Chapter Seventy-Six: The Apartment
Seeing that everyone else announced their tasks, it is not surprising that the tasks of everyone here are the same, Meng Xin did not show any surprised expression after learning of this result, in fact, he had already guessed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the quest prompts him to protect the newcomer as much as possible, it is unlikely that he will part ways with them, which means that if his mission is to find an apartment, then their mission must revolve around this apartment.
Seeing that Meng Xin, who was standing on the side, had not spoken, and the others had consciously stopped talking, in their hearts, Meng Xin's strength was obvious to all, and he was also a veteran with rich experience, so they naturally subconsciously cared about his face, and no one dared to leave Meng Xin alone to discuss.
There is a faint feeling that Meng Xin is the backbone, in contrast, Wang Tianming, who initiated everyone to introduce himself before, has become dispensable.
And Wang Tianming was also clever at this time, with Xu Dafu's experience, he immediately became low-key, and looked at Meng Xin's eyes a little cautiously, for fear that it would cause Meng Xin's dissatisfaction.
Meng Xin smiled at this, and the careful thoughts of these people were immediately clear, and he coughed lightly, and at the same time, the outline of an ordinary residential building in the distance appeared in sight.
Not surprisingly, the apartment they were looking for in their mission should be this one.
After everyone stopped talking, they kept their eyes on Meng Xin's body, and saw that he didn't speak for a long time, but just turned his head to the other side.
Following Meng Xin's gaze, then, they seemed to see the building, the building is not very high, but it is not short, about five or six floors, in this barren jungle, this building looks very eye-catching, it is really strange not to find it.
"That's the apartment we're looking for?" Gao Sen stood on tiptoe and raised his head to look at the building in the distance, not because he was too short to see, but because he wanted to see the whole building as much as possible, after all, it was just a phantom outline, and it could not satisfy their curiosity.
didn't care about the excitement in Gao Sen's tone, Meng Xin nodded after that, acquiescing to his guess.
Now that you see the target, it's easy to do it after that, the task is to find the apartment and become a resident of it before it gets dark, and now looking at the position and intensity of the sun, it seems that it is about noon, and there is still some time before the real darkness.
The time is not very short, and the building doesn't seem to be particularly far away from everyone, as long as it's not too grinding, it should be more than enough to live in before dark.
got Meng Xin's confirmation, everyone was relieved, Xu Dafu just glanced at it from a distance at this time, and didn't say much, and Song Yu seemed to have rarely spoken from the beginning, I don't know if he hasn't adapted to this new environment or has been a taciturn character.
The woman named He Qian, when she heard Gao Sen's words, seemed to feel that she was about to go, so she stood up tremblingly and patted the dirt on her body, but the pair of high heels on her feet looked so eye-catching in the current environment.
"Let's get over there." Gao Sen couldn't hold back his meaning, turned to look at Meng Xin, as if waiting for him to make an idea, and at the same time, Wang Tianming on the side also shifted his gaze to Meng Xin.
Meng Xin glanced at the other three, and as soon as he noticed Xu Dafu, the latter immediately shuddered, obviously remembering his previous fear, and his head was lowered.
Then he skipped Song Yu, who had almost no presence in the crowd, and saw He Qian's feet, and couldn't help frowning, I have to say that under this special situation, the survival rate of women is undoubtedly much lower than that of men, and the high heels on these feet alone are a trouble.
Moreover, she is not as good as Li Qingxue at the beginning, Li Qingxue wore high heels into the mission world because of her confidence in her own strength, because for a member of her level, this kind of subtle detail has little impact on strength.
But for the current He Qian, the shoes on her feet are not at all good except for increasing the drag.
Meng Xin also retracted his gaze after just a glance at this, to tell the truth, although He Qian is a little older, she is definitely a rare beauty when she is young, but Meng Xin obviously has no interest in this kind of dead branches and leaves, not to mention that Dafa is kind enough to exchange a pair of flat shoes from the nightmare platform for her to change, unless his head is squeezed by the door will do this kind of thing.
After receiving Meng Xin's instructions, Gao Sen understood that he was about to step towards the grass in front of him, but as soon as his front feet had a tendency to step over, he heard a cold voice from behind him,
"If you're not afraid of death, go ahead."
Hearing this voice, Gao Sen was immediately frightened and forcibly fixed one of the feet that had been kicked out in mid-air, and cold sweat was faintly dripping down between his foreheads, and then after thinking for a while, he still retreated, turned his head and looked at Meng Xin with a puzzled face, not knowing why he stopped himself.
In fact, so far Meng Xin's impression of Gao Sen is quite good, which is why he stopped him.
"What do you see on your right?"
Right? Gao Sen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then did as Meng Xin said.
"It's a road." Gao Sen was a little confused, but he still said it honestly.
"You don't take the road in front of you, and go to the grass with enough food?"
Ignoring Gao Sen's embarrassment after being reprimanded by himself, Meng Xin, who he was thinking about, certainly understood, because the direction of the road under their feet was obviously a large deviation from the direction to the apartment, and giving up the road under their feet and going directly into the grass was a shortcut in comparison, which would undoubtedly save a lot of time in terms of time.
But
What is this place?
This is the quest world, and if you're simply looking for a shortcut, and thus going against the will of the Nightmare Platform, then to put it mildly, death is not far away.
Here, this road represents its will, otherwise, why does it give you a road, is it just a decoration for the purpose of constructing an artistic conception?
In the mission world, you should follow the meaning of the nightmare platform as much as possible, and don't think about deliberately violating it, which is also the experience that Meng Xin explored in the first two mission worlds.
On the other side, He Qian seemed to feel the hindrance of the shoes on her feet, so she took them off directly, and was stepping on the ground barefoot at the moment, and the flesh-colored stockings wrapped around the outside were negligible.
Seeing this, Meng Xin walked straight to He Qian and touched the shoes she was holding in his arms, Meng Xin didn't seem to see the shame on the woman's face, so he pulled out one of the shoes.
When everyone was puzzled by what Meng Xin had done, they saw Meng Xin directly throw the shoes in his hand into the withered yellow grass.
And before they could react, they found that the shoe crossed a parabolic arc in the air, and at the moment when the shoe landed, the grass at the bottom seemed to suddenly have life, and the dead grass was windless and automatic, forming a small whirlpool in an instant, and when the shoe completely fell, it had disappeared, and I don't know where it was taken by the whirlpool.
Hiss!
Everyone gasped after seeing this scene, especially Gao Sen, who was still a little puzzled just now, was even more speechless at this time, and at the same time couldn't help but feel a look of fear in his heart, if it wasn't for Meng Xin to stop him in time, maybe it would not be as simple as a shoe that was swept into the whirlpool now, but his body!
glanced at Meng Xin cautiously, and saw Meng Xin's indifferent expression, as if he had long expected this incident in front of him, at this time, Gao Sen's heart was full of gratitude,
"Thank you!"
Of course, Meng Xin's purpose in doing this was not to get Gao Sen's thanks, because since the task was for him to protect these newcomers, of course he couldn't let these people die easily, even if they died, they couldn't die in such a simple trap.
This grass, maybe these newcomers can't see anything, but Meng Xin sensed the powerful aura hidden in the grass at a glance, and he asked himself that with his current strength, he had no chance of winning against it, maybe due to some kind of restriction, this aura could only be entrenched in the grass and could not come out.
If the group didn't provoke, it stands to reason that there would be no danger, and Meng Xin knew that this must be a hidden stake specially planted here by the Nightmare Platform, in order to prevent them from following the rules.
Meng Xin also understood, it is estimated that as long as they honestly follow the road in front of them and no longer play tricks, there should not be too much danger, and it is only a matter of time before they reach the apartment, after all, the task has just begun, and if too many people are lost in the mandatory task, it is really a bit boring.
Getting this message, everyone is not staying, since you want to take a long detour, then you must grasp the time, don't when it is dark, and you don't even touch the corner of the apartment, then it's funny, although the task does not clearly indicate what the punishment will be after failure, just say "you will spend the night in the suburbs", but this is just a sentence, and the amount of information contained in it is very large.
Let's not say that spending the night in the suburbs is certainly not as comfortable as an apartment, and what is there in the suburbs? What are the dangers? It is not clear to these people, in contrast, that living in a safe haven like an apartment is the way to go.
……
There were no accidents along the way, but it was not until late in the evening, when everyone's patience was running out, that they came to the front of the building.
A simple old-fashioned apartment building, without too much decoration, and it seems that it can't even afford the name, only the word "apartment", two small and small Chinese characters painted with paint, printed on a wooden board nailed to the wall.
