Ning Mianmian said calmly: "What a coincidence, we prepared some banknotes because of the activities of the university club, and I don't know what they are for."

"Students, there are always a lot of tricks." The short-haired girl smiled, "Let's not talk about it, I'm going to help."

Ning Mianmian thanked her politely before returning to her teammates.

She looked up at Lin Cen, and said in a low voice, "Sister, there are many other players inside."

The "crowds of young people holding cash" mentioned by the staff just now cannot be locals. The No. 7 plane she lives in is not as advanced in technology as here, but electronic payment has become quite popular, and almost no one will take cash. Use paper money to buy goods.

And the time card is so good, it happened to be half an hour since they entered the instance, so those who entered must be gamers.

Ning Mianmian was secretly startled. The instance she participated in before had the largest number of people in [Hunting Moment], with a total of 200 people in it.

But she temporarily estimated the number of people who did not appear in the instance. The scale of the city is so large, it is likely that this area is not the only place where players refresh.But when they entered a shopping mall at random, they met dozens of players.If you think about it at worst, there may be hundreds or even thousands of players here.

That number, combined with the disaster backdrop, really sends a chill down the spine.

Lin Cen saw her worry, and gently stroked her back with his fingers, "It's okay, don't worry."

Her palm still carried the familiar warmth, which immediately dispelled a lot of the worry in her heart.

Fluffy was also a little worried, and asked in a low voice: "Why don't we go to a small supermarket to buy things, the probability of bumping into players here is too high, so don't reveal your identity so early."

Love shook his head: "No, the supplies in large shopping malls are much more complete than those in small supermarkets, and we don't know when the disaster will strike. It would be bad if changing places delays the best time to escape."

So several people decided to make a quick decision. Rongrong and Love were arranged to meet at the exit of the supermarket, while the others entered quickly to collect useful things.

Of course, the funds of Love and Fluffy were also divided up by the other three and brought in to buy things. After all, when the disaster strikes, these banknotes are likely to become a pile of waste paper.

After entering the supermarket, the three of them looked around. Sure enough, there were quite a few young players who looked like gamers, all of them hurriedly pushing shopping carts, quickly buying food and daily necessities.

Noticing the entry of the three of them, several people raised their heads to look at them, and went on to buy products. After all, now is not a good time for conflicts.

Jiang Wan said, "Go and buy food and water."

She raised her hand slightly, and a small dagger appeared in her palm, and she pinned it around her waist.

Ning Mianmian was startled, Jiang Wan must be going to fight with someone.

She asked worriedly, "What about you?"

Jiang Wan said, "I'll go upstairs to see if there's anything else I can use."

Lin Cen nodded, "Okay, buy a map if you have one."

Jiang Wan said, "I know, don't worry."

Seeing their calm expressions, Ning Mianmian was relieved a lot, so she followed Lin Cen to the food section. After a quick inspection, she found that the price of the food here is quite affordable. purchasing power is about the same.

So she quickly selected some fast food, including instant noodles, ham sausage, bread, self-heating rice and so on.She also specially bought a box of chocolates so that they can replenish energy at any time.

Lin Cen did not express any objection to her decision, chose some cheap fruits, and put several boxes of mineral water into the shopping cart.

When the two of them went to the exit to check out, Jiang Wan also came down from the second floor in a hurry.

Jiang Wan showed the shopping basket in his hand to the two people, and said, "Map, the name of this city is Xingyun City."

After a pause, he said, "I haven't found anything else useful for the time being."

The people on the master list are regulars who often download dungeons. Items such as flashlights and tents have already been prepared in the backpack. Since the dungeons are not restricted, it saves a lot of trouble and there is no need to buy them again.

Several people went to the cash register to pay. Due to a sudden failure, only two cash registers were opened in the huge supermarket, and because everyone bought a lot of things and they all used cash, the checkout speed was a bit slow, and the queue was slow. Two long lines.

The line in front of Ning Mianmian was also a group of people. The leader was a slender man with handsome features, who looked to be in his 20s.He stood in a very casual posture, with two shirt collars undone, and there was no trace of panic on his face.

There are three people standing behind him, all young girls, timid, looking left and right from time to time, it seems that they are novices who have just played.

Ning Mianmian heard one of the girls with ponytails ask the man nervously in a low voice: "Qingshan, there is a young lady behind me who just looked at me a few times, maybe she wants to hit me."

Ning Mianmian: ...

She didn't look at it on purpose, but these people were right in front of her, so it was hard for her not to look at them.And the ponytail girl's voice was so loud, she heard it all.

The man called Qingshan turned his head and his eyes fell on Ning Mianmian.Ning Mianmian looked at him innocently, the man smiled lightly, as if saying hello, then turned back and said to the girl, "Don't think too much, they're queuing."

The ponytail girl breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

When it was the turn of the front line to check out, Qingshan looked at the cashier who was counting the goods, and asked casually: "What's going on recently, is there always something wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several eyes immediately looked around.

Qingshan asked this question very cleverly, he only asked why things always happened, but he didn't say what happened.And the cashier has work on hand, so she'll automatically say the first thing that comes to mind.

And the first thing in the subconscious mind should be relatively important and happened recently.

Ning Mianmian and the others also quieted down, intending to listen carefully to the other party's answer.

Qingshan and the others bought too many things, the cashier was busy counting the goods, without raising his head, he said: "Who says it's not, the water has been retrograde everywhere recently, bad luck one after another."

Qingshan smiled and said: "It's really hard to suffer when there is a problem with the trading system."

The cashier said: "Not only this, but also more headaches."

Qing Shan was surprised: "What else?"

He curled his lips, and there was a slight smile in his narrow eyes, and his tone seemed to be gossiping with a friend.

The cashier asked curiously, "No way, you haven't heard of it at all?"

Qing Shan looked at her with sincere eyes, "We are tourists from other places, we just came here."

The cashier felt inexplicably fond of it, and said like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube: "Last week, halfway through the online exam at the school next door, the network suddenly went down, and it couldn't be adjusted anyway. The national unified exam was delayed just like that. There was no way to make up the exam, and the students and parents were so angry that hundreds of people went to the school gate to make trouble for several days."

"Later, things became more and more troublesome. The school leaders transferred two of them to calm the public outrage. Then, guess what, the Internet was suddenly cut off during an exam yesterday, which was both annoying and funny."

Qing Shan listened with gusto: "What else?"

The cashier thought for a while, "Also, there are so many people in the hospital recently. I didn't feel well yesterday to go for a checkup, and I queued for more than an hour. Everyone said that it's not peaceful for a while, so you should be careful."

After the cashier finished speaking, he packed Qingshan and the others' things and handed them over, "Welcome next time."

Ning Mianmian thought about it. In fact, the transaction system failure and the teaching accident that the cashier mentioned just now were essentially problems with the circuit and network. Could it be that some celestial body movement affected the magnetic field.She had already begun to mentally imagine the mushroom cloud that would have been created when the asteroid hit the planet.

But if it was really an asteroid impact, wouldn't they be unable to survive no matter how hard they struggled?

When it was Ning Mianmian's turn to check out, perhaps because they had talked too much with Qingshan just now, the cashier didn't talk too much, but just pushed the packaged goods over, "Welcome next time."

Ning Mianmian and the others paid the money, found an empty corner and put the purchased goods into their backpacks.

This trip had enough food and water for them to use for five days. Except for Jiang Wan, the others almost used up all their cash, leaving only a few coins.Jiang Wan left part of the money, one is to find a place to buy some newspapers, and the other is because he doesn't know what the disaster is, so it's better to have some cash just in case.

The outdoor sky is still as blue as washing, with sporadic white and fat clouds floating in the air like cotton candy, which is the most common good weather.

Vehicles pass by on the street, people are in a hurry, they are all busy with their own affairs, and it is peaceful.

They collected enough supplies before the disaster came, and looking at the atmosphere around them, it really didn't look like something big was about to happen.

Ning Mianmian's spirit couldn't help but relax a little, she was already fantasizing about the moment when she stepped out of the shopping mall, or a little bit unlucky, the moment before, suddenly the scene of the sky collapsing and the volcano erupting.

But none of this happened, and instead made her a little uncomfortable.

Rongrong asked the others: "Where are we going now?"

Lin Cen looked at the surrounding teams who obviously had just come out of the mall, and said, "Find a quiet place to talk."

Jiang Wan opened the map, glanced quickly, "Follow me."

The crowd followed Jiang Wan to a narrow alley beside the street.

Walking along the alley all the way, and turning another corner, Jiang Wan stopped, "Here it is."

There seemed to be no one walking on this road, the walls on both sides were damaged, and there were a lot of messy debris piled up on the side of the road.The pavement has been in disrepair for a long time, and several pieces of the floor tiles are cracked.

Love looked at a few weeds protruding from the cracks in the road, and sighed: "Look for a quiet place to talk, I thought I would go to a coffee shop or something."

Ning Mianmian and the others have long been used to Love's coquettishness, and no one expresses any objection. Anyway, Love just talks every time, which is very reliable.

Only Jiang Wan looked at her suspiciously, "Insufficient funds, it's not suitable."

Love realized it all at once, and said calmly: "Indeed, the main reason is that Fluffy is more playful, and sometimes she will make a fuss about going shopping in the dungeon."

Fluffy: ...?

She really wanted to tell Jiang Wan the truth, but when she thought about her salary, she finally gave Love a bitter look and turned the blame away, "That was before, I'm tired of playing now, and I want to find an honest man."

Love was amused, and pinched her face, "You learn this every day when you go online?"

Fluffy knocked her hand off, "You are so annoying, you..."

"Okay, okay." Ning Mianmian held his forehead, interrupting the fight between the two, "The disaster is coming, let's get down to business!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps not far away.Several people's expressions changed, and they looked up one after another.

A thin figure broke into the field of vision, it was a girl in a panic.

She looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and her clothes were dusty and dirty.The trousers were also torn, as if they had accidentally fallen down.The hair around the ears was soaked with sweat and stuck to the side of his face.

The girl didn't expect to meet so many people when she turned a corner. She was startled, turned around and wanted to run back, but at this moment, she heard faint footsteps behind her, and it seemed that there was more than one person.

Ning Mianmian frowned slightly, looking at her posture, is someone chasing her from behind?

When the girl heard the footsteps, a anxious expression appeared on her face. She gritted her teeth and ran towards Ning Mianmian and the others.

However, she seemed to be exhausted, and she fell to the ground with a flick of her figure before she ran in front of them.
