[Ding-dong, dear players!]
After a day, I'm sure everyone has gotten used to the temperature here.
Now we're going to increase the difficulty a bit!
After 5 p.m., the temperature will drop to -30°C and heavy snowfall will continue for three hours, with the wind force adjusted to level 5-6.
The gas station's operating time has been adjusted to twelve hours, and players are prohibited from attacking each other within the gas station. Killing another player in violation of this rule will result in a deduction of 1000 points.
[Note: It will start snowing in an hour, so players need to find a gas station as soon as possible!]
"-30℃? I don't really have a concept of that. Can someone explain how cold that is?"
"Water freezes instantly when splashed, making it unsuitable for prolonged outdoor exposure. Frostbite is a minor issue compared to freezing to death."
"Holy crap, this is terrifying! I need to find a gas station right away!"
"Go ahead and look, but you'll find one who won't say a word."
"Damn it, why are points being deducted..."
"If you had stopped attacking other gas station attendants, you wouldn't have lost points, right?"
"I see, gas stations must be places like safe zones."
"You can't say that. What if someone would rather lose points than not kill you?"
...
Gu Mian scratched her cheek, looking somewhat worried: "We've been wandering around here for hours and haven't found another gas station. It's going to snow in an hour, will we even be able to find one?"
Zhou Ye unscrewed his thermos and took a sip of hot coffee to moisten his throat: "I guess it's unlikely. I'll ask my other friends if they've found a gas station."
Yell at him!
Gu Mian suddenly realized that she could ask other people!
How could she forget this option!
When Jiang Bai received Gu Mian's private message, he was having hot pot with Xu Kun and the others. The tender rabbit meat was cooked in the red broth for a few minutes before it was ready to eat.
It's fresh and tender, with a very good taste.
He was somewhat angry when he saw the private message.
In the past two days, he sent countless messages, but they all disappeared without a trace, and he didn't receive a single reply.
If Gu Mian's profile picture hadn't remained black, he would have thought something had happened to her!
As it turns out, nothing actually happened; it was simply a case of read but no reply!
Jiang Bai stared at the chat box, holding his breath. He was about to ignore it, but before he could finish, he heard Xu Kun say with a grin, "Hey, my little sister texted me, asking if I've found a gas station yet."
Jiang Bai snapped out of his daze and immediately dropped all pretense, using the team-up card to invite the people over.
Just after I made the invitation, I heard Gu Xiaobei's voice: "My sister also messaged me! Should I invite her over for hot pot?"
hateful!
Her private messages were actually sent to a group!
Before he could even get angry for three seconds, he saw Gu Mian gracefully teleport over, wearing a white cloak.
It's so cute and fluffy!
I really want to touch it...
Jiang Bai pursed his lips tightly, desperately suppressing his restless heart.
"Gu..."
Just as he opened his mouth to say hello, he saw that there was suddenly another person next to Gu Mian.
With his stern eyes and tall stature, it was Zhou Ye!
Jiang Bai's face darkened inch by inch. "Have you been spending the last two days with him?"
His words were laced with jealousy.
"Huh?" Gu Mian took off her cloak and plopped down next to Xu Kun. "Not really, we met on the road and then walked together."
Hearing Gu Mian's denial, Jiang Bai's expression softened slightly. He pursed his lips and asked casually, "Haven't you checked your private messages these past two days?"
"Mmm." Gu Mian asked Xu Kun for a new pair of chopsticks and started eating without any hesitation: "Too many private messages, too lazy to read them."
Jiang Bai opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Xu Kun interrupted him: "Old Bai, why are you talking so much? Can't you let your little sister eat first? If you have any questions, you can ask them after you finish eating."
Jiang Bai took a deep breath and remained silent.
"These meatballs are really good." She was also a little hungry, and she kept eating them one after another without stopping.
After eating several meatballs, Gu Mian finally remembered Zhou Ye. She turned around and saw that he was indeed still standing behind her.
She asked, puzzled, "Come and eat with us? Aren't you hungry?"
"Coming right away." Zhou Ye smiled faintly, glancing at Jiang Bai before sitting down next to Gu Mian.
As he sat down, he took out 20 pieces of charcoal from his backpack and placed them aside: "Then I'll shamelessly freeload a meal."
You're really shameless!
Jiang Bai's lips twitched a few times, but he swallowed those words back.
Having eaten and drunk her fill, Gu Mian slumped contentedly in her chair: "Now who can tell whether I'm fighting for survival or on vacation?"
Xu Kun chuckled: "It could also be a vacation within a survival game."
The wind howled outside the door. Jiang Bai silently stuffed a few pieces of charcoal into the fireplace: "Looks like a lot of people are going to die tonight."
Gu Mian was taken aback and sat up straight: "Many people can't find gas stations?"
Jiang Bai hummed in agreement: "Only a very small number of people have been found." He paused and continued, "I posted this location in the chat channel."
"We shouldn't freeze to death, right?" Gu Mian was taken aback. "Even if we can't find a gas station, we can just make a few more campfires in the tent and wear thicker clothes, right?"
"In theory, it should work." Xu Kun pondered for a moment, "but there are always some special circumstances."
He didn't say what the special circumstances were.
Gu Mian remained silent for a while, then opened the chat channel.
"Thank you so much, sir! May you live a long and peaceful life! This place happens to be not far from me, and if all goes well, I can get there in ten minutes!"
"The wind is so strong! I was being blown all over the place. If my teammate hadn't been holding my arm, I would have been blown away!"
"I desperately need a temperature-controlled suit! I'm freezing solid!"
"Waaaaah, what am I going to do if my tongue and popsicle are frozen?"
"No... dude... you? Eating an ice pop in this cold weather? What were you thinking?"
"I wasn't thinking about anything! I just had a craving!"
"Give up on treatment! Even if you were cured, you'd still be drooling."
...
So that's the special circumstance...
Gu Mian turned off the light screen with a complicated expression. "By the way," she said, looking at Zhou Ye, "the team card is probably about to expire. Should we keep using the team card to teleport here, or just make a few more campfires in the tent and make do?"
"Of course we came here!" Xu Kun slammed his hand on the table. "How could you two possibly spend the night together?! It's not appropriate for a lone man and woman to be alone together!"
Gu Mian: "..."
Before you say that, have you forgotten what happened when we teamed up?
“Yes, that’s right, it’s not appropriate.” Jiang Bai nodded in agreement.
Gu Xiaobei looked at this one, then at that one, and spread her hands to indicate, "I'm fine with either."
"Heh." Zhou Ye chuckled. "Let's stay here. There's a fireplace here; it's definitely more comfortable than sleeping in a tent."
We need to teleport every two hours, so it might be a bit tough at night.
