Chapter 48 Safe Zone 1 (3) - Entering the Safe Zone
"If the game panel can be used as a spatial item, then what's the point of having spatial items?" Ning Shu exclaimed.
"No, that's not it. The game panel can only retrieve items. If this car of mine isn't an item, it can't be retrieved into the game panel." Li Mengqi knew that Ning Shu had misunderstood.
"What? You mean if it's not a prop vehicle, it can't be recalled?" Ning Shu asked in surprise.
"Yes, so spatial items are still very useful, whether inside or outside the instance."
The vehicles in those convoys I just mentioned weren't actually items; they were simply transported out of the instance using items.
I see.
They saw a cluster of relatively low buildings in front of them, surrounded only by barbed wire, without any surrounding walls.
Wu Yi pointed at the barbed wire fence: "Is it impossible for everyone to climb over it?"
Li Mengqi smiled: "You can give it a try."
Wu Yi wasn't stupid; if Li Mengqi said that, it must mean that it was insurmountable, so he rejected her suggestion.
Li Mengqi explained: "The barbed wire you see has no lethality; it's just a symbol."
This is to tell everyone that this is the boundary between the safe zone and the outside.
What's truly lethal is the 'barrier' set up at that location; it's created using props.
Anyone who touches it will be electrocuted, and then the guards of the safe zone will come.
Ning Shu sighed, then asked, "Do other safe zones have this too?"
Li Mengqi: "The larger ones all have similar features, while some smaller safe zones do not."
Cheng Chuan: "If there's nothing there, is it still considered a safe zone?"
Li Mengqi: "No, it's just a group of people getting together to do all sorts of transactions, but the security isn't high."
Some of them are even dens of thieves, so just be careful.
Ning Shu understood, thinking to himself that this game was full of traps; the game itself wasn't the trap, but the players were.
Li Mengqi led them to the entrance, where there were several guards, all of whom were players.
Li Mengqi showed his card, and Ning Shu and the other two paid 10 points and also received their cards, then successfully entered the safe zone.
Wu Yi: "10 points is a bit expensive. If we don't go through the second dungeon, we simply can't afford it."
Li Mengqi: "In the long run, 10 points can be used to stay for 3 months, which is actually very cost-effective."
Ning Shu suddenly remembered a question: "What would happen if the little card disappeared while we were inside and never came out?"
Li Mengqi: "It's not that great. Lots of people inside who don't have those little cards are doing just fine, it's just..."
Li Mengqi's hesitation piqued the curiosity of the three.
Seeing the three people staring at her, she found it somewhat amusing and figured there was no harm in explaining, so she continued:
"People without small cards are generally those without points; they earn a living by serving people who have points."
Wu Yi understood: "So that means working for someone else?"
Cheng Chuan immediately understood, glancing at Wu Yi and then at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu's expression was exactly the same as Wu Yi's, and Cheng Chuan suddenly realized that Ning Shu was actually quite naive.
Li Mengqi was genuinely amused by Wu Yi's explanation and offered a brief explanation:
"This is one of the methods; you'll learn about it later."
There's always a way to survive here, but I suggest that if you have the ability, you should still run dungeons.
At this point, Ning Shu did not yet have a deep understanding of Li Mengqi's words.
Li Mengqi: "You don't have a place to stay. If you don't mind, you can stay here for now. It's just that the two gentlemen will have to make do."
Li Mengqi led the three of them to her lodgings, which were on the third floor of a three-story building. They went up the stairs.
Ning Shu discovered that even someone like Li Mengqi could only live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment.
Li Mengqi: "Ning Shu and I will stay in the room, and the two gentlemen can stay in the living room."
The store sells bedding, pillows, and other similar items; you can buy them yourself and use them later.
Ning Shu felt that if the game panel hadn't become unusable after entering a dungeon, they really wouldn't have needed to consider buying space items anymore.
The game panel is very convenient.
Li Mengqi: "You can rest first and then go out for a walk. Here are my house keys, please take them."
I have to go out for a bit, so stay out there and make sure you're visible. Contact me if anything happens.
After saying that, Li Mengqi left. Ning Shu thought she was probably going to settle accounts with the person who tricked her into entering the dungeon.
Cheng Chuan suggested, "Let's rest for a bit first, and then we can go for a walk together."
Ning Shu and Wu Yi both nodded in agreement.
After buying bedding and pillows at the mall, Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi wanted to take a nap, but found themselves to be extremely dirty.
After buying a change of clothes from the store, I went to take a shower first.
While they were taking a shower, Ning Shu was also looking at clothes in the store. She had completed two dungeons wearing only her underwear and Wu Yi's clothes.
Before, there was no opportunity to change clothes, but now that there is, I have to take my time to choose carefully.
Ning Shu felt that this game was similar to surviving in the apocalypse, and thought that the clothes should be suitable for escaping, so she chose a set of sportswear.
She felt bad about spending 5 points, but there was nothing she could do; she needed a change of clothes.
When it was her turn to take a shower, she noticed a sign hanging in the bathroom.
The sign says that showers should not exceed 10 minutes to conserve water.
She found it strange; what was the point of setting a time? The amount of water used was the key factor.
She only understood the meaning of the tip when she turned on the shower.
The water usage is fixed, and the water output is pitifully low.
It's rare to find shampoo and shower gel available at a time like this; it's really a great deal. So she washed herself from head to toe.
Because there were boys around, Ning Shu didn't dare wear pajamas and instead wore her tracksuit.
However, what she wore underneath was quite comfortable; it was the kind of clothing she could sleep in after taking off her outer clothes.
After the three of them took a nap, they woke up around 3 p.m.
First, I ate a meal, and then went out to find out more about this safe zone.
Ning Shu was still a little dizzy and complained, "It's all the fault of this Paradise instance. It has turned my days and nights upside down and made my sleep schedule completely irregular."
Wait a minute! Ning Shu realized there was an even more serious problem.
Will this disrupt her period? She quickly brought up the game panel and swiped around a bit.
She felt much more at ease after finally seeing the item that put her mind at ease; girls' worries are quite diverse.
Cheng Chuan noticed her expression and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Ning Shu had no right to tell him about such a thing: "It's nothing."
The three of them toured around Safe Zone 1 and gained a general understanding of it.
The entire area mainly consists of multi-story buildings with 6 floors or less, with a few high-rise buildings and a very small number of villas.
The former two are on both sides of the main street, while the latter is on both sides of the side road. The former is noisy, while the latter is quiet, making the gap between the rich and the poor obvious.
There was even a section of one-story building near the farmland.
When Ning Shu saw farmland, he was surprised. Even in a game, the farming genes in Chinese people have to play a role.
Before I could even feel happy about seeing the fresh vegetables, I noticed a group of people moving around in the buildings near the farmland.
Clothes were drying outside the building; those people must live near the farmland.
There were people living in even worse conditions, but perhaps it was because they were farming?
Cheng Chuan also saw those people: "It seems life here isn't easy either."
Because he saw that those people were pale and thin, clearly malnourished.
Ning Shu glanced at him after hearing what he said, and remained silent.
Wu Yi had obviously seen it too, and suddenly said, "Brother Chuan, Sister Ning, from now on I'll follow you. Wherever you go, I'll go."
The environment here made Wu Yi uneasy. He didn't want to farm, and he knew nothing but parkour.
Here, he only knew Cheng Chuan and Ning Shu, and he felt that the two of them were more capable than him. More importantly, they would not betray their friends.
They had saved him so many times that he now trusted them completely.
Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan rolled their eyes at him.
