Rest Stop Station Report: Shocking!!! Is it moral decay or is there another hidden reason, a 4.5 billion-year-old elder hires child labor!!!
Reincarnation Gate On-Site Feedback: The world'...
The bathroom has good sound insulation.
Just as Cheng Shuang was about to ask the Palace Concubine of April if she had escaped safely, she could only vaguely hear a few sounds, like the sounds of people in great pain.
In April, she understood the good intentions of the men who kept them outside the bathroom, especially Cheng Shuang. Even though she knew that the child couldn't avoid such cruel things in the land of death, she would still want to protect her if there were adults around.
This is human nature!
Half an hour passed by in a blur. Actually, there wasn't much to talk about. The real topic was summarizing the information and analyzing feasible solutions.
Seeing that the group was about to wake up, April took out a bottle with a fishy smell and cleanly and efficiently poured it down their throats, including the gentle beauty who was busy in the storage room, Du Lanshan.
The little girl pinched her nose and watched as the beautiful woman drank the foul-smelling liquid, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground. She couldn't help but sigh, "Was she knocked out by the stench?"
When the topic of knocking someone unconscious came up, April couldn't help but glance at Cheng Shuang with a complicated expression. Recalling the lingering scent on Gong Zhu, she couldn't help but smile and say, "This is medicine. It can make someone fall asleep for half an hour after touching it, but the smell is too strong, making it inconvenient for fighting. It won't knock someone out; it's not as effective as the card you contributed. Not only did it save Gong Zhu's life, but it also knocked out several homeless people, making everyone feel a bit more relaxed."
No wonder there were only about twenty guides waiting outside.
Cheng Shuang scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "I only have this one useful escape card left. The side effects are quite severe, but the situation is urgent, and I can't afford to delay."
"I want to thank you for this." April naturally didn't blame Cheng Shuang. On the contrary, her gratitude was genuine. It was already commendable that the young girl hadn't abandoned the situation. With such a collaborator, who wouldn't feel at ease?
"Gong Zhu left me a message saying that once the smell on her body dissipates, she will definitely replace the card for you."
Cheng Shuang smiled, tacitly agreeing to Gong Zhu's decision, and then turned to ask if Sister Xin had sent any news.
It's normal to return the card. Even if the card she used was a copy, the girl wouldn't be foolish enough to tell everyone that she really saved Gong Zhu's life.
Even though Du Jun had experienced a similar situation before, and Si Hai had lent a hand, the circumstances were different. Du Jun's injury was the result of a risky plan he and Si Hai had agreed upon, so the gains and losses should be shared by both of them. Gong Zhu, on the other hand, almost lost his life because of his own recklessness.
Although the young girl is soft-hearted, she knows when it's appropriate to be soft-hearted.
She still has someone else's invisibility card in her hand!
It must be returned, but it must be returned to Gong Zhu in person. You can't judge a book by its cover, and if there are any petty conflicts at this time, it would be a loss rather than a gain.
Cheng Shuang's biggest regret was that the ghost doll Luo An's copying skill had already been used up; otherwise, she would definitely have tried to copy this rare invisibility card.
But when he thought about the twenty-odd 'Eye of Penetration' cards that had appeared in his spatial storage, the regret of losing a hundred million immediately disappeared.
Without the travel permit, she couldn't enter the second basement level. Without entering the second basement level, she wouldn't be able to get the Spirit-Devouring Water to deal with the wanderers. Hmm, copying the travel permit wasn't a bad deal.
The young girl had her own plans.
"Sister Xin hasn't sent any news." April said calmly, holding Luo An.
"Will it be dangerous?" Cheng Shuang asked, puzzled. "I didn't see any guards when I went in. Could they have changed shifts?"
“I’m not afraid of danger.” April saw the little girl’s innocent expression and ruffled her little head. “I’m afraid she’s gotten some useful clue and will turn around and abandon us.”
Cheng Shuang wasn't truly clueless. As soon as these words were spoken, she immediately realized and bit her lip, "I understand. Sister Xin has her own partners, and in any emergency, she would definitely think of her partners." The ghost doll given to Sister Xin hadn't sent any messages. One reason was that things went smoothly on Sister Xin's end, and the other was that Sister Xin didn't trust her, so she put the ghost doll into her spatial storage.
Cheng Shuang, her own doll, could be taken back at any time. If it weren't for that premise, she wouldn't have given it away so casually. But thinking about Sister Xin's kind eyes, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "You really can't judge a book by its cover..." When they first met, Sister Xin seemed to have a much easier temper than Siyue and Gongzhu!
“Currently, there are four teams of maintainers in the central city: your team and mine, Sister Xin’s team, and another team that is all men. We have the fewest people, four people, and you have at least five or six people. Sister Xin let slip that there are seven people at their rest station. If she is telling the truth, then the remaining team is eight people.”
"How many maintainers can a rest stop accommodate at most?" Cheng Shuang asked curiously.
"It depends on the level of the rest stop. Of course, sometimes it's not about the quantity of maintainers but the quality; the higher the level of the rest stop, the better the quality of the maintainers." April wouldn't hide such things; even if she didn't say anything, Cheng Shuang would find out later anyway, so she might as well do a good job and make everyone's cooperation more pleasant and closer.
"A basic-level rest stop needs at least six maintainers to survive. If something unexpected happens, the rest stop will automatically replenish its staff. After all, quite a few maintainers lose their rest stops."
So, their rest stop in April wasn't a group ticket at this Gate of Reincarnation? The little girl's eyes darted around. Perhaps the rest stop in April was already a higher level?
"Can we contact each other between rest stops?" Taking advantage of the kind person who was willing to teach her, Cheng Shuang quickly asked the question.
The girl was clever; she didn't pry into the private affairs of the rest stop where April was staying. Instead, she asked questions that were relevant to herself and wouldn't annoy April.
Sure enough, April softened her tone, "Yes, but not for the lower levels. The shop there is basically just for show. I'm not too sure about the higher levels. And I heard that the higher the level of the rest stop, the more dangerous the Death Zones become. Those numbers aren't just for show; the smaller the number, the more severely the Death Zone has fallen."
Before April could say anything more, a low growl came from the bathroom, and a ghostly green shadow peeked out from the narrow crack in the bathroom door.
April's heart skipped a beat. She was anxiously trying to figure out what to use to catch this ghostly thing that was as illusory as a human soul when Cheng Shuang darted over, holding a cowhide bag that looked like a water sac in her small hand, and caught it like a turtle in a jar.
The green phantom was fleeing too fast; with its forehead directly facing the leather bag, it couldn't discern what awaited it outside before rushing inside.
Fang Niang: ...Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
A grotesque face appeared inside the leather bag. The little girl gripped the bag tightly, her arms flailing up and down, left and right, almost flying into the air. Fortunately, April and Du Lanshan, who had chased after her, caught her and held the leather bag down.
"Quickly, quickly, tie your mouth shut!" Sun Han shouted, his face pale.
If this gets out, all the maintainers will be in trouble!
