Chapter 741 The Beginning of Frost (5)
"I'm not really sure, but there is definitely such material."
Luo Zhiqing searched in her warehouse and finally found a piece of dark green ore: "The mutant silkworms I recently cultivated like to chew on this stone."
"The silk produced after chewing is green, but it is incredibly flexible and ductile, and at the same time it is as light as a cotton cloud. I originally wanted to save it to make some underwear."
The ore was discovered by Luo Zhiqing and Su Ranran on the seabed last solar term. Shu Lingyi didn't know much about Su Ranran's mineral veins.
I won't ask about her often, she can do whatever she wants.
At most, pay attention to the output of minerals with higher demand, such as coal mines.
In addition to the coal mine discovered by [Wen Jiu Xin Nan Ke] at the beginning, there is also one discovered by [Call Me Sister Quickly] in the territory.
Later, Su Ranran discovered the third underwater coal mine.
Although this seems a little unreasonable, the game does not follow scientific logic completely.
You should know that winter will begin when the next solar term comes. Coal mines can only be dug during the Cold Dew season with hammers made from another special ore on the seabed.
Before that, it was always displayed that the item level was not high enough and mining was not possible.
For this purpose, Shulingyi specially built a new independent warehouse to store the coal.
Putting away the ore, Luo Zhiqing took out a handful of green silk.
The arranged silk ball is in Luo Zhiqing's hand. If you don't look closely, it just feels like a pool of spring water.
[Bibo silk: This is a type of silk with extremely strong ductility, excellent toughness and light as cotton clouds. The fabrics or items made from it will have a texture like Bibo, making the skin unable to detect its presence, and it also has no offensive power. ]
"This is really good, Qingqing, this is it!" Shu Ling smiled brightly. He had never been so excited.
This silk was born out of necessity!
It is specially used to deal with the tricky whale explosion. If handled properly, perhaps the damage caused by the whale explosion can be minimized.
[If you can send a whale that is about to explode back to the sea, the "One Whale Falls, All Things Grow" buff will be triggered that night, and all marine supplies will be refreshed directly.]
[Of course, if it’s not handled properly, it will be hell on earth. ]
"You really want to use this to make a fishing net. This material is very precious. I only have this much, and I can probably only make one fishing net."
"One copy is fine, just one copy is enough."
Shu Lingyi held Luo Zhiqing's hand, looked expectantly at the handful of blue silk in her hand, and then looked at Luo Zhiqing with burning eyes: "Life and death, success or failure, depends on this fishing net."
Thinking of the horror of a whale explosion, Shu Ling's tone inevitably sounded heavy when he said this.
"Why are you so heavy-hearted? Since Yi Yi needs it, I will do my best to make it!"
Luo Zhiqing put away the blue silk and hugged Shu Lingyi with her backhand: "I know you always think about everyone and the territory, so I will definitely support Yi Yi."
"I support Yi Yi in everything he does, so please believe in me, I'm awesome!"
Most of Luo Zhiqing's hair has now returned to its dark black color, with only the ends of her hair retaining the color that Lan Xing dyed her hair with.
Her consolation was so gentle that Shu Ling was completely softened.
"Haha, I knew Qingqing was super nice, so I wasn't too worried. With a European emperor like you by my side, I think we'll be fine!"
The two of them hugged each other, drawing strength from each other. They had been in this game for too long, and gradually too many people became numb in this kind of life.
It seems that everyone no longer longs for returning to Blue Star. They are all trying hard to take root in this game, and just want to do their best to live a better life in the game.
So will this game ever be truly complete?
No one is sure, and no one can guarantee that they will live to that time.
The two sat quietly for a while, and then separated. Shu Ling called Zhong Qingwei and told him to go to the coast to look for the whereabouts of the whale.
Of course, there are still many players who are willing to follow along. After all, everyone still has a glimmer of hope, hoping that yesterday’s anomaly was only temporary and special.
Going to the bottom of the sea today will restore normalcy and allow us to return to our previous life of crazy stockpiling of supplies.
【One Two Three Seven Seven Seven】: "But I think it's risky. The system can't be that crazy, right?"
[Yue Shengliang who loves sweet-scented osmanthus fish]: "The system has never been normal, it has always been crazy."
【十三夷】: "Let's go, let's go and take a look, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
【十三夷】: "I feel really uncomfortable if I don't mine for a day."
[Bian Nuannuan]: "What if there's still nothing in the sea today, or there's nothing in the next solar term?"
【Thirteen Barbarians】: "What can we do? Anyway, the remaining food in the warehouse will not make us starve to death. It should be enough to support us for the next ten days, right?"
[Silo]: "That's no problem, and we can grow staple food on the farmland in a few days, so we won't starve to death."
[Cloud Pattern]: "That's true, but if the stored food is not enough and the difficulty of winter planting doubles, it will be dangerous."
Originally, thanks to everyone's efforts, the entire game area had a large area of farmland available for planting. If they worked hard for one solar term, they could save at least enough food for everyone to barely survive for one solar term.
Of course, in such extreme circumstances, one can only get the most basic staple food to sustain life, and there will be no more than that.
The Beginning of Autumn is really a very good solar term. The staple food stored at that time can be barely enough to last until the next solar term even if there is almost no planting during the Cold Dew.
[Cang Sheng Taegeuk]: "It's really unbearable."
Soon, many players dived deep into the sea as usual. Shu Lingyi randomly found a task for himself: "I'll go to the sea and look along the coast. Maybe there will be some information on the sea shrouded in fog."
Although this reason is not very tenable, no one will think too much about the details at this moment.
Only Zhong Qingwei smelled a hint of something unusual, but he didn't say anything and just quietly accompanied Shu Ling.
In just half an hour, the public screen will become lively again, and these players who go to sea will tell everyone that there are still no supplies in the sea.
Shu Ling was wandering around on the sea, and finally, he saw a huge creature far away on the coast in the east!
Seeing that huge figure, whose outline could be seen even through the fog, Shu Lingyi couldn't help but tremble with fear.
"Comrade Yi Yi, what is that?"
Zhong Qingwei naturally also saw the huge black shadow lying on the edge of the coast, which was comparable to a mountain. From this perspective, it was quite eye-catching.
"We'll find out if we go and take a look." Then he drove the submarine towards the coast.
The closer he got, the more terrifying and pressured he felt, and the clearer he could see. Shu Lingyi then realized that there was only one whale here!
This means there is a dead whale on one coast and a group of stranded whales on another!
Shu Ling glanced at the time and it was almost ten o'clock.
"It looks like a whale..." Zhong Qingwei could see it clearly now. The image transmitted through the periscope only allowed them to see the tail of the whale.
It looks exactly like the whale in my impression, but its size has increased several times. It is stranded on the shore like a mountain. Its skin is dark but has no luster, and you can even vaguely see that the skin is tight and swollen.
Shu Lingyi spoke first: "This is a dead whale, right? We have been coming here for quite a while, and it hasn't moved at all."
Zhong Qingwei's expression also became very serious at this moment: "It would be difficult to deal with a dead whale."
Not only did Zhong Qingwei know about the whale explosion, he had even dealt with it together with Lu Yizheng.
Before many whales explode, they are simply buried in pits dug on site. If they are really huge, they can only be exploded in advance.
After the explosion, the blood mist, carrying the viruses and bacteria in its body, spread instantly, and various pieces of flesh and organs flew everywhere, some of which could even directly knock down a tree.
At the same time, the stench from the explosion will linger for years, and the entire area will be affected.
So if we put it in the game and look at its size, once it explodes - the consequences will be disastrous.
As we got closer, we were close enough to check the survival atlas.
Zhong Qing did not check the details immediately, and read them word by word to Shu Ling.
"The ninth-level demon beast Xuantian Whale died of an illness caused by old age..."
These are the two most critical ones.
"The level is so high! That's it! If the whale explodes, all the viruses and bacteria in the body will spread out. That will be a poison trio!"
Shu Ling was mentally prepared, but he was still shocked when he learned the specific information.
[Please remember to maintain the health of the shield. Otherwise, if the shield is less than two-thirds of its health, it will be destroyed immediately. ]
[If two whales explode at the same time, ugh, unless I upgrade the shield twice, it will be useless even if I have full HP.]
If the protective shield is destroyed, the poisonous gases brought by the whale explosion will combine with the poisonous fog and miasma, which will truly become a poisonous gas trio.
No wonder it’s hell on earth.
"We can only dig a hole and bury it on the spot, otherwise it will explode accidentally and it will be over."
Zhong Qingwei frowned: "We need to organize players to help us act together. It's too big. We need to dig a pit that can bury it——"
Shu Lingyi knew very well that there might not be enough time to dig such a hole.
She had thought about the feasibility before: "But it's too big. If I want to bury it intact, I'm afraid it will take two or three days to dig it out."
"Then we must detonate it first?" Zhong Qingwei also found it extremely tricky, as detonation also required specific tools.
The explosion will completely decompose the whale's body and also remove viruses and bacteria from the air.
The only thing left is the fishy smell which is difficult to deal with - where can one find such a bomb nowadays? !
The detonation would also cause too much damage. Shu Lingyi knew very well that the result of the detonation would not be very good, for example, the protective shield would suffer a major disaster.
Next, at noon, poisonous miasma + poisonous fog will attack from the front and back, and the remaining blood will not last long.
Secondly, if the whale does not return to the embrace of the ocean and die, supplies will not be refreshed, and it will become difficult for her to raise gold coins.
You should know that the amount of gold coins consumed to repair the shield to full health is not a small number. All players in the entire territory have to contribute 200,000 or 300,000 gold coins to fill up the health bar in one go.
"We need to pull this whale back to the bottom of the sea."
"?"
Zhong Qingwei turned his head suddenly, with surprise, shock, and disbelief clearly visible on his face.
For a moment, Shu Lingyi felt that his expression seemed to be saying: My friend, are you crazy?
Shu Lingyi gave him a reassuring look and then contacted Luo Zhiqing to ask about the progress of the fishing net.
【Qing Ben Zhiruo】: "It will probably take another hour."
After getting the exact information, Shu Lingyi told Zhong Qingwei about the special material in Luo Zhiqing's hands.
"Believe me, this fishing net should be able to help us deal with this Xuantian whale."
"But can a fishing net really catch such a big creature?"
Shu Lingyi wasn't particularly confident about this matter, but he could only try.
But before he could say it on the public screen, someone accidentally discovered the school of whales that Shu Lingyi was going to look for.
[Lin Lanlan]: "I originally just wanted to come up and take a look. There are a lot of reefs in this area, but I found a group of black things on the coast. I don't know what they are."
[Cang Sheng Taegeuk]: "It just so happens that our two submarines are not far away, so let's go take a look together."
[Lin Lanlan]: "Only when I looked closer did I realize it was a group of whales!"
[Yan Xingchen]: "They are all level eight monsters. Only one is larger in size. The others seem to be in their infancy."
[Shisanyi]: "A stranded whale, I've never seen one before. Tell me where it is!"
So the players who found nothing on the seabed rushed to the southeast corner.
Shu Lingyi suddenly felt that the other Xuantian Whale might be in the northwest - which was the closest to the other territory.
The game is sometimes fair, and the two territories face similar difficulties.
This way, one explosion won't directly cause another to explode, but the simultaneous explosions will simply turn the play area upside down.
[When two people move in tandem, the damage value is fixed. However, if they move together, they can inflict more damage than two people. ]
Shu Ling narrowed his eyes. What Xiao Ai meant was that a close explosion would cause damage to the shield that would wipe out two-thirds of its health, and only another simultaneous explosion would destroy the entire shield.
Otherwise, if the opponent's shield explodes first, it may only deduct one third of the health of your own shield.
Does this mean that different territories have their own defenses against others?
[Yi Ling]: "Everyone, go over and help the stranded whale return to the ocean."
[Very Far Away]: "Why put it back into the sea? Wouldn't it be better to just kill it?"
Shinji: "Yes, this is a level 8 whale. It must drop a lot of materials if we kill it. There are no more supplies in the sea, so we can get some meat from the drops of these whales!"
[Very Far Away]: "Brother Shinji still understands me. These whales are so big, they must drop a lot of meat, enough to last us through this season."
