Chapter Twelve
Du Le is now very depressed. Although he narrowly escaped a disaster, he has inevitably fallen into an even greater predicament.
Although the teleportation was very smooth and his physical condition was good, he should also be considered safe, but what was extremely improper was that, apart from the cloth bag in his hand, Du Lequan's body was not wearing a single piece of clothing.
Ah... Ah-choo! Du Le couldn't help but let out a few sneezes, rubbing his slightly itchy nose, and couldn't help but bitterly smile.
At night, there was no time to think too much, Du Le relied on his good night vision ability to take a rough look at the surrounding environment.
Du Le is now in a small alley, with walls on both sides, and houses inside the walls, which seem to be old antique tile-roofed houses. Du Le can't see very clearly, but judging from the style, he should still be in the country, at least he has left the train station.
It's okay, now the sky is quite dark, so no one should notice that I'm not wearing clothes. The chill made Du Le huddle with his hands wrapped around him, while secretly thinking to himself (it's not that he didn't want to cover up down there, it's just that he was too cold to do anything about it!)
All Du Le had on him was a cloth bag, and he truly didn't have any other items. Du Le checked the contents of the cloth bag's space and found that nothing was damaged; he should have known to stuff a few sets of clothes in there earlier.
Thinking of this, Du Le discontentedly said to the helpful spirit in his mind, "Why didn't you tell me that my clothes would disappear during transmission..."
"During transport, the transporter can only protect the person and space-time continuum being transported, not external objects; this is common sense during transport, it's not necessary to explain in the manual of the positioning transporter."
It's pointless to complain to an unfeeling program, might as well just leave it alone. Anyway, I shouldn't go looking for trouble myself either. Guess I'll just have to find something to wear quickly, it's really quite chilly today.
Du Le cautiously approached a wall, looking for a back door or a lower wall. He planned to steal a set of clothes to wear, otherwise he would be mistaken for an exhibitionist and taken away by the police, which would be indefensible.
Oh no, just a few steps away, Du Le's toes were tripped and almost fell to the ground.
"What the...!" Du Le stumbled a few times before finally steadying himself, and said with annoyance. Feeling like he had stepped on something soft, Du Le crouched down in place, using the faint light from outside the alley to slowly adjust his vision, and saw a terrifying scene that made him scream.
There was a person lying on the ground, an icy-cold person. Du Le was so frightened that he fell backwards and landed on his buttocks. The feeling of his hands touching something made Du Le even more terrified, there was someone behind him...
Although Du Le was not a coward, he couldn't help but feel scared. Suddenly, Du Le looked around again and found that there were more than one or two people lying on the ground in the alley, and they all seemed to be cold as ice.
Shouting and yelling is out of the question, Du Leke doesn't want to get involved in a homicide case, he just wants to leave this alley as soon as possible.
Du Lezheng was about to leave when he stepped on a hemp-wrapped package beside him.
Du Le subconsciously went to search. He didn't dare to strip the dead man's clothes, and he was even more afraid of leaving any traces that would arouse suspicion, so he could only pin his hopes on other possibilities.
Unexpectedly, Du Le actually found a piece of clothing in the package, but these clothes were a bit awkward, like some traditional long gowns worn by people in remote mountainous areas. Without thinking much, Du Le picked up the clothes and put them on his body.
Dule felt a little more at ease after putting on his clothes. There were several dead bodies in the alley, and Dule found some packages one after another, feeling that these people seemed to be refugees. However, it was dark in the alley at night, and he couldn't see clearly.
Forget it, let's just leave this place quickly, Du Le took a strip of cloth and tied up his clothes, then pulled his legs and ran.
As he walked out of the alley, it was a street. With the moonlight in the sky, his line of sight became much clearer, Du Le slightly let out a breath and subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Two moons? Du Le was stunned, and in the sky there were indeed two moons, one yellow and one blue, one round and one curved.
Where on earth did he get transported to?!
Before Du Le could react, a team of torches came from afar at the corner of the street, and in the quiet night, it was especially sudden.
Facing the unknown, it's better to be cautious. Du Le naturally chose to hide in his heart. However, Du Le couldn't retreat back into the alley, so he could only crouch down and hide under a roof corner on the side of the street.
As they got closer, Du Le slowly made out a group of about twenty people, carrying torches in front and back, walking slowly towards them. With the light from the torches, Du Le saw more clearly that this group of people was dressed in ancient soldier uniforms. The two men at the front were holding swords, while the people behind them all had long spears, looking exactly like a group of ancient soldiers on patrol.
If it weren't for running into a dead person earlier, Du Le would have really thought he had accidentally entered the set of some ancient costume drama.
Du Le's heart was a bit panicked, and he shrank his body into the corner, hoping to hide.
The flames flickered, the patrolling soldiers didn't stop, nor did they notice Du Le in the corner. From afar to near, and from near to far, they walked further and further away until the moonlight once again enveloped the entire street.
At this time, Du Le felt that he had arrived in a strange place, and it was even possible that it was a strange space-time. He never thought that the fantastic ideas from TV movies and comics would become reality, and he was right in the middle of it.
It seems that if he moves on his own, there might be a lot of trouble, so Du Le began to think about the way out in his heart.
Du Le looked up at the two moons in the sky again and asked the helper spirit, who was also certain that it didn't know about this transmission point.
The only good news from the helpful sprite is that in this place, the energy absorbed by the locator transmitter within a fixed time has doubled. What was originally 24 hours for a round trip recharge has become 12 hours for a round trip recharge.
Du Le didn't know where he was now, but before on Earth, he thought he should have completed a recharge, which included the positioning transmitter and another return energy. Who would have thought that the helpful spirit told him that one recharge was only for backup in case of transmission to places with insufficient energy, and there was also an emergency return energy. Moreover, after one transmission, the positioning transmitter needed six hours of buffering to recover to its best state before it could be transmitted again.
What's even more unexpected is that the last option in the positioning transmitter, after upgrading, actually displayed a data frame showing that the transmission experience had reached 1%. Previously, Du Le had paid attention to this and had also asked the helper spirit, who replied that upgrading required connecting the positioning transmitter to the official website of Lainei Technology Company. This time, the upgrade experience obviously didn't match what the helper spirit said.
Helping the elf also can't make sense, always prompting that there is no answer in the database. It doesn't matter, Du Le has plenty of time to understand it slowly by himself later. Things he didn't understand, Du Le wouldn't waste his energy thinking about them either, as long as they were in his head and he was safe for now, that's all that mattered.
At this moment, Du Le didn't withdraw either, he could only wait quietly. After the buffering ended, he would transmit and leave. At least the positioning transmitter could still be used six hours after it was set, thinking of this, Du Le's tense spirit finally began to relax.
Du Le's mind and spirit relaxed, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of drowsiness wash over him. Before long, his eyelids grew heavy and slowly closed.
