52 Coastal Floating Bridge-Day 5

Acid rain

Yan Lan then made ten ordinary guns without any attributes and placed them in the trading center along with ammunition to see how the market reacted.

The trading center mostly sells food and daily necessities, very few sell weapons, and even rarer sells guns and ammunition. Soon, the players' attention shifted to this.

"This game actually lets you get weapons! That's awesome!"

"That's nothing. Guns already appeared during the Sandman era."

"Back off! I don't want to mention this person. It brings back disgusting memories."

"Let's not talk about him, but firearms and other equipment have only appeared once in our district. Unlike this time, they're being sold in large quantities. According to Yan Lan's habit, as long as there's enough raw materials, there should be a constant supply."

"I really want to buy one. I'll feel safe even if I don't do anything with it."

"Of course not. I just can't afford it. I need blueprints or rare materials."

"I do have a windproof jacket design, but there are so many clothing designs out there right now that I don't think she'd be interested. Hahahaha~"

"You are very self-aware."

…

Li Qingfang happened to see this message when she joined the group.

Firearms? Ammunition?

The group is developing so fast that hot weapons are starting to appear!

She also wanted to have one, so that she would be able to resist if she encountered danger again.

She read the news and immediately became excited.

Ore, she has so much ore!

She felt very frustrated when she was mining. It was not that she couldn't make a fire with coal, nor that she couldn't upgrade the materials, nor that she couldn't fill her stomach with corn fields and fish ponds. But the copy teleported her to the mining area, and she would be at a disadvantage if she didn't mine.

Thinking about it now, I am really grateful to myself for working hard back then.

Li Qingfang sent a private message to Yan Lan through the trading center.

"Hello, I have ore, can I exchange it for a gun?"

Yan Lan was bored as she was putting materials on the table to make a raft, but she immediately perked up when she saw the news.

"Yeah, how much ore do you have?"

Li Qingfang began to look forward to it: "I have a total of 5,000."

"I want them all."

Li Qingfang could fit an egg in her mouth: "So many?"

She actually ate it all in one breath, what a generous person she is.

Yan Lan: "Well, I'll take them all. Besides guns and ammunition, you can also exchange them for other supplies. Is there anything else you want?"

At this point in the conversation, the deal was basically finalized. Li Qingfang couldn't suppress her joy: "I'd like some more food. If you can specify, durian."

She had heard that Yan Lan had a lot of delicious food. After satisfying the basic needs of food and clothing, the desire for food became a higher pursuit.

Yan Lan was not surprised by this request. After a few seconds of thought, she gave a price: "One gun, 200 rounds of ammunition, plus two watermelons, one durian, and 20 apples."

She was given ordinary guns, so it made sense to add these fruits.

"how?"

"No opinion! Absolutely no opinion at all!"

Li Qingfang was extremely happy. She had originally thought that these ores would rot in the backpack compartments, but she never expected to exchange them for hot weapons and so many fruits.

The transaction was completed, and Yan Lan placed the ore separately in a backpack compartment.

The backpack has been expanded twice and now has 20 slots, with a maximum of 5,000 items per slot. If only wooden boxes are placed in it, one slot can accommodate 5 items. Now she doesn't have to worry about space at all.

"Acid rain danger warning! Acid rain danger warning! Acid rain will fall in one hour. All players please cease all outdoor activities and take protective measures and stay indoors. Acid rain will last for 8 hours."

Ji Zhou sent it three times in a row.

Unless they were sleeping at night, players were used to keeping the chat panel floating in front of them at all times. This news soon spread to everyone in the H-38 area.

"Ji Zhou has distributed the prophecy cards, everyone hurry up and act!"

"I'm an environmental protection major, so I'm familiar with acid rain!"

"Acids can corrode your skin, so stay indoors, wear long sleeves and long pants, and avoid rain. If you do get into contact with it, wipe it with a damp cloth, rinse repeatedly with clean water, and finally apply a diluted sodium bicarbonate solution to the affected area."

A player asked: "What is sodium bicarbonate?"

"It doesn't matter what it is. We probably don't have it anyway, so we must stay indoors. To prevent the acid in the acid rain from irritating and damaging the human respiratory tract, it's best to wear a mask."

"As expected of a top student, you know so much."

"Thank you, thank you~"

Yuan Song has been in H-38 area for 5 days. His impression of Yan Lan has changed from a kind-hearted person at the beginning, to an unambitious loser, and finally to a small vendor with some brains.

He has always been competitive and aggressive. After lying quietly in this area for a few days, he finally found a way to be reborn.

He looked excited: "The news of the acid rain must be blocked. All players are forbidden to tell other zones. If anyone violates this..."

"District Chief? District Chief, please tell us the punishment rules. This time, we must keep this secret and strive for first place!"

Yuan Song called Yan Lan several times, and she saw it, but she didn't say anything.

Not only her, but other players were sneaking around and didn't dare to speak.

Ji Zhou knew her personality and immediately expressed his opinion in the group.

"This is the news I predicted. I have no opinion on how you deal with it."

When the source of the news came forward, the players began to express their opinions as if they had received an imperial decree.

"Ji Zhou already said it's up to us to decide how to deal with it, so stop bothering the district chief with punishment."

"Yes, Yan Lan's absence should have made her attitude clear."

"My parents are still in another district. How could I not tell them now that I know the news? Do you think I'll have to see them get hurt with my own eyes?"

"That's right! My son is still in the next district, and I'm going to protect him no matter what."

Yuan Song's heart suddenly collapsed, and he felt extremely aggrieved, as if his original title of number one had been snatched away by someone else.

He said with a look of dismay, "You are a bunch of hopeless idiots! This is a district ranking competition, not a family prize-giving event! How can you sacrifice the collective interest for a little personal sentiment?"

He was going crazy when he thought about giving the first place to someone else.

"First place! First place! As long as we keep this secret, many players will definitely fall for it. As long as their numbers decrease and their points are deducted, we'll naturally climb to first place!"

He has a strong obsession with the first place, but other players don't think so.

"It's just first place. Can I compare to my parents, my son, and my friend of more than ten years?"

Yuan Song was incredulous: "First place? This is a game. There's no such thing as family and friends. Only you come first. Can you wake up?"

"I'm not saying, you're so cold, do you have any family or friends in real life?"

This question really stumped Yuan Song. His parents passed away early, and he had found a wife, but they divorced within a year. They had no children and no contact.

He remembered that his wife said the same thing when she left, saying that he was too cold and unworthy of having family and friends.

Every player has his or her own ideas, and Yan Lan did not interfere. She informed Yang Xiaoyang in the outer area of ​​the news and began to pack up the items outside.

The chairs, benches, and fishing nets had only been put down for an hour or two, and they were empty without a single fish.

She was neither sad nor happy. She put away the fishing net and quickly went into the wooden house with her needs.

Once the door was closed, it was pitch black inside. She once again took out the flashlight that was about to be used for her final resting place, and read the comic book in the faint light.

It’s better to stay in the RV. The space is large, clean and bright. When you are bored, you can watch TV and play games with the controller.

Snowball had no job to kill time and rolled around on his bed out of boredom.

Yan Lan glanced at it and threw a toy car over to it. As long as you pulled the rope at the back of the car, it would run forward. This was the reward she got when she signed in, and it was just enough to entertain Snowball.

Snowball was quite interested at first, but it was too dark inside and he fell asleep while playing.

The same thing happened to Yan Lan. The dim light was no longer suitable for reading, so she simply closed the comic book.

The game panel would light up automatically, and she would browse around the world channel. It turned out that there were many interesting stories on it.

A player said that she went through great pains to find her boyfriend in the world channel, but it turned out that her boyfriend was in this area and she had a new boyfriend.

What's even more ridiculous is that she knows her boyfriend's boyfriend in the real world, and they met through her.

In order to get revenge on her boyfriend, the woman quickly found another boyfriend, but her ex-boyfriend's boyfriend became jealous.

Upon further questioning, it turned out that the ex-boyfriend's boyfriend liked her.

The three of them staged a melodramatic plot of "you love me, I love him, and he loves him" in the post, which made the players laugh.

.

Acid rain arrived half an hour later, and Yang Xue and Su Tong were anxious elsewhere.

Their raft was made of a few wooden boards put together casually, with a piece of cloth simply draped over their heads as a shelter. It was fine in light winds and waves, but once the acid rain came, the low-quality cloth would probably be corroded in less than a minute.

"Sister Xue'er, I'm a little worried. Do you think we will really die here?" Su Tong was young and began to panic when she encountered this irresistible natural disaster.

Ever since Sha Renfan's death, Yang Xue has kept a much lower profile. She has deleted all posts from the world channel and rarely speaks in large groups.

She was wearing gray cloth trousers and a small vest. Her black hair was tied up with a rubber band and tucked neatly into her hat. She was sitting on the edge of the raft, paddling hard with a piece of wood.

Hearing this, he continued to move, staring intently at the front.

"There is always a way out. We will have hope."

Su Tong saved her before, and now it is her turn to take care of Su Tong.

Su Tong was young and weak, but she continued to paddle the water.

She blinked, quickly glanced at Yang Xue, and said in a thin voice: "Sister Xue'er, if... if we can't find the supplies to exchange at the last minute, why not ask Yan Lan to borrow some? She's such a nice person and she's the district chief..."

Seeing Yang Xue's face getting darker, Su Tong silently swallowed the last sentence.

On the day Sha Renfan died, Sister Xue'er and Yan Lan swore that she would no longer rely on men or sell her body for fame, but would survive through her own efforts.

If you don’t rely on men, are you relying on friends now?

Sister Xueer has a strong sense of self-esteem, and she will definitely not go to beg Yan Lan now.

The air fell into dead silence, and neither of them said a word. Su Tong's breathing became lighter. She shouldn't have mentioned this in front of Sister Xueer.

Yang Xue felt mixed emotions and remained silent for a long time before she slowly spoke: "If I really can't find her... I'll go find Yan Lan."

Su Tong nodded gently. She and the other two had bribed the people around him to gather evidence against the Sand Man, and had taken away almost all of their supplies. After the Sand Man's death, all of his supplies disappeared along with him, leaving the two of them with nothing.

From then on, she and Sister Xue'er became poor people with only a means of transportation. They exchanged the treasure chests they obtained for food and daily necessities, and had no extra to exchange for a raft.

Time passed bit by bit, and Su Tong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She kept looking at the time, 10 minutes, 5 minutes...

It's almost time for acid rain to fall.

Sister Xueer hasn't made any move yet, and they haven't found any new treasure chests.

I’m dying! I’m dying!

Suddenly her eyes lit up, she rubbed her eyes, and pointed her trembling fingers forward.

"Sister Xue'er...drill...diamond treasure chest!"

Yang Xue licked the corner of her mouth and quickened her movements. No matter what was inside, this diamond treasure chest was enough to exchange for a raft.

Yan Lan had just finished reading a piece of gossip when a message popped up on her friend panel.

She rarely adds friends. Those who have her contact information are either good friends or people with whom she has had special interactions.

When she saw Yang Xue's message, she raised her eyebrows, as if she hadn't heard from her for a long time.

Yang Xue: "Yan Lan, I want to change the raft. Can you make another one?"

Yan Lan paused for a moment. There hadn't been any players in the group who wanted to buy a raft in half an hour. She thought they all had a place to settle down, so she didn't continue. However, she didn't expect that someone would still contact her.

"Can!"

The acid rain was about to fall in three minutes. She didn't ask what the deal was and started producing it directly on the manufacturing table.

Although one minute is a short time, it is of the essence at this critical moment. As soon as the raft is ready, she will send it over.

After a long moment she asked, "Have you boarded the raft yet?"

Yang Xue: "I'm coming up, Tongtong and I are hiding safely in the house. Thank you, and remember to check the blueprints~"

Yan Lan breathed a sigh of relief and finally had time to look at the drawings that Yang Xue sent her. There were actually two of them!

As soon as she clicked to check, a pungent smell wafted in from the door. It was now acid raining outside.

He found two masks, put one on himself and Snowball, and then looked at the two drawings in his hand.

Her flashlight had run out of power and the room was plunged into darkness. These two blueprints were a real lifesaver. One was a kerosene lamp blueprint: materials metal x 2, gasoline x 1; the other was a flashlight blueprint: materials metal x 2, electronic component x 1.

The light from a kerosene lamp is diffused, making it more suitable for placement in a room. Presumably, the demand for it would be greater, so she was lazy and sent the drawing to Shi Yuanyuan.

Soon two finished kerosene lamps were sent over. They could be placed or hung. When lit, the whole room suddenly became bright.

"This lamp is so effective, I think it will be a big hit!"

Yan Lan looked at Shi Yuanyuan's message and raised her lips: "I think so too. I have the flashlight blueprints here and I'm going to produce some."

"The sales of flashlights will probably be low, so I'll make a few. When I'm done, I can give them to Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang. They're both free and have nothing to do, so they're looking for me to help them make some extra money."

"Okay~"

This suits her perfectly, she will keep the big items in her own hands, but giving these small items to others can save time.

One flashlight every 2.5 seconds. She did 50 and then stopped. She sent it to Shi Yuanyuan and continued reading comics.

The main components of acid rain are carbonic acid and nitric acid. Low pH values ​​can even corrode buildings and stones, not to mention this small wooden house above your head.

When acidic materials fall on wood, a crackling chemical reaction occurs, which sounds scary. Even if players hide indoors, they can't help but worry.

Fortunately, the acid rain did not last long. After 8 hours, normal rain fell.

After being stuck in the small room for a full eight hours, Yan Lan stood up and wanted to go out for some fresh air. When she was about to open the door, she suddenly paused and hurriedly opened the chat group as if she remembered something.

really.

"Oh shit, there are potholes everywhere. I thought everything would be fine once the acid rain stopped, but some residue from the eaves splashed onto me. Now it hurts like hell!"

"Me too, I almost got it in my eyes."

"That professional just said, go flush it with water!"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Wait wait wait, don't use ocean water, it's still very acidic."

"I lost it. Luckily I was slow, otherwise there would have been secondary damage."

Yan Lan also retreated. To be on the safe side, she decided not to touch the sea water until tomorrow morning.
