1154 A shopkeeper who is not afraid of getting his hands dirty
It seems that everyone is very busy!
Lin Sanjiu cursed secretly in her heart. Before she had time to turn her head to see who was coming, the aroused air flow had already hit her face. Her whole body suddenly lit up, and at the same time she let go of the only one.
The right hand holding the rope tightly was immediately pulled down by gravity.
Even though the altitude had dropped by half, the darkness below was still so deep that it made people panic. Even the person rushing towards her didn't expect that she let go as soon as she said let go.
Amidst the roar of the wind, Lin Sanjiu vaguely heard the man exclaiming in surprise: "How dare you!"
To be honest, she was also shocked by herself. If she fell from here, even if she had a [Protective Force Field], it would be impossible without breaking a few bones; in her current state, I'm afraid she really couldn't bear such a situation.
Tossed.
Countless iron doors and wall tiles were quickly drawn into shadows in front of her eyes. When Lin Sanjiu's field of vision flashed with coppery yellow, her arms shot out like lightning, and she held on tightly.
Holding the door handle, she finally managed to steady her body; half of her heart seemed to be hanging in the air above her head. Just when she was about to lower her head to see how high she was from the ground, her fingers couldn't bear the strength, and suddenly she lowered her head.
It slipped and fell again.
Fortunately, she was stopped by the door handle, and her fall was not so severe. When she fell to the ground with a muffled sound, she fell right into the center of two high walls; the [Protective Force Field] was hit hard.
The white light swayed and flickered wildly, taking away a lot of strength from her. Apart from the pain all over her body, she was not injured at all.
Without her left hand, it took Lin Sanjiu a few more seconds to regain her balance. She put away her things and stood up. Just as she was about to take a look at where she was, she heard "ta da da" coming from mid-air behind her.
There was a sound of footsteps getting closer and closer - when he looked back, he saw a dark figure quickly chasing down the wall. The arc-shaped wall under his feet was like flat ground to him, and he started running.
Flexible and free.
"I just want to talk!" the man shouted loudly as he pounced down, with a faint excitement in his tone, as if he suddenly found out that he had won four numbers in a row while watching the lottery: "What's next?
It’s safe, climb up quickly!”
"There are people at the bottom,"
Teacher Yi spoke suddenly, and [Consciousness Scanning] spread out in all directions at the same time. Due to her damaged ability, the high walls around her zigzag like a maze, dividing the space into small pathways, and her perception
The area was almost completely dark. In the corners where little white lights could not illuminate, she could vaguely detect people's low breathing, fleeting glances, and the rustling of clothing...
These people were hiding far and near in the ground floor. Some were at a corner, and some were a few walls away. It was unclear how many there were and where they were.
"I really didn't lie to you, come up quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Sanjiu turned around and rushed to a small road ahead, turned around the corner, and once again distanced herself from the man behind her.
No wonder when you are at a high place, you can only see darkness when you look down.
Countless three- to four-meter high walls blocked the ground floor of the building into seemingly endless roads. Most of the light reflected from above was blocked by the towering walls. On the road she entered, there was a
There are iron arches one after another; when you cross this road and look to the right, you can vaguely see several walls enclosing a small square.
In this "maze" composed of alleys, there are also small lights with white cotton balls. They use their laborious light to dye sections of the walkway dim white. Although it is not very bright, it can at least be bright.
See clearly the front, rear, left and right.
She stopped hurriedly, pressed her back against the wall, and held her breath.
As soon as the footsteps of the pursuer hit the ground, it was like snowflakes melting into the coals, leaving only silence. Lin Sanjiu waited quietly for a while, but no one was caught up in the corner, and then slowly
She stepped back step by step - she walked so slowly to prevent the soles of her shoes from making any sound.
The person just now didn't seem to be willing to chase her through countless paths. She turned two turns in a row, and her pace became faster and faster, until she suddenly stopped in front of a wall.
There is one more thing on this wall.
"Map of the first floor of the general hospital," Teacher Yi read aloud in her mind. "Look, where are the toll office and ancillary stores?"
A printed floor map is hung in a glass frame. The roads are lined with many thin lines, making it look like a round electronic chip. On one of the paths, a yellow five-pointed star is painted.
Next to it it says "You are here".
Lin Sanjiu looked around along the five-pointed star and found that to her upper left, about two roads away, was a square representing a room, which also had a line of small words: "Toll Office and Affiliated Stores".
What a coincidence, it happens to be not far from her.
Except for this small square, I didn't expect that the bottom floor of the hospital is really complete: not only a nurse's station, restrooms, management office, but also a cafeteria and a duty room.
She looked at the map carefully a few more times, trying to imprint all the routes she had taken in her memory. She walked carefully along the way, and whenever she heard the slightest noise, she would stop and observe for a long time - the two roads
However, after walking for more than ten minutes, I finally saw a bright light in the distance sandwiched between two high walls.
The light at the toll booth was much brighter than the wall lamp, giving an evolved person standing at the door a white edge. The man was looking down at something in his palm. After looking at it for a few seconds, he shook his head and lowered his head.
He cursed, "You dare to ask for four points for such a piece of shit," and then turned around and walked away - seemingly not noticing Lin Sanjiu hiding in the distance.
Lin Sanjiu waited for him to leave for a while before standing at the door of the toll office.
...To be honest, this really doesn't look like a hospital billing office.
If she had to compare it, she felt it was more like a small roadside shop: not only did it have a squeaking electric fan and a freezer full of drinks, but even the staff behind the counter looked like they were relying on...
A middle-aged shop owner who raises two or three children in a small shop. The only thing that makes people think it is related to a hospital is probably the snow-white counter.
The man who looked like a shopkeeper had a drooped face and looked up at Lin Sanjiu. He shaved very carelessly and missed a lot of places. The razor did not shine on the skin it passed by, lazily.
A few strands of beard stuck out.
Is this a replica creature? No, this is already a world, that is... a fallen species?
"What do you want to buy?" When she was thinking about it secretly, the shopkeeper asked without any interest.
"I... well, this," Lin Sanjiu, who didn't even have a single point on his body, approached the white counter and pretended to think about it, "What's here?"
"Haven't you seen the price list?"
"Oh, that..."
"Yes, that's it," the shopkeeper interrupted her impatiently. A chubby hand fluttered in front of her eyes like a meat butterfly, as if he was going to drive her away: "I only sell that
Come back after you think about what you want. I don't have time to go shopping with a woman."
It seems that no matter where the hospital is, the attitude of the staff is not much better.
Lin Sanjiu was penniless and came here just to inquire about the news. How could she ask him to leave so easily? She turned her head away from her fleshy butterfly-like hands, cleared her throat, and asked: "What if I
To ask about the effect of something..."
"It's on the product box," the shop owner said with a straight face. There were only some scattered small pill boxes on the shelf behind him, and it seemed that there would be no more than twenty in total.
"Can I take a look?" She had already thought about it and wanted to take a look at the lava injury recovery ointment first.
"Make points to buy."
"What I mean is, you give me a look first, and if the effect is suitable, I will buy it..."
The shopkeeper stared, and the listlessness just now disappeared, as if he heard someone asking to marry his seventy-year-old mother: "Let me show you first? Are you kidding me? What if you run away with my things?"
"I will definitely give it back to you—"
"I used to think that I would definitely be able to get ahead, but now I'm not here to deal with you." The shopkeeper smacked his lips and said, "Let's go quickly."
The more he drove her away, the more at ease Lin Sanjiu felt. Ever since she entered this hospital, she had met people who tried every means to get close to her, and each one had more ulterior motives than the last.
She tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly an idea came to her - no, it's not quite right to say it was an idea, it was more like an inspiration inspired by a doubt. Almost all the items on the price list were medical services and medical supplies.
Then it is reasonable to buy it at the hospital charge counter; but what is sold in the affiliated store is not written on the price list.
"It's like this," she explained, "the thing I want to buy is not on the price list. Is this also an affiliated store?"
"Yes," the shopkeeper glanced at her suspiciously, as if he was worried that she would pull out a gun and rob him at any time.
“What’s in your affiliate store?”
It seems that she asked the right question. This is a problem that a small shopkeeper cannot shirk and must start introducing products. With a bit of discomfort as if he had to work, he replied: "That's a lot. Although I didn't show it,
But if you want it, I can bring it out to you at any time...well, such as the "Player Information Letter", playing cards, lip balm..."
"Wait, player information letter?" Lin Sanjiu asked hurriedly, "So it was sold in the hospital? How many points?"
"Five o'clock." At this time, the small shop owner saw the possibility of making a business, his face gradually began to light up, and his eyes were wet with hope: "Do you want to buy it?"
No money.
"I really want to buy it." Lin Sanjiu said sincerely, "But unfortunately, I don't have any points... Where can I get the points?"
There was a layer of disappointment on the face of the shop owner, but he still tried his best: "Do you have anything else on you? No, it's not special items. For example, if you bring any medical supplies with you, I can take them back at a discount. Of course.
It must be unopened and used.”
"No - tell me, if I want to earn points, what can I do?" This information must be in the player information sheet, but if you don't know this information, you can't get the information sheet, which is really ironic.
The shopkeeper chewed his teeth and thought for a few seconds.
"Do you really want the Player Information Letter?" He answered incorrectly. "If you sincerely want to buy it, there is another way... You should know that a person can survive with only one kidney, right?"
