The yellowing bamboo raft advances unhurriedly on the calm surface of the river, the green hills and farmland on both sides of the river are slowly moving from in front of you, and as the sun rises, the natural scenery on both sides of the river is becoming rarer and rarer. What came was the construction of neat and beautiful river embankments, dense houses and high-rise buildings.

This is just a town near Xiangshi. When it was the Youjiang Wharf, the cruise ships that should have stopped there were gone, and some were just zombies wandering along the coast.

Hearing the sound of the engine, the zombies rushed toward the shore. Although there were fences blocking them, when a large number of zombies were crowded, the zombies in the front row fell into the river row after row, like dumplings.

Peng Mao held his backpack, pressed his goose bumps, and said: "I would rather live on the river forever. Only the river and the sea are relatively safe."

"Then wait for us to reach the destination, don't get off the bamboo raft." Shi Gong Dui said.

"You are not the boss here, I don't listen to you." Peng Mao said.

Shi Gongdu glanced at Hao Jian and Lian Runing, who were closing their eyes, and said: "Speaking of this, I really thought that Lian was your captain at the beginning."

After spending so many days together, if he can no longer see that among these people, Hao Jian is actually the decision maker, then he would be too embarrassed to be a formal worker of the "special response team".

"In fact, it's normal for Lian to be called the boss, because Hao Jian has always listened to her." Peng Mao whispered.

Shi Gongdu was sour that a row of teeth fell: "The sour smell of love!"

After the bamboo raft has gone through seven or eight big bends, the bustling town once again disappears, and then another beautiful scenery is brought into view.

Then they crossed two more bridges, and when they reached the third bridge—Tonghu Bridge, they had already crossed the boundary of Xiangshi.

It is difficult to see the green hills and woods on both sides of the strait, but they are completely surrounded by dense houses and high-rise buildings, which makes people unable to feel the beauty of nature at all.

Of course, Hao Jian and the others had no intention of admiring the beauty of the green mountains and green waters. When they stepped into the boundary of Xiang City, their muscles were tight, and they were concentrating on every inch of land on the shore.

The river gradually became muddy, and there was a lot of gasoline floating on the surface, and in their naked eyes, the wreckage of colliding yachts or the overturned pleasure boat could be seen everywhere. It can be seen that there are not many people who think of fleeing big cities by water, but the boat has a carrying capacity, and the fleeing people will not take this into account. The overloaded boat will naturally sink.

Hao Jian and others also saw floating bodies on the river surface. There were men and women, most of whom were children. It can be seen that these were the victims of the shipwreck. They weren't infected by zombies, but died in an accident. Isn't this another kind of apocalypse?

"Hey, there are floating suitcases, do we want to catch them and see if there is any food in them?" Shi Gongyu said.

"I think it's not clothes or money or other valuable things in it!" Hao Jian said.

"Although I really want to change into new clothes, it's not easy to grab the clothes of the deceased. As for valuable things...for the end of the world, it is not worth at all, isn't it?" Lian Ru Ning sighed.

Hao Jian wanted to say that money can actually be circulated, but since they all knew that Ding Gunian's group wanted to collect money, and they doubted it, she didn't want to show "collecting money" after that, otherwise, It will also expose itself to other hosts.

Alas, it hurts my heart to show the appearance of "seeing money as dung"!

In the end, they didn't even bother to get those suitcases, because just as they were chatting, several helicopters appeared in the sky, and they went straight to the west of prosperity, and they didn't even look at them on the river.

"I haven't seen a helicopter for many days. I almost forgot that the guards still have these driving tools." The five people looked at the helicopter leaving with emotion.

"Depending on the situation, helicopters are not used for rescue operations, as if they are performing some emergency missions. Besides, the escorts we encountered are basically land-based, and we have never encountered those at sea or in the air. With less contact, it is naturally easy. Ignore them."

"That's right. Under normal circumstances, helicopters and fighter jets will not appear over densely populated urban areas. It is not for American blockbuster films. TV stations will also have helicopters dispatched live." After Shi Gongdi finished, he was a little regretful, "Tsk, I Why didn't it get paid by helicopter at the beginning."

"You're just a messenger for the official, and you still want a helicopter to send you off? I think it's beautiful!" Peng Mao sprayed him.

Shi Gong Dui pointed at him, and finally snorted: "I'm almost there, I still don't want to talk so much nonsense with you!"

From their current location, it takes about 20 kilometers to get to the city center. However, the range of the city center is too large. Hao Jian asked Shi Gongtu to reduce the range and confirmed that it would take about 27 kilometers. And this is only the distance to the nearest river bank there.

After landing, there are still a few streets to reach.

Not to mention, just these few streets are the most dangerous areas, and the possibility of them breaking through is really unlikely.

Everyone probably knows this, so the closer you get to the destination, the heavier the atmosphere on the bamboo raft. Shi Gongdui didn't quarrel with Peng Mao anymore, Lian Runing quietly controlled the bamboo raft, Xin Ting sat on the bamboo chair to rest, and Hao Jian stood in front of the bamboo raft to observe the surrounding environment with a telescope.

Occasionally, they could hear the cry for help from the shore, and many people waved to them and asked them to take them for a ride. However, Hao Jian refused without hesitation. Although they looked cold and ruthless, they didn't want to add any more details at such a juncture.

After adding another can of gasoline, the river's divergence became more and more, and the mouth of the river gradually became narrower.

Just as Shi Gongdui felt that something was wrong, he suddenly saw a billboard on the shore, and the address written on it was not "Xiangshi", but Nanfang City.

After realizing something, he turned his head and stared at Hao Jian.

Hao Jian seemed to be meditating, but after the gaze he cast over, he soon passed away, and then looked back at him.

"This is no longer within the scope of Xiangshi, you lie to me!" Shi Gongdui tried his best to suppress his anger, holding the axe replaced by Xin Ting in his hand, as if Hao Jian did not give him a reasonable explanation, he would come forward. Go to hold Lian Ru Ning like that.

Peng Mao and Xin Ting were a little confused by his words. What does it mean that this place is no longer within the scope of Xiangshi?

They looked at Lian Ru Ning, but saw Lian Ru Ning stop the bamboo raft.

Hao Jian sat down beside Shi Gongdui, and before Shi Gongdui was about to beat her, he said, "I don't want my gunpoint to be aimed at my companion."

Shi Gongdu thought that she still had a gun on her body, so she could only bear it down to see what she wanted to say.

Seeing that he cooperated, Hao Jian smiled slightly: "You want us to help you, but I never said that I am a saint. There is no benefit. Why should I risk my life to help you?"

Peng Maogang wanted to ask, are they not companions? But when he met Hao Jian's cold eyes, his words suddenly got stuck in his throat.

They, aren't they companions, why does Hao Jian look at them with such eyes?

Hao Jian didn’t care about Peng Mao and Xin Ting. She turned her head and looked at Shi Gongdu again: “You don’t have to wonder if I am a blameless person. In this matter, I didn’t intend to lie to you. Blame, it’s not a dime. I want to ask you for the benefits, you should want to get it."

Shi Gongdi stared at her, and suddenly remembered that the purpose of their trip was to return to Southern City to find relatives. He looked at this location again. The bamboo raft was located on the north branch of the Dongjiang River. The north bank was the suburb of Nanfang City, and the south bank was the boundary of Xiang City.

Under the bridge behind him, there is a river branching out from the north branch of the Dongjiang River. Entering from there, you can return to the nearest bank of his destination. If you go straight ahead, you will enter the southernmost district of Southern City.

The straight-line distance from this location happened to be within eight kilometers of the university city, which was the farthest distance he could use this device to invade the official communication channel.

He thought for a while, and asked with a cold face: "Let's talk about it, what do you want to do?"

"I want you to invade the education systems of Southern City University and Nanhai University and search for the login status of a few people."

Lian Runing probably didn’t want to let Hao Jian be the villain, so she said, “They are my parents and younger siblings. The purpose of my persistent return this time is to find them. Whether they are alive or dead, there’s news. There is always a way forward. We are very sorry for the thing that hijacked you, but I am not going to excuse my ulterior motives. I hope you can cooperate."

Shi Gongdi rolled his eyes and said, "You two are really good! Okay, I'm here now. Since you have also helped me a lot, I will give it a try. But no matter what the result is, We still have to go back to where I said, promise?"

Lian Runing nodded: "I promise you."

"I listen to Junior Sister."

Shi Gongdi was not willing to talk to them anymore, but turned on his own device and quickly started to operate it.

Hao Jian leaned back on the bamboo chair, and his thoughts returned to the dialogue with the system.

Just when they stepped into the southern city boundary, the main task 1: Sending Lian Ru Ning back to the southern city, in fact, had already reminded them to complete, and when the reminder of the mission was sounded, the reward for the mission appeared.

Congratulations to the host for completing main task 1...

Mission duration: 216 hours and 42 minutes.

Mission evaluation: three stars

Task reward: 200 experience, 500 points.

The host currently has accumulated experience of 1196 and accumulated remaining points of 1955!

The host experience has reached the 1000 experience required to be upgraded to level 4. Please choose whether to upgrade.

____

The previous experience required to upgrade to level 4 happened to be stuck in 996. If the main task 1 is not completed, then Hao Jian has to kill another zombie. But for her, it doesn't matter whether she can upgrade to level 4, but if she can upgrade, it will be the icing on the cake.

She chose to upgrade, and before she had time to see what changed after she was upgraded to Level 4, she confronted Shi Gongdi.

Now that Shi Gongdi is honest, she will continue to look at the permissions and functions updated after level 4. But before that, she was prompted by the system for the 2000 experience required to upgrade to level 5 for a moment.

Of course it was only a moment, after all, this was what she expected.

According to her years of experience in playing games, level 6 may require 5000 experience, or perhaps 10000 experience, which is probably related to the permissions and functions opened by the level.

After level 4, the system opens up the parcel permissions and limits the storage of 10 items.

Hao Jian is not sure how it defines "piece" for the time being. She is just very puzzled: "Didn't the system already have its own package function? Is this permission a bit redundant?"

The system replied: "The host prides itself on being smart. Didn’t you realize that the package function that the host thinks is just that the host is too lazy to take out the reward, and the system just stores it? And once the host takes out all the rewards from the system, None can be put back."

Hao Jian really didn't think about this question: "That is to say, this package permission is actually like a space plug-in, can it be put into objects outside the system?"

"correct."

Hao Jian didn't look half happy, but thought again.

The system was worried about her surprising thoughts, so it reminded: "After the host reaches level 4, the amount of food that can be purchased is 100, the amount of non-prescription drugs that can be purchased is 30, the daily necessities that can be purchased are 50, and the cold weapon can be purchased. 3 pieces, and the number of newly added prescription drugs can be purchased 3. The visible range of the map reaches 5 kilometers!"

"...Oh, then I can be sure that Ding Gu Nian was indeed above level 4 before." Except for heat-weapons, the materials that can be purchased, let alone feed 20 people, even 50 people are more than enough. Up.

"Your rewards really made me feel unreal." Hao Jian secretly said, "but it is very real in the senses, so real as if I have experienced all this."

"The host's words have a professional term called'observation phenomenon', also called'hippocampus effect', which refers to things or scenes that have not been experienced before, as if they had experienced a sense of deja vu at some time and place."

"You have a lot of research on this?"

"Of course, the system is knowledgeable!"

…Where did the boss’s system go? Why is it changed to a very narcissistic code?

Hao Jian glanced at Shi Gongdu and saw that he hadn't done it yet, and then went to see his level rewards.

The basic reward is still spicy, but it has been increased from 1 pack to 2 packs, and the rewards that seem to be really useful are a bit confusing, because one is an electric scooter and the other is a "Spiderman" safety suit, which means working at heights. The safety cable used by the person.

"Your level rewards are pretty awkward. I really can't tell from this whether the level rewards of each host are the same. After all, you are rewarded with all these things, and you may not need them for the rest of your life." Hao Jian paused. under.

"But I remembered one thing. When I was in Huangtian Town, no one from Ding Gunian's group found us. In other words, there were no stalkers among them. To put it another way, they were not as far away as ours. …So, they don’t have binoculars, that is to say, our level rewards may be different."

"..." Seeing that it was the moment when Hao Jian was forced to act again, the system just wanted to pretend to be dead, and it couldn't hear anything...

As for the Gurkha Army-Knife, Hao Jian believes that Ding Gunian bought it from the Cold Weapon Special, or... the rewards of the hosts are the same at level 1.

In any case, now is not the time to ponder these things.

At this moment, Shi Gong Dui suddenly said: "Lian Qingmiao, a professor at the School of Geographical Sciences of Nanhai University, has logged in to the school's educational administration system several times in July 2018. The last login was at 11 o'clock on July 27, 2018. 23 points, the address is displayed on the campus of Nanhai University in the university town."

Lian Ru Ning's heart was lifted at this moment.

"Gao Ruosu, Associate Professor of the History Department of Southern City University. The last time he logged on to the Academic Affairs System was on July 26, 2018. The address was on the South Campus of Southern City University, which is Yuewan Middle Road..."

Hao Jian frowned, as she expected. Lian Ru Ning's mother's campus is in the city center, which is blocked. In other words, her chances of surviving are much lower than Lian Ru Ning's father.

"As for Lian Rumeng, there is no record of her landing in the past month, but there seems to be her name in a list of the art department of Nanhai University who went out for sketching."

Lian Runing's heart followed Shi Gongdi's words. When she asked her last name, Shi Gongdi said, "Should you keep your promise?"

The implication is that if Hao Jian and the others do not cooperate, then he is not prepared to tell the news about Lian Ruji.
