Chapter 336 Temporary Armistice

Wasteland world, permafrost tundra alliance outpost camp.

"A truce? What's going on?" Qi Lin looked at Karachev in front of him in surprise, and his hand holding the cup froze in place.

Not only was he very surprised when he heard the news, but there were also bursts of disputes and noises from players outside the room out of surprise and dissatisfaction.

"It's something in the real world...a senior executive from the Mitsui consortium was killed when he came to China for an unannounced visit, and then a guy named Lei Xiaoze was next to him at that time...now almost the whole world recognizes it The man was killed by Lei Xiaoze," Karachev said.

"Lei Xiaoze? Surnamed Lei... Is he from the Lei family of the Consortium Alliance?"

"That's right, he is not only a member of the Lei family, but also an official member of the consortium alliance."

"But the one who died was from the Mitsui Consortium. Why did we have to have a truce with Yamato Heavy Industries?" Qi Lin was a little puzzled. The Mitsui Consortium is now buried in a corner of the permafrost tundra and has not participated in the recent wars at all.

"Although the Mitsui Consortium and Daiwa Heavy Industries have been in a competitive relationship since before the war, they are all from Dongying—and, after the assassination of the Mitsui Consortium's executives, Daiwa Heavy Industries immediately Standing up to speak for the Mitsui consortium, the current situation is that the Mitsui consortium and Daiwa Heavy Industries have stood on the same front and jointly put pressure on the consortium alliance."

"Is the murderer that Lei Xiaoze?"

"I don't know, but whether it is or not, it is impossible for the Consortium Alliance to hand over people - Lei Xiaoze's status in Lei's family is no lower than that of the Mitsui Consortium executive who was killed. But at this time It can't be too tough, otherwise it would be bad if the Mitsui consortium and Yamato Heavy Industries are forced to form a real alliance, so there is such a temporary truce agreement."

"In other words, this situation is the product of the 'compromise' of the three parties?"

"That's almost what it means, but this situation won't last long. The people above are still arguing. After they finally come to a conclusion, the battle will definitely continue, but I don't know if they will quarrel. How long has it been?" Kalachev said, walking to the table and pouring himself a cold cup of coffee.

"Yamato Heavy Industries is procrastinating, and the alliance's army has assembled. If they delay for one more day, the alliance will waste countless supplies... War has always been a waste of money and people." Qi Lin said.

"No way, we can only be dragged. Otherwise, if the originally neutral Mitsui consortium directly joins the battle and stands on the side of Yamato Heavy Industries, we have no chance of winning at all." Kalachev said, taking a sip of coffee.

Qi Lin was silent for a few seconds, and then silently took a big sip of coffee—even though he is now a powerful third-level evolutionary, even though the Gauss sniper rifle in his hand can kill people three thousand meters away, even though he He still holds the entire city of steel in his hands, but no matter what, he is still a small person, just like the hundreds or thousands of people in the entire camp, they are pawns that are insignificant to the overall situation and can be sacrificed at any time.

There have probably been many times when the wheels of history have been turned by little people like them. But more often, they are tied to the wheel of history and roll forward involuntarily. If they want to resist, they will be crushed immediately-of course, if the person who wants to resist is strong enough, maybe Also able to give the heavy wheel a jolt before being crushed.

Qi Lin didn't want to be crushed, but he also didn't want to fall into the dark quagmire with the wheel going all the way to the abyss.

...

...

Due to the truce order issued by the alliance, all the alliance troops assembled in the Gray Ridge Mountains area retreated to the alliance's own defense zone. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yamato Heavy Industries swallowed a large area of ​​neutral areas that were originally sandwiched between the borders of the two sides. And began to frantically build fortifications.

They also know that once the war of words above is over, the alliance army will definitely make a comeback.

On the Alliance side, although both regular troops and mercenaries have retreated behind the defense zone, a large number of weapons and equipment are still transported to the front line every day, and the number of players staying in the front line area is also increasing. It was the outpost camp where Qi Lin and the others were located, which had already been expanded twice—although neither side launched an attack, they were always in a state of ready swords and crossbows, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger.

During this period of time, Qi Lin took the time to go back to the 147th outpost...

As soon as he stepped into the outpost, he easily slipped into Persephone's office. At this moment, Persephone happened to be sitting behind the desk alone, reading the defense report of the outpost's defense area during this period.

"Why are you back?" Seeing Qi Lin, Persephone's winking eyes instantly narrowed into a crescent shape, "Could it be because you know the taste..."

"Ahem, why don't I just take a look? Anyway, the front line won't be fighting for a while." Qi Lin sat down on Persephone's desk carelessly, and casually picked up a pen on the table. Playing around, but at this moment, he noticed several bright roses and an exquisite card in the trash can beside the table. As for what was written on the card, Qi Lin could guess without looking at it. arrive.

"Is this from Arthur?" Qi Lin pointed to the things in the trash can.

"What, are you jealous?" Persephone stood up, walked to Qi Lin's side, stretched out her arms, hugged Qi Lin's waist from behind, and pressed her head on his back.

"No... It's just that, to get such fresh roses in this ghost place, that guy must have paid a lot of money, right? It seems that he really fell in love with you."

"Hehe..." Persephone suddenly let out a chuckle, "What if I told you that that guy gave each of his lovers exactly the same bouquet of roses? Would you still think so?"

Qi Lin didn't speak, but turned his head and put his nose close to Persephone's neck, greedily sniffing the unique fragrance on the other person's body, at the same time, a restless hand followed along. The hem of Persephone's clothes stretched in...

Just when some plots that would be triggered by Starting Point 404 were about to happen, Qi Lin caught the sound of slight but hasty footsteps, and he immediately let go of Persephone, whose body was already weakening in his arms, Jumped off the desk and straightened the messy clothes.

"Snapped!"

The door of the office was directly opened, and Li Arthur walked in holding a large bunch of white lilies——

"Fanny, I heard that you don't like roses. I managed to get these unmutated Siberian lilies. This kind of white flowers really match your elegant and noble temperament...Why are you here?"

Seeing Qi Lin, Li Arthur froze and froze in place.

"Huh? Mr. Arthur, long time no see." Qi Lin greeted him with a smile.

"You... Fanny... what are you doing?!" Arthur looked at Qi Lin, then at Persephone, when he found that Persephone's original ponytail had been draped over her shoulders, With an abnormal blush, Arthur instantly felt an uncontrollable anger surge in his heart.

Yesterday, some readers complained that the main character stayed in the game world for too long... This makes me really sick. Of course, Qi Lin can go offline to rest, take a shower, eat, etc. in places that you can't see. Wait, wait... And with the strengthened physique, it is not a problem to stay in the game cabin for several days and nights.
