Copy Three
Until the evening, Pei Wei arranged for Su Wanxing to lie on a straw mat, and the sweet taste of bread and eight-treasure porridge was still lingering in her taste buds.
I have been trying to clear out the delicious food in the warehouse these days, and I have temporarily forgotten what the food tastes like right after opening the bag.
As night fell, Su Wanxing and Pei Wei chatted idly. It was probably hunting time and they could hear some noises coming from the ground, so their chat turned into whispers or silence.
The straw mat was laid directly on the ground, which was uncomfortable. Su Wanxing rolled back and forth several times before he found a comfortable position to lie down.
I could see Pei Wei opposite T taking good care of the velociraptor mother and baby. Daju and Xiaoshe were eating the wild rabbit meat that the velociraptor Huahua caught. The baby velociraptor's teeth had not grown yet, so Pei Wei had to feed it small pieces of wild rabbit meat bit by bit.
But the baby dragon didn't know that his little fangs were also very sharp. In his eagerness to eat, he cut Pei Wei's finger.
Pei Wei was like a professional breeder. She didn't care about the cut and just continued feeding with her other hand, her eyes extremely gentle.
Su Wanxing slowly closed her eyes.
Not sleepy at all.
I suddenly understood why Pei Wei was so anxious when we were at home a while ago. At that time, I always felt that this sister was different from other family members in being content with the status quo, but now I have solved my doubts.
As a player, the most urgent thing is how to deal with unknown natural disasters.
The more he felt the same, the more conflicted Su Wanxing became.
In fact... she didn't want to die with Pei Wei.
First, she has always been a loner and has a withdrawn personality, so she might not be able to fit in. Even though there are only two people in this group, she still finds it very tiring to deal with interpersonal relationships.
She has low self-esteem when it comes to making friends.
Second, she has too many secrets. The large space given by Zhou Tian, the visual auxiliary AI Fa Cai, and the special features of Daju and Xiaoshe.
As she grew older, the cruel reality taught her that there is no pure friendship in the world and the premise of building a solid friendship is to continuously provide benefits and value to each other.
Third, she is a little afraid of players now. Especially after the players invaded the system, she always feels that everyone around her may be a time bomb.
But the question now is, what reason would she find to leave?
Before the player's identity was exposed, she and Pei Wei were still sisters in the dungeon.
Oh, I really want to gnaw on duck necks. The feeling of finding meat in bones is just like the twists and turns of brain nerves transmitting signals. If I gnaw on a few more, maybe I can come up with a perfect plan.
"Are you familiar with your bed?" Pei Wei's gentle voice appeared in his ears.
Su Wanxing opened her blurry eyes and nodded slowly. Yes, I missed the soft five-piece bedding.
Pei Wei rubbed Su Wanxing's head as if coaxing a child, "Just make do with it for now, I'll go find some quilts and bring them back for you tomorrow."
What Pei Wei meant by this was that she didn't plan to take her with her to search for supplies? Then... could she take the opportunity to escape? Anyway, if she disappeared, the players who had no blood relationship with her wouldn't be sad.
"What are you thinking about?" Pei Wei poked Su Wanxing's forehead, then pulled up her wrist and frowned, "Is your arm injured? I'll help you clean it up before you go to sleep."
Only then did Su Wanxing see the several small, twisted wounds on his forearm. They were not serious and did not hurt or itch.
She didn't even know when she bumped into something. "It's okay, just a minor injury." Since entering this crappy game, no matter what injuries she got, they would not heal quickly due to the dungeon changes. At first, Su Wanxing would disinfect and clean them appropriately, but later she gradually became numb. As long as the wound was not bleeding, she didn't care much.
"Even the smallest wound needs to be cleaned and disinfected." Pei Wei brought out a fully equipped medical kit.
Su Wanxing let the snake be fiddled with. She was indeed a layman in healing, otherwise the snake's wound would not have festered.
"Sister, do you also teach medical skills in archaeology?" Su Wanxing asked with interest.
Pei Wei was obviously stunned, "No, I just participated in some medical training before."
Soon, her expression returned to normal, and she added with a slightly sad look: "My boyfriend is a doctor, and he taught me a lot of things."
Su Wanxing tasted it calmly. The first sentence sounded like a lie, but the second sentence was quite true. However, in the copy memory, there was no specific description of her sister's boyfriend, and she didn't even remember that her sister currently had a boyfriend.
According to the usual conversation pattern, there would probably be a "eh" at the end, followed by the same old questions like "how long have you been together", "what kind of person is your brother-in-law", "is he good to you", "when are you getting married", etc.
However, it is the end of the world now, and Su Wanxing is not very curious, so these questions have long been forgotten. In case the boyfriend and Pei Wei have lost contact, it would not be good to ask too much.
Su Wanxing thought about it, and her eyelids closed unconsciously. She felt the stinging sensation of alcohol wiping the wound on her arm, and the warmth of Pei Wei's gentle fingertips.
A feeling of security came over her, just like many years ago when her grandparents sat by her bed and told her bedtime stories, which made her feel peaceful.
Before I knew it, I was feeling sleepy.
When Su Wanxing opened his eyes again, the light in the air-raid shelter was still on yellow, the only difference was that the raptor Huahua and Pei Wei were missing...
She didn't have time to rub her eyes and looked up at her watch. It was almost noon.
I slept for more than ten hours!
Su Wanxing got up in a hurry and caught a glimpse of the wooden boards at the entrance of the air-raid shelter closing. A beam of dazzling sunlight was shrinking silently.
"elder sister!"
The wooden board opened with a sound, the sunlight spread, and the warm sunlight fell on Su Wanxing's face.
Pei Wei poked her head out. "Wanxing, are you awake? I'm going to collect supplies and will be back soon. If you're hungry, you can eat the self-heating rice. It's at your bedside. The water is in the kettle on the corner of the cabinet next to my bed..."
The dazzling beam of light at noon shone on Pei Wei's back. She looked like a glowing... fairy? Su Wanxing came up with an appropriate adjective, and then said unconsciously: "I'll go with you. It's not safe outside."
"No thanks," Pei Wei refused, "These dinosaurs can't stand the heat, they won't come out to hang around at noon."
After saying that, Pei Wei resolutely covered the door with the wooden board, not giving Su Wanxing any chance to explain.
The moment the sunlight was completely blocked, darkness returned to Su Wanxing's face.
She was in a trance for two seconds, thinking gloomily:
Should I take this opportunity to escape?
…
Pei Wei embarked on her stockpiling journey with ease, but unfortunately her inventory was too small, only 5 items!
So many times you have to make choices.
She first went to the large supermarket that she had visited recently. In order to save space, she directly took 20 quilts. The extra ones could be used as mattresses and pillows. Otherwise, if she took a set of five-piece bedding, her inventory would be full.
There are currently 9 bags of instant noodles, 10 packs of compressed biscuits, and 3 cans of eight-treasure porridge left in the inventory. She quickly refilled them. The upper limit of the inventory is 20, so it can be replenished quickly.
She put 20 apples that had not yet rotted into the last remaining grid.
Carrying a few bags of not-so-fresh vegetables.
Every time she goes out to stock up, she never returns empty-handed.
Finally, Pei Wei rode on Huahua's back and rushed back to the air-raid shelter again. The whole process took no more than an hour.
She skillfully brought Huahua back to the air-raid shelter, but saw no one around and her heart suddenly became panicked.
"Evening Star?"
"I'm here."
Pei Wei's palpitations half disappeared. She followed the sound and saw Su Wanxing curled up at her feet. She rushed over without thinking, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Su Wanxing lowered her head, hugged her knees with her hands, and spoke with a faint tremor in her melancholy tone, "Sister Wei, what should we do in the future?"
Pei Wei's eyes darkened, and after a while, she patted Su Wanxing's shoulder firmly, "I will take you off the island."
"Really?" Su Wanxing raised her head and deliberately emphasized her tone, "Sister Weiwei?"
Sister Weiwei? Pei Wei paused, and suddenly realized that the little girl in front of her had changed her name. She had always called her sister before.
That's right, Pei Wei smiled bitterly, she had only met the sister in the copy once, how could she be so sensitive that she would notice something wrong just by changing the title.
Is Wanxing...testing me?
What are you testing?
Pei Wei had a guess at once, but she saw the originally sad little girl in front of her seemed to notice that her expression had changed from hesitation to surprise, and suddenly she narrowed her eyes and conjured up a bag of pork ribs and a bag of fresh noodles out of thin air.
Take out another large frying pan.
Pei Wei was dumbfounded on the spot.
Su Wanxing asked nonchalantly, "Sister Weiwei, can you make pork ribs stewed with noodles?"
"..." Pei Wei was speechless for a moment, then nodded blankly.
Su Wanxing immediately took out another bag of beans and said with confidence: "It will be more delicious if you add some beans to the pork ribs stewed noodles!"
Pei Wei's eyes were still wide open, and she belatedly raised her thumb in approval.
…
Su Wanxing looked at Pei Wei's back as she prepared to cook, and stood up to help pick beans.
She and Sister Weiwei knew each other's true identity tacitly, and both avoided the topic of players tacitly.
In the short hour that Pei Wei was out, Su Wanxing made countless struggles, although it was just a simple choice: to leave or not to leave.
Finally she made her choice.
Maybe it was because of Pei Wei's kindness. Kindness from the heart is hard to fake, and hypocritical people cannot give even a little patience to those who have no profit.
So she spent an hour learning how to act pitiful. Although her acting was clumsy, it was not difficult to see that Pei Wei really wanted to take good care of her sister, with whom she only had a relationship in the copy.
Su Wanxing did have a plan to fight alone, but that would be too passive. Even in the game, connections are important.
She needs to take the initiative to make friends.
"Wanxing, we don't have any seasoning. How about I go to the supermarket to get some more?"
Su Wanxing was already prepared and brought out a box filled with a variety of seasonings, so many that it was dazzling.
She had to act like the other players, with only five slots.
Revealing her identity is only the first step, gaining trust is the key. Only time will tell whether the first player she meets is trustworthy.
Pei Wei looked at Su Wanxing with a look of disappointment, and patted her shoulder, "There are only five slots in the inventory, and you used them all for food!"
Su Wanxing asked a foodie question: "No, I can't?"
