Chapter 162 Desert Survival Day 24 (5) The choice is yours...
The sandstorm outside was still raging, and Yu Miaomiao's heart could not calm down for a long time.
She decided to do something to distract herself.
Today, in order to make "One" walk to her vicinity according to the fixed route, she used up all the explosive mines she made. There was still an hour before nightfall, which was just the right time to make this thing.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, Yu Miaomiao only knew the man's game ID nickname. She didn't even know the name of the person she killed. She only knew that the man's brother was called Li Qingquan. How many nameless and faceless wronged souls were there in the end of the world? She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
When that person came in, Lulu asked Yu Miaomiao who was the one who did it in the end. Yu Miaomiao naturally took over the task. After all, that person was the one she was looking for. Although she didn't know what the purpose of that person coming in this time was, and whether he wanted to kill Lulu again, at least he had killed Miaomiao last time, so no matter what, it should be Yu Miaomiao's turn to do it.
But when she really gripped the knife handle and stabbed it into the man's chest, her heart still skipped a beat. She didn't look at the man's expression, she only knew that her hands were shaking a little. Not long after the blood flowed out, the man died.
She could actually let the man stay there, as he would be eaten by the monster sooner or later anyway, but she couldn't do it psychologically. She couldn't bring herself to end a person in such a cruel way.
And...in order to avoid any more trouble, the danger must be nipped in the bud. That's why as soon as the lie detection card expired, she dealt with him without any further ado.
There are only more than 2 hours left before Lulu has exclusive rights to the expedition site. They must leave time to complete the remaining expedition site strategies to prevent that person's support from coming in quietly.
“Ding ding.”
Yu Miaomiao stopped what she was doing and looked at the group chat message.
"Pangpang: Sister Miaomiao, you said we killed someone who was strong no matter how old he was, so why is he so calm? Maybe he didn't know about the "one" coming in at all, and it was the instruction of the 10,000-watt guy."
Yu Miaomiao searched for information about Ten Thousand Watts on the leaderboards. His name was on every list, but each one was at the end or in the middle of the list, well hidden.
"Meow Meow: I just tried to repair the invisibility cloak, but it didn't work. Apparently, it's a one-time item. 'One' doesn't have anything particularly useful in his backpack, except for the silent shoes you're wearing. Everything else is something we can make. So, this 'One' doesn't have the precious things he claims to have. I guess this guy, regardless of his age, doesn't care about them, so he didn't contact us. Let's see if that 10,000-watt guy is willing to come out from behind the scenes."
"Pangpang: Sister Miaomiao, it's a good thing you used the Lie Detection Card. That person was talking nonsense, it was hard to tell what was true and what was false. These bad guys are so despicable, they really don't deserve to die. Think about the people who were tortured. How could they have the heart to do this? We all come from a society ruled by law. How could they do such a thing to their own kind? It makes me angry just thinking about it."
Yu Miaomiao and Lulu did not use private chat, but spoke directly in the group. They both tacitly did not avoid Api.
"Is Pipi here? So, Ziren couldn't be in cahoots with the murderer, right?"
Yu Miaomiao didn't know whether Ziren had just sold the information to the murderer or One Thousand Watt, or was really in cahoots with the bad guys.
"Miaomiao is not short of water: 'One' didn't mention this. I injected him with two doses of poison to break his defenses. He looked miserable and must have been in great pain. Ziren might have just told me about Lulu and me because he couldn't bear it anymore, or maybe he joined that organization just to be completely safe. I can't give you a definite answer."
"Pangpang: Yingying was shot with a poison needle before, and it took a long time to detoxify. She said it was really painful, the pain and itching repeatedly irritating her body, and she still has a scar on her face that hasn't healed. But this is no excuse to do bad things or betray your friends. Today, Ziren may turn to the bad guys and reveal his friends' secrets for temporary safety, but in the future, will he also do the same as those bad guys, killing, injuring, robbing, and committing all kinds of evil just to survive?"
Yu Miaomiao would definitely not have any contact with Ziren anymore, and she also believed that Api would not continue to tell Ziren what the three of them had talked about. She was not planning to take down the murderer right now. Her primary target was still Qiang and Yiwan Watt, no matter how old they were. After all, they were the ones who posed a direct threat to her.
But she was also wondering, when people are in trouble, will they really go against their original intentions and human nature so easily?
"Is Pipi here? Thank you for your trust and for continuing to talk to me. I was just recalling how Ziren has indeed been much stranger since he was kidnapped. He's been asking me a lot about Sister Miaomiao, and I foolishly told him some of it, including the card you mentioned about restoring the world order. It's a good thing I didn't ask Sister Miaomiao too much before, or I'd be a sinner."
If he started to inquire about his own affairs as soon as he was kidnapped, it would be different from what Yu Miaomiao thought, that is, he would have reached a dead end. He would confess almost everything as soon as he was beaten.
Even the bad guys who were poisoned by her would tell a mixed story of truth and lies instead of spilling the beans.
Moreover, if Ziren told everything he knew, he would no longer be of any new use and would continue to be poisoned, unless he continued to look for Api to obtain information. In that case, what would be the difference between him and being in cahoots with the bad guys?
"Pangpang: Ah Pi, although you and Ziren grew up together, and he was indeed a good person and treated you very well, I still advise you to be more cautious. He might betray his friends today, and he might do the same to you tomorrow... Of course, the choice is yours."
"Is Pipi here? No wonder Ziren kept asking about Lulu's expedition after her ranking improved, even saying he could help if she needed weapons. Turns out he was asking on behalf of someone else... Lulu, I'm sorry, I almost hurt you."
"Pangpang: I'm fine now, so don't blame yourself. Luckily, Sister Miaomiao was here today, so I was able to get the information out of them and resolve a problem. I feel like since they knew my identity, they didn't want to kill me, but rather capture me alive, like last time. So even if Sister Miaomiao hadn't come, I should still have some value and wouldn't die so easily."
"Is Pipi here? I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Can you tell me what that organization is like?"
Looking at the popular science content sent out by Lulu, Yu Miaomiao was glad to have Lulu.
After all, she, Api and Lulu only met in the apocalypse, so Lulu might be better at saying some things.
The group chat was intermittent, the candlelight in the room crackled, night and hail fell at the same time, and her heart was lifted again.
Xiaoguai...will you come again?
The hailstorms at night became more frequent day by day, and each one lasted longer and longer. She repaired the stone wall, but it was broken again. However, in order to resist the monsters for a while longer, she continued to repair it.
As the last "ping pong" sound ended, silence returned outside the house. Yu Miaomiao walked out the door and exhaled a breath of white air.
It was less than an hour into the night and the temperature outside was already close to zero degrees Celsius. The fire could no longer be lit, so she had no choice but to spend a huge amount of money - 8 portions of slime - to buy two outdoor stoves at the mall.
The outdoor stove is a round iron tool with wood in the middle. A conical smoke hole is connected to the top of the iron tool area. The blazing flames gather at the top of the stove to form a flame lighting device.
Outside the stone wall, Yu Miaomiao was roasting chunks of wolf meat while using a food processor to make raspberry-stuffed mammoth meat.
10 minutes passed.
20 minutes passed.
30 minutes later, she finished eating the dark cuisine meat, but the zebra cat that came every night still hadn't arrived, and she became more and more anxious.
Did something happen to Xiaoguai?
What could stump such a powerful monster? Could it be a human?
She quickly went to the world chat to see if anyone had mentioned zebra cats or zebra tigers. She flipped through more than a dozen pages but didn't see anyone mention it.
Is it because I have been in a hibernation state that Xiaoguai can’t find me?
No, Xiaoguai clearly indicated with contempt that it found it by the smell of the cushion. But instead of attracting Xiaoguai, it attracted a bunch of monsters.
So where is Xiaoguai now? Will anything happen if it meets humans?
Yu Miaomiao thought about it carefully. No matter in the desert or in the exploration area, it seemed that no one could get any advantage from it. The injuries on her body were always related to the vines. Even she herself could only use her goodwill to defeat the final boss. She should trust Xiaoguai.
The temperature outside was dropping little by little. She had already roasted 20 pieces of meat, but there was still no sign of it.
The fire was getting smaller and smaller, almost going out. She blew her nose, her face numb from the cold. She could only place the roasted meat in the feeder and the insulated box respectively, hoping that Xiaoguai, who came later, would find food.
She looked back every three steps, and only after confirming that there was no familiar figure did she enter the house.
Alternating between cold and hot, the body was instantly wrapped in warmth, and the whole person felt light-headed.
She tried her best to cheer herself up and devote herself to the practice of tortoise breathing.
The effect of her turtle breath is now significant. When she moves slowly and performs basic daily actions, she can ensure that she will not be noticed by monsters. In the future, it will be just around the corner for her to enter the turtle breath state while running.

Wang Bingliang was staring at his holographic screen in a daze when he heard the sound of a wine bottle smashing next to him and his brows unconsciously frowned.
"Oh my god! That monster outside has broken our planting box. How can it be so powerful? Isn't the planting box protected against 10,000,000 non-human attacks? How can it break through? What if it attacks us? Lao Wang, how can you still keep your composure?"
Chen Qiang was so anxious that he was spinning in place, holding a shotgun in his hand. He didn't know whether to go out or not.
Seeing the person on the sofa staring at the holographic screen without saying a word, Chen Qiang became even more furious. He slapped Wang Bingliang on the back of the head and said, "I'm talking to you, what the hell are you thinking about?"
Wang Bingliang's head was suddenly hit by this strong force. He didn't pay attention for a moment and almost fell off the sofa. He could no longer hide his emotions and shouted, "If you are so anxious, why don't you go out and fight yourself? What's the point of getting angry at me?"
He never told Chen Qiang about Li Quanren. This was one of his trump cards, but he didn't expect that Li Quanren would die.
Thinking about the life and death experiences they had gone through together, Wang Bingliang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Li Quanren died after entering the expedition site where Lulu was. His last news was that Meowth was not short of water and was also in the expedition site, and there was no more information after that.
At first, Wang Bingliang was quite confident in him. Be it his marksmanship, fighting skills, invisible clothes and silent shoes, you know, Li Quanren is also a first-class killer. But after his last words, there was no news for more than two hours, until his nickname went offline in the friend list, and he was completely declared dead.
What exactly happened in these two hours?
Was it the monster that killed him, or was he killed by those two men? Did they ask about his affairs before they killed him? Wang Bingliang had a lot of questions in his mind, but no one to ask.
"You keep calling each other brother all the time, but now that the monster is here, what's the point of hiding here? Now you're yelling at me. Are you tired of living?" Chen Qiang was already anxious, and when he saw that the usually taciturn and obedient Wang Bingliang dared to jump up and yell at him, he felt even more embarrassed.
Wang Bingliang collected his thoughts, stood up, and looked out the window: "Did you ask about the method of dealing with monsters before?"
"How can I ask? That woman is just playing with me, how can I ask?" Chen Qiang said impatiently, "Why don't you go and ask her? She might be wary of me. You've never been there before, so just treat it as asking for information about the expedition."
"I'll go meet that monster first." Wang Bingliang took out a sniper rifle, put on protective equipment, walked out the door, and called on other brothers as he walked.
