The Unnamed Desert is a land that really has no name. It is defined as the most unsuitable land for human habitation in the world. The sandy layer here is so thick that the organic matter content in the soil is extremely low, even planting cacti is difficult.
It is extremely difficult to survive, and animal activities are even rarer.
Because the sand is fine and light, strong winds often blow through it overnight, and the entire terrain can undergo earth-shaking changes. Fortunately, this is a low-temperature desert. The average temperature during the day is about 35 degrees, but at night, the temperature will plummet to 0
It's like a real-life version of the two heavens of ice and fire.
There is no oasis and no human habitation here. If the Underworld Bureau had not started construction here, no real estate developer would have thought to develop this land in the next year. The Underworld Bureau has obviously been operating here for many years and is known as the 4-runway airport.
As the center, hangars, sand walls, sealed reservoirs, living areas and other building complexes extend to all sides, just like a giant fortress in the desert.
It is difficult to repair this place, and even more difficult to maintain it. You must know that it rains less than 10 times in 365 days, and the rainfall is very little. People living here have to transport almost all their supplies by air. In order to save water, they even go crazy.
He invented the sand bath, which is to use very fine sand to wash away the stains on the body, and then use very little water to rinse the sand away. Most of the large things use the sand burying method. This trick
Humans learned it from cats.
Even so, the amount of funds used to operate this place is still extremely large. When colleagues in the Underworld Bureau see this fortress in the desert, they should understand that all their year-end bonuses that have been withheld for so many years have been lost here.
The plane landed smoothly on the airport runway. The quality of the airport is very hard, which is enough to land a giant transport aircraft such as the "An-225". It still landed 2 sorties at the same time.
The moment he left the plane, Thirteen was suffocated by the hot air. The heat here is completely different from the heat in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil bakes moisture into your body, but here it squeezes all the moisture out of you.
The air is extremely dry. Although the temperature is only 40 degrees, breathing in the lungs feels like burning fire.
In such an environment, no matter you are thirsty or not, you must drink water regularly and rationed. If you are not careful, you will become a human being.
The staff greeted the players who had arrived from afar to take a break, and they were also the second to last group to arrive. The specific content of the competition would not be announced until the last group of players arrived.
Thirteenth I hope that if those guys encounter a plane crash, it would be best to arrive a few days later in the evening.
Carrying large and small bags of luggage, Shisan and Niyuan arrived at the assigned room. It turned out to be the kind of temporary board house where the construction team lived. It only had two floors. The room was small and the decoration was very monotonous.
As soon as the air conditioner was turned on, Shisan's face was sprayed with sand. This thing couldn't be used, and the electric fan was more reliable.
Unfortunately, the whole room was as stuffy as a drawer. Thirteen put on his casual attire of a T-shirt, denim shorts, and flip-flops, and went to the bar with his team members to soak up the air conditioning.
There is only one employee bar in the entire fortress, and it is also the place with the best cooling conditions. It is probably more than 40 degrees outside and about 32 degrees indoors, right? That's it. It still operates 24 hours a day and is always overcrowded. Local employees charge a lot for consumption here.
It is so low that the selling price of the drinks cannot even cover the cost of air transportation, and it is regarded as a disguised welfare.
And these contestants who come from afar have to pay with performance points to buy a glass of ice water, and the price converted into RMB is more expensive than Lafite's red wine. Don't bargain, there is a limited supply. If you are quick, you will get it, but if you are slow, you will not.
, chop with cheap hands.
Even so, the new investigator players still poured into this cheating bar in an endless stream, drinking ice-cold drinks. They were no longer rookies when they came here. The first thing they did was to interact with those around them.
The staff members got together and quickly collected relevant information about this place.
The coordinates of this place are absolutely confidential. Various positioning tools such as GPS have been blocked when entering the interior of the fortress. Those who stayed to work were not the first batch of builders. They were more responsible for the maintenance of the fortress.
and exploration of surrounding terrain.
The entire fortress has been in operation for 5 years. The number of staff staying here has reached 10,000. Basically, one group will be rotated after one or two years of work. The main purpose is to protect the physical and mental health of these normal humans. In this desert
If you stay for a long time, it is easy for people to collapse.
As for the more detailed content, they were strictly prohibited from disclosing it to the outside world. Even when the contestants took out the collector's edition of Haagen-Dazs ice cream, no one dared to reveal even a word.
As there are more and more players, there are fewer and fewer local employees in the bar. Dozens of players seem to be communicating unintentionally, but in fact they are looking at their colleagues around them. Basically, more than half are old faces.
Many people have fought against each other in the past, and I can quickly tell who is stronger and who is weaker.
Although Thirteen has not landed in this world for more than five years, his title of "the strongest temporary worker" is still one of the most resounding among this group of people. Especially when he defeated the gay boss in the preliminary round.
In the alliance game, the method of defeating the boss in the intermediate rat's den has spread quickly.
Thirteen and his bad fate came here without losing any of their generals. It was a strong return to the training field, and it must not be underestimated. Not long after, Sister 9 and the Mengjiu team members led by her also came to the bar.
She doesn't seem to be as lucky as Thirteen. Of the eight team members, two have died. The loss rate is relatively small among the team. Sister No. 9 has no expression on the result. You don't know whether she is satisfied or unhappy.
.
The losses were mainly due to the fact that many seed teams were encountered in the intermediate competition area. The final battle was extremely fierce and turned into a melee with more than 300 people.
Being able to get 7 tickets from such an environment is also a display of strength.
Still wearing white ceramic armor, the dark-skinned short-haired Girl 9 naturally came to the bar and sat next to Thirteen against the table. The blood stains on her armor had not been completely wiped off, and small spots appeared in some places.
There are cracks, and the greedy wolf sword hanging on the waist is still shining brightly.
"Did you have a hard time playing?" Thirteen was just like chatting with other friends.
"The situation is much better than I expected. At least in the preliminary and intermediate rounds, I didn't encounter you or the pervert Yan Shen." As the 9th sister spoke, she ordered a glass of ice water and said, "You are still awesome, with the temporary formation
The team defeated the offensive and defensive alliance in the preliminary round, and defeated the ultimate boss behind it in the intermediate round.
I heard the staff discussing your story on the plane. More than 5 years have passed, and I thought you might not be able to regain the feeling you had before.
It seems that we have been apart for too long and have forgotten that Thirteen is always the monster in the best condition."
"I won't be happy if you compliment me like this." Thirteen smiled and said, "You used a little trick to let Lin Xi force me to go back to the big training. Now that we are here, are you ready to fight me?
?”
"It's not that I've never fought before, it's just that I've never won. But the person I am today is different from the person I was in the past. I'm no longer the little sister who follows you closely. I have my own team and the necessary requirements.
To complete the mission. Even if I face you, I will never show mercy.
Although I don't want something like this to happen, if it is unavoidable, I will personally send you out." Sister 9 said with great determination, showing a different maturity than in the past.
"Given your size, calling yourself my little sister 10 years ago would have been a bit rude, right? But seeing you look so confident that you can beat me to death really makes me happy. In the past, when a pack of wolves got together,
With this kind of fate, there are only a handful of people alive in the world today. With your strength and caution, it should not be a problem to live until retirement." Thirteen was full of emotions like an old man.
"You guessed wrong this time. Although I am not afraid of fighting you, I don't really want to fight you. Before the war started, I didn't analyze your relevant data and current strength. I was at a slight disadvantage during the fight.
"What I have been studying is the pervert named Yan Shen. After thinking about it, I still want you to play a game with him first. My winning rate as a fisherman will be much higher." 9th sister revealed without reservation.
own plan.
"How to meet the enemy, this is the first tactic I teach you. Theoretically speaking, this is really a tried-and-true trick. But have you overlooked an important point? Why did I accidentally explode the tiger's chrysanthemum despite knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain?
What?" Thirteen changed the proverb randomly again.
"You don't have to go looking for the tiger, the tiger will come to you by itself. Once you have dealt with Yan Shen, you will understand. He is a freak with a completely different thinking mode from ordinary people. He is so powerful that he is inhuman and has an extremely high IQ.
Be anxious. He considers himself a heroic figure in martial arts novels, and you are the biggest demon in the world that he dreams of eradicating.
While you still have time, think more about how to prevent a tiger from blowing your ass off." Girl 9 smiled mischievously, holding the water glass and walking in the direction of her team members.
"Sister 9, you've learned so badly." Thirteen sighed.
"I didn't learn this from you, old gangster."
Thirteen may have never thought that one day, his pack of wolves would actually use what they learned from him to harm him. This feeling was nothing like Uncle Li looking at his silver spear cub, with a clear sense of melancholy in his chest.
.
I didn’t know how long I would have to wait for the rest, but it was already approaching dinner time quietly. The last passenger plane finally landed on the runway. It didn’t take long for everyone to feel that the air in the bar was getting hotter and hotter.
It's unbearable, it feels like the air conditioner is broken.
And just when someone was about to yell, a pair of arms pushed open the closed door of the bar, and the man who made everyone stop talking and moving their hands walked in. He looked like an ignorant college youth, even here.
Even in such hot weather, I still wore a suit jacket with a stand-up collar and trousers, and I didn't feel hot at all.
He is the God of Fire... and he is also the only person to pass the level in his competition area. All the others were eliminated by him alone.
