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 248: Survival at Sea Day 9 (8) Today is safe for the time being...
Yu Miaomiao vaguely felt that there might be some transaction elements between Yang Haotian and other servers on Lin Ruoxue, otherwise he would not allow Lin Ruoxue to keep in contact with outsiders like this and still be safe and sound.
While she was working on the craft, she replied to Ruoxue's message for the first time.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: The hurt is a fait accompli. I will not accept any verbal apology from you. Now that you are asking me for something valuable, you should at least provide information of equal value as a sign of sincerity. Otherwise, I will not reply to any messages and waste my time. Besides, I don't think you can know anything very important."
Lin Ruoxue should be very anxious now, so Yu Miaomiao will see if she can trick him into revealing anything.
"Is Ruoxue here? I really know! Haven't you ever thought about this? Yang Haotian is such a treacherous man. How could he have kept me here even after I've disobeyed his orders so many times?"
Disobey orders?
Yu Miaomiao didn't know about Lin Ruoxue's dirty deeds.
In fact, after Api disappeared, Lulu hardly contacted her former classmates, let alone Yu Miaomiao.
She only occasionally heard about the situation of that group of classmates when chatting with Yueyue. It was said that Yang Haotian had just met a new woman and had ignored Lin Ruoxue. As for what happened, she didn't ask too much.
The other party was still testing Yu Miaomiao's attitude, but Yu Miaomiao simply closed the dialog box.
Since Lin Ruoxue has discovered Yang Haotian's insidiousness and is still alive and well despite "disobeying orders", the secret can only be Lin Ruoxue.
What does Lin Ruoxue have?
The limited information is that Lin Ruoxue is pregnant with Yang Haotian's child.
Could this human secret be related to children? Or perhaps to the conception of life?
"Meow meow, are you still busy?" There was a knock on the door. It was Hua Bie.
"Ouch."
Xiaoguai, who was lying on the cat mat, immediately issued a warning sound, but it was just a sound. The cat did not even stand up and just lay there lazily.
Xiaoguai has always been very alert. Now that everyone is at the door, Xiaoguai made an unhappy sound, which was obviously just a verbal warning.
Yu Miaomiao felt that Xiaoguai had accepted this step quickly, and she couldn't let him have any resistance, so she didn't open the door. She twisted her hands, which had been stiff from maintaining the same position on the workbench, stretched lazily, and leaned against the iron door with a hint of fatigue, and asked, "What's wrong? I'm doing OEM work."
The metal door of the cabin was invisible to the naked eye, but the two of them were separated by an iron door. Hearing such a lazy tone, Hua Bie felt his face getting hot. He tried to remain calm and replied, "Oh, I have collected some more information. I got it from the foreign server through trading. I thought it would be better to tell you in person."
Yu Miaomiao immediately asked, "Is it about the system?"
Hua Bie nodded at the air. "I guess so. To be more precise, it's a systematic experiment being conducted by the people in District 9. I suspect that the killer in our district, 'Who Am I', is also providing experimental materials for the people in District 9."
It sounded very complicated. Yu Miaomiao was about to open the door and talk to him face to face when she heard a threatening whimper behind her. She had no choice but to withdraw her hand and start a careful conversation with the person outside the door through an iron wall.
Xiaoguai looked up, confirmed that the door was not open, closed his eyes, suppressed his nervousness, and continued to sleep soundly.
Hua Bie has been receiving new information one after another these days. Some of it was obtained through unique combat skills, and some was obtained through supplies. He just made a summary and came over.
Twenty minutes later, Yu Miaomiao saw Hua Bie off, feeling a little depressed.
In District 9, the dominant figure, Shi Yancheng, started a black market.
As long as you can introduce anyone who is in the top 10 of the personal panel numerical ranking list on any server or a child under the age of 14 to him and successfully send them to District 9, you will receive a large amount of material rewards.
At the same time, there was a purge plan that she had heard of before. As long as there were organizations or individuals who wanted to deal with those who resisted the doomsday system, he would provide material support. Of course, there was a very strict standard for determining whether to pay the materials.
These actions are somewhat consistent with the hidden information that Iris had learned before, but the people are different.
The hidden information said that there was a mastermind hiding in the beta server, who wanted to prevent the survivors from obtaining all the cards that could take them home. The "Shiyan City" was in District 9, and what it did coincided with the actions of the mastermind.
Is the hidden information wrong? Is that person actually in District 9?
Or is it just that some people's ideas just happen to coincide with those of the bad guys in the system?
Yu Miaomiao looked at Lin Ruoxue's new message.
"Is Ruoxue there? You didn't reply to me, hahahaha. You don't want to know, do you? You think you can run rampant in the apocalypse just because you have so many supplies and a beast? People like you who are so self-righteous will eventually become experimental subjects, just like my child. Hahahaha, destroy it."
Yu Miaomiao was already furious halfway through reading it. Is this how you ask for help? Or is he just giving up?
Experimental subject, child, she felt something flash through her mind. As soon as she asked "Experimental subject?", she received a message that the other party was offline.
Dead.
Lin Ruoxue died just after sending this message.
Who killed her, Yang Haotian?
Why kill her? Because of this news?
If it is because of this information, then it means that the content in this article is correct and extremely critical.
Experimental subjects, survivors on the list, children.
The people in District 9 originally wanted everyone to stay here to realize his plan to dominate the server. If what Hua Bie learned matches what Lin Ruoxue said before her death, does it mean that "Shiyan City" is conducting experiments on these two groups of people?
In order to benefit his plan or himself, apart from being able to cater to the mastermind behind the system, is there any way for him to add other people's panel attributes to himself?
The people on the list give him a value, but what do the children give him?
A bigger mystery emerged. It seemed that she had been fighting alone before and was too isolated from the news. These villains worked together to do a lot of bad things.
She only moved up two, or rather one, spots in the team rankings because another team was ahead of her.
Yu Miaomiao looked at the 15 special plants in the planting box. Her glass planting room had been expanded by twice. She had covered one of the rooms with a black curtain. The special plants planted in it were the ones that could improve the ranking of the special plant collection.
She would ask a few of her companions to collect all the plants before the list was settled, so that Lulu, Yingying and Huabie could all be in the top 50 of plant collection, and her team could score more than 100 points higher.
This is the only list with variables. If she does this, people on other servers may do the same.
At 11 o'clock sharp, she finally received the information she wanted.
"Yijian Kaitianmen: Sorry, comrade, I'm replying so late. I hope I didn't delay you. I didn't expect that the matter you asked me to investigate would lead to other matters, which is why I've been investigating for so long. Although I haven't gathered all the information yet, I have a general idea. I'll update you on these later. First, let me tell you about that child, Yang Fuen. We've found out that he is indeed in Area 9 and is still alive, but we estimate that he will be eliminated as an experimental subject after the twentieth day of survival at sea."
Another experimental subject. I have never heard of this word before, but it appears repeatedly today.
What's special about today and the 20th day of Survival at Sea, except... the list settlement.
Could it be that this experiment is related to the list?
"One Sword Opens the Heaven's Gate: Since you provided me with these clues, I might as well tell you everything. In District 9, a man named 'Shi Yancheng' is conducting an experiment that allows him to extract a survivor's panel stats. We're not completely sure about the extraction process and experimental results, but through analyzing his historical rankings, it should be possible to replace his own personal stats with the extracted panel stats. In short, he's stealing other people's panel stats."
So this is why he dares to dominate the server, because he can steal other people's high panel values, and even without relying on his own efforts, he can easily get what the survivors have worked hard to improve.
So he didn't want to leave, because he had this method to instantly improve his abilities. If he went back, he would lose everything.
This is also why Hua Bie was hired to kill someone, because Hua Bie's personal stats were the highest in the beta test server, so "Shi Yancheng" teamed up with Yang Haotian to kill him, or kidnap him.
Such a powerful experimental ability happened to fall into the hands of a perverted villain. What was the system's intention and what did it give to Shi Yancheng?
"Miaomiao is not short of water: 'Shiyan City' captured the children, isn't it just to obtain the age of the children's personal panel data?"
"One Sword Opens Heaven's Gate: Well, it seems you also received some information before analyzing this. I think you should have discovered that in the end times, no one's abilities can grow on their own. Each statistic can only be improved by the materials provided by the system. But children are different. For each child we protect, her various stats will increase over time."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Do the children who come here grow one year older every day? Or does the growth stop after a while? Otherwise, why did he capture so many children? Logically, if he wanted to cruelly deprive a statistic, he only needed to kidnap one. Is there some hidden reason for the children's statistic growth, or does he want to keep getting younger and younger?"
"Miaomiao is not short of water: No, it should be that the process of extracting personal panel values is random. He has never extracted the age value, right?"
"One Sword Opens the Heavens: Yes, that's our guess. As for why it was the twentieth day of survival at sea, those of us monitoring the leaderboards noticed that his various stats usually increase very steadily, correlated with related events. Only on the day after the leaderboard was settled did one stat suddenly undergo a drastic change. So I guess this experiment is either linked to the leaderboard, or it's done every ten days."
But the settlement hasn’t been made today yet.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Will Yang Fuen be in danger today?"
"One Sword Opens the Heavens: Probably not, because a child with high stats just disappeared from District 9 today, so the one you're talking about is probably safe for now."
Today is safe for now.
Yu Miaomiao glanced at the watch on her hand that Zhuangzhuang had traded for her to use for checking information. The desktop wallpaper on the watch was a photo of Zhuangzhuang's sister hugging a child. She thought about it and told Zhuangzhuang's sister all the information she had heard.
Not long after she finished speaking, she received a new message from the beautiful girl warrior.
"Beautiful Girl Warrior: Meow Meow, can I bring you into the team?"
Yu Miaomiao glanced at the time. It was 11:34. Her ranking had dropped another place. She really needed the help of a beautiful young warrior, but...
"Meow Meow: Why don't you consider mediating with Yang Haotian again? What if he has some kind of deal with District 9 that could save your child? If you join my team, there might be no turning back."
"Beautiful Girl Warrior: You said the villains in District 9 want to kidnap everyone with high server profile stats, right? Then I'll be their kidnapping target. Men are never reliable. I'm going to save Fuen on my own."
After receiving this message, Yu Miaomiao added Sister Zhuangzhuang as a friend and waited for the last five minutes to replace the team members. She thought about it and sent a message back to the other party.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Sister Zhuangzhuang, if you have made up your mind to go, I will also find a way to help you, whether it is to help you save the child or to kill that person or experiment."
