Chapter 229 Berggren God of War

Before dawn the next day.

Marco, who had been guarding the shelled hut all night, finally heard a knock on the door from downstairs.

Marco immediately ran downstairs to open the door, and as expected, Li You was standing outside the door.

Li You got straight to the point: "I have found a suitable shelter. Get ready and follow me."

Marco was obviously stunned: "Where?"

Li You: "Near the church. It's a long story, let's talk as we walk."

Marco didn't do any ink, so he carried the things he found here on his back, then took the cans handed over by Li You, ate them quickly but in small bites, and followed Li You out the door.

Along the way, Li You explained the situation to Marco.

Not long ago, Li You and Aiji took Livia and the three of them to St. Mary's Church at night and met Father Orek.

Father Orek is a kind man. Even during the war, he persisted in his faith and helped refugees. He sticks to the church, but at the same time he makes deals with people and provides aid.

It's a pity that in this war period and the city is full of smoke, it is not a good thing to be known far and near for your good deeds. Coupled with the lack of armed strength of the church, bandits often rob it here.

For example, in the game, the church map has another refresh method. It may be robbed and occupied by bandits after being bombed. In that context, the priest himself would also be missing.

So in fact, Li You doesn't think the church is a suitable place to stay, but even if he wants to help Livia and the others, he really doesn't have the right conditions now, and he hasn't found a suitable shelter yet.

Therefore, Li You decided to send them to the church.

When he went to the church to investigate the situation first, he had already met and communicated with the priest. The priest said that although they were also in difficulty, he was still willing to help these poor girls.

So Li You returned to the flower shop, and together with Aggie, sent Livia and the others to the church.

The good news is that Livia is now just over three months pregnant and can still move normally, so she can also walk around the streets.

However, because it had started to rain in the sky and the road was a little slippery, everyone gave her the only raincoat they found in the flower shop, and Aggie carefully supported her to avoid any accidents.

After taking some time, they arrived at the church.

However, when Father Orek saw Livia, his expression couldn't help but change.

Li You noticed the change in his expression, so while letting Aggie take Livia and others to rest, he pulled the priest to the corner and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Father Orek smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed. As you can see, although my place is a church, the soldiers don't care about it and will bomb it from time to time."

"The church is already extremely short of manpower, the supplies are barely enough, and it is often attacked by bandits. Under such circumstances, I don't think it is a good idea to put a pregnant woman here."

Li You thought for a moment: "Maybe it would be better to send her to the hospital?"

But he immediately shook his head and said: "No, it still doesn't work."

If churches are unsafe, then hospitals are almost as unsafe. Compared with churches that are visited by gangsters, hospitals are the key targets of government forces.

In the background story, Berggren City Hospital suffered several shellings and a fire. It can be said that it was devastated and scarred. But there are still some doctors and nurses here who persist in treating patients and perform their duties of saving lives and helping the wounded in the war-torn city.

If the player character is injured to a certain extent, or is seriously ill, you can go to the hospital, and the doctors and nurses here will give you free treatment - in the context of this game, they can be said to be real rescuers By.

But even this was of no use. Do you still remember what was written on the flyer Li You picked up?

In the eyes of the government troops besieging the city, the city hospital, which is still in operation, is obviously a gathering place for the rebels.

How did you say that? Everyone lying in the hospital is...

In the game, the hospital being shelled is a fixed event that will occur a few days after the player first visits the hospital, causing the hospital to collapse again and causing serious losses.

But at least it can still function, and there are no major casualties.

Li You: The game production team is still conservative.

On the other hand, judging from the map, the hospital is not close to this church, and it is also a challenge to send Livia safely there.

In short, in his opinion, it is better for Livia to stay here for now.

Li You told the priest his thoughts, and the priest also thought it made sense.

But then, Li You was about to ask the priest if there was a suitable shelter nearby, but suddenly an idea flashed and he suggested:

"How about this? My companion and I are currently homeless and want to find a house that can shelter us. Is there a suitable place nearby?"

"If there is, we can stay there to avoid the war, and we can also take Livia over there, just in case, and we can still take care of each other."

Father Orek was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "This is indeed a good idea. As for nearby... there is a small building that is suitable as a shelter."

"Less than two kilometers northwest of the church, there is the ruins of a villa. It is spacious and structurally complete. It also has a basement and can withstand shelling. It meets your requirements."

Li You was a little surprised: "With such good conditions, hasn't that house been occupied by someone else?"

The priest shook his head: "Of course that's impossible. That's the problem. That small building originally belonged to a wealthy family, but was later occupied by a few deserters. They did not allow any strangers to approach."

"But recently, there hasn't been much movement in that small building. I don't know if those people are still there. Maybe you can go and take a look. If they have left, that would be just right.

"If that doesn't work, let's clean up the building behind the church and let you use it."

Li You understood now that the priest was talking about the picture of the ruins of the villa in the game.

As for deserters and so on, that means if you go, you will probably have to clear out a few enemies.

He took out his calibrated gold pocket watch and looked at the time. He realized that it might be too late to clean another house now. He had to go back to find Marco.

So he said to the priest: "Anyway, let them rest in the church during the day, and I will go to the house you mentioned in the evening to take a look."

The priest also nodded: "It would be best if you are lucky enough to live in it. The target there is much smaller than here. You can hide temporarily. This young mother is safer with you than here."

"If you need anything then, you can come to me at any time."

Li You also expressed his approval, then gave Ai Ji a few words and went back to find Marco.

After listening to his story on the way to the church, Marco finally understood how much Li You had gone through that night.

"You're really... impressive."

After listening to what Li You did that night, Marco was deeply moved.

"You did well, you did well!"

"These scumbags, they don't even spare pregnant women, they deserve retribution! You saved them and did the right thing."

Li You's reaction to Marco was not surprising. In the game, Marco is a standard good guy.

In this game, different actions have different effects. Negative behaviors such as stealing and killing will have a great psychological impact on good-natured characters, causing them to enter a negative mental state.

Once there are too many negative states and last for too long, even if you don't die of depression or run away from home during the game, you will end up with a bad ending.

Correspondingly, rescuing people and doing good deeds will also have a positive emotional impact, satisfy the character, and provide some positive bonuses.

Of course, the specific impact on mood depends on what you are doing.

For example, if you kill a sniper at a construction site, the whole family will get a positive mood; and in some maps, if you save people by trading food, bandages, and medicine, the more selfish characters will also be dissatisfied and think that they should not be busy taking care of themselves. Play the good guy in the situation.

Among the game characters, the God of War Roman, who is firmly ranked in the first echelon in combat effectiveness, is a selfish character who is good at playing devil's advocate, drinking at night and beating people, and even drinking and beating people and being injured by the cook.

I don’t know how the cook Bruno beat the God of War Roman into a state of serious injury with his bare hands...

In short, after listening to what Li You did, Marco was greatly encouraged and his mood improved: "I believe that as long as good people support each other, they will be able to survive the war!"

Li You and Marco arrived at the church before dawn while chatting with each other.

Ai Ji was guarding the door with a gun in hand. When he saw them appearing, he said hello: "Looks like we've caught up."

"The priest said he wants to see you."

Li You nodded and pushed the door open. Father Orek was praying to the statue under the stained glass window of the church.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned around, smiled and said, "You are back. Is this your companion?"

Marco simply said hello: "My name is Marco. I used to be a firefighter."

The priest said: "Come on, you are tired after a busy night. I will introduce this place to you and take you down to rest."

The priest led the way and took the two of them to the bottom of the church.

"Before you come, I have a few patients and rescuers. They are all resting below. Please don't scare them."

In the game, there are four civilians in the basement below the church, all of whom were rescued by the priest. There is also a guard in the small building behind the church, who is the only fighting force in the church.

Then all he had on his body was a knife, a pistol, and a single digit number of bullets.

With this little defensive strength, it is not surprising that a few gangsters took over the church in the possible timeline.

But in this world, there are only two refugees under the church, a man and a woman. The man is named Patrick and the woman is named Zoya. It seems that they were companions in the past.

The three Livias have now joined them, all resting on the second floor of the basement. They are all very tired, both physically and mentally.

Apart from them, there was only the unsmiling male guard here, but his arm was wrapped in a bandage. I heard from the priest that he was injured during the last bandit attack and has not yet recovered.

Li You became even more tense. Wasn't there no one left who could fight?

The priest seemed to see through what he was thinking. He sighed and said, "There is no other way. I also hope to strengthen the church's defense, but there are not enough manpower."

"Besides, if there are too many people here, it will attract the attention of the army. In that case..."

Marco also felt deeply: "Yes, those crazy people in the military will bomb wherever there are many people. The shelter I stayed in used to have about ten people, but it ended up being bombarded because of too many activities... I He escaped alone, and I don’t know what happened to the others.”

The priest shook his head: "The Lord will bless the kind people and punish the evil ones. Come with me, this is your temporary room."

He used the key to open the iron door. Behind it was a cold basement, with an old wooden chair in the middle and a thin sleeping bag on the left and right sides.

"The conditions are very poor. Please forgive me. I talked to other people and the beds here have been given to the wounded and the young mother."

Li You didn't mind: "It's okay, we just need to rest for a while."

After the priest left, Marco put down his backpack, sat down on a sleeping bag, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Even in a place like a church, life is very difficult."

Li You sat down opposite him and said, "I'm afraid there is no place in Berglen where you can spend your time leisurely."

"Get some rest first. You didn't sleep much last night, right?"

Marco didn't deny it: "Then I'll just take a nap for a while...just call me if you need anything."

Li Youyou: "I'll take a break too."

He lay down on the spot, closed his eyes, and seemed to have fallen into a light sleep.

But in fact, Li You was meditating again, looking inwards at his own spiritual space.

Here, the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal is still floating in the center, and the dragon-shaped blood shadow is still trying to pass through the crystal and appear in the outside world.

Li You carefully observed the size and shape of the blood shadow, and couldn't help but frown: "Why has there been no change at all..." Last night, the three Livias who he rescued thanked him profusely and asked how they could repay him. he.

And Li You's request is also very simple.

"If you want to repay me, then bless me sincerely."

Livia and the other three: "?"

Li Youyou: "I don't need any material rewards, I just need you to sincerely pray and bless me."

This is also the knowledge he got from Sakuraryu Miko, and it is a way to resolve resentment. He also experimented on lion apes and built the Gensho Shrine for this purpose.

Although the process he is doing now is too simplified, it should logically be effective.

At that time, Livia and the other two people did sincerely bless him. However, when Li You took a look, he found that Yinglong's resentment had not changed at all.

"...According to the normal routine, shouldn't resentment be resolved by doing good deeds and receiving thanks? And the witch also said that this method is effective?"

Li You was puzzled.

"What went wrong?"

He couldn't think of an answer for the moment, so he could only let it go for the time being. At least now it seems that Sakura Dragon's resentment has not broken through the barrier further, which is enough.

Li You simply lay there for a while, then gently stood up, opened the door and walked out.

What he had to do was very simple. He found the priest and put some of the weapons and equipment he had collected from the bandits in the flower shop in front of him.

From the flower shop, Li You found a rifle, two pistols, two homemade shotguns, and two bulletproof vests.

If this were in a game, it would definitely be called getting rich overnight. But for Li You today, these are just scattered gains.

So he didn't feel any distress at all. He directly placed a pistol, a shotgun, and two boxes of bullets in front of the priest, and said, "Just keep these things here."

The priest was also stunned: "This... you found it from those gangsters, right? I can't take it. You have to go out tonight, so you might as well take it for self-defense."

Li You smiled and patted the big gun on his back, and said: "Don't worry, these are just part of the harvest. I kept some, which is enough. Compared with me, the church's guards must be in place, otherwise there are so many of us. Aren’t people’s work just in vain?”

The priest hesitated for a moment, but accepted: "Okay, just think of it for the poor people in the church. May the merciful Lord bless you, a kind person."

Seeing that the priest had put away his weapon, Li You then came to the door of the church, where Ai Ji was still guarding.

Seeing Li You coming over, she said, "This city... is really miserable."

When Aiji was summoned, he was busy helping Li You act as a human radar and didn't have time to care about anything else. But after that, she followed Li You to send people to the church. She relied on her extraordinary perception and saw a lot of things along the way, and was suddenly shocked by the tragedy of the city.

Li You sighed and said: "'In modern warfare, you can only die meaninglessly like a domestic animal.'"

Aggie: "...huh?"

Li You explained: "It was written by a famous writer in my world."

This is a famous quote by the American writer Ernest Hemingway, and it is also a sentence that always appears in front of the players when this game is launched.

Ai Ji agreed: "...It is indeed the case. Even if we are not restricted from exposing extraordinary abilities, we still cannot face the modern army."

"In the face of modern terrorist weapons, everyone is truly equal."

Li Youyou: "The mission this time is to survive as long as possible without being exposed until the end of the war."

"Tonight I will go to the villa instructed by the priest to sweep it. If the conditions are really good, that will be our stronghold from now on. When I go out, I will trouble you to guard them here."

Aggie made an OK gesture and said, "I will be careful not to be exposed."

The day passed quickly, and when night fell, Li You set off from the church.

Before leaving, he also told Marco and Livia to pack their belongings and prepare to move. Building a shelter also takes time, and he doesn't intend to delay it for another day.

Li You blended into the night and successfully arrived at the ruins of the villa.

There are also two versions of this map in the game. The first type is the original owner's family, a man and a woman living here, and they don't have any decent weapons.

As for the second type, it is the deserter version. Depending on the game version, there will be two configurations of three or four enemies.

It can be seen from the map documents that they broke in, captured the male owner of the villa, locked him in the basement, and even demanded ransom from his family.

But even so, when we came to this map, the unlucky male owner who was imprisoned was already dead underground, and the deserters still didn't care and planned to defraud his family for ransom.

Therefore, killing them is considered as eliminating harm for the people.

The topography of the ruins of the villa is not complicated, with a total of three floors and a basement. A corner of the third floor was destroyed by artillery fire, but the rest is still strong, showing the excellent structural strength of the house.

When Li You walked over from the street, he immediately saw a heavily armed deserter, holding a military rifle with camouflage stripes, standing guard on the small balcony on the second floor.

Li You squatted motionless in the grass on the side of the road. The deserter's eyes swept over him several times, but found nothing.

After a while, maybe it was time to change the shift, or maybe he couldn't stand the cold wind at night. The deserter yawned and turned around and entered the house.

Li You immediately took the opportunity to get closer and sneaked in from the small balcony on the second floor.

The deserter who entered the house had already gone upstairs, and no one was seen changing shifts. This was obviously a favorable situation for Li You. He originally planned to follow the old rules and assassinate slowly from top to bottom, but he didn't expect that he heard a quarrel coming from downstairs just after taking a few steps.

Among the noise, Li You heard a familiar name, which made him stop.

"...Roman, you've almost had enough!"

A deep voice roared, followed by a tearing sound, and something was thrown heavily to the ground.

Another voice sounded: "The new guy just doesn't understand the rules. What did you say just now that we went too far?"

"Where do you think this is, heaven? Who are we? We are deserters!

"Now, whether it is the government army or the Vichyni army, if they catch us, they will be executed! Do you understand!?

"So in order to survive, we must do whatever it takes! If you dare to get in the way next time, I will tie you up and send you to the outpost!"

There was silence downstairs for a short while, and then the previous voice said: "Okay, Bartol, don't talk nonsense to him. It's already shift change time, Roman, you should go stand guard."

After a rustling sound, a young man with long black hair, a thin face and sharp features walked out of the living room on the first floor, covering his face.

He staggered up the stairs and reached the balcony on the second floor, staring at the desolate street not far away.

Li You hid in the shadows on the second floor and watched him quietly.

After a moment, Roman suddenly hit the railing hard!

"Boom-"

"Bastard——!" He cursed in a low voice, "Everyone is dead, and even his family members are not spared. What is the difference between these beasts and the butchers in the army?"

He looked at his watch: "...I'd better find a chance to take their gun and run away. I can't stay here."

Roman took out a small plastic bag from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a small half piece of dried meat.

He glanced with some pain: "...the last bit of dry food. These bastards said that if I didn't work, I wouldn't have anything to eat. Then why on earth did I hide here!"

Complaining in a low voice, Roman carefully pulled off a piece of meat, put it into his mouth and chewed it, then took the remaining dried meat and smelled it in front of him.

After a long while, when the bit of minced meat in his mouth had been chewed until it was no longer fine, Roman reluctantly swallowed it and wrapped the dried meat.

At this moment, a hand grabbed his throat from behind, and a sharp blade was pressed against his back.

Roman froze and the dried meat in his hand fell to the ground.

He swallowed and whispered: "...who are you?"

Li You asked in a deep voice: "How is the owner of this villa doing?"

Roman was silent for a moment and chose to tell the truth: "...is already dead."

Li You asked again: "Did you do it?"

Roman didn't answer immediately this time, but secretly tried to move his body, trying to get rid of the control.

However, as soon as he moved, Li You's hand suddenly strengthened, making him feel breathless. The sharp blade behind him went further, breaking through his coat and pressing it against his back.

Roman didn't dare to move anymore and could only answer honestly: "It wasn't me! He was starved to death by several other people!"

"What about you? Didn't you participate?"

Roman complained: "I really didn't. I just joined them because they and I are both deserters, so they accepted me."

"But I found out later that they kidnapped the owner here and held him for ransom. As a result, when they went to collect the money a few days ago, they had a conflict with his family members and beat the old man to death, but they themselves were also killed. Got one.

"They rested outside for two days because of this incident. It was also at this time that I met them and was roped in by them."

Li You understood. Combining what he just overheard and the priest's information, Roman probably didn't lie to him.

So Li You released his grip on his throat and said, "I heard you just said that you also want to leave here, right?"

Roman was also surprised when he heard it. It turned out that he had heard it a long time ago. He was secretly glad that he did not lie, and then replied: "Yes, I really can't get along with them."

Li Youyou: "In that case, there is no need to run."

"You are a soldier, help me cover, and we will kill them."

Roman was shocked: "You are crazy! There are three of them! And they are fully armed!"

Li You almost stopped laughing after hearing this.

No, you are a ruthless person in the game who can clear the entire map with your bare hands. How did you become so cowardly here?

But in fact, he also knows that although Roman is the only two T1 combatants in the game, they have no particularly outstanding advantages compared to other characters. Being able to massacre a city with bare hands relies on the mechanics of the game and the operation of the boss.

If he were allowed to do such a thing in this world, he would probably be beaten into a sieve at the gate of the military camp. So it's normal for him to be afraid.

However, there was no room for him to back down now. Li You took out his gun and said, "You have no choice. Either join me in the fight, or I will deal with you first and then kill them all."

"Think about it carefully, you don't want to die here, right? You can't stand what those guys are doing, right? If so, then show some blood!"

Roman was speechless now. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Okay! Give me a gun and I'll go with you!"

Li You smiled: "Very good."

Then, Roman felt his palms get cold, and something was put into his hands.

He was overjoyed at first, but after groping for it carefully, his face became full of astonishment:

"……fruit knife???"

Li You:?

What's the matter, you mighty God of War Roman, a fruit knife isn't enough for you?

Shouldn't this be a random killing?
