"I have it, no problem." Xu Huo answered and looked at Dai Song, "As you said, I'll get to the Tiantian Fruit Grove to rest before midnight."
Song Dynasty was speechless.
The next step is pretty much the same as before. Every once in a while, we have to deal with strange mutated animals and plants, which not only consumes props, but also consumes the energy of the group. The long period of high alertness and fighting makes everyone exhausted, but Xu Huo has warned Cao Qinglin beforehand.
Don't take action, just let her sit like Dr. Dole.
It was almost one o'clock in the morning when they finally arrived at Tiantian Fruit Forest.
Of course, the fruit forest is not small. The Song Dynasty said that there is a picking garden in the fruit forest, which was originally used for tourists' entertainment. The picking garden was reinforced when the Twin Cities were exploring the Stairway to Heaven a few years ago. It should be possible to take shelter there temporarily.
"If you still need it." He added.
"The level of the props in my place is not high, so it would be better if I could enter the picking garden." Xu Huo asked the housekeeping robot to drive the car into the picking garden.
However, Dai Song said it too politely. The so-called "reinforcement" was just adding iron bars to the glass window and randomly nailing some to the wall. It was more of a psychological effect, and the fences outside the picking garden had all been destroyed.
Part of the wall in the accommodation area also collapsed, leaving only a relatively empty large restaurant that was not damaged by the alien species.
It is best to use venue props in a relatively spacious place, and there is also a restaurant and kitchen in the "only entrance", so Xu Huo chose the location in front of the picking garden, so that the arch at the entrance faces the outside.
The car also drove into the "only entrance" and saw that the tools inside were quite complete, and the door was blocked and the smell was not easy to escape.
"Leave the cooking to me." Gou Wu immediately said: "Work hard in the game, and I will cook a good meal for everyone!"
Xu Huo readily handed over the pork leg to him to cook, and motioned for Cao Qinglin and Dr. Dole to sit at the same table, while he sat down at the table next to him.
The aroma of the food quickly wafted out, and Fan Zhigang brought a bowl to the table. Cao Qinglin cooperated with Xu Huo, asking him with her eyes first, and then picking up the chopsticks after he nodded. Dr. Dole was not stupid either, and moved in unison with her.
Fan Zhigang and the others have been paying attention to these two people for a long time, but they don't know who is "Dr. Dole". Naturally, the "Dr. Dole" that Xu Huo and the others received may not be true, but if it is true, they
I got a good deal by going to the next city with my colleagues, so there was no need to explore too much.
So both parties finished the meal in a harmonious atmosphere.
And with the props in place for self-defense, they can rest for a few hours before hitting the road.
Fan Zhigang was very interested in knife props. After dinner, he found Xu Huo and wanted to borrow his black knife.
Xu obtained a black knife named "Indestructible", which is an A-level item. Although it cannot be attacked from a distance, similar items can be destroyed. Killing several alien species is no different from chopping vegetables.
Of course, props like this that do not have activation conditions or special effects can be used smoothly even by non-owners.
"This is a B-level prop at least." Fan Zhigang fumbled with the blade and couldn't hide his love for it, "It's really beautifully made!"
Then he also showed his collection to Xu Huo. He collected more than ten knives in total, ranging from C-level to B-level. However, he was reluctant to use the B-level knife, and the blades were sealed with materials.
.
"Were you a doctor before?" Xu Huo asked casually.
Fan Zhigang nodded, "The surgeon is quite famous in my family. He studied hard for twenty years and was about to get ahead. However, once he entered the game, he was still poor. It is much harder to accumulate wealth in the game than working hard outside.
"
"Have you ever heard about the genetic diseases in the Spring Bamboo Laboratory?" Xu Huo said: "In other districts, I have never seen such genetic diseases among people in one or two places, unless there is some local pollution source."
"It's really hard to explain," Fan Zhigang agreed: "Besides, I heard that the people in the Twin Cities migrated from other places later. There was nothing wrong with them at first, but after living in the Twin Cities for a few years, they all got sick.
A genetic disease is a bit strange."
"I have seen some research data in the Spring Bamboo Laboratory. It is probably that the people in District 023 themselves have genetic defects. The natural illusion in the district has changed greatly. This group of people living near the Twin Cities have become ill because of the genetic defects. Even though
It won't get better if you leave it, and once this disease occurs, it will be passed from generation to generation. If the root cause is not solved, the children born later will also get the disease."
"People in District 023 have genetic defects?" Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, "Is this the reason why District 023 lacks high-level players?"
"Mostly." Fan Zhigang shrugged, "From a doctor's point of view, inferior genes are easier to eliminate than other genes. Area 023 has been in the game for a long time. It is said that even now there are not many local B-level genes.
A player, let alone an A-level player."
"And they are not united internally." He suddenly changed to another topic, "When we came from other cities, we saw a reward for people in this area. Each head is worth hundreds of thousands. The price for players is even higher.
Look, if your own people kill your own people, how can good seedlings grow?"
"The people you mentioned who were offered bounties are not from District 023 at all." Dai Song said coldly at this time, "They were the first batch of people to move from other districts. Their own district disappeared. District 023 had good intentions.
We took them in and allocated a place for them to live. Unexpectedly, they wanted to completely occupy Area 023 in an attempt to replace the original human race in Area 023. To this end, they also created a large-scale evolutionary event, resulting in the death of a large number of people in Area 023."
"You should know from the reward notice that their appearance is obviously different from the real people in Area 023."
This was a topic he had avoided before, and said: "We are not fighting among ourselves."
Fan Zhigang didn't know much about this part and didn't say much.
However, Xu Huo and others had their own ideas. Although Mr. Chi and others they met in the desert area did not say it explicitly, their attitude was the same as that of Dai Song. They believed that they were from District 023, and denied that people like the Twin Cities were
Also the residents in the city are people from District 023.
Both sides said that the other was an intruder and caused the death evolution incident.
"That's what you said, right?" Qiu Ming said, "On the way here, we encountered an abandoned city where many people died. Most of their facial features are different from yours. Since you said they were from outside the area,
, why did they kill so many people in the evolutionary event?"
Dai Song was a little angry at this time, "That's because you haven't seen the scene where dozens of cities in Area 023 pulled out two-thirds of the population in the same few days. Even if you kill them all three times, you still won't be relieved."
