Ji Li asked with a complicated expression, "My profession is a gardener?"
Xia Ning: "Watering the flowers of our motherland?"
Ji Li shook her head: "The literal meaning."
Her profession can stimulate the vitality of plants, such as accelerating ripening, increasing crop yields, and even slightly controlling plants, but the wasteland instance is devoid of any greenery.
Ji Li felt that her profession was useless in this dungeon and couldn't be of much help.
Xia Ning, however, disagreed.
She unconsciously pinched her younger sister's cheek and asked her older sister, "Don't people usually put some green plants in the house to dilute formaldehyde after renovation? Can you use plants to dilute the radiation?"
Ji Li: (⊙?⊙)
An unforeseen path.
"It has to be you again. You're always full of clever ideas, but you're just lazy," Ji Li exclaimed.
“The second half of the sentence is redundant,” Xia Ning urged her, “Try it quickly.”
Xia Ning brought out several dishes, which were left over from when she was on the Ark trying to fool the system with tasks.
Her portable supermarket had many different kinds of green plants, but unfortunately the system cut her skills in half, leaving her with only space, so she couldn't take out any of the supplies in the supermarket.
Ji Li: "..."
With a wry smile, she picked up a beet seed: "You expect this thing to protect against radiation?"
Xia Ning looked at her with starry eyes and said, "I'm counting on you, my dear sister."
Ji Li: →_→
Despite her sister's sweet talk, Ji Li remained focused on using her skills.
As a result, they had a bumper harvest of beets in their RV.
Xia Ning asked expectantly, "Will it work?"
“I don’t know,” Ji Li said, clasping her hands together. “I prayed fervently to the seeds.”
"Oh, oh, oh."
Xia Ning quickly tried to salvage the situation by offering even more prayers, and she even pinched her younger sister's little hands together.
The pharmacist's prayer was an afterthought, but the gardener's prayer did receive a response.
After the two of them tested it, it can be basically confirmed that placing the grown beets in the car can offset the debuff that reduces one's stamina value per hour.
Since Ji Li is still a novice gardener, these artificially ripened plants only work indoors. If placed outdoors, the radiation is too strong, and they will quickly die.
However, this is already good news for the two sisters. At least they don't have to wrap themselves up like astronauts in the car anymore, and they can also take some food out. They no longer have to tear open the packaging and start stuffing their food in, eating one meal a minute at a time, afraid that if they eat too slowly they will eat contaminated food.
Xia Ning was even more excited than Ji Li: "Garlic kills bacteria, so it will definitely work even better if you use garlic!"
Ji Li was speechless: "Mom tells you to grow some flowers and plants at home every day to cultivate your mind, and all you do is grow garlic?"
Xia Ning waved her hand casually: "Hey, I'm growing cacti."
Ji Li: "And they died."
Xia Ning lifted up her younger sister: "Look, this one is perfectly fine."
Ji Li looked at the little tortoise with pity: "You've suffered, raising her must have been tough."
Sister: "Squeak!"
Green plants were placed by the windows and doors of the RV.
The two of them ate the garlic separately.
The two sisters were even more boastful than the other.
The radiation debuff issue has been temporarily resolved. The two of them are staying in the RV and not going out unless absolutely necessary. When they need to go out, they wear protective suits.
They take turns wearing the same protective suit.
Xia Ning glanced at the number of online users; there were still 985 people remaining, so the competition for the first batch of supplies wasn't too fierce.
Everyone is still observing.
The situation will definitely become more intense as time goes on.
Those without space cannot store their food for long. Once their food is eaten up or contaminated, they have no choice but to fight for airdropped supplies.
More than PVP, Xia Ning is concerned about how she dies the second time.
-
Day 3
"A new death card has been randomly generated: Drowning."
Xia Ning and Ji Li exchanged a glance. Xia Ning took out a large basin, and Ji Li put water into it.
To prevent the younger sister from getting anxious this time, they put her at the door to guard it, and then the two of them drew the curtain to shut out everything.
Drowning and falling from a height are not the same.
Even if the pain is blocked, one can still clearly feel the passing of one's life, and the will to survive is almost an unconscious instinct.
Even if they had stones tied to their bodies beforehand, they still had to hold each other's heads down to complete this death card game.
Xia Ning felt that she could now participate in psychological counseling with her older sister.
Xia Ning and Ji Li's deaths have reached 2/5.
Before the two could discuss what to do next, a deafening crash suddenly came from outside the car, shaking the interior so violently that no one could stand up.
Ji Li practically pounced on Xia Ning, pinning her beneath her.
My little sister came running over, squeaking.
Xia Ning covered her ears, feeling a buzzing pain in her head.
She was all too familiar with this kind of impact.
It's either an earthquake or a missile launch.
This time is a little different.
When the two sisters ran to the ground, they saw thick smoke billowing in the sky and explosions coming from afar, one after another.
The number of online users has started to decline.
Xia Ning opened the map and saw that some players had blown up the factory behind it, trying to forcibly reduce the number of players.
The air was scorching hot from the burning building, and the ground continued to tremble.
Xia Ning and Ji Li made a decisive decision to move upwards. Ten minutes later, the intervals between the series of explosions gradually became longer and longer.
Suddenly, a torrential downpour began.
—Weather forecast: Acid rain is coming, outdoor buildings are corroding, and vehicles will be unusable for a short period of time to maintain them.
Ji Li turned the steering wheel, and the RV, shrouded in rain, crashed through the door of the nearest building, stopping in the abandoned hall with a screeching sound, leaving an arc-shaped track on the tiled floor.
Xia Ning packed everything detachable from the car into her storage space at an unprecedented speed.
The next second, the two people and the rat landed on the dusty floor.
Xia Ning: "Damn it!"
Ji Li: "Damn it!"
You know how to protect the car, but you should protect the people inside!
The outdoor roads have been corroded by acid rain, turning the once smooth asphalt into a bumpy, potholed mess, emitting wisps of smoke.
Xia Ning glanced at the number of online users: 641.
In just a short time, nearly a third of the people have been lost.
The incident occurred during the day, and the three [Peace Charms] provided by the game were completely ineffective; players could only escape by relying on their own abilities and items.
The worst thing is that after escaping one deadly threat, another one immediately follows.
Xia Ning and Ji Li calmed themselves down and realized that they had taken emergency evasion by entering a department store.
There are still many supplies left here, but unfortunately, over time, the remaining clothing has become contaminated with a lot of radioactive elements.
Xia Ning and Ji Li decided to see if this place was suitable as a temporary base.
They first went underground, where shopping malls usually have underground food courts and underground parking garages.
As soon as Ji Li and Xia Ning stepped down the stairs, two zombie dogs pounced on them.
The two men swiftly and decisively disposed of the small monster exposed to radiation.
