Chapter 656: NPCs in the Gobi

There were really a lot of materials looted by the three thousand weak water and the fat man before, and now they are piled up behind the bushes like a small mountain, not to mention, it looks quite spectacular.

And one of the two must have obsessive-compulsive disorder, because although these materials are piled together, they are very carefully classified, even more neat and uniform than the shelves of a supermarket, giving people a pleasing feeling.

"Big brother, so many things, not just me, I'm afraid that both of us can only take it away if we are overloaded, but in this case, it will definitely affect our mobility, you see what to do, if you need to, let me carry the weight alone, you still travel lightly, after all, if you encounter a dangerous situation in the future, you have to deal with it, but then I will definitely not be able to walk fast, and I have to rest often to recover the fatigue value, you have to wait for me."

Uncle Conch is a more rational person, and he quickly gave his opinion, but he didn't mean to sway Zuo Yang's thoughts, and he also spoke in a suggestive tone.

"No need, both of us are only carrying a part of it, so it's better not to carry more than 50 pounds of weight."

Zuo Yang didn't feel distressed at all, and said bluntly, "Since the map of the Western Regions has these survival attribute value settings, then there must be a place to provide these materials, we try to bring as many as possible just in case of emergency, no matter how much materials are brought, there will always be a time when they run out, the most important thing is to adapt to the gameplay here as soon as possible and find a way to supply materials." ”

"What the eldest brother said makes sense, in fact, I think so too, and I found something before, what do you think this is?"

Saying this, Uncle Conch took out a wooden strip with cotton wrapped around one end from his backpack and handed it to Zuo Yang.

"...... this?"

A smell of grease and saltpeter followed, and Zuo Yang took it into his hand with doubts in his heart - [Torch].

- [Torch: An indispensable item for walking in the Western Regions at night, it can not only increase the vision range at night, but also effectively avoid the sneak attack of wild beasts, but it is not easy to get it. 】

"This thing is a good thing, where did you get it?"

Zuo Yang was also magical, and looked at Uncle Conch with great interest.

It is now past six o'clock in the evening, and the Yanmen Pass has also closed the customs business, and at the same time, half of the sun in the west has already dropped below the horizon, so that the current environment is a little dim, so it does not have a long visual distance as when it first came out of the customs.

From this, it can be judged that when the sun does go down, the player's vision range will definitely continue to decrease when night comes, and the danger will gradually increase.

Even if Zuo Yang's strength is very strong and he is not afraid of the attacks of those beasts, he is definitely not omnipotent when facing some "terrain killing" that cannot be dealt with by manpower...... At this time, the preciousness of [Torch] is reflected, with this thing, you can have a good view even if you are traveling at night, and you can definitely maximize the efficiency of rushing.

However, as far as Zuo Yang knew, this kind of thing was not sold at all from the material merchants in Yanmen Pass, and the City Lord's Mansion did not provide it at all...... So, where did Aunt Conch get it from?

"Hey, hey, hey."

Zuo Yang's affirmation, Uncle Conch was also quite useful, and immediately smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, "This is a drawing I accidentally got when I was exploring the Western Regions some time ago, and this drawing is just what a craftsman like me can use, so according to the guidance of the drawing, I went around here for a long time, and finally found the flint and red pine wood I needed, and then made a few torches." ”

"In this way, it seems that your life occupation is more useful in this map of the Western Regions than imagined."

Zuo Yang nodded and muttered, "Maybe in the back, there are more places where you need to use your life skills, and even I can only be your assistant in order to survive at that time." ”

"Big brother, what you said is a bit serious, with your strength, even if you go all the way in, there will be no problem at all, and there will be no shortage of materials or anything......

Uncle Conch hurriedly said with sincere fear.

"What percentage do you think we should carry these supplies?"

Zuo Yang said again, in this place in the Western Regions, it must be people like Uncle Conch who have died many times with more life experience.

"According to my previous experience, dry food is consumed faster than water, and water, as long as you can find a water source, these water bottles can be reused, so my opinion is that in addition to oil-paper umbrellas and winter clothes, which are more weight-bearing and usually do not need to bring only one piece, the rest of the weight, bring 10 pots of water, use 10 kettles for recycling, and the rest of all dry food is the best, so that even if we don't find a water source for several days, we will not die of thirst."

Uncle Conch also immediately became serious and thought carefully.

"Okay, just do as you say."

Zuo Yang decisively agreed with his opinion.

"But...... What should I do with the rest of the supplies? ”

Uncle Conch looked at the materials on the ground with a distressed face, if the two of them were not overloaded, they wouldn't even be able to carry half of these supplies, which was a pity.

"Put it on the official road, just treat it as our charity, if someone passes by later, it can just be used for use, but it can be regarded as taking it from the people for the people."

Zuo Yang thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and said "generosity".

In fact, according to his character, he really wanted to bring these materials back to Yanmen Pass and sell them before going out of the customs to continue his journey, but Yanmen Pass has regulations that people who leave the customs cannot return to the Central Plains within 5 days.

And Zuo Yang didn't want to squat in this place and wait for 5 days before he hurried, it was too much of a waste of time and energy, so he could only grit his teeth and make such a decision that was completely inconsistent with his character......

……

In the Western Regions, players can also go offline.

After going offline, the survival state will be frozen, and the relevant attributes will not continue to decline, so the player will not die after going offline, but don't think about taking advantage of this set loophole, thinking that if you regret it, you can go offline for a few days outside the pass, and then go online when you can return to the Central Plains.

Because the time of 5 days is calculated according to the online time.

Therefore, once out of the level, players have only two choices, either frantically looking for supplies to survive, or waiting for the supplies to run out of materials to starve to death, die of thirst, die of disease, or freeze to death.

Just got a large amount of resources, Zuo Yang and Uncle Conch have no worries about this for the time being.

However, it is definitely necessary to take a break offline, especially Zuo Yang, this guy doesn't play the game like a game studio member should look like at all, if there are no special circumstances, he will strictly implement the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

Especially at night, he will definitely go offline in advance before 10 o'clock, because in addition to the game, he has more important things to do, such as copying the talisman before going to bed.

Although he had figured out the drawing method of the talisman engraved on the [Ding Lan Ruler] before, if he wanted to attribute the other three talismans to his own use, he still needed a very painstaking process, constantly copying to comprehend, and there must not be any slackness and luck.

As for the issue of going offline, Zuo Yang discussed another method with Uncle Conch.

Because the two of them are not together, their usual work and rest habits are also different, if the online time is inconsistent, it is very likely that they will be separated or one of them accidentally falls into a dangerous situation and dies, of course, the second situation is mainly for Uncle Conch, because to the extent of Zuo Yang, if it is a dangerous situation that even he has no way to survive, then it is estimated that it is useless to add a Conch Uncle.

So after they discussed, they left a phone call for each other, agreed in advance on the time of the next launch, if anyone has any unexpected circumstances in reality that cannot be launched on time, make a phone call to notify the other party in advance, so that the two can be completely consistent with the time of the launch.

It's quite effective.

In the next two days, they cooperated very well, and there were no accidents at all, even if they occasionally encountered some wandering beasts, they were easily cooked by Zuo Yang.

In terms of materials, because they passed through two water sources, they will carry 10 water bottles full of them, and there is no concern about this at all, only dry food, so far they have not found props that can replace dry food, so they have been continuously consuming.

At the moment, they still have a total of 14 packets of dry food left, and if two people consume them together, at the current consumption rate, it should be possible to last for another 2 to 3 days or so.

In the past two days, the geomorphological characteristics of the Western Regions have gradually changed.

The closest to Yanmen Pass, the geomorphological characteristics there are not much different from the pass, although the wind and sand are very large and the temperature is much higher than the Suzhou city where Zuo Yang is located before, but you can still see some trees and jungles, the environment is actually good, and the scenery is also very pleasant.

But now they have completely entered a yellow-gray Gobi, the wind in the Gobi is much stronger, at this time Zuo Yang and Uncle Conch are wearing [masked scarves], but now this thing is not used to hide their identities, because they haven't met other players for two days, can they hide their identities in front of those scorpions and poisonous snakes on the Gobi...... This is just to prevent sand, because if a strong wind blows, the two of them may be poured with a mouthful of sand and spit for half a day, which can only be blamed on the fact that the game design is too realistic.

Walking in this environment, their "thirst value" also increases significantly faster, but fortunately they have a total of 10 water bottles, and 10 water bottles have just been filled with water not long ago, so they don't need to worry about drinking water for the time being.

Of course, they also choose to find a shady place to rest, where the growth rate of "thirst value" decreases, and at the same time, if they are not in a hurry, the "fatigue value" can gradually decrease.

But they don't need to do that just yet.

"Haha, big brother, do you know, that guy who is a very evil man is about to envy me to death."

Walking among the heavily weathered strange rocky mountain bags, Aunt Conch suddenly laughed...... The process of rushing is boring, and he naturally wants to have some fun, such as chatting with friends or something.

"Wicked Man ......"

Zuo Yang remembered this guy, and he was also in Zuo Yang's friend column.

When I saw Uncle Conch in the burial place before, these two people were together, and unlike Aunt Conch, Uncle Conch had at least other things, and this extremely evil man was a more poisoned landscape party.

"That's right, it's this guy, he knows that you came to the Western Regions with me, and you ran so far, you are snotty with envy, no, now he is begging me to say good things to you, and bring him one when I come back next time."

Uncle Conch smiled from ear to ear, and at the same time sent the content of the chat between him and the extremely evil man to Zuo Yang.

Zuo Yang was also bored, so he roughly browsed it...... The first half of the chat content is simply a very evil man's denunciation of Aunt Conch, scolding Uncle Conch is not interesting enough, such a good opportunity didn't call him together, and the second half became flattery, begging Uncle Conch to say something good to Zuo Yang, and bring him next time, by the way, it would be better if you could send him some screenshots of the scenery this time and let him go to the forum to pretend to be forced.

Just at this time, Zuo Yang was looking at the chat history to relieve his boredom.

"Big brother, there's someone in front!"

Uncle Conch suddenly lowered his voice and shouted, and then hurriedly pulled Zuo Yang to dodge behind a boulder next to him.

“!?”

Zuo Yang also subconsciously glanced ahead, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen people resting under the shade of a boulder.

These people are not players, they are all NPCs, and they seem to be very disciplined, seven or eight of the dozen or so people are standing in all directions in a surrounding manner, their eyes are constantly patrolling around, it seems that they should be sentry.

And the four or five people in the middle sat on the luggage they carried with them.

It's just that even though Uncle Conch's reaction was already very fast, in the process of him pulling Zuo Yang to dodge, those sentry officers still looked over and obviously noticed the two of them.

"Don't panic, we've been discovered."

Zuo Yang smiled and said to Uncle Conch.

"Well, it's all my ......"

Uncle Conch said with some annoyance.

"It's okay, meeting NPCs doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing, maybe it's an adventure."

Zuo Yang shook his head and smiled.

At the same time, the NPCs who discovered Zuo Yang and Uncle Conch were also immediately on alert, especially the seven or eight people on the periphery who instantly pulled out the weapons on their waists.

One of them walked to the middle, pointed in the direction where Zuo Yang and Uncle Conch were, and talked to one of the old men, who seemed to be the leader of the group, and he was reporting to him.

A moment later.

It should have been given some order, and the man took two more people and walked straight to Zuo Yang's side.
