Chapter 35: This World Is So Warm
The days in the base passed quickly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, Jiang Bei has never had the opportunity to meet his other teammates, and everyone's free time is basically not right, even Zhao Tianran and Ah Gou are not very in the dormitory.
A dog is haunted all day long, and people don't know where they are.
Zhao Tianran found a part-time job to organize archives, that is, to sort out the copy files of records in the archives of the Information Integration Department, and he could also flip through those files when he had nothing to do, which was regarded as studying.
Jiang Bei has carried several corpses these days, and half of them are team members who are ranked within a thousand.
He felt strange and asked Liu Yan why so many top-ranked team members committed suicide. Bai Jiuri once said that the higher the team, the more cruel the things they will face, but the greater the psychological endurance, and they will never end their lives easily.
But now it seems that these people are not so strong-willed.
Liu Yan only replied meaningfully: "Being in a dungeon is different from being in the base, they will try their best to survive in the dungeon, but it is not necessary to return to the base, you will understand after a while." β
Jiang Bei didn't quite understand this sentence, could it be that he was more desperate and pessimistic in the base than in the dungeon?
But in his opinion, this is not the case, people have been actively cleaning up the surrounding dungeons to expand the base area, and with the expansion of the base area, the frequency of sudden dungeons has become less and less over the years.
Some people speculate that not the whole world is shrouded in dungeons, and if you keep expanding the base area, you may be able to find a pure land without the haze of dungeons.
In short, things are moving in a good direction.
The corpse collection team didn't send him a job today, so Jiangbian looked out the window in the dormitory idlely. A few days ago, he went back to the school to visit the teacher, and learned from the teacher that Chen Ersan had followed the team into the dungeonβjust a few days after he entered the humanoid dungeon.
It's been almost twenty days since they entered the dungeon, and they haven't come out yet, so they may all be dead.
Jiang Bei couldn't help but recall the group photo he saw at the teacher's house, and now that he thinks about it, it really looks like a big posthumous photo.
He was thinking about it when suddenly a snowflake came and stuck to the window, and when he looked up, it was snowing.
The snow was heavy and did not stop until the afternoon of the next day. When the sky cleared, the snow outside had not reached the calves, so the base asked them to clear the snow in different areas.
Coincidentally, Jiang Bei's team happened to be assigned to the vicinity of the sudden copy in the central area.
It wasn't until today that their team got together, Zhao Ziyang stood in the white snow with a broom in his hand, and introduced the other five teammates to Jiang Bei, Zhao Tianran, and Ah Gou.
"It's summer, veterans. She is the fastest in our team, and she has thought of the solutions for several copies. β
Jiang Bei looked at Xia who was being introduced by Zhao Ziyang, this was a short-haired woman with hair up to her chin, not much older than herself. At this time, she was smiling and nodding at them, very gently.
Then Zhao Ziyang walked up to a young man who looked more energetic: "This is a statement, and people are very enthusiastic. If you need help, you can contact him. β
After introducing these two people, he made a concise introduction to the remaining two men and one woman, these three people are named Wu Mingming, Tang Liancheng and Xu Xiaoyu.
Everyone was very friendly to Jiang Bei and the three of them, and they were also a little curious.
"I've heard before that there are two students who have cleared two surprise dungeons in a row as soon as they graduated, so I was a little curious about what these two students would be like, but I didn't expect you to be assigned to our team. I've been working on the West Side for the past few days and haven't had time to come back, but I'm finally seeing you today. The presentation was indeed enthusiastic, and he began to talk to them with a broomstick.
"It's really cold, everyone hurry up and work early, finish this snow and go back early, go back to find a warm place and talk again." Zhao Ziyang had already carried a broom to sweep the snow, and the early morning in February was very cold, and he was spitting white air when he spoke.
Not far away was the sudden copy left two years ago, and Jiang Bei specially ran farther before starting to clear the snow.
He saw a figure swaying in the sentry posts with the copy attached, it was the person on duty there today, and there seemed to be a familiar figure inside.
"The former liaison tower of our base was built in this location, and it is all dependent on this tower to communicate with the Flame Base in the south. It's a pity that this place was swallowed by the sudden dungeon later, and we can't get in touch with that side anymore. Seeing that Jiang Bei had been staring at the copy, he said to him.
It turns out that the former liaison tower was in this location......
Zhao Ziyang continued: "During this time, I heard that the base is planning to send a second group of people in, and it is said that people will be selected from the death squad, and I don't know which team will be selected. β
"Ahem" Jiang Bei was listening to Zhao Ziyang when he heard a cough sound from the other side.
Turning her head, it was Zhao Tianran who was covering her mouth and coughing, and she was wearing a hand-sewn pink plush hat on her head, the style was like a ** hat, and the stitches were a little rough, Jiang Bei guessed that her father sewed it for her.
Recently, the weather has been very cold, and many people have caught a cold.
"Are you alright, why don't you go back and rest?" Jiang Bei heard that she was coughing very badly, and thought to himself, don't die of illness, he doesn't want to collect the corpses of his teammates.
Zhao Tianran waved his hand: "It's okay, it will be fine next time you enter the dungeon." He coughed a few more times.
is so sick that in Jiang Bei's eyes, Zhao Tianran has almost become a walking hundred resource points.
"I just want to make more money while I'm still alive," Zhao Tianran smiled at him reluctantly, "I don't know how many copies I can live again, so I want to make more money to stay while I'm still alive, if I die, my dad will have no other relatives, and it's very difficult to live alone when I'm old." β
Zhao Tianran's worries are not unreasonable.
No one can guarantee that he will live forever, not even Jiang Bei can't guarantee that he will always live. In case eight hundred ghosts come up at once in the dungeon, one ghost can drown him with a mouthful of spit.
"It's okay," he began to comfort Zhao Tianran as a spiritual master, "Our next dungeon is a normal difficulty dungeon, and it is estimated that it will take more than a month before we are assigned a new task, so you can live for at least two more months." β
Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Tianran's face became even more reluctant.
Not far away, another group of people was clearing the snow, and the other side was more cheerful than the gloomy atmosphere on the other side.
There was a couple over there who were playing softly while clearing the snow, and the boy played with a snowball and smashed it on the girl, and the girl immediately made a snowball and smashed it back.
However, the accuracy was not very good, and the snowball grazed the boy and smashed into Jiang Bei's head.
This world is so warm, and there is such a sense of participation in watching people fall in love.
Seeing the snowball hit Jiang Bei's head, the girl was also stunned and hurriedly wanted to run over to apologize.
But she stopped just two steps, the expression on her face changed from sorry to fear, and her eyes were wide and staring at Jiang Bei's back.
Jiang Bei turned around with a sense of it, and saw a huge black mist coming towards him and devouring Zhao Tianran, and then he also fell into boundless darkness.
There was silence in the square for a moment, and then a cacophony of voices rang out.
"What's going on? I didn't dream, right, this is a copy that hasn't been touched in two years, expanded? β
"You didn't dream, and you swallowed me half a meter away!"
"Alert the command center! Did any of you see which people were pulled in? β
"It's strange that this copy is expanding in one direction, and there are six sentry posts around it, and only one is swallowed, and a few snow sweepers are swallowed, it seems to be the ...... of Team 1331."
