This time the merchant appeared earlier. When Lu Ning arrived at the indicated location - the gymnasium, there were already two teams of people waiting there.
There was a group of young men and women who were obviously of student age, with sad and bitter expressions on their faces. There were more than ten of them. The things on these people were all in tatters, and judging from their faces, they were obviously in a state of not having enough to eat. However, Just barely surviving.
The other team looked better. It was led by two strong men, followed by seven or eight young men and women. Their expressions were serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they seemed to be quite serious about this transaction. When Lu Ning walked in, they even raised their heads and stared at the door.
The atmosphere was silent.
Lu Ning walked to a fallen basketball stand and sat down. Shang Wenxue stood beside it with one hand in his pocket, and at some point he lit a white candle on the handle of his hand. Zhou Weiyuan muttered something and sat down on the floor.
"I've wanted to ask...do you have any storage equipment?" Lu Ning asked Shang Wenxue in a low voice.
"Yes, two cubes." Shang Wenxue winked at her, "Five gold coins."
But she didn't say what it was, and Lu Ning stopped asking. From this, it seemed that Shang Wenxue was obviously not short of money, and he probably made a lot of money in the first world.
While waiting, Lu Ning took out her phone, looked at the mission record and thought about the problems in the mission.
Surprisingly, the mission to investigate one of the three locations did not appear completed. Lu Ning thought about it for a moment and understood that the mission indicated a location. However, she was completely attracted by the sympathetic device and did not investigate the entire classroom in detail. There must be some information still hidden.
While thinking, someone else entered the library.
Sun Bin walked in with two people. He still had the lazy look on his face. There was a conspicuous temperature regulator hanging on his body that doubled as lighting equipment.
Of course, with Sun Bin's virtue, he immediately walked over here after seeing Shang Wenxue. After all, excluding personality problems, Shang Wenxue is really attractive based on his appearance.
"This... beauty, I haven't seen you before. Are you new to this world?" Sun Bin started a very old-fashioned conversation as soon as he came up, while Shang Wenxue still had a smile on his face, which made him Feeling better about myself more and more.
Zhou Weiyuan sighed, stood up and said, "We meet again."
"Ah? Who are you? Have we met?" Sun Bin glanced sideways at Zhou Weiyuan and immediately curled his lips.
"I don't think you will forget it so quickly. We have met and exchanged a few words." Zhou Weiyuan said.
"Oh...ah haha, I'm sorry, my memory is not very good, so this beautiful girl is on the same team as you?" Sun Bin immediately patted Zhou Weiyuan's shoulder carelessly, and glanced at Lu Ning sideways, She stretched out her hand and hugged him to her side: "You are so blessed, kid."
"I just met them. They are very powerful."
"Yes, yes, if you weren't powerful, you wouldn't be alive now." Sun Bin gave Zhou Weiyuan a look, and then let him go.
Fortunately, this guy could only talk a little bit and wouldn't do anything, so Lu Ning didn't have to worry about Shang Wenxue being wrong and killing him here. After that, some scattered people entered the stadium, but compared to the last time, the number this time was much smaller.
Lu Ning, who was concentrating on thinking, suddenly felt his surroundings light up.
Just like the previous time, all the high-power xenon lamps on the roof of the gymnasium were instantly lit, illuminating the entire gym. The doors and windows were also locked with purple smoke. Five dwarfs swayed out of the locker room carrying suitcases. He walked out, walked to the midfield line of the middle basketball court, sat down, and said the same lines as before. The only difference was that this time it lasted for three hours.
With experience, Lu Ning and others already knew that this meant that the gradual change would begin in three hours.
At this time, the three of them had no need for equipment and supplies. The supplies on the people they killed before were enough to keep them alive for several days, so all the funds were used to purchase intelligence this time.
Lu Ning had already typed the question on her mobile phone. When it was their turn, she squatted down and asked in a low voice: "I want to buy some news, but I don't know the price?"
The businessman didn't even raise his head: "Two hundred copper coins for basic survival information, five hundred for commander-level and above monster information, special information is priced specifically, you can choose to dictate it or I will give you a file of information."
"Then please calculate a price for us based on these questions."
Lu Ning showed the phone to the businessman.
"One gold, one silver, and six hundred coppers. Copper coins of equivalent value are also acceptable." The merchant only glanced at it and immediately quoted the price.
Lu Ning's eyes suddenly twitched when she heard this price. She also collected some money along the way, but the sum total of all the information was definitely not enough for one silver coin. She thought that one gold coin would be enough to buy it. Who knew that information was so expensive?
She turned her head and glanced at Zhou Weiyuan, then looked at Shang Wenxue.
"oh."
Without any communication, Shang Wenxue understood it instantly, then reached into his sleeves and threw two silver coins to Lu Ning.
"Is it enough?"
Lu Ning nodded and went to pay the bill immediately, while Zhou Weiyuan looked at her curiously: "You are really rich..."
"What we are best at is stealing things and playing dirty tricks. Making some money is nothing." Shang Wenxue waved his hands, his face full of pride but not hiding it at all.
After Lu Ning completed the intelligence transaction, Zhou Weiyuan went up and exchanged his change for several multi-interface chargers and a self-charging spare battery. After buying these, they gave up their position, and Sun Bin happened to be behind them.
"Don't show off your wealth." Sun Bin said meaningfully as he passed by them, "Besides, there are two clean and beautiful girls here. You should leave quickly and stay away. Someone will definitely be watching you here. "
"Thank you." Zhou Weiyuan raised his hand.
Sun Bin shrugged his shoulders, walked over and knelt down to talk to the businessman.
Lu Ning and the other three immediately passed through the door shrouded in purple smoke and came outside. The icy wind was even more biting now, but another voice could be vaguely heard lingering in the wind.
"There are two mice behind us, are we going to kill them?" Shang Wenxue asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, let's go to B3 now."
"Experimental building? Why don't we find a safe place to wait for the gradual change?" Zhou Weiyuan was a little surprised.
"Here."
Lu Ning took out a piece of intelligence information from the businessman and handed it to Zhou Weiyuan. This question asked where the designated places were when the relevant phenomena occurred, where the researchers transported the sympathetic devices.
The answer given by the businessman is: [Lecture Hall on the fourth floor of the A1 auxiliary building, Room 303 of the B1 Experimental Building, Dormitory Room 107 of the C1 dormitory building. 】
"Oh?" Seeing this answer, Zhou Weiyuan immediately agreed to Lu Ning's plan.
He subconsciously corresponded to the three scheduled locations mentioned by Wei Shu before, but he didn't think about it as much as Lu Ning did.
"Now that we know that a device is indeed placed in A1, and the location of the dormitory is the same, should the last device be in B1 or B3 now? Considering our limited operation time, we should go to B3 marked in the distribution center mission first. It’s the better choice.”
Needless to say the rest, the existence of differences means the existence of problems. The three people quickly ran towards the B3 building, and the people chasing behind them lost their target within two minutes.
==============
B3, this experimental building is located in a corner of the campus and is built side by side with a multi-functional teaching building. It can be seen from the number that it was built relatively early. It was once used by the medical school as a research area for medicine or pathology. Later, after the medical school built a new experimental building, it was converted to psychology and various exploration majors. A place where courses are used to conduct specialized experimental classes.
Because of this, there are still some human meridian diagrams, anatomy diagrams, brief descriptions of medical cases and the like that were not taken away in the corridor. Under the dim moonlight, the old paper pages have a yellowish color, as if they will be covered with a layer of blood at any time.
"From a geographical point of view, this place is indeed very remote and does not seem like a suitable location for installation..."
Lu Ning checked the school map stored in her phone in the corridor. Compared to B3, which was close to the edge of the school, B1 was indeed a very good location. Viewed from the plane, A1, B1, and C1 could at least form a standard equilateral shape. Triangle, her knowledge of physics is average, but she also roughly knows that if there is any phenomenon that conforms to the laws of nature, it will always secretly conform to some standard models.
"Wait before moving forward." Shang Wenxue pointed his gun at the deep corridor, "I smell the smell of killing. I'm afraid there are some minor troubles that need to be resolved first."
Just say it, she pulled the trigger directly. There was only one laser beam this time, but it was much thicker. An explosion-like sound came from the depths of the dark corridor, like ice exploding.
Immediately afterwards, a scalp-numbing "click-click" sound came from deep in the corridor.
The moonlight outside the window was bright, and when the hidden monster passed by the window, its face was finally revealed.
It was a cylindrical body made of a piece of ice, with a human face frozen inside. A dozen human arms and legs stretched out from around the cylinder in a completely disordered manner, like spiders. Moving forward quickly against the walls and floor. The skin of those human parts was all a frozen blue-purple color, and their eyes were staring blankly at the three people at this end of the corridor. There were actually six or seven monsters like this!
However, Lu Ning has already seen more disgusting monsters, and this kind of curiosity cannot sway her at all. The next moment she saw the monsters, she raised the mini-submachine gun she had collected from the marauders, pointed it at the monsters and fired at them!
Ice shards were flying, and the hard ice could not be penetrated by bullets, but the same could not be said for those human limbs. Soon, two or three broken arms and legs flew up, but not a trace of blood was spilled.
"Huh~"
At this time, Shang Wenxue took out something like a wine bottle, popped off the bottle cap, pointed the fuse inside at the white candle on the cane, lit it, and then threw it into the corridor!
boom!
The explosion was accompanied by fire, completely illuminating the surroundings, and the stench rising from the burning proved that this hit was successful. However, several monsters still rushed out of the flames. Although their limbs were burning and their torsos melted, they still fiercely pounced on Lu Ning and the others!
The cane was the first to pierce the head of a monster, and the smile on Shang Wenxue's face became even brighter. It seemed that such a struggling enemy was more to her liking. Lu Ning pulled out a dagger and faced another monster. The fire on its body was almost extinguished by the melted water, but all its limbs were easily cut off by the obsidian dagger, and it could only roar and roll on the ground.
Zhou Weiyuan was the most straightforward. He raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of dust. The moment the monster touched the dust, it exploded into pieces of ice.
"Can't you tell, you actually have a hidden hand?" Shang Wenxue turned to look at Zhou Weiyuan, then put the pistol close to the monster in front of him, and blasted it into a giant lotus root with a scattered laser.
"It's just a small trick. I got enough materials from the monsters you killed before."
This is probably an advantage of magic tourists. The power system they control is strictly limited, but it becomes convenient enough when they adapt.
From some previous exchanges, Lu Ning also learned that the magic that Zhou Weiyuan majored in belonged to the "smelting" category, which was a type of magic that had a wide range of uses and was more convenient and easy to use in scenes. Of course, he is not only involved in this, it is a personal secret that cannot be disclosed to outsiders.
It's a good thing that Zhou Weiyuan can exert a certain degree of fighting power. Lu Ning won't say anything. She squatted down and looked at the limbs that she had cut off, and her torso was kicked back into the flames by Shang Wenxue.
"How? What did you find?"
"It's frozen to death. All the blood and tissue fluid are frozen into ice cubes. If it weren't for the fact that ice can move in this world, it would probably be a frozen corpse." Lu Ning used a dagger to move an arm. "The thumb, index finger and middle finger are all frozen." Thin calluses, traces left by writing for a long time. Blood deposits in the direction of the wrist, and there are cuts near the elbow...formed after death."
"Let's go to 304 quickly and see what's there." Zhou Weiyuan curled his lips at the corpses. He really couldn't afford to study them with such a high level of quality.
"This leg should be that of a woman. She has been exercising all year round and has experienced some battles. Don't you think it's a bit strange to say it?"
"Where did the body go?" Shang Wenxue said.
"Yes, the monster's head and limbs are just a curious behavior, but what about the body? Since these people were once alive and were not specially made to look like that, they should have bodies, right?"
"Eated? Or thrown away? Anyway, this kind of thing is just disgusting. It's better to find more clear clues to find out more about this." Zhou Weiyuan said.
"You are quite opposed to this." Shang Wenxue glanced at him sideways.
"If you have ever experienced a scene where a mad alchemist is trying to refine a human body, I'm afraid you will also have some psychological shadow. The uncanny valley effect, how about I avoid it? Looking at these things now makes me feel uncomfortable." Zhou Weiyuan also He didn't hide anything and told the reason directly.
Lu Ning and Shang Wenxue will not go into details about this. Tourists who have experienced so many scenes will always have some unforgettable memories. The best way to deal with them is to slowly dilute them over time. No one can help this.
"Then turn your back and wait a moment." Lu Ning still insisted on checking every clue.
