Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1157 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, and before she could turn her head to look at who it was, the aroused air flow rushed to her face; The right hand holding tightly to the rope was immediately pulled down by gravity.

Even now that the altitude has dropped by half, the darkness below is still so deep that it makes people panic.The person who rushed over didn't even expect that she would let go as soon as she said she would let go, her figure paused, and in the sound of the wind rushing past her ear, Lin Sanjiu vaguely heard the person startled in surprise: "It's pretty good!" Dare!"

To be honest, she was taken aback by herself too.If she fell from here, even if she had a [Protective Force Field] on her body, it would be impossible not to break a few bones; in her state, I'm afraid she really couldn't bear such a toss.

Numerous iron doors and wall bricks were quickly drawn into phantoms in front of her eyes. When Lin Sanjiu's vision flashed a piece of copper yellow, her arms shot out like lightning, and she grabbed it tightly. The doorknob finally stabilized her body; half of her heart seemed to be hanging in the air above her head, and she was just about to look down to see how high she was from the ground, but her fingers couldn't bear it, and suddenly fell down slipped and fell down again.

Fortunately, she was blocked by the doorknob, and her fall was not so hard. When she fell hard on the ground with a muffled sound, she just fell into the middle of the two high walls; the [Protective Force Field] was hit The white light swayed and flickered erratically, taking off a lot of strength for her. Except for the pain all over her body, she was finally not hurt by the fall.

With the loss of his left hand, it took Lin Sanjiu a few more seconds to regain his balance.She put away her things and stood up, and was about to look where she had come, when she heard a sound of "da da da" footsteps getting closer and closer in the mid-air behind her-looking back, she saw only a black man. Huhu's figure was quickly chasing down from the wall. The arc-shaped wall under his feet was like flat ground to him, and he ran nimbly and freely.

"I just want to talk!" The man shouted loudly when he jumped down, with an uncontrollable excitement in his tone, as if he suddenly found himself winning four numbers in a row while watching the lottery: "No Be safe, climb up quickly!"

"There are people at the bottom,"

Teacher Yi spoke abruptly, and [Consciousness Scanning] spread out in all directions at the same time.Due to her impaired ability, the high wall around her twists and turns like a labyrinth dividing the space into narrow passages. Almost all areas of her perception are dim.In a corner that was not illuminated by small white lights, she could vaguely detect people's low breathing, flashing eyes, and the rustling of cloth... These people were hiding far and near on the bottom floor Among them, some are at a certain corner, and some are several walls away. It is hard to tell how many people there are and where they are.

"I really didn't lie to you, come up!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Sanjiu turned around and rushed forward to a small path, turned around the corner, and distanced himself from the person behind him again.

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, and most of the light reflected from above was blocked by the towering walls.The road she came in was erected with iron arches one after another; crossing this road and looking to the right, you can still vaguely see a small square enclosed by several walls.

In this "maze" composed of trails, there are also small lights with white cotton balls hanging in the same way. They use hard light to dye the passages in a faint white. Although they are not very bright, they can somehow Look around clearly.

She stopped abruptly, pressed her back against the wall, and held her breath.

As soon as the footsteps of the pursuers hit the ground, it was like snowflakes melting into burning coals, leaving nothing but silence.Lin Sanjiu waited quietly for a while, but she still didn't see anyone chasing up from the corner, and then slowly backed away step by step—she walked so slowly to prevent the soles of her shoes from making noise.

The man just now seemed unwilling to chase her in countless alleys. 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.

"The map of the first floor of the general hospital," Teacher Yi read out in her mind. "Look, where is that toll office and affiliated store?"

A printed floor plan is hung in a glass frame, and the road is lined with many thin lines horizontally and vertically, making it look like a circular electronic chip.On one of the trails, a yellow five-pointed star is painted next to the words "You are here".

Lin Sanjiu looked around along the five-pointed star, and found that on the upper left of her, about two roads away, there was a square representing a room, with a line of small words: "toll office and affiliated store".

What a coincidence, just not far from her.

Except for this small square, I didn't expect that the ground floor of this hospital is really complete: there are not only nurses' stations, toilets, management offices, but also cafeterias and duty rooms.

She looked at the map carefully several times, and tried to imprint all the routes she had walked in her memory.She walked cautiously along the way, as long as she heard a little noise, she would stop and observe for a long time - the distance between two roads, but after walking for more than ten minutes, she finally saw a group of two blocks in the distance. The light at the end of the high wall.

The light at the toll office was much brighter than the wall lamp, and it dyed an evolutionary standing at the door with a white border.The man was looking down at something in his palm for a few seconds, then he shook his head, cursed in a low voice, "How dare you ask for four points for such a crap", then turned around and walked away—it seemed that he didn't find anything hidden behind him. Lin Sanjiu in the distance.

After Lin Sanjiu waited for him to leave, it took a while before he stood at the gate 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 that it was more like a small roadside shop: there were not only squeaking electric fans and a freezer full of drinks, but even the staff behind the counter looked like they were relying on A middle-aged shopkeeper with two or three children in a small shop.To say that the only place that makes people feel that it is related to the hospital is probably the white counter.

The man who looked like a shopkeeper raised his eyelids to look at Lin Sanjiu with a listless face.He shaved very carelessly, missing a lot of places, and a few scattered beards protruded lazily on the skin that the razor passed by.

Is this a replica creature?No, this is already a world, that is... the fallen species?

"What do you want to buy?" When she was thinking to herself, the little shopkeeper asked without interest.

"I...well," Lin Sanjiu, who didn't even have a single point on him, approached the snow-white counter and pretended to think about it, "What's here?"

"Have you not read the price list?"

"Oh, that..."

"Yes, that's the one," the shopkeeper interrupted impatiently, a chubby hand fluttered a few times in front of her eyes like a butterfly, as if about to drive her away: "I only sell that The things above. After thinking about what you want, I don’t have the time to accompany women to the mall.”

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 news, how could he be thrown away so easily; she walked away from the butterfly-like hand, cleared her throat, and asked, "If I To ask about the effect of something..."

"It's on the product box." The shop's main board 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 of them in total.

"Can I take a look?" She had already thought about it, and she wanted to take a look at the lava injury recovery ointment first.

"Pay points to buy."

"What I mean is, let me have a look first, and I'll buy it if the effect is right..."

The little shopkeeper stared, and the listlessness just disappeared, as if someone asked to marry his seventy-year-old mother: "Let me show you first? What are you kidding? What if you ran away with my things?"

"I'm sure I'll give you back—"

"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, "Let's go."

The more he drove him away, the more at ease Lin Sanjiu felt.Since entering this hospital, all she met were people who tried every means to get close to her, each with more ulterior motives than the last.

She tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly came up with an idea—no, it's not quite right to say it was an idea, it was more like an inspiration inspired by a doubt.The items on the price list are almost all medical services and medical supplies, so it is reasonable to buy them at the hospital's billing office; but what the affiliated store sells is not listed on the price list.

"Well," she explained, "what I want to buy isn't on the price list. Is this an affiliated store, too?"

"Yes," the shopkeeper glanced at her suspiciously, as if worried that she might pull out a gun and rob him at any moment.

"What's in your affiliate store?"

It seems that she asked the right question. This is a question that a small shopkeeper cannot shirk and must start introducing products.With a bit of discomfort that he had to work, he replied: "That's a lot. Although I didn't show it, but if you want, I can take it out for you at any time... Well, for example, "Player Knowledge Book" ", playing cards, lip balm..."

"Wait, player knowledge book?" Lin Sanjiu asked hastily, "So it was sold in the hospital? How many points?"

"Five o'clock." The small shopkeeper saw the possibility of making a deal at this time, his face gradually began to glow, and his eyes were moist with hope: "Buy it?"

No money.

"I really want to buy it." Lin Sanjiu said sincerely, "But what a coincidence, I don't have any points... Where can I get points?"

The shopkeeper's face was full of disappointment, but he still tried his best: "Do you have anything else on you? No, it's not a special item. For example, if you have any medical supplies from this hospital, I can discount them." Take it back, Ye Luzi can’t come here. Of course, it must be unopened and used.”

"No—you tell me, if I want to earn points, what can I do?" This information must be in the player's information letter, but if you don't know this information, you can't get the information letter, which is really ironic.

The shopkeeper sucked his teeth and thought for a few seconds.

"Do you really want the player's knowledge letter?" He said incorrectly, "If you really want to buy it, there is another way... You should know that a person can live with only one kidney, right?"
