Changming Base.
Chi Jin frowned as he looked at the card in his hand. The three golden characters "Hidden (Big)" were printed on the pure black background, which was particularly eye-catching.
Several members of Jiang Han's team gathered around the table, their surprise mixed with undisguised jealousy.
Brother Chi not only drew the hidden prize, but also the big hidden prize from the winter limited series that no one had drawn for many days.
Jiang Han's jealousy almost became real: "Brother Chi, you are too lucky. Is this reasonable?"
He has been working on the boxes one after another these days, and he wanted to make a backpack sleeping bag, but he has not been able to do so.
Brother Chi Jin stayed at the base for several days and did not go to the blind box store again.
This morning he dragged me to go there again. I picked up a box at random and opened the big hidden when I got it back.
Jiang Han couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried.
Others could not see Chi Jin's expression behind his sunglasses, only he himself knew that he was feeling anxious and uneasy at the moment.
The first time he went to the store to draw a pack, he told Lu Yao that he was very excited, and that wasn't just a polite remark.
He was born with bad luck. He could never get what he wanted, and everything he thought and wished for would be destroyed.
But when you draw boxes in a blind box store, you get hidden boxes one after another. This is not normal.
When he's lucky, bad things are bound to happen.
"Brother Chi, shall we go and claim the prize?" After feeling jealous, Jiang Han became curious about what the big hidden treasure was, and couldn't help but urge Chi Jin to go out again.
Chi Jin gently rubbed the edge of the card with his fingertips. Perhaps it was because the card was too sharp or his skin was too fragile, but his fingertips felt a slight pain and a cut was made. A faint blue liquid seeped along the edge of the card.
He simply pressed his fingertips together, casually put the card into his pocket, stood up and said, "Go."
The others didn't notice anything unusual and followed happily.
The recent staple blind boxes in blind box shops are very popular among mothers and grandmothers. Mothers who have been unable to cook without rice for many years have found happiness in blind box shops after a long time.
There are many types of staple food blind boxes, and the portion in each box is not small.
They exchange blind boxes and then trade them with each other to get rich ingredients.
Even without the crystal core series of pots and kettles, they can still cook delicious food using ordinary pots and crystal cores.
Rice, millet, and flour are used as staple foods, while potatoes, sweet potatoes, and vermicelli can be used as staple foods and can also be used to make some fresh dishes.
Chi Jin and his group arrived at the blind box store and went straight to knock on the office door next to the blind box machine.
Lu Yao came out and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Han pushed Chi Jin forward, "Shopkeeper, our brother Chi has won the winter series hidden prize, come and claim the prize."
Chi Jin was still wearing sunglasses, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly.
Compared to his obviously excited companions, he seemed a little cold and quiet.
Lu Yao looked at Chi Jin in surprise, what a lucky guy.
She reached out to take the card, her fingertips habitually stroking the edge of the card.
Chi Jin looked at her fingertips stained with light blue blood, opened his lips, then pursed them, and remained silent.
Lu Yao didn't play with it for too long. After confirming that it was Dayin's black card, he put it in his pocket and said, "Let's go to Dayin's warehouse outside."
What is hidden and stored in the warehouse
Jiang Han and the others were completely intrigued.
Some old customers in the store heard that someone had launched a hidden winter limited series, so they came out to watch.
The warehouse was just upgraded in the last few days and is next to the blind box store.
The ground was covered with thick ice and was wet and slippery.
Lu Yao was wearing a light blue long down jacket, the white fluff on the hood fluttering in the wind, brushing against his porcelain-like skin.
She walked with a steady step and a nonchalant look.
Chi Jin walked beside her, glancing at her from the corner of his eye, his lips pursed into a straight line.
So close yet so far away.
That's all.
Lu Yao inexplicably felt like he was being spied on and turned his head to look over.
The young man, who was a head taller than her, wore sunglasses, so his expression could not be seen clearly, but his gaze did not shift.
Is it an illusion
Arriving at the warehouse, Lu Yao collected his thoughts, raised his hand and pressed his fingerprint, and the warehouse door opened.
She walked in, pulled down the dust sheet, and faced the door. "This is the big hidden piece of the winter series, the snowmobile powered by crystal core energy."
The people at the door were stunned. They had imagined many possibilities, but never thought that the blind box store would be so big.
It turns out that from a small blind box, you can get something like a snowmobile.
Snowmobiles move via special track devices and can travel on snow, wetlands, and slopes. They are fast and stable and are usually suitable for patrolling and rescue work in ski resorts and woodlands.
There are still a small number of vehicles in the Impermanence World, but they are basically concentrated in the hands of senior executives in large bases.
Gasoline and diesel are already hard to find, and those cars are rarely used. They are hidden in the base as an emergency escape tool.
There are many middle-aged people among the customers of the blind box shop. When they saw this brand new snowmobile, their eyes widened and they couldn’t move away.
Someone swallowed hard and finally couldn't help asking the question that they had been deliberately ignoring: "Shopkeeper, where did you get these things? Food and props are fine, but you can even build a snowmobile. That's outrageous!"
Lu Yao threw away the dust sheet, clapped his hands, and looked at Chi Jin: "This thing is a little difficult to drive. Whether you can drive it away depends on your ability."
Then she turned to look at the uncle who was asking questions at the door and smiled: "The joy of opening a blind box is that you never know what surprise will come next time."
The members of Jiang Han's team had never seen a snowmobile before, so they gathered around and touched it curiously. "This thing is so cool. Brother Chi Jin, do you know how to drive it?"
Chi Jin slowly shook his head, "Will the owner know?"
Lu Yao nodded: "You want to learn?"
Chi Jin leaned back slightly and hesitated for a moment, "Let's give it a try first?"
When setting up the snowmobile as the hidden object, Lu Yao had considered that not everyone who drew it might be able to ride it, so he was prepared to teach.
She didn't hesitate, put on her helmet, got on the motorcycle and drove out of the warehouse. The people watching at the door silently made way for her.
Snowmobiles do not need to be driven on specific roads and are very stable. As long as there is a road ahead, they can be driven normally.
Chi Jin pulled his winter clothing tighter and carefully sat behind her.
The car started and rushed out with two hums.
Jiang Han and others were left behind and their eyes widened.
"Wow! Snowmobiles are so cool!"
"Isn't the owner the cooler one? Why would she ride something like this?"
"I'm more curious why she put this kind of thing in the blind box. Wouldn't she lose money?"
In the snow, the cold wind seemed to be sobbing in my ears.
Lu Yao tilted his head slightly and shouted, "Where do you want to go? I'll take you for a ride."
Since coming into this world, she has been hanging around the shop and has not been too far away.
At present, the surroundings are covered with snow, and it is all white. Many broken walls and ruins covered by the snow reveal some mottled old traces.
The whole world seems like a lonely city that has long since died.
Lu Yao was driving a snowmobile with a strange young man behind him. He did not feel uneasy, but instead wanted to look around.
Chi Jin was a little dazed, and after a long pause he said, "It's up to you."
-
Hope Base, dormitory building No. 6.
Yu Zhenzhen caught a cold a few days ago and had a severe cold and high fever that wouldn't go away. After taking the antipyretic medicine from the blind box shop, her body has gradually recovered.
Another member of the group, Lei Mo, had the same high fever as her, his forehead was burning hot, and he almost thought he would not survive.
After taking the antipyretic medicine sent by Xi Tingran, the symptoms were relieved that night.
At this time, the four adults in the group sat together to discuss things.
Yi Chuan rolled his glasses and asked, "Is Xiao Luo still not awake?"
Yu Zhenzhen lowered her head and whispered, "No, the medicine doesn't seem to work."
Li Jia snorted coldly: "You little bastard is so squeamish. Since the medicine from the blind box store is useless, you should go find the store owner and ask for an explanation."
Yi Chuan frowned and glanced at her. "How can you ask for an explanation when you can't even get into the store?"
Thinking of this, Li Jia gritted his teeth in hatred, "We can't go, can't we let Captain Xi go? The medicine we got from the store can't cure the disease, and he has no idea? He still relies on us to develop crystal core energy. This is the attitude of doing things. I think this place is not as good as Z8."
Yu Zhenzhen and Lei Mo have never been to a blind box store, but they have been hearing Li Jia cursing every day these days. They are curious but smart enough not to reveal their thoughts.
Yi Chuan frowned even more tightly, somewhat disdaining Li Jia for not using her brain, and whispered, "Although I don't know how she did it, that store sells food and has also developed items powered by crystal core energy. The bases in this area rely on that store and have lived very comfortably during the cold wave. Do you think Xi Tingran would offend that store owner for the sake of us?"
Li Jia pouted, still feeling angry.
Yi Chuan continued, "Xiao Luo's disease is difficult to treat. His parents have spent so much effort but have not found an effective method. Don't expect the medicine in the blind box store to be useful. The problem now is that without Xiao Luo, the research on crystal core development cannot continue. Xi Tingran is already suspicious of us, so we have to have an explanation first."
Yu Zhenzhen said, "I see that Xiao Luo has taken the medicine, but he is not completely unwell. He is just still in a coma. Is it possible that the dosage is not enough?"
Li Jia said: "Then let Xi Tingran go buy some more blind boxes of medicines and feed them all. If it doesn't work, you two can go to the blind box store and make trouble!"
Yu Zhenzhen and Lei Mo looked at each other, neither responding nor refusing.
Outside the door, Luo Huian, who should have been asleep in bed, carefully lay by the door and eavesdropped on the conversation inside.
Blind box store, it turns out that the medicine he took came from there.
After hearing the information he wanted, he tiptoed away.
After going downstairs, he looked around and found the exact direction to leave. He swung his arms and legs, moved his fat body, and tried to run out.
Luo Hui'an's escape was smooth and he didn't meet anyone along the way.
By the time he reached the main gate of the base, he was a little wary, unsure if he could get out.
At this time, a group of people ran in from outside, loudly discussing the big hidden treasure of the blind box store’s winter limited series.
"That big motorcycle is so cool, but it's a pity that someone from Changming Base got it."
"I want a snowmobile, too. It feels like flying."
"It would be great if we had one at our base. Do you think it would be possible to borrow one from Changming Base when we go out to look for supplies?"
When some people heard the news, they ran out to watch the fun.
Luo Huian mixed in and followed the crowd in the direction of the blind box shop.
