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 22 Desert Survival Day 5 (3) A Change in Mindset…
The mineral water bottle given by the system is reusable. After Yu Miaomiao took a bottle of well water, he put it in his backpack and hurriedly looked at the description of the item.
【Name: A bottle of well water (1/1)
Level: 1
Introduction: To be honest, it is quite dirty. If you drink it directly, you may get sick. However, it is more than enough for daily use.
Properties: Can be used directly in daily life and agriculture; drinking directly can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and even death, so it must be filtered before use.
Fortunately, she took an unnecessary step. If she had drunk it directly, she would have died here, which would have been too unfair.
Since it can be used as drinking water, what is more important to her right now is to wash the dirt off her body.
As for drinking water and filtration, she does have the technology to make simple water purification filters, so we'll see when we have more materials or less water.
I took three buckets of water to rinse myself thoroughly. My body was wet, and the restlessness from working for half a day was gone. You have to know that there is not much water to drink here, let alone the luxury of taking a shower.
By the time she got back to the cabin, she was almost dry.
Since the arm wound has healed, the back wound should also be healed. Yu Miaomiao took off the tourniquet and touched it with her backhand. There was indeed a faint scar, which should have been caused by the claws of the three wolves. But why didn't she feel it at that time?
The system message came again. Yu Miaomiao thought it was the news that Pipi's injury had healed, but it turned out to be his classmate, Lulu, who had contacted her before.
"Is Lulu here? Sister Miaomiao, do you have any water I can trade?"
Yu Miaomiao thought that once she made the filtration device, there would be no shortage of water at all, but she still responded cautiously.
"Meow Meow: I have one thing, what would you like to exchange for it?"
"Is Lulu here? I have nothing now... but I've learned two new crafting techniques: a small planter and a composter. Do you need them? If you need them, I can trade them, or any other crafting techniques I learn in the future, for a bottle of water."
Small planter boxes and composters?
Yu Miaomiao does have a tangerine sapling, but can it be planted in this box?
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I'm not sure if it will work for me. Can you show me the instructions for the planter box?"
"Is Lulu here?: Making a small planter box requires 2 pieces of nylon cloth, 4 parts clay, 2 pieces of wood, and 1 part quicklime. I don't have any of the materials, so I can't make anything ready, so I can't send it to you."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: You have no materials at all? I remember you had a lot of sand before."
After all, sand and slime can be directly synthesized into clay when added together. Since Lulu can talk to herself now, she must have killed at least a few beasts and collected slime.
Could it be that she doesn't know how to decompose it or that she doesn't have the synthesis process yet? She has seen many people in the world who know this synthesis process.
Yu Miaomiao had just finished guessing when she received new news.
"Is Lulu here? My brother took all my materials. I haven't dug any sand yet, but I'm so thirsty I don't have the energy anymore."
Take them all away… Yu Miaomiao felt unfamiliar when she heard these words, and after thinking for a while, she replied.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I will use water to trade these two items for you. Let's trade."
After Yu Miaomiao finished speaking, she sent a transaction request to the other party.
"Is Lulu here? Sister Miaomiao, you are truly my savior. You probably still need sand for the clay. I'll dig some sand for you after I rest for a while."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Don't worry, it's too hot now. Let's wait until we finish drawing the cards. Do you know how to get quicklime?"
Yu Miaomiao glanced at the time and found that it was already 11:43. She had been busy until this time without realizing it.
"Is Lulu here? You can make quicklime by burning stones in a furnace. I have a classmate who can make it. I'll contact him for you right now."
Yu Miaomiao could feel from the words sent by the other party that Lulu was a very sincere person. She didn't know how such a straightforward girl could come up with the idea of repaying a favor 120 times.
There were still 10 minutes left before the card draw at 12 o'clock, and people who were originally scrolling through the screen around the world asking for medical supplies stopped at the same time.
After just five days of surviving in the apocalypse, everyone's mentality has changed.
When they first arrived, many people just thought it was new and fun, and didn't even take the end of the world seriously. They thought it was just a virtual world or that there was so-called protection for novices, and they ate all the food on the first day.
Only when they began to experience the scorching heat of the day and the bitter cold of the night did they realize that they had entered a real survival world.
Some people are gradually running out of food and warmth resources, but this can be made up through exchanges between players. Even if there are some casualties, no one feels it very clearly, and they just think that those people are too lazy, so they die.
In short, as long as they can draw cards every day, there will be supplies, and there will be people who want any supplies, so their expectations for drawing cards are not particularly high.
But after the battle with the monster last night, everything changed.
Those who were not prepared in advance or had bad luck had already died last night, and the death toll was several times that of the previous few days.
Those who survived have all experienced the true horror of the end of the world to varying degrees.
They will be injured, injuries that the body cannot heal on its own. There is no health bar in the game to tell them when they will die. Only the constant pain and the gradual loss of vital signs remind them that they may die.
This process corrodes people's nerves like a chronic poison. Every minute and every second is torture, and they are afraid that they will become a death number on the world channel in the next second.
Those who were not injured or who were lucky enough to get medical supplies like Yu Miaomiao became very nervous, not knowing when it would be their turn next.
The daily card draw has become the only hope for the survivors. As long as they get medical supplies, they have a greater chance of survival.
Like everyone else, Yu Miaomiao held her breath and waited for the card draw to come.
【System prompt: Please draw your gift pack card】
As the system prompt sounded, four flashing cards appeared again in the field of vision ahead.
Four?
How could there be four cards? These past few days, whether it was her or others, they all drew three cards.
[If the lucky trait is successfully triggered by the card draw, the player can randomly draw two cards as a gift pack for the card draw settlement.]
Hearing the system sound, Yu Miaomiao gave a thumbs up to her lucky trait.
As usual, Yu Miaomiao turned over the first card on the right to see what type of card it was.
As soon as she touched the card, the card with the patterned logo instantly became highlighted, as if it had been selected.
Oh, no, she hasn’t chosen yet.
Yu Miaomiao thought, could it be that she clicked too fast and double-clicked to select it?
She moved her eyes to the card on the far left and carefully swiped through it.
This time she made sure that her fingers only moved slightly in one direction in the air, and then she withdrew her hand.
Like the previous card, the current card is immediately highlighted, and the card drawing interface disappears after two seconds.
So... does this mean she's done smoking?
Yu Miaomiao opened the notification icon expectantly.
[System Notification: Blind Box Card Reward Settlement Begins]
[Successfully trigger the Lucky trait, obtain Mineral Water*8, Energy Drink*2, Wood*18, Iron Ingot*9, Screws*20, Intermediate Nutrient Solution Fragment*2, Shredded Chicken Cold Noodles*2, Boxed Bayberry*2, Wheat Seeds*2, Condensing Stand Fan Crafting Drawing*2]
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait, obtained Mineral Water*3, Wood*6, Copper Ore*4, Screws*10, Primary Nutrient Solution Fragment*1, Bottled Barbecue Sauce*1, Kettle Crafting Drawing*1]
Yu Miaomiao was very pleased to have so many items stuffed into his backpack out of nowhere. Without much hesitation, he learned all the drawings.
[System prompt: Player Miaomiao is not short of water and has unlocked the crafting of a condensing vertical fan. Wisdom value increased by 1.]
[System prompt: Player Meow Meow is not short of water and has unlocked the kettle crafting.]
Yu Miaomiao took a look at the workbench and saw that under the technology column, there was a new production of condensing vertical fans, so as long as she learned a new technology process drawing, she could gain a little wisdom.
The items in this blind box draw, together with the supplies drawn in the previous few days, can just make up an intermediate nutrient solution and a primary nutrient solution.
No, why doesn't she have any medical supplies?
Without medical supplies, what would she do at night?
If she got hurt again tonight, would she end up waiting for death like everyone else?
Thinking of this, Yu Miaomiao became a little worried.
"Is Pipi here? Sister Miaomiao, I'm alive! I'm here!!"
Through the dialog box, Yu Miaomiao could feel the energy on the other side, and her uneasy mood was improved a little by him.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Is it restored by full strength?"
"Is Pipi here? Not exactly. After my stamina was full, my leg still looked broken and I couldn't move it. I waited for half an hour and tried to move it myself, but it was loose. I simply bent it a few times and it actually reattached itself. Although the process was painful, after resting for a while, I was able to move it again."
Setting his own bones? This guy is really cruel to himself. But think about it, when there is no one around, who else can he rely on except himself?
Thinking about the situation she might encounter at night, Yu Miaomiao still asked.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Did you get any bandages or other medical supplies?"
"Is Pipi here? I found a bandage. Are you injured?"
Only one? If she were to exchange them as a precaution, the other party probably wouldn't agree.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I'm not injured now, I'm just worried I'll get injured at night."
"Is Pipi here? I'm sorry, Sister Miaomiao, I'm also worried that I might get hurt at night, so I can't exchange it with you now... But if you get hurt at night and come to me, and I haven't used it yet, I will definitely give it to you first."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Well, I hope not. The main reason is that last night left such a deep impression on me. If it happens again, I will definitely get hurt again."
"Is Pipi here? Huh? You were injured last night too. Are you okay now?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I got a medical supply yesterday and cured it, but I didn't get it today."
"Is Pipi here? Hey, yeah, you said such a terrifying beast, how can it be called a beast? I think it should be a monster. This apocalypse game is so awful, it's simply a death game."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: If dozens of monsters come every night, I'm afraid I'll be finished sooner or later. Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I'll make some arrows first, and you can continue to help me take on the work orders."
"Is Pipi here? Dozens? So many? No way? Did you kill them all?"
