Sister Lu
Chapter 69
Newcomers who have just come out of the stage will definitely like this place.
The city is large enough to be a small town close to a third or fourth level highway.
Many cars are parked on the roadside, representing a house, which is a feature of Challenge World.
It stretches all the way to the front, with no end in sight.
But to determine whether a city is prosperous or not, we must look at how many buildings it has.
Challenging the world to build infrastructure is actually a thankless task. After all, the space inside the car is large enough to accommodate many people living at the same time.
Even so, human beings' desire to own a piece of land and obtain real estate has not diminished.
In the end, when basic survival is guaranteed, people will be willing to buy property in a city.
Let’s talk about it later.
If you are in a relationship with someone in a different car and always bring your partner to your car, the driver will be unhappy.
So at least buildings like love hotels are a necessity.
Even though I have never seen what Supply Point No. 3 looked like when it was intact, but looking all the way from Supply Point No. 6, there are far more two- or three-story buildings than at Supply Point No. 3.
In the middle of the road, continuing forward, Mu Zhong was also explaining to the curious Liu Chengzhi: "Vehicles that park temporarily must go to the parking lot and pay the parking fee.
These cars on the roadside are different. They have property in their cars, so they are qualified to park on the road.
People who buy houses on Blue Star are called property owners, and the same is true in Challenge World. People who buy property in the city are also one of the owners of the city, so they are required to keep the lights on all night. As you can imagine, this is one of the property fees they pay.
Lighting up can drive away darkness. Without dark areas, wandering monsters won't spawn, and it's also a way to protect yourself."
“It’s like huddling together for warmth.”
Liu Chengzhi kept looking outside. When he said this, there was no derogatory tone in his voice and his eyes were very clear. He agreed from the bottom of his heart that this way of survival of looking out for each other.
Not long after the car drove forward, headlights shone from the opposite direction. As the distance between the two sides narrowed, the car on the opposite side suddenly stopped in the middle of the road.
Then the car door opened and several people got out in a hurry.
A tall and strong figure appeared within the range covered by Wei Huan's car lights.
"It's Captain Zhao!"
That was the male captain who fought against the monster siege together two days ago, the third-level real soldier.
He was also accompanied by the baby-faced spirit follower Xiaochun.
"Who am I talking about? Captain Wei! Captain Mu! And Xiao Liu, hello!" Captain Zhao laughed heartily upon seeing each other and extended his arms to greet Wei Huan, who had also gotten off the train. "That day was unforgettable. I've thought about you more these past two days than I have about my wife."
"I thought it would take some time before we met again, but I didn't expect you to come so soon." Captain Zhao hugged Wei Huan, "Come on, get in my car, and let me treat you well."
Wei Huan didn't refuse. The three of them got into Captain Zhao's car. After drinking a cup of tea, he said, "We're going to the third-level highway and we'll leave at dawn."
"So soon?" Captain Zhao said in surprise, "Yesterday at noon, the first batch of new talents who passed the assessment passed through the Illusion Wall. I heard that many of them agreed to stay at Base No. 3 to help with the reconstruction before returning."
Wei Huan nodded, of course he knew this.
The number of people in the chat room has now increased to more than 2,500. In addition to the challengers who have returned to challenge the world after the crisis has subsided, there are seventy or eighty of them who are newcomers who have passed the secondary highway assessment.
After the newcomers from District 1006 arrived at Supply Point No. 3, they all started speaking in the district channel.
Following Boss Wei's footsteps and hearing his legendary stories is such a wonderful feeling!
[I'm still struggling to survive, while Boss Wei has already started saving the city. Damn, is the gap too big?]
[I calculated with my fingers and knew that Boss Wei was no ordinary creature. He would transform into a dragon when faced with wind and clouds!]
In other areas, people compete openly and secretly, make sarcastic calculations, and occasionally curse in the chat room because of some disputes.
But in Area 1006, there is only one style in the chat room, with all kinds of flattery for their Boss Wei.
It’s not that the challengers are selfless, nor that everyone is naive.
The key point is that Boss Wei not only rectified the discipline, but also gave too much.
In short, the style of the chat room in Area 1006 is very strange. Anyone who sees it will have to wonder, is this a harmonious one, or is it a world challenge that people are afraid of?
Since the new challengers left the stage one after another, the chat room has become much more lively, including the national channel, which has more heated discussions than usual.
The old people in District 1006 talked about Wei Huan with the newcomers and the great things he had done since he came to the public area.
It doesn’t matter whether there are those who are not convinced among those who are speaking, because they are holding it in anyway. After all, do they have the ability to fight against the monsters besieging the city and save more than a hundred people?
Of course, the people on the bus were aware of these heated discussions.
Except for Liu Chengzhi, who was proud and excited with a flushed face, the other two behaved normally, doing what they were supposed to do, and talked about the third-level highway while eating.
So, after specifically mentioning the newcomers and seeing Wei Huan and Mu Zhong's dull expressions, Captain Zhao said, "That's right. The improvement you can get from the second-level highway is too small. The third-level highway is where you should go. With your strength, you can probably upgrade to the fourth-level vehicle in just one year at most."
Captain Zhao didn't know that they were about to go there to exchange supplies. It would probably take only one or two days, let alone half a year, to upgrade to a level four vehicle.
However, Captain Zhao still kindly reminded him and told him what he knew about the next situation.
“…From here, go across the third-level road and you will enter the public area directly, but you will also be automatically registered for the nearest third-level stage challenge.
By then, you may encounter vehicles in the country that have not completed the Level 3 challenge, both veterans and newcomers. Don't underestimate those veterans who have accumulated three to five years of experience on secondary roads. They are also very strong.
In addition, the third-level highway is hilly, and many passes are blocked by monster lords with their territories. The difficulty level is very high, so you must be careful.
The monster lord at the end of the stage is very powerful, usually a fourth-level lord. My suggestion is that you work as a team and act together. Not only will it be easier for you to pass the stage, but more challengers will also complete the assessment together."
After saying this, Captain Zhao slapped his head and said, "I almost died at that time. If I hadn't had the leader with me, I would have stayed in there forever.
In my opinion, the role of the leader in the third stage is more important. It’s a pity that some strong people are afraid of trouble and are afraid of dragging themselves down by leading others. This has led to a large backlog of challengers before our third stage.
If the government didn't hold a concentrated challenge every six months, the number of challengers remaining on secondary roads would probably be ten or even a hundred times higher than it is now."
After saying this, Captain Zhao smiled innocently, but everyone present understood what he meant.
I hope Wei Huan and the others won’t leave in a hurry. At least announce a challenge time and take as many people as possible with them.
When challenges come, some people take care of themselves, some blaze new trails, and some transform into giants, leading compatriots they may never have even met to overcome all obstacles together.
Can't say who is right or wrong.
But if everyone is a lone wolf who only cares about himself, it would be difficult for the human spirit to survive in such an apocalypse.
Helping each other is not just talk, the capable ones must be given the positions, and the leaders must take the lead.
Of course, those who "bring their families with them" are definitely not as free and easy as "lone wolves". Maybe "lone wolves" will even laugh at their stupidity.
But in this world, there is a group of people who are willing to give for irrelevant people.
Otherwise, how could you find these oasis supply points that allow you to sleep peacefully on the nights you challenge the world? How could you understand the feeling of being surrounded by monsters, and the legion's convoy shouting in the ruins at dawn, "Follow me, don't fall behind!"
Mu Zhong agreed most with Captain Zhao's words. He was a standard legion captain and had long understood what it meant to protect and what was his mission.
But this time he shook his head regretfully and said, "We have a more important task. We must enter the third-level highway tomorrow."
Captain Zhao's expression changed slightly.
The only thing more important than leading people to break through the third-level highway is saving people from danger and things ahead.
If there is anything that comes after the advent of the challenge world, it is above all else.
That is the "evolutionary battle" with the dark beasts, and the loser will inevitably be exterminated.
"So..." Captain Zhao wanted to confirm.
Mu Zhong smiled but said nothing.
Captain Zhao knew that this was a secret and he was not supposed to know it.
Captain Zhao then changed the subject, turned on the car's projection screen, checked the date, and said, "The latest Level 3 assessment is in three days. After you sign up tomorrow, you won't be able to prepare much. The Level 3 highway is currently the most suitable map for human survival and does not require special topographical maps.
But I suggest that you still prepare equipment and supplies against insects. It would be best if there is a prayer person in the car who can treat mosquito bites and stings.
In addition, as far as I know, this challenge will involve two veterans who have stayed on the second-level highway for five years. They are typical lone wolves, profit-driven and ruthless. The names of their drivers are Peng Zheng and Qi Jialu.
Peng Zheng is the boss of a mercenary organization. He is very successful in District 37 and even the authorities can't deal with him.
And Qi Jialu is in the next door 1008 area..."
…
District 1008
“Boom!”
A spark suddenly appeared in the dark night, flew to the end of the darkness, and fell to the ground, exploding into a large piece of sand and gravel.
In the charred soil, you can see the monster that was blown to pieces. It gasped briefly and quickly died.
Then, amid the explosion, a car drove out in a panic and rushed into the light ahead.
Not far ahead is a blue light shield. The constantly changing blue light blocks out the wind and sand. You can vaguely see a large green area and vehicles in the middle.
The moment the car saw the light shield, it slowed down and stopped politely. It did not drive in slowly until it saw a car coming from inside the light shield, looking harmless.
The light shield fell behind him, and there was silence in front.
Looking out, this is the oasis supply point closest to Highway 3, but there are no city walls, only cars parked in the oasis.
They gathered together and hid in the protective shield to avoid the wind and sand. Surrounded by the shield, they saw a bright red sports car in the middle, supporting the level 4 protective shield.
The level 4 protective shield was opened to the maximum, enclosing a safe area within a radius of 1 kilometer centered on the sports car.
Hundreds of cars drove into the protective shield and had to pay a hefty parking fee using their points immediately.
This car was no exception. Just as they were about to pay the usual 5 points, a man's voice rang out from the car blocking their way: "25 points."
"Why, why is it so high?"
"You lure the monster back, or we help you deal with it, what do you say? If you're not convinced, go ask Sister Lu."
When she was referred to as Sister Lu, her back bent even in the car.
The man didn't dare to dance in front of Sister Lu, so he paid 25 points with great reluctance before being allowed to pass.
The person on duty let the person pass, but the person sitting in the car at this moment was far from being as cold as he appeared.
In the cab of the second-level vehicle, two fully armed men smoked so many cigarettes that their ashtrays were almost overflowing.
The driver, the man with the drooping eyes, sat in the driver's seat and said gloomily, "Only 25 points are enough to buy your life, and you're still not satisfied. When we leave in two days, these people will have nowhere to die."
"That's right, 1008 is about to end, it's sad for the newbies."
"Not really. If we leave, the Legion will just come in and take over. Maybe it will be better."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." The person in the passenger seat exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Tell me, we're fine on the second-class highway, why do we have to go to the third-class highway?"
"Didn't Sister Lu say that? We've already entered the fifth-level highway, so we're going to move on to the third-level highway."
"I know. I just want to say, wouldn't it be nice to stay on the secondary road?"
"Sister Lu didn't force you to do that. If you want to stay, you can get off."
"Tsk, that's boring, brother..."
The car had just entered the protective shield and drove all the way in, but was stopped halfway.
"What are you doing? Sister Lu's place is up ahead, just find a place to park!"
The visitor was rudely driven away and didn't dare to say a word.
The old man in the car said to the young man in the passenger seat: "See, that car is Sister Lu's car. I will introduce you to Sister Lu at dawn. With her protection, I will be relieved that you can challenge the world."
After a pause, the old man said, "It's hard to hide the fact that Sister Lu is leaving. Many people want to go with her, while others just want to stay. You're young, and you need to move forward to have a future. Don't die of old age here like me. After I send you in, I'll go back to Blue Star. When you're done with your struggle and come back, I'll make you a hot meal."
The young man's eyes were red and he nodded: "Grandpa, I know, I will try my best."
Afterwards, the young man thought of Sister Lu’s charming and sexy appearance, and his heart felt hot again and started beating fast.
I heard that Sister Lu likes young people like them. If...
"Qing Qiang was arrested?"
The red sports car has an unexpectedly large space. The space on the first floor is even enough for a formal 5V5 basketball game.
The huge space has a unique ecosystem. Trees and flowers are planted in the room, and small rooms with different uses are built so that people can enjoy life while seeing traces of high technology everywhere.
This is the interior of the fourth-level vehicle: the ground siege vehicle.
The woman coming down from upstairs was wearing a black long dress, with slightly curly hair lazily draped behind her. The black color made her skin look too white.
She has an extremely dazzling appearance, with bright eyes, a straight nose, and sexy heart-shaped lips that are red without any makeup.
With her voluptuous body curves, the sexy charm of a mature woman almost fills the entire space.
Even the roses blooming in the garden were not as beautiful and eye-catching as her.
Her voice was a little lazy and hoarse, and even though she just spoke casually, it seemed to carry from far away.
Then, seven or eight young men with different appearances, but all in the prime of youth and with their own unique characteristics, walked out from the garden, the room, and the cab.
The man leaning on the door frame of the cab was tall, with broad shoulders and narrow hips, and a pair of straight and long legs. He looked like a typical domineering CEO in novels for women, with an aura that was difficult to approach and an overly sharp look.
But when he looked at the woman, his eyes were filled with tenderness as he replied, "Yes, he's been arrested for two days. I heard he's going to be sent to a military court for trial."
"That's fine." Unexpectedly, the woman's brows relaxed. "His job is deadly. If he gets crazy, no one can stop him. He might lose his life one day."
The woman walked up to the man, avoided the hand he extended, and instead took a cup of warm milk from the tray held by another man and walked into the cab.
At the same time, he said, "But he was captured while on a mission for me. Have someone find him a good lawyer on Blue Star. As for the time... lock him up for a month or so. Once he loses his status as a challenger, that should be enough."
The two men behind her were fighting openly and secretly, but the woman didn't bother to care. She just continued, "The legion people are coming over today. Make sure to hand over the task with them. Otherwise, as soon as I leave, a bunch of people will die. I'll have to eat vegetarian food for many days to make up for it."
"Sister Lu is kind, we will definitely handle the handover properly."
"What does their trouble have to do with Sister Lu? You're not capable enough yet you're here to challenge me. Why don't you go back to Blue Star when it's peaceful? Who can you blame for your greed?"
Sister Lu got to the driver's seat and curled up in the seat like a cat. Her shoes were taken off, revealing a perfectly shaped ankle from the back of the chair.
There was silence behind her for a moment, and her gaze was so scorching that it could set her feet on fire.
Sister Lu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the countdown on the projection screen, which was slowly jumping towards six in the morning.
"Have you found all the information on the two people I asked you to check yesterday? Let me see."
"Yes, I found it. Please wait a moment."
Then, three photos popped up on the projection screen in front of Sister Lu.
The man on the left is big and strong, a rare type of obesity in the challenge world. His appearance can barely be called a blessing.
The man on the right has a delicate face and handsome features, as if he came out of a comic book. Even in the photo, there is a slight curve at the corner of his eyes, and he is full of smiles.
The emerald necklace on his left earlobe is very eye-catching, making his already soft facial features look more feminine.
But the information on the side stated in detail: Captain of the Northeast Army Corps’ National Defense Intelligence Department, both legs amputated.
...A person like this has nothing to do with being a sissy.
Sister Lu shifted her gaze.
The man in the middle was different from the warm ones on his left and right. Even the glasses he wore could not hide the aggression in his eyes.
The straightened corners of his mouth do not indicate a smile. His high nose bridge and narrow eyes make him look like a blade, keeping people at a distance.
The overly cold aura was only slightly distorted by the butterfly-shaped ear bone clip on the left ear, making her look even more... sharp and ruthless.
"These glasses..." Sister Lu gently sipped the side of the glass, her lips curled slightly, revealing a smile that saw through everything, "If I could take them off..."
…
The daytime that challenges the world always comes so quickly and neatly. As soon as six o'clock arrives, the sky immediately becomes bright, and the high temperature covers the earth, leaving no chance for people to breathe.
The daytime temperature in the desert has reached 60°C. Only challengers who have advanced to Sequence 2 can barely survive here.
Wei Huan and his team are already on their way.
Now there are three people left in the car.
The reason why they had to go to a supply point while on the road was to hand over Xu Qingqiang and the other two.
Wei Huan and his team were going to enter the third-level highway to complete the stage challenge, so it would be inconvenient to keep people in the car.
There are four level three vehicles at supply point No. 6, and this combat power is enough to hold Xu Qingqiang captive.
The only pity is that Xu Qingqiang did not wake up until the handover was completed and had been in a coma for two days.
Wei Huan has always been a little concerned about the green light in Xu Qingqiang's eyes in the last moments before he fell into coma.
Apparently, by eating the undead, he also devoured his netherworld power.
At that time, he even felt Xu Qingqiang's emotions as if he was facing his own summoned creature.
Is it possible that...
But now is not the time to explore the truth.
They had to go to the third-level highway and trade the "Mofidi Scales" to the front.
This is not the material for a level five vehicle, but the core advanced material for Farmer Sequence Five: King of War.
I hope that with a fifth-level professional, I can help Commander Mu complete the upgrade of a fifth-level vehicle as soon as possible, which may change his inevitable fate.
As for the fourth-level materials obtained in exchange, they are also useful to Wei Huan.
He doesn't mind receiving training from the legion as he can reach the front line at a faster speed.
In fact, with his ability, what he should worry about is not that no one will train him, but who should he choose?
In short, once his car enters the third-level highway, he is automatically registered to participate in the nearest survival test on the third-level track.
This is a national war-level challenge highway.
Captain Zhao had told them everything he knew, but whether it was Wei Huan's experience in his previous life or the information Mu Zhong learned through the legion, they could confirm that this challenge was not that simple.
Competing on the same stage with veterans who have accumulated strength for many years in the second stage, and it is a national competition, those powerful veteran challengers are enough to trample the talented newcomers into the mud.
For example, Peng Zheng and Qi Jialu, who were specifically mentioned by Captain Zhao, have been on the second-class highway for five or six years. They even upgraded their cars to level four, and their personal strength has also reached level four.
At this level, it is almost foreseeable that the golden treasure chest will be within the scope of this challenge road.
Even the standings that Wei Huan was proud of might not be able to beat them.
Of course, since he has participated, Wei Huan also wants to fight for the golden treasure chest.
This is also the reason why Wei Huan finally accepted the transaction with Commander Mu using materials worth far more than that of the fifth-level materials.
Commander Mu wanted to train him, and he chose to accept, just to become stronger.
Looking at the end of the road ahead, Wei Huan put away his scattered thoughts and looked at it intently.
Like the end of a first-class highway, a black and white checkered finish line stands abruptly in the desert.
Above the arch, the national flag flutters in the wind.
The secondary road comes to an end.
They are about to move on to the next challenge.
Wei Huan suddenly turned around and looked at Mu Zhong who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Mu Zhong also looked at him.
The two people's eyes were entangled with each other, burning with ideals and beliefs, as well as strands of entanglement and concern.
Wei Huan suddenly felt very happy. He and Mu Zhong had reached another destination together.
