Chapter 231: Survival at Sea, Day 8 (3) Has He Changed? ...
With the help of medicine and other means, Yu Miaomiao felt as if he had divine power in his hands, and he pushed the float of dozens of square meters out from the reef in one go.
As her breathing became rapid, the mist that was originally scattered around her slowly gathered towards her.
This time she was only focused on what she had to do, without any distractions. If she saw an image of vines flash before her eyes, she would simply close her eyes and then open them again, and those thorny plants would immediately turn into mist.
Moreover, she was in the water at the moment, and the mist would only float above her head, so the fantasy would only appear from the air.
The vines that fell from the sky seemed so unreal that she herself didn't believe them, and the mist couldn't confuse her either.
After confirming that there were no other reefs blocking her float, and looking into the water, she found no other reefs blocking the way. After the boat could sail normally, she had to go back and quickly leave this strange sea area where the fog was getting thicker and thicker.
Yu Miaomiao supported the float with one hand and grabbed the fixed chain with the other hand. She stepped on the last reef, used the force to flip over and was back on the float in two seconds.
Thanks to the diving suit and her swift movements, she didn't get much water on her body. The floor beneath her feet was slightly damp, and the early morning chill seeped into her clothes through the mist. She quickly ran back into the house, stood by the fireplace, and instantly dried off the water on her body.
With each breath, she remained in a state of hibernation and looked out the window again.
After her tossing and turning, the mist that was about to turn into a solid object dispersed again.
The whole process, from going into the sea to pushing the boat back into the room, took no more than five minutes. But when Miaomiao came ashore, she could still see the solid shape of the mist, which looked like a pair of hands grabbing from the air. Because she ran fast and tried to keep her breath stable while running, the hands grabbed nothing.
That’s right, what she saw was the transformed form of flying insects, so there must be quite a lot of flying insects in the sky that can transform into such concrete objects.
Looking at the thick fog in front of her, it seemed to be twice as thick as before. The longer she stayed there, the more insects there would be.
Leave first and make plans later, turn on the engine and start the thrusters.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz."
It was the sound of flying insects flapping their wings. Although the sound was very small and mixed with the sound of the wind, she still heard it although it was not obvious.
As soon as the boat started moving, it seemed as if it had hit something, bounced back and could no longer move forward. Standing in front of the cabin controller indoors, Yu Miaomiao staggered and almost fell on the screen. She quickly turned off the engine.
After she went into the water, Xiaoguai fell asleep peacefully on the mat. With the noise, it woke up, stood up, and looked outside the house with an alert look on its face.
She now relies on Xiaoguai's reaction to determine whether the monster really appears.
If the monster is within two or three meters, Xiaoguai will be very excited and look like he is ready to fight. If the monster in the fog flies high, he will come back without interest.
Its excitement at this moment was more obvious than at any time before.
This monster should be right in front of us. It has transformed from a gray fog hand into a roadblock, right in front of where the ship just collided?
No matter what shape it was, the flying insects hidden in the fog really came.
Looking closely, the barrier stretched from the sea surface to mid-air, blocking all the light in front, and the float suddenly became half dark.
Since it's blocking the way, why not just drive away from the side?
Anyway, the ship in the apocalypse can control its direction 360 degrees. Yu Miaomiao turned the controller and drove diagonally for three seconds before hitting the fog barrier again.
This time she saw clearly that the gray fog made of insects, more than ten meters high, was floating rapidly around the sea with her ship as the center.
So no matter which direction she drove, she would crash.
If you can't avoid it, then kill it! But how do you kill insects?
Insecticide!
No, insecticides have a limited range of use, and the insects in front of us have already covered an area exceeding five square meters.
Because she was in a state of hibernation, the group of insects did not really attack her, but sometimes crashed into her float and sometimes moved away.
"Meow hey hey"
Come on up.
Xiaoguai kept nodding his head at Yu Miaomiao who was standing at the door and still observing.
"Wait, we still haven't figured out what's going on with these monsters."
After Yu Miaomiao finished speaking, Xiaoguai sat down obediently and did not rush out to catch monsters. Perhaps it did not know where the monsters were and did not know where to catch them.
She had seen Xiaoguai jumping around on the roof, grabbing the air, and then coming back dejected, so Xiaoguai could only feel that there was a monster nearby, but it didn't know where it was.
She deliberately waited for a while, and when the fog was lightest, she tried again to control the hull to move forward a short distance, but soon hit an elastic object again.
If you can't escape and you can't kill it, how about trying to catch it?
Yu Miaomiao scanned her backpack and found no tools for catching insects.
Go search around the world, or ask Nana.
Opening the chat box, she saw a familiar name appear in the temporary conversation column with no messages.
"Is Ziren here? Are you also encountering a wall of fog caused by flying insects? I have a tower searchlight that can illuminate the core of the insect. Do you need it?"
She and Ziren haven't been in touch for a long time. Since Api left, the two have had no contact. Why would he deliver the crafts to her door today? What is his purpose?
Yu Miaomiao didn't reply to him, but sent a question to Nana to see if she had any good solution.
"Yiren Tianfantian: It's also lightly foggy here today, but I haven't seen the flying insects you mentioned. I've also scanned with my biosensor, and there aren't any monsters. It's probably just bugs flying high in the sky, as you said, so I didn't see any. We haven't found a good solution yet, so we just need to get through this sea area as quickly as possible."
Everyone can drive through the foggy sea, so why is it different here for Miaomiao?
She holds a grudge against Ziren, but she needs to try various methods to break through this dilemma, otherwise there will be more and more flying insects. Even if this lamp cannot be used now, the 30 million watt lighting equipment will be used in the future.
Besides, she also wanted to know what Ziren was up to.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: What's the price?"
"Is Ziren here?: Durability 67 [Tower Searchlight], 50 slime."
I clicked on it and took a look. The durability is indeed (67/100), but even if the durability is not full, this thing should not be worth only 50 pieces of slime.
She had seen the formula for making this craft that Ziren had provided. Not to mention other miscellaneous materials, just the one generator and three titanium ingots needed to make a tower searchlight would require far more than 50 portions of slime. According to the market price, at least 100 portions of slime would be required. Add in the labor cost and other miscellaneous items, and 150 would not be excessive.
50 is an incredible price.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: transaction."
As soon as she finished speaking, the other party immediately sent a transaction request. On the transaction column, there was a searchlight prominently placed.
There is no problem with the item description when you touch it with your fingers, from introduction to durability.
Before she even placed the 50 slimes, he clicked to confirm the transaction.
If this is the scenario, Yu Miaomiao can just click "Agree" and she can purchase it directly for free.
What the hell.
What's the secret behind this Ziren gourd?
After placing 50 pieces of slime on the transaction slot and both parties confirmed it again, the searchlight came into her hands.
After waiting for a few seconds, Ziren didn't send any follow-up message. This was too strange.
What happened to him? Did he completely change? Did he start to be a good person? He started to atone for his sins with Yu Miaomiao, the person he had offended?
Yu Miaomiao turned on the searchlight doubtfully. Theoretically, things made in the apocalypse would not be broken and unusable. As long as the durability was still there, it could be used. Could it be that the light in his hand was an exception?
This kind of high-intensity lamp is unique in other areas. No matter what the situation, she has to collect one.
There was a folding and pull-out stand under the lamp, the lamp tube was intact, and the huge bulb was aimed at the fog outside the door.
She pressed the middle gear in the selection of large, medium and small gears, and a strong beam of light instantly pierced through the gray fog. Wherever the light reached, the fog, whether thick or thin, was torn apart, leaving white dust floating in the light and wind.
Is this white powder a bug?
Xiaoguai didn't react, so I used a biological detector to check and found that it was indeed not him.
She continued to move the searchlight, sweeping the beam across the thick fog ahead. Wherever the light in the middle gear hit, a hole would appear. As she continued to move, in the area where the light was broken, she could see the surging sea water that was originally covered by the light fog.
The dispersed fog will return to its original place shortly after the beam of light leaves, which shows that the area is still very small.
Is the light not bright enough?
Yu Miaomiao turned on the high gear and was about to scan the area on the right when she saw a small black shadow under the beam of light. To be precise, there was a place in the light that was blocked.
She was just about to turn off the light to see what was inside the bulb to see if there was something wrong, when she saw five twisted flying insects appear where the beam of light passed.
They didn't have obvious wings and looked more like gray rags, pieced together to form a large barrier. If it weren't for the strange green light spot illuminated in the center of each rag fly, she would have found it difficult to accurately locate the five monsters.
At the same time, the biological sensor showed "5 meters, fertilizer flying insects"
This is definitely the place. It turns out that there are not many flying insects, but they are spread out in a large area.
Are there any other places? When she moved the light tube to shine nearby, the five rag-shaped flying insects suddenly flew towards the light source, which was her direction.
The light can only illuminate the flying insects, but cannot drive them away. In other words, it will immediately attract the attention of the flying insects, making the flying insect's core appear in the light, while also exposing her to the flying insect's attack range.
Could it be that Api told Ziren that he knew the turtle breathing technique, and Ziren knew the characteristics of Yu Miaomiao's secret technique, so he wanted to pretend to "send" her a lamp, but actually wanted her to die?
No, although Api and Ziren can talk about anything, he would not tell him such a secret about Yu Miaomiao.
Want her dead? It's not that easy.
Yu Miaomiao was not afraid of monsters attacking, but was afraid of not being able to find the monsters. She snorted coldly in her heart.
She hadn't bothered him for Api's sake, but now he was looking for trouble? Ziren, your wishful thinking was wrong. She'd deal with the bugs first, then come and settle the score with him.
Her eyes turned cold, and she quickly set up the flashlight, aiming the beam at the direction of the five flying insects. She picked up the sword in one hand, put the insecticide on her waist, and with the other hand, she held the shotgun, raised the sword and chopped it vertically.
A cat figure beside her was one step ahead of her, leaping up along the cylindrical beam of light, and pounced on a flying insect in the front with its claws, and hit the sinister green core bead with its teeth.
As it bit quickly, a cloud of gray mist dispersed from Xiaoguai's mouth.
At this time, Yu Miaomiao's knife had already chopped off a flying insect that was rolled into a suction cup shape. As she lifted it up, green beads exploded on her blade. As the thick fog rose, it was broken by the light source behind her, leaving only a pile of white dust that dissipated in the air.
The next three pieces were finished one after another in a few minutes with the cooperation of her and Xiaoguai.
With the disappearance of the five monsters, not only did the sea area illuminated by the searchlight disappear from the gray fog, but the light mist condensed around it also gradually dissipated, and the subtle salty smell in the air also disappeared.
The sea surface around her gradually became clear, and the gloomy waves were lingering. She turned around and shone the light around again. There was no trace of any flying insects, only a few wisps of white dust fell on the sea and disappeared.
This can be considered as a complete solution to the problem of flying insect monster.
As the crisis was resolved, Xiaoguai returned to the house and fell asleep by the fireplace. He did not interact with Yu Miaomiao at all and looked very tired.
