Chapter 257 Another ID Card to Dragon City
Times have changed, and another thing that can suppress psychic creatures has come into being.
In the room, blue light flickered, mechanical flowers bloomed, and slowly rotated. The light flickered, causing the spiritual energy in the bodies of all the people present to become disordered and almost unusable.
The weak and uncomfortable feeling made them feel that they were not as good as ordinary people.
"Is this the legendary stand device?" Lu Ba looked solemn, "Isn't it still in the testing phase? How come there is one in the tavern?"
"It's not just the two families in Yuling City who are being tested."
Li Sanguang smiled . A large organization like the Zero Point Tavern could naturally get more good things than those two local snake families.
The mechanical device in his hand is more powerful than the ones the other two companies got, but also more unstable and is still under testing.
It doesn't work sometimes, but it worked pretty well today.
Even if this thing fails, he has other ways to catch Li Yun.
Li Yun fell to the ground, his face as pale as paper, knowing that he could not escape.
"Wait a minute, why are you arresting me?" He didn't want to be exposed and planned to struggle one last time. "I have contributed to the camp and shed blood for the human race! We have fought side by side! Aren't you asking why and not even giving me any evidence?"
Yes, there is indeed no direct evidence.
This guy is so well disguised, better than even a big golden retriever.
In order to perfectly integrate into the identity of Li Yun, he even made his daily routine in the real world the same as in the game.
When he rested in the camp at night, he also rested in the real world, letting the character in the game lie on the bed and AFK. When the sun rose, he woke up and controlled the character in the game to wake up. He ate three meals in the game with his friends in this body, talking and laughing, with almost no loopholes.
In order to get the bounty for betraying the Union Camp, he threw himself into the game.
It's like wearing a personality mask.
Sometimes, he would dream that he turned into Li Yun and led his brothers and friends to fight against the mechanical tribe in the wilderness.
During this period, he felt like he was about to suffer from schizophrenia , as if there really was a Li Yun about to wake up in his mind.
In comparison, the golden retriever seems very irresponsible.
Among the three players, he was the worst at disguising himself.
He often lies in the doghouse and does not move, even in broad daylight. He simply hides the screen of the game "Look Up at the Stars" and plays other games.
Only when experiencing the VR room would he move a little more and lean into Ms. Liuye's arms.
Everyone in the room also noticed the large iron cage in Lu Ba's hand.
"Brother Lu, is there really any evidence?" Hu Yan couldn't help but speak. He naturally understood the situation in front of him, but he still didn't quite believe that a dog could be an undead.
Even without mentioning the dog, he and Li Yun have been friends for many years and once lay in the same trench.
He was familiar with Li Yun's past and habits. He felt that Li Yun during this period was no different from before and could not be a different person.
“Boom!”
Lu Ba put the big iron cage in his hand on the long table with a crisp sound.
The big golden retriever was still sleeping in the cage, but blood was oozing from its legs, and its golden fur was dyed red and condensed into wisps.
Everyone in the room was smart and they understood what Lu Ba meant instantly.
"Is it the 'sluggish' characteristic of the undead?" Hu Yan was surprised and his eyes widened.
"Could it be that someone fed him sleeping pills?" Qin Guang thought of this subconsciously.
"No, I injected it with several shots of universal sobering potion, but it still didn't respond." Lu Ba patted the dog cage. "After the meeting at the Oasis Camp, I sent people to keep an eye on the three of them. This dog often lies motionless in the doghouse. The children from the neighborhood pluck its hair, but it doesn't move at all... What do you think?"
"But... this is also..."
Everyone else in the room stared blankly at the dog cage, their surprise and shock written all over their faces.
Li Yun fell to the ground, rolled his eyes, and found that the people around him were not looking at him, so he moved cautiously, trying to find a chance to escape.
This is a good opportunity!
The electric shock effect of the Taser has worn off. Although he feels uncomfortable all over, he can move without any problems.
But suddenly, two more electrodes from the Taser gun attacked him and hit him in the blink of an eye. The powerful high pressure instantly caused his muscles to spasm, twitch, and curl up into a ball.
"Huh, you want to run?"
Li Sanguang looked deep in his eyes and casually threw the Taser in his hand to the liaison officer.
It's reassuring to work in a pub.
With him around, neither the man nor the dog can escape. They are destined to die here today.
After this commotion, the attention of the people around turned to Li Yun again. Even Hu Yan, who had always refused to believe, began to have doubts in his heart.
Back then, at the meeting at the Oasis camp, Commander Beifeng pointed out three undead.
Among them, the most incredible thing is the dog.
Unexpectedly, this dog is the first one to be exposed.
So……
Li Yun, who was also pointed out by Commander Beifeng...
Hu Yan had a complicated expression. He looked at this good friend who had fought side by side with him for many years. He opened his mouth, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and after a long while he asked, "Is the real Lao Li dead?"
"Old Hu, it's me!" Li Yun shouted, still refusing to admit it. "Two years ago, we intercepted the mechanical tribe's supplies in the suburbs of Coral City. Three years ago, we rescued a group of imprisoned brothers together. I was seriously injured at the time, and you carried me back. Don't you recognize me?"
Talking about these familiar past events, Hu Yan was silent for a while, but there was more sadness in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lu Ba walked over, looked down at Li Yun, and asked on behalf of Hu Yan: "Where did you go during the time you disappeared?"
This was a question in his mind.
Li Yun had a similar experience to Commander Beifeng.
Not long ago, when Li Yun was leading his Clouded Leopard Organization on a transfer, they were discovered by the Mechanical Clan's Wilderness Patrol and had a fierce battle.
The mechanical soldiers are too strong, each of them is close to immortal.
Li Yun stayed behind to cover the rest of the organization, allowing the rest of the organization to go first, but he was unable to escape and was captured by the mechanical tribe.
The mechanical people put a psychic suppressor on him and captured him to a laboratory in the suburbs, preparing to use him for experiments.
But Li Yun was lucky and strong enough. During his days of imprisonment, he successfully found an opportunity to smash the psychic suppressor, escape from the laboratory, avoid the pursuing soldiers, and flee all the way back to his organization's base.
That experience made him famous and also gave a shot in the arm to other resistance groups in the wilderness.
Although his reputation was still not as great as Bei Feng's, he still left an impression on many resistance fighters.
"I was really captured by the mechanical tribe!" Li Yun swore, acting very sincere, "The psychic suppressor was outdated and could not completely suppress my psychic power, so I found a chance to escape!"
"Yeah?"
Lu Ba's expression remained unchanged as he stared at Li Yun. He suspected that something had happened to Li Yun during the time he disappeared.
Because that period of time was also the time when the undead descended.
"The Mechanical Tribe must have records of that!" Li Yun said loudly, "Their Zero Point Tavern is always well-informed. If we look carefully, we will definitely be able to find out from the Mechanical Tribe the information about my arrest and escape."
He looked at Li Sanguang and said with certainty that he was really wronged.
But Li Sanguang slowly shook his head: "You want me to send someone to get the information and then delay time?"
Li Yun's heart trembled, his thoughts were seen through.
Now he just wants to delay as long as possible, until the mechanical army arrives.
But Lu Ba didn't give him the chance. He reached out and grabbed his collar. With his tall stature, he grabbed him like a chicken and walked towards the underground prison in the camp.
"Let's go, let's go downstairs and talk slowly!"
Li Yun struggled for a while, and shouted palely: "Let me go, Brother Lu! Boss Lu! Don't you recognize me?"
He shouted until his voice was almost hoarse, especially when Lu Ba grabbed him and took him out, he tried his best to yell everywhere, hoping to attract the attention of his friends and former subordinates.
Shouting like this did attract a lot of people's attention.
The people around looked at him in surprise, wondering why Lu Ba wanted to arrest Li Yun. Was there some internal problem in the camp?
In the back, in the small meeting room, everyone watched them go away in silence.
If there is really something wrong with Li Yun, then all the evacuation plans discussed previously will be useless.
"Hurry up and discuss a new plan."
"If necessary, you can contact the Oasis Camp. We are alone and need help from other camps."
“…”
The mechanical tribe is about to attack, there is a traitor in the group, and there is no news from Shi Sishi. All these events combined together are like mountains , weighing them down and making it hard for them to breathe.
Dark clouds have gathered over the camp.
At this time, they all thought of Commander Beifeng.
If it was him...
Surely he has a way, right?
Time was running out, so everyone began to replan the route and sent people to contact the other camps.
At the same time, Lu Ba carried Li Yun and the dog cage to the underground prison in the camp.
Li Yun was struggling all the way.
“Should I log off immediately?” he thought.
As long as he goes offline and disappears on the spot, he can get rid of control, but it also directly proves his own identity as an undead.
In the current situation, Lu Ba seems to have determined that he is the undead, and it doesn’t matter whether there is evidence or not.
As long as he is locked up in prison and guarded 24 hours a day, he will show his true colors sooner or later.
"The mechanical tribe will attack in one day, and everyone in the camp will retreat." Li Yun thought, "No one will guard me, but... I have already signed a contract with Sijidao. He doesn't want an empty camp. How can I delay time?"
If everyone in the camp withdrew, the three of them would fail and would be in breach of the contract, and they would even have to pay liquidated damages to Sijidao.
This is not what he wants to see.
While he was anxiously thinking, Xiong Wei had already thrown him and the dog cage into a cell.
"Bang!"
The door closed, blocking their hope of getting outside.
Although the joint camp had only been moved here a short time ago and many of the houses were very simple, the cells were very sturdy and were surrounded by a thick layer of reinforced concrete and soil.
If no one helps from outside, these two guys can only think of staging The Shawshank Redemption if they want to get out.
At this time, the big golden retriever was still hanging up, lying in the cage motionless, completely unaware of so much that had happened.
Seeing him hanging up the phone, Li Yun was furious.
If it weren’t for this bastard, I wouldn’t have been exposed today!
…
In the real world, he has called the player who controls the golden retriever several times, but no one answered.
The player was having a great time playing, killing people by jumping over the tower, his fingertips flying, his whole body shaking with excitement.
It wasn't until he was killed that he relaxed. He lit a cigarette and glanced at his phone: "Why are there so many calls?"
He felt puzzled and called back.
As soon as the call was connected, a barrage of curses came from the other end: "Are you fucking dead? Idiot! Orphan! Idiot! Shit! I've never seen you like this..."
This scolding completely confused him.
But he had fought in Zaan for many years after all, so how could he be scolded for nothing? He immediately threw away his cigarette and started to scold back.
The two sides cursed each other over the phone for a full five minutes before they finally calmed down.
Afterwards, the player controlling the golden retriever learned what happened in the game.
His face turned pale, and he quickly closed LOL, clicked on the game screen of looking up at the stars, and started controlling the game again.
…
In the joint camp, in the prison.
In the dog cage, the big golden retriever suddenly opened its eyes, jumped up, and slammed into the cage with a bang.
Looking at the gloomy prison environment and Lu Ba standing outside, he realized that the situation was not good.
It has been hiding for so long without any trouble, how come it was suddenly exposed today?
“Woof woof——”
He barked twice, stuck out his tongue, and wagged his tail, trying to continue pretending to be a dog to dispel the doubts of Lu Ba and others.
He had the same idea as Li Yun, that he must drag these people out of the joint camp.
Once these people withdraw, not only will the three of them not get any money, they may even lose money.
Outside the prison, Lu Ba's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "Don't pretend, I know there is an undead soul in this dog's body. It was Li Yun who informed you in another world, right?"
The big golden retriever was shocked when he heard this.
This damn game, why is the IQ of every NPC so high?
There is almost no difference from the real person.
Lu Ba stared at him for a moment, then looked away and looked at Li Yun again, saying, "Now I just want to know what happened in the first place? Why do you have Li Yun's memory?"
"I am who I am, Boss Lu, why are you still doubting me?"
Li Yun cried out for injustice, but he refused to admit it and was unwilling to give any specific details.
In fact, it's all due to luck.
On the day the server was launched, he chose to randomly land on the novice map, intending to try his luck and perhaps get a good start.
I didn't expect that I would actually run into him.
After entering the game, he got a hidden mission option.
[Do you want to become an NPC of the human resistance camp? ]
If he chooses [No], he will start as a player in a nearby map, starting from level zero like other ordinary players.
If he chooses [Yes], he will become an NPC captured by the mechanical race, possessing dual templates of both the player and the NPC, and can directly obtain psychic powers.
When Li Yun saw this option, his eyes lit up.
The NPC's name is the same as his.
He felt that this must be a great opportunity, and if he grasped it well, it would be a way to get rich.
So he chose the [Yes] option.
He was using the VR experience at the time, and his vision went dark. After a while, when it came back to light, he found himself trapped on a circular platform in the center of a laboratory, with a psychic suppressor on his neck, surrounded by various incomprehensible testing instruments, and more than a dozen wires and tubes of different colors inserted into his body.
Other players had to work hard to find tasks, but he directly got a task called:
Commander Li Yun's Last Wish
Through the mission description, he obtained all the experiences and memories of Commander Li Yun, and also saw the cause of Commander Li Yun's death.
After being captured, Commander Li Yun was unwilling to die in humiliation like the experimental subject. Knowing that there was no hope of escape, he bit the poison sac hidden behind his teeth and committed suicide by taking the poison.
This task is divided into several rounds, and the first part is to let him escape.
The final reward for the mission is an identity card leading to Dragon City.
It is obvious that this mission is to allow him to grow slowly and finally go to Longcheng to unite the human forces in Longcheng.
