Chapter 256: Strange Land
Su Heng woke up from a deep sleep.
He hadn't had such a sweet dream for a long time.
He dreamed of a normal life before the end of the world. Everything that seemed normal before is now an unattainable luxury.
Su Heng slowly opened his eyes; his look was still a little dazed. The moment his brain regained its normal thinking ability, he suddenly jumped up from the bed.
What is this place!
He touched his right leg and found the dagger was still on his body, which made him feel a little more confident.
Strange environment, strange everything.
The house was made of wood and had some strange decorations hanging around it. The air was very humid, and the stench that always lingered at the tip of my nose had a fishy and damp smell.
“Boohoo…”
The sound of waves reached my ears.
red sea.
Su Heng looked at the ocean outside the window.
After the end of the world, he had never been to the seaside, but he did not expect that the entire sea had turned into a permeable red, like a permanently scarlet night sky.
What is going on?
His memory was still stuck on the random transmission scroll that Li Shouyun threw to him.
The memory ends here.
What went wrong during the transmission?
He used a scroll of random teleportation once, and it didn't make people unconscious.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
Just when Su Heng was puzzled, footsteps were heard from outside. Su Heng subconsciously took out a dagger and smashed it at the girl who came in. However, the dagger finally stopped in front of her temple and did not pierce her skin.
The girl has no fighting ability.
Whether it's the movement of the limbs, the reaction to an attack, or the sound of the flawed footsteps.
All of this shows that the girl is not a combatant.
"Who are you?"
The girl was startled and finally calmed down from her shock. Looking at Su Heng who was threatening her with a dagger in his hand, a fire surged out of her chest.
However, she didn't do anything extreme, just her tone became a little bad.
"Anyway, we gave you a place to stay and medical treatment, and this is how you repay the people who saved your life?"
"It's very dangerous to save people without permission. If you save a bad guy, everyone here will die. What kind of place is this? Is there anyone else here besides me?" Su Heng was unmoved, but he pulled the dagger out a little, but still guaranteed to kill the girl in an instant.
He knew it was wrong to do so, and he also knew the girl had no ill intentions. Not only did she not reveal where she lived, and he didn't know if she had ever received any treatment, the fact that his equipment was not stripped off was enough to prove that these people had no intention of harming him.
But the experience he gained from living in the apocalypse for a long time told him that this was the most correct approach.
"You have several companions. One of them, Li Shouyun, is outside. You can go find him." The girl said unhappily.
Hearing Li Shouyun's name, Su Heng felt relieved a little.
Although Li Shouyun has some problems with his brain, he is strong enough and will never give up or backstab his teammates no matter what the situation.
With these guarantees, hearing that Li Shouyun is here is good news.
When Su Heng asked the questions, he was actually quite worried. It would be troublesome if they were teleported to different places.
All we need to do now is check the status of the others. If there is no problem, everyone should return to the Joint Forces Headquarters as soon as possible.
Without them, the team's combat effectiveness would definitely be greatly reduced, especially since the team was attacked by the Intestine Gang once, it must be very difficult now.
As for the people who provided them with shelter.
He is not a person who does not know how to repay a favor. The two sub-legendary items are enough to make up for it, or even exceed this favor.
Su Heng walked out of the wooden house quickly. The environment outside was quite primitive. Except for some sofas that were moved from somewhere, he felt like he had traveled back in time hundreds of years.
All you can see are wooden houses and furniture, pure primitiveness. The ground is all sand, the sun shines directly down, and the high temperature and humidity make people feel quite uncomfortable.
Su Heng looked around and soon found Li Shouyun, who was sitting cross-legged in the shade and chatting with several people. When his eyes swept over the woman facing Li Shouyun, Su Heng's brows twitched slightly.
It wasn't that the woman's appearance was beautiful enough to cause a change of emotions in him; his focus was on the faintly glowing mark on the right side of the woman's neck.
He also has this mark. About two months after the end of the world, he found a treasure chest that was emitting light. The condition for opening it was to throw a large amount of equipment into it. Fortunately, there was no quality requirement. It took him a long time to collect hundreds of pieces of junk equipment. Fortunately, the final reward made him feel that the busyness during that period was worth it.
Two high-quality sub-legendary equipment with no wearing requirements helped him get through the most difficult times. Although they had been replaced long ago, if he didn't have those two pieces of equipment, he might have died somewhere, let alone become one of the stronger ones among everyone today.
In addition to these two pieces of equipment, the treasure chest also left something, a mark, which had no attributes and could not be scanned to reveal any information. After he took out the equipment, the treasure chest turned into blue light particles that gathered in his chest.
He instinctively felt that there was a secret with huge benefits behind the imprint.
It's a pity that he never encountered a similar treasure chest again after that, and the number of seals naturally remained the same.
He now has two guesses.
Either the seals need to be stacked to a certain number of layers, that is, enough treasure chests need to be opened, and then the mission will naturally be unlocked.
Or the mission will only be initiated if the person with the mark goes to a certain location or gets something specific to meet the prerequisites for the mission to be initiated.
While Su Heng was thinking, the woman with the mark on her neck saw him and said to Li Shouyun, "Your friend has woken up."
Li Shouyun turned around and saw that it was Su Heng. He was not surprised at all: "As expected, you woke up first, just as I guessed."
After hearing what Li Shouyun said, Su Heng stopped thinking about the angel mark. He walked to Li Shouyun and asked, "I'm a little confused about the situation now. What's going on?"
"I just have a guess. At the last moment before we were teleported away, the people from the Intestinal Gang attacked us, and several magic spells were teleported away at the same time. We were probably attacked during the teleportation process, so we fell into a coma after being teleported out." Li Shouyun guessed.
"You're unconscious too?"
"No, my skills are still activated, but I have suffered some injuries. However, I will recover quickly and will wait here for you to wake up." Li Shouyun replied.
"How long have we been unconscious?"
"Not long, about two hours."
Su Heng let out a sigh of relief.
Luckily it was only two hours.
The situation with the coalition forces and the elite team should be okay. If they were to remain unconscious for ten days or half a month, the situation would be unimaginably bad.
