Chapter 160 Desert Survival Day 24 (3) Someone betrayed us...
Yu Miaomiao looked towards the location of the walkie-talkie. There was no figure there, but a small reddish-brown machine could be vaguely seen floating in the air. It seemed that he was really wearing invisible clothes.
She didn't respond, but looked at the system message.
"Pangpang: Sister Miaomiao, he picked up the intercom, and my dummy ran towards you."
With the naked eye, she could see a fake Lulu running towards her. She lay on top of a cactus and looked through the telescope. A corner of the small walkie-talkie floating in the air lifted up, and then the walkie-talkie disappeared into thin air.
He must have taken it into the Invisibility Cloak.
Each person can only wear one shield, and Yu Miaomiao has many opportunities to kill "One" from this angle, but she wants to capture him alive.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: He didn't find you, did he?"
"Chubby: The frost trap on my side didn't trigger, so he probably didn't come over. I didn't hear anything either."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Then you should pay attention to safety. If there is any problem, immediately detonate the water surface and paddle away."
From Miaomiao's angle, she couldn't see what was happening on Lulu's side.
According to their plan, Lulu used a fake body to lead people to Yu Miaomiao, while Lulu took a dragon boat and hid in the water next to the branch barrier that separated the front and back ends of the oasis, using the willow branches extending outward and hanging on the river bank as cover.
Worried that their bloody footprints would be discovered, Yu Miaomiao also specially placed two explosive mines.
As long as '一' passes by, even if it doesn't injure him, it can still destroy all traces of what happened at the scene.
All of this is to allow that "one" to get closer to the mammoth herd.
The mammoth treasure chests in the Dark Oasis expedition areas with different numbers were all set up the same way. Yu Miaomiao was very familiar with this area. She even knew whether each cactus and monster could be hooked with a sickle chain. Therefore, luring people here was the best place to carry out the kidnapping plan.
Yu Miaomiao didn't reply using the intercom, but she had to keep the man following her. If they didn't leave the expedition site, she could only pretend to be treasure hunting.
"Bang." After 'Yi' stepped on another mine and it exploded, Lulu's dummy disappeared in the thick fog. Half an hour had passed.
Yu Miaomiao and Lulu wasted some time testing the dummy. The mine was only 10 meters away from this area, and she had to let the other party see a new person appear - that was Yu Miaomiao herself.
"Swish—"
Using the jet device, she jumped up, stepped on a mammoth, turned on the jet device again, and rushed towards the largest treasure chest guardian monster.
There is murderous intent.
Before she flew to the treasure chest guardian monster, she suddenly used the sickle hook, hung on the side of an old mammoth, stabbed it in the neck, drew her knife, and disappeared among the elephants and cacti.
The elephant herd was in a panic for a moment, and a dozen mammoths began to circle around the cactus.
"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: Can you see which way the cunning catfish's head is facing at the intersection?"
"Fat Fat: It's still with the elephants. That person shouldn't have come out yet."
Considering that the other party might have teleportation or invisibility devices, she placed a dozen cunning catfish, sharp-horned sheep, and carrion bird corpses at the entrance of the elephant herd.
If someone passes by, the cunning catfish's first target of biting will be the human. When the people around disappear, the cunning catfish will bite the animal corpse again.
But all of this is time-sensitive. If the cunning catfish stays ashore for too long, it will slowly die of lack of oxygen and eventually become food for scavenging birds in the sky and hamsters underground.
So she wanted to make a quick decision.
He came in, but still didn't show up. Was it because of the invisibility cloak?
Yu Miaomiao, hiding in the cactus, could feel the surrounding elephants gradually quieting down.
She has entered a hibernation state and the monsters can no longer sense her. Could it be that the invisibility cloak can block the animals' perception?
She turned on the thermal detector and saw no target nearby. It seemed that the man was wearing a high-temperature full-body sun-protective suit just like her.
This person really made full preparations to come find them.
Between the two cacti next door, she heard a man's voice coming from the intercom, "Meow meow, you're not short of water. I know you're here. I don't think you want to kill me. If you want to discuss cooperation, you might as well come out openly."
Yu Miaomiao didn't really want to kill him right away, but that didn't mean...
"Chichichichichiohohohoh"
She turned on the Screaming Chicken and it started screaming right at her feet.
The sound was so loud that it almost broke her eardrums, but she had no choice but to endure it.
Come quickly, come quickly, come quickly, carrion bird.
Yu Miaomiao killed one elephant when he entered the herd, and just now he killed another one right under the man's nose. Although a group of scavenger birds had just arrived, these monster corpses, coupled with the breath of the person in front of him and the screaming chicken under his feet, must have attracted the bee monsters and scavenger birds.
"Sila"
Beneath the cries of the screaming chickens, she could faintly hear the sound of a mammoth falling and crushing a cactus.
Is this person going to open the treasure chest or run away?
Yu Miaomiao, who was hiding in the cactus and couldn't see anything, couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Can you see that person?"
"Chubby: The cunning catfish is dead. I can't confirm it."
Apart from the crowing of chickens under her feet, there was no sound outside. She did have some gambling intentions.
The sound of chirping that pierced the sky came from afar, one after another. A group of scavenger birds came!
"You TM want to die with me, right...?" An angry roar came from the intercom next door. After a "crackling" sound of electricity, the intercom fell silent.
It seems that the man found the cactus where the walkie-talkie was hidden and broke it.
The system can obviously communicate, so why is there a need for a walkie-talkie? Moreover, there is a distance limit. Apart from being used to deceive people, she thinks it is useless. It is not a pity to destroy it, as she will just lose some money from selling slime.
Until she heard the cry of a scavenger bird overhead, she cut a hole in the side and crawled out. The hole she had originally cut was blocked by the giant mammoth she had killed.
As soon as she emerged from the cactus, she saw two scavenger birds swooping down into the air three meters in front of her.
She knew the corresponding positions of the scavenger bird's attack posture very well. She walked closer quickly, threw the binding rope into the air, and raised the shield with her other hand.
"Bang-bang-bang-bang"
The shield in his hand was immediately shot into pieces.
She dodged with her shield and threw another tether. Then she heard a roar in the air: "My hands are already entangled, and you're still trying to tie them up. Do you want to see me get bitten to death by a scavenger bird?"
With his voice, the surrounding mammoths were instantly startled and stepped towards the air together.
Yu Miaomiao stood there wearing a conical hat, unaffected at all. Even the scavenger birds in the sky didn't notice her.
"Save me, I don't want to die here."
A scavenger bird was already standing with its claws in the air more than a meter high, pecking at the air with its sharp beak.
"ah--"
Is he really tied up?
Yu Miaomiao was not sure either. After all, she could see that the two steel ropes did indeed circle around an invisible object twice, but she was not sure whether they had tied the man's hands and feet.
"Why do these birds bite me instead of you? What tricks did you use?"
I saw the object made of two circles of rope twisting in the air. The scavenger bird pecked at the air again, and then the second scavenger bird fell down, and a leg of the mammoth stepped on it.
Yu Miaomiao held the shield in his right hand motionlessly, turned his left hand behind his back, and took out the third rope.
The person was definitely tied up, but she was not sure whether the others were tied up properly.
"Bang."
One of the mammoth's legs had already stepped on the air next to the scavenger bird, and a sound of armor breaking was heard.
Yu Miaomiao threw out the third rope again and shot the sickle flying rope towards the mammoth.
As the body was pulled over, a knife was stabbed into the mammoth's throat, and then it was lifted up, and the mammoth fell to the ground in an instant.
As she landed, she threw out another rope.
"Are you fucking sick? You tied so many things up that my return pass is useless. Where would I get my hands from—"
The man shouted angrily. Yu Miaomiao killed the two scavenger birds earlier, and a new third one landed where the man's voice came from, pecking at the air again.
"What the hell are you going to do? Damn it! My soft armor is broken, and the shield is about to be pierced by the carrion bird."
The man kept twisting his body, and the four ropes were spinning in the air. Yu Miaomiao could vaguely see the outline of the man.
According to the position and proportion of the mammoth and the scavenger bird's attacks, she roughly confirmed the opponent's hands. They were indeed tied to the side, but the posture was that one was placed behind the back and the other was placed on the chest.
In other words, it was only on the third time that she completely tied the other person up.
"Want me to take action?"
Yu Miaomiao raised his hand and shot the scavenger bird standing on his shoulder with a crossbow arrow, and asked indifferently.
"What do you want to know? Just ask." The man's voice gradually calmed down.
Yu Miaomiao still held up the shield and said without relaxing his vigilance: "First, remove your cloaking device."
The man hunched over, and seeing the ropes tied around him didn't budge, he said dejectedly, "I can't move. This device can't reach me. How about you come over here and press the button on my chest to disable my invisibility?"
"hehe."
"What are you laughing at? I'm already tied up like this, do I really need to lie to you? Ah——"
Two more carrion birds landed on him and pecked at him.
"You have a shield, so how could you feel pain when you were pecked? You're so unrealistic."
Yu Miaomiao restrained her breath to ensure that she would not be hurt by the monster, and simply opened the holographic interface to send a message to Lulu.
"Pangpang: What's going on, Sister Meow Meow? I see a lot of scavenger birds heading towards you. Can you handle it? Should I come over now?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: It's okay, I caught him. I will use smoke bombs if there is any situation. You can come over slowly. It's best not to appear in front of him first."
"Fat Fatty: Okay."
From that person's perspective, he could see her turning on the holographic screen, but a cactus blocked all the screen content, so he couldn't see what she was doing. The calmness in his heart gradually disappeared, and as he saw another mammoth about to reach him, he immediately used his mind to retract the cloaking device.
In her peripheral vision, a man with a crew cut appeared in front of her. Two scavenger birds landed on his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, and were pecking at his eyes again and again. However, due to the shield, the two sharp beaks could not peck through.
A normal person would be terrified if their eyes were attacked like this, but that person's narrow eyes were calm, like a well-trained...
killer.
With this idea in mind, Yu Miaomiao used the lie detection card through the advanced backpack expander.
"Are you alone?" Seeing that the short woman in front of him still didn't respond, the man looked at his shield value and couldn't help but ask.
Yu Miaomiao didn't answer him, but waited.
He was so calm even when being pecked by a scavenger bird, so how could she ask questions?
The mammoth was already in front of him. Yu Miaomiao could see that the soft armor worn by the man had indeed cracked, but the giant elephant's foot was already above his head, but he still looked unmoved, as if he was certain that Yu Miaomiao in front of him would save him.
"Bang."
The mammoth kicked him down heavily, crushing him to the ground. Without the protection of soft armor, he was pinned to the ground by the tons of force of the giant, and curled up into a ball.
"Save me!!! I'll tell you everything you want to know!"
This sound was accompanied by a struggle on his face, and the fear did not seem to be pretended.
After she swung out with her sickle, she stabbed the mammoth's head and waist on the left and right. Before the trunk hit her, she slashed it horizontally, cutting off the trunk and then half of its head.
This is the power of high physical strength. Yu Miaomiao gripped the sword tightly and stood in front of the man one meter away.
Yu Miaomiao was not tall, but the man in front of her was tied up all over and huddled on the ground, unable to stand up. She looked down and said, "Did you come in to kill Fatty?"
She had a hundred thousand questions in her mind, but she couldn't ask them all at once. She had an hour to detect lies, and she couldn't disrupt the rhythm.
"I was wondering why she always refused so quickly, and I wondered if she was scared. Turns out she was trying to get help. I didn't expect you to be so strong and so brave. You actually dared to hide in that screaming cactus. Aren't you afraid that I'll find that lousy chicken's cactus first?"
Yu Miaomiao pretended not to hear his "praise" and raised her hand to shoot two newly arrived scavengers and asked, "Since you know I'm not weak, why do you dare to come here and die?"
The man chuckled and said, "You don't intend to kill me, do you? You're just trying to trick me. Once the 12 hours are up, my brothers will come and rescue me."
"You're trying to provoke me. You want to die so much, are you afraid that I'll ask you something? Who is worthy of your favoritism and protection, no matter how old he is?" Yu Miaomiao didn't expect that the arrogant and domineering man would have such a loyal subordinate.
"Brother Qiang is a true powerful man in the end times, of course he deserves my support?" the man shouted excitedly.
"Beep beep beep beep"
A series of system prompts made Yu Miaomiao's head buzz, and the discomfort brought by the screaming chicken came back again.
Everyone on the ground is about to die, but he still says something sarcastic that she can hear without the system reminding her. Is he really trying to mess with her brain?
Yu Miaomiao angrily shot out a poisonous needle, which pierced his chest.
Seeing the green needle so close to him, the man was shocked for a moment. He recognized what it was and shouted more excitedly than before: "Quick, give me the antidote!"
"So you really know this thing. It turns out that you are in cahoots with the murderer." Yu Miaomiao repeated this sentence affirmatively. If they could learn about the murderer from him, there would be more chances to rescue Ziren, and Api wouldn't have to worry so much.
When the man heard her say this, he knew she was testing him, but he had seen the effect of the needle before, and now the antidote...
"Logically, you and the killer are in cahoots. If your brother rescued you, you could ask the killer for the antidote. Why are you so anxious to find me?" Yu Miaomiao paused for a few seconds and said, "Does asking him for the antidote mean I have to work for him? Even your brother can't save you?"
The man turned away and said nothing, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"Your original name is Blue Hidden World, right? Since you don't work hard for anyone no matter how old you are, then who are you working for? It can't be... your former boss of the base, Ten Thousand Watts." Yu Miaomiao used the same trick again. After the mammoth stepped on the stubborn man in front of him, he attacked and killed the monster.
At this moment, she saw blood on the man's body seeping through his clothes for the first time. It seemed that the shield was broken, but he didn't even let out a cry of pain. He was really a tough guy.
"Haha, why don't you tell me whether I am working hard for Ziren?" The man did not follow Yu Miaomiao's words, but mentioned a new name, someone she knew.
"What?" Yu Miaomiao seemed not to have heard clearly. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "Why, when you're about to die, you still want to throw dirty water on others?"
She hadn't heard the system beep just now, and she had a bad feeling.
While the two were talking, she had already seen that the man's skin began to fester, starting from his face, where little bloody pustules emerged, which looked a little scary.
"Do you think I'm scary now? How many times more painful will your old friend be if he is taken to that person? Can his son-in-law bear it?" The man said provocatively with his face on the ground. He could see Yu Miaomiao's expression.
There was no beep. A strong feeling of discomfort washed over me.
"Don't believe it? In order to survive, he told us everything you told him, like pouring beans. Do you think you have any secrets? It's just a joke." The man continued to provoke.
Yu Miaomiao didn't expect that she just wanted to find out who was behind it, but she ended up implicating Ziren.
So Ziren really turned against us.
She really wanted to know if the system had malfunctioned and wasn't detecting the lie.
"Why didn't you bring the gun you used to kill me last time? You brought a shotgun instead. How come Yiwan Watt is reluctant to give you such a good weapon?" Yu Miaomiao tried to calm her tone and probe. There was no rush to resolve the matter of Ziren's betrayal and selling out of her. The most important thing was to get more information from this man.
"Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?" The man spat contemptuously and was about to stop talking. If he was really going to be killed by this woman here, he would accept it. It was his fault for underestimating the enemy.
In fact, it was not that he underestimated the enemy. He had already brought all the good stuff. Brother Liang originally wanted to give him the Ba sniper rifle, but he wanted to bring back a living hostage for Brother Liang. After all, the medical resources that Lulu had were exactly what they lacked. Unexpectedly, he fell into Miaomiao's trap of not lacking water.
It is difficult to have a conversation without speaking. The lie detection card can determine whether what the other person says is true or false, but it cannot make the other person tell the truth.
She couldn't just ignore the mammoth stepping on him. If he really died, it would be a waste of an item card.
He killed one after another until a new scavenger bird landed on his head and pecked at the man's eyes on the ground again.
Yu Miaomiao had never been attacked by a scavenger bird at close range. It turned out that if she was attacked by this kind of bird, her eyes would be in danger. It was painful to think about it. How would it feel to watch her eyes being pecked to pieces?
It must be the muffled groan of the man on the ground who could no longer hold back.
She doesn't know torture techniques or other methods, but the carrion birds do, and the monsters in the expedition area know how to torture humans.
"What do you want? You don't want to say anything, and you don't want to kill me. You just want to watch me get tortured to death? Do you have this hobby?" The man used his head to drive away the scavenger bird and buried his face in the ground to avoid the pecking.
His shield was completely broken, and one of his eyes was blinded by the first peck from the sharp beak. The severe pain made him scream out. Even though he was a seasoned assassin from an organization, he had never seen such a punishment method - cold violence, allowing the monster to destroy a person bit by bit.
"You are determined to die, and you didn't tell me if it was you who shot me last time. I don't want to kill innocent people..." Yu Miaomiao spread his hands, looking helpless and hateful.
"You!" The man glanced back, buried his face in the ground, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's me, it's me, kill me now!"
"Oh, it's you... Then how could I kill you so easily? You know, because of that shot of yours, I lost a good equipment in vain." Yu Miaomiao paused deliberately while speaking.
The man yelled angrily, "Aren't you fucking not hurt?"
"Oh yes..." Yu Miaomiao took out a cup of sea salt milk green tea and started drinking it in front of the man on the ground.
Milk tea is her real favorite. She once worked part-time in a milk tea shop, where she was given two free cups of milk tea every day as an employee benefit. At that time, she could drink two cups a day and never get tired of it. Now, in the end times, she can drink this cup in the adventure area. The salty, sweet and milky taste makes her so happy.
But the person on the ground seemed a little unhappy. "It's already this late, and you're still drinking milk tea? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
"It seems a bit irritating. I'll drink slowly then." Yu Miaomiao was also helpless. She had no interrogation skills at all. She could only make the other party anxious. "Does Yang Haotian know about your chain of interests? If he knew, do you think your brother Qiang and your brother Yiwan Watt would be in trouble?"
"We haven't done anything to harm the Tiandihui, so what if they find out?" The man lay on the ground, feeling the blood draining out of his eyeballs bit by bit. The sores on his body were itchy and painful. His hands were tied so tightly that he couldn't even scratch them. He could only relieve this mental torture by talking. He was about to die, so he simply talked nonsense to disrupt Miaomiao's thoughts. It was the last thing he could do for Brother Liang.
Yu Miaomiao was delighted to see him give up, but when she heard the familiar beeping sound, she knew he was lying again. She pressed the issue, "No matter how old he is, his goal is to seize the position of president, right? Why doesn't he just start his own company instead of hiding under Yang Haotian and asking for trouble?"
"Brother Qiang is brave and resourceful, so he naturally has his own ideas. They are beyond the understanding of a useless person like you." The man wanted to say all the dirty words, but did not want to anger the other party too much. In fact, he was still a little afraid of death. After all, he had survived the apocalypse until now. As long as he did a few things, he could return to the base. I heard that there was air conditioning, good wine and good cigarettes there.
He had just opened his mouth for a few words when a few beeps made Yu Miaomiao's scalp numb. How annoying were the people on the ground? No matter how old they were, they were strong. Every fancy compliment they made was a sarcasm.
Since he discussed that he is strong no matter how old he is, why does he work so hard for that base?
"It's ten thousand watts. He uses the Tiandihui to regularly provide 'talents' and prisoners to the killer, and then uses the killer..." Yu Miaomiao felt that the answer was on the tip of his tongue.
"No, Brother Liang didn't, don't slander me!" The man's words were accompanied by a series of system "beeps".
"Use the murderer to eliminate all the strong ones regardless of their age, and finally sit on the chairman's throne." Yu Miaomiao couldn't help but applaud. The bad guys are really worse than each other.
"So what if you guessed it? Do you think Yang Haotian would believe you if you said this to him? Instead of guessing blindly here, why not ask yourself how many good and bad people there are around you? Are there any friends who are stabbing you in the back?"
The man on the ground was silent for a moment, said a long paragraph, and then was punched hard on the head.
A figure passed by her. It was Lulu, who had been standing behind the cactus and listening for a long time.
