"If I remember correctly, there are many countries in SL. Russian should not be the only language, right?" Mouse asked.
"Well, the Soviet Union is an alliance of 15 countries, and there are many ethnic groups in each country. Hence, there are many languages. Russian is the main language of communication, and the government has been working hard to popularize it. However, local languages are also preserved everywhere. For example, in Ukraine, where we are now, everyone speaks Ukrainian. Do any of you know how to speak Ukrainian?" the doctor asked.
The players looked at each other, and no one answered.
Although he had mastered nine languages, it was a pity that Russian and Ukrainian weren't among them. Just when everyone was staring at each other, no one expected Coconut, who looked sleepy, to speak. "I have that … item that allows me to communicate telepathically."
"Huh?"
"I'm not kidding," Coconut said as she took out an earring from her pocket. "Here, this is it."
Just when everyone was overjoyed, no one expected Coconut to open her mouth and swallow the earring.
"What did you inject into her?!" Mouse shouted angrily at the doctor. "Don't tell me she is insane because of the nuclear radiation!"
The doctor's expression changed slightly when he was scolded by Mouse. He seemed to have thought of something, but he said nothing.
"It's none of his business."
Coconut swallowed a mouthful of saliva and the earring into her stomach with difficulty, then said.
Her expression was very calm. Although she appeared to be a little sluggish under the effect of the tranquilizer, and her eyes were dull, it seemed that she had not lost her basic ability to think. After that, she stretched out her uninjured hand and opened it.
Mouse saw the earring on her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. "So you didn't eat this thing. What was that just now? Did you perform magic?"
"No, the earring is a pair. I swallowed one just now, and there's another one here," Coconut said.
"It seems that you still don't believe us." The doctor sighed.
"Since everyone dares to play solo, of course, it's better to be careful. I don't mean to harm anyone, but I don't want to die without knowing why. Besides, I'm not in a good condition now, and I'm a burden to the team. If I take out a valuable item at this time, it's hard to guarantee that no one will have other intentions," Coconut said.
"Then why did you reveal that you have a telepathic item?"
"That's because I'm a member of the team. We're all in the same boat. Naturally, I want to help the team clear this dungeon smoothly. Seeing that everyone is in trouble, and I happen to have a solution, I can't just sit still and do nothing," Coconut said.
"So you swallowed the earring."
"That's right. The earrings are a pair called 'Whisper'. The owner of the 'Whisper' can communicate through their thoughts, but there are many limitations to this. First, both parties need to agree. Just like when you send and receive text messages, you need to concentrate on conveying what you want to say and then receive the other party's words."
"You've swallowed one earring, so as long as you give the other earring to the 'translator' we're looking for, you'll be able to talk to him. That way, the team won't be able to leave you, right?"
"That's right, as expected of the number one player. Clear thinking," Coconut praised.
Rat was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Coconut's seemingly irrational actions to be accompanied by such calm planning and thinking.
"I have no objections," Zhang Heng said. Zhang Heng said. After that, he looked at the other players in the car, and all of them shook their heads.
"You're asking for it." The maintenance worker muttered under his breath, but he didn't say anything else after that.
With the 'Whisper', it became much easier to find a translator.
Without wasting any more time, they dragged one of the two nurses who were knocked out in the inpatient department into the jeep.
In order to race against time and buy as much time as possible, the players didn't even wait for the nurse to wake up on her own. Instead, they fetched a basin of water, put the earring on her, and pressed her face into it.
The nurse was stimulated by the cold water and woke up. Then, she saw that she was imprisoned in a jeep by a group of people. These people were the ones who knocked her out earlier.
The nurse subconsciously wanted to scream, but then someone covered her mouth.
So she could only pray with her big, black eyes that the robbers in front of her would let her go home. However, her beautiful wish was destined to fail.
The nurse saw a woman with slightly swollen lips in front of her. She pointed at her head, signaling her to focus.
However, the nurse was completely terrified at this moment. She couldn't concentrate at all, and her mind was a mess. All she could think about was where these people came from and what they were going to do to her. Her whole body was trembling non-stop.
After trying for a while, Coconut got tired and said, "No, the compatibility is too poor."
"Do you need to do something?" the maintenance worker asked.
"It's useless. She is already frightened. You will only make things worse if you scare her. Let's change to the next one," Coconut said calmly.
So Kratos had no choice but to knock the nurse out again and drag her colleague over.
The second nurse looked much taller and bigger. When she was subdued, she tried to resist. That was why the players wanted the first nurse to be their translator.
Unfortunately, the former's psychological quality was too poor, while the second nurse was much better.
It took Coconut less than five minutes to connect with the girl on the other side. She learned that the girl's name was Besonova, a Ukrainian. After graduating from school three years ago, she came to Pripyat and became a nurse in the medical center. She had no other relatives here, only a roommate she shared a room with, and a new boyfriend who worked at the train station as a ticket inspector.
"Tell her that as long as she does what we say, we won't hurt her. It will also be good for her and her boyfriend," Zhang Heng said.
Coconut closed her eyes and passed these words to Besonova. The latter quickly nodded and agreed. She was a very smart girl, and she could tell that she was no match for these people in front of her. In that case, she could only cooperate with them first. That was the only way to save her life.
"Okay, ask her the first question first. Where in town can I buy parchment?" Zhang Heng asked.
