Chapter 10 Training Essential Skills and Discoveries
Once, Tao E had an opportunity to complete a task, but he didn't cherish it.
Until I lost it...oh, actually I didn't lose it.
That's okay.
"Well, it feels a bit strange to just carry me over the mountain," Tao E said.
"It's okay to carry it."
"Well, it's not the method. It's just that I didn't expect that you can do nothing and win." Tao E said, "There is also this way to leave and complete the task."
"I originally wanted to say that, but it's better now." Xia Yanzhen said, "Do we have a chance to practice marksmanship?"
Although I just disliked the use of guns, which man would refuse to shoot?
Not to mention, if you will continue to enter such a "Dream Dungeon" in the future, skills such as shooting and driving are absolutely necessary.
You don’t need to use it at ordinary times, but you must use it when needed.
Why not take advantage of this time to practice? Li Yuan and the others need Xia Yanzhen's ability to ignore ghosts and break through walls. They shouldn't refuse such a small request, right?
"Then shall we go now?" Tao E also wanted to shoot.
"Let's go." Xia Yanzhen stood up.
The two found a soldier and explained their purpose to him.
The man did not refuse and took the two of them to the shooting range of the institute.
The institute has many laboratories, each of which is equipped with a security team and is fully equipped.
A shooting range has also been established, and shooting training is conducted from time to time.
At its peak, there were more than sixty armed soldiers, but now there are only eight of them, and the firearms and bullets are sufficient.
You can give Xia Yanzhen and Tao E some marksmanship skills.
The soldier didn't have too strict requirements, but just taught them basic operations and some essentials.
Xia Yanzhen learned very quickly.
After you get a little familiar with it, you will gradually be able to hit the target.
Tao E had to be slower. His hands were not as steady as Xia Yanzhen's.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
Whoever shoots better in the end cannot be determined simply by whether his hands are steady or not.
The two of them didn't expect to become any sharpshooters in a few days. They at least had some knowledge of firearms and could use them to their full potential, not just burning fire sticks.
After practicing until night, Xia Yanzhen and Tao E came to the conclusion that compared with rifles, pistols are rubbish.
Then the two of them each brought a pistol back for self-defense.
Back at his residence, Tao E asked: "Xiaoxia, you...are a high school student, right? Are you eighteen yet?"
When he looked at Xia Yanzhen, he looked more like a student at the beginning, and he couldn't drive, so he might be a high school student.
"No, seventeen." Xia Yanzhen told the truth.
He won't really come of age until next year.
"Hmm..." Tao E pondered for a moment, "Should we leave a contact information so that we can contact you easily when we get back? We will all carry out tasks together in the future, and we can take care of any problems in real life."
"Oh, okay." Xia Yan really didn't have any objections.
The two exchanged numbers and could contact each other after returning home.
"Xiaoxia, have you ever encountered anything unusual in the real world?" Tao E asked.
"What's unusual?" Xia Yan was really confused.
Apart from some abnormalities in his own body, the biggest abnormality he has ever encountered is these "dream copies".
"It's the kind of strange thing that is difficult to explain with modern science." Tao E said.
He once encountered an unusual event.
The impact on Tao E was quite big. He was a successful businessman with a lot of business, and he was different from some more superstitious businessmen.
Tao E didn't believe in any Feng Shui, masters, praying to gods or Buddhas, or even praying for a lucky draw.
If it's a director, he's someone who doesn't even put on a pig's head when the crew starts filming.
But that weird incident really broke his previous understanding, and not long after that, Tao E faced his first "nightmare".
After the nightmare, Tao E, who survived, began to spend time and money investigating.
After discovering some scammers, I found out that there are definitely some anomalies in reality - it may be people or things.
Later, Tao E himself met him again.
Substitutes are attracted to each other, and so are extraordinary, abnormal, and weird things.
Tao E extremely doubted that people like them would not only encounter danger in these nightmares, but also would not be able to sit back and relax in the real world.
We are all teammates and get along happily.
In addition to tasks, if you encounter difficulties in the real world, you can also help each other.
It can be regarded as the basic process of developing from "online" to offline.
Of course, if you are tired of looking at each other, you will definitely want to hide all your information.
It is even possible to kill each other.
Teammates are never natural comrades-in-arms. When they are exhausted, strangers become colleagues and classmates.
Whether you can get along well depends on the person and the situation.
Tao E and Xia Yan are really happy with each other and feel that they can develop offline.
"I really haven't met him before." After listening to Tao E's brief description, Xia Yan recalled it carefully to make sure he didn't.
There are indeed major changes in life, but what does that have to do with abnormalities?
This day was spent quite "quietly".
In the afternoon, Xia Yanzhen and the two met some survivors in the research institute.
At night, all the survivors returned to their rooms and were beaten to death without leaving the house.
Li Principle will lead people to drive and patrol within a certain area of Shuiyuan Town to look for survivors.
In most cases, the black-haired monster will only appear late at night after three o'clock. Before three o'clock, as long as it does not shout loudly with a loudspeaker.
There is no danger in driving in Shuiyuan Town.
Anyway, that's what Li Yuan said.
He is busy every day, doing his best to maintain this surviving place, and has a high prestige in the eyes of everyone.
The life affairs of the survivors of the institute were basically taken care of by Li Yuan and his eight armed soldiers.
Li Yuan will even help them find relatives and friends.
The survivors just need to stay in the institute and don't cause trouble.
Now Li Yuan had the same request for Tao E and Xia Yanzhen. He said that he was looking for some clues and hoped that Xia Yanzhen and Tao E could stay for a day or two.
When something is really gained, everyone will work together to leave Shuiyuan Town together.
If it fails, Li Yuan will not restrain the two of them.
Shuiyuan Town is so "big" that the two of them can go there, as long as they don't deliberately lure the black-haired monsters all over the ground to this survivor base.
These actions were the sincerity Li Yuan showed to Xia Yanzhen and Tao E.
Don't ask about the origin, just ask about the purpose.
If everyone has the same purpose, they can cooperate. If cooperation fails, it will be easy to get together and disperse easily.
In today's environment, there is no need for internal friction.
Two days passed like this.
Xia Yanzhen and Tao E both believed that it was better to be still than to move, so they concentrated on improving their "skills" during the past two days.
In addition to learning shooting, Xia Yanzhen also learned to drive under Tao E's guidance.
After rushing to the green belt of the institute several times, he barely learned to drive. His talent in driving was lower than that in shooting, but it was enough.
As night fell, Tao E and Xia Yanzhen were chatting in the room. They found that they were both from Zhengguo and Haizhou, and they could meet each other within a few hours by train.
At this time, the doorbell of the room rang.
Tao E walked over and opened the door. Outside the door was Li Yuan, who he had been seeing in a hurry for the past two days.
One person, followed by Sen Luo's armed soldiers.
"We've gained something. Maybe we can find a way to break through the ghost wall and leave this ghost place!" Li Yuan said excitedly as soon as he came in.
"How to say?"
Tao E looked very calm.
With Xia Yanzhen here, he is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and can leave whenever he wants.
They also discussed with Xia Yanzhen that if there was no movement from Li Yuan's side for another two days, they would find a time to sneak away at night.
Why sneak away?
Although Li Yuan said that everyone would have a good time together, who knows if he will change his mind when the time comes?
Xia Yan can really ignore ghosts and hit the wall.
In a different place, Tao E is Li Yuan, and he will not let them leave easily.
Defenses can not do without.
"I finally cracked the No. 1 Research Laboratory and found a researcher's video log. Take a look." Li Yuan waved the tablet in his hand.
"Ah?" Tao E didn't know why.
"Does this have anything to do with us leaving Shuiyuan Town?" Xia Yanzhen asked directly.
"Look and tell."
Li Yuan connected the tablet to the projector in the room and opened a file.
There are more than a dozen video files inside.
After opening the first one, what appears on the screen is not that clean, high-end, and very technological laboratory scene.
It was taken outdoors.
A man wearing a safety helmet, who looked more like a civil engineer, said to the camera: "March 15th, the weather is sunny, it is now - one o'clock in the afternoon, and the excavation work is in progress..."
"The First Research Laboratory is mainly responsible for geological exploration work." Li Yuan explained, "Before the incident happened, they were digging in Shuiyuan Town and seemed to have discovered something. They also asked other research laboratories to participate."
"You don't have one?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"My research project was at a critical juncture at that time, so I didn't join it for the time being," Li Yuan said. "Then something happened."
Tao E asked: "So you suspect that the anomalies in Shuiyuan Town and that those monsters are related to the excavation?"
What kind of monster was accidentally dug up underground, causing all kinds of accidents?
It's an old trick to commit suicide. Tao E said that he has watched no less than ten related movies.
"It's not doubt, it's certainty." Li Yuan said.
In the video, the civil engineering guy is still introducing or recording today's excavation work.
Use the video as a work diary or something like that.
There was no important information, so Li Yuan pressed the accelerator button.
It wasn't until the last few minutes that another person came over and expressed his excitement that he had discovered something.
The old man went over immediately and didn't forget to take pictures.
Unfortunately, this discovery was not about digging something, but the detection of some soil that was completely different from the surrounding soil.
"Is there any point?"
Xia Yanzhen asked. Rather than watching these scientific research videos, he wanted to see the key points first.
What exactly did these people dig up that turned Shuiyuan Town into a desert filled with corpses, or black-haired monsters?
