Chapter Eighteen: The Gradually Burning Flame
"This is the first time humans have participated in a war game~"
"An unprecedented feat!"
"Pufferfish Tavern, drinks are free today, go and join the carnival~"
A dilapidated motorcycle was parked on the bank of the river, and the loudspeaker in front of the car was playing advertisements on a loop.
Suoman held the steamed bun that he had eaten more than half of, sat on the iron pillar on the shore that was used to tie the ship's rope, and looked up at the sky in the gray fog area.
The mobile phone screen on his lap was playing a live broadcast of the central square, which was brilliant and brilliant, but all he could see at this time was a gray fog that barely let out some light.
The only thing he can enjoy is the cloudy weather that only happens once every six months in this area.
At this time, there was still about half an hour before the game started, and his promotion had been going on all day.
With the money left by Yan Jing, the publicity effect was very good. Judging from the photos taken by colleagues in the chat software, the free pubs everywhere were full.
Although these people didn't know or care who Yan Jing was, they did appear in the tavern and started watching the war game.
This is enough!
'After tonight, you will be remembered by everyone!'
Watching the fleeting Yan Jing in the playback on the screen, Suoman finished the remaining steamed buns in one gulp, got up and pushed the cart to a nearby tavern.
He has tried his best to complete his task, and the rest depends on how well Yan Jing can perform.
Only after pushing the cart for a short distance, Soman came face to face with a group of "savages" who had painted themselves colorfully and covered themselves with various torn animal skins coming from the other side of the street.
They loudly discussed the contestants in the city, recounting their names one by one, and imitating several beast roars from time to time, as if they wanted to spiritually become blood purifiers and be with them in this way.
Suoman knows how pissy these people are, and he will definitely ridicule them when he sees ordinary people.
Because they have become spiritual blood purifiers and must be distinguished from the untouchables. They dare not show off in front of the real blood purifiers and can only show off in front of ordinary people like them.
This was indeed the case. As soon as the two sides met, several people looked at Soman.
Soman, who had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, lowered his head subconsciously and pushed the motorcycle into the corner. He didn't want to conflict with these people. He had done this in the past, but this time he did so and suddenly realized the horn in front of the car.
Not closed.
"For the first time, humans have participated in... What nonsense are you talking about? How can ordinary people participate in war games?"
Someone heard the voice from the loudspeaker, stepped forward and patted the front of the car, looked at Soman, and asked questions in his words,
"Tell me, which shameless guy asked you to do the publicity?"
"This is a fact. Yan Jing, a fighter from Gray Mist District 3, has participated in the war game. The game is about to start. If you want to watch it, you can go to the Fugu Tavern..."
Before he could finish speaking, Soman was pushed against the wall by these people, and the horn on the front of the car was knocked to the ground.
"Even if a human participates in a war game, he is still serving as cannon fodder. Compared with those powerful blood purifiers, he is nothing. Do you understand?"
After a few more slaps on Soman's head and cheeks, these people seemed to have something else to do. They kicked the speaker on the ground into the river and left directly.
Suoman, who stayed where he was, hunched his upper body and groaned a few times. He looked at the leaving figures of the group, thinking about what would happen to them if Yan Jing was here, and wanted to stop them and curse them.
In the end, he picked up the cell phone on the ground and put it back in his pocket, then pushed the motorcycle away.
After walking half a street, I rubbed my hair in annoyance. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became. I turned back and looked at the direction where the group of people left.
After waiting for a while, he sighed sadly, turned around and left again.
When he arrived outside the Fugu Tavern, half a street away, Suoman saw the crowd gathering in front of the Tavern. He excitedly smoothed his messy hair and hurried over.
However, when he arrived at the door of the tavern, he found that the atmosphere here was extremely deserted.
There were indeed many people who came over after hearing his propaganda, but they did nothing else when they entered the tavern. They either picked up bottles of wine and drank heavily, or they kept eating snacks such as biscuits provided by the tavern.
No one was watching the TV on the bar, which made Soman frown.
The news he got from Yan Jing was to publicize the latter's affairs as much as possible. If this situation continues, no one will even look up at the screen after the war game is over.
Entering the tavern, Soman quickly glanced at the TV screen and realized that what was playing on it was footage of the central square, and what was being filmed inside was the cheering scenes of various blood purifiers.
Not to mention other people, Suoman would not be interested at all when seeing this kind of scene.
Taking three steps at a time, Suoman stepped forward, grabbed the remote control and directly tuned to the live broadcast channel of Gray Fog District Three. Suoman had checked the live broadcast method of the war game in advance and knew that each city had a corresponding shooting team.
Sure enough, as soon as the channel was adjusted, a group of contestants including Yan Jing appeared on the screen.
They are taking an airboat to the competition venue.
"Look, Yan Jing has appeared. He is a real person! Not one of those blood purifiers!"
Soman amplified the sound of the TV and shouted loudly. However, when he turned around, he still saw only a few people raising their heads, and the rest were still eating, paying no attention to what was going on around them.
Things turned a deaf ear.
Holding the remote control high, Suoman looked at the scene in front of him with excitement, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed...
In the camera behind him, the game has entered the final fifteen minutes of countdown.
In the airship, in front of the camera of the camera crew, the contestants from the three areas of gray fog are making final preparations.
What happened earlier on the platform outside the venue obviously had a big impact on the entire team, so that Yan Jing sat alone on one side, while the remaining people crowded across from him. Not only did they have no intention of communicating,
Even eye contact is avoided as much as possible.
Although Yan Jing successfully entered the venue at that time, his actions have completely made their team the target of public criticism.
It is foreseeable that when the game starts, they will inevitably face siege from other teams. Other urban areas have even completed the series in private. They must first get rid of Yan Jing as a competitor before officially starting the game.
"According to the results of the previous lot selection, this war game will be held in the tenth district of gray fog, which is the most chaotic. Our arrival location is the Golden Street in the tenth district. There are several points that must be paid attention to in this area."
Wu Lu also noticed the strange atmosphere in the team, but now facing the camera, he could not say anything more. He could only hope that Yan Jing could fulfill his promise and achieve the final victory.
After a brief silence, Wu Lu continued.
"First of all, Gray Mist District 10 has become a gathering area for many criminal organizations and gangs because it has been in chaos and turmoil all year round. Therefore, after the operation begins, you must be on guard against not only other competitors, but also local armed personnel.
.”
"Secondly, some unpleasantness that happened before may cause us to encounter some unexpected situations. We must follow our pre-planned actions to avoid conflicts and focus on finding high-value targets as our core mission!"
"Finally, under the premise that the scope of movement is constantly shrinking, you can divide into two teams and be careful to save yourself as much as possible."
Some words cannot be said clearly, but several blood purifiers in the team still understood the meaning behind Wu Lu's words.
It is nothing more than focusing on Yan Jing, avoiding battles with other participating teams, and capturing high-value targets first. But in the end, if they are really besieged, they can abandon Yan Jing, after all, the latter is the main target of other participating teams.
.
Yan Jing can naturally understand the information hidden in the words.
But now he is not interested in talking about these things anymore, he just wants the war game to start quickly.
He couldn't wait any longer!
