Chapter 25: Departure
Liu Xu thought that after entering this assembly hall, what he saw should be a place similar to the waiting hall of the railway station.
But in fact, after entering it, I found that this is more like a clubhouse, after registering personal information at the registration office at the entrance, under the guidance of the service staff, I entered a long corridor, and on both sides of the corridor are room doors, and the interval between the doors is very long, and I can see that the room inside the door should be quite large.
The nameplate of the No. xxx preparation room was written on the outside of each door, and Liu Xu was finally brought to the door of the preparation room No. 0154.
Liu Xu pushed the door in and found that there were already three people waiting inside.
"Hello, I'm the rookie author Yi Zhou, and I'm everyone's teammate this time, who are you?" A tall, handsome man with excellent looks said.
"I am the First Heavenly King, and I am also a rookie author!" Liu Xu hurriedly said.
"Great, I've finally waited for you. You don't know, I'm the only rookie author here, and I'm so uneasy! Yi Zhou hurriedly shook hands with Liu Xu excitedly, and then began to greet him quickly.
In fact, Liu Xu didn't think that this guy would be uneasy in this room, because he quickly took Liu Xu's hand and introduced him to the other two teammates in the war preparation room, namely the second-level author Liangyu Banxia and the first-level author Jin'an Demon Immortal, and it seemed that he was already familiar with these two seniors.
Compared with Yi Zhou's initiative and enthusiasm, these two authors maintained a certain degree of coldness, and greeted Liu Xu only with a slight bow.
"Brother, do you have all the equipment?" Yi Zhou continued to say to Liu Xu enthusiastically, "I think you only seem to be carrying a small bag, this is not good, our rookie author is on the battlefield for the first time, the most important thing is not to cause trouble to your teammates." We must bring all kinds of equipment, especially all kinds of equipment for the team, to help the team solve logistics problems, we must reflect our own value. ”
"Oh, thanks, but I don't think it's going to be so much trouble!" Liu Xu refused.
"Yes! Yes! You see, in each of these combat preparation rooms, there is actually a trading market in the assembly hall, where you can buy all the equipment needed for the battle, I have done research, our team is on a mission this time, at least one drone that can facilitate the detection of the power of the world, and some shock bombs, by the way, there are also some tickets to urgently restore the power of reading, these are what we newcomers should do! Yi Zhou gushed endlessly.
"Yo, newcomer, you know it very well!" Hearing Yi Zhou's words, Liangyu Banxia next to him squinted his eyes and said.
"That's right, my brother is also a third-level author, and he taught me all about his experience back then. The most important thing for newcomers like us is to put ourselves in the right position in the team and create important value for the team, so that we can enjoy the protection of our teammates with peace of mind! Yi Zhou said sincerely.
"Yes, that's it!" Liangyu Banxia nodded with great satisfaction, and then Yi Zhou pulled Liu Xu to the trading computer in the war preparation room and said, "I have prepared the list of materials needed, they are all here, and the total value is 80,000 Canglan." Both of us are newcomers, so one bears half of the burden, and the other pays 40,000 cantons? ”
"As long as you pay, the combat readiness center will send it to us as soon as possible!" Yi Zhou saw that Liu Xu's expression had obviously become very ugly, and immediately whispered, "Brother, I know that you are definitely unwilling to pay for it." But there is only one small life, and it is the first time that we newcomers have gone to the battlefield, if we don't have these high-level authors to cover us. Don't deliberately trap you, as long as you ignore you, you will fall into a huge crisis. ”
"Although the vicissitudes are good, but the small life is more important, you won't be reluctant to give up this money!" Yi Zhoudao.
"Of course I won't give up this money!" Liu Xu said lightly, "But the problem is, I am an orphan, I grew up on the subsidy issued by the Writers' Association, I have just graduated, and all the assets on my body add up to less than 2,000 Canglan, where can I get you 40,000 Canglan?" ”
"Well, you can see it!" Yi Zhou looked at the empty backpack behind Liu Xu, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Otherwise, I will help you out this time, and then you will make money in the future, and then return the 40,000 canglan to me!" ”
"Yes!" Liu Xu immediately said, Liu Xu is also afraid of death, and what Yi Zhou said this time is quite reasonable, and in the end, he doesn't have to pay for it, isn't it beautiful.
As for the question of repaying the money in the future, if you get rich in the future, then 40,000 is nothing. But if you are still poor in the future, then there is no money!
After getting Liu Xu's promise, Yi Zhou directly placed an order on the purchasing machine and paid for it, all in one go, without blinking an eye for 80,000 canglans.
You must know that the purchasing power of this world is equivalent to about three times that of the RMB on the earth.
In other words, 80,000 Canglan is actually equivalent to about 240,000 yuan of purchasing power, and Yi Zhou spent 240,000 yuan without blinking an eye, of which 120,000 was still lent to Liu Xu, which is indeed a bit arrogant.
Even the two signed authors who were silently watching on the side looked at Yi Zhou in surprise, and there was a little smile on their originally cold faces.
A few minutes later, the staff of the assembly hall delivered the materials purchased by Yi Zhou, and at this time, there were only less than 2 minutes left before the scheduled meeting time at 6 o'clock.
"The rest of our teammates are really big, this is not enough, waiting for the punishment of the association?" Liangyu Banxia said in a strange manner, and then the door was opened, and a man who was slightly short, but with a sense of oppression all over his body, walked in.
And behind this man there are three other people, apparently the remaining three teammates.
"Now that everyone has arrived, come with me!" The imposing man spoke.
"That's it? Shouldn't we get acquainted with each other? Lay out your tactics and learn more about the mission? Liangyu Banxia couldn't help but speak.
"Time is pressing, there are at least two and a half hours to drive from here to the mission location, and there is time to say these things in the car!" The other party said expressionlessly, and then left directly, and the other three also left with him, Liangyu Banxia hesitated for a while, and followed with a sigh of relief, and at the same time said something crookedly in his mouth.
Yi Zhou and Liu Xu, the two little Mengxin, naturally had no place to speak, so they obediently followed.
For this operation, the writers' association is actually very intimately equipped with a large armed off-road vehicle, and it is also equipped with an old driver who drives a car, with various scars on his body, and obviously often shuttles to various battlefields with the contracted author team.
Soon, the off-road vehicle left the assembly hall and, after passing the gate inspection, sped away from the city and into the endless wilderness.
This is the first time Liu Xu has seen the world outside the city since he came to this world.
Or even the original Liu Xu saw the world outside the city for the first time.
After all, it is very dangerous outside the city, and there may be a reflection of the world anytime and anywhere, and occasionally there will be some wandering, and the fish that leaked through the net when cleaning up before, once encountered, ordinary people will only have a dead end.
As a result, there are few towns or villages to be seen outside the city, and it is said that the last village in the world to stubbornly adhere to the village tradition died out 120 years ago.
Of course, there are humans out there, and they all live in makeshift settlements.
Each temporary settlement is secured by a contracted writer stationed there, and the daily work of the human beings living in these temporary settlements is to exploit all kinds of resources and, most importantly, to engage in agricultural production, to satisfy the food and drink of an entire city of human beings.
The farther away from the city, the more likely you are to encounter wandering Illuminators, so when you get out of the city walls, you can see endless farmland, all of which are centered around the city.
This design is naturally convenient for a large number of contracted authors to go out to save people in the event of an attack.
After about 10 minutes of driving out, there are fewer and fewer crops and resource buildings, and instead of a barren land.
It is said that 300 years ago, these lands were towns and villages with the highest population, but as the world began to shine, they all became no-man's land.
Most of it is obscured by lush vegetation, but traces of human activity can still be seen through the vegetation.
Fortunately, the road outside has always been maintained, otherwise it would be difficult for even off-road vehicles to move at high speed in such a place.
"Okay, let me introduce myself, my pen name is Zhang Ye Yucan, a third-level author, and also your captain this time, and also the captain of the acid rain team, I haven't brought a stranger for a few years, I hope any of you are qualified to join our acid rain team!" The guy who had always been cold finally spoke.
