Just as Yu Miaomiao picked up her phone to check the game link message, her vision went dark, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself inside a post-apocalyptic survival game — Desert Surviv...
Chapter 141 Desert Survival Day 18 (1) How could he...
"Yingyingguai: Oh, by the way, Huabie brother asked me to tell you, but I was busy here and forgot!"
"Yingyingguai: He said if he doesn't receive your new message, he should let me leave you a message after 3 o'clock to keep you updated, because he's watching the head and may not be able to reply."
"Yingying Monster: Your friend Lulu is here too. She's trying to trick Qi Jintao into coming out, and Brother Huabie is looking for a place to headshot him."
"Yingyingguai: By the way, thank you for the antidote you sold me yesterday. Without your medicine, there would be no Yingying!"
"Meow Meow: You're welcome. Did they go together today? Are they in danger now? Can they kill Qi Jintao? What's their plan? Two people might not be enough. Give me a safe coordinate. I'll go over and help. I have some weapons."
"Yingyingguai: Wow, you're saying the same thing as Brother Huabie. They seem very wary of Brother Huabie and are switching locations frequently. He said you'd definitely come to help, but you've just recovered from a serious illness, and the sun's too strong right now, so he's worried you won't be able to handle it. If possible, wait until he runs out of bullets and sell him some new ones."
"Yingyingguai: But it's strange, would he be short of bullets? When I met him this morning, I looked at his backpack and he clearly had plenty."
Yu Miaomiao was indeed feeling very tired now. She was eating braised rice to replenish her energy. She was very worried about Lulu and Hua Bie. No matter how delicious the beef brisket in her mouth was, she was not paying attention to it.
"Meow Meow isn't short of water: Maybe he needs it more now. How many people does Qi Jintao have? What about their defenses? What about their military strength? Mainly, Lulu and Hua Bie haven't replied to me, and I can't trade what I have with them."
The only one who knows the situation now is Yingyingguai. She wishes she could be there right now to offer support, but she is afraid that the coordinates she is teleporting to will be right next to the big winner in life, which would delay things even more.
"Yingyingguai: Don't worry, trust Huabie brother and your friends. It feels so amazing. She's out. What a cool sister. You don't know how handsome she looks holding two iron rods."
Lulu? She went to Qi Jintao's base alone.
"Yingying Monster: Oh my god, a sandstorm is coming. I have to find a place to hide first and then go back to the house. I'll talk to you later if there's anything else!"
Yingying seemed to be deliberately hiding something and didn't answer all her questions. Was it because she didn't want to say it, or was it because Huabie didn't allow her to?
She finished a big bowl of rice and soup in just five minutes. Her hunger was relieved, but her worries only increased.
Should she ask him no matter how old he is? See if he knows anything. Yu Miaomiao was about to send a message when she received Lulu's reply.
"Fatty: I'm fine, don't worry."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Where are you? Give me the coordinates and I can be there right away."
"Pangpang: Sister Miaomiao, you also have a Zhang Yong Chuang Tianya card, right? I used this card to get here too. I'm working with Hua Bie to trick Qi Jintao out. If you come, he might run away."
"Meow Meow: Did you succeed in tricking him? If not, go ahead. He's such a badass, he must have a lot of weapons. I'm afraid you'll get hurt, so I've prepared a set of equipment to attack him: a [Drone] and [Explosion Fruit]. This can blow him up without any damage."
"Fatty: I just came out of his place, pretending to surrender and beating up a few of the talkative ones. But he's already wary of me. They have advanced thermal detectors, and only specialized protective clothing, like what Huabie is wearing, can block them. If another one comes, I'm afraid he'll just run away. To be more precise, he's already run away once, so I'm afraid it'll be hard to catch him next time."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Did he also use that card to run?"
"Pangpang: No, Sister Yingying said he doesn't have that card, but he has a lot of adventure cards. He ran into the adventure zone last time."
If you want to go to the adventure area, it will be troublesome. Qi Jintao can hide in the adventure area for 12 hours or even 24 hours. It is not a solution to guard him all the time. What if he gets the Brave to the End of the World card in the adventure area and runs away, you will really miss the opportunity to kill him.
"Pangpang: And, sorry, Sister Miaomiao, I have some selfish motives. I want to kill him with my own hands."
"Meow Meow: Okay. It's not safe for you to go to their base alone. Do you have anything to save your life? I can give you some defense and weapons."
"Chubby: I don't need a ranged weapon. Do you have a primary shield? My previous one isn't durable enough, so I want a new one."
When Yu Miaomiao saw this, she immediately sent a trade request, adding a mid-level shield, a shotgun and two magazines. Lulu hesitated for a moment and accepted the request.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: If you can kill him, that would be the best. If not, safety and life are the most important. If you need help, feel free to tell me. I'm here. One more person always means more strength."
"Pangpang: Okay, thank you for understanding, Sister Miaomiao. If I really can't do it, I will come and trouble you."
"Is Pipi here? I'm here too!! I'm a good fighter, so call us if you need me."
If she wanted to trick Qi Jintao out of the base, perhaps only Lulu could do it. After all, she was the one who knew him best. But doing so would be putting herself in danger.
But Lulu is cautious with everyone every day, whether it is to hide the information of her rebirth, or to people like Miaomiao and Api who have taken care of her.
In Lulu's heart, Qi Jintao came to kill Miaomiao because of herself. Because the person who caused her psychological and physical trauma did not disappear, there was always a haze in Lulu's heart that was difficult to dissipate.
Perhaps only when Lulu deals with that person herself can she truly move on.
Yu Miaomiao took out the workbench with concern, only to notice that the information sign was flashing.
She slept through the daily card drawing session again.
[System Notice: Settlement of Upgrade Item Card Rewards Begins]
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait. Gained Fishing Net*1, Gill Lung Organs*2, Refined Titanium Ingot*2, Stimulants*2, Life Jackets*2, Small Oxygen Cylinders*3, Advanced Medical Kit*1, Waterproof Generator Crafting Blueprint*1.]
It's hard to comment.
She had drawn this card before, and it was indeed useful when she chose it. Not only did it help her understand that she would soon face monsters in the end of the world, but the contents of the card also provided her with a lot of help.
Speaking of upgrading items, in fact, the survivors of the apocalypse already know what will happen in the next stage, and there is no need to predict it by drawing items from cards.
The things given to her were said to be upgrade items, but in fact many of them were things she had already seen. The number was small, but the advantage was that they were all high-end goods. Cards that could appear at the same time as upgrade item cards must also be very good, but it was a pity that she missed the choice.
Maybe the system only gives the option of one card?
Thinking about it this way, it doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Yu Miaomiao continued to work tirelessly, opening all the messages and refreshing the world news and rankings, hoping that the annoying name would disappear.
But after brushing for a long time, there was no new progress. As time passed, she became more and more anxious. She thought that if the two of them had no progress today, she might as well give the drone and the explosive fruit to Lulu. Killing them in this way might be safer.
Not necessarily... Who knows how big the impact range of the Explosion Fruit is? She is ready to hide in the exploration area at any time.
He went through various methods in his mind, but the name of the big winner in the ranking list did not disappear. Instead, Iris's expedition progress increased by 3%.
“Ding ding.”
Yu Miaomiao quickly switched to the chat interface.
"Iris: That was close. Luckily you warned me, otherwise I might have been successfully ambushed."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: When you cleared the dark exploration area, someone came in again?"
Yu Miaomiao thought that the last ambush was an accident. She had cleaned up the supplies and monsters on the side roads very well in the early stage, which attracted the attention of other survivors. Unexpectedly, she encountered Iris again. So, can she be basically sure that someone is specifically guarding the explorers who are about to pass the level, and when they see that they are about to pass the level, they come in to kill and rob.
Iris: Well, that guy was wielding a pistol and shooting at me from a distance. Perhaps because we were far away, the bullets were much weaker, and I dodged them with my shield and protective shield. His timing was... spot-on. It was after I'd killed the final boss, but before I'd used my health kit and opened the treasure chest. I'm baffled. How could he have found me so accurately? I wonder if he's the same guy you met last time.
Yu Miaomiao thought of a problem and was worried that the group chat would affect Lulu, so she sent a message to Api to inquire.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: When I went to the expedition last time, did you see my coordinates?"
"Is Pipi here? I didn't notice."
Thinking that Yingyingguai had the most friends, he might have seen it, so Yu Miaomiao sent a message.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Yingying, is it convenient now?"
"Yingyingguai: Sister Meow Meow, I really don't know what's going on over there. They're fine, so you don't have to worry too much."
From this sentence, Yu Miaomiao felt as if Yingying was deliberately silenced.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I've contacted Lulu, that's not what I'm asking."
"Yingyingguai: Oh oh oh. As for the rest, just ask. I can tell you anything I know."
Yu Miaomiao: ...
She was not sure at first, but now she can conclude that Hua Bie asked her to talk less about what happened at the scene. Was he rushing over without thinking because he was afraid that she would worry?
"Meow Meow is not short of water: If your friends are in the expedition area, what information do you see when you check their location? Or do they still have the coordinates of the place they are in?"
"Yingyingguai: No, you will see which expedition location the other person is in, the corresponding expedition location number, and the current expedition progress."
...
Yu Miaomiao didn't believe that her information was leaked by her only three friends. She thought that she must have been attacked by accident because the other party shot her after she opened the treasure chest. He must have been trying to confirm whether she had obtained the items and whether she had opened the last treasure chest.
She didn't know how far the range of □□ was. At least that person would not follow her from that road when there were a bunch of monsters. Either he would wait for the monsters to disappear, or gather near the final BOSS, then drink stimulants and wear light wind shoes to rush over.
As for Iris, she probably didn't have the ability to block the monsters' perception like the Turtle Breathing Technique, so she should have cleared all the monsters along the way. From the number of monsters she killed, it can be seen that she almost killed all the monsters along the way.
No wonder, the person who attacks Iris can just follow her all the way until she is ready to open the treasure chest. As long as he is killed before she opens the treasure chest, he can not only get everything on Iris, but also get the adventure progress to open the final treasure chest.
Through friends, I can actually see the expedition site number and expedition progress. It seems that I was right to be cautious when adding friends at the beginning.
After understanding the situation clearly, Yu Miaomiao replied to Iris.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Do you have a lot of friends? Your friends can see your expedition progress and expedition number by checking your location. Do you think that someone might accidentally reveal your information?"
Although saying this seems a bit double standard.
Yu Miaomiao trusted her friend unconditionally, but asked the other party to check her friends. However, according to Iris's description, it seemed that this person deliberately blocked the opportunity to open the treasure chest.
"Iris: I added a friend before, but he's dead. A dead person shouldn't be able to check my location, right?"
I didn’t expect that Iris is also someone who doesn’t like to add friends. As expected, everyone is very cautious.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Where is the group chat?"
"Iris: Group chats? I joined two, one for bartering and the other for battle sharing. There aren't many people in there, and they were all added by my deceased friend."
Yu Miaomiao had never joined any group chat, only one group of three. She had seen people creating groups on posts before, saying that it would be more convenient to exchange supplies in the group, but she was not interested. She thought that if there was a need, she could just post it in the world, and she could buy directly when the auction house was opened later.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: In the apocalypse, everyone has all sorts of special abilities. Some people even have the ability to check the location of group members through group chats."
"Iris: Then I'll leave the group."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Hey, wait a minute!"
"Iris: What's wrong?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: What other weapons can you think of that can kill people at such a long distance, besides the □□, do you know of any other weapons?"
"Iris: As far as I know, this is the weapon, and there shouldn't be many people who have it. Are you trying to find that person?"
"Meow Meow: That's right. If that person's sneak attack fails, there will definitely be a second and third time. Although I'm not sure if the one who attacked me is the same one who attacked you this time, I think there aren't many people with this weapon. And even if you leave the group chat, what if this person has another way to see our location?"
Yu Miaomiao’s current thinking is that as long as someone deliberately attacks her, she will retaliate and will not give others a second chance to hurt her.
"Iris: □□ is indeed a very rare weapon, probably only possessed by a very few people. It's not difficult to find it, but the apocalypse is changing rapidly, and people in the group chat are always leaving and joining. Today we find the person who attacked us, and tomorrow someone else with the same weapon appears. It's too troublesome."
It seems that it won't work if she has this idea alone. The other party is a person who is afraid of trouble. If Iris is unwilling to cooperate with Yu Miaomiao, she can only go to an adventure site and wait for the opportunity.
"Iris: I just cleared Dark Oasis, so I probably won't be exploring any new locations in the next few days. I can help you capture this guy for a few days, but if I plan to go somewhere new, I'll leave the group chat."
In Iris's heart, she could afford the trouble, but she would rather hide away. She just wanted to go back early and didn't want to get into so much trouble. However, considering that the other party was a good person who had reminded her, she came up with this idea.
"Miaomiao is not short of water: Could you please send me the nicknames of everyone in the two groups?"
"Iris: The number of people in the group changes every day. I'm not sure if the person who just shot me will quit. I'll report everything I've seen so far to you."
Yu Miaomiao is now very skilled in making bullets. As the indoor temperature is just right, she can make the materials while browsing information.
The names appeared one by one in the dialog box, and Yu Miaomiao wrote them all down on the newly ordered white paper.
It's still troublesome to use linen to record things. After all, paper is more convenient.
She didn't see a familiar name among the bunch of nicknames. Could it be that she was overthinking it?
"Iris: There are also some people who have spoken to me in recent days but have left the group chat. I will also tell you their names."
Then Iris reported 10 more names, among which there was a very familiar name - Not Short of Money.
"Miaomiao is not short of water: This guy who is not short of money is a subordinate of the big winner in life. As far as I know, he is the one who can check other people's location through group chat. Can you see when he last spoke?"
"Iris: 10 minutes ago I saw him asking how many grenades it would take to breach a stone wall. When others asked him why he was asking, and whether he was planning to attack everyone else's base, he left the group."
Stone city wall, why did he ask this? Did he really want to attack here, or was he afraid that others would attack them?
Night fell, and there was still no new news. Xiaoguai didn't come either. It was very quiet outside the house. Soon she received a message from Api, asking her to open the world to chat.
"Life's Big Winner: Buying a mid-level or advanced medical kit at a high price."
Is he injured?
Huabie and Lulu succeeded! ! ?
Yu Miaomiao hurriedly sent greeting messages to Hua Bie and Lulu, but received no reply, so she continued to look out at the world.
"Hehe: Hehe, why are you asking for such a high price? Don't you claim to have mastered the entire apocalyptic medical manufacturing process? Why don't you just make it yourself?"
"We're not short of money: Stop making sarcastic remarks here. Those of you who have benefited from our boss before, why are you silent now? Is it so difficult for you to sell a high-end medical kit?"
He needs to use an intermediate or advanced medical kit, which means he is seriously injured. Even in this state, Qi Jintao's subordinates are still talking like this to the world. Do they think he is not dying fast enough?
"My Lie in April: Wow, that's how you ask for help. I've learned a lot. I don't have a high-level medical kit, but I do have an [Intermediate Medical Kit]. Would you consider paying me a deposit? I'll see if I'm in a good mood and whether I'd like to sell it to you?"
It’s obvious that Lie in April has a grudge against that group of people and will definitely not back down, but it just wants to provoke them in the world.
"Hen Qiang: I would like to clarify that I have left the All Winners Club. I am now a member of the Heaven and Earth Club. Please do not blame me for the past grudges with the Life Winners. I am also a poor survivor who was coerced into joining. I apologize to everyone for the mistakes I made out of ignorance and helplessness in the past."
Hey, Yu Miaomiao remembered that this person used to be a subordinate of a big winner in life. Why did he suddenly go around the world and say such things? Did he think Qi Jintao was in trouble and would soon find a new employer?
There are several familiar names in the world, and they copy and paste the same words. They are all people who have just left the union of life's big winners. It seems that they have unified their words.
"We're not short of money: Hey, you guys, the boss is just a little injured, and you're already thinking about climbing up the ladder. Our boss is a lucky guy favored by the system, and all the supplies he dispenses are related to medical items. Wait until he dispenses something good next time, and you think of coming back, we don't want you anymore."
Yu Miaomiao was amused again by the words that he was not short of money. It was already this late, and he was still praising Qi Jintao. Shouldn't he be looking for medicine everywhere?
Soon she received a message from Lulu.
"Pangpang: Sister Miaomiao, I did it. I stabbed him in the back with a machete and cut it, right where he said he gave me a kidney. He never gave it to me. He used this to deceive me for 20 years. I used the knife to pay him back. By the way, I also chopped off one of his hands. He should not survive."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Is he dead? Are you injured?"
"Pangpang: I'm fine. He slashed me with his poison knife, but my intermediate shield helped me block the damage. He's hiding in the base now and doesn't dare to come out. His expedition card was also stolen by their traitor. He has nowhere to go. Master Huabie said he would attack and asked me to guard the sand slope behind. If he dares to come out, I will kill him directly."
Before the moon reached overhead, Xiaoguai still didn't come, but she received a message from Qi Jintao.
"Life's Big Winner: 1000 slime and 30 bandages, can you sell me a mid-level or advanced medical kit?"
"Meow meow is not short of water: I won't sell it."
"Life's Big Winner: All my supplies, all the supplies I have, there are a lot, I beg you to sell me some."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: If you don't want to sell it, why don't you go and ask Lulu for it."
"Life's Big Winner: Where do you think my injuries came from? She wishes I were dead, she wouldn't sell it to me."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Actually, I also wish you were dead."
Yu Miaomiao didn't respond to his pleading words. After a while, she received a message from Lulu.
"Fatty: Haha, Qi Jintao actually had the nerve to come begging me. He said he was wrong and shouldn't have lied to me for so long. It's really funny."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: You... have forgiven him?"
"Chubby: How is that possible? I wish he would die immediately. Oh no, life would be worse than death."
"Is Pipi here? How could he possibly know he was wrong? He only said he was wrong when he was dying."
"Pangpang: Sister Miaomiao, I heard he asked you for medical supplies but you didn't give them to him. It's perfect. How does it feel to let him watch himself bleed to death?"
It was not until the moon was at its highest point that Yu Miaomiao learned that Qi Jintao was dead, but the person who told her was neither Hua Bie nor Lulu.
"No matter how old you are, you are still strong: You are amazing, you defeated the big winner in life so quickly."
When Yu Miaomiao heard him say this, she immediately went to the leaderboard to check that person's nickname, and sure enough, it had disappeared.
She immediately sent messages to Lulu and Hua Bie, but they didn't reply. She then asked Ruoshi no matter how old he was.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: How did you know he was dead so quickly? Your accomplice is still next to him?"
The person is dead, why didn’t Lulu and Hua Bie reply to the message? Could something else have happened?
