Book 2 Chapter 19: Friendliness Rate Increase
In two days, the Germans had launched three waves of attacks to seize the bridge back. As Shen Yi expected, the latter waves were more powerful and ferocious than the forr.
The 2nd Paratroopers Battalion, with the help of the adventurers, fought two days and two nights in a row to withstand these three powerful waves of attacks. But, in the three attacks, the 2nd Paratroopers Battalion failed to complete a war of annihilation and were just barely able to withstand the attack.
In the fourth wave, an adventurer was killed as another adventurer lost a leg. This was the first ti since the team won the bridge, that the adventurers had casualties. This ant that the fighting was becoming more and more difficult to fight over ti.
The fifth wave of the German offensive was launched on the sixth day at four oclock in the afternoon.
About seven hundred Germans, plus 22 tanks, and 71 artilleries crazily bombarded them, almost flattening the town where the 2nd Paratroopers Battalion camped. The fighting continued until the seventh day in the morning. The German soldiers finally retreated, but the town was ruined.
A wounded soldier was lying on the battlefield and wailing. The soldiers who still had stamina moved around, looking for ammunition in the ruins, looking for the enemys soldiers to shoot, looking for wounded comrades to save
The inhabitants of the town looked at their dilapidated ho, the arrival of the British paratroopers was no longer as agitated as it had been before.
They walked in the ruins unconsciously, like wandering souls.
Sitting on an abandoned tank, Shen Yi looked at the desolate scene everywhere, like a motionless stone.
Wen Rou sat down on his side and said, Look at the way it is now, people really cannot help but wonder how this world was ford, in the end, what makes it all so real. I used to think they are nothing but tools which the Bloody City used to test us, having no real thoughts and feelings. But now, look, they are sad, they despair, they are happy, they are in pain, they are angry, they hate, they laugh, and they go crazy. Can we say that they are just NPCs?
For this argunt, Shen Yi obviously spent a mont thinking, he shook his head, I dont think so much, I only know that the damn city put us into this evil place, to let us experience war and bloody pain, to taste the taste of death and despair. Its purpose isnt to let us experience life philosophy in the battle or to find the aning of life. So, in the end, if they are real or dummies, for , this not important. The real important thing is that we can get out alive from this place.
Wen Rou smiled, I say that, but I can not help but think, why does Bloody City exist? In the end, who created it? Its existence has what kind of aning?
Why must it be aningful? Shen Yi asked, What in the world really needs to have an answer? If so, what is the aning of the existence of people in the world? If we do not know what the aning is, we cannot live anymore?
Wen Rou hesitated, Dont you think we should have an answer about the origin of the Bloody City?
I dont think so. Shen Yi replied, Just like the stars, the moon, and the sun, they exist. Existences just exist, there is no need to have a aning at all. aning is only a word invented by humans, the word itself does not have any aning. I have little interest in what the Bloody City is, as when I lived on the Earth, I didnt think about why I was human. Why people have to learn, why people go to work, and why there are those disgusting things that I hate. Maybe the Bloody City itself is a world, all the quests and rewards are just a part of this world, but its also a mode of operation like people have to eat and drink.
Then why did we appear here?
Perhaps because Earth can create life, and this world can only rely on looting.
Wen Rou softly laughed, I have never heard such a novel point of view. Then, why are only humans being plundered?
Maybe not only humans. Shen Yi replied.
Wen Rou was stunned, You an
If this is a world, then perhaps there are more than one Bloody City. Shen Yi replied, As on Earth theres more than one country, more than one race, more than one nation Well, I said that theres no need to explore why it is there. Here, our only significance is to survive, fight, and to beco strong.
Wen Rou stared at Shen Yi, and after a long ti, she only said, It seems you already adapted to the new environnt.
Survival of the fittest, the universal law of any world. Shen Yi replied.
For the Bloody City, this was Shen Yis view.
When many people thought that the Bloody City was a gods creation, Shen Yi felt it may not necessarily be Gods creation, perhaps this was how the world itself was ford. Just as the essence of matter was a movent, the essence of this world was the cycle of life and death. As for this view, in the end, if it was right or not, that wasnt important. The important thing was that, instead of exploring the aning of its existence with exhaustive force, one should quickly adapt to this world. The forr was a scientist on Earth who was pursuing the mysteries of the universe. He might be clever, perhaps knowledgeable, but never able to find all the unknown answers. While the latter was a king of the Earth, he perhaps knew nothing about the composition of this world, but in his lifeti, he could rule the world. For Shen Yi, he chose to beco the latter.
This was also the choice of most people.
Shen Yi, co to to have a look. Frosts shout interrupted Wen Rou and Shen Yis conversation.
Shen Yi held his gun and ca over, What is it?
Our ammunition is running out. Frost ca up and gave Shen Yi very bad news. He then turned around and spoke to his soldiers, shouting, Do pretty my brothers! We have repulsed another German attack, I know you already fought very hard, but please patient with it, the Allies will co soon!
How long can you last? Shen Yi whispered.
Maybe two days, maybe one day, depending on the intensity of the fighting. Yesterday and today alone, in one day, we consud two-thirds of the ammunition. If we continue to go on like this, our heavy machine guns will be used like a sniper rifle. Frost walked in the ruins, his face was wearing a smile of victory, which gave the soldiers confidence.
How many tanks left?
There is a tank left and three artilleries with more than 30 shells, the situation has been no longer worse.
My situation is not very good too, my people are no longer unafraid of the bullets as the beginning. With the endless fighting, the consumption of our power is great. This ti is by no ans of pretending.
Yes, I see, so of you are dead. Frost sighed, the Special Warriors, in the end, were not omnipotent and could not have been invulnerable for eternity, This is the reason I ca to you. He stopped, standing under a trees shadow. Taking advantage that there was no one in the surroundings, he said, We are not only faced with the problem of insufficient ammunition, but there arent enough people too. Almost two hundred brothers died. The 2nd Paratroopers Battalion is actually slowly ceasing to exist. Under my command now are only three hundred battle-ready people. The rest are lacking in arms or legs, or have no ammunition. In fact, I am not even sure that we can repel another enemy attack. The worst is that I just got news that the Allied main forces t the Germans tenacious blocking. In a short period of ti, they cannot get to Arnhem.
Shen Yi exhaled a long breath.
Everything was as expected, the fighting was becoming more and more difficult.
A soldier ca over, Commander Frost, I just seized a knife, look how beautiful it is.
Thats a good thing! Frost called back. When we co back, show it to your mom, shell love it.
The soldier was glad to leave.
Turning his head, Frost said to Shen Yi, Im telling you these things because I hope that you understand the situation we are facing. Shen Yi, honestly, I think you dont like professional soldiers. Of course, this is logical, all of you are n with superpowers. Perhaps the United Kingdom governnt spent a big price to ask you to co over. Perhaps General Miles see you as his trump card. But now it seems that you cannot play a role in changing the situation this ti. I cant let you be sacrificed here in vain.
What do you an
Go back, Frost said, To where you co from. You dont have to stay here and take risks with us.
With this sentence, Bloody Crests voice suddenly exhorted, Plot Changing Quest: Frosts Proposal Now you can choose to give up the Optional Quest. Abandoning Optional Quest will receive no punishnt, but will not gain any rewards, Friendliness Rate becos 0.
Shen Yi was slightly startled, he didnt expect that even the Mission World story could be changed. According to the Bloody City, this was a self-help asure at a critical mont. The next fights would beco harder and harder. This ti, if he chose to retreat, the adventurers lives would be preserved. If he continued to stick to it, the adventurers would face a great danger. The problem was that Shen Yi noted that the other adventurers faces expression had no change. There was no whisper. It indicated that they didnt receive information of this redirection of the plot.
In other words, this decision could only be made by Shen Yi himself.
Why is this? Obviously, such a branch of the plot was not triggered by just anyone. Not having enough Friendliness Rate, would simply not start the branch plot. This should be another role of the Hidden Quest. In tis of crisis, it gave a way to imdiately escape from danger.
But Shen Yi did not intend to give up.
In his view, if he gave up the first official mission so easy, he would safe. But at the sa ti, he would also lose the courage to face danger. Since the Bloody City world was a strong is supremacy world, then he either died or beca strong.
So, he didnt hesitate to refute Frost, I will not leave, Frost. As you said, I really am not a professional soldier. The United Kingdom paid a big price to get help. We are General Miles secret trump card. But we dont just fight for money, our shoulders also bear the pride and glory of the nation. I hope you understand, not only military soldiers have hot blood, and not only military soldiers know how to sacrifice for the country. For the citizens of Great Britain, I know what I am doing. Sacrificing for the country This is not just your pride, this is also our pride!
Frost stared at Shen Yi, it seed that he didnt think Shen Yi would say this.
Finally, he slowly gave a military salute toward Shen Yi, The 2nd Paratroopers Battalion Lieutenant Colonel Frost, on behalf of all the 2nd Paratroopers Battalion soldiers, give you our deepest gratitude and highest respect!
The Bloody Crest prompted: Giving up Frosts Proposal, you get Frosts respect. The Friendliness Rate of the 2nd Paratroopers Battalion has greatly increased. Currently at 450 points. In the next battles, you will get 2.25% of the 2nd Paratroopers Battalion soldiers combat contribution. The difficulty of this quest is at Primary-level, Friendliness Rate maximum value is at 500 points.
This ti, Shen Yis heart had long been prepared.
