Chapter 119 Crossroads
"Then let's go."
Qin Mengmeng's words broke the silence in the room.
The Hound was the first to raise an objection: "Are we just going to set off like this? Without considering other routes?"
He said: "Perhaps we can consider using drones to explore other routes and see if there are any safer routes."
Yu Jiuye was happy.
"Are you scared?"
"That's called being cautious." The Hound retorted, "Since I've come to the live broadcast room, I can't be a person who is afraid of death. Do you think everyone is the same as you?"
Yu Jiuye’s face turned dark.
The dormitory head's face darkened: "What is there to be afraid of? Don't you believe in me, uh, our strength?"
The little ghost nodded beside her.
Qin Mengmeng looked at the comments on her phone and saw that everyone had their own opinions.
[Paper Immortal: You have to send it away sooner or later, so it’s better to send it away sooner rather than later.]
This is Old Man Ma. All his accounts were registered by Qin Mengmeng, so the nickname was naturally given by her.
【I was born in Rome: When it comes to safety, it’s better to be careful. 】
[I am an idiot: Safety? Why would anyone care whether this kind of live broadcast is safe or not? If it is not thrilling or exciting enough, why would anyone watch it?]
…
Amidst the chaos, Qin Mengmeng decided, "Let's take this road."
Not to mention that other routes have not been explored and whether they are safer.
In her mind, the New City of Hell is either a survival game full of dangers or a city that she needs to clean up and restore to its original appearance.
She would think it was the latter.
Xincheng is her hometown. She can't suppress her savior complex and clean up the roads in Xincheng.
"We started from Xincheng High School, passed Hele Road first, and then turned to Ping'an Street. The Second Hospital is located in the south of Ping'an Street."
Qin Mengmeng nodded and said, "If it were during the day, this journey would actually take less than twenty minutes."
The kid had been quiet at the side, but suddenly said confidently: "It might be faster at night, and we don't have to wait for the red light."
Qin Mengmeng laughed out loud to show her respect.
"That's true."
Even though there are traffic lights here, there are no traffic police, so it doesn't matter if you run a few red lights.
"Let's release the drone first." The dormitory head suggested enthusiastically.
Only on this point did everyone reach a consensus.
Everyone wants to fly a drone.
After a fierce competition, Yu Jiuye, the owner of the drone, successfully obtained the first wave of usage rights. He controlled the drone to take off under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Although he was so skilled at basic operations that there was no need to question them and there was absolutely no possibility of making mistakes, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. He felt inexplicably nervous, as if he was a person who had never appeared in the public eye and was suddenly pushed onto the stage.
Fortunately, today’s drones are really easy to operate.
Yu Jiuye quickly controlled the drone as if it were a toy, and flew it along Hele Road towards the intersection where the family of three was.
Wang Mianmian looked at Yu Jiuye's operation and thought: "It looks very simple..."
The doll also said: "Simple, simple, simple."
Yu Jiuye stared at the screen on the console, which was connected to the camera on the drone. At this moment, he could see the white crossroads under the full moon from the picture transmitted by the camera.
"It's very simple. It's essentially a big toy." Yu Jiuye said casually, and soon burst out with a cry: "Fuck!!!"
In the middle of the intersection, a little boy who was only as tall as his mother's waist raised his head, shook his head, raised a finger and pointed it into the air.
Then the screen went black.
Yu Jiuye's face turned completely dark now.
Qin Mengmeng patted his shoulder silently as a comfort.
Yu Jiuye had just received the drone. He had just unpacked the packaging box in front of everyone, and it had not even been ten minutes since he had gotten it into his hands and flown it out.
That’s all.
"How much did you buy it for?" Wang Mianmian asked with a blink.
Yu Jiuye said weakly: "A few thousand yuan, it's not expensive, that's it."
It's like being about to show your skills and make great plans, but being killed by a sneak attack from the boss before leaving the novice village.
"Things shouldn't be developing in this direction..."
The Hound laughed and said, "Are you planning to follow the online novel script where modern technology beats the poor natives?"
Yu Jiuye has indeed read a lot of online articles recently.
He slammed the table in frustration.
"It seems that these bastards don't accept technological means, nor do they accept metaphysical means. They are just like bastards who are determined not to accept this or that!"
Qin Mengmeng smiled and said, "Your Chinese seems to have improved a lot."
Yu Jiuye said angrily: "My Chinese has always been good. I passed the level 8 exam."
The dormitory head asked seriously: "Which one is better, Chinese Level 8 or English Level 8?"
This question stumped all the adults.
The hound said: "I didn't pass the Chinese Level 8 exam..."
Everyone looked at Yu Jiuye. He might be the only one who had taken both exams. Yu Jiuye said blankly, "I don't know. Chinese and English have been my mother tongue since elementary school."
The kid was amazed: "How can someone have two mother tongues?"
"Actually, there are three." Yu Jiuye said, "And the local dialect of Jiuchen, which I have known since I was a child."
【Little Bear Doll: Wow! So amazing! 】
[I was born in Rome: OK, now I admit that I lost. The two foreign languages I master are far from the level of my mother tongue.]
…
Qin Mengmeng tapped the table gently, ending the conversation about foreign language learning and bringing the conversation back to the main topic.
"Does anyone remember that we were actually exploring the way?"
The dormitory head floated to the table, picked up the rag doll and held it in his arms, saying loudly: "They are just three greenhorns! Why bother to explore the way? A group of us will join hands to kill them and capture them easily!"
The little devil agreed very much, silently raised his two arms and cast two votes in favor.
Qin Mengmeng: “…”
Qin Mengmeng rolled up the map on the table and said, "That makes sense."
[The 47th Skull Fragment: Well, if it really doesn't work, let Little Bear hold them back first, and Sister Meng, you can go back to New Town High School with your people to get some help.]
As the saying goes, the beginning is always difficult.
Many things become simpler and simpler once you get the hang of it as you accumulate experience step by step.
Just like the lv.2 anchor who obviously has stronger strength but also has the strongest protection, Qin Mengmeng is no longer the person whose life hangs by a thread at any time since her live broadcast. She has made many friends.
She said, "Yes, at worst, we can just run back."
Shake people.
This is the professional skill of a professional anchor.
So the group went out, and Qin Mengmeng stayed behind to turn off the lights in the tea shop. When she turned around, she saw that in the glaring moonlight, in the dark building of Xincheng High School opposite, there was only a bright light that was brighter than the moonlight.
A tall black shadow stood under the light, by the window, seeming to be casting a gaze at the tea shop from afar.
Qin Mengmeng calmly raised her arm and greeted the black shadow.
The teaching buildings and dormitory buildings of Xincheng High School are both located on the north side facing the mountain and are guarded by the office buildings like treasures.
Standing at the gate of Xincheng High School, people can only see one building, which is the office building.
I think the figure in the office building is only the principal.
After Qin Mengmeng said hello, she turned her head and counted the number of people, confirming that there were three ghosts and four people, no more, no less. When they lined up and prepared to set off, she suddenly glanced over and saw that the lights in the office building opposite went out, and the black shadow disappeared.
"The moonlight here is so beautiful." Wang Mianmian exclaimed.
Before setting off, they were very nervous, recalled many classic plots from supernatural and horror movies, and prepared themselves mentally.
It didn't affect the journey at all. After walking along the long street, people soon became bored and didn't know what to do.
Life is not like many games where you can start from one event and immediately rush to the next one.
The road must be taken step by step.
Fortunately, when there is someone to talk to, you can walk faster than if you are alone.
After walking along the entire Hele Road, there was a crossroads turning south not far away, and the voices of the group gradually faded away.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Such an empty city, such a piece of moonlight that illuminates all around like a white ground.
When these few living people in the city stopped talking, all the warmth disappeared, and everything was as cold as death.
【Xiao Tuanyuan: I suddenly became scared.】
[Skull fragment 47: Well, I have some of that, too.]
The rag doll was held in Wang Mianmian's arms and suddenly said, "Don't be afraid."
Qin Mengmeng said softly: "Well, it would be best if there is no conflict, but if there is a conflict, you don't have to worry about us, just hold the little bear and run back."
Wang Mianmian blinked and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
She wasn't really scared.
Just as Hound said before, if you are afraid of death, you won’t come to this live broadcast room.
She just felt a little... unsure about the way forward.
If it was a rule-based ghost story that killed countless people, or an evil ghost that was extremely evil, or an obvious enemy, it might be better. Although she didn't seem to have much strength, it seemed that she would die if she really faced those bad guys. But it was actually not bad.
The trouble is, until now, she still doesn't know whether the person she is about to face is an enemy or a friend.
If you treat your enemy as a friend, or treat your friend as an enemy...it would be more painful than death.
Wang Mianmian was in such a dilemma and felt at a loss as to what to do.
But soon, she raised her head and saw Qin Mengmeng not far in front of her, and she remembered that this time, she was no longer the one who shouldered the responsibility, stood in the middle of the crowd, and made crucial decisions that affected the fate of many people.
This time, the leader is the person in the front who is always calm, always unperturbed, and always able to make people trust her.
She just had to trust her.
Then follow her.
The final result will never let her down.
Wang Mianmian finally felt relaxed.
They turned the corner and saw the entire intersection, and saw a family of three wandering at the intersection.
A middle-aged woman in a red sweater was sitting on the curb, holding the hand of a little boy in a blue cotton-padded jacket and an ill-fitting oversized woolen coat. The drone in the boy's hand had been broken into pieces in just a few moments.
Yu Jiuye: “…”
Qin Meng turned his head slightly and met the woman's gaze. He thought for a moment and nodded slightly as a greeting. Then he withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at them. He walked slowly and steadily at the set pace.
She was as calm as if she were walking on a crowded street in the daytime and met a rude stranger.
The kid and the dormitory head behind her turned their heads away and stared at them reluctantly, as if they were looking at a plate of delicious meat.
The woman lowered her head, pulled the little boy back to her side and controlled him.
