Chapter 261 Blind Box Daily Life
The man let out a miserable and terrified cry, but it was of no avail.
Soon, his body and arms gradually turned into trees and branches, and finally his head...
He turned into a tree, standing on the snow and unable to move his feet, but the terrifying thing was that he could still feel the outside world, and even make sounds and wave branches.
"Help...Help...Leng..." He stood in the deserted snow and uttered broken syllables that did not form a sentence, but soon, as time passed, he could not even utter such broken syllables.
All the words she wanted to say turned into strange sobs, which sounded like mournful cries to others...
Youxi
shook off the ice and snow on her Tang sword and suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of Bainiao Mountain. On the other side of the mountain, near Bainiao Lake, the sound she had heard before seemed to come.
"What happened?" Tang Yatong, who was standing by, stepped forward. "Are you injured?"
"No, I seemed to hear some noise." You Xi raised her chin slightly and pointed in a direction. "It seems to be the crying sound we heard on the platform."
"Crying?" You Zhenzhen came over. "The crying sound on the platform? Those people who turned into trees?"
Seeing You Xi nod, the three of them looked in the direction she pointed at the same time, and then held their breath and listened carefully. However, among the four of them, You Xi had the best hearing. The subtle movements she could hear did not mean that they could hear them as well.
But they knew that You Xi would not hear wrongly.
Lin Wu reminded them, "Everyone, be careful. No matter whether you go to dig boxes nearby or open boxes tomorrow, don't act alone. At least two people should go together. This station seems to have rich rewards, but it is full of traps."
Several people nodded. Because everyone had opened their boxes, they turned back to the ice and snow camping site not far away, crossed the half-meter-high ice wall, lifted the curtain of the transparent awning, and sat down on the camping chair. It
started snowing outside again. As evening approached, the temperature dropped to about minus 30 degrees. You Zhenzhen opened the shield of the electric baton and covered the entire ice foundation.
Without the invasion of cold air, the temperature in the shield quickly rose from minus 30 degrees.
You Zhenzhen was very skilled in using the shield. She planned to keep the temperature inside the shield between zero and minus five degrees, so that everyone would not feel cold when eating and sleeping at night, and their ice wall and ice foundation would not melt.
You Xi took back the used power bank from You Zhenzhen, and gave her a new one, asking her to continue charging. Then he asked everyone to take out their washbasins, and then filled a basin of warm water for everyone to wash their hands and faces.
They were going to have dinner while reporting to each other the results of the blind box they had just opened, and at the same time make a list of challenge items, recording all the monsters' weaknesses and clearance methods, so that everyone could take out the blind box challenges later.
You Zhenzhen saw You Xi take out a notebook and pen, and asked the doubts that suddenly arose in her heart: "New passengers should come in every day, and old passengers will leave. So passengers who miss the start of today's treasure hunt mode, don't they have to grab the box?"
In fact, You Xi has also considered this, but she feels that the site will maintain a certain degree of fairness: "I don't think that will be the case."
"Well, I don't think so either." Lin Wu said, "The previous reminder said: The quota for the treasure hunt mode (snow) triggered this time has been filled. Just like a lottery, if there is 'this time', there must be 'last time' and 'next time'. 'Snow' is written in brackets, which means that in addition to the snow treasure hunt, there should be other treasure hunt modes. It won't be every day, but it is very likely to be triggered by a major event."
"This way, different treasure hunting modes are triggered by events. This should be the main task line of this station." Youxi said this sentence with great decisiveness. She saw that the other three people were looking at her, so she smiled at them, "The precious treasure box opened a valid ticket for one station."
The others were some small rewards, such as an item slot, a fire axe, a box of water, a small box of antibiotics, etc.
In the ordinary treasure box, there are more types of drinking water, daily necessities, weapons and medicine
. It should be considered that this station is relatively short of supplies, and these are the things that ordinary passengers need most.
"I opened a ticket to upgrade a single sleeper!" You Zhenzhen couldn't hold back any longer and immediately reported the good news, "Although there is only one ticket, it was opened from an ordinary treasure box! This means that the chance of getting it later is very high!"
Lin Wu followed closely: "A precious treasure box opened a lightweight flamethrower, an improved model, which can be directly refueled with gasoline after the fuel is exhausted."
As he said, he took out the flamethrower and then used the "copy" skill he had obtained before, and instantly another identical flamethrower appeared.
You Zhenzhen exclaimed, and You Xi also praised it. After all, she only brought two bottles of [High Temperature Perfume]. At this moment, one bottle was given to You Zhenzhen for self-defense, and the other bottle had been used up by a quarter.
As for Lin Wu, the bottle of [High Temperature Perfume] he had before was almost gone, and he was still lacking a projectile attack weapon.
He put away one flamethrower himself, and asked You Xi to put away the other one first, so that whoever needed it could use it.
After the three of them finished talking, they all looked at Tang Yatong.
Tang Yatong was struggling with whether she could smoke in the shield, and seeing the burning eyes of her relatives and friends, she slowly said: "Two precious treasure boxes, one ticket to upgrade the team sleeper, and one Easter egg fragment."
"Wow~"
This time, the other three praised in unison.
Youxi took out the gasoline generator and the hot pot grill at the right time: "To celebrate the success of opening the blind box on the first day, let's have barbecue and hot pot tonight?"
You Zhenzhen clapped hard: "Mom is the best!"
Lin Wu: ...
Tang Yatong: ...
**
The sun has set.
For ordinary tourists in Bainiao Lake, this is a long and painful day. Some people survived the terrible and huge avalanche, but lost everything.
When the beloved family members were dug out, their bodies were stiff and motionless. The living hugged the dead, crying and wailing, wishing they could die together.
They didn't understand why the holiday, which was obviously so happy, came to an abrupt end?
They hated themselves. Why did they choose to ski in White Bird Lake? There were so many other attractions to choose from, why did they choose to come here? Why did they have to stay in the mountains when they saw the snow? Why couldn't they squeeze in with other tourists, even if they just stayed in a store for a few days?
Why didn't they have any sense of vigilance or disaster?
Why did so many people lose their own family members?
Why, why...
there are too many things that are hard to understand.
And they will never know that such earth-shattering pain may just be a program set by the game, and they may just be NPCs whose fate has been arranged long ago.
But how can people in the game know?
Just like Youxi and other travelers, they are beyond the indigenous people of the station. These devastating disasters that make the indigenous people despair are just part of their mission.
Maybe some people will sigh and pity these disasters, but they will never be able to empathize with them.
From the perspective of the passengers, they tried so hard to survive, fighting for tickets, and destroying their humanity for resources...
Who knows, outside this endless train world, whether there is a more transcendent existence watching them?
**
While the tourists were sighing in sorrow, the situation of some passengers was not so good.
Lu Yong held the gun in his hand, standing in front of his teammate who was shot in the shoulder, and looked vigilantly at the two men, one tall and one short, who were confronting him with guns in hand a few meters away.
They used to be his teammates, and before the avalanche this morning, they were still members of the same team. This avalanche came too suddenly and was extremely terrifying. When they got the news, they desperately ran up from the fifth floor of their accommodation.
However, there were too many tourists in the stairwell, which slowed down their pace. The two men in the team were always decisive and took out their guns on the spot, trying to kill the tourists who blocked their way. However, they were stopped by Lu Yong.
Afterwards, the hotel was hit by an avalanche, and they were crushed under the building and ice and snow like everyone else. Several people in the team were injured to varying degrees, and one of the weakest members died.
After they escaped, Lu Yong saw the tragic situation around him and joined the digging and rescue.
However, the two men were unwilling and blamed Lu Yong for the death of the team members, saying that those tourists would have died anyway. If he hadn't stopped them, they would have robbed and killed them, cleared the way ahead, and maybe the whole team could have escaped safely.
In a life-and-death situation, one should kill decisively. His procrastination and mother-in-law are not worthy of being their captain.
Afterwards, the two men withdrew from the team and went down the mountain early.
When they learned about the treasure hunt in the afternoon, they realized that they had missed some important things. They overheard from other travelers that the way to turn on the treasure hunt mode was to dig in the snow for fifteen minutes. They immediately thought of Lu Yong and other team members.
When they withdrew from the team and left, Lu Yong and several others were digging in the snow to save people. They must have turned on the treasure hunt mode!
Thinking of this, they regretted it again, so they looked for Lu Yong and others everywhere, wanting to share the box.
But how is this possible?
They were jealous of the other party digging one box after another, but they were the first to withdraw from the team. Lu Yong had more people, and they knew they couldn't win in a head-on fight, so they thought of a sneak attack.
They checked for a long time, and took action when one of the team members was left alone and dug out another treasure box.
Little did they know that they were unlucky, because the treasure hunt time was coming to an end, and Lu Yong found someone alone and happened to come to look for him, so the current situation became.
The stalemate of confrontation was soon broken by the appearance of other team members. In the end, Lu Yong personally killed his former teammate. He is not a murderous person, but he will never be soft-handed when it is time to take action.
At the same time, because of this incident, Lu Yong also realized some problems. The passengers are now in a state of chaos. Everyone in their team is qualified to hunt for treasures, which is really a piece of fat meat. There are still more than 40 days left in the countdown, and it is very unsafe for them to stay in crowded places.
They originally found a store in the recreation area, which had indoor heating, but there were too many people, so everyone had to squeeze into one room and sleep on the floor.
But now, he decided to abandon the construction area, bypass Bainiao Mountain, and find a new place to stay in the larger ecological area behind.
After several screenings, the remaining people in Lu Yong's team all listened to him. Although everyone was afraid of the cold, they were more afraid of death, so they packed up their things, braved the heavy snow and walked through the recreation area, bypassed the lake area, and came to the back of Bainiao Mountain.
Before they found a suitable place to stay, a team member discovered Youxi and his group.
"Brother Yong, aren't these the people who lived in the berth next to ours on the train? How come they are in such a secluded corner? They are so quick!"
"Oh my god, they actually built a foundation and an ice wall by themselves!?"
"Boss, they are too much, they are eating hot pot again!"
"Stupid, look carefully, it's not just hot pot, there are also skewers! Wuwuwu, those seem to be the skewers from the BBQ restaurant in the hotel before, lamb skewers, crispy bones, chicken wings... Wuwuwu, I'm so hungry too... Why are you so stupid? We were so focused on eating, why didn't we think of packing some and put them in the space?"
"You are the stupid one! Isn't this for the purpose of saving space? Try to bring important things."
"Don't even mention space. Those two traitors Chen Shu are dead, so they didn't leave any space. Now, the only space left is our boss's, and the supplies have been reduced by half..."
Lu Yong didn't think much of it at first, but now after hearing what his teammates said, he felt a little stupid. He thought that this station would last 55 days. No matter how the mission went, there was a hotel with sufficient supplies, so there would be no worries about food and drink. Who knew that it would be so unfortunate that the hotel was buried by an avalanche...
"Okay, we have a lot of food. This place is really good. There is a forest on the outer circle, which just blocks the inside. It is
far away from the mountain, and the avalanche will not affect here. There are also many large rocks nearby, which are suitable for camping. Let's build an ice foundation, make the ice wall higher, and build a high platform for the sentinels. If you are really afraid of the cold, build an ice house!"
The boss spoke, and the team members started to act one by one. Lu Yong looked at the light coming from the ice wall across the way, and still walked over to say hello, saying that his team would also camp nearby, but would definitely not disturb them, just saying hello to show that they had no ill intentions.
You Xi listened to the entire conversation of Lu Yong's team. If the other party really had no intention at all, they should have nodded from a distance like before, and then stayed away from each other. Now it is obvious that they want to make friends.
But she had made deals with people before, and although she knew the other party's real intention of saying hello, she did not point it out to him.
She leaned back on the camping chair and nodded politely to the other party across the ice wall and shield.
When Lu Yong approached, he found the translucent light arc outside the enemy camp. What surprised him even more was that he couldn't smell the aroma of hot pot and barbecue even though he was so close. It was obviously blocked by the light arc.
He knew that some travelers would be rewarded with shield-type props, which were more popular than attack-type props. But the fact that the shield was still open in this non-combat situation showed the material strength of the enemy.
Lu Yong had more thoughts of making friends, but he also knew that rushing up would only make people wary and repulsive, so after saying hello, he quickly returned to his team.
That night, it was Lin Wu's turn to be on duty.
The three girls used the gap between the big rock and the tent to build a temporary toilet. Youxi took out two brand new portable toilets and asked You Zhenzhen and Tang Yatong to claim them and put them in the space and take them out when needed.
She also told them that they could use the water as much as they wanted. She had 20 cubic meters of warm and clean water, and a box of 50,000L of metal ice for drinking water that was not moved.
Tang Yatong used to live a rough life because she had no space and no conditions. Now she finally has space, and Youxi is meticulous in stocking things, so she can live as comfortably as she wants.
Taking a bath is too troublesome, but you can always wipe your body with hot water and change into clean underwear.
The three of them were laughing and talking in the temporary bathroom, and Lin Wu had already asked You Zhenzhen to temporarily remove the shield and go outside the ice wall to avoid suspicion.
When You Xi finished washing up and came out of the temporary bathroom, she happened to see this scene: heavy snow was falling, and Lin Wu was standing alone in the snow.
She subconsciously played the familiar background music in her mind.
You Xi: ...
She was speechless about herself.
**
That night, because of the heavy snow, the mountain road that had just been opened was blocked again.
Only a part of the tourists in Bainiao Lake Park were evacuated, all of whom were slightly injured in the avalanche and those who lost their families. The other healthy tourists could understand, and they lived in the villa for free, had food and heating, and compared with the survivors, they didn’t know how many times luckier they were. Therefore, their requirements were particularly low and they never complained about being trapped in the park again.
Heavy snow fell for two days, and the temperature at night once dropped to minus 40 degrees Celsius. The blizzard was so severe during the day that helicopters could not enter the mountain. However, due to the avalanche, the outside world was very concerned about the situation of tourists in Bainiao Lake.
The mountain road was never opened again. The outside world was afraid that tourists would stay for a long time and the park would not have enough supplies. In the end, drones were used to drop a lot of supplies in, most of which were cold-proof clothing, as well as medicine, food and water.
Some novice tourists with poor fighting skills missed the opportunity to start the treasure hunt mode, so they chose to blend in with the tourists to collect the distributed water and cold-proof supplies, and they had a good time.
Another part of the more capable veteran tourists have been fighting openly and secretly for the treasure box.
That afternoon, all the passengers received new news on their mobile phones at the same time.
Tip: The quota for the treasure hunt mode (Ice Lake) that was triggered this time has been filled. Good luck to everyone.
Obviously, a new treasure hunt mode was triggered today, and some tourists have obtained the treasure hunt qualification. The scope of this treasure hunt is obviously much smaller than before. After all, there is only one lake in Bainiao Lake Park
.
It happened that Youxi and Linwu were digging boxes outside. They have been adhering to the principle of acting in pairs these days, never acting alone, and there must be someone guarding the camping site.
After receiving this news, both of them went to the lakeside curiously. They found someone sitting on the ice, holding a fishing rod, fishing at the ice hole that was chiseled.
In the eyes of ordinary tourists, this group of people are full and have nothing to do. They can't catch anything after fishing all day.
However, in the eyes of the tourists, every time they lifted the fishing rod, there would be a treasure box hanging on the hook, either black or silver.
Youxi suddenly asked Lin Wu: "Do you think there are treasure boxes that are higher than ordinary and precious ones?"
"Maybe." Lin Wu could not give a definite answer. After all, it had been three or four days, and at most one or two silver boxes were obtained every day. Sometimes there were not even one or two, and all 10 were ordinary black boxes.
But at the end of the treasure hunt that day, Youxi dug up a golden box deep in a thick layer of ice.
The golden box was inlaid with beautiful diamonds.
After Youxi touched it lightly, the message on his mobile phone changed.
Congratulations on getting a rare treasure box! (Rare treasure boxes in the snow treasure hunt mode: 2)
Treasure box quantity: Common treasure (7), precious treasure (1), rare treasure (1)
