Volume 3: Death in Progress Chapter 040 Advanced Death Base
After Zhang Fengyu returned to his room, he first took a nice cold shower. After the stimulation of the cold water, Zhang Fengyu felt that his confused mind and brain were better. After changing into clean clothes, Zhang Fengyu threw himself heavily on the bed.
"I wonder if Xiaoling will lose this memory after this mission? Even though it's fake, my heart still can't calm down and regard it all as a dream."
Zhang Fengyu's mind is now occupied by Xiaoling's figure. After all, Zhang Fengyu thought that he had failed in his mission during that month and was waiting to die. Being with Xiaoling was what Zhang Fengyu considered to be the last time together. Therefore, Zhang Fengyu really tried hard to be with Xiaoling, even though he didn't even know what Xiaoling looked like.
"Alas, let's just treat everything as an extremely real dream. Once you wake up, you will forget it. After all, those two months were all fake."
Zhang Fengyu fell into a deep sleep as he thought about it. There was no threat of death here, no horrible appearance of Xiaoling when he woke up, and no sweet voice of Xiaoling: "Fengyu, you're awake. I've prepared breakfast for you!"
Zhang Fengyu slept for more than twenty hours. When he woke up and looked at the watch, it was already the next day. After eating something simple, Zhang Fengyu walked out of the room.
"all!"
"Is Li Xuan available now?"
"Well, come in!"
After getting Li Xuan's permission, Zhang Fengyu pushed the door and walked in. As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Fengyu couldn't help but show surprise, because the room was empty. Except for a single bed, a small alarm clock, and two wooden chairs, there was nothing else in the room, and there was no decoration at all.
Each room was imagined by the executor. For example, Zhang Fengyu's room had everything. The decoration was no worse than the presidential suite and was even more advanced. After all, this was a rare enjoyment for them. However, Li Xuan's room was really cold to the extreme.
Seeing Zhang Fengyu coming in, Li Xuan pointed to the wooden chair opposite her and said, "Come and sit down!"
"Oh! Thank you." Zhang Fengyu felt that he had lost his composure. He stopped looking around quickly walked over to sit down opposite Li Xuan.
"Li Xuan, no, I should call you Captain Li now!"
"You can call me whatever you want."
"Then I'll call you Li Xuan. Your room is really simple. It's rare to find a girl who likes simplicity like you."
Li Xuan's face didn't waver at all when she heard Zhang Fengyu's words. She conjured up two cups of coffee out of thin air, handed them to Zhang Fengyu, and said to him, "Okay, let's talk business now. I'm in a difficult mood to discuss hobbies with others right now."
"Okay!" Zhang Fengyu smiled awkwardly, with bitterness on his face. Li Xuan was in no mood, and he was even less in mood. He thought that deliberately finding some topics would make it easier to communicate with Li Xuan, but instead he was met with Li Xuan's cold face.
"Let me first talk to you about the position of captain. Captain Wang should have told you about it in general before, but this time I will introduce it in more detail. The prerequisite for obtaining the position of captain is to have completed three wanted missions, and novice missions do not count. However, this is only one of the prerequisites. The other condition is that you must have 20 health points, which means that the position of captain can be exchanged for health points."
"Captains can also be exchanged? Does that mean there can be multiple captains among the executors?"
"Yes, but generally no one is willing to spend the 20 life points they have worked so hard to collect to exchange for it. After all, the captain position you get in exchange is just a qualification."
Zhang Fengyu was a little confused. Seeing that Zhang Fengyu was about to ask, Li Xuan continued, "Although the word captain is the same, it represents two different meanings. For example, my current captain position cannot be exchanged because I am the hub for issuing wanted missions. Maybe one day when you become a captain, you will understand this. I won't explain it to you now. The captains who can be exchanged are different from me. They cannot know the mission prompts in advance, nor can they know some secrets. They just exchanged for a qualification, which is equivalent to upgrading from elementary school to junior high school, or in other words, they only exchanged for an admission ticket for spending 20 life points."
"Wait, let me sort this out. That is to say, there can only be one true captain in the execution team. Although the one who spends life points to exchange for the captain is also called the captain, it only represents a qualification, and that qualification is equivalent to the qualification for the exam. Is that what you mean?"
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant."
Zhang Fengyu drank the half cup of coffee in one gulp. He had already guessed from Li Xuan's words, "Li Xuan, is it possible that the death base we are in is just like an elementary school, and there are advanced death bases above this, like junior high schools, high schools, and even universities?"
Li Xuan looked at Zhang Fengyu with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Yes, that's basically what you mean, but not entirely, because there is only one person above our Death Base. In other words, our current Death Base is equivalent to a high school, and our goal is a university. The captain who spent 20 health points to exchange is our admission ticket."
Although Zhang Fengyu already had a guess in his mind, he still couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard the answer from Li Xuan's mouth. He had never thought that this death base actually had high and low levels.
Zhang Fengyu couldn't help but ask: "What's the difference between that advanced death base and our death base?"
"There are no waves of ghosts in the advanced death bases, which means that we don't have to spend our health points to resist ghosts every three missions. The most important thing is that there is a map in the advanced death bases, and that map is very important to us."
Zhang Fengyu had heard Wang Lin talk about the tide of ghosts before. That is, after the executor completes the task three times in a row, the train will stop, and countless evil ghosts will pour into the carriage from the outside. If you want to survive, you must exchange for a cover that ghosts cannot get into. However, Wang Lin did not explain the details to him.
However, he was already very confused, and now Li Xuan actually mentioned a map, which made Zhang Fengyu even more confused. Everything Li Xuan said now was just like the ascension in the fairy novels. They were just mortals now, and that advanced death base was equivalent to the fairyland, and leaving the curse was ascending to the god world. Could it be that the map that Li Xuan just talked about was their magic weapon to fight against the heavenly calamity?
"Let's talk about the map later. Captain Wang only briefly mentioned the ghost's chaos to me before. I felt like he was deliberately hiding something from me. If you don't mind, you still want to explain this matter to me."
"okay."
