Chapter 44: Smoke
The other party did not pick up treasure chests on the mountain like Su Xiao did.
He continued to move forward unsteadily on his electric tricycle. Originally, he was ahead of Su Xiao, but the tricycle was much slower than a sports car, and he was using the foot-operated gear, so he arrived here an hour later than Su Xiao.
The mountain road is winding.
Fortunately, the car is a safe house, otherwise I would have to worry about not being able to climb the mountain because it is too steep.
Su Xiao deliberately stayed farther away, avoiding the other party, and watched him go towards another hill.
Su Xiao was also about to go that way.
But she felt something was strange. The other party did not stop to pick up the treasure chests, but instead pedaled the tricycle. Was he going somewhere?
Su Xiao didn't think that a person would go to a place without a purpose, but he didn't rule out the possibility that he was going to look for someone.
But even without a battery, you still have to go, which means it is not far away.
Since it is not far away, why should I go there now when the resources have just been refreshed?
Does the other party have better resource information?
Thinking of this, Su Xiao felt it necessary to follow and take a look.
Although it is not a good idea to take advantage of someone, everyone has to rely on their own abilities in the doomsday.
This uncle couldn't take the level 3 green treasure chest last time, and maybe he won't be able to take anything else this time, so she can get some benefits.
I unscrewed the dimensional handle and got into the Ferrari. Before I stepped on the accelerator, I saw a snow-white dove flying to the treetops.
Su Xiao's attention was instantly attracted.
Because there is a white door handle on the pigeon's wings.
The next moment, a young couple appeared in front of Su Xiao's car, looking around and searching with a purpose.
Su Xiao saw it and thought, is he here to find me?
Although the pigeon safe house cannot control its direction, its aerial vision allows it to choose whether to land at any time.
So the other party must have stopped because he saw her.
After thinking about it, Su Xiao temporarily turned off Xiaomo, slowly walked in front of the two people, and heard their conversation.
"Where is she? Didn't you say you saw a sister here just now?" The girl frowned.
The boy explained: "I did see a sister down there! Maybe... maybe she left!"
“So fast!” The girl didn’t believe it. She raised her eyebrows and glared at the boy with her hands on her hips. “Yang Zihao, you didn’t lie to me on purpose just to keep me in your safe house!”
"No! I, I really saw it!" The boy recalled and explained, "Maybe she discovered us, so she left first? Besides, even if she is a girl, she may not be willing to share a safe house with you..."
"Well, you can't let me live in the same safe house with you!" The girl stamped her feet in anger, but her ears were red, and she acted coquettishly, "My mom said! She won't let us have a premature relationship unless we both get into Peking University! If she knew that we've been together for three days, my mom would definitely..."
"Yiyi, do you really think my parents, uncles and aunts are still alive?" the boy suddenly asked.
Hurricanes, earthquakes, acid rain, zombies that appear at night and the survivors that melt.
Those few words condensed into the tip of a needle of fear, piercing the girl's heart that she had been afraid to face for several days and forcing her to face reality.
The girl's face turned pale instantly, her eyes reddened, "Yang Zihao, don't talk nonsense! My parents will be fine!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Hey, I didn't mean it..." The boy hurriedly chased after her, "I'm a man, no matter what happens, I will protect you and take care of you! I promised uncle and auntie!"
"My parents are still alive, and you haven't been admitted to Peking University. I'm not going to marry you in the future, so who needs your care?" The girl's tearful tone was filled with emotions that had nowhere to vent in the end of the world.
After thinking for a moment, Su Xiao could only conclude that it was really terrible to encounter such an end of the world.
No more looking, ready to leave.
"ah--"
The girls burst into screams.
Lidya Su thought something had happened and looked sideways.
The girl fell down the small slope with an ugly face.
"Yang Zihao, there is something tripping me! Can you see what it is?" He fell flat on his face and his tears disappeared. His face was full of strength and courage, and the fragility just now was put back in an instant.
"What is that?" The boy looked over, confused, "I don't see anything!"
"There is something. Didn't you say that you are linked to the safe house and can see some supplies that I can't see? Look carefully again!"
The boy was stunned for a moment, then he went to look for the place where the girl tripped as she said, and finally found the thing.
"There seems to be a box here! I can't see it, but I can touch it!"
The girl reached out and touched it. "Is this the treasure chest you mentioned? Then why do you say you can't see it?"
Boy: "I, I really didn't see it. I can't see it now! It, it's transparent. I've never seen it before."
The treasure chest was located behind the tree, which happened to be Su Xiao's blind spot just now, so she didn't see it, but now she discovered new circumstances.
That is this invisible but tangible transparent box, which can also be obtained by ordinary survivors.
Previously, only survivors bound to a safe house could see various treasure chests, and could see text decryption prompts only after obtaining weapons. Survivors who were not bound to a safe house could not obtain any resources, so owning a safe house was equivalent to winning at the starting line.
However, they ignore the fact that survivors who did not get a safe house are also called survivors. Getting a safe house first may give them a temporary lead, but they may not always be ahead.
The notice said that there would be public safe shelters after the version update, and the appearance of transparent treasure chests now gave ordinary survivors the right to collect supplies, which meant that ordinary survivors also had the qualifications to survive the apocalypse.
Moreover, most of the survivors bound to the safe house have preconceived notions that colorless treasure chests are just without color light, but they did not expect that they are completely transparent.
So this time, it is the survivors without safe houses who are more likely to find colorless treasure chests.
The rules have changed significantly, and the competition for supplies will become more intense in the future.
Su Xiao stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the mountain. Due to the time wasted, he had already lost all trace of the electric tricycle.
It seems that there is no chance of missing out.
This is the disadvantage of chasing the safe house. If it is a proper road, you can catch up by speeding up along the road. But the west side of the safe house can be passed in all directions, and no one knows what route the other party took.
He gave up the pursuit temporarily and looked around the nearby deserted mountains and forests. Only after he found no other survivors did he stop and continue looking for the treasure chest.
After two hours, I gained a lot, a total of thirty-eight transparent treasure chests.
But it’s almost twelve o’clock.
He only drank a bottle of milk and ate a few pieces of cake in the morning. Looking for the treasure chest consumed a lot of energy, so Su Xiao prepared to go back to the cellar to get some food.
I raised my head and stretched to loosen up my muscles, and happened to see smoke rising from the mountain not far away.
Um?
Is there a fire?
Su Xiao’s first reaction was: New disaster?
