The apocalyptic wasteland game "Infinite Tomorrow" descends upon the world.
Players slaughter and plunder to survive, their bodies and minds doubly exhausted. Just as they're abou...
Chapter 32 Hurricane Season 32 Returning with a full load, another hurricane strikes?
"Ugh, so disgusting." Jiang Ruunian held up his ten fingers, and sticky liquid was still slowly dripping from his fingertips.
Liu Yinshuang and Bai Yexuan ran over to check her injuries. Fortunately, except for her butt which was broken into pieces at the beginning, she was not injured. She was just a little dirty. Who in Qingshan Sect would dislike her?
Looking at the harmonious and warm scene of the three masters and apprentices, Sui Yan's emotionless green jade dimmed for a moment.
Ever since he first saw Jiang Runian riding Xiaobai in the forest, he had guessed that she could communicate with alien creatures. The last time he conquered Longnan Yuanxu, he was even more certain.
But Jiang Runian’s magic is not just about this special ability.
In the forest, she was alert and decisive; in Longnan Lake, she was quick to react and made plans; in Sunset Abandoned City, she was agile and could easily find the flaws...
This doesn't look like an ordinary player at all.
Fortunately, her basic attributes such as physical strength were extremely poor, otherwise she would have been discovered and taken back by the organization on the first day she landed.
"What should I do? It seems like it can't be washed off at all..." Jiang Ruonian walked up the slope while wiping the stains, pouting and admonishing, "Senior Sister, don't forget to pick up the sunflowers!"
sunflower:"……"
Thank you, I am touched.
As the only one among the four who was smelly, Jiang Runian consciously walked to the side, but Sui Yan clung to her like a piece of candy.
Jiang Ruonian took a step and he followed.
Jiang Runian took a step, and he followed with a big step.
Jiang Runian suddenly stopped and turned back to stare at him, his eyes showing a deep understanding that he had seen through everything. "Sui Yan, you can ask me directly about this kind of thing. There's no need to test me."
Sui Yan was shocked.
Could it be that she could not only talk to monsters, but also hear the voices of humans?
"I know what you're thinking," Jiang Runian took out the intermediate-level mutant crystal core from her bag. It was as big as her palm. "You want this, right?"
"..." Sui Yan was silent, "No."
This time it was Jiang Runian's turn to remain silent.
Their organization even collects the bodies of the green-eyed birds that flew away one by one, but they don't want such a big crystal core? !
In "Infinite Tomorrow", crystal cores were originally fixed drops after defeating zombies and monsters. Players can sell crystal cores in exchange for game currency, which can then be exchanged for supplies needed for survival in the mall.
Later, some people discovered the power of alienated energy and began to purchase and use crystal cores to transform them into weapons with extremely high lethality.
Alien energy is the life-extending pill for monsters and the ginseng fruit for zombies, and it cannot be used to suppress them. Then the intention of these people to develop weapons is obvious, they are to deal with players who are also survivors.
Even a small Dark Hunter base on the southwestern border dared to have the idea of research and development, let alone those growing and developing towns.
In the end times, natural disasters are terrible, but they are nothing compared to human nature.
Sui Yan's organization was definitely not an unknown organization, so she never dared to ask in depth. She always thought that this organization was collecting crystal cores all over the world and planned to build an alien energy station.
I didn’t expect Sui Yan didn’t want it?
"You take it. Collecting crystal cores is something the organization needs to consider," Sui Yan said calmly, "not my mission."
It's really a robot, it won't do anything unless it's a mission.
Also, it sounds like he doesn't have a very deep connection with the organization.
After thinking about it, Jiang Runian still didn't click to sell it, but kept the crystal core. She didn't need this little bit of money, but she wanted to study this thing more thoroughly.
The four walked a distance in the direction where the green mist dissipated, and finally escaped from a green forest that had long since turned into a waste dump.
Jiang Runian turned his head, reluctant to leave.
For those with sufficient strength, Sunset Wasteland has unlimited potential. I guess the sinkhole she fell into was caused by the Red Flower Monster. To be able to raise such a powerful alien monster, the energy and resources of Sunset Wasteland should not be underestimated. There are also rare marine resources in the north. If a powerful force can take over this city, it will definitely flourish.
Unfortunately, she was just thinking about it.
No matter how great it is, it can't compare to her Qingshan Inn.
It was already dusk when we returned to Qingshan Inn.
While Li Fu and Feng Yuechen were entertaining the guests, they poked their heads out of the door. After three seconds of looking, they finally saw four figures returning with full loads!
"Anian! How did you get into this state? Go change your clothes!"
"Wow, wow, wow, I was so scared. I thought you guys would never come back..."
"I've told you before, A Nian can handle it." Chu Yu said this, but her figure sitting quietly at the door waiting for someone still revealed her worry.
Jiang Runian couldn't wait to change his clothes, so he went to the backyard and took out all the medicinal herbs, sand, alien vegetation, and seafood in the bags of the master and apprentice.
Even Sui Yan dug out a few herbs and said casually, “Since you didn’t take any, I guess the bag is full.”
So you took it for her?
Sui Yan, a top teammate in District 8!
Even though she had just experienced a day of fierce fighting, she still arranged everything in an orderly manner. Feng Yuechen took the vegetation and herbs back to purify them, Chu Yu studied whether new materials could be made, and Bai Yexuan took a good rest and processed the seafood...
Li Fu felt tired for her and pushed her: "Okay, okay, you haven't cleaned yourself yet, and you're thinking about the inn."
After quickly changing and washing, Jiang Ruonian put a swelling-reducing plaster on his butt and pushed open the bedroom door.
For convenience and in order not to delay the diners, Qingshan Sect placed a square table made by Chu Yu himself in front of the two-story building in the backyard. The table can be transformed into various shapes and can seat two to ten people.
At this time, several people were sitting around a table full of delicious food, persuading Sui Yan to sit down and have a bite.
Sui Yan still spoke in a businesslike tone: "Just pay the commission, and then the meal will be ready—"
Before he could finish, Liu Yinshuang had already pinned him down with a palm and rolled her eyes: "Just eat it when I tell you to! You are so manly and pretentious!"
Seeing him following her junior sister in Sunset Abandoned City, Liu Yinshuang was already a little unhappy, and now she was even more annoyed. Her junior sister was the best in the world, so why did she end up with such an indecisive little man?
Suiyan: "..."
Jiang Runian had no choice but to sit down next to him and said with a low laugh, "Last time I said I would treat you to a meal, why not wait for a better day?"
Li Fu's ears were pointed, and she pouted immediately: "What do you have to say to anyone other than me?"
At the same time, two pairs of chopsticks filled her bowl with one meat and one vegetable.
The taciturn leader and elders of Qingshan Sect: "." What a coincidence, you also want A Nian to eat his food quickly and stop talking to the stinky man?
Only Feng Yuechen seems like an innocent and naive person.
Having just received a large bag of medicinal herbs from Sui Yan, Feng Yuechen was very grateful and broke off a large chicken leg for him, saying, "Brother Sui Yan, I saw that you were very skilled the first time I saw you, and this time you helped my junior sister a lot. Why don't you... come and work in our inn? Food and accommodation are provided, and my junior sister is a very nice person."
Cough cough cough!
Feng Yuechen's sudden recruitment speech choked Jiang Runian!
Turning around, Sui Yan frowned slightly.
His organization is mysterious and secretive, and they do things that are not allowed in public, so no one would be willing to be exposed for no reason.
Jiang Runian stretched out two fingers and pinched the second brother's chattering mouth: "Okay, there are only six dormitories in total. He will move in and throw you back to Longnan Lake."
You have to say harsh words to Feng Yuechen.
Jiang Runian is already quite familiar with this.
As expected, Feng Yuechen's eyes turned red, and he started mumbling something while holding the bowl. He was indeed the one who was least liked by the junior sister in Qingshan Sect...
After temporarily feeling relieved, Jiang Ru'nian tugged at Sui Yan's sleeve, signaling him to relax.
At this moment, even through a layer of cloth, Jiang Runian could feel Sui Yan's body was cold.
She calmly touched the back of Sui Yan's hand and could hardly feel the temperature. The porcelain-like skin was lined with blue-purple blood vessels, as thin as a needle.
He sat upright as if an electric current had struck his spine, yet there was a barely perceptible tremor. A few drops of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He was in great pain.
So... he was frowning because he was enduring the pain?
No matter how patient he is, he cannot escape the doctor's eyes. Feng Yuechen stopped crying and said seriously, "Sui Yan, where does it hurt? I'll go find some medicine for you."
Sui Yan closed his beautiful peach blossom eyes, swallowed a mouthful of blood, and said palely: "No need, I just... there is an emergency at home, so I need to go back."
Others were puzzled and wondered what the connection was between his family and his current misery.
Only Jiang Ruinian understood that the organization was urgently calling him. That's right, he hadn't done any missions and had no news for the whole day, so it was possible that he would be suspected.
This kind of inhumane pain may be the "collection treasure" exclusive to this organization.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ruunian helped him out the door and stuffed a bunch of cooking pills and three hibiscus flowers into his bag.
Her name has already been written on the hibiscus. Sui Yan only needs to add the content of the letter, and she will receive it even if she has to travel across mountains and rivers.
She knew very well that if this was an organization that could use pain as a summons, then it would be ruthless in other matters as well. Perhaps it would use these hibiscus flowers.
Jiang Runian doesn't want to be a pushover, but at the moment, Qingshan Inn still needs Sui Yan.
*
The next day, Jiang Ruunian took the little green car into Shuguang Town.
She brought the cotton that the clothing store owner needed. When the owner saw the whole truckload of cotton, his eyes widened.
After leaving the clothing store, she learned from the players that Wang Po was selling wild vegetables. She did not reveal her identity, but asked about Wang Po's well-being for a few words, lied that she forgot to bring money, and handed Wang Po the special body-building pill made by her second brother in exchange for a basket of useless wild vegetables.
She doesn't do charity, but she does a little bit of good things, which is considered as accumulating virtue.
After finishing all these miscellaneous tasks, Jiang Ruonian arrived at the mayor's private residence where he had agreed to meet with Jin Xiulian.
"...You mean, there is a sea to the north of Sunset Wasteland, and the creatures in the water are not at risk of mutation for the time being?!" Jin Xiulian was dumbfounded, and her glasses slipped to the tip of her nose. "There is no risk for you to enter from the southwest entrance, and you also saw a spacious underground space and a huge warehouse for medicinal materials?!"
Jiang Ruonian nodded.
She didn't intend to hide this, and asked Li Fu to write a letter to inform Meng Li and Zheng Xuan in the morning.
Qingshan Sect currently does not have the strength to go deep into the area alone, and the players in the southwest region also know that it is much more cost-effective for medicinal materials to fall into the hands of Qingshan Inn than to keep them in their own hands. Except for people like Wang Qi, the others will most likely not compete with her. What's more, not everyone can enter the Sunset Wasteland.
Jiang Ruonian and Senmin Shuguang exchanged information not only to speed up the exploration of Sunset Wasteland, but also to exchange for more resources they had obtained.
Just as Jin Xiulian was weighing the pros and cons, a cry of alarm suddenly rang out in the town: "Hide quickly! The random natural disaster is coming again!"
