花生琼斯 · 1 Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City
30 Peanut's Mission The next hour was spent studying the map with Mrs M as she worked out a route through the city. "We need you to stay out of sight for as long as possible," she said, "so, in the first instance, I'm going to send you through the Ink District via the Black Mountains. Once you've crossed Inky Lake you can access the Spire via the Strip. It will be easier to keep a low profile when there are more people around. You can blend in. "How will we know that we're going the right way?" asked Peanut. "Well, you'll have the map, for starters. And Doodle will be with you. He knows the city well and the RAZERs won't pay any attention to a dog. He can be your guide."
30 花生的任务 接下来的一小时,M夫人忙着研究地图,规划出了一条穿城的路线。 “我们需要你尽可能一直躲着不被发现,”她说,“所以,我打算先让你们经由黑山,穿过墨水区。 穿过墨水湖之后,你们就能沿着商业街抵达尖塔。 周围人多的时候,更容易藏住行踪不被发现。 你可以混在人群里。 “我们怎么知道走的路是对的呀?”花生问道。 “首先呀,你们有地图在手。 而且嘟嘟会跟着你们一起去。 他对这座城市熟得很,锐泽那帮人根本不会注意一条狗。 他可以当你们的向导。”
Doodle wagged his tail and barked his approval. "We also have a number of Resistance agents that I will contact and brief with regard to your mission. I'll arrange for them to meet you at key points on your journey to help you on your way. I'm afraid I can't give you any more details about these agents at the moment for security reasons. Their anonymity is key to their safety. Know this though: you will have a lot of people rooting for you, Peanut, even if you're not always aware of it. Mrs M pulled the blue pencil from her hair and drew a dotted line on the map. "This is the path you should follow. I will make sure someone is there to meet you on the north bank of Inky Lake to advise you of your next move. You must get
嘟嘟摇了摇尾巴,叫了一声,表示同意。 “我们还有不少抵抗组织的特工,我会联系他们,把你们的任务交代清楚。 我会安排他们在旅途的关键点和你们会合,在路上帮你们一把。 出于安全考虑,我现在没办法告诉你们更多关于这些特工的细节。 不暴露身份是他们安全的关键。 但你要记住:花生,很多人都在为你加油,哪怕你并不总能感觉到。 M夫人从头发里取出那支蓝色铅笔,在地图上画了一条虚线。 “这就是你们该走的路线。 我会安排人在墨水湖北岸等你们,告诉你们下一步怎么走。 你们必须在
there before nightfall." She handed Peanut the map and a small, hand-painted compass. "The good people of. Chroma will thank you for doing this, Peanut. If you do manage to rescue Mr M, our chances of defeating White will be vastly Improved. My husband is a brilliant man. My dad is brilliant too," said Peanut. He'll be happy to help as well, I just know it. "We promise that we'll do our best to bring both of them back with us." "I know you will," said the old lady. Mrs M disappeared through the triangular door and put together a small hamper with enough food to last them for a couple of days. When she returned, she led the gang up the stairs towards the hatch. "Now, promise me you'll look after our new friends, Doodle. I want everyone back In one piece." "Don't worry about us, Mrs M," said Peanut. "We'll be back with your husband before you know it. "And our daddy!" shouted Little-Bit. They waved goodbye, and the four intrepid adventurers set off on their mission.
入夜前赶到那里。” 她把地图和一个小小的手绘罗盘递给了花生。 “克罗玛的 善良人们会感谢你做这一切的,花生。 如果你们能成功救出M先生,我们打败怀特的胜算会大大提升。 我的丈夫是个非常优秀的人。 “我爸爸也特别厉害,”花生说。 他肯定也会乐意帮忙的,我百分百确定。 “我们保证会尽全力把他们两个都带回来。” “我知道你们可以的,”老太太说。 M夫人穿过三角门去打包,整理出一个小篮子,装着够他们吃好几天的食物。 打包回来后,她带着大伙上楼,朝着舱门走去。 “好了嘟嘟,答应我,要好好照顾我们的新朋友。 我要所有人都平平安安回来。” “M夫人,别担心我们,”花生说。 “我们很快就会带着你丈夫回来的。 “还有我们的爸爸!”小不点喊道。 他们挥手道别,四位勇敢的探险家踏上了这项任务的旅程。
