Liu Xu originally thought that after entering the assembly hall, he would see a place similar to the waiting hall of a train station.
But actually after entering, I found that this was more like a club. After registering my personal information at the entrance registration desk, I was led by the service staff and entered a long corridor with rooms on both sides of the corridor. The door, the distance between the doors is very long, it can be seen that the room inside the door should be quite large.
The nameplate of the preparation room No. xxx was written on the outside of every door, and Liu Xu was finally taken to the door of the preparation room No. 0154.
Liu Xu pushed open the door and found three people waiting inside.
"Hello, I am the new author Yi Zhou, and I am also our teammate this time. Who are you?" said a tall, handsome man with a very good appearance.
"I am the King of Yuanshi, and I am also a new author!" Liu Xu said quickly.
"Great, I've finally waited for you. You don't know, I was the only new author here before, and I was so uneasy!" Yi Zhou shook hands with Liu Xu excitedly, and then began to quickly exchange greetings. .
In fact, Liu Xu didn't think this guy would be uneasy in this room, because he quickly took Liu Xu's hand and introduced him to the other two teammates in the combat readiness room, namely the second-level author Liang Yu Banxia and Yi Yi. Super author Jin An Yaoxian, and it seems that he is already familiar with these two seniors.
Compared with Yi Zhou's initiative and enthusiasm, the two authors maintained a certain degree of aloofness and only nodded slightly when greeting Liu Xu.
"Brother, have you brought all your equipment?" Yi Zhou continued to say to Liu Xu enthusiastically, "I see that you are only carrying a small bag. This is not good. It is our first time on the battlefield as a new author. The most important thing is not to Cause trouble to teammates. We must bring all kinds of equipment, especially all kinds of equipment that are auxiliary to the team to help the team solve logistical problems. We must show our own value."
"Oh, thank you, but I don't think it's so troublesome!" Liu Xu refused.
"Yes! Yes! You see, each combat readiness room is actually connected to the trading market in the assembly hall. All the equipment needed for combat can be purchased here. I have done research. This time our team is on a mission. We need at least a drone that can facilitate world power induction detection, some concussion bombs, and, by the way, some emergency reading tickets to restore the power of reading. These are what newcomers like us should do!" Yi Zhou gushed.
"Hey, newcomer, you know it very well!" After hearing Yi Zhou's words, Liang Yu Banxia next to him narrowed his eyes and said.
"That's right, my brother is also a third-level writer, and he taught me his experience back then. For newcomers like us, the most important thing is to position ourselves in the team and create important value for the team. Only in this way can we enjoy the protection of our teammates with peace of mind!" Yi Zhou said sincerely.
"Yes, that's it!" Liangyu Banxia nodded with great satisfaction, and then Yi Zhou pulled Liu Xu to the trading computer in the combat readiness room and said, "I have prepared a list of the required supplies. They are all here. The total value is 80,000 Canglan. We are both newcomers, so one of us will bear half of it, and the other will contribute 40,000 Canglan?"
"As long as you pay, the combat readiness center will deliver it to us as soon as possible!" Yi Zhou saw Liu Xu's expression obviously becoming very ugly, and immediately whispered, "Brother, I know you are definitely not willing to pay. But We only have one life. It’s our first time on the battlefield as newcomers. If we don’t have the protection of these high-level authors, don’t deliberately trick you. As long as they ignore you, you will fall into a huge crisis.”
"Although Canglan is good, your life is more important. You won't be reluctant to give up this little money, right?" Yi Zhou said.
"Of course I won't be reluctant to give up this little money!" Liu Xu said lightly, "But the problem is, I am an orphan and grew up on the subsidy issued by the Writers Association. I have just graduated and all my assets add up to less than 2,000 yuan. Canglan, where can I get you 40,000 Canglan?"
"Well, I can see that!" Yi Zhou looked at the empty backpack behind Liu Xu and said after hesitating for a while, "How about I help you get out first this time? Then you can make money and then use this 40,000 yuan Give it back to me Lan!"
"Okay!" Liu Xu said immediately. Liu Xu was also afraid of death, and what Yi Zhou said made sense. In the end, he didn't have to pay for it, wouldn't it be nice?
As for the issue of repaying the money in the future, if I get rich in the future, then 40,000 Canglan will be nothing. But if you are still poor in the future, then you have no money!
After getting Liu Xu's promise, Yi Zhou placed the order directly on the purchasing machine and made the payment in one go, without blinking an eye.
You know, the purchasing power of Canglan in this world is equivalent to about three times that of RMB on earth.
In other words, 80,000 Canglan is actually equivalent to the purchasing power of about 240,000 RMB. This Yi Zhou spent 240,000 yuan without blinking an eye, of which 120,000 yuan was lent to Liu Xu. This is indeed a bit heroic.
Even the two signed authors who were watching silently looked at Yi Zhou in surprise, with a bit of a smile on their originally stern faces.
A few minutes later, the staff in the assembly hall delivered the supplies Yi Zhou purchased. At this time, there was less than 2 minutes left before the scheduled assembly time of 6 o'clock.
"Our other teammates are really arrogant. They can't even do this. Are you waiting for punishment from the Writers Association?" Liangyu Banxia said angrily, and then the door was opened, revealing a slightly short stature, but there was oppression all over his body. A sexy man walked in.
Behind this man were three people, obviously the other three teammates.
"Since everyone is here, come with me!" the imposing man said.
"Leaving now? Shouldn't we get familiar with each other? Arrange tactics and understand the details of the mission?" Liangyu Banxia couldn't help but say.
"Time is tight. It's at least two and a half hours' drive from here to the mission location. There's plenty of time to talk about these things in the car!" The other party said expressionlessly, and then left directly. The other three people also left with him. Liangyu Banxia hesitated for a while, then followed him angrily, while mumbling something in his mouth.
The two newbies, Yi Zhou and Liu Xu, naturally had nothing to say, so they followed obediently.
For this operation, the Writers Association was very considerate in equipping a large armed off-road vehicle and an experienced driver with various scars on his body. Apparently he often traveled to various battlefields with a team of contracted writers. Up.
Soon, the off-road vehicle left the assembly hall. After passing the inspection at the gate, it quickly left the city and entered the endless wilderness.
This is the first time Liu Xu has seen the world outside the city since he came to this world.
In other words, even the original Liu Xu saw the world outside the city for the first time.
After all, it is very dangerous outside the city. World reflections may occur anytime and anywhere. Occasionally, there will be some wandering fish that slipped through the net during the previous cleanup. Once encountered, ordinary people will have no choice but to die.
Therefore, there are almost no towns and villages outside the city. It is said that the last village in the world that stubbornly adhered to the village tradition also completely died out 120 years ago.
Of course, there are still humans outside, and they all live in temporary settlements.
Each temporary settlement has a contracted author stationed at the site to provide security, and the daily work of humans living in these temporary settlements is to develop a variety of resources, and most importantly, engage in agricultural production to satisfy an entire city. Human beings eat, drink, and have diarrhea.
Because the further away from the city, the higher the chance of encountering wandering reflecting spirits. Therefore, after leaving the city wall, you can see endless farmland, all of which expands outward from the city.
Naturally, this design makes it easier for a large number of contracted authors to rush out to rescue people in the event of an attack.
After the off-road vehicle drove out for about 10 minutes, there were fewer and fewer crops and resource buildings, replaced by a barren land.
It is said that these lands were populated by towns and villages 300 years ago, but as the world began to shine, each one became a no-man's land.
Most of it is obscured by lush vegetation, but traces of past human activities can still be seen through the vegetation.
Fortunately, the road out there is always maintained, otherwise it would be difficult for even off-road vehicles to move at high speed in such a place.
"Okay, let me introduce myself. My pen name is Zhang Yeyucan. I am a third-level author. I am also your captain this time. I am also the captain of the acid rain team. I haven't brought a stranger with me in a few years. I hope there is someone among you. You are qualified to join our acid rain team!" The guy who had always been very cold finally said.
