Chapter Fifty-Eight: Nowhere to Go
Even if you need to take a small sip of this drink, there will be a time when you will finish it.
Although there were not many people in the tavern at this time, Little Gray Ash would not mind if the two sisters and brothers continued to sit in the shop, even if they didn't order food, it didn't matter, but Bai Siyi still declined the proposal and pulled the boy out of the tavern.
After all, she couldn't stay in this tavern until the next one, and there seemed to be no difference between leaving a moment earlier and leaving a moment later.
The two siblings said goodbye to Little Gray Ash, pushed the door out of the tavern, and came to the street, looking at the endless crowd in front of them, Bai Siyi had the dazed feeling of squatting in front of the hospital in the Floating City last time. She didn't know why everyone she saw was in a hurry, as if they had an urgent goal to accomplish, and all she could do was confusion.
Now, she can walk to the left side of the street, but it doesn't seem to matter if she walks to the right side of the street.
Even, she had a feeling that even if she disappeared from the game now......
She didn't think about it anymore, because Lin Feifei's voice interrupted her confusion
"Sister, let's go to the place where the mine collapsed and take a look, okay? Didn't you say there was a task over there to pick up? I haven't seen a mission in the city yet. ”
Bai Si thought about it for a while, not to mention that Lin Feifei had never seen the tasks issued in the city, and she was no better than Lin Feifei. She nodded, agreeing to the boy's offer.
Looking at the boy's expression, he obviously wanted to cheer to congratulate his sister for agreeing to his proposal, but when he thought that the tens of thousands of players buried in the collapse of the mine were still alive and dead, Lin Feifei swallowed this joy back into his stomach.
This is a child who is easily emotional, and he is also a kind child who is willing to think about others. Bai Siyi had such an evaluation of Lin Feifei in his heart.
Finding the place of the collapse couldn't be easier, just follow the flow of people, and more than half of the people in the underground city are heading in that direction, and the sounds of people walking in groups are "buzzing" about the collapse of the mine. There are many more, and a steady stream of players from other cities to listen to the news appear in the city, and if it weren't for the streets being divided into a thousand lines, I don't know what it would have been like to be crowded.
However, before Bai Siyi and Lin Feifei reached the location of the incident, they were already blocked on the street by the impenetrable players surrounded by three circles inside and three circles outside, not to mention seeing the chengguan who issued the city task, even if they wanted to go to the vicinity of the big mine cave that belonged to the public area, it was still far away.
Lin Feifei clutched his sister's sleeve tightly, for fear that a surge in the crowd would wash them away. Some of the players in soft fabrics were fine, just jostling and pushing each other, and all players had been strengthened to a greater or lesser extent, so they didn't get hurt as a result. But there will always be some people in the crowd who are dressed in different ways, such as people dressed as hedgehogs, which will make the other players around them miserable.
I really don't know what other news the players will hear from the players who are still crowding from the rear in this chaotic situation.
Bai Siyi looked up at the rock wall above his head, above which he didn't know how far away, there were cold bands of light that were flowing as beautifully changing as the aurora, these bands of light were sometimes staggered, sometimes separated, and the colors were dreamy and cold so that people couldn't feel intimate. Looking at these psychedelic colors, a chilling thought suddenly appeared in Bai Siyi's mind: if the collapse of the big mine cave was really a man-made disaster, and there was really a mastermind behind the scenes who wanted to kill tens of thousands of players at once, then more players who were now attracted to listen to the news were definitely the second target for the masterminds behind the scenes. If you create the same disaster on the rock wall above your head again, even if it is just a single line, it will not achieve the effect of all the lines in the public area being affected at the same time, but the number of people killed will be ......
Thinking of this, Bai Siyi picked up Lin Feifei, who still wanted to squeeze in, and retreated in the opposite direction of the crowd.
"Sister?" Lin Feifei was tiptoeing, trying to see the scene in the distance through the crowd, this boy's height really didn't allow him to see enough things that interested him in the crowd.
"Let's not go any further, let's have a chance to learn about the city mission in the future." Bai Si took into account the crowded players around him, and did not say his guess, but just explained to Lin Feifei in an ominous manner.
"Oh, okay then." Lin Feifei's face had a look of frustration that could not be concealed, and the boy's eyebrows were as pale as two thin cigarettes. However, the boy looked at the situation ahead and knew that it was unrealistic to achieve his goal today, so he retreated out of the crowd with Bai Siyi.
"Sister, where are we going now?" When the two of them stood under the eaves of a building shaped like a French bread, looking at the flow of people pushing forward like ants in front of them, Lin Feifei asked a little listlessly. The house, which looked like a bread, was glowing pale blue and smelling of paint, so I don't know what kind of shop it was.
Hearing Lin Feifei's question, Bai Siyi's heart felt confused again. It stands to reason that they have a lot of things to do now, such as taking advantage of the scarcity of players in the city to visit the city, find out the location of various functional buildings, or find a quiet place to go to the forum to check the information, and she has a plan to become a god just formed in her mind, even if it is to visit the shops and players' stalls, and learn about the various props and prices in the game, it is always more meaningful than standing on the side of the street and staring at the crowd.
However, Bai Si wanted to do everything, but found that everything had no reason for her to do it. She knew that she needed to become stronger, and she needed to know more about the game in order to live with Lin Feifei, but there was always a sense of urgency in her heart that she couldn't explain. She felt like an old pickup truck with a half-empty fuel tank, crawling towards an uphill stretch of road, even though she knew that the target was ahead, even if she desperately stepped on the accelerator under her feet, she was always half a breath off, and could only hesitate on this slope to keep herself from sliding. Even, she would think that instead of struggling like this, it would be better to compromise with herself, be caught by gravity and slide downward, all the way back to square one.
Origin? Where did she come from? Was it the moment she got into the game? Or is it a long time ago when nothing happened before there was a chance to change?
Bai Siyi was distracted at this time, staring at every player in front of her who had a goal to advance, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle, she actually felt that she was the one who was out of step with the whole world.
"Sister, what are you thinking? Where are we going next? Lin Feifei saw that Bai Siyi didn't answer, asked again, and shook Bai Siyi's arm, the boy's warm palm touched Bai Siyi's arm, and she suddenly came back to her senses.
"Let's take a walk around the city." Bai Siyi replied casually, "Didn't you say that there is a place called Miners' Square?" Check it out. ”
"Holo." Hearing that they could take a good walk around the city and that the two of them also had their next destination, Lin Feifei's drooping head immediately lifted up, looked around, and became energetic, wanting to find the appearance of the miner's square at a glance. Lin Feifei chose a random direction, and pulled Bai Siyi out of the bread-shaped building, the pungent smell of paint almost tortured the boy to madness.
The siblings began to move against the flow of people again. Along the way, Bai Siyi was obviously not in a state, just following Lin Feifei's footsteps. Lin Feifei asked the other players twice for directions on the way, and finally recognized the direction to the Miner's Square.
The Miners' Square is easily recognizable, located where every road can be reached, and the old wooden plaque with the words Miners' Square erected on the road can be seen from a long distance.
After understanding the concept of the public area, Bai Siyi deliberately paid attention to whether there was a sense of disharmony similar to being teleported around him when he stepped into the square, but he didn't know if this miner's square did not belong to the public area, or whether the teleportation into the public area was invisible, Bai Siyi did not find that he had any strange feeling on his body.
The square is so vast that you can imagine what it would be like on a normal day.
However, just like not seeing the city mission, Lin Feifei is destined to be disappointed for the second time today.
