Shi Jinzhe, a cheater in a survival game, falls into a desperate situation in the third game. At the critical moment of life and death, a broken stone statue saves his life by accident.
The m...
The light rain that had fallen earlier had stopped, but the clouds in the sky were churning, layer upon layer like ocean waves, as if brewing an even more violent storm.
Due to the terrain, the roads on Azure Island are winding and circuitous. There are many shops on both sides of the roads, with all kinds of tropical fresh fruits displayed in front of the shops.
Smelling the fruity aroma in the air, Shehe's spirits lifted slightly. Seeing this, Shi Jinzhe bought her two custard apples to eat.
Sheh took a bite of the fruit; it was cloyingly sweet, but she loved it.
Time may come, but there's no rush. This is just right. Shekh's eyes are covered by ribbons, and his slow, deceptive walking is quite charming.
Who would have thought that some players weren't in a hurry to clear the dungeon, but instead were leading a disabled patient on a leisurely stroll down the street, while even the real tourists weren't as relaxed as the two of them.
Shekhlian ate the fruit peel along with the fruit: "Everyone else has prepared their things, what do we need to do?"
"See if there are any quick ways to make money, and then develop a basic protection plan."
Biohazards, natural disasters, and radiation are some of the most likely survival challenges on Azure Island.
Currently, the probability of radiation is low; according to Shech's statements, biological or chemical reactions are the most likely possibility.
Severe weather is likely just a means for the game to cut off external communication; it has an impact, but it's not the main reason.
“The bank has security and a lot of money, let’s go.” Shekh said casually, as if she were just saying how nice the weather was, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with what she said.
Shi Jinzhe glanced at her; she really dared to think of anything.
"Think about such dangerous ideas, but don't do them."
If you're willing to rob a bank, why not just rob supplies?
However, Shi Jinzhe did not completely deny her, and whispered to her: "Protection can be considered, but the bank is sealed too tightly, which will also have certain drawbacks, such as making it inconvenient to escape. What you said can be regarded as a backup for now."
"Then what about protecting the place where we live?"
"That's fine, but if you're here, we can save a lot of effort in terms of protection."
"I can't stop those things," Shekh said honestly, not intending to be reckless. She could deal with ghosts and monsters, but these invisible and intangible things were currently beyond her control.
"How many zombie movies have you watched? Do you have any other insights?" Shi Jinzhe guided her. "Observe the people on the street more."
Sheh severely lacks common sense about human society. In the previous instance, there were ghosts and monsters, and not many people, so she was able to handle it with ease. But in this instance, in addition to 200 players, there are more than 200,000 native inhabitants of the instance world.
In the original world, she was only willing to go out to practice walking every evening. She didn't like to communicate with people, and whether she wanted to go out or not depended entirely on her own will.
However, in dungeon worlds, especially survival ones, she often has to face a lot of people, which is not conducive to her thinking habits.
Shekh is logical enough that when she enters a place she doesn't feel comfortable in, she needs some understanding and guidance to analyze the situation.
The streets were bustling with people, and Shekh began to survey his surroundings upon hearing this.
The zombies in the movie are highly contagious; a bite or a scratch can cause mutations, and the spread inevitably requires an initial source of infection.
Tracing back from the source of infection, the initial infected person 0 was usually created by the virus.
Sheh immediately understood what Shi Jinzhe meant when he said that having her around could save on protective measures.
If a virus simply causes an infection, that's fine, but if it can successfully inhabit the human body and cause mutations, the level of danger will increase dramatically.
Something unsettling has already appeared on Azure Island, and the situation will only worsen over the next 29 days.
If a monster were to actually appear, it would be difficult for her to withstand its power, and she would have to deal with those things herself.
Are you sure it's a crisis like a virus?
"It's just speculation, but Azure Company started here and its influence should not be underestimated. There must be many research and development laboratories on the island. If there is a leak, it will cause a problem. So regardless of whether it is true or not, we should be prepared."
Shi Jinzhe followed the road signs toward the bustling area and found a Weilan Pharmaceutical specialty store at the intersection of the pedestrian street.
The three-story flagship store features a large screen on its exterior wall playing a promotional video for Azure.
[Blue Ocean Biopharmaceuticals has been established for thirty years. During these thirty years, we have cured millions of cancer patients, overcome numerous medical challenges, and saved countless families suffering from illness. To thank our patients for their trust, we will be launching a month-long free consultation and free physical examination campaign starting tomorrow.]
At the store entrance, staff members in dark blue uniforms were constantly distributing medical examination forms to passing travelers.
A flower is pinned to a piece of stiff cardstock, and many people who don't want to accept it will instinctively take it when they see it.
A medical examination card was stuffed into Shekh's hand. One side of the card was covered with writing, and the other side was a form.
She removed the flowers and handed the side with the writing to Shi Jinzhe, saying, "Read it."
Shi Jinzhe read ten lines at a glance and then briefly explained to her: "This island was originally an unnamed island, which was bought by the founder of Azure for drug research and development. Later, more and more people came to seek medical treatment and medicine, and some people simply settled down on the island."
Later, as more and more tourists came to visit, the island was officially named Azure Island twelve years ago with government approval.
.
Many people on the pedestrian street received flowers, and some of them kept talking about Azure Company.
“I have a relative who was cured here. He had late-stage stomach cancer and it’s been more than five years now. He’s perfectly fine. I heard it’s also related to the good environment on this island. I don’t have any illnesses. I just want to buy a house here and recuperate.”
“I’ve been having a lot of headaches lately, and my kids suggested we come here for treatment so that we can get better sooner. Is this place really that amazing?”
A couple next to us were holding a small child. "Everyone else said it wouldn't work, but Weilan really cured our baby. If we could leave today, we would have gone home."
"After hearing what you all said, even I, who am not sick, want to get a checkup."
The young people laughed and joked, "Anyway, it's free, so we're not losing anything. The last time I had a physical exam was back in my senior year of high school."
"Yeah, yeah, let's go together."
Shi Jinzhe listened from the side. It will be free starting tomorrow. Today, quite a few people have come into the store to browse. With such a dense flow of people, if it really is a biological virus, that would be quite troublesome.
He didn't listen anymore. He found a restaurant on the street, ordered food for Sheikh, and then took out his phone to search for loan information.
Since it's only for one month, taking out a loan using collateral and documents is the fastest way to make money.
The online approval was quick, but because he didn't have property or collateral, the loan amount was a bit small. He tried several companies and finally lent out a total of 170,000 yuan.
The two sat on the same side of the table, and he asked Shekh, "Can you still smell the fishy odor?"
"There is a bit of it, and it becomes more obvious the closer you are to the sea. The smell comes from the sea breeze. The source of the scent is at sea, but not far away, not in the deep sea."
Shekh seemed to be deep in thought. The fishy smell was negligible when the passenger ship was not near the coastline, but it became noticeable when it arrived at the dock.
She replied, "The problem is right on the coastline."
Shi Jinzhe: "Then let's avoid the beach for the time being."
