In the endless sea, the scenery varies from place to place. The sun shines on the waves, the breeze blows on the deck, and the waves roll over the warships, and the artillery fires are loud.
The same vast ocean carries all kinds of people, but the ideals of sailing can be summed up in three directions: first, to spend the night in peace; second, to make money; and third, to climb the tower.
Two and three have a small overlap.
People who are dedicated to making money, among the many ways to make money, can count as one of the towers; people who are dedicated to climbing the tower will occasionally give out small money from the treasure chest.
At this time, in the endless sea in Hebei, on the route leading to the "South Flying Island", there were two such ships that met.
"The whole picture of the endless sea... I will give you the most cost-effective route... How can I defeat the tower guard..." Xu Wang took the list handed over by the neighboring ship and read it down one by one. Tired, sighed, and handed the list back, "Sorry, we really don't have what we want."
During the month, they were approached by "business people" more than a dozen times. There are those who ride on the floating ball alone, and there are those who are in front of them, in groups of four, on a big boat.
Every time, Xu Wang and the others took over the list with anticipation, and then they were poured cold water by reality.
The list of all the teams combined is not as rich as Mao Qiping once gave.
Today, this one is even worse. The list is garishly printed, and there are not many serious items. It looks like a flyer from a small travel agency. If you go there, you will be forced to shop.
"You don't have one you want?" The person in charge of contact was frustrated, standing behind the railing of his own boat, blowing the green hair highlighted on his forehead, "Really don't look at it anymore?"
"No." Xu Wang sighed and gave the other party an apologetic look.
The three teammates who stood behind the captain to help out were already very familiar with the process and immediately returned to their respective positions - Wu Sheng's cabin steering wheel, Kuang Jinxin's telescope to look out, and Qian Ai's deck stationed.
Within two minutes, the sailboat set sail again.
Xu Wang left the railing and returned to the center of the deck, facing Qian Ai's frowning face.
"Huh?" Captain Xu was concerned.
Qian Ai Wangtian let out a long sigh, "Why is it so difficult to buy a fourth level!"
"It's normal." Xu Wang could see it openly: "This place is close to Beijing. Basically, they only pass the first level and come here to fish in troubled waters."
Not to mention that there is no fourth level in the list, and even the third level is rarely sold. Most of them are the basic rules of owls and the various items of the endless sea, not necessarily all accurate information.
"If I had known this earlier, I should have gritted my teeth and went to Shaanxi." Qian Ai regretted it very much. "I'll spend more on transportation. At least Mao Qiping still has some dry goods."
"Shaanxi is such a huge endless sea, and it's not like you can find Mao Qiping when you go there." Xu Wang had thought about this earlier, "Besides, is that an extra 'point' for transportation? Four people, including a train and a month's accommodation, Calculate how many you have."
Although they are now entering the endless sea in Hebei, they still live in Beijing. They only need to carpool to the junction of the two places every night, which is equivalent to "day reading" every day, which is the most cost-effective.
Qian Ai didn't think about it that much, and let Xu Wang analyze it like this, and immediately dismissed the idea: "It's still important to save money. Anyway, we've saved so much stationery, no matter what kind of monsters and ghosts he is in the fourth level, just come!"
The word "come" was submerged in the monstrous waves.
More than a dozen shells fell from the sky, all of which smashed around the sailboat. In the very close sea, the waves suddenly raged, and the sailboat swayed violently!
Qian Ai was speechless, he was talking about the fourth level, just come here, not here!
Tucao returned to Tucao, the experience of fighting for several days made the little friends react quickly, Wu Sheng immediately stabilized the speed of the ship, and Jin Xin reported the battle situation at the same time: "Captain, it is the team that sold information just now—"
Xu Wang and Qian Ai looked at each other. If they couldn't sell information, they would robbery instead? This set is fresh.
The two ran to the stern of the boat, and without the use of binoculars, they also saw the familiar shadow of the boat in the waves that had just been separated.
Wu Sheng stabilized the steering wheel, also came out of the cabin, glanced at the attacker not far away, and asked his captain bluntly: "Do you want to do it?"
"Wait a minute," Xu Wang frowned, "you have to know the reason for the war."
Wu Sheng shrugged, noncommittal.
Thirty days of endless seas made Wu Junshi firmly believe that problems that can be solved with IQ and stationery are not problems.
But the captain of his own always likes to engage in outreach, chatting with this one, and chatting with that one.
"Little Green... Handsome guy—" The waves slowed down a bit, and the shells didn't continue to come, so Xu Wang started "socializing", "You guys do your business, let's go to the flying island, why are you hitting us—"
Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin exchanged glances, and what the captain almost blurted out just now was definitely "Little Green Hair".
"We're going to the tower too," the response came from there, "Everyone competes fairly and high—"
Qian Ai Hei Line: "This is the route to the flying island. You are a businessman, what's the use of going to the flying island-"
"Then you don't have to worry about it—" Whoever the other side loves, it's just right to die anyway.
Xu Wang probably understood what was going on, and asked straight to the point: "If we give the money, won't you stop making trouble—"
The opposite side was quiet for about ten seconds, and at least there was a reserved attitude before a response came: "If this is the case, it can still be negotiated—"
really.
Xu Wang had no problem anymore, he turned his head and said to Wu Sheng, "Let's fight."
After thirty days, Wu Sheng had the most weapons, so he played the vanguard every time.
But the situation changed too fast, Wu Sheng was a little caught off guard: "Have you finished talking?"
Qian Ai, who was about to persuade his captain not to pay so easily, was also stunned: "Do you still want to fight?"
Captain Xu replied together: "Well, after the chat, let's fight."
Qian Ai: "...Then what's the point of you asking if you can give money?"
Wu Sheng: "He's just curious."
Xu Wang: "I'm just curious."
The two said in unison, and at the same time, they were stunned and looked at each other.
Qian Ai covered his aching chest, he was a superfluous person!
"Whoa-"
A huge whale tail suddenly emerged from the water, impartially, and was shooting at the green-haired boat!
In front of the giant whale's tail, the sailboat of a decent size was vulnerable, and it overturned directly and buckled upside down on the sea.
The four Lu Mao are on the deck, and with this button, they can't swim even if they want to swim.
The giant whale seemed to be happy, and went straight into the deep sea, without a trace. After a while, the upside-down sailboat turned into a sea fog in the shape of a boat, and gradually dispersed in the sea breeze. If everyone went home, the tools they were on would also disappear.
The sea returned to calm, and the four partners looked at each other, Wu Sheng was the most confused: "I still have a stationery that is useless."
"I use it!" A familiar voice came from below the boat.
The four partners looked under the boat outside the railing. An inconspicuous floating ball was gently touching the boat's hull with the waves. In the half-opened ball, it wasn't Captain Yue Shuai who was sitting. Who else could it be
"Don't thank me too much," Yue Shuai raised his head with difficulty because the boat was too tall. "Of course, if you have to thank me, I can't refuse too much..."
"You said so, how can we not thank you," Xu Wang leaned out and bowed solemnly, "Thank you."
Yue Shuai: "...Just verbally thank you!!!"
Xu Wangle, just about to bully again, suddenly felt wrong: "Why are you sitting on the floating ball?"
"The five-person team becomes a four-person team, and whoever doesn't kick it," Yue Shuai said with a generous face, "I can only be the captain and wander."
At the beginning of the sixth stage, the team needs five people. If they retreat again, they will become a four-person team. Some teams will directly vote to kick people. Some people have a good relationship. Checkpoint, rendezvous - this is the only useful information Xu Wang and the others have obtained on the endless sea.
It has been a month since they met at the third level. If Yue Shuai and the others go through the level at full speed, they will break through the sixth level in one breath, and even reach the next level. But now five people have become four people...
"You failed to submit the papers again?" Xu Wang felt a little distressed for this team.
Yue Shuai squinted his eyes and squinted at him: "What is another..."
Xu Wang hesitated, unable to bear to sprinkle salt on the wound.
The teammates didn't see the subtlety, and honestly told me—
Kuang Jinxin: "Actually, when we first entered the owl, we received your submission information. At that time, your submission was 3/23. The last time we met again on 3/23, we didn't say it, but we knew it in our hearts. You are returning..."
Qian Ai: "This time you said that your team has changed from five to four. You don't need to think about it. You have reached the level of the first five and failed again..."
Wu Sheng: "Here is the endless sea in Hebei... You shouldn't be falling back to the first level, right?"
One stab to see blood, two to kill, three to hell.
Yue Shuai: "Xu team, it's a pleasure to see you, goodbye!!!"
"Hey, how fast can you float with one ball?" Xu Wang hurriedly stopped, "Come up, let's go together."
The sudden invitation caught Yue Shuai by surprise, and he subconsciously reminded: "Well, I'm going to the flying island too. I've passed the first level, and I plan to go to Shaanxi from here!"
"This is the flight path of the island," Xu Wang rolled his eyes, "If you want to go to Treasure Beach, we haven't brought it yet."
Yue Shuai didn't understand even more: "Then we are in a competitive relationship. Now that two teams have climbed the tower, there is only one spot left. How can you bring me?"
Xu Wang sighed, otherwise, the team is like a mountain, but there is no tacit understanding: "We didn't take you there, we took you there, we won't fly today!"
Yue Shuai was completely stunned in the sea breeze, his heart was inexplicably hot, like a warm baby being posted.
Taking advantage of the sluggishness of the Yue team, Xu Wang turned around and asked his partners for their opinions: "Let's leave a day later, okay?"
"It doesn't matter, it's been a month, almost a day, and..." Qian Ai glanced down at the boat and sighed, "It looks very sad, can you help me?"
Kuang Jinxin also agreed with both hands: "they don't want him anymore, we can't get in the way, we need help in the snow!"
Wu Sheng shrugged: "No problem, their team is not a threat anyway."
Xu Wang's heart was full, he knew that his teammates were all little angels!
Looking down at Yue Shuai again: "Come up quickly—"
Yue Shuai: "..."
He suddenly didn't want to go up, he was afraid that he couldn't help going up and died with those guys! ! !
Ten minutes later.
"Let me tell you, I can endure the failure of the 12345 exam. After all, every time I meet a different team, the situation and luck are also different. But on this 6/23, we attacked twice, failed twice, and returned to him. Mom was abused by the same team, blood abuse—"
Captain Yue not only got on board, but also finally found an opportunity to express his sadness.
So on the next voyage, the four partners were forced to listen to the tragic history of reincarnation of the Yue family army...
…
Seven days ago, 6/23, Kasbah Hotel, Beijing time, 00:03
The corridor with an invisible end is covered with dark patterned carpets. On the walls on both sides, at a distance, a candlestick is lit, illuminating one wooden door after another. The doors all look the same, only the number plates on them are different. At a glance, it looks like they are all the same door, getting farther and farther, endless.
In the silence, the door of 1009 quietly opened a gap, and behind the door, five pairs of eyes watched the movement of the corridor.
Yue Shuai: "First priority?"
Ji Yiming: "Find a secret way."
Tao Anan: "Or save point."
Wei Tianhang: "At critical moments, safety comes first."
Su Mingzhan: "Then I can rest assured."
Yue Shuai: "...don't steal the captain's lines."
After confirming safety, the five slipped out through the crack of the door, left the initial location, and started their journey through the barrier.
The first stop, next door, room 1008, because the last time, they found the secret passage here, if they hadn't met the gang later... Forget it, the past is unbearable.
In short, although the content of the level will be adjusted, but it is so close, going to the two-step road again, in case there is an unexpected gain.
1008 was unlocked, but when it was opened, it was pitch black.
With the light of their mobile phones, the five searched the room and found nothing, so they gave up and continued to go to 1007. When there was no clue, they could only search in a blanket manner.
1007 is also not locked.
But when Yue Shuai carefully pushed the door open, all of a sudden, golden light poured out!
In the room decorated like a church, the portrait of the Virgin was floating in the air, with a frown and a smile as if alive, and lovingly watching the empty two rows of benches, as if waiting for someone to sit in and bathe in the holy light.
Only the save point can emit such a warm light!
Yue Shuai couldn't believe his luck, so he immediately led his partner in, carefully locked the door, and couldn't wait to step into the bench of the Holy Light and sit down reverently.
The Virgin in the portrait slowly raised her head and seemed to meet their eyes...
"Boom, boom."
There were two knocks on the door, suddenly, but not in a hurry, with little force, with the politeness of a visit.
The Virgin lowered her head again, and the golden light in the room slowly disappeared—Archiving requires absolute silence. Once it is disturbed, it will be interrupted immediately, unless it is quiet again.
The five held their breath and pretended to be air, hoping to fool the competitors outside the door.
However, the knocker seemed to determine that someone was in the house, and knocked twice: "Dong, dong."
While holding his breath, Wei Tianhang suddenly felt a flash of light in his brain, and said in a very low voice, "Could it be an NPC?"
This sentence reminded Yue Shuai, he used his eyes to seek the opinions of his partners. After getting a positive answer, he got up and walked over, carefully opening the door a palm-width.
There are five people outside the door, all of them are black, and the knocker is the most kind-hearted here, with gentle eyes, seeing Yue Shuai, a trace of surprise in his eyes, but soon a friendly smile: "This save point can only be Save a team, can you give us the chance?"
Yue Shuai also smiled back: "I'll think about it."
Then the door slammed shut, turned around quickly, and shouted three words: "Five Black Gangs!!!"
The four partners changed color in an instant.
Wei Tianhang: "...Damn!"
Tao Anan: "Why are they again?"
Ji Yiming: "I finally got back to this level with the wild team, and I don't want to quit the team anymore..."
Su Mingzhan: "Tsk, more bad luck than good luck."
Although their moods were different, the movements of the four of them were very consistent - they all bounced up at the fastest speed and flew to the door to support the captain!
In just a few seconds, the five people gathered at the door, Yue Shuai abruptly opened the door with a strong force, and the four partners, one weapon and one weapon, all threw them into the corridor!
The five men in black did not dodge or dodge, but stood steadily, and the moment all the weapons rushed towards them, they turned into a little rain and dew.
Yue Jiajun was horrified, but before they could figure out what kind of armor the other party was using, the sound of an owl sounded in their ears first—
[Owl: Someone used on you~~]
The world suddenly quieted down.
The five of them couldn't move, their ears were covered by sound-proof membranes, and no sound could be heard. Then, a very fine tinnitus passed through the nerves, and then, a child's voice like the sound of nature sang poetry...
The scene in the eyes of the five people, whether the corridor, the five black gangs, or the candlelight, slowly faded, and when it came, it turned completely white.
[Owl: Baby~ I will have an early holiday and take you home.]
The five people in the house disappeared. The gentle man who knocked on the door was the first to enter, followed by the other four.
Walking at the end is a man with deep facial features, his expression is very light, there is an extremely cold feeling between his eyebrows, and he is born with a sense of oppression of "no strangers should enter".
He was the last to enter, but the four people walking in front of him naturally separated from left to right, making way for the Virgin Mary.
The man who came to the portrait didn't seem to have any interest in appreciating it, so he sat down in the center of the bench.
The gentle man and three other people entered his back row and took their seats.
Suddenly remembering something, the man turned back and asked the gentle man who knocked on the door: "The five black gangs... what are they?"
The gentle man who knocked on the door thought for a while, then smiled: "Maybe he's complimenting our uniforms."
The man frowned slightly, as if not satisfied with the answer.
The gentle man became serious and stopped joking: "The last time I was at this level, I met them. It should be after that time, and this code name was given to us."
The man was not impressed, but gave instructions: "Next time we meet, tell them your name first, and then do the rest."
"Received." The gentle man understood that the boss didn't like the name given by the other party, so he had to replace it with his own.
However, the five black parties are obviously very powerful, so why is the boss dissatisfied!
