Chapter 67
As he spoke, Pei Zhao saw Sudi put on a cold face and said to a young woman who was about to cross the road, "Good afternoon."
"Good afternoon. You look handsome." The woman turned around and raised her hand to cover her mouth after seeing Sudi's face, but she still admired him. "You look like a character in a book. Your hairstyle is interesting."
Sudi raised the corners of his lips, bowed slightly and said, "I'm attending an event nearby, but I can't seem to find the location. Would it be convenient for me to ask you for a map?"
The woman covered her mouth and smiled elegantly, "Of course, polite sir."
The woman raised her wrist and clicked. Pei Zhao observed that there was nothing on her wrist, but after a few clicks, light green words appeared on the skin of her wrist.
Pei Zhao was secretly surprised. Is this the future? Watches...oh no, mobile phones have evolved to this level.
But Sudi doesn't have these devices. Pei Zhao turned his gaze to Sudi, wondering how he would respond.
Sudi suddenly covered his wrist with a painful expression. The woman was startled.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Sudi shook his head and said apologetically, "It's okay... Ha, I'm really sorry. I've been injured recently. Can you print it out for me?"
The woman looked a little suspicious, but seeing that Sudi kept covering her wrist and occasionally making sounds of pain, she nodded, looked around, and finally pointed to the other side of the street: "Okay. Let's go to the other side of the street. There is a printer there."
Pei Zhao followed the two people across the road. From a distance, he saw a thin-looking device with an LCD screen on the opposite side of the road.
Pei Zhao was secretly shocked: Have printers in the future world become like this? But this device looks too advanced. If it only has printing function, isn’t it a bit of a waste of resources?
It was not until he walked to the machine that Pei Zhao saw the words on it: Full Printing/Normal Printing.
While Pei Zhao was still wondering about the difference between the two, Sudi had already skillfully clicked on "Full Print". He also said to the woman: "Please."
The woman put her wrist against the screen, and after a "beep", a complete map appeared on the screen, which dazzled Pei Zhao.
It's too crowded... I don't even know where I'm looking for.
The woman asked, "Which part do you want to print?"
Sudi pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a while, then turned around and frowned and asked Pei Zhao: "By the way, where are we going?"
Pei Zhao reacted very quickly, and quickly put on a thoughtful expression, "I... I also forgot what it was called, ah, what was it..."
Sudi turned around and said to the woman apologetically, "This is really a headache. How about you help me print all the maps first? Thank you very much."
"The entire map?" the woman was surprised.
"Ah, as a thank you, I have an invitation to a royal banquet. I think it's the perfect apology gift." Sudi said, and without waiting for the woman to refuse, he put the invitation close to the woman's wrist. After a drop sound, the invitation disappeared out of thin air!
"An invitation to a royal banquet!" the woman exclaimed, "Are you really going to attend an event? A royal event?"
She asked this question, but her hands moved quickly. It was obvious that the invitation letter greatly satisfied her. Before Sudi could formulate a response, the woman had already finished the operation. While waiting for the machine to print, the woman clicked on the watch again to appreciate the invitation.
"It's a real royal invitation." The woman exclaimed, "It's very difficult to get. Are you... of such a high status?"
The woman probably didn't even wait for an answer to the previous question, and was just expressing her inner joy at this moment. Sudi simply smiled at her and officially evaded the question: "It's more suitable for a beautiful lady."
With a beep, a thin synthetic board was ejected from the device. The woman handed it to Sudi, "Here, a map. You can come to me next time you need something like this, handsome guy."
Sudi smiled as he dealt with the woman, then calmly handed the composite board to Pei Zhao, breathing a sigh of relief, "Okay, take a look."
Pei Zhao took the composite board and wanted to ask why they had to let him look at a map. Wasn't he unfamiliar with the place?
Unexpectedly, when he took it, his eyes widened. No one told him that the printed map was three-dimensional!
Not only is it three-dimensional, but you can also see every detail of the street and buildings, and you can even zoom in and out. The most amazing thing is... Pei Zhao enlarged their location to the maximum extent, and could even see two people standing on the side of the road.
It was a pity that his faces could not be seen clearly, but Pei Zhao knew that the two figures represented him and Sudi.
"This is amazing, how did you do that?"
"The clothing positioning chip can detect everyone's location in real time." Sudi raised an eyebrow, "But the Administration basically doesn't use this technology anymore, thinking it's too backward."
"This is still behind..." Pei Zhao said in a low voice.
Pei Zhao looked at the synthetic board over and over again. In their world, it was unknown how many years it would take for this technology to develop. Pei Zhao really couldn't understand how such a small piece of board could carry such a high load.
"Okay, let's check where we're going. Um, search for the host, that should be it."
Pei Zhao followed Sudi's instructions, entered the host in the search interface, clicked search, and after a few seconds of jumping, a small building appeared on the interface.
It is said to be short. It is more than half shorter than the entertainment facilities building next to it. Pei Zhao said "Eh" and asked, "Is the place where the host is stored so small?"
Sudi just took a look and said, "It's just a host. Besides... a building that is too tall is prone to harboring dirt. The smaller the building, the easier it is for them to guard it."
That's true.
Just as Yu said, the population of the main world had been reduced by more than half, but the number of pedestrians visible on the streets still surprised Sudi.
"What kind of policy has left only these few people in the main world... It's so weird."
We soon arrived at the host's location. Due to population movement, there were only two guards near the host shown on the map.
Moreover, the two were very far away from the host, so far that Pei Zhao suspected that even if they rushed over and used the host to resurrect, the two would not have time to rush over to stop them.
But Sudi quickly stopped him: "Don't do anything unplanned. The tracking technology they have is far beyond your imagination."
Sudi did not fully understand the technology of the main world and did not dare to act rashly.
"Let's find a way to get close to the host. I'll use spatial pause. I'll isolate you from the range and you can operate it."
"But I can't..."
"Find a way to operate it." Sudi said sternly. In the surprised eyes of Pei Zhao, Sudi softened his voice, "I haven't operated it either, but time is limited. I'm afraid we only have this one chance, so, Pei Zhao, seize it."
They tried their best to get closer to the host computer, and at the same time observed the positions of the two supervisors on the tablet. When there was a slight sign, Sudi saw that the distance was almost the same, and immediately used the space pause.
The scope and people covered will be separated into a time and space for a short period of time, and everything that happens during this period will not be recorded by anything except the parties involved.
But this ability is extremely costly, and the greater the impact on reality, the greater the harm to the user. Therefore, Sudi hardly ever uses this ability, and only uses it for some insignificant things, such as dressing up as level 13 when he makes his debut.
But at this moment, under the countless surveillance cameras, Sudi felt tremendous pressure when he just used his ability.
"Fifteen minutes, Pei Zhao, I can only last fifteen minutes at most."
Sudi gritted his teeth and said that the speed at which his energy was being lost told him that he could only last fifteen minutes at most, and would not be able to gather strength or use skills for a long time.
"Okay." Pei Zhao immediately turned around and ran towards the host.
Sudi looked at his back and tried to take a step forward, but due to the rapid consumption of energy, he felt dizzy instantly.
Sure enough, it still doesn’t work.
Sudi smiled bitterly, took out the star that he always wore around his neck, and held it in his hand.
The hope burning in his eyes flickered, and Sudi wanted to call Pei Zhao.
But he knew that 15 minutes was the limit for reviving three people...
Sudi walked closer step by step despite the dizziness, hoping to step into the room within fifteen minutes.
At least, at least don't miss this opportunity.
…
Pei Zhao took off the necklace and held it in his hand while running. The three elements in the ice box lay there quietly.
When he arrived in front of the main computer room, Pei Zhao discovered that the reason why it looked small on the map was because half of the main computer room was underground.
There are several steps leading down from the door. Pei Zhao walked in step by step, and could only hear his heart beating hard.
The main engine room was filled with sunlight, and because no one had been there for years, the floor was covered with a thick layer of dust. Pei Zhao stepped down and a footprint appeared on the ground.
Soon, the host was in sight.
It was a silver-white machine, like an old-fashioned podium. The only difference is that the table top is not made of wood, but a large screen. There was also a layer of dust on the screen.
Pei Zhao fumbled around on the machine, and soon he found a switch under the table.
Pei Zhao pressed the switch without hesitation.
The screen lit up, with a black frame in the center and a line of reminder words around it.
[Single resurrection, once every fifteen minutes.] 】
Pei Zhao's excited face suddenly froze.
Fifteen minutes?
...That is to say, he has to choose one of the three.
The ice box lies in the palm of my hand, and the leaves of the small green buds are swaying.
Pei Zhao had already made up his mind, but he couldn't be so selfish.
How much he wanted Zhou Yuli to be resurrected immediately, but it was impossible. He told himself that he couldn't be that selfish.
Fifteen minutes are up.
Sudi used up all the energy stored in the watch and gained five minutes. Pei Zhao returned to him dejectedly, without the expected excitement and joy. Sudi asked, "Where are they?"
Pei Zhao shook his head: "...Here."
Pei Zhao handed out a puppet from behind.
Sudi opened his mouth: "Only one?"
Pei Zhao nodded: "Yeah."
Pei Zhao clenched the ice box in his other hand, which was hidden behind his back. The little green buds inside were covered pitifully on a piece of ice crystal.
