husband worked and was the only licensed physician in town.They are a decent family in a small town, and no one will easily trouble them.

"What's the matter? The patients who made an appointment didn't come." Aunt Beth's husband, Dr. Bertram, is a man of elegance both in appearance and temperament. Because of the lack of doctors in the town, he even taught himself to be a dentist. And obstetrics and gynecology knowledge, almost any disease in the small town.

Aunt Beth held her husband's hand, but hesitated to speak.

Mr. Bertram showed a gentle smile and kissed his wife on the cheek: "Honey, you seem to be frightened, would you like to tell me?"

Aunt Beth nodded, "You let Nancy and the others get off work first, we will go back early today."

"Okay." Mr. Bertram asked all the nurses in the clinic to leave work early.

The nurses were also a little restless. When they heard that they could get off work, they all left in a hurry.

Only one girl named Nancy was left. She was an orphan. She was only 19 years old this year. She was supposed to be at the age of college, but she had no money and was unwilling to sell her parents' house. She started doing odd jobs in the town when she was 16. .It was not easy for Bertram and Beth to see the girl, so they let her work in the clinic, taught her nursing and medical knowledge, and encouraged her to go to an online professional nursing school and save money to take professional exams.

Nancy is also very grateful to the couple, and usually treats them as elders.

"Aunt Beth, Mr. Bertram, what happened?" Nancy asked worriedly.

Aunt Beth looked at the girl with sympathy, "Nancy, you go back first, remember to buy more food and fuel that can keep the temperature, and then pack your clothes, whether it is food or clothes, the more you pack, the better you will be." Good. Bertram will pick you up at your house in the evening. During this time, if you don’t mind, you can stay at our house.”

Aunt Beth raised her hand, "I know you have a lot of problems, just like my husband, he only came to our town 14 years ago, and he doesn't know the situation. When you come over at night, I will tell you everything. Including the real cause of your parents' death."

Bertram looked at his wife in surprise.

Needless to say how shocked Nancy was.

Lai Ge wandered around the town in the afternoon. He didn't go to buy water and fuel in the supermarket with the townspeople. He stored a lot in his space warehouse and game backpack, enough to feed three people for more than three years.

He was listening to the townspeople and observing the actions of the miners.

Later, he went to follow the sheriff and the mayor, and was lucky enough to hear what they said about the town's food reserves.

The sheriff demanded that the supermarket be closed, and the townspeople and miners should no longer be allowed to buy a lot to survive.

The mayor disagreed: "That will only cause more panic among the townspeople! At least they can't be closed before the normal end of work today. I have already told them that as long as the shelves in the supermarket are sold out, they will not open new stores. The stock in the mine will not be moved, let alone the stock we keep in the mine. And as long as the grain and fuel in the mine are still there, we don’t have to worry about anything.”

What the sheriff wanted to say.

The mayor interrupted him: "I have read the historical records. The longest period of isolation is six months and 22 days, the shortest is five months and one day, and the average is six months. And we can store enough food and fuel Provide all the townspeople in our town to consume for one year. The most important thing now is to stabilize people's hearts, and we must not let everyone mess up. According to past history, it is not terrible to be isolated from the world. What is terrible is that people's hearts are not controlled. Turned into a beast!"

The sheriff took a deep breath: "In addition to the George mine, there are Laobaitou and three other small mines. I'm afraid they haven't received any news. In addition, I have arranged for the town police to go to the farm, but the town police are not enough. We need to activate the Town Guard."

The mayor frowned, "You came to me because you wanted to activate the town guard?"

The sheriff said patiently: "Mayor, what time is this? Look at the out-of-town miners in the town. They are all full of anger. These people have hatred for George and our town. Now, the town has to be locked down for half a year, so what will happen to these people eating, drinking and messing with each other during this half a year? They are all energetic and middle-aged men, if their demands cannot be met, sooner or later they will become thugs that are not good for the townspeople."

The mayor said nothing.

The sheriff said sullenly: "I know you are disgusted with some of my actions, and you have always wanted to remove me, but unfortunately we are two systems, and you can't move me for the time being. I said this not to quarrel with you, I just want to say that you may not like some of the things I have done, but my heart for this town is not fake. Like you, I don’t want to make the town mess up, let alone let the innocent and kind townspeople suffer. And at times like this, innocent and kind people are the most vulnerable, they... need protection!"

The mayor clenched his fists, terribly tangled.The sheriff himself has a lot of power. He has been suppressing the town guard in front of him, and he doesn't want the sheriff to take over, because he doesn't want him to have too much power.

Some people have too much power and really don't know what terrible things he can do.

But now, if the town guard is not activated, the town's security force will not be enough.

Put him in charge of the town guard?The mayor knew very well that he was good at managing civil affairs and administration, and if he was asked to manage a group of guards who were always looking for trouble, then he didn't have to do other things.

"Okay, activate the Town Guard."

At the same time, as long as players in this game and this timeline have received a unified main task:

"Attention players, the conditions are met, and the main task line A is triggered! Players are asked to make a choice, whether they are willing to protect the existing residents of Stone Forest Town in the next six months? The choice time is five seconds, and giving up will be regarded as automatic." Choose the main mission line B. Now, please make a choice, five, four, three..."

Lai Ge wanted to scold her mother.You told me the content of the B-line mission!But line A is to protect the townspeople, if you don't accept this task, then the task of line B is very obvious.

"I choose A." Lai Ge considered himself a normal person. Without knowing what the B-line mission was, he would rather choose the super troublesome mission of protecting the townspeople.

The immature voice of French fries sounded: "Congratulations player, you have chosen line A of the main task. From now on, please protect the existing residents of Stone Forest Town for six months. The minimum number of protection is all excluding players. 60.00% of the residents, if the task is successful, the base value of all players who receive the task can choose any item + 1 point. For every 1% increase, the base value of all players who receive the task can choose any item and add [-] point.

On the contrary, if the minimum protection amount is lower than 60.00%, the main task fails, and the basic value of all players who receive the task can choose any one -1 point.For every 1% reduction, the base value of all players who receive the task can choose any item and then -[-] point.

Regardless of success or failure, the maximum plus or minus points shall not exceed 5 points. "

Lai Ge has a big head.

The rewards in this game are very generous, the minimum base value of +1 point may seem small, but it is actually more effective than any panacea.

His mental strength can be increased to 9.7, how many good things did he use?Coupled with the help of Lao Laige's spiritual power, he was able to jump to such a high value in a short period of time.

In his previous life, Lao Laige, who was at the same time as him, did not have such a high mental strength.

The rewards are good, but what corresponds to the good rewards is the difficulty of the game.Lai Ge thought about the content of this mission carefully, but couldn't laugh.

There are three biggest difficulties in this task.

Difficulty one, the trust of the residents of this town.Without the trust of the residents, how can you make them listen to your command and believe that you will lead them to the way of life?

The second difficulty is that it is difficult to cooperate with players.This task is not issued to one person alone, but to all players who receive the task.In other words, this is a mission that requires concerted efforts. If some players are secretly holding back, or rely on others to complete the mission, then the result of this mission is likely to be a huge pit.

The third difficulty is also the one that makes Lai Ge's headache the most. The main task of this game's line B is very likely to help one or some existences eliminate the residents of the town.

Now Lai Ge only hopes that there is no player who chooses line B, and it is best for everyone to choose line A.

But Lai Ge, who has played online games, knows very well that the vast majority of players like to be different. Just look at the pros and cons in the game. Usually there are more players on the villain side, and you can see how "playable" the players are.

Although it is replaced by a real life, most people will not mess around.But there are always a few normal people who don't take the usual path, and Lao Laige's experience also tells him that many players in this live broadcast game really play the game as a game. In their eyes, everyone except themselves With some relatives and friends, the natives of the game field are NPCs.

Duan Li, Brother Dao, where are you guys?

Lai Ge looked at the sky and decided to go out to see if there were any green plants.

It is also very speechless, although this small town is not big, but there is no plant that can be called a tree, and it is winter in the town, even the flowers and plants grown on the balcony can't see the shadow now.

Is the tree mentioned by Duan Li a real tree, a picture, a text, or some kind of symbol?

Snapped!A red lantern floating above the town hall was suddenly shot down.

A stern look appeared in Lai Ge's eyes, who did it?

Crack, crack!Two more times in succession, the last two red lanterns also fell down.

Lai Ge ran over quickly, "Little French Fries, take over all the monitoring equipment in this town."

"Okay." After 2 minutes, Little Potato Fries said without a trace of pride: "I succeeded in taking over. If it wasn't for the limitation of the game mastermind, I could still be faster."

"Good job! Help me see who knocked down the lantern just now."
