Chapter 288: The Borderlands of the Dense Forest

Alex stumbled backwards as he spoke, kicking a bottle on the ground, which was empty, and rolled down to Bai Liu's feet.

Bai Liu looked over at the bottle and saw that it was neatly written on the bottle - [Cellular reactivation agent for dead organisms (animal version, not for human use)].

[Developed by: Alex-Brown]

Bai Liu shifted his eyes, he saw several empty bottles scattered behind Alex, and then he calmly looked around on these body parts.

The fragmented upper limbs, the half-brained head, the blown-off tendon of a calf, all aimed at Bai Liu at an eerie angle.

In the dimness of the tent, the bloody cuts seem to be the eyes of these limbs, which are gazing greedily with these vile eyes at Bai Liu, the uninvited guest with his limbs intact.

It's as if ...... these shattered body parts have evolved an independent consciousness.

[System Alert: Congratulations to Player Bai Liu for unlocking the "Dense Forest Borderlands" Monster Book - Half-Dead Corpse].

[The player who collects and subdues one half-dead corpse will earn one point, and the player with the highest point total within seven days wins]

It seems that this is the kind of corpse the game has them collecting.

And Bai Liu, the creator of these corpses, slowly raised his eyes to Alex, who was still crumbling on his knees, and he could feel in this NPC a wavering position brought on by a great pain.

This should be a central plot point in deciding whether Alex goes rogue or not.

Bai Liu didn't get up and let the bodies squirm closer to him, still crouching and looking at Alex: "You think Guy did wrong, but do you think these bodies did right?"

Alex held his head and howled in pain, he didn't answer Bai Liu's words, but the faltering and trance in his eyes gave away his answer - he didn't think what the men had done was right either.

Bai Liu took one look at the bodies on the ground and said meaningfully, "Guy told you that this is what war is like, that in war everyone is a corpse without feelings."

"I thought that was a good idea you had earlier, that if the corpses could come alive and fight, no one would get hurt." Bai Liu sighed regretfully, "but that's simply not possible."

Alex paused.

Bai Liu patted Alex's shoulder, who hadn't moved since he said that, "Get some rest, there's a big battle tomorrow and there's no telling how many fresh bodies will be produced, we'll have our hands full."

Bai Liu got up and dragged Spades, whose eyes had been glued to these integral body parts, out of Alex's tent and back to their own.

Spades looks to Bai Liu: "You're baiting Alex to switch camps."

"Not all of it." Bai Liu took off his mud-specked uniform jacket and hung it on the tent as soon as he entered, lying on his marching bed and looking sideways at Spades with a grin, "The camp switch won't help us, if Alex switches to the enemy side and we defect right after him, the enemy will certainly not be as receptive to us rebels as the Reverse Gods and theirs who defected there in the first place. "

"The simple fact is that after Alex's defection, our chances of winning are not as high as the Gods'." Bai Liu lifted his eyes and looked at Spades with a smirk, "In that case, the odds are against the gods and they can beat you."

Spades was instantly focused when he heard that he had won or lost, and as he undressed he sat on the edge of the bed and approached Bai Liu: "How are we going to beat them?"

Bai Liu stepped back a little into the bed without moving: "The game only gives two options, our side and the enemy's side, and the way things are going, whether Alex stays on our side or defects to the enemy, we'll have to become weapons of war to win, converting Alex by putting in huge amounts of labour to slaughter and create bodies. "

"Personally, I'm not a big fan of this cost-effective way of winning by competing for both sides' panel values, and we shouldn't be able to match them in the round of combined panel values."

Spades interrupted Bai Liu: "It's better than that, I have a higher panel value than the other three combined, except for the Reverse God."

Bai Liu paused slightly and raised an eyebrow in mild surprise, "What are your panel value figures?"

Spades seriously quoted a series of numbers out and then said, "The panel value of the Reverse God is confidential and I don't know, but it shouldn't be higher than mine."

Bai Liu falls into an eerie silence - no wonder the Reverse Gods are trying to suppress Spades This guy's swagger ......

With this ridiculously high panel stats, not suppressing and not following directions, the equivalent of a super wrecking ball would confuse the situation so much that it would be impossible to see where the winner was going to go, and once the league was on the field it would be approximately the same as another nine people beating him, and not even necessarily be able to beat him.

"I heard rumours from the outside world and only knew that your panel was worth over 10,000, I didn't think it was over by that much." Bai Liu said.

Spades replied, "I broke 10,000 last year when I first played, then my teammates asked to keep it a secret at the start of the league, saying that the panel value was too prominent to be easily targeted."

Bai Liu continued, "But even if you have a high panel value, it's only a personal advantage, the Reverse Gods in this game they went first, got into the enemy army and took the camp advantage, even if we defected over again, they still have a far better advantage over us when it comes to fighting over corpses."

"So I was thinking." Bai Liu smiled up, "To dismantle their camp advantage, could a third camp option be induced."

Spades frowns: "The third camp, whose camp?"

Bai Liu replied, " Alex's personal camp."

At midnight.

Spades, who was lying next to Bai Liu, slept soundly with his arms around Bai Liu's waist.

Bai Liu gently moved away from Spades' hold on his arms and legs and walked off the bed and outside the camp.

He enters Alex's tent silently. Alex is still sitting on the ground, exactly as he was before Bai Liu left, looking as if he hadn't moved for hours.

Alex seemed to notice Bai Liu coming in, but he didn't look up, just said in a raspy voice, "The big fight starts in three hours, so don't try to talk me out of it, just go back to sleep."

"You've joined Assault Team Two, and in three hours, you and Guy will be standing on the battlefield facing each other." Bai Liu flicked on the dim chandelier and he looked down at Alex, "Do you want to see him one last time before you point your guns at each other?"

Alex raised his head slowly, slowly, a faint glimmer of hope spilling out of his otherwise lightless eyes, but it was quickly extinguished: "Soldiers caught fornicating before the Great War begins will be tortured, don't risk it for me, Bai Liu."

"But there is a place where your rendezvous is justified and you will not be subjected to torture." Bai Liu smiled softly, "The camp-free Red Cross Relief Society, where any wounded soldier can go voluntarily for help."

Alex's eyes lit up again instantly, "But to go to Red Cross you need someone to guarantee admission, do you know anyone in there?"

Bai Liu smiles, "Yes, I have someone I know who should be able to vouch for you to get in now."

The Red Cross Rescue Yard is lit up.

This relief-oriented, borderless, campless medical organisation is stationed in camps on both sides, as well as on the borders of engagement.

After Bai Liu reported his location to Liu Jiayi, Alex did not hesitate to shoot himself twice in the leg.

Soon the Red Cross car stumbled in and took Alex, who had a leg injury, with it.

Bai Liu went up with the car and the people on board were very friendly to Bai Liu, asking him with a smile, "Are you Jiayi's brother? She thought you were injured and told us to come quickly, so we rushed over, you look so much alike."

In the eyes of these people, the faces of Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu, two Asians, are undoubtedly similar.

"Hey, your sister is a wonderful little girl." The people on the bus seemed particularly taken with Liu Jiayi, scrambling to talk to Bai Liu about her, "She's so good at saving lives, we couldn't believe how skillfully such a young child could handle a battle injury, a hemorrhage, something she could do on her own that a dozen adults couldn't do."

"She saved dozens of people in just two days."

"Did you consider sending her to medical school or something after the war?" The group frantically hinted to Bai Liu, "I remember you had a place at a top university after the war, did you consider giving it to Jiayi?"

Bai Liu smiles back, "But she's only nine."

The group retorted vehemently, "It's not about age, Jiayi has the ability to go to a top university, she's a little genius!"

It seems that within two days, Liu Jiayi has already made the Red Cross group of npc's full of goodwill.

This made things incredibly easy for Bai Liu, and they drove straight into the Red Cross camp, where Bai Liu jumped out of the tailgate of the van to see Liu Jiayi trotting towards him.

Liu Jiayi is dressed in a poorly fitting nurse's uniform, with a tiny nurse's cap on her head, bloodstained white gloves on her hands and a palm-sized Red Cross logo on her sleeve cuff that flutters as she runs.

She was trotting this way in the interwoven chain of stretchers with a serious look on her face, directing as she went.

The people here were surprisingly obedient to her, and as soon as she said where to send them, the men with the stretchers would immediately send them to the tent in that place.

Liu Jiayi is already a very vocal figure here.

When she ran up to Bai Liu, he smiled and teased, "You're doing well."

Liu Jiayi took off his gloves and threw them into the medical waste bin: "You could have delayed a bit more, you're dragging out this camp game until just before the big battle with the intention of changing sides, I almost took Red Cross to join your side."

"But you haven't given instructions yet, so I'll hold steady." Liu Jiayi shook the talcum powder from his hand and said with a straight face, "You didn't contact me yesterday, I knew you should have other ideas for this game, Red Cross as a camp-free volunteer organisation can bridge your switch, now which side are you going into?"

Bai Liu smiles: "Third party."

Liu Jiayi reacted very quickly: "You're forming your own party? With mainline NPCs and corpse blocks as the core?"

Bai Liu nods his head.

Liu Jiayi wrinkled his brow for a moment: "The corpse doesn't need rescuing, so Red Cross is useless to you, and I need to get out of here as soon as possible."

"Oh yes, the hard part of this game is not the camp." Liu Jiayi looked up, "I think you know that it's in the sequence of killers who are not on one side of the camp with you."

She was a little worried: "Even if the Inquisitors of the Counter Gods seem to be targeting each other and Spades in this game, neither side is a match for us right now, they are after all last year's championship team and their combined quality is too far off."

"Essentially, the two camps that will win this game are the Spades and the Reverse Gods, and we are just a minor addition."

"I know." Bai Liu laughed, "So just make both Spades and the Reverse God think I'm on the same side as all of them, won't you?"

"That way whichever side they win, I win."

Liu Jiayi was stunned, she quickly understood what Bai Liu was trying to do and couldn't help but "==": "You're playing double agent again?"

Bai Liu smiled and hmmed.

Liu Jiayi frowned: "But Spades and the Reverse Gods are no slouches, how do you convince them that you're on their side?"

Bai Liu lowered his eyes, "My sincerity, of course."

Liu Jiayi: "......"

Don't give me the cold shoulder at a time like this!

"Reverse God, them and mainline npc Guy, they should all be in Red Cross now, right?" Bai Liu changed the subject.

Liu Jiayi nodded: "Well, because it was the eve of the Great War, the Reverse Gods came over to contact Red Cross and Guy, a mainline NPC I just triggered, was sent here to heal from his injuries."

Bai Liu looked to Liu Jiayi: "Did they recognise you as a player?"

"Recognized." Liu Jiayi wondered, "But the Reverse Gods and their overall attitude towards me was pretty good, they seemed to treat me like a normal NPC with a rescue function, and even traded points with me for antidotes twice."

Liu Jiayi: "NPCs here cannot be rescued with antidotes, but players can, and Reverse God and the others took the initiative to buy antidotes from me, and I gave them all."

After some thought, she replied, "They have nothing against us, their aim is very clear, they just want to win against Spades."

"Straight away, they just want Spades to lose." Bai Liu hooked his lips, "We're pretty much in agreement on that."

Liu Jiayi looked up at Bai Liu: "I have a feeling you've already figured out how to convince the Reverse God, but what about Spades? He doesn't seem like a very convincing person."

" Spades over there ......" Bai Liu paused slightly bizarrely, "took care of it and he was completely convinced that he and I were on the same page."

Liu Jiayi was shocked: "How did you convince him to trust you wholeheartedly when you fought so hard on your last copy?!"

Bai Liu averted his eyes imperceptibly, "With a little special skill."

Liu Jiayi skeptically walked around and continued to confront Bai Liu: "Why are you afraid to look me in the face and say that? You've never been vain about anything you've done, what have you done to Spades that you're so vain about?"

Bai Liu: "......"

Kids being too perceptive is really not good for dirty adults.

When Bai Liu did not answer, Liu Jiayi raised his eyebrows, "I won't force you to say anything, but I will always know."

"But forget it now, there is a war coming up and time is running out." Liu Jiayi waved his hand, "I'll take you to the Reverse God and the others."

Bai Liu followed behind Liu Jiayi and asked, "Isn't it a bit urgent for the Reverse Gods to come and contact Red Cross at this hour?"

"You have the nerve to talk about others." Liu Jiayi was speechless, "Aren't you the same?"

Bai Liu: "I'm waiting for the key point plot."

Liu Jiayi walked on without looking back: "They are the same, the people on the indigenous side don't trust the Red Cross people, they feel that Red Cross and the other side are all in cahoots and have been very resistant to our help and won't allow us to help take in their wives and children."

"But Red Cross is actually safer than that neutral indigenous village they're hosting."

Bai Liu was instantly clear: "But last night's raid made the natives realise that the neutral villages weren't safe, so they started thinking about Red Cross, and the Reverse Gods, being rebels, had no communication or understanding barriers with the people over here, so they were sent over to communicate, yes?"

"It's not just that." Liu Jiayi looked back at Bai Liu, "The Reverse God is more capable than you think, I don't know what he's done, but he's now the commander on the indigenous side, the top strategic officer, and he came over to Red Cross today to pick up the pieces, also in his capacity as commander to resettle harmless women and children. "

"From rebel to commander in two days?" Bai Liu raised the end of his eyebrow.

Liu Jiayi paused for a moment: "Yes."

"All in all this guy gives me the unpleasant feeling of ...... looking harmless, a smiling face, but actually knowing everything."

"But if the Reverse God is in command, it should be a simple matter for him to come over to pick up and resettle the women and children, he shouldn't have delayed lingering here until just before the Great War, he should have gone back to the camp." Bai Liu pondered for a moment before inquiring, "Is something wrong?"

"Yes." Liu Jiayi said, "There are also sub-parties within the natives, partly the emerging natives led by the new commander, the Reverse God, a party of natives who are happy to accept a lot of the new faction and hope to use the victory of the war as a start to develop and grow out of it."

"Most of the top brass of this party befriended and received assistance and ideological enlightenment from the factory director who was shot earlier."

"Then there was a part of the old natives who were highly hostile to everything that was emerging, who followed a religion that an Arab had come over to preach, some kind of evil god's religion I was told, and who yearned for the traditional farming life and rejected all mechanical means of production, which they felt was blasphemy against the hands that God had given them to use for their labour."

Liu Jiayi turned to Bai Liu: "I believe you have guessed that the leader of this party of natives is the old commander, the one who shot the factory director and started the war."

"There are irreconcilable conflicts between the old and new parties, and at the moment it is the new faction that is dominant, but the old faction is always resigned to letting the new faction take power and will make all sorts of trouble."

"For example, today the Reverend God actually placed these women and children hours ago, but the group from the old school suddenly killed them and went berserk to stop the Reverend God from doing so, saying that the Reverend God was a traitor and an undercover agent and was not trying to protect these offspring and wives at all, but to sacrifice them to the enemy for greater praise. "

Liu Jiayi led Bai Liu to a tent and raised her chin, "They're in here, they should still be arguing, want me to go in with you?"

There was a faint sound of a heated argument in the tent.

Bai Liu shakes his head.

Liu Jiayi nodded understandingly and tossed Bai Liu a vial of antidote: "Your weapon is destroyed, scream if anything moves, I'll be on guard outside."

Having said that, Liu Jiayi, dressed in a nurse's uniform, drew out a bottle of poison spray and hid it on one side of the tent, giving the OK sign to Bai Liu who was about to enter.

Bai Liu gave an OK gesture in return, then lifted the curtain and calmly walked in.

There was a silence on both sides of the argument. On the left stood the group of Reverse Gods, while on the right was a group with eagle feather hats, animal skins on their shoulders and backs, and greased faces.

The group of traditional natives were ready to show their teeth at Bai Liu when he entered, but were stopped by the leader, who looked at him for a long time and said in an odd tone, "He is a man favoured by the true gods and must not be offended."

Then he bowed to Bai Liu and politely withdrew.

The emotion in Bai Liu's eyes was obscure Buming, but was quickly curbed as he looked to the Reverse God, "It seems I seem to have interrupted your conversation."

"No, no, no, you saved me." The Reverse God rubbed the corner of his forehead and sat back in his chair with a long, weary sigh of relief, looking at Bai Liu with a grin and an outstretched hand, "I've been arguing with them for two hours now, and once you arrived they were willing to take an intermission and let me off the hook for now."

Bai Liu lowered his eyes and extended his hand to shake the god's hand, "First time meeting you, Bai Liu."

Reverse God smiled, "Tactician of the killer sequence, just call me Reverse God."

The Reverse God gestured to Bai Liu in a sitting position, "You wanted to talk to me about something, didn't you?"

Bai Liu sat down and looked up and smiled, "Yes, I want to talk to you about how to make Spades lose this game."

The Reverse God, who had been slumped in his chair, slowly sat up straighter and he waved his hand, and the men behind him immediately retreated, leaving only the other three members of the assassin sequence and Bai Liu and the Reverse God sitting in their chairs in the tent.

Bai Liu said without skipping a beat, "I have a way to make Spades lose this game to you guys in a heartbreaking way."

The Reverse God and the three members of the assassin sequence all stared at Bai Liu with a very surprised look, and it was a while before the Reverse God asked with anticipation, "Tell us exactly what you have to say."

"I can lure Spades somewhere in the battlefield and work with you to pin him back and forth. He trusts me more and won't be too defensive, so the plan has a better chance of success ......" Bai Liu relates.

"Stop." A teenager who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old standing behind the Reverse God raised his hand in a [STOP] gesture, then looked at Bai Liu and questioned slightly coldly, " Spades won't listen to anything at all, there was something wrong with this plan of yours to begin with."

The Reverse God looked angry and turned back to hit the teenager: "How are you talking to other players? Don't you know how to be polite? Introduce yourself properly first."

The teenager paused stiffly, "Killer Sequence Battle Team member, control position, Bai Jiamu ."

The Reverse God raised his hand in embarrassed apology, "I'm sorry, go on."

Bai Jiamu interrupted the Reverse God dryly, "But there's no way he can control Spades, Spades doesn't even care about us ......"

"It's not always possible to reach that level of control though." Bai Liu looked up with a smile, "but the level of influence should be okay."

The Reverse God first apologised again for his players, but then he turned the tables and asked with a smile, " Mr Bai Liu, do you have any objective basis to refer to when you say Spades will trust you?"

Bai Liu said calmly, "Oh, that's right, I married him yesterday."

Against the Gods: "......"

Bai Jiamu: "......"

Other members of the Killer Sequence: "......"
