Where is Song Yue?
In your own space, of course.
After being busy for a while, she felt a little hungry.
So after dropping off the three people, she kayaked alone around to the west side of the hypermarket.
There is a sloping outdoor steel staircase on the west side, which leads to the rooftop.
She stood on the steel stairs and temporarily tied the kayak here. After confirming that there was no one around, she disappeared from the spot with a whoosh.
There were many delicious foods on the shelves, and they were all her favorites. After choosing for a long time, Song Yue finally took out a box of fish-flavored shredded pork rice, crawled down from the ground, and sat down on the ground.
Carefully tear off the outermost layer of plastic wrap of the takeaway, and the aroma of the food immediately hits you, especially the shredded meat on top, which still retains the color and fresh aroma of when it was just out of the pot. Pick up a piece with chopsticks and you can feel the chewy and firm texture of the meat in your hand.
Song Yue didn't waste any time and immediately started eating with big mouthfuls.
The takeaway restaurant she ordered from not only had delicious dishes, but also had excellent rice.
Generally speaking, the quality of the meals served to customers in restaurants is not very good. Most of them taste dry, without much moisture, and have a very astringent texture.
But this place is different. The owner is willing to spend money and uses pearl rice and new rice from the countryside to steam rice year-round. The rice cooker is placed outside, visible to all customers. As soon as the rice is steamed, the whole store is naturally filled with the fragrance of rice.
Paired with their various home-cooked dishes, the meal is truly unforgettable.
It was in this situation that Song Yue ate heartily. The entire lunch box was empty in no time.
Her family has the habit of drinking soup after dinner. There are many kinds of soup on the shelves. Song Yue looked at the labels on the takeaway boxes one by one and finally turned over the label of mushroom clear soup.
Fish-flavored shredded pork is a Sichuan dish with a heavy and oily taste. A bowl of light and fragrant mushroom soup is just the right amount to help relieve the greasiness.
After eating and drinking his fill, Song Yue patted his stomach contentedly.
Before leaving the space, she deliberately stuffed some bread, mineral water, compressed biscuits, plastic and other food into her backpack, just in case.
The wet clothes also had to be replaced with waterproof ones. The latter were bought at a sports store near her home. There were a total of 3 sets. She changed into one of them and put the wet clothes in the space to dry them when she had time later.
In just over ten minutes, the water level rose a few centimeters. Song Yue stood on the steel stairs and looked into the second floor of the hypermarket. She saw that the water had reached the girls' knees.
If this continues, the second floor will be flooded sooner or later.
She had to move to higher ground.
And you'll need a few helpers.
Paddling is a physically demanding job, and it's unknown how long it will take to find higher ground. She certainly can't paddle for a long time alone.
And there was no guarantee they'd run into robbers during the transfer. Although she'd seen plenty of them in her previous life and wasn't afraid, they wouldn't care. If they saw she was the only woman on the boat, they'd probably attack her. Once or twice was fine, but after too many, Song Yue started to get annoyed and it was detracting from her work.
So instead of taking this risk, it is better to form a temporary team and wait until we find the high ground before seeing whether everyone agrees to disband.
This kayak can carry up to 8 adults. Song Yue calculated that there were exactly 8 people, including the woman and child, the hardware store owner, and Sister Mei.
I just don't know if they share the same opinion as me.
Song Yue decided to ask.
She waved to several people on the second floor, and the woman, the shop owner and Sister Mei all saw her.
"Sister Mei, Nan Nan, look, Song Yue is fine!"
"Phew—I was so scared! I thought something happened to her..."
"She seems to be calling us? Let's go and take a look."
Several people waded through the water, trying to get closer to the small door on the west side.
During this time, Song Yue noticed that the woman with the child was staggering and seemed to have some injuries on her feet. The shop owner next to her noticed it, took the child for her and put it on his shoulders.
Sister Mei kept reminding the three roommates behind her to be careful when walking in the water and not to step on sharp objects.
Song Yue saw the behavior of several people.
The shop owner is timid and always likes to subconsciously refute others, but he has a kind heart. Sister Mei used to be very rude to her at school and looked down on her style of taking advantage of her wealth to play with other people's feelings, but for the sake of her roommate, she was willing to bow her head and ask her for help.
No one is perfect, but everyone has his or her own shining points.
Song Yue's principle in choosing people is that as long as they don't touch her bottom line, she can accept anything else.
"I'm going to row to the higher ground and find a safer place to stay. What about you? Do you plan to stay here or come with me?"
Everyone saw her standing on the stairs outside the small door, casually supporting herself against the wall with one hand.
I don't know when the clothes on her body were changed. They were pure black and even tighter than the ones I saw just now. The rain kept falling on them, leaving silky water marks.
But because her figure was very tight, the muscles in her shoulders, arms, and abdomen were stretched and relaxed in a moderate manner. At this moment, standing on three steps slightly higher than them, looking down at them slightly, her expression and posture! It was like a battle-damaged beauty that only appeared in novels!
"Oh my god, I didn't expect her to have such a good figure?!" Nan Nan couldn't help but sigh in a low voice behind Sister Mei.
"And don't you think that her current action, coupled with that cold and indifferent expression, makes her look like a super female agent?" another roommate followed closely.
"I, why do I feel like she gets more and more handsome the more I look at her? Ugh, was I blind and misjudged her before?"
Sister Mei listened to her roommates' discussions and also became suspicious of Song Yue in front of her.
She was not like this when she was in school.
As a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, her dressing style can be said to lead the trend of the entire campus. She wears clothes as avant-garde and fancy as possible.
But she has fair skin, beautiful looks and outstanding temperament, and any strange clothes look unique on her.
How does that saying go? As long as someone has an angelic face and a model's figure, even rags from a garbage dump will look good on them.
Because of her unique style, Song Yue attracted a lot of attention from her freshman year. And then, because of her constant boyfriend changes, her name was nailed to the blacklist of girls at the Academy of Fine Arts!
How could someone so typically over-the-top suddenly become so... minimalist and cool? Even more outrageous, this coolness seemed to tinge with a touch of approachability?
Sister Mei felt a little messy.
It seems like she has always misunderstood the top figure in the art academy?
"Sister Mei, should we go with her?"
At the urging of her roommate, Sister Mei came back to her senses. She looked at Song Yue above, and a sense of security gradually arose in her heart!
"Well, go with her." She blurted out without any thought.
Song Yue naturally didn't know the mental activities of the four girls in front of her. She just felt that there seemed to be some subtle changes in the way they looked at her?
Could it be because she changed her clothes without anyone noticing?
It's possible.
Song Yue pondered for a moment and decided to mention it to them if she had the chance later, so that they wouldn't think too much about her special abilities.
Four girls from the art academy agreed to join, and the woman and the shop owner had no reason to refuse.
They didn't know where Song Yue got the kayak, but just because she had the ability, they decided to follow her.
"Okay, now that everyone agrees, let me set some rules before we leave."
There is no order without rules. Even a small team must abide by the rules.
Song Yue used the same style she had in the search team in her previous life.
"First, we need to take turns kayaking. There are seven of us adults, and we each paddle for an hour before taking turns."
"Secondly, quarrels are prohibited on board. If anyone behaves in a manner that threatens other people's lives, I will immediately kick them out."
"Third, I am not responsible for your food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If you want to survive, you must work hard to find supplies yourself."
"Any objections?"
Everyone said in unison: "No."
Song Yue smiled slightly, turned around and boarded the kayak: "Very good, come on up."
A yellow kayak carrying eight people slowly entered the street from the west side, and the others who stayed in the hypermarket looked on with envy.
God knows how important it is to have a kayak in a situation like this!
The water level has already reached their thighs, and it will not be long before the entire second floor will be flooded.
Sooner or later they will leave this place.
But where can they escape to without any tools?
The outside world has become a vast ocean. More than half of the buildings in Qianhe Lake area are underwater. Now only the supermarkets and hotels are still standing.
If they want to survive, they must go to the hotel!
Gradually, after a psychological struggle, some people began to take measures to save themselves.
A couple started first, supporting each other and walking slowly in the thigh-high cold water.
The wife first discovered the woven bag stored in the cabinet. She was overjoyed and quickly took out the bag and handed it to her husband.
Later, a pair of scissors and a box of needles and thread were found in the cashier's desk.
"Is this really possible?" her husband asked worriedly while helping her keep an eye on the surroundings. "Can a few bags really get us to the hotel?"
The wife pursed her lips, and her solemn expression clearly showed that she was not 100% sure, but she did not lose hope because of this. Instead, she picked up the scissors and began to cut the woven bag.
She quickly cut a large bag that could hold a quilt into four long strips.
"Give me the needle and thread."
The husband handed it to her as he was told and held the bag at the same time to make it easier for his wife to sew.
His wife came from the countryside. When she was a child, her family was poor and she could wear a piece of clothes for many years by mending them. As a result, she became skilled in sewing.
The husband looked at his wife with heartache, but at the same time he was proud of her.
So what if he came from a poor background? Didn’t his wife also work hard to get into a big city and successfully settle down there?
It's a pity that they had bad luck. This time when I brought my wife on a trip, they encountered such a thing.
He thought silently that he and his wife had worked so hard to get to where they are today and had a life that others envied. Now they couldn't just die here in vain!
He must take his wife away!
They must survive!
On the other hand, Song Yue's plan coincided with that of the couple.
Several people on the boat had no supplies, so she had to take them to the hotel to pick up the supplies first, and then discuss where to go next depending on the severity of the rain and flood.
She has completed 7 of the optional tasks [Rescue 10 citizens].
I thought it was the most difficult part, but I didn't expect to have completed half of it on the first day of entering the dungeon.
On the contrary, the required task that did not attract her attention at the beginning - [Save 1 companion], has not been responded to for a long time.
What happened to this mission?
Why did she save the woman, the shop owner, Sister Mei and others, but still none of them met the requirements?
Song Yue couldn't help but recall carefully in his mind, saving 1 companion.
Wait, a light bulb suddenly flashed in my mind.
The focus of this mission is not to save people, but "companions"!
What a pit!
We agreed to keep the difficulty of the novice dungeon as low as possible, but who knew such a trap would be hidden in such a small task?!
The girl, woman, and owner she met at the hardware store, as well as Sister Mei she met at the hypermarket, were not considered her companions.
She has only one companion!
That is the person given in the identity information. He has the best relationship with the original owner and also followed the original owner all the way to Qianhe Lake.
——Zheng Yuexi.
So the question is, she had parted ways with Zheng Yuexi long before the rainstorm.
Now, where should she find someone?
Or to be more pessimistic, assuming that Zheng Yuexi is dead, has she already declared the mission a failure in the first copy?
