Chapter 163 Desert Survival Day 25 (1) Getting Ready to Pack Up...
Chen Qiang looked at the man's back in surprise, muttering to himself, "Isn't he usually the one who likes to hide in the background and make plans? How could someone who values his life so much be willing to go out today?"
Even though he racked his brains, he still couldn't figure it out. He had no choice but to put on warm clothes one by one. Finally, after making sure all the shields and armor were on, he walked out of the room and followed.
When he arrived at the scene, he saw a group of people surrounding Wang Bingliang and making a fuss.
"Brother Liang, you're amazing! You scared the monster away with just one shot."
"It has to be Brother Bingliang. Your spear and archery skills are second to none. Who dares to claim first place?"
"Oh - Brother Liang is awesome!"
It wasn't until the person at the back of the crowd saw Chen Qiang that he stammered, "Brother Qiang...you're here."
At this time, the crowd who were originally cheering turned their eyes to Chen Qiang who arrived late.
Being watched by so many people, everyone looked at him strangely. Chen Qiang immediately asked, "Old Wang, did you kill the monster?"
Wang Bingliang walked out of the crowd. Although his height and physique were of average quality, for some reason, he looked particularly eye-catching in Chen Qiang's eyes.
"I didn't kill it. I just shot it twice. The monster probably has never seen such a powerful weapon, so it ran away." The smugness in Wang Bingliang's eyes hurt Chen Qiang's self-esteem.
You know, when he first came to the apocalypse, Chen Qiang was also daring and daring, so he was ranked the highest in monster killing and exploration.
But the longer he survives here, the more he gets, whether it is the admiration of others or status, the more he doesn't want to lose it, and naturally he cherishes his life more.
Chen Qiang glanced at the gun in Wang Bingliang's hand and asked, "Is it a Pakistani sniper rifle? Did it hit? Will it attack again?"
Wang Bingliang's eyes darkened, and amidst the expectant gazes of those around him, he replied, "It missed. There might be a second attack."
Chen Qiang didn't respond, but pointed at a few people and said, "You, you, you... and you, stay with me for the first half of the night, and Lao Wang will stay for the second half."
With that, the silent crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only a few people who were named to follow, each standing on top of a turret.
Not long after they stood firm, hailstones suddenly fell. The people crowded in the conference room suddenly stopped talking about Chen Qiang. Those who gathered around the fireplace to keep warm began to recall how Chen Qiang had just arrived and led everyone to kill monsters. Wang Bingliang, standing in the middle of the crowd, said nothing.
After a while, a man crawled towards the turret where Chen Qiang was and whispered, "Boss, I just asked someone. When Wang Bingliang came out, he didn't rush to shoot. Instead, he went to the granary to observe for a while, then stayed in the armory, and finally went to the blacksmith's house to make a few noises, attracting everyone, and then went to the monster."
Chen Qiang sneered and asked, "And then?"
Lin Ruofan rubbed his red, frozen hands as a hand warmer was thrown towards him. He quickly breathed out the warm air and said, "Thank you, Brother Qiang, thank you, Brother Qiang." He then sprayed the monster twice with his shotgun, startling it. He then walked over to where the monster had been and took a few glances before firing two shots at the retreating monster, but the monster dodged both shots.
"Where is the monster?" Chen Qiang asked, "Did the monster avoid the shotgun?"
Lin Ruofan lay on the turret stairs, holding the ladder in one hand and a heat pack in the other, and said with difficulty, "Yes, it's the planter box. I brought it back yesterday. There's lettuce growing in that planter box. That zebra tiger is very agile. It can dodge such a close-range shotgun. Fortunately, it was focused on the planter box, otherwise at least half of our brothers outside would be dead. But boss, do you think this monster likes lettuce?"
"Tigers eat lettuce?" Chen Qiang muttered. "Anything else?"
"No more." Lin Ruofan stood obediently on the stairs and didn't dare to move without Chen Qiang's order.
Chen Qiang thought for a moment and said, "When the lettuce is ripe, remember to pick two for me."
"Okay." Lin Ruofan agreed, but still didn't move.
Chen Qiang was very satisfied with this obedient subordinate. He waved his hand and fell into deep thought.

The next morning, Yu Miaomiao woke up to the sound of rushing water.
Today was one of the rare times that she woke up in bed with the quilt covering her.
He opened the personal panel and added the two extra personal values to the strength value. Then he glanced at the cross-server chat again. There was still no one there, but next to the cross-server chat, there was an extra line of text: Current number of people in the cross-server world: 3, number of deaths: 0.
Three? Are there others?
Yu Miaomiao scanned the internal test server competition list and found out that it was those two people.
The water from the roof flowed down the window sill and dripped onto the sand. Looking around, there was a pool of water on the entire sand. The terrain where she lived was relatively high, so there was a thin layer of water from melted hail. Those who lived in low terrain might have a small puddle.
Checked the time.
Desert Survival Day 25 07:13
The sunlight reflected on the water surface, making it sparkle and even a little dazzling, and the water vapor was visibly evaporating.
The planting robot was hard at work, and she walked out the door to check the feeder.
The container was open, but only two pieces of meat were missing. The rest had been dried into semi-dried pieces. And what about the insulated box?
The half-open thermal box was empty, with only a small tray stuck inside. It must have been taken out by Xiaoguai when he was picking up the meat last night.
She put 10 pieces of roasted wolf meat in it, and she ate them all. What a greedy little cat.
Fortunately, it knew to come to me and was not hurt.
Last night, the three of them were chatting in a group. Lulu and Api chatted until very late. This morning, they hadn't received their good morning messages yet. Yu Miaomiao sent a message in first, "Good morning."
The stone wall was destroyed again. Looking along the dune slope, there was indeed some water at the bottom of the dune valley, about one or two centimeters thick. It would be great if all of it could be used directly.
At this point, she had to focus on the items in the newly released system synthesis guide.
Item Synthesis Guide
Scrap Iron Block*100 + Copper Block*33 + Iron Block*33 + Titanium Block*1 + Screw*66 = Iron Wall
Copper ingot * 88 + refined iron ingot * 12 + refined titanium ingot * 2 + screws * 100 + nylon cloth * 22 = granary
Scrap iron block*33 + copper casting block*18 + wood*50 + screws*30 + high-quality cloth*45 + nylon cloth*3 + wool*40 + fiber*30 = soft large sofa
28 copper ingots + 28 iron ingots + 200 wood + 40 screws + 90 high-quality cloth + 25 nylon cloth + 100 wool + 50 fiber = a soft bed
[After completing all item synthesis, you can unlock new item synthesis formulas and system functions. *Note: The iron wall needs to be synthesized 4 times to be considered complete.]
Originally, she hadn't planned to complete the items for this stage so quickly. Although these things didn't require many materials, the granary description said that it could store 99 pieces of planted food with 999 grams per grid. This thing was of no use to her at the moment and was more like something for group survivors.
But when she looked at the rankings just now, Du Qiang and Yang Haotian had surpassed her regardless of their age. She had to speed up and must not let these two people surpass her when the settlement was settled on the 30th.
After clicking to synthesize each item, she clearly felt that the speed of the hammer against the air had slowed down a lot. The synthesis of all the items in the previous stage took a total of five or six hours. According to the speed of hammering things today, it would probably take seven or eight hours. Everything would be done just in the evening.
At that time, these iron walls can be used to defend against monsters and resist hailstorms. I hope Xiaoguai won’t be scared by this thing.
Since the system is synthesizing items more and more slowly, according to Hammer's working time, even if she can't use the items at this stage, she has to synthesize them all. Otherwise, if she waits until the last day to synthesize them, she won't have enough time to surpass the other two people.
Fixed anchors and foundation connectors have already appeared in the previous stage. These two items are used on the hull, which are what you need when the ocean world comes.
The cross-server chat and trading function is also enabled after surviving at sea, which means that the average survivor's system synthesis guide unlocking progress defined by the system is to reach the synthesis level to unlock the cross-server chat function after surviving in the desert for 30 days.
Otherwise, without a fixed anchor, the hull will drift around.
Without a foundation connector, there is no way to connect the house where the current survivor is located to the hull.
Which one is the hull?
The foundation connector states that it can be connected to any floating object on the sea, but the area occupied by the floating object must be larger than the foundation area.
It seemed that her dragon boat could not connect to the foundation of the three-fold house. Only the float provided by the system in the previous stage would do. One piece was obviously not enough. She took out a piece from her backpack and gestured. She probably needed 48 more pieces.
It seems that from now on, the construction hammer cannot stop for a moment.
Two people soon said good morning to each other in the group chat. Yu Miaomiao thought of the two bandits that Api had encountered before, so she sent an inquiry message.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Api, I see you haven't moved. Did you encounter any problems? Have you dealt with the two people who were following you?"
"Is Pipi here? Wuuwuwu, Sister Miaomiao, I'm about to cry. You're actually willing to keep me here. Wuuwuwu, I thought you didn't want me anymore. I beat one of those bad guys to death, the other one to a pulp, and they ran away. But I don't dare come looking for you anymore, for fear that you'll think Ziren and I are in cahoots. I really don't mean to harm you."
"Pangpang: How could Sister Miaomiao blame you for Ziren's affairs? You are all independent individuals. If I didn't trust you, this group would have disbanded long ago."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Yeah, but if you come to my place, you may need to keep your distance from Ziren. After all, he..."
"Is Pipi here? I know. Sister Miaomiao, can I grow up with you for a while? Once I'm stronger, I'll go rescue Ziren myself... When he comes out, I'll definitely bring him to you and let you beat and scold him. But if you don't want to see him, I'll beat him up for you and never bring him with me again."
"Pangpang: Ziren is already in this state, and you still want to save him? Aren't you afraid of being implicated by him?"
"Is Pipi here? I still don't think Ziren would do that. He must have his reasons, but it's not convenient for me to ask him directly right now. But I promise, I won't tell him anything about the three of us until I meet him and confirm he's not a bad guy. After we take down those bad guys like Yang Haotian and No Matter How Old, we'll talk about it."
"Pangpang: If it's really because of Ziren that we can't go home, or if Sister Miaomiao and I die in vain at the hands of bad guys, Ah Pi, remember to help us get revenge."
Seeing Lulu speak so solemnly and bluntly, Yu Miaomiao was about to say something when she saw the message from Api.
"Is Pipi here? Well, you don't need to tell me, I will be the first to take action, no matter if it's those who harmed you or Ziren. If Ziren really turns bad, I will not show any mercy."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Okay, just keep it in mind."
Because of the relationship with Api, Yu Miaomiao is actually helpless. She has not suffered any substantial harm after being informed, but this kind of harm will definitely not show up overnight.
Especially regarding the Fix the World Order card.
Those people didn't know about this originally, but now that they know, they are all gathering the resources of the union and the group to improve the system synthesis progress. Therefore, Yu Miaomiao has become much more passive. Even if there are some items that are not used at the moment, she can only bite the bullet and synthesize them all, and try to get ahead of them.
Perhaps it was because they knew this, and that no matter how old they were, they were strong, that they found a way to reach some kind of agreement with Yang Haotian and provided him with gemstone support. This was all a series of chain reactions after Ziren turned against them.
But in other words, if Api can get some information from Ziren, it will also be helpful in dealing with bad guys in the future.
Yu Miaomiao sighed as she finished a running salad and prepared to pack up and head to a new adventure destination.
