Chapter 126: Icy City
Seeing Luther gobbling up biscuits and walking for an afternoon, should have been hungry. He Ningyan, www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion, had to remind: "The next material collection point may be two days later, and it may never appear again." ”
Luther was stunned for a moment, and looked left and right at everyone, everyone was taking water and biscuits and eating slowly, just like a normal delicacy, he also took the biscuits and ate slowly.
After eating a packet of biscuits, Luther cautiously asked, "Where is this, why am I in this place, and who are you?"
She replied lightly: "You have to find the answer yourself, as long as you live." ”
Looking at Luther, it is like seeing yourself at the beginning, as a newcomer, there are many questions, for yourself and for the environment. At that time, the words of the navigator and senior came out of her mouth again, and everything made her secretly sigh in her heart.
"We don't know what this place is... "Jack gossiped, it's good to have him, and he wasted a lot of lips and tongues.
Thinking of something, he took out the wad of money from his pocket, one hundred, one hundred, and sure enough, it was ten thousand.
Looking at the money, Jack swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "A lot of money, will you give so much money every time?"
"This is the first time I've seen money, and I didn't have money before. Isn't it the first time you've been to the collection point, don't you know?" she thought about it, then pulled out the money and gave Jack, Martin, and Luther two each: "You have this money, in case you get separated from me, you may be able to use it." ”
Then he took out about half of it and gave it to Alpha: "You save these." ”
Alpha didn't answer: "I won't be separated from you, even if I get lost, I can find a way to make money." ”
"There are accidents in everything, you take it first, I run out, you give it to me. She still gave the money to Alpha.
Then the rest of the money, she divided it into three parts. One was tucked into the pocket of the backpack, the other was placed in the inner pocket of the sweatshirt jacket, and one pocket was sewn on the inside of the chest like a suit pocket. There was also one, and the least, of three, which she kept in her pants pocket for easy access at any time. When you're done, move on to eating the cookies. And Alpha also followed her example and put it away properly.
Jack was a little dissatisfied: "Why only give us this, but give so much to Alpha." ”
"Just because he is level 3, he is excellent in every level. She replied bluntly.
Jack doesn't say anything anymore, because Alpha's ability is there, 2 levels are excellent, can compare to Alpha, there is another person here, it's her, 4 levels are excellent! If you continue to talk about it, it will be self-inflicted, Jack was lucky to survive the last level, and his brain was so bad that he was arrested as an experiment.
After eating the biscuit, he stuffed another piece of chewing gum in his mouth. Even if she returned to the rest area, the tooth decay should be repaired, but if it hurt halfway through, where to look?
Before he could sleep, Alpha asked, "He, what kind of place is this?" ”
"Hostel. She replied that Alpha was also in contact for the first time, and maybe it would happen again in the future: "I have this in the first level." ”
"Why do you ask those questions when you come in?" Alpha asked.
"I don't know. She closed her eyes, and there was a little nostalgia in her heart, but she didn't expect that she could also be a navigator, lying on the bed and sleeping: "If a navigator does this, I will do it, as long as I can get through it safely, why not continue like this?"
"I know!" Jack hurriedly said: "I heard someone else say in the rest area, if you don't ask if it's safe or not, maybe this inn will have something at night, and if you ask, answer that it's safe, you don't have to be on duty." If you don't order more quilts, wait a while and think of asking for quilts again, and when you go out to ask for them, you will have to add a fee, a quilt and a pack of biscuits. The large room here is the cheapest, and the single room is a bottle of water or two packs of biscuits, but when there are more than four people, you can save money by booking a large room. ”
They are now five people, and if they book a room, they will ask for five bottles of water, and now they only need three bottles, which is indeed cheap for large suites.
Although Andrei doesn't like to explain anything, everything he does is meaningful and is built up by experience. I hope Alpha can learn this time, and she will not be there in the future.
Alpha thought back: "As long as it's not a desert, it's not a big problem if you don't get points. ”
She was lucky that she didn't encounter any deserts or Gobi deserts. Everywhere you go, there are food sources, and there are experienced navigators. At present, in this team, only Alpha is the most effective assistant, and Jack has a mouth, and he can pee his pants in fear when he encounters something. And Martin, a person who can oversleep even such important things, and if he is late, he doesn't expect anything.
As for the newcomer Luther, he still seems to have a bit of brains, at least surviving today. When the mortality rate is at its highest, it should be at the beginning, as long as you can survive the first day, half of them will be able to break through. Those who did not enter the state in time, had low emotional intelligence, poor psychological tolerance, and bad luck were quickly eliminated.
Look at Luther's figure, it's just ordinary, and I don't know how much ability he has at the moment. But here, ability is important, but more importantly, having a good navigator and emotional intelligence. I only hope that Luther can compare two strong points and help Alpha in the future.
suddenly thought of Andre at that time, Andre was lucky, he had Huang Weiguo's help at that time. And now, she is lucky, because there is Alpha... Suddenly I understood one thing, if Luther walked, he had to cultivate Luther, and this level depends on Luther's performance.
Spit out the gum and stick it to the wall next to it. Seeing that the eyes of the other teammates were straight, they didn't dare to say anything, and when they saw that there were no trash cans or anything like that, they spit out in the wrapping paper and threw it on the table. Seeing this, she smiled secretly, everything here may be fake, and when she wakes up and leaves, she may not know what will become of it.
is to comfort herself, but also to encourage everyone, she said: "There are not many people this time, as long as you have more eyes, you should be able to pass the test." Go to bed early, there are only ten hours to go, and now it has used half an hour, and you can control the time by yourself. Seeing that there is no clock above, when there is still half an hour left in the day, you must wake everyone up, otherwise you will die. ”
Speaking of which, she thought of something, saw a phone next to the bed, and picked it up. The receptionist's voice came from the phone: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Wakes us up when we check out half an hour before tomorrow. ”
"Okay, the prompt function starts in the morning, and I'll call when it happens. ”
"Thank you!" she put down the microphone, closed her eyes and began to sleep, when she heard her teammates say goodnight to her one by one, and discussed softly. But without Alpha's voice, the most important thing is to have enough energy, Alpha's ability is absolutely good, and he should be able to become a good navigator in the future.
The lights were on, and the lights were bright, but she quickly fell asleep.
"Doot toot, toot toot... The ringing of the phone woke her from her sleep, and she reached out a hand from the quilt and picked up the phone.
The soft voice came from inside: "Hello, according to your request, I called." ”
"Thanks, got it. She hung up the phone, sat up, and shouted: "Get up, get up immediately, get up if you don't want to die!"
The teammates lazily opened their eyes one by one, all of them as if they hadn't woken up. Yesterday I walked for half a day, and anyone would be tired.
"Hurry up and eat breakfast, I don't know when the next meal will be available. She opened her backpack and took out water and compressed biscuits.
After eating, seeing that there were ten minutes left, she began to clean up: "I'm leaving soon, I'll give you two minutes." ”
If you don't take off your clothes to sleep, you don't need to wear clothes, and at most you take off your shoes wear shoes. But these guys really delayed a little time, and it took five minutes, and the only ones who could clean it up in two minutes were her and Alpha. She paid attention to these three guys, and it seemed that Luther, a rookie who had passed the first level, was better than a rookie at level 1 and 2.
"It's so slow, I know you're going to grind. Let's go!" she grabbed the card she had placed on the table and walked out, her teammates following her.
When she got to the door, she threw the card in her hand directly on the counter and walked out. The dummy-like clerk said the same thing as last time, "Welcome to patronage, please come back next time." ”
Outside the door, the street outside is already lit up, with pedestrians walking on the sidewalk and vehicles coming and going on the road, a cityscape.
Two or three minutes later, the shop with its black paint and crescent moon motifs slowly vanished. Just like the collection point, it disappeared without a trace, leaving only a wall.
Although she could leave, she still stayed, just to let others see the situation, and know that this place is the same as the collection point, and if she doesn't come out within the specified time, she will bear the consequences.
At the end of the night, we must begin to face new difficulties. But what's next?
He Ningyan stood in place, looking around carefully, and he didn't find the problem for the time being... There was a newsstand on the side of the road, and she walked over and pulled out a bill: "A newspaper." ”
The newspapers here are all in English, but it doesn't matter, there will be people among your teammates who understand English. A newspaper can get the most important events of the past few days as quickly and efficiently as possible, and immediately understand the local situation.
The newspaper seller looked: "No change?"
She looked sideways, "No, another map." "The map shows you the layout of the streets and the surrounding roads, so you can quickly know where to run if you need to run for your life.
What Alpha saw: "Add another travel guide." "Travel guides can know the local places of interest, food, housing and transportation, it seems that Alpha needless to say, it will.
The newspaper seller took the money and went to the back of the stall to take out a tin box, which was full of change. Count the change and hand it to her.
She slipped the change straight into her pocket, newspapers, maps, guidebooks, and her teammates were already looking.
Selling newspapers and looking at her: "You are traveling from another city?"
Looking at the way he sells newspapers, there is no smile from the beginning, his face is tense, and there is something indescribable in his eyes... She always felt that something was wrong, so she also made a straight face and replied coldly: "This is our job, counting the number of hotels." ”
The newspaper seller stared at her, and she stared at the newspaper seller, and after a few seconds, the newspaper seller made a nasal voice: "Hmm." ”
She turned around, and at this time Jack turned around, looking at her with a little excitement: "Hey, he, there is actually ... But she was so frightened by her sharp gaze that she retracted the following words.
The voice of the newspaper seller behind him came: "Your companion seems to have a problem. ”
It seems to understand the problem a little, in this city, everyone is expressionless, walking, shopping, even with children, the children's faces are the same. In a city full of sunshine, no matter how indifferent the people in this city are, it is impossible not to have a smile at all, without a single expression. One by one, just like the "people" in the previous game scene, walking silently, unhurriedly. It's just that the people here are not made by computers, and they don't walk in a unified direction, coming and going.
"Do you want to call the police to investigate?" said the newspaper seller, making her more and more sure that something was wrong here.
"No!" she replied coldly, "I'll do it, tonight." ”
"Hmm. The newspaper seller made another nasal sound.
After she finished speaking, she didn't look back, and walked forward slowly, unhurriedly, two seconds and three steps. Her teammates followed her.
As she walked, the corners of her eyes swept away, and when there was no one else within seven steps around, she scolded in a low voice: "If you want to die, just giggle, otherwise shut up." ”
It's true that something is wrong with the whole city, and when everyone walks from the opposite side, it's as if they're still sleepwalking, without a trace of expression on their faces. It's like the whole street, and all the walking corpses are emotionless. I've seen scenes like this in big cities in Europe and the United States before, all of them are lively and lively, and police cars are honking everywhere. Sometimes there are homeless people... Yes, the bum, and here, there is not a single bum. The higher-level city appearance survey is not so clean.
Here, except for the sound of tires rubbing against the ground when the car is moving, not a single car honks. The horn is not pressed, even if there is a traffic jam, not a single car honks the horn.
As she walked on, she whispered to Elfa who was walking beside her, "Where is the cheaper hotel recently?"
Alpha replied softly: "Two streets past, there should be a youth hostel. ”
A youth hostel is a very cheap hotel for young people who travel all over the world. She replied, "Go there and have a look." ”
Turn and immediately change the style of painting. This is true of any city, where the buildings on the street are shiny, but a turn, in the alleys, small and crowded.
Under the guidance of Alpha, after finally turning a few corners, I found the inn located in the basement.
They were greeted by an obese middle-aged man, who sat on a chair, and the table and chair seemed very crowded: "No one paid five dollars a day, no bed, no quilt, just lay on the floor, and take out the ID card." ”
