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 219: Survival at Sea Day 4 (5) No More Than 20 Seconds...
Throughout the apocalypse, the only thing that won’t change is the daily card draw.
Three yellow cards with an ocean background appeared in front of me.
The color looks familiar, so it must be a combat-type card drawing gift pack.
Yu Miaomiao focused her eyes on the first card. A bunch of blue bubbles wrapped around the vines layer by layer, making it look lively and energetic.
After opening it, it said: "Underwater Recharge Combat Resource Card."
Underwater charging?
Does it refer to the survivor's oxygen recharge, or the temporary weapon recharge during combat?
The system often doesn't explain cards and other functions all at once, leaving it up to the survivors to figure it out on their own. So Yu Miaomiao feels that what Iris sees or understands may not be the same as the actual result. It's just that she hasn't received a reply from the other party yet, and she doesn't know what information Iris got that made her decide not to try anymore.
Don't really give up.
The yellow card in the middle became more transparent, the blue waters more like green, and even the vines embedded in the card became thinner and lighter, like strands of leaves floating on the sea. On the back of the card was written "Sea Vehicle Card."
She had drawn vehicle cards before. At that time, there were no clear definitions of cards, so she drew a variety of vehicles.
There was a balance car made, which helped her when she was looking for treasure.
There was also the making of a tricycle. She made one, but it was impossible to pedal on the sand.
There is also the Dragon Boat, an item that is only used twice in the expedition area.
But this time it is obviously different, it refers specifically to vehicles that can be used at sea.
But if it only works at sea, it basically means that after these 20 days of sea survival world, it will be useless in other worlds.
For example, items like boats are useless in desert or snowy environments.
Let’s take a look at what the last one is.
One card is half blue and half yellow, covered with vines, with no other decorations. The brightness of the card is also much darker than the previous two.
"Life and combat resource card."
Oh, it is an item with two attributes, or the gift package contains both living resources and combat resources.
It's too general and not very helpful for survival now. Nowadays, everyone has no shortage of common daily necessities.
Yu Miaomiao thought about it carefully and selected the first card before the countdown ended.
[System Notice: Underwater Charging Combat Resource Card Rewards Begin]
[Successfully trigger the Lucky trait, and receive Underwater Fast Sinking and Ascending Shoelaces*2, Underwater Smoke Bomb*2, High-Quality Sand*350, Titanium Ingot*10, Refined Titanium Ingot*20, Slime*14, and Oxygen Recharge Slot Crafting Drawing*2.]
【Name: Underwater fast sinking and rising shoelaces (10/10)
Level: 32
Introduction: A pair of shoes can take you around the world, a pair of shoelaces can help you see the world quickly
Attributes: Tightening the shoelaces allows the wearer to quickly reach the seabed, while loosening the shoelaces allows the wearer to quickly reach the surface of the sea.
It can only be used 10 times, which should be once for each sinking or rising. It seems to be just a temporary tool. This kind of special item is basically disposable and cannot be repaired.
Although the rewards from daily card draws are very limited, they are better than nothing.
[System prompt: Player Meow Meow is not short of water and has unlocked the production of oxygen tanks. Wisdom value increased by 1.]
She really needed something to improve her underwater combat ability. It was very troublesome to refill the oxygen tank every time. In addition, if she wanted to go to the Crystal Palace exploration site, the oxygen could not be replaced temporarily. This thing was already available in Hua Bie, but he got it from the treasure. Yu Miaomiao learned the production process directly.
According to Hua Bie, with this thing, three oxygen cylinders can be installed at the same time, which not only extends the combat time, but also eliminates the worry of not having enough time to replace them.
She could only make a temporary trip to the expedition site today just to hand over the information strip.
Normal battles in the sea all depend on Xiaoguai's preferences. Whether he comes to help depends on his mood.
However, if you want to take Xiaoguai with you to the adventure site, you will need to solve a problem: Xiaoguai's underwater breathing.
Without saying anything, Yu Miaomiao took out another oxygen mask from her backpack, adjusted the mask to a larger size, and put it on the head of Xiaoguai who was playing with a tetherball.
Suddenly there was something on his head, and Xiaoguai immediately twisted his head, making meowing sounds while scratching the mask with his claws, and banged his head into the corner in discomfort.
Yu Miaomiao quickly took it down, confirmed that this thing could indeed be used for zebra cats, and began to explain it to Xiaoguai.
She first pointed to the mask on her head, then pointed to the floor below, "This is for us to breathe underwater. If you want to go into the water with me, you have to wear this."
"Meow?"
Xiaoguai tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face, scratched his ears with his paws, and smoothed out the hair that had just been messed up by humans.
"Wear this and breathe in the sea."
Yu Miaomiao gestured again, ready to try it on Xiaoguai again, letting it get used to the feeling first, and then train it to go into the water.
"Meow--"
There was some reluctance in his voice, but he seemed to understand what she meant.
Yu Miaomiao raised her mask and asked, "Then try again?"
After she finished speaking, she raised the mask and tried to put it on Xiaoguai's head, but he dodged it with a swift movement, "Woo woo woo—"
Yu Miaomiao raised the mask helplessly and pointed at the thing on her head, "If you don't wear it, you won't be able to find me if I disappear in the future."
It was difficult for her to explain the expedition, so this was the only way she could say it.
A pair of sapphire eyes were full of grievance and confusion, and the round eye sockets were a little red.
She didn't know why Xiaoguai was suddenly like this. Was he thinking of something bad? Or was her tone too harsh?
She grabbed Xiaoguai, hugged its back and said, "I don't mean anything else, Xiaoguai. You have to wear this mask so that you can go exploring with me. Otherwise, my scent will disappear and you won't be able to find me."
She kept talking and soothing Xiaoguai's emotions, and his originally tense body gradually softened.
It wouldn't think that she was going to abandon it, right? Could it be because it spent a lot of time looking for itself during the 30 days of survival in the desert?
Yu Miaomiao looked at Xiaoguai and said seriously, "Only by wearing this thing when going into the water can we stay together."
She pointed to the sea outside the window again, and saw the golden sunlight shining on the calm sea surface, which was very magnificent.
How wonderful it would be if this wasn’t the end of the world.
"Meow~"
"You agree?"
Yu Miaomiao came back to her senses and asked happily.
"Meow."
Xiaoguai should understand and know the function of this mask and its limitations underwater, but he just hates the feeling of this mask.
When Yu Miaomiao put the oxygen mask over its head, he could still feel its resistance.
After putting the mask on completely this time, she saw that it had obviously doubled in size. It seemed that Xiaoguai had grown a lot bigger than on the first day.
A pair of innocent eyes looked over through the mask.
"Meow, meow, meow."
Xiaoguai stretched out his claws to grab the mask, but when his hand touched the mask shell, he retracted it and kept making uncomfortable noises.
Yu Miaomiao pointed at the oxygen tank and said, "Shall we go in the water and try it?"
There are no monsters and abnormal weather now. Although the midday sun is a bit hot, the sea world is not that hot. We must try it before dark.
“Meow—”
Xiaoguai cried out in pain and could no longer control himself as he began to pull at the mask where his neck and cheeks met, wanting to remove this uncomfortable thing.
"Okay, okay, once you're feeling better, we'll try again."
Seeing that Xiaoguai was about to cry, Yu Miaomiao had to help it take it off immediately.
Xiaoguai felt more free in his head, and quickly curled up on his mat, combing his fur with his paws, turning his head away as if he didn't want to pay any attention to Yu Miaomiao.
“Ding ding.”
"Hua Bie: I'm almost ready. If you're okay with me, shall we set off now?"
"Meow Meow: Wait a minute, I'll give Lulu the blueprint for the oxygen tank first, and then I'll come back."
"Hanabetsu: Do you want to go on an adventure too?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Not for now, I'll give you the things and then I'll leave."
Yu Miaomiao heard Lulu say that she planned to wait for Hua Bie to come back and go underwater to find an adventure site. Thinking that this thing might be useful to Lulu, she might as well give it to her. They would be living together in the future, and she might have to trouble Lulu to do things for them.
"Hua Bie: Okay, tell me when you're better."
After sending the message, Huabie closed the dialog box with a sense of disappointment.
Although it is hard to say what this loss is, but behind the loss, there is a kind of indescribable joy.
What are you happy about or sad about?
It's not like he hasn't seen the other person before.
No, it was just that after they met, he clearly felt something different, so he couldn't help but fall in love with her.
I was startled by Yingying's gossip joke this morning.
"Brother Huabie, you're going to an adventure location, why do you shave your beard and dress up so well? Are you planning to secretly meet someone you like?"
Why did he secretly tidy up his appearance? He didn't want Meow Meow to see his sloppy appearance. Isn't it because... he likes it?
For the first time, he faced his inner feelings and throbbing emotions. After receiving a message from the other party saying "I'm fine, please invite me", his heart couldn't stop beating wildly.
After Yu Miaomiao sent out the waiting message, she did not receive a reply from the other party for a long time. She checked the other party's location and found that they were still in the sea survival world and had not reached the exploration area. Could it be that they were delayed by something? Just when she was about to ask another question, she received a request to form a team.
She glanced at Xiaoguai who was still combing her hair, and walked out of the house. The dazzling sunlight made her feel dizzy.
After confirming that Xiaoguai was fine, she clicked to confirm the team formation and accepted the invitation to enter the expedition area.
The next moment, Yu Miaomiao's eyes and head were dizzy, and her feet moved from the float to another piece of soft land.
Her first reaction was that it wasn't the Crystal Palace, but Fishman Island.
It turns out that Fishman Island is a real island, not an underwater world.
There was green grass all around, and right in front of her stood a man also wearing an oxygen mask.
The man was tall and strong, with his back to her. He must be Hua Bie.
He was wearing a black work suit and shooting an arrow. From a distance, they could see three fishmen with red blood bars jumping towards the two of them.
She can’t stay in the adventure area for more than 1 minute, otherwise Xiaoguai will rush into the water to find her.
She was not clear about the rules of Fishman Island and was afraid that her wrong operation would affect Hua Bie's exploration progress. So after he raised his hand and fired three bows in succession, killing three fishmen in three seconds, she rushed forward and stuffed the cloth strip into the palm of his hand that he had just retracted.
Yu Miaomiao saw the other party's hand tighten and then loosen, and saw that he held the cloth strip again. Before the other party turned around, he shouted loudly in the mask, "Remember to read the note, I'm leaving first", and then clicked on the holographic screen to leave the team and returned to his small boat float.
The whole process takes no more than 20 seconds.
When she returned to her original place, she saw Xiaoguai standing on the edge of the float. One of its paws was already testing the water surface, and its entire head was almost buried in the water.
