King of Black Mist

"The sand is so hot from the sun... Would it be better to walk on your toes to reduce contact with the sand?"

"Walking will be more tiring that way."

The voices of the two girls, one is like early summer, lively and comfortable; the other is like spring breeze, light and sweet.

Zheng Qing opened her eyes and found herself lying on the back of the man just now.

"You guys, saved me." She said in a hoarse voice, finding that she was still in good spirits.

"Are you awake?" Li Qianxia turned to look over.

Li Changzhou said: "Thanks to our captain, although he is ruthless, he likes humanity. By the way, remember to pay back the medical supplies. How much is it?"

The last sentence is to ask Yang Qinglan.

"30 coins."

"Okay." Zheng Qing seemed not to notice the joke, "Not only will you pay it back, I will also report it to the country and give you extra rewards."

"Are you threatening us?" Yang Qinglan looked at her.

"No." Zheng Qing replied, "I am inviting you. As long as you join the officialdom, the government can send people to protect your families. In this way, even if you are exposed and become enemies with other strugglers, you don't have to worry about affecting your family. At least. No more worried than I am now.”

The three of them said nothing and walked with heavy steps.

Zheng Qing did not urge her, but instead reminded:

"When walking in the desert, the most important thing is the temperature of your head. You can make a headscarf out of white fabric, like the women in Saudi Arabia."

Yang Qinglan followed his example and used a dagger to cut off the hem of Li Qianxia's dress around Li Changzhou's waist, and each of them divided a piece of the fabric.

Li Changzhou carried Zheng Qing on his back and Li Qianxia wrapped him up.

"You're not allowed to smell it."

"Don't worry, I'm also afraid of the smell."

Li Qianxia kicked him.

Yang Qinglan simply covered Zheng Qing's head.

"Actually, the effect of wetting is better, but you probably don't have water, and you don't want to use urine." With the cover, Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't blow the hot air on my back!" It's not that Li Changzhou is disgusting. He doesn't have the time to think about whether it's disgusting or not. He's disgusted by the heat.

The scarf wrapped around his head was immediately wet with sweat.

From time to time they climbed up the sand ridge, looking for any shade around them.

Finally, in the endless desert with rolling sand dunes, they found a straight rock. The shadow cast by the rock tempted them like a spring.

Zheng Qing was about to give a warning when she heard Yang Qinglan say to the other two people: "Be careful, there may be traps in shady places."

"Xiaoqing, King of Black Mist, wait for me here. I'm fast. I'll go check out the situation first." Li Qianxia volunteered.

"Okay, be safe."

"I am not the King of Black Mist, I am Cat Head."

Li Qianxia had already rushed out. It didn't look like she was going to investigate the situation, but she could not wait to get into the shade to rest.

"Coincidentally, my code name is 'Cat Head' and the missing teammate is 'Cat Tail'." Zheng Qing said.

".I'm not a cat head either."

"Be careful!" Yang Qinglan showed slight impatience, his eyes fixed on Li Qianxia, ​​ready to "pull" her away at any time.

Li Changzhou released Zheng Qing's legs with both hands and picked up the AK with both hands.

Zheng Qing fell onto the sand, which was hot and felt no pain. In addition to her 10% pain immunity, it was also because the sand was loose and soft enough.

She also narrowed her eyes and stared at the shade.

Li Qianxia, ​​who was holding a steel gun, carefully turned around in the shade and waved to this side.

Li Changzhou carried Zheng Qing on his back again.

Yang Qinglan walked cautiously at the back.

"Five minutes of rest," she said after sitting down in the shade. "We have to find water."

No one spoke, everyone was exhausted, taking off their headscarves and wiping sweat.

Li Changzhou's physical fitness was 6 points, but he was exhausted from carrying a person on his back and an AK weighing 4 or 5 kilograms.

The most energetic person at this time was Zheng Qing.

She observed the three people carefully.

He looks very young, probably a college student, but he cooperates well, is careful in doing things, and is very capable.

She, a professionally trained warrior, was no match for them. Times had really changed.

"How many times have you participated?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but ask.

"Before I answer your question, you first answer our question," Yang Qinglan said. "With the government's capabilities, why are you a team of two?"

"It's two people and a police dog, and the police dog's name is 'Storm'." After some stubborn explanation, Zheng Qing answered her question, "Only three tickets can be purchased for one trip on the same bus."

"Does dogs also have to pay for tickets?" Li Qianxia asked curiously.

"I've already answered, it's your turn."

"Three times." Yang Qinglan spoke concisely and concisely, never revealing unnecessary information.

"Three times? You participated three times in one week?"

"Just like Pinxixi's tens of billions of subsidies, coupons from food delivery platforms, capital spending, we use our lives to occupy the early market." Li Qianxia said as if he came up with this statement on his own.

Zheng Qing looked at her in surprise.

It’s only been a week since the Value Game started, but the country has already invested a lot of manpower and material resources. Every time a conference is held, the chief sitting at the top will say:

"Comrades, the sacrifices made in the early stage are necessary and necessary. Everything is for the future of Daxia."

This is exactly what the girl in front of me said.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, although there was a saying that college students knew astronomy and geography, Zheng Qing knew that many college students in modern times were so drunk that the physical tests of one thousand meters and eight hundred meters were enough to make them turn pale from nervousness.

But these three college students actually had the idea of ​​"devoting their lives to establish an early advantage", which can be called a strategic idea.

"Okay, I've answered you too. It's your turn to answer me. Do dogs also need to swipe their ID cards?" Li Qianxia had curiosity written all over her face.

Zheng Qing recovered a little and answered her: "Any player who is a value game has an ID card, but animals can take the bus or enter through sleep."

After saying that, she tried to win over the three of them.

"In addition to protecting your family, the official also has a lot of information, including whether the new bus lines are useful, the terrain, skills and equipment of each arena, etc. As long as you join, this information can be disclosed to you."

Li Qianxia looked at her brother and Yang Qinglan.

"What do you think?" Yang Qinglan asked Li Changzhou.

Li Changzhou pondered and said: "She saw our faces, and we can't kill her. I'm afraid it won't work if we want to be the same as before. But there is an advantage, that is, we don't have to hide it so hard."

"You mean to join?" Yang Qinglan confirmed.

"But joining the officialdom doesn't conform to your concept of 'survival is the main thing', right?" Li Changzhou said with a smile.

Officials always have to do tasks that ordinary people don't want to do, or are extremely dangerous or even fatal.

"Chief Zheng"

"Just call me Zheng Qing." Zheng Qing has never been called chief before, and she feels a little scared and a little afraid.

"Officer Zheng," Li Changzhou said, "We will not join, but we can cooperate."

"cooperate?"

"Well, cooperation. In the value game, we try to cooperate with official people; in the real world, we do not do evil. On this basis, we carry out other cooperation, such as the exchange of intelligence, the purchase and sale of equipment, etc."

Zheng Qing thought for a while.

"It needs to be decided by superiors. I will try my best to speak for you." She said, "But please rest assured that no matter what, the state will never force you. I can guarantee your character."

"Thank you. You can convey it to us properly. We are all good citizens."

"Good people." Zheng Qing reluctantly nodded.

Don't you seem to agree?

Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan: "How is it?"

"Well, I have the same idea." Yang Qinglan said.

"This is not that, then, what is that? There is a clear connection between the two minds."

"Heroes see the same thing." Yang Qinglan changed his words with a smile.

"Yes, heroes see the same thing." Li Changzhou nodded. At this moment, he suddenly understood what Zheng Qing felt when he nodded in recognition of 'good people'.

There is really no end to learning in life.

Li Qianxia was laughing and giggling.

Zheng Qing glanced at Li Changzhou, and then turned her eyes to Yang Qinglan. This girl was indeed beautiful. Even the beads of sweat flowing on her skin exuded a pearl-like luster.

"Let's go." Five minutes later, Yang Qinglan got up first.

After wrapping his scarf around again, Li Changzhou carried Zheng Qing on his back, and the group walked into the heat wave with reluctant steps.
