In the future world, holographic games are fully prevalent. A national farming and infrastructure building game suddenly emerged, becoming globally popular overnight. However, one day, a major bug ...
Pei Wen got into her car despite the pressure, and tactfully kept silent and didn't talk back, behaving properly and not provoking or annoying her.
Since Fang Xun is not here, Si Lan needs to come forward and communicate with the other camp first.
So she was not responsible for transporting the supplies, and only placed some more representative resources in the storage space. She took Pei Wen straight to the camp.
The two of them didn't talk much the whole time.
The motorcycle throttle was fully opened, and it took two days to reach the new camp.
The infrastructure team still notified the corresponding camps in advance, so when Si Lan arrived, they recognized her and came out to greet her.
This camp was developed later than the first oil camp, but the oil well technology was more advanced, the oil field was larger, and the oil produced was of better quality.
After picking up Si Lan, the residents there didn't ask them how they wanted to exchange for resources, nor did they ask how much benefits they wanted to give. They immediately took her and Pei Wen to see the crude oil.
Seeing this, Si Lan took the initiative to raise the issue of resource exchange after looking at several oil wells with them.
Unexpectedly, the others simply waved their hands and refused: "No, no need to exchange."
"We've talked with the Infrastructure Group and they said your team is currently the most promising to lead everyone to break through the goal and escape the game, so our camp intends to fully cooperate with you."
Si Lan hesitated for a moment, and Pei Wen said, "You can't say that, and you can't settle the account that way."
"Since everyone is willing to fully cooperate, shouldn't we both ensure the best and most efficient terms?"
The person in charge on the other side hesitated: "That's right..."
Pei Wen didn't give him any chance to refuse: "We have a factory built in our camp now. It has many automated machines, even a crude oil extraction furnace."
"What we brought here is suitable for everyone's use. When your oil production speeds up, we won't have to worry about oil consumption too much. We won't have to be frugal or even shut down to save oil, and we'll be more efficient."
After hearing this, several people finally agreed.
But I still felt a little embarrassed: "Then how did you manage to transport such a large machine here? This game's storage space can't accommodate such a large machine, right?"
These words made Si Lan and Pei Wen couldn't help laughing. The next second, they found that their expressions were the same. Si Lan straightened up in an instant, which made Pei Wen almost faint.
Pei Wen then took out a tutorial booklet and handed it over: "I don't know if the infrastructure team has mentioned this to you. Here's the booklet for you. Take a look at it when you have time."
"As for the machines...we didn't carry them here. We made them right away. Can we find an open space to set them up?"
When everyone heard the word "release", they were completely confused.
But we still found them a place to put the machine.
The next second, everyone saw Si Lan take out a huge crude oil extraction furnace from the production queue and place it on the ground.
They finally understood that the other equipment on Si Lan's list would take another day or two to produce. She didn't take them out, but she showed and explained them to everyone.
Everyone listened with great interest.
After that, they carefully put away the booklet that Pei Wen gave them, preparing to study it carefully in the future.
The cooperation was so smooth that the planned time was not used at all, and the two of them could just sit back and wait for the main force to arrive.
But during this idle time, Pei Wen's heart was not idle at all.
Because he found out that Si Lan was serious.
I really ignore him.
Except for necessary conversations, she would not exchange a single extra word with him.
We usually keep a considerable distance from each other when walking, and are no longer as casual and intimate as before.
Pei Wen was so angry that his teeth were itching.
I thought when she said "play with him" she meant to fight him, but I didn't expect that she would just ignore the challenge.
This made Pei Wen very anxious. He tried to show off his presence in a fancy way, but unfortunately, some people just ignored him, which made him extremely depressed.
Three days later, the team carrying supplies finally arrived at the camp.
When they heard that the deal had already been negotiated and the other party did not need them to provide these supplies, they were a little confused and went to ask Si Lan and Pei Wen.
Si Lan looked at the supplies that had been moved here with great difficulty: Well, there is really no need to move them back. Although the supplies are precious, what they lack now are not these things.
In contrast, in this camp, due to the concentrated development of oil wells, there are not many resource areas nearby. Although everyone says that there is no shortage, no need, and they want to cooperate fully, the premise of cooperation is that everyone's life is not difficult.
So she insisted on keeping the resources and tried to persuade them.
The other camp couldn't resist her and finally agreed.
In this way, Si Lan and others' mission was completed. They packed the first batch of oil that they had agreed to take back that day, and then returned to their temporary residences to rest, preparing to rush back the next day.
That night, Pei Wen, who hadn't been able to be normal with her for many days, couldn't help it and went to the next room and knocked on her door.
When Si Lan opened the door and saw that it was him, she didn't even say hello or ask anything. Instead, she asked him what he was doing with a slightly sharp look.
Pei Wen looked a little unnatural, and seeing that she was not in a good mood, he asked her, "How long will you be angry?"
Si Lan frowned: "What are you angry about?"
Pei Wen counted on his fingers: "How many days have you ignored me? Hmm? Count, how many days?"
Si Lan: "Why should I care about you?"
Pei Wen: “…”
After a long stalemate, he looked at the empty room behind her, then at the sky, and blurted out without thinking: "I feel uncomfortable."
Si Lan had been prepared to retort to whatever he said, but when she heard this, she moved her mouth and then froze, "What?"
Pei Wen himself hadn't expected to say such a thing. Now he was in a dilemma and could only bite the bullet and say something under pressure: "I said I'm not feeling well."
"heart,"
"uncomfortable."
Si Lan opened her mouth again, wanting to say something but stopping herself, her eyes full of suspicion.
What could Pei Wen do? He could only grit his teeth and continue acting.
He averted his gaze from hers again, and lowered his voice to a level where guilt and weakness were just the right mix: "It hurts a little. I'm afraid it will come back, so I came to see you first... to prepare a case."
Si Lan: “…”
Record-filing...
She took a deep breath, suppressed her inner irritability, and asked again: "How does it hurt? How long has it been?"
Pei Wen: "Just now, as soon as I felt pain, I came to you. Are you self-aware enough?"
Si Lan thought to herself, who knows whether it was true self-awareness or false self-awareness.
But to be on the safe side, she still stepped aside from the door and motioned for him, "Come in."
After entering, she asked him to sit down first while she checked his personal condition, his heart rate and body temperature. She stopped only after making sure that there was no numbness in his limbs and no obvious signs of illness.
There were no obvious symptoms. Although Si Lan was puzzled, she still cautiously went to the camp communication station to inquire about Pei Wen's condition.
Pei Wen couldn't help feeling guilty seeing her busying around there.
I feel like a big scoundrel who uses a self-torture trick to deceive people.
But now this is the only way to make her pay attention to him, and he seems to have no other choice.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Si Lan finally came back from outside.
Pei Wen immediately sat up straight: "What, what's going on?"
Si Lan's eyes roamed over him, her expression and tone subtle: "Are you really not feeling uncomfortable in any other way?"
Pei Wen didn't dare to act rashly and shook his head carefully: "No..."
"Does it still hurt now?"
"Hmm...it doesn't hurt much anymore, just that little bit."
Si Lan frowned subtly again.
Pei Wen was afraid that his little trick would be seen through, so he hurriedly made up a few more words, trying his best to cover up the lie he had just told as an accident.
Si Lan listened quietly, but instead of reacting as he expected, she asked, "It really only hurt for a moment? Doesn't it hurt at all normally?"
Now Pei Wenpin realized something was wrong.
Even Si Lan's strange expression seemed to have found the reason.
His heart sank, and he whispered, "Am I getting worse?"
Si Lan's eyes never left him, her expression solemn. After a moment's thought, she replied conservatively, "It's not getting worse, but the situation is a little grim."
Pei Wen: "Can't keep steady?"
This time Si Lan didn't say anything, the message she received from the communication station kept echoing in her mind.
The general meaning is that even if the best care is given in the hospital in this world, the consciousness and the body are separated, and the chip stimulation cannot be isolated, which is not conducive to recuperation. It will not worsen, but it has not improved.
The heart is the source of power for the body, and continuous operation under load carries a fatal risk. So just because his condition isn't deteriorating now doesn't mean it won't worsen in the future, and this is definitely not good news to be celebrated for.
Si Lan stared at him for a long time and said unhappily, "You are really good."
You can't just ignore it.
Pei Wen didn't understand what she meant and asked again, "So is it really unstable? ...How many days can I live?"
This made Si Lan frown unconsciously, and she angrily said to him: "It's not cancer, how many days can he live?"
Pei Wen: "Doesn't that mean the situation is not optimistic?"
"Isn't there a sentence before "not optimistic" that says "not worsening"? It hasn't even gotten worse, so why are you adding a countdown to yourself?"
Pei Wen felt relieved now and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay as long as it's not fatal."
Si Lan frowned again, feeling inexplicably irritated.
"It can't be fatal. Stop talking nonsense."
"The medical team reported that your chip is still stimulating quite frequently, so it would be best if you could reduce your daily activities a bit and avoid going out unless necessary."
Pei Wen was not very happy about this: "Doesn't that mean I'll become a cripple? It's not that serious..."
Si Lan's expression immediately changed again: "Not yet? You have to have a real countdown to be happy, right?"
She was so fierce that Pei Wen lost confidence in speaking. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
Si Lan glanced at the time again. It was getting late, so she urged him to go back: "Go back to sleep. If you don't want to sleep, then lie down on the bed and rest. Don't run around anymore."
But Pei Wen finally managed to talk to her and didn't want to leave: "I just came in..."
Si Lan really didn't understand what he was insisting on. She stopped at the door, her eyes filled with helplessness: "What on earth do you want to do? Didn't you come to me just to chat? What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave?"
Pei Wen's heart skipped a beat as soon as the words came out.
Looking at Si Lan's back standing by the door, my emotions suddenly surged.
After a while, he looked at her, at that face that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, gritted his teeth, and blurted out: "Yes."
