Chapter 173 The World of Survival of the Fittest
In a large shopping mall, Wu Rui looked at the content on her phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luo Xi is fine. He entered a level scene before, and the signal there was blocked, so he couldn't be contacted." She stretched, and her original nervousness disappeared.
Sitting across from me is Brother Mao.
"Where did Guo Zening and those two people go?" Brother Mao looked around, looking a little anxious.
He has gone through several cycle days, but to be honest, it is still a bit difficult to achieve the kind of calm state like Luo Xi.
Sometimes, Brother Mao also wonders what kind of mental state Luo Xi maintains, so that he can maintain absolute calm most of the time.
He couldn't even feel any emotional fluctuations from Luo Xi.
That is, there is no passion, but there is no despair either.
Like a calm yet bottomless pool.
This kind of calmness and indifference does not give people negativity, but a sense of stability like a needle in the sea, a sense of trust that when you encounter any difficulties, you have a backer to rely on.
It can be said that Luo Xi is the backbone of these people.
It is also where hope lies.
“I don’t know, I said I went to the place that sells game consoles over there.” Wu Rui pointed to a game console store in the distance and said.
“How long has it been and you’re still so playful?” Brother Mao was helpless.
"They are different from you. You are a middle-aged man who is married and has a child. They are still young." Wu Rui said with a smile.
“You can’t say this, haven’t you heard that a man is a boy until he dies? You think I don’t want to play, I don’t have time, I’m not in the mood, who doesn’t want to play games well, I was also a master of games back then ." Brother Mao also smiled rarely.
After speaking, he stood up.
“I’ll go take a look.”
“I’ll go too!” Wu Rui also jumped up.
When I went to the game console store, there were quite a lot of people, all of whom were young people, and some were office workers. There were many trial devices in the store, and various game screens were displayed on the big screen.
Asking the clerk, the two were quickly led to a room at the back, but there were very few people here and it seemed very empty.
The two saw Fatty Qian and Ke Lan at a glance.
The two of them were looking at the big screen anxiously, feeling as excited as watching a live football game.
On the screen, there was a picture of a certain game. Wu Rui was not a master at playing games, and he didn’t play much on weekdays, so he couldn’t see what it was. However, Brother Mao could see that it was a game. A very classic game.
Best of all, he's played in the past.
“Where is Xiao Guo?” Brother Mao walked over and asked.
Fatty Qian turned his head to look, and then pursed his lips in one direction.
"Inside."
There is a glass room over there, and you can see Guo Zening wearing headphones and operating in front of a computer, with a solemn expression and sweat on his forehead.
"Why are you still having fun?" Brother Mao was stunned.
He found that there was another room, and there was also a person operating a computer in it.
Looking at the screen again, it was obvious that two people were fighting.
This is a battle game.
It's kind of like real-time strategy.
Wu Rui was talking to Fatty Qian and Ke Lan at this time. Then, her face became serious and she waved to Brother Mao.
“What’s wrong?”
“This is a scene.”
“What?” Brother Mao was stunned.
They ran here just for safety. They didn’t expect to encounter another level scene so easily.
"It's not that dangerous. This place is similar to Doudou Game House!" Ke Lan said, and then pointed at the screen: "Two memory collectors duel, and some cards are needed as tickets to participate. If the contestant wins, he can get a reward, if he loses Yes, the ticket is a loss, but you can bet on this ."
"That is, other Memories people, such as us, including the contestants, can bet on who will win and who will lose before the game."
"You bought it?" Brother Mao felt that it must not be that simple for these two guys to watch the game so excitedly just now.
Seeing the two people nodding, Brother Mao was helpless.
There are other customers here, but obviously they are also memory collectors.
Luo Xi did not prohibit participating in other level scenes, but the advice he gave was to think more, master the information and rules as much as possible, and then adapt accordingly.
Brother Mao and the others knew that they could not rely on Luo Xi for everything.
I am not a nanny or a bodyguard.
To survive and strengthen yourself in the days of confinement, you cannot just rely on others.
So in private, several people have discussed it. If you encounter a level scene, challenge it if you can.
Only by constantly challenging scenes and accumulating experience and cards can we preserve our memories and survive better.
In this regard, everyone’s sense of crisis is different.
The person with the strongest sense of crisis is undoubtedly Guo Zening.
"Xiao Guo is determined to challenge this scene, and we can't stop him." Fatty Qian also said at this time. He thought for a while and then said: "Actually, I understand Xiao Guo's mood. He He wants to prove himself, not only to us and Luo Ju, but also to himself."
Brother Mao moved his lips, thought for a while, nodded and sat down.
"How about it, who has the advantage?"
On the screen, it should be an old-fashioned real-time strategy game. On a large map, two colored forces are competing with each other.
There are resource points such as gold mines and timber, and various functional buildings need to be built, such as timber factories, barracks, and various buildings to develop technology.
Both construction and production units require resources.
Each unit of your own requires players to control it one by one, collect, explore, fight, treat, etc., and all need to be released manually.
Coupled with the construction, production, combat exploration and micro-management, the release of skills, and the fight for treasures, all of this combined is definitely a game that requires all concentration and even long-term practice to reach a certain level.
It can be said that the threshold is relatively high.
Brother Mao remembered that when he was young, he not only played, but also played at a pretty good level, so just looking at these pictures reminded him of some past memories, but these memories soon took on a A strange tearing feeling, some kind of hidden memory was awakened.
"Xiao Guo is very powerful and has a huge advantage!" Fatty Qian replied.
"Oh, that's good." In the next moment, some incredible pictures suddenly flashed through Mao Ge's mind. These pictures were like sharp blades slicing through his nerves, and what followed was Just severe pain and dizziness.
Brother Mao covered his head and gritted his teeth to persist.
Next to her, Wu Rui noticed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to check.
"I'm fine." Brother Mao lowered his head and waved his hands. He found that as long as he didn't explore those weird memory fragments, the discomfort and severe pain would be relieved.
“What kind of memory is that?” Brother Mao could only guess the answer from a few flashing pictures.
One of these scenes shows him standing in front of a screen, looking at the news reports on it. It seems that a terrible disaster is happening.
Then he remembered the scene of a queue. The queue was so long that the end could not be seen from the front and the end could not be seen when looking back.
The next picture was of a huge thing. He and many people looked up at this huge aircraft.
With shock and unconcealable excitement.
These are all the weird pictures.
Every time I think about it, I can't remember more of it, but the pain is hard to add.
Brother Mao gritted his teeth. He felt that these memories should be very important, so even though he felt great pain in exploring the past, he still persisted and contacted them bit by bit.
That feeling is that you want to pick up something. You don’t know what it is, you just know that it may be important, and this thing is placed deep in the place full of sharp thorns and thorns.
If you want to get it, you can only get into these sharp thorns and endure the pain of sharp needles piercing the body and tearing the flesh. Moreover, this pain is almost endless and will continue to accumulate. , especially the deeper you go, the closer you are to that thing, the more needles there are around.
That feeling can drive people crazy.
It's as if every part of your body is warning and reminding you to step back immediately and stop moving forward.
You yourself know that retreating will relieve the pain, but that also means that you cannot get what you want.
Brother Mao was sitting on the sofa at this time, covering his head with his hands and constantly exploring the memory fragments he wanted to understand, like a brave man who had entered the thorn forest, even if he was covered in blood, even if The pain had tortured him to pieces.
"Almost, just a little bit, just a little bit close." At this moment, Brother Mao could no longer hear the outside world at all. He didn't even know the passage of time or where he was.
He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of that memory.
Even, to the point where it is within reach.
But at this critical moment, it seemed that someone suddenly grabbed his leg.
Stop him from moving on.
“Who?”
Brother Mao looked back angrily, only to find that the one holding him was Luo Xi.
"Brother Mao, come back!"
Luo Xi shouted.
The sound was like thunder, exploding loudly.
The shocked Brother Mao was spinning for a while. The next moment, the terrifying thorns and spikes disappeared. His vision was recovering. Looking again, the person standing in front of him was really Luo Xi.
Next to him were Wu Rui, Guo Zening and others who looked concerned.
"I, I" Brother Mao was very confused. He didn't know what happened. He only remembered that he seemed to be exploring something crucial.
But the strange thing is that he can't remember what it is.
This feeling is very uncomfortable, like a lump in the throat, unable to go up or down.
"Brother Mao, stop thinking about it, relax." Luo Xi's voice sounded, and Brother Mao's eyes refocused. Then he nodded.
Immediately afterwards, he found a lot of blood on his body.
"Where did the blood come from?" he asked.
But soon he discovered that the blood seemed to be flowing from his own body. He stretched out his hand and found blood on his nose, mouth, and eyes.
Luo Xi wiped the blood with a towel. The people next to him, Wu Rui, Fatty Qian, and Guo Zening, all looked very flustered.
Luo Xi's hand was very steady. While wiping the blood, he also used a card for Liu Mao.
【Narcotic toxin】.
At this time, Lin Qiqi gave him the stolen cards. There were many similar cards, all of which were obtained from the Scorpion card book.
It has a similar effect to anesthetics. It can be used to attack enemies, and it can also be used to help relieve the pain of one's own people, so as not to collapse in great pain.
After using the card, Brother Mao's condition became much more stable. He closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.
"What's going on?" Luo Xi stood up and asked. He also had a lot of blood on his body.
“I don’t know, Xiao Guo participated in a game level scene before. During the process, Brother Mao suddenly became like this. He couldn’t scream no matter how hard he looked. His expression was in pain. Later, he started to bleed from all his orifices,” Wu Rui said. There was a tremor in his voice.
She had never seen this situation before.
“How long has it been?”
“It’s been an hour. If you hadn’t rushed over and woke Brother Mao up, I’m afraid” Everyone knows that Brother Mao was in a very serious situation at that time. Danger.
The most important thing is that no one knows what happened.
How can a perfectly healthy person fall into a coma and bleed from all his orifices?
Too exaggerated.
Luo Xi looked at the time, it was now ten eleven in the morning.
It seems that there was a time when Brother Mao became a cleaner during this time period, and he looked very similar to him just now.
But not exactly the same.
Brother Mao did not activate [Surge of Resentment], he did it for other reasons.
"We can only wait until he wakes up." Luo Xi sighed.
Before, he split the stolen goods with Lin Qiqi in the hotel.
Lin Qiqi had her own plan, so she did not choose to act with Luo Xi, but she said that she would come to help whenever Luo Xi needed it.
He also said that if he wanted to sleep with her, he could call her at any time.
It is indeed very vigorous.
But there was no time at that time, because Wu Rui called and told Luo Ximao that something had happened, so he hurried over.
