Chapter 141: The Choice After Awakening
Thanks to the vital signs sensors that they carried with them, the vast majority of the bodies of the deceased were quickly located and located by the processing team. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, some injuries are too severe, such as those of the deceased who have been beaten and dragged to the point of mutilation, and the chances of finding the whole body are slim to none. However, in the vast desert environment, this level of death is not enough to break the universal food chain - the sun, which is fiercer than the flames, will quickly dry the remaining water in their bodies, and the desert creatures that inhabit the shadows will also quickly break down every muscle and even cell of their body, leaving nothing left and nothing wasted.
In the temporary camp that Zode and the others used to rebuild from the town's original medical station, Lu Pingchuan was still asleep, while Xia Yan was basically awake. At this moment, while allowing Madeleine to change the dressing on her right arm, she used her still mobile left hand to flip over the system dial information, and sorted out the clues she needed: what happened last night, in addition to Zhu Yaoming's death, there was another thing that exceeded her expectations - in the list of dead announced by the organizer, the four members of Jiang Lan's team who chose to stay behind all died.
Although she knew that Jiang Lan had definitely withdrawn from the closed beta, the sniper's elusiveness last night still reminded Xia Yan of this name that should have been turned over. Originally, under the premise that Jiang Lan had left, Tang Yao, the only other sniper in the team who was cultivated by Jiang Lan, was one of the most likely executors of the black gun last night, but they were all dead...... This unreasonable turn of events aroused Xia Yan's vigilance, and she vaguely felt that the fall of Jiang Lan's team should have some connection with Zhu Yaoming's death, and this unknown clue hidden in the fog would most likely affect the course of their game in the future.
If Zhu Yaoming hadn't stepped forward yesterday, I'm afraid that the person who would be killed would have been her or Lu Pingchuan -- he was just a chess piece, and there was no obvious benefit in killing him. However, what if the other party's first target is only Lu Pingchuan? Who would use such a targeted elimination to eliminate an adversary who has not yet been formed? Is it to get rid of the contenders on the way to the championship? Or is it just to crack down on the forces behind Lu Pingchuan?
Because she can only contact the "boss" on a single line, although the current Xia Yan has the identity of "shuffler", she can't get more exact information. After Madeleine finished changing the medicine, Xia Yan still maintained a contemplative posture and did not move. Madeleine thought she was mourning her teammates, and retreated with interest, and after a few minutes knocked on the door again, and came in again: "Lu woke up, and his state looks strange...... Would you like to go over and have a look? ”
Xia Yan sighed, reached out and grabbed the coat hanging on the bedside, got up in her clothes, and followed Madeleine to the next ward to visit Lu Pingchuan, who had just woken up.
In some messy wards, Lu Pingchuan was lying on the hospital bed with his back against two pillows, and the quilt was covered with a pile of equipment items. He looked much quieter than he imagined, just staring at the pendant in his hand - Xia Yan recognized that it was Zhu Yaoming's talisman that never left him, and the things spread out on the bed were also Zhu Yaoming's personal belongings before his death.
"As soon as he woke up, he asked for Lao Zhu's things, and he didn't say anything else, he kept asking if he didn't give him, and he didn't answer any other topics." Situ Nan, who was in charge of taking care of Lu Pingchuan, had a headache on his face, "This is what it looks like after giving it to him...... You said he fell off the motorcycle yesterday, did he hit his head? ”
"I don't know, it's not the first time he's hit his head in the closed beta." Xia Yan said perfunctorily, sent Situ Nan out of the ward, cleaned up an open space on the edge of the bed and sat down, and said to Lu Pingchuan, "What do you want to ask?" ”
“…… Actually, I used to envy him. Staring at the pendant that left mottled marks after the blood in his hand dried up, Lu Pingchuan didn't ask a question, but said thoughtlessly, "I used to envy him, he has always had a goal he wants to achieve, and there are always people waiting for him to go back...... It's not like me, I don't know what I'm living for...... If you just want to make some money to go back when you come in, and you can get ahead for a while, then now ...... He's the one who wants to go back alive, but why did he come to save me? ”
"Because that's who he is." Xia Yan leaned on the edge of the bed and lifted Erlang's legs, picked up half a pack of cigarettes from Zhu Yaoming's relics, and lit one for herself, "Don't think about it, he made such a choice at that time, it was completely instinctive, and you don't need to blame yourself for it." ”
"Is that so?" Lu Pingchuan put down the pendant in his hand, stared at the ceiling and began to smirk, laughing and laughing, tears suddenly flashed in his eyes, "I have always owed others...... Although I have things I want and people I want to protect, I always drop the chain at the most critical moment...... Am I muddy and can't hold up the wall? ”
Xia Yanwu spat out smoke rings and did not speak. After a long time, he extinguished the cigarette butt on the floor, turned his head to look at Lu Pingchuan and said, "After thinking clearly, make a decision quickly - stay or leave, it's still too late." ”
"It's too late, I owe a life, and I can't go back." Lu Pingchuan shook his head, sat up from the bed, rummaged through the relics, and took out a box from Zhu Yaoming's backpack, "So I won't run away anymore, I'm going to do something for him." ”
Xia Yan glanced at the box and recognized it as Zhu Yaoming's position-specific mission equipment, and it was also the legendary "hidden mission": "Pharmacist Konstantin's box". Lu Pingchuan took the box, looked at it for a while, took out the key that he had been holding for a long time from the pocket of his coat, decisively tore off the QR code on the key mouth of the box, and inserted the key into it.
