Chapter 318 Snow Survival Day 5 (3) System Error
Outside the iron gate, thick and indissoluble darkness hit us in the face.
Yu Miaomiao understood that this was the bottom of the ice.
The mastermind behind this was used to hiding in the dark. The secret door she had blown up before was one of his three doors.
The only door that could be opened anywhere was the one he had just used to bring her in. The other one was the fixed door connecting to his "lounge", hidden deep under the ice.
She reached out her hand, and her fingertips touched freezing ice. A piercing chill instantly paralyzed her entire palm, and she retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
It was obvious that there was a thick layer of ice outside the door. Unlike the experience two days ago, the sea water had completely changed from ice chips to a thick layer of ice.
wrong!
Regardless of the water pressure and salinity in common sense, or the scenes I saw last time I traveled through the space tunnel, the deep seabed is always liquid and will never completely freeze into ice.
So... this is not the bottom of the sea, it should be on land... on the iceberg.
Liu Yuyan is like a cunning rabbit with three burrows: one door is hidden deep in the sea, one is suspended high in the air, and the other can be opened anywhere, which is in line with his cautious character.
However, he was on guard all the time, but he didn't expect Yu Miaomiao to take advantage of the situation and eliminate him in his "nest".
Inside, sticky blood stained the walls, the thick, bloody odor practically solidifying. As the iron door opened, the cold air from outside intruded like a venomous snake. The blood staining the walls seemed to have found an outlet, transforming into countless fine lines of blood, scrambling to "swim" outward through the cracks in the iron door.
Under the dim light of the waist lamp, on the pale ice surface, the rhythmic blood was like a strange living creature, trying hard to escape.
He is not dead yet and wants to take the opportunity to escape secretly!
Yu Miaomiao's eyes became fierce, and she slammed the door shut, abruptly cutting off the free blood lines.
"You have so many backup plans." The warm breath she exhaled condensed into white mist on the mask. Her hands had quietly placed new lens fragments on the homemade bow, waiting for the opponent to condense into a human form so that she could deliver a fatal blow.
Deathly silent. Still playing dead?
Yu Miaomiao said coldly: "Which is more important, your life or your family's life?"
The mask blocked out most of the turbid air, but the smell of blood only grew stronger. The sticky feeling under her feet brought her back to the disgusting second half of her adventure in the Dark Oasis.
Sparks flew in her mind, and clues connected. Yu Miaomiao suddenly figured out the key: "Awei was the original designer. After he discovered Tengman Company's harmful plot, he wanted to stop it and do something about it. But it was you! You were unwilling to give in, and you tried every possible way to tamper with his design, but you didn't dare to report the company's head. Saying that your family is controlled by the company... is a lie! The truth is, you need this system, and you need your family to be inserted into it. Once the company knows all this, your family will really suffer!"
If the space tunnel that every survivor enters is related to the modern interpersonal network, then the mastermind behind the tunnel who can freely choose the tunnel will definitely place the person he cares about most under his nose - the glass door cabin that she initially smashed.
In the first cabin, she had noticed a child named "Liu." She'd noticed this child among the other cabins because there were so few children in the apocalypse, and because the child was wearing the same expensive punk glasses as Tingting.
How could such a rare item appear on a child in the apocalypse, unseen? And precisely where it could be observed from this tunnel? The only explanation—this child was Liu Yuyan's closest relative.
She already knew all the information about the children in the apocalypse by heart. To help Sister Zhuangzhuang find them, she repeatedly checked every name, their situation, and their experiences. There was no way she would miss a child named "Liu" who had just arrived in the apocalypse wearing punk glasses.
Liu Yuyan's obsession with the apocalyptic system's "natural end" likely stems from the fact that he secretly inserted his child into the system, seeking a "safe house" for the child in the apocalypse. As long as the system succeeds, he can escape with his child unscathed.
But why must his child be forced into this cannibalistic system...
A flash of inspiration pierced through the fog like lightning, and Yu Miaomiao blurted out, "Your family, your child, he's already dying in modern times. You can only upload and preserve his consciousness. Once this project is successful, your child will be able to 'resurrect' in the conscious world. That's what you're thinking!"
Thinking of this, Yu Miaomiao angrily questioned, "You treated your child like a treasure and hid him in the apocalypse. Have you ever considered that once the consciousness of other survivors is destroyed, they will be brain dead in reality and completely dead?! Using the lives of so many innocent people for testing, just to save the life of your child? How selfish!"
"Those useless people who don't have the ability to survive will be eliminated sooner or later. I just helped them get rid of it in advance. They should thank me." Above his head, the voice of a man who had not spoken for a long time sounded, arrogant and cold, without a trace of warmth.
Trouble! Is it really impossible to kill this demon?
Pushing open the iron door will allow him to be reborn somewhere else, so what about returning to the tunnel?
Yu Miaomiao turned her gaze towards the tunnel inspection door and walked over. The man above her noticed her intention and said in a frightened and angry voice, "Staff have already intervened over there. You'll die if you go out!"
Under the dim white light, the entire large room looked desolate. The gray-pink walls seemed to be shrinking after the bloodstains faded, and the roof was nearly half lower than he remembered. Yu Miaomiao could reach it with just a light leap.
If shooting him with a homemade slingshot once doesn't work, then she will stab him with a knife ten or a hundred times. She doesn't believe that this conscious being of his can still be invincible.
"The place you dare not go is a dead end for me?" Yu Miaomiao sneered, stepped onto the wooden bed, pointed the cold saber in his hand at the ceiling, and stabbed it with all his strength.
“Sizzle—Puff—”
The sound of electric current bursting mixed with the muffled sound of blood bubbles bursting, and as she stabbed violently with the knife, they exploded one after another from the top of her head.
"Stop it! You ignorant bitch..."
Yu Miaomiao turned a deaf ear and stabbed as fast as lightning. She put all her strength into transforming the anger in her heart and the frustration of these days into the blade in her hand and swung it upwards. The blood that had originally solidified on the roof fell down gracefully.
The whole room was raining blood, and the warm blood flowed all over his body along the blade. Liu Yuyan's voice stopped abruptly, completely annihilated by the blade.
This quick, accurate and ruthless sword technique was taught to her by Hua Bie.
Yu Miaomiao knew that she must look horrifying at the moment, but she had no time to care.
With a quick glance, he picked up the tattered protective suit that had fallen from the ceiling - especially at the head and heart area, where there were several hideous holes.
No wonder he didn't dare to make a sound just now. He was afraid of exposing his position. He wanted to sneak out through the iron gate as a "backhand", but he panicked when he saw that she really wanted to go back to the tunnel.
This time they should be completely killed, right? The insiders shouldn't be too resistant to killing.
Yu Miaomiao quickly put on the damaged protective suit, took a deep breath, and suddenly opened the inspection door leading to the tunnel.
A strong suction force suddenly came from the depths of the tunnel. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she bumped into a Mediterranean man who was also wearing ill-fitting protective clothing. She tried to bend her body a little to balance herself under the suction.
Under the huge protective helmet, the figure is somewhat similar to Liu Yuyan.
If she had not just used her fingertips to confirm that there was no faint pulse-like beating on the inner wall of the room, she would almost suspect that the demon had been reborn in a new body.
But after thinking about it, if he really had this ability, there would be no need for him to hide in such a miserable state.
The tunnel was deep, and all the hatches that allowed glimpses into the inner rooms were now closed.
"Code." An emotionless mechanical voice, identical to the system prompts that sounded every day, rang directly in her mind.
How would she know the code?
If it weren't for the tattered protective suit providing some grip, she would have been torn from the hole by the powerful suction in the tunnel and left hanging in the air.
Fortunately, the tunnel was dark, otherwise if the other party could see clearly, they would easily identify her as a fake.
"Code."
The cold mechanical voice repeated without any emotion, as if it had no interest in why she was there.
Time seemed to lose its meaning in the tunnel, but Yu Miaomiao could not afford to waste time. She could not imagine what kind of "annihilation" would be triggered by being identified as an "intruder" by the system on the spot.
I can only...
She suddenly threw the empty can back into the lounge she had just left. Taking advantage of the moment when the other party subconsciously turned his head, Yu Miaomiao burst out with all her strength and ran towards the secret door where she was originally caught.
The protective suit provided crucial assistance, making the tunnel that was originally difficult to climb now as easy as walking on flat ground.
Just as she started to sprint, the urging voice of the "code" in her mind exploded again. It was a life-or-death race, and she didn't care about the consequences. As long as she rushed out of this door and threw off the protective suit, even if she was detected by the system, all clues would only point to the dead "rumorer".
As soon as one foot stepped out of the threshold of the secret door, the cold declaration of "Erasure activated--" echoed in my mind.
His body almost completely escaped from the secret door and leaped towards his own cabin. Yu Miaomiao suddenly turned around and glanced...
On the tunnel wall, strange patterns spread like a spider web.
From the depths of the tunnel, the space was like a smashed screen, instantly becoming mosaic and disintegrating. Where the fragments peeled off, only a black hole of nothingness that swallowed everything remained. It was bottomless and made people feel chilled.
The collapse had not yet spread to the secret door, as she had already closed it with all her strength, and the secret door disappeared behind her in an instant.
The next second, she fell heavily onto a soft cushion.
The familiar fire crackled, and Xiaoguai curled up quietly in a pile of clothes, looking peaceful.
Yu Miaomiao walked closer nervously, but before she could reach out, she heard a faint "meow". She immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the creature was still alive.
Even in coma, it did not forget to shout for hunger. I guess after such a long time, a cat that is usually so greedy would have starved to death.
She quickly brought out the warm shrimp paste that she had prepared in advance and carefully fed it to its mouth.
The kitten's mouth was tightly closed, and soup was flowing down the corners of its mouth.
There was no other way, so she had to use her thumb and index finger to gently pry open its little mouth and pour the shrimp paste into the slightly opened mouth little by little.
After feeding half a bowl, beads of sweat appeared on Yu Miaomiao's forehead. He estimated the kitten's appetite and stopped.
The fire in the house was burning brightly, bringing warmth and comfort, which was worth the large amount of wood she had invested in.
There was still a dead silence outside the window, but the room was warm. Xiaoguai burped contentedly a few times and curled up in her arms, with his little paws curled up into a ball. His pink skin was revealed under his sparse black and white fur, and he looked very cute.
Alas, if it weren’t for the fact that she knew the kitten was getting weaker, Yu Miaomiao would still like this little kitten very much.
She finally had time to open the holographic system. [Snow Survival Day 5 00:07 Extreme Cold]
So much had just happened, and in this apocalyptic snowy world, only four minutes had passed. So... what about that 'rumor'? Was he completely dead?
She sent a message directly to the other party and received a notification that the other party had gone offline.
Very good. This "capture" trip deep into Tiger Xue had finally put an end to that demon.
Huh? Above the dialog box, the other person's name had turned into a series of characters, mostly blurred by mosaics.
This is... erasure?
She quickly switched to Huabie's dialog box, and several messages popped up one after another:
"Hua Bie: I heard your house was also crushed by the avalanche. Are you okay?"
"Huabie: Oh? A new house has been built on the same spot? Thick smoke is coming out of the chimney. They must have burned a lot of firewood, right? Is it enough?"
"Hua Bie: Did you see the auction for the cross-server invitation card? The mastermind behind it, the rumormonger, directly bid with his real name. What are your plans?"
"Hua Bie: Something's wrong... Why is the bidder's name blurred out? The bid is still 3 units of slime. It's definitely him. What tricks is he using? I have a lot of slime on my hands. Should I bid?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: No need, he is dead."
The other party quickly replied with a new message.
"Hua Bie: You killed him? Are you okay? Are you hurt? Iris has a bottle of frostbite medicine. I'll go get it right away."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: No, I'm not injured. I dealt with him in the secret tunnel. I'm not cold."
Yu Miaomiao quickly sent the good news to all her companions, then opened the auction house. She calmly added one unit of slime to the bid price of the line with the mosaic name, trying to replace it.
An abrupt system notification sound pierced my mind, and a floating reminder appeared before my eyes: "System Error."
System error...
What about the bid?
I searched the card name again, and the bidder was still him, and the price was still three portions of slime.
Yu Miaomiao immediately sent a message to Hua Bie, asking him to try bidding, and received the same feedback.
So... the mastermind behind this was eliminated by the system, and even this line of auction data became problematic.
When the auction time comes, this cross-server invitation card will neither return to the hands of the dead Yang Haotian, nor fall into the pockets of the erased rumors. Wouldn't that card be gone?
