Chapter 152 Cruise Ship
Yin City, a milk tea shop on a certain floor of the city building.
"What do you want to drink?"
Li Ang, wearing casual clothes, stood behind the cabinet of the milk tea shop, skillfully pried open the counter and dug out the cup from inside.
Wang Congshan, who was wearing a blue dress, stood in front of the cabinet and thought for a moment, "Hongdou double skin breasts."
"All I need is this poplar twig nectar,"
Chai Chai, who was sitting at the window seat of the milk tea shop, was playing with his mobile phone and said in a long voice without raising his head: "Double mango base."
"ok."
Li Ang picked up the cup with red beans, turned it around like a bartender, and followed the graphic instructions in the employee manual to operate the machine to make milk tea.
At this moment, the milk tea shop that should have been crowded with people was empty except for three people.
Even on the street outside the store, not a single person could be seen.
This is all because Li Ang is coming,
In order to avoid accidents (mainly to protect ordinary people in the city buildings), the Special Affairs Bureau activated the [Idle Persons Retreat] spell in this area an hour before Li Ang arrived, clearing out the city.
The first time I visited the city building, it had the effect of cleaning the streets.
Li Ang was not disappointed by the deserted surroundings. He hummed his own melody happily and quickly finished making two cups of milk tea and handed them to Wang Congshan.
Then I made myself a cup of jasmine green tea, took the milk tea, sat by the window, inserted the straw slowly, and chatted with Wang Congshan.
"So, you got the third land card now?"
"Um."
Wang Congshan nodded, "Miss Liu and Mule and I performed a team cooperation script task.
That script is close to the steampunk style real world of the early 20th century.
We three players were transported to a large passenger ship with complete and luxurious interior facilities, similar to the Titanic.
There are 2,200 crew members and passengers on board, as well as hundreds of steam-powered anthropomorphic mechanical guards.
Our mission is to find and kill alien monsters that can disguise themselves as humans on the passenger ship.
There was only one of these alien monsters at first, but every once in a while, it would attack, erode, and replace humans.
The human beings who were replaced had no abnormalities at all in appearance, and their speech and behavior were all normal.
And inside the body, the alien monsters will proliferate and divide,
After the split is completed, the alien monster will control the human body to find the next target.
through physical contact,
Such as shaking hands, hugging, kissing,
The child body parasitizes others and achieves expansion silently. "
She inserted the straw into the milk tea lid and said casually: "The system requires us to protect as many ordinary people as possible.
The more survivors there are at the end, the more generous the reward will be.
If there are fewer than three hundred survivors, the mission fails. "
"oh?"
Li Ang sipped his milk tea, "Judging from the description, it's quite interesting.
Has your strength been suppressed? "
"No."
Wang Congshan shook her head, "But how should I put it...
The technology tree thieves in that scenario world are weird,
Obviously, paddle steamers only use ordinary steam turbines, and their top speed is only 23 knots.
But the steam gear robot they made has ridiculously high combat effectiveness.
Invulnerable, indestructible, and unaffected by any mind interference skills,
Only obey the master's orders - each steam gear robot is equipped with a paired whistle when it leaves the factory. The user can blow the whistle to issue instructions.
Since the shape of the whistle is designed according to the mouth shape of the customer who ordered the robot,
Therefore, even if someone else picks up the whistle, they cannot use the steam mechanical guard.
Moreover, that ship, like the Titanic, is a world-famous transoceanic luxury cruise ship with many dignitaries on board..."
"oh oh."
Li Ang immediately thought of the difficulty of the task,
"Let me guess, many crew members on the ship have corresponding whistles to call the steam machinery guards.
The dignitaries on board also have their own steam machinery escorts.
These people will definitely not listen to the words of strangers at first. Even if the players warn that there are alien monsters on the ship, they will not take it seriously. Instead, they will let the steam machine guards attack the suspicious travelers from other worlds.
Alien monsters, on the other hand, can expand wantonly in the dark.
Or parasitize people who have the permission to use steam mechanical guards, control the mechanical guards, and deal with players.
Or they might take the opportunity to stir up trouble and accuse the player of being an enemy spy or something.
Although the player has extraordinary powers that can destroy ships,
But the ultimate goal is to protect as many ordinary people as possible. "
"That's right."
Wang Congshan nodded, "As soon as we teleported in, the alien monsters began to secretly expand.
Two is born from one, four is born from two, eight is born from four.
If left alone, all the people on the ship would be replaced by parasites in about five hours——
If the alien monster does not choose to hide after gaining a numerical advantage, but directly exposes it,
With advantages in numbers and strength,
In the case of violent parasitism, the time may be even shorter. "
"Well..."
Li Ang thought for a while, "So what did you do?"
"Zi Liu,"
Wang Congshan took a sip of milk tea and said casually: "Time waits for no one.
We dispersed throughout the cruise ship to look for alien monsters.
Mule noticed that at the cruise ship dance, some people frequently came into contact with others.
Following the clues, I caught an alien monster that was parasitizing a certain scumbag nobleman.
In full view of the public, he was dissected to confirm the existence of alien creatures.
Then we declared ourselves experts in dealing with alien creatures and took over command of the ship,
Let the captain use the ship's announcement to gather everyone on the ship into the dance hall and spread out.
Let Liu Wuluo's Crystal Familiar lead the crew and steam machinery guards on the ship to find those passengers who did not hear the announcement and were sleeping in their respective cabins.
After everyone is standing, we start the identification work. "
"Identification?"
Li Ang asked casually: "Isn't it difficult to distinguish that kind of alien monster?
When there are so many people, it’s impossible to screen them all, right? "
"Yeah, that's right."
Wang Congshan nodded and said: "Alien monsters have certain intelligence and telepathy.
In a hidden state, they like to parasitize through physical contact.
And if discovered by humans, they will try their best to hide themselves and stop their parasitic activities.
In this state, only by directly killing the parasite can the alien monster inside the body be exposed. "
"oh?"
Li Ang smacked his lips, "Even the skills and props on players cannot be directly screened out...
Then you just used a method other than killing the host? "
"right."
Wang Congshan nodded and said: "This is mainly due to Miss Liu.
She discovered that ordinary people parasitized by alien monsters did not actually lose their free will.
Instead, like a patient with locked-in syndrome, he is trapped in his own body, loses control of his body, and can only watch helplessly as the alien monster controls his body.
In most cases, the parasite is powerless to do anything about it.
Even if alien creatures use his body and in front of him to parasitize and infect his parents, lover, and children, the same is true.
Except for one case,
NTR. "
"Uh, what?"
Li Ang was startled.
"You heard it right, it's the Minotaur, NTR."
Mentioning this point, Wang Congshan's expression was slightly embarrassed, "Ahem, we found through observation,
Although the alien creatures have various unnatural qualities, they are unexpectedly simple and innocent.
The essence of life is to reproduce, carry on the family line, and pass on genetic information as much as possible.
This is true for humans, and so is the alien creature.
They parasitize humans, cats, dogs, and rats in order to reproduce and spread.
In order to better achieve this, they have telepathy and a certain amount of wisdom,
It will make the parasitized person look better eloquent, have a better temperament, and be more approachable.
This allows the parasitized person to have the opportunity to have close contact with other people.
After our player jumps onto the table,
All alien monsters choose to lie dormant and try not to be exposed.
But the biological characteristics of alien monsters, which actively and passively control the parasites to gain reproductive advantages, can still be exploited by us. "
Wang Congshan paused and said awkwardly: "We divided all the passengers and asked them to stand separately without touching each other.
Then find all the couples, lovers, lovers,
Have them test kissing with someone else - one that involves no physical contact.
in this case,
If one person in a couple is parasitized, the original owner who cannot control his body will definitely feel extremely resentful deep in his heart.
This kind of resentment will confuse the alien monsters - their purpose is to reproduce and spread, and the behavior of being NTRed in front of others clearly violates the purpose of reproduction and proliferation.
Therefore, when the parasitized person sees his lover trying to kiss a stranger, he will involuntarily rush forward and try to beat the mandarin duck to stop this shameful ntr behavior.
And we players can rush up, release skills, and subdue him. "
"There is still such an operation."
Li Ang clicked his tongue in surprise.
"Ahem,"
Wang Congshan's face was slightly red, and she was embarrassed to say that she had come up with such an unscrupulous method. "Because the ship was a luxury cruise ship that sailed across the ocean,
There were many couples on board, or passengers with their lovers or mistresses.
In this way, we quickly eliminated almost 4/7 passengers.
As for the rest of us, we held a wedding for a thousand people. "
"ha?"
"Just entrust the priest to perform emergency marriage ceremonies for the remaining people."
Wang Congshan said: "The concept of human society in that script world is quite simple, and marriage has a sacred nature.
When seeing a legal wife/husband,
Hooking up with strangers, having sex with each other,
It will still make people unhappy and angry, thus activating the passive weakness of the alien monster.
In this way, we quickly checked all passengers,
All alien monsters were found and isolated.
In order to maximize the task score,
Miss Mule also invented a way to directly remove the alien monster and save the life of the parasitized person.
So in the end, less than twenty people died in the entire mission.
As well as dozens of steam mechas - some alien monsters with the command authority of steam mechas. Seeing that they were about to be exposed, they broke their tanks and blew their whistles in an attempt to resist.
As a result, he was defeated by players and other ordinary people who owned steam mechas.
In the final analysis, the three of us had an S+ task rating.
I also got the third black land card. "
Wang Congshan snapped her fingers and summoned a land card as black as ink from the void.
"It's really...a victory for the tauren."
Li Ang sighed and gave Wang Congshan a thumbs up.
Wang Congshan is making faster and faster progress in thinking broadly and flexibly and acting informally.
"so far so good."
Wang Congshan casually canceled the land sign and sipped the milk tea with a smile.
"Ah, the phone is almost out of battery."
Chai Chai breathed a long sigh of relief, took off his headphones, and looked up from the phone screen, "Lend me your power bank.
By the way, what were you two talking about just now? "
"Nothing, just a script assignment."
Li Ang took out a power bank from the sodium ring and handed it over.
Chai Chai plugged in the power bank for his phone and played the sound from the phone.
"Could it be that what our young people now expect is that housing prices are very low, and they can find jobs anywhere without any pressure in life? No way, right?"
"In comparison, young people in the United States buy their own homes at a very early age. Try it in other countries and see how old you are before you can pay off the mortgage."
"I don't want to be a prickly person, mocking other people's successes, laughing at other people's failures, looking down on people who are better off than him, and looking down on people who are not as good as him..."
A rather strange voice came from Chai Chai’s cell phone.
Li Ang looked over and saw two American junior high school students who looked young on the phone screen, "What are these?"
"American documentaries about their city buildings."
Chai Chai explained: "They are also going to build city buildings over there. I heard that the environment is not as good as ours, and the housing pressure is much greater than before."
"Oh, this."
Li Ang thought about it, the city building project in the United States was actually not later than the incident.
In fact, it was Prometheus Laboratories that took the lead in inventing new high-strength building materials. However, due to various obstacles, it has not been able to be promoted in big cities such as New York and Washington.
Some time ago, due to the establishment of city buildings in Yinshi, Tokyo and other international metropolises,
Coupled with the pressure of civilized war brought by the star gate,
Major cities in the United States have also begun to advance city building plans, forming extraordinary construction teams and working overtime to build buildings.
However, their construction projects are somewhat different from urban buildings in other places.
It is jointly contracted by multiple private companies.
The best and safest villa areas are only available to the rich and powerful who can afford the high fees.
And remote, relatively unsafe civilian areas are provided to the middle class who don’t have that much money.
Due to the national public welfare nature of the city building itself, some people can live in it, but they have to draw a lottery.
