False Court
Chapter 28 Observation
But as soon as Sister Wu finished speaking, everyone fell silent. No one was willing to accept Lan Xi. Of course, they weren't stupid, and no one wanted to stick their neck out and object.
Tang Zhi's smile deepened as she watched this scene.
Lan Xi lowered her head in disappointment. Although she had expected this might happen, she still felt terrible.
Seeing that no one spoke, Sister Wu turned to look at a girl.
"Zhuo Li, didn't your team lose three members? How about Lan Xi joining your team?"
Zhuo Li looked aggrieved when she heard Sister Wu's words and replied, "Sister Wu, aren't you just making things difficult for me? I'm already dragging Xiao Yi around, and now you want to add another one? How am I supposed to lead this team?"
Just kidding, who would want to take in someone who betrays their friends for personal gain? Who knows when they'd be sold out.
What's more, they didn't like Lan Xi in the first place. Before the incident, so many boys were always swarming around her, and she always acted aloof and indifferent.
Sister Wu took a deep breath when she heard Zhuo Li's words. Although she was annoyed, she couldn't force Zhuo Li. So she looked at the other sisters present. Every team had lost some members, more or less. They were all applying to her for personnel before, but now they were hiding faster than anyone else.
"Is there no one willing?"
"Sister Wu, don't make things difficult for us. The guild's benefits for those who survive are so good. We don't want to be eliminated for no reason and have to retreat offline to become logistics personnel."
A girl with a more impulsive temper replied without any politeness.
Generally speaking, official members of the guild can receive high salaries for logging in every day, and the more they contribute, the more they are paid. But if they are unfortunately killed, they will be demoted offline, become intelligence gatherers, and receive very little pay.
"I do have a vacancy here, but I don't know if Lan Xi is willing to come."
Tang Zhi suddenly said.
Everyone looked at Tang Zhi in slight surprise. Several sisters asked in confusion.
"Sister Tang Zhi, you want to take her in?"
"I don't want to either, but look how troubled Sister Wu is!"
Tang Zhi looked like she was really considering Sister Wu. She thought to herself, if Lan Xi agreed to join her team, she would have a chance to screw her over. If she didn't agree, then she would look even more pretentious, and everyone would only be more annoyed with her.
Just as Lan Xi gritted her teeth and was about to refuse, Sister Wu said, "No need, your team hasn't lost any members."
Sister Wu wasn't stupid. She knew all about the scheming thoughts of these girls; she had fought her way up like that before.
"It's okay, one more won't hurt."
Tang Zhi replied with a smile.
"No need, since none of you are willing, Lan Xi, you'll follow my team."
Sister Wu turned to Lan Xi and said.
Lan Xi nodded slightly and said to Sister Wu, "Thank you, Sister Wu."
"Alright, everyone, disperse."
Sister Wu said to the many sisters.
The sisters smiled and left without saying anything.
After everyone had left, Sister Wu patted Lan Xi on the shoulder and said to her, "Don't pay attention to what other people think, just work hard. They're not you, they can't understand your suffering."
"I understand, Sister Wu."
"Alright, I have things to do, I'm leaving first."
"Okay."
Lan Xi nodded in response.
Then Sister Wu left.
Lan Xi turned her head and looked around. The guild members were all gone. Although Sister Wu had ultimately taken her in, so she wouldn't be without a team.
But Lan Xi felt extremely uncomfortable. She understood that she had been completely isolated. Among the sisters just now, there were some she used to have decent relationships with, but they hadn't said a word from beginning to end.
She walked to a corner and sat down alone, curling up her legs and burying her head between them.
Tears fell drop by drop. She knew that she had done wrong, but she really had no choice.
If she couldn't survive in the game, all hope would turn into fleeting smoke...
...
A cool breeze blew by, and Lan Xi felt even colder. Her thin body curled up even more tightly.
She didn't know how much time had passed when footsteps approached, finally stopping in front of Lan Xi.
Lan Xi slowly raised her head and saw Su Mo standing in front of her, a trace of panic in his red eyes.
Before Lan Xi could speak, Su Mo coldly extended his hand.
"Drone."
"Oh!"
Lan Xi was slightly stunned, and subconsciously took the drone from her backpack and handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo took the drone, turned around, and left directly.
Lan Xi watched Su Mo's departing figure, her eyes growing dimmer...
On the other side, after getting the drone, Su Mo found a quiet place, plugged in the cable, and started charging the drone.
Don't think this is a safe zone, Su Mo wasn't optimistic at all.
This was a trapped beast's land. One day, monsters would riot, or other accidents would occur, and this place would be finished sooner or later.
He had to find valuable things and equipment as much as possible to constantly arm himself.
Although he still didn't understand the background of this game, one thing was certain: since there were so many monsters beyond common sense here, there must also be corresponding forces to obtain.
It's just that they haven't figured out how to gain power in this world.
Moreover, staying here all the time didn't fit Su Mo's original intention. The reason why he came to a safe place in the early stage was just to recuperate.
Sooner or later, he would have to go out.
But going out rashly would easily get him surrounded, which would be purely courting death, so he needed to explore first.
Under normal circumstances, larger guilds would send out reconnaissance teams to find more valuable places, and then strike out in full force.
This path was impassable for Su Mo, but the drone could replace it.
Su Mo had checked this mobile portable power supply, and it was no problem to fully charge this drone three times.
But the troublesome thing was that the charging time was a bit long, it took a full three hours to fully charge. And the maximum battery life of the fully charged drone was 80 minutes. The safe zone where Su Mo was located happened to be in the city center. Therefore, the drone's activity radius and unlimited signal were enough, basically covering the entire city.
Time passed bit by bit, Su Mo patiently waited for the drone to fully charge, then he unplugged the charging cable and put everything away.
He raised his head and looked around the huge stadium, looking thoughtful.
After a while, Su Mo appeared on the glass roof of the stadium, and he also specially chose a relatively remote corner, where the players below couldn't see him very well.
After everything was ready, Su Mo controlled the drone to take off.
Although the technology in this world didn't seem to have anything new at the moment, judging from its technological products, the quality was still very good.
Su Mo began to comprehensively observe the huge city through the drone.
