"Leaving in half an hour, I need to prepare some belongings."
Weizard responded lazily, and then he walked up the second floor of the bookstore along the stairs he had just noticed.
"Let me straighten my thoughts first..."
Avoiding the strange man, Wei Zede, who came to the second floor, pondered: "From the current point of view, the Sanye Wei mentioned by that guy should be my character in this mission scene... And this time, the'Melting City of Earth Fire' The content of the mission definitely has something to do with the expedition that lost contact!"
"D++ level difficulty mission... I shouldn’t be the only player! Where will everyone else be? Or, you can only see them after completing the first part of the main mission, "arrived in Alito Town" ?"
Just as Weizard was thinking about it, the belated cutscene came to his mind.
[The player "Witch", your name is "Wei Xiaoning" in this mission scene. Note: As it ranks third among the younger generation in the Wei family, it is called Wei San. 】
Following the cutscene, specific information about'Wei San' flooded into Weizard's mind.
[When he was young and frivolous, Wei Xiaoning had participated in many "expeditions", mixing up a nickname "Wei Sanye" in the exploration industry at home and abroad. 】
"Is it role-playing again?"
Weizard murmured, after he had some understanding of his current state, the voice-over of the nightmare paradise game system changed again.
[The strange man Lin Pengyi is a member of the three national archaeological team, and is under the direct management of Captain Liu Ru. Since he was in charge of logistical support in this national-level "archaeological expedition", this person could escape after Liu Ru and other archaeological team members disappeared. 】
[Reminder: The first link of the main mission, "Follow Lin Pengyi to Alito Town", the mission is limited to 24 hours. 】
When the cutscene was over, beside Weizard's location, a suitcase appeared out of thin air.
"Huh? Is this prepared for me by the system?"
While thinking about it, Weizard leaned over and opened his suitcase and counted.
"1 backpack, 1 sleeping bag, flint and fire sickle, 1 waist bag, 2 lighting rods, 10 days' worth of rations, 20 meters long hemp rope, 1 water bag..."
"Oh, there are 1 claw hook, 1 small hammer, and 10 pitons."
When Weizard carried this set of expedition equipment with him, the luggage provided by the system gradually disappeared.
"It seems that the time-consuming task of this mission will not be too short, we must prepare for a long time!"
A few minutes later, the heavily armed Weizard came from the second floor of the bookstore.
"Okay! Let's go now..."
After the bookstore was tightly locked, Weizard hurried away with the man named Lin Pengyi.
Just before the train started, Wei Zedeyue and Lin Pengyi caught up with the train panting.
"Old Lin, what is the goal of your archaeological team this time? What kind of dangers have they encountered? Let me be prepared?"
After sitting in his seat, Weizard began to beat and inquire about some details of the mission.
Faced with Wei Zede’s question, Lin Pengyi hesitated and hesitated, and he asked anxiously, so he spread his hands and said, “San Ye Wei, don’t ask me! It’s a matter of state secrets, I’m I don’t have the right to disclose any information to you... I’m still waiting for the place, and let Professor Liu explain it to you!"
"Professor Liu?"
"Yes! Professor Liu Kai'an, he is Captain Liu Ru's father, and he is in charge of this request for help..."
Weizard exchanged a few more words with Lin Pengyi, then sat on the train silently, no longer speaking.
No words for a night.
In the early morning of the next day, just after seven o'clock, the train finally arrived in the small town of Alito.
As soon as he got off the car, Weizard saw a gray-haired old man looking around at the exit.
"Professor Liu!"
Lin Pengyi said hello from a distance.
The old man nodded at him, then said to Weizede in an eager voice: "Xiaoning, you are here!"
"Our rescue team is waiting for you... Hurry! Get in the car and talk!"
Following Professor Liu, Weizard and Lin Pengyi quickly walked across the square in front of the station and came to a dark green military off-road jeep.
"Professor Liu, should the rescue team just be this car, just us?"
After getting in the car, Weizard, who was sitting in the back seat, asked Professor Liu who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"How can it be? This car is here to pick you up!"
Professor Liu smiled: "The rescue team has already set off."
After instructing the driver to speed up, Professor Liu turned his head and said to me: "Xiao Ning, this rescue operation is going to trouble you and your friends!"
"my friend?"
Wei Zede asked calmly, "Which friends are you? Mr. Liu, I have many friends of Wei San!"
"Hehe, when you get to the place in a while, you will know who it is!"
As he said, Professor Liu smiled bitterly again, "Up to now, Liu Ru, this girl has been missing for nearly five days! But the rescue team can't even find their camping location... Xiaolin, the specific thing is still yours. Talk to Xiaoning."
Lin Pengyi, who was sitting on the right hand side of Weizard, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, as if he was calming his fear and anxiety.
"To be honest, until now, there are some things that I still don't understand or think about! I can only tell all my experiences exactly once..."
Lin Pengyi took another deep cigarette, and spoke in a slightly trembling tone.
"This archaeological expedition was initiated by the Institute of Archaeology of the National Academy of Social Sciences. Its purpose was to conduct a protective archaeological excavation of the Gaxian Cave, the ancestor stone room of Tuoba Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty."
"The archaeological team is seven people, led by Liu Ru, a doctor of archaeology, and I am also one of them. Because of my relatively old age, Captain Liu arranged me to be responsible for the logistics support of the archaeological team and other related matters."
"Seven days ago, the archaeological team arrived in Alito Town. After a short rest, our group set off to Gaxian Cave, ten kilometers north of Alito Town."
Having said this, Lin Pengyi took another big puff of cigarette, and his expression also became trance.
"After arriving at Gaxian Cave, we were all surprised to find that there was no tourist here!"
"Captain Liu explained that this time the archaeological operation was extraordinary! The above had already greeted the relevant departments. During our investigation, Gaxian Cave was temporarily closed to tourists."
"Someone asked at that time, is a protective archaeological excavation so exciting?"
"But Captain Liu's explanation shocked us very much..."
