Chapter 14:
Tang Xiao took a bottle of water and poured it into the man's mouth. The man took a few breaths and motioned them to look at the little girl in his arms, "My, child, save her..."
Tang Xiao touched the little girl, his breath still alive. Several people took the child out, and the man said with difficulty, "My wife, she's behind the shelf. Please..."
The data inside is very important. If possible, send it to the capital and hand it over to the headquarters... Please, please..."
He seemed to want to kowtow, but his movements became slow and stiff, his pupils dilated and his breathing stopped.
Turning over his body, it turned out that a steel bar had been pierced through his shoulders, and he had been maintaining a protective posture to protect his daughter under him, holding his last breath, until now he died.
The briefcase contained a stack of documents, along with an ID card.
"Li An." Tang Xiao read out the man's name and closed his eyes, "Go all the way. I'll deliver the things for you."
The player's mission is to resist the end, no matter how far the virus spreads, no matter how many people are left alive. They all have to stay in this world until the very end.
These are the words of the game.
[Ding, get the plot item "Antidote Research Data". Player Tang Xiao triggers the side quest "Pass the Fire of Hope"]
Please **** the data to the headquarters of the Hope Organization to promote vaccine development. 】
[Task reward: Randomly get a special permission. 】
As soon as the task prompt came out, the briefcase in my hand seemed to be heavier.
"Save the fire of hope, pass the fire of hope... Is this mission still a series?"
Tang Xiao still remembers that the first mission in the game was to **** researcher Wei Ping in the SB company, called "Save Hope Tinder". It's been a month now, and I don't know how the fat researcher is doing now.
But... there seems to be something wrong.
Tang Xiao squinted his eyes and finally discovered the reason. In the far corner of the information bar, there is a small red dot flashing in the pocket, if you look carefully, you can't find it.
What is this? Tang Xiao ruthlessly pulled it out, and a golden reminder bar popped open in front of his eyes.
"Congratulations to the player for unlocking the second [Hope Mission] and becoming the No. 1 task progress leader in the current world map! The first person can receive a Buff reward."
There is a small gift bag jumping below the prompt bar, click to receive it, and a small circle that keeps spinning appears in front of you.
"Loading for you—"
After waiting for a while, the loaded frame has not disappeared. Tang Xiao poked around on it, "It hasn't been loaded yet? Did your system ask Jinjiang to do it?"
"It is loading for you, if the speed is too slow, you can buy the [Novice Acceleration Pack], as long as..."
Tang Xiao: "Knock in and spit out the reward!"
The information bar flicked, and the gift bag slammed open: "Get the buff [Hope Leader]"
"Introduction: The leader's path cannot be obstructed by infighting. This is the consensus of the world's consciousness. Players who get this Buff can have 30 seconds of invincibility against other players every day, and perceive from players At the same time, the favorability of all plot characters to the player is X2, and the hostility of monsters is X2. This buff is only for those who want the highest mission progress."
Her reward? live?
After equipping the Buff, Tang Xiao looked at the four big green characters on his head, although he was very surprised, but... "Can you change the color?"
She confirmed to the system: "The 30 seconds of invincibility must be used up at one time, or can it be controlled freely?"
"The player can control the status switch. When the status is on, the title will be visible to all players."
In other words, when she enters the invincible state, all players next to her can see the green title on her head... Okay.
Chen Guang had found the man's wife at this time. The man was still alive and regained consciousness soon after the rescue. Knowing the news of her husband's death, she struggled to crawl over to look, and then fainted when she saw the body.
When she woke up this time, she cried while holding the child, "The base was breached by zombies... The three of us escaped, but there were too many zombies, so we could only hide in a nearby warehouse, food The water ran out very quickly, and when the child couldn't take it anymore, we ran out."
From her narration, we know that her name is Chen Lingling, and the youngest daughter in her arms is called Xiaohua. The family came out to look for food, but there was a steady stream of zombies on the road. Finally, they hid in this convenience store that had been looted. The husband hid her in the cargo box, and took her daughter to hide elsewhere.
The last memory of her waking up was the screams of her husband and the cry of her daughter during the howls of zombies.
Everyone is silent, the pain of losing a loved one is difficult to eliminate, but fortunately Chen Lingling is strong enough. She decided to take the child to the capital and inherit her husband's wishes until the day the antidote was developed.
"We'll go with you."
Chen Lingling looked at them in shock, "Are you really willing to bring me and Xiaohua?"
They escaped from the base, not without encountering strong survivors, nor without pleading with these people, but no one was willing to lend a hand. As for ordinary people, self-help is still difficult, let alone helping others.
Chen Guang is very good at comforting people. After persuading Chen Lingling, he goes to coax Xiaohua. But although he is handsome, he is stubborn, and with a bald head, Xiaohua is afraid when she sees him, so she sobbs and doesn't smile at all. Instead, Fat Monday got close, and Xiaohua stopped crying.
"This fat brother is so tall." Xiaohua tiptoed to Fat Zhou's thigh.
"This elder sister is so beautiful." Xiaohua went to Tang Xiao's leg again, her eyes clear.
Ignored Chen Guang: "…"
"Brother is also very handsome." He tried to restore his image.
Xiaohua pursed her lips, turned and hid behind Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao laughed out of schadenfreude and touched Xiaohua's head, "This fierce-looking brother is called Chen Guang, you can call him Brother Guang."
Chen Guang: "Hello!"
"The big brother who is very tall is called Zhou Bao, can you call him...Brother Bao?"
Xiaohua's voice was crisp: "Fat brother!"
Pang Zhou laughed: "Okay, it's good to call it this."
"As for me, my name is Tang Xiao." Tang Xiao snorted twice on Xiao Hua's soft hair, "Just call me sister."
Xiaohua blinked twice, as if remembering something, "Tang Xiao, I heard it!"
The author has something to say:
[Small Theater* After Chen Guang successfully gained Xiaohua's trust]
Xiaohua: "Good morning, Brother Guang!"
Chen Guang: “…”
