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 39: Desert Survival Day 7 (5) No matter how arrogant they are, they...
Just because of late outsourcing, I have to suffer such unfair cyber violence?
Yu Miaomiao didn't think that those who followed the trend to scold Lulu, and even extended it to herself, were innocent. Regardless of whether they were instructed by Yang Haotian or not, she just felt that they were in cahoots with each other, and that all the bad people had gathered together.
Their target was not only Lulu, but also the so-called "more important" person. Yu Miaomiao knew without asking the name of that person, that it was Miaomiao Buqueshui, that is, herself.
Why do they want this name?
Now that you know it’s her, what then?
Kill her?
Or will they shift the blame onto Yu Miaomiao and continue the online violence?
What happens after the cyberbullying? Make Yu Miaomiao apologize? Make Yu Miaomiao surrender? Or make Lulu submit?
Let everyone know that those who follow the Tiandihui will prosper and those who go against the Yanghui will perish?
And judging from the messages sent by everyone, there was no mention from the beginning to the end that Lulu was unwilling to help them, it was just that she was at most an hour late. Could it be that their President Yang would not live for more than an hour?
The more Yu Miaomiao thought about it, the more she felt that these people were too arrogant and unreasonable. She had initially thought that it was a good thing that someone was willing to write a strategy post in the apocalypse, but in the end, people like Yang Haotian became the real local tyrants.
"Is Pipi here? Sister Miaomiao, we've received a large order for toilet paper. Are you available to take it now?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I have free time now. The whole world is scolding Lulu. Did you see it?"
This matter has nothing to do with Yu Miaomiao in essence. It was completely directed and acted by that group of idiots. However, she is involved in it, and these people are acting like they want to "eat her".
Yu Miaomiao wasn't worried that Lulu would reveal her nickname, because Lulu's private chat must have exploded long ago, and she didn't say anything to defend herself.
And whether they say it out loud or not, this group of people have gone crazy. As long as they catch one person, they will attack him together.
So if it's not her today, it will be someone else. As long as they don't surrender to the Tiandihui, they will all have the same fate.
There is no other organization or group in the world that can compete with them, and no one wants to cause trouble.
"Is Pipi here? I was just discussing this with Lulu, so I only have time to tell you about the order now. Lulu said to ignore these people and that this matter will be over in time. After all, she still controls the production of the only snake and insect repellent potion. When the time comes, these people who scold her will still ask her to do the work for them, and they can't do anything to her now."
Yu Miaomiao had been called selfish by many people before because of the chicken wings material replacement issue, and she was also attacked for taking on OEM orders with her classmate Pipi, but that was still a minority after all.
But today, the screen was almost entirely filled with curse words. Yu Miaomiao felt that if she were in his shoes, she might not have the good attitude to face all this.
But is it useful to say this to the world or forum?
Any words would be drowned out by the voices of the thousands of people in the group.
Is not responding the best option?
Yu Miaomiao remembered that the first way she used to attract the scolding was by releasing mucus. She did have other things in her hands that would make many people feel novel, but she felt that this method was useless now.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Is she okay? I hope she is not depressed."
"Is Pipi here? Lulu has the best attitude of anyone I know. 'Unperturbed by praise or criticism' is a phrase tailor-made for her. She's the most open-minded person among those who struggle."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: You really don't forget to make jokes from time to time. Those people were really rude, but I'm glad she's okay. But I remember there were a few people who could make bandages and one who could make basic medical kits. Why didn't those Tiandihui people go to them instead of looking for Lulu in such a hurry?"
"Is Pipi here? Two of them seem to have joined the Tiandihui. As for the remaining one, I know she can make bandages. I think her name is Iris. She initially took orders, but then disappeared. Sister Miaomiao, let's get down to business. Today, over 200 people want to make toilet paper for us, but they don't want a large quantity. They want to exchange basic supplies like a piece of wood or a screw for each roll. We're in dire need of these materials to upgrade our cabins, so we'd like to discuss a possible partnership. We're willing to provide the materials for making toilet paper, and you can also provide the materials you need as a processing fee."
More than 200? There are so many people?
Yu Miaomiao vaguely felt that perhaps toilet paper rolls were a breakthrough point.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I have extra toilet paper rolls on hand, you can trade some first. How about this, each person is limited to one, and they will be distributed according to the order of comments. As for whether to limit it to a week or a day, it will be decided by you based on the number of orders."
"Is Pipi here? Sister Miaomiao, why is this happening?"
"Miaomiao is not short of water: I don't think we need to wait until they need snake and insect repellent potion and beg Lulu for it. The toilet paper era is a good time. I remember the number of people in the Tiandihui was more than 10,000 if not 9,000. We are just a few people, and there is no way to argue. But how many people are there in this apocalypse?"
"Is Pipi here? Are you saying that other survivors of the apocalypse will speak up for us?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I'm not speaking for us, but using practical actions to tell the Tiandihui that no matter how arrogant they are, they are no better than a roll of paper."
It hasn't been long since then, and so many people have asked me to make toilet paper rolls. There will only be more, not fewer, people like this in the future.
We are all used to a clean and modern life. During these seven days of the apocalypse, although life is the most important thing and we try to get by day by day, it does not mean that we can accept living in such a dirty state.
The materials needed to make toilet paper are very few, and those who have survived to this day will have more basic supplies.
One roll can satisfy the survivors' clean life for many days. Who doesn't want it?
"Is Pipi here? Okay, I'll go count them now and tell everyone in the post."
Not long after, Yu Miaomiao received news from Pipi again.
"Is Pipi here? Sister Miaomiao, please read the post."
Seeing what Pipi said, Yu Miaomiao found their OEM post. She roughly calculated that in just half an hour, there were at least two thousand replies, some asking for prices and some seeking OEM.
"Is Pipi here? Sister Miaomiao, your method is still effective. Hey, to be honest, I was just pretending to be calm. I was so angry inside!"
"Is Pipi here? Ziren told me a long time ago that I should do some serious work and stop being busy helping people get orders. I didn't take it seriously at the time. Even though many people called me an unscrupulous purchasing agent, I didn't care. Someone has to do the work of contacting people. I figured as long as I could help people, especially classmates I had a good relationship with, how could it not be a serious job?"
That’s right, Yu Miaomiao also relies on Pipi to negotiate deals, saving her time to do other things.
Moreover, Yu Miaomiao had found it strange before. Pipi usually had big mood swings, so why did she act so calm just now? Before she could reply, Pipi sent her the second message.
"Is Pipi here? At the time, Lulu's brother was trolling Ziren and me. Some classmates I'd helped were siding with the bad guys and talking about us. I confronted them, and they said they were threatened and had no choice. I foolishly believed them."
"Is Pipi here? Later, my classmates would tell me about the Tiandihui from time to time, which made me mistakenly believe that they really had no choice. I even felt sorry for them. Ziren was unwilling to do their OEM work at the time, so they had no choice but to find me. I pretended that it was an urgent order from a passerby and gave it to him, asking Ziren to do it quickly. Later, Ziren found out about it and was mad at me for several hours. At the time, I thought he was petty and didn't want to pay any attention to him."
Hearing Pipi say this, Yu Miaomiao didn't know why she found it a little funny, but she had to laugh secretly. Otherwise, if Pipi knew, she would probably be even more sad.
"Is Pipi here? It wasn't until today that I finally realized they weren't coerced. They had clearly been colluding with those bad guys for a long time."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Your classmate doesn't seem to be doing well in that Tiandihui either. He was even insulted today, and the target of the attack today was Lulu. How did you suddenly come to your senses?"
"Is Pipi here? A bystander sees more clearly! When I went to study abroad, my mom told me I was too naive and that Ziren was mature, so she told me to listen to his opinions more. I got furious. Ziren wasn't mature at all; he was just pretending to be deep and stuffy. But what he said to me today made me think he made sense."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: What did he say today?"
"Whether Pipi is here or not: To know a person's character, look at how he behaves in times of adversity and lows."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Didn't your classmates say anything today? They simply ignored what those people said. So, their personalities are cold?"
Yu Miaomiao was probably really anxious after reading Pipi's messages one after another.
"Whether Pipi is here or not: They have long endured the insults of others and have to hang out with those who insult them every day. I can't think of anything else about their character except cowardice, bullying, and selfishness."
Yu Miaomiao could feel Pippi's sense of loss from her words.
Originally in the real world, Pippi must have gotten along well with her classmates, or Pippi may have always played the role of a good person because of her kindness. But it doesn't work here. In the end times, being a good person is the easiest way to be bullied.
After thinking for a long time, Yu Miaomiao couldn't think of any good words to comfort Pipi, who was obviously in a bad mood at the moment, because she didn't have these worries. She hardly interacted with other people at school and worked alone. She could only reply helplessly.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Don't think too much. Instead of worrying about those unimportant people, why not take advantage of your free time to dig more in the ground? What if you dig up more stone mines or something else nearby?"
From the very beginning, Yu Miaomiao watched Pipi digging the ground every day and wondered how a girl could be so strong, so she mistakenly thought she was a boy.
"Is Pipi here? Yeah, I dig for hours every day! Sister Miaomiao should have unlocked resource exploration. My classmates have all unlocked it, but I haven't. I don't know if there are any better resources nearby."
After three days of fighting with beasts at night, many people encountered glowing monsters. After killing them, they got resource exploration. Unexpectedly, Api had not unlocked it yet.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Not unlocking it is not necessarily a bad thing. Not everyone can successfully kill the glowing monsters they encounter, and when the glowing monsters and a group of beasts come, it is very likely that you will die without knowing how. As long as you can survive well, everything is the best arrangement."
"Is Pipi here? Yeah, thanks, Sister Miaomiao. I'm going to go mine now. Oh no, I'm going to negotiate a deal!"
