Chapter 1136: Whispers

“If I’m not mistaken, there are quite a few countries in the Soviet Union and there should be more than one language, right?” Mouse asked.

“Yes, the Soviet Union is an alliance of 15 countries, and there are quite a few ethnic groups in each country. Therefore, there are quite a few languages. Russian is the main language of communication, and the government has been working hard to popularize it. However, there are still languages in different places. For example, in Ukraine, where we are now, everyone can speak Ukrainian. Do any of you know Ukrainian?” the doctor asked.

In the end, the players looked at each other, but no one answered.

Even though Zhang Heng had mastered nine languages, there was, unfortunately, no Russian or Ukrainian among them. Just as everyone was staring at each other, Coconut, who looked sleepy, suddenly said, “I have that kind of… tool that can communicate with your mind.”

“What?”

“I’m not joking,” Coconut said as she took out an earring from her pocket. “Here, this is it.”

Just when everyone was overjoyed, Coconut opened her mouth and swallowed the earring.

“What drug did you inject her with?” Mouse angrily scolded the doctor. “Don’t tell me that her mental disorder is also due to nuclear radiation? !”

The doctor’s expression changed slightly as if he thought of something, but he didn’t say anything.

“It’s none of his business.”

Coconut swallowed with difficulty and gulped the earring before she spoke.

Her expression was very calm. Although she looked a little dull under the effect of the tranquilizer and her eyes were lifeless, she didn’t seem to have 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 heaved a sigh of relief. “So you didn’t eat it. Then what was that? Did you do a magic trick?”

“No, the earring is a pair. I swallowed one just now, and there’s another one here,” Coconut said.

“It seems like you still don’t trust us.” The doctor sighed.

“Since everyone dares to come out to play single-player, of course we have to be careful. I don’t intend to harm others, but I don’t want to die for no reason. Furthermore, my current situation isn’t good, and I’m a burden to the team. If I take out a valuable game item at this time, it’s hard to say if people won’t have other thoughts,” Coconut said.

“Then why did you reveal that you have a telepathic item?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Because I’m part of the team, and we’re all on the same boat. Naturally, I want to help the team clear this dungeon. Seeing that everyone is in trouble, and I happen to have a solution, I can’t just sit still,” Coconut said.

“So you swallowed that earring.”

“That’s right, the earring is a pair called Whispers. People who hold Whispers can communicate through thoughts… though there are still many limitations to this. First, both parties need to agree. And just like you sending and receiving messages, you need to focus your mind to convey what you want to say, then accept the other party’s words.”

“You swallowed an 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. In this way, the team won’t be able to leave you behind, right?”

“That’s right. As expected of the number one player, he’s very organized,” Coconut commended.

Mouse was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Coconut’s seemingly irrational actions to actually contain a calm plan.

“I have no objections,” Zhang Heng said. After that, he looked around at the other players in the car. In the end, everyone shook their heads.

The maintenance worker muttered softly, “You’re asking for it.” However, he didn’t say anything else after that.

With Whispers, the matter of finding a translator became much easier.

The crowd didn’t waste any more time. They directly dragged one of the two young nurses who had been knocked unconscious in the inpatient department into the car.

In order to seize every second and buy as much time as possible, the players did not even wait for the young nurse to wake up by herself. Instead, they went to fetch a basin of water. They first put an earring on her ear before pressing her face into it.

Stimulated by the cold water, the young nurse woke up. Then, she saw that she was being imprisoned in a jeep by a group of people. These were the same people who had knocked her unconscious previously.

The nurse wanted to scream, but then she was covered by someone.

So she could only use her big black eyes to pray that the bandits in front of her would find their conscience and 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 and pointed at her head, indicating for her to focus.

However, the young nurse was completely scared silly at this moment. She could not concentrate at all, and her mind was a mess. All her thoughts were busy guessing where this group of people came from and what they would do to her. Her entire body was constantly trembling.

Hence, after trying for a while, Coconut got tired. “No… this coordination is too bad.”

“Do we need to use some tricks?” the maintenance man asked.

“It’s useless. She was scared to begin with. If you scare her again, it will only make things worse. Let’s move on to the next one,” Coconut said calmly.

Thus, Master Kui had no choice but to knock the little nurse unconscious again and drag her colleague over.

The second little nurse looked much taller and bigger. When she was subdued, she still wanted to resist. This was also the reason why the players wanted the first little nurse to be the translator.

Unfortunately, the first nurse’s mental strength was too weak, while the second one was much better.

Coconut took less than five minutes to connect with the girl. She learned that the girl’s name was Besnova, a Ukrainian who came to Pripyat three years ago after graduating school. She became a nurse at the medical center and had no other relatives there except a roommate who shared a room with her. The other was a new boyfriend who worked at the train station as a ticket inspector.

“Tell her that as long as she does as we say, we won’t hurt her, and it’ll be good for her and her boyfriend,” Zhang Heng said.

Coconut closed her eyes and passed the message to Besnova, who quickly nodded in agreement. She was a smart girl, and she could tell that she was no match for these people. Since that was the case, she had to work with them first, that was the only way to save her life.

“Okay, let’s ask her the first question first. There’s a parchment seller in town…” Zhang Heng said.
