Qin Ran temporarily confirmed the safety.
However, the lady still listened carefully and observed for a while, and did not continue to act until she confirmed that no one was chasing her.
"Follow!"
said the lady.
Qin Ran immediately went up and followed the lady deep into the ruins.
After stepping over or drilling through several beams blocking the road, and bypassing several piles of rubble, a wooden partition was exposed after the lady pushed the sand in front of her eyes aside with her palm.
Quietly, the lady lifted up the partition, and a downward staircase appeared in front of Kieran.
"Come in!"
The lady turned sideways and motioned for Qin Ran to enter.
Qin Ran walked into it without hesitation.
With a glimmer of light, Kieran had already seen clearly what was going on below.
This was supposed to be a storage room.
Has a wooden shelf and some tools.
Other than that, there is no one else.
So there's no such thing as an ambush.
Entering the storage room, Qin Ran stood at a corner of the stairs, quietly waiting for the lady to come down, and introduced himself softly.
"Hi, my name is Qin Ran!"
"Colin! Are you a soldier?"
The other party asked like this, with probing and never-disappearing vigilance in his eyes.
Obviously, Qin Ran's use of the dagger before was still fresh in the other party's memory.
"No, it's just that I usually like fighting skills... Then, in this damn war, it was applied to actual combat! Moreover, I have no malicious intentions, from the beginning to now! You should understand that if I want to harm you, far away Don't bother!"
Qin Ran noticed the other person's eyes, and carefully said the identity he arranged, and explained it solemnly.
Soldier, in war, is not a good status!
In the eyes of the enemy, it must be killed!
From the perspective of civilians, the same should be killed, whether it is civilians of one's own side or the enemy's!
The torment of war makes people's bad natures explode, especially when one side has an absolute advantage, Kieran can completely imagine what kind of atrocities the lady in front of him has witnessed in the past four months.
After all, in the mission background of the dungeon, the word 'rebels' was mentioned.
Therefore, Qin Ran would not admit the identity of the so-called soldier.
Undoubtedly, Qin Ran's statement is extremely correct.
Or maybe, Qin Ran's explanation played a role.
After Qin Ran finished speaking, the vigilance in the lady's eyes immediately dissipated a lot.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked, but, you know, I've met quite a few rebel deserters! Some of them were kind, and some of them..."
Speaking of this, Ke Lin frowned, not knowing how to describe it.
"People are always good and bad!"
Qin Ran said.
Such words are not comforting, let alone evaluations.
However, in such a situation, it is still an appropriate word.
It was because of such appropriate words that Ke Lin temporarily recognized Qin Ran.
"As a reward for helping me, I can take you in for a day, and you need to leave before it gets dark tomorrow!"
Colleen said so.
"Grateful!"
Qin Ran replied.
Although Qin Ran wanted to ask for more information, it would be inappropriate to ask now.
Even though it's just a game!
But everything that was so real made Qin Ran understand that if he did something that didn't fit the game environment, then a series of chain reactions would inevitably occur.
May be good!
It could be bad too!
According to Kieran's experience, the latter has a great chance.
At least, he couldn't explain 'how can he, a guy who has been through four months of war, be unfamiliar with this city? '
Even Qin Ran could imagine the change in Ke Lin's attitude if he asked Ke Lin some questions that didn't fit his identity!
It is very likely that even the shelter in front of him that can stay for a day will be lost!
Therefore, when Qin Ran saw Ke Lin walked to a corner of the storage room, huddled there, and stopped talking, he also walked to the other side, leaned against the wall and sat down, narrowing his eyes slightly.
When his eyes narrowed slightly, the darkness blocked Kieran's vision.
With the physical strength restored by breathing, he did not feel physically tired.
However, mental fatigue made Qin Ran not want to move.
The fresh blood and the shock of death in his mind completely exhausted Qin Ran at this moment.
After a while, Qin Ran fell asleep completely.
…
Kieran woke up from his sleep when a rustling sound came from his ear.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that Ke Lin was sipping biscuits in the opposite corner, and judging from the opened backpack beside him, the biscuits came from last night's harvest.
Ke Lin's body froze when she saw Qin Ran looking at her.
Food has an extraordinary value in wars.
Bread and biscuits that are usually discarded at will may cause a chaotic battle at this time.
It's like Ke Lin and the survivor who was headshot last night.
Qin Ran, who had already understood everything in his heart, immediately signaled that he was not hostile after seeing Ke Lin's stiff body, and reached out to take out the canned food in his backpack.
From the beginning to the end, Ke Lin's body was stiff, and it was not until Qin Ran took out the can that he relaxed.
The danger of a fight plummets when both sides have food.
During the next breakfast time, neither of them spoke.
Ke Lin lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Qin Ran, on the other hand, was checking the system records while eating the canned food.
First, [Main task: Survive for seven days, 0/7] becomes [1/7]
Secondly, a [Hunger] state appeared in the character attribute column.
[Hunger: When in a hungry state, the upper limit of the maximum physical strength -20%, double the physical strength consumption, when the physical strength is insufficient, the life value will be reduced]
When all the cans are eaten, the [Hunger] status disappears in the character attribute column.
"Has even hunger appeared?"
Qin Ran thought silently.
Once again, marvel at the 'reality' of underground games.
But then the admiration turned into a sigh.
Because of the appearance of the special state [Hunger], Kieran had to work hard to collect more food.
And obviously, in this war-torn city, this is not an easy task.
"It should be able to last for about two to three days! If you want to maintain maximum combat effectiveness... two days is the limit!"
Kieran looked at the remaining two cans and a bottle of purified water in his backpack, thinking about his daily quota.
The result, of course, is not very optimistic.
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
The sudden cough interrupted Qin Ran's thinking.
Looking up, I saw Ke Lin covering her mouth with one hand and patting her chest with the other.
Undoubtedly, dry biscuits are not so easy to swallow.
"Drink of water!"
Picking up the purified water, Qin Ran walked up to Ke Lin and passed the water over.
Gudong! Gudong!
Ke Lin, who unscrewed the bottle cap, took two gulps and downed a third of a bottle of pure water before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you!"
Ke Lin looked at the remaining pure water and said with some embarrassment.
Food is essential in times of war.
Water, too!
And in a war, being willing to share food or water can only prove that the other party is really a good person.
Therefore, facing such a good person, Ke Lin's attitude softened again.
And began to chat with Kieran willingly.
And this is exactly what Qin Ran expected.
"What did you do before the war?"
Colleen asked curiously.
"Student, something happened later and became an otaku! What about you?"
Qin Ran talked about his own experience in reality.
"I'm a student too, but I was thrown into a service center because of fighting, drinking, and a few other things... Then, before I had done my 200 hours of volunteer service, the war broke out! Although at first, I was very grateful I was exempted from voluntary service, but now I would rather do voluntary service for the rest of my life than be trapped here!"
After Qin Ran finished speaking, Ke Lin began to talk about her own affairs.
Moreover, it looks a little eloquent.
The indifference that had been deliberately maintained before collapsed at this moment.
Qin Ran just shrugged his shoulders and continued to listen to what Ke Lin had to say.
In daily life, people wear masks to protect themselves.
What's more, this is in the midst of war
Everything that is abnormal is normal.
"I was originally near Sixth Avenue, but the guy 'Vulture' and his subordinates were more hateful than locusts. They completely looted all the supplies, and then I had no choice but to come to the garden villa area. Who would have thought that guy would It's coming! It's disgusting! Bitchi!"
"'Vulture'? Is that guy good?"
Qin Ran, who heard this nickname again, asked intentionally.
"Qin Ran, of course you haven't heard of him anywhere else!"
Ke Lin waved her hand and said directly.
"That guy 'Vulture' was just a punk before the war started! However, after the war started, he happened to be locked up in the police station. Weapons! And after the rebels deliberately restrained, this guy became rampant, pulling a group of guys who escaped from the police prison, raging on Sixth Avenue!"
"Other thug organizations dare not confront the 'Vulture', because that guy is not only powerful, but also vengeful. Any thugs and survivors who dare to offend him will not end well! The last thug who offended that guy The leader was directly hung on the telegraph pole in front of Sixth Avenue and burnt to ashes!"
During the speech, Ke Lin showed her familiarity with 'Vulture'.
However, as she spoke, Ke Lin's face suddenly became ugly.
Because, she thought, last night she and Qin Ran teamed up to kill the two subordinates of 'Vulture'.
Similarly, after hearing Ke Lin's explanation, Qin Ran's complexion couldn't look any better.
