Chapter 278 Survival at Sea Day 14 (1) Sunny and Sandy...
Internal and external troubles are how Yu Miaomiao feels now.
We have to be wary of bad people among the masses and find ways to overthrow the system.
Yu Miaomiao felt very tired while driving the aerobic cabin, but she was still chewing the unpalatable mutton pot cake in her mouth. In order to increase her physical strength, she had to swallow it even though it was difficult to swallow.
Every day when she opens her eyes, she works against the clock without a moment's rest. She cannot and dare not stop. If she sleeps for a long time now, she will fall into eternal sleep immediately.
Just as I gave myself a shot of cardiac stimulant, the small cabin was surrounded by turbid sea water.
"Zizidu."
The aerobic chamber stopped functioning instantly.
This underwater vehicle is very simple, with only up, down, left, right, and acceleration control buttons. It is unclear why the machine broke down, so if it needs to be repaired, it can only be placed on a repair table. Now she is in the sea and cannot repair it.
After coming out of the cabin and using the sonar dagger to confirm that there were no monsters around, Yu Miaomiao sent a message to Yingying, asking her to retract the bulky iron block through the hull controller.
After entering the sea, Yu Miaomiao's vision was blocked by the turbid yellow sand in the sea.
After roughly estimating the distance, she realized she had only sailed 3 kilometers, so how could the sea water be like this?
When the oxygen cabin was being pulled back, Yu Miaomiao took a closer look and found that the blades in the entire propeller seemed to be broken, as if they had suddenly broken after exerting a lot of force. Could it be that they were disturbed by the sand?
Since there was sand, it meant that it was a sandstorm. While the system backpack function was still usable, she quickly took out a simple raft that she had assembled and swam to the surface of the sea.
The higher she went, the muddier the sea water became, and layers of sand pressed her down like a dense net. She had no choice but to push hard with her fins, hold on to the raft with both hands, and rely on the wood's unusual buoyancy in the apocalypse to break through the sand net and return to the surface.
Yu Miaomiao lay on the float, breathing oxygen weakly, before she came to her senses. She didn't expect that one day returning to the surface of the sea would be as tiring as climbing a mountain.
Yellow sand poured down from the sky. The moment she stuck her head out, her whole body was filled with sand. The dense sand was like a sand rain. She thought to herself, why not just call it a sandstorm instead of a clear sandstorm.
Her clothes, helmet, hairline, and shoe seams were all filled with this unpleasant feeling of sand, which had penetrated every pore. She rested for a few minutes, then quickly got up and hid in her spare little house.
Without wind, the sand would just fall straight down and would not float into the room, but the gravel on the clothes kept scratching the skin. Thinking about what the sand was, Yu Miaomiao quickly stood in place and shook it, shaking out a pile of small yellow sand.
Take out the condensing fan, point the air outlet towards yourself and outside the house, and blow the sand away.
One of the monsters today was formed from these gravels.
These yellow gravels are not real sand, but strange eggs. They feel hard and harmless when you first touch them, but once this kind of sand comes into contact with human skin, it will turn into a real monster - jellyfish balls.
The initial jellyfish balls are very small, not even as big as the common insects in the public parks established by the federal government. After each small jellyfish ball stings a person, it will die on its own, just like the bees released in the park.
The monster that turns into a jellyfish ball will sting directly towards nearby humans after a few seconds. The jellyfish ball's tail sting that pierces a person will remain firmly on the human's skin. If it is not pulled out in time, the skin will begin to fester little by little around the sting.
A single monster does not cause much harm. Even if you are pricked by it, just pull it out in time. The damage caused by this monster will stop after the needle is pulled out. But if tens of thousands of them prick at the same time, not to mention whether all the thorns can be pulled out, your body will be pierced like a sieve.
The way to deal with these monsters is to sweep the unformed sand or the formed monsters into the sea. When the jellyfish balls touch the sea water, they will instantly turn back into sand and finally sink to the bottom of the sea.
When Yu Miaomiao woke up, her companions in the base had already developed a water-pumping spray device, which, combined with full-body clothing, could provide effective protection. Without her even saying anything, they had spontaneously posted their methods to defeat the enemy under her post.
So no matter how hot it is today, you must wear at least two layers of clothes to prevent the sand from touching your skin.
After Yu Miaomiao enjoyed the cool breeze for a while, she received reassuring news. Yingying confirmed that the yellow sand would neither deform nor harm Xiaoguai if it came into contact with it.
It seems that in the apocalypse, Xiaoguai is truly invincible, so does Xiaoguai like to eat jellyfish? She reminded Yingying.
Because of this server-wide competition, many adventure areas were filled with people, but Yu Miaomiao didn't expect that someone would ask her how to kill the zebra cat so soon under her post.
Before Miaomiao could reply, other people had already asked that person why he wanted to know this and whether he wanted to attack Miaoshen. No matter how much that person explained that he had indeed met the final BOSS that looked like a zebra cat, no one believed it. After all, they had not met it. In addition, the hostility of people from other servers towards Miaomiao was increasing, so they preferred to believe that someone had bribed people from this server to kill Yu Miaomiao.
Yu Miaomiao continued to update some methods to deal with the fishmen, and did not respond to the content related to Xiaoguai. The only people who could encounter the clone of Xiaoguai were those who had seen it with their own eyes. There were tens of thousands of people in the internal test server, but only a few had actually seen it. After she wrote down this person's name, she drove the thrusters to drive the boat to the previously recorded coordinate point.
She found that when it was raining sand, the ship would move forward much slower, and there would even be sounds of machines having difficulty running. To prevent equipment failure, she planned to stay where she was and work on the craft during the short sandstorm period.
[Successfully trigger the lucky trait and synthesize 6 freezing traps]
Her luck was triggered one after another. Although there was only a condensing fan blowing, which was not suitable for making items in such a hot and stuffy environment in the house, she still did not stop and worked for another hour until the daily system sound rang. She stopped her work and looked at the six cards in front of her.
【System prompt: Please draw your gift pack card】
Today's cards are a bit unsettling, with an energy organ depicted on each card.
Although there are small icons for these supplies in the backpack, they are far less real and shocking than the vivid and beating dark purple venom glands and the frozen hearts that are constantly emitting white smoke on the cards.
Looking at these still moving animal organs, Yu Miaomiao almost ignored the vines that always appeared behind these patterns.
If she hadn't habitually looked at the details of the cards a few more times, it would have been difficult for her to notice the virtual vines hidden behind the flow of blood of various colors. Today's vine pattern was different from before. It was no longer a disorderly entanglement in a single direction. If she looked carefully, she would find that there was a word hidden in the vines on each card.
Connected together - "destroying submarine caves"
Whoever left the message must be that good person.
Iris said that whenever large blooming petals appeared on the vines, it was a message left by the good man. Now, behind those giant organs that are still beating, there is a blooming pink flower. The flower floats three-dimensionally on the card, as if it wants to swallow these organs, which is extremely weird.
Ah Wei has some weird design quirks.
What's even more strange is why Awei left this line of words on the card drawing interface.
In other words, the information on the number of vines was used before to allow people who had obtained the hidden function to decrypt other information. How could this line of words be written out so openly now?
This card drawing interface can be seen after certain conditions are met, or it is randomly shown to the survivors.
As soon as she turned over the first card of the day, she could immediately tell what the rest were.
A card with a dark purple gland-shaped pattern and blood vessels flowing through it reads "Venom Gland Resource Card."
The next five cards are "Freezing Organ Resource Card," "Wind Power Organ Resource Card," "Electricity Generator Resource Card," and "Gill-Lung Organ Resource Card."
Yu Miaomiao was in a dilemma.
In the past, these things were all grouped together in energy resources, but now that they were separated, she found it a bit difficult to make a decision.
Cryogenic organs are needed to make refrigeration equipment and freezing traps. Power generation organs are also widely used. Gill-lung organs are needed to make all underwater equipment.
Before the countdown ended, she chose to freeze the organs.
She just used up 5 of them. Currently, no sea monsters will drop this, so the market price of this item is also the highest.
As soon as she made her choice, she heard a message reminder.
"Unstoppable longing: Did you choose to freeze your organs?"
How could Tingting know?
Yu Miaomiao looked up and around, but there was no observation line of sight, nor any surveillance equipment.
"I can't stop thinking about you: Today is special because we went to the adventure site together yesterday, so some of your actions will affect me."
Tingting spoke very cryptically, which made Yu Miaomiao think of the freezing trap she had just made.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: You also got the freezing trap?"
"I can't stop thinking about you: Yeah."
Yu Miaomiao: ...
Even if Awei wanted to cheat for her, it wouldn't be like this. The other party easily got an equal share of what he worked so hard to make.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Will I have it too?"
"I can't stop thinking about you: Yeah."
Okay, that's fine. Since this cheat is mutual, she won't lose anything. As long as the other party doesn't hear the same system sound as her, she doesn't want to expose her lucky trait.
"I'm in the exploration zone. This time I want to see what happens if I don't pour all the blue liquid into the stone pillar. Don't be surprised when I do."
Don’t be surprised that there are more things in the backpack. This is probably what Tingting meant.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Good."
Thinking of this, Yu Miaomiao looked at the broken raft not far away, with only a float left floating on the sea, and only a lonely iron chain hanging on it. This was the place where the hull of the Buchaqian raft exploded that day.
If she could pack all the supplies she had into her backpack, maybe Tingting would get the same?
[System Notice: Settlement of Upgrade Item Card Rewards Begins]
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait, and gained 15 frozen organs. ]
Today's cards were very dark and dull, and she hadn't thought there would be a lot of supplies. After using the detector to confirm that there was no one around, she pushed open the door.
The heat wave hit, and every inch of her skin was clamoring for heat. She wanted to take off her clothes to cool down, but she couldn't.
The heat today is different from that in the desert world. In the desert, the temperature was simply high and the sand felt hot even when you stepped on it. Now it is a feeling of humidity and heat. Just standing in the shade makes you sweat and there is a cloud of steam in the oxygen mask.
In such hot weather, going into the sea is definitely the best choice, but the monster in the sea today is not simple. It is a milky white jellyfish that comes and goes without a trace. If you are not on guard at all times, you may not even know that you have been entangled by it.
Yu Miaomiao once again confirmed the location of the wooden board and the surrounding situation. There was no ambush. He compared it with the location recorded last time and found that it was here.
As soon as she dived into the sea, she saw the long chain hanging from the wooden foundation. The chain that fixed the anchor was almost infinite, so as long as the survivors wanted to hover, they could stop. As for whether the boat was overturned or damaged, the anchor would definitely still be there.
There was now a lot of seaweed wrapped around the chain, and after she entered the water, it floated over unconsciously. Because it was too hot on land, her breathing was inevitably uneven. Returning to the cool sea, she quickly adjusted her breathing and got rid of the seaweed.
Therefore, even seaweed is an invisible and undetectable monster. No wonder many survivors say that it is difficult to escape from the seaweed once entangled. The end of the world is really full of traps.
As she continued to dive, her vision became increasingly darker until she stopped when she saw a metal pipe passage more than 20 meters wide.
The U-shaped metal pipe has four entrances and exits. Below the pipe is the part that goes deep underground, which is the secret passage left by the rich man.
This craft requires a large number of titanium ingots. There are people in Nana's service area who can make this craft, but no one is willing to spend so much metal materials to make this large item to prevent people from hiding things. But there is one in front of Yu Miaomiao.
What is inside that is worth being hidden like this?
As soon as Yu Miaomiao started swimming, she felt the strange atmosphere around her. The sea water that was flowing just now seemed to be still.
Something's happening!
She quickly turned on the positioning function of the sonar dagger. Dense red dots appeared in all directions, and dozens of milky white jellyfish were approaching.
Blocking the ocean current was the precursor to their appearance. Yu Miaomiao swam quickly to the pipe, and just as he took out three freezing traps, the system got stuck.
