Chapter 193 The Duo

"George came into L2 four days ago and he said he was tired of the lights, the walls, the concrete pillars, and he didn't want to live like a walking dead day in and day out."

"These young people are always full of adventurous spirit. I hope he can reach L3 smoothly. May God bless this daredevil."

"He carries plenty of almond water."

"But almond water won't help him avoid being steamed."

"..."

As the conversation continued, those two people also walked out of the corner, allowing Shen Fei to see their true colors.

Their appearance is indistinguishable from that of humans on Earth. Both of them are carrying travel backpacks, holding slashing weapons in their hands, a machete and a long knife.

Shen Fei didn't feel any threat from them. After thinking about it, he took the initiative to walk out from behind the pillar, waved his arms at the two of them, approached at a slower speed, and signaled that he had no malice.

He said softly, "Hi, I'm a new homeless man, may I act with you?"

The two were taken aback by him, but they didn't run away or attack rashly. Instead, they stared at Shen Fei and slowly backed away until Shen Fei came to a place under the fluorescent light, and they said loudly: "You stand there first."

Shen Fei stopped as he said, and looked up at the fluorescent light, guessing that the two of them were going to take a good look at him.

The eyes of the two scanned him several times before the taller one asked, "What's your name? Where did you come from?"

Shen Fei put on a harmless expression, spread his hands and said: "You can call me A Fei, I don't know where it is, there are walls everywhere, and there are fluorescent lights with damn noise, I walked into a door by mistake and got here."

The two seemed not surprised by Shen Fei's statement. In fact, most of the homeless people entered L0 from L1, and only a small number of lucky ones would appear directly in L1.

"How did you appear in L0, the place where you said it was full of walls?" the other party continued to ask.

Shen Fei thought quickly in his heart, and said calmly: "To be honest, I don't know, I seem to have encountered some strange things, and I will be there when I wake up."

The tall and strong one tentatively asked: "Are you from Hua Country?"

Shen Fei was surprised: "Do you know the country of flowers?" The two of them looked similar to the white people on the earth, but they actually knew the country of flowers. Could it be that they came from the earth or a similar parallel plane?

The tall and strong man seemed a little proud: "Of course, I traveled there when I was young. It's a wonderful country."

Shen Fei laughed and said, "I'm glad you like the country I'm in. Which city did you go to then? Is there anything there that left a deep impression on you?"

He is trying to master the dominance of speech, so that he can obtain the information he needs faster and more purposefully, and reduce the probability of being speechless when asked.

The other party seemed to be happy to share his experience: "I went to Yuecheng for my graduation trip. It was more than ten years ago, but the morning tea there left a deep impression on me..."

He was happily describing it, but his companion bumped his shoulder. Then he realized that the situation was not right, coughed twice, and got back to the topic:
"Well, if you want to join, it's not impossible, but if you want to get some tips about surviving in L1, you need to pay for two cans of almond water. I know you don't have it yet, I mean after we find almond water."

This agrees?Shen Fei was a little puzzled, obviously, his companion also thought so, and tugged the tall white man again, and the two started whispering.

"Why did you agree, we don't even know his origin."

"Didn't he say he's from the country of flowers? And here, the origin doesn't matter at all, does it?"

"But at least we should verify that he is not an entity. What if he is a skin thief?"

"Skin stealers will only meaninglessly imitate humans, and cannot communicate, you should know."

"But at least we should look at his blood just to be on the safe side, shouldn't we?"

"Well, if you insist."

The shorter one didn't object to let Shen Fei follow them, because the human beings living here would be better off together, he was just more cautious and needed to confirm that Shen Fei was really human.

Although the two of them were still relatively far away from Shen Fei, and deliberately lowered their voices, they couldn't escape Shen Fei's ears.

Gao Zhuang said to Shen Fei: "I need to see the color of your blood to confirm whether you are a skin stealer, well, you don't know what a skin stealer is, I will tell you about it later."

Of course Shen Fei knew what a skin thief was, it was one of the items listed in the list of common entities.

[Skinstealers are large humanoid entities that disguise themselves in the flesh of their victims.

They eat human flesh when they're hungry, and wander aimlessly when they don't need food.

Their blood is translucent and they mimic human voices.

They are usually found in the first four tiers, but appear in several other tiers as well. ]
There are only a few brief introductions in the information, but at the very least let Shen Fei know the intention of the two of them, which is to see if his blood is translucent.

Shen Fei pulled out the Tormentor's Blade from behind, and cut a small wound with his finger, revealing red blood.

Only then did the two heave a sigh of relief, but when Shen Fei just drew the weapon, the tall and strong man noticed the holster on Shen Fei's waist and the elemental revolver inside, and also noticed the black combat uniform on Shen Fei's body. It's no wonder he was insensitive, mainly because he was used to seeing all kinds of strange clothes on the No. 4 battlefield.

The light in his eyes flashed away, but they remained calm. The two of them met with Shen Fei first, and at the same time introduced themselves: "My name is Tom, and he is Simon. We are all homeless people who have lived in L1 for more than 3 years. This time we are going out just to wander around to see if we can come across some supply boxes."

"Oh, you may not know what the supply box is, it's one of the special features of the L1 floor..."

Shen Fei listened to his narration, and mutually verified the content with the information:

[Supply boxes will randomly appear and disappear on the L1 floor.

They usually contain important items (food, almond water, batteries, tarps, weapons, clothing, medical supplies) and useless stuff (various car parts, crayon boxes, used syringes, partially burnt paper, live mice, rats in a stressed state injected with unknown substances, shoelaces, loose change, bales of human hair).

The contents of these chests should be handled with care, but they are indeed valuable resources. ]
But obviously Tom's description is more detailed than that in this document.

The three of them walked while talking like this. In fact, it was Tom who was talking. He seemed to have a strong desire to express himself. After introducing the supply box, he said in a reminding tone: "Oh, yes, I just saw that you are carrying a gun, but I don't recommend you to use it. Shooting a gun will cause a loud noise, which may attract entities, which will only speed up the arrival of death."

Shen Fei casually pulled out the elemental revolver from the holster, and handed it to him indifferently: "Actually, this gun may just be a simulation model. I haven't found a place to load the bullet, let alone fire it."

"Oh? Really?" Tom didn't seem to believe it, and took the revolver casually. He thought that Shen Fei was from Huaguo, and he might not be able to use guns correctly, but he was different.

Tom took the elemental revolver, and the texture of the hand told him that it must be a real gun. He kept fiddling with it in his hand, trying to disassemble the revolver magazine, but tried many times in vain, and his head was sweating a little.

Seemingly unwilling, he signaled the two of them to take a step back, pointed the revolver forward and pulled the trigger. The trigger was pulled smoothly, but the elemental revolver did not give any feedback, which made him a little frustrated.

He casually threw the elemental revolver to Shen Fei: "I have collected a lot of revolvers on earth, and I have to say that the feel of this simulation wheel is really top-notch."

Shen Fei reached out to catch the elemental revolver and put it back into his waist, not worried at all whether Tom could tell the truth from the fake.

But Tom asked again: "A Fei, do you have any special occupation on earth?" When he spoke, he looked at Shen Fei's combat uniform from the corner of his eyes.

Shen Fei shrugged: "No, these are the clothes I picked up on the L0 floor. I thought it was more convenient than the ones on me, so I changed them."

"Oh? Floor L0?" After hearing this, Tom looked a little wary, and his right hand was about to reach for the scimitar.
