Chapter 121 Desert Survival Day 13 (9) A Stunning Visitor to the Human World...
The willow trees appear to be about two meters tall, and each tree grows almost close to the other. The leaves are long and narrow, stacked on top of each other, and it looks like countless leaves have been deliberately squeezed and stuffed into a pile.
The branches that should have been swaying like willows were now all tangled together. Yu Miaomiao stared at them for a long time and felt a little suffocated. A wall of trees blocked the entire road tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe.
This area is actually a choice between a main road and a branch road.
Where is the intersection? Fortunately, she heard Huabie tell her.
No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she still walked along the row of trees from left to right and found the two sparsest spots in the row.
Looking through a corner where there were fewer trees and the branches and leaves were a little yellow, the willow trees behind were not as lush and not as crowded as in other places. There were some gaps between the intertwined branches, and you could vaguely see a small grassy slope behind it.
These two willow trees with relatively poor growth are the first branch road and main road that can be selected in the oasis area.
As for which one it was, the flowers were different every time he came, so he couldn't remember clearly. Now Yu Miaomiao could only choose one at random.
After splitting the branches in front of me with a horizontal knife, I heard the voice of my friend calling for news.
"Pangpang: Sister Miaomiao, after I learned the blueprint you gave me, I gained the 'Crazy Pharmacist' trait, which also has a value after it, 120. I'm making medical items now, and they might trigger a double bonus. The skin-growing ointment I just made for you triggered it. I'll give it all to you."
Hmm? I didn't expect the crafting title related to medical supplies to be called "Crazy Pharmacist," but being able to trigger the double bonus is a good thing, just like my own Lucky trait. I don't know how often Lulu will trigger it.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Just give me one portion, and the rest is yours. This trait allows you to accumulate more wealth. If you give it all away, you'll be wasting the advantage it brings you."
Just like herself, all the lucky items that were triggered were counted as her own items. Otherwise, according to Lulu's algorithm, she would give less things to others.
Among the two piles of trees that were not growing well, Yu Miaomiao chose the one with fewer branches.
Thin branches are broken directly, while thicker branches are split with a horizontal knife.
"rustle"
"Gaba"
"Fatty: From now on, if I double the amount of medical supplies I'll be more than polite to you. Today's sales will be considered as me buying your blueprints, okay?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: OK, thank you dear Lulu."
After the two of them finished the transaction, she planned to apply it later, as she was not sure if one bottle of ointment would be enough.
After entering the wall of branches, she tried her best to make space for herself to avoid being poked by the branches, and carefully checked whether there was a treasure chest in the gap.
If it's deeper and she can't see clearly, she will just pretend it's not there.
When Yu Miaomiao heard Hua Bie talk about this section of road, he asked him if he could just burn it. He said that he had done so before, but it attracted a bunch of patrolling monsters and he had to run away early.
There were at least a hundred patrolling monsters that he could escape from, so taking shortcuts seemed to be out of the question.
Fortunately, the branches here don't grow as wildly as the aloe vera before, they just move a little slowly.
After cutting down trees along the way and picking up three cloth bags, I finally got out of this road.
As soon as she stepped out of the bushes, she was in a defensive stance, umbrella in hand, crossbow ready with poison arrows in her other hand.
If you take the main road here, you will see adult mammoths with amazing attack power, but if you take the branch road.
There are ostriches tied with chains in front of you.
Yu Miaomiao took back the poison arrow and replaced it with an ordinary arrow.
This is a completely independent area, and it is also an island in the middle of the lake. There is a grass slope in the middle of the island, and on the grass slope are four gray ostriches tied with iron chains.
The ostriches here stand upright, with their two wings transformed into two small claws. Only their bodies are covered with hair, and their tails have almost degenerated and are invisible. They have human-like facial features and a short neck.
The innocent big eyes are covered with very thin and long feathers, making it look harmless.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me."
"Although I can't see you, I know you have entered our territory. Please don't kill me."
"Can you please not open the treasure chest? If you do, I'll die."
"There's nothing good in this treasure chest. Could you please not take our lives? We're trapped here because of something that happened to us."
As soon as Yu Miaomiao stepped onto the grass slope, she saw the four ostriches opening and closing their mouths and speaking human language.
Although she knew this would happen, she still felt it was very awkward when she actually listened to it. Their voices were not real, as if they were spoken by machines.
"Don't believe anything those ostriches say, even if they can simulate any sound. Just kill them. Of course, be careful of them flying up and pouncing on you. Their claws are incredibly strong. One of them even tore through my shield."
Yu Miaomiao still remembered the reminder Hua Bie gave her, so she didn't take what these bird people said seriously.
“Whoosh.”
An arrow was shot at one of them, but was nimbly deflected by the ostrich.
"Wow wow wow, why are you so disobedient? You refused to go with us and refused to do anything we asked you to do. Are you really trying to make things difficult for us? Do you want your old grandma to worry about you?"
The voice was very familiar. It belonged to a cousin's son. He had wanted to adopt Yu Miaomiao from her grandmother's house, saying that he would take good care of her. But in fact, he also wanted to take advantage of the house left by her parents.
At that time, grandma was already annoyed with her and didn't say anything, but she just kept on being pushed around by this short, dark-skinned, middle-aged man.
How come this person's voice sounds so similar? No, it's this ostrich. How come its onomatopoeia sounds so similar?
Her memory was instantly brought back to ten years ago, and the feeling of being disliked, hated and despised was still vivid in her mind.
"Wow wow wow wow, you little bastard, you were born by a mother but not raised by her. I kept saying that my mother was unlucky for our family, but my dad wouldn't listen. I was killed by my mom."
This was the voice of grandma speaking in dialect. At that time, she would always grab Yu Miaomiao's ears and scold her because she was the one who had to take away the lives of her loved ones. She also said that she was also a death ghost who would take away the lives of the whole family.
At that time, Yu Miaomiao hid in the yellow quilt and cried every day. She also suspected that her parents died in the car accident because of her.
"Wow wow wow, Nen is just like her mother. She killed Ou's son before and now she's killing Ou's wife. Why doesn't Nen just die?"
A few years after her father passed away, her grandfather died of excessive grief and illness. Her grandmother would beat and scold her at any time. Yu Miaomiao was bullied at school and would be subjected to all kinds of cold stares and insults when she returned home, until she met Yue Yina.
"Miaomiao, look at this cat. I want to take it home, but I'm afraid my mom won't agree. Can I tell her that we're raising it together?"
When she was in junior high school, Yu Miaomiao always hid in a corner of the classroom in a depressed mood and walked away alone after school. It was not until the class monitor came to her and said he would take her to see a cat that she gradually opened up her heart.
"Whoosh," "whoosh," "whoosh"
Yu Miaomiao shot arrows faster and faster, and when he was close enough, he finally shot an arrow into the camel's belly.
The first three sentences do sound like something a relative would say to Miaomiao, but the fourth sentence could never have been said by Yue Yina.
At that time, Yue Yina did raise a cat for a short time with Yu Miaomiao, but Yue Yina said at the time that they were still young and did not have the ability to take care of a cat. They could only use the New Year's money they had saved to treat the cat and send it back to nature after it was cured. Later, at the suggestion of an older sister, they took the cat for sterilization and then released it back into the wild.
Yu Miaomiao never stopped shooting arrows. She kept her eyes on the movements of the four ostriches. When one of them bent its legs and prepared to jump, she immediately shot two arrows in succession towards the angle of its jump, and then changed to a horizontal sword to chop it.
Yue Yina has always been a person who dares to do and dares to take responsibility, and she would never use Yu Miaomiao as an excuse, so even if this memory is a bit distant and she may not remember exactly what was said at the time, these words could never have come from Yue Yina's mouth.
Yu Miaomiao became angrier the more he thought about it, so he simply picked up his sword and slashed at the two remaining ostriches.
Their eyes were so big that she could even see her own ferocious reflection in the eyes of the ostrich it had hacked to death.
Before the second blow could be made, the ostrich broke free from its chains and ran towards her.
Seeing this, she quickly ran to the top of the grass slope, hid her sword behind her back, glanced around, confirmed the location of the silver treasure chest, and ran towards it.
As we ran past the carcasses of ostriches along the road, we saw that all the chains on the ground were loose. It turned out that they were just decorations used to deceive humans' trust.
She was even more furious. This crappy game designer really had good intentions. She didn't know where he got the things that happened to her before, and even set his sights on Yue Yina.
She was used to being bullied when she was a child and always endured it, but that doesn't mean she is still like that now.
Before, the ostrich might have dealt with Yu Miaomiao, but this time she was almost running to the treasure chest. As a treasure chest monster, the ostrich no longer cared about any anthropomorphic sounds, but directly pecked at Yu Miaomiao with its mouth.
When the little head was only a fist away from her, she swung the sword hidden behind her and chopped it down diagonally. The ostrich head landed at her feet. She uttered the last few words in Yue Yina's voice, "Don't kill me~"
Hearing the voice, Yu Miaomiao angrily kicked the ostrich's head, who still spoke before dying, and glanced at the countdown in his sight. There were still 10 minutes before the patrolling monsters arrived.
She felt unlucky just looking at the ostrich carcasses, so she dismembered them on the spot and obtained four portions of mucus.
A silver treasure chest lay quietly on the grass slope. It didn't look big, but from its quality, Yu Miaomiao knew it must be a good thing.
Take out the tools and unlock it.
Only then did Yu Miaomiao have time to analyze what had just happened. Why could these four ostriches accurately imitate the voices of her relatives and friends?
My grandmother has passed away six years ago. If I want to collect her voice, I should have started at least six years ago.
She didn't believe these sound effects, which were collected from her memory, because at least what Yue Yina said was wrong.
Apart from the possibility that she was hallucinating, these voices were most likely collected by the workers of this game system many years ago.
Is it just for Miaomiao’s collection?
Probably not. She doesn't have much savings, so what is there worth someone collecting specifically?
Hua Bie also reminded her not to believe whatever the ostrich said, which meant that he must have heard a familiar voice and was afraid that she would be distracted.
If this is the case, then every survivor who comes to the end of the world may have been noticed very early on, and then this information has been secretly collected.
Yu Miaomiao found it terrifying to think about it carefully. It seemed that this doomsday game had been prepared for many years and had even been lurking in their real world for a long time.
So, what exactly is this system trying to do by going to all this trouble? Or, in other words, how much information has this system secretly collected?
In fact, she was not sure whether what those relatives said were the original words at that time, but it must be consistent with the sentences said by those relatives. It was just that she trusted Yue Yina too much, so she could tell the truth from the falsehood.
So she can think that this game system simply collected a lot of people's personal information and voices a long time ago, and then simulated the scenes and conversations that each person would encounter.
The other relatives all simulated it almost correctly, only very close people might make mistakes in the simulation.
Thinking of this, she quickly sent a message to Hua Bie.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I just killed the ostrich man on the branch road. Don't you think the scene design here is weird?"

Before she could marvel at the Platinum Treasure Card, Yu Miaomiao cast her eyes towards the strange card.
