65 Supply Station - Day 1
◎Yang Xiaoyang asks for help◎
The last time I went to the supply station was in the Iceberg Snowfield dungeon, and it has been more than 30 days since then.
There were only a handful of players entering at that time, but this time, nearly 9,500 players from the entire zone were teleported in. The supply station was still quite large, and it seemed a bit crowded to accommodate so many people at once.
It is now 7 o'clock in the morning, and the restaurant is already crowded and bustling.
Yan Lan, Ji Zhou, Yuanyuan and their group shuttled through the bustling crowd and waited in line for nearly 10 minutes before they got the food they wanted.
However, the seats in the restaurant had already been occupied by players who arrived early, so they could only look around with their plates in hand.
At this moment, a familiar and enthusiastic voice came from not far away: "Yan Lan, come here!"
Following the sound, she saw three girls standing at the table, their faces beaming with joy as they waved enthusiastically. The others at the table also noticed Yan Lan and her group's arrival and stood up, smiling and waving.
Yan Lan took a quick look around and found that they were all familiar faces that she hadn't seen for a long time.
She smiled at her companions, walked quickly forward and stood beside the dining table.
Lu Zilin spoke first: "We just finished eating and are about to leave. You can use this seat."
After saying that, she considerately picked up the dinner plates and moved the chairs back to make room for Yan Lan and her group.
The two sisters next to them immediately echoed, "Yes, yes, please sit down and stop standing."
Wang Da, Xiao Hei, Xiao Huang and others also picked up their plates and stood to one side of the table.
Shi Yuanyuan looked at Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang beside him. Their plates were indeed empty, and they had obviously finished their meal.
He took the initiative to sit down: "Then we won't be polite."
Afterwards, Yan Lan and her companions sat down one after another. After Lu Zilin and his group left, they began to enjoy this rare breakfast time.
Breakfast is also optional, and each person can take 3 portions. For example, a bowl of noodles is one portion, and a portion of buns and pastries is 2.
Yan Lan picked out a bowl of fragrant beef noodles, a serving of two steamed buns, and a bottle of milk. Since Snowball didn't get a pass this time, they each gave him a little, and his bowl was instantly overflowing.
Yan Lan took a bite of the bun, then slowly sipped the milk. She couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't had such pure milk in a long time."
Ji Zhou put down his chopsticks upon hearing this and looked up at her. "Come to think of it, in the district I used to stay in, there was a milkman who dropped all kinds of milk every day. If you like him, I'd recommend him to you?"
Yan Lan nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, thank you so much!"
Shi Yuanyuan listened at the side with perked-up ears, a little envious: "His job is really good. When people want to drink milk, they naturally think of him to trade with. My job as a deliveryman is not bad, but the supplies dropped every day are different. I lack a stable customer base, so few people come to ask me specifically."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhou glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, "It's good enough to have a job, but you're still so picky. Besides, when did you not secretly enjoy the takeout you dropped? When did you actually sell it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Wen, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little more relaxed.
Shi Yuanyuan's thoughts were revealed by Yuan Zhou's words. Her face flushed slightly. She glared at her in feigned anger and said defensively, "I was just saying it casually."
Yan Lan quietly surveyed the five people sitting there, a feeling welling up in her heart. Compared to when they first entered the survival game, they were no longer rookies. Each of them had acquired unique skills and professions through their own efforts.
She has strong combat capabilities, and with the added power of her "magnification" skills and "sign-in system", she is simply invincible.
Ji Zhou has the skill of foresight. In the qualifying match, he led everyone to defeat the cannibal tribe and won a special reward. His upper limit of health increased to 200, and his strength and speed achieved a qualitative leap. He is second to none in terms of combat effectiveness.
Yuan Zhou’s skill is flash, which allows her to be at ease on the battlefield whether it is a surprise attack or a retreat.
Luo Wen is a "pharmacist" who can drop various potions. In addition, he is proficient in medical skills and is an indispensable part of the team.
The breakfast portion was very generous, with a full bowl of beef noodles and buns as big as two fists. Although some were shared with Snowball, the others still had bulging stomachs.
After enjoying a hearty breakfast, the five-member team leisurely strolled through the supply station. They passed a convenience store, where the shelves still held familiar items. Everyone briefly browsed around before leaving without further shopping.
The players at the convenience store lined up in an orderly manner, and behaved themselves even when there were no staff. This was probably due to the knowledge gained by players who had been there before. They had explained the rules and precautions of the supply station in the group chat in advance, thus avoiding a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The door to the game city is open, but unlike last time, this time you need to use your balance to purchase play times to enter.
Yan Lan spent part of her precious 60,000 balance on buying ore, and now only 50,000 is left, so she did not spend any money in the game.
We walked and stopped along the way, and it took an hour to finish the tour, so everyone went back to their RVs to rest.
Food, accommodation and transportation are all free at the supply station, and there is no need to travel on the road to look for treasure chests. Yan Lan had nothing to do, so she turned on the TV to watch.
The rare leisure time is particularly precious to her, as if it is a touch of embellishment in her busy life, just like the deep longing for the weekend for office workers or students after a week of hard work and study.
A light-hearted variety show was playing on TV. She laughed out loud from time to time while watching it. After watching for a while, a quick system prompt sound came from the game panel.
Yan Lan felt strange. Her friends were all safe and sound at the supply station. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any urgent matter that required her immediate response.
She opened the system message with doubts, and found that the sender was Yang Xiaoyang, who she had not contacted for a long time. She had obtained several rare drawings from Yang Xiaoyang, but they had not had much contact other than that.
But this was a long-term work partner, so Yan Lan immediately clicked on his message when she saw it.
"Yan Lan, can you help me? I'm in danger."
Yan Lan didn't hesitate too much and replied directly: "What's wrong?"
"I met other players in this zone at sea. They looked at me..." Yang Xiaoyang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and continued to send messages. "Since I'm so young but I have a raft with built-in protection, they all thought I must have some incredible treasure."
The group of players lived on a simple raft they had built themselves. Although its area was almost the same as Yang Xiaoyang's, it could barely fit ten people. In comparison, Yang Xiaoyang's looked exceptionally luxurious.
Given his young age, it was understandable that he might have hidden treasures. Although he did have treasures, that was a special job he had acquired through luck, so what did it have to do with them?
"They wanted to control me and force me to do their bidding."
Yan Lan actually guessed his occupation, but she believed in win-win cooperation and would not be like a robber who would take other people's things for herself just because she saw that the other party was easy to control.
"How about you now? Are you staying with them?" Yan Lan responded quickly. She guessed that Yang Xiaoyang was probably not very old, so he was still a little afraid of these people.
Yang Xiaoyang: "No, our raft was some distance away, and we didn't dare let them get close."
Those people did try to get closer at first, but Yang Xiaoyang had been living alone for so many days and had already become wary. Their sneaky behavior and the malicious intent in their eyes made him alert immediately.
In order to protect himself, he held the gun tightly in his hand and threatened the other party, hoping that they would keep their distance.
However, this move seemed to backfire. Instead of retreating, the men became even more brazen. Their gazes were fixed on the gun in Yang Xiaoyang's hand. If it weren't for the vast sea between them, they would have rushed over immediately to take the gun for themselves.
Yang Xiaoyang had a strong mental state and fired several bullets quickly and accurately. The players who tried to force their way closer were unfortunately shot.
He just wanted to intimidate them, so each of them only fired one shot. These players still had health points, and they only needed to pull out the bullets and use medicine to survive.
But what he didn't expect was that these people were so shameless that they used the two injured players as human shields in front of them and continued to approach his raft.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaoyang increased his firepower, and the distance between the two rafts was kept at a reasonable distance.
I thought they would retreat like this, but unexpectedly the conflict did not subside, but instead caused even greater waves.
Those players who hadn't been hit shouted from a distance, saying they would spread rumors about him in the group chat.
Yang Xiaoyang didn't care at first, but they really distorted his deeds and even made up all kinds of false words to incite the emotions of other players.
For a time, he became the target of public criticism, and many players began to feel hostile towards him. Some even formed gangs and threatened to unite and eliminate him.
Yang Xiaoyang knew that he was in an isolated and helpless situation and he could no longer stay in this area, so he found Yan Lan. He knew that Yan Lan would definitely be a suitable ally. Putting aside long-term plans, it was feasible for her to help him get rid of these guys.
This was indeed the case. When he sent a distress signal to Yan Lan, Yan Lan did not hesitate for a moment and immediately planned a countermeasure for him without even asking what the reward was.
Yan Lan: "I'm in the RV now, I invite you to come over."
When the invitation was sent, Yang Xiaoyang immediately clicked to confirm, but then he saw the eye-catching red cross on the screen and his heart tightened.
"No, because you are in a special area and I can't get through."
Yan Lan hadn't thought of this. If players could be invited at will at the supply station, then there would be a big bug in the game.
Just as the two were lost in thought, Yan Lan suddenly had an idea and quickly rummaged through the compartments of her backpack.
Finally, a long-forgotten functional card appeared before her eyes - the teleportation card. She had exchanged this card from Chen Shengsheng a long time ago, but had never used it. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.
