Chapter 740 The Beginning of Frost (4)
[Yun Xiangrong from the Pitcairn Islands]: "Be brave. You are relying on the fact that you don't have to fight in the sea. You haven't worn any clothes for two or three days."
[Quiet Diving]: "But diving suits don't have any powerful anti-fog function, right?"
Shu Lingyi had just woken up and was washing up while looking at the previous records.
I couldn't figure out for a while what the difference was between wearing a diving suit and not wearing one?
[Qing Ben Zhi Ruo]: "So you didn't wear a diving suit, but just some normal warm clothes, right?"
[Qiuqiu]: "Yeah, I'm also wearing a tight, high-necked outfit, which feels similar to a diving suit."
Perhaps it was because she mentioned what Luo Zhiqing was best at that she popped up on the public screen.
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "The waterproofness of a diving suit is not just about the material, but also because it wraps tightly when you put it on, protecting your neck as well."
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "It is elastic enough and fits perfectly. Wearing a diving goggles can protect the whole body. Even if you soak in water, the seawater cannot penetrate through the collar."
[Lin Lanlan]: "I understand. It means that when you are in the water, it is inevitable that the wind will get into your body through the collar. Put on a diving suit and a gas mask so that when we walk in the fog, the wind can't get in through the collar, right?"
[Lin Lanlan]: "If we don't wear it like this, just like the weather forecast said, the wind will bring up the fog. Even if we have a defogger to disperse the fog, it's hard to prevent the wind from blowing into the collar. Apart from the collar and the cuffs, these places can get into the clothes and come into contact with people."
[Amiou]: "I see. It was the same thing when I was exposed to the miasma yesterday. The back of my neck and my hands were the most seriously damaged."
[Qiuqiu]: "So what exactly is the function of this fog? It won't kill anyone after such a short contact time, right?"
[Jing Zhao]: "Yu Yuan just reviewed the information she learned from the public screen yesterday. It was the symptoms described by the dead players."
[Kyo Zhao]: "Based on what I have learned, this white mist may be active."
【Yi Ling】: "Active?!"
Why is the plot getting more and more scary? Can Bai Wu still be alive?
[Kyōshō]: “You can’t say that this is alive, but it has activity. It will come into contact with human skin and absorb moisture.”
[Kyo Zhao]: "This should take some time to come into contact with the skin, and even if you leave the foggy area and return to your home in the territory, the symptoms of continued dehydration will continue to appear."
[Qiuqiu]: "But I felt a little uncomfortable, so I applied pearl cream, and then I was fine. I won't die, right?"
Although she didn't know those players, this was the first day of the new solar term. Even if the days before that were counted, their situation shouldn't be that much more serious than hers, right?
Her wounds have fully healed now, but others died directly. The fog can't treat them differently.
[Cang Sheng Taegeuk]: "I think there is another possibility. If the symptoms continue to be severe, it may be so serious that it may not be able to be easily treated."
[Kyung So]: "What do you mean by that?"
[Cang Sheng Taegeuk]: "Not long after we came back last night, Li Chaodong and the others mentioned in our territory's public screen that they felt uncomfortable in their arms and backs."
[Cang Sheng Taege]: "At that time, we advised them to buy pearl cream to use. The symptoms they described at the beginning were just a little uncomfortable, peeling, and it would hurt when the dead skin was torn off."
[Yin who loves to read novels]: "Cang Sheng and I tried to persuade them, but no one listened. They even said something about capitalists being leeks and sissies using skin care products."
【Aihongbianye Tianmozi】: "Good fellow, you didn't buy the pearl cream, did you? No, that's not right. They were the ones who frantically ordered the pearl cream in the middle of the night because it was out of stock and forced Yuyuan to wake me up to rush to buy it."
Thinking of this, Ye Hong felt a little annoyed and speechless. Every time the servers are merged, there will inevitably be such crazy people.
[Cang Sheng Taege]: "But later when they were anxious to get the pearl cream, the symptoms had already started to worsen. I suspect that it was already very serious at that time, so serious that it could deduct the player's health."
[Yu Yuan is not Taro Yuan]: "That's true. Those people also talked about this issue."
The player who had the final conversation with Li Chaodong and others began to piece together the truth of the matter in a few words, and Shu Lingyi also watched carefully.
Jing Zhao may have learned some information about this disease by now.
[Jing Zhao]: "The persistence of this mist is far more severe than we thought. Moreover, similar to cancer, the treatment in the early and middle stages is very simple. Apply pearl cream to moisturize the skin and it will heal quickly."
[Jing Zhao]: "But if it is delayed until the later stages and blood loss starts, simply applying pearl cream may not be enough, or it may not be able to cure it all at once. It requires multiple, uninterrupted applications, and the treatment time will be several times longer."
[Yi Ling]: "I think I understand what Jing Zhao means. These people thought that they could come here safely after applying the pearl cream temporarily. In fact, this hydrating and moisturizing pearl cream also has a time limit. The dehydration debuff lasts too long. Players need to apply the pearl cream as soon as the effect ends until the debuff is completely offset."
【One Two Three Seven Seven Seven】: "If you don't pay attention to this detail, the pearl cream will become ineffective and you will continue to die of dehydration."
That’s what I mean. Now everyone understands it.
[Xin Jing]: "So, even if we face miasma in the territory, it's the same. Doesn't having the Seven Treasures Bracelet mean we can be safe? Do we also have to wear a diving suit?"
[Yue Shengliang who loves sweet-scented osmanthus fish]: "I can't help it. For now, there is probably no clothing more suitable for the current situation than a diving suit."
We have already learned the general intelligence and everyone has learned from the lessons of our predecessors. After breakfast, everyone continues to act according to the previous division of labor.
But this time when we went down to the sea, it only took a morning and everyone had gained very little.
Shu Lingyi couldn't help but frown. After the exploration of the last solar term, everyone was familiar with many locations. They knew what materials would be refreshed at this location, which monsters would appear there, and whether the harvested materials and hunted monsters would be refreshed after a few days.
But when I went there today, those places where materials and monsters should have been refreshed were empty!
【十三夷】: "Don't mention it. I've been to no less than ten mines, and none of them have been refreshed. Logically speaking, these veins should have been refreshed today."
[Xiao Liang who loves to eat radish]: "The starfire conches and dazzling abalones on the shore are all gone, or you can only find one or two in the corners."
I spent the whole morning going through all the familiar places. Not only did I not see any level 7 or 8 monsters, I couldn't even see any level 5 or 6 monsters.
The young flying phoenix fish that used to refresh every two days are now nowhere to be seen.
[Yi Ling]: "It's not like we harvested too much resources last solar term, so we plan to exhaust the resources this solar term, right?"
[So Redundant]: "Could it be that we hunted too much in this vast ocean, causing the monsters and other creatures to go to places we haven't explored yet?"
There were many people who shared the same idea as Zhong Qingwei, so after replenishing their stomachs, everyone drove the submarine to farther and deeper waters.
[Shi Sui Sui]: "Is this the price of a good harvest? I've walked very far and deep here, but there's still nothing. It feels weird."
After another two hours of searching, the submarine moved at its maximum speed, but there were still not even ten monsters found.
The vast sea, because it is deep and boundless, can give people a special sense of oppression.
Being too calm can make people feel uneasy instinctively.
But after exploring all the way and not getting ashore until 6:30 in the evening, we still gained very little.
That night, discussions on the public screen also revolved around this, with each level of discussion becoming more and more heated.
However, the accident happened so suddenly that the weather forecast did not give any warning at all, and no matter how hard the players tried to infer, they could not come to any conclusion.
Ultimately, it can only be temporarily attributed to "the price paid after the harvest in early autumn."
【The Land of Misery is Full of Heavenly Demons】: "It is better to go to bed early. Maybe tomorrow will be better."
Shu Lingyi lay on the bed and began to repair the protective shield with the gold coins obtained from taxes. When the poisonous miasma spread inside the territory, it would actually destroy the protective shield.
The dehydrating poisonous fog outside also tried to invade inside, and the protective shield was attacked from both inside and outside, causing the health bar to be severely reduced.
"Luckily I have enough gold coins and I upgraded once before, so the speed of losing health is relatively slow. Otherwise I wouldn't dare to think about it."
[Thank goodness you upgraded, otherwise the two would merge into one, and no matter how powerful the shield is, it would be destroyed. ]
When Shu Ling saw this sentence, he thought that Xiao Ai, who had been silent for a whole day, finally spoke, and was about to ask something, such as what the situation in the sea area was today.
But Xiao Ai didn't say anything and continued to pretend to be dead.
Shu Ling was silent and had to go to bed first.
In other territories, just as Shu Lingyi guessed, the protective shield had no time to be upgraded and the blood loss rate was too fast, so that some lords did not even have time to collect the gold coins for the upgrade before they were broken.
The poisonous miasma spread at noon and quickly merged with the poisonous fog. At this time, ordinary props could no longer truly block the harmful power of this fog.
As long as people walk in the fog, the durability of the defogger and the seven-treasure bracelet will decrease at a rapid rate.
Not to mention the clothes, gas masks and other props on their bodies, the wind brings the fog to everyone, making it impossible to defend against it.
Who among the players in this gaming area could have expected that a poisonous miasma would suddenly appear at noon?
As a result, the poisonous miasma was everywhere, the protective shield was broken, and the poisonous miasma and poison fog merged and upgraded, directly performing a plus version on them. The original survival rate was 6,500, but more than 3,000 people died in a few hours!
The remaining people also had a hard time. With the fusion of the poisonous fog, the poisonous miasma would not appear only when the temperature was highest.
Instead, it has been lingering in this game area for years. Some players originally wanted to bring all the props, hide in a submarine and live under the sea for a while.
I thought that even if there was really no food, I could still get some basic food on the seabed. If I lacked crystals as fuel, I could just hunt monsters on the seabed to make up for it.
They thought so, but the seabed was empty on the second day of Frost Descent, which taught them a lesson.
------------------------------------------------------
The third day of Frost Descent.
Shu Ling woke up early. He didn't sleep very well the whole night.
But she soon became happy because Xiao Ai gave her a hint when she came to work early in the morning!
[Due to an abnormality in the echo system of the leading whale, a large number of whales were stranded, and two elderly whales that were supposed to return to the embrace of their mother ocean have died.]
[If not dealt with in time, these two whales will send the entire gaming area into hell on earth. ]
"This...a whale is stranded, dead, or exploding!"
I remembered the news about whale explosions that I had read before. The destructive power of whale explosions is extremely huge. If it were placed in a game, an explosion of a level 8 whale - no wonder it would turn the game area into a living hell.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Shu Ling couldn't help but show a trace of worry: whale explosions are terrible, but dead whales are also extremely difficult to deal with.
At this time, the possibility of transporting the whales back to the sea is almost zero, because as long as there is a little external force that disrupts the balance in their bodies, a whale explosion may be triggered in the next second.
Unless we learn to bury them on the spot, but that is only a delaying tactic, and more often we need to carry out advance blasting.
Use a fishing net?
"Whales are ridiculously large in size, and putting them in the game would only make them even bigger. Ordinary fishing nets would barely be able to match their size."
As soon as Shu Ling finished washing up, she ate breakfast while thinking about how to deal with the situation. At the same time, she also had to think of a reason to get other players to accompany her.
Xiao Ai said that the whales were stranded, and some of them should be alive. There is no way to know where these guys are.
So we can only search along the coast, and it would be best if we can find it before noon so that we have the afternoon to deal with it.
[If it’s not resolved by tonight, the entire game area will go to heaven along with the whale! ]
"Ordinary fishing nets won't work. We can customize special fishing nets." Shu Lingyi didn't forget that she had a good friend.
After breakfast, she took all her equipment and ran to Luo Zhiqing's house, asking Luo Zhiqing to find a way to make a special fishing net for her.
"How special does a special fishing net have to be?"
"It has to...its ductility is extremely strong and can cover--" Shu Lingyi suddenly couldn't remember how to describe the size of the whale.
Luo Zhiqing also noticed Shu Lingyi's dilemma and asked softly, "How much coverage do you want? If you require a very strong ductility, the net will lose its original strangling effect and will most likely become very soft."
After hearing this, Shu Lingyi became excited!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Qingqing, how soft can this be? Can it make the things caught in the fishing net unaware?"
