Chapter 113 Desert Survival Day 13 (1) The Doomsday System is Really...
Wake up feeling refreshed.
Yu Miaomiao stretched. The sleeping position she found when she woke up today was very strange. She hugged her knees with her hands and curled up into a ball, almost like a sleeping cat.
The fire in the fireplace inside the house was only slightly lit. Stepping onto the brick foundation, she felt a chill emanate from the soles of her feet. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and checked the time: [Desert Survival Day 13 06:07].
There are still 8 minutes until dawn. Yu Miaomiao is ready to go out as soon as it gets light. Now it is still dark outside. She immediately enters the aura of turtle breathing again to avoid attracting other monsters.
Time passes by every second.
"Bang."
"Bang."
Not far from the window, a small automatic turret on a wooden roof was hit twice in succession.
Are there monsters coming??
She found that whenever she was particularly nervous, it was difficult for her to quickly enter the normal breathing required by the tortoise breathing technique. Like the last time she encountered a snake during her adventure, she was able to do it only by stimulating her primitive instincts.
There were still five minutes until daybreak. She could already see a black mass of three wolves outside the window. She was confident that her house could withstand their attack for five minutes. With the help of the automatic turret, she would be able to survive until sunrise.
Yu Miaomiao must now make good use of this opportunity so that she can enter the state of tortoise breathing as quickly as possible.
Squat down with your feet on the ground (bed), keep your buttocks close to your ankles and relax your knees, and hold your toes with both hands. This is a posture she just saw, inhale - inhale - inhale.
"Relax, it's nothing. It's just a group of wolves with three heads. They're just wolves that have been killed several times."
"A pack of wolves whose weak points are their buttocks. Even if you want to kill them completely, you can only go around and kill them from behind. There are so many of them facing you, so there is definitely no weakness for you to kill them."
"Even if I go out now, it will be useless. The two automatic small turrets have already finished firing, and I have to wait for dozens of seconds."
"Well, the first glowing wolf has already gnawed at the window in front of us. It's okay, it can't break it."
Yu Miaomiao stared out the window, preparing herself mentally. Ten seconds later, the wolves outside the door gradually stopped moving their mouths and scratching with their claws. They stood there in a daze, and began to sniff around the cabin.
Okay, she tried another position.
Squatting was a bit tiring, so she simply stood up, put one hand on her waist, pointed the other finger forward, and stood with her feet shoulder-width apart.
Following her changes, the wolves that had been quiet became agitated again. They raised their butts and ran towards her wooden house, with "bang bang" sounds coming one after another.
"I don't know what the glass in front of me is made of, but it's very solid. This is the third wolf that has pounced on me, and they're all bleeding, but there's still no crack. I'm safe, yes."
Continue to prepare yourself mentally and adjust your breathing state.
12 seconds later, a wolf rushed towards the glass, jumped up, and immediately lay down on the window, sniffing aimlessly at the window.
Dawn was already breaking on the horizon, and the glowing wolves had consciously begun to retreat, leaving only the ordinary three wolves still wandering around.
This is the last time.
Yu Miaomiao sat cross-legged on the bed, her hands in the shape of orchid fingers, breathing evenly and looking forward.
As the first ray of dawn shone on the earth, the wolves that were still fighting hard scattered, either because their perception was weakened by the tortoise breathing technique or because they were afraid of the sun, and fled in the direction where the glowing three-headed wolf had gone away.
With the appearance of sunlight, the sky, which was originally turning blue in the direction of the same skyline, was gradually replaced by a light yellow-brown color. The distant horizon began to become blurred, and sand and dust formed a gauze-like curtain in the air. This scene foreshadowed the arrival of a sandstorm.
How could a sandstorm appear just after dawn?
Before the sandstorm arrived, Yu Miaomiao hurried out of the house and used a sandstorm predictor to estimate the duration of the sandstorm.
"Within 5 kilometers, the next sandstorm will arrive in 1 minute and 8 seconds and is expected to last 5 hours and 15 minutes."
Yu Miaomiao: ???
5 hours? A sandstorm lasted 5 hours?
She only has 1 minute to prepare. What does this system want to do?
Disrupting her original plan was secondary. Based on yesterday's experience, the destructive power of the sandstorm that had lasted for so long should be very strong. Was it to make her miserable, or to kill her?
With such a short time, she had no time to put on any stabilizing equipment, so she could only improve her cabin as much as possible.
She selected 'Synthesis' behind 'Brick Wall' under the system synthesis guide. Without worrying about the working condition of the construction hammer, she put all the wolf corpses she could collect into her backpack on the way back to the house. Finally, she retracted the automatic small turret on the roof, closed the door, and tied the lock of the fixed rope to the load-bearing wall connected to the brick foundation inside the wooden house.
Yu Miaomiao stood in front of the window, looking at the sandstorm that seemed to be swallowing up the world, and felt very nervous.
It’s not enough. Just fixing it is far from enough. Although part of the wooden house was destroyed yesterday because one-third of the foundation had not been replaced with bricks, she replaced the rest of the foundation with bricks when repairing the wooden house. However, the scene of the wooden house being destroyed by the sandstorm yesterday is still vivid in her mind. She is not sure whether the wooden house wall can withstand the wind and sand, but the brick wall can definitely do it.
If only the wall behind her was safe, she would have somewhere to hide.
She had searched for relevant information in the world, but no one had ever said that their house had been destroyed by a sandstorm, let alone that a sandstorm near someone had lasted for five hours. Only she, who was lucky, had repeatedly encountered rare apocalyptic situations.
After the verification of the strongest sandstorm, the brick foundation should be the house facility that can completely withstand sandstorms at this stage. She did not have time to install stabilizers outside the house, so she could install the stabilizing device on the brick foundation inside the house.
There was a small hole in the house yesterday, which allowed the wind to come in. With a hurricane, she might not be able to stand steadily.
But as long as there is a solid foundation and strong walls, the house should not be destroyed. In addition, with the double-protection stabilization device, she will not be blown around, and can even stand in place as steady as a rock and continue to work.
He took out the stabilizing device, put it on quickly, fastened the metal straps on his legs and waist, and just as he turned the button on the bracket, he saw countless gravel starting to hit the window. The whole house began to shake violently, and the whistling sound of the wind came from the cracks in the door and windows, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Yu Miaomiao put aside all distractions and continued to concentrate on operating the stabilizing device. After tightening each fixed rotating disk and latch button on the bracket, she tried to move her legs. Only when she was sure that her lower body was firmly fixed on the floor tiles did she feel at ease to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the sky outside was almost dark. The construction hammer that had been working outside the house had returned to her backpack. The wall behind her had turned into bricks, which looked very solid. Now she felt that a big house was also a problem, and the reinforcement materials needed in the future would only increase.
The wind was howling, and she continued to make the filter box. When the filter box was used up, she needed to refill it, which she placed inside the house to filter slowly.
Since she had no chance to see the sun all morning, it seemed that she could only go out into the world to collect some stone powder to replace the remaining walls with bricks.
Search the forum to see if anyone is selling it.
The roof and half of the wooden wall made the sound of wood being blown by the wind.
Only one-third of the house was damaged yesterday. Will the wind be strong enough to continue to damage the house today?
As if to confirm her guess, a crisp "click" sound was heard beside her, and a small hole was broken in the wooden wall closest to her, leading to the house.
Although it was just a very small opening, in an instant, a strong wind rushed into the room from this small opening. At the same time, along with this evil wind, countless sand poured in from this small opening. As the air flowed faster and faster, the room began to be invaded by wind and sand.
The wind was indeed very strong, but because of the stabilizing device, she remained motionless and should be safe.
Soon her fantasy was broken by the sand rushing in from outside the house, and her body was being rubbed by the sand moving everywhere.
The feeling of being scratched by sand is obviously different from when hiding under a sand shelter, and continuous tingling comes from all parts of the body.
The wind and sand slowly formed in the room, and it was difficult for her to open her eyes. Her body was soon torn by the sand. If this continued, even if she could endure the stinging pain every second and stay stable on the ground, her skin would not be able to withstand it.
Now there are two choices before you: put on armor and wait until the sandstorm passes, or escape from here.
If there is a hole in the wooden wall, there may be countless holes. She still underestimated the difficulty of survival that the system added to her. Others have house reinforcement devices, so their wooden houses will not be destroyed. She has a brick foundation, so the wooden wall can still be broken.
Could the armor help her survive this crisis? Perhaps, but she didn't want to stay where she was and gamble anymore. Instead of waiting for death, she might as well find some other solution, which was to leave here and head to the adventure area in advance.
The reason why she had to wait until almost noon was because she was afraid that she would be fighting monsters when she was drawing cards. At that time, the cards might be automatically selected, and her vision would be blocked when she was killing monsters. But the danger was right in front of her, so she had no choice but to set off now. Plans cannot keep up with changes.
As for what to do when you get out.
You can only go out at night, when the probability of sandstorms is low.
She should return to this wooden house again, but she doesn't know how much of it is left and whether monsters will appear by then.
These are the issues she needs to consider during her adventure.
Yu Miaomiao put the indoor items into the backpack, squinted her eyes to find the 'Devil's Bend Adventure Single Experience Card' and clicked 'Use'.
[A player has already entered this area, but the right to use the expedition area has not yet been released. Do you need to apply to enter? ]
【Reasons for application：】
【Confirm/Cancel】
So the expedition site corresponding to the card in her hand already has someone in it, just like she received the application before, she is now the applicant.
Of course not, she didn't want to apply for a code. She didn't want to stay in an adventure area with other strangers. Nature was dangerous, and so were humans with ulterior motives.
The two Devil's Bend cards are stacked on top of each other in the backpack, so these two cards should correspond to the same place.
Now all that's left are the Prank Cave, which is very easy to kill people, and the Dark Oasis we visited before.
The Dark Oasis card is divided into two items, one of which is the expedition site visited last time, and the other two are stacked together separately. They should be expedition sites of the same type but with different scenes.
After hesitating for two seconds, the wind and sand in the house became stronger and stronger, and the pain in her body did not allow her to think too much. Yu Miaomiao immediately clicked on the separate single experience card of the adventure site she had visited.
After being surrounded by a halo of light, a feeling of dizziness came over me. The brackets of the stabilizing device were pulled out of the floor one by one by an invisible force. After four brackets were pulled out, the scenery in front of me instantly turned into a familiar green meadow.
Her feet stepped on the soil and grass, and the stabilizing device came with her to the adventure site.
She sighed. As she expected, the adventure zone experience card had a higher priority than all the "objective" settings of the system. She had also seen others say that if people were caught in a sandstorm, they could use the adventure card to enter the adventure zone, so this experience card was more like a temporary escape amulet for survivors.
Yu Miaomiao bent down to untie the straps on her body. After removing them all, she put the stabilizing device into her backpack.
There are still open lawns on both sides of the sight, and the sand dunes in the distance are much higher than the last time I came. This should be the real-time scene outside the expedition.
The fork in the road in front of me is exactly the same as the last time I came here. Even the little camel that is strolling around is in the same position and movement as when I first saw it. It is simply a one-to-one replica of the place.
