Chapter 142: Desert Survival Day 18 (2) When misfortunes come to a head...
The other party did not reply immediately, Yu Miaomiao had already walked outside.
The weather outside was very cold. The moment she went out, she shivered even though she was wearing thermal clothing and underwear.
The flames in the bonfire outside the door had been blown down to just flames by the cold night. During the day, she had someone make two lanterns and hung them at the door. The candlelight illuminated two silver rabbits running towards her.
It was just an ordinary silver rabbit. She raised her crossbow and shot it to death with two arrows. In the distance, there were some rabbits caught in traps that were not dead yet. She walked over and cut off their ears one by one, and the rabbits died completely.
Dismember it, and you will get a total of 6 rabbit meat, 3 slime, and 2 animal hides.
Standing at the door, he adjusted his breathing to the state of tortoise breathing, added some wood, and set up a simple barbecue grill and automatic cooking pot on the fire.
"Strong no matter your age: I can't tell you that, but you're truly amazing. I thought it would take half a month to take him down, but you easily finished him off in three days, and even took yourself off. It seems those 500 slime drops weren't wasted."
I stood at the door for a long time, but didn't see the familiar figure. I didn't know what happened to the zebra cat. When I was trying to reply to her message, Hua just happened to send another message.
"Hua Bie: Lulu was slightly injured. Yingying helped her feed her hemostatic medicine and applied some medication. She said the bleeding has stopped and the wound is slowly healing. She's just unconscious, so you don't have to worry."
"Hanabetsu: Oh, that person is dead."
It turned out that they hadn't replied to the message because Lulu was injured. When Yu Miaomiao heard him say that, he immediately replied and put the roasted wolf meat in the incubator and feeder.
"Meow Meow: Are you injured? Do you have enough medical resources? Are there other bad guys nearby? Do you need ammunition?"
**
After Yingying applied medicine to Lulu and covered her with a blanket, she felt a gust of cold wind. She looked uncertainly at the fire in the fireplace. It was burning. She turned around and saw Hua Bie standing at the door with a silly smile on his face.
"Brother Huabie, aren't you cold?" Yingying walked to Huabie and looked in the same direction as him, wanting to see what was so funny?
When Hua Bie heard Yingying's words, he turned off his holographic screen and his face instantly returned to his usual cold expression as he replied, "It's okay, just cool down in the breeze."
Yingying opened her eyes wide and looked towards something in the darkness. She asked, "Although... you've killed people before in the apocalypse. Why are you so nervous about dealing with that person?"
"Because he's someone who must be killed." Even if he wanted to pretend he wasn't cold, he couldn't anymore because a sandstorm was coming. He quickly closed the door and left, leaving a message, "The sandstorm is coming. I'll build a house next to you. If anything happens, the system will call me."
"Why is it necessary..." Yingying was halfway through her words when she saw Hua Bie smoothly placing a brick house, walked in, and shut her last few syllables outside the door.
Yingying closed the door and saw the girl sleeping soundly on the bed. She muttered, "Lulu, why are you and Brother Huabie so anxious this time?"
After she asked this question, Lulu, not knowing whether she heard or dreamed something, turned over and over, looking impatient, opened the quilt, and made an unknown roaring sound.
The thin white shirt was torn at a point, and the bandage wrapped around it could not be removed. After Yingying covered her with the quilt, she gently pushed her to the side and squeezed onto the bed herself.
Although Yingying's house has been completely renovated into a brick house, it is still as small as it was at the beginning and cannot accommodate two beds. In order to take care of Lulu, she can only sleep next to her, and from time to time she checks to see if the quilt is lifted and the bandage is wrapped.
Thinking of Hua Bie wearing a long black robe and the girl in white with long black hair and a frown in front of her, Yingying felt that the two were like the Black and White Impermanence who were taking Qi Jintao's life. The King of Hell gave them a book of life and death, and prevented Qi Jintao from surviving 18 days of desert time. The Black and White Impermanence then killed this short-lived ghost with great precision.
So who is this King of Hell?
Is Miaomiao not short of water?
What kind of girl can make Huabie become Hei Wuchang?
No, it seems magical that the cold girl in front of her could become the White Ghost with such a scary and horrifying look just now. Meow meow... Yingying wants to meet this person even more.
**
When Yu Miaomiao received the message from Hua Bie saying that they only needed one bandage, she was a little embarrassed. She immediately made a deal and gave one away. When the other party asked for a manufacturing fee or a purchase fee, she refused and asked Hua Bie to have a good rest and recover from his injury.
Did they really fight until... there weren't even any bandages left?
It should be very intense, but unfortunately she doesn't know how to make bandages or anything like that. She can only make stimulants and advanced medical kits stolen from Qi Jintao. Let's make some stimulants first. After all, she doesn't have the materials to make advanced medical kits yet.
"Strong no matter how old: I have to say your tactics were brilliant. First, he was caught in your trap by the bandages, which accidentally exposed his weakness and allowed Yang Haotian, who had already planned this, to defeat him. Then, just as he was about to regain his strength, you robbed him of his pride and power. Then, you gave him a good thing to make him lose his mind. Finally, you didn't have to do anything yourself, letting others help you kill this unlucky guy."
Yu Miaomiao heard him talk in such detail, and he even knew clearly that he had stolen Qi Jintao's craftsmanship. This shows that the accomplice has a close relationship with Qi Jintao. Who is it?
Could it be that idiot who has plenty of money? Or is it someone who has never shown up?
"No matter how old he is, he's still strong. But you're truly a murderer. You stole his most prized craft, which he once used to control others. You made him watch helplessly as he bled out bit by bit. He begged others in the world to no avail, and he begged you to no avail. Finally, he came to me for help. You can imagine how desperate he must have been. Thinking of his previous expression, I felt so relieved to refuse him."
Yu Miaomiao didn't reply to him. He kept sending her one message after another, as if he was looking for someone to talk to. She thought to herself, don't you have a group of people around you? Why do you have to talk to her?
"No matter how old, he's still strong. Honestly, if he hadn't alienated Yang Haotian first, and the only person who could make a mid-level medical kit hadn't left, he might not have died so quickly. Meow Meow, you're not short of water. You're truly amazing. I sincerely hope to become a friend who walks shoulder to shoulder with you. If you'd like to join our small group, I'd be very welcome."
So much emotional preparation was put in place just for the last sentence.
"Meow Meow: Since it's so cool, do you want to pay me a little more? Oh, you guys, have you left yet?"
Or should I stay nearby and wait for an opportunity to ambush Huabie and the others?
No matter how old he is, Qiang was able to describe what happened that night in such detail, which shows that the accomplice was always there.
Lulu injured Qi Jintao the first time, but his accomplice still did not take action. It was not until the second time when Lulu was seriously injured that Hua Bie completely defeated Qi Jintao.
So no matter how old they are, this group of people are strong. They are pure fishermen who benefit from it. No one helped until the last moment. This shows that this insider must not be exposed and is still useful.
What is its use?
Hua Bie, Lulu and myself will not trust others easily, as that would only make use of the insider in Yang Haotian's place for the second time.
Just as Yu Miaomiao guessed at the beginning, no matter how old he was, Qiang's ambition was definitely not as simple as killing Qi Jintao. He wanted the Tiandihui, a ready-made union, a union that could clear away obstacles.
"No matter how old you are, you're still strong: As long as you're willing to come to our base and join our big family, I'll tell you anything you want to know. It's getting late today, so go to bed early. I believe you're more interested in other things than the reward. The information I promised you about the Tiandihui is still valid. Feel free to contact me if you have any further information."
After taking ten doses of stimulants without triggering luck, she opened the system interface and turned off the new messages sent by Qiang, no matter how old she was.
Is the intelligence valid, or does he want to use Miaomiao's help to kill Yang Haotian?
It seems that the only ones who really have a grudge against Yu Miaomiao and the others are the group of the Big Winner in Life, but this man is already dead. Do they still need to deal with Yang Haotian?
Click on the cheat book and start practicing the tortoise breathing technique.
The people who harmed Lulu at that time should not be completely dead yet. Even if Yu Miaomiao wanted to give up, she thought that Yang Haotian would not sit idly by and wait for death. After all, he was the culprit who caused the Tiandihui to lose half of its members.
Today's moves already include breathing exercises while in the archery stance, but it's still difficult to maintain steady breathing while exerting force with your arms.
With a few moves and calls, the night passed quickly.
The next day, Yu Miaomiao woke up very late. She had practiced until two or three o'clock last night before she was able to open her arms and enter the tortoise breathing state. However, it was still a bit difficult to ensure steady breathing while drawing the bow and shooting the arrow.
Just two seconds after waking up, she received a series of messages.
"Is Pipi here? What should I do? Ziren has been arrested."
"Is Pipi here? He told me to stay where I am and not move. He said there's no way to deal with those people."
"Is Pipi here? He said he's safe and sound, but I'm really worried. What should I do?"
"Is Pipi here? Those people said that as long as he's willing to do the handicrafts, they won't make things difficult for him. He told me not to get excited."
What?
Ziren was arrested?
Yu Miaomiao saw this message as soon as she woke up and glanced at the time. [Desert Survival Day 19 9:41]
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Calm down first, who captured Ziren?"
"Is Pipi here? He said he wasn't sure, but from his current perspective, he could see a flag with the word '天' written on it. It must be the Tiandihui."
"Miaomiao is not short of water: How did you get caught? What did you say when you caught him? What did you ask Ziren to do? Did you ask him to do it all the time, or did you let him go after you finished doing it?"
"Is Pipi here? He was caught while on the road. The man, who was hiding somewhere, shot him and poisoned Ziren. He then took Ziren away."
Shot a poison gun?
Isn’t this the same as the last time Yingying was caught in the crossfire?
"Whether Pipi is here: When he was captured, he was told to help make bullets. He was asked to make a fixed amount of things every day. After he finished, he was not allowed to do anything else, but he had to stay in that person's base."
Is this equivalent to trapping Ziren as free labor?
"Is Pipi here? That person didn't say when he would let Ziren go. He only said that he would keep doing what he was told. It seems he won't let Ziren go."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: What is that person's name?"
"Is Pipi here? Ziren said the owner of the brick house is called 'Chen Lili', but the person who kidnapped him is obviously a man, so he's not sure."
Chen Lili?
She always felt that the name Lili looked familiar.
"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: Ziren was shot and poisoned. Did that person give him the antidote?"
"Is Pipi here? He said he'd give it to me tonight, as long as he finishes today's work. What should I do? Will he die of poisoning? Ziren said it's okay, but I'm still worried."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Does he know what this poison is called? How many people are there in that base?"
"Is Pipi here? He doesn't know. He just keeps telling me, 'It's okay, it's okay.' Ziren said it looks like a fairly large base, with over 10 buildings. He's not sure how many people are there, but he's being held captive in a small room."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I'll go ask someone, don't worry."
Yu Miaomiao was wondering last night, if she didn't cause trouble, would the people from the Tiandihui let them go? It seemed like they wouldn't.
She immediately sent a message to Hua Bie, asking about the situation of him being pursued.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Are you feeling better? Is Lulu awake?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Ziren was captured by someone from a base with a flag bearing the character 'Sky' and was shot with a poisonous gun. I want to confirm with you if they are the same group you met last time. Do you remember the coordinates of that place?"
The other party responded quickly.
"Hua Bie: Well, I'm fine. Lulu drank two doses of hemostatic medicine last night, so she probably hasn't woken up yet. But Yingying checked, and her wounds are all healed. She still has 20 points of stamina, so she should be fine. Don't worry."
"Hua Bie: The coordinates, if I remember correctly, are around 1992, 1015."
"Hua Bie: The people in that base are difficult to deal with. I can't defeat them at all, and escaping is difficult. I advise you not to act impulsively. After being shot by a poisonous gun, only the antidote can save your life. Other medical kits are useless."
As if he was afraid that Yu Miaomiao was about to leave, he sent another message.
"Hua Bie: The people who kidnapped Ziren are different from the Big Winners of Life. The people in the Big Winners of Life base are profit-driven and disunited. Even if there are dozens of them, we only have to deal with two or three. The others can run away or watch the show. But the group I encountered last time were more like a suicide squad, not caring about their lives. So it's best not to go there without knowing anything, as you could easily become the next kidnapper."
The Expendables?
Are there still such a group of people in the end times who are willing to risk their lives to kidnap others?
It's not easy to survive in the apocalypse, but are you willing to sacrifice your life just to bring back someone who knows how to do handicrafts?
It's so weird.
Thinking of this, she thought of a question, what if those people were being blackmailed?
Just like Ziren, who was shot with a poisonous gun and needed an antidote to stay alive, he would not give up until he achieved his goal, because even if he didn't do it, he would die.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Are those people from the Tiandihui?"
"Huabie: I've only seen information on their outer wall. It's about someone called 'Newcomer'. Yingying said she seemed to have seen this name before, but she hasn't spoken in a long time, so she's not sure."
Not all items have personal information on them, only those related to buildings.
The survivor's real name will be on the wooden house, and the player's nickname will be displayed on the wall.
To use the snatch card, you need to enter the player's nickname and real name at the same time. Only the big winners in life who have known each other from the beginning in the real world can know so much, or they may be people who have lived together in the apocalypse.
The location of Yu Miaomiao's base has never changed from beginning to end, so when she was practicing or sleeping at night, if someone passed by, they would see her real name a few days ago, but they didn't know who the real name corresponded to.
Therefore, if passersby were not interested in murder or were busy killing monsters, they would not take her cabin seriously.
But now, anyone passing by her base will see the nickname "Meow Meow is not short of water" written on the stone wall. If the same person passes by her base twice, they will be able to match the two pieces of information.
It seems that she also needs to move, otherwise when the snatch card appears again, once her information is exposed, her craft will be snatched away by someone in the same way.
It's getting hot outside now. The food in the insulated box outside her door is still there, but the roasted meat in the feeder has turned into jerky. It seems that Xiaoguai didn't come last night.
What should Xiaoguai do if we move?
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Do you know any other information?"
"Hua Bie: I dodged quickly at the time. I only saw about ten people, both men and women, chasing me closely. Oh, and when I was fighting with the person closest to me, I saw some skin ulcers on their face. They must have been poisoned."
There were too many things to consider, so she had to send a message to Api first to prevent her from acting impulsively.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: A few days ago, Hua Bie was walking in the desert when he was also targeted by a group of people. Those people also used poison guns. The coordinates are around 1992, 1015. Can you take a look? "
"Is Pipi here? Yes, Ziren's last coordinates were 1997, 1029. So it seems they're not targeting Ziren, they're arresting anyone who passes by."
"Miaomiao is not short of water: It's not ruled out that they would select people to capture. I don't think they would capture every passerby. Tinghua said that the group of people who came out to capture people were all desperate. Their only goal was to capture people. They would not sacrifice their lives just to capture a passerby."
"Is Pipi here? Even if Ziren is good at handicrafts, they wouldn't risk their lives just to kidnap him. Could it be that the person in charge of that base has some special methods?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Hua Bie has fought those people before, and they say they are very difficult to deal with. He has seen ulcers on the face of the person who hit the leader. Yingying, it is the Yingying monster who was accidentally shot with a poisonous bullet and has ulcers on his body. Only antidote can cure it."
"Is Pipi here? So the person in charge of that base relies on poison guns to control these people? So even if they give Ziren the antidote today, they'll still shoot him again at night just to make him stay?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Well, I guess so. I still have four of these antidotes on me. They were all obtained from the expedition. I haven't heard of anyone else in the world making this."
"Is Pipi here? Can you sell me one? I'll give it to Ziren. He didn't even tell me the symptoms of poisoning. It must be very uncomfortable to have skin ulcers."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Trade with me, you can use it first."
Although Yu Miaomiao felt that this transaction might not reach Ziren's hands, she still had to give it a try.
Sure enough, not long after, I received the news that Api's transaction failed, or to be more precise, the news that the usage failed.
"Is Pipi here? Ziren said that right after I used it up, he was given a new poison shot. This pill...was wasted."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Is someone always watching him?"
"Is Pipi here? Um... Ziren said there was a man with a haggard face who kept staring at Ziren while he was doing something. He only took a quick look at what Ziren was trading and then left it alone. He had just taken the antidote when the next shot came."
Anyone standing nearby can clearly see what each person's holographic interface is doing, unless they have the ability to make the system interface visible only to themselves, which Yu Miaomiao had seen last time. Obviously, Ziren does not have this ability.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Does Ziren have an adventure card, a brave journey card, or other escape cards?"
Things in the system backpack can be taken out and stored with the mind, but to use them, you must touch them with your fingers. However, as long as your fingers are fast enough, you should be able to escape from that place in time.
"Is Pipi here? Because I heard about Lulu killing Qi Jintao last night, Ziren gave me one of the expedition zone cards, and the other one was confiscated by that group."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Is this what Ziren told you after he was arrested?"
"Is Pipi here? Well, after they captured Ziren, they immediately checked his system backpack to confirm that there were no cards that could allow him to escape immediately. Then they assigned someone to watch him. The person guarding Ziren didn't care what Ziren said or even what he traded. They only cared about what Ziren got."
So these people only restricted Ziren's personal freedom and did not care what he did.
"Is Pipi here? Ziren even deleted me as a friend, saying he was afraid the gang would find out my location and come after me."
"Is Pipi here? What do you say we should do, Sister Miaomiao? I want to go save him right now."
Yu Miaomiao felt that the situation was very tricky. From what she knew, it would be unwise to go and rescue him now. If she failed to save him, she would be kidnapped instead.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I'll go negotiate with Yang Haotian."
If it was Ziren that Yang Haotian wanted to capture, she would see if there was any way to exchange Ziren.
"Is Pipi here? Forget it. Ziren said it's not necessary. He'll wait until he understands the situation before making plans. They were so brazen as to let Ziren and I text each other. They must have figured we'd get into trouble even if we went. If I rashly ran over now, Ziren would say he'd rather die."
Yu Miaomiao: ...
In fact, Yu Miaomiao also felt that this might not have been done by Yang Haotian. If it was, he would have come to negotiate terms long ago. Moreover, his method of controlling people was not so rigid. What he wanted was people's hearts rather than their bodies.
To confirm whether the 'newcomer' was a member of the Tiandihui, there was another person she could ask, and that was the man who proudly said last night that he could continue to provide information, regardless of his age.
"Meow Meow: Excuse me, I'd like to ask you something. Is 'Newcomer' or 'Chen Lili' a member of your union?"
"No matter how old, strong: How do you know him? 'Newcomer' joined our union a long time ago, but was later reported missing. We haven't seen him since. He doesn't seem to be dead, so we don't know what happened."
"No matter how old you are, you're still strong: Chen Lili, if it's 'Lili', she was once a member of our union, but she's also missing. We suspect it was done by a secretive serial killer in the union. Oh, do you know what a serial killer is?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I know, thanks for letting me know."
"No matter how old you are, you're still strong: Don't worry, if you need any more information, you can ask me. Do you have any information on these two people? If you don't mind, please share it with me. Our union takes this disappearance very seriously. If you can help me find the murderer, I can pay you another 500 slime."
What will they do when they find the murderer?
Probably just deal with it.
Yu Miaomiao didn't believe that this group of people would really value the lives of the survivors who had disappeared long ago. What she wanted more was to know who was lurking in their union to prevent that "murderer" from continuing to commit crimes.
What's the most effective way to stop that person from committing crimes? Of course, it's to kill him once and for all, that is, to raze the base to the ground.
Ziren was still there, and she couldn't take the risk of betting on what Yang Haotian or Duqiang, no matter how old he was, would do.
She quickly looked through the post left by Fanshoujiusiu before, and replied to the other party.
