Chapter 169 Babu, the God of War (two in one)
Amber City.
TRAIN STATION.
Gan Ziwen and Honey Juice came out of the train station gate, looked at the bustling crowd, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally here."
Gan Ziwen said.
"Yeah, this game is so real. We stayed on the train for nine days... Haha, luckily we can skip time by sleeping, otherwise we would be bored to death."
The honey-juice idiot smiled.
"It's really true. I almost suffocated to death on the train... I haven't taken a shower for so long, and all the other passengers stunk. We also became 'walking feces'."
Gan Ziwen tugged at his clothes in disgust and said helplessly.
"Let's go, find a hotel to wash up and take a shower first, otherwise I won't be able to bear it anymore."
"Good idea."
Honey Juice Hanbao followed Gan Ziwen and left the place together, walking slowly along the main road.
It's just that they didn't notice that another group of players came out of the gate not far away from the side and rear.
It was Rotten Persimmon and his group.
Their faces were generally ugly, no one spoke, and they silently followed the leader, Rotten Shima, and left the train station.
"Let's go to the inner city first... The church of Red Apple Church is there. If you also want to join the church, you can try the method I mentioned."
After finishing speaking in a deep voice, Luanshi sighed secretly.
The past few days on the train can be said to be another nightmare for him. The first nightmare was being guarded by Jack, who was so squat that he didn't dare to go online.
In this nightmare on the train, I was killed three times in a row for no apparent reason! Every prompt was that the guy named "Alex" killed him in his sleep.
The train cannot be off the line while the train is in progress, otherwise it will be regarded as "out of transportation" and will be sent directly back to the Emerald Town Railway Station.
Game characters, like normal people, need to eat and rest. It is simply not feasible to resist sleeping.
As long as you are not careful, you will be killed in just a nap.
The resurrection point is automatically bound to the carriage. Sometimes, Lanshi doesn't even see his own death prompt, only to realize that he has already died once.
He was suffering a lot these past few days, fighting against himself every moment, fighting against the weird, damn, that bard.
The other members of the team experienced exactly the same thing as him, each of them died three times in a row.
Fortunately, the last death did not come.
Perhaps it was because the train was far away from the strange bard, or perhaps it was God's mercy. In short, they managed to reach Amber City with only one life left.
Otherwise, it would be too painful to be stuck in the resurrection cooldown and have to wait five days after the game time before being able to go online.
Rotten Persimmon and the others were very happy about this.
They looked at the road signs while walking and used them to unlock the panel map, and then came directly to the "Amber Bridge", which was the only way to the inner city.
They were shocked to find that there were quite a lot of guards on the bridge and they were very strict.
Pedestrians lined up to be examined and interrogated, and seven or eight doctors in black fur coats stood aside to conduct examinations.
They wore crow masks similar to gas masks on their faces, and held a black sandalwood cane in their hands, which they used to contact the subjects and keep a distance. Another person was holding paper and pen to record.
"It seems that the plague outside the city is so serious that an isolation checkpoint has been set up here."
Rotten Persimmon said in a deep voice.
He walked to the end of the long line of people, stood in line, and the rest of the team quickly followed.
When it was almost their turn, Luanshi saw several recruitment notices posted on the wall nearby.
The general content of the first one is that as long as you join the "epidemic prevention team" of the public security station and help eliminate epidemic lunatics, sewer-infected animals and other wild beasts, you can get an Amber City resident certificate, an inner city pass and some monetary rewards.
The other recruitment notices are similar. They are all posted by various official agencies. It can be seen that they are very short of manpower.
"Sir, please show me your identification."
The three guards stood in front of the rotten persimmon, and the leader spoke out.
Rotten Persimmon took out the identity certificate given to him by the Red Apple Church, which marked his legal status as a "church guard".
The guard took it, looked at it, nodded, and handed it back to him. But the way the three guards looked at him became a little strange.
Luanshi noticed a hint of surprise and confusion in their eyes, and didn't know why they had such emotions.
Then, under the instructions of Dr. Crow, he stretched out his finger to prick the needle to draw blood. His eyelids and lips were opened by a hand wearing a black leather glove, and he was carefully inspected before being allowed to enter the inner city.
But his teammates who were traveling with him were not so lucky. Because they had no identification, they had to be temporarily separated.
"You can go read the announcement on the wall, participate in official recruitment, and complete some tasks so that you can obtain proof of identity."
Rotten Persimmon made suggestions.
"There is no other way but this...Brother Roanshi, let's contact you if we have anything to do."
The others looked at each other and finally said helplessly.
"Well, hurry up."
Rotten Persimmon nodded.
Watching the "little brothers" leave, Lanshi noticed that there were sporadic players who appeared in the team, but were turned away due to identification reasons.
In the end, these players will be attracted by the recruitment notice on the wall and immediately sign up spontaneously.
All it takes is identification and passes...
Luanshi shook his head, didn't wait any longer, turned around and walked onto the bridge.

Rotten Shim went straight to the Red Apple Church in the inner city.
When he came to the church, he found that there were only a few residents who came to worship.
Looks quite bleak.
Rotten Shim recalled the pilot film about Jack, which mentioned that this branch seemed to have been destroyed by him once.
Although it was not like the church in Emerald Town, which was directly burned down, the bishop and some guards here in Amber City were all killed by Jack.
The losses were also quite heavy.
"Perhaps this is the reason why there are so few believers here...?"
Luan Shi secretly guessed and pushed open the church door.
He paused quickly.
I found newspapers thrown in from outside scattered on the ground.
I bent down and picked up one at random, and found that these newspapers were very worn and seemed to have been printed a long time ago.
The content of the above report is all about exposing the darkness of the Red Apple Church and the deeds of the "Black Messenger" on behalf of God.
Seeing this, Lan Shi finally understood why there were so few people here.
"Why is it the other way around?! The Red Apple Church is the villain here, but Jack has become the messenger of justice..."
Rotten Shima rolled up the newspaper, his face uncertain.
"Well, you can't believe this kind of report... Moreover, the Red Apple Church is the Orthodox Church and is very powerful. All I need is to use them to develop myself."
He gritted his teeth and walked directly into the church.
In the empty hall, there was only one monk. He was holding the Holy Book of Rose in his hand and telling a few people the gospel of Lady Rose in a calm tone.
For some reason, Luan Shi always felt that this monk had no energy and seemed a bit perfunctory.
He walked straight forward, and the monk stopped his sermon and cast a doubtful look at him.
Luanshi secretly conducted a probe and found that the monk was just an ordinary person.
He took a deep breath, took out his ID, and whispered that he was "one of his own" from Emerald Town, hoping to help the church in Amber City.
The subtext is that I hope to take on some tasks.
This time, the monk from the Red Apple Church could not be punished. The other party was a little stunned, and it took him a while to react.
Because of the previous gallery case and the battle in the square, the top brass of the shelter, Mona’s teacher, Judge Rudolf of Fossil City, submitted accusations against the Red Apple Church to the “Gemstone Ten Cities Council”.
Although it did not have a big impact on the church, it also caused dissatisfaction among the top officials of the empire.
In order to prevent conflicts from intensifying, the church leaders have actually temporarily abandoned the Amber City area, including several nearby large cities and small towns.
So now the symbolic meaning of this Red Apple Church is greater than its practical significance, and soon it will be forced to give way to the Church of the Sun.
"Praise the rose, rotten persimmon, you are truly a devout church guardian."
The monk sighed in admiration.
Then he pondered for a few seconds, looked around, and finally remembered something. He took out a stack of wanted posters from under the cabinet of the pulpit and handed it to Luanshi's hand.
"You can choose to patrol or guard near the church this week, but after next Monday, you will not come again. The specific reasons and follow-up arrangements will be notified then...
After that, you can consider sharing the church's worries by finding and fighting these vicious wanted criminals. ”
Lan Shi accepted the wanted order and received a task prompt box.
Immediately, he chose to accept with some excitement.
The monk's words were a bit strange. Why won't he come next week? Is something big going on?
With some doubts, he turned and left the church.
Just after he walked out of the door, the monk from the Red Apple Church noticed a figure coming out of the side door, so he immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Brother Wright, the handover work is almost completed. Our church will evacuate next week and this place will be completely handed over to the Church of the Sun."
The monk was sweating profusely.
The person standing in front of him was a monk from the Church of the Sun, a middle-aged ascetic with a bald head and long beard.
It is said that the other party is also a member of the "Lamp Keepers", the elite extraordinary force within the Church of the Sun.
There was a smile on Wright's plain face.
He nodded toward the monks of the Red Apple Church, then patted his white robe gently, and turned to look at the door where Rotten Shim left.
"These 'visitors from the spirit world' are indeed strange. Have you discovered anything?"
The monk from the Red Apple Church was slightly startled.
He opened his mouth, but didn't speak.
Wright glanced at him and shook his head.
"It seems that because you have not been promoted to extraordinary, many secrets within the Red Apple Church have not been made known to you...
Okay, I understand, this church will also be renovated by us when the time comes. ”

Lan Shi found his brothers from the Divine Love Guild in Xia Shuitan in the outer city.
I heard that they had accepted a recruitment mission from the Public Security Bureau to help eradicate the plague-ridden rats that were raging in Xiashui Beach.
Lanshi has his own plan. He plans to take these guild teammates to join a certain gang.
In this way, you can lead them to slay rats while participating in gang firefights, taking advantage of the situation to attack the Iron Fist Gang.
While leveling up, you can also complete your own church tasks.
Because Rotten Persimmon had received some information from his senior Kotoujin, the Iron Fist Gang was actually a force under Jack.
The church missions he accepted did not necessarily require him to personally kill those who were enemies of the church. As long as he dealt a blow to the enemy, he would be rewarded according to his contribution.
So I decided to take a handful of Jack's wool.
If you can't deal with this NPC himself, then you can't deal with the ordinary people under him...
Although, Luan Shi would often inexplicably think of the fear of being dominated by Jack's corpse.
He shook his head and didn't think about it too much.
A few days later.
Lanshi left the rental house with his brothers and headed to Xiashuitan to brush monsters and upgrade as usual.
While passing through Denton Street, a commotion was suddenly discovered.
Five or six players rushed out of a grocery store on the street. They each held something valuable in their hands, and they looked like they had just completed a robbery.
The owner of the grocery store was a middle-aged man, covered in blood, crawling out of the store and shouting hysterically for help.
In the nearby coffee shop and bookstore, players rushed out of the shop one after another, and then joined the previous players, seemingly in a group.
The clerks in the coffee shop were injured and screaming in panic.
Mr. Taut from the "Old Cripple Bookstore", one side of his glasses was broken, his face was covered with blood, he was holding on to the door frame with an angry look on his face.
The whole street was filled with chaos.
Two patrolling soldiers happened to see this scene and pulled out the daggers at their waists.
But when they saw that the robbers committed the crime in a gang, and the total number of people there were more than ten or twenty, they suddenly became frightened.
But the sword had already been drawn out, and it would be too embarrassing to take it back, so the two patrol soldiers had no choice but to bite the bullet and blow the warning whistle.
——Beep! Beep! !
Then, holding a dagger, he confronted the players dozens of meters apart.
"Rush over! Don't be afraid! Just two guards!"
"Quick victory! Reinforcements will soon be attracted by the whistle!"
"Let's go!"
The players were filled with murderous intent, shouted a few times, and rushed towards the two patrolling guards.
The two guards were weak and did not want to use force with them. But the players didn't think about it that much. They just wanted to kill the two guys who were blocking the way and then escape.
Clang!
Poof! !
The players rushed over, and two patrol guards gritted their teeth and swung their swords, slashing two players to death.
Then the remaining players took out all kinds of rusty and inferior weapons and fought back.
Jingle bell!
Bang!
The patrolling guards wore leather armor inlaid with iron plates and iron helmets. They endured the intense attacks from the players and were only slightly injured.
But low-level players who only wear linen robes will be killed instantly as long as they are struck by a sword.
"Brothers of the God's Love Guild! Help me! I'll give you 20% of the money I stole!"
Among the players who were fighting, a leading guy looked happy and shouted loudly when he saw the group of Rotten Persimmons who were watching not far away.
Lanshi raised his eyebrows and noticed that the ID brackets of these players were all marked with the word "Shadow Whisperer".
"Shadow Whisperers" is a second-rate guild and is known for its reckless behavior. No wonder they would steal money here.
"Too little, we want half!"
Rotten Persimmon thought for a moment and responded.
The leader of the Shadow Whisperers changed his expression, waved the kitchen knife in his hand, and struck the patrol soldier's helmet with a clang.
The kitchen knife was curled, but the iron helmet only had dents.
The patrolling soldier was startled, swung his sword and slashed another player to death.
When the leading player saw this, he gritted his teeth and turned around.
"Thirty percent! At most 30%!"
"Okay!"
Rotten Persimmon smiled and took out the trumpet musket.
He turned around and gave a few instructions to his companions, then took the lead and rushed forward.
The two guards couldn't help but panic when they saw another enemy joining them.
Bang! !
If the distance is slightly closer, Rotten Persimmon can raise his hand and shoot.
After the loud noise, a guard screamed and fell to the ground. The leather armor between his chest and abdomen exploded, revealing the bloody body underneath.
Then the players who were close at hand slashed him to death with knives.
When the other guard saw this, he immediately turned around and ran away.
Bang! !
But Rotten Persimmon quickly loaded up his ammunition and shot him in the back.
The guard was shot and flew forward, his back stained red. The members of the Divine Love Guild rushed forward to kill him with a last-ditch attack.
If Polaris were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that these two guards were the same two people who had exploited them in the past.
"Thank you..."
There were still half of the players in the Shadowspeaker Guild, so they came over.
Rotten Persimmon had a smile on his face and was about to say something.
"You damn robbers! Murderers! The sun will punish you!"
Mrs. Caroline stood at the entrance of the corridor and yelled angrily.
Her flower shop was closed today, so she was lucky to escape the disaster. But she was attracted by the chaos and noise and came out to see this scene.
"It's so noisy, old lady."
A player from the Shadowspeaker Guild had a sinister look on his face and threw the kitchen knife in his hand hard.
Mrs. Caroline's eyes widened as she looked at the rusty kitchen knife flying straight over.
Poof!
A thin figure stood in front of Mrs. Caroline and slashed his back with a kitchen knife.
Blood splattered, and Mrs. Caroline was surprised to see that the person who shielded her from the knife was the bookstore owner, Mr. Totter.
"Mr. Taut, you...!"
Mrs. Caroline covered her mouth.
"Miss Caroline..."
Taut's face twisted in pain. His lips trembled and his old face twitched.
"What a pity...I didn't have dinner with you...even once."
After saying that, he threw himself in front of Mrs. Caroline.
Mrs. Caroline was breathless and speechless.
This old friend who had been with her day and night for many years died in front of her. As before, she received news of the deaths of her husband and children.
"What the hell, I was blocked!"
The player who lost the kitchen knife said depressedly.
He asked his companion for another knife, smiled, and raised his hand to throw again.
Just then.
Woof woof! !
After two barks, the player immediately felt a pain in his thigh.
He looked down and saw that at some point, a black and white border collie had come to him and opened its mouth to bite him.
"Get away! Dead dog!"
The player yells in pain.
Babu let go of his mouth, jumped up and took another bite, directly biting his throat.
【You are dead! 】
The other players were shocked.
Luanshi raised his gun and prepared to shoot, but was shocked to find that Bian Mu suddenly ran away and killed another player.
"There's something wrong with this dog!"
Rotten Persimmon was shocked.
The Border Collie is very fast and extremely aggressive, unlike an ordinary dog at all.
Most of the players in the Shadowspeaker Guild were quickly killed by Babu. Only two or three of them were left. They dropped what they had grabbed in panic and turned around to run away.
But before they could run a few steps, they were caught up by the border collie and both of them were bitten to death.
The number of people on Lanshi's side was also reduced. He looked ugly and aimed at Bian Mu and fired.
Bang!
Unfortunately, the dog was too fast and only scratched one of its legs.
Ouch!
"Oh! My Babu! Poor child!"
Mrs. Caroline looked sad. She remained squatting, supporting Tote's body, and looked at the injured border collie.
Babu's speed has slowed down slightly due to a leg injury, but the players are still no match for him.
It has taken the [Low Sequence Conspiracy Faction Mysterious Substance] given by Chen Lun, and its physical fitness has been enhanced, and its dexterity attributes are twice as high as those of these players.
And it has a low sense of existence. If you don't pay attention, it disappears from sight.
Rotten Persimmon watched as this dog, which looked like a god of war, bit players to death one after another. At least ten people died in its mouth!
"Let's go! Stop being entangled here!"
Rotten Persimmon shouted.
The group of them had exhausted their number of resurrections on the train. If they died here, they would be forced to log off.
"Take care of this dog next time!"
*
*
*
Scattered players followed the rotten persimmon and escaped. The border collie's leg injury became more and more serious and was not enough to support it to continue chasing.
It stuck out its tongue and its mouth was full of blood.
Squatting in front of Mrs. Caroline, watching the fleeing figures of Rotten Persimmon and his group.
"Babu, good boy..."
Mrs. Caroline was very moved and had tears in her eyes.
Suddenly, she noticed Babu limping toward the end of the street.
"Babu, where are you going?"
asked Mrs. Caroline.
Bian Mu stopped, looked back at her, then turned around and continued to leave.
That direction is the inner city. (End of chapter)
