57 Coastal Floating Bridge - Day 7

◎Capsule cabin◎

"That was a close call! My raft's defense value dropped to 0, and I was almost finished. If you hadn't sent me the bullets in time, I would have been in great danger."

Yan Lan's heart tightened, and she quickly asked with concern, "Did you encounter any difficult situation?"

Yuan Zhou, far away on the other side of the game map, dragged her exhausted body slowly towards the small yet cozy room on the raft. She slumped down on the bed, as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She could only rely on her weak willpower to slowly recover on the game interface.

"Yeah, it was a nightmare. I encountered a group of water ghosts. They had human heads and ghost bodies, and they were hideous and terrifying. They were like a group of ferocious beasts, tearing at my raft crazily. I didn't even dare to attack their faces at first!"

As Yan Lan listened to the description, those horrific scenes involuntarily emerged in her mind, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Yuan Zhou.

"Oh, by the way, after I eliminated those water ghosts, they dropped a lot of supplies. I've given them all to you. See if you need anything."

After Yuan Zhou finished speaking, she sent all the spoils that she had no time to look at carefully to Yan Lan without thinking too much. After all, in her opinion, Yan Lan's bullet saved her life, which was more precious than any supplies.

Yan Lan didn't hesitate to open the pictures one by one, checking them out and accepting any that she liked. The ones in front were all small items, so she didn't accept them.

However, when her eyes fell on a drawing, her pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly.

[Capsule Cabin Blueprint (Permanent): The key to building a dream home. Required materials: Metal x 5000, Electronic Components x 3000, Stone x 8000, Glass x 3000, Wood x 2000.]

She could hardly believe her eyes and replied excitedly,

"Yuan Zhou, look at this! It's a blueprint for a capsule cabin, and it's permanent! This is incredible!"

Yuan Zhou, meanwhile, was resting with her eyes closed, not paying much attention to the supplies being sent out. Upon hearing Yan Lan's exclamation, she curiously opened her eyes and saw the detailed information and required materials marked on the blueprint. Surprise crossed her face.

"Fuck, this is a capsule!"

This is something even more advanced than the raft blueprint. No wonder she was surprised. Even Yan Lan took a while to recover.

"But will this be useful? We still have to find the RV after finishing this map." Yuan Zhou said worriedly.

Although Yan Lan had the same consideration in her mind, it did not prevent the fact that this was a rare blueprint and it would come in handy one day.

Like now.

After upgrading her bound vehicle from a simple cart to a luxurious RV, she no longer needed upgrade materials. However, she continued to trade supplies diligently, accumulating a large amount of precious upgrade materials. Her 20-slot backpack was completely filled, and whenever she needed to use it, she would inevitably have to frantically search for it.

Fortunately, these upgrade materials are exactly the same as those needed to make the capsule.

She quickly pulled out the manufacturing table, and the cold machine seemed to come alive. Without hesitation, Yan Lan dumped the mountain of upgrade materials onto it. The table seemed to open a massive mouth, swallowing up the materials in an instant, leaving only emptiness and anticipation.

The house capsule required too many materials, and several slots in her backpack were emptied in an instant.

After putting the materials in place, Yan Lan added 5 [Additional Attributes] functions in succession.

This time it will take 10 minutes, which is five times the time it takes to make a raft. The manufacturing time is related to the complexity of the item. Yan Lan couldn't help but look forward to it.

Ten minutes later, a thumb-sized capsule appeared on the manufacturing table.

[Capsule cabin: area 30 square meters, protection level: 5000. ]

She picked up the seemingly ordinary capsule lightly and waved it gently. Suddenly, a white "mushroom cloud" bloomed in the open space in front of her - in fact, it was a delicate and small mushroom-shaped tiny building.

The door of the house opened automatically, facing Yan Lan who was full of expectation. She smiled and stepped into this little world that belonged to her.

The house has a compact and practical layout, with a large single room with a bathroom. The main interior color is white, and there is an extra-large floor-to-ceiling window, making the space clear and bright.

The materials used include wood and stone, so the room is furnished with a wooden bed and a wooden wardrobe.

What is even more amazing is that the entire room uses a large amount of glass and electronic components. It is not only equipped with a complete circuit system, but also has carefully installed shower equipment and water heaters in the bathroom.

Yan Lan was very satisfied with it. It was worthy of the high price she spent to produce it.

She excitedly took a few photos around the capsule and shared them with Yuan Zhou, along with a few beautiful photos. At the same time, she didn't forget to restock her with 100 rounds of ammunition. This capsule blueprint was too precious, and she felt that these 100 rounds were not enough.

After looking around the room, Yan Lan walked out of the capsule. She decided to move the simple mattresses and bedding from the raft into the capsule. After all, who would want to sleep on a rickety raft when they had such a nice house?

Just as she was about to go out, Snowball flew over in a panic, his eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Snowball only panicked in emergencies, and her heart was in her throat as she hurried forward.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Snowball pointed his paw into the distance. Yan Lan followed his direction and saw a huge sailboat slowly approaching on the originally calm sea.

The sailboat's massive hull, constructed of iron, seemed exceptionally sturdy; its black canvas fluttering in the wind added a touch of mystery. Most striking was the group of men standing on the apex of the sailboat, armed with swords and menacing in appearance, clearly harboring ill intentions.

We found a small island where there was no wind or waves, it was safe and comfortable, and we could spend the remaining days in peace.

This is what Yan Lan thought.

The reality is...

She caught a glimpse of the menacing black ship and her heart aroused alarm. She immediately and decisively activated the recovery function of the capsule and quickly put it back into her backpack.

Then, she moved swiftly and put all items that might reveal her whereabouts, such as the raft, crafting table, and lounge chair, into the backpack compartment one by one to ensure that no trace was left at the scene.

After completing all this, Yan Lan didn't hesitate for a moment, dragging Snowball into the coconut grove and hiding behind a thick tree trunk. The island was limited in size and lacked large shelters, making it difficult for her to hide for long, but at least she could temporarily avoid the enemy's sight.

The ship stopped at a safe distance from the island and began to slowly approach the shore.

Yan Lan was not in the front of the ship, which bought her some precious time, but sooner or later this group of people would discover something strange on the island.

In order to better grasp the enemy situation, she quickly borrowed a pair of binoculars from Xiao Hei. Using the cover of the coconut grove, she carefully stuck her head out and began to carefully observe the burly men who walked down from the ship.

This group of people were dressed uniquely, with fine braids, swords and guns hanging from their bodies, and black turbans wrapped around their heads, looking both fierce and mysterious.

From the logo on the headscarf, Yan Lan quickly determined that this was an organized gang, or more accurately, a group of stinky pirates.

Yan Lan tried to stay calm and closely tracked the pirates' every move with a telescope, trying to get more useful information from it.

The telescope's lens swept across the pirates' faces one by one. When it scanned a certain figure, Yan Lan's heart skipped a beat.

That rugged and familiar face, even with the pirate's unique black turban, could not hide its identity - it was Captain Jack whom she risked her life to rescue yesterday.

The camera continued to move, and she found that in addition to Captain Jack, there were four other crew members in the team whom she had seen before, and they were also dressed in pirate costumes.

Captain Jack looked extremely excited at the moment. He pointed in the direction of the coconut grove and talked to the blond and blue-eyed man beside him. Although Yan Lan could not hear their conversation, based on Jack's body language, she guessed that the topic was probably related to herself.

A complex emotion surged in her heart, a mixture of surprise and confusion.

As the last pirate stepped steadily onto the island, Yan Lan estimated through the telescope that there were at least thirty pirates on the island, and each of them was well-equipped, with swords and guns flashing coldly in the sunlight.

What worried her even more was that there seemed to be people standing guard on the ship, which meant that their number was far greater than that.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, Yan Lan made a quick judgment, knowing that a head-on confrontation was not a wise move, especially when the enemy was numerous and well-equipped.

As Captain Jack led the pirates closer to the coconut grove, Yan Lan made a quick decision.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and then slowly walked out from the edge of the coconut grove with a seemingly leisurely but actually carefully planned pace, as if she had just encountered this group of uninvited guests by chance.

The pirates, alerted by the noise, raised their guns and aimed them at the unexpected intruder. Their movements were swift and coordinated, revealing the tacit understanding and professionalism cultivated through long training.

Faced with this sudden tense atmosphere, Yan Lan remained calm on the surface, but was quickly thinking of a response strategy in her heart.

She raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, with a smile on her lips, and her eyes gently turned to Captain Jack - a man who was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

"Captain Jack, what a coincidence! Where have you been? I woke up this morning and found the camp empty. I was quite worried, afraid that you might have encountered some trouble. Now it seems that everyone is safe and sound. It's really great."

There was a hint of sincerity and concern in Yan Lan's words, which completely broke Captain Jack's original assumptions.

Captain Jack was obviously caught off guard by Yan Lan's words. He thought Yan Lan would panic and run away, and he was even ready to go into battle and hunt her down himself.

However, the scene before him was completely different from what he had imagined - Yan Lan not only did not run away, but instead showed up on her own initiative and asked about their situation in an almost friendly manner.

This change made Captain Jack stunned for a moment, but he soon regained his usual cunning and calmness.

He narrowed his eyes and studied Yan Lan carefully, trying to find a flaw in her expression and words. However, Yan Lan's face was only filled with a sincere smile and a look of concern, making it difficult for him to grasp her true intentions.

Yan Lan had been acting very openly, and Captain Jack felt a little guilty when he was looked at, but he quickly regained his composure, turned his eyes, and whispered a few words to the blond man beside him.

Then, like a peacemaker, he waved to the pirates who were still holding their guns, his tone carrying unquestionable authority: "Don't be nervous, everyone. This is just a misunderstanding. This is the man who saved me yesterday."

Captain Jack's words obviously carried a lot of weight in this pirate gang. As his words fell, although the pirates were still a little wary, they finally slowly put down their guns, but still held them tightly and did not put them back to their waists.

Yan Lan maintained a respectful smile, but a mixture of emotions filled her heart, as she cursed silently. She clearly remembered how she had rescued these pirates disguised as fishermen yesterday, even generously sharing their food. She had never expected that today they would bring a group of people to "repay" her.

What a sin!
