On the way to Vault Zero, Rickard killed that idiot Narezzano four times, and he finally calmed down the anger in his heart towards that idiot.
And seeing him appear with confidence every time as if he was brand new from the factory, and then being executed in the same way by himself, Rickard even felt a little pity for this former enemy. Of course, although Rickard was a little pitiful, but every time he attacked
There was no mercy at all.
He just saw the true situation of Narezzano. No matter how he was resurrected again and again, it was obvious that his hidden ally only regarded him as amusement.
Considering that the Rothschild family still has great influence in Phoenix City, Rickard guessed that Narezano was also abandoned by his family and that he is now just a clown used to entertain the public.
If there were not players in this world as a threat, the whole world would have the possibility of becoming a clown. Rickard might have laughed heartily because of this, but now he just wants to reach Shelter Zero as soon as possible.
At this point, compared to Xianyun Yehe, the ranger-like Rickard, another scarlet disciple Ding Yue has been taken to Vault Zero by Surte.
"Long time no see, sir." Ding Yue looked at Tang Ji with a complicated expression and said hello in a somewhat unfamiliar manner.
Whether it was before or after the Apocalypse Day, Ding Yue never really integrated into Tang Ji's team. He still doesn't know why he was selected by Tang Ji to become a scarlet disciple.
But it is undeniable that Ding Yue is definitely the hardest working one among the three Scarlet disciples. He has made the biggest changes from a common man to today.
Moreover, Ding Yue was grateful to Tang Ji. He knew very well that if Tang Ji hadn't turned him into a Scarlet Disciple, his best end would have been to be destroyed along with Night City in the Apocalypse. An old street resident like him had no qualifications at all.
Enter the shelter.
Even if he is unlucky, fate will not favor him too much. Ding Yue, who once served as the supervisor of the shelter for a short time, knows all about the ways in the shelter. An ordinary mortal who just wants to live a good life, it is best to
The result is to dedicate yourself to your position until death.
Even in its golden age, human beings failed to distribute materials evenly, let alone after the Apocalypse, in shelters where material resources were scarce.
At this point, if Alejandro had not gone to the mother world, he should have the most say, because compared to other regional shelters that still maintain humanitarian amulets on the surface, the Ganges people have already opened
Put it aside and govern those untouchables in the same way
Although the Dalit class in the real sense has long since died in the Apocalypse, Dalit is just a tool that is likely to be used to divide classes. It is a concept, not an ethnic group, and will always have a
Lit, there will always be Brahmins.
But fortunately, it is already the day after the end of the world. No one cares about the human rights issues of the Ganges people. What people are discussing is how to destroy a world more efficiently.
The good news is that they have tried it once in their own world, but the bad news is that they feel it is not efficient enough.
"So I want to go there too?" When Ding Yue asked this question, he felt a little guilty.
Although Ding Yue worked as a supervisor in the ECS Bureau for a while, at his core he is still a small citizen with a bit of blood and a sense of justice. He can probably represent the "good guys" in Night City.
But now if he were to just go through that portal and break into a strange world alone, he would still feel timid.
What's more, that world is still the world of players. Ding Yue, who has dealt with players a lot, is naturally full of fear of that world, but
"It makes sense to send us there, right?" Ding Yue asked Wu Qianying. He knew that if it were not for his identity as a Scarlet Disciple, he would just be an inconspicuous ordinary person. Now Dr. Wu Qianying is sending Scarlet Disciples to the mother world one by one.
The only reason can only be his identity as a scarlet disciple.
"I'm sorry, I can't give you a definite answer now. The mother world is also very unfamiliar to us." Wu Qianying sighed and explained: "I can only tell you that this is an attempt."
"That passage is too small for superhumans of the level of the Seven Deadly Sins. They can't pass through it, and it is gradually shrinking. As the Scarlet Disciples, all your power comes from Tang Ji. Maybe at a suitable time in the future, you can serve as
Tang Ji's lighthouse." Wu Qianying's voice was cold and rational, because these conclusions were completely based on pure reason.
"I" Ding Yue hesitated for a few seconds and smiled helplessly. He owed Tang Ji, and he would have to pay it back sooner or later. They believed this: "In this case, I am willing to accept my fate, as long as it can bring impact to the world."
Any little bit of hope is worth it."
"Anyway, there is nothing left in our world now. Hope is the most precious thing, isn't it?" Ding Yue, who looked away, gradually became free and easy, and began to make requests to Wu Qianying: "But before going to another world
, I want to have a good meal! And I want to smoke!"
At this point, Ding Yue glanced around to make sure that Tang Ji was not nearby, and then said loudly: "As long as I smoked that kind of cigarette before! I have long wanted to try it!"
"The supply of materials in Shelter Zero is sufficient. As long as your request for the menu is not too outrageous, it can basically be satisfied." Wu Qianying knew that 80% of it was a one-way ticket, so she was not dissatisfied with Ding Yue's request, but she still refused.
Ding Yue’s request for the Tree of Life.
"No more, it's that simple. At least there is definitely none in Base Zero." Wu Qianying explained simply: "But Tang Jina may still have some in stock, you can ask him for it."
"I would rather ask Mikkelsen for it." Before Ding Yue could finish his words, Mikkelsen really appeared.
"I'm kidding." Ding Yue smiled awkwardly. Even if he was about to leave for another world, he didn't want to have any unpleasantness with someone like Mikkelsen because of a cigarette. That would be entirely for himself.
Feeling uncomfortable.
The feast Ding Yue requested was quickly served by the canteen. As Dr. Wu Qianying said, Shelter Zero has sufficient supplies. It is the underground city that Mikkelsen spent half a century building.
, is not the same as other shelter units.
The main reason why the entire shelter uses products from the Gray Field Project as its main food is based on morality.
Because the person who built Vault 0 was Mikkelsen, and the person who promoted the Gray Field Project was also Mikkelsen. Even the person in charge of the entire project, the specific operators, etc. also lived in Vault 0.
So they couldn't enjoy the delicacies of the old world alone after they destroyed human food culture.
Of course, not everyone thinks so. At least Mikkelsen himself does not have this awareness. Therefore, from top to bottom, there are not many people who truly abide by this moral restraint. Vault 0 still plays its role as it should.
It can supply the dietary needs of everyone in the entire base.
Ding Yue's last meal was very rich. He ordered a night city signature ramen, a Big Mac burger, but the beef was replaced by synthetic meat, a large portion of tamales, the meat was also synthetic meat, and a sufficient amount of
Little cola, seasonal fresh fruits.
"It looks like the last meal in hospice care." Ding Dae swallowed the food and said vaguely.
For him, the world has changed too fast. It has only been three or four months since he woke up. He has just begun to accept this wasteland-like world, and now he has to say goodbye again.
But in the past three or four months, Ding Yue did not eat anything decent. The shelter he supervised failed to save its seed bank due to the riots caused by the Hener Committee, so most of the people in the shelter were
Eating the food produced by the Gray Field Project honestly.
And the smell of that thing, if used for a long time, is enough to defeat any tough guy unless he is Tang Ji.
Sitting opposite Ding Yue was Tang Ji. While Ding Yue was feasting, Tang Ji was just silently eating his share of the food produced by the Gray Field Project.
"I remember they also serve ice cream. It should taste good. You can try it." Tang Ji finished his portion of food in three strokes: "I don't know what Wu Qianying told you. I'm not here to persuade you."
This nonsense has nothing to do with you."
Tang Ji slapped his spare prelude on the table and pushed it to Ding Yue: "There are no bystanders in this war. Everyone has a responsibility. You were a coward before. Now take it and turn it around. Don't let me down and regret it."
I chose you."
Alejandro resisted the urge to strangle the 'player' and tried to talk to him.
He used to do anti-drug work, and he had his own tricks on how to deal with such street-level villains, but now this 'player' seemed particularly stupid.
"Brother, I can tell from the first look at you that you are the kind of person who has been to another world and ridden a bitch from another world. You must have something, right?" The 'player' on the opposite side repeated his request for an unknown number of times.
, there is a plan to annoy Alejandro to death if the goal is not achieved.
"I have already said that my goods will not be given away in vain." Alejandro frowned. He actually wanted to test the physical fitness and courage of the players in this world.
After all, in his world, those players are almost all like a weakened version of Kang the Resurrection, mainly playing a game world, and annoying people to death without paying for it.
But in their own world, these 'players' are obviously more aware of current affairs. Alejandro only needs a fierce look to make the other party retreat obediently, but the other party's indomitable resilience still makes Alejandro
Luo was extremely angry.
"Your time is precious, isn't it, buddy? You have to seize the time to recharge your batteries and come to another world again. Use swords or magic to kill the indigenous people, steal their treasures, and sleep with their women, right?" That'
The player stood in a safe position more than ten meters away from Alejandro and chattered: "But I'm different. I'm bored to death. I can spend the whole day with you!"
"Don't you have anything to offer in exchange?" Alejandro looked around at the empty streets. There was no one around here, and he was ready to silence him.
After all, the camouflage suit he was wearing looked similar to what the players wore, but it was still a little different in gloss and material, so Alejandro planned to change to new equipment.
"Hey, brother, apart from being able to go to another world, what's the difference between you and me? Do you have anything that can be used as exchange? Are you stupid in a different world?" The 'player' laughed: "
We have nothing but our own memory sectors, have you forgotten how to live such a hard life?"
Alejandro knew that the other party was not telling the truth. At least according to the information revealed by the members of the Death Cult, this alternative currency was still circulating among players, and to a certain extent, it had been officially approved by the mother world.
admit.
It is an electronic currency based on a similar cryptocurrency. It has no specific name and is only proportional to points. It is generally used for transactions between players, but there are also many points spread from players to 'non-player' groups, who often use
To buy those that are exciting enough and come from the player’s memory.
"At 25 o'clock, I can sell you a memory, guaranteed to stimulate." Alejandro offered a market price. At least before the Apocalypse, members of the Death Worship Cult will sell themselves in other places at this price.
Memories of the world.
"Points? Brother, have you stayed in another world for too long? That thing has collapsed a long time ago!" The player made an explosion gesture: "Overnight, all the commonly used points were gone.
All the players have disappeared, and now even the black market no longer exists!"
Hearing what the other party said, Alejandro was stunned and smiled. Who said they didn't hurt the mother world? Their impact on the mother world was much greater than imagined!
Obviously, if an officially recognized virtual currency wants to collapse overnight, it will prove that its issuers, maintainers, and users have all suffered a devastating blow in that disaster, and this cannot be done.
Well, he might be the mainstay among the players in the home world!
"Okay, come here and I'll give you one for free." Alejandro said to the other party after making sure there was no one else around.
From the known information they had, there was a high probability that there was no surveillance system on the streets of the mother world, because no one cared, so he planned to just get it done, and then take the body back to him before he could go far.
'Birthplace' to see if material transport can be carried out in reverse.
This is also an important part of Alejandro's long list of experiments, but just before he started, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Fuck! How did you get in!"
