Chapter 212: Survival at Sea, Day 3 (1) Confirming Identity…
Yu Miaomiao stood up by holding the back of the bed, and as the boat shook violently, she looked out the window with difficulty.
The sky was gloomy and huge waves came like wild beasts, roaring and crashing into her float.
At first glance, the towering waves coming from afar seemed to be rushing towards her, and they would probably not break her boat apart.
Yu Miaomiao looked at the time.
[Survival at Sea Day 3 07:04 Breeze]
This is called a breeze?
Is a breeze a breeze that can whip up waves three or four stories high? But what about a gale or a hurricane?
I guess it’s enough to smash the float directly.
Now she understood why there were metal floats in the later stages of the system synthesis guide.
At first, she wondered if a metal float could float in such waves. But then she thought, if it was a system-programmed float, it would definitely float. Now, it seemed, it was designed to withstand rough seas.
Yu Miaomiao lay on the windowsill and carefully observed the situation outside the house. After confirming that all the rafts were intact, she grabbed the edge of the bed and squatted down to see what happened to Xiaoguai.
"vomit--"
Xiaoguai continued to vomit, and Yu Miaomiao was still swaying back and forth with the hull.
Yu Miaomiao patted its back and said, "Little cutie, what's wrong with you?"
Is it because of seasickness?
Xiaoguai just kept digging into the ground with her claws and leaning her back against her bed to prevent herself from rolling with the movement of the boat.
Yu Miaomiao glanced at the sunken corner of the sofa. It looked like it had been hit before. Fortunately, her bed had been upgraded. If the whole bed had not flipped at a 45-degree angle, the edge of the bed would still be able to support her.
Unless, like now.
As the high wave hit, her boat swayed sixty degrees, and then rushed down with the waves, flowing quickly on the sea.
The float was shaking so violently that, as a land creature, it must have been seasick.
She had spun even harder in the zorb ball before, so this little shaking was nothing to her, but Xiaoguai certainly couldn't stand it. She quickly took out a motion sickness pill and was about to stuff it into Xiaoguai's mouth.
As soon as its tongue touched the pill, it quickly spat it out, and the expression on its face became even uglier.
Bitter..
Yu Miaomiao couldn't tell Xiaoguai that good medicine tastes bitter, so she could only take out a small piece of roasted wolf meat, stuff the pill into the meat, and then hand the meat to Xiaoguai.
The next moment, another wave came over and the float tilted again. It lost its strength in trying to grab the piece of meat handed to it by Yu Miaomiao and rolled directly to the corner of the house.
Seeing this, Yu Miaomiao quickly held onto the beam in the house, picked up the piece of meat, grabbed Xiaoguai, and stuffed the piece of meat directly into its mouth.
Xiaoguai, who was originally feeling nauseous, smelled the familiar smell and swallowed it subconsciously. The expression on his face immediately changed from pain to enjoyment.
It is indeed a greedy cat.
Before the next wave arrived, Yu Miaomiao struggled to hold Xiaoguai's body, trapping it in a corner so that it could digest the pill as quickly as possible. At the same time, he clicked the construction hammer to start making a new foundation connector.
She remembered that there was an item in her backpack, a gyroscope, which seemed to be able to reduce the shaking of the hull on the sea, but it required a connector to use.
She wasn't sure how many she would need for a house four times the size of hers, and since she only had three gyroscopes, she decided to make three connectors first.
But we have to wait until the gyroscope is made, at least until after tonight. At present, the construction hammer is still hammering the items in the current synthesis guide.
Looking at the long queue and the slowly hammering construction hammer.
Now there are two choices. Eat quick fried rice or make the construction hammer faster. But no matter how fast it is, it will be night before all the connectors are made. Does she want to be swayed by the waves all day?
Another option is to buy it directly.
She is currently working slowly because there are too many materials. Is there anyone who can sell this connector?
She searched and found that someone was selling it. Although the price was twice as much as making the item, it was worth it if she could use it immediately.
After purchasing it at the auction house, the item is installed using the hull design instrument.
The wave that was about to come was just around the corner, but the hull did not tilt as expected. The tilt that was supposed to be 60 degrees became about 45 degrees, which was slightly smaller than before.
Xiaoguai next to him was able to stand up steadily by holding on to the floor. He did not fall even though his body tilted sideways. His eyes were full of curiosity and he seemed to find it very fun.
What a heartless cat! It seems both the gyroscope and motion sickness medicine are useful.
She needed to keep her construction hammer to make the metal floats and other items later, so she simply canceled the foundation connector that was originally in the construction queue and bought the remaining two from the auction house.
After looking at the hull structure, I think one more can be installed, but the current one is enough.
When the next wave came, the house only shook twice, without any large amplitude. Even Xiaoguai could walk around the house leisurely.
The zebra cat, who had just been lying on the ground retching, was now sniffing at the door of the house.
Before, it would sniff everywhere to familiarize itself with the environment, but now it only sniffs towards the door. Why?
Immediately afterwards, Yu Miaomiao heard a whistle. Just as she was about to see what happened, there was a violent crash from underground.
It turned out that a monster was attacking her ship, so the sensor made a sound. She turned on the instrument and saw that it was indeed under attack.
It was just cloudy outside, the sun blocked by the sea fog. Although the weather didn't say it was going to rain, she still put on all her waterproof suits just in case.
I opened the door and walked out, but I didn't see any claws like I did on the first day. There were no monsters on the sea.
"Bang——"
There was another crash under the raft.
What is this thing? Yu Miaomiao took out the biological sensor and took a picture of it.
The screen shows "0.5 meters, pearl oyster"
mussel?
It turned out to be a clam that hit her boat.
She scanned the area with the instrument and found nothing else.
How many are there?
She wasn't sure how big this pearl oyster was, but she couldn't always rely on pigweed to devour monsters. These 20 days of survival at sea were still a long time, and she didn't know what kind of large monsters she would encounter that she couldn't deal with.
Dealing with clams shouldn't be that difficult, she thought. She just needed to pry open the shell and crush the meat.
With the impact of the clam shell, the original waves gradually calmed down and the "breeze" on the sea gradually dissipated.
Yu Miaomiao waited for a few times and confirmed that the clam shell hit the ship about once a minute. There was no other part of the hull that felt this way, so there should be only one.
Immediately after the next impact, she dove headfirst into the water.
With the help of the strong light of the newly purchased underwater searchlight, we found the clam shell.
The moment she saw the clam shell, she wanted to go back.
This is not a clam shell, it's a sea urchin.
The sea urchin-like clam covered with sharp spines noticed Yu Miaomiao the moment she appeared.
Just when it was about to hit the float, it stopped its upward movement and swam straight towards Yu Miaomiao.
Because she was underwater, she couldn't maintain the turtle breathing state, and the clam was moving very fast in the water, leaving her no chance to climb back onto the float.
She took out her broadsword and stabbed it into the slightly opened gap of the clam shell. At the same time, the sharp sea urchin-shaped spines stabbed into her shield.
The durability was not reduced much, but her simple mask was punctured.
Seawater poured into the mask, and the white clam shell instantly lost its vitality. After the wisdom value increased, even the knife skills became much more accurate.
Yu Miaomiao hurriedly put the body back into her backpack and swam quickly back to the float.
He took off his mask and lay on the float, gasping for breath.
As soon as she found that water had entered her mask, she held her breath. She was not good at holding her breath to begin with, and just those few tens of seconds made her so short of breath that she felt dizzy.
Xiaoguai had also followed Yu Miaomiao into the water, but when Yu Miaomiao disappeared at sea, he became extremely anxious.
Because in the process of getting along with this human, it would always lose the scent of this human from time to time. If it had not deliberately left its own scent on this human, it would often not be able to find her.
After seeing her sink into the sea, it wanted to follow her, but because it couldn't hold its breath, it could only paddle around on the water surface. The moment it saw her emerge from the water, it happily swam over and went ashore with her.
When Miaomiao was lying down to rest, Xiaoguai stuck out his tongue and licked her cheek.
Yu Miaomiao pushed him away and said, "Okay, okay, your tongue doesn't sting me anymore, and don't keep licking me. You're drooling a lot, Xiaoguai. Why are you becoming more and more like a dog?"
After she said that, she was stunned. Is it possible that Xiaoguai is a dog by nature, but the system has modeled him as a cat?
Because it is a dog by nature, it is very loyal to itself. Even if it is a planter box that once belonged to Yu Miaomiao, it will spontaneously help her get it back. It is so protective of its owner, just like a puppy, man's best friend.
Thinking of this, Yu Miaomiao climbed up, hugged Xiaoguai's head, and rubbed it a few times until Xiaoguai walked away with a look of fear on his face and hid aside, meowing.
Hungry again...
Just after I went into the water, I saw this dog and cat following me in. Was he looking for her? No, was he looking for her, the feeder?
Yu Miaomiao took out the grilled meat and handed it over, and at the same time took out the pearl oyster shell she had just killed and disassembled it.
As Xiaoguai took a bite of the barbecue, he saw the corpse of a white monster appear on the float. The meat in his mouth instantly lost its flavor, and he hurriedly walked over in small steps, humming "meow meow" continuously.
“Meow—”
Want to eat.
Yu Miaomiao pinched the corner of the spike and asked, "Are you sure you want to eat this?"
"Meow."
Well, since it wants to eat, Yu Miaomiao can’t do anything about it.
Seeing that she agreed, Xiaoguai immediately started to bite the clam shell.
I saw it stepping on several sharp spines at the seam of the clam shell with one claw, and hooking a sea urchin spine with the other claw, and prying it open with force, the seam of the shell was directly pried open by its great force.
That's quite a trick.
After the clam shell was opened, the clam meat inside leaked out. Xiaoguai started eating it without hesitation, making a smacking sound.
Looking at the pieces of barbecue discarded on the ground, Yu Miaomiao's thought about Xiaoguai was that she could only spoil him.
As the clam shell disappeared, the waves began to roll again, but with the gyroscope, the float was very stable and there was no discomfort when the waves hit my body from time to time.
Yu Miaomiao started eating this morning's food as soon as she had time, while browsing the information she had not had time to read.
"Hua Bie: We've encountered a group of people from the Tiandihui here. There might be some conflicts, which will slow down our progress today, but don't worry, we can handle it."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: OK."
Sure enough, after entering the sea world, the probability of meeting other people will become higher. I don’t know if it is an unintentional effect of the waves or a deliberate effect of the system.
But Yu Miaomiao always felt that it was the system that did it on purpose. Lulu also explained the same situation to Hua Bie and reminded Yu Miaomiao to be careful.
"Chenchen: Meow God, another two-person team approached us in the middle of the night, but they were chased away by those four passers-by fans. No one else is coming for the time being."
"Chenchen: Meow God, it's a light breeze today, but the wind and waves are strong, so be careful."
For some reason, Yu Miaomiao could see the shadow of Api in Chenchen. After reading these two sentences, she was stunned for a moment.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Thank you. There is a kind of anti-roll gyroscope. You can pay attention to it. It can reduce the shaking of the hull."
The other party replied after a while.
"Chenchen: Wow, thank you, Meow God. I just did a search, and only that bad guy Ziren can do it. I'd better wait a little longer. Anyway, the waves won't overturn my boat for the time being. I'll just collect the items in the item synthesis guide first."
"Chenchen: By the way, Meow God, don't worry about the malicious comments on your post. We will help you control the comments. There are bad people among the crowd, but we will definitely strike hard with our powerful Meow God."
Yu Miaomiao felt that she hadn't heard Ziren's name for a long time. She only knew that she was still alive. However, Wang Bingliang had obviously had some grievances against Ziren, but he hadn't taken action yet. Was it because he was too busy or was there some other reason?
She glanced at the malice in Chenchen's words. It was probably that someone was blaming Miaomiao for not releasing the guide to the adventure site when she was not short of water. Was she trying to hide it from everyone?
Many familiar names appeared below, some of whom had asked her questions before, and were all responding to the malicious comments. She didn't think that these people were upset that she didn't post these guides. After all, it was obvious from the list that she hadn't been there yet. These people who were just cursing her probably wanted her to lose her temper and stop posting guides.
Who is the beneficiary of this?
They are those who have the ability to form a group to explore the land and make a profit.
Who is this organization? Isn’t it Wang Bingliang and the murderer?
Yu Miaomiao wrote down the names one by one and looked at the new message.
"Iris: Bad news! The bad guy is among our beta testers. His name is unknown, and he'll do everything he can to sabotage our attempts to obtain the Restoration World Order card. But that's not the only factor preventing us from obtaining the complete card. I'll continue to dig deeper. But the good news is that once this apocalyptic system is activated, it can't be stopped. Once it happens, it happens. The bad guy can only sabotage it secretly, but can't directly modify the program."
This message was sent just after midnight, when Yu Miaomiao had already fallen asleep.
The second piece of news, is it good news?
What happens happens.
So does the death of the survivors also mean that it is irreversible?
He shook his head, shaking off the dizziness and frustration from holding his breath, and looked at the new message.
"Yiren Tiaantian: OK, the weather is suitable for departure today. Call me anytime you wake up. I invite you."
This message was sent at five o'clock. I didn't expect Nana to go so early.
She saw Xiaoguai following her into the water just now, which meant that Xiaoguai couldn't leave her now, but she couldn't stay on the boat forever and not go anywhere, especially to an expedition site with a lot of supplies.
Xiaoguai was still chewing the clam meat in his mouth. When he saw Yu Miaomiao approaching, he said "Meow" obediently.
Yu Miaomiao patted its head and said, "Little cutie, if I leave, can you stay in the house and sleep obediently?"
"Meow?"
It doesn't understand.
Is it because he doesn’t understand why he should leave, or is it because he doesn’t understand why he should be obedient.
Now she is a little confused about how to gesture to leave this behavior.
Yu Miaomiao thought about it and picked up the half-eaten clam shell. Xiaoguai let out an unhappy "ow", but she ignored it and walked straight back into the house and left the monster corpse covered with sea urchin spines in the room.
"Meow?"
Yu Miaomiao pointed at the clam and said, "Just eat here obediently. I'll be back soon, okay?"
Xiaoguai only understood the word "eat" and made a "meow" sound to ask for food.
No matter what, she needed to verify Nana's identity and also test Xiaoguai's reaction. While there were no sea monsters, she had to go to the adventure site immediately. She could only try to get back before Xiaoguai finished eating these things.
Yu Miaomiao immediately sent a message to Nana.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Nana, I'm fine now. If you are free, please invite me now."
"Yiren Tiaanfantian: Little lazy cat, you finally got up. You really know how to find the right time. I just killed a branch monster. Remember to wear an oxygen mask before you come."
Yu Miaomiao has already repaired the simple mask and placed another spare one in a waterproof bag she carries with her. This was also a waterproof bag made by someone she found after searching around the world for it after she learned from the last lesson that the system couldn't be opened.
The bag is too small and can only hold some temporary shields, masks and relief medicines.
After making sure the metal door was closed, she accepted the invitation.
After a dizzy moment, my feet left the wooden float and stepped on a stream of water.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was surrounded by glazed rockery, which was very beautiful. She not only wore all the protective gear, but also wore an advanced shield. She held weapons in both hands, ready to stab at anyone who appeared next to her at any time. Then she saw Yue Yina with her arms folded and a smile on her face.
"Nana!" Yu Miaomiao put the knife back and shouted happily.
But she was wearing a mask, so her voice couldn't be transmitted. However, Yue Yina understood her lip movements and opened her mouth to mouth the words: "Miao Bao."
Yu Miaomiao looked at her long-lost best friend and opened her arms to hug her, but the next second she was empty-handed.
Just when she thought that someone had created another fantasy to harm her?
She found herself standing on some seaweed, and Nana was above her head, throwing a chain at her.
Yu Miaomiao then realized that the gravity in this crystal palace was chaotic. Sometimes when you walked forward, you would end up walking downward, and sometimes when you walked forward, you would end up walking left. No one had figured out the law of gravity direction yet.
It is even possible that after just killing two monsters, the gravity in front will be disrupted, and the knife will end up stabbing downwards just as it is about to stab the monster.
No one who comes here dares to use all their strength to kill monsters, for fear that gravity will turn the knife and stab them in the back.
“Ding ding.”
"Yiren Tiaantian: Stupid, I told you before we came here, you rushed too fast and ended up falling down. Now if you want to climb up along the chain, you'd better go up."
The upward gravity did not change. Yu Miaomiao got Nana's hint and climbed upwards, and finally arrived in front of Yue Yina.
Familiar person, unfamiliar hairstyle - short hair.
Nana used to cherish her long hair the most. At that time, her hair had grown to her waist. Because of the tight school schedule, Nana's mother wanted her to cut some of it, but she cried and refused.
But Nana knows her limits. Once her hair grows longer than her buttocks, she will cut it off herself.
Yue Yina is like this, she has her own set of formal standards that no one can break.
The messages from Yu Miaomiao and Yue Yina arrived almost at the same time.
"Yiren Fanfantian: Bao, what's wrong with you? Why do you have white hair? ? "
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Nabo, what's wrong with you? Why is your hair gone?"
Although the two were so close, they couldn't communicate face to face because of the masks and water, and could only type to each other on the system.
"Yiren Tiaanfantian: What do you mean by losing your hair? Can you chat? Growing long hair is too troublesome. I have no choice but to let my hair grow again, but what about your gray hair?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: the night after my friend left, my hair inexplicably turned white."
Seeing the message sent by Yu Miaomiao, Yue Yina didn't ask any more questions. She immediately opened her arms, hugged Yu Miaomiao's head, and held her tightly in her arms.
The two of them could still feel each other's warmth even through the rushing water and protective gear.
Nana is half a head taller than Yu Miaomiao. Leaning on Nana's shoulder, Yu Miaomiao can even hear her heartbeat.
It was so solid and powerful, giving her infinite warmth and stability.
"Nana." Yu Miaomiao didn't care whether the other party could hear her or not, "It's a good thing you came."
The two hugged each other for a while, and Yu Miaomiao thought of Xiaoguai, so she quickly got out of Nana's arms and sent a message.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I have verified my identity. I need to go back first. We will talk later."
Nana's expression changed from confusion to understanding. Without asking any more questions, she nodded and pressed the button to disband the team.
Yu Miaomiao disappeared into the crystal palace and returned to the still floating buoy.
Before the discomfort in her head subsided, a wet body pounced on her.
When Yu Miaomiao opened her eyes, she saw a wet, furry zebra cat.
Looking at the direction of the water stains on the float, it turned out that Xiaoguai had just returned from the sea.
Although she had just escaped from the arms of her best friend, she now also had the most important person in the world in her arms.
Before, when Yu Miaomiao disappeared, Xiaoguai noticed that the familiar breath had disappeared. He stopped eating and kept running around in the house. When he rushed out of the door, he saw an empty float.
Xiaoguai was extremely anxious. Thinking of how Yu Miaomiao had gone into the water before, he jumped into the sea without hesitation. However, he searched around but could not find the human figure.
Just as it was about to hold its breath and dive into the sea, it regained the breath of the human and climbed out of the sea.
So what Yu Miaomiao saw was Xiaoguai covered in sea water, a house with a broken door, and garbage all over the floor.
These are traces of Xiaoguai's destruction.
She closed the door, and Xiaoguai used brute force to break open the solid iron door.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Yu Miaomiao couldn't even bring herself to scold. The clam meat was still the same as when she left. It didn't even eat its favorite meat, which showed how anxious it was and how much it cared about her leaving.
It was her fault. She shouldn't have left the cat alone.
What about the expedition site in the future?
