Chapter 10: No Man's City (7) Preparation

"No, it won't... In such a big city, there will always be some place where there is food. ”

Listening to the wolf's words, I was also a little panicked, but after all, I was a few years older than Mecca, and looking at his pale face, although I was not very confident, I could only comfort him. If a city is so big, there's something left... Should... Would it?

As we spoke, we followed Wolf Fang to the shelf where fruit knives were sold, and while weighing the weight of each style with his hands, he chose the light and sharp ones to take, and said, "There will be, but do we have the time to find them?" ”

Wolf Tooth said, took out an electronic watch, I don't know when he took it from the supermarket shelf: "It's just after four o'clock in the afternoon, it's dark late in summer, it is estimated that there are still three or four hours to get dark, we have to find everyone before dark, at least today is not time to find food." Let's see what else is needed, we're going to find someone else. ”

"Someone else? How many more people will there be? I asked, "And, how are we going to find them?" ”

"I don't know how many of them, but I can probably deduce something from your conversation." Wolf Fang said as he took a hiking bag from the nearby shelf and loaded it with the knife he had just chosen.

"In our conversation? What did you deduce? Mecca also helped the wolf tooth to start loading the fruit knife, until it was half a school bag, and the two stopped.

Wolf Fang looked at it, picked out another knife that looked heavier, and was wider and longer, and put it in his bag, and threw a backpack to Mecca and mecca, and chose a small but also somewhat heavy knife for us to pack. Actually, Mecca asked the same question I wanted to ask, so we were all waiting for the wolf's tooth to answer.

He finally said, "If my idea is correct, this is the city is made up of a patch of space around the location where each of you are trapped, and each person influences the formation of a small space, and we are now in a range centered on Moli, and in Mecca is centered on S large. The supermarket we are in now can be approximated as the center of the Moli area, and the distance traveled by Mecca is the distance between the two centers, through which we can roughly infer the scope of each area, and it is easier to find the people in that area. Mecca, do you remember where you found the road changing, probably somewhere along the way? ”

Mecca looked at Wolf Fang with a confused expression, obviously not understanding his explanation just now, but still replied honestly: "I remember this, probably exactly halfway through the whole process." ”

"Well, then, the wolf's guess should be correct." I nodded at Mecca's words, confirming the wolf's tooth speculation.

The junction is located in the middle of two "center points", indicating that it is indeed a patch of the same size centered on each player to form the current world. I really didn't expect Wolf Fang to notice such a small detail, and when I was chatting with Mecca, my attention was so focused on the situation in his bedroom that I didn't notice it at all.

"Wait, wait, what that means, I didn't get it too clear." Mecca asked, confused, "What speculation is correct?" I still don't get it. ”

"I'll explain it to you on the road later, you guys will draw something first." Wolf Fang said, handing me a notebook and a pen to Mecca and Mecca: "Centered on your room, draw as many streets and buildings as you can think of, and draw as many as you can remember." ”

The surrounding streets? Building? Draw it out?

This time it was my turn to look confused.

Mecca naturally took the notebook and began to draw, but I watched the wolf's tooth hand it over and did not move for a long time. Looking at Wolffang's puzzled frown, I racked my brain to think about how to tell him the cruel fact that "what we just walked is all I remember" so as not to seem so embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Draw quickly, we're in a hurry to find someone else. The wolf's voice was impatient, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is there a problem?" ”

I've noticed that Wolf Fang seems to squint slightly when he's in a bad mood, like now.

"I... Uh..."I hesitated, but couldn't find any more euphemistic words, so I decided to tell the truth: "That... In fact...... I'm a road idiot. ”

"Road idiot?" Wolffang frowned, as if he hadn't understood the fact that I didn't know the way.

"Don't you leave you, are you a road idiot? To what extent is the road idiot? I have a friend who is also a road idiot and never dares to go out alone. On the contrary, Mecca on the side first understood my situation and helped me out: "Don't expect Mo to leave, no matter how long a serious road idiot can't remember the road, she probably won't be able to draw the map you want, I'll draw what I can remember on the road I walked." ”

"Can't you draw at all?"

I could clearly see that the wolffang's brow was furrowed even tighter, and I couldn't tell how I hated me. I think he can even kill flies with his eyebrows now, but even if he kills me with his eyebrows now, I don't know, I can't even make it up.

"I can draw a little bit, it's the part we just walked through, I remember." I replied honestly, watching as the wolf's already dark face grew darker.

He pursed his lips slightly, then ignored me, threw aside the notebook and pen in his hand, and turned his head to look at the picture drawn by Mecca. Despite the lack of superfluous expressions, movements, or words, I could clearly feel his contempt and disgust... Belch... What's wrong with not remembering the road! Not remembering the road is the natural human right of every road idiot!

"Go and install some lighters, flashlights, and if you have candles, find some to bring with you, and take the rest by yourself, and when Mecca finishes painting, we'll leave the supermarket and find someone else."

Probably because I didn't play the value he expected, the wolf fang didn't like my idle leisurely appearance, so he supported me to do some physical work.

I pouted, honestly went to find what he said, put it in my bag, and by the way, found something that I thought would be useful and put it away together.

Once I had packed my backpack and mapped Mecca, the three of us came out of the supermarket to find the others.

"Which direction are we going?" Mecca asked, raising her hand to shield herself from the harsh sunlight as she looked around.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still high in the western sky, exuding a scorching temperature, and the light was still dazzling. The electricity supply in the supermarket has long been stopped, so it is relatively dim, and when I walk from the dim interior to the outside, I can't help but get used to the bright light of the sun for a while, and I can't help but raise my hand above my eyes, blinking my sour eyes to adjust to the change of light.

Wolf Fang didn't react much, just squinted slightly and looked around, pointed in the direction of the right-hand side and asked, "Are you from this direction?" Down the road? ”

"This way... yes, I'm riding from here, and the bike I'm riding is still here. Mecca looked at it and nodded affirmatively, gesturing to a spot against the wall.

I followed Mecca's finger and looked at a rag-looking woman's bicycle parked there.

"Your car is broken enough." I said casually.

Mecca followed my gaze and smiled a little awkwardly, "Ah... Isn't this just looking for it, the locks on the new car are too strong, so just kick the two-foot lock and open it. By the way, Wolffang, shall we ride over there? Then we'll need to get two more bikes, and you'll all be able to ride them. ”

"Cycling? I'll still do this, shall we ride a bike? ”

I said and looked at the wolf fang inquiringly, after all, it was him who was talking about it now.

"No, we don't ride." Wolf Fang shook his head, raised his left hand and pointed, "Let's go over here and find the others." ”

"Why this way?" I asked, confused.

Actually, I'm just politely asking, after all, it doesn't make a difference to me which way to go, and I don't recognize it anyway.

"We're still going down this road because it's in a straight line, and if there's a central point where other people are there, then the distance should be the same as the distance in Mecca. If not, then the area with you as the center point is at the edge, and we can find the boundary, and we can find other areas along the boundary. ”

Wolf Fang explained to me, and I probably understood what he meant, that if you find the border, you can be sure that you can walk through the area without getting lost. It's very simple, it's like the way out of the maze – keep one hand on the wall and you'll be able to get out of the maze.

"The edge? What edge? The edge of the city? We're going out of town? ”

When I heard Mecca's confused voice, I remembered that Wolffang hadn't explained to Mecca that we were still in the room in order to conceal that he hadn't just entered the place, so he thought Wolffang was talking about the edge of the city. And I knew very well that the wolf's fangs were referring to the edge of the room.

This damn room, damn game, damn world.

I was silent and did not answer Mecca's question, not knowing what the wolf's teeth were intending to do, and I thought it would be better for him to answer the question himself.

"Well, yes, the edge of the city, I guess around the periphery of the city, there are not so many roads and buildings, it's not easy to get lost."

Shh It's really a lie, and my face is not red and my heart is not beating. I heard Wolf Fang explain in a serious way, and I couldn't help but curse him in my heart. It seems that I really have to be careful with him, and I almost want to take it seriously. I used to say "I don't know" too. I'm still the same sentence, I bet on the mouse I'm most afraid of, if what he says about losing memory and what he doesn't know is true, then let me take a day trip to the rat nest!

"Oh... So how do we get there without riding a bike? ”

Mecca didn't seem suspicious at all, and naturally spoke of another question. Oh! Naive wheat plus, you know, some people don't close their eyes when they talk nonsense!

Wolf Fang is still the first calm look, glad to relax and no reaction at all, I think I should admire him, he probably took his own lies seriously.

"We drove there, which saves time and energy," he said. If you really can't find food, it's important to conserve your stamina. After all, there is such a scene around you, and those things that attack the people in the city can appear at any time. If you have a car, you can also have some safety guarantees. ”

Mecca scratched his hedgehog head, looking a little cute: "That's the truth, but where are we going to get a car?" ”

Instead of answering Mecca's question immediately, Wolf Fang raised his chin in one direction, and I looked in that direction, where the surface parking lot of the supermarket was full, filled with dozens of cars of all types.

"Cars? Isn't there a ready-made one? ”
