Water should also be stored
The starving residents had stockpiled food, as if it were a matter of course. Although the brief shortage of food and clothing caused a slight panic, few people were truly alarmed.
After all, the daily necessities in stores and three meals a day in restaurants are all supplied as usual!
However, Ye Miaomiao began to feel anxious. Food was fine; she had "Devil Tech: Zombie Fertilizer." After harvesting the crops, she could sprinkle the fertilizer on the fields the next time she tilled them, and the plants would grow normally.
What makes Ye Miaomiao extremely anxious is the lack of fresh water!
In hot weather, people only use water for bathing and drinking, and the real water consumption comes from evaporation at high temperatures. Ye Miaomiao felt extremely anxious as she watched the "remaining fresh water" on the territory interface constantly decrease.
She got the treasure bag too late, and there was too little water in it.
"Central District?" Li Yihan's words eased Ye Miaomiao's anxiety. "You've been busy with landscaping lately, so you probably haven't explored the Central District much. I found a large amount of water resources. See you in your territory tomorrow morning before sunrise."
Early the next morning, the group set out from the territory.
Upon hearing the news, Zeng Wei and several other members of the regiment joined the main force. While the central region possessed abundant resources, they were all small-scale. If there truly were abundant water resources, there would be no shortage of other valuable resources nearby.
As soon as we left the territory, we immediately felt the surrounding environment deteriorate. The sky was filled with yellow sand, as if it were scorching us in a furnace.
After driving for more than half an hour, a car suddenly stopped.
The driver exclaimed: "I'm getting negative effects!"
[Exposed to high temperatures, you are feeling unbearably hot and dizzy. Gaining the negative status: Heatstroke (all attributes -10).]
[Affected by the negative status "Heat Stroke", your health is decreasing at a rate of -1 every ten minutes. Once your health reaches zero, you will die normally.]
[Warm Tips: Please avoid sunlight and high temperatures as soon as possible and get enough rest in a cool place.]
He showed the panel to everyone with tears in his eyes, and another person sitting next to him exclaimed, "I have heatstroke too!"
The two people who were about to die "naturally" looked at each other, wishing they could hug each other and cry on the spot.
"Whenever you leave the territory, even if the sun isn't shining, wear sunscreen. Always keep plum juice in your water bottle and drink it if you feel hot." Zeng Wei, an experienced man, saw how the two men were dressed and immediately guessed it was their first time out of the territory. "You should have asked before following them. It was so reckless."
"Hasn't everyone been anxious lately? We heard there are no monsters in the central area and plenty of resources..."
"We didn't expect that. We both went to the Central District during the last disaster, and our attribute values are quite high. We thought nothing would happen, so we dared to come with our friends."
"Yeah, none of our friends said anything. He's still the one who never participated in defending the city and gained attributes, but he's fine..."
The two of them argued back and forth, and after a few words, they suddenly realized - "Why didn't he say anything? Where is he?"
Only then did he see that the man in the back seat of the car had already fallen into a coma and was unconscious. After checking his condition, he was immediately shocked.
[The player has suffered severe heatstroke! Consciousness is disoriented! Warning! The player has acquired the negative status: severe heatstroke (all attributes -20). The player has contracted the disease: heatstroke (with a certain chance of permanent sequelae)]
[Warm Tip: Be sure to seek medical attention as soon as possible and get enough rest! ]
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The two were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. No one expected that this person had low attributes and suffered from severe heatstroke!
Everyone quickly handed over sunscreen and heat prevention props. The two thanked them repeatedly. After stabilizing the situation, Ye Miaomiao rubbed his forehead - what a reckless guy!
Fortunately, these people came out with the main force. If they had come out rashly without anyone around them, it would have been terrible.
Thinking of this, Ye Miaomiao issued another notice and sent a team member to send a few people back. After making sure that none of the remaining people had rushed out without any preparation, he led the remaining people towards the central area.
With Li Yihan leading the way, the group quickly found a large spring.
This is a complete ecosystem. Although it is underground, the vegetation here is lush and there are many kinds of edible vegetables and fruits. The most surprising thing is that the stone on the top of the cave emits a faint light, illuminating the entire cave.
"That's fluorescent stone. You can take it down and transplant it to your own territory." Seeing Ye Miaomiao looking up, Li Yihan immediately understood what she was thinking. "It just glows, it's not a prop. Not everything that glows is a prop."
"Oh..." Ye Miaomiao looked away dejectedly, "It's useless and doesn't shine."
Li Yihan: "..." She somehow understood Ye Miaomiao's inner thoughts. This person just thought they were props and wanted to hoard them all, right?
However, fluorite was not the purpose of this trip, so Ye Miaomiao quickly shifted her gaze to the spring water.
"Boss! One compartment of a backpack can hold a large bucket of water! But the backpack has a limited weight capacity, and one backpack can hold at most three buckets of water. Fortunately, we have many backpacks and can hold a lot!" The team members shouted happily after the test.
The team members didn't even look at the fresh and juicy fruits and vegetables next to them, and just filled buckets with water.
Zeng Wei, who came along, asked in surprise and learned that they would not run out of food due to the disaster, but would most likely run out of water. He temporarily decided to use part of his backpack to store water - apart from anything else, Zeng Wei's main focus was to listen to advice.
The others followed suit and stockpiled a lot of water.
Just follow the territory, you won’t go wrong.
Ye Miaomiao walked around the crowd and headed off alone. She had a treasure bag that could hold an unimaginable amount of water. However, this item was too important, and Ye Miaomiao didn't want to expose it to anyone for the time being.
She squatted behind a rock and carefully examined the water quality -
【Natural spring water:
Introduction: Clear, pollution-free, pathogen-free, contains small amounts of minerals and trace elements. Can be drunk directly.
Effect: None (Some people may say it is particularly sweet, but that may just be an illusion.)
Ye Miaomiao: It doesn’t matter whether it’s sweet or not, as long as it’s drinkable it’s good enough!
She confidently opened her treasure bag, opened the remaining dozen or so storage areas, and lowered the bag into the water. Spring water flowed rapidly through the bag's opening into the storage areas. Because it was a special item, it filled up in a matter of moments.
Doraemon's Warehouse No. 23: Natural Spring Water x 40 tons
Doraemon's Warehouse No. 24: Natural Spring Water x 40 tons
......
Doraemon's Warehouse No. 34: Natural Spring Water x 40 tons
"Do you feel... that the water level has suddenly dropped a lot?" At this time, surprised conversations came from the front.
"Really? Did we pack too much? It shouldn't be that big, the lake is so big!"
"Has the drought spread here? No, hurry up and fill it up before the water gets any less."
Ye Miaomiao silently withdrew her sinful hand. Unable to control herself, she bought a few more warehouses and filled them with more. It seemed that she had already filled enough, and even everyone had noticed the obvious changes. She should also leave more water to avoid damaging the local ecology.
Walking back to the crowd silently, Ye Miaomiao, who was forced to stop stockpiling, felt a little sad. However, after a moment, her heavy steps became cheerful again.
I’ll change the place next time and continue stockpiling!
