Chapter 53 At the same time, the people in the strange area also found something wrong, because they could not contact the outside world...
At the same time, the people in the strange area also found something wrong because they could not contact the outside world.
Shen Yan hung up the phone that could not be connected, and tentatively called the Shuguang Bureau, but the call could not be connected either. Now she was sure that the problem was on her side, not on Shen's mother's side.
"Teacher, have we encountered the arrival of a strange domain?" A student looked at the teacher anxiously.
"That's impossible. How could that be? Maybe there's just a problem with the signal." Someone subconsciously refuted, unwilling to accept this possibility.
“But we can’t get through to the Dawn Bureau’s phone either. Even if there are problems with other signals, there is absolutely no way that there will be problems with the Dawn Bureau’s signal.” A student said with a bitter face. Because the Dawn Bureau is responsible for rescuing people who encounter strange situations, the Dawn Bureau’s contact method is unique and there will be no problems.
If something goes wrong, there is only one possibility: the strange domain has descended and completely isolated all signals.
"Then, what should we do if the strange domain comes?" a student asked blankly.
In fact, the textbooks teach how to save yourself after the arrival of the strange domain, and you can answer all the questions in the exams. However, a safe exam is incomparable to actually encountering the arrival of the strange domain, not to mention that the more you learn, the more you realize that the strange domain is dangerous.
Thinking that they were in a strange place at this moment, many people looked around with a little fear, fearing that a monster would jump out from somewhere and eat them all, or that the classmate next to them might be a monster in disguise.
Chen Yan was also a little flustered. The news about the Strange Territory that she had read before kept appearing in her mind. But when her fingers touched the bag she was carrying, she suddenly came to her senses and realized that she did have a way to protect herself.
The smell of garlic candy can not only ward off evil spirits and prevent them from sensing human breath, but also make them subconsciously repel people who eat garlic candy and avoid them subconsciously.
Even if there are many strange things in the strange domain, as long as you eat garlic candy, you should be able to avoid most of them.
And according to the textbooks, when it is impossible to distinguish the breath of some monsters, it is impossible to determine whether the other party is a human or a monster. So as long as you hold the candy in your mouth, even if you encounter a monster, you may be able to get away with it and escape from the weird area.
Clenching the garlic candies in her hand, Shen Yan looked at the classmates around her and hesitated. She brought five garlic candies and one diffuser stone, which were enough for herself, but if she wanted to help her classmates, she was afraid that she was not qualified.
Shen Yan took a step back, wanting to leave alone, but after taking just one step back and looking at her familiar classmates, she became hesitant again. If she just ran away like this, wouldn't the other students just have to wait to die here?
At this moment, the school broadcast suddenly sounded, and the intermittent crackling sound was a bit chaotic. Some students even thought that this was the sound caused by the arrival of the ghost, and confusion arose.
Fortunately, after a while of chaos on the broadcast, a voice suddenly came out: "Hello everyone, this is the Nanxi City Branch of the Dawn Bureau. According to observations, we have overlapped with a strange area, and the overlap is eastward..."
The existence of the Dawn Bureau made the students less panicked. Although the Dawn Bureau was also trapped in the strange domain, they always felt a little confident when they thought of the Dawn Bureau.
At the same time, elsewhere, people who could hear the radio station were listening quietly no matter what they were doing before.
The location reported by the Dawn Bureau surprised everyone else. The most difficult thing in the Strange Domain is to determine the escape route. No one knows how big the Strange Domain is. If you choose the wrong route and are very close to the edge but end up going deep into the Strange Domain, that would be too tragic.
Now, many people are looking at offline maps on their mobile phones. This is also a change in the map software after the advent of the strange domain. The map will be updated in real time and then downloaded locally to prevent any accidents due to lack of network when needed.
And now is the time to use this function.
When they found themselves very close to the edge of the strange area, some people were so excited that they shed tears and wanted to run quickly. However, they were afraid that if they left, they would not hear any news from the Dawn Bureau. After hesitating for a while, they decided to wait a little longer. Some people looked at the distance and chose not to delay and ran away directly. Who knows if they might encounter something strange if they waited one more second.
Among those who escaped, unless they had been together before and had never separated, even if they met on the road, no one called each other and they all ran away silently. After all, no one knew whether the person they met was weird or not.
Those who are in the center of the weirdness are a little desperate. If they want to escape, even by public transportation, it will take more than an hour, but the noise is too loud. If they walk, the noise will be smaller, but the speed is too slow and there is a high possibility of encountering weirdness.
After the Dawn Bureau introduced the location of the strange domain, they hesitated for a second and gave a self-rescue plan. Those who did not have garlic candy could only rescue themselves according to the self-rescue guide in the textbook. Those who had garlic candy could hold the candy in their mouths or rush out with the diffusion stones.
Don't have any communication with the weirdo, just rush out quietly. The people from the Dawn Bureau have already encountered the weirdo. When they were eating garlic candy, the weirdo saw them from a distance and dodged, which shows the effect of the garlic candy.
Finally, the Dawn Bureau announced three locations. If someone is unable to escape on their own, they can come here and they will pick them up there, but they cannot guarantee that they can take others away. It is more likely that there are too many people gathered and attracted strange attention.
"If possible, I hope people with garlic candy and diffuser stones can come too. If the garlic smell is strong enough, maybe it can keep the weirdness away."
After the last sentence was said, the radio fell silent.
"Teacher, shall we go?" a classmate asked.
The teacher was a little hesitant when listening to the broadcast. If they went to this place, they could get some protection from the Dawn Bureau, but the question was, could the Dawn Bureau really protect so many people when the strange domain descended? From what the broadcast said, the other party was also uncertain, so he suggested that others escape alone.
If I don't go and let these students walk alone, I always feel that their chances of survival will be smaller.
The most important thing is that the location announced by the Shuguang Bureau is very close to their school, just opposite the school, so why not just go there.
Seeing that the teacher also suggested that they go, the students acted quickly, left the classroom and ran to the square on the other side of the school. At this time, many people had gathered in the square, but the order was not chaotic.
Someone came over to register the situation and asked if there were any garlic candies and aromatherapy stones. Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, but still reported the garlic candies and aromatherapy stones she had brought with her. Soon someone took Chen Yan away.
"Everyone was called here because of the garlic candies and diffuser stones."
"We are going to use vehicles to transport all the people who have arrived. We will try to fit as many people as possible in the vehicles, so that we can ensure that every vehicle has people who have eaten garlic candy and also has aromatherapy stones." The visitor said quickly.
"So we are in urgent need of garlic candy, or people who have eaten garlic candy, so that we can distribute them to each car. I wonder how many people you are willing to allocate?"
In fact, when she was called over, Chen Yan had almost guessed the situation, but she thought that the Shuguang Bureau would directly collect the garlic candies, so she had already decided to hand in four garlic candies. As for the fragrance diffusion stone, she only had one, so she was reluctant to hand it in.
But now, although it is similar to the previous one, you can choose who to let eat garlic candy. Shen Yan quickly thought of four candidates in her mind, all of whom are friends with whom she has a good relationship.
She didn't dare to take it out before because she was afraid that it would arouse people's greed and she might not be able to keep anything. But with the Shuguang Bureau around, she naturally didn't have so many concerns.
Most of the people who were able to come to the square and report that they had brought garlic candy were ready to make a contribution. Some people directly reported that they had candidates, and then were taken away by the staff to prepare to feed candy.
Some people simply handed over the garlic candies because they didn't have any familiar friends or relatives here. Instead of giving them to strangers, it would be better to let the Dawn Bureau be responsible for the distribution.
Because everyone knew the situation was critical, garlic candy was distributed and the vehicles were prepared. Some were buses that could fit a lot of people. At this time, they didn't care about overloading. They could only squeeze as many people as possible in, and then let a tool to detect whether the garlic smell in the car could drive away some of the evil. If it was not enough, they would have to add more.
But even so, there was no way for everyone to pass through. There were still many people rushing here. Even if there were enough cars, there were so many people crammed into the cars that the garlic smell could not cover up the human scent.
"If it doesn't work, just give up on the others and let these cars go first. They can't wait too long." The director of the Shuguang Bureau branch said. As soon as these words came out, everyone else looked at him.
Everyone knows that this decision is not easy to make. It can even be said that if this decision is made, when other people go out, they will definitely be criticized and cursed by the public. Even if they know that this is a last resort, those who give up will definitely not survive. Can their relatives and friends accept this kind of forced giving up?
"Make another announcement. If you can't arrive within ten minutes, don't come again. There are no seats left." Although the words sounded harsh, the branch director still gave the order.
…
At this time, some people had already escaped from the strange domain, but even though they were out of the range specified by the Dawn Bureau, they still did not dare to stop and ran outside frantically. It was not until they saw the uniforms of the Dawn Bureau that they were sure that they had really escaped and burst into tears.
Although nothing seemed to happen along the way, I was worried every second about what to do if I encountered something strange. The farther I ran, the more afraid I was that I would fall at the door of success. Only after seeing the staff of the Dawn Bureau did I feel a little safe.
The people from the Dawn Bureau also knew that the other party had a mental breakdown, but they couldn't let him rest for too long, so they anxiously asked about the situation inside.
The other party quickly told the news broadcast by the Dawn Bureau.
Everyone present was a little excited. If those who were in the strange area knew the location and area of the strange area, they could determine the direction of escape. With just this information, no one knew how many people could be saved.
Just looking at the location of the strange area, everyone's heart became heavy again. The center of the strange area is the city center, and there are the most people in the center. It's good to escape from the edge, but if the people in the center can't escape...
Teams of rescue workers continued to arrive in Nanxi City and then entered the strange territory. The people outside watched and fell silent.
They don't know how many of the rescue team members will be able to get out. This may not only be a rescue but also a war. After all, there are too many people trapped inside and ordinary rescue may not be of any use.
When 1666 passed by Nanxi, he immediately realized that something was wrong. This city was supposed to be a human city, so how could it be tainted with the atmosphere of a strange world?
1666 Just by listening casually, he knew the situation in Nanxi City.
1666 has a slight liking for humans, but he is just a trash can monster. If a monster insists on jumping into his mouth, he can naturally eat it. But if the other party doesn't jump, he can't go over and eat it.
So he has no way to deal with the plight of mankind.
1666 sighed and went back to the farm. He had to go and collect the express deliveries for Ying Yuanxing so that they could be shipped, as well as return some of the deliveries.
There were not many viewers in the live broadcast room at this time. Everyone else was paying attention to the arrival of the strange domain in Nanxi City. Therefore, they didn’t feel anything when they saw 1666 appear, until 1666 hesitated for a while and told them about the situation in Nanxi City.
"The mysterious domain is coming?" The smile on Ying Yuanxing's face had not yet faded, but his eyes had already turned cold.
"Yes, so the express delivery from Nanxi City probably cannot be sent out." 1666 said. Humans were all running away, so they had no time to receive express deliveries. When he went to Nanxi City and looked for the place, the people were gone, so he could only come back with the express delivery.
"You went to Nanxi City, can you go there?" Ying Yuanxing asked 1666.
"Sure, but you may not be able to go there in the future because the address there will change." After the arrival of the strange domain, it will take some time to overlap with the Blue Star world. Before a certain period of time, the address will not change, but after a while, it will be a new place. The trash can weirdness also requires a confirmed location to go there.
Ying Yuanxing calmed himself down and looked at the lush garlic field outside the farm. It was still a day away from maturity. If he couldn't use skills to harvest it, the yield might be only half of what it was before, or even worse. But there was no other way.
Ying Yuanxing immediately told Xuanying's other clones to stop working and come directly to harvest garlic. Even Xuanying was assigned to do so by Ying Yuanxing.
"Please use more tentacles to help me dig up all the garlic." Ying Yuanxing looked at Xuanying and ordered, "I need you to help me harvest all the garlic within ten minutes."
"1666, I will give you ten portions of fodder. Please help me pass on a message that not many people gather in Nanxi City. Please notify the people from the Shuguang Bureau. I will put garlic on the shelves on Yuegou and ask them to place an order. Then you can help me deliver these express deliveries within five minutes." Ying Yuanxing spoke very quickly. He knew that time is money now.
His method can only be used when the Xia people are still gathering, because at this time, people's addresses are fixed, and the other party can receive the package only when the trash can weirdly finds them. Otherwise, everyone has run away, and the trash can weirdly cannot deliver the package.
It’s like when a courier delivers goods, but you are not at home and are running around everywhere. How can the courier possibly catch up with you?
Even if the courier is willing to chase, with so many people around, he would have to find a lot of weird trash cans to catch up.
The reward of ten portions of hay instantly cheered up 1666, and he disappeared in the farm in a flash.
Seeing 1666 leave, Ying Yuanxing checked his phone. Half a minute had passed, but there were still not enough people to harvest the garlic. Even though they could harvest it in a simple and rough manner, Ying Yuanxing first called Yuan Qing for help, and then immediately went to look for the Xue family. He didn't have time to look for anyone farther away.
The Xue family was soon hired by Ying Yuanxing to harvest garlic. Xue San looked at the garlic field with a bad complexion. He really had a traumatic experience with this garlic field.
But the reward given by Ying Yuanxing was too good to be true. If you harvested 100 pieces of garlic fields, you could get a piece of strawberry cake and a glass of carrot juice. The price was higher than mining, and obviously, this was a one-time business. If you missed this opportunity, you didn't know when you would have another chance.
[Host, are you trying to help the people of Nanxi City escape? ]
[Oh my god, this is still possible. Luckily the host reacted quickly, otherwise, if I delay for a while, I will miss this opportunity.]
[With so much garlic, even if it is not processed at all, it seems to be enough for the people trapped in Nanxi City]
「Aaaaaah, now I’m worried that if the people who have gathered set off now, we’ll miss this opportunity.」
[I hope the trash can weirdness can be solved faster and faster, so that the news can be notified as soon as possible]
Can’t we notify you now?
[No, after the arrival of the strange domain, news from the outside can't get through, and news from the inside can't get out. If the news can be transmitted, the strange domain won't be so scary.]
[It’s so sad. I hope everyone in Nanxi City can be safe and sound.]
[This is how the anchor suffered a huge loss. I took a look at the garlic. If it is not fully ripe, and it is not picked by the anchor, I think the yield is only half at most.]
[Not only that, the anchor's garlic was sold at a price of zero. He probably thought that the trapped people in Nanxi City had no money to buy garlic, which meant that he was not going to make any money from this batch of garlic.]
Will the state compensate?
[The state will definitely compensate, so everyone can rest assured]
The people from the Dawn Bureau looked at the scene in the live broadcast room and felt the pressure in their hearts eased a little. Although they shouldn't be too superstitious, they still couldn't help but pray, hoping that 1666 could deliver the message quickly.
1666 was very fast and delivered the message just as the humans at the Nanxi gathering point were about to leave.
"So, we just have to buy garlic now, and it will be delivered in five minutes?" The staff of the Shuguang Bureau said excitedly, looking at the strange look in the trash can with gratitude.
If it was some other strange thing that notified them, they might still be suspicious, but the strange thing about trash can No. 1666 often appears in Ying Yuanxing's live broadcast room, and it is too recognizable.
After confirming the news from 1666, the chief of the Shuguang Bureau branch immediately suspended the order to depart. The other vehicles that were ready to depart were a little anxious, not knowing what had happened.
Fortunately, there was a small radio on each car, and the news brought by 1666 spread quickly. The people present were ecstatic and opened the Yuegou app one after another. This online shopping platform produced by Savior Game was still available at this time, and Grandpa's farm had already put garlic on the shelves, with no limit on quantity, but the title reminded that it hoped that one person could buy one thousand pieces, so that the number of times 1666 had to run back and forth could be reduced.
After 1666 notified the three places, he soon received a reminder from the courier. He immediately returned to the farm and delivered the garlic.
The three regions quickly discussed it and, considering that everyone was on the bus, two people got off from each bus and took the garlic back to the bus when it arrived. The people who got off the bus were basically selected from those who had eaten the garlic candy, otherwise they would not dare to let them get off the bus casually.
Now they have been delayed in the strange territory for a while, and strange things may appear at any time.
Ying Yuanxing sent nearly a thousand pieces of garlic to each region. There was so much fresh garlic, almost without packaging, that the smell made every courier's trash can feel like vomiting.
"Brother, this garlic stinks!" 1888 was called by 1666 to deliver the goods. 1666 also knew that Ying Yuanxing was anxious, so after thinking about it, he decided to give some of the profits to 1888 and ask him for help.
This will save a little time.
"Okay, I'll give you half of the fodder. Is that okay now?" 1666 also knew that the smell of garlic was too strange to bear, so he changed the reward of one quarter of the fodder to one half.
Actually, 1888 was just complaining, but when he heard that 1666 had given him a raise, he immediately became happy.
Once the garlic was in hand, it was quickly distributed to each vehicle.
"Everyone, eat the garlic quickly. We don't have time to process it now. Eat it raw. As long as your body smells like garlic, it will drive away the weirdness."
Garlic was evenly distributed to everyone's hands. The garlic had just been pulled out of the soil and was even covered with dirt and dew, but no one cared and took a bite of it.
Garlic eaten raw has an extremely spicy taste, which can even cause discomfort in the eyes and nose, but no one complains because they all know that garlic is a life-saving treasure.
It can be said that if No. 1666 had not discovered Nanxi's situation and told Ying Yuanxing about it, they would not have had the chance to eat garlic.
The carriage was filled with the pungent smell of garlic, and even with the windows closed, the smell could be smelled out.
From afar, a strange creature smelled the scent of food and was about to come over, but was hit hard by the smell, feeling dizzy and running away with its back to the gathering point.
The Dawn Bureau has not tested the effect of a large amount of garlic smell gathered together. After all, they cannot buy so much garlic, and they are reluctant to use so much garlic for experiments.
And now, when the others get out, they will know the power of the condensed garlic.
The convoy was ready, and the order to set off was transmitted from the walkie-talkie in each vehicle. The vehicles started moving, and the noise they made immediately attracted a lot of strange attention.
Some of the smart monsters felt that something was wrong. After all, they had also heard other monsters talk about Blue Star. Humans were very afraid of the weird domain and only dared to act carefully in the weird domain. How could there be such a big commotion?
Some of the little monsters were so hungry that they lost their vigilance and went straight to the place where the noise came from. Because the noise was too loud, they realized that there was a lot of food there. Occasionally, when they came across snacks on the road, some monsters hesitated for a while before rushing over to eat them.
After all, eating snacks can easily waste time, and they can also feel that other people of the same kind are heading towards the food. If they are delayed on the way, they may not be able to catch up with the main meal.
When the scattered humans who were fleeing saw the strange thing, they thought they were finished, but they found that the other party looked at them with regret and then ran in one direction.
