[Special mode on]
[As volcanic ash covers the entire globe, the world enters eternal night mode]
[There is no distinction between day and night in this mode, please be careful]
Qianyue was suddenly awakened by a system prompt. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt her backpack suddenly sink, as if the prizes for the new day's lottery had been distributed, but there was only darkness in front of her.
The fire in the house went out at some point, but the temperature inside the house kept rising instead of dropping.
It's so hot.
Like being in a steamer.
Qianyue glanced at the time——
Day 5 00:05:03
There is an additional suffix at the end, showing [Eternal Night]
Qianyue hurriedly threw aside her cloak, lit the oil lamp, and walked to the door to take a look. Outside, dusk was thick and dark. The only light was a sliver of red on the horizon—the dark rock volcano that was still erupting.
Volcanic ash continued to fall from the sky, and the smell of sulfur in the air became stronger and stronger. Qianyue was not paying attention for a moment and accidentally inhaled a few mouthfuls. Suddenly, her entire nasal cavity felt like it was burning on fire. She was so scared that she quickly let go of the vines that served as a door curtain and went back into the house.
“Ahem…”
Qianyue only noticed at this time that the mask she had worn before going to bed had automatically disappeared after its durability ran out. Now she only had the towel tied on her face, which was completely useless.
“Cough cough cough…”
Qianyue quickly put on a new mask, waited for two seconds to catch her breath, and then quickly clicked on her character attributes.
"Fuck."
Qianyue maxed out her status before going to bed last night, but when she opened it now, all the values turned orange.
Probably because of the two mouthfuls of ashes she accidentally choked on just now, her health points dropped visibly.
The consumption rate is much faster than in the previous copy!
Name: Qianyue
Occupation: Beggar
Level: 2
HP: 35/115 [Respiratory Infection]
Stamina: 50/110 [Hunger]
Spirit value: 45/105 [Dejected]
[Dejection]: The chance of triggering wandering monsters increases by 5%.
She couldn't help but mutter, "This volcanic ash is too powerful..."
Qianyue said this as she replenished her health and stamina. When it came to her spirit, she hesitated for a moment.
Although she failed to make a deal with Yu Chengyi in the end, the mental suppressants in her backpack were still enough.
If it were in the past, Qianyue would have replenished her status without saying a word, so as to avoid going berserk due to low spirit value.
But when she saw the description of the state of [mental depression], she stopped involuntarily and seemed to be thinking about something.
"The chance of triggering wandering monsters has increased by 5%... Does this mean they will appear on their own?"
Although Qianyue really wanted to make a gas mask, going out in this weather would be tantamount to suicide.
The supplies she currently has are almost enough for her to complete this dungeon. There is really no need to go out and take risks just to pick up a few more items.
But it would be even better if the other party could come to you on their own initiative.
"Anyway, there are only 45 points left, so it's not too dangerous. Let's give it a try."
Qianyue immediately gave up the idea of using psychotropic drugs, sat cross-legged at the door with an oil lamp, and began to wait quietly for her fish to take the bait.
The wind outside the house was blowing, and the dry trees were swaying in the wind, like ghosts in the dark night, which looked a bit creepy.
But Qianyue had long been accustomed to this kind of life and didn't think there was anything wrong for a moment.
Qianyue had been to dangerous places before when she was conducting field research. As time went by, she became stronger and stronger, and getting injured became a common occurrence for her.
Injuries in the game are mainly reflected in the reduction of numerical values. At most, you can feel a little pain after the reduction, but the bleeding in reality is real bleeding.
The reason why Qianyue was able to take such a long vacation this time was also related to her health.
Although her family respected her choice, they were also very worried. Her parents had mentioned more than once that they wanted her to return home and work as a clerk in a company or become a professor at a university.
He even arranged a blind date for her for the first time.
Although Qianyue finally used the excuse of going to other planets for investigation and did not attend the dinner.
Thinking about it now, because she was too resistant at the time, she only remembered that the other person seemed to have served in the army. As for the rest... because she had never met him at all - not even seen his photo, let alone had any impression of him, she even forgot his name completely.
Thinking of this, the scene of teaching Du Yuanlang a lesson yesterday involuntarily emerged in her mind.
Although Du Yuanlang is a naughty kid who deserves a beating, his brother is obviously a former soldier and a person with a high sense of morality.
If it were ordinary players, they would probably rush in just to occupy the house, and there would be very few who would be able to apologize sincerely.
"It's a bit miserable. With two troublemakers around, my life will definitely not be easy from now on."
Qianyue has always been reluctant to talk to girls like Yulu who are all sweet-talkers.
When she thought about Du Yue being targeted by a girl like this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her in her heart.
As for herself...
Rather than love, it was the situation down the mountain that attracted her attention more.
The place Qianyue chose had a good terrain. It was backed by a cliff, which provided a natural shelter and allowed one to see the situation on half of the mountain below.
In the darkness, the light of the torch became very obvious. After a while, Qianyue saw several flashes of light.
It was obvious that the player was making a fire.
Qianyue couldn't help but shake her head, almost foreseeing their predicament in the next few days.
The man who had a small mountain of firewood but only lit an oil lamp said to himself, "Now is not the time to light a fire."
As mentioned earlier, after the eternal night falls, the temperature will also change drastically.
The volcanic ash outside is continuing to fall, and now is the time to heat up.
But the temperature will soon rise and an ice age will come, when the whole world will be frozen and it will be difficult to collect dry firewood*.
"We really can't relax for even a moment."
Sighing like this, Qianyue placed the backpack behind her and lay down comfortably.
On the sixth day, it started raining outside.
After experiencing yesterday's high temperature, the plants dried up, the rivers dried up, and many animals were looking forward to the arrival of a rain.
The moment it started to rain, countless creatures popped their heads out one after another, trying to welcome the first baptism after the disaster.
However, they never expected that this rain was not a blessing from God, but an invitation from the god of death.
The raindrops fell on the ground, gathered into streams, and merged into the rushing river. Wherever it passed, the grass and trees rotted and the mountains and rivers collapsed!
Acid rain causes plant roots to rot, and the acidified soil will become barren within a few years. Meanwhile, animals also suffer from both skin and stomach problems.
Somewhere on the map.
“Run!”
"They're catching up!"
Four or five players were running desperately in front, and a nearly three-meter-tall dinosaur was chasing them from behind.
"Split up! Split up!"
The person running in the front yelled, and the other teammates quickly dispersed.
But what he didn't expect was that the dinosaur was not distracted by this, but instead ran towards him even faster!
As the distance between the two sides became smaller and smaller, he could even smell the stench of saliva in the air!
But at the critical moment, the dinosaur suddenly raised its head and roared, then with a "boom", it fell straight to the ground.
The player being chased was confused: "What's going on?"
"What's going on? What did you do?"
His teammates were equally confused, thinking he had done something to the other team. It was clear that he looked frightened, and it didn't seem like he was faking it.
"I...I don't know either. I just collapsed suddenly..."
There was a moment of silence, and the dinosaur twitched even more violently. At this moment, someone finally reacted -
"I know it! It's volcanic ash! Dinosaurs don't have nose hairs, so it inhaled all the ash!"
The players wore masks, which more or less filtered out the dust in the air.
The dinosaur inhaled all of those things into its lungs, and its breathing became heavier as it struggled. In the last moment of its death, the breath it exhaled was burning like fire.
And this scene is not accidental.
The pterosaur's wings were corroded with holes, forcing it to make an emergency landing. However, after circling for a long time, it could not find a place to rest.
The river was littered with floating corpses and the stench was overwhelming. Various types of dragons* lurking in the water rushed out of the water one after another due to lack of oxygen, trying to find a chance to breathe on land.
However, they could not have imagined that even the large predators that once dominated the land were ruthlessly buried under the thick volcanic ash.
For a moment, the screams and wails of various creatures mixed together, like the swan song at the end of the century.
Lives were devastated and the earth was shaking. Heavy rainfall caused mudslides, and the changing terrain gave magma an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The whole world was experiencing unprecedented trials, but the volcanic eruption showed no signs of being extinguished during this rain.
The charred land continued to expand, and the fiery red magma turned into a blue-purple color that was almost like the underworld under the influence of acid rain.
Looking down from above, the blue-purple magma continues to spread around along the mantle plume, and the entire crater looks like a cluster of evil flowers blooming on the gangrene on the surface of the planet!
