This Game Is Too Realistic

About a year ago, when the church was first built in the settlement, Zhao Yinyin could hear the voice of an old man in her mind from time to time.

At first she thought it was her hallucination, but later she found out that it was not the case. He would not only answer her doubts, but also occasionally teach her some knowledge she had never known.

When she was very young, her grandfather passed away, and sometimes she felt that the old man was always very kind just like her grandfather.

Later, the old man told her that he was the Holy Son, and that he was enshrined in that church.

Yinyin has no doubts about what he said, rather she has already suspected that his identity may be that Lord Son.

After all, besides the real god, who else can be as ubiquitous and omnipotent as him, communicating with her in her mind?

From then on, she began to confide her troubles to the Holy Son unreservedly.

Gods don't lie, let alone talk about mortal troubles.

There is no one more suitable to confide in than him...

as usual.

Yin Yin, who huddled in the empty room on the second floor of the annex, told him all her troubles, including the conflicts with her good friends, including the grief of her family being ruined and her family's death, and her loss of helplessness in the future.

Wiping away her tears, Yin Yin muttered in a low voice.

...I'm sorry, you may find it boring after talking so much on your own.

There was a long silence.

The kind voice slowly drifted into her mind.

How come, my child.

Although it was just a word of consolation that wasn't encouraging, a weak but strong smile appeared on Yinyin's face, and she cheered up a little.

After a while, she seemed to have made some kind of decision, and looked straight ahead with her eyes.

Sure enough, I should apologize to Xiao Yang...

Looking down at the little girl from an invisible place, Luo Gan smiled lightly.

Is it really a child?

He spends so much time worrying about such insignificant things, but he never does this, and he will do the things he has decided immediately.

If you don't want to do it, you don't have to.

Yin Yin tilted her head.

Why?

Luo Gan wanted to tell her, because all this was meaningless. People in this settlement will die soon, so what difference does it make if they do that kind of thing or not?

But after thinking about it, he didn't say that in the end.

Even animals in the sheep pen have the right to spend the last second happily. He doesn't kill for the sake of killing.

So he changed to a more gentle statement.

Time is a good medicine. It heals all wounds equally. Just be patient and everything will be fine.

Yinyin hugged her knees tightly, buried her chin in her knees, and muttered softly.

As long as it lasts long enough, everything will be fine.

Um.

The god guarding her nodded slightly. Although she couldn't see the man, she could be sure that he was doing this.

Yinyin believed him very much.

But she couldn't agree with this.

Because she remembered very clearly that when she was worrying about whether to help the lamb escape from this cage, he told herself.

After hesitating for a moment, she whispered.

But... didn't you tell me that there is no time to hesitate about many things, and the questions left for time to answer must be regrettable in the end?

...Hmmm?

Did I ever say that?

Facing the innocent girl, Luo Gan couldn't help thinking for a moment.

Among all the chess pieces he selected, this little girl was the youngest one, and also the most special one.

It's not because he has special feelings for her, it's just because she is different from other believers, she always confides to him every trivial matter and trouble in life in detail.

Most other people have respect for the gods, and feel honored that only they can communicate with the gods face to face.

Therefore, even Zhao Tianqian, who does not believe in the belief of the torch from the bottom of his heart, that is, the little girl's father, will show a humble and pious attitude when communicating with a higher existence like himself, and carefully consider every word .

And he himself took advantage of this reverence logically, using the face of the Son of God to communicate with these believers who only deserved to know the surface.

Occasionally, they use their identities to issue orders.

After all, although the chip has been implanted in their brains, he can't take over their bodies casually.

Completely take over the control of the body, only in the fugue.

And the little girl seemed to regard him as a confidant.

She naively believed that the gods would not talk about mortal affairs, so she told him almost everything.

Luo Gan acquiesced to her behavior.

Anyway, a few words of communication will not take up much computing power, and this chess piece may come in handy at critical times.

It was precisely because of this that during the day yesterday, he used the excuse of knowing a wonderful hiding place to encourage the little guy to go to the basement.

After all, even going crazy with other people cannot guarantee absolute safety. After all, there are a group of special guests in the manor.

But staying in that empty basement is absolutely safe.

But now it seems that I have done a superfluous thing, in order to let a chess piece live on the chessboard for a while, and put the whole plan on the risk that it shouldn't have.

If she hadn't gone to the basement, it might have taken the Alliance a while to find the lab in the basement of the annex.

No matter how useful this chess piece is, the experiment in this settlement has been completed. What's more, for her to survive, it's hard to say whether it's a real kindness.

Dying in a dream is painless, but if it falls into the hands of mutants, then life is truly worse than death.

Thinking of this, Luo Gan sighed lightly.

really……

My own practice is not enough.

Of course, what he cared more about was actually another thing, why he said something like The questions left for time to answer must be regrettable in the end.

Are you sorry?

That kind of thing can't happen to me alone.

They have paid enough on this road, and gave their all for their ideals at the last moment.

He has no chance of turning back.

I just think it's not good to run away...Master Shengzi? Seeing that the voice in her head hadn't appeared for a long time, Yin Yin asked nervously and carefully.

She has nothing left.

If even Master Shengzi ignored her, she might really be desperate.

Well, I'm... I'm just thinking, when did I say that sentence, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Luo Gan said with a soft smile.

A relieved smile appeared on Yinyin's face.

It's okay... You have to answer the prayers of many people every day. It doesn't matter if you come back later, as long as you are still here.

Seeing that the little girl was still worried about him, Luo Gan couldn't help smiling.

If she knew that it was she who controlled her father and was killed by those soldiers in front of the alliance, I don't know if she would still be able to laugh.

God's work is actually not as busy as you imagine.

Yin Yin tilted her head.

But wouldn't there be a lot of people praying to you?

He said in a gentle tone.

My children, most people don't really ask God's will. Before they pray to me, they already have their own answers in their hearts... All they need is someone to push them from behind, like There are actually very few children like you who leave everything to me to decide.

Hearing these words, Yinyin couldn't help but feel a little hot, and whispered in shame.

I'm sorry...to trouble you.

It's okay, I don't think you are a problem, it's better to say that I'm glad to see you grow. You always asked my opinion before, but today you make your own decision to reconcile with your friends, you have already It’s a good thing to have your own opinion.”

Yin Yin asked incomprehensibly.

Don't Gods want people to listen to you?

If everything was left to God to decide, I might really be overwhelmed.

He said this half-jokingly, and Luo Gan, who came back to his senses, suddenly clicked his tongue lightly.

After all, he denied himself.

But it was no wonder, he knew very well that the forerunners were not real gods, let alone the Holy Son, they just needed the clothes of the gods to do things that humans could not do.

Of course he was very pleased that the settlements here obeyed his will, but from the standpoint of an elder, he still hoped to teach this child more precious things.

Of course an obedient child is a good child, but a child will always be a child if she doesn't have her own opinion, and he hopes she has her own opinion, even if it is completely contrary to the teachings he preaches.

Perhaps it wasn't his words and deeds that contradicted him. Deep down in his heart, he didn't really want the little girl to die.

Let alone a living person.

Even if it is a flower planted in a pot, as long as you spend time watering it, everyone hopes that it will not wither.

Not counting those like-minded apostles, this is probably the most communication he has had with mortals since he entered the sanctuary.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Gan came up with a compromise.

That is to release this particular little lamb from the sheepfold.

Anyway, for him, one or two less is not a big problem, and the alliance is unlikely to rely on a single sample to research anything.

If you trust me, I can show you a way.

Yinyin nodded seriously.

Well! Tell me!

Luo Gan said slowly.

Give up everything here, seek asylum from the people of the alliance, and then leave this place of right and wrong completely. I think they will consider it for the sake of you as a child.

Yin Yin looked at him puzzled, with disbelief and surprise in her big eyes.

But... aren't the people from the Alliance bad guys? They killed my father, and I heard... they're going to tear down your church.

Looking at the little girl who was trying to prove that those people were villains, Luo Gan suddenly laughed out loud, almost crying.

Unfortunately, he no longer has that thing.

Until those surprised eyes turned into confusion, he slowly opened his mouth and continued.

Look, your age may not understand it, but you'll understand it when you're older...the things you're saying now don't matter at all.

Yin Yin stared at the empty space with her eyes wide open.

how come……

Without explaining to her, Luo Gan continued in a serious tone.

This settlement, and indeed all settlements in this land, are caught between two behemoths, and no matter what they choose, it will end badly. And you want to live , the only way is to stay away from here.”

Yinyin bit her lip, and managed to utter a word.

But why do you want to join the alliance... Can't you take me away?

Luo Gan's expression froze slightly, and after a long silence, he said ambiguously.

We still need a little time there...

It would be meaningless to drive her into another sheepfold. Even if the other pioneers would take care of her for his sake, the experiments that should be carried out would definitely be carried out step by step.

Confusion and incomprehension were written in Yinyin's eyes.

time?

Luo Gan nodded and said patiently.

Well... this is a huge project.

A new human being and a new society will take a long, long time to build. We will build this utopia as perfect as possible, and for this we need to give our lives, courage and determination. I know that in the future there will be Heaven, the whole world will, but not now... can you give me a little time?

He didn't know why he asked the child's permission, and he used a gentle soliciting tone.

In fact, he didn't need to do this, after all, everything was decided, even if she shook her head, she couldn't change the fate of this settlement.

But he did it anyway.

perhaps……

He was just trying to convince himself.

Yinyin looked at the empty place with half understanding, she nodded lightly, with a smile on her face.

It's ok...Although I don't understand it very well, you will definitely not harm Yinyin, right?

The air was quiet for a while.

After a while, there was a sound.

Well, I promise I won't hurt you...Thank you.

He didn't look into those innocent eyes, just left a word nonsense, and then hurried away without making a sound.

That smile made him feel a sting in his heart.

Although he had already given up on that thing.

This may be his only regret since entering the Sanctuary.

Sure enough, practice is not enough.

Although she didn't hear the sound of farewell, Yinyin could feel that he had left here.

Hey, she jumped off the chair, and she was about to go outside the house to find the lamb to solve the misunderstanding of last night, but she heard the floor outside the door creaking.

After all, this annex is an old house, and the wooden floor is just as old as it is.

She was slightly taken aback, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door, only to see that familiar face not far from the door.

The lamb looked at her blankly, holding a handful of chocolate candies in his hand, which was given to them by the brothers and sisters of the Alliance last night.

At that time, she kept Yinyin's share, but she never found a chance to give it away. It wasn't until when the blood was being drawn just now that Chen Yutong's sister stuffed it for her and asked her to share it with her good friends that she made up her mind to come here.

It's just that as soon as she walked to the door, she heard voices in the room...

... Yinyin?

lamb?

Yinyin stared at her blankly, her expression changed between panic and vigilance, as if she had done something wrong, she said in a daze, You...why are you here?

The brothers and sisters who came outside gave me some chocolates, and I want to give you some...

The lamb looked at her nervously, swallowed, and continued.

who are you talking to……

Yin Yin's face was slightly pale.

The Son of God told her that the people in the north must not know that she can communicate with him, otherwise, because of their hatred for the torch, they would definitely not let her go.

I……

Looking at Yin Yin whose expression was full of nervousness and fear, Xiao Yang vaguely guessed something, but didn't say anything, just walked up to her gently and hugged her.

Seeing the lamb hugging her suddenly, Yinyin was stunned, unable to react.

……Eh?

It's okay, I won't tell anyone... Looking at the helpless Yin Yin, Xiao Yang raised his head and gave her an encouraging smile, and whispered in a gentle voice, This is the secret between the two of us. ... okay?

The lady has always taken care of herself.

She didn't know if it was the right thing to do, but it was time for her to report on her.

...Xiao Yang. Yinyin stared blankly at this sister who was two years younger than herself, her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

There is regret, there is grievance... There are also many emotions that she can't express but are stuffed in her chest.

It wasn't just because of the hurtful things she said last night, but because she suddenly realized that the person who was most worthy of her confiding and who cared about her most was actually by her side all the time.

However, what made her feel ashamed was that she had never really taken a fancy to this clumsy friend, even in her subconscious mind, she just wanted to use the lamb's special status to play tricks on those servants.

Otherwise, why would I rather confide to an unknown god than to speak frankly with her.

Otherwise, why did I know that I couldn't escape, but I couldn't help but drag her to do things that might be reprimanded.

I have always led her around, treating her as my pet, but never asked her what she thinks, whether she wants to leave here, or whether she needs to hide for a while in that place no one has found.

Even if something so serious happened last night, she didn't ask her a question with concern, but was just worried about the change of identity and losing her only friend after losing everything.

Looking at the young lady whose tears burst suddenly, Xiao Yang didn't know what was going on in her heart, but just patted her on the back comfortingly.

It's all right...the lamb will be with you.

I don't know how long it has passed.

A gray-green mist filled the window.

It was a color that Yinyin had never seen before, and the haze in which she could not see her fingers was even more ominous.

Also noticing the changes outside the window, Xiao Yang stopped patting Yin Yin's hand lightly, and muttered to himself.

It's getting foggy……

At this time, there was a slight creaking sound from the direction of the stairs.

With a secret in mind, Yinyin immediately looked over there, but saw nothing, there was just an empty corridor.

Is it an illusion?

Just as she was thinking this way, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a wet footprint slowly appearing at the corner of the stairs.

It's like a boot that's just been wading through the grass has stepped there.

The moment she saw the footprints, her heart jumped into her throat.

……ghost? !

...

The fog came up suddenly, and it happened abnormally in the afternoon, and it filled the entire Pine Cone Farm in an instant.

The faces of the people gathered at the gate of the manor showed panic, thinking that the alliance had activated the mind interference device, and what happened last night would happen again soon.

Whether it was the overseers, the serfs, or the servants of the manor, they all dispersed in a swarm, hiding at home desperately, and hastily pulled out the locks to lock themselves.

There is really no lock, so I can only find a hemp rope and tie the family members separately to the pillars or the stove.

This saves the players a lot of trouble.

When the monster doesn't know where it will appear, it is indeed a dangerous thing for so many people to gather together.

But no one is taking it lightly.

The gray-green thick fog that suddenly rose was obviously a trick created by the Torch Church. The players gathered at the door put on helmets and gas masks one after another, and spread out to guard against possible accidents.

What's the situation with this fog...

poison gas?

It's not like... It seems that breathing is not affected.

It just stinks.

And it's so green!

There are whispers in the communication channel.

Luo Yu glanced at the sky, before he could still see the clouds in the sky, but now he could only see a poop-green halo.

The air is as sticky as jelly, and has a damp musty smell, like clothes that haven't been washed for a long time.

At this time, a call from the Iron Heart came from the communication channel.

...This is the Air Command of the Heart of Steel. We saw you surrounded by thick fog from the sky. We will immediately report the situation on your side!

Holding the rifle and walking to the gate of the manor, Lao Bai in power armor said solemnly.

Everything is normal on our side for the time being. Can you visually measure the scope of this fog area? Is it just our area, or is the entire area covered?

The area of ​​the fog area is about a thousand square kilometers, and you are right in the center of the area.

I suspect it's the torch's fault... Can you send a plane over to help us take a look around? Focus on searching the area from the Pine Fruit Farm to the downtown area of ​​Jinhe City.

learn.

With such a thick fog, the visibility on the ground should be very poor. I'm afraid I can't see anything in the sky. Lao Bai didn't hold much hope.

His real concern was that the mutants might take this opportunity to find their way out of town.

But what made him more concerned was how did the thick fog come out?

At this moment, Luo Yu who was standing aside suddenly held his forehead lightly and said in a low voice.

...It's spores.

Quit Smoking was stunned, and looked at him in surprise.

spore?!

Hmm... Luo Yu nodded solemnly, and continued, It's very similar to the spores of the slime mold... Xiao Yu told me.

Although Xiaoyu does not rely on spores to exchange information and reproduce, but it developed in the environment of Qingquan City after all, and has some understanding of the spores of ordinary slime molds.

However, after hearing what he said, all the players showed unexpected expressions on their faces, especially Quit Smoking, who looked at him in disbelief.

spore?

Why does Jinhe City have spores?

There is no brood here at all!

The murderous dagger swallowed.

Wait... just ask if you don't understand, didn't all your fruiting bodies die before?

It still has one in my body, which is the biological prosthesis that increases HP and restores... And don't say anything strange, what is my fruiting body, that is Xiaoyu's! Luo Yu glared at him dissatisfied.

The murderous dagger smiled embarrassedly.

At this moment, Lao Bai interrupted their communication.

Now is not the time to talk about this... The situation has changed, we have to temporarily evacuate key NPCs and equipment from here.

Suddenly remembering that he still had a task of one hundred thousand silver coins, Luo Yu said hastily.

Remember to take that lamb away too.

For sure, she is the key research material, and it is impossible to keep her if anyone is kept.

Quit smoking then asked.

What about the local residents?

There are 40,000 to 50,000 people here... It is impossible to move everyone away, and it is even more dangerous to go outside the fence.

After glancing at the houses outside the manor, Lao Bai continued in a deep voice.

Anyway, do your best.

At this moment, there was a deafening explosion from behind everyone, followed by dense gunshots.

Looking back suddenly, Lao Bai's expression changed slightly.

It is the direction of the annex!

...

In the emerald green jungle, there are green heads shaking, and the gnarled muscles are covered with orange ammunition and powerful weapons.

Kuru stood right in front of this group of mutants, staring at the foggy plain ahead, his pupils flashing with a bloodthirsty fierce light.

The thick mist, which was too rancid for the weak old humans, smelled a refreshing fragrance in his nose.

In that fragrance, he already smelled killing and death...

Last night, he was unfortunately defeated in a battle. Not only were his brothers killed and injured, but he even lost half of his arm.

An incompetent guy like him should have been chopped up and thrown into the pot, but the patriarch did not pursue his stupidity, but forgave him tolerantly.

Not only that, the people from the church helped him install a mechanical arm, and implanted a large number of mechanical prosthetic bodies in his broken body, which raised his destructive power to a higher level.

In order to make up for the losses caused by his mistakes to the tribe, and to repay the church for giving him the opportunity to set foot on the battlefield again, he took the initiative to volunteer for this operation, and vowed to bring back 50,000 heads for Mr. Gann.

To comfort the brothers who died last night, as well as the martyred apostles and executioners.

Seeing the thicker fog, a cruel smile gradually appeared on Kuru's face, and the people in the church really didn't lie to him.

Under the cover of this dense fog, the originally impassable plain will be completely opened to them.

Even if the airship flying in the sky knew that they might be hiding in the thick fog, it didn't know where to fire at all.

At this time, there was a light explosion in the distance.

That's the signal to attack.

Kuru took a deep breath, allowing the smell to fill his chest cavity, and the blood flowing in his veins boiled like magma.

He raised his mechanical arm and the ax-like gun in his hand, and roared in a rough and savage voice.

Kuru said, chopped up those two-legged animals—

Not one left!
