Chapter 278: The Dense Forest Frontier

After confirming that Bai Liu and Spades were going to join the army, Guy asked them to wait for him to take them to fill in the application forms after he and Alex had finished their shifts.

Alex sorted through the collection of bodies in silence, his face a mask of sadness - he was still a new recruit and found it hard to accept such a loss of life and death.

Spades kept his eyes on the body parts, and although he didn't look at them, Bai Liu noticed the guy's incessant fingering, a foolish restlessness.

The collection of corpses is a bonus task, and Spades is probably keen to get his hands on the corpses Alex has.

But these corpses are Alex's comrades.

Bai Liu smiled impassively and stomped on Spades, leaning over him and whispering a warning, "Taking the body parts will make Alex less good, don't you want to do the main storyline quest with more points?"

Spades gave a hmmm and a slightly regretful glance at the body parts again.

Guy is also helping to sort out the body parts, but he is much better mentally than Alex, still mentally stable despite his grief.

As they passed Bai Liu and Spades, who were face-to-face, Guy was able to laugh and tease, "You're both going to kiss just waiting for our moment? That's nice."

Bai Liu on the feet of Spades: "......"

Spades asks inquisitively, "Why pro-?"

Bai Liu covers Spades' mouth momentarily and turns her head with a grin on her face, "Still in love with him, it's hard for us to have this kind of time alone in town away from other people."

Guy, who clearly understands the situation, smiled understandingly, "You can go outside and be alone, be safe - Alex and I were like that when we were in love."

"If you are really going to join the army and get caught up in this war ......" Guy seemed to remember something that upset him and looked a little lower, "then take every chance you can get together, these precious moments don't come around It doesn't happen often."

Spades and Bai Liu were then thrown out of the tent by Guy.

The two men looked at each other.

Spades hadn't forgotten the question he had just asked, and was quite persistent in asking, "What's a kiss?"

Bai Liu raised his hand to his forehead, thought for a moment and decided not to tangle with Spades, explaining simply, "...... A kiss is when one person's lips touch another person's skin, and this is called a kiss."

"I know this." Spades' gaze moved down to Bai Liu's lips, "I know that a kiss on the lips is the most special kind of kiss, called a kiss, and can only happen between a man and a woman who have a special relationship."

Bai Liu's lips pursed involuntarily at the sight of Spades landing on them, and he inclined his head, his lips a very light shade of pink as he pursed them.

"Knowing that you're still asking?"

Bai Liu's tone was a little annoyed, but because his voice was so soft, it seemed like this annoyance was not true, not like a temper tantrum, but like a ...... falling out, bringing out a little bit of a very different emotion to it.

Having said that, Bai Liu is quiet.

Realising this himself, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm his mind so that he would not be led by Spades to follow his emotions.

When Bai Liu was a kid, he was always easily led by Xie Ta when he first started to get along with him, how come 10 years have passed and he still can't do anything about it ......

Spades was oblivious to Bai Liu's thoughts as he explained, "What I'm Buming white about is why Guy thought we were both kissing?"

"There's nothing special about the two of us being male and female, is there?" Spades' voice was calm and natural.

Bai Liu's breathing stalled for a moment as he slowly opened his pure black eyes, all the confused and complicated emotions in them instantly withdrawn.

"Yes." Bai Liu's voice held a thin smile as he turned his head, his face impeccably placid, "We certainly don't have any special male-female relationship."

"But Guy, they misunderstood that we had a special relationship, which made them feel close to us and made it easier for us to do our job."

Bai Liu raised his eyes, "So we're going to pretend we have this special relationship in front of them."

Spades was quiet for a moment, a serious expression on his face as if he was digesting and understanding the event.

Bai Liu waited quietly for him and Spades looked down at Bai Liu: "Kissing can happen between a man and a man, can't it?"

"Yes." Bai Liu replied, "The same goes for special relationships, which exist between men and men, and Guy and Alex are a couple of men who have such a special relationship."

Spades' epiphany: "Is this the special relationship we want to emulate?"

Bai Liu nodded, then he added with a smile, "Of course, we don't have such a special relationship per se, we just need to act in front of the pair of NPCs, and when we're not in front of them, please keep Mr Spades and I at a social distance."

The smile on his face and his words hid an uncomfortable coldness: "Because I hate Mr. Spades, our positions are hostile and I would like you to stay away from me."

Spades paused for a moment and inexplicably said, "I don't hate you."

"I'm looking forward to playing you." Spades looked down at his dirty shoes, the whip in his hand whipping once or twice, and his tone was light, "- you're the first player I've seen that isn't afraid of me."

"I quite like you."

Bai Liu, who was about to pull away from Spades, paused for a moment, but he quickly smiled as if nothing had happened and said "But I don't like you." and then took a step.

Spades said "Oh" and then stopped talking.

They stood motionless across a fifty centimetre gap, both heads looking to one side, neither ignoring the other.

Bai Liu idly moves his system panel, Spades lowers his head to polish the lines on his whip, and both of them feel as if something in their hands has suddenly grown flowers as they repeatedly examine it without looking at each other anyway.

Before entering the game, Bai Liu gave Tang Erda a communication prop - a satellite phone.

Within the game pool, the copy is in league mode and everyone's system panel is cut off and blocked, the equivalent of a computer disconnected from the internet, with no way for the system panel to connect to the shop, forum, or another player.

Simply put, no one else has access to the "computer" except the player himself.

Even Bai Liu's soul note skill has been cut off from his 'network', and the part of the system panel he can use has been greatly reduced.

The warehouse is a "networked" function and Bai Liu, as a visitor to the "computer", is not allowed to use it.

So all Bai Liu can use at the moment is to move panel values and use simple functions such as soul skills.

Bai Liu was unable to call on the props in the warehouse to communicate with Tang Erda and the others, and in this case, the need for communication equipment became essential.

Bai Liu has experimented with a variety of communication props so far, and in his last copy, Bai Liu found a communication prop that is more stable in most copies and extreme maps - a satellite phone.

The satellite phone degraded on entry to this copy, turning into a rather outdated large stature radio device that is harder to use.

But in this situation where two parties are not talking ......

Bai Liu feels that there is no better time to use this device than now.

The good thing is that there are instructions on the device and it is not really exactly like a large radio device, but more like a degraded version of a mobile phone, so it is not difficult.

Tang Erda's reply came quickly: [I saw that someone triggered the main storyline quest, was it you?

Bai Liu glances at Spades, who is sneaking around and leaning towards him with an indifferent look on his face: [Me and the Spades of the killer sequence].

Tang Erda: [You and Spades? If you and Spades both triggered the main storyline of this army camp, then you should be on this side, so why would the rest of the killer sequence join the enemy army?

Bai Liu raises an eyebrow: [The rest of the assassin sequence joined the enemy?

Tang Erda: [Yes, I saw them wandering around the tent before they were deliberately spotted by the enemy and then captured and quickly defected to the enemy, why would they join the enemy and fight against the Spades when the Spades were on this side?

Bai Liu laughs softly: [Because now they and Spades are not teammates].

Tang Erda: [?

With a comment that he would elaborate on this at the enlisted point later, Bai Liu put away the device and turned his head to look slowly up at Spades, who was already posted on his back, and smiled, "Looks like your teammate is determined to teach you a lesson."

"I guess they found you hiding under the bed when they patrolled the tent, they just didn't point it out."

Spades corrects: "Found us hiding under the bed and you sleeping outside."

Bai Liu swept past the subject pretending not to have heard anything: "From the way that tactician of yours chose his camp, he deliberately let you trigger the main npc quest here and then chose the enemy camp - he wanted to make you lose this game by going head to head. "

"He's trying to establish the majesty of the Tactician in you." Bai Liu spared a chuckle, "It seems that the Reverse God Inquisitor knows you well enough to know that you eat this up."

Spades looks at Bai Liu: "He beat me with a team, which isn't that great, I'm more of the type that eats solo duels to win me, I prefer you like that ......"

Bai Liu stood up and patted his trousers, calmly interrupting Spades, " Guy, aren't they out yet?"

Spades turned his head and swept the tent, "It's almost out."

"We're the ones who have to pretend to have a special relationship in front of them, aren't we?" Spades inquired, glancing at Bai Liu, who was still keeping his distance.

Bai Liu gave a sideways glance, seemingly unconcerned with Spades, and gave a perfunctory mumble.

The moment Guy lifted the curtain of the tent and emerged, Spades suddenly reached out and took Bai Liu by the back of the neck, spun him around and pulled him into his arms, embracing the back of the unprepared Bai Liu, lifting his jaw and kissing him without hesitation.

His cold, dry lips pressed against Bai Liu's warm lower lip, which had been pursed I don't know how many times.

Spades closes his eyes.

Bai Liu's pupils plummeted.
