Chapter Twenty-Five: Conspiracy
A crackling fire ignited in the fireplace.
Lu Ze sat on the sofa and talked about what happened to him.
As I learned earlier, everyone in the class who participated in the game traveled to the apocalyptic world and was teleported to the same location.
You must know that Chen Ye had to adapt to it for a while before he accepted the fact of crossing.
After these students landed, they immediately took action and began to build safe houses according to the system's prompts.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being a young man, and his ability to accept new things is really strong!
The next words made him admire the brains of these young people even more.
"According to the rules, everyone can get a newcomer's lucky bag by building a safe house."
"But we discussed that we were going to build three safe houses first, so that even if we left the forest, we could build safe houses elsewhere."
"With Zheng Chengan, we have a total of 11 people, 8 men and 3 women."
"I took three boys, the squad leader took two girls, and Zheng Chengan took the rest of the people, and each built a safe house to ensure that everyone can have a place to live."
"After opening the lucky bag, we were going to explore deep in the forest, but it rained heavily and caused a flash flood."
"The four students who were guarding the safe house did not evacuate in time, and even the house was washed away by the flash flood."
"Zheng Chengan ran to safety with me and two male classmates, and the rest of the girls also followed the class leader to hide in other parts of the forest."
Chen Ye moved a chair and sat next to him: "What about the two male classmates?" ”
"On the way to the coastline, I was attacked by a strange beast and died."
Lu Ze clenched his fists tightly as he spoke.
His pupils shrank to a point, his eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing became rapid.
Seeing six of his best friends die in front of his eyes was too hard for him when he was still a minor.
Even if you are an adult, I am afraid that your emotions will become unstable.
Lu Zeqiang held back his sadness and continued:
"I've always been in contact with Ranran, the squad leader!"
"I also confirmed their current location this morning, and I originally wanted to go over to rendezvous."
"As a result, Zheng Chengan saw your safe house and wanted to grab it......"
As he spoke, the young man suddenly knelt on the ground with a "plop", and his tears could no longer be held back.
"Brother Ye, I know you are very powerful, a few stories tall alien beasts can't withstand my verbal attacks, but you can easily stand up!"
"Can you ...... Can you save the squad leader? ”
"The squad leader sent a message for help this morning, and if I don't go, I'm worried that their lives will be in danger......"
"We can help with things, and there are two girls who don't have a safe house, just find a vacant space on the island where you can build a house!"
Chen Ye asked in a calm tone, "You want to find your lost companion, do you know how big the forest is and how to find it?" ”
was asked like this, Lu Ze was directly stunned in place, and did not answer for a long time.
Obviously, he didn't have any clue about it.
Chen Ye sighed secretly, paced to the window, and crossed his arms to think.
Saving people is not just lip service, you need to take a certain risk, and if you don't lose your wife and lose your soldiers.
However, the two girls did not place a safe house, which made Chen Ye quite excited.
Because as the team expands, there will definitely be various functional areas in the watchtower, as well as living areas allocated to teammates.
As a result, the watchtowers need to be continuously upgraded to obtain more space.
However, as the level or quality of the safe house increases, it will become more and more difficult to upgrade it in the future, and it will take more than half a year or even a year to gather the corresponding construction resources.
But with an extra safe house, things are much easier.
Because it can be independent of Chen Ye's watchtower, a special forging workshop, a special smelting workshop, a special food storage room, and so on can be built directly around it.
The benefits are only a few more.
From the perspective of long-term interests, those three girls are worth saving!
If you can join the survival team, it will provide a great boost for future development!
Moreover, looking at Lu Ze's eager expression and tone, it seems that he has a special relationship with the squad leader.
After rescuing someone, the favorability can soar directly to level 3!
In addition, Chen Ye had originally planned to enter the forest to explore.
With a bit of luck, saving people might just be a matter of passing by.
Chen Ye secretly weighed the pros and cons, and then came to Lu Ze.
Since he wants to save people, he has to understand the situation in the depths of the forest, and he doesn't do things that he is not sure of.
"You just said that your squad leader sent a distress message, what did it say?"
When Lu Ze heard this, hope burned in his heart again.
He spoke unreservedly about the squad leader's situation and the distress message he received this morning.
After the flash flood passed, the squad leader and Zheng Chengan were separated and took two girls into an empty abandoned town by mistake.
They escaped the torrential rain in the temple in the town, and they wanted to find a way to meet Zheng Chengan the next day, but they were hit by the high temperature again.
I thought I could get through it smoothly like yesterday, but I didn't expect that many aliens with fire on their bodies walked out of the forest and directly entered the temple.
The few had nowhere to hide, but to follow the decaying staircase, ascend the round pagoda in the center of the temple, and hide in the corner at the top of the tower.
After listening to Lu Ze's narration, Chen Ye fell into doubt.
It's completely inconsistent with the conjecture at the time, but there are aliens in the ruins of the town?
Is it the natives of Terra, or the cattle and horse gamers who have been transported to other planets in the apocalyptic world like humans?
After that, I will have to go to the ruins to see it, which will be a very crucial piece of information.
"This morning, the squad leader also sent me a message."
At this time, Lu Ze revealed another important message.
"It is said that standing on the round tower, you can see the vast sea outside the forest, as well as the sea of flowers at the edge of the forest, so we will search all the way along the coastline today."
"A sea of flowers?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Ye's eyes, and then he nodded thoughtfully.
"I already know the general situation, but when to set off to save people depends on what the weather is like today."
Chen Ye quickly left the living room and went to the second floor.
After returning to the bedroom, he immediately took out the Kunyu map and found the location of the ruins of the town.
According to the real-time landscape displayed on the map, the forest leading to the ruins has been burned to a large area of charred black.
Entering the forest from here should be a no-brainer.
There are some unobscured terrain near the ruins, such as streams, mountain streams, and raised hills.
But after looking back and forth a few times, Chen Ye didn't see the so-called sea of flowers.
Is it on the other side of the map that doesn't show it?
Chen Ye slightly condensed his gaze.
[You can spend 45 survival points to strengthen Kunyu Map (Excellent)]
Upgrading the map allows you to see a wide range of terrain, but it costs more than strengthening a safe house.
Is it so outrageous?
However, in order to figure out the state of the forest and prepare for the next exploration of the forest ruins, these points had to be spent.
Anyway, he still has 195 points, and he won't increase interest if he keeps it.
Chen Ye's mind moved slightly, and a system prompt sound sounded in his mind:
【Reinforcement Success】
【Quality Improvement of Kunyu Map】
【Congratulations on getting a special item: Kunyu Map (Excellence)】
After the enhancement, the map scale has been reduced again.
The area that can be seen so far is about 325 square kilometers.
In this way, the situation in the forest is clearer and more intuitive.
It's just that he looked around and still didn't see the sea of flowers.
Directly west of the town's ruins, a road of about five kilometers leads to a clearing.
It cannot be said that it is an open space, but rather an oval white hollow.
It looks as if the map doesn't show you what that area looks like.
"Due West to ......"
Chen Ye seemed to have remembered something, and immediately took out the resource detector.
As the radar image was connected to the holographic projection, a golden pillar of light appeared due west.
The detection range of the Resource Probe Plus is three kilometers away, and the open space is exactly within the detection range.
What is hidden in an open space without any patterns?
Just when Chen Ye was puzzled, Lin Zimo knocked on the door and walked in.
"Are you sure you want to take those students in?"
"Of course!" Chen Ye said without thinking.
"A teacher with a brain problem, with ten top students who have never seen the world, has traveled to the dangerous end times."
"On the first day, we didn't do anything, but six people died, and the rest were scattered in the forest."
"If they are left to fend for themselves in the forest, they can survive for a week, and God will open their eyes!"
It's true.
"Oh, I see......"
Lin Zimo looked at Chen Ye with a complicated expression, and nodded as if he didn't understand.
Chen Ye scratched his head: "What kind of eyes are you, you don't think I fell in love with those female students, right?" ”
Lin Zimo spread his hands: "This is what you said!" ”
"Do you think I look like a bad person?"
Chen Ye put down the Kunyu map and walked in front of Lin Zimo.
Lin Zimo was half a head shorter than him, and in terms of momentum alone, he lost more than half.
She retorted weakly: "Why aren't you a bad person, when you rescued me, you also accepted my resource detector as a reward!" ”
Chen Ye chuckled lightly and took another step forward.
"If I don't want anything, I'll save you, don't you suspect that I have a bad plan against you?"
Lin Zimo was forced to take two steps back, tilting his head sideways to avoid Chen Ye's burning gaze.
"What can you do to me, everyone is ......"
But halfway through the words, her expression froze, as if she remembered something.
Then he quickly turned around and left the bedroom in a panic.
Chen Ye smiled helplessly, returned to his desk, and continued to observe the dynamically displayed landforms in the Kunyu map, looking for the so-called sea of flowers.
Soon, a cold wind set off on the island.
Chen Ye, who was standing by the window, subconsciously rubbed his hands.
I guess I won't be able to set off until tomorrow to save people.
He wanted to wait for Liu Jianguo to get the equipment ready.
With new equipment and more powerful explosive crossbows, there is more certainty.
"I just don't know what natural disasters will befall today."
Chen Ye turned around and picked up the Kunyu map on the table, and was about to retract it into the storage space.
Suddenly, I saw a thick white fog, which was rapidly coming from the southeast of the map.
