Chapter 157 Desert Survival Day 23 (4) The person you are looking for...

Is hail coming again?

How long has this sandstorm just ended? Will the system still let us survive?

After Xiaoguai warned the human in front of him, he still did not move. So he had to touch the ground with one hind leg, grab Miaomiao with his two claws, and yelled "Ha——" in her face.

Yesterday, I just faced her in the face and she finally knew to leave. This time, she should finally realize the danger. Xiaoguai felt a little disappointed and wanted to turn around and run away.

The next second, before its claws could land on the ground, the zebra cat's entire body flew into the air. It was so scared that it looked at the dizzying scene around it in horror. Its three movable claws, plus one limb that still had some feeling at the thigh joint, were paddling the air frantically.

Just before the zebra cat yelped for the second time, Yu Miaomiao drank the stimulant, inserted her hands into its front legs, pressed against its back, clamped its chest, and lifted the zebra cat up.

Wow, it’s really heavy. Even though she drank the medicine to improve her body functions, she still felt a little tired. It must be more than 300 pounds.

She ignored the cat as it thrashed about in panic and practically dragged it back.

Xiaoguai was dragged backwards and lost his balance. His tiger head was pulled into the human's arms by his falling body. He kept grabbing forward with his front limbs, but always grabbed nothing. The only leg that could move was struggling to kick the sand that had become hardened.

Yu Miaomiao was kicked so hard that her body fell backward unconsciously. She immediately crossed her legs and stood firmly. She said softly, "Little darling, I'll take you into the house. It's safe~"

When he heard where he was going, Xiaoguai stomped on the ground excitedly, making uncomfortable "ow" sounds from his mouth.

"My dear, don't move." Even though she drank the potion, she couldn't resist the struggle of such a big cat. She immediately opened the system backpack with her mind, took out the barbecued meat, stuffed the meat into its mouth with one hand as quickly as possible, and quickly hugged it back.

While Xiaoguai was chewing in confusion, she increased her strength and continued to drag the zebra cat towards the edge of the stone wall.

"Ah, ah, ah" "Ah, ah" Xiaoguai protested dissatisfiedly while biting the meat.

As long as there was no struggle, Yu Miaomiao used all her strength to drag Xiaoguai inside.

When it finished eating and kicked its legs again, a piece of greasy and fragrant barbecued meat was stuffed into its mouth.

When Yu Miaomiao dragged it away, she could hear its stomach growling with hunger. It must be extremely hungry, so the method of stuffing food into it was effective.

While it was eating, she didn't dare to stop for even a second. She could feel that the hail was coming soon. Xiaoguai was already injured and couldn't be hurt a second time. She kept calling Xiaoguai's name over and over again, nervously saying all kinds of comforting words, with her hands tightly clenched, not daring to let go.

As she moved, she quickened her pace, leaned sideways, and bent her back. Just when she finally reached the entrance of the stone wall by clamping its front legs, she kicked the stone door and hail fell from the sky.

Because she was hunched over, she didn't notice it at first. It was not until she felt a series of impacts on her back that she realized that it was hailstones as dense as a chessboard falling on her.

Fortunately, she was wearing an intermediate shield, but the little darling in her arms did not have one. She tried her best to put her forearm close to her upper arm, bend it and raise it flat, trying to stretch out the shield and cover more of the giant cat in her arms, but she still could not stop this cat that was three times her size.

“Hey——” “Ah——meow”

The moment he was hit, Xiaoguai spat out the meat in his mouth and twisted his body wildly to run away.

There were only two steps left. Yu Miaomiao didn't care whether Xiaoguai would scratch her body or not. She no longer cared about the holding posture. She ignored the claws and kicks of the cat in front of her. She took two steps at a time, sweating profusely, and dragged it up the metal stairs. On the last step, she forcibly carried it into the house.

Xiaoguai opened the door and found a corner to crawl into, just like last time. Yu Miaomiao closed the door.

The shivering Xiaoguai was hit twice again, and the new and old wounds had already dyed several patches of his black and white fur red.

Yu Miaomiao felt a little regretful for a moment. If she had gone back into the house after Xiaoguai's first warning, Xiaoguai would have been able to find a safe place to hide and not get hurt again.

She opened the intermediate medical kit in her backpack and used it on the zebra cat. Watching a flash of light sweep across Xiaoguai's body, she followed the place where the bottle mouth was pointing and sprayed the potion one by one.

Every time it sprayed, it made a painful choking sound and its body trembled. Seeing this, she felt very distressed. She kept muttering, "Little sweetheart, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."

After spraying the medicine all over half of its body, the bottle stopped facing it and was not retracted.

There are wounds on the other side.

Yu Miaomiao let the potion float in the air and stretched out her hands towards the zebra cat, which immediately earned her a glare from Xiaoguai and a low, threatening "Woo woo woo woo."

"You're still injured. Let me help you... get some treatment. You're angry with me again." Yu Miaomiao had no way to argue. She carefully examined the injuries on its body. Not only were they caused by the hail just now, but besides a broken thigh, there were other old injuries as well. There were even marks on its legs from being pulled by vines, which had not yet healed.

Poor little darling, why are there wounds all over his body?

Ignoring Xiaoguai's protests, she picked up a piece of meat and placed it in front of its field of vision, then held it with the other side and turned it over.

The meat on the ground was immediately picked up by it in its mouth. It nimbly broke free from her hand and plunged into the corner of the metal house. It continued to make unhappy "howls" while chewing the piece of barbecue in its mouth.

But fortunately, it exposed its entire butt and the other side of its body to Yu Miaomiao.

He took the potion and continued to spray it on the wounds. Every time he sprayed, the cat on the ground would let out a louder cry. The piece of meat in its mouth was gone, and it would make a hungry "meow".

The metal house was filled with the zebra cats' cries, almost drowning out the sound of hailstones falling overhead.

Perhaps feeling safe inside the house, Xiaoguai finished eating the piece of meat, turned around, and faced Yu Miaomiao, who had just sprayed the medicine and was holding a bandage.

The system will provide different medicine packs according to the injuries of the person being treated. Now she has two rolls of bandages in her hands.

How to tie its legs? She squatted down to find the angle, and bumped face to face with Xiaoguai who was sniffing towards her.

A big tiger's face appeared in front of her. At this time, Xiaoguai gradually lost his fear and became curious. He looked at her with a pair of big sapphire eyes. She could see her figure in its eyes.

Yu Miaomiao sighed in her heart, yes, this is Xiaoguai. When he looks at her, he is completely looking at her and will not look through her to see other things.

The next second, a wet tongue appeared between her nose and was about to lick her eyes.

Yu Miaomiao was so scared that she immediately sat back. Fortunately, she had a shield, otherwise her face would have been licked by the barbed tongue and she would have been skinned.

Xiaoguai looked at it suspiciously and let out a "Meow?"

"Little darling, don't lick me with your tongue anymore. You'll hurt me." Yu Miaomiao didn't care whether it could understand or not. After taking out a piece of meat, she started to bandage its hind legs.

Since she was little, Guai would be frightened by the spray, so she knew that the cat in front of her was sensitive to pain, so she moved very gently, for fear of causing secondary harm to it.

Fortunately, she had experienced the effect of the intermediate medical kit. The potions in it not only had healing abilities, but also had pain-relieving effects. When she was tying its legs, Xiaoguai did not struggle. Instead, he ate the meat happily, as if nothing had happened just now.

Alas, it’s better to be a cat, carefree.

Not really. When Yu Miaomiao saw the whole area of ​​missing flesh on its waist, her eyes couldn't hold back and turned red.

The blood and flesh were so messy that she didn't dare to look at it. She wrapped it around carefully a few times, and Xiaoguai stretched out his tongue again and licked her eyes.

Only then did she realize that it wanted to lick her tears.

Yu Miaomiao pursed her lips, wiped the tears from her cheeks, blocked its tongue with her arm guard, rubbed its head and said, "Little cutie, thank you, I won't cry anymore, you don't have to lick me anymore."

Xiaoguai meowed in a daze.

It understood everything, even that it was probably injured so badly yesterday in order to let her come into the house earlier.

If it wasn't to remind her, Xiaoguai was so powerful, how could he be hurt so easily.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have become... a replica of the final boss of the expedition site.

While applying medicine to Xiaoguai, she was wondering why the monster looked so much like Xiaoguai, or rather, like the Xiaoguai from last night.

Xiaoguai is covered in wounds today, so why did the replica at the exploration site in the afternoon only copy it from last night?

Even the little darling who was strong enough to meet no matter how old he was was from last night.

Why are they all from last night? Is there something special about Xiaoguai last night?

Thinking of the scenes in the final area of ​​the previous expeditions, Yu Miaomiao copied the appearance of Xiaoguai when he first saw him. At that time, it was not injured, not thin, and very strong.

The same is true for the final boss of Dark Oasis, who was encountered by everyone no matter how old they were.

Why did the final boss change last night? Is it because...

Because Xiaoguai has become stronger and more powerful.

Last night, Xiaoguai brought hundreds of monsters to find her. You should know that before, the limit of monsters that Xiaoguai could bring was only dozens. This was the first time she saw a scene of hundreds of monsters.

With such strong deterrence and monster dominance, the zebra cat must be the stronger one.

In other words, the final boss of the expedition is to copy the strongest zebra cat.

Is he the strongest zebra cat or the strongest monster?

The answer is obvious.

Because the strongest monster she had ever seen was Xiaoguai, so she was facing a copy of Xiaoguai.

The strongest monster that Huabie and Iris had ever seen was the second-to-last monster, so they were facing a monster that was a duplicate of the second one.

Is it strong no matter how old you are?

His base is near Miaomiao's original base, so it is very likely that he ran into Xiaoguai who went to find her before, so he saw the same zebra cat clone.

He was lucky to have seen the strongest monster at once.

So the poisonous meat that Xiaoguai brought back that day was put there by his group.

Yu Miaomiao stroked Xiaoguai with one hand while browsing new posts and ranking information.

The cat's body, which was originally stiff, gradually relaxed. On the comfortable and warm floor, it softened its body and unconsciously lay on its side, with its head reaching out to lick the hind legs.

Yu Miaomiao stopped its head in time and scratched its chin with her fingers. A thunderous "gurgling" sound came out of its mouth. It looked very enjoyable to see it squinting its eyes.

She didn't dare close her eyes and practice the tortoise breathing technique tonight. She had to keep an eye on Xiaoguai and prevent him from licking his wounds until the intermediate medical kit had taken effect.

Judging from its appearance, it should have temporarily adapted to the environment indoors, but should we let it go when daybreak?

She wasn't sure whether the monster was afraid of the sun or just couldn't stand the exposure and heat during the day, so she didn't dare put Xiaoguai in danger.

I searched on the forum first, and no one has ever tried to catch a live monster and bring it into the house. After all, this thing is not livestock, and there is no benefit in keeping it in captivity except to scare it.

Then she will catch one tomorrow to try and confirm the feasibility of Xiaoguai staying by her side.

The hail lasted for a full 20 minutes, and people around the world kept complaining about the increasingly difficult living environment in the apocalypse.

Of course, some people followed Yu Miaomiao's advice and installed metal plates, and then blamed her for being too hot during the day. But soon, others quoted her post and said, "The cat god warned you a long time ago that you wouldn't eat even if you put food in your mouth."

Her posts have been quoted by more than one person. As more and more people read them, their collection popularity has also reached the first page. People no longer just read her posts as scientific popularization messages about adventures, but more hope to see some survival knowledge points that she unintentionally revealed in her posts.

Survivors have already experienced common survival knowledge firsthand.

Only by listening to people like Miaomiao Buqashui who have unlocked more functions and completed the adventure can they learn more practical information that goes beyond their current knowledge.

Yu Miaomiao didn't expect that the post she casually posted would be so popular. She pinched Xiaoguai's soft pads and thought to herself, next time she encounters a fake cat, how can she tell the real one from the fake at a glance?

Regarding the promise made with the ostrich feather duster, she didn't know whether the clone had copied the consciousness along with it. It seemed that every time they went to the Dark Oasis, it was a test of the bond between her and Xiaoguai.

It just so happened that she didn't get a new Dark Oasis card today, and since she had limited time each day, she should go to other adventure areas to improve her strategy progress.

Yu Miaomiao has an adventure card for two places. She prefers the Devil's Bend adventure area. Apart from the unpredictable environment, the other places here are not as abnormal as the Prank Cave. She will go there when her condition is more complete.

“Eh—”

She was still sorting out information about Devil's Bend when she heard the plaintive cry of the cat beside her.

Is he hungry again? She fed Xiaoguai 15 pieces of barbecue today, and his stomach became bloated. How could he be hungry in such a short time?

I saw her pinching the padded leg and pulling it back. It seemed unhappy about being held like this.

Isn’t this the broken leg? Is it healed now?

Yu Miaomiao said, "Let me check it out," as she picked up a corner of the bandage and took a look. The wound inside had already scabbed over. As she moved, the hair under her hand twitched.

“Eh—”

open.

She understood and quickly let go of her hand. Xiaoguai's feet were free and he stood up immediately.

Seeing that its limbs were unharmed and it could move, she finally felt relieved and sighed, thinking that she still needed to use the intermediate medical kit.

"Meow." Thirsty.

Yu Miaomiao took out the boiled filtered water and put it in a basin. It buried its head and drank it with relish. It drank half a bowl of water in the basin.

After drinking, Xiaoguai shook his body and stood up. He first stretched out his feet with his front paws, then stood up, and his tiger head hit the roof all of a sudden. A bang and the cat's screams sounded at the same time.

Seeing his aggrieved look, Yu Miaomiao immediately started to rub it. Her house was too small and it was really difficult to accommodate such a big zebra cat.

After feeling comfortable with the massage, Xiaoguai turned his head to get away from her hands. This time he had learned his lesson and did not straighten his body. Instead, he kicked his hind legs on the spot. One leg slid backwards and the other leg wrapped in bandages just stretched out when his body was tripped by the straps.

The entire cat god fell heavily to the ground on the metal and wood floor with a "thump".

Looking at its clumsy appearance, Yu Miaomiao recovered from the pain just now in an instant. She said it was smart but would fall down if it was stupid, and she said it was stupid but knew to come to her every night.

In fact, bringing it back was the best option. With injuries, hunger and fatigue, she felt it would be difficult for it to avoid such large hailstones.

After confirming that the wounds on its body had healed and there was no more bleeding or festering, she removed the bandages on Xiaoguai who was lying on the side.

Xiaoguai licked his paws and let the human toss him around. After she left, he arched his body, sniffed the roof stealthily, walked to the fireplace and sniffed the smell of fire, and after exploring back and forth, he put his head on Yu Miaomiao's bed and took a nap with his eyes closed, leaving behind a "meow-"

It's tired and needs to be masturbated.

Yu Miaomiao took out the workbench when she saw that it was no longer seriously injured. She planned to make some more weapons and protective gear.

The intermediate shield on her body only had 30 points of durability left. She still had two pieces in her backpack, but she planned to prepare 5 pieces when going to an unfamiliar place.

The cat and the man were quiet and harmonious in the crackling sound of the fire. When Yu Miaomiao was tired, she reached out and touched the cat's body, and Xiaoguai's purring never stopped.

[Successfully trigger the lucky trait, synthesize intermediate shield*5]

Wow, this luck value was triggered at the perfect time.

Yu Miaomiao walked to Xiaoguai and patted its head. "Xiaoguai, you are really my lucky baby."

"Ao—" As soon as the words fell, the howling of wolves came one after another outside the house.

Xiaoguai got up from the bed, his beard pointing forward, and he crawled on the ground as if ready to fight.

Each shot was louder than the last. The turrets at the four corners were activated at the same time. There was a rumbling sound of artillery fire outside the house. There must be a lot of monsters coming.

The sand wall can block human vision, but it cannot prevent monsters from perceiving humans.

After looking at the zebra cat that had entered a fighting state, circling anxiously and rubbing its head against the metal wall, Yu Miaomiao opened the door.

A cat shadow quickly scurried out, and when she followed it out, she saw the cat's claws scratching the stone wall.

Yu Miaomiao hurried over to open the door for it. Fortunately, Xiaoguai did not choose to hit the wall directly.

The zebra cat rushed out of the stone wall like a wild horse, and pounced on the wolves excitedly.

The three wolves, who were originally showing their fangs and looking aggressive, turned around and ran away when they saw Xiaoguai, the big devil. Some of them had only their teeth half-bared, and their gums didn't even cover them, when they ran back panting. Some of the skinny wolves ran slowly and became stepping stones for the others.

In her perspective, a black and white shadow was jumping around in the green area. Some three-headed wolves were unable to dodge, and a head or a bloody leg would fly out of the pack from time to time.

The scene was bloody yet funny. Yu Miaomiao was not worried about Xiaoguai's safety. What she was thinking about was giving it a bath again.

Xiaoguai became more and more excited as the wolves retreated, and he moved back with them.

More than ten minutes later, the cat and the wolf pack disappeared into the darkness.

Yu Miaomiao had three question marks on her head. Did he run away while playing?

It was hard for her to figure out whether Xiaoguai did it on purpose or unintentionally. Did he just run away after eating and drinking?

Back in the house, she concentrated on practicing the tortoise breathing technique. In order for her and Xiaoguai to survive, she had to become stronger.

A dreamless night.

The morning sun shone through the glass onto Yu Miaomiao, and she stretched lazily.

Last night, when she finished the last movement of the Turtle Breathing Exercise, she intentionally leaned against the bed, so when she woke up, she was in bed.

Looking out the window, she saw a trickle of water flowing out on the sand, and she checked the time.

Desert Survival Day 24 07:24

I woke up later today than yesterday. The central air conditioning in the house started automatically and a cool breeze blew, indicating that it was already very hot outside.

Even with such a strong sun, it still hasn't been able to dry up the hailstones that fell last night. If this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before the water turns into a river.

The stone wall outside the door was completely smashed by hail in the second half of the night, leaving only some broken stones outside the door. She picked up all the ones she could. Fortunately, the pile of sand had not yet dispersed, so she hurriedly built four more walls and put them in order again.

Even though there was water all around her, she still felt hot. She finished a bottle of ice mineral water, tried to squat and get more water for a long time, and finally filled the bottle after sweating all over. She checked the description of the items in her backpack.

[Name: A bottle of sea water (1/1)

Level: 5

Summary: Salty and briny, with water mixed in with the salt.

Properties: Filter twice for domestic and agricultural use; it is recommended to filter three or more times before use.

seawater…

Yu Miaomiao can swim, but she has never tried swimming in the sea, let alone living on the sea. When she thinks of the vast ocean, she feels an inexplicable sense of fear.

The death toll was slightly lower than the previous two days, but the number kept changing until she saw the first sandstorm coming, and the number finally stopped.

In this cruel apocalypse, she cannot stop. Once she makes 10 more single-gun magazines, she will set out for a new adventure.

There is still no new information in the cross-server chat.

Through the group chat, Yu Miaomiao learned that Api and Lulu had set out for the adventure before dawn.

On the leaderboard, Lulu has reached 19th place. Yu Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh that Lulu's progress was so fast in just her second time there. She was so strong.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Lulu you are amazing, the progress has reached 15%."

"Pangpang: This time I wanted to see if I could clear the level, so I didn't go back to the treasure chests I'd already opened, especially the side paths. If I clear the level, all the monsters will disappear, and going back to open the chests will save me ammo, but it will take more time."

Hmm? Lulu's idea was a good one. If Yu Miaomiao didn't only need one round of ammunition to kill the monsters, and she wanted to meet Xiaoguai every day, she would have to use the most efficient and reliable method, which was to collect them all the way.

After the magazine was made, she opened the system interface, found the Devil's Bend Adventure Card, and used it.

[A player has already entered this area, but the right to use the expedition area has not yet been released. Do you need to apply to enter? ]

【Reasons for application：】

Someone.

She also has another numbered expedition card.

“Ding ding.”

"Pangpang: Sister Meow Meow! The person you're looking for has appeared!"

"Meow Meow is not short of water: You mean 'one'? ."
