Behind them was the elevator. Five minutes had passed since Alpha used it, and everyone returned immediately and took the elevator to the Summer Garden.
People's activity areas are spreading out.
In the Four Seasons Garden, on average, there are less than forty people in a garden. This number is not easy to encounter in a vast garden. But only at the beginning.
As more and more people test the rules, at least before the first crisis, more than half of the people will definitely master the use of key points such as elevators and realize the strategic significance of these places thereafter.
The door opened, and a stream of heat poured into the elevator. Maoyou shouted at that time: "It's so hot in here!"
"After all, it is the Garden of Summer." Lu Ning walked out and looked behind him for the first time this time. It had the same layout as the previous garden, but the door on the curved wall had changed from being diagonally opposite the corridor to two doors. The center of the side room. Lu Ning walked around to the back of the elevator shaft. The door where the weapons depot was originally located was gone, and there was a machine there with a very eye-catching red label.
"Four stars?" Several people following behind were also surprised.
"I want this mission." Lu Ning said directly, "If you are confident that you can go ahead, you might as well tell your reasons, otherwise I will take it."
This machine is hidden behind the elevator, which is already a very hidden location. In addition, there is no door in the rear room and you can find it by walking to the side, and the machine cannot be seen from that position.
"You are the captain." Mao You naturally supported directly.
The other three glanced at each other, and it was clear that what Lewanska said before still had a deep impact on their hearts. Lu Ning walked over, and they didn't say a word.
Red – four stars.
Lu Ning squinted her eyes and put the instrument in her hand close to the groove.
There was a soft sound, and the task appeared:
[Task Level 4: Release the weather lock on a garden before the end of the first crisis. 】
Good, so her and Lewanska's goals coincide.
The only difference between the second-level mission and the fourth-level mission is the time limit and unlocking range limit. But this time it jumped two levels. Lu Ning had already expected the difficulty.
She told the others directly about her mission.
"Sounds like this weather lock is a very important thing?"
"But we don't know if unlocking is a good thing or a bad thing..."
Several people began to discuss, and Lu Ning immediately said: "Let's not mention this for now. Let's deal with Qiao's task first."
"Lu, do you have an idea in mind? This is a four-star mission." Mao You asked uneasily.
"no need to worry."
The overall layout of the Four Seasons Garden is similar, such as this inner garden, and the previous comparison between the Spring and Autumn Gardens. The rooms in the corridor are different, but the corridors are all in the same state. This made Lu Ning want to figure out the structure of the entire garden more and more. She already had a rough map in her hand. She didn't forget to draw the places she passed along the way. It was just that she couldn't distinguish the directions of southeast, northwest and northwest after taking the elevator. That’s all.
Speaking of direction, there was no direction sign in this building. Even now, Lu Ning was not sure what kind of structure the gardens were.
But after leaving this small garden and entering the courtyard of the Summer Garden along a similar short corridor, Lu Ning could see a house similar to the previous large house. There are lush trees in this courtyard, and the temperature is a bit sultry, so the lights above seem to be much brighter. The big house had a side door. Lu Ning opened it when he passed by and found that it was a large public kitchen with a small bathroom separated by a wall. From the similar furnishings, it seemed that this was a supply point, but there were only three A place where food is taken.
In the center of the kitchen, at the intersection between the main door and the side door, is a work machine. A tall woman is leaning on the machine, holding a bottle of water in her hand, wearing a black jacket and sports trousers. trousers and holding a short stick in the other hand. She saw Lu Ning and others turning their heads as they opened the door, with a hint of vigilance flashing in their eyes, but they hadn't made any defensive moves yet.
"Hello." Maoyou smiled and waved, "Is this a supply point?"
"Nonsense." Lu Ning muttered.
The woman nodded and pointed to the nearby collection areas with a stick: "You can just take the food directly from there, oh..."
She noticed the bag Aunt Pingna was holding, and combined with the clothes of several people, it was not difficult to guess that these people already knew about the food issue.
"Can I ask why you stay here?" Lu Ning asked, "If you just want to eat, you should be able to leave after eating."
"My mission is to stay here for more than ten consecutive minutes." The other party's face was a little stiff.
"That sounds like a one-star mission, so you also took over this two-star mission?" When Lu Ning walked in, she had already seen the color of the label on the machine.
"Yes...how is it?"
"Nothing, I'm just asking. We won't attack others casually, that will only slow us down."
"oh."
"Beauty, can we share a name? Or maybe we can act together later?" Mao You started to strike up a conversation again.
"I don't want to act with strangers." The other party was very wary, "You seem to be quite capable and don't need me."
"Don't be so open-minded...Pfft!"
Mao You still wanted to speak, but Lu Ning elbowed him in the stomach.
"You've been here for a while, do you know where there is water?"
"You mean a pond? There is one in this courtyard. You can see it if you walk a little way forward. There is a stream in the courtyard next door. That's all I know."
"That's enough, thanks."
After Lu Ning finished speaking, she withdrew from the side door to prevent the woman from being overly vigilant.
After all five people came out, Mao You rubbed his belly and asked, "Why don't we win her over?"
"You really want to join the gang when you see someone." Qiao grinned, "We don't even think about how we can persuade people if they don't want to."
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Lu Ning pushed aside the grass. There was no existing road in the courtyard, and the many plants and grass here blocked the view. However, other rooms could be seen in front. It was different from the large conference room in the courtyard of the Autumn Garden. Here There were three scattered four-pointed houses, each with one corner cut off and half replaced with the entrance door wall. Lu Ning felt that if she went in and searched, she should be able to find the mission machine, but now she would like to deal with the mission she started with. That's good.
Passing between the three rooms, the trees became slightly sparse, and Lu Ning finally saw the pond surrounded by vegetation.
The water is very clear, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it. It doesn't smell like swimming pool water with a disinfectant smell. It just looks like a natural source of water. Lu Ning gave Qiao a look. He quickly took out the water bottle and poured out the water, then approached the pool and carefully immersed the bottle in the water.
Without any surprise, the 250 ml plastic bottle was filled again with water. Qiao took out the bottle and screwed on the cap, with some disbelief on his face: "Is this considered...done?"
"Halfway completed, how difficult do you think the one-star mission is?"
Lu Ning shrugged, but at this moment, she suddenly heard a rustling sound in the forest. Someone was pushing away the grass from the other side and heading this way.
"Who!" Gorius shouted directly.
"Oh? There are people here."
A response came from the forest, and immediately, the bushes were opened and several people came out.
The answer was a woman with beautiful brown hair. She was holding a machete in her hand and chopping down the obstructing trees, and soon opened a path that was barely passable. Behind her were a thin-looking young man and a slightly submissive man, and behind her were a girl with her arms folded and Ji-style long hair.
The clothes on these people have also been changed into leather clothes and pants with stronger defense. Obviously, the equipment provided by each weapon depot is also slightly different. The camouflage uniforms worn by Lu Ning and others are all worn by these four people. Not wearing anything.
"Hello everyone, I thought no one would come to a place like this. Is it for a mission?"
The woman raised her hand and said hello.
"So you are here for the mission?" Lu Ning said.
"We need to visit all the water bodies." The woman smiled, "Luckily we saw a faint pond here when we passed by before, otherwise we might have missed it."
After speaking, she stretched out her hand to Lu Ning: "I am Helena. I live near the city walls and streets."
"Your appearance and temperament don't match your background. You can call me Lu." Lu Ning shook hands with her.
"My mother is in the leather and meat business, but it's relatively advanced. My father also gave me a little influence."
"Then why are you here?"
"Obviously, I was unlucky enough to fall into some upper-level power struggle and become a victim." Helena obviously didn't care about this. "By the way, have you seen the water before? You have to take three When it comes to ten stars, mutual help is indispensable, am I right?"
"I heard that there is a creek in the courtyard next door. I don't know the specific location. Did you meet here?"
"No, I have known each other before. Where are you? Although we have to help each other, but to be able to form a team here, we must at least have some connections, right?"
Helena glanced at her companions behind her and smiled.
"What direction are you coming from?"
"A six-pointed star-shaped room. There are some weapons provided in it. They are all cold weapons, but there are no supplies. Oh, there is also a mission. We have already taken it, a two-star one."
"Are there any hints there?"
"We didn't pay attention. After changing our clothes, we quickly went out to do the task. After all, stars are very important resources, right? But my road has been opened. You can go and take a look again."
Helena gave in and pointed to the road behind her. The road broken by the machete is quite obvious in the jungle.
"Okay, thank you."
"Here, helping others is helping yourself. We have to continue taking action. We'll see you later, right?"
"Um."
Helena slashed open another bush with her knife and walked towards the exit of the courtyard, followed by several of her teammates. Lu Ning waited for them to leave the road, then walked over and followed the opened road towards the hexagonal room.
The route Lu Ning took was more convenient and faster after all, and he quickly disappeared into the jungle. At this time, the girl at the back of Helena's team spoke in a low voice.
"Helena, is she just..."
"If there was no disguise, it should be her. But now is not the time, Mayuri. We need to figure out the situation of the scene first. Making friends can be left behind."
"I know."
"But isn't this bad? I heard that some of the people below suffered heavy casualties in battles with her..."
"Kanzaki, Kanzaki, don't say such things in front of the captain." Helena shook her finger, "You have to know that the only things our assassination department needs to consider are the opinions of the parliament and the captain, even if they are on the same level as us The rest of the assassination team has no right to interfere with our standards of conduct, let alone the group of brats below who are still wielding swords and guns."
"yes……"
"Don't be so timid. Since you have been selected, it means that you have talents that we recognize - you don't need to doubt yourself." Helena glanced at the man, "It is said that the member of the parliament, Michaelo, also hated it back then. A confident person, but now he is honored at the fifth level... Please grow up with this as your goal, Kanzaki."
"Yes, but that is Lord Michaelo..."
"I just said, you have to be confident, right?" Helena lowered her tone slightly, with a bit of unquestionable severity, "Or do you think the decision-maker who selected you - the captain and I made a mistake? ?”
"Yes!" Kanzaki hurriedly straightened his body.
===============
After walking less than a hundred meters, Lu Ning found herself near the six-pointed star-shaped house.
Because the walls were covered with vines, Lu Ning didn't realize it was a room until she got closer. She walked around the room a little and found two doors, one on the edge of the two corners, still in a symmetrical position in the center. After making sure there were no traps around, Lu Ning opened the door and walked in.
Once inside, the stuffy feeling immediately eased a lot. The interior of the room is a pleasant lounge with a sofa made of bamboo and wood. There is a clock on the wall that shows the time remaining until the first crisis, and there are some calendars on the wall - only the summer calendar, corresponding to the season of the garden. But there is no day of the week on the calendar, only the date. Probably the usage of the day of the week has disappeared here.
The two sharp corners are the weapon collection points similar to the supply points. There is an additional control panel. One can choose the type of weapon you want, only cold weapons; the other can choose the type and size of clothes. When Lu Ning was just getting closer to study, she suddenly heard Mao You calling her: "Lu! Come here and take a look at this!"
Lu Ning knew that Mao You must have discovered something special, and immediately walked over.
In another corner of the room, there is a bookshelf with many brand new books on it. At this time, part of the book had been moved away by Mao You, revealing a red button on the background of a yellow and black warning strip. There was a name and text description next to the button.
[Summer-No. 2 Courtyard Area-Weather Unlock]
