Chapter 252: The Tenth Day of Survival at Sea (3) Don’t take the credit from me…

Yu Miaomiao had just opened the chat interface and wanted to ask how Hua Bie was doing when she saw the good news sent by another person.

"My Lie in April: Captain Meow, I killed Wang Bingliang and recruited some people who hadn't done anything wrong. One of my companions was a skilled interrogator, but even after Wang Bingliang's death, he still couldn't get any information about who I was. All we know is that the killer had help from someone outside the server. I just did a search, and his name has disappeared. I don't know if he changed his name or went to another server. Be careful."

Yu Miaomiao didn't rush to reply him. If April's Lies couldn't tell her, maybe someone else would know. But she hadn't decided whether to continue contacting Ziren, so she sent a message to Hua Bie first.

"Meow Meow: How are you? Is your hand okay? Did you use the advanced medical kit? The anti-itch cream you just gave me is somewhat effective against the poisonous rain. You can use more next time."

"Hua Bie: I'm fine, just minor injuries. Lulu can do it, but she's not up yet. If you think it's useful, I'll go buy some more. Today's rainstorm is even worse than the last few days. Wrap yourself in layers when you go out to pick up things. It's hard to kill monsters or feed cats with your injured hands."

Hmm? Yu Miaomiao looked at this sentence, paused for a moment, and replied with a single word, "Okay."

She had previously discussed with her companions at the base about expanding the number of companions, and they all agreed, so she directly invited April's Lie.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: It's a good thing that a hidden danger has been resolved. I see you're not far away from me, would you consider joining us?"

Yu Miaomiao has been hearing a lot about April's Lies recently. Many people say that he is a man of justice and has helped solve many troubles and the remnants of Wang Bingliang's forces along the way. She has added him as a friend and has seen him doing good things, almost to her side.

This shows that Wang Bingliang had actually been secretly sending people to wait near her, but they were all resolved one by one by April's lies.

"Your Lie in April: Mochi..."

When Yu Miaomiao saw these two words, she immediately sent a transaction request and placed the milk pudding mochi on the transaction column. She thought that the other party might need some time to consider.

But just after the transaction was completed, I received new news about April's Lie.

"You know what? I've been wanting to have this bite for so long now, and now that I finally have it, I can't bear to eat it."

"My Lie in April: Thank you for the invitation. I have quite a few companions around me, currently 421, with more on the way. If I were to join you, it would probably be difficult. We need to discuss this carefully."

So many people?

Yu Miaomiao knew that he had recruited quite a few people, but he didn't expect that there were so many people near his base.

If there were only a few dozen of them, it would be fine. But with so many people, she really needs to seek the opinions of her companions.

After pulling up the black curtain to block out the scorching sun, she posted this information in the group chat.

Everyone in the group expressed their own ideas. Some said that in order to prevent the system from punishing people for having too many people, it would be better to continue with the current model and live in a divided way. Some said that it was indeed a bit scary to have so many people coming at once, and it would be better to come in batches. Others felt that it didn't matter, and the more people there were, the more lively and safer it would be.

Everyone was discussing heatedly, but Yu Miaomiao didn't see Hua Bie's opinions. She thought Hua Bie was probably still healing his wounds. He had previously clearly expressed his support for the idea of ​​establishing his own power, so he shouldn't have any objections. So she sorted out everyone's ideas and sent a message to discuss with April's Lies.

As she was bandaging the wound, she heard the sound of shelling again from under the ship and above her head.

Looking through the crack in the window, the entire sky was pitch black, and the torrential rain covered the sky and the earth. The originally calm sea surface was gradually churning. She could see that it was the octopus, unique to rainy days, that was stirring up the tranquility of the sea.

It turns out that the mantis shrimp was just an appetizer, and the giant octopus is now the highlight.

Before she could go out, a black figure climbed out of the sea. With a loud bang, an octopus almost as big as her cabin was thrown onto the float by Huabie.

"Hua Bie: Why does Xiaoguai like to eat octopus claws?"

Yu Miaomiao: ...

Since when did Hua Bie start to like Xiaoguai so much?

She glanced at Xiaoguai who was still lying on the mat and didn't want to get up. It was obvious that she didn't like it, but Octopus.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: I probably don't like it, but can I take a look at this octopus?"

Hua Bie, who was standing opposite, looked up at the sky with a look of reluctance, but still nodded to Yu Miaomiao. He sent her a message saying, "Come on."

When Yu Miaomiao was just in the house, she and Nana studied a new type of glove. To be precise, it was a tubular cover made of plastic and nylon cloth. It could only protect the hands but had no practical use.

Walking onto the float and looking at the dying octopus lying on the ground, she felt that it looked familiar. This octopus looked very similar to the one in Devil's Bend. Could it be that it also had some information on its body?

Staring into the octopus's eyes, no clues appeared.

She used a long stick to turn its body over.

"Puff." The black ink sprayed towards her face.

"Be careful!" Hua Bie no longer cared about the little kid who was not very friendly to him on Yu Miaomiao's boat, and jumped towards the opposite deck in two steps.

He didn't know if the ink was harmful, but he didn't want the girl across from him to be in danger.

Yu Miaomiao seemed to have heard the reminder, but the vision of the oxygen mask, which should have been blurred, became clearer. Sure enough, a line of text appeared on it, "Turn on this reminder in incognito mode."

Then, I saw an input box with the prompt "Please enter the number of vines on the card when drawing the card in the end of the sea survival game."

Iris said she had been looking for new clues for a long time but couldn't find any. It turned out that the clues were hidden here.

Yu Miaomiao does not have an incognito mode, so it is not suitable to open it now, but Iris can.

She told Iris yesterday about the "don't believe" things she saw in the Crystal Palace exploration area.

Iris thought about it for a while and decided to rush over last night to discuss all the information with Yu Miaomiao face to face.

Iris would reach her tonight at the latest, and the sea monster that came ashore would soon die, but as long as there were new clues and they waited for the next poisonous rain to fall, they would be able to see it.

Yu Miaomiao was a little excited to have a new clue. Just when she had just sent a secret message to Iris, a pair of cold big hands pressed on her shoulders, and her whole body began to shake with the hands.

"How are you? Do you want a high-grade medical kit?"

Yu Miaomiao came back to her senses when Hua Bie's voice rang in her ears.

It was so weird. Just now... she felt as if her entire consciousness had entered another place, and she had no perception of what was happening around her.

Iris also mentioned this feeling, it was as if the hidden person had specially created an isolation zone. This feeling was different from the independent space for drawing cards. People were not pulled away, but only their consciousness was temporarily withdrawn.

In fact, from this point of view, it can also support Dr. Ji's speculation that these survivors who came to the end of the world may have just had their consciousness pulled here.

Yu Miaomiao raised her eyes and met the eyes of the half-bent man, and quickly replied "I'm fine" and signaled to him with her eyes that she had something to say.

“Ahhhhhhhhh——”

Xiaoguai's anxious voice sounded behind him, and Yu Miaomiao quickly pushed him away and said, "Go to the other side quickly, Xiaoguai is angry."

She could feel Xiaoguai's anger, probably because he felt that Huabie had invaded his territory. There was a moment of hurt in his amber eyes. Before she could realize it, she turned around and hugged Xiaoguai, who rushed into the heavy rain and felt like he was covered with thorns.

"Meow, meow, meow—"

Yu Miaomiao took back the bucket on her hand, reached out to soothe Xiaoguai's head, turned her head and just said, "Hua Bie, let me comfort Xiaoguai first, and talk to you later", a wet head bumped into her hand, signaling her to go back quickly.

Being pulled by Xiaoguai, the man and the cat returned to the house without even having time to dismember the octopus on the ground.

She first wiped the wet cat clean with a towel, and then wiped the water stains on her skin. In just a dozen seconds, her hands were swollen again by the poisonous rain, like a piece of spoiled food, purple and red.

Thinking that Hua Bie had just been in the rain for a long time, she sent greetings to the other party with some concern.

"Meow Meow: Are you okay? Xiaoguai is quite territorial, and I was afraid he might hurt you. I didn't mean to push you. Sorry."

She was in a hurry and used too much force in her hands. Only after she pushed the strong chest to the float between the two boats did she feel relieved. After all, she didn't know what would happen if Xiaoguai really got anxious.

"Hanabetsu: It's alright. Do you still want to study this octopus? If not, I'll disassemble it first."

"Meow Meow: Well, no need for now. I'll talk to you in person about the octopus later."

"Hanabie: Okay."

Hua Bie returned to the house, carefully wiped the rain off his hands, and bandaged his thigh which had just been injured underwater. He still couldn't help but type a line of words on the screen: "Is it because Xiaoguai doesn't like me that you are doing this?"

"Brother Huabie, why are you injured again? It seems like you've been getting injured frequently lately."

Yingying, who had just woken up, pushed the door open and walked in. This was a public work area, so she didn't knock. What she saw was Hua Bie with blood still flowing from his leg and one hand stuck in the air.

After hearing what Yingying said, Huabie immediately deleted the line of words, bandaged the wound, and went to the cross-server forum to look for waterproof gloves. He replied perfunctorily, "It's okay."

Yingying was not surprised by his attitude. Instead, she hummed a little tune and walked to the fireplace indoors, turned on the dryer, and began to roast today's portion of shrimp.

"If you bake this, will the cat be willing to accept you?" Hua Bie thought about it and asked the question in his heart.

Yingying was still counting the last two portions of shrimp meat left in her backpack and wondering whether she should go out into the world to buy some more when she heard Hua Bie's question.

What? Brother Huabie also wants to pet a cat? She must have heard it right.

"What?" Yingying asked uncertainly, "Brother Huabie, do you want to go feed the cats with me too?"

Hua Bie coughed and asked, "The grilled shrimp you placed in the insulated box on Meow Meow's boat is still there. I don't think you two can take care of it. If it's inconvenient for you, I can do it for you."

He seldom cooks, and most of the food he eats is bought from around the world. He has also tried barbecue, but except for the automatic cooking pot, the food he grills himself always gets burnt, and the cooking pot is too slow to produce.

Yingying frowned and replied, "I baked that to get closer to Xiaoguai. Brother Huabie, don't take the credit from me. If you want to pet the cat, bake it yourself."

After saying that, Yingying rushed out of the door and headed straight for the incubator, as if she was afraid that the meat on the other side would be snatched away.

Hua Bie glanced at the few pieces of fresh shrimp he took out of his backpack, and looked at the open door. He didn't even have the time to ask, "Can you teach me how to grill meat?"
