Chapter 657 NPCs in the Gobi
Ruoshui Sanqian and the fat man robbed a lot of supplies before, but now they are piled up behind the bushes like a hill, not to mention, it looks quite spectacular.

And one of the two must have obsessive-compulsive disorder, because although these materials are piled together, they are classified in a very detailed manner, even more neat and uniform than the shelves in the supermarket, giving people a pleasing feeling.

"Brother, so many things are not just me. I'm afraid the two of us can only take them away if we are overloaded, but this will definitely affect our mobility. What do you think? Let me carry the full load alone if necessary." , you should go into battle lightly, after all, if you encounter a dangerous situation later, you will have to deal with it, but I will definitely not be able to walk fast like this, and I have to rest frequently to recover my fatigue value, so you have to wait for me."

Uncle Conch is a more rational person, and he quickly gave his opinion, but he didn't mean to influence Zuo Yang's thoughts, and he spoke in a suggestive tone.

"No need, both of us only carry part of the load, it's better not to carry more than 50 kilograms."

Zuo Yang didn't feel distressed at all, and said bluntly, "Since the map of the Western Regions has these survival attribute values ​​set, there must be a place to provide these supplies. We try to bring as much as possible just in case of emergencies. No matter how many supplies we bring There is always a time when you run out, the most important thing is to adapt to the gameplay here as soon as possible and find a way to replenish supplies.”

"Brother is right. In fact, I think so too, and I discovered something before. What do you think it is?"

After saying this, Mr. Conch took out a wooden stick wrapped with cotton cloth at one end from his backpack, and handed it to Zuo Yang.

"This is……?"

A smell of grease and saltpeter came to the nostrils, and Zuo Yang received it in his hand with doubts in his heart—【torch】.

——【Torch: An indispensable item for walking in the Western Regions at night. It can not only increase the range of vision at night, but also effectively avoid the sneak attacks of wild animals, but it is not easy to get it. 】

"This thing is a good thing, where did you get it?"

Zuo Yang was also miraculous, and looked at Mr. Conch with great interest.

It's already past [-]:[-] p.m., Yanmen Pass has also closed the exit business, and at the same time, half of the west-slanting sun has dropped below the horizon, so that the current environment is already a bit dim, so it's not like when I first left the pass Has a long viewing distance.

It can be judged from this that after the sun really sets, the player's field of vision will definitely continue to decline when night comes, and the dangers they face will gradually increase.

Even if Zuo Yang is very strong and is not afraid of the attacks of those wild beasts, he is definitely not omnipotent when facing some "terrain killers" that cannot be dealt with by manpower... This kind of time shows the power of [torch] It is valuable, with this thing, you can have a good vision even if you are driving at night, and you can definitely maximize the efficiency of your driving.

However, as far as Zuo Yang knew, the material merchants at Yanmenguan did not sell such things at all, and the City Lord's Mansion did not provide them at all... So, where did Mr. Conch get it?

"Hey hey hey."

After being affirmed by Zuo Yang, Mr. Conch was also very helpful, and immediately smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, "This is a blueprint I accidentally got when I was exploring the Western Regions some time ago. This blueprint happens to be something that a craftsman like me can I used it, so according to the guidance of the drawing, I went around here for a long time, and finally found the flint and red pine wood I needed, and then made a few torches."

"It seems that your life occupation is more useful in this map of the Western Regions than imagined."

Zuo Yang nodded, and pondered, "Maybe in the future, there will be more places where you need to use your life skills. At that time, even I can only be your assistant in order to survive."

"Brother, what you said is a bit serious. With your strength, even if you go all the way in, there is no problem at all. There will be no shortage of supplies..."

Uncle Conch hurriedly said in fear.

"In what proportion do you think we should carry these materials?"

Zuo Yang said again, in the Western Regions, people like Uncle Conch who have died many times must have more life experience.

"According to my previous experience, dry food is consumed faster than water, and as for water, as long as the water source can be found, these water bottles can be reused, so my opinion is that apart from oil-paper umbrellas and winter clothes Take only one thing that you don’t usually need when carrying heavy loads. For the rest of the load, bring 10 pots of water and use 10 water bottles for recycling. It’s best to bring dry food for the rest, so that even if you don’t find a water source for several days in a row , and we shall not die of thirst."

Uncle Conch also immediately became serious, thinking carefully.

"Okay, just do as you say."

Zuo Yang decisively agreed with him.

"But... what should we do with the remaining supplies?"

Uncle Conch looked at the supplies on the ground with distressed expression again. If the two of them were not overloaded, they wouldn't even be able to carry half of the supplies, which is really a pity.

"Let's put it on the official road, as we are doing charity. If someone passes by later, it can just be used. It can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people."

Zuo Yang thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said "generously".

In fact, according to his personality, he really wanted to bring these materials back to Yanmen Pass and sell them before leaving the pass to continue on his way. However, Yanmen Pass has regulations, and those who leave the pass cannot return to the Central Plains within 5 days.

And Zuo Yang didn't want to squat in this place and wait for 5 days before rushing on his way. It would be a waste of time and energy, so he could only grit his teeth and make such a decision that didn't fit his personality at all. Alas, it hurts. ,very painful……

……

In the Western Regions, players can also go offline.

After going offline, the survival status will be frozen, and the related attributes will not continue to decline, so the player will not die after going offline, but you must not try to take advantage of this setting, thinking that if you regret it after exiting the level, you can play in the game. Offline for several days in a row outside the customs, and then go online when you can return to the Central Plains.

Because these 5 days are calculated according to the online time.

So once you exit the level, the player has only two choices, either frantically looking for supplies to survive, or waiting for the supplies to run out to starve to death, die of thirst, die of illness, or freeze to death.

Having just obtained a large amount of resources, Zuo Yang and Mr. Conch have no worries about this for the time being.

But offline rest is definitely needed, especially Zuo Yang, this guy doesn't look like a game studio member when he plays games. If there are no special circumstances, he will strictly follow the routine of going to bed early and getting up early.

Especially at night, before 10 o'clock, he will definitely log off in advance, because besides games, he has more important things to do, such as copying talismans before going to bed.

Although he had figured out how to draw the talismans carved on the [Ding Lanchi] before, it still required a very assiduous process if he wanted to use the other three talismans for his own use. Any slack and luck.

As for the issue of going offline, Zuo Yang discussed another method with Mr. Conch.

Because the two of them are not together, their usual work and rest habits are also different. If the online time is inconsistent, it is very likely that they will get separated or one of them will accidentally fall into a dangerous situation and die. Of course, the second situation It was mainly aimed at Mr. Conch, because at Zuo Yang's level, if he encountered a dangerous situation that even he could not survive, then adding another Mr. Conch would probably be useless.

So after discussing with each other, they left a phone call with each other and agreed on the next time to go online in advance. If anyone is unable to go online on time due to unexpected circumstances in reality, they can call the other party in advance to notify the other party, so that two parties can be achieved. People's on-line time is exactly the same.

This method is quite effective.

In the next two days, they cooperated very well without any accidents at all. Even if they encountered some wandering beasts occasionally, they were easily taken care of by Zuo Yang.

In terms of supplies, because they passed through two water sources, they filled the 10 water bottles they carried with them to the brim. They had no worries about this at all. They only had dry food. So far they haven’t found any props that can replace dry food, so has been in constant consumption.

Right now, they still have a total of 14 packs of dry food left. If two people consume it together, according to the current consumption rate, it should still be possible to last another 2 to 3 days.

Over the past two days, the landforms of the Western Regions have gradually changed.

The place closest to Yanmen Pass is actually not much different from that in the pass. Although the wind and sand are very strong and the temperature is much higher than that of Suzhou City where Zuo Yang was before, some trees and jungles can still be seen. Still good, the scenery is also very pleasant.

But now they have completely entered the yellow-gray Gobi, and the wind in the Gobi is much stronger. At this time, Zuo Yang and Mr. Conch are both wearing [masks], but these things are not used to hide their identities. , because they haven't met other players for two days, is it possible to hide their identities in front of those scorpions and poisonous snakes on the Gobi... This is just to prevent sand, because if a gust of wind blows by accidentally, the two of them may Being fed a mouthful of sand, I can't spit it out for a long time. If you want to blame this kind of thing, you can only blame the game design for being too real.

And walking in this environment, their "thirst value" increases significantly faster. Fortunately, they have a total of 10 water bottles, and the 10 water bottles have just been filled with water not long ago, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. The problem of drinking water.

Of course, they can also choose to find a shady place to rest, and the growth rate of the "thirst value" will decrease in the shade, and at the same time, if they don't hurry, the "fatigue value" can also gradually decrease.

But they don't need to do that just yet.

"Haha, big brother, do you know that the vile man is about to envy me to death."

Walking among the badly weathered mountains with strange rocks, Grandpa Conch suddenly burst into laughter... The journey is boring, so he naturally wants to have some fun, such as chatting with friends or something.

"Very evil man..."

Zuo Yang remembered this guy, and he was also in Zuo Yang's friend list.

When I saw Mr. Conch at the burial ground, the two of them were together. Unlike Mr. Conch, Mr. Conch had at least other things, and this vicious man was a more poisonous scenery party.

"That's right, it's this guy. He knows that you brought me to the Western Regions, and you've run so far. His nose is full of envy. No, now he's begging me to say something nice to you, next time Take him with you when you come back."

Uncle Conch smiled from ear to ear, and at the same time sent the content of the chat between him and the vicious man to Zuo Yang.

Zuo Yang was also bored, so he browsed it roughly... The first half of the chat was simply a vicious man’s denunciation of Mr. Conch, scolding Mr. Conch for being meaningless, and he didn’t invite him to come along with such a good opportunity, and the second half was just It turned into flattery, begging Mr. Conch to say something nice to Zuo Yang, and bring him next time. By the way, it would be even better if you could send him some screenshots of the scenery this time so that he can pretend to be aggressive on the forum.

Just when Zuo Yang was looking at the chat records to relieve boredom.

"Brother, there is someone in front!"

Uncle Conch suddenly yelled in a low voice, and then quickly pulled Zuo Yang to hide behind a huge rock next to him.

"!?"

Zuo Yang also glanced forward subconsciously, and sure enough, he saw a dozen people resting under the shade of a boulder.

These people are not players, all of them are NPCs, and they seem to be very disciplined. Among the dozen or so people, seven or eight people are standing in various directions surrounded by them, and their eyes are constantly patrolling around. sentry.

The four or five people in the middle sat on the carry-on luggage to rest.

It's just that, even though Mr. Conch's reaction was very quick, but in the process of pulling Zuo Yang to dodge, those sentry people still looked over, obviously noticed the two of them.

"Don't panic, we have been found."

Zuo Yang smiled and said to Uncle Conch.

"Oh, it's all my fault..."

Uncle Conch said a little annoyed.

"It's okay, meeting an NPC may not necessarily be a bad thing, maybe it's an adventure."

Zuo Yang shook his head and smiled.

At the same time, the NPCs who discovered Zuo Yang and Mr. Conch immediately became alert, especially the seven or eight people on the periphery instantly drew their weapons from their waists.

One of them walked to the middle, pointed in the direction of Zuo Yang and Mr. Conch, and started talking with one of the old men. It seemed that the old man should be the leader of the group, and he was reporting the situation to him.

After a moment.

He must have received some order, and the man led two more people and walked towards Zuo Yang.

　Thank you [Three or Two] Boss for the reward of 500 starting coins.
