Chapter 172 Desert Survival Day 25 (10) It actually...
Just monkeys?
For the simplest Dark Oasis, the final Boss will also change, that is, it will always copy the strongest monster that the current player has encountered. The subsequent adventure areas will only become more and more bizarre and changeable.
This kind of adventure site update and optimization, with gradually increasing difficulty, is it for a single survivor or for some people?
If this is the case for everyone, then the earlier you go, the sooner you can pass the level, and it will be easier for those who come later.
Should she say all this?
Currently, the only ones who can enter the expedition area and make such fast progress are Iris, Huabie and herself. Yu Miaomiao said that if she explores slowly, the expedition area will change according to the response strategies adopted by those who arrived first, and then her situation will become more difficult.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: From my several expeditions, I feel that this game system, especially the exploration areas that provide abundant resources, is constantly being updated. It's not just about that blood monkey. The purpose is probably to make the strong stronger, more like the survival of the fittest."
If it was just a beta test server, with 100,000 people testing this broken system, it would be entirely possible to just fix some bugs or areas that the designers felt were not working well, and there would be no need to make things even more difficult for the survivors.
Not only did it increase the difficulty, change the natural disaster environment, strengthen the adventure area, but it was even attracting new ordinary people to the apocalypse and dividing so many servers. Yu Miaomiao vaguely felt that the system had this intention.
If it was really as she guessed, she didn't need to be on guard against Hua Bie. There would be no situation where one of them would eliminate the other. She needed an ally, someone who could discover and solve problems with her.
"Hua Bie: The rankings, the difficulty upgrades in the apocalypse, the natural disaster changes, all seem to confirm what you said. Do you think that if we really follow the system's instructions and collect all the cards to restore the world order, this apocalypse will be able to return to normal, and can we all return to the real world?"
She sensed his frustration in his words.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Yes, this game is a rip-off. If it does all this just to make us collect these cards, it's disgusting and unnecessary. As for whether it has other problems or intentions, I don't know. Perhaps we are being watched every moment of our lives now? But this is something we can't change for now. The only chance we have to change it is to collect those cards. If we do collect those cards and the system still won't let us go back, we won't lose much. At least we will become stronger and become the strong ones who stay."
Yu Miaomiao said this to him because she felt that Hua Bie seemed to be slacking off. It was not because he was lazy, but because he had given up on himself.
He had been ranked first in many rankings before. Although his progress was still higher than his own, it was only slightly higher. Unlike Iris, who was desperately rushing forward, he seemed to have done so, using the adventure to kill time, but he did not give his all.
Iris is strong, but it is useless if there are only one or two strong people who want to change the world. No one knows which will come first, an accident or tomorrow. If Iris encounters an accident, no one will be willing to continue this matter except Yu Miaomiao.
If Hua Bie really lost the idea of fighting, Yu Miaomiao felt a little sad when she thought of this.
It's like losing a comrade.
"Hua Bie: Do you remember you told me that you always felt like someone was watching you when you were doing something, but you were clearly in the room with no one around you?"
"Hua Bie: At the time, I told you no, but later I did realize it. It was during my first Dark Oasis game, when I seemed to be the only one who caught those eyes when I did something out of the ordinary. If we were truly like goldfish trapped in a bathtub, all I really wanted was to have enough food and water, and for no one to bully me or the people I care about. I didn't want to play tricks on them."
He only had one.
But during the 25 days that Yu Miaomiao has been here, she has often felt the same way, and this feeling of being stared at is different from that in Devil's Bay.
She really felt that there was a real eye in Devil's Bay, but she just didn't find it. In her apocalyptic life, she felt like she was living in a huge surveillance system, which was creepy but helpless.
She had wondered before whether she was acting out her current difficult life on other people's TV, just like in The Truman Show.
But so what? It's good enough for her to be alive. The better she lives, the more likely she is to break free from this world and let those observers know that the current model cannot hold her in. It would be best if one day she could directly break through this world and make all the mechanisms disappear.
"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: I used to work part-time at a cat cafe. Some cats are very cooperative, while others are very lazy. The most cooperative cats often get more cat food and more petting. For cats, this cooperation is simply a matter of mutual benefit. If we were cats, we would first have good cat food, nutritious food, and a good living environment. If we ever really tired of the cat cafe and wanted to escape, we would have the ability and strength to do so, rather than being those clumsy cats who sleep forever, never moving, and struggle to even jump onto a stool."
Rather than ornamental goldfish, which she doesn't think are ornamental, she prefers cats, which have their own will and ideas.
"Huabie: Why...are you telling me this?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Because... you are strong, I hope we can find a way to return to the real world together."
In fact, she said this for other complicated reasons. She remembered that this person gave her a book on Turtle Breathing at the beginning, a secret book that seemed useless at first, but provided a lot of help in her later battles.
Until now, the two of them have always been able to share battle information and provide assistance to each other. She is afraid that this mutual support will eventually become her alone.
"Hua Bie: Okay, then I will continue to be strong, and I hope you will too."
Hua Bie sat on the equally soft big sofa, facing the holographic screen, and said to himself, I hope I can go back with you.
Yu Miaomiao turned off the holographic system and got up from the sofa. The outside was shrouded in darkness. It hadn't hailed yet, so she could go out and wait for Xiaoguai.
The metal wall has been completed. The four or five-meter-long bronze rust-colored wall gave her a full sense of security. There was also a circle of anti-climbing iron spikes on the wall. The entire spike was in the shape of an inverted cone, which not only did not give animals the opportunity to climb over, but also could catch birds flying low.
The door is open and the meat is grilled, and Xiaoguai comes.
This time it only brought three glowing wolves, or to be more precise, it dragged three of them by the tails.
"Little cutie, here you are, my baby!"
Yu Miaomiao greeted him enthusiastically.
"Meow~"
Just seeing this round, furry tiger face would put her in a good mood.
After stabbing the wolf to death with three knives and dismembering it, Yu Miaomiao took the roasted meat in his hands.
She wanted to trick Xiaoguai into the house when he was the hungriest, and she only had 5 days to simulate entering the house.
But as soon as she raised the roasted wolf meat, it took a big bite, its whiskers twitching, a cunning light in its eyes, and it let out a "meow" - look, I got it.
So fast, Xiaoguai is twice as fast today than before.
It turned out that she could still retract the backpack when she held it in her hand. Today, the entire process of snatching food was like a flash of lightning, faster than she could react and retract the system.
It's getting stronger again.
If it weren't for the familiar look, Yu Miaomiao would have suspected that Xiaoguai was another zebra cat.
Evolved?
Yu Miaomiao looked at Xiaoguai.
The body shape hasn't changed, but what's going on with these tight muscles?
When I touched it, it felt so hard and firm.
The fur was as soft and fluffy as before, but the flesh on its body was obviously much firmer. Even as it kept twisting and rubbing its head, its muscles moved along with it. The texture in her hands made her sigh... Xiaoguai had indeed changed.
She simply couldn't...press any of its muscles. Except for its head and chin which were a little soft, its entire body was completely stiff.
The innocent face and fluffy hair, coupled with this physique, made her love him even more, and her sense of security increased ten thousand times.
No, we must trick it in as soon as possible.
The piece of meat was snatched away quickly. She planned to stand at the door and take it out to lure it out, so that when Xiaoguai pounced on her, she could close the door and lock it in.
Just as she was walking back, Xiaoguai followed her.
The furry head pressed against her arm, never leaving.
What's going on? Isn't Xiaoguai usually very resistant to her small yard and house? Why is he willing to follow her today?
Yu Miaomiao stood at the stairs and asked tentatively, "Xiaoguai, can you come home with me and go into the house?"
"Meow." - OK.
It actually said yes! It actually agreed! There's no need to lie anymore!
After walking up the narrow stairs, Yu Miaomiao opened the door, and Xiaoguai followed her closely, holding her back, and went into the house with her.
The zebra cat's body suddenly filled more than half of the room, and it had to lower its head and lie down comfortably on the ground.
Is it working again?
Yu Miaomiao was very puzzled by Xiaoguai's sudden obedience.
After closing the iron door, she took out the barbecue and put it next to its mouth. Xiaoguai stuck out his tongue and rolled the barbecue into his mouth. He lay on the ground, holding the piece of meat with his two paws and began to lick and bite it, looking like he was enjoying it very much.
Could it be that it felt cold outside and its house was warm, so it was willing to come in?
Or does it not like the previous stone wall?
No, it was very difficult for it to get into the wooden house before.
"Xiaoguai, will you live with me from now on?" Yu Miaomiao asked her wish.
"Meow——" - Not good.
not good?
Yu Miaomiao sat on the warm floor, stroking its fur along its back, and asked, "Why? Do you have to leave during the day, when the sun is shining?"
As soon as she said the word "why", she realized that the question was beyond the scope, so she immediately added the rest of the question and pointed to the sky outside the window.
Xiaoguai was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction its finger was pointing, and then replied, "Meow-Woo" - yes, it's not safe.
In the last syllable, she heard Xiaoguai's fear of the sky.
It seems that she doesn't need to catch a monster for experiment. Xiaoguai must hide somewhere during the day.
So what is there in that place that can protect it from the sun during the day.
Is there anything that can completely block the sunlight?
Or some special substance or environment.
