Returning from the abyss

Chapter 301 Decision
Action doesn't mean everyone has to go out.Yan Rong, Rong Han, and Xu Jianqi, who are better at combat, took over the investigation mission, while Lu Ning and the others first had to get acquainted with the situation of the dormitory.

The dormitory building has four floors, and the stairs leading to the fourth floor were blocked by a lot of debris, and several ropes were pulled.Teng Zijian and others lived in a row of dormitories on the second floor, and Lu Ning did not get too close, because there were a few people standing by the windows in that corridor, as if they were warning her.

The third floor was deserted, and the dormitory here seemed to have been lived in by no one. The beds were only made of iron frames and wooden boards, with obvious signs of rust and insects.Occasionally, a few canvas bags can be seen thrown on the ground, but they are also empty. It is estimated that what was there has been searched by the people downstairs.

After looking around, Lu Ning came to the window at the end of the corridor again. The sky outside was completely dark, and now she couldn't see the "Rain Master" walking in the sky. It is very unsafe for people who are not good at using force to go out.

"Lu Ning, come downstairs."

Ning Yeyi called her downstairs, and Lu Ning returned to the activity room.Ning Yeyi was tinkering with her computer. She didn't throw it away in all the panics before, but it was inevitable that it got soaked in some water. Fortunately, it can still be used.

Surprisingly, there is a small cylindrical stove on the table that exudes a warm orange light, which looks very attractive in this wet weather.

Lu Ning walked to the table and stretched out her hand to warm the wet sleeves. It would definitely not dry in a short time, but it was very comfortable.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"I asked Liushan for borrowing it. If I want to restart the computer, I have to dry the water first." Ning Yeyi tapped the keyboard twice, "It's done. The waterproof function of computers in this era is good, and it can still be started."

"Have you dealt with those people again?"

"You can tell from their actions that they are not particularly difficult to communicate with. If it were me, I would be too lazy to bring a group of oil bottles to survive in this kind of world." Ning Yeyi pulled a stool for Lu Ning, "Yu Shan looks cold Hot-hearted; Uncle Bao is a bit pessimistic; Chen Qiguang is more cautious, without Teng Zijian's permission, he doesn't want to talk to me, and that Lu Bin is a little bit reckless, but it's easier to talk."

"What's wrong with it?"

"This team was pulled together by Teng Zijian, and he still has some hidden means. We really can't underestimate this captain. But other than these five central figures, people were slowly gathered later, just like the kind in the distribution center. Like a group support group, this team will also put most of its resources on these five people. But the difference is that if anyone dies, the thing will be inherited by another person immediately."

"That's not a good rule."

"Yes, the superposition of desire for survival and greed can easily prompt many people to do something irrational. In fact, Liushan and the others are aware of this, but she said... it is best to keep a relatively large number of people. Safety."

"The reason is unknown?"

Ning Yeyi nodded: "Yu Shan didn't say the specific reason, but it must be one of the experiences accumulated by the previous people."

"Just think about why they don't want to share this experience. The more people the better and the methods to improve the survival rate are obviously the same. There is a contradiction in their decision."

"It's easy to explain. The more people the better, the premise is that you are alive, so sharing that experience will threaten this premise." Ning Yeyi replied casually.

"But it's definitely not a very high threat, otherwise Teng Zijian wouldn't ask for a price. Two hundred copper coins is the price they pay for taking this risk." Lu Ning moved her hand closer to the stove, feeling that most of the water in her hand had been dried.

"Now we need to know what the value of two hundred copper coins is equivalent to, and then make inferences." Ning Yeyi said, "Once money is accumulated, it will undergo a qualitative change, so it is definitely not a trivial item such as daily necessities. The price, but some special items. For example, weapons, information..."

"I'm inclined to intelligence." Lu Ning nodded, "Only this thing can be measured equally by anyone, and weapons have to be differentiated between the types they are good at and the types they are not good at using. Generally speaking, thermal weapons are definitely more expensive, so two hundred It is not easy to divide weapons."

"Then let me provide another comparison." Ning Yeyi pointed to the small stove, "The name of this thing is a temperature regulator, and it actually has two functions of cooling and heating, which is equivalent to a portable air conditioner. Disposable energy can be used for fifteen days, that is, 360 hours. What do you think the price of this thing is?"

"You asked Liu Shan for the purchase price when you borrowed it? Since she is willing to lend it, it shouldn't be very high... twenty copper coins?"

"A bit high, fifteen."

"The merchant still offers this, so it really has everything... Wait, you just said that this thing is an air conditioner?"

"Hmm, I just casually asked about the function and how much I would give Liu Shan if I wanted to buy it. She told me that I can buy a new one from a merchant after I have saved up the money. She has been using this one for a while." Ning Yeyi The corner of his mouth was raised, "It's a very simple message, right?"

This kind of casual inquiry is almost what people like Lu Ning are best at, so of course she understands what information is contained in it.

Teng Zijian and others are obviously not rich, otherwise there would not be only five people as the main fighting force.For such a team, this small air conditioner is definitely not something to enjoy. Even if it is poured in a heavy rain like Lu Ning for a while, it is estimated that most people will choose to fight with their physical fitness instead of buying a heater.In other words, this thing should be a necessity in some worlds you switch to.

Furthermore, since this stove also has a cooling function, the merchants should also sell similar items with a single function. The only reason to buy a dual-function is that there are both extremely cold and extremely hot worlds. Comprehensive consideration is the cheapest.

"We have already made some progress in intelligence." Ning Yeyi began to enter something into the computer, "Now I want to look at the information provided to us before, maybe I can find the list of former students..."

"Then I'll take a break, what about the others?"

"Walking around in the dormitory."

When Lu Ning got the response, she moved a little closer to the stove, lay down on the table and slowly closed her eyes.

================
Damp all over, lying on the table, this kind of sleep quality is actually very poor, so poor that Lu Ning was woken up by the voices of people discussing in a low voice in a daze.

When she opened her eyes, she felt some pain in her neck and waist. The sleeves and neckline had been dried by the stove, but her body was still wet. Not only did she not feel better, but even more uncomfortable.

But now is not the time to think about these things, Lu Ning raised her head and found that several people who had gone out had already returned, Yan Rong and Zhou Weiyuan were talking in a low voice, speaking very fast, and the expressions on the faces of the rest of them were also different.

"What's wrong?" she asked aloud.

"Are you awake? It's nothing, we are discussing a decision." Rong Han forced a smile at Lu Ning.

"Meet any monster that is difficult to deal with and may have huge benefits?"

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she found that several people had strange expressions on their faces, as if they were saying "how do you know".

"That's what can make you argue. If you don't wake me up, you think I don't need to participate. That's an outside matter. It's already decided to kill monsters to make money first. That's what can make you dispute. The difficulty and rewards of the monsters are unknown." Lu Ning cleared her throat and found that her voice was a little hoarse, "What's going on? Although we are not dedicated to fighting, we are certainly not specialized in civilian work."

Yan Rong immediately raised his voice a little, and talked about what the three of them found after going out.

There are indeed many monsters wandering around in this world, and they all like to sneak in the shadows. After Yan Rong discovered this, he immediately started to use this method to set up fishing. The three of them used their skills and luck to sweep away a nearby dormitory building. After searching it again, I found nearly a hundred copper coins and a pack of various odds and ends of unknown uses.

But on the top floor of that dormitory building, that is, in the corridor on the fourth floor, the three of them found an unusual monster that didn't hide itself at all, just like the rain master.The body of this monster is also human, skinny, with black bandages wrapped around its body, and a bamboo stick in its hand.But most striking is the huge chest bound to the monster by two chains crossed from shoulders to ribs, from which the chains hang down to the ground, while the cross at the chest is strung with a hoop Entered a key.

The monster seemed to be dragged down by the box, and it was very difficult to even walk. Every time the bamboo stick was raised, it had to fall to the ground quickly to support it, so it kept making the sound of "snatch, snatch, snatch".

But Yan Rong and others didn't dare to attack at all.

Tourists have their own criteria for judging the degree of danger of the enemy, and the monster in front of them exudes a dangerous aura from the eyes of the three combat-type people. After some low-pitched discussions, they decided to come back to discuss it first. .

"Can I ask where the danger comes from? It can't just be out of a mysterious feeling?" Lu Ning asked.

Rong Han and Xu Jianqi couldn't say anything, they just felt that there was something wrong with their feelings, it really came from the warrior's intuition.It was Yan Rong who thought about it and said: "Although that guy looks like he would fall down when the wind blows, his posture is to bend his body forward and walk forward step by step with the help of that bamboo stick, without any sense of reluctance. "

"Oh, then you are really smart."

A voice came from the door of the conference room, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to find that Liu Shan was standing outside the door holding a cardboard box.

"First of all, I didn't eavesdrop, I just happened to overhear. There are some old clothes here, which are barely better than the ones you are wearing. This is what you asked me for." Liu Shan threw the cardboard box on the table next to her, " As for that monster, don’t think about it, the treasure guards don’t have a fully equipped team of about 20 people, don’t try to deal with it, and a small team like ours still don’t want to get rich overnight.”

"Is that thing very strong? If you include you, can you try it? We can discuss and distribute the thing." Zhou Weiyuan asked.

"We are dying in the past, and you are the same. Don't be complacent just because you have dealt with some small characters, first upgrade your weapons or something." Liu Shan turned around indifferently, "I'm done talking, I still want to die If so, I won't stop."

She left.

"Look, let me just say that she has a cold face and a warm heart." Ning Yeyi whispered next to Lu Ning.

Rong Han said to Yan Rong: "So it's better not to deal with it now, it's too dangerous."

Previously, Yan Rong was the one who wanted to try the monster's strength.

"Let me do the math for you. We went out for nearly three hours and found a more efficient method, but even the copper coins we collected in this way are only about a hundred, even with the pile of junk materials. What do you think? When will we be able to save money for arming?" Yan Rong pointed to the spoils in the corner.

"This is a long-term battle scenario, we can't rush." ​​Zhou Weiyuan said.

"Wrong, we have to be anxious, because the world of heavy rain is actually not very difficult, but other things may happen, and the switching of the world is probably before dawn, and our time is actually only a few hours. Think about it carefully, If you enter a difficult world without any military preparations, wouldn't the survival rate be lower?"

Yan Rong's words silenced everyone.

"The distribution center won't let us continue to be so comfortable. This is an upgrade. Now we have choices, but if we fall into a world where it's hard to survive, we won't even have the right to choose."

"This is the so-called 'people without long-term considerations must have near-term worries'." Lu Ning replied, "I agree to kill that monster, but we can't be too reckless. Since we don't have the strength to confront directly, we have to find another way."

Hearing that someone supported him, Yan Rong was relieved and smiled at Lu Ning.

"Then I'll come to help too. The longer you stay in the level-up scene, the more dangerous it is. If you can shorten the time, you have to shorten it." Ning Yeyi responded immediately.

"No, I still think this is a very risky move." Rong Han disagreed, "If the difficulty of the scene reaches the level where you can't break through without killing the monster, then the options for people in the distribution center are too narrow. .”

"The opportunity is presented to you, and you have to seize it." Yan Rong glanced at Zhou Weiyuan, "Give me a quick word, do you want to fight?"

"You're just tying me to a chariot..." Zhou Weiyuan shrugged helplessly, "I don't agree, but if you want to go, I must go too."

"Count me in." Qin Yulou raised his hand, "Since there is no way to fight head-on, what is needed is to set up traps. I am good at this."

"Thanks, buddy." Yan Rong gave him a thumbs up and looked at the last two.

Xu Jianqi shook his head, it was too dangerous for her, and if she didn't go, Cang Su didn't want to be with her either.

"Wish you guys good luck."

The five got up and set off. When passing the stairs, Lu Ning saw Liu Shan who was sitting on the handrail adjusting the heavy crossbow and Teng Zijian who was maintaining the curved sword. The two did not say anything when they saw the few people who were about to leave, and each concentrated on their work. Get to work.

On rainy nights, the temperature is lower.
