Chapter 173 The Treasure Left by Captain Tang Yin
When Wang Meng saw Chen Xiaowan's relaxed expression, he felt happy and quickly continued to break down the other party's inner defenses.
He pretended to show a sad expression, and said with a look of self-blame: "I know that some of my behaviors and work styles over the years have made you and Dr. Lin very unhappy, and even the newcomer Lu Xiaobu joined our team.
, I targeted him everywhere."
"You hate my domineering style, and you don't like me bullying a newcomer. But, have you ever thought about the seniors who died, how many of them died tragically because of the newcomer's ignorance?"
"Every newcomer who breaks away from the dream and joins the adventure team by chance is not grateful. They just want to thank us for saving them. But how do they repay us?"
"Did you forget it so quickly? Why did Captain Tang Yin encounter an invincible and terrifying enemy in the middle of everything he had planned? Wasn't it the self-righteous and damned newcomer who provoked enemies he shouldn't have provoked?"
"It's him, he's the one who provoked enemies for us that we shouldn't provoke."
Chen Xiaowan thought of Captain Tang Yin, who was implicated and killed by the newcomer, and other seniors, and rubbed her short hair irritably.
"What do you want to know?"
She finally compromised. From Wang Meng's excited words, she could hear the strong prejudice against Lu Xiaobu, a newcomer.
Although she was not interested in newcomers, after careful observation by her and Dr. Lin, she felt that Lu Xiaobu was not as ignorant and reckless as other newcomers.
However, as the elder of the team, Wang Meng had to respect the other person's views. Although this view made her sneer, she had to resolve the conflicts within the team, otherwise, the entire team would suffer heavy losses due to Wang Meng's prejudice.
The joy on Wang Meng's face flashed away, and he suppressed his excitement and asked curiously: "What did Captain Tang Yin say to you when he sent us away before he died?"
Chen Xiaowan's eyebrows were raised, and her inner vigilance caused her to half-squint her beautiful eyes. She subconsciously stared at Wang Meng's facial expression, trying to discern something from it.
It's a pity that Wang Meng is familiar with her cautious character, and the two of them have been together for a long time, so how could the other party reveal her truest thoughts so easily?
Wang Meng knew what Chen Xiaowan was suspicious of. In order to dispel the other party's wariness, he continued to persuade:
"The captain has been dead for several months. You have been keeping the secret that was supposed to be kept for a long time! Do you really have to reach the end of our rope and be annexed by other adventure groups before you can tell the secret?"
"We need other inputs to increase our strength. Our small team of four can no longer withstand any casualties, Captain!"
Wang Meng's last and most emotional words of "captain" completely dispelled Chen Xiaowan's last guard.
"Okay! I said."
Chen Xiaowan flipped her short hair around her ears and made a decisive choice.
Perhaps, she should try to trust Wang Meng and tell him the captain's instructions before his death.
Wang Meng's eyes lit up and he looked at Chen Xiaowan expectantly.
"The captain said two things to me at the end!"
"Oh? Those two things?"
"First: He mentioned that the world in the 6th ring is extremely dangerous. There are swarms of zombies here, and they are spawned in dreams. It is not suitable for human habitation at all. The only way to find a place suitable for human habitation is to leave the 6th ring and go to the 5th ring.
Inner realm.”
Wang Meng frowned, "Why is it that the fifth-ring world is extremely safe and suitable for us humans to survive?"
Chen Xiaowan took out the cigarette case from her suit pocket, took out a thin cigarette, held it with her fingers, and lit it without any hurry:
"I asked the group leader the same thing at the beginning. He said that this is a secret passed down by word of mouth among many senior adventurers in the 6th Ring."
Wang Meng nodded slightly and did not dwell on it. He continued to ask: "But how to leave the 6th ring world? We have no direction. You know this."
Not only the "Guns and Roses" adventure team has no direction on this, but most of the adventure teams living in the 6-ring world know nothing about it.
They are exhausted every time they just try to survive in the mission world, so what strength and energy do they have to investigate the way to the fifth ring in the extremely dangerous Elysian City?
An adventure group once tried to do this, but what greeted them was a crazy attack by the local zombie forces in Paradise City.
Even if there were extraordinary strong men among them, they all fell down with hatred.
Chen Xiaowan nodded silently, indicating that she recognized Wang Meng's words, but she couldn't help but said something that shocked Wang Meng.
"But the captain and the others know a way."
"What? Captain, there is a way to leave this damn world?" Wang Meng was shocked and lost his voice.
“Yinquan Hotel!”
Chen Xiaowan hesitated slightly before naming a place name that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Wang Meng.
"Yinquan Hotel?"
"Yeah! Yinquan Hotel."
"How could this be a place like this?"
Wang Meng staggered back in shock and shouted, "How could this be a place like this?"
The Yinquan Hotel is not only well-known among all the adventure groups in the 6-ring world, it is also famous in the eyes of the local elites in Paradise City.
Even for some weddings and funerals, local residents feel extremely honored to be able to entertain guests there.
When Chen Xiaowan said this, she subconsciously turned her head and looked at Lu Xiaobu not far away. The ancient letter that Xiao Bubu had accidentally shown came to mind.
She held the cigarette with her fingers, tapped it gently on the cigarette case, and gave a wry smile:
"The aristocratic invitation that is regarded as the supreme honor by countless adventure group leaders and even the upper echelons of Paradise City will actually fall on a newcomer, but the other party does not know that the treasure is precious. I don't know if it is their 'Guns and Roses' adventure
Tuan feels lucky, or should we envy Little Bubu’s incredible luck?”
Wang Meng recovered from his gaffe and smiled bitterly: "The danger level of the three-star adventure building far exceeds our strength. The number and strength of the extraordinary strong people inside are so far that several major adventure teams have...
We haven’t found out the truth.”
Yinquan Hotel is the gateway to the Five Rings World. It is not a big secret among some high-end adventure groups.
However, it is a semi-open secret that is almost universally known. So far, no adventure team has been able to successfully explore and fulfill the long-cherished wish of countless predecessors, which shows its terrifying difficulty.
"This is no chance. It's clearly just for people to die."
Wang Meng smiled bitterly.
"you do not say!"
Chen Xiaowan held a cigarette in her hand and agreed with approval, "So, I haven't told you about this all this time. It's for the good of all of you."
"When Captain Tang Yin explained this matter, he also warned us repeatedly that we should never risk going anywhere if there is no extraordinary powerhouse in our team."
"Well! I understand the team leader and your hard work."
Wang Meng nodded in approval, finally understanding why this woman, Chen Xiaowan, had been hiding it from them.
He reorganized the language and asked about another secret, "Then what is the second thing about?"
Chen Xiaowan raised her eyelids and looked deeply at Wang Meng. Until her sharp eyes almost pierced Wang Meng, causing him to subconsciously avoid her scrutiny, and then she slowly said: "The second secret is also with
It’s related to Yinquan Hotel.”
"The captain mentioned before he died that the last adventure that all of us participated in actually had two purposes."
"Oh? Two purposes? What are they?"
"The first one is what I just said. The team leader wants to explore a safe passage to the 5th ring. The second purpose is related to the burial location of a secret treasure that they accidentally obtained in the early years."
Wang Menghu's eyes lit up, his breathing became heavier, and he urged excitedly: "Secret treasure? What is it?"
Lu Xiaobu, who had been an audience on the side, his eyes lit up when he heard this. He couldn't help but be curious, and asked: "Secret treasure? What kind of treasure can a modern city have?"
Chen Xiaowan saw that the three of them looked as curious as cats, so she didn't give in and started talking about some scale feathers she had obtained.
A history about the predecessor of Paradise City.
"According to the information I got from Captain Tang Yin, the City of Paradise itself has a long history, but for some special reasons, this kind of metropolis only appeared later."
Chen Xiaowan thought of the precious information Wang Meng gave her about the Skull and Bones Society last night.
If the records in the data are detailed and reliable, it would be consistent with Captain Tang Yin's mention of the history of Paradise City itself when he was dying.
What a person says can be false, and the source of the information he himself may even receive is false.
However, when two pieces of information with completely different origins and purposes are combined and corroborated, and they both point to one thing, then the thing itself may not be false.
"Oh! So that's how it is." Lu Xiaobu looked stunned.
If Paradise City itself has a long history, then before the reinforced concrete building, the predecessor of this bustling city, existed, the historical relics it left behind are definitely still on this land.
Wang Meng didn't hear the news he wanted to hear, and suddenly became impatient, urging anxiously: "What exactly is the treasure left by the leader? How can we get it?"
Chen Xiaowan looked at the impatient Wang Meng thoughtfully, but she did not tell him all the secrets openly as he expected.
She inserted the cigarette into the cigarette case, put the cigarette into the pocket of her suit, stared at Wang Meng, and said meaningfully:
"Now, these things are too far away for us. Just because we want to enter and leave the Yinquan Hotel freely, we need to prepare a lot of preliminary preparations now, so it does not do you any good if you know it now."
The corner of Wang Meng's mouth twitched, and he looked at Chen Xiaowan, who was talking half and half, torturing people for nothing.
He wished he could pry open the head of this shrewd woman like a fox and dig out all the secrets inside, but he knew that he could only think about it.
