040. Not suitable for travel

The basic Silence Points of 4,500 are normal. If the degree of completion is slightly higher, it is normal to go up to 5,000. Including the rewards for subsequent career development tasks, Lu Tan’s savings will soon exceed 10,000, which can be given to himself.

[Last words] Let’s summarize it.

As for why I chose the essence [Last Word] instead of buying more crowbars to protect myself, it is of course because [Last Word] is an [inherent] level prop.

What is the other [inherent] level? It is a [desperate roll] dice, a wonderful prop that can produce effects even when Lu Jian faces a great existence, allowing him to survive.

Although [Last Words] is currently just a repeater, Lu Jian believes that it can be refined into something more powerful in the future.

Moreover, today's young people always think about consumption, but they don't understand the value of saving money and saving at all, and have lost the traditional spirit. Lu Jian was very sad and decided to set an example.

In fact, the main reason is that Lu Tan cannot afford those useful things.

After he chose the [Erosion] difficulty, the small hole expanded and became like a cat's eye door.

Lu Tan glanced inside, and saw it was pitch black.

Suddenly, in the darkness, an eye suddenly opened.

Those were not human eyes, but the vertical pupils of some kind of animal. They were dark yellow in color, stained with dirt, turbid and dim.

Around the eyes, a circle of words appears.

【Are you entering a quiet place? 】

【whether】

Lu Jian chose no.

He saw that the countdown outside was still continuing.

"It turns out that these two days are two days of selection and preparation."

Lu Tiao understood.

But he had nothing to prepare for.

The domestic security is so good, and it is too late to go abroad now. Lu Jian cannot get any guns and ammunition. He has no use for these hot weapons, and they are not as good as those purchased from [Silent Department Store].

As for those swords, guns, axes, axes, swords, halberds, hooks, barbecued pork cakes, fried dough sticks and twists, Lu Tan was not comfortable using them.

He went downstairs and went to the supermarket to buy some ribs, a portable pan, a portable camping lamp that could be used as a fire source, as well as the corresponding tools, side dishes, water, etc., and put them in his bag.

I also picked up a flashlight, power bank, compressed dry food, etc.

After tidying up, it was already evening.

Lu Tan sent a WeChat message to Qin Tiantian, saying that he was going to go out to collect materials for a few days. After thinking about it, he sent another message to the old squad leader Feng Yu.

In this world, Lu Jian really doesn't have anyone close to him.

He put on his coat, put on his backpack, held a crowbar in his hand, and words appeared in his vision.

【Are you entering a quiet place? 】

【whether】

Lu Jian chose [Yes].

There was a burst of colors around him, colors that did not belong to this world surrounded him.

Lu Tan felt that the weight of his body had reached his head, and then quickly transferred to his stomach.

He saw that those unnamed colors formed several paragraphs of text.

[The flow rate of time in the Quiet Place is inconsistent with the outside world]

[The time ratio of this journey is: 3:1]

【Heading to the Abandoned Capital】

Just when Lu Tan was a little dizzy from these words, he felt something hard.

The first thing I felt was a dry and throat-rasping air.

Immediately, there was a giant steel object swaying beneath him.

Lu Tiao found that he was sitting in the last row of a bus.

The bus was not big, with less than twenty seats, and he was the only one in the last row.

The lights in the car were dimly lit, as if they would go out at any moment.

The seats are solid, aged wood.

The guardrail is rusted steel.

The windows are cracked glass.

Outside the window, there are endless ruins under the night.

Lu Jian saw that the ruins of unknown ages were intertwined to form a piece of text.

【Abandoned Capital】

[In the 20th year of the New Year, it is not suitable to travel]

[Prohibition did not completely eliminate crime, but it made gangs more powerful. In the abandoned city, gangs were the masters of the underground world. Killing, blood, and death turned the once city of hope into a city of sin]

[But there are still people who yearn for the abandoned capital and rush here from all over the world, praying to discover their own wealth]

【Everyone hopes to be the one in the story, right? 】

[Task requirement: Complete the journey to the abandoned city]

[Difficulty: Erosion]

"prohibition......"

Lu Jian didn't have much historical knowledge. He only knew that in the original world, around the 1920s and 1930s, a country had promulgated a ban on alcohol on the grounds that alcohol would cause crimes against women.

But in fact, after the promulgation, many people still make wine in the name of medicine, and all these wines flow into the underground market and are controlled by gangs, which indirectly contributes to the strength of gangs.

It now seems that the chaos in the abandoned capital, the prevalence of gangs, and Prohibition are also closely related.

Looking away from the window, Lu Jian looked inside the car.

The driver was a middle-aged bald man in his forties with a big belly.

In addition to Lu Jian, there were three other passengers in the car.

To the front left, in the second to last row, is a thin young man wearing a beret, huddled in the seat and shivering.

To the front right, in the third row from the bottom, is a middle-aged woman. She keeps glancing at the others, with both hands tucked into her pockets, looking extremely cautious.

Behind the driver's side is a tall man of 1.9 meters tall. He is wearing short clothes and has a scar on his head, which extends from Tianling Gai to his shoulder blade. It is shocking.

It seems that this is the companion this time?

Seeing that everyone else was silent, Lu Tiao could only move his position and got behind the trembling young man.

"Hello."

He spoke.

"Whoa!"

The young man screamed and almost jumped out of the window.

His reaction drew the others' attention, but only attention.

"Do, what?"

The young man spoke in the same language as Lu Jian, but his accent had a bit of a local accent, which was not very standard.

"Do you know how much longer it will be open?"

Seeing that there was no problem with communication, Lu Tiao asked directly.

"Tomorrow... at least until dawn, you can't see the houses in the abandoned capital..."

He seems submissive and not very smart.

"At least eight hours."

The tough guy sitting next to the driver answered.

"oh."

Lu Tiao nodded.

According to the time flow rate of 3:1, if he stayed here for eight hours, only more than two hours would pass in reality. If he was lucky, he could go back for a late-night snack.

He did not continue talking, but paid attention to the environment.

The ruins outside look like they have been abandoned for many years. They have been taken over by rainwater and vegetation, and the original architectural form cannot be distinguished.

Even this road, looking back, looked like it had been forcibly carved out of the remaining bricks and rubble.

There was no starlight or moonlight, and the whole world was dark. Only the front and rear lights of the bus illuminated the road a little.

Lu Tiao was about to look away when suddenly he saw something passing behind the bus and disappearing into the darkness of the ruins.

With just a glance, Lu Jian couldn't see its specific appearance, but he could vaguely tell that the thing had limbs, a body, a head, and the body was white.

Like a...person?
