Chapter 64: Desert Survival Day 9 (7) Suddenly an idea came to my mind...

Is the big winner in life crazy? Is this the tone of begging?

He wouldn't think that others would really let him in just by saying these things in such a childish and ridiculous tone. Where does his confidence come from?

No, what this person meant was that he not only wanted to come in, but also wanted to directly obtain ownership, that is, he wanted the current explorers to leave.

It turns out that some people, after becoming a crappy vice president, really think they are something big and that others will listen to them?

Yu Miaomiao clicked "Reject", complained in her heart, put her heart into it, and cautiously embarked on the path she had chosen.

She broke off a few branches from the intersection, arranged them into special shapes, and placed them in the open space in front of the fork in the road and at the intersection where she entered, so as to avoid walking back to the same place without realizing it.

This gravel road is not wide, and can only accommodate three people walking side by side. The trees on both sides are very luxuriant, twisting left and right, and countless branches are intertwined to form a thick wall of trees.

Yu Miaomiao picked some fruit from a tree and put it in her backpack, but failed.

The red fruits looked like dates, but she couldn't put them in her backpack and didn't know if they were edible. After thinking about it, she picked a few and put them in her pocket, stuffing them together with the small yellow cactus flowers she had picked earlier.

After walking just two meters, the trees on both sides turned the road to the left. She was holding a few branches in her hands, which she placed halfway on the road as an identification mark.

She had an idea and tried to see if the branches could be put into her backpack, and it actually worked.

The item is displayed as an Elaeagnus angustifolia branch.

Unexpectedly, the dates could not be taken away, but the branches could be taken away. There were date trees everywhere in front of her, so she could collect a large amount of supplies.

She remembered the error the system had pointed out before and knew that she couldn't pull out the whole tree. Although she couldn't pull it out either, if she wanted to take away the branches, she didn't have the right tools to cut down the tree, so she could only use a stone axe instead.

As soon as she raised the axe, she thought of a question: would chopping down the tree make a lot of noise?

There is a hand saw in the toolbox that looks like it could be used for this experiment.

Holding the umbrella between his neck, he grabbed a thicker branch and started sawing.

After sawing, I put it in my backpack. Failure.

What the hell, why did it fail? Wouldn’t a branch be fine?

Could it be that the one she sawed was too big and the system thought she had violated the rules?

But if there is a violation, there should be a warning.

Yu Miaomiao broke off another thinner one, but found that it still didn't work.

Is there any particular requirement for putting branches into a backpack?

She took out the saxaul branches from her backpack and looked at them carefully, only then did she discover the reason.

This branch has small bright yellow flowers, but not the others.

Looking around, the densely packed saxaul trees were filled with nothing but red dates, with no trace of yellow.

It seemed like she was overthinking it. How could the system give away so many supplies for free?

Continuing forward, she saw many other plants on the roadside, including a kind of licorice she had never seen before. It seemed to be an ingredient used in a recipe, so she put it in her backpack.

Yu Miaomiao walked very slowly, taking care of the treasure chests and plants along the way while being wary of monsters that might appear at any time.

After walking for half an hour, the monsters with red health bars did appear - two olive-brown birds stood on the branches, and their bodies were as big as adult geese.

Yu Miaomiao held the umbrella tightly in her hand, feeling a little nervous, hoping that using the umbrella to block the sunlight would continue to be useful.

As you get closer, you can see the two birds pecking each other and combing each other's fluffy hair, looking harmless.

They were standing at a relatively high position, and their two round eyes were constantly moving, observing their surroundings.

When Yu Miaomiao walked near the tree, the two birds became obviously alert, staring at her umbrella with their heads tilted and their eyes becoming a little confused.

Both birds have a long, thin crest that is blue and red. Their legs are very strong, and their claws are very sharp when they grab the branches. Their tails are light blue, convex, and curled upwards. Judging from all their appearance, they are not scavengers.

The carrion bird is described in other ways. It looks very much like a crow, except that it has a row of sharp teeth in its beak, which can easily tear anything into pieces. Moreover, it is not affected by any obstructions and can accurately find survivors.

Yu Miaomiao moved slowly along the tree wall opposite the two birds, trying not to make any noise.

The umbrella was a bit too big and the road was getting narrower and narrower, so she had to tighten the umbrella a little bit. Her feet were already in the water.

While moving, Yu Miaomiao prayed to quickly reach the oasis area, which was much more open.

The water on the ground seemed to have overflowed from behind the wall of trees. Yu Miaomiao tried to push aside the leaves to see what was happening outside, but all she saw were rows of closely packed jujube trees, and she couldn't make out anything at all.

There were a few small mushrooms growing in the cracks of the stones. She had now walked to the feet of the two birds. She didn't dare to stay any longer and could only bear the pain and not collect them. She just wanted to pass this road quickly.

After turning three U-shaped bends, Yu Miaomiao reached the end of the road. Looking back, she could still see that the two birds had given up grooming their feathers and were looking motionlessly in her direction.

She held the umbrella close to her head, afraid of being discovered by them, and looked forward with her body tilted.

In front of me was a small lake, stretching into the boundless distance.

There is a lonely island the size of a palm in the middle of the lake. On the island grows a towering jujube tree. Under the tree lies a conspicuous treasure chest. Judging from its bright red color, it should be an iron treasure chest.

There was a road under her feet that connected to the center of the lake. The gravel road surface just covered the water surface. At both ends of the road was relatively shallow lake water, and the algae on the bottom of the lake were clearly visible.

More than a hundred meters to the right is the real oasis. It seems that she has chosen the wrong branch road again.

The lake here is not deep. It should be just up to her knees when viewed with the naked eye. This area of ​​water leads to the edge of the oasis. Is it possible to wade across it?

Looking down into the water, ten meters away on both sides of the gravel road, there were dense groups of bighead carp - cunning catfish - swimming in the lake.

Hua Bie had told her about this fish. As its name suggests, it is very cunning.

The cunning catfish is a monster that lives in groups. When any foreign object, including humans, steps into the waters where they live, they will rush towards the foreign object, one after another, like a relay race, using their dumbbell-sized heads to hit the foreign object in the water and take a bite.

The force of each collision and bite was not strong, but no one could withstand the attack of such a large number of cunning catfish in the lake. If you stay in water full of cunning catfish for a few minutes, your legs will probably be bitten to pieces.

What's more, Yu Miaomiao saw someone mention this creature on the forum.

When the survivors were hit by the cunning catfish, they did not stand firmly, or the place where they stepped happened to be the cunning catfish. Their slippery bodies would make people step on air in an instant. At this time, more catfish would swarm in and bite people all over their bodies. One of the men was bitten and immediately used the return adventure card and fled in panic.

Therefore, it is not practical to wade back to the main road.

On the shore after the waters were connected, Yu Miaomiao could only vaguely see some trees swaying in the wind. As for what the monster was, it was as if his eyes were covered by a layer of fog and he could not see clearly.

My gaze returned to the jujube tree at the end of the branch road in front of me.

Huabie also missed this branch road, and he only briefly described it because his expedition ended early on this branch road.

It is said that he first smashed the treasure chest under the tree, and then stood on the top of the tree and killed a bird.

Why is he standing on the top of the tree? Because he said that when he walks to the bottom of the tree, he will find a treasure chest on the top of the tree.

When he opened the treasure chest on the treetop, the lake water suddenly rose for some reason, and all the cunning catfish that were still in the distant waters swam over. There happened to be a paraglider in the treasure chest, so he used it.

The direction of gliding seemed to be fixed, returning to the previous fork in the road. After walking towards the main road for a while, the lake water also spread to the main road. Many cunning catfish filled the road, so he had to teleport back.

At this time she received a new group chat message.

"Is Pipi here? Wow, the winner of life is so shameless. He can't enter your adventure area, and now he's checking one by one to see who is preventing him from entering."

Yu Miaomiao held an umbrella and confirmed that the two birds behind her had no new movements before replying to the message.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: How can he check? He has to search for each exploration location one by one according to the exploration location list. Now the exploration progress is already 2%. What if the person who prevents him from entering is at 1% progress?"

"Is Pipi here? He doesn't care about any of this anymore. He's already fallen off the leaderboard. He started private messaging everyone. Oh no, it was his little brother, a guy called 'Ahhh,' who started private messaging the survivors on the leaderboard, asking them to give up their spots."

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Give up your seat?"

"Is Pipi here? Yes, they're asking the survivors inside to come out. They're saying that if they don't come out and continue exploring to increase their progress, they'll be added to the Tiandihui's red list, which is the wanted list."

Does this big winner in life want to cover the sky with one hand?

Just because he can't make the list, does that mean everyone should withdraw?

In fact, withdrawing now will not have a big impact on her, because if all those on the list or about to be on the list withdraw, her ranking of 87 will not change.

"Miaomiao is not short of water: Will everyone listen to him? Will all the survivors on the list agree?"

"Chubby: He started chatting privately from the eleventh place. I see the progress of the survivors above is still changing, which means not many people are paying attention to him. But I guess the later the survivors are, the weaker their self-protection ability is, so more people will listen to him."

"Meow Meow is not short of water: I will just stay inside and not let him in. What can he do? How can he hunt me down?"

"Is Pipi here? Didn't I hear they were preparing to gather? On their way to the gathering, these Tiandihui members will carefully search the survivors along the way, confirm their identities, record their coordinates, and may even try to get them to join the Tiandihui. Those who refuse to listen or reveal their nicknames have been killed on the spot."

"Miaomiao is not short of water: This is really lawless. The fewer survivors there are, the less supplies you get from drawing cards every day. Can they really create things out of thin air? Stupid."

"Pangpang: The big winner in life has always had a bad brain. I heard that this plan was his idea. If the number of people decreases, not only will there be fewer supplies, but there will also be fewer people to do the outsourcing of various things. He never thought that one day he would be defeated by the monsters and only see the immediate selfish gains."

The 'Integrity-based' application pop-up window appeared again in his sight, and Yu Miaomiao suddenly came up with an idea.
