Chapter 240 The Second Person
You Xi was not in a hurry. She took off her gliding suit while waiting for the other party's answer.
The other party looked her up and down, almost looking a hole in her. After removing the funny gliding equipment, the girl's appearance was more clearly presented.
Dark chestnut soft short hair, bright and delicate facial features, a very young girl, but with a firm expression and a focused gaze, a kind of calmness far beyond her age.
She was still very beautiful, but it was indeed a completely different face.
When they met in the two worlds before, even though she was of different ages, she had the same face, so she had a preconceived idea that the other party was just an ordinary passenger.
Since entering the endless train world, she has been to two stations. She knew that it was impossible to see the other party in one or two stations, so she was not in a hurry.
With her current strength, these different stations are like immersive movies. Although dangerous, they are much more exciting than the previous mission worlds.
She thought this station would be the same, but she still used her own way to wait on the road before her countdown ended.
Tang Yatong laughed again: "The high school boyfriend also wants to ask Xiaoxi, after 'he' left, how many years did she get caught in the rain in that world?"
"Six years."
"Then did you go out in the end?"
"No." Youxi shook her head, "After the last piece of land disappeared, the fragments were still fragments. But everyone lives well, our base has also become a water city, and the human spark has been preserved."
This back-and-forth conversation, except for the parties involved, no one can understand.
Youxi and the other party had this secret conversation, firstly for communication, and secondly, of course, to be more certain of each other. But in fact, when Youxi asked the first question, Tang Yatong had already confirmed the other party.
She entered the system tower world with full preparation. Not only did she have space, points, and cards, but she also collected various weapons and water supplies in the space. Her starting point was originally higher than other taskers, so when others used their original appearance to save points, she never showed her true face in the system tower world or the task world.
This time, the endless train world was an exception. The space was gone, most of the supplies were gone, and the number of item grids was limited, so naturally she couldn't find the "identity mask" card to change her appearance.
So, at this moment in this world, she was using Tang Yatong's original appearance.
In the mission world, who else but Youxi can recognize her by her voice, figure and half of her face, and can clearly mention the world of Storm?
She opened her arms to the other party: "Smelly girl, why don't you come over and hug her!"
Youxi took a few steps forward and hugged her tightly.
The younger brothers behind Tang Yatong were dumbfounded and led their boss. What? Could it be that their boss really... likes this?
But thinking about it, it's not completely impossible. She is so strong and so cool. She hangs out with these big bosses all day, drinking, smoking, joking, fighting and robbing together - no, she trades with tourists. She doesn't look like a woman at all.
If she really likes pretty girls, the current scene seems to be quite harmonious...
Tang Yatong patted Youxi on the back twice and sighed in her heart.
If they were ordinary people in the same world, they could still contact each other through the mobile network even if they were far apart. If they were missionaries in the same system, they could still contact each other after returning to the system tower.
But the two of them were not only in completely different time and space, but also not bound to the same system. Once they left the mission world, it would be impossible for them to contact each other.
"Let's go! Let's go back and talk slowly!" Tang Yatong hooked You Xi and led her to the pickup truck. You Xi turned around and called Lin Wu, and Tang Yatong immediately shifted her attention to the latter.
I didn't know that the other party was You Xi just now, so naturally I didn't pay much attention to her companion. At this moment, the other party also took off the glider suit, revealing his face and figure. Tang Yatong immediately looked him up and down carefully.
After a moment, she showed an intriguing smile, hooked Youxi again, and said to her: "You have a good eye and a nice figure."
Youxi: ...
Lin Wu: ...
**
Tang Yatong arrived here thirty days earlier than them. Thirty days ago, the desolate land was still an A-level station. There
were strange black reptiles on the platform, various dangerous creatures that constantly attacked passengers at night, lack of all food and water, and terrible giant worms hidden in the Death Sand Sea area that must be passed from the Red Rock Gobi area to the northern high wall. There were also extremely cruel aborigines wandering around the underground city on the west side of the Death Sand Sea. Almost all the passengers passing by would be robbed by them.
As the saying goes, "This road is built by me. If you want to pass this road, you have to leave money to buy the road." Robbery has become a part of the life of the aborigines. It is their livelihood skill.
Generally speaking, there are two situations in robbery. One is that the aborigines crush the enemy who is weak and helpless, rob the enemy and scatter like birds and beasts; the other is that the aborigines are outnumbered and cannot defeat the enemy, so they scatter like birds and beasts. Sometimes, if they are unlucky, some people will be injured or even killed.
In short, this way of making a living is not easy, but it is a habit, and no one has ever thought of changing it.
As for the outsiders who are robbed by them, whether they succeed or not, they will leave quickly.
The change happened thirty days ago. Tang Yatong, who was traveling alone, was surrounded and robbed by them. As a result, she beat all the aborigines by herself.
According to past practice, the aborigines scattered, and the outsiders successfully broke through, bypassed the death sand sea, and went to the high wall in the north to find the hidden station to leave.
But Tang Yatong did not leave. She followed the aborigines to the underground city where they lived, figured out all the situations in the vicinity, and stayed to become the king of the cottage - no, it was the president of the mutual aid association.
The aborigines were very "enthusiastic" about her joining (because they couldn't beat them), and they also "recognized" the reforms she proposed (because they couldn't beat them), but they soon discovered that because of her presence, their living standards rose sharply.
In just seven or eight days, they were willing to call her the boss. They knew she was also an outsider and would leave one day, but as long as she was there, she was their boss.
In this way, the aboriginal stronghold that originally blocked the necessary passage and made a living by robbing became a post where travelers could rest and spend the night as long as they were willing to pay some supplies. The travelers did get help.
Five days ago, Tang Yatong received a message that the level of the desolate land had been reduced from A to B.
"The people at this station know that there are outsiders, and they also guard a shortcut from here to the northern high wall. The passengers passing through here are all trying to find the hidden station one day earlier and to survive. As long as we can take out what the other party needs, the transaction can be completed."
Tang Yatong led Youxi and Lin Wu to walk through the ruined rock pillar corridor and headed towards the secret entrance of the ancient building ruins.
According to Tang Yatong, they barter here. In the first few days, they could only provide water and a floor for a night's rest, but there were passengers passing by here every day. Different passengers had different needs and carried different supplies.
Their base is equivalent to a material coordination station. For example, if they use water to exchange for food from a traveler, they can use part of the food to exchange for weapons from another traveler. Weapons can enhance the strength of the indigenous people, and can also be taken to the high wall in the north to trade with the people inside the wall.
"People inside the wall?" Youxi stopped.
"Well, the wasteland is divided into inside and outside the wall. The south of the black wall is outside the wall, and the north is inside the wall. The high wall protects the people inside the wall from being attacked by various dangerous creatures in the desert, and the indigenous people outside the wall are the descendants of the exiles and are not protected."
Tang Yatong has been here for 30 days and has already learned all the details of this station.
Youxi followed her again, through a seemingly ordinary cave on the rock wall, and entered the passage of the underground city.
Almost at the same moment she stepped in, her mobile phone vibrated.
She took it out to check, and the countdown on it had been replaced by a new message.
Tip: The Easter egg fragment has been sensed (it is the most precious gem in the world of poverty), and the countdown to enter the fragment collection: 23 hours, 59 minutes and 46 seconds
Youxi: ! !
**
This underground city is part of an ancient ruins. The buildings on the ground have long been eroded by wind and sand into broken stones and tiles in the long river of history.
The underground part has also mostly collapsed due to disrepair. The remaining part is now well preserved because there is a clear spring at the bottom of the center, and the aborigines have been carefully maintaining it for many years.
Youxi half-crouched in front of the spring for a moment, and reached out to touch the ground and water near the spring, but the phone did not respond.
"Do I have to complete the hidden mission to activate this Easter egg function?" Tang Yatong's Easter egg function was inactive, just like Lin Wu's.
"No, Lin Wu and I completed the hidden mission together, but he activated his second skill: space." Youxi stood up from the water's edge, "The precious gems mentioned in the hint should not refer to the clean water source. Let's go, let's talk somewhere else first."
This pool of clean water of the indigenous people is the foundation of their survival. Even though Tang Yatong is their boss now, it is not appropriate for them to talk nearby.
After a while, Tang Yatong took them back to the top of the underground city. It was a medium-sized rock cave with small holes on the top for ventilation. It was breathable and warm. Dangerous creatures in the wilderness could not get in. It was a good place to rest.
Like Lin Wu, Tang Yatong had talked to her before entering the world of the endless train.
When she met Lin Wu, Youxi had actually guessed from his words, but such a guess was too idealistic after all, so she never said it out loud.
But now that she saw Tang Yatong, she was sure that she was also a passenger, and after the three of them compared their stay time, they found that everyone's remaining time was exactly the same.
This also means that they will board the train on the same day and leave the deserted land.
Youxi took out her phone, and a moment later, she and Lin Wu had a new team member: Youqi.
Youqi.
Tang Yatong used the name of Youxi's sister, her best friend in the Meteor Apocalypse.
"I don't know why I used this name this time. I never used it in the previous mission world. In fact, my situation is similar to Lin Wu. When I woke up, I was already in the station. The bound weapon became a skill, the space was gone, the points of the material card were gone, and the item slot was full of weapon defense cards and some simple food and water."
Fortunately, her bound weapon had been upgraded to the top level and had unlimited bullets, which allowed her to kill her way out in the first station: Hope City.
