War Paradise

When Lin Chi and Frankenstein returned to the blood eagle tribe, the sky was already completely dark.

There seemed to be simple heating equipment in the cave, but the extreme cold near minus 70 degrees still penetrated into the skin through the protective clothing, making Lin Chi feel like he had fallen into the ice cellar, and clasped his arms tightly.

"This place is really cold," he whispered.

Before the motorcycle lost power, Lin Chi drove the super-high-climbing steel chariot safely into the cave, and then put down the camouflage net at the entrance of the cave, covering the cave that was already hidden.

On Martian nights when the temperature is extremely low, no one should be wandering around. In this way, the blood eagle tribe's territory has become a temporary safe house, and there is no need to worry about the enemy's attack for the time being.

It's just that the temperature here... is really too anti-human.

"Burn the fuel," said Frankenstein, standing in front of the oil drum in the corner of the cave.

"Don't be funny, we will suffocate to death if burned here." Lin Chi shook his head.

"I forgot that humans need to breathe." Frankenstein gave up his original plan, sat on the stone slab in the corner of the cave, and said tremblingly: "It's cold."

The temperature in the cave is now completely beyond the control of the player's protection system, and even the player's virtual body will be obviously affected.

——So, how did the people of the Blood Eagle tribe survive?

Looking at the corpses piled up in the cave, Lin Chi couldn't help sinking into thought. Then he noticed that the two spacesuits that he and Frankenstein had taken off before were also placed in front of the wardrobe of the Blood Eagle tribe.

"It's better to change the spacesuit." Lin Chi immediately made a judgment: "At least it won't freeze to death."

At this temperature, as long as they take off their protective clothing, they will freeze to death immediately. The two can only put on space suits while wearing protective clothing, completely covering their bodies into bloated dumplings.

Although it is not very beautiful, the most important thing now is to survive in this ghost place. No one pays attention to appearance issues on Mars. Survival is the only purpose of people.

Although the two of them were about to be frozen, the pig rats in the cage were still very happy. It seemed that these strange animals were more adapted to the Martian environment than humans, and they were still arching around in their cages, with an active appearance.

The heavy spacesuit cut off the air-conditioning while also isolating outside sounds. Lin Chi and Frankenstein turned on the radio, sat on the stone slab in the corner of the cave, and chatted without a word:

"Will Lin Chi be like human beings?" Frankenstein asked.

"What do you mean?" Lin Chi frowned and looked at each other's face through a double-layer mask: "I am a human being."

"Marriage and have children, and reproduce." Frankenstein explained.

"……I go."

Hearing this topic, Lin Chi was speechless for a while, and asked, "Why are you like my relatives? You still urge this every day?"

"No, but humans are social animals." Frankenstein's scarlet eyes stared at Lin Chi without blinking: "According to the information I understand, this is the case."

"That's true, but I think it's okay to live alone." At this point, Lin Chi showed a malicious smile on his face: "Besides, isn't there a ‘good wife’ in my house? How can it be considered living alone?"

"I'm not your wife." Frankenstein said solemnly.

"Ha, I'm just joking." Lin Chi raised his head and looked at the cave roof covered by shadows.

He has always had a sense of reality in the virtual world even more than in the real world. Although not like some enthusiastic players, they almost completely abandoned the real world and indulged in brain imaging games every day. But the time he spends in the virtual world also tends to increase.

In addition to "Blade" and "Paradise of War", Lin Chi is still playing several other games. Earning his own living expenses in the game is also one of the tasks of professional players.

Although playing those games is just a routine. But the degree of immersion in brain imaging games is naturally not comparable to past games.

——As long as you enter the virtual world, you will be affected by that world. As for the degree of influence, it depends on the degree of realism of the game.

Lin Chi, who has always had no interest in the real world, is also very clear that he seems to be getting more and more affected by "War Paradise", but there is nothing wrong with this...

Thinking of this, he casually asked: "What about you? What are you going to do?"

Lin Chi knew that, contrary to himself who wanted to venture in the virtual world, Frankenstein's goal seemed to be to "become a human." He didn't know why this AI had such an idea, but the other party must have his own reasons.

"I want to have a body." Frankenstein's answer did not hesitate, and there was no confusion in his voice.

"Human bodies? That thing is very fragile, so human beings will develop artificial organs." Lin Chi looked at the "person" beside him.

"I know, but I still want it." Frankenstein stretched out his right hand wrapped in two layers of protection and pressed it on his chest. Then say a line that sounds very literary:

"The body is the proof of survival."

"I think consciousness is the proof of life. What is the difference between a walking dead and a robot without self-consciousness?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows.

"We have different ideas." Frankenstein didn't want to argue, but looked down at the nearby corpse: "I'm going to sleep."

Before he finished his words, this AI that doesn't need to sleep at all has fallen on the stone slab and snored. Seeing this guy's appearance, Lin Chi sighed helplessly:

"All said that there is no need to imitate me in this respect..."

As he said, he also fell on the stone slab, and his consciousness fell into the dreamless sleep that is common in imaging games in the brain.

...

Early the next morning, before the oxygen supply equipment in the protective suit stopped working, Lin Chi woke up on time.

A day on Mars is about 40 minutes longer than Earth. But this is not what made Lin wake up sooner or later. It was the radio equipment of the protective suit that awakened him, and he received some **** radio station:

"Hello everyone, bugs, here is God of War radio broadcasting the whole Mars! How many people died from freezing last night? I guess there are many more corpses that will become food for pigs and rats!"

"Damn, is this radio station mandatory?" Lin Chi said angrily.

He tried to tune to other bands, and the host was full of mocking voices, but still very clear, as if he was making a straightforward mockery of Lin Chi's useless behavior:

"The song we bring to you today is "Let-It-Burn" from Avatar! What else can you say? Let the world burn!"

Lin Chi had to admit that although he didn't catch a cold for this anchor, the song chosen by the other party was very appetizing for him. While he was listening to metal music enthusiastically, the Frankenstein next to him also sat up.

It seems that the Martian ruins map is not like other maps, which will scan the full band on the first day. Instead, it gives players some time to adapt and let everyone get familiar with the environment of Mars. then……

"It's about to start today." Lin Chi said to the Frankenstein next to him.

In order to prevent players from finding the enemy, every map in "War Paradise" will have a mechanism for forcibly dragging the player into the battle, and this is certainly no exception.

So, what will be the reason for this war?

Lin Chi was thinking, the music in his ears stopped abruptly, and the voice of the male anchor of the radio station sounded again, with a little excitement in his voice:

"I said, have you heard? The wolf tribe has challenged other tribes!"

--What does it mean? Could it be a signal to fight?

Lin Chi, who noticed something strange, narrowed his eyes and continued to listen to the anchor:

"One of the most powerful tribes on Mars, the Wild Wolf tribe, is now on the highest mountain in the solar system, challenging other tribes! If a tribe can seize the flag, it can gain control of the Wild Wolf tribe!"

"What is the highest mountain in the solar system?" Lin Chi mumbled.

He had just finished speaking, and Frankenstein had already given the answer in a cold voice:

"The Olympus volcano on Mars is the highest volcano in the solar system. It has a base diameter of 600 kilometers and a height of more than 27 kilometers. The average height is 22 kilometers. The crater has a diameter of 80 kilometers and a depth of about 3 kilometers."

"You know a lot..." Lin Chi nodded approvingly.

"Collecting data is my specialty." Frankenstein said seriously. At this time, the anchor has begun to announce the rules of the challenge:

"Although most people know it, the group of people who have just been thrown here may not know it well, so I will explain it again: the so-called'tribal challenge' is the normal way of confrontation between the Martian tribes! "

"Everyone just wants to survive. If there is no deep hatred, other tribes will not be slaughtered. The tribal challenge is the way for each tribe to decide if there is no **** massacre!"

"The tribal challenge is not mandatory. Each tribe can choose whether to participate or not. If it chooses to participate, the tribe needs to send at least one and a maximum of ten warriors to compete in an area!"

"The warriors of the tribe will carry the flag of their tribe. Once the warriors sent are annihilated by other tribes, their flags will fall into the hands of other tribes. The tribes that have got the flag will gain control of the tribe whose flag is captured ! This is the rule of Mars!"

"Clan members who want to participate in this challenge, please rush to the camp at the foot of Olympus Volcano within three days, and get ready. The wolf tribe is provoking all of you, give them some color!"

After introducing the rules, the anchor's voice disappeared, and the "God of War Radio" that could not be turned off suddenly disappeared.

After listening to the other party's rules, Lin Chi immediately understood the so-called "tribal challenge" rules, and smiled: "So it's the capture the flag mode..."

The capture the flag mode is actually a common mode in old-fashioned PVP games, which appeared much earlier than the battle royale mode, but in "War Paradise", this mode seems to rarely appear. But in the map of Mars Ruins, the long-lost capture the flag mode finally showed its true form.

"Yes." Frankenstein agreed.

When they were talking, a task reminder suddenly appeared in the eyes of the two:

Start mission: Clan challenge.

The wolf tribe is launching a challenge at Olympus Volcano, defeat them.

Mission rewards: entourage that can be brought out of the map (each member of the team gets one, even if the winning conditions are not fulfilled, they can be brought out).

...

Seeing the reminder of this mission, Lin Chi immediately realized that the "forced battle" in this map was undoubtedly the challenge of this so-called tribe!

For many players who have never won, the appeal of the entourage must be huge. After all, most of the players have no other subordinates except the three official expansion pack followers.

Although the strength of the three official followers is pretty good, for players who like to pursue different ones, having their own unique followers is definitely more attractive than bringing those "big road goods".

And now, if you can win the challenge from the subordinates, you can ignore the winning conditions and directly get permanent followers. The attractiveness of the rewards of this task, for many players, is probably even greater than the legendary equipment!

Needless to say, there will definitely be a **** wind on the Olympus Volcano...

"Want to participate?" Frankenstein asked coldly.

"Does that still need to be said?" Lin Chi said with a smile: "Of course I want to participate."

The battle to capture the flag on the highest mountain in the solar system is fascinating when you think about it. Naturally, Lin Chi would not miss the opportunity to participate in this kind of battle.

However, when it comes to the entourage, a new problem arises:

"Can't this map bring entourage in?"

——Different from other maps, when they entered this map, they didn't see the follower at all. The "Knife King" team encountered in the cave also did not carry any entourage.

Are the entourages not coming, or are they waiting for their master like in the "Iron Curtain Field" on the same team deathmatch map?

Thinking of this question, Lin Chi suddenly realized something, and asked the Frankenstein around him who was taking off his spacesuit: "I remember you were able to win every round, right?"

"I cheated." Frankenstein's voice was still flat.

"In addition to the'grey fox', what role does your entourage have?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

"I have twenty-five followers." Frankenstein reported a lot of names: "Orland, Leon, Blazer, Hanzo, Alex..."

"I'm going..." Lin Chi widened his eyes in surprise, "Is there so many?"

"I cheated." Frankenstein took off his space suit, revealing the protective suit underneath: "But I won't cheat again this time."

"By the way, did you see the entourage on this map?" Lin Chi continued to ask questions.

"No." Frankenstein shook his head.

——So, is this map unable to carry entourage, or...

"Let's go look for it." Lin Chi said as he put the spacesuit helmet on the stone slab.
