Chapter 284: Speeding North
At the same time, all the passengers in the station received the same news.
This time, there were not many people cursing.
Heavy rain, worsening infection, and the evacuation of the entire city of Fran, under such circumstances, the station level was upgraded from A to S, and most people were mentally prepared. Even in the eyes of some experienced passengers, it was rare that the level changed today.
Many veteran passengers have shields and protective suits, but the shields have a limit on the number of times and duration, and the protective suit cannot be worn normally.
There are almost no people like Youxi who happened to go to the S-level station "Fairy Tale Park" and happened to trigger the "special field" of the night amusement park and complete the game at the same time.
Therefore, even among veteran passengers, the glass tree house with high defense properties and no limit on the number of times it can be used is an extremely rare prop.
When the heavy rain caused the bacteria to mutate and the whole city was plagued, many veteran travelers almost couldn't bear it. In those two nights, not to mention eating and sleeping, even if they occasionally sat down to rest for a while, they would be attacked by parasitic rats at any time.
It can be said that most of the travelers have personally experienced the increase in difficulty. Now when the mobile phone sends a prompt, the travelers just look at the mobile phone and continue to be busy with their own things.
For Youxi and his group, the only problem they are worried about after the difficulty upgrade is the hidden station.
Xiyuan: I have used up the opportunity to confirm twice. Now there is a new clue, but someone needs to come to confirm it.
Tang Yatong: Okay, I will come with Zhenzhen right away!
After Tang Yatong and You Zhenzhen joined together, they also did several tasks together. One of them has high attack and the other has high defense. No matter how bad the situation in the city is, as long as they cooperate, they can deal with it.
So they would not act separately. Usually one person would help another person complete the task, and then the other person would take up the task. After doing this several times, they successfully obtained the ticket.
After receiving the news that the difficulty of the station had increased, they had already planned the route. Tang Yatong was still driving, and You Zhenzhen turned on the shield to protect the car and tires. No matter whether they encountered fungus parasites or passengers blocking the road, they would all be bombarded to clear the way.
You Xi also said that they would not wait. They were originally in the east of the city. At dawn, they walked out of the city with Lin Wu, and then drove through the wooded area in the eastern suburbs to bypass the city and head north.
There are fewer people in the suburbs, and fewer fungus parasites. Unlike the city, which is full of blood, flesh, and pus, the ground should still be drivable. If the road conditions are really bad somewhere, Lin Wu can temporarily turn on the shield.
He has few defense card points left, so he has been very careful in using them these two days.
Fortunately, he opened a treasure chest before and got a flamethrower that can use ordinary fuel. At the same time, he used the copy skill to copy one and placed it in Youxi's space. Otherwise, the two of them would not dare to accept the mission these days.
Youxi immediately thought of something: "You have 2 copy skills left, right?"
"Yes."
"Can the copy skill directly copy the defense card bound to the weapon?"
Lin Wu's expression was slightly surprised. He really had never thought of such an operation before.
But even if he wanted to try, he would not use his own defense card, because there were not many points in it. However, Tang Yatong had a defense card with a large amount of points. He thought that he could copy her defense card after the meeting.
"In fact, there is an easier way." You Xi thought again, "You can try to copy Zhen Zhen's electric baton directly."
Lin Wu: ... ! !
If successful, it means having a second infinite shield.
Talking about this, Lin Wu and You Xi were very excited, and both couldn't wait to meet with others. So, after the two of them had dinner, You Xi brewed two large cups of drip coffee and began to plan tomorrow's travel route according to the previously downloaded map of Frank City.
How to leave the city, how to go north, which road to take, try to plan it as detailed as possible, and at the same time keep a backup route. Anyway, there are cars and boats (rubber dinghies) in Youxi, and the last section can be done by water (Fran Lake) if you don’t want to go there.
After planning the route, Youxi thought about Ron again, so he briefly talked about it in the group.
Youxi: ...I can be 100% sure that the Kao at this station is Ron at the Paradise Island station. My current guess is that if the stations in the Endless Train World are regarded as data copies, the natives living in these copies are all implanted with settings and memories and then put in. Ron’s appearance at this station may be related to the closure of Paradise Island due to the high threshold, but this is just a guess. In addition, there is another guess, will the way for us to get rid of the endless train mode be in these NPCs? Therefore, from now on, everyone can pay attention to the indigenous people around you to see if there will be people who have been seen at other stations. Of course, this possibility is very small... because the NPC only needs to modify a little data to present a completely different appearance. Ron may just be an accident...
Tang Yatong: Don't worry, whether it is or not, we will pay attention to it. After all, this is also a direction to track down. Otherwise, if we continue to go to one station after another like this, we really don’t know when we can reach the final station.
You Zhenzhen: Mom, you should rest early. We are already on the way to the town of Aoduo. If we confirm the station, we will tell you as soon as possible.
Xiyuan sent a string of "..." in the separate chat box between him and Youxi. After Youxi replied with a "?", he sent another message after a long while: Don't chat with Lin Wu anymore, go to bed early...
Youxi: I was already asleep, but you woke me up with this message, hehe.
Xiyuan: Woo...
**
Youxi woke up on time at dawn the next day. After washing up, she changed into a T-shirt and sports pants for easy movement, and then put out various foods on the bar.
Beef cheese burger, chicken steak sandwich (Tang Yatong version), Queen coffee, orange juice, cocoa milk tea, chicken soup wonton, fresh bone soup noodles, spicy beef noodles, crab meat steamed buns... Chinese and Western food, everything is available for you to choose.
"Eat well in the morning, then open the protective suit. It will be inconvenient to eat and drink all day. You have to meet with others before you can eat. Eat more so you won't be unable to walk."
Lin Wu was used to You Xi's style. He chose the breakfast he wanted and asked her to put away the rest.
The two of them sat in front of the bar, looking at the city of Fran outside the glass and eating breakfast together. The rain outside had stopped, and there was a little light in the eastern sky. Both of them felt that the sun should come out today.
The sun will evaporate the moisture mixed with pus on the ground, which will make the road easier to walk.
Lin Wu looked at the messy city outside. From their perspective, the streets were full of exploded flesh and blood. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as corpses everywhere.
Last night was the most peaceful night’s sleep he had in the past few days. Having a tree house that he can carry with him really gives him a great sense of security psychologically.
"Maybe we can try to copy the tree house props today." Youxi saw his idea.
Lin Wu nodded: "Well, let's wait until everything is integrated."
At 6:30, the two people put on breathing masks and turned on "self-cleaning protective clothing" without carrying anything outside. They went into battle lightly, climbed from the top of the parking lot to the inside, and then left along the driveway.
As soon as the two appeared on the street, several fungus parasites that were originally wandering on the street walked towards them.
Youxi held Lin Wu's arm, said "get ready", and then started running.
She controlled the running speed within the range that Lin Wu could bear, half dragging and half carrying him, and quickly led him to the eastern suburbs along the route they had explored yesterday.
In fact, they could go faster - if Lin Wu was willing to let her carry him on her back, but this proposal was just made and Lin Wu rejected it with an embarrassed look on his face.
The speed was already very fast now, and he really couldn't accept the scene of himself being carried on You Xi's back...
Along the way, in addition to the fungus parasites, they also met passengers.
Most of the passengers just glanced at them quickly and continued to busy themselves with their own things, perhaps doing tasks for tickets, or looking for their companions.
There were also passengers with unclear minds who coveted their protective clothing, took out weapons, or used skills to stop them.
Youxi usually took out heavy weapons and fired directly. After the attack, when the other party wanted to continue to pester, he took out the loudspeaker and shouted at the other party: "This station has been upgraded to S level and will be closed at any time. Are you ready to die if you don't find the station?"
There are indeed not many passengers who have experienced the closure of the station. Most of the passengers who will be intercepted are not new or old passengers. They don't have enough information and will be stunned when they hear it.
And Youxi took advantage of this opportunity to run away with Lin Wu.
When they were about to leave the city, Lin Wu, who looked pale, realized that You Xi's words in the morning, "Eat more, so you won't be unable to walk," were not an excuse to enjoy a rich breakfast. He was really running out of energy...
You Xi realized, "Do you really not want me to carry you?" "
..." Lin Wu panted, "No, no..."
You Xi nodded, holding Lin Wu's arm tightly with one hand, and quietly supporting his back with the other hand, so as to push him and lend him some strength.
At the same time, she was also planning in her mind that when she could contact Xing Min, she would have to buy a bunch of anti-sugar pills to push up the physical fitness of all her little friends.
**
At about eight o'clock in the morning, the two of them ran for an hour and a half and successfully left the city of Fran and arrived at the eastern suburbs. According to the plan, they put the jeep on the driveway and drove on the road.
Not long after, You Zhenzhen sent a message in the group, saying that after consuming Tang Yatong's two confirmation opportunities and her one confirmation opportunity, they finally determined the location of the hidden station.
You Zhenzhen: ...This time the station has just been built, and it is one of the entrances and exits of the defense wall of Aoduo Town. I don’t know how other passengers confirmed the station before. However, Xiyuan said that this was originally the entrance to a square. It is possible that previous passengers only needed to confirm the entrance to the square...
Tang Yatong: We plan to stay in Xiyuan’s villa in Aoduo Town in the future. His villa is not big, but there are several trees on the lawn behind. Your tree house can be placed there. If the situation in the town starts to get worse, we can go into the tree house to rest at night.
Xiyuan: You probably can't enter the town now, you need to have a full body check and quarantine first. But now the troops' equipment has been improved by experts and researchers, and quarantine only takes four hours. Zhenzhen and Yatong have already obtained the passes, and they are waiting for you.
...
The group was full of good news, which gave Youxi more motivation. The two of them went north along the maple forest driveway. The road was just as she expected, and the road condition was not bad.
On the way, they passed by several shelters and bypassed them from a distance.
Before arriving at the town of Oduo, they still used rubber boats because they had to bypass a large shelter. Lake Fran is very large. Fortunately, Lin Wu prepared the tools carefully and bought the propulsion engine together with the paddles, which saved them a lot of trouble.
They collected the car, released the rubber boat, crossed the lake, collected the boat, and released the car.
At nearly one o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at the town of Aoduo.
There were more guardrails here than in all the shelters they had seen before. The troops and vehicles were everywhere along the way, delivering batches of supplies into the town, and also carrying batches of people who arrived here for inspection and isolation.
Before arriving at the town, Youxi released a car that he had found randomly on the road, then put away the "self-cleaning protective suit", and he and Lin Wu changed into ordinary chemical protective suits, and then each took out a backpack.
Lin Wu drove the last section of the journey. Youxi sent a message to his good friend "Lu Yong", telling him the location of the hidden station and the need to obtain an entry and exit pass.
Lu Yong was not like Xiyuan, who had the right time and place, so although he guessed that the station might be near the town of Aoduo, he didn't get there for a while and couldn't confirm it. The other party was very surprised and grateful to suddenly receive the news from the station.
Youxi: You're welcome, courtesy is reciprocity, best wishes.
Afterwards, because Xiyuan was there to pick them up, the two of them were successfully tested and began to be isolated at the same time.
