The Little Prince in the Ossuary

00002 The Little Prince of the Charnel House

# Journal, page 21, Camp Roberts

The last rescue helicopter sent by the government was a week ago when food was running out. There were many places for relief and not enough aircraft. The supply through the vehicle was put on hold due to too high a risk and potential loss. We still have contact, but it was clear the U.S. government was losing control of the California area. The sanitary equipment that was out of stock ran out early. The words of people's minds became even more filthy.

The season was coming late in the fall. Camp Roberts was not ready for the moon. I needed heating measures, and I didn't have enough food or supplies.

Refugees in the camp have volunteered to go out and get what they need. The base commander called in a group of refugee representatives to gather their thoughts. Since the living death that wandered outside the fence did not obstruct people, there was a trend in the opinion that it was fair to support men and women. Anyone who's not too young or too old has to work hard to survive. It is not fair, of course, the greatest motivator of those who insist. You just want to minimize the possibility of death coming back to you, but the commander allows you to. For this reason, minors and seniors were also eligible to apply. The fence between the child and the elderly has disappeared by agreement of the people who were guarding the civilization.

SFPD, who joined the camp, was in charge of human resources management. The distribution table was given preference to mission volunteers, so if there was a shortage of food, those who remained still were more likely to starve to death. Nevertheless, there were many who refused to go out and squatted in the corner and chose to starve to death. It seems like it is better to die in a safe place than to be eaten alive out there. There's a chance the food shortages won't get that bad. The U.S. military did not invite them to participate. It was because it was dangerous for the United States military to join them if they did not follow their control during the operation.

Player's Choice: Accepts the Supply Mission.

I was different. If I run out of nutrition, I may die for other reasons, not food shortages. Before that, I wanted to struggle.

I went to the Recruitment Hall and one of the officers in my office dragged me back out. Lieutenant Robert Capston. He belongs to a moderate group of American officers. He said I was the only middle manager he had. I asked him if he was excluded because he was a minor. He also asked me to reconsider because I'll get you a rationing chart so you won't starve to death.

AI Tip (Insight grade 4): Up-regulate the stability of the community if you accept the proposal. May obtain the favors of warm-drying American officers. Increase player influence in the community. Up-regulate your leadership. Upgrading a player's will, glamour, and leadership when declining.

Player's Choice: I still volunteer for the Supply Mission.

Thanks to him, I still refused to leave. I don't want to be helpless. I want to help people. Lieutenant Capston's expression was vague, but he didn't hold me back. He just patted me on the shoulder, asking me to come back alive.

There are always good people. It's fortunate to have a lieutenant in this time of year.

# Supplies, Camp Roberts

This was the setting. The situation before the game started was offered through video and journals, depending on the nationality and gender set, age, occupation, characteristics, and starting point settings. The exact same content was not repeated even if restarted under the same conditions.

So far, there was a reason to look at the journal after many deaths and restarts. Except in exceptional cases, journals available in monologue format contained a lot of information about the player's situation. The virtual personality of the journal is more sophisticated by knowing the players' tendencies over and over again.

It was not boring for a boy to watch the journal. The monologue is narrated and experienced as a virtual reality. Instead of deciding what words and actions a player should say, they only feel the results unilaterally. It's a metaphor for the ultimate development of 4D movies.

The boy looked around.

Under the dawn sky, there was a yellow discolored white tent and a line of gruesome military tents. The size of the camp was close to the city. People did not look at each other. Following a hologram instruction visible only to the player, you find a dull, low tone nearby. I didn't know English when I played this game for the first time. Now I only need to hear the sound. It was the sound of stabbing a man with a blade. A middle-aged man grabs his stomach, and a woman drops her knife and looks around and finds the boy. Hmph. For a few moments, you run away from the dying man, keeping an eye on the boy. The boy looked at the scene with frowned eyes. I just watched it. This game is not the first time. I know she's been through the event several times as she's dying, but she's only the tip of the tissue. If I followed my hunch, I would have to deal with the entire organization's actions.

People make different noises depending on where they stab. The boy knew it as an experience. It was an inevitable experience.Even enemies outside that fence and infectious mutants are human. The stabbing sensation was not very different from that of humans. Above all, in this virtual reality worldview Day after apocalypse, humans with malicious tendencies were a greater threat than infectious strains. Despite his tendency to be kind, he commits murder if he is caught in an emergency. After all, it is a world view that cannot proceed without killing people.

"We have received 77 viewer messages with augmented reality holograms. Check the logarithm." In fact, this is a reminder that has been blinking for a long time. He was reluctant, but the boy opened the message log. A translucent window separated by system logs, generic message logs, and viewer message logs came to mind. Viewer messages are only active in broadcast public games. As you adjust the tab, a variety of colorful strings will expand into the field of view.

Deohan public 52152; : Why don't you chase after her?

"SALHAE: Chase and kill! You are SALHAE, therefore exist! All a woman needs is a lower body! Killing and committing are the ways of men! Who's the real guy? You're a real man! How fucking real? You are a real man with 12 out of 10 points! Worry only about women! Don't hesitate! Do it!"

FYI: Look at the age of the fucking broadcaster and say, "Crazy bird 45204; blah blah blah"

"Cashmere: Is there no age limit for virtual reality?

"BanqiumHome: I don't want to chew the beans. Cashmere pretends to know. Do you want to come?"

Encouragement: A misnomer, that's a sudden person… anti-aging certification… Grandpa, stop your cock?

"Beast Master: Phew, Thousands of Pups"

When I woke up, my face was burning as a boy who had never been on the public broadcast. You quickly close the log window, then open the window again after several hesitations and carefully insert the message. The Teletype module in Virtual Reality instantly sentences your thoughts and automatically translates if there are any language differences. Therefore, thoughts and inputs were concurrent.

Winter: I will not be disciplined as previously announced And please write something nice.

Then I quickly closed the window. I saw an explosive increase in the number of messages arriving, but I didn't want to know.

But why is it so hard to say no and so unpleasant? The boy felt a chill. The stone in my heart that I had forgotten for a while was rolling. It hurts a lot when I bump into it. I try to ignore it and rush it.

There were a number of mission indicators to follow. Choice changes a lot in the future. However, he did not hesitate because it had been decided. There was a procession of vehicles waiting at the destination. He was quite different from the American military he had seen in his lifetime. It was the early days of the 21st century. Humanity's extinction due to biological disasters is unlikely to be realistic if technology is used as the backdrop for the mid-century booming Earth.

Operation AI, which actively responds to the user's subconscious, has indicated the name of the vehicle. Four-wheel drive vehicles (humvees) carrying machine guns and back and forth in the procession were lined up in the middle with trucks that were unusual in shape because they were military. There were two military tanks (M978A2), painted in disguise, waiting in the middle to be oiled as well.

The area around the vehicle was strictly controlled. I was worried that the refugees might try to take the vehicle. The boy waited in an orderly line. Volunteers were searched and paid one duffel bag for their body armor, body armor, and body armor. The weapon is handed out once it arrives at the destination, and the supervisor in charge of the body search repeats it like a machine.

When the order came back, the black boss who was waddling gum didn't like it very much.

“Tiny! Does this guy have backup? ”

“It's not compulsory. ”

The sergeant stands beside me. The boss was unfamiliar, but face-to-face with the sergeant. He glances at you and says,

“Lt. RoboCop seems to like him. He volunteered to help people. ”

“How can you believe that? ”

“You have no organization. She speaks straightforward English, and more recently, she seems to speak a few words in Japanese or Chinese. This could be useful for controlling volunteers. ”

Robocap was the nickname of Robert Capston. The reason was that if I read the first and last name separately, the pronunciation was similar.

Transporting Japanese and Chinese is a skill that a boy has acquired by investing experience points. It's more like a system calibration machine than I've ever known. Language has been a very important survival technique in the post-apocalypse, where sociality is important.

The boss asks.

“How old are you? ”

Again, the help of Operation AI, an interface that automatically responds to subconscious and situation, was printed as a hologram. Demonstrates situational dialogue, keywords, and hints, depending on the high and low level of the player's intellectual abilities (intelligence), insights, and leadership skills such as detection and deception.

Now it just shows the age of the setting. There was also the option of telling a lie, but the boy replied honestly.

“Seventeen.”

“Seventeen? Damn, not twelve? Orientals don't know their age from the outside.” That grumbling boss sent his hand to search the body. Tubtub. Private confirming that the straw was untouchable, he gave the boy the same protective clothing, protective clothing and duffel bag as the men before him. There is no evidence that the epidemic is airborne, but there is no evidence that it will not. His supervisor warned him not to take off his mask during the mission unless specifically instructed.

After passing through, enter the hypothesis barracks under control. The American soldiers sat the volunteers in order. Near whether the placenta is classified according to nationality is from Korea. All the chattering was in Korean. Some of them greeted the boy. I was reluctant but thankful. There's nothing good to ignore.

Waiting for the seat to fill, Lieutenant Robert Capston on the platform sends a call to the soldier. The projector shoots a light on the white screen. What appeared was a map. The lieutenant looks down and calls a few refugees forward for an interpreter.

“Please translate for me what I say from now on. ”

The boy and others nodded, and he clapped his fingers against the microphone, gathering attention, and began briefing based on the unfolded map.

“What you see here is a map of San Miguel County, where we're headed. And as you can see, it's not that big a village. It used to have a population of 3,300, but now there won't be anyone left. The primary goal is the only gas station in the village. ”

The gas station he pointed to was directly at a crossroads leading down from Route 101 to the village.

“The line will stop here. It's going to fill up the tank and wait for you. You're going to divide into two groups to get supplies. The first goal is a church two blocks south of the gas station. It was used as a temporary shelter when the evacuation order was dispatched, so there is a good chance of supplies remaining. The second destination is a little further north, but there are restaurants and mills in the center of 14th Street. It's the most reliable place to expect food, so it's worth the risk. ”

Speaking of which, he looks back at the people.

“As you've all heard, it's more dangerous to go to the mill. You've volunteered bravely for this mission, but I want to ask you again. Raise your hands if you want to go to the mill. ”

After translating this phrase, the boy immediately raised his hand. So I told people myself and looked like I was raising my hand. Lieutenants and others take advantage of the boy. Likes were also noted several times with an up-correction log, which was more favorable to the U.S. military. It was because there was one immutable correction mixed in.

Increases Corporal Elliot's liking. Improve Unknown Affection Appetite. Unknown affection rising unchanged.

Relationships are variable. Being close once doesn't mean you've been close for a thousand years. The likelihood could therefore be reduced over time or by hostile events. However, the constant correction is different. This does not decrease no matter what.

Numbers are unknown because insights are lacking.

‘Not long. ’

I did not expect much.

“Is there any more? ”

Lieutenant Capston asked about the briefing, but everyone only noticed each other. Although he found it courageous, in fact, most of the people here were trying to buy themselves a ration ticket. The lieutenant looks shivering. On the one hand, however, some determination was also demonstrated.

There are two main reasons for using refugees in supplies: First, given the unusual atmosphere of the camp, it was difficult to extract large numbers from the U.S. military. Secondly, I didn't want to put the U.S. military ahead of the dangerous ones. It was difficult to expect refugees to think that way to be more active.

“I have a question. ”

The boy raises his hand and the lieutenant nods.

“There is a limit to how much an individual can carry in a bag. Is there a reason we can't take the truck to the mill? ”

It was a knowledgeable question. Since it was a question that was going to come out, it was better to ask it directly to speed up the progress. Lieutenant Capston nods once more and instructs the soldier handling the projector. Get me satellite imagery.

“That's a good question. But I was going to tell you, so please pay attention. This is a satellite image of Miguel County before the introduction. Do you see cars stopping at each intersection? vehicles that disregarded the signal when the directive was issued and caused a tailspin accident. There are vehicles from other parts of the world. You will be given a radio. If you can get rid of these vehicles somehow, you can give them a radio. The transport truck will move to that location. But if the act of removing the obstacles seems to attract the attention of the infected species, it would be safer to keep food on an individual basis. We'll be the judge of that, so you just have to follow the controls. ”

After that, a few minor questions came up. The most useless question was which Chinese people, how many distribution charts would appear to those who participated. Lieutenant Capston expressions faint, but answers as sincerely as ever.

“We'll give you the base three days, but please keep in mind that compensation may vary based on your individual attitude and performance. ”

The above was reflected in the quest information. Rewards may vary based on the assessments of the American Armed Forces accompanied. It was actually a blurry part. If any of the soldiers or officers' attributes were racist, it was likely that they would not be properly evaluated. This is usually how the virtual reality worldview prioritizes reality.

“If you don't have any more questions, please follow the leader's instructions for each pair to participate in the workshop. This is a dangerous mission, so make sure you are familiar with the map enough to avoid any confusion on the ground to avoid accidents. Well, dismissed. ”

After Lieutenant Capston got off the ground, more than a deputy corporal stepped forward and controlled the volunteers. Road training is literally a mapping exercise, and it is a process of knowing the area and discussing how to move. For players, this practice is also an opportunity to learn about the Minimap. Skills "Reading Method" or highly intelligent characters will get a complete minimap, but on the contrary, they will get a minimap with poor, error-free space.

Only the boy volunteered to go to the mill, so the rest was drawn. The elected people were building a statue of death without exception.

It was an important process to ensure safety, but it did not take long. It's because San Miguel County is so small. It was part of the introduction (tutorial) on difficulty level. If it is difficult, it is difficult.

# Intermission, Tips on setting up people
