When Yun Ming came to pick him up for the first time, Bai Fei didn't take a closer look. But this second time when he saw it for real, Bai Fei was shocked: Isn't this person a game friend from "Conquer the World"?
On the contrary, Yun Ming did not recognize Bai Fei, not because he was face blind, but because Bai Fei in the game did not look like this.
When the player logs in to create a character for the first time, "Conquer the World" has a face-squeezing function that allows the player to use their own appearance and body shape as a prototype to make certain adjustments, such as making double eyelids, padding the nose, changing the hairstyle, etc. Elf ears.
But since it is said to be a certain degree of adjustment, it must not be unrestricted and free to play. Otherwise, it is difficult to imagine that some people who are keen on pranks will make themselves into some kind of species that does not exist in the world.
Therefore, generally speaking, the difference between the player's real appearance and the player's game character modeling in "Conflict for Hegemony" is probably the difference between before and after photoshopping on the mobile phone. Although Bai Fei is a dragon-level ability user and the star of hope of the Renaissance organization, she is still a young girl in her early twenties, so there is nothing wrong with shaping her image in the game better.
So why can Bai Fei easily recognize Yun Ming? Simple, because straight men have no interest in doing that. They are the same in the game and in reality...
Now is not a good time to reminisce about the past. The seabed is still full of dangers, and Yun Ming encountered trouble on his second return trip.
"It didn't go well! My air flash failed!"
"What's going on?" Zhong Yi's heart sank slightly.
"The environment on the seabed is constantly changing, and the place I just focused on with my sight has been washed away by the current!"
"Then change your position!"
"I know, I'm looking for it!"
Yun Ming opened his eyes like bells, looking for a solid foothold while barely holding on in the turbulent ocean current. At the same time, he secretly cursed the unreliable team facing the enemy: "What are they doing? Why did Kraken suddenly become so angry?" So crazy!"
…………
The culprit is Xia Yan, or rather his combo [Heartbeat].
"What on earth did you do?" Elliot yelled, his tone unusually weak. Kraken was attacking him crazily, and its momentum was so strong that Elliot could only avoid its sharp edge and delay the attack, choosing to wrap himself with a large amount of metal to form a thick protective shell, providing a limited sense of security.
"I think it mistakenly thought that the person who just launched the attack was you." Xia Yan said solemnly: "The position I am standing on is the visual blind spot of Kraken, and it cannot see me."
"Did you attack just now? I didn't find any scars on its body."
"Because [Heartbeat] directly affects the body. I injected the ice particles into its blood vessels. If this titan had a heart, it would be an ice lump by now."
"Really? But according to Kraken's current state, what you injected is not like ice particles but stimulants."
Xia Yan looked down at the rampaging Kraken, his eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness: "This can only show that my attack only angered it, far from seriously damaging it."
Elliot came up with a very constructive idea: "The Kraken is indeed very strong, but its resilience is not infinite, and it has not used any decent attack methods for so long. We can use human sea tactics to fight without interruption." Attack and slowly grind it to death."
Before Xia Yan could consider the feasibility of this plan, Kraken showed the two "decent attack methods", completely pulling the two dragon-level combat forces into a difficult situation.
…………
"Everyone, the thermal imaging function in my helmet seems to be broken." Yun Ming was eager to verify this with others. At this moment, he desperately hoped that the bright red light spot on the mask was a false alarm caused by the thermal imaging failure.
"It doesn't seem to be damaged," Bai Fei next to her said with a stern look, "There is also something on my display screen..."
Yun Ming still wanted to continue communicating, but three short "beep, beep, beep" came from the public channel. This meant that someone had turned on the mute function for all members, and the content that was about to be broadcast would be extremely important.
Everyone waited quietly. Soon, Pedro, who had silenced everyone, organized his speech and reported the big bad news to them:
"There are enemies on the bottom of the sea! They are rising! They are a group of bird-like creatures. The shape of their wings is very obvious. Their body length is about two meters, and their number is still increasing!"
After Pedro finished speaking the most important part, he only lifted Xia Yan's silence and gave the right to ask questions to the commander of the rescue operation. This is the most correct step, and it makes critical intelligence exchange extremely efficient:
"When did it happen?"
"It's been less than twenty seconds since the first bird-like creature appeared."
"Where did it come from?"
"...I can't answer this question. Judging from the pictures I observed, they appeared out of thin air... and were bred in the darkness of the ruins of Fortress No. 5."
"Are those bird-like creatures highly aggressive in appearance?"
"Definitely yes... Oh! They ate my Tuna Scouts! Sorry sir! I lost their vision!"
Xia Yan ignored the losses of the fish scouts and hurriedly connected to more important targets: "Jin, fire the flares! Shoot the rest, five rounds per round! Everyone be ready for battle!"
"Yun Ming! Your team should leave as quickly as possible and don't stay for a second! There are helicopters to pick you up, and there are teams to cut off the rear for you!"
"Hurricane evacuates immediately and leaves Manila Bay as far away as possible!"
"Elliot, I'll take care of you here in Kraken. Please go deal with those birds!"
"Gentlemen, my order has been issued. Now all members are unblocked. If you have any questions, please ask directly on the public channel."
The ban was lifted and no one spoke for a while. Everyone knew what they were going to do. If it weren't for Xia Yan's courage, this team might have disbanded due to sudden changes.
Yun Ming brought Bai Fei back to the starting point without any danger, and met up with Zhong Yi and others, but... they had no conditions or chance to find Diego.
"It's okay, senior, you can evacuate first." Diego said before Bai Fei could speak: "I'll be fine, senior, please obey Commander Xia Yan's order."
"Say hello to my brother for me." These were the last words left by Diego. Then he turned off his communicator and could no longer be contacted.
"Let's go!" Zhong Yi pushed Yun Ming and Bai Fei in front of him and protected the rear of the team. Jiang Yao was in charge of the unconscious Benita. A group of five people swam quickly to Pedro's rubber boat. The Hurricane had already dispatched a helicopter. If everything went well, they would be able to board it within five minutes.
Jiang Yao, who was swimming at the front, suddenly stopped: "Be careful, there is something in front of you! It seems like... a person?"
Bai Fei immediately knew the identity of the visitor: "Don't worry, they are here to pick us up."
Ten "people" jumped past Yun Ming and others like lightning, rushing straight towards the pursuers behind them, killing the strange birds as easily as mowing grass.
"Who are they?" Zhong Yi was surprised by the bravery of these people.
"Arnold." Bai Fei replied.
At this time, the second round of flares was launched into the sky. With the help of the flash, Yun Ming looked back and saw clearly the appearance of the bird-like creature Pedro said: completely black, with red and brown lines on the leather wings, and an obvious bird-like shape on its head. It has characteristics like a bird's beak, but it has a pair of forelimbs. Taken as a whole, the "strange bird" is actually a quadruped with wings.
Yun Ming would never have expected that when he saw the ferocious strange bird chasing behind him, the first thought that popped into his mind was not nervousness or fear, but the name of the monster: Zuojia.
"This bird looks like something from "Ultraman Tega"."
"Hey, wait."
"What does that Kraken look like... I have only seen the technically processed electronic 3D virtual image on an airplane, but I have never seen it with my naked eyes."
With this thought in his mind, Yun Ming glanced at the center of the chaos from a distance——
Then he was shocked:
"You were deceived! What bastard named it Kraken? What bullshit Kraken? What bullshit king squid? This is Gatanjie!"
