22 Iceberg Snowfield-Day 8
◎Hail Monster◎
Day 7 of the game. There was plenty of charcoal and food, and the day passed safely.
On the 8th day of the game, the temperature dropped to -25 degrees Celsius, and the snow on the road was up to my calves.
As usual, Yan Lan traded supplies in the morning and drove around to search for treasure chests in the afternoon.
To prevent snow blindness, she wore sunglasses and installed snow chains on the RV's tires. The chains were heavy, and the tires made a squeaking sound as they drove on the snow. But to upgrade quickly, she had no choice but to drive carefully.
Just as she found a treasure chest and was about to get out of the car to pick it up, a message came as a reminder.
For some unknown reason, she clicked on the message, which was from Ji Zhou.
"There will be danger soon. Remember to stay in the car, close the doors and windows, gather your supplies, and be ready for action at any time!"
Yan Lan, who was about to open the door, paused, her heart skipping a beat.
Danger? There will be danger later!
After spending some time with him, I know that he is a steady and reliable person who would never joke about such things.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Yan Lan immediately forwarded the message to the chat group, and at the same time moved the flower pots and water collectors on the balcony into the room and closed the doors and windows.
Although she had a great reputation in the H-38 area, there was no evidence to support this story, and many people did not believe it at first.
"Boss, you must be mistaken, everything looks fine outside~"
"Yeah, it's just snowing quietly outside, nothing unusual."
"Do you have any evidence? If you show them, maybe people will believe you."
Yan Lan: "I'm sorry, I don't have any evidence, but the source of this information is indeed guaranteed. Please believe me."
"What a joke, you believe it just because you say so, you think everyone else is a fool!"
Jiang Tiantian jumped in at the perfect moment: "That's right, don't be alarmist and disturb everyone. We have very few supplies, so we have to get out of the car and look through the treasure chests. Unlike you, you can just lie back and have supplies delivered to your door."
She was lying quietly at first, but when she heard the special message reminder of "Quack, Quack, Quack", she suddenly sat up, couldn't wait to open the game panel, and after reading the speech, she danced with excitement.
Haha, but she found fault with me!
She was just thinking about how to make the war more intense when Chen Shengsheng, the man with the bowl-cut hair, sent a message.
This guy is so annoying. He always disturbs her at critical moments.
Chen Shengsheng has been following Jiang Tiantian's updates. He always feels that Tiantian and Yan Lan have an incredible tacit understanding. Every time Yan Lan posts an update, she jumps out immediately.
He was still confused, so he sent a private message to Tiantian: "Tiantian, did you use the prop card I gave you last time? Who did you set as your special attention?"
Jiang Tiantian replied quickly: "Yes, of course it's you~"
Chen Shengsheng felt warm in his heart, but thinking of the tacit understanding between the two, he was still a little unsure: "Are you sure you didn't choose the wrong person? Did you accidentally choose Yan Lan?"
Jiang Tiantian said confidently, "How is that possible! You know that she's the one I hate the most, so why would I set her as a special focus?"
She continued to comfort him: "Don't worry, I set it up for you, but you never talk or post updates, so I can't see your messages."
Chen Shengsheng thought to himself that this was indeed the case. He seldom spoke in the group and had never posted anything in the world channel, so it was normal that Tiantian couldn't see it.
He felt ashamed of his doubts, so he apologized: "I'm sorry, Tiantian, I just care about you too much."
Jiang Tiantian: "It's okay, we are still separated. By the way, Brother Shengsheng, did you get any durian? I don't know why, but I've been craving durian lately. When I think of durian, it reminds me of the days when I lived with my mom. Oh, thinking of my mom makes me cry."
Chen Shengsheng said distressedly, "Tiantian, don't be sad. I'll go make some supplies right away. I'm sure I can help you buy a whole house of durian flesh."
"Well, thank you, Brother Shengsheng. If possible, please give me a few more rooms. I'm afraid one room won't be enough."
"Don't worry."
In his heart, Chen Shengsheng already treated Jiang Tiantian as his girlfriend. If his girlfriend wanted to eat something, he would get it for her no matter what.
Jiang Tiantian quickly dealt with Chen Shengsheng and returned to the group to continue fighting. Unexpectedly, the wind direction reversed. The handsome young man Shi Yuanyuan that she liked actually jumped out to help Yan Lan. It was so infuriating!
She asked why she could never flirt with him, and it turned out that she had been hooking up with Yan Lan for a long time.
Why? She thinks she is as pretty as Yan Lan and has a good temper. In real life, all the boys around her like her.
Her chest heaved with anger, her heart raging with rage. She forgot Yan Lan's warning and casually opened the car window.
At this moment, danger broke out instantly.
There was a loud crash from the sky, and hailstones began to fall. The hailstones were as hard as pebbles and hit the car like bullets, with a shocking crackling and crashing sound.
Among the numerous ice crystals, some ferocious little monsters were searching for their targets. They would crash into cars and bite people.
Jiang Tiantian was bitten unexpectedly and screamed "Ah" and started to panic.
[Ding, we are facing a hail attack. Players, please start fighting! ]
Yan Lan had already taken her weapon and was looking around nervously.
The car's roof umbrella, opened in advance to protect the car from hail, didn't last long before a ripping sound of fabric was heard. Without the umbrella's protection, the hail slammed into the roof and windows, leaving pits and dents on the roof and cracks slowly appearing on the glass.
In addition, there are hail monsters mixed in. They make strange noises like naughty children and deliberately hit the car body.
The RV was hit and swayed from side to side. Yan Lan stood inside, struggling to steady herself, watching as a dent was made on the wall of the car in front of her.
Listening to the clamoring sounds outside, her face grew increasingly gloomy. She knew she couldn't go on like this.
"Snowball, you are in charge of the front, and I am in charge of the back." Yan Lan ordered coldly.
“Chirp!”
Snowball received the command and immediately rushed forward with his claws open. He opened a car window and attacked the hail monsters outside.
Just then, a hail monster tried to squeeze in through the car window, and Snowball stretched out his foot and kicked it hard.
With a scream of "Ah", the hail monster was kicked to the ground, its body split apart and turned into a stream of snow and water and dissipated.
Yan Lan had guessed its strength long ago, and seeing that it dealt with its moves one by one with great ease, she returned to the balcony with peace of mind.
There is a glass door between the balcony and the interior. The area here is large, and the number of monsters gathered here is also the largest.
She raised the Frost Moon Bow, half-pushed the glass door, and began a desperate counterattack.
Skill 1 is used, and the monsters crowded together are all stunned. Then he picks up a bow and arrow and shoots it out like lightning. Skill 2 penetrates, and the monsters in groups are blown up and shattered into tiny ice chips.
[Kill the Hail Monster +1, gain a balance +10. ]
[Kill Hail Monsters +10, Gain Balance +100. ]
Since there is a balance to be taken, it is even more impossible to be soft-hearted.
The first wave of hail monsters was shot out of the balcony. Yan Lan took a step forward and stood at the junction of the balcony and the room, holding on tightly.
She stood steady, composed, bow in hand, arrow pointed. She stared at the battle ahead, ready to release the fully drawn bowstring the moment a small monster approached.
The arrow cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and accurately shot into the monster's body. Even though the arrow behind her did not have any skill attributes, she still guarded the position tightly.
The scene was very intense. After one wave of hail monsters was shot and killed, another wave followed. They were like bloodthirsty monsters and would not stop until they saw the blood and flesh of the enemy.
Yan Lan threw herself into the battle and held on for nearly two hours, not giving the monsters any chance to take advantage.
After she had shot all her arrows, she used a shovel and a wooden stick to prevent the hail monsters from getting close.
But gradually, she began to feel a little weak, and her arms began to feel sore and swollen.
Even with her enhanced physical fitness, it was probably even worse for ordinary players. Just as she was considering whether to retreat indoors, the hail stopped abruptly and the monsters flew back into the air.
The hailstorm ended.
Yan Lan waited there for a while, only to see snowflakes falling and everything being quiet, like a silent movie.
She breathed a sigh of relief and returned to sit on the sofa inside.
"Snowball, you're so awesome!"
“Chirp~”
Snowball jumped up happily when he was praised. Seeing Yan Lan rubbing her arm with a grimace, he considerately found a towel, dipped it in warm water and gave her a hot compress.
Yan Lan took the hot towel and said with a smile, "How thoughtful! I'll make you something delicious later."
"Chirp~" It shook its head vigorously for the first time.
Snowball made a great contribution this time. If it hadn't helped guard the front, the car window would have been shattered long ago.
Killing hail monsters can earn her a balance, but killing snowball monsters does not count towards her. Yan Lan took a look and saw that her personal balance increased from 50,000 to 60,000, which was considered a small gain.
They defended themselves well and the car body only suffered minor damage, but others were not so lucky.
"What should I do? There's a huge hole in my window glass, and the cold wind is blowing. I feel like I'm going to freeze."
"Me too, but I used a piece of cloth to block it, which was enough to protect me."
"Holy crap! Are they made of steel? Even a tough off-road vehicle could make a hole in it!"
"You're lucky! My tire is flat. Does anyone have tools to fix it? Urgent! Very urgent!"
"Damn it! A hail monster got into my car and took all my food! Damn it! What am I going to eat next?"
"I'm fine. I listened to Boss Yan's advice and packed all the important supplies into my backpack. Aside from the air leak in the car, there's no major damage."
"Thanks to Yan Lan's reminder, otherwise we would be completely unprepared!"
"Yeah, you're worthy of being a big boss."
Among the many complaints, Jiang Tiantian's words stood out: "I got a bite on my hand and it's bleeding. Does anyone have any hemostatic or painkiller?"
Yan Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw it. If he didn't take her kind reminder seriously, he would suffer the consequences.
After being bitten, Jiang Tiantian retreated into the car and quickly closed the window. Facing the constant attacks of the hail monster, she was extremely scared and could only cower in the car without daring to move.
After waiting for 2 hours in fear, the monsters finally dispersed, but the off-road vehicle was smashed to pieces, and even the tires were broken into pieces.
What was even more dangerous was the wound on her hand. She wrapped it with several strips of cloth, but the bleeding still wouldn't stop. Her body was negatively affected and she needed hemostatic medicine.
Jin Dabang asked her to go through the procedures at the critical moment. Damn, going through the procedures when she is about to die, how pedantic!
Chen Shengsheng is also a tuberculosis patient. She doesn't dare to communicate with others on weekdays. She doesn't dare to speak out even when she is about to die!
Damn it, meeting these useless men.
She had no choice but to ask for help from others in the group and forum.
