Both sides expressed goodwill, and the players from the Special Defense Department temporarily canceled the alarm and came forward to ask Xu Huo's identity.
Xu Huo showed his ID and said, "I want to go to Lian City. Does the Special Defense Department have any convenient means of transportation?"
Tingcheng was just a small town, so it was impossible for them to know all the important information of the Special Defense Department. They had only heard bits and pieces of information about infectious diseases, but did not know the inside story, so they did not know that the Special Defense Department was waiting for Xu Huo to come back.
But they still knew Xu Huo's name. After all, some of the past rumors became less mysterious as a large number of players began to improve their levels.
"You are Mr. Xu!" There was also an admirer of Xu Huo among the three, who was dancing with excitement, "I have always regarded you as my idol, and it was only because of you that I was transferred to Tingcheng. I didn't expect to meet you." It’s your turn! Can we shake hands?”
Xu Huo did not refuse. He looked at the man who was obviously older than him and said, "Just call me by my name."
"I have been following your deeds," the other party suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I know everything about your dealings with the Special Defense Department. In Area 014, you are definitely a top player, not only because of your strength, but also because of your strength. It’s because no one at the same level can surpass you!”
"I also want to be able to protect my compatriots like you one day!"
"You're too polite. The Special Defense Department is the one who really protects the country." Xu Huo said.
The other party was enthusiastic and familiar, and immediately offered to treat him to breakfast, completely unaware of the constant winks from the two companions next to him.
The last few people sat together in the breakfast bar.
"My name is Li Kui. These two are in the same group as me, Zheng Ting and Yuan Hao." After Li Kui briefly introduced himself, he began to ask what Xu Huo did after leaving 014 last time and whether he came back this time. Is there any special thing to be done? Because almost every time he came back, he would stir up trouble, and he would solve the problem quickly and leave immediately after finishing the matter. It was inevitable that people would think that he was here just for the matter.
Based on his previous experience, Li Kui suppressed his excitement and said: "Is there something big going to happen in Area 014 again? That's why you came back, right?"
Before Xu Huo could speak, the other party asked and answered again: "It must be! Let me guess, I guess, is it because a special mine was discovered abroad?"
"Is it because of the mutation of the virgin forest?"
"Otherwise, all countries in Area 014 jointly announced a limit on the number of copies per month!"
Area 014 begins to evolve. It is normal for the environment to change, but is there a limit to the number of copies?
"I heard it seems to be related to the game," Li Kui said: "All the countries that can participate have agreed. Starting a month ago, players above the C level of the Special Defense Department can no longer apply for copy guides."
In order to allow players to upgrade as soon as possible, the copy guides purchased by the Special Defense Department can be provided to internal staff for free, and every player can apply. Props and pharmaceutical support will also be provided when necessary. This is why the Special Defense Department can always have B-levels so quickly. It's because of the players, even if these B-level players don't have much experience.
Players above level C are no longer supported to grind dungeons. The actual purpose is to control the number of high-level players.
However, there are only a few who can get the support of the government. Compared with the number of players in the entire 014 area, they are not many.
"Is this important?" Li Kui asked tentatively.
"There is no loss for ordinary players." Xu Huo said.
The higher the level, the strength among players is not simply reflected in the equipment. Combat experience and the necessary qualities to clear the dungeon are the most important. Otherwise, even if you enter the dungeon, there is a high probability that you will give equipment to other players.
For ordinary players, knowing this is enough.
Li Kui was also very sensible and did not dwell too much on this issue. Instead, he brought breakfast to Xu Huo to eat.
Before the meal was in your mouth, a convoy came outside. The leading car suddenly stopped at the entrance of the breakfast shop. Team leader Wu, Sima Xiaoer and others got out of the car in a hurry. When they saw Li Kui and others, they took it as a matter of course. He turned his attention to the stranger next to him.
"Brother Xu?" Sima Xiaoer spoke first.
"I haven't seen you for a while." Xu Huo faced an unfamiliar face, but his voice did not change.
Team leader Wu walked over quickly and held his hand enthusiastically, "It's been so long, haha!"
"I'm so happy to have you back, everyone is looking forward to you!"
As he spoke, he was invited to get into the car and went directly to the safe area that had been repaired.
Li Kui and the others followed silently, and squeezed into the same car. They still held breakfast in their hands and said with a smile: "Let Brother Xu make a meal."
Team leader Wu couldn't kick people out. Indeed, it was not a question of hospitality now. He came here to pick up Xu Huo to go to Lianshi.
So he had no choice but to let the driver drive while apologetically asking Xu Huo to deal with it first.
Xu Huo accepted Li Kui's kindness and didn't talk about anything important on the way.
When they arrived at the safe area, the group separated. Team leader Wu invited him to the office to briefly explain the current situation.
In one sentence, the detoxifying bacterial solution is useful, but infected people appeared in two cities.
"No one was caught?" The Special Defense Department had mentioned before that it was definitely a man-made infection.
"We caught two, but it didn't solve the fundamental problem." Team leader Wu said, the ones caught were just ordinary people, who didn't even know that they had become carriers of mutant bacteria.
"There is no gain in tracking the people they have come into contact with." Their identity is not suspicious, and they have not told lies. It is difficult to find out anything wrong with the people they come into contact with. Most of them are randomly selected.
Before a mature and effective monitoring system for players is established in Zone 014, such a situation is impossible to prevent, so we can only start with the antidote first.
"The Special Defense Department should not be helpless and come up with some practical measures. It is impossible to provide an unlimited supply of antidote bacteria." Xu Huo looked at Team Leader Wu.
Of course, Team Leader Wu knew that asking Xu Huo to rescue all the patients was too difficult, but the reality was that they could not think of a better way. They bought and tried all the drugs specially used for sterilization, but the thing grew too fast. It is also parasitic in the human body and cannot be killed at all.
"Let's take a look first and then talk." Xu Huo did not give any guarantee, but proposed to go to Lianshi first.
Even the city where the first infected people appeared also has the highest number of infections.
"The teleportation instrument is ready." Team leader Wu led him over and said, "The instrument can only teleport one person at a time. I will go there later and Jiang Qiao from Lianshi will be responsible for picking you up."
Xu Huo nodded and asked about Nie Xuan before leaving.
Team leader Wu's expression became tense and he sighed sadly, "It just depends on his own luck."
"He has been in the capital recently? Have you seen him?" Xu Huo asked again.
