Chapter 48 Desert Survival Day 8 (1) Making a Zebra Cat Toy...
Yu Miaomiao thought about the structure of the cat toy. It was nothing more than a stick, a rope and feathers, but it lacked a bell. She wondered if Xiaoguai would like to play with it.
She took out the wood, placed it on a high-quality workbench, and divided it into three parts to form three wooden sticks. However, she did not intend to use this stick as a long stick for a cat teaser, but for other toys.
Then take out three pieces of wolf meat, cut a hole in the center of each piece of wolf meat, and put them in the middle of the wooden stick respectively. You will have a chewable educational toy.
She carefully tested both ends of the stick with her hands. It was quite blunt, so Xiaoguai shouldn't hurt himself if he chewed on it.
As for the long stick of the cat teaser, she planned to use bones.
There is currently no synthetic item that can be used with this thing, and the wolf's bones are very thin and long, at least longer than the wood. In this way, she can hold one end and just extend the other end through the gap out of the fire without having to walk out.
There is a part at the tail end of the bone that should be the wolf's tail vertebrae, which is just right for winding a thin rope. Three feathers are tied to the end of the thin rope, and a simple cat toy is made.
I hope Xiaoguai will like it.
After the two toys are made, the next step is to make the shotgun bullets.
Shotgun Bullet*5: Iron Ingot (1/1), Charcoal (2/2)
After clicking 'Synthesize', a small stamping machine immediately appeared on the rectangular workbench, prompting you to put the iron ingot in it.
When Yu Miaomiao dropped a small iron block into the press from the air, he could see five base models under the press, which were concave in shape, resembling bullet shells.
After putting it in, the machine starts automatically, and a red circle appears next to the stove, prompting "Do not touch", accompanied by a countdown of 1 minute.
It seemed like she didn't have to do anything but wait.
During this break, Yu Miaomiao wanted to see how shotgun bullets were made on a simple workbench, or whether it would take longer.
She quickly put this idea behind her. Once the materials consumed on the workbench were deducted, they could not be returned. If the simple workbench took too long, it would be too unsafe at night.
After the machine on the high-quality workbench is completed, it prompts that the mold needs to be moved. After moving it back and forth five times, the eggshell is completed.
Then a filling machine appeared on the high-quality workbench. You just need to put charcoal in it and it will fill automatically. You only need to manually exchange the bullets.
The last step is the bullet head.
The steps are still the same as before.
She estimated that the process took about 15 minutes.
[Successfully trigger the lucky trait, synthesize shotgun bullets*12]
The original 5 bullets have been reduced to 7, which is a good thing.
After doing another set, I completed the transaction with Huabie.
So much time has passed, but there is still no sign of the zebra cat.
Did it go out and play and have some fun?
She still encountered a crisis, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried when she thought about it.
After all, Xiaoguai has always been friendly to her and helped her kill the most difficult glowing monster.
Moreover, some little kids who look dirty but behave in funny ways are a bit cute.
After waiting by the campfire for a while, no new monsters appeared. Yu Miaomiao thought for a moment, threw the three wolf meat chewing sticks he had prepared out of the campfire, and went back into the house.
This is the toy she promised. Even if she can't give it to it on the spot, at least Xiaoguai can see it when he arrives.
It was only 9 o'clock at this time. Yu Miaomiao felt that the cold wind around her had penetrated into every joint of her body. The torn clothes were not enough to support her staying outside for a long time. She changed into the linen clothes and pants that she asked Ziren to make in the afternoon, but still felt a little cold, so she had to go back into the house.
The night temperature is much lower now than when I first arrived.
Even after wrapping herself in the quilt, her feet were still cold. She was naturally afraid of cold, and her body began to slowly cool down. It would probably be even colder in the second half of the night.
You know, after hypothermia, people tend to fall into a deep sleep and cannot wake up. She thought about it and added a piece of wood into the heater. Above the heater, a remaining burning time appeared - 10 hours, which was just enough for one night.
Sitting on the bed, she didn't want to rest so early, so she clicked on the 'Secret Book' and started practicing the Tortoise Breathing Technique again.
Yu Miaomiao was so immersed in practicing that she fell asleep early before 12 o'clock.
The fire in the room crackled. Yu Miaomiao wrapped herself tightly in the quilt. In a trance, she seemed to hear a very soft cat meow. She turned over and fell asleep again.
When she woke up in the morning, Yu Miaomiao was still a little dazed.
This night was surprisingly peaceful.
I looked up at the time. [Desert Survival Day 8 08:03]
The death toll next to the chat box changed to 4019.
I don’t know how many people died from monsters or the cold.
Seeing that it was still early, Yu Miaomiao did not plan to stay in bed. The house was already starting to get stuffy. Looking out the window, the sandbags outside were intact, with no signs of any artillery fire.
A lush tangerine tree with orange-yellow fruits has grown in the planting box surrounded by a simple fence. The wheat next to it is still green and branched, and looks very small.
Yu Miaomiao felt that this sleep was really good, as there was fruit to eat when she woke up.
I glanced at the message board and saw only one message from Pipi. I was too engrossed in my practice last night to notice it.
"Is Pipi here? Sister Miaomiao, why is it that Lulu refuses to tell me why she changed her name and was reborn, and she also told me not to tell anyone except you. It's killing me, I can't even tell Ziren."
The message was sent at around seven o'clock. I guess Lulu found Api last night and confessed her rebirth, but she didn't say what happened.
Last night, when Yu Miaomiao was in a coma, she seemed to hear the sound of news, but practicing martial arts was too exhausting and it was difficult for her to wake up.
She could imagine that Api must have excitedly sent her several messages last night, but because they were temporary conversations, they were cleared after 12 o'clock.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: She must have her own difficulties, don't think too much about it. Why do you get up so early every day?"
Yu Miaomiao found that Pippi seemed to get up very early every day.
"Is Pipi here? I don't have the habit of waking up late. At home, if I do, I'll get scolded. After I went abroad, Ziren listened to my mom and got me up every day to run. Even here, I still wake up early naturally and Ziren calls me out for a run every day."
This is why Yu Miaomiao initially misunderstood that Pipi was a boy. She wondered how a girl could have so much strength to dig around. It turned out that it was due to daily exercise.
Yu Miaomiao looked at the list again and found Pipi's name on two lists. His strength and agility values were 81st and 44th respectively.
This strength value should be directly related to a person's actual strength.
I didn't expect Pippi to be so strong, and then I thought about the experience Pippi mentioned before after being hit by a rabbit.
At that time, Pippi could correct her bones without hesitation. Yu Miaomiao felt admiration for Pippi. In fact, although Pippi acted carefree, she was actually much stronger than Yu Miaomiao imagined.
Pipi was the first person Yu Miaomiao met when he came to the apocalypse. Since they met, they have cooperated happily and helped each other.
As for Lulu, from the initial misunderstanding - a crazy fan of helping her brother, to now slowly getting to know her - a sincere girl who will really repay even the smallest kindness with a thousandfold gratitude.
It has only been 8 days since Yu Miaomiao came to the apocalypse, but she seems to have experienced a lot with these people, and she feels a greater sense of mutual understanding after sharing hardships.
Before, she had always been on guard against everyone, not daring to add friends or have too much contact. It was better to have less trouble than more. But at this moment, she didn't want to go on like this. She wanted to know what information she had missed from Pippi and what those feelings of surprise and excitement were like.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Api, would you like to add me as a friend?"
When Yu Miaomiao sent the message, she was still a little nervous. Pipi had previously mentioned to her whether they should add each other as friends to facilitate contact, but she had interrupted and fooled him. Now that she suddenly brought it up again, she was afraid that the other party would also have some concerns.
I didn’t receive any message from Pippi, but I received Lulu’s message first.
"Pangpang: Good morning, Sister Miaomiao. Do you still need a planter box?"
Unexpectedly, the first thing Lulu did when she woke up in the morning was to do some work for her. Yu Miaomiao felt a little disappointed and touched. Since there were fruits available for picking at any time, she wanted to let Lulu taste some sweetness.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Good morning, I really need a planter box, but there's no rush right now. I've already planted a tangerine. I'll give you two to try after I harvest them."
"Pangpang: Sister Miaomiao, you managed to grow plants so quickly? That's amazing! I have sandstorms coming in from time to time, bringing a lot of sand. I can make a lot of planter boxes, but I don't have enough slime."
Sandstorm? Wind farm?
It seems that it is just as Yu Miaomiao thought. The so-called desert survival has just begun, and the normal mode on the tenth day is the real desert apocalypse.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Were you teleported to a random place? Is it very windy and sandy over there?"
"Chubby: Well, there's a lot more sand here than in my previous place. It must have spread to other places. Small vortexes occasionally appear here, but they're not strong enough to sweep people away."
Speaking of this, Yu Miaomiao thought of the reinforcement of his house, which looked like a retractable awning. He wondered if this reinforcement device was used to deal with wind and sand.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: In two days, it will be the normal mode mentioned by the system. I feel that the wind and sand will be even stronger at that time. You'd better make more preparations. I think your place will be the first place to face this situation."
"Pangpang: Yeah, thank you for your concern, Sister Miaomiao. I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but can I trade you a bandage or nylon cloth for a steamed bun and a bottle of mineral water?"
"Meow Meow: Of course you can. You can keep the bandages for yourself, and give me the nylon cloth and sand in exchange."
Lulu knew that the other party was doing this for her own good. Now that she was able to survive again, gaining more resources was the best reward.
This time, when Lulu thought of the word "repay a favor", she no longer felt the heavy stone in her heart. Instead, she felt very happy. She quickly accepted the deal and exchanged 10 pieces of nylon cloth and 10 piles of sand for steamed buns and water.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: By the way, I heard you say yesterday that you drank a strong hemostatic medicine. That only stops bleeding, but it has no healing function. If your wound has not healed yet, it is best to use a bandage or a medical kit."
Thinking of what Api said in the morning, Yu Miaomiao thought that since Lulu didn't want to mention what happened yesterday, she would not ask anymore, but just give a reminder. After all, she did suffer a small loss from taking that medicine.
"Chubby: My wound is indeed festering. I thought it was caused by their guns. It turns out this hemostatic drug, as the name suggests, only stops bleeding. I was amazed at how effective it was, but I didn't realize it has such a serious side effect."
"A gun? Yes, Api also said that Tiandi would go find Lulu with a gun." Thinking of the bad things Lulu might have experienced, Yu Miaomiao changed the subject and asked.
"Meow Meow is Not Lack of Water: Why did you think of changing the name?"
"Pangpang: Sister Meow Meow, have you seen the anime called The Cat Returns? There's a character in it that I really like, Pangpang. Now I can be said to have repaid the cat's kindness. Actually, I find it incredible when I talk about this. Why is Sister Meow Meow willing to help me so much?"
