Chapter 237 The First Night
[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]
Lin Wu did not move in place, but she was not standing under the scorching sun with a look of non-cai as she imagined.
A small parasol was set up on the thick sandy ground, and there was a camping folding chair under the parasol. Lin Wu, who had already changed into a thin sunscreen suit, was sitting there slowly, drinking the ice cola in his hand.
The jeep stopped in front of him, and You Xi lowered the window and joked with a smile: "I feel your temperament of being free from evil and European."
Lin Wu:...
He silently stepped forward, handed her a bottle of ice coke, then packed the folding chair and parasol before putting it in the space. There was no way, his space was relatively small, only ten cubic meters, and the items he took out could not be put back if he didn't sort them out.
You Xi opened the ice coke and took a few sips, placed it on the cup holder beside him, found a piece of sunglasses from the space and handed it to Lin Wu who was getting on the car, and then started the car again.
An hour later, the two climbed to the highest point of the rock mountain and used a telescope to check the surrounding situation.
This is a vast wasteland, wherever you see, there are white sand dunes, red rocks, and Gobi that never grows. There is no green vegetation, and no buildings are visible. The four directions of southeast, west and north are almost the same, except that you can vaguely see some black shadows at the end of the horizon in the extreme north.
But the distance is too far, even if it is You Xi's vision, you can't tell what those black shadows are.
Because the height of the rock mountain is sufficient, you can see other passengers in the nearby wasteland this time.
Some of them walked through the winding paths between the rocks and mountains, some walked slowly and difficult to move forward along the sand dunes, and some sat down on the Gobi near the rocks and mountains, blocking the scorching sun with the shadow of the rocks.
Among all, there were almost no fully equipped passengers like Youxi.
Whether it is a novice passenger with only 10 items, or a traveler who has experienced several sites, accidentally gained an increase in items after completing several hidden tasks, or is very lucky to obtain new skills - several cubic meters of small spaces, it is impossible for a passenger who has fully stocked up supplies at the same time.
After all, sites with "unlimited currency" open depend on luck, and usually only the first stop for novice travelers.
Many veteran passengers with ruthless methods will focus on this type of novice passengers, in order to get the resources dropped by the other party after killing them - even if the resource is dropped purely by luck, "unlimited currency" may not appear, and they would rather kill by mistake than let one go.
The rock mountain is pulled out by the sunlight, and it can be judged based on the direction and the location of the sun. It should be in the evening, and the sun is about to set. The specific time is uncertain. After all, there is no signal here, and mobile phones and jeeps cannot be automatically proofread.
Moreover, in some Gobi areas, the sunset is extremely late, and it may be seven or eight o'clock in the evening now.
All in all, they have to find a place to spend the night first, and then discuss the prompt rules and next steps for this site.
In one or two hours, the scorching temperature in the Gobi Desert dropped a little, and the body sensation was about thirty degrees. They estimated that it would be colder at night, so according to the wind direction, they found a depression in the leeward of the rock mountain.
The concave was embedded in a huge rock, with a flat surface, seven or eight meters above the ground, and surrounded by rock walls on three sides, making it a good camping site.
Considering the issue of vigil, the two of them finally built only one tent. The tent was placed on the side of the rock wall, and a confined space could be formed by the rainproof fabric outside the tent and the rock wall covering. This space is also used by Youxi.
The four corners of the tent were pressed with heavy rocks they picked up, and then placed a moisture-proof mat and a thermal insulation mat, and the work was done. Anyway, both of them had room, so just take out the sleeping bag when they wanted to sleep.
Afterwards, Youxi placed a folding camping table and two camping chairs outside the tent, and a cassette stove and a kettle were placed on the ground, which she planned to use to brew the ear-hanging coffee.
The bottled mineral water she stocked is suitable for drinking when she is on the road, so Lin Wu took out 1 l of mineral water from the space, poured it in and then turned on the fire and boiled the water.
As for dinner, they don't need to make it because the packed set meals in her space have almost not moved much. The various noodle soup, porridge, rice, rice, wontons, dumplings, snacks, snacks, and drinks that were slowly added every day for more than 30 days. She even allowed Lin Wu to choose any of the Northwest cuisine, cuisine, barbecue, Cantonese, Sichuan cuisine and fast food.
"It's okay, my set meals are all for a single person. Please choose one from me first. If you don't have enough food, you can make up for it appropriately." You Xi made the decision directly.
In the end, the two chose Sichuan cuisine. Lin Wu was stunned when spicy chicken, dry pot bullfrog, salivation chicken, boiling fish, hand-pulled cabbage, garlic water spinach, a large portion of white rice and a large bowl of intestinal bamboo fungus soup appeared on the table.
"Is this one person's share?" Good... it's really one person's share.
You Xi took out the ice coke that had just drunk one-third of the space and reclaimed it. "The packaging boxes were all entrusted to people from the restaurant to buy them. I was afraid that there would be not enough, so I asked them to choose the biggest one to buy..."
As a result, the other party was very real and bought her an oversized partition packing box. At that time, she thought that she had room anyway, so she could just put it in and then take it out and continue eating. Now it was good, and it happened to be enough for two people to have a meal.
The depression faces the west of the sun gradually setting. The sunset in the Gobi desert is very beautiful. The sky is rendered in a magnificent orange-red color, and the temperature has dropped to more than 20 degrees, which is comfortable and pleasant.
This Sichuan cuisine restaurant is very famous, and every dish is delicious. After the two of them had a hearty and delicious supper, Lin Wu cleaned up the packaging box and chopsticks, took out a garbage bag and packed the things, and then put them in his own space.
"Are you planning to find the trash can here and then throw it away?" You Xi joked.
He was slightly stunned: "Then let us throw it away when we leave."
When he was packing up, You Xi made two cups of ear-hanging coffee in a stainless steel cup for camping, added 0 fat sugar and milk, and then took out the notebook and pen as usual, preparing to analyze the current information with Lin Wu.
Obviously, the main tasks of this site are like Wukongcheng, and they need to find a hidden station within a limited time, and then board the train with a valid ticket.
At present, Youxi has two train tickets left, and Lin Wu has one train station left, all of which were obtained after being attacked and killed.
When you are outside the station, you may get a ticket if you complete a random task or a hidden task. After killing passengers, you will get a random resource if you are lucky.
When inside the station, as long as the passenger is killed, the ticket will be dropped immediately.
So, this is the reason why many poor-lucked passengers will give it a try during the last hour boarding time.
"So, this world encourages fighting." After You Xi recorded, he put a question mark after the line of words, "But the same sentence is still the case, there is no killing for no reason, what is the reason for encouraging fighting?"
Perhaps finding the reason is equivalent to solving the mystery of the endless train world, and then ending the mission and breaking free from this world.
Afterwards, the two focused on studying the information of this station.
This site is vast and lacks water resources. It is obviously a copy of survival. If you want to find a hidden station in such a place, there are only a few choices: cities, oasis, ruins and monuments.
In addition, there are currently no indigenous people on this site, and all they can meet should be passengers. Between the mission time, there will be many batches of passengers who get off the bus at different times at the same site. Some people may have been here for more than ten or twenty days. They must know more about this place than their group of passengers who have just got off the bus.
Perhaps they can inquire about the hidden station from other travelers.
In short, they have sufficient water and supplies, which have more advantages than other passengers. Of course, this advantage can easily cause them trouble, and fortunately, both of them are cautious and unpretentious.
Finally, regarding the "Eastern Egg" mission started by You Xi, Lin Wu felt that it might be the key to solving the mystery of the world.
——It is the most precious gem in the barren world.
Water? Plants? Seeds? Oasis?
If you want to find these, you will definitely not be able to stay where you are.
Finally, You Xi drew several landforms near them and the southeast, northwest and northeast on paper. The two decided to go north along the rock mountain first. The black shadows on the horizon may be ruins, cities, and of course, they may be just mirages and nothing.
"I'll confirm it tomorrow morning."
After the two finished the discussion, Youxi put away the cassette stove and kettle, paused, and took out the portable toilet I had bought before: "I bought two, do you need to give you the other?"
Lin Wu:...
"No, no need." He clenched his hand into a fist, pressed against his lips and coughed softly, "I will solve it myself... That, I'll be on the night tonight, you...you can do it."
You Xi finished "at randomly" and used the warm water stored in the water storage tank to simply wash his face and hands. After getting out of the rainproof fabric, he found that the chair originally placed in the tent area was moved to the edge of the rock far from the tent.
Lin Wu was stuffed with cordless headphones and was looking down at the bottom not far from the rock.
The smell of instant noodles floated in the air. You Xi walked over and looked along his sight and found a small team of passengers.
Because she and Lin Wu's camp were on a high place, and the sky was getting darker and a distance was getting darker and they did not make fire, so the people there did not find them.
The other party had about six or seven people, and from the seat, they were distributed around the ignition of the fire in a two, two or three way way.
She listened carefully to their conversation and found that it was roughly the same as her guess. This was a temporary team, mainly due to material problems.
This site has scarce resources and depends entirely on its own inventory, but its items are limited, so some resources that can be used together are naturally more cost-effective in adopting a cooperative model.
For example, fuel for ignition, wood for ignition, pots, bowls, chopsticks, tents and sleeping bags, etc. are not important and essential supplies.
Of course, it also includes finding the direction of the hidden station, which is also the focus of their discussion at the moment.
On the western horizon, the last glimmer disappeared.
The temperature in the Gobi Desert dropped very quickly. Lin Wu did not have the physical fitness of Youxi. She had already taken out the down jacket and wrapped it in. Youxi stuffed a fully charged hand warmer to him, saying that she would go to bed first and let him be on duty for the first shift. She would wait for him six hours before she would take him.
Although the phones they bought in Wukongcheng cannot be used, there is a countdown on the phone screen of the Endless Train World, which is very easy to plan the time.
Lin Wu had originally planned to stay at her all night tonight, but he nodded to her when he heard this, but thought in his heart that he would not wake her up later and let her sleep until dawn.
It was naturally impossible for You Xi to sleep until dawn. In fact, she only slept for a few hours before she was awakened by the screams and fighting sounds from under the rocks.
She quickly got out of her sleeping bag and put on her down jacket and left the tent.
Lin Wu was lying on the edge of the rock. When she heard her come out and booed her.
The sound came from the camp where the passengers were temporarily teaming up. The fire lit up a circle of gravel land around them. More than a dozen black giant insects more than a half meter long were surrounding the passengers.
The black worm had huge forelimbs and its tail was raised high, which looked very similar to the black creature that appeared on the platform.
"It's a mutated scorpion." Lin Wu lowered his voice, "It's very toxic. He just sneaked into a sneak attack, and that person is now poisoned and unable to move."
During the time Lin Wu conveyed the message to her, another group of black scorpions appeared from the direction of the rock mountain and headed towards the passengers next to the fire. These scorpions were more dense than the previous group, and they looked like there were twenty or thirty.
