Chapter 259: The Deal Is Done
Hearing the girl's reply, 659, who was half-squatting on the ground, was extremely embarrassed.
"Stay with me once? What to accompany? Sleep? ”
659 chuckled twice, ready to get up from the ground.
In fact, he didn't plan to make the girl pay any price, since he knew that the "father" who adopted the girl was Zhang Ning, he decided to take a risk to find out.
For 659, the Red Moon World was far more dangerous than he had imagined, but the amount of information hidden in it was also far greater than he had imagined.
In the 659 plan, although Zhang Ning is not a key figure, he is also a variant of his great-grandfather.
In addition, the mother of the adopted little girl in front of her had seen Lu Yu die in the Red Moon World.
Under the superposition of the two situations, no matter how you look at it, you can't let this little girl go.
659 had already made up her mind in her heart, but the little girl seemed to be still immersed in the negotiation of the transaction, and when she heard 659's slightly playful rhetorical question, there was a hint of uneasiness on her pale little face.
"You, I...... I know I'm young, but ...... But you can wait for me to grow up! I eat very little, and my mom is good-looking, my genes are good, you won't lose......"
Xiao Yi said incoherently, and her face turned red into an apple at some point.
If it weren't for saving her father, how could she be a little girl who would say such explicit and shameless words.
The more the girl spoke, the more embarrassed she became, her head was already on the ground, and there was a hint of crying in her tone.
As a child born in a dungeon, Xiaoyi has not seen the fate of those good-looking and delicate-skinned children after losing their parents and family.
Without the protection of their parents, they are like cubs who have lost their protection.
In the eyes of some scumbags, it has become something that can be played with wantonly.
After being deprived of the right to be a human being, if you are lucky, you may be able to find a more gentle master, and live a difficult life in a hungry and full day;
Those who are unlucky may be directly abused to death, or even cooked and eaten.
Although the guards in the city below will not sit idly by, the dungeon is too big, and there are always corners without sunlight, and the kind-hearted guards can't really take care of everything even if they want to save it.
I can only see it and stop it.
Therefore, in such an environment, the children who can survive have become very "up-to-the-road".
Even if they knew about the scumbags' intentions, they would do their best to cater to them, just to save their lives.
Even if it can be unimaginably tormented.
"General Bai, what do you think?"
Seeing that the little girl knelt on the ground and made no sound, in order to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere, 659 set his eyes on Bai Donggu beside him.
But unexpectedly, Bai Donggu had already turned his attention to him, and was looking at him with a strange gaze at the moment.
Although he didn't say anything, 659 could still read the hidden contempt in Bai Donggu's eyes.
"Hey, I'm not that kind of person, okay, just teasing this little girl......"
Helplessly, he vomited in his heart, 659 didn't argue anything, just shook his head and looked at 173, which continued to drop.
173 has been asleep since the beginning of the conversation, and he doesn't know when he will wake up.
"It seems that I am the only one who set off to look for it, it is really non-stop......"
Retracting his gaze, 659 dismissed the idea of waking 173 up, and reached out to help the little girl on the ground.
"Get up, don't your knees hurt when you kneel on the ground."
The little girl who felt her body being lifted up raised her head in surprise, her tearful eyes full of surprise and joy.
"Big brother...... You agreed to go to my dad? ”
"Well, but you have to tell me everything about your father, and you can't miss a single detail."
659 nodded and said solemnly.
"Good ......"
A smile bloomed on the girl's tear-stained face, but before she could be happy, the girl seemed to suddenly think of something, the smile quickly faded, and fear and uneasiness crept back up her cheeks.
Bai Donggu, who was silent on the side, also stepped forward at this time, as if he wanted to say something to 659.
Looking at the little girl with a sudden change in complexion and the white winter bone who wanted to stop talking, 659 naturally knew what the two of them were worried about, smiled bitterly, and waved his hand.
"I'm not interested in this little girl, and the reason why I agreed to help her is because of the information behind the stump."
As he spoke, 659's fingertips tapped the monocle on his temple, turning off the high-frequency analysis mode.
Although this mode is easy to use, the consumption of psionic energy is also quite huge, and it is necessary to leave the dungeon to find the little girl's father at the moment, and you have to leave a margin in case you need it.
Hearing 659's answer, Bai Donggu breathed a sigh of relief, although his identity was a middle-level general in the dungeon, if 659 really wanted to take the girl away, then he couldn't do anything.
After all, this is a deal that the girl voluntarily proposed, and he is not a relative of the girl and has no right to interfere.
Similarly, the smile on the girl's face bloomed again, if her father was not in danger, how could she be willing to trade her immature body in exchange.
"There's not much time, let's get off as soon as possible."
Seeing that both of them understood their thoughts, 659 did not pause and urged bluntly.
This gave Bai Donggu a strange feeling, as if it was not the girl Xiaoyi's father who was going to be saved next, but the relatives of the Elder in front of him.
But strange and strange, Bai Donggu still walked to the door first and opened the door for the two behind him.
"Let's go, I can't help you find someone, but it's okay to provide some equipment and maps."
As he spoke, he gave way at the door and motioned for the two behind him to leave with him.
"What is he going to do?"
659 spoke, his gaze turning to 173, who was lying on the table.
"Lao Tzu will take care of him, you can rest assured."
Before Bai Donggu could speak, a muffled voice like thunder exploded in the room.
Xu Xiafeng didn't know when he woke up, sitting on a chair and preparing to take out a cigarette and light a fire.
"He ......"
659 didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to set his eyes on the white winter bone at the door.
"Well, 173 just stay here, his spirit needs to heal itself, and sleep is only good for him."
"And...... This is actually Xia Feng's private room, and no one will disturb him under normal circumstances. ”
"Click."
The sound of a cigarette from a lighter was like an unceremonious eviction order, igniting the silence in the room.
Xu Xiafeng, who had a fat face, took a hard puff of his cigarette, tilted his head slightly, and spit into the air.
The gray-white smoke shot straight at 659 as it stood in the doorway.
"That's right, Lao Tzu is very quiet here, usually Lao Bai and Xiao Xiao come back to go shopping, leave this kid here with peace of mind, it will be fine."
His eyes jumped a few times between Xu Xiafeng and Bai Donggu, and 659 finally nodded and agreed with Bai Donggu's approach.
The three of them left the room in Xu Xiafeng's cloud swallowing fog and walked along the dark corridor towards the deeper part of the dungeon.
During the journey, 659 asked Bai Donggu in detail about the alternation of day and night in this world, as well as some matters that needed attention, so that he could respond to them in subsequent rescue operations.
But as the questioning deepened, 659 felt more and more that this timeline was far more strange than he had imagined.
According to Bai Donggu's description, due to the change of the earth's rotation cycle, people define the hour before the cataclysm as the standard time to remeasure day and night in order to facilitate measurement.
The alternation of day and night is 1,200 standard hours, of which the time of day is about 500 standard hours, and the time of the night world is 650 standard hours, and the rest of the hours
In between the early morning and dusk, when black and white intersect.
Due to the lengthened interval between day and night, the average daytime temperature can reach 60 degrees Celsius, and even 80 degrees Celsius in some extreme areas.
Without protective clothing, humans can easily be burned by the sun, and even worse, they may die of hypothermia and dehydration.
In this environment, ordinary plants lose the possibility of growth, and only some mutated plants that have been infected by the virus can survive.
At night, which corresponds to the day, the temperature can be maintained for a short period of time after losing the exposure to sunlight.
But over time, heat quickly escapes from the unvegetated surface, and the temperature quickly drops to freezing, freezing everything that remains on the ground.
Similarly, only alien beasts or high-level zombies that have adapted to the environment can move freely on such a night, and if ordinary people dare to stay for a while, they will immediately turn into a humanoid popsicle standing in the cold night.
Previously, it was also because the time of 173 Rift was just after the end of dusk, and the temperature had not changed abnormally, so he did not freeze to death in the cold wind of the Red Moon World.
Day or night, it no longer belongs to the humans who have fallen to the throne.
In order to adapt to this terrible world, humans have moved from the ground to the ground, sheltering like rats from the scorching sun and biting winds.
Only in the early hours of the morning or dusk do the dungeon's inhabitants step out of the walls and head out into the wilderness to get the necessary food and supplies.
"Because Dad is injured, experienced hunters are reluctant to travel with him, and it took a lot of effort to form a first-order ability."
In the long, dark passageway, the girl followed 659 closely, talking about her father's situation.
This is also one of the requirements made by 659, in order for the rescue to go smoothly, he must grasp the information of Xiaoyi's father as much as possible.
"An injured second-order ability person, taking a first-order ability person to hunt in the wild, if you are careful, there should be no problem."
Bai Donggu walked at the front of the line, and when he heard the girl's statement, he also added.
"Under normal circumstances, dungeons are not open during the day and night hours, and the only people who can enter and leave during these two hours can only be heavily armed legion soldiers or high-level abilities."
"After all, it is impossible to obtain nearly seven hundred hours of supplies in just fifty hours, so at night or during the day, the soldiers of the dungeon are responsible for searching for supplies outside."
"The inhabitants of the city can trade the spoils of the soldiers of the regiment through labor or exchange, so as to achieve the purpose of subsistence."
Hearing this, 659 in the dark nodded.
"Xiaoyi's father was seriously injured in the last hunting time, that is, in the early morning, and has not yet harvested enough prey, and has exhausted the family's savings in the process of recuperation, so he plans to fight together at dusk before the night to get some supplies."
"The Almighty Soldier King of the Female President"
"That's right, because it's just me and my dad in our family, and I'm too weak to do anything, and I can't work for food."
"And Dad is injured again, although working for the dungeon can be exchanged for rations, but it is only coarse food for survival, which is not enough for those who can do it, and frequent labor is not conducive to the recovery of wounds, so Dad came up with the mentality of going to gamble......"
The girl's immature voice sounded in the passage, full of guilt.
If she was old enough and strong enough, her father wouldn't have to venture out into the wild to hunt, let alone encounter the unknowable dangers.
"Although I don't know what kind of injury Zhang Ning suffered, Xiao Yi is right, the food distributed in the dungeon is only enough for ordinary people to survive, and for those with huge energy consumption, these foods are just a drop in the bucket."
Bai Donggu stepped up two steps and added.
"Daddy...... Dad was injured by a poisonous worm...... Although he took the snake gall bladder in time afterwards, the residual toxins in his body still made my father's wound heal very slowly......"
Hearing this, Bai Donggu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, almost causing the little girl who was concentrating on telling to bump into him.
"Poisonous bugs? No wonder ......"
