Maoyou shouted excitedly, seeming to have forgotten what he said before to keep his voice down. Lu Ning walked over. She had discovered that the pillar was actually an elevator, and she didn't know what Mao You was excited about.
But when she walked next to him, Lu Ning saw it.
Not far behind the elevator column, in a position that would be blocked from the front view, was another mission machine, and what was different from Lu Ning's previous one was that this one had a purple label on it with three stars next to it.
"Three-star mission! Xiao Lu!" Mao You turned his head excitedly, but saw Lu Ning's cold face.
"Are you sure we can handle the three-star mission now?"
Maoyou was speechless.
"High star rating is definitely accompanied by high risk. I don't dare to embark on a high star mission when I have nothing. If you want to try it, I don't care, but don't drag me along."
After saying that, Lu Ning walked towards the pillar.
The distribution of mission points was denser than expected, but it was still in the wait-and-see stage, and she was not ready to try difficult missions yet.
The overall view of this garden can be seen clearly. It is also an indoor garden. Until now, we have not seen any windows or exhaust holes on the wall. We can only infer that this is a fully enclosed structure now.
In this case, this elevator may be crucial.
Lu Ning reached out and groped on the wall around the door, and soon touched a sensor board, and a running pattern also lit up above the door. The operation of this elevator made no sound at all. Even when the door was opened, it was silent. Inside was an elevator room that could accommodate about sixteen people.
"Oh, what is this?" Maoyou exclaimed when he saw the elevator, and then walked inside to look at the situation inside. Lu Ning followed into the elevator and first looked at the control buttons.
There are four buttons in total, diamond-shaped, from bottom to top they are leaves, sun, fruits and snowflakes. There are no emergency buttons like those found in ordinary elevators. Above the button, there are "Instructions for Use" written in various words.
【Terms and Conditions:
This elevator provides movement within the Four Seasons Garden, and the elevator is also the only tool that can switch between different gardens. After the elevator door closes, press the button for the garden you want to go to, and you will be sent to the elevator exit of that garden.
Note: After the elevator is used, you must wait five minutes before using it again. 】
The door closed silently, and Mao You yelled in a panic. Lu Ning reached out and pressed the button on the fruit, then paid attention to Mao You's movements and waited quietly.
Not long after, the door opened again. Lu Ning was slightly shocked. She was planning to judge the floor based on the change in gravity she felt, but she didn't feel any movement at all?
"Door, the door opened, I was shocked... Oh! Where is this place?"
There is an orchard in front of me, with a thin layer of fallen leaves accumulated on the ground, and there are many fruit trees around, which are full of fruits. However, if you ignore this view, you will find that the shape of the rooms here is exactly the same as what you saw in the spring garden before. There are even two circular rooms on the left and right sides of the elevator room.
Another thing that can confirm the change is the mission machine. The distribution density of this thing is indeed higher than Lu Ning thought, because when the elevator opened, she saw a machine facing the elevator door, which was also purple. Samsung mission.
But Maoyou was very happy after seeing it.
"Xiao Lu! Look, another three stars! Doesn't the appearance of so many mean that the difficulty is not high? I don't think there is any need to be so afraid."
"How did you survive on the 'street' with such vigilance?" Lu Ning still looked cold, "By the way, the rules there are a little stricter, and it really saved your life."
"If you want to live a good life, you have to be adventurous." Maoyou ran over excitedly and scanned the mission machine with his own instrument.
There was a soft sound, but it was slightly different from the receiving sound that Lu Ning heard before.
"Huh? It's locked? Is this machine already in use?"
The moment Lu Ning heard these words, her footsteps paused.
"No! Run!"
She rushed directly to Mao You, took his arm and ran into the corridor outside the orchard. At the same time, there was a sound of scolding behind her. Lu Ning turned her head and glanced, and she saw two figures. The tall men each carried a dead branch broken off from the tree and ran out from behind.
The exits of the rooms on both sides and the elevator doors are in opposite positions. Hiding in those two rooms and listening to the movements outside to ambush at any time is the most basic tactic. However, these two people are probably unwilling to give up that task and take it first. , then there is a flaw.
This building area is not small, and one hundred and fifty-seven people are scattered in it with almost no face to face. If you want to attack someone, you must have some planning.
Their minds were racing through the current situation. Lu Ning and Mao You had been running for a long time in the corridor. There were several pentagonal houses extending out from one wall, which looked like warehouses. The shape was ordinary, the wall blocked the view, and the two people behind didn't seem to dare to catch up.
Lu Ning stopped, panted slightly, and looked around.
There are four pentagonal houses in the corridor on the left hand side. The doors cannot be seen from the outside and should also be designed on the inner wall. The only one extending from the right-hand side has doors on both outermost sides. Under the current situation, Lu Ning was unwilling to run into a room with only one entrance and exit, so she approached a door on the right, opened it and took a look inside.
——This is actually not a room.
"Yes, have you found anything?" Maoyou asked breathlessly.
"Behind this is a corridor with two forked roads. No, it should be counted as four?"
Lu Ning was also a little surprised. She walked inside the door and looked around. In front of her was a long corridor, which separated the left and right roads at a very narrow angle about twenty or thirty meters away. Go straight in the direction. But this is just a fork in the main road. From here, you can clearly see a narrow passage more than ten meters to the right, and almost to the left, there is a glass door. Behind the door, you can see another courtyard covered with red leaves. , and a courtyard wall of blue bricks and red tiles that does not match the cold metal style in the corridor.
While Lu Ning was observing the situation of each road carefully, she suddenly saw a dark machine at the end of the left corner of the two roads, which seemed to be another mission machine.
At the same time, footsteps came from the road on the right.
Lu Ning and Mao You were on alert at the same time. The two people they had just met had proved that there were indeed malicious people here, and the footsteps this time did not sound like the same person.
A pair of young men and women walked out from the corner. Both of them held a table knife in their hands. It was the kind used to cut butter. It was not very sharp, but compared to the unarmed Lu Ning and Mao You. After all, it's like having an extra weapon.
The two people were suddenly startled when they saw someone on the corridor, and they all took a defensive posture. They relaxed a little when they found a short man and a girl who looked malnourished opposite.
"Were you brought here too?"
Maoyou asked.
The man opposite replied: "We, brother and sister, were tricked. Where did you come from?"
"Oh." Maoyou's voice immediately became serious again, "We are from the 'street', but it doesn't matter where this ghost place comes from, right? We just met two people who wanted to attack us, It took a lot of effort to escape!"
Did you have the nerve to say that you had a lot of effort in those few trails you ran? Lu Ning glanced at Mao You, wondering if she would say such words at this time.
"The streets? That place is pretty messy."
"I can't refute it. But I just do some petty theft. It must be harmless if you look at me like this. In comparison, we are more worried about you." Mao You said.
"We are residents of the 'City Wall'. My name is Libei Yangmu, and this is my sister, Libei Fengdai."
"Have you heard a little bit about it? After all, news about the city wall usually doesn't reach the streets." Mao You said with a smile, "My name is Mao You, a little-known little person. This is Xiao Lu, whom I met here. My friend, you are very vigilant and saved my life!"
"We just took some weapons for self-defense. If you don't do anything unusual, we won't attack others casually."
"...You have a mission." Lu Ning suddenly spoke.
Li Beiyangmu was startled for a moment, and then realized that he had acknowledged Lu Ning's words at that moment.
"Don't worry, we also have missions, so we can probably guess a thing or two. The knife in your hand means that you have found a supply point, which is a place to get water and food, and you can safely obtain weapons from there. Your There are no traces of fighting on the clothes, indicating that the situation at the supply point is relatively safe. Now that we can drive two people to leave a safe place and come to the corridor, with such an obvious sense of vigilance, it means they have a mission and they must complete it within a time limit. I Is that right?"
"Is this the case for you too?" Li Beiyang immediately asked,
"Well, how about this, you tell me the location of the supply point, and I tell you how to get to other gardens. How about this exchange?"
"Okay." Li Beiyangmu also simply agreed and immediately agreed.
"Then just in case, I will tell your sister the method, and you will tell my companion the location, and we will exchange at the same time."
Immediately, Lu Ning revealed the exchange method he had already thought of. Libei Yangmu is also very satisfied with this method of improving safety. Lu Ning and Mao You walked over and stood on both sides. With a gesture, they both whispered the information they knew.
After the transaction, Lu Ning immediately pulled Mao You aside. Libei Yangmu also knew the meaning of her action. He glanced at his sister, then said "This transaction is very good" and hurriedly led people to Lu Ning's place. The direction passed.
"Did you tell her there was an ambush there?"
"I told them how to use the elevator, and to be careful about someone taking advantage of it. If that doesn't raise awareness, it won't save them. What did you hear?"
"Not far, just in front, keep walking along the corridor. There is a courtyard on the other side. There is a large conference room in the courtyard, and the supply point is right there." Maoyou said happily.
"Well, let's go this way first." Lu Ning pointed to the left.
"Huh? They didn't come from the right side..."
"There is a mission machine here, I want to test it."
Lu Ning did not ask Mao You for his opinion and walked directly to the left passage. The thing at the corner is indeed another mission machine, and it is a simple one-star mission machine.
She scanned the instrument on her arm, and then a line of words appeared on the screen of the machine - there is a task in progress.
"In this case, at least tasks of the same level cannot be received repeatedly. Maoyou, you are here to take over this task."
"okay."
Maoyou quickly scanned the screen, and this time the task appeared on the screen normally:
[Mission Level 1: Before the first crisis arrives, obtain a weapon from any weapons arsenal. 】
"Oh! I'm looking for a weapons cache!"
"There are twelve small weapons depots, but they are definitely harder to find than the supply points. We have to replenish some water and food first. I feel hungry now."
“But isn’t it important to arm yourself?”
"The supply point will become an important battle in the later stage. We may not have many good opportunities to receive supplies in the future." Lu Ning only said this and continued walking along the road.
Just as she guessed, the end of the road here actually merged with the right side. It just turned a corner. The corridors on both sides were basically symmetrical about the center. This was actually a bit strange.
Regardless of aesthetic issues, purely from practical considerations, the function of these two bifurcated corridors is no different from that of a straight corridor. Moreover, the corners add a period of walking distance, and there are no special room doors in the curved parts. .
Lu Ning looked back at the corridor and recorded the situation in her notes.
Since it is symmetrical, there is also a glass door on the right hand side of this corridor, and there is also a narrow passage on the left.
Behind the glass door is the courtyard Libei Yangmu mentioned. It's autumn colors here, and the body temperature is slightly lower than in the Spring Garden. The location of the large conference room is very obvious. It is as big as a building within a building. The circular wall surrounds the outside. When you walk in, , you can see the pentagonal structural layout extending from the inner circle, which can be said to be two layers, inside and outside. Even the conference room is decorated with fallen leaves and autumn scenery. After walking around half a circle, you can see the door leading to the interior.
At the same time, people can also be heard talking.
"I didn't come in voluntarily. Damn it, didn't I just owe some money?"
"I miss my parents..."
"What a sin..."
The voices of men, women, old and young were mixed, and there seemed to be quite a few people. Lu Ning and Mao You opened the door together, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the room.
With a glance, Lu Ning remembered the characteristics of the fifteen people here.
