Chapter 179: Letters
……
Because the communication signal is affected, all the cities in the Yunxu Mountains have become isolated islands, and there is no way to communicate with each other by high-tech means, so the most primitive method can only be used: manpower + letters.
Speed Abilities, which aren't usually very popular, get the best out of this environment.
The messengers carried letters and hurried back and forth between several cities to achieve the purpose of delivering messages.
And at this time, the price of communication is naturally high, after all, there are many demons outside, and every letter has the potential to kill the messenger.
Knowing that the messenger was doing a hard job, she resisted the urge to beat him when Zhang Yan saw the high-spirited messenger in front of her reaching out to her to ask for the hard money.
Zhang Yan put down the information she was sorting out in her hand and asked the messenger with an expressionless face:
"What did you just say? I didn't hear you. ”
If the messenger was tactful enough, he should be able to hear Zhang Yan's impatience, and he didn't make excessive demands just now.
But the Courier is clearly not tactful enough.
The obsessive male messenger had a dexterity that did not match his appearance, and like a wild cat, he jumped lightly up the steps and shook the black envelope in his hand:
"This is a letter from you, and the contents that will be used in black envelopes are all important, I work so hard, you don't pay half a psychic stone is not much, right?"
For the sake of convenience, the messengers carried four satchels every time they went out to deliver letters.
Each of the four satchels contained envelopes of four colors, from highest to lowest: black, red, yellow, and white.
Letters are not always guaranteed to be delivered, and in case of danger, the messenger will first throw away the bag containing the white envelope, and if there is still danger, throw away the yellow ...... And the last black bag will not be thrown away until death.
"The person who sent the black letter will pay two psychic stones, why should I pay another one for one recipient?"
Zhang Yan looked at the messenger coldly.
It's not that she feels sorry for the half of the psychic stone, it's just that she doesn't like the feeling of being threatened.
Originally, the cost of sending the letter was paid by the sender, and she should not tolerate this exploitation.
"Then I'll tear up the letter," the courier looked a scoundrel, "and it's worth nothing to me anyway, and the Adeptus Base won't embarrass me for a letter." ”
Zhang Yan glanced at him indifferently:
"You tear. If you dare to tear it, I will dare to tear your whole person to pieces, and if you tear the letter into several pieces, I will tear you into several pieces......"
Halfway through speaking, she threw the information she had sorted out into the spatial ring, and then slammed on the ability!
Two cobwebs flicked over, and the unsuspecting messenger was glued to the ground.
No matter how fast he is, he can't do anything to be controlled by Zhang Yan so stubbornly.
Zhang Yan stepped on the messenger's arm, broke his fingers one by one, and snatched the black envelope into his hand.
Seeing the sender on the front of the envelope, Zhang Yan frowned.
It's Liang Xiao.
After checking the sealing wax and showing no signs of destruction, Zhang Yan greeted a member of the Golden Dragon team who was watching:
"Bring this messenger to Leo, and use your mental power to check if he has spied on my letter, and you know what to do with the rest."
The named white vest of the Golden Dragon Team had a slight resistance to Zhang Yan's order, but he was generally obedient, obeyed the order, and obediently took away the messenger who was wrapped in cobwebs into zongzi.
Zhang Yan went to the office of the captain of the Golden Dragon Team to find Yan Zhuo, and she felt that it was necessary for the two of them to read the letter together.
Eight days ago, Yan Zhuo successfully completed the brainwashing of Leo.
The brainwashing is perfect, and in terms of skills, it is just crazy to create friendly and non-existent friendship memories, and Leo has completely regarded Yan Zhuo as a benefactor who had a friendship in the previous world.
Leo gave up the captain's position to Yan Zhuo, because Leo now admires Yan Zhuo very much and feels that Yan Zhuo is more suitable for the captaincy than him.
At first, the members of the Golden Dragons were very resistant, and they also complained to the real boss of the Alien Base, the "Hanaku City Government".
But later, after some investigation, the government believed that Yan Zhuo was indeed better than Leo, and his ability level was one level lower than Leo, and in the eyes of people, it was absolutely impossible for him to brainwash Leo.
Under the persuasion of Leo and Yan Zhuo's self-recommendation, Yan Zhuo really became the captain of the Golden Dragon team within a few days.
Zhang Yan had to admit that Yan Zhuo's serious appearance was really likable.
is handsome, but never uses his appearance to take advantage of the opposite sex.
Gentle in character, but not flattering and blindly obedient, he is assertive and can use a gentle attitude to persuade those who disagree with him.
capable, but not arrogant, knows how to respect everyone who is not as good as him, even if it is recognized as a waste, he can also dig out the shining points of the other party.
has a big picture, but he also takes care of the details, as long as it is something he is seriously involved in, the error rate is very small......
For such a new captain, most of the members of the Golden Dragons team have no opinion.
Coming to Yan Zhuo's office, Zhang Yan pushed open the door.
She saw Yan Zhuo sitting at his desk, hunching on his desk, with a good-looking smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Zhang Yan coming, Yan Zhuo lifted his glasses:
"Is the material report finished?"
"Alright." Zhang Yan took out the information she had just sorted out from the space ring and put it on Yan Zhuo's desktop.
Today, Zhang Yan's work is similar to Yan Zhuo's assistant, mainly responsible for material management, and many other miscellaneous tasks.
After a few words of serious work, Zhang Yan handed the black envelope to Yan Zhuo:
"Liang Xiao has a letter."
Hearing the name "Liang Xiao", Yan Zhuo's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the black envelope in his hand playfully:
"Since it's an urgent item, why do you have to bring it to me to see, just read it first and then tell me."
As he spoke, he took the scissors and began to open the letter.
Zhang Yan leaned on the desk, looked down at Yan Zhuo curiously:
"Liang Xiao is a friend of the two of us, so I think we should watch it together."
Yan Zhuo smiled helplessly:
"You...... What if it's a love letter? ”
"Who would send a love letter in an expedited mail? Unless...... No, how could it be a love letter. ”
Seeing that Zhang Yan never seemed to realize that Liang Xiao was a little cautious about her, Yan Zhuo smiled and said nothing.
When I opened the envelope, there was only a thin piece of paper inside, on which a few simple greetings were written, and the real content of the letter was actually only the last sentence of eight words: Kanglong has regrets, and the flying dragon is in the sky.
Kang Long has regret These four words come from the Book of Changes, which originally meant that people who are in the limelight should guard against arrogance and rashness, otherwise they are prone to trouble and regret.
The four words "Flying Dragon" in the sky refer to people in their heyday and high spirits.
Zhang Yan frowned:
"Liang Xiao won't waste three soul stones just to give me two life mottos, right? What's the meaning of this? ”
Yan Zhuo moved the letter under Zhang Yan's nose, and analyzed with a smile:
"In the last world, I saw the form filled in by Liang Xiao, and this handwriting is indeed Liang Xiao's.
With Liang Xiao's brain...... I probably can't think of anything too complicated, so it's easier to guess.
Because he was worried that the letter would be spied on, he could only convey some kind of message in a cryptic way, and among these eight words, the only one that had something to do with their team was the word 'dragon'.
'Flying Dragon in the Sky' means that the 'Dragon' has run away, and 'Kang Long has regrets' is to let us be careful about the 'Dragon', and this is what the Eight Achievements mean. ”
With Yan Zhuo here, Zhang Yan is too lazy to use her brain, since Yan Zhuo has analyzed it like this, then she agrees.
Yan Zhuo handed the letter to Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan set it on fire.
Looking at the letter that burned into ashes, Yan Zhuo smiled, and the lenses reflected the sunlight, so that people couldn't see his eyes clearly:
"Speaking of which, the team we are currently controlling is called the Golden Dragons...... Chinese people really like to use the word 'dragon'. Have you ever wondered why the reincarnators are all Chinese? ”
Zhang Yan Zhengse:
"I guess...... In the early stage, the worlds were in China, and there will be foreigners joining in the later stage, right? ”
At least, Zhang Yan felt that this long apocalyptic game would not come to an end so soon, so what she guessed in her mind was this similar mode of rushing and fighting.
"Nope. If the country is still involved, the third batch of reincarnators should not all be Huaxia, and they still have such a strong purpose and superior ability......" Yan Zhuo closed his eyes, "I guess, after this world is over, we may know why there are only Huaxia people." Therefore, they must not be killed by Yuan Zhige. ”
After being silent for two seconds, Yan Zhuo asked Zhang Yan with a gentle smile:
"Have you informed the teams of the afternoon 'hunt'?"
"OK, you can 'hunt' at any time."
"Hunting" refers to going on a hunt to kill demons.
Hanaku has never been attacked by demons, but that doesn't mean there aren't demons nearby.
In fact, since the establishment of the Alien Base in Hanaku City, there have been demons stationed in the darkness.
There is no movement of demons within the radiated area of the light of Hanaku City, but once someone enters the dark realm, it is easy to be ambushed by demons.
The activity of "hunting" has to be participated in by everyone, others are once a week, and Yan Zhuo and the three of them can be graced to once every two weeks because they have completed the task, and this time the "hunting" has to go, otherwise it will reduce the personal score.
Yan Zhuo tidied up the table, got up and walked out with Zhang Yan:
"This is the first time for the two of us to participate in the 'hunting', I don't know what the risks will be, I have already applied to bring 'Xiaopang', a light-based ability, and I also bring Wu Fang and Leo with me."
Wu Fang and Li Ao are both puppets who have been brainwashed by Yan Zhuo's senior level, and they need to wash their memories regularly and take them with them conveniently.
"Little Fat" worships Yan Zhuo, and it is easier to use it by his side.
And...... In times of crisis, all three characters can be used as cannon fodder.
Yan Zhuo is much more low-key than before, trying not to take the initiative to increase hatred for himself, but this does not mean that he has changed his sex.
For him, everyone can be cannon fodder, and anyone can use it to block guns.
Of course, only Zhang Yan is an exception.
