Chapter 7: The plot ends
"This is one of the Trade Alliance camps, Happy 101."
Rachel gestured to a small camp beneath the helicopter.
The camp is small but thriving, and many survivors live here.
And a large fountain in the center is also flowing endlessly, splashing and rippling.
Nearby, the cultists are explaining something to a survivor, and the people of the alliance caravan are also driving trucks to escort items, and the survivors are trading with each other, including some camp registration locations and the like, and there are mercenaries guarding every corner of Happy 101.
Serene and peaceful, presenting a thriving scene.
It's really hard to imagine that in this apocalypse, there is such a paradise.
But Xiaoyao is still very confused, what about Alexey? What's going on with the exploding lab in Hope Valley?
He can't figure these things out, is the novice plot ending like this?
Rachel seemed to see Xiaoyao's doubts, touched the silly hair on Xiaoyao's head, and said softly: "Uncle Alexey, you have died in the explosion of that laboratory. ”
Alexei treated her well, often bringing her some desserts outside, but now ......
Alexei is dead?
Xiaoyao didn't know why, his heart couldn't help twitching, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart, uncle, just died? (When the author had a novice plot, he was also moved.) )
remembered that the uncle turned him out of the truck, remembered that the uncle rescued him from the mouth of the infected, and remembered the bottle of peach blossom wine that the uncle gave him......
The tears of freedom flowed down uncontrollably.
After a moment of silence, Xiaoyao asked, "Uncle, why ......?"
"I don't know what's going on...... But that phone call seemed to be with Uncle Lazarov, he was a good friend of Uncle Alexei, and the two of them seemed to have committed suicide......" Rachel looked at Xiaoyao like this, a little distressed, and said: "We didn't know that Uncle was in Hope Valley at first, because Uncle was a little resistant to the Trade Alliance, and Uncle contacted us in order to take you out of Hope Valley." ”
"That's how it ......" Xiaoyao understood that until the end, he had been under Alexei's care.
Although it was only a few days, this bold uncle has become an indispensable part of his memory.
In the future, I will often burn paper money for my uncle, so that he can live well below (funny).
The two got out of the helicopter and stopped at the door of Happy 101.
Rachel asked, "What's next for you?" ”
Xiaoyao glanced at the gate of Happy 101, and although the scene inside the gate was prosperous, it felt a little fake.
People are smiling, but they feel like they're smiling.
This is a kind of intuition of Xiaoyao, indescribable, unclear.
He always felt that the water of 101 was very deep.
Xiaoyao sighed: "I don't want to come to this 101, is there any other place to stay?" ”
"Yes, the development zone." Rachel said with some disappointment.
"But you'll have to get Mayor Justin's approval."
"Well, sister, thank you for taking care of me along the way, take me there." Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said.
"Okay."
……
Happy 101, City Hall.
Rachel patted Xiaoyao on the shoulder and smiled, "Mayor Justin is on the second floor of the city hall. ”
"Be careful, he's not a good person, he's an old money addict, and he's even more snobbish, which is one of the things that Uncle Alexei hates about 101 and the Trade Alliance, because of the mayor, although 101 is more prosperous than other camps, but the tax rate is also high and terrible, and ...... Some survivors in the wild wanted to come in, and the mayor directly refused to go out, and even robbed and killed them indiscriminately! Rachel gritted her teeth, visibly resentful.
Xiaoyao was surprised: "Then this mayor is so brutal, why hasn't the trade alliance been replaced?" ”
"Because...... Trade unions are also very corrupt. Rachel said this, but her big eyes were full of helplessness.
"I kind of get it...... If, I mean, there is a chance that the trade union will be overthrown, will you do it? ”
"Definitely."
……
City Hall, luxuriously decorated on the second floor.
"You're a little ghost coming back from Hope Valley?"
Staring at the bald man in front of him in a purple coat and still holding a cigarette, Xiaoyao knew that he was not a good stubble.
This full of nouveau riche temperament almost flashed the eyes of a blind dog.
"Hey, I'm asking you, honestly, you're the little ghost who came back from Hope Valley? Or a friend of Alexei, right? The bald man took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled it slowly, looking at him with contempt.
"Yes, Mayor Justin." With this kind of attitude, Xiaoyao doesn't have to give him a good look.
"Heh......" Justin smiled contemptuously, snuffed out the cigarette butt, then looked at the window, and said leisurely: "You want to stay in the development zone, right?" Okay, I'll give Alexei a face, that piece of land is yours, you don't have to pay me anything. ”
Then he joked: "That piece of land, the infected are still dense, and I won't give you any help, just play slowly, boy." As he spoke, he threw a contract directly on Xiaoyao's face.
Xiaoyao is very annoyed, what is this mayor?
"That's your attitude?" Xiaoyao clenched his hands and said gloomily.
"So what? You're just a little ghost without any ability, if it weren't for Alexei's face, like you, you wouldn't be worthy of me 101! "Justin was impatient, a little imp like this, and before he changed it, he just threw him out to feed the infected.
"Hurry up after signing the contract, remember the big words on it, life and death at your own risk!"
"Good ......" looked normal, picked up the pen, and signed the contract. He knew that he could only endure it now, and endure it until he had the ability to humiliate the mayor and taste the shame of today.
After signing the contract, Xiaoyao put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly out of the city hall, while Justin looked full of banter.
"Don't let me down, little ghost."
……
"Sister Rachel, I'll come to 101 often to see you, bye."
It was dusk, and Xiaoyao stood at the gate of 101 and waved goodbye to Rachel.
"Well, remember to come to see my sister often, bring some dessert, hehe." Rachel's beautiful goose egg face smiled sweetly.
"Yes."
……
"The plot has ended, do you want to exit the story mode?"
In the real world, Xiao Yao looked at the pop-up window in the game and chose "yes".
"The exit is successful, and the next plot will unfold at the player's third measurement level 20!"
"The current player has three measurements level, Battle: 1, Crafting: 1, Gathering: 1."
As soon as the screen turned, the characters in the game appeared in the 101 development zone.
But Xiao Yao didn't have the heart to play anymore, rubbed his tired eyes, quit the game, and turned off the computer.
Walking out of the house, looking at the busy road, a little bored.
He wanted to look into the distance and let his eyes rest, but he preferred a quiet environment, shook his head, and went into the house again, lying on the sofa, closing his eyes, thinking about what had happened in the game before.
It really makes people feel real, and they unconsciously substitute for it.
"Give Peng Gou a call, this game is still a little interesting, let's go into the pit." Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Peng's number.
"Lao Peng, remember to take me, I'm in the pit, what's your game ID called?"
", hahaha, Lao Xiao, are you finally going to accompany the young master to gallop on horseback?"
"Heh......" Xiao Yao listened to this cheap voice, and his forehead couldn't help but burst out.
What a debt to it.
"Hahaha, my game ID is called Diao'er Peng, and I remember to call Brother Peng when I enter the game." On the other side of the phone, Chen Peng picked his nose and was crazy to death.
"Don't worry, enter the game, it won't be long before you will be beaten by me." Xiao Yao hung up the phone, he really didn't want to beep with this dead fat man.
As night wore on, Xiao Yao opened the window and looked at the busy street again, feeling melancholy.
On this day, it was like a dream.
