"Some people eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and have no worries about food and clothing. Some people, however, have no idea where to eat and are almost starving to death or dying of thirst..." Among the onlookers, some people inevitably felt jealous.
"That guy sells ice, and he's doing big business!"
"Going out with the camel caravan is exhausting, and I can barely get enough food every day. Look at other people, they have so much money that they have no idea where to spend it."
"It would be great if we could get his money..."
At first, only a few people were gossiping, but gradually, more and more people started to complain. They looked at each other and inexplicably became more courageous - there were only two people on the other side, a man and a woman, and if they attacked together, they would definitely succeed!
Immediately, several people started discussing in a low voice.
So when Su Han was watching a man playing the flute and a snake dancing with great interest, a group of six people holding sticks came towards Su Han and Zhong Rui aggressively.
Su Han was very sensitive and quickly noticed the malicious intent around her. She looked up and saw six people on the other side. She felt relieved and wanted to draw her gun immediately.
Who knows the next second——
Zhong Rui tossed the leather bag filled with gold nuggets and jewels in his hands and said nonchalantly, "Whoever helps me beat them up will get the gold."
The onlookers who were about to avoid it were suddenly in an uproar.
The six people who were planning to cause trouble stopped in their tracks, looking dazed.
Zhong Rui lifted the leather bag, looked around, and deliberately asked, "Why, no one wants to make this money?"
Everyone woke up as if from a dream.
More than ten people rushed over to help.
The six people were completely confused and were punched and kicked until they fell to the ground.
Su Han silently stuffed the Desert Eagle back.
What does it mean that money is omnipotent?
What is a sinful rich man?
What does it mean to treat money as dirt?
Zhong Rui gave a perfect interpretation.
"Rich people are very scary. How can we provoke them casually?" Zhong Rui said with a sigh.
The six people cried bitterly. They mistook a hungry wolf for a fat sheep. They were so blind! They didn't know how many days it would take for the wound on their bodies to heal. They definitely couldn't work during the recuperation period. In other words, they shot themselves in the foot.
"Are you not leaving yet?" Zhong Rui's tone was cold and threatening.
The six people hurried away. One of them was so hurried that he even fell down accidentally. But he didn't dare to look back, he stood up quickly and ran away.
"Thank you for your help." Zhong Rui nodded to the enthusiastic people, then opened the leather bag, "Come and collect your reward."
As promised, everyone who came out to help received a piece of gold. Some of the people who beat people up were particularly hard, and Zhong Rui even generously gave them an extra piece.
"Boss, if there is such good thing in the future, keep calling people. We will definitely come!" Many people who got gold couldn't help but look forward to the next job opportunity.
Zhong Rui nodded, "There's a chance."
After everyone left reluctantly, Su Han looked thoughtful, "I didn't expect that gold would be quite useful in the desert dungeon."
"We have to reach the oasis first before the gold can be put to use. If we wander around in the desert, the gold will be no different from scrap metal." Zhong Rui replied casually.
Having spent a little money and solved a problem, he was quite pleased and continued to stroll around the market.
Day 9 of the game.
Early in the morning, Su Han thought it was almost time for purification, so he ran to check the water tank. He opened the lid and found the water inside was extremely clear.
Su Han... still couldn't understand the principle. But it didn't matter, she had already verified it and the conclusion was correct.
After making a pot of rice porridge and eating it with bread for breakfast, Su Han had nothing to do.
Zhong Rui continued to make ice with saltpeter, and then took it out to sell at a stall.
Su Han didn't understand this at all. "The portable space is so small, and I can't take all the gold and jewelry with me. What's the point of exchanging so much?"
But she didn't want to interfere with her companions, so she stayed in her room to rest. After eight days of traveling, her feet would have blistered in the real world. Although the game wasn't so realistic, she was too lazy to move.
The 10th day passed peacefully.
On the 11th day, the system's mechanical voice announced, "A sandstorm is coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew up the sand on the ground.
Su Han looked out the window and could clearly see the yellow gravel covering the sky. Then, a strong wind howled and banged against the window.
If you listen carefully, you can find that the wind is so strong that it blows up rocks and sand. As time goes by, more and more sand and dust fly into the air, and finally it covers the sky and blocks out the sunlight!
Su Han looked outside and found that the sky was rapidly getting dark. It was pitch black, as if it was midnight.
Zhong Rui lit a candle and said calmly, "There is food and drink available, just wait in the room."
"Fortunately, I didn't give up and insisted on looking for an oasis." Looking at the strong wind outside, Su Han was still frightened. "If we camped in the desert and encountered a sandstorm, would we be able to survive? We might be blown away by the wind."
As they were talking, someone opened the door and ran to knock on the neighbor's door. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew and the man was blown off the ground! After flying into the sky, no one knew where he would end up, or whether he would survive.
Su Han looked at it and felt his heart pounding.
On the 11th day, very few residents left their homes, while most people hid in their homes.
On the 12th day, the food and drinking water ran out, and more residents had to run out of their rooms, ask for help from others, or propose exchanges.
Zhong Rui made a prompt decision and extinguished the candles in the house. At the same time, he explained, "It's dark outside, and the candles in the house will be too conspicuous and will attract people."
"I know." Su Han's expression remained unchanged. In fact, if her friend hadn't done it first, she would have wanted to put out the candle as well.
As he was talking, someone knocked on the door, accompanied by a loud shout, "Is anyone there? Open the door!"
They both held their breath at the same time.
Under the current situation, if a deal cannot be reached, robbery is likely to occur, so the less contact they have with other people, the safer they will be.
Furthermore, Zhong Rui's ice business had been going very smoothly in the past few days, and he had become a familiar face to everyone. If other people saw that it was him who opened the door, those who had no bad intentions might have evil thoughts on the spot.
"Is anyone there? Open the door!" The knocking on the door became more and more urgent.
The two men made up their minds to play dead and keep silent.
At this time, intermittent voices came from outside the door, "...Aren't there a lot of sheep in the yard...So what if we hired guards? Let's all go together...What are you afraid of? If you don't do it, you will die of thirst or hunger. If you do it, you may have a chance to survive."
Then, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard.
"It seems that they want to take action against the sheep farmers." Zhong Rui slowly breathed a sigh of relief and secretly felt lucky that he was selling ice.
Although ice was a rare commodity in hot weather, it was not so important when people were hungry and had no water to drink. Rich people who owned sheep became the most popular targets.
Su Han's face was solemn. There was a raging sandstorm outside, and if one wasn't careful one would be blown away by the wind. Leaving the oasis was not a good idea.
But it was troublesome to stay. Although there was no need to worry about sandstorms, the gap between the rich and the poor in the oasis was too large. In peacetime, they could barely live in harmony, but once an emergency occurred, desperate criminals would immediately start to think crookedly.
Today they can join forces to deal with rich people who own flocks of sheep, and tomorrow they can break into houses and rob them.
"Let's hold on until tomorrow and see what the system says." Zhong Rui analyzed calmly, "If the situation is too chaotic, then we'll have to leave the oasis immediately. Anyway, we both have enough supplies, so even if we separate, we can still survive until the end."
Su Han nodded in agreement, "In the later stages of the game, the vast desert may be safer than being with people."
The next morning, the system's mechanical voice prompted, "Game Day 13, the wind has stopped, and the sandstorm is gradually subsiding."
"A group of bandits have learned the location of F12 Oasis and are speeding over from the west, planning to rob and kill. It is estimated that in 2 hours, the bandits will arrive at the destination and have a head-on conflict with the players."
"Note 1: There were 200 robbers in total, each of them riding a camel and equipped with a saber."
"Note 2: If the bandits lose more than 100 men, they will retreat."
200 Bandits...
The next second, Su Han said without hesitation, "Since the sandstorm has stopped, let's go quickly."
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 39. 40. 50. 61. 72. 83. 94. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 28. 29. 39. 40. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68.
Robbers are not scary. What is scary is the so-called "teammates" who may choose to betray you at any time.
"Well, let's go." Zhong Rui also had no intention of resisting. He stood up, ate a small piece of cake, and then threw several leather bags of gold bars and jewelry into his portable storage.
Su Han, "???"
It was said to be full?
Zhong Rui calmly explained, "Haven't we been eating and drinking these past two days, and consuming some daily necessities? There is some space in the warehouse, which is just right for the leather bags."
Su Han, "..."
He makes full use of every space and plans precisely. I don't know if he has obsessive-compulsive disorder or is obsessed with perfection.
After a quick breakfast, the two left the oasis quietly.
Because the robbers would come from the west, the two men discussed and decided to head south.
Who knew that just after walking for more than ten minutes, a snake suddenly jumped out from the sand and bit Su Han on the ankle. The next second, Su Han was in the "poisoned" state.
Zhong Rui took out his gun and wanted to shoot, but he saw Su Han holding the snake's mouth with one hand and holding the dagger with the other, stabbing the snake several times.
After a few seconds, the snake fell to the ground and remained motionless.
Zhong Rui held the gun in his hand, worried that a slight deviation in the aim would cause accidental injury, so he did not shoot. As a result, after a short while, he saw his friend solve the problem cleanly and neatly without any hesitation.
Zhong Rui couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Su Han cut a cut on his ankle, squeezed out the dirty blood, then took out a detoxification pill from his personal storage, stuffed it into his mouth, and then bandaged the wound with a bandage.
The whole set of movements is smooth and flowing.
"Are you preparing the antidote pill yourself?" Zhong Rui raised his eyebrows.
"Of course." Su Han answered as a matter of course, "Even if I am a teammate, I cannot guarantee that I will be by my side all the time. I must be able to act alone."
