Lu Tianhe is a new player who has just entered Pandora. This is his second time playing the game. The first time he went to a dungeon, he was lucky enough to follow a good leader. Not only did he get a C-level rating after passing the level, but he also got a few good prop cards. After selling them, he made a lot of money. Not only did he pay off his previous loan in one go, but he also improved the lives of his whole family.
With such a huge harvest, it’s no wonder that so many people are willing to continue the dungeon even though they know their lives are in danger.
There are limited jobs outside the apocalypse, and everyone can only barely eat and wear warm clothes with their efforts, and nothing else. They may not be willing to spend money to eat half an apple a month. But once you become a player, you can immediately have a well-off life with rewards. Therefore, Lu Tianhe continued to play the dungeon.
However, Lu Tianhe also knew that he did not have much ability, so he made up his mind to follow the big guys, not to cause any trouble, and just to get through this copy.
This time, there were about nine players. The oldest and most powerful one was a man named Tang Xingguang who had passed four dungeons. It was said that if he got a B+ rating, he would be on Pandora's new player list. He was a real big shot. Therefore, everyone followed him consciously.
"Everyone take your tickets and go in first. Our mission this time is to find the passenger who died in vain and take him off the bus. According to the description of the mission, the passenger himself should not remember that he is dead. According to the inertia of the game, when the passenger remembers, he may attack us, so everyone should keep the life-saving prop card close to them. In addition, after sitting down, you can chat with the people around you and try to collect as much information as possible. If you find something wrong, say it in the WeChat group and everyone will solve it together. We only have three chances, we must work together, understand?" Tang Xingguang reminded before getting on the bus.
"But there are so many people in one carriage, and the space is limited. If a passenger kills someone, we won't be able to do anything about it." One person said, suppressing his fear. "I think we should not provoke them too much for now."
"If you don't actively collect information, you will only bring about your own destruction." Tang Xingguang looked at him helplessly. It is human nature to be afraid of death, but if you are still afraid of death after entering the game, you will only kill yourself and others. "If you are really afraid, don't block the way, and don't come to us if you are attacked."
It is not easy to be a leader. Tang Xingguang also understands the principle of using both soft and hard tactics. It is wishful thinking to want him to protect them without doing anything. We are all adults and should take some responsibility for ourselves.
"I, I understand."
It was enough for everyone to stop talking and wait until the high-speed train stopped in front of them. They took out their tickets from their pockets, showed them to the conductor, and then got on the train one by one.
They were all in car number one, and they were less scared when they were all gathered together.
But after entering the carriage and seeing so many people inside, everyone couldn't help but reveal a little fear, and was caught by Ning Buwen.
The quality of this batch of newcomers doesn't seem to be very good.
Ning Buwen glanced around and looked at Tang Xingguang's face a few more times.
This one is not bad, he looks clear-eyed and calm, probably he knows what's going on. That's good, knowing what's going on is better than having nothing at all.
Tang Xingguang seemed to sense being watched and quickly looked in the direction of Ning Buwen. Ning Buwen had already turned his head away, so Tang Xingguang naturally didn't notice anything.
"Brother Tang, what happened?" a player nearby asked cautiously.
"It's okay." Tang Xingguang glanced at him. Talking to them now would only make them more nervous and scared.
Go find your own seat and sit down first."
"Um."
WeChat group.
Wen Duoduo: The identity of this body of mine seems to be a white-collar office worker, but the strange thing is that there are a lot of things in the suitcase, including a gun, so I guess I'm not an ordinary office worker.
Han Xinbo: I am a policeman. I have credentials, weapons and documents. I want to hunt down a criminal and I have a wanted warrant.
Xiao Liu: I am an ordinary female student. I took advantage of the holiday to visit my uncle.
Zhang Ziwen: There is nothing strange about retired elderly people visiting their children.
Ning Bu Wen: My identity is a senior Chinese teacher. The only strange thing is that there is an extra screwdriver in the box. Everything else is normal.
After everyone discussed it, they found that the information available at present was too little and basically nothing could be inferred. They might have to wait until all the side quests were completed before they could get more information.
What's worrying now are these new people.
A new person also came to Ning Buwen and Wen Duoduo's side.
This new guy doesn't seem to be anything special. The only good thing about him is that his attitude is more natural and his conversation words don't seem so awkward.
With the idea of helping newcomers, Ning Buwen and Wen Duoduo tried their best to answer his questions if they knew the answers themselves.
"When will the next station arrive?" asked the newlywed.
"I don't know about that either. Why don't you ask the conductor?" Ning Buwen replied.
"So, big brother, where is your destination this time and what are you going to do? After all, it will take three days. If I had known earlier, I would have taken a plane directly." asked the newcomer.
"I'm going to the terminal. I'm going to participate in the special teacher training, which will facilitate my professional title evaluation when I return to school later."
"Oh, I didn't realize you're a teacher, that's amazing."
"where."
This new guy kept asking questions but couldn't get to the point. I was getting a little angry even if I didn't ask.
He just got on the train, what could he know? If these newcomers want to check information, they will definitely ask the conductor for help. Are they stupid
"I'm a little tired, let me take a rest first." Ning Buwen smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just ask the flight attendants. Their service attitude is easy to deal with. There are also meals available in the No. 4 dining car. Otherwise, you can wait for the flight attendants to sell you boxed lunches. Either way, it's fine."
"Oh oh oh, okay, I won't bother you anymore." The newcomer replied quickly.
fool!
Isn't my reminder obvious enough
I asked you to go to the dining car to get some information, but you couldn't hear that
Wen Duoduo quietly patted Ning Buwen's hand, signaling him to calm down.
All newcomers are like this, it's very normal. Ning Buwen just doesn't understand what a normal newcomer is like. They are just like noobs. There are very few people like Ning Buwen who can pass the level on their own right from the start.
The newcomer had a good eye. When he saw the subtle interaction between Wen Duoduo and Ning Buwen, his eyes suddenly became subtle.
It turns out they have this kind of relationship.
Wen Duoduo silently withdrew his hand.
"Sir, shall we go to the dining car and share a table? I seemed to have heard you say you wanted to go to the dining car before. Let's go together." Fortunately, Tang Xingguang was still very supportive. He quickly came to Ning Buwen's side and called the newcomer over.
"Oh, okay." The newcomer stood up immediately, obviously trusting Tang Xingguang.
WeChat group.
Wen Duoduo: There is a new guy with good qualities, the one wearing a baseball cap. Should we go to the dining car to take a look
Zhang Ziwen: Xiao Liu and I will go.
Xiao Liu: Okay, Grandpa Zhang.
Han Xinbo: Be careful.
I would rather not ask: Try to find out the arrival time of each station, as well as some strange rumors on the train. Brother Han, can you take your police ID to find the train police? First ask if you can get the information of the people in the carriage. If you can, find a chance to identify yourself to the new guy in the peaked cap and help him pass.
Han Xinbo: Yes.
Zhang Ziwen held Xiao Liu's hand and laughed softly, "It seems that the new member joining our team is of good quality."
He is well-organized, logical, and calm. No wonder he ranks third on the newcomer list.
With everyone having their own tasks, the next things will not be so difficult.
Zhang Ziwen and Xiao Liu quickly arrived at the dining car. After seeing where Tang Xingguang was, Zhang Ziwen and Xiao Liu sat down next to them.
"Brother Tang, what should we do next?" The newcomer looked at Tang Xingguang curiously and said in a low voice, "We want to find the passenger who died in vain, but we don't know whether he is a man or a woman, old or young."
Although the newcomer's voice was very low, Zhang Ziwen and Xiao Liu, who were already advanced players, could still hear it clearly.
Also looking for the passengers who died in vain? In other words, their mission is the same as the one who escaped and reported this dungeon, which is the mission for the newcomers.
"I've counted the number of people in the carriage. Excluding the empty seats, there are about sixty-four. We've already questioned about twenty people, all of whom have legitimate jobs. We can rule them out first." Tang Xingguang held up the menu to cover his face. "Since they are passengers who died in vain and don't remember dying, we'll first look for those who are vague about their experiences or who don't care to talk to others. We have three days, so we'll try to resolve it on the first day. If we delay for too long, we won't be able to hold on."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Tang."
"Also, think of a way to pretend to be sick later and see if there is a doctor in the carriage?" Tang Xingguang continued.
"Why do we need to see a doctor?" The newcomer was puzzled.
"We are all new players. The game can't make the passenger we are looking for look exactly like a living person. There must be some difference. I have a prop card that can confuse people. If there is a doctor, I can use the prop card to confuse the doctor and make him reveal his identity. I can say that there may be an infectious disease and ask him to do a simple examination of the passenger. This may help us find the passenger."
When Zhang Ziwen heard Tang Xingguang's words, he nodded in agreement.
This newcomer is indeed of good quality, and at least the method he proposed is feasible.
Zhang Ziwen put Tang Xingguang's plan in the WeChat group, and if it was really implemented, they could help persuade the passengers. If there was no doctor, they could also send someone out to pretend to be a doctor.
"Eat quickly, we'll do it after you finish eating." Tang Xingguang urged.
"Okay, Brother Tang."
Zhang Ziwen winked at Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu immediately turned into a naughty child and started crying. She was originally small, and with her bangs down, she looked even smaller. "Wow, the food here is so bad. Grandpa, I miss my parents. When can we get there?"
"Shh, what did I teach you? Don't disturb others." Zhang Ziwen looked at Xiao Liu sternly, "Don't be squeamish. You should know that many people don't have enough to eat. The things on the bus are so expensive. You don't want to eat instant noodles."
"Grandpa, you are so mean to me. I want to get off the bus and go find my parents." Xiao Liu started crying again. The passengers on the dining car all looked at Xiao Liu. Zhang Ziwen's face turned red and he apologized to everyone embarrassedly.
Soon, Xiao Liu's crying attracted the flight attendant.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" The female flight attendant bent over to comfort Xiao Liu, "If you have anything, tell me and I'll help you."
"I want to go home. It's so stuffy in the car." Xiao Liu sobbed, "Sister, when can we get home?"
"Come here, little sister, let me see your ticket."
Xiao Liu took out the ticket.
"Little sister, this is a ticket for the final stop, but it will be there very quickly. Just have a good night's sleep and you'll be home soon." The female flight attendant gently persuaded her.
"Hello, could you tell me how long the train will stay after we arrive at the station? I want to see if I can take her to buy some toys so that she won't keep crying and disturbing others." Zhang Ziwen successfully played the role of a parent who felt guilty because of his naughty child's crying.
"Let me check." The female flight attendant checked on her phone. "The next stop will be half an hour. It's a big station. As long as you don't leave the station, you can still buy something."
"That's good." Zhang Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief. "Could you please let me see your schedule?"
"Of course." The flight attendant handed the phone to Zhang Ziwen.
Zhang Ziwen glanced at it and memorized all the information in his mind, but he was still saying, "There are still three hours to go before we arrive at the station. It's fast. Thank you, Miss."
"No, this is what we should do."
Tang Xingguang exchanged glances with his companions, somewhat surprised.
If the next stop is three hours later, then they only have three hours left. But the mission was given three days, and they had always thought that there would be one stop per day, so they would have one day.
It looks like we need to speed up.
Tang Xingguang and his companions immediately left the dining car, while Zhang Ziwen and Xiao Liu ate slowly here.
"Xiao Liu, eat less. If we have to drive again in three hours, we will have to continue the performance." Zhang Ziwen warned, "If you eat too much now, you won't be able to eat later."
This is also the life-threatening part in the complex copy.
In order to avoid the suspicion of the new players, they all have to disguise themselves. This time they came to the dining car, and they have to come again the next time they start over, saying the same things and doing the same things, otherwise they will be mistaken by the new players as NPCs with stories and pulled off the car directly.
cough.
There are many high-level players who have been poached by new players because of the failure to do this.
"I see." Xiao Liu nodded, "I waited until they left before ordering, so that we can have dishes with different flavors."
"You're smart." Zhang Ziwen laughed.
Tang Xingguang and his companions followed the agreement they had made in the dining car, one pretending to be sick while the other went to find a doctor.
Perhaps it was the welfare assistance Pandora gave to the newcomers. There was actually a doctor here, who was successfully bewitched and helped to check everyone in the carriage.
"Why do you say we need to check? You are a man, I want a female doctor to check me." A young woman wearing glasses expressed strong opposition. "Besides, with such a short time, who can be infected? I heard there is a new type of fraud, that is, they say we need to check, and then if we are found to be sick, they send us to a third or fifth hospital to rob us and kill us. I think you are also this kind of people. I will find the train police to arrest you!"
"You... you are slandering me." A new player couldn't stand it anymore.
"I didn't say anything wrong." The girl with glasses snorted coldly, "I finally see clearly that you guys are in the same group. You pretended to be strangers when we got on the bus before, but look at how you look now? You pretended to be strangers to trick us, and you are acting in unison. I won't be fooled!"
What the girl with glasses said made some sense. When the passengers in the car saw Tang Xingguang and others gathered together, their hearts began to beat faster.
Indeed, they don't look like strangers.
"Everyone, please listen to me." Han Xinbo stood up at this time.
He is tall and has a heroic look, and seems to be very trustworthy.
"This is my ID. I'm a policeman." Han Xinbo took out his ID, and several passengers believed him after checking it.
"Comrade police, can you tell me if they are scammers?"
"You have to help us."
"Comrade police, they have violated our personal rights and privacy rights." The girl with glasses said immediately.
"Doctor, can I see your ID?" Han Xinbo walked up to the doctor and stretched out his hand.
"Okay." The doctor, confused by the prop card, took out his relevant documents.
"Everyone wait a moment, I will make a phone call and ask my colleagues in the Information Department to help me check their authenticity. These documents have corresponding numbers, and we will know whether they are real or not once we check them." Han Xinbo comforted the passengers.
"good."
Everyone still trusts Han Xinbo as a policeman.
Soon, Han Xinbo answered a phone call in a serious manner. The call was made secretly without asking them.
"The ID is genuine, and this is indeed a doctor." Han Xinbo made the final decision. "Although it is indeed inappropriate to conduct an examination, this doctor is also considering everyone's safety. So, I will go and discuss it with the train attendant. There are some medical props on the train, and there is also a female train attendant who knows some medical knowledge. I will ask her to help check with this doctor. If everything is fine, that would be the best. If there is, we can quickly see a doctor after we arrive at the next station. It is still a bit unsafe on the train."
"I believe the police comrades." Ning Buwen nodded and said, "Infectious diseases cannot be underestimated. They all have an incubation period. There was a student in my previous school who didn't take it seriously at first, but within a few days, the whole class was infected. The school was on holiday and no one dared to go to class, so everyone should still pay attention to it."
"Yes, I would rather cause some trouble than to ensure my own safety."
"Granddaughter, you can't cry during the examination later, okay?"
…
With the help of Ning Buwen and others, the passengers who were originally persuaded by the girl with glasses also began to change their minds.
Yes, it’s just a simple check, just in case. There’s nothing to do in the car anyway, so why not check it out? It’s free!
Seeing that everyone agreed, the girl with glasses knew that the situation was hopeless, so she nodded and agreed.
call-
Tang Xingguang and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Buwen and others were even more tired.
Fortunately, everyone’s acting skills are solid!
It would be best to help these newcomers complete the side quests as soon as possible, Ning Bu Wen thought.
By the way, when Cheng Yuxue played the role of School Doctor Cheng, he deliberately led me to discover various clues and even faked his own death. Was he feeling the same as I am now
Looking at these newcomers who know nothing, they think they are lucky or have met sensible NPCs. In fact, it is the senior players who are helping them painstakingly. I wonder what their expressions will be when they know the truth one day
Unfortunately, that's where the luck ends.
"In general, everyone is in good health." After the doctor finished checking the passengers, there were less than ten minutes left, and that was after speeding up the process. Of course, a few passengers were found to have minor ailments, such as sore throats, eye problems, backaches, colds, etc.
"Ma'am, the color of your tongue isn't right. You should go to the dental department for a thorough checkup after you get off the bus." The doctor looked at the woman with glasses seriously and said, "Oral problems can be very troublesome if they are not treated early."
"I know." The girl with glasses snorted coldly, "I'm going to the best dental hospital this time."
"That's good. The other passengers are generally fine, but everyone is in sub-health. They should exercise more in the future." The doctor advised with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
"No, thank you, doctor."
The doctor almost had to rely on the prop card, and he couldn't find anything.
Tang Xingguang and his companions looked as ugly as the bottom of a pot.
There were only ten minutes left, and there was no way they could find the passenger who had died in vain in such a short time!
There must be something they missed, or this was never meant to be a one-shot copy.
Tang Xingguang gritted his teeth and had to ask his companions to go back and sit down until the train started again next time.
"Hello, passengers. We have arrived at Luhai Station. Passengers who are getting off first, please get ready..."
The high-speed rail stops at the station.
New players such as Tang Xingguang who were originally sitting in the carriage disappeared in an instant, the train was also moving backwards rapidly, and everything returned to the state it was at the previous station.
"We have arrived at Ninghu Station. Please get off first and then get on..."
The author has something to say: Xiao Liu: I’m going to cry again, so miserable.
Han Xinbo: I also need to find the flight attendant again.
Ning Buwen: Hahaha, I'm sleeping. Thank you to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated me with nutrient solution~
