The people who are still alive in W18 do not feel good to the senses. They are like a pool of stagnant water. Everyone seems to be living numbly and not dead.
"It's like this without any hope at all. It's so miserable." Shangguan Xi muttered in a low voice.
This sentence earned the boy an unfriendly look. The other party took them to the seventh floor of the dormitory building with a straight face, knocked on one of the rooms, and said, "Teacher Ai, I brought two guests back."
After knocking several times in succession, no one in the room responded. The boy's expression changed, and he quickly moved the potted plant in front of the window next to him, reached in, opened the window bolt, and climbed in.
A few seconds later, the boy opened the door and ran out, "Teacher Ai has been kidnapped!"
Xu Huo turned his head and glanced into the room. It was a very ordinary life scene, only the chair in front of the desk was a little special.
"What happened?" Shangguan Xi looked around and said, "There are no signs of a struggle."
The young man didn't bother to talk to him anymore. He just said, "Teacher Ai is bad at walking. He won't leave his wheelchair when he has nothing to do." He ran downstairs and notified other aborigines to look for Teacher Ai.
Teacher Ai is a very important person here. All the aborigines worked together to search the place where they lived, even the underground passages, but no clues were found.
"If they were kidnapped by players, you would never be able to find them." Shangguan Xi said, "Have strangers been here before?"
The boy had been outside for the past two days, so he quickly asked other people, and finally got a clue from a teenage boy. It turned out that a player came nearby yesterday evening and asked them if there was anyone here from the W19 base.
Man, that child was too thoughtful to say anything. Later, the player seemed to have a casual conversation with him, and felt sorry for him because he hadn't eaten anything good, so he gave him something to eat.
Children can listen to adults and not disclose the situation in the protective net to outsiders, but there are many ways to stop players. Children may not even know what they have leaked.
"Teacher Ai is a resident of W19?" Xu Huo asked.
"Teacher Ai fled to W19 from another base city. Later, W19 was gone and he came to W18." The young man said angrily: "Those people must know that he is familiar with the terrain, so they captured him to lead the way."
"I don't understand a bit." Shangguan Xi said to Xu Huo, "Can't you buy a map? Why do you have to have someone lead the way?"
It doesn't matter to ordinary people, but for players, even if the wild environment is harsh, it won't be too dangerous at all, and it won't be a big problem to follow the map.
"Our main purpose is to save time on the road." Xu Huo said: "There are only three samples. Think about how many players there are."
The bracelets sent to them by the dungeon probably need to be entered into W19 to locate the living sample. Even if they want to form a team, they have to get the sample first. Otherwise, how will they clear the game?
"Then it's over!" Shangguan Xi slapped his thigh, "If someone gets off the car and goes directly to the W19 base, we will suffer a big loss!"
"Then grab it." Xu Huo said calmly, and then asked the young man, "Does Teacher Ai know the underground passage out of the city?"
There are many nests of flying alien species on the large fence of the security base. The best way to leave without disturbing them is to walk on the ground or underground.
Of course, the ground is not safe enough, not to mention that you have to carry a person with limited legs and feet, so under normal circumstances, everyone will give priority to the existing underground passages.
The young man's expression showed that there was indeed a passage out of the city, but he did not want to reveal the passage to outsiders.
"You can show us the way." Xu Huo said, "The conditions agreed before remain unchanged."
He didn't say much, but gave the boy some time to think.
However, the young man did not hesitate for too long and said: "I don't need food, but you have to save Teacher Ai!"
"I need him to lead the way, and of course I hope he lives." Xu Huo said, "I can only promise that I will not hurt him."
This is enough.
The young man nodded cheerfully, explained a few words to his family, and prepared to take them to the entrance of the underground passage.
Before leaving, Xu Huo gave the young mother a bag of rice and a bag of frozen vegetables, genuine rice and vegetables.
"Why do you bring these things?" Shang Guanxi looked shocked, "It would be better to bring some compressed biscuits."
"Compressed biscuits have no nutrition." Xu Huo explained seriously, but it sounded a bit like a joke.
Shangguan Xi stared at him steadily for a while before holding back a sentence: "Do players still need to pay attention to nutrition?"
Their eyes met, and both sides felt that there was no need to continue to discuss the matter in depth.
A few minutes later, the three people entered the underground passage from a sewage inlet 200 meters away from the protective net.
The underground passage of W18 has been specially modified to look more like a maze. A fork may be connected to more than four forks, not only going forward, backward, left, and right, but also going underground.
"This is too outrageous. The passage out can also go underground..." Before Shangguan Xi could finish his words, the boy jumped down neatly. After landing below, he turned back and explained: "The horizontal passage does not necessarily mean
You can go out, but it may be a dead end in the end."
Xu Huo signaled him to keep quiet and follow him.
The two of them followed the young man in twists and turns for a while, then saw him suddenly stop, and lowered their voices excitedly: "Sure enough, Teacher Ai also chose this path!"
There were traces of someone walking on the fork in the road ahead. Although there were also traces on other roads, the boy seemed to be able to identify the mark left by Teacher Ai.
The young man was eager to find Teacher Ai, so he speeded up the journey, but after walking a little further, a trap suddenly appeared in the passage - some hidden weapons stuck on the wall of the passage, which were blocked by Shangguan Xi with quick eyes and hands, and then triggered in front.
poisonous gas!
"It's really inhumane!" Shangguan Xi said: "The underground passages extend in all directions, and the poison gas will definitely spread everywhere. This dose cannot poison the players, and they will not leave a way for the indigenous people to survive at all."
The young man pressed the gas mask given by Xu Huo with one hand and plunged into the poisonous mist.
Although the people who walked in front left behind some childish traps, they were more than enough to deal with an ordinary person. In the end, Shangguan Xi stopped the young man and walked ahead, letting him show the way.
"My little friend, as someone who has been there, I would like to advise you to leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood. I know that you are eager to save people, but even if you are passionate, you will not be golden. If you rush in and be killed, let alone save people, you will not even save people."
There’s no one to collect the bodies, so why bother?”
"Besides, your teacher Ai will definitely not leave a mark to ask you to rescue him. Your small body is no match for the player. He just wants to tell you where he is going. He is also delivering food, so why not give it to him properly?"
We lead the way."
The young man looked at him with a pair of dead fish eyes, "Others are players and you are also a player. Why do you talk so much?"
