Chapter 7 Arrival and completion of the first phase of the mission
"What the hell? Isn't it just a mirage again this time?"
Using his heavy legs filled with lead, Hu Biao once again climbed up a sand dune with a height of more than fifty meters and looked at a small oasis that appeared in the distance.
It wasn't like he had been given a shot of chicken blood, he started shouting excitedly.
Instead, he cursed in a very hesitant tone.
At this moment, in his head, the countdown to the 72-hour mission actually still had 6 hours and 47 minutes left, which was enough for him to reach the oasis at the junction of the desert and the Gobi, three kilometers ahead.
The problem is that just yesterday afternoon, Hu Biao encountered an almost identical situation.
When he saw a small town in the desert before his eyes, he immediately ran over with great joy.
The result? Only after we actually ran to the place did we realize that it was all an illusion, a legendary mirage.
Such an own incident not only exhausted almost all of Hu Biao's physical strength, but also had an astonishing psychological impact, which almost made him despair at the time.
It took almost a whole night for Hu Biao to recover part of his physical strength and barely adjust his mentality.
Yesterday's incident undoubtedly left a huge shadow in his heart. Now that the oasis representing hope appeared, he became a little suspicious.
But now Hu Biao, does he have other choices?
No more! The strong hunger in his stomach and the dehydration of his body made him know that he could not hold on for much longer or go far.
He could only go there and try his luck. If the oasis was real, then he would survive.
If it was still a mirage, then he would have to answer the question of a so-called simple task in a cheating system.
Thank God! Oasis is real.
As Hu Biao's staggering steps approached, everything in the oasis became clearer and more real.
He could see the Populus euphratica forest on the edge of the oasis, its branches swaying in the breeze; he could see some human beings wearing strange robes moving around in some shack-like buildings built with red willow branches.
Next to almost every shack, there is a pen-like place, with a small number of camels and horses inside, as well as a few sheep grazing.
The only thing that Hu Biao is paying attention to now is the small irregularly shaped lake with a radius of about one kilometer to the left of the center of the oasis.
After seeing the lake with ripples blown by the wind, Hu Biao could no longer tolerate anything else in his heart.
The only thought left in my mind was to rush over, rush over as fast as possible, and then plunge my head into the water like a thirsty animal, drinking water non-stop.
You must drink until you can no longer hold it in your stomach and belly until you vomit water when you burp.
Stimulated by water, the source of life, Hu Biao didn't know where the strength came from, and he rushed towards the oasis in a hurry, running madly all the way.
While running, he threw away the takeout box that was in the way, even the yellow helmet on his head, and the coat wrapped around his waist.
The purpose is to make myself run faster and drink water faster.
In this way, Hu Biao rushed into the oasis crazily, stepped on the relatively moist soil, and continued towards the lake.
It happened that at this moment, something happened that almost drove him crazy; amidst the loud sound of horse hooves, a man wearing a shiny robe was galloping towards here.
According to Hu Biao's judgment, the speed of that guy is at least 40 kilometers per hour.
Compared with the means of transportation in the modern plane, this speed is nothing; but compared with Hu Biao's current legs, it is not known how much faster it is.
Before there was any time to react, the seemingly tall war horse rushed to his side.
The moment he passed by, the man on the horse swung a scimitar with a scabbard in his hand and hit Hu Biao in the back of the head.
So, just a hundred steps away from the shore full of lake water, Hu Biao's head fainted and he threw himself forward.
At the moment when he passed out, Hu Biao's heart was filled with unspeakable resentment:
"You bastard, you really want to kill me, but you have to wait until I drink some water before you do it. What's going on?"
****
Hu Biao, who was knocked unconscious like a dead dog, did not know that in the following time, after the man jumped off the horse, it was like inspecting a large animal.
After pinching his arms and body muscles, and then opening his mouth to look at his teeth, a rather satisfied smile appeared on his face.
With such a smile, he first used brute force to pull off Hu Biao's sneakers.
After looking through Hu Biao's pocket, he found sand and Huazi cigarettes in it. Although he didn't know what they were, he still put them into his arms.
Later, while lifting Hu Biao and throwing him into a livestock pen, he did not forget to tie his hands with ropes.
Even the legs were tied tightly.
Hu Biao didn't even know that 20 minutes later at most, the warehouse manager with Wangcai and a dog would also start rushing towards the small lake.
Then, he received the same treatment as Hu Biao.
What made the warehouse manager even more angry was that before he was knocked unconscious, Bian Mu Wangcai, who had been with him for four days and three nights, had already developed a relationship. When he tried to save his master, he was stabbed to death on the ground.
And in the following time, it was like Calabash Baby saving grandpa.
Other netizens who have gone through countless hardships, these rookies who come from the peaceful environment of the modern plane, have no sense of crisis in their heads after seeing the lake and the people.
In other words, the system's statement that "this is a simple mission" successfully misled them.
In short, the indigenous people in this oasis fell into great happiness; they had the best slaves in their eyes, as well as dog meat that could be cooked for a pot, as well as useful and useless little things from these people.
.
It's like a gift arranged by God for them, constantly delivered to their door...
In the end, the 72-hour countdown in the heads of Hu Biao and others completely returned to zero while beating.
There were a total of 21 netizens. After successfully arriving at this oasis, none of them ran away. They were all knocked unconscious and locked in the same pen.
This is also the successful completion of the first phase of the mission for all members.
The others either died in the desert a long time ago, or because of the system's punishment mechanism, at this moment, there was a sudden "pop" sound, and juice splashed on their heads like a watermelon being smashed.
Hu Biao and the other 21 people who were knocked unconscious were awakened at this moment.
Because after a lapse of 72 hours, the old-fashioned typing sound of a self-proclaimed system rang in their ears again.
Among them, the subtitles that Hu Biao saw in a daze were:
"Congratulations to the trialist Hu Biao for successfully completing the first phase of the mission; please wait patiently, the second phase of the mission will be released at the appropriate time.
Relevant rewards will be distributed uniformly after the task is completed.
Congratulations to Mr. Hu Biao, who was the first among all the trial personnel to arrive at the oasis; the hidden mission was completed, and he won the permission of the trainee commander.
In future missions and in real society, this authority can command and manage other trial personnel, be responsible for the distribution of rewards, etc.; for more content, please explore by yourself in subsequent missions."
"Commander, or a trainee?
According to what the system says, wouldn’t it be possible for me to arrange for other people to come into the factory to drill screws and help with express delivery? There will be no problem with that~”
Finally, when Hu Biao opened his eyes, he saw a group of gray-headed men dressed in beggar's attire.
Suddenly, a bold idea arose in his mind; with such an outrageous idea, Hu Biao slowly opened his eyes.
It has to be said that under the continuous stimulation, this modern takeaway boy has become somewhat perverted in his heart.
