Li Quyi is twenty-one years old and is still a student...but he is already a professional explorer, the kind who has two or three younger brothers.
He was a student union cadre of Hengheng University of Science and Technology in Hewan City, and was the pride of the campus. However, when he entered the professional society early because he was too good, he suffered severe beatings from society.
During the graduation season, he and several senior classmates set up a small company and began to accept some official and private commissions... Judging from the results, the seven partners have worked until the current three, or, very There will soon be two.
"...give up on me, you still have a chance..."
Liu Ge, the partner who was sleeping with him, came out. His breathing and wailing were on Li Quyi's back, and blood dripped on his feet and flowed to the ground.
"No, we still have hope..."
Carrying the wounded on his back, Li Quyi moved forward numbly. As the captain and the core, he said words that he didn't even believe.
Behind him were six other people, all of them injured, some young and some middle-aged.
One of them is his last partner, and the rest probably come from at least three teams.
"...You can't escape. If you don't let me go, Brother Li, you can't escape. We are like wild dogs, being driven away..."
His words made everyone feel cold.
Indeed, they were like wild dogs, driven away at will by people with sticks.
After losing the means of communication, the Os people took the initiative on the battlefield.
Most of the Dongguo people hunted and explored this world in small groups. When the war suddenly came, they anxiously communicated with each other. When the radio suddenly cut off, they became a lonely boat on the sea. .
Only a very small number of teams had independent intelligence capabilities. When contact was severed, they were blindfolded and thrown into the sea of confusion.
What's even more deadly is that there are hungry sharks all around.
They come in swarms, are the most numerous, and have a keen sense of smell... When a small group of Dongguo people encounter them, they are like shipwrecked people encountering a swarm of sharks.
It's not that the Dongguo people didn't save themselves, but they were beaten too suddenly and lost the most important intelligence support.
Having lost their source of information, they naturally tried to unite with each other. They gathered spontaneously at various key nodes and formed various self-protection teams...
"...The result is that the more people gather, the more priority they get attacked."
The Os people are already quite proficient in this set of tactics. They use legions and multiple battle groups to bully stragglers, and give priority to attacking small and medium-sized teams trying to assemble.
As soon as the team of ten or twenty people was formed, they were attacked by a large group.
Needless to say, the result was that it was not a competition on the same level at all. One side was still fighting, and the other side was already in a war.
"...Do we still want to go to the next meeting point?"
Some of the team members looked hesitant and uneasy, but they still asked such words.
For a moment, no one dared to answer.
Continue to try to gather together to keep warm? That would probably just bring disaster to others.
In the current situation, the Os people, who have the advantage of intelligence, will attack whoever has the most people first.
Li Quyi's temporary team was composed of broken soldiers and defeated generals. They no longer knew whether there was any point in continuing to struggle.
"...They didn't pounce on us now, they just wanted to wait for us to die naturally and reduce the damage in the battle..."
"Perhaps it would be better for others to stop here..."
"I can't stand it..."
It was not only the wounded soldiers who were depressed, but the most unlucky one in the group, who had been attacked four times and had seen his friends die.
Despair is not due to pessimism, but a reality that is more severe than the most pessimistic expectations. Some people are seriously considering whether to die here and suffer less.
This cannot continue.
Li Quyi raised his head, as if he was planning to say something. He knew that if this continued, even if there was no next attack, his team would be doomed.
But looking back at his bandaged companion, he sighed helplessly and said nothing.
At this time, it would be the cruelest thing to blindly give expectations that cannot be fulfilled...
"Sha...sha...someone..."
Suddenly, a voice came from the intercom.
Everyone paused. The next moment, someone suddenly realized what was happening. He quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and turned the volume up to the maximum!
"...We are Wang Xi'er of the ancient city...and the Lupingan team. We have rebuilt the radio towers at x37, y119, and... built a defense line, received... .Stay close to...us...for help...medical..."
At this moment, the desperate people's eyes lit up.
"Woo woo woo, why... couldn't it be earlier..."
Li Quyi, who was extremely surprised, was confused by the familiar crying sound behind him.
Why do you say this? Doesn’t this give you new hope? All can be saved...
He subconsciously turned sideways and turned around, only to realize that the person on his back, Liu Ge, who liked to sing, had left without a trace...
".......asshole."
He clenched his fists and cursed, but even he didn't know who he was cursing.
What if it was faster? Can his brother survive? Maybe.
So, is this a scolding for slow communication? Scolding yourself for being incompetent? Or...the Os people who caused all this!
"Let's go... let's go..."
Taking a deep breath, Li Quyi's eyes were no longer afraid and uneasy. The blood-red twins looked towards the endless forest, as if evil wolves were hiding in it.
"Revenge for Liu Ge and everyone."
The words with a deliberately suppressed tone are hatred and determination compressed to the limit.

Lu Ping'an stood near the front line of the temporary camp, flipping through the book and performing his duties to guard the camp.
Everyone knows that when this "public screen notification" is sent out, this base and its coordinates will become the focus of the war.
Around him, the three law-level warriors were either retreating behind closed doors or taking a bird's-eye view of the front... Their combat power was ready, and they wanted to cut off any possible attacks from the Aussies as soon as possible.
But the wounded came first.
Those who can wear bandages and walk are better.
Those who were seriously injured and were carried or dragged here were also the lucky ones.
A tired face is lucky, a hateful face is normal.
There are still tears while crying all the way, and those who are silent as if they were dead, many have lost everything.
"......why why?"
Along the way, Lu Pingping heard this sentence the most.
They couldn't understand it. The explorers who were still in the peaceful area of Eastern Kingdom two months ago really had no reason to understand.
Why did he and his party have to encounter such a bad luck? Why did they behave like this...
"...Aren't we all human? Why are they so cruel..."
"I'm just here to make money with my brother. We're here to collect resources and mine. My brother is a pure healer who has never even killed a chicken!"
"...Did we do something wrong? Why did they..."
The same words left everyone in the camp speechless.
Compared with these wounded and remnant soldiers, the two stronger local teams were really lucky...or perhaps, being more powerful was the reason for that "lucky".
The "why"s come out one after another, which makes people helpless.
This was not because they, as explorers, were not mentally prepared to die in battle, but that they really did not expect that in this vast world, they and their loved ones would die inexplicably at the hands of similar people.
Can't understand? I don’t understand it at all, and even those who barely know some Xuanli Stone cannot accept this...
"... Are these broken stones worth killing people for?" They couldn't understand, even if these stones were priceless, were they worth killing for? This is a crime.
The Dongguo people in the peaceful world may not be worse than the Os people in terms of absolute strength and experience, but they are indeed a little "inadequately prepared" for certain cruel realities and the lower limits of human beings for profit.
They were still living in a society ruled by law a few months ago, but they were indeed unprepared for this other world that was already filled with cruel and bloody battles.
More and more people.
Those who were seriously injured went to receive treatment, but those who could still fight were preparing for battle. They also whispered about their previous experiences and the grievances and confusion in their hearts.
The "why"s that were filled with confusion and doubts eventually lost their meaning.
I asked, questioned, and yelled, but there was no answer. In other words, everyone knew the answer.
The remnants of the soldiers arrived one by one, the sad past became more and more dull as they talked about it, and the smell of blood and the eyes of hatred gradually accumulated.
Hatred replaced doubt, murderous intent replaced fear.
Why? It doesn't matter anymore.
When the roaring engine sounded at the bottom of the mountain, and when the Osmans arrived as expected, a frail girl spoke out everyone's thoughts.
"Pay with blood, kill them all!"
Why? What caused all this? Oh, it really doesn't matter anymore.
"Snapped!"
Lu Ping'an, who had been watching calmly, closed the book and pushed up his glasses.
"Perhaps, someone needs a little...salvation."
