Chapter 21 Desert Survival Day 5 (2) Thanks for the invitation, but there is no...
Unexpectedly, it attracted the attention of the poster so quickly, and Yu Miaomiao replied without thinking.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Thank you for the invitation, but I have no plans to join the union at the moment."
"Yang Haotian: Okay, if you change your mind, please feel free to contact me. Oh, and can you share more of this kind of combat knowledge with me in the future?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Don't worry, I will reply to your post if there is any new battle information. After all, your post has been seen by many people, and I also want more humans to survive."
The other party did not reply, and Yu Miaomiao did not care. After thinking about it, she sent a message to "Pipi" anyway. She didn't know whether the other party survived last night.
"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: Good morning, Api-san. Do you have any new work orders?"
This was the message she sent out after two minutes of organizing it.
Asking "Hello, are you alive?" also seems a bit inappropriate.
Ask "How was your battle last night?" If the opponent is bleeding, it seems that you can't help.
But the message fell on deaf ears, with no response at all. Could it be...that he met with an accident?
Yu Miaomiao felt a little uncomfortable thinking about this. After four days of getting along, although Pipi was just an online friend, he was also a rare good partner in this real survival world.
She checked her stamina, which had dropped to 24. The only food in her backpack was a steamed bun and a long-treasured chicken wing. Her hands and body were still stained with chicken blood from last night. She was afraid of using her dirty hands to grab the steamed bun, as it would have a strange taste in her mouth. She then turned her gaze to the workbench.
I collected all the materials for the drilling kit yesterday. Since there are no wild beast attacks during the day, I might as well make this thing first. If there is water, at least I can wash my hands.
Open the umbrella, walk to the workbench, open the life column, find the drilling kit, and click to synthesize.
Yu Miaomiao was in front of the workbench and felt the wound on her arm was a little itchy. She gently pulled off the bandage on her arm and saw that the wound had healed, with only a little scab left. She didn't expect that the first aid kit sent by the system would be so effective.
The drilling kit crafting materials in the backpack have been deducted, and crafting instructions appear on the workbench.
The first step is to make a well digger.
She followed the demonstration steps and made a simple triangular hanging tower with wood, then chiseled a spiral iron column in the air, and finally cut and welded the machine to install a rotating handle on the top of the column.
During the process, Yu Miaomiao felt a little strange. Although a lot of materials were used, they all became mini versions on the workbench, just like a handicraft of playing house.
The second step is to make the well wall.
First, use a cutting machine to cut the stone into slabs. These are called slabs, but they are actually small stones about one centimeter long. Glue them into a cylindrical hollow tube according to the example steps.
The third and final step is to make the bucket and the windlass.
Buckets are made from wood cut into uniform planks that are screwed together.
As for the windlass, it is made by gluing the remaining stones together to form a semicircular wellhead, and then tying a rope next to the well digging device bracket.
I didn’t expect that this well digging machine bracket can be used for both digging wells and taking out water buckets.
After the entire production process was completed, there was a short example diagram of how to use it. Yu Miaomiao stared at it several times to confirm that she understood it before putting the entire kit back into her backpack.
After doing all this, she was exhausted. She looked at the time and saw that it took more than 40 minutes. Her strength had dropped to 18. She was so hungry that she took out the steamed bun and started to eat it.
While eating, Yu Miaomiao could still smell the unpleasant smell of blood on her hands. Until the very end was left, she was so overwhelmed by the odor that she could no longer swallow it, and she reluctantly threw away the small piece of food she was holding.
It is estimated that after coming to this apocalypse, even the most extravagant person will become extremely frugal here.
Before making this drilling kit, Yu Miaomiao knew that "the drilling kit can drill a well anywhere", but whether there is water in the drilled place and how much water there is is also very important.
Only then did she remember the functional reward for completing the hidden task (1) last night - primary resource exploration.
Reopening the holographic system interface, a magnifying glass button appeared in the upper left corner.
After touching it, an incomplete map appears, mostly covered by black shadows, with an irregular square area lit in the center of the map.
There is a little human cursor in this area. As Yu Miaomiao moves, the cursor moves with her. It should be her.
So this is a world map?
There is a small button in the upper right corner of the map interface——[Resource Search]
After touching it, a ripple of light appeared on the map, and then three small blue water droplets appeared in the illuminated area.
Yu Miaomiao guessed that the small water droplets should be water resources.
After zooming in on the map with two fingers, you can see that the water droplets are of different sizes, which probably represents the amount of water resources.
Yu Miaomiao stood in place and turned 360 degrees, determined the direction of the cursor arrow, and according to the map, walked to the point marked with the largest water droplet, which was about 20 meters away from her cabin.
As she walked, a small area of the black shadow on the map was brightened, which was the area she could currently see.
So she can explore the world to polish the entire map and search for resources all over the world?
Now that the visible area was a little larger, she wanted to try another resource search to see if there were any larger water sources nearby.
【Resource Search】Why is it gray?
Yu Miaomiao clicked and the system beeped.
[System Tips: The primary resource search function can only be used once within 24 hours. The search range is limited to areas that the player has explored. The types of searched resources depend on the events and items encountered by the player.]
So this is the beginner level, which can only be used once in 24 hours. If it reaches the intermediate or advanced level, can it be used more frequently? However, the system did not tell her how to upgrade.
No, Yu Miaomiao looked carefully at the top of the map again. There was a very small progress bar. The progress bar only moved forward a little bit, so it was not obvious.
Is this the progress bar for the upgrade of the map search function?
Yu Miaomiao didn't receive any response.
And what does it mean that "the types of search resources depend on the events and items encountered by the player".
The items are easy to understand. If Yu Miaomiao has been in contact with water, he can search for water resources. But what about events?
Yu Miaomiao once again felt the pitfalls of this doomsday system, which didn't explain anything clearly.
She checked the map again and found that the water droplets at her current location were twice as large as the two next to it, so there must be a lot of water underground.
This is it!
Yu Miaomiao was just about to take out the finished drilling kit from her backpack when she heard a message alert.
"Is Pipi here? Sister Miaomiao, this morning... is not very good."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: What's wrong?"
"Is Pipi here? I was hit by a rabbit last night and just woke up. I think my leg is dislocated."
It does sound bad. Dislocations usually need to be reduced manually, but who can reduce it in this deserted place?
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I saw someone mentioned that if you get hit by a silver rabbit and suffer internal injuries, you can slowly recover by restoring your stamina. Do you want to try eating something to see if that helps?"
"Is Pipi here? I'm out of food right now. I can't move at all. I can only hold an umbrella and use a few unlucky rabbits as cushions. But I can feel my butt getting hotter and hotter. I estimate it will be burned to pieces by the afternoon."
It's such a late hour and he can still joke.
Yu Miaomiao only had a steamed bun, a chicken wing, and a portion of matcha ice cream, but Pipi was allergic to milk and couldn't eat it. Thinking that Pipi was a fan of chicken wings, she didn't like it that much either.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I still have a chicken wing. Oh, right, didn't I exchange a bottle of energy drink for you yesterday? Drinking it can temporarily increase your physical strength. Do you want to try it?"
"Is Pipi here? Chicken wings! I'm craving them! I finished my energy drink fighting those lousy rabbits last night."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Then I'll give you another bottle and some chicken wings, and see if it works?"
"Is Pipi here? Really? Sister Miaomiao, what do you want to exchange for it?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Wait until you are not scalded to death before you tell me what to give me."
"Is Pipi here? Hehehe, with friendship drinks and spicy chicken wings, even the devil can't take me away."
Yu Miaomiao didn't say much to him. She first sent a transaction request to the other party and put a bottle of functional drink on it.
This is the only way Yu Miaomiao can help Pippi at the moment, the rest depends on him.
Returning to the holographic image, Yu Miaomiao aimed the drilling kit in her backpack at the point of the small water droplet and clicked to use it.
After the placement was completed, a machine four meters wide and eight meters high appeared before our eyes.
The machine was mounted on a tripod stand, but this stand was dozens of times larger than the one she was operating on the workbench.
A tubular stone well wall is hung upside down above the machine, and a well drilling cone is below it.
Turn the rotary handle on the machine, and the drill will start to drill downward, and the well wall will shrink a little downward.
It looks like it was embedded into the well wall while being drilled.
Yu Miaomiao had to use all her strength to slowly turn the handle. Thinking of the endless water in the future, she gritted her teeth and gave it a try!
Halfway through the turn, she felt she was overdrawn and quickly drank half a bottle of energy drink.
As the machine turned, a steady stream of soil was blown out from the top of the drill hole, splashing all over Yu Miaomiao's face.
As she pulled the dirt off her face, she turned the handle, and the dirt on her face gradually turned into mud until water began to seep out of the drill hole.
There is water at last!!!
Yu Miaomiao was so excited that she couldn't express it in words. This was the Gobi Desert, which was extremely short of water!
I turned it a couple more times and found that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't turn it down any further. It seemed that it couldn't be chiseled any further.
Turn the handle in the opposite direction to retract the drilling cone, and then push the bracket to turn the cone upside down in the air, and a well will leak water.
Yu Miaomiao couldn't wait to lie down at the mouth of the well and look. Unexpectedly, the water inside was very clean. She couldn't wait to fill a bottle to see if she could drink it.
Use a rope to string the bucket to the bracket, put it in the well, shake the rope slightly, and the bucket will be filled with water. Turn the handle again to retract the bucket.
Looking at the clear well water, this was her happiest moment in the past five days.
