Chapter 11: The Blackwater Four Part 1
When the battlefield quieted down, everyone eagerly headed to the third floor to join Captain Locke's team. But when we got upstairs, we found that the place where the team had been was already empty. To avoid attacks from the biochemical mother entity, we began searching for our companions.
"It's only been a few minutes since the biochemical virus appeared. I believe no one could have gone far; maybe we can find everyone inside this building."
In fact, in the game, there aren't many hallways to walk through. But now, in the 'Super Fantasy' realistic simulation state, everything was much larger, including this old building. Places we couldn't go in the game could be explored here. Of course, with a larger map, there were naturally more rooms.
'Creek.' I gently opened a door and peeked inside, only to be disappointed to find it completely empty.
"Sigh, still nothing. Even if we can't find anyone, at least finding some gear would be nice!" Glasses kicked the wall, complaining.
"Come on, just getting some gear in hand is good enough. Other than us, no other players are here yet."
"Tch!"
Hearing my reply, Glasses rolled his eyes: "That's what we deserve. Just now, a few of us rushed downstairs, it was so dangerous! Others might not have dared."
Uh!? After hearing Glasses, I couldn't help but bitterly smile: "Now you realize it's dangerous. Seems like the one who was fighting the crazies most just now was you. If it weren't for Wan reacting quickly, you almost got a headshot!"
Forget it, I won't argue with this guy. Business is more important. I turned to ask Gaara: "We've already searched a dozen rooms. Do you think there might really be companions hiding here?"
Gaara looked around the room: "We haven't completely searched the entire building yet. Everything is unknown. But I think the possibility is high, don't give up." After speaking, Gaara turned and walked to the next room.
Hmm, everything is an unknown! What an unsettling answer. Geez, if only we could communicate like we do in the game with typing… huh? Besides typing, how do we usually communicate in the game?
That is to say, if I want everyone to see or hear me, it should be… the radio!Oh, that's right, it's the radio!? Haha! Thinking about this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud happily.
"Hey, big brother, what are you doing!?" Old Wan, who was closest to me, was the first to panic and pounce, covering my wide-open mouth, and nervously said, "Damn, what are you thinking? Do you want to attract the biochemical mother with such a loud noise?"
"Hehe, sorry, sorry!" I waved my hand and freed myself from him. "I just thought of something good."
"You look so sneaky laughing, what is it?"
"The radio! Doesn't CF often have radio messages like ‘Rally at point A' or ‘Enemy encountered'?" I waved my arms excitedly. If we had radios on us, communicating with everyone would be so much easier!
Old Wan froze for a bit, then laughed: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that! Hey, this idea is pretty good!" We all laughed together while Jing flipped his backpack once again: "Hehe, now we should be able to find it!"
"Just a timid question," Xiao Bai said, seeing us happy, seeming unsure if he should ask: "Did Captain Lock give us radios?"
It seemed he didn't. I smiled: "But I think the game should have the equipment, just like our M16 automatic rifles at the very beginning."
"Sophie!" I was explaining when Jing blankly looked at me: "Uh, do you know what a radio looks like?"
"Uh? No!"
I honestly responded. "You… you can't find it in your backpack?"
Oh my god, we didn't even know what a radio looked like!
"Hey, I don't even know what a radio looks like, how am I supposed to find it?"
"No need to look!" Ai Luo spoke up. Just like radar, maybe you just won't be able to find it.
"Why? How do you know we can't find it? Maybe if we look carefully…"
"Even looking carefully won't work!"
Ai Luo threw a bucket of cold water on us: "You couldn't even find the most common radar, how could you possibly find a radio? Besides, Captain Lock only temporarily made a few of us the vanguard, and didn't give us radios for communication."And even if we find them, it's useless. The radio is so loud, the whole building might hear it. Do you think those monsters won't be able to find us? ”? "Maybe......?" Hearing Gaara's last sentence, I opened my mouth but didn't know what to say. Indeed, what he said made a lot of sense; I couldn't find any reason to argue back. Glasses looked at me very frustrated: "Sorry, I really don't know what a radio looks like." ”? "Enough, even if you know, it won't help!" Old Wan sighed and boredly started wandering down the hallway: "What the heck, not even a contact info!" At this rate, no matter how good our gear is, facing a large group of bio-zombies will just be asking for trouble! ”? "Indeed, the current situation is a bit difficult, but don't say anything discouraging." Gaara seemed to think his words had been too discouraging and offered comfort: "If any game has no difficulty from the start and can go smoothly to the final level, isn't that too easy? And I think ......?" Halfway through his sentence, Gaara suddenly froze, and the next sentence couldn't continue. His eyes stared straight over Old Wan, staring blankly ahead. Hmm? What's wrong? What did he look at? Following his gaze, I was suddenly startled! Th-...... that? Not far ahead, on the ground, two shadows appeared behind a wall! What are they? Could they be the Biochemical Mother? Or perhaps their own companions? Or maybe the Guardians—who knows where those guys have gone. He clenched his index finger and put it to his mouth, signaling him to keep his voice down. We all saw those two shadows and quietly waved our hands. Everyone understood, raised their machine guns, and was ready to move their fingers immediately at the slightest sign of something wrong. I was secretly alarmed. No matter who it is, it absolutely must not be the Biochemical Mother!? Gaara seemed to see through my thoughts, turned around, and whispered, "I don't think it's the Matrix. Even if those two shadows stacked together, they're not that big. There's no way they're two thick biochemical Mother Shadows!" Once the Mother Mother spots her target, she'll definitely lunge at us. Those who will stand still in place are probably two rookie eggs eavesdropping on our conversation. ”?“Hmm, as long as it's not a Biochemical Mother, it's fine, but…” I turned my head and looked at him curiously. It's one thing to be able to immediately deduce that it's not a Biochemical Mother, but how did this guy know that the other two were rookies?
Seeing my bewildered expression, Ailo chuckled lightly: “Those two guys thought they were hiding really well, but they were standing in the wrong spot. Because they were too close to the window, the light from outside exposed their shadows, and they didn't even notice! Haha, do you think someone who makes such a mistake is not a rookie but an experienced soldier?”
“I see!” I looked at him admiringly. This guy is amazing, instantly able to analyze so much information.
“Alright then, let's go!”
Since they weren't Biochemical Mothers, it was simple: whoever it was, we would first take control. If they were allies, all would be well; if enemies, we would eliminate them! I waved, and everyone instantly dispersed, advancing in a wide encirclement.
The two of them hadn't heard our voices for a long time and seemed to feel that something was wrong. One shadow swayed, and a head slightly peeked out.
“Still hiding!”
I shouted and jumped up. The two obviously guilty people were startled. Just as they panicked and tried to flee, Lao Wan and the others suddenly dropped from all directions, immediately encircling them. The barrels of everyone's guns instantly locked onto the two.
“Who… are you?”
“Sp… spies?” The spectacled one was about to scold them fiercely, only to discover that the two were actually undercover agents.
Whew, that's great! I breathed a sigh of relief—at least they were on our side.
“Ha, they're allies!”
The two undercover agents also breathed a sigh of relief, apparently really frightened by us earlier. It was a false alarm!
“Hey, hey! Who are you guys, eavesdropping on us here? What happened to the rest of the undercover agents, why is it just the two of you?”
“Uh, hello! We are undercover agents from Blackwater Company. The team captain sent us out to gather information. As for the others… seems like we got separated.”
