Chapter 148 Desert Survival Day 21 (1) The Conspiracy Behind the Scenes…

Although I can't be sure whether the other person is that person, one thing I can be sure of is that he is lying.

Someone has done statistics a long time ago and found that people who are injured in the real world will not be teleported to the apocalypse, at least not to this beta server.

At that time, someone mentioned that he was clearly checking messages with a friend, but the person in question showed up, but the friend who had a broken bone next to him didn't. This shows that when the system selected people to join the internal test server, it must have deliberately avoided people who were injured in real life.

Whether it was out of kindness that the system didn't do this, or because it felt that if reality hurts, one will die soon in the apocalypse, anyway, Blood Cherry lied.

Since she dared to tell such an obvious lie, we should accept her random answers to those three questions.

"Blood Cherry: Master Meow, are you sure the final treasure chest only gave you these five kinds of supplies?"

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Are you sure that the answer you just gave to my question is correct?"

Almost no one knew about Yu Miaomiao's expedition this time. Firstly, she had never joined a group, secondly, her friends were trustworthy, and thirdly, she had been to the expedition site before, so the progress would not be refreshed. The entry of 'Blood Cherry' was most likely a random event.

But it is unknown whether it was "Blood Cherry" herself who was random, or someone arranged for many random people to enter the expedition site.

"Blood Cherry: So you already know everything. I did lie just now... I came in just to collect things, and I didn't have any other intentions. Please don't misunderstand me."

Yu Miaomiao couldn't possibly trust someone who lied for the first time, so she immediately asked about this person in the group chat and in Yingying's dialog box.

But they all said they didn't know this person, including Yingying, who said she had never seen this person appear in the Tiandihui.

Logically speaking, people on this list who joined the Tiandihui would at least have an identity, a small senior level, but they don't have that, which means that this person does not belong to the Tiandihui on the surface.

The other party was very anxious, and when he saw that Yu Miaomiao didn't reply, he immediately sent another message.

"Blood Cherry: I know you're very strong. How dare I apply for your expedition site when I know it's you?"

Yu Miaomiao suddenly had an idea. She seemed to have been ignoring a problem. Thinking of this, she sent a message to Hua Bie.

"Meow Meow: Are you there? If you are the owner of an exploration site, when you allow other explorers to enter, can you see that person's name?"

"Hua Bie: I don't know about that. I haven't been to the expedition site with anyone else. If you want to know... I can invite you to come in and take a look."

"Hanabetsu: Or you can ask Yingying, she went to the expedition place with the beautiful girl warrior."

"Meow Meow is not short of water: OK thanks, I'll go ask her."

Hua Bie breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why he had the compulsion to invite the other party to form a team. Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to notice this.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Yingying, have you been to the expedition area with other people? In the expedition area, can you see other people's names?"

"Yingyingguai: Yes, after opening the holographic system, the nickname of another person will appear next to the progress value. The line of text looks very small and it is difficult to see if you don't pay attention. But I'm not sure if it can only be seen when you are in a team."

"Miaomiao is not short of water: After forming a team, is there a team interface in your holographic screen's field of view, similar to the teammate bars on both sides of the field of view in games?"

"Yingyingguai: No, a team bar only appears when you enter the chat interface. I don't see the team display anywhere else."

"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: Did you know this function through your Perspective System, or did you discover it yourself?"

"Yingyingguai: To be honest, I saw it in the Tiandihui's high-level group chat."

The top leaders of the Tiandihui all know...

If it was only displayed in the chat interface from the beginning, there would not be new displays suddenly popping up in other places. Then Yingying being able to see other people's names on the map should be an additional function of the adventure site.

So when she tricked Qi Jintao into coming in last time, did he use this function to see his own name?

Every time she entered the expedition area, because she was in combat, even getting weapons only took a second. It was very likely that someone came in 12 hours later and she didn't notice. Especially when she tricked two people in for the first time, she was still fighting a mammoth and might not have paid attention to this information.

"Yingyingguai: Oh, by the way, did you know that some people have the ability to 'make the system interface visible only to themselves'? This allows them to mask their own names in the adventure zone. The biggest winners in life have this ability."

So that's how it is. Yu Miaomiao thought about it and sent a message to that Blood Cherry.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Do you have a lot of exploration cards? Did you come here just to pick things? This excuse is too far-fetched. Do you think I can believe it?"

The number of adventure cards each person can get is very limited, otherwise people wouldn't spend money looking for adventure sites everywhere.

Iris had heard that some people were buying expedition cards at high prices, but the prices of expedition cards didn't seem to be low.

Those who are willing to complete the game or get more treasure chests should ask how many treasure chests there are in total, just like Iris and another person she chatted with privately. However, Blood Cherry doesn't seem to care about how many treasure chests there are at all, and it seems like she is asking for someone else.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Who are you asking for?"

As soon as she said this, the other side fell silent.

It seems she hit the nail on the head.

The hailstorm overhead had stopped, and outside the house was completely quiet.

Yu Miaomiao turned her gaze to the item synthesis guide.

Item Synthesis Guide

[Scrap iron block * 500 + copper casting block * 122 + iron casting block * 122 + titanium casting block * 16 + screws * 555 = metal foundation

Scrap iron block * 200 + copper block * 88 + iron block * 88 + titanium block * 6 + screws * 222 + nylon cloth * 33 = metal fence

Refined Iron Ingot*33 + Refined Titanium Ingot*8 + Screw*88 = Foundation Connector

Refined Iron Ingot*22 + Refined Titanium Ingot*3 + Plastic Block*33 + Screw*18 = Anchor

[After completing all item synthesis, you can unlock new item synthesis formulas and system functions. *Note: The metal fence needs to be synthesized 4 times to be considered complete.]

What features will be unlocked after completing these items?

At this stage, she has unlocked the store, what system functions will be available next?

Yu Miaomiao first clicked "Synthesize" on the metal foundation and metal fence, and walked out of the house.

Holding a torch in her hand, her figure was stretched out, but there was no familiar cat shadow.

She checked the cushion and found it was intact, with some black and white cat hair still on it. The food in the incubator and feeder was gone. It seemed that Xiaoguai had come and left.

The air around her froze her face purple, and the sand was frozen hard and felt thick when stepped on. There were also some dried bloodstains on the ground, which looked like they were left by the monsters that Xiaoguai brought with him.

Fortunately, Xiaoguai is smart and knows how to bring the monster here and also learns how to eat it.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t see it tonight, but Yu Miaomiao hopes to see it on the 30th day in the desert.

Everyone has basically experienced the monsters of the end of the world, and she has also encountered them, but she feels that when the sea world comes, a new batch of monsters will definitely appear.

What about the original one?

What about those three-headed wolves and ice thorn birds? Will they be eliminated?

If they will be eliminated, what about zebra cats?

Xiaoguai knows how scary hail is and will hide from it. But will it know to hide here with me?

What about the next world on the sea? How will Xiaoguai survive?

On the night of the 30th, no matter what, she would be near the base and pull Xiaoguai into the room.

Yu Miaomiao returned to the house worriedly and started practicing the tortoise breathing technique.

"Brother Lanse, where are we going? We are so tired after traveling all the way here. It's so cold. Why don't we rest here for a night?" The middle-aged man with the Mediterranean style panted, rubbed his hands and squatted down on the spot.

Li Quanren opened the holographic screen and took a look, then said indifferently, "If you don't want to follow, you can go and keep Qi Jintao company."

When Qian Chuan'er heard what he said, he stood up with a start and spat twice, saying, "Brother Lanse, oh no, Brother Yi, can you please not mention that unlucky thing? It's freezing late at night."

Li Quanren raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, "Weren't you always so bossy and polite? Now that someone's dead, you're acting like this?"

After saying that, he took out a cigarette and took a puff. He glanced sideways and saw the middle-aged man next to him staring at the sparks on the cigarette with greedy eyes.

"Isn't that the only way? I'm different from you. I have no ability and can only live under someone else's roof. If it weren't for you, I would have been hacked to death by Yang Haotian's men. Without you, there would be no me. I saw how Qi Waste treated you before. It's all my fault for being a coward and not being able to..."

Seeing the person next to him chattering non-stop, Li Quanren took a final puff of his cigarette in annoyance, then stuffed it into the person's mouth and said, "Follow the manager of this base carefully. Life will be hard at first, but if you can help and show your ability, your life will definitely be better than before."

The Mediterranean man took a last, deep breath, and exhaled with relief. "You're quite capable, I suppose. You actually managed to convince Qi Waste to use his treasured name-change card to ask for your help. But why would you use it just to change your name? The name 'Yi' is truly impressive, fitting for your status as the strongest person."

Li Quanren heard that he seemed to be talking non-stop, and he felt disgusted and did not answer. As he walked forward, he gathered the collar of his clothes to make sure that his warm clothes were still hot, and said, "Do more work and less nonsense in the future."

The moon had disappeared tonight, and everything was pitch black. Qian Chuan'er saw Li Quanren had already left. In the distance, he heard what sounded like a wolf howling. He was so scared that he hurried after him, shouting, "Brother Yi, wait for me."

**

The sound of hail became much quieter in the second half of the night. Perhaps because he had a lot on his mind, he was much slower in entering the state of practicing. When Yu Miaomiao woke up in the morning and looked at his personal panel, there was no point to add.

"Is Pipi here? Good morning everyone! We've had another wonderful day!"

"Pangpang: Good morning, has A-Pi recovered his energy today?"

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Yeah, I didn't see A-Pi report the morning yesterday, I'm not used to it."

"Is Pipi here? Hehe, I know you guys can't live without me for even a day. Ziren and I stayed up late last night talking about this. I decided to go find Sister Miaomiao first!"

"Miaomiao is not short of water: Great, you're most welcome. Having one more person makes me feel more at ease. Api is so strong, please protect me well now that you're here."

"Is Pipi here? Listen, listen, is this what the big guy on the leaderboard said?!"

"Is Pipi here? By the way, we chatted late last night. Guess what Quilt Ren discovered?"

"Pangpang: You're so enthusiastic, are you gossiping?"

"Meow Meow is not short of water: If Ziren can find out some gossip over there, he should be doing well. That's why Api is so relieved."

"Is Pipi here? Ziren... after all, he's the one who's more respected by the person in charge. After all, in the apocalypse, he's probably the fastest at craftsmanship, and what they need is urgent, and only Ziren can meet their needs."

"Is Pipi here? Just a little gossip. He slept late last night and saw someone he knows..."

"Pangpang: An acquaintance? Our classmate?"

"Is Pipi here? No, you wouldn't believe it. If that guy hadn't screamed so loudly when his mouth was sewn shut last night, someone like Ziren wouldn't have run out to watch."

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Sewing the mouth... Is this what I understand?"

"Is Pipi here? Yeah, I gave up on saving him after hearing what Ziren said about that place. The people there... aren't human. The useful ones, like Ziren, are rounded up to do their work. The useless ones have their limbs broken, their tongues cut out, their mouths sewn shut, or their flesh cut off and fed to the monsters. I'm afraid I'll be scared to death before I can save anyone."

According to what A-pi said, it must be the murderer without a doubt. I didn’t expect Ziren to be so specific with her.

"Pangpang: From Ah Pi's description, it's almost certain that the person in charge of Ziren's base is the killer. But we can't tell anyone about this just yet, or else the Tiandihui will find out. If that killer provokes them, they'll use their high-end weaponry to destroy the base, and Ziren's life will be in jeopardy."

"Miaomiao is not short of water: That person must have seen that Ziren couldn't get any outside help, so he allowed him to contact the outside world more freely. Is he okay?"

"Is Pipi here? The person in charge has a lot of stuff. Ziren used a charger at the base to charge his phone and recorded a video for me. After confirming that he was okay, I decided not to look for him for now."

"Chubby: So who is that acquaintance?"

"Is Pipi here? Remember Qi Jintao had a subordinate called 'Bu Cha Qian'?"

"Meow Meow is not short of water: not short of money? He had his mouth sewn shut?"

"Pangpang: I saw someone taking a few people away at the time. My attention was all on Qi Jintao, and I didn't expect that he was the one who ran away."

Why are you not short of money?

Logically speaking, as Qi Jintao's former capable subordinate, Lulu and Hua Bie did not kill him together, so Yang Haotian should not have been able to keep such a person.

No, I have a special ability if I'm not short of money, which is the ability to check other people's location through group chat.

So the killer brought him back because he was attracted by his ability to be rich?

But two days had passed since Qi Jintao's death until last night.

If a person is controlled by a murderer, he or she should take an antidote within 24 hours.

Could it be that the person who escaped with plenty of money was not controlled by the murderer?

Or, cooperate with the murderer or exchange it for something with plenty of money.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: By the way, Api, you just said that every time you ask Ziren to do a craft, he is always in a hurry. He is always in a hurry to do something. Do you know?"

"Is Pipi here? I'm asking."

"Is Pipi here? Backpack expanders and toolboxes are usually the most urgent."

Backpack expander....toolbox?

Who would be in a hurry to expand their backpack? It’s those who have acquired a lot of supplies at once.

As for the toolbox, all she could think of was something related to lock picking.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Didn't you let Ziren make weapons or bullets?"

"Is Pipi here? I asked about this a long time ago, and they said yes, but only a fixed amount every day."

There are indeed not many adventure cards in the world, but the adventure progress of the survivors on the list is basically below 10%, or even below 5% in most cases.

At the beginning, Yu Miaomiao thought that everyone might not be strong enough, and few people dared to or had the ability to explore the later part, so the overall progress of the expedition was not high.

The first time I went there, I got 5%. Although there was a bit of luck and Hua Bie informed me in advance, there are tens of thousands of survivors in the world, and it is impossible that not everyone dares to go. With so many people, I still can't reach 5%.

Yu Miaomiao still remembered that when she went there for the first time, she heard that Yang Haotian didn't like Qi Jintao to go to the expedition site because his ranking was high and Yang Haotian would lose face, so those who wanted to go in their union could only go secretly?

Yes, she was still puzzled. She had clearly said that she could share the knowledge of Dark Oasis, but not many people left messages. Because those who dared to go were just some individual people. Those in the Tiandihui did not dare to go openly because of Yang Haotian.

What should I do if I don’t dare to do it openly but still need resources for development?

If they keep the expedition card unused, it would be a waste. They might hire someone to go, go secretly, or even sell it.

If I go alone, I dare not make too much progress for fear of being discovered, so I can only collect some and leave.

This is in line with the situation of 'blood cherry'.

The reason why Blood Cherry refused to speak was probably because what he did was to hide from Yang Haotian an industrial chain, so he couldn't say too much.

But what is strange is why the murderer is related to this dark industrial chain.

Some people even sent "rich people" to the killer's base.

Yu Miaomiao opened her post again and found that there were not many comments marked with "Adventure Card", but there were many more attackers.

72L: What's the point of the original poster posting this? Is she trying to show off her strength and get capable survivors to join her?

75L: If you want to set up a union, just do it. Why hide it?

91L: Are they deliberately targeting our Tiandihui?

99L: The OP just wanted to provide a guide, what does it have to do with your Tiandihui?

101L: Didn't you see the post you made earlier? They're deliberately spreading hard mode around the world, saying the more people gather, the more hail there will be. They're trying to disperse the survivors of our fledgling base. I don't know what their intentions are.

It turned out that in the eyes of these people, his reminder was actually intended to dismantle their base.

109L OP: I just raised a question, and you guys were able to trigger so many speculations. Do you really imagine it, or do you also have this worry? Since you have this worry, don't put the blame on others. Instead of attacking me here, you might as well think about whether you can survive the difficult mode.

Yu Miaomiao glanced at the description of her house.

【Name: Metal Brick House (Yu Miaomiao) (97/100)

Level: 25 (+3)

Description: A house that can withstand normal hailstorms (and normal ammunition)

Attributes: Defense 700 points, Non-human attack defense 100,000 points (Firearm attack defense 3,000 points)]

Currently, one-third of her houses have been updated to pure metal structures.

Last night, I hammered these things out with a construction hammer indoors and outdoors for a long time. When I walked outside, the scorching heat hit me in the face, and six robots were busy working.

Yu Miaomiao looked at the roof. One-third of the roof had been replaced with a metal nylon roof made of iron wire and nylon cloth. It looked not only strong but also waterproof.

The canopy roof of the house reinforcement device was also wrapped with metal wire.

What about the glass house?

After confirming that the sandstorm had not arrived so soon, she walked to the glass house nearby and checked it carefully.

Similarly, one-third of the glass roof was fixed with horizontal and vertical crisscrossing metal wires on all sides, making it very strong, but a corner of the glass house was broken.

She fixed the glass house on the repair table and put it back.

It seems that without a metal foundation and metal walls, the glass house will also be damaged when hail falls.

Return to the house and continue preparing combat supplies for today's expedition.

The little red dot on the temporary conversation lit up, and she opened it to take a look.

"No matter how old you are, you're still strong: Young man, I've told you before, your intentions are good, but this will only bring resentment from others. I have a great cooperation plan. If you agree to participate, I can find someone to speak well of you, and even find a way to shut those people up, so that those ungrateful people won't continue to cause trouble."

Yu Miaomiao just typed some words in response, thought about it, deleted it, and asked.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: What's the plan?"

"No matter how old you are, you're still strong: Your original intention was to exchange three questions for one. Do you want to know more about the expedition site? If so, why not contact my subordinates individually and forget about the lottery?"

She had always known that Qiang was interested in adventure no matter how old he was. He had first come to her with the excuse of inviting Yu Miaomiao to join him in the adventure.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Are you very interested in the exploration site? If so, why did you let your subordinates contact me? What about you?"

"No matter how old you are, you're still strong. I have many brothers, so I don't have to do everything myself. I invited you long ago. If you had come, I wouldn't have to deal with so many troubles myself, and I wouldn't have to face so much gossip alone."

"Meow Meow: Your progress in exploring the expedition directly impacts your ranking. Are you uninterested in ranking? Don't you care about the rewards? If you don't care, why would you send your people there? I told you long ago, if you have any ideas, just be honest with me. Don't waste each other's time. My time is money."

So it turns out that this dark industry chain has always been practiced by everyone, regardless of their age.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to come to me and even offered to help resolve those unpleasant messages.

Among the names of people who left messages, Yu Miaomiao had seen some IDs before, all of whom were members of the Tiandihui.

I guess many of these people are strong no matter their age.

Yang Haotian, oh Yang Haotian, you built such a big gang, but on one hand, it's being divided up by Qi Jintao, and on the other hand, it's being eaten up by other subordinates. What on earth are you doing? What role are you playing?

Yu Miaomiao was also quite speechless. Last time, no matter how old she was, she pretended to care about the murderer and said she was willing to pay 500 mucus for information. It turned out that she had been in cahoots with that bloodthirsty person for a long time, but she couldn't expose these things now, after all, Ziren was still in that person's hands.

Yang Haotian probably doesn't know about these things yet. If he knew, he would have probably asked someone to cut off this industrial chain to prevent it from threatening him in the future.

Not necessarily, in case...

Yang Haotian knows everything, but he still lets these people play with these things here, waiting for the right opportunity to put them into his own pocket?

If this is true, Yang Haotian can really endure it.

Yu Miaomiao stopped what she was doing and prepared for the card drawing at noon.

[Desert Survival Day 21 12:02]

Hey, where's the card draw? Is the system stuck?

There is no one chatting in the world yet, everyone should be drawing cards, but where is your own card?

Oh, she chose the potential card, so there is no card drawing session today.

She seemed to have never heard anyone say that she had ever drawn a potential card. Does that mean that only she could encounter a potential card?

If the card drawing at 12 noon is when everyone has to stop, she will have one day where she can choose the potential card, and then she won't have to go through the card drawing process the next day.

And this short five minutes of card drawing allowed her to make use of the time when others had to be distracted.
