What if I'm a Bad Artist? I Lie Down and Win with a Divine Brush

After six years in the apocalypse, Xi Xi tragically died at the hands of her aunt's family. Unexpectedly, she was reborn on the day the apocalypse began. Just as she was preparing to leverage h...

Chapter 219 Remote Exploration

Well, okay... artists do like to use some weird stage names.

Xi Xi pinched the bridge of her nose, paused for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you show her this photo?"

Xi Xi sent the magazine photos to Liu Enxi via private message. After a brief hesitation, she sent another photo from "Tide Star" to Liu Enxi.

Xi Xi : "GH, this is the starry sky you painted. Do you remember it? I really like the composition of this work. I'd like to know what the meaning of this painting is. Can you tell me?"

She asked tentatively and cautiously. For the first time, Xi Xi felt that she had the potential to become a nurse.

TV dramas often say that when dealing with amnesiac patients, in addition to providing them with a familiar, quiet, and comfortable environment and reducing interference from external factors, the most important thing is to recreate the scene—allowing the patient to unconsciously recall the past.

Xi Xi felt that this painting was a good start.

As expected, the albino woman's expression changed upon seeing the painting, as if she had realized something, and her already disheveled face turned even paler.

"...She's acting a bit strange lately, there's this feeling that she's mentally unstable..." Liu Enxi relayed to Xi Xi with a slight hesitation, "She seems to be muttering something... Let me listen."

"'Flooded' 'About to drown'"

"...That's strange, there's no water in this tunnel either."

Xi Xi's heart skipped a beat. Water? Could it be related to the sewers?

She stood up and paced back and forth in the carriage. Logically speaking, the tunnel survival game should be related to the tunnel itself, so even if the player does not reach the mountain city transfer station, they can still pass the game smoothly.

However, the use of transit station elements to connect different levels inevitably deviates from the tunnel theme.

Xi Xi immediately realized she was overthinking things. The phrases "drowned" and "about to drown" were of no real value in terms of the plot development of the rare book.

Therefore, Xi Xi did not continue the topic. She recalled the process of finding the desert rare book and decided to let Liu Enxi focus on on-site investigation first to see if there were any unusual phenomena in the surrounding area.

Liu Enxi hesitated for a while before finally explaining why she hadn't continued exploring, only after Xi Xi pressed her for an answer.

Most of the resources were on the vehicle, which was then stored in the vehicle talisman. The cave was narrow and low, making it impossible to release the vehicle, and the lighting equipment they had was already exhausted.

Xi Xi frowned and asked with some suspicion, "No lighting? How did you see the NPC's face?"

"It's not too dark here; I can barely see my surroundings! I don't know what's emitting the light, but it's a natural light, and it seems to be coming from the place where the sound of an ancient zither is coming from deep inside the cave?"

Liu Enxi immediately explained, and then sent several photos to Xi Xi.

This is a very dry cave, quite different from the water-filled caves that Xi Xi had in mind.

The entrance to the cave is narrow, allowing only one person to pass sideways. The dim environment is filled with sand and dust, and stepping inside feels like stepping into a stuffy place with a faint earthy smell and an unknown mineral scent.

The light came from the depths, gradually dimming until it almost disappeared completely, leaving only a dark expanse.

Xi Xi could vaguely see a girl lying in the corner, wearing a women's coat and with her head resting on a handbag.

Liu Enxi was indeed very attentive to her younger sister, giving her almost every available resource around her.

But this proved the saying "worrying leads to chaos," causing Liu Enxi to act completely disorganized. Trading the Earth Spirit Guardian Shield for Algae Rose Roasted Milk was a superficial solution, a complete waste of her talents.

Xi Xi silently weighed the options in her mind, zooming in on the photo's details with two fingers. The cave walls were rough and uneven, the exposed rocks displaying strange textures, seemingly chaotic yet governed by some special pattern…

Xi Xi stared at those photos for a long time. In such a dimly lit environment, the Liu sisters had managed to survive for several days without encountering any major crisis; they were truly lucky to have survived...

She sighed, then gave Liu Enxi a pot of blue mushroom soup and solemnly instructed her that if she wanted to get her sister out of here safely, she must obey her orders from now on and not act rashly.

Xi Xi "Why don't you check out the road conditions first?"

Xi Xi could sense from the voice on the other end that Liu Enxi was still somewhat frightened, but thankfully she eventually agreed, so Xi Xi didn't say anything more and hoped that she would have good luck...

"Don't you think the sea level has risen quite a bit?" Chu Zhiqin was preparing her night fishing gear. She kept glancing out the window, and suddenly, as if she had noticed something, she straightened up.

After turning off the light screen, Xi Xi looked at her mother upon hearing the sound and gazed out the window.

“I finally know what’s wrong with this bridge! No cross-sea bridge in the original world is this close to the sea!” Chu Zhiqin put down her fishing rod, pointed out the window and said to Xi Xi.

"Look, this bridge is poorly designed. It's too close to the sea level. If there's even a slight wind or wave, it'll flood!"

"Submerged..." Xi Xi looked thoughtfully at the sea, a ripple of emotion stirring within her.
