Chapter 57 Counterattack (2)
Shen Yi's words were like a bomb, which made everyone dizzy.
King Kong stared at Shen Yi in surprise, and shook his head again and again: "This is simply crazy!"
Not only King Kong, but even Hong Lang, Wen Wen and others showed horror in their eyes.
The world of Terminator 2018 should essentially be a world with difficulty level two or higher. For this reason, Bloody City uses the mission mode of Jedi survival to adjust the difficulty, and adventurers do not need to head-to-head with the Terminator. For most adventurers, eliminating the chasing force is already the limit of performance. As for counterattacking the Skynet headquarters, they don't even think about it.
Theoretically speaking, the guard force of the Skynet headquarters will definitely not be less than the sum of the four rounds of chasing troops. Going to that kind of place is tantamount to a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
But at this moment, Shen Yi just proposed this idea, and said it so confidently, so perfectly justified.
But to him, it didn't seem out of the ordinary.
When he was a rookie, he passed the novice mission with 100% standard difficulty. Along the way, there was never a mission that challenged the limit. For him, the joy of living in this world lies not in survival, but in challenges.
Of course, he didn't blindly challenge the advanced difficulty. Since he decided to go to the Skynet headquarters, he naturally had his own ideas.
Seeing everyone looking at him in disbelief at this moment, Shen Yi laughed softly.
"There's no need to be so nervous." He said, "Actually, Skynet may not be as difficult to deal with as you imagine."
Looking at everyone, Shen Yi said: "First of all, everyone has to understand one thing: the trouble we have caused is the most powerful team in the ordinary area, and after we complete this mission, we will enter the ordinary area. That is to say, in the next mission, we are likely to face the blood-stinging team. If before that, we didn't even have the courage to challenge the difficulty of a mission in the normal area, then to deal with such a team... we can only lose. So , we have to change our perspective and stop seeing ourselves as adventurers in the ghetto. I mean, from now on, the world we experience must be treated as a normal difficulty. So if it is For adventurers from the normal area to come to this mission world, I guess the main mission issued by the city may be to destroy at least one Skynet base. If we can’t complete it, then we won’t even be qualified to be the opponent of the Blood Spurs.”
Since you want to fight against the strong in the ordinary area, you must have corresponding strength. Before fighting Xie Rongjun and the others, it is undoubtedly the best way to use the mission world to test their quality.
"Secondly, if we can complete this task on the current basis, the rewards we get will be greatly increased. Assuming we are adventurers in the ordinary area now, we can be sure that the same task is completed, and the rewards will be greatly reduced. So I'm sure , If we complete this mission, it will be a leap forward in our strength. This will help us in our future confrontation with the Bloodstaining team."
"Third: The essence of adventure is courage. Without the courage to overcome difficulties, no matter how good the reinforcement is, you will not become a real strong. Our team can lack everything, but courage!"
"Fourth, and the most important point: Counterattacking Skynet was originally a hidden mission entrusted to us by the city. All we have to do is to carry out the orders of the city..."
What? Everyone was taken aback and looked at Shen Yi together.
Shen Yi smiled lightly and said, "Actually, I've been wondering about one thing. Before the second round of hunting, we received a hidden mission. The biggest difference between that hidden mission and the previous ones is that we can't limit our actions to protect the target."
The hidden task of protecting Marcus and Kyle has always given Shen Yi a strange feeling in his heart.
He always felt that this task was not easy, but he couldn't tell why.
The first problem is that the task is too easy, without the slightest hidden meaning,
Even with a little forced taste. Shen Yi doubts that Xi Xiaofan's press to accept is actually a ghost of the city. That selection authority is only one of the criteria used to examine them.
The second problem is that this is the first time he has encountered a task where the protected target cannot be enforced. It is reasonable that this will cause them a lot of trouble when performing tasks, but in fact the trouble is not so much.
The third problem is that the city has not given any standards for rewards. Prior to this, Shen Yi had only experienced one task without a reward standard, which was the task of protecting Little Jerry. The reason why the mission cannot be given a standard is because even if the mission is completed, the backup conditions must be met before Shen Yi can get the reward.
In other words, this mission reward may only be obtained after other special conditions are met.
So what kind of backup conditions should be completed? Obviously you can't expect Metropolis to repeat the same routine as last time.
Shen Yi thought for a long time, until he remembered the conclusion he got when he received about the soldiers of the airborne battalion during the World War II mission: plot missions can be continuously developed.
Could it be that this mission is also the same?
The real meaning of the requirement that the protected target cannot be forcibly restricted is... to guide the direction of the plot?
In the original plot, John Connor was furious when he discovered Marcus's machine identity, thinking that he was a spy sent by Skynet, and captured him. In order to understand why he became a machine, Marcus resolutely decided to return to Skynet headquarters to find the answer.
In other words, if the plot goes in the original direction, then as long as Marcus discovers his identity, he will definitely go to Skynet headquarters. And since the adventurers cannot forcibly control Marcus, the consequence can only be...
So Shen Yi understood.
I'm afraid this is the next step in the plot of the hidden mission.
In other words, as long as the time comes, everything will become a matter of course. At that time, it doesn't matter whether the adventurers want to go to the Skynet headquarters or not, because they have no choice.
The only way not to take this step is to keep Marcus from getting hurt and discovering his identity. This is why the city ordered to protect Marcus in the first place - without their protection, Marcus would not die.
From this perspective, it can be understood that Kyle Reese is the initial protection object of this hidden mission, and Marcus is the object of the hidden mission's further development. The two complement each other and form a special hidden mission that can continue to go deep.
If Marcus is not injured, the hidden mission will not develop downwards, and once injured, a new second-step mission may open at any time...
Everyone looked at Marcus together.
—————————————
Marcus was still in shock at his own body at this point.
It was hard for him to accept what happened to him for a while.
Shen Yi strode over to him and sat down, lit a cigarette, and said leisurely: "It seems that you haven't learned to accept your new identity yet."
"You know all this?" Marcus glared at him.
These people were not surprised by the changes in their bodies, and they were obviously mentally prepared.
"It's not about what I know, it's about whether you can accept reality. Let's be honest, everyone here has had a more bizarre experience than you have now. There are many people who can't accept reality in the first place, and the result is that they die .There are too many weird things in the world beyond our cognition, you can't understand, let alone control, the only thing you can do is to integrate, experience and... adapt. Tell me Marcus, how long will it take for you to accept Your new body and new identity?"
"I want to know what made me like this!"
"What else could it be?" Shen Yi asked back.
Marcus was slightly taken aback, and he murmured, "Skynet..."
He looked at Shen Yi: "Why? Why did Skynet turn me into a monster? I should have died long ago."
"There are too many people who should have died long ago, and have even died, including you and me. But we are not dead, and our existence here has the meaning of our existence. Some history is changed because of us, and some futures are created because of us .Marcus, don't be too concerned about who you are, as long as you think you are human, then you are human."
"Oh? Really?" Marcus laughed. He pointed to the metal skin exposed on his face and the steel braces on his chest: "There are people like this?"
Shen Yi shrugged: "Why not? Just like people need artificial limbs, artificial eyes, and even artificial organs. Technology enables human beings to develop, allowing us to turn some objects that do not belong to us into parts that support our lives. The biggest feature of life is tenacity, tenacious enough to have enough tolerance. You underestimate your life too much, Marcus, seeing you think that someone put a few steel bars in your body, are you not a human being? ? I don't care what others think of you, I never treat you as a machine. Do you still treat yourself as a machine? If that's the case..."
Shen Yi stuffed the spirit gun into Marcus's hand: "You still have a human heart. Touch your chest and shoot there, and you will bid farewell to your human identity."
"But……"
"No, but, Marcus! What you are is up to you!" Shen Yi's voice became a little anxious.
Marcus looked at the gun in his hand, after a long while, he finally shook his head and returned the gun to Shen Yi. If he had doubts about Shen Yi and the others' identities before, and maintained a certain degree of vigilance, then now Marcus will no longer doubt Shen Yi and the others.
Everyone has their own troubles and helplessness, and Marcus has clearly realized this.
Compared with the "inhuman" nature of Shen Yi and the others, Marcus's "inhuman" nature seems to be bigger.
Since the other party can accept the inhuman self, why can't I accept the other party?
He looked at Shen Yi: "I need more answers."
Shen Yi spread his hands: "I'm sorry that I can't give you a more specific answer, you have to find it yourself, but we can help you."
Life is like rape, if you can't resist, enjoy it.
It can be said that Shen Yi has thoroughly implemented this sentence to the extreme. Since the in-depth development of the plot mission cannot be prevented, then simply push it and enjoy the execution process of the mission. Anyway, in terms of Shen Yi's temperament, the fun of developing tasks like this and completing them is like discovering hidden levels one after another in the game, which is something he never tires of.
At this moment Marcus looked at Shen Yi, and he finally nodded.
The bloody coat of arms came a cold voice that only adventurers could hear: "Hidden mission: Kyle Liss' request is completed. The next stage of the mission is open: take Marcus into the large Skynet base and destroy at least one Skynet base." System command center. You have the right to refuse to perform the second phase of the task, but you will not be able to get the rewards after completing the first phase of the hidden task, and at the same time, all your gains in this task world will be halved. If you accept this phase of the task, It will be defaulted that you have passed all the main missions, the fourth round of hunting will be cancelled, and all blood points will be rewarded. Mission completion: you will be eligible for a special reward, and the special reward will be judged based on performance. Mission failure: 6,000 blood points will be deducted.”
