Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

As a soldier who had served on the front lines, he knew very well how much pressure the Yunshan River gathering place was under when facing an army of tens of thousands of demons.

And to achieve the current results, how much effort did they have to put in, and...

What a sacrifice.

"Thank you."

Tang Yi nodded gently, his expression also becoming serious: "Everything is for the future of Yunhe Town."

"Everything, for the future of Yunhe Town!"

Li Shan nodded vigorously, his tone filled with strong conviction and even a hint of tragedy.

I have to say that his words are much more touching than what Tang Yi said.

But there is nothing we can do. After all, those players who died in the war are still running around in the gathering place today, and are even doing daily scolding of the planners on the forum (1/1).

It's good enough that he doesn't make things difficult for them. He really can't act out this kind of tragic feeling.

"That's the general information."

Tang Yi took two steps forward, patted Li Shan's shoulder gently, then looked out the window and said:

"It's getting late now. If Sima Li is free, we can go to the restaurant in the gathering place to eat something. After all, the demons on the west side have already..."

"leader."

Li Shan's voice was not loud, but it still made Tang Yi stop talking. At the same time, he looked at Li Shan with some confusion.

"The situation in the northern camp is critical. The demon army is constantly attacking our defenses. The brothers on the front lines are fighting desperately but can only barely hold the front line."

"So we hope that if the leader still has some strength left, he can bring some people to support the northern camp, on the west side... this side..."

Having said that, Li Shan himself was a little unable to continue.

Although he was an expatriate, he still had a clear enough judgment of the battle situation.

Although the demon army on the west side has been wiped out at the Yunshanhe gathering place, the demon army on the east side that has already entered Yunhe Town is also burning, killing and looting everywhere.

In this case, if Tang Yi took his men away from the gathering place, he would have to bear the risk of the gathering place being attacked by the demon army on the east side.

Moreover, the gathering place had just ended a major battle, and the residents might not have recovered from the grief of losing their comrades in battle. How could they possibly immediately join in...

"Snapped!"

Tang Yi walked up to Li Shan without him noticing and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, don't think too much. We will send reinforcements to the northern camp."

Hearing this, Li Shan raised his head immediately, and his eyes seemed to light up.

"but not now."

After saying this, Tang Yi saw the light in Li Shan's eyes dim again, and then continued:

"You are not unfamiliar with the current war situation."

"Currently, the western demon army is still roaming around Yunhe Town. When we were taking in those 10,000 villagers, my people encountered an attack from them on the way."

"And during this period, we were busy fighting the demons on the east side, and we hardly collected any intelligence on the surrounding demons."

"If we send troops at this time, it would be irresponsible to our gathering place and would not benefit the overall war situation."

Chapter 388 A New Atmosphere in the Gathering Place

The next day, early in the morning.

It was just daybreak and the migrant workers from outside the city had just entered the city, and the gathering place was already bustling with people.

Especially in front of the mission hall, players gathered in groups of three or five, shouting words that most refugees could not understand.

"Go! Go! Go!"

"Hey guys! Has anyone seen the bullets I just bought?! I left them on the curb while I was eating my sesame seed bun!!"

"Uh...it seems like it was swept away by a little star as garbage."

"Hey, where are we going today? Camp 3? But I saw on the forum that it would be more cost-effective to take a scouting mission and then head east."

"No, no, no, you don't understand. The east side of Camp 3 is where we're supposed to go. What level are you at now? Do you have any idea?"

"..."

Gradually, Song Lian listened to the sounds coming from downstairs and slowly opened his eyes.

Because the war on the front line was over, the number of people online at the same time in the gathering place once again saw a surge.

Because of this, the sounds of players shouting, talking, and laughing mixed together, finally creating a morning that was noisier than any previous day.

"Um……"

Song Lian stared blankly at the wooden ceiling above his head, and his brain, which had not yet been turned on, also received messages from the players for a while.

Then I read it but didn’t reply.

"It's so noisy..."

Gradually, her mind became clear again and she slowly sat up from the bed.

Then she narrowed her eyes and briefly analyzed the conversations of several nearby players, and finally understood what happened this morning.

The leader has given them a new task.

Oh no, it sounds like it was yesterday afternoon.

Then why didn't she notice so many more people in the gathering place yesterday...

Song Lian sat on the bed, pushed back the quilt, raised his head slightly and recalled briefly.

Oh, now I remember, she was at the military factory outside the gathering place all day yesterday and didn't go home until midnight, when the residents were probably already asleep.

"Um--"

Song Lian shook his head gently to get rid of these distracting thoughts from his mind, then stretched out his hands, stretched them beautifully, and then put them down with force.

"Get up get up!"

She quickly got out of bed, put on her clothes, picked up her cell phone that was charging nearby, and went downstairs to wash up.

She knew that the situation in Yunhe Town was not very good recently, and she also knew that the gathering place was fighting with demons in the demon-occupied area.

But she is just a scientific researcher, and she can't just put down the drawings and instruments and rush into the battlefield with weapons and guns like the ones in "Anal Lifting Assistant" and "I'm Not a Traitor".

She could only silently speed up her research and try to use what she had researched to increase the chances of victory for the soldiers on the front line before the end of the war.

"squeak--"

After picking up No. 5 who was charging, and holding him against his chest, Song Lian put the things he needed to take to the research institute into his backpack, and then pushed open the door to the first floor of the house.

"call……"

The bright sunshine finally hit her face, and the gentle breeze from outside blew into the house.

A few newbies who were passing by her building happily also subconsciously looked at Song Lian after hearing the noise.

blinked.

blinked.

Both sides were stunned.

"Is this an NPC?"

"That should be the case. I don't remember anyone living in these small villas on both sides."

"Hey, she's holding a little star in her arms."

"You cloud player, that's not Xiaoxing. Look at its scarf, there's a 05 on it, that's number five."

"Oh my god, it really is..."

Song Lian and No. 5 just watched these newbies whispering in front of them.

However, after living in the gathering place for so long, they have become accustomed to this situation.

After confirming that these residents had no intention of coming up to them to "accept the task", Song Lian nodded to them, then turned and walked towards the east side of the gathering place.

"Number Five, please first type the plan that has not been verified yesterday on screen Number One." Song Lian said as he walked, looking down at Number Five in his arms.

"Let's see if we can resolve the issue of loading weapons first..."

Yes, because players have recently focused on the demon-occupied area, the work of researching potions and cultivating plants has stopped, resulting in No. 5, who needs to rely on working to earn money, suddenly having no business.

Without business, there is no source of income.

Without a source of income, it can't even afford the energy to sustain its activities.

This forced Number Five to calculate the energy he consumed even when walking around the streets every day, so as to avoid "dying on the spot".

Unfortunately, energy that is not enough to cover expenditure will eventually run out.

While shopping one day, Number Five suddenly felt dizzy and fainted on the street where the party was held.

Fortunately, a kind citizen named "Lazy" passed by and sent it back to the mission hall, otherwise it would have been unconscious on the street for who knows how long.

Now that he has completely run out of energy, No. 5 has to be in standby mode most of the time, which makes the "capitalist" Xiaoxing feel "dissatisfied".

So, under its introduction, Song Lian, who was studying the wreckage of the transport plane, temporarily "adopted" No. 5, and the energy required for No. 5's activities was officially handed over to Song Lian.

Song Lian was still very caring towards his "fellow villager" No. 5.

Because she was worried that it would accidentally shut down in the middle of the night due to insufficient energy, Song Lian specifically asked the people from A Tui's construction team to help her run a gas line to her home.

She even asked Xia Shu to make a new set of clothes for No. 05, with a big '' embroidered on the chest to distinguish it from the other little stars.

After walking for a long time, Song Lian finally passed through the outer city of the gathering place and walked out of the city.

"Mr. Song, you're leaving the city so early today."

[Gugu], who was waiting for his teammates to gather there, saw Song Lian and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Ah."

Song Lian also smiled and waved to Gugu.

Actually, her house was originally quite far from the center of the gathering place, but after a period of development, the newest "property complex" on the east side expanded by several hundred meters, causing her house to become a "noble" inner-city villa.

As the outer city continued to expand and there had been no concerns about demonic invasions for a long time, no city walls were built, which also caused the prices of houses in the inner city to go up.

After some refugees who fled from Shaling Town settled down, their goal became to buy a house in the safe inner city.

Even though Xia Keyu repeatedly posted notices in the outer city and the inner city, saying that there was no distinction between the inner and outer cities in the gathering place.

If there is an invasion by demons, the army of the gathering place will treat everyone equally. They will not only rescue the residents of the inner city and abandon the residents of the outer city, or even use them as cannon fodder.

But the results are still minimal.

In today's world, people's desire for security has reached its highest point. They will try every means to choose a residence that they think is safer, and this is difficult for others to change.

But these are not things Song Lian needs to worry about.

She held Number Five in her arms, greeted some familiar players along the way, and soon returned to the outside of the military factory.

What she didn't expect was that there were four people standing outside the fence of the military factory.

One of them was the [King of Gamblers], and she had a vague impression of him.

But the old man beside him and the other two girls were completely unfamiliar faces.

Chapter 389 New Employee

"Oh, so you two are here to repair the armor."

Song Lian nodded slightly, then picked up the hot water that No. 5 had just brought, and looked up at Jiang Qian and Shen Xi who were sitting opposite her, with a hint of curiosity in her tone.

"Then how did you get this set of armor? Did you buy it?"

"Jiang Jiang pulled it out in one go."

Shen Xi nodded very proudly, as if it was not Jiang Qian but herself who pulled out the assault armor.

"Drawn out?"

Song Lian blinked, obviously not quite sure what that new method was.
