Chapter 4 Danger in the Box
The moment this message was released, the players went wild.
Player 018754: "I've already left the spawn point, and you're only telling me now?!"
The pig flying in the sky: "Huh? Why didn't they say this at the beginning of the game? We just missed out on such an important newbie gift box?"
Shin-chan: "Oh my god, can I go back now? What's in the newbie gift box?"
Li Dong: "Chen Leying, why are you only releasing such important news now?"
Changshan Zhao Zilong: "Yeah, why are you only saying this now? You're going to get us all killed! We've already left the spawn point, and we can't go back on the highway, so how are we supposed to get the newbie gift box? You're deliberately only saying this now, aren't you?"
Chen Leying: "No, I just found out, and I shared it with everyone as soon as I found out. I didn't do it on purpose!"
Player 098742: "Hehe, I think you deliberately released it now. You must be very happy that we missed the newbie gift box, right? How can there be such a dark person like you?"
Internet heartthrob: "Chen Leying, go to hell! Go to hell! It's all your fault, you damn bitch!"
Players vented their anger at missing out on the newbie gift box and their panic at being inexplicably pulled into the survival game on Chen Leying, with all sorts of insults filling the chat area.
Of course, a very small number of players spoke up for Chen Leying, but they were quickly overwhelmed by insults.
Looking at the chaotic chat area, Meng Qingyin frowned.
She secretly reminded herself that this was no longer the society governed by the rule of law, and that the darker aspects of human nature were beginning to emerge.
Only by hardening your heart can you survive.
And Chen Leying is the best example of the consequences of being soft-hearted.
...
At that moment, a charming woman with exquisite makeup sat on a blue tricycle. Looking at the indiscriminate insults in the chat area, she curled her lips into a sarcastic smile: "Idiots."
Indeed, no matter what, the thing you can least trust is so-called human nature.
Looking at those people's ugly faces, it's not surprising at all.
But it doesn't matter, since she reminded those idiots not because she had a sudden pang of conscience.
Her conscience has long been fed to the dogs.
It's simply a matter of each getting what they need.
She provided a way for those idiots to vent, and she received some "rewards" in return.
How can it not be a win-win situation?
...
Meng Qingyin's eyes hurt from looking at the chat area. Just as she was about to close it, she spotted a message with sharp eyes.
Zhao Lan: "Everyone must be careful when opening the supply crates, there might be danger inside!"
However, the insults from other players quickly pushed the message past, and not many people noticed it.
Meng Qingyin immediately scrolled back and found the message.
Are the supply crates dangerous?
What kind of danger could it be?
Meng Qingyin opened Zhao Lan's message.
Name: Zhao Lan
Number: 029251
Physical condition: 3
Strength: 3
Agility: 3
Comfort level: Normal
This person has higher attributes than her! But that's not the point.
Meng Qingyin initiated a private chat.
Meng Qingyin: "Hello, I just saw you say there might be danger in the supply boxes. What kind of danger is it?"
Zhao Lan immediately sent a voice message: "You might get an aggressive animal! There was a poisonous snake in the supply crate I just opened!"
If it weren't for her good physical condition as a soldier and her faster reaction time than ordinary people, she might have actually been bitten by a venomous snake just now.
That's a cobra! If you get bitten by one, you'll definitely die a horrible death!
Thinking it over, Zhao Lan added, "You must be careful when you open the box! Of course, I haven't seen anyone else mention this situation, which means it's not 100% dangerous."
As if afraid Meng Qingyin wouldn't believe her, she even sent a picture of a snake with its head smashed to pieces, with mottled bloodstains on the nearby sand.
It was clear that Zhao Lan and the cobra had just gone through a fierce battle.
Meng Qingyin understood.
She opened the camouflage bag, rummaged through it, found a bag of compressed biscuits, and traded it to Zhao Lan.
Meng Qingyin: "Your information was very useful to me. Here's a bag of compressed biscuits for you as a thank you gift."
She didn't want to have any social obligations with others, as that would be troublesome.
Zhao Lan sent her a message, and she gave Zhao Lan compressed biscuits. That was the end of the "deal" to avoid any misunderstandings later.
Of course, she wasn't curious about Zhao Lan's "selfless" act of sharing the information with others.
Everyone has their own way of handling things; whether it's kindness or indifference is irrelevant to her.
Zhao Lan sent a message: "Huh? I didn't want your things. We're all Chinese, we should unite and help each other, and share information at this time..."
However, her message seemed to sink without a trace, and she never received a reply.
Zhao Lan didn't bother Meng Qingyin anymore, but continued to refresh the world channel, thinking that even saving one more person would be good.
And she wasn't alone; at least, there was another player named Chen Leying who was also selflessly sharing information.
As a soldier, the duty to protect the people is ingrained in her bones. Even in this game, where she no longer wears the uniform that symbolizes responsibility, but...
In her heart, she is still a soldier.
The duty of soldiers is always to protect the people.
Perhaps Chen Leying, like her, was also a soldier.
...
Upon receiving this news, Meng Qingyin dared not open the box casually.
She remembered that she had a lot of tools in her camouflage bag, so she immediately bent down and started rummaging through them.
She quickly found the stun gun.
The stun gun feels like a baseball bat in your hand; it has some weight but isn't too heavy.
The length is also adjustable. Meng Qingyin directly adjusted the length to the maximum, and it was about half a meter long when she held it in her hand.
According to the owner, the maximum current of this stun gun can even stun a cow in one second!
That's enough.
She was about 1 meter away from the box when she stretched out her stun gun and pried open the supply box.
Several seconds passed, but no cobra suddenly sprang out from inside.
Meng Qingyin tapped the edge of the supply box with the stun gun, making a thumping sound, but there was still no response.
She then slowly approached the supply box and saw several items of supplies lying quietly inside.
[Plastic x2: An important material for upgrading vehicles, and can also be used to craft other plastic products. Already stored in the system inventory by default.]
[2 Sheet Metal: An important material for upgrading vehicles, and can also be used to craft other iron products. Already stored in the system inventory by default.]
Not bad, I got materials to upgrade my vehicle from the first supply crate.
but……
There's also a system inventory?
Why didn't she see it just now?
Meng Qingyin glanced at the screen again and noticed a new backpack icon in the lower right corner.
But when she looked just now, this symbol wasn't there.
Perhaps it will only be triggered after opening the supply crate.
The backpack has five initial slots, and two are currently occupied.
Meng Qingyin tried putting her camouflage bag inside; it was quite heavy to carry like this for a long time.
[No nesting dolls allowed! Please empty your bag before storing!]
Meng Qingyin: "..."
Then she should carry it on her back.
