I run a safe house in the apocalypse
Chapter 1 Safe House (1)
At night, a small house stood on the moor, brightly lit.
Inside, a tall young man stood in front of the window, carrying a watering can, watering the POTS of flowers placed on the windowsill, and lazily humming songs in his mouth.
The soft-haired golden retriever had nothing to do, shuffled up to his feet, sat down squarely, rubbed his head against his calf, and swung his tail back and forth.
The young man's eyelids drooped slightly, glancing down at it, her meager lips raised, and her narrow phoenix eyes flashed a smile.
That picturesque face added some warmth, and looked very intimate.
"Why, bored?" The young man spoke with a warm and pleasant voice.
As soon as he put the watering can down, his slender, good-looking hand covered the big golden hair's head and rubbed it up.
The young man faced the thick ink-like night outside the window.
The light from the house shines out the window, creating a small bright space on the grass outside.
And in the distant night something seemed to be moving, approaching fast.
The young man did not lift his head, as if he had not noticed anything, and only rubbed the dog's head while softly saying to himself: "It seems that he has been a little bored lately."
The words fell, and what had jumped out of the night finally entered the light outside the window.
There was a loud bang --
A face pressed against the glass window, the whole window sent a tremor!
The young man paused and looked up.
The faces glued to the glass Windows are close at hand.
The man's eyes were wide and bloodshot.
His hair was glued to his forehead by sweat, and his face was almost bloodless from his panic and frantic flight.
His mouth was wide open, he was panting desperately, and his pupils were quivering as he stared at the young man in the room.
It was a very strange thing to meet such a calm, clean and beautiful young man in such a place and at such a time, and the look in his eyes even seemed to suggest that he was hallucinating.
But then he rolled his eyes and glanced dully towards the door of the other room, as if he had at last found the rope to save him, and suddenly his face lit up.
But the moment he stretched out his arm in the direction of the door.
A huge claw, large enough to cover the size of an entire man, came noiselessly from behind!
Thick blood splashed on the Windows.
The last second of the living, at this moment has been squeezed completely deformed, like a skin attached to the window, face still with the last moment of reluctance and despair, slowly sliding down.
And the young man, that is, Xia Jing, smiled and looked impassively at the dirty human blood on the window.
Outside in the darkness, the giant beast stood quietly.
As if sensing something, Golden Retriever stood up uneasily, tilted his head, and after thinking, cautiously took a step back.
A pair of giant animal eyes appeared quietly beyond the small glass window, peering in.
One eye of the giant was half the size of a man.
He prostrated himself outside the window, staring at the summer view inside.
The sharp, one-meter long teeth of the animal almost close to the window, it seems that only need a slight force, the fragile glass can be broken by it in an instant, and the young man inside the house can easily be bitten in half.
The appetite seemed to have produced countless fantasies, and saliva trickled down the corners of his mouth.
Its claws grab the ground under its feet, but just as it opens its mouth and lets out a cloud of hot air, it wants to act out its imagination.
The young man in the room gently raised his eyes from the blood and stared directly at it.
The beast stood still.
In the young man's beautiful phoenix eyes, there is no emotion at all.
The rest, only cold, cold like a million years of ice, ice as if the whole wilderness has frozen up.
...
...
The giant's eyes disappeared out the window.
With the heavy footsteps, the beast turned and slowly walked back into the darkness...
The golden retriever swallowed and looked at the summer scene.
The scenery outside the window began to change.
The wilderness is gone, replaced by the summer rain forest, and the distant screams can be heard faintly.
Then the rain forest also disappeared, and the window appeared next to a rock wall, and I did not know if I had come to some mysterious grotto.
Then the stone walls disappeared, and there was desert, snow, the surface of the moon, a maze of green walls...
This house begins its daily journey through a treacherous world.
When it stopped again, Xia Jing picked up a rag, opened the door without expression, walked outside and began to wipe the glass unpleasantly.
The mood is obviously very unbeautiful.
Golden hair lying on the spot, watching Xia Jing unhappy cleaning, tail again "patter patter" swung up, like in a snigger.
This time, they stopped in an interior hallway, the door of which was set directly into the hallway wall.
Xia Jing wiped not for a while, not far away came a messy footsteps, a pair of men and women appeared in the corridor corner.
They looked back frequently and ran as fast as they could.
When they looked back and suddenly saw Xia Jing, they were so scared that they screamed and suddenly stopped their feet.
The man was about 5 '9 ", very large, like a small hill, and the woman was hiding behind him, both of them panting and unsure.
The woman stared blankly at Xia Jing and said, "Ah, you... Are you With us?"
The man immediately stepped back warily: "No, I don't remember this fellow being among the first group of people who came into this place with us!"
The woman became dull and her face turned white. "Is that a monster again?"
The man swore an expletive, and as they were in a dilemma, not knowing where to escape, they noticed that line after line of words began to appear on the white wall beside them.
"Four double rooms available today!"
"You can stay in the safe house for 24 hours per person by paying 100 energy density + 200g monster blocks!"
"Scan completed, you have the standard monster body block, if you decide to stay, please think about what you plan to pay for!"
The man and woman were stunned, not sure what was going on.
And Xia Jing will finally wipe all the blood finished.
He turned to his side and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The arrival of a new visitor revived his mood, which had been soured by dirt and blood.
"Welcome to the safe House. This is the chaotic realm between copies, where monsters cannot enter without permission. It is the absolute safe place."
"If you want to enter the safe house," Xia Jing smiled elegantly, "please pay accordingly."
Li Jianqiang and Zhang Xue are a couple.
Two people follow Xia Jing into the safe house, still doubtful.
They had two dragon horns in their pockets, which they had picked up with the "old players" during their near-death escapes after breaking into this horrible place - and the only pieces of monster body they carried with them - which they had not expected to come in handy at this time.
Xia Jing took two people to the front desk.
A small electronic scale stands on the front desk.
The dragon's horn, which had just disappeared from their pockets through meditation, was lying quietly on the front desk.
Xia Jing was in a good mood at the moment, picked up a dragon horn and put it on the scale, and said in a warm voice: "A dragon horn is just 100 energy density, 202g, one dragon horn for each person, and you can rest in the safe house for 24 hours."
Li Jianqiang and Zhang Xue stared at the electronic scale, which was obviously not a human product, and didn't know what to ask first.
Or Li Jianqiang spoke first, he looked out of the window warily: "Monsters really can't get in here?"
As soon as he said that, the corridor outside the window disappeared, and they seemed to come to the bottom of the sea in an instant, and a school of fish swarmed out of the window... You've swam before?
Li Jianqiang was stunned.
"As soon as the door of the safe house is closed, it will begin to drift erratically, but rest assured that when you leave, it will automatically return you to your copy." Xia Jing quite satisfied with the two dragon horns put up.
Turning to the topic, he said with a smile: "If you still have more monster blocks that meet the standard, you can upgrade the room type, or extend the rest period, here is the menu, you can consider it."
Long fingers opened a menu and clicked on it.
Zhang Xue subconsciously scanned her eyes.
Li Jianqiang frowned.
The menu lists how many grams of energy density monster blocks can be paid for what room type, what package, how many hours can be stayed in total...
However, the fact is that he and Zhang Xue are entering this scary world for the first time, and even many rules are not clear, let alone the extra monster body pieces.
Had not Zhang Xue just had a flash of inspiration, followed the "old player" to pick up the dragon horns that fell off after the death of two monsters, at this time they could not even enter this so-called safe house...
In fact, Li Jianqiang does not care about any upgrade package.
He watched with his own eyes the grotesque monsters pasted on the Windows, and before his mind could lift, the view changed again, and it was clear that the room was drifting toward the other copies.
He swallowed and finally recovered from his sixteen hours of escape.
Then his eyes burst with anger.
He asked Xia Jing coldly, "What is this place? Are you a human being or a monster?"
Xia Jing finished the account, heard this question, smiled gently, raised his eyes and asked:
"What do you think I am?"
The young man was really beautiful, and this smile made people's hearts flutter, and also made Li Jianqiang and Zhang Xue's hearts jump.
Li Jianqiang recovered his mind, waved his arm, swept the menu down, grabbed Xia Jing's collar across the front desk, and said with gnashed teeth: "Don't give me a mystery, you are a human being?" ! Come to think of it, a monster can't look like you. Are you one of the staff of this place?"
Zhang Xue was scared to jump, hurriedly to stop Li Jianqiang.
However, she looked at the eyes of Xia Jing is also full of fear.
This is all so weird.
They were just out shopping on an ordinary holiday, met a car accident, did not expect to be confused into this is called the "replica game" place, surrounded by a gang of monsters.
Is this some kind of hidden human experiment?
Or was it created by aliens?
They have no idea what's going on, and they don't want to "rest," they just want to get out of this place right now!
This young man was, so far, the only seemingly harmless person they had met who was willing to talk to them...
Zhang Xue's voice trembled: "Please, if you are an employee of this place, please, let your boss let us go, OK? We will never call the police, just let us go..."
Xia Jing, wearing a white shirt, looks like a gentle gentleman.
Li Jianqiang savagely grabbed the collar and shook it, but there was no ripple on his face.
He reached up and clasped Li Jianqiang's wrist.
The thin and beautiful five fingers looked weak and powerless, and Li Jianqiang simply ignored them.
But the next moment he gave a cry of pain, threw away his hand, protected his wrist, and took two steps backward, his heart beating wildly and his face stunned.
... The young man's strength was so great that at that moment he even felt that his wrist would be wrenched!
Xia Jing stood firm and straightened his collar without changing his face. He did not feel angry because of Li Jianqiang's move. Naturally, he was not afraid or even impatient.
He just raised his eyes and said with a half smile, "Boss? That doesn't exist in this place."
Li Jianqiang and Zhang Xue one leng.
Zhang Xue said urgently: "But, but you this safe house..."
Xia Jing said softly, "The moment I woke up, I was here, and the safe house was already here."
Xia Jing is good-natured most of the time and doesn't get angry easily.
He said, almost gently, "So I'm sorry, your problem is also my problem. I don't have any answers for you."
Li Jianqiang and Zhang Xue also want to ask what, Xia Jing has continued to say.
"By the way," he said briskly, "remember the rules of the safe house."
He pointed to a clock hanging on the wall behind him.
"First, please watch your time. If you do not plan to renew, please remember to try not to delay until the full 24 hours, because by then the safe house will force you out, and you may face many unexpected situations."
"If you want to leave the safe room early, you can approach the door and the safe room will return to the copy you belong to, and you can observe the situation outside and decide when to leave."
"Second, the small supermarket in the safe house offers a number of small items, which can be purchased if needed, and the exchange is still monster pieces."
"Third," Xia Jing said with a smile, "no violence or filth in the safe house, because I don't like it."
Li Jianqiang and Zhang Xue one by one.
Xia Jing has walked out of the front desk, rolled up his sleeves, and asked naturally, "Are you hungry?" What would you like to eat? Three meals per person in 24 hours. Your room is the first one on the left. You can open the door and go in. If you don't want to eat, you can go back to your room and rest."
Li Jianqiang opened his mouth, can be Xia Jing attitude made do not know how to continue to ask.
Finally, he said darkly, "I have no appetite."
Zhang Xue was silent for a moment, compromised in general, and exhausted: "... I, I want to eat a bowl of noodles, any noodles."
Xia Jing took one look at her and smiled, "OK, please wait a moment."
...
When the summer scenery disappeared in the kitchen entrance, Li Jianqiang sneered: "You still have an appetite to eat?"
Zhang Xue slumped on the sofa and said in a muffled voice, "... Who knows if it's the last meal."
Li Jianqiang's face changed and cursed: "Say less bad luck!"
He looked warily around the safe house.
This safe house is roughly 200 square meters.
This place at the entrance was a small parlour; on the left of the front passage was the kitchen; on the right was what seemed to be the so-called little market; and further on were four rooms.
The whole safe room is neat and clean, the flowers and plants beside the window, the two goldfish in the small goldfish bowl, and the golden retriever sitting in the corner, flicking his tail innocently watching them... Everything is full of life.
A sense of security, a sense of life.
Li Jianqiang turned again and looked out of the window.
I don't know which copy it is outside the window.
A group of players saw the safe house, and several of them, apparently old players, knew of the existence of the "safe house" and led the way to rush over in ecstasies.
But the next second, the ground under their feet cracks, and inside the cracks are rows of fine teeth.
It was the mouth of a monster...
The players all fell into the cracked mouth, the scenery outside the window changed again, and Li Jianqiang has been out of a cold sweat.
The contrast between the warmth of the safe house and the living hell outside is ironic.
Li Jianqiang couldn't sit still for a moment at the thought of returning to that copy 24 hours later.
He went to look in the small market.
In the small supermarket, there are rows of display shelves, dazzling things.
On the shelves hung and placed all kinds of grotesque monster body pieces and props.
Teeth, scythes, eyeballs, even bloody monster hearts...
Li Jianqiang resisted discomfort and took a closer look, with a small price tag hanging under each prop, writing how many grams of monster body blocks with energy density were needed to be exchanged.
The color of his eyes changed, and he tried to reach directly for the props on the shelf, but he couldn't get them down.
There was no exchange, and the props seemed to be stuck to the shelves.
Li Jianqiang's heart was beating fast. He tried to take something by force, but he heard a sudden chuckle behind him and almost jumped up.
Turning around suddenly, he saw Xia Jing's thin silhouette flash by outside the supermarket.
Li Jianqiang swallowed, clenched his fist, clenched his teeth secretly, and walked out of the small supermarket.
...
Zhang Xue seems to have given up asking what summer scenery.
She had been consumed by fear and exhaustion, and after eating the noodles she went back to her room to rest.
And Li Jianqiang gently went outside for a circle, came back and said: "That guy is definitely an employee of the boss behind this place!" I just went to the kitchen and there's nothing there, what you're eating must have been sent from somewhere else!"
Zhang Xue got up and listened to him.
Sixteen hours of high-pressure escape, Li Jianqiang's mental state is like a broken string.
He paced up and down the room, saying quickly, "This is definitely a man-made factory, it's all man-made! As long as it is man-made, there must be a solution!"
Zhang Xue asked hesitantly, "What are you going to do?"
Li Jianqiang's eyes were red. "... I'm gonna tie that guy up! Even if we can't live without this copy, we can still hide in this safe house!"
Zhang Xue opened her mouth and whispered, "But you heard him say that when the time is up, this room will automatically kick us out."
Li Jianqiang: "As long as we control him in our hands, his life is not safe, do you think this house still dares to expel us?" ! Ha, and those props, the dog can not take down, as long as the little white face control in the hand, what things here we can not use? "
Zhang Xue think Li Jianqiang has been completely crazy.
She was almost crazy, but Xia Jing's calm gave her a breath and room to think.
Zhang Xue tried to persuade him: "I always feel that the rules in this room are not so simple... And you can't handle him, can you?"
Li Jianqiang angrily said, "Of course not by myself, what do you think I came to discuss with you?" "
Zhang Xue stepped back: "I think we'd better not force against the store manager..."
Li Jianqiang stared straight at him: "He is not a monster, what are you afraid of him?" He's just a little stronger!"
Zhang Xue shook his head and said silently, "This place is not a normal world at all, and it is impossible to infer with common sense, I just thought carefully, the store manager, he may not be a monster, but it is also very likely not a person..."
Li Jianqiang has lost the ability to think, he only felt that every word he said was being refuted by Zhang Xue, every idea was being denied by Zhang Xue, irritability, anger and fear mixed together, so that he lost his reason.
He grabbed Zhang Xue's arm and said fiercely, "You always hide behind me and ask me to protect you when you encounter anything, and now I want you to help me, is this how you treat me?" "
Li Jianqiang's brute strength made Zhang Xue shocked, and she couldn't believe it: "How can you say that?" I'm not as strong as you, but I've done a lot along the way. If it wasn't for me, you'd have died with those people in the first place... We wouldn't be able to get in here right now without me!"
Li Jianqiang angrily laughed back: "So I can survive thanks to you?" "
"I, I don't mean that, I just want to say that the two of us can come to this step, not by you alone," Zhang Xue began to feel afraid, "you let me go, are you crazy?"
"I am mad! You are still in the mood to eat noodles, but I can't eat anything!" Li Jianqiang suddenly brought her up, coldly questioned, "Do you see that little white face looks good, think he must be a good person?"
'I didn't think so! Zhang Xue struggled, screaming, "You forget, this place can't use violence!"
This sentence thoroughly stimulated Li Jianqiang, he a slap in the past, Zhang Xue directly fan down on the bed, ferocious: "You take the rules of the little white face to intimidate me -"
The last sound also fell, an invisible force will Li Jianqiang suddenly sucked out of the double room door.
Zhang Xue was so dizzy by the slap that she could only hear Li Jianqiang's terrified howl in her ears.
Startled, she tossed her head, got out of bed and stumbled out.
At some point, the safe house had returned to the copy they belonged to, the corridor they knew.
The door was open, and Li Jianqiang, with his back to the outside, was thrown out like a piece of garbage.
Straight to the two-metre-tall humanoid monster with the giant dragon head that stood outside the door of the safe house searching for its prey. They had survived several deaths from their own kind.
Zhang Xue stayed in place, her pupils tightened sharply.
The humanoid monster outside heard the noise, turned his head, and stared at Li Jianqiang as he flew toward it.
He seemed to think for a second, surprised that his prey had fallen from the sky.
And then --
His eyes narrowed with laughter, his big mouth suddenly opened, and the corners of his mouth split to his temples.
"Ro-la-la", as the sound of the bones being chewed rang out, Li Jianqiang's frightened expression froze on his face.
His feet were off the ground, there was a row of teeth in his neck, and his head was limp to one side.
The red blood fell to the ground one by one.
Zhang Xue's legs softened and she fell to her knees.
She covered her mouth and widened her eyes.
The monster outside the safe house will Li Jianqiang spit out from his mouth, the cold sight across the safe house living room and corridor, greedy bet on her body.
Zhang Xue could not make a sound, trembling all over, tears constantly gushing out, as if under the immobilization of the general, can not move.
The lights are out in the living room of the safe house.
Soft footsteps came from the corner on the right.
The tall, handsome young man came into the drawing-room and stood in the shadows.
Zhang Xue could not see his face clearly.
I could just feel him looking out.
Then the young man's gentle voice rang out in the darkness.
"Are you leaving with him?"
A very common question.
Zhang Xue shivered all over, as if falling into an ice cellar.
She shook her head vigorously.
She covered her mouth, sat down on the ground, moved back desperately, and shook her head repeatedly.
"Well, Tuanzi," the young man said gently, not seeming to have any more ideas, "close the door."
Golden Retriever answered, walked to the door, looked up at the blood-spattered creature outside, and lifted his paw.
"Bang."
The gate separates Zhang Xue from the monster's sight.
Safe house, dark and quiet again.
The author has something to say:
Let Xia Xia show you a picture first
Because it is infinite stream text, it is still based on the copy, and the next chapter Xia Xia will play with the copy.
Love you guys!
Chapter 2 Safe House (2)
This is the City of Terror, because of its unique logo ":)", also known as the Smiley city by countless players, is a special space hidden in the real world.
There are many new players every day, and countless new copies of the game appear every day, and the copies are full of killing.
Safe house, moving from copy to copy.
It's been 20 hours since Zhang Xue and Li Jianqiang entered the safe house.
Xia Jing holding Tuanzi sitting on the sofa, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window, suddenly heard a slight "click" door sound.
He turned back.
Zhang Xue touched his sight and subconsciously avoided it, as if she were afraid.
The scene of Li Jianqiang's death is lingering in Zhang Xue's head, and the young man's attitude like seeing an ant being crushed to death also makes her feel cold from the bottom of her heart.
Xia Jing did not take her attitude seriously, only smiled and said, "Good morning."
Zhang Xue shivered.
No matter how gentle the voice was, it could not give her any comfort at the moment.
She just avoided Xia Jing's sight and said hoarsely, "... I, I have a monster's eye on me, and I want to see... I wonder if I can buy some props with it."
Xia Jing's smile widened.
"Please feel free to use the scale at the front desk," he said briskly.
Xia Jing smile let Zhang Xue deeper buried the head.
... The monster's eye, she picked it up when she was picking up the dragon's horn.
At that time, she didn't know why the old players picked up these disgusting monster body pieces, just thought that in case, maybe useful... And the existence of monster eyes, she is indeed deliberately hidden from Li Jianqiang.
Li Jianqiang is too impulsive and too thoughtless, and the less he knows, the less accidents are likely to happen.
Of course, Zhang Xue had to admit that in the 16 hours before that was not long or short, she had thought that with Li Jianqiang's character, she would be forced to get along with him by the strong demands of her family outside, but to this critical moment of life and death... She still has to give herself some wiggle room.
Biting her lip, Zhang Xue took the wet monster eyes out of her pants pocket and carefully placed them on the electronic scale.
Soon, the small screen of the electronic scale said "200 energy density 100 grams."
Zhang Xue took back the monster eyes, fixed his mind, and turned to go to the small supermarket.
A moment later, she came out empty-handed.
Different from the props obtained in the copy and the game hall, the props "bought" in the safe house supermarket will be displayed directly on the player's body in the form of small ICONS, and the props will appear in the player's hands and the use method will automatically appear in the player's mind.
On Zhang Xue's wrist, there is a small symbol of a sickle.
She nodded to Xia Jing and cautiously approached the door of the safe house.
The scene outside the safe house turned, and I was instantly back in the middle of the familiar corridor.
Xia Jing leaned on the sofa, his elbow against the armrest, his palm supporting his chin, looking at the woman who had just entered the smiling city for a short time, and was already skilled in spying outside with a guarded posture.
After waiting for a whole minute, there was no movement outside. Zhang Xue took a deep breath, resolutely called the sickle into her hand, opened the door and walked out.
The next second, the safe house is out of here, drifting to the next copy.
Xia Jing chuckled, withdrew his eyes, and ran his slender fingers along Tuanzi's hair: "It's really interesting, right?"
All kinds of people, all kinds of personalities, changing weird copies and monsters.
Tuanzi comfortably raised his small head, against Xia Jing's palm, as if to ask him to touch its small head more.
"Unfortunately, to enjoy the game from start to finish like they do, you still have to log in a copy from the game hall." Xia Jing said to himself.
And he only gets to control the safe house's drift once a week.
Thinking of this, Xia Jing got up, walked to the door, raised his hand and stroked a crack in the door frame.
The safe house can't be damaged from the outside, but it can be damaged from the inside.
Li Jianqiang's size is too big, was forced out of the safe house all the way out, directly knocked the door frame out of the crack.
Xia Jing spread out his fingers in the void, and a dragon's horn appeared in his palm.
As if playing a musical instrument or drawing a silk thread, Xia Jing grabbed the monster's energy in the dragon horn in the palm of his hand, and the dragon horn instantly turned gray, falling and drifting like powder.
Xia Jing with that group of energy, caressed the door frame on the crack.
All of a sudden, the cracks are gone.
And that's how much a dragon's horn costs.
The dough sticks to Xia Jing's feet like a tail. Xia Jing bends his elbow to his chin and mumbles, "One dragon horn was used to make the bowl of noodles, the other dragon horn was used to repair the crack, and now only the newly recorded eye and the other four body parts are left..."
The stock is in short supply.
Xia Jing eyes turned, to the tuanzi smile curved eyes.
"Well, it's Monday at the game Hall."
That is, when he can control the safe house.
He can go out and gather supplies
By the way, playing a game.
*
Smiley City Game Hall, Monday.
The game hall is like a huge square, and the whole space is elliptical.
There is a large holographic screen in the center of the front, and the top of the holographic screen is like the countdown calendar of the college entrance examination hanging in the third grade classroom, showing the --
It has been running for 235 days, 3232 online players, 13 updated copies today, 981 historical copies.
The last three numbers change in real time.
Under this row of text, the holographic screen is divided into left and right sides of the content, the left is the system bulletin board, the right is the player bulletin board.
At this moment, few players are hovering in front of the holographic screen.
In the days when player rankings were not updated, most players had little interest in this holographic screen.
Some of them gathered in the official supermarket on the right corner of the game hall to collect supplies with points.
Those with space bags put their weapons in space bags, while those without space bags simply carried them roughly in their hands.
Some players scattered around the game hall in front of a circle of public login rooms, doing the final psychological work before logging in copies.
All players who are forced to inhale a copy of Smiley City must do so once a week, or when the deadline expires, Smiley City will inhale any copy of the player at will.
Probably a relatively simple one - or two-star copy.
Of course, it could also be a three - or even four-star copy that the average gamer simply can't afford.
For the sake of their own lives, most players will not be with the Smiley City rules of the game.
There is a narrow, winding corridor diagonally opposite the official supermarket in the game hall.
This narrow corridor is like a bug left by an unqualified designer, many players have been curious to drill into the corridor to explore, and finally came to the conclusion that this is a corridor without anything, to the end, is a wall.
Maybe one day Smiley City will get over it and fill out this meaningless corridor.
And now, in the unknown corner, the wall at the end of the corridor had quietly become a door.
Inside the door.
Xia Jing is making final preparations before departure.
As the owner of the safe house, he naturally doesn't have to pay anything when he gets props.
But Xia Jing never wastes the monster items he has so painstakingly collected - these are good things to exchange for high energy density monster blocks.
He only took a monster faceless woman's skin mask off the shelf, the back of the neck near the right ear, a small face sign appeared.
The faceless woman's skin mask needs to be activated.
Xia Jing took a piece of paper and drew a rather scrawled face on the paper.
Tuanzi looked at the frown.
Xia Jing unmoved, a face normally summoned out of the human skin mask, will draw the face of the paper to feed it.
Masks "click click" chew the paper, after the swallow, that in addition to the mouth without any facial features of the face, then gradually emerge out of the specific features.
Xia Jing will human skin mask back to the neck of the small sign, then mind a turn -
What had been a beautiful and beautiful face turned into an ordinary face.
He looked like he was in his early 20s, with a big face like a ball of hair, small inverted triangular single eyelids, a collapsed nose bridge, and thick, cracked and rough lips, and features that seemed to have been modified by some strange filter, hardly like normal human beings could grow out.
And a soft fine broken black hair, has become a few blind Xia Jing himself painted hedgehog flat head.
Tuanzi could not bear to look straight on the ground and covered his face with his PAWS - correction, this is not "ordinary" at all.
If it were not afraid of Xia Jing and waste monster body block to treat it, Tuanzi would like to show a dog claw from digging eyes on the spot.
Xia Jing laughed out of the sound, that clear pleasant voice, also became hoarse rough.
Xia Jing put the machete, rope, pliers, dagger into the space bag, and then put the small space bag like a sachet into the pants pocket.
These are all things he bought at the game hall with the points he earned through the copies.
Xia Jing is ready to finish, squinting with a smile, with this face does not match the beautiful thin fingers hook up the chin, said: "Well, it is better to watch the house here ah."
Tuanzi "roar" called, disgust to shake the tail, twist the beginning, squint with resentful eyes to show that it was hurt by this face.
Xia Jing laughed, straightened up, and said in a good mood: "I went out -"
"I'll be back sooner."
With one last bright smile, and these words, which did not convince the dog at all, the young man opened the door and walked out.
...
The young man who emerged from the narrow corridor did not attract anyone's attention.
Although the young man has a full height of 1.8 meters, the figure is good like a model, but that face is really not attracting any eyes.
After seven days... No, more than seven days.
The time in the safe room mostly follows the copy, and the copy's day may only correspond to an hour in the game hall.
So, Xia Jing's been in the safe house for more than seven days.
When he finally reached the hall again, he took a deep breath of air, and the black pupils of his little eyes were gleaming.
Humming softly, Xia Jing squinted and smiled, and walked straight toward the login room.
There are currently more than 100 public login rooms in the game hall, which automatically increase or decrease according to the number of online players.
There are many scattered players standing in front of the unmanned login room, hesitate to enter.
There are also many rooms with green lights, meaning "there are people".
Suddenly, some of the rooms were opened from the inside, and the people who came out were either covered in blood, pale and sweaty, or relatively calm and did not change their color.
Seeing these people, those players who have not logged in are also looking constantly changing.
Some don't want to hesitate any more, clench their fists and "bang" open the login room and walk in.
Some directly collapsed, squatted down with their heads in their hands, and kept chanting "Amitabha Buddha".
In extreme contrast to these people, Hakyong hardly stopped before the log-in room with the red light showing no one, opened the door and walked in.
His fleeting silhouette attracted a lot of meaningful attention.
As the tiny door closes, the only display in the sign-in room, an ATM-like machine, lights up its screen.
On the screen, in small boxes, there are various copies, sixteen copies per page, sixty-two pages in all.
Copies are arranged in order of difficulty from lowest to highest.
Xia Jing saw the copy, like a thirsty desert traveler drinking water, the whole face lit up.
After standing, he went straight to the last page with interest, and then raised his eyebrows.
-- Not too surprising.
There are still no four-star copies today.
At the end of page 62, the last copy is still a Samsung copy.
Xia Jing mused, turned forward, most of the Samsung copy, at this time the upper right corner of the small box painting, are showing "0", that is, at this time there is no player login to this copy of the meaning.
Two points are automatically deducted when the player enters the log-in room, and entering the log-in room does not necessarily mean that the copy game can be started.
Once the player selects a copy that is currently unoccupied, but waits three hours and the number of people required for that copy is not met, the copy will automatically spit the player out.
Those two points, they're wasted.
Many new players themselves do not have many points, in the case of not fully understanding the rules in the login room will waste all the points, they lost the opportunity to choose a copy.
At the end of the seven days, Smiley City will automatically inhale them into any copy, life or death.
Xia Jing will not dry head iron into the matter of no one copy, it is just a pure waste of time.
He thought about it and called out the player hologram small screen he had bought with points.
The small holographic screen was displayed in front of him, and Xia Jing clicked into the forum and saw dense posts.
"Bite your teeth or buy the holographic small screen, and now there are only ten points left, are there any big guys willing to bring new people to earn points ah QAQ"
"Would someone like to talk about some four-star copies that were opened earlier?" [1][2][3][4]
"That one-eyed douchebag from that copy of" Death to Mankind "at 4 p.m. yesterday, you have the fucking ability to steal my way to the game hall to fight me! [1] [2]"
"What kind of existence is that secret safe house? Is there a big guy to help the new people learn science?"
"New person asks, has anyone managed to earn 10,000 points so far and left here..."
"Are there very few people today, how come no one has entered the Samsung copy so far?"
Xia Jing scanned it quickly and clicked on the last post.
The post was posted at 9 a.m., so far has been 12:00 noon, still no one responded to the floor, together into the Samsung copy.
Only Xia Jing and the floor master two people, also far from enough for a Samsung copy of the number of players.
Xia Jing did not disappoint, for him, play low star copy is also play, also can collect "materials" - monsters.
He simply turned off the holographic screen, raised his hand, and selected the "New Today" column on the machine, and a total of 13 copies were displayed in front of Xia Jing.
Ten of them are one-star copies and three are two-star copies.
Two more of the two-star copies are full, and the game is in progress.
The only remaining two-star copy shows "8/9" in the upper right corner.
The copy requires nine players, at which point eight players are logged in.
Xia Jing eyes, scan the copy of the name and cover.
Don't Think About It!
In the middle of the cover was a twisted black blob with tentacles stretching out, some like octopuses, and the monster's face had smiling eyes like crooked moons and a pale mouth.
If you stare long enough, it seems you can still see a distorted face from the front of this monster.
Xia Jing narrowed his eyes.
The face seemed to emerge automatically from the cover, or like an illusion produced by staring for a long time, so that people could not distinguish.
Xia Jing quickly shifted its focus.
In the background behind the monster, there are various daily life scenes scattered, there are office rooms, crowded supermarkets, wide roads, warm homes, school classrooms and so on...
It's hard to see a pattern for a while.
The information is very fragmented.
MHM.
That's it.
Hopefully, it'll be fun.
Thinking so, Xia Jing smiled and touched the cover of this copy, and his eyes fell into darkness.
...
...
I do not know how long it took, Xia Jing was awakened by a melodious music.
Along with the music, there is a gentle female voice, a gentle call.
"Everybody, get up, everybody, get up..."
"Please go to the canteen after washing, eat breakfast, go to the classroom as soon as possible, start morning reading oh..."
The sound of "tak" and "tak" sounded in my ears, which was the noise made by the simple wooden bed board when it was pressed.
Xia Jing felt a little groggy in his head, and the moment he lifted his upper body, he noticed that he was wearing a... Thin spring uniform with white background and blue border.
The lower body is a pair of loose matching trousers, stuffy under the quilt, just wake up for a minute, it has made people feel stuffy.
... Two-star copy, simple is imaginable, but even do not give a set of pajamas, it is too simple.
Xia Jing was silent for a second, lifted the quilt and looked around silently.
One dorm, four beds.
Under the bed was a desk, and everyone slept on the top bunk.
Three people besides him --
One is also in his early twenties, wearing a pair of glasses, thin, ordinary looking young man, at this time is sleepily rubbing his eyes, confused to look at the dormitory.
One, a dark-skinned, bear-like man with a fierce face, was warily surveying the other three.
Another man slept on the bed opposite the summer view, rubbing his forehead with his hand.
He looked very tall, perhaps nearly nine feet tall, broad-shouldered, handsome, with a cool white complexion and a slightly peachy eye, which showed that he was trying to shake off his drowsiness, and his eyes were quietly sweeping over the summer landscape.
Four of them. All gamers, no doubt.
All four, no matter their age, were wearing green school uniforms.
... It's very funny.
Little glasses were the first to break the silence. He cleared his throat. "Ahem..."
Xia Jing, peach eyes, bear like men brush their eyes to gather on him.
The little glasses suddenly became the focus, and the pressure increased.
He laughed dryly. "That... I just want to get out of bed and pee in the morning, it's a bit urgent!"
With that, he coaxed out of bed.
The other three: "..."
Xia Jing smiled gently and moved.
The bear man and peach eyes looked at Xia Jing again.
"I also go to the toilet," Xia Jing looked up, half smiling, "how... Want to come together?"
Peach eyes thought for a second, followed out of bed.
The bear-like man stared sharply at him again.
Peach eyes hook lips, lazy way: "Don't be shy, want to go to the toilet together to line up, without eyes to ask."
Bear man almost choked to death!
Who the fuck is in the mood to go to the bathroom, who the fuck is shy to go to the bathroom, who the fuck asked you for instructions!
In other words, the first thing to do after entering a copy is to go to the toilet, which is what operation? !Each copy has a number of people required."This voice can not be blamed on me, is a faceless woman's face automatically recognizes this picture after the voice."
