Tingyun decisively turned his gaze to the "military advisor" Jingliu.
Jingliu just smiled and shook his head.
Seeing this, Tingyun just nodded thoughtfully.
… … …
"Ding... Unlocking the destiny of [Order], progress is 25%."
Winder, who was asleep, obviously did not hear the system prompt.
… … …
The next day, March walked out with dark circles under her eyes. She sat on the sofa in the living room with a listless look. She picked up the buns made by Wend, collapsed on the sofa, and ate breakfast with her eyes closed.
"What's wrong with you, March? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Xing looked strangely like the giant panda March.
"Wow... The soundproofing of this hotel is really bad, and the room is too quiet. I can't hear anything. It's really annoying."
March looked aggrieved and bit the bun in her hand hard.
"Wende~ Can you please wake me up~"
When March saw Winder slowly approaching with a new stack of breakfast, she decisively acted coquettishly towards him.
Looking at the dark circles under March's eyes, Winder was also startled. He quickly took out the lightning needle and lightly pricked the acupuncture points around her eyes. The dark circles that had originally accumulated quickly dissipated.
"Okay, okay, you're an adult now, stop being so childish."
Winder smiled and rubbed March's head.
"hey-hey… "
"By the way, are there so many ingredients for cooking in the Scrap Mountain?"
Ji Zi pinched the buns made by Wend and said with a little confusion.
"Of course not. I got it from Mary."
Winder shrugged and said, Mary had complained before that the high-quality flour bought at home was completely unusable, so it was reasonable for him to use it for her.
"So how much did you steal from Meili?"
Sanyue, who originally had a silly smile on her face, sat next to Xing with a vigilant look on her face after hearing what Winder said, and said silently to Winder.
"Uh... not much, right?"
Winder scratching his head.jpg
"Tsk... we've found the culprit who always makes Xing unable to control himself!"
Xiao Sanyue looked at Wend, who was scratching his head and pretending to be confused, with a truthful face, and said, "After all this time, it's you who are at fault!"
No, why was Kafka wanted
Suddenly thinking of this, for a moment, Sanyue looked at Xing with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
Is this... genetic
Chapter 59: Choice
According to the plan agreed upon yesterday, Winder took Jingliu and Tingyun to the intersection of the survivor base, scavenger camp, and Slag Gang's sphere of influence marked on the map.
Perhaps because the mask merchant had too much influence on the survivor camp, the old mayor wanted to make friends with everyone. After learning that the three were going to that place, he specially gave them a pass to the survivor base. Although he was skeptical about the specific function of this thing, Winder naturally would not refuse the old mayor's kindness. It would be great if it came in handy.
Along the way, Winder always felt that Tingyun behind him frequently sent some kind of resentful eyes to him and Jingliu, and Jingliu seemed to be in a good mood today. Although she walked as steadily as before, the careful Winder could vaguely see that her steps were a little strange.
Where was she hurt
Winder scratched her head in confusion, but didn't think much about it. If she was really injured, she wouldn't be so happy.
But what happened to Tingyun
Winder, who had no idea that the culprit who kept Xiao Sanyue awake all night yesterday was Jingliu, simply stopped thinking about it and decided to think about the main thing first.
At the very least…
Looking at the checkpoints set up by the people at the survivor base in front of him, Winder put away his slightly relaxed mood and replaced it with calmness and seriousness.
After passing this place, it is the junction of three forces. If it is not handled properly, I am afraid there will be a fight...
Although he felt that no one here could defeat them, and Jingliu alone could take down their camp by himself, their time was precious now and could not be wasted on useless things.
"let's go."
I took out the "token" given by the old mayor. It was a bullet necklace engraved with the mark of the survivors' base. In Punklod, "brass bullets" were old things that had been eliminated for centuries. Those who could take it out as a token were either collectors or junk collectors...
… … …
"Xing, we've all been walking around here, what are you looking for?"
Looking at Xing wandering around in the survivor base, Sanyue couldn't help but feel tired. They were in a hurry now! If they couldn't collect any useful information later, Sister Jizi would be angry, right
Thinking that the only drink he would have on the train from now on would be Ji Zi's coffee, Sanyue couldn't help but shudder.
It's so scary! It's so scary! The dark food she's been eating these days is so toxic that even she is going to be resistant to it!
"Um… "
Dan Heng was still playing games with his head down. After the mask merchant's lead yesterday, no one in the entire survivor base dared to provoke them now. The term "keeping a distance" could even be used to describe the reaction of the people in the survivor base to them.
But it is understandable. After all, the masked merchant was able to establish his position in such a dangerous scrap mountain. In addition to his goods, his "procurement method" is also chilling. According to some rumors they heard outside the hotel, those who contradicted them yesterday seemed to have "mysteriously disappeared" in the survivor base.
As for whether they escaped on their own or for some other reason... it doesn't matter anymore.
Anyway... when he is not needed for protection, he can just play some games... By the way, why hasn't he been online these days? Is it because he shut himself up after being scolded too harshly a few days ago
Dan Heng didn't know, and even felt a little regretful, after all, there was one less venting tank.
(Blade: I******)
"Okay, Mitsuki, let's go find Himeko."
Xing, who had come back from somewhere, said to Sanyue with a confident smile.
"Ah? Why did you go back? Do you know all that information?"
March raised an eyebrow and looked at Xing with her big pink-blue eyes, full of confusion.
"Of course! I'm the Intelligence Man!"
Xing nodded proudly and said that she had just learned information about the scavenger camp and the Slag Gang from the hackers in the survivor base. With this information, they could directly enter the Slag Gang's territory and then go straight into the underground reservoir!
"real?"
March crossed her arms doubtfully and looked at the confident Xing.
"Of course, March, if you doubt me like this, I will be sad..."
"? What's wrong with you? Do you have a fever?"
March looked like she had seen a ghost.
"Uh... Nothing, let's go find Himeko!"
Xing, who had come to his senses, spoke decisively to Sanyue.
"Are you really not having a fever? How about letting Dan Heng spit out some water to cool you down?"
“… Let’s not talk about whether splashing water on her would make things worse if she has a fever. What the hell are you asking me to spit out water for?”
Dan Heng complained silently.
"Ah... this is a metaphor! Yes, a metaphor! Haha, let's go find Sister Himeko as soon as possible!"
"… "
Looking at Sanyue pulling Xing in a hurry, Danheng twitched his mouth and just followed silently.
… …
"Yes, there are indeed some problems here. The energy of the star core seems to have stabilized, but interstellar communication has not been restored. This shouldn't happen, even if the star track is broken."
Inside the Star Dome Train, Walter shook his head at Ji Zi in the projection.
"Is that so... Then it seems that what the mask merchant said might be true. The star core of Punklord is so abnormal. If those so-called legends are really simulated and controlled by the Rift, it is not impossible for them to completely block interstellar communications with their means. But this is obviously wrong."
Ji Zi shook her head.
"That's right, but we can't rule out this possibility. You should speed up as much as possible. The sooner you reach the legendary tower, the safer Punk Lord will be. If it really is..."
Walter paused, then pushed up his glasses.
"If it is really impossible to save Punklode, you can teleport away through the boundary anchor on Punklode. Although it is a bit cruel to Punklode, the Star Train cannot stop here."
Walter's tone was very calm, but it was obvious that he was prepared for the worst.
"Well... I'll tell them."
Ji Zi was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly.
If they were practicing the path of [exploration] before, they would definitely not let this happen in order to protect the safety of the star track... But now as the train continues to grow, they must make a choice...
"Well, be careful on the road. I will keep a close eye on the Legendary Tower. If any problems occur, I will inform you immediately."
Walter nodded.
Chapter 60: Opening the Door
"Mei, why has Bronya been acting strange recently? She has been staying in her bedroom all the time and won't come out. Could she have the legendary Jade Disease?"
In the student dormitory of St. Freya College, Kiana and Mei were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Kiana looked at the closed door of Bronya's room and said with some concern.
"Yeah... I haven't seen Bronya in class these two days. I went to call her out yesterday, but she didn't reply..."
Mei touched her hands together, looked at Bronya's room with her beautiful eyes tenderly, and said with the same worry.
"How about we go and take a sneak peek at what she's doing?"
Kiana looked at Mei who was very concerned about Bronya, and suddenly had an idea and suggested.
"But... this is not good for Bronya, right?"
Mei was a little hesitant.
"Please! Mei! If Bronya is really ill, shouldn't we help her? If we just sit there and wait for her to die, won't Bronya be left to suffer from the illness?"
Kiana said to Mei with great sorrow.
"Is... is that so? Then we really need to find out what happened to Bronya."
Mei was obviously frightened by Kiana's appearance. She lowered her head and thought carefully, and found that what Kiana said was indeed correct.
"I have a solution! Mei! Come on!"
Kiana gently leaned into Mei's ear, and her warm breath and soft words made Mei feel that Kiana was teasing her, but what she said was indeed correct...
"… But, is this really okay?"
Mei was still a little hesitant.
"Don't worry! We're just taking a look, and I also have the key to Bronya's room!"
Kiana patted her chest confidently.
"Huh? How do you have the key to Bronya's room?"
Mei tilted her head in confusion, her eyes full of doubt.
Of course, it was made just for the purpose of opening Mei's door!
Without thinking at all, Kiana directly told this unspeakable past event.
"Kiana..."
Mei's face darkened, and then she seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Kiana with a blushing face and some disbelief.
"What about those socks and underwear I lost earlier..."
