Chapter 201 Desert Survival Day 30 (2) Just now, something happened...

Api is more active in person than on the Internet. Yu Miaomiao did not see Lulu's previous worries or any abnormal emotions on Api's face. She planned to talk to Api more when they were in a safe house at night.

Although Api and Lulu did not have the card for the prank cave, Yu Miaomiao still told them about the situation in the expedition area yesterday and spent a long time discussing the battle plan with Api.

So now, Yu Miaomiao is slashing the snake with a knife in the front, and Api is collecting the unpacking fluid in the back.

The plan is to give all the early treasure chest progress to Api, since Yu Miaomiao has opened them all, and split the supplies in half. This is efficient and a win-win situation, and we will try to complete this adventure area before dark.

The two talked and laughed all the way. Even though they were in a dark cave, Yu Miaomiao didn't have to walk on thin ice all the time. It turned out that one more person meant a little more safety.

Thinking about the previous adventures alone, it was boring and he had to be extremely careful all the time. Now that he is with Api, he doesn't have to worry at all. As long as he leaves his back to Api, even those leech eggs won't have a chance to land on Yu Miaomiao.

And this time, they even found a bound Prank Cave Expedition Card in the mirror branch treasure chest. When they collected a moss bag with the word "clown" written all over the wall, they all laughed at the system for making useless things.

Although the expedition card is in Api's backpack, the two of them will act together in the future, so there is no distinction between you and me.

When the two passed the first cliff, they landed on the ground in two seconds. Api, who was wearing a parachute, said that the durability of the advanced shield only dropped by 1 point.

Although the map and branch monsters this time are almost exactly the same as last time, the time and height of the cliff fall are different, so they still cannot let their guard down.

When passing by a road covered with pink snails, Yu Miaomiao usually walks several meters ahead, uses a biological sensor to confirm the location of the snake, communicates with Api, and then strangles the snake with a blood-dropping dart when Api rushes over.

And because Api's strength, stamina and agility are very high, even if too much snail liquid is sprayed, Api can still jump over in one step. With this long jump distance, it is not a problem for him to participate in any long jump competition.

The two of them cooperated with each other surprisingly well and arrived at the second fork in the road twice as fast as Yu Miaomiao's last time.

Yu Miaomiao pointed at the secret door with her flashlight and said, "This should be where we'll go out later. After you push open the door on the right, I'll hold the door on the left. Then you can check the situation inside the middle secret door first. After confirming that there's no problem inside, we can go in a second time."

A Pi followed Yu Miaomiao all the way. She felt that the little girl in front of her was very tall and mighty in her eyes. Not only was she fast at killing monsters, but she also had a thorough battle plan and was very vigilant. She artificially formed a barrier to protect her, which made her feel at ease, and she immediately agreed.

After Yu Miaomiao shouted "Open", Api quickly pushed open the door on the right and ran towards the secret door in the middle.

The middle door creaked open, and the door on the right quickly closed. Yu Miaomiao, holding onto the left door, felt a resistance. She struggled to hold it in place and asked, "Api, what's going on in there? Be careful, there might be monsters."

Api's voice came from the side: "There is some red light, but there are currently no monsters displayed on the biological sensor."

Yu Miaomiao asked worriedly, "What about the terrain? Are there any cliffs or moving rock walls on both sides?"

If it is red, it may be a plant unique to the Mischief Cave - sour red melon, which is also one of the ingredients for making sauerkraut cunning catfish meat.

Yu Miaomiao had heard Iris mention this before. If it was this kind of plant, it meant that there might be flames inside that could erupt at any time.

Hua Bie also mentioned this flame, saying that it is harmless, but you have to be careful of the red beetles that come out of the flame. One or two are not a problem and can be driven away with water, but if there are too many, they will cause an explosion, so you have to carefully control the number.

As for the specific number, he did not give an answer, because he said that when he encountered the red beetle explosion, he had no extra water in his backpack to spray, so when he saw a lot of red bugs, he just left. He only saw a red flame from the explosion. He was not sure how much damage it would cause, nor was he sure how many bugs it would take.

So Yu Miaomiao deliberately collected more hail water these days and prepared to use it here.

As for why Huabie knew it, it was Yingying who told him, and Yingying got the information from the beautiful girl Zhuangshi.

The secret door in the middle gradually closed, and Yu Miaomiao and Api were standing there replenishing their energy.

Ah Pi bit into the crispy dough sticks and drank the hot soy milk, feeling very satisfied. "Sister Miaomiao, how come you have so many delicious foods? Woo woo woo, I'm so touched."

Yu Miaomiao observed the patterns on the stone gate with a flashlight, eating celery and beef fried rice noodles and replied, "Yes, I asked you to come earlier, but you didn't come. I saved a special portion of soy milk for you. I remember you can't drink milk."

"Hehe." After finishing his meal, A-Pi also looked at it and asked, "Sister Miaomiao, why are there these vine patterns everywhere?"

Yu Miaomiao confirmed that the pattern was indeed the same as last time. It seemed that this one hadn't changed. "I feel like it's an evolution of the company logo of this apocalyptic game. The back of the prop card in my hand is the same, the back of the draw card is the same, and even the vines binding Xiaoguai are the same. I wonder what they want to do with the vines, to rebuild the world?"

Yu Miaomiao told Api about Xiaoguai along the way.

Api nodded and replied, "I also feel that this apocalyptic system is talking about the apocalypse, but it's more like creating a new world of its own, and using elimination to select humans who are adapted to survive the apocalypse. However, I haven't noticed the feeling of being observed that you mentioned. Am I too insensitive?"

Yu Miaomiao carefully felt the feeling of being observed, and now it seemed that she didn't have it anymore, so she vaguely told Api about the hidden mission she had received in Devil's Bend.

"What? So there really is..." Api swallowed the rest of his words after seeing Yu Miaomiao shushing him. He said in a somewhat depressed tone, "It turns out it's not that they don't observe me, it's that there's nothing worth observing about me. It's just a line of useless data."

Yu Miaomiao immediately retorted, "You are the best version of yourself. Why do you care about those observers? Isn't it better not to be observed? Why don't you think about how many people your current physical strength and power values ​​surpass."

Api's expression, which had just withered, was instantly ignited by these words. "Yeah, I actually feel sad because I'm not being observed. Sister Miaomiao, do you think I'm sick? Maybe recently, recently..."

Yu Miaomiao noticed that Api's eyes were a little empty, so she asked tentatively, "Is it because of Ziren?"

Api nodded. "Well, I don't plan to save Ziren anymore. He told me straight up that he had indeed joined a murder gang. He also told me about the conditions at that base. It's simply a slaughterhouse of evil. I really can't imagine why he would join them. He's obviously such a good person."

Yu Miaomiao listened quietly without saying anything. If she joined in blaming Ziren, it would only make Api more and more sad.

What does it mean to join a murder gang? It means picking up a knife, targeting innocent survivors, and becoming a complete collusion with the bad guys.

But even so, Wang Bingliang still said that he could help Yu Miaomiao kill Ziren, which shows that they did not really want to accept Ziren and were just using him.

Listening to what Api said, it turns out that the murderer had been attacking other survivors since he first came to the apocalypse.

Moreover, this apocalypse was far more cruel than she had imagined. In fact, some children were teleported here at first, but the number was very small. The newcomer gift packs those children received contained invisibility cloaks, so the invisibility cloak that Yu Miaomiao took from Blue Hidden World was the one he snatched from the dead child.

Unexpectedly, when the murderer came to this lawless place, the first person he attacked was the weakest child.

Thinking that in the real world, that person is a person who would use cruel methods on innocent cats, coming here is like completely releasing his "nature".

Damn it.

When Yu Miaomiao heard this, her eyes turned cold and she made a decision in her heart. No matter whether that person was trying to hurt her in collusion with Wang Bingliang, or what he had done in past and present lives, he deserved death.

While resting on the spot, she asked Api a lot of questions about the killing base. The two stayed there for a while to replenish their energy.

"Now that we're full, let's go!" Yu Miaomiao finished eating the mutton pot cake and stood up.

A-Pi also wiped his hands and said, "Yeah! Let's get through the customs as soon as possible, so we can go back and eat hot pot and pet the big cats!"

The two optimized the rhythm of pushing the stone door according to the method they had agreed on. When the secret door in the middle was half open, Api quickly ran over to open the door. The next second, Yu Miaomiao rushed in first, and Api followed closely behind.

With a creaking sound of stones moving, the door behind him closed.

The previous roads were all connected front to back, and this is the first time I have seen a one-way road.

She thought that after the two of them came in, the door behind them would stop closing, but unexpectedly it still closed. Fortunately, her plan was for the two of them to come in at the same time, otherwise someone would be locked outside.

But it shouldn’t matter, since we can invite people to form a team anyway.

The passage was about five meters wide. As they entered, the stone walls on both sides glowed red. There was a flaming ravine at the junction of the stone wall and the road.

Occasionally, fiery red magma would roll up in the ravine, but it would soon be extinguished by an inexplicable cool breeze and turned into a layer of dark red slurry.

But Yu Miaomiao, who was walking in the middle of the road, could only feel a little bit of sticky and fishy wind, but she didn't know where the wind came from.

The cave above her head was very high and the top could not be seen clearly. Not far ahead, there were a few stalactites hanging upside down in the air, but they were also very high, at least one or two meters away from her head. She didn't know if there were any snakes hiding inside.

She had confirmed several times that there were no other names next to the progress bar of the holographic system. In addition, the treasure chest had indeed not been opened by anyone before, so she was relieved that this adventure site was indeed hers alone.

So after entering this passage, she habitually opened the holographic system to check the time, but found that the holographic system could not be opened.

"Api, can you open the holographic screen? It seems to be stuck." Yu Miaomiao tried several times but couldn't open the holographic screen. This was the first time she encountered it since the apocalypse, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

I saw Api turn on his screen with his mind, and all the functions inside were used and displayed normally.

Why can't hers be opened?

Just as they entered the corridor, sparks began to ignite again near the bottom of the stone walls on both sides of the road. Several red beetles ran out from the flames and crawled towards their feet.

Yu Miaomiao subconsciously used the spray device in the advanced backpack expander and sprayed it at the red bug.

At the same time, Api took out a spray from his backpack and sprayed it at the red bugs running out from the other side.

After spraying, she realized that her things were still there, and the things in the advanced backpack expander could still be taken out, but she couldn't see them.

She had no idea what was preventing her from seeing the holographic screen, and she didn't have time to stay there to study it because the red worms kept appearing.

She tried and found that she could still take out other items such as jet devices from the advanced backpack expander, which meant that the return card was still usable. Anyway, she had placed the important items in the advanced backpack expander that could be used at any time. It didn't have a big impact at the moment, so she decided to finish the adventure first. If it didn't work out, she could go back.

Seeing the spray and other devices in her hands, Api also understood what was going on and comforted her: "Sister Miaomiao, I still have water and food in my bag, don't worry."

Yu Miaomiao replied, "The things in the advanced backpack expander can still be taken out and used. I also put some food in there. I was worried that we would be trapped here. As long as the things are usable, it's okay. I can also use the return card at any time."

"Yeah." Although Api said comforting words, she was still a little nervous in her heart. After all, she has always been dependent on her sister Miaomiao. Now the other party's actions seem to be restricted by the system, which always makes people feel uneasy.

They had no choice but to keep moving forward. Api leaned on Yu Miaomiao intentionally, and the originally relaxed atmosphere of the adventure became a little heavy.

Apart from reminding each other about the red beetles that appeared around them and temporarily discussing how to kill the stalactite snake, the two of them deliberately didn't say anything more and remained silent all the way.

"careful!"

Yu Miaomiao stabbed the monster that pounced from the sky with a knife. The monster was a transparent creature that was flat and disc-shaped. There were countless small tentacles like suction cups growing under its disc-shaped body. After her blade touched its soft body, the monster immediately shrank into a long ball, bounced back to the stalactite in front of her, merged with the stone and disappeared.

Api carefully shone the flashlight over there. The stalactite was exactly the same as the one he had just seen. There was no difference at all. "Sister Meow Meow, it... seems to be gone."

Yu Miaomiao felt something was wrong from the beginning. How could a good Mars be blown out by a strange wind? It turned out that there were monsters squatting on the top of the cave, and the wind was their breath.

"I can't see the health bar. Is it an active or passive attack on the monster? Did you see it just now?" Yu Miaomiao took out the advanced backpack expander and pointed the biological sensor into the air.

Api stammered, "I was just scared. I didn't think to open the holographic screen to take a look. I will definitely see it next time."

I scanned the entire area back and forth with the probe, but there was no display. I even shone it into the molten lava, but there was no response.

It's probably not a malfunction of the instrument. The red beetle underground and the monster above her head are more than 10 meters away from her, so they can't be photographed.

She had never heard anyone else talk about the monster above her head, and of course she hadn't seen the other monsters that Hua Bie had mentioned, so the path she and Api were taking now was another one that no one had ever experienced.

There was no turning back, either move forward or go back, so she took Api and continued to move forward.

After they eliminated two more batches of red worms, the strange flying disc-shaped monster fell from above their heads again.

"Look!" Yu Miaomiao reminded while taking out a shotgun and firing a shot at the flying monster.

Dozens of steel balls scattered on the monster, and it immediately swallowed all the bullets with its transparent gelatinous body. There was no expected gunshot or explosion sound, and then it turned into a lump again, slapped its body against the wall, and merged with the wall.

Then the steel balls that it had swallowed reappeared where it disappeared and slid down the stone wall.

Yu Miaomiao pulled Api up and ran forward, asking, "Did you see clearly?"

After they ran away, the moment the steel balls fell into the molten lava, a loud noise erupted, and with a "bang", the boiling molten lava splashed out.

Although he escaped from the damage of the lava, Yu Miaomiao had already suffered from the rocks that exploded from the mountain. When he was telling Api that he might leave, the lava that had just risen up died down again.

“Boom—oh—”

The sound still echoed in the cave, but the lava had disappeared and there was no other movement on the surrounding stone walls. It seemed that the exploration site had not been blown up yet.

"Sister Meow Meow, that monster is called Lava Salamander. It shouldn't be the monster that actively attacks at the beginning. I seemed to see a little bit of yellow blood bar just now, although I'm not sure if it is the same as leeches, half red blood and half yellow blood." When Api said this, she used her hand to compare the blood bar ratio she saw.

Yu Miaomiao thought for a moment and replied, "That might be the case. The monsters here seem to have a short period of calm. I don't know what they are waiting for."

Could the system be so good that every monster would have a little bit of peace time?

Yu Miaomiao asked, "Is it the axolotl in salamander?"

Api nodded and typed the words she had just seen on the holographic screen.

Salamander is an aquatic creature. There is a type of salamander called the Axolotl, which is a cute animal that modern people like to raise. This type of creature has a certain regenerative ability.

But regeneration would not be the transformation we just saw, so the monster just now was called Lava Salamander, and it is another monster derived from the apocalypse.

Besides, why would aquatic animals appear in caves?

Yu Miaomiao: "If I remember correctly, salamanders eat insects. But they are apocalyptic monsters after all, so it's not surprising that they eat humans. If they still have the habit of eating insects, they may be eating the red beetles in the molten lava before humans arrive." Api quickly recovered from the tense battle just now and analyzed: "If their nature is still to eat those insects, they are afraid of fire, so they will want to blow out the lava. But once it is blown out, the insects will not come out. We are here, and when the insects attack, we will spray them with sea water to kill them. So when those monsters attack passively, they are actually eating the insects on the ground. They will not attack us until the yellow health bar is replaced by a red health bar?"

Yu Miaomiao nodded. "Well, so they didn't intend to attack us at first. Maybe there's no need to shoot right away. After all, this cave seems unstable, and I'm afraid it might cause another landslide."

"But speaking of it, although they came from the sky, judging from their gliding trajectory in the air, their target is indeed behind us, that is, those insects." After Api finished speaking, she walked back, and the big hand that Yu Miaomiao was holding slipped from her hand.

Yu Miaomiao followed and asked, "Api?"

Apei returned to the place he had passed by before, shone his flashlight, and shouted excitedly, "It's true, Sister Miaomiao, the bugs are gone."

No more?

Yu Miaomiao followed and took a look. The bodies of the insects that they had killed with mist were gone.

But the magma on both sides was still spraying out, so when did they finish eating the insect corpses?

This seems to contradict the results of the previous analysis.

Yu Miaomiao shook her head and said, "Something doesn't feel right. Anyway, let's keep going forward and be careful."

In fact, the problem was not the monster, but that they had been walking for almost an hour and the road had not been completed, and not even a new treasure chest appeared.

At first she thought that the treasure chest might have been left somewhere and she didn't see it, until Api also said that he hadn't seen it. Could it be that the treasure chest was on the stone wall or in the lava?

There were indeed no sand marks left on the ground, which meant that she did not go back. However, since entering the corridor, they only killed one stalactite snake and collected a bottle of liquid.

To open a box, you need five bottles to open one, so it’s not that she missed the box, but that the distance is just that long.

There was a fishy smell blowing around from time to time. This secret passage was really smelly and long.

Another lava salamander spread out its body and floated down from the sky. She immediately used her sickle to chop at the monster.

The high-speed flying sickle immediately pierced the soft bullet's body. She pulled it hard and said, "Api, when it gets close, just chop it into pieces with the machete."

"Okay!" Api held a big broadsword in both hands. The blade was wide and heavy. Yu Miaomiao couldn't lift it at all, but Api could still swing the sword like the wind.

As she dragged, she could feel a squeezing force coming along with the chain. At the same time, a sharp "sizzling" sound came from both sides of the wall. It was the monster's outstretched tentacles sliding on the stone wall. It seemed that it wanted to use this reaction force to resist Yu Miaomiao.

This road seemed endless if she continued walking on it. She vaguely felt that only by killing the monster could changes occur, so she simply used a stimulant, increased her "horsepower" and fought the lava salamander to the end.

“Crack—”

Api took two steps and jumped, then swung his sword and chopped down the monster in the air. A sound of mirror shattering was heard.

The next moment, the entire space suddenly turned fiery red, and countless flames burst out from all around, engulfing the two people in a sea of ​​fire.

"Don't leave yet!"

Yu Miaomiao heard Api's voice in her ears, and her whole body felt a stinging pain as if it was burned by fire. Then all her clothes turned to ashes in an instant. She was instantly without clothes to cover her body. Before she could use her return card, she was pulled into a soft embrace and a loose coat was immediately put on her body to wrap her up.

"Sister Meow Meow, Sister Meow Meow!"

The fiery red in his eyes gradually faded away, and Yu Miaomiao could see the scene in front of her clearly.

There is a long bridge in front of us, and below both sides of the bridge is real boiling magma, but strangely, it is not as hot as imagined.

She looked at herself and found that her clothes were indeed gone. She was wearing the red suit that Api had worn when he first came, and her skin did not have the burn marks as she had thought.

Looking up, Api's eyes were full of worry.

Yu Miaomiao was a little dazed and asked puzzledly: "What happened just now?"
