Fifty-Two, Go to Sea
On the endless light gray ocean, a medium-sized cruise ship is slowly breaking through the waves.
This is a double-decker cruise ship with a length of nearly 20 meters. On the silver-gray hull, there are three striking black characters of "Grey Wing" and a series of red English words.
But the most eye-catching thing is the three-barreled near-anti-aircraft gun with a caliber of 40mm under the control room of the ship, and the two six-barreled electromagnetic machine guns distributed at the bow and stern.
The Gray Wing is an armed cruiser!
On the synthetic material deck covered with a layer of thermal insulation material, Feng Luo sat on a sun lounger, skillfully disassembled the Sand Eagle with both hands, and used oilcloth to do the necessary daily maintenance.
Going out to sea on a cruise ship should have been a very pleasant thing.
Blue sky, white clouds, sea...fishing, basking in the sun, eating coconuts...
When the surrounding scenery is the endless sea and sky, and at the same time there is nothing to do except play in the sea, it is easy for people to forget the troubles in their hearts and become comfortable.
However, gray waters are an exception.
Because the sea water here has been polluted, the entire sea area has a slightly chaotic light gray from a distance.
Gray is probably the color that is most likely to cause negative feelings.
Moreover, the sea is not a suitable place for snipers to fight. Although the view on the sea is infinitely wide, the waves and wind will have a huge impact on the ship.
Feng Luo had tried it a few times after boarding the boat. When shooting seabirds in the sky with a sniper rifle, the muzzle that was originally aimed at would often be shifted due to the sudden shaking of the ship, and the bullets fired were even worse when they were hundreds of meters away. will deviate greatly.
He wanted to solve the problem of inaccurate bullets, but there was no good solution for the time being.
Fortunately, according to the Red Queen, the group of them sailed on the ship for only about a day and a half, and the real mission location was a military base on an island.
That's right, it was the military base in the area indicated by the mission map that Master Roland had given him. This coincidence even made Feng Luo wonder for a while whether the Red Queen and the others had planned to come here? Don't try.
But thinking that I found them on my own initiative, it seems that this matter can only be described as a coincidence!
"Our destination is Silver Leaf Island in the south-central area of the Gray Sea, and enter the military base numbered S-53!"
The red queen was standing in front of a table on Feng Luo's left, using the device to project a three-dimensional virtual island image on the table, and aimed at a total of six players around the table, including Feng Luo.
"This is a secret military base before the great destruction of the game's historical background. At present, no one should have opened up wasteland, so there must be a lot of danger inside, and you need to be careful when entering."
Then the projection screen changed, replaced by a middle-aged Caucasian NPC wearing a white scientific research coat and a short-haired girl also wearing a white scientific research coat and black-rimmed glasses.
"However, our mission does not require the entire military base to be opened up, but only needs to protect these two NPCs and obtain one thing in a certain core research room." The Red Queen said.
"This middle-aged white man is a genetics and virology expert named Ike, and this seventeen-year-old short-haired woman is his assistant, Lin."
"Lin, a seventeen-year-old scientific assistant, a genius girl among NPCs... Tongyan ****... Well, this figure really can't tell that she is only seventeen years old!"
A short player with a dark complexion who looked a bit like Ah San, his eyes were rolling around the 34D chest and buttocks of the short-haired girl NPC who was drawn out by the uniform, and he was tongue-in-cheek.
This guy's ID is "Big Pineapple", and he is a heavy armored warrior player with a level of 47.
The task team organized by the Red Queen has a total of seven people, except for Black Panther and Bing Liuli,
There is also a level 46 light armor warrior with the ID "Neutron Star" and a level 44 female doctor named "White Crescent".
A fire master, a water master, a heavy armored warrior, a light armored warrior, two snipers and a doctor.
This seven-member team happened to take two branches from each of the three major professions, including defense and assault, range and long-range damage, and paired with a healing profession, it was very suitable for small-scale team battles.
The only regret is that there is no machine gunner, and it is impossible to suppress firepower when needed.
The main reason is that the machine gunner profession consumes too much ammunition, and ammunition will take up a lot of backpack load.
The anti-gravity space backpack used by the player has a weight and total space limit. If the weight exceeds the upper limit, it will be faithfully pressed on the character, which will seriously affect the movement speed and increase physical exertion.
Therefore, teams of less than ten people generally do not deploy machine gunners, so as not to become a drag instead.
Except for Feng Luo and the doctor, the seven players were all above level 45, and the red queen had reached level 48, which was the highest level player Feng Luo had encountered so far.
However, there are more than seven players on this ship.
There are fifteen NPCs on the entire ship, all of which are above level 40.
They belonged to the crew of this armed cruise ship, and they also possessed certain combat effectiveness. Even the captain in his forties was a level 43 elite model with a high AI level. It is said that he was a corporal of the Federal Guard when he was young.
That's right, these crew members were the NPC mercenaries that Feng Luo had considered before, and the rich and powerful Red Queen directly hired fifteen of them.
"Mr. Big Pineapple, your most important task is to protect the personal safety of the two NPCs after you go to the island. After completing the task, the 200,000 credit points promised to you will be credited to your account every penny. .”
The red queen turned her head and said to the player who was commenting on the NPC girl, her face was a little cold.
"OK, promise to complete the task!"
Big Pineapple readily agreed, turned his bright eyes, and glanced at the chest of the female doctor named White Crescent Moon, but she gave her a hard stare.
It was only then that Feng Luo realized that, like him, this heavy armored warrior named Big Pineapple was not a member of this team before, but a player who took money for things.
200,000 credits, the price is even higher than his "Extreme Shooting" chip.
Of course, his level is a full 47, which must be more valuable than his own level 40.
However, including his own rare chip and the entrustment fee of this heavy armored warrior, the price is already higher than the price of a piece of rare equipment. In addition to the money for hiring NPCs and cruise ships, I don't know what the reward for their mission is, is it worth such a large investment?
"That's all for the introduction of the two target NPCs. Anyway, most of the time they shut themselves up in the cabin room for experiments, so it is not difficult to protect them when they are at sea, except in emergencies."
The sudden situation that the Red Queen mentioned refers to the monsters in the sea.
Although they were on a cruise ship, it didn't mean they could completely avoid the monster's attack. They had encountered several waves of monsters along the way after going out to sea, but they didn't have too much trouble.
So after the Red Queen said this, she turned off the projection equipment.
"That's it, everyone is going about their own activities now. Around noon tomorrow, we will be able to reach the target island."
"OK!"
Big Pineapple stretched out his hand and made a clear gesture.
"I'll go in and have a look at the employer."
The Red Queen got up and went into the cabin.
"How about we have a gambling fight?"
Everyone dispersed, and Feng Luo was about to hang up and switch to the forum to watch a movie, when a voice rang above his head.
The panther, who had changed into a brown camouflage uniform, was standing beside him. His body at 1.8 meters blocked most of the sunlight, and he was looking at him with aggressive eyes.
