The not-so-bright sun gradually rose, but the blood-red Gobi remained unchanged.

In the end, Shi Yuchuan didn't get any useful information from the co-pilot's kid.

These red sands seem to have some power, which can make everyone who enters the desert feel depressed.

At 11:30, Shi Da stopped the car and called several people to take out a black cloth from the trunk to cover the car to avoid the scorching sun.

One hour break at noon.

"It's going to be hot in a while, the car is too stuffy, get down and rest." Shi Da took out a folding shed from the trunk of the front car, and quickly set it up.

After a while, this small folding shed for six people to rest was set up.

It's a pity that the crowd didn't seem to buy it. After receiving their respective lunches, a bun and a bottle of water from Shi Da, they returned to the dreary car covered in black cloth.

Only Shi Yuchuan and Shi Da were left under the shed.

Seeing Shi Da's puzzled face, Shi Yuchuan thought that the other party also felt that something was wrong with other people, but after the other party spoke, it was his turn to be confused.

"Why are you still here?" Shi Da was a little shocked.

"……Um?"

"Cough...well, that's not what I meant." Only then did Shi Da realize that his words were ambiguous, and he slowly explained to Shi Yuchuan why he asked such a question.

The disinfecting team has more than one captain.

"Now there are seven people in total, and each of us is responsible for one day."

"However, most of the team members are newcomers... because this job, uh, consumes a lot of energy, so the team members are relatively sufficient."

This makes sense why Shi Da is very proficient in taking isolation protective clothing, finding car keys, and even entering the Gobi.

Compared with the members of the disinfecting team, Shi Yuchuan wanted to know more about other things.

"What is our real purpose?"

Shi Da's answer was a little uncertain: "Kill those red-skinned monsters? Recover the vehicles? Burn the corpses?"

Shi Yuchuan sneered, "Kill? With what? A fruit knife?" He didn't expect the other party to dare to say that.

"Alas... Actually, it's very difficult to meet, we will go back before midnight." Shi Da sighed, without elaborating.

"Why do even teenage children appear in this kind of team?"

"...He must have been unlucky. The members of the disinfecting team are selected from the two grades of EF, but I don't know the evaluation criteria... In short, if your grade is E or F, when will you be selected? It’s not surprising that it’s arranged here.”

It's noon.

The sunlight surged again, and the temperature rose rapidly along with it.

The two sat in the shadows, with two off-road vehicles wrapped in black cloth in front and behind, and an awkward and depressing atmosphere spread from the two of them.

"I go back first."

Shi Yuchuan stood up and saw that there were still a few breads on the table. He took three and took a bottle of water from Shi Da's side, and walked back to the car under the scorching sun while the other side was stunned.

Although the atmosphere in the car was not that great, it was still much more comfortable than Shi Da who seemed to know something and didn't say anything.

"His-"

The moment he opened the car door, the part of the car door exposed to sunlight, the red skin began to rot and bubble, giving off a burnt smell.

Shi Yuchuan quickly closed the car door, but the scorched area did not get better, it was just that there was no more smoke.

At 12:30, everyone removed the black cloth, and the off-road vehicle started on the road again.

……

It was another boring and distracting journey, and Chi Yingyi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, became even more sluggish, curled up in the seat with her knees hugged.

Shi Yuchuan wanted the system to help him find out how to coax the child, but belatedly remembered that the system had been sealed.

Finally, he glanced at the young man's thin body, and threw the bun in front of the windshield again. In his eyes, teenage boys are just growing up, and it's not enough to eat only one bread at noon.

"Eat." Concise and clear.

Chi Yingyi was stunned holding the bread, he didn't expect that he could get a double lunch, but he didn't eat breakfast at all, and the bread just now was really not enough.

The free lunch is not free, not to mention that he hasn't eaten such a delicious thing for a long time, so thinking about it, he unpacked it and sat down to eat it.

The combination of sweet red bean paste and the unique aroma of toasted bread not only soothes the stomach but also eases the atmosphere in the car.

Seeing that Chi Yingyi ate the bread to the last mouthful and drank half a bottle of mineral water, Shi Yuchuan opened his mouth.

"Isn't the welfare in Sunshine City very good? Why don't you look like you haven't had enough to eat?" Even foreigners like them can get 20 yuan of start-up capital on the first day, and the price of the roadside stalls is not expensive. , enough for an ok dinner.

If you are so generous to outsiders, there is no reason to treat people in the city so badly, especially as future teenagers.

Probably because of his short-spokenness, Chi Yingyi didn't keep his mouth shut like before, and he hesitated to talk about him.

All children in Sunshine City will be managed uniformly after they are born.

From hospitals to kindergartens to elementary schools, there are dedicated personnel in charge of everything.

They went to kindergarten at the age of 3, and went to elementary school at the age of 6. They were only brought back by their parents when they were in junior high school at the age of 12. At that time, the children had already been rated.

"I was an orphan, and when I graduated from primary school, I was told that my parents were gone."

No one picked him up at the school gate, and he waited until sunset before being sent to a closed school with the other orphans.

Shi Yuchuan didn't answer, and listened to the other party talking about his past.

"Actually, my previous grade was not E, but my previous grade was A! At that time, I was looking forward to graduating every day, imagining what my parents would look like."

"Later, when I entered junior high school, my overall rating dropped."

Will the rating drop?

Why?What is the standard?

It's a pity that Chi Yingyi himself didn't know why the rating dropped, and he jumped directly from A-level to E-level.

As he spoke, he felt sad emotions choked his throat, making him unable to speak out again, and retracted into the seat again after drinking two sips of water.

After a long while, Shi Yuchuan heard the boy muffled again.

"Aren't you eating?" Chi Yingyi rubbed his stomach, feeling guilty for having eaten someone else's lunch.

Shi Yuchuan shook his head, he didn't need to eat.

"It's delicious, stuffed with red bean paste." The boy persevered.

After getting no response, he asked again.

"Do you want to read a magazine?"

Chi Yingyi took out a few coloring page magazines from the bag under her feet.

"I saw it when I got in the car."

Shi Yuchuan did not expect that a piece of bread could make the autistic and irritable boy in the city normal. He took a magazine with "Introduction to Excellent People in Sunlight City" printed on it with one hand and put it aside. .

After the boy was full, he talked more and asked more questions

"Have you always talked so little?" Chi Yingyi asked.

"Huh?" Talk less?

Shi Yuchuan glanced at Chi Yingyi from the corner of his eye, with puzzlement in his eyes.

"Hmm... that's the kind? Alienation?" The young man continued.

"Lonely, no friends."

"Like the negative teaching materials in textbooks, the lonely old man who didn't work hard and died at home without anyone noticing."

"..."

This is the first time someone dared to say that, Shi Yuchuan was a little at a loss, he didn't expect that he would get the setting of a widowed old man with no friends.

Feeling apart……

friend?Lonely?

But when the other party said this, he also realized that since Bai Yan was sealed, there was no system to talk to him, he was indeed silent a lot, and the things that could be solved by hands basically did not rely on communication.

Before, Shi Yuchuan had always blamed this dungeon for affecting people's minds.

"My friend, with me." In the coffin in the back seat.

Since entering the game, besides the system, he also has Bai Yan and E Gu, befriended the socially aggressive Xing Jia, made a deal with the Lord of the Tower of Babel, and even the talkative and dishy Fan Zhouhe had already entered the game. He also doesn't dislike Yu Yunhuan in the stage of rapid growth.

"Although I'm going through some not very wonderful things..." Even Wuwang City is not completely safe, and people die every day in the dungeon.

"But the situation will never get worse." He had already lost his life, and he didn't know what would happen if his body was destroyed.

disappear?Probably turned into a speck of dust...

Chi Yingyi shook her head and interrupted Shi Yuchuan who was thinking loudly.

"No, you are different from us."

"But we all have a purpose and you don't."

Shi Yuchuan didn't know how to explain.

He really has no goal, or rather, there is no goal in this dungeon.

The last target was still in the Disaster Bldg. He made an agreement with Bai Yan to bring out this person, and he did it. He made arrangements from the moment he entered, and finally succeeded in bringing him out.

The next goal is to find more world fragments to restore Baiyan's body, at least release him from the black coffin first, or find 'Under the Abyss'.

And this dungeon came suddenly, and after a long journey into Sunlight City, there was no news about the rules and world fragments.

He caressed his heart-stopping chest, and he didn't know why he was obsessed with helping Bai Yan.

He will not die, his heart will not move, and he has no desire to live. Even if he is targeted by the dungeon to work for 22 hours, it is not difficult for him, but it will be a little annoying.

To him, Baiyan is more like a different person, a kind of person who is as alien to this world as he is.

So he tried to set a goal for himself, a motivation to move forward in the dungeon, a reason for the dead creature to pretend that he was still alive.

"I have a goal, but it's not here."

……

The journey continues.

After driving until three o'clock in the afternoon, they encountered the first mission target, a recoverable vehicle.

The red off-road vehicle, the red skin of the whole body was burned by the sun a lot, and half of the body was buried in the red sand, forming the shape of a small sand dune.

Shi Da installed the tow hook and pulled out the half-buried car with great experience.

He took out another white device from the cab and stuck it on the body.

"Shh-"

The solar panel on the roof of the recovery vehicle is turned on and starts charging mode.

"Great, today's share is done!" Shi Da's mood eased a little, he turned around the scarf that was somewhat strangling, and looked into the car.

Except for Shi Yuchuan who got out of the car to help, the other four sat in the car like corpses, motionless.

He opened the trunk and took out two shovels, and threw one to Shi Yuchuan.

"You dig with me."

Unexpectedly, six people arrived, and only two of them were working. Shi Yuchuan took the co-pilot Chi Yingyi down with a shovel.

Young children need a balance between work and rest.

……

In this way, the three people started digging in a vast red.

Fortunately, they were lucky, and they dug up today's second target after an hour.

The bodies of dead teammates.

The location was just around the sand dunes where the truck had just been towed. Three corpses that had been buried in the sand and began to dry and weathered appeared in front of several people.

The skin of each corpse was wrinkled, looking like a crumpled rag growing on the body, and red sand covered their entire body.

Most importantly, these corpses have no heads.

It was empty above the neck, and the neck should have been severed by some blunt instrument, and the ubiquitous fine sand filled the gaps in the cut surface of the corpse, and now it should have fallen down the intestines into the stomach.

During the excavation, Shi Yuchuan also found a male corpse with a red afterbirth pattern printed on the back of his hand, which was the last batch of players who failed to leave.

Chi Yingyi threw the shovel away, regardless of fear, and lay down on the sand beside him exhausted.

Shi Yuchuan watched as Shi Da sweated profusely and took out diesel from the trunk, poured it on the corpse, and lit it with a match.

The raging fire was burning, and the half-dry corpses that were burned gave off bursts of strange fragrance.

"Don't you need to find the head?" he asked.

Shi Da replied easily: "No need, just burn the body."

He looked at the sky with a strange expression on his face.

"Let's camp here and have dinner, and then we'll be on our way."

Except for Shi Yuchuan, no one made any suggestions, and even ignored them.

It was only past four o'clock, and Shi Yuchuan didn't understand why Shi Da had to set up camp again.

And if dinner is just bread and mineral water, there is no need to camp extra, it can be done in the car.

But what Shi Da said was very firm, and he had already started to build the shed with his hands and feet, directly ignoring Shi Yuchuan's doubts, and his face turned a little red.

Unlike the last time, after he finished building the shed, the people in the car, including Chi Yingyi, all sat down honestly. Except for Shi Yuchuan and Shi Da, the rest of the people put on protective clothing.

Everyone started to eat today's dinner almost by relying on the cremated corpse.

Shi Yuchuan only felt that the scent made him feel tired after a long absence, he said hello, went to check around and lost a few trigger alarms, and returned to the car alone.

There might be something wrong with Xiangxiang, but now the others can't listen to him at all. He tried to carry Chi Yingyi back to the car, but the child seemed determined and refused to return.

I am worried that the aroma will attract those red-skinned monsters. If any creature enters within 100 meters of them, the siren just placed can effectively serve as an early warning.

He doesn't like to force others, and the fragrance seems to be harmless to the human body, it only makes people feel relaxed, and his car is parked not far away, so at this moment, Shi Yuchuan still has some confidence that no matter what happens, he can Handle.

The closed car door separated the aroma of the burning corpse, and he felt a little more awake.

Supper is still in progress next to the cremation place.

Everyone ate the meal devoutly, as if it was the last meal in their lives...

Finally, everyone finished eating.

They began to sit quietly in a daze.

Shi Yuchuan glanced sideways, feeling that the scene was very strange, but the constant sleepiness made him squint his eyes and plan to take a nap.

……

[Humans, wake up. ]

[I think you probably need to take a look. ]

Egu's confused voice awakened Shi Yuchuan.

When he opened his eyes again, he wondered if he had entered a hallucination.

Through the windshield, the flames of burning corpses were still burning outside. Three fresh headless corpses fell on the ground. The man's neck was covered in scars, obviously not the first time.

Chi Yingyi was not seen.

The moment he opened the car door, he froze in place.

Beside the car door, a headless boy was lying on the ground, his neck was still bleeding, apparently he had just died.

He held a knife in one hand, and in the other a white sheet of bread wrapped in a piece of paper.

Shi Yuchuan picked up the paper and looked at the words written in blood on it.

(Thank you for the bread.)

He silently folded the paper and put it in his pocket.

This young man who had known each other for less than 24 hours, who would open his heart because of a piece of bread and never forget it, just died in front of him.

Shi Yuchuan felt that he might have a new goal for a short time.

The author has something to say:
