Chapter 70: Desert Survival Day 9 (13) It’s time to close the net…
Yu Miaomiao ducked down to avoid the cuckoo's wings flapping, listened to the sound, and crawled to the side along the hanging net.
This time she just opened her eyes slightly, and saw a cuckoo bird using its sharp beak to continuously stretch and retract its neck to peck at the place where it had just appeared, regardless of whether there was anything in front of it. There was a hint of confusion in its alert eyes.
The other one was curled up there motionless with its entire body. From the gaps in the feathers on its ventral side, it looked like the egg.
Right next to this cuckoo bird protecting its eggs, lies a silver treasure chest.
Yu Miaomiao observed for a few seconds and found that the one flapping its wings still didn't know where it was. It was probably because the branches and leaves beside it blocked the moonlight.
She took out her broadsword and climbed up slowly, trying to make as little noise as possible. Standing on the edge of the bird's nest at the top of the tree, she drew her sword and swung it decisively.
"Snack."
The blade chopped the bird, which was just jumping around, into half with a single move. It seemed that killing it was very easy.
The other one had obviously sensed something was wrong. Even though its body was still trembling, it still guarded the eggs in its belly and didn't dare to move a step. It didn't even make any attacking gestures and slowly closed its eyes.
Could it be that this creature, like Xiaoguai, has also mutated and evolved the intelligence that a normal creature should have?
After all, it is just a monster designed by the system. It did not attack itself. The egg it wanted to protect was probably their offspring.
Just as she passed the cuckoo bird that was turning into ashes and reached out to grab the treasure chest, a ray of moonlight shone through the leaves and hit her back. The cuckoo bird, which had been pretending to be scared like an old hen protecting its eggs, immediately stood up and pounced forward.
The sharp beak was pointing directly at Miaomiao's body, and the feathers on both sides of the wings were shining in the moonlight, like a pair of knives, or a pair of ruthless serrated scissors, and the wings were folded towards Miaomiao's body.
"Snack."
Yu Miaomiao gripped the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand, exerted force with his waist and arms at the same time, pulled out the knife from the side of his body, drew an arc upward, and chopped directly from the bottom of the cuckoo bird that had just stood up to the top of its head, splitting the bird directly in half.
This bird is completely different from Xiaoguai. They have been hostile to her from the beginning. It was programmed. They just pretended to be submissive just now just to make her lower her guard.
When the first bird swooped down, she had carefully observed its movements and saw that its posterior muscles were clearly tense and exerting force.
The one in front of me, which had just turned gray and acted weak, had its back muscles tense the entire time. Even though it pretended to tremble, it couldn't hide this fact.
Yu Miaomiao approached the egg, wondering what it was pretending to protect.
She carefully used the tip of the knife to push away the feathers attached to the egg, revealing a silver egg.
After putting the egg into the backpack, you will see the item name [Titanium Ore Ball]. It is a small silver ball in the backpack column. The item details say that it can be directly decomposed into 3 titanium ingots.
Therefore, this is not a real bird egg at all, but a spherical metal ore. Its purpose is only to confuse the survivors and generate income for Yu Miaomiao.
Everything was quiet again. The patrol ant monsters made a rustling sound when they walked, but she hadn't heard it yet, so she started checking the silver treasure chest without any worries.
The box was a cube about thirty centimeters in size and was locked with a silver lock.
The silver lock is quite large, the lock body is about the size of two mobile phones stacked together, and the lock head is firmly inserted into the lock.
Ziren was talking about a silver treasure chest that survivors usually just split open. The crescent-shaped sword should indeed be able to split it open, but she wanted to try if there was any other way.
Looking at this small silver lock, there are no screws at the bottom of the lock, the keyhole core is very straight, and there is no tooth-shaped groove. There is also a small hole at the top of the lock. Looking at it in the moonlight, you can't see the bottom of the lock, and you don't know what the upper and lower keyholes mean.
How to open it.
“Ding ding.”
“Ding ding.”
“Ding ding.”
After three consecutive message reminders, it seems that someone can't sit still anymore.
She first looked at a message in the group chat.
"Is Pipi here? Sister Miaomiao, be careful. That winner in life is getting a little frustrated and furious."
Okay, it’s good that you’re angry. I’m just afraid that you won’t be angry.
Look at all temporary private chat messages one by one.
"Integrity is the foundation: Hello, I've thought about it, and I really did do something wrong before. I also feel that the compensation just mentioned is a bit too little. Please give me 20 slime, 2 assault rifle magazines, 1 broadsword, 3 pork belly strips, 1 4x scope, 1 4.5m fishing rod, 3 smoke bombs, 1 sewing kit, 5 bandages, 2 hair ties, 4 wet wipes, 1 advanced trap blueprint, 1 flare blueprint, and 1 intermediate backpack expander blueprint as apology. This is almost all I have. I really want to come in. Please be flexible."
Yu Miaomiao "admired" him very much. He could always speak in a very humble manner from beginning to end. No matter what she proposed or said, he was very patient. If he caught the opportunity, she would probably retaliate badly.
Looking at the names of these items, was he sure that he was not proposing this compensation condition just to clear some space in the system backpack?
She could take everything. There was still plenty of space in her backpack, and for her, the more things the better.
Moreover, Yu Miaomiao understood his intention from the compensation he proposed.
They will give weapons and supplies, but they are only bullets, and they are a type of gun that has never appeared in the apocalypse. In this way, even if the other party gets the bullets, they can't do anything to him.
Although the shotgun is powerful, it also has a strong recoil. She feels that if she uses it too much, her hands will be dislocated. The assault rifle is much more convenient to use and reload than the shotgun.
So with the magazine, in the future, as long as you can get an assault rifle, you can use it directly. For many people, it must be very tempting, but at this stage, it is estimated that few people have this gun.
The 4x scope, an accessory used with other guns, is of no help to Miaomiao at the moment.
Because the scope on the shotgun is fixed and seems impossible to disassemble and replace, even if he gets it and finds it usable, he can't use it in this winding adventure site with layers of vegetation, and it can't cause any substantial harm to him, so he can give it out.
And she always felt that he had more than 4 times the amount, maybe even higher multiples.
Except for the slime, everything else looks like a free gift when you buy something in the supermarket, used for clearance to make the number of items look larger.
So the compensation he mentioned was something that would neither harm him nor allow Yu Miaomiao to protect herself, and it would not even be of much help to her development in the end times.
But when she came here, she always remembered one thing: nothing was useless.
Considering that he had assault rifle bullets in his hand, it's hard not to doubt whether he had this gun.
Thinking about having to use mucus to drive up the price of bandages later, Yu Miaomiao decided to say more bargaining chips.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: What you gave me is okay. Everything else is fine. But you look like you've been to the expedition zone many times, so you must have a lot of slime. 20 portions of slime is too little. 50 portions is enough. Otherwise, forget it. It's getting late. If you haven't thought it through, don't waste my time sending me messages."
She really didn't have time to argue with him anymore, as the expedition site was about to be destroyed.
After replying, Yu Miaomiao looked at the next four messages.
"Ahhh: You're the only one who hasn't come out, right? You're still lying to me. You've really screwed me over. You're full of lies, just like those idiots who are always there. You like to act smart. Tell me your coordinates, and I'll ask our nearby members to check and see if you're there. Don't let me catch you when you're not there."
Yu Miaomiao didn't know why, but she found it funny when she saw this person talking, and she laughed out loud in the middle of the night.
Why did he think that I would tell him the coordinates?
Yu Miaomiao smiled and looked at the next one.
"Not Short of Money: Is that you? You're the one blocking our boss from entering? Get out of here! We've got your ID. You're hindering Big Winner's plans, and you'll be in for it."
How come another lackey is here? It seems that her repeated rejections have really irritated the big winner in life.
"Life's Big Winner: Are you the one who has been refusing me access to the adventure zone?"
"Life's Big Winner: I didn't argue with you before because of the Xue and Pi families. If you refuse to repent and continue to oppose me, believe it or not, I will find you and shoot you dead before you even see where I am."
"Life's Big Winner: Do you hear me? Get out of here now."
Ha ha ha ha.
Three cobblers are no match for one Zhuge Liang. What else can they do except threaten people?
So anxious, so anxious.
Yu Miaomiao could imagine how anxious he was, but there was a small piece of information in his words. He should have a good gun in his hand, or even a 4x or 8x scope. Only then could he be so sure of saying that he could kill her from a long distance.
That was perfect. She wanted to see who would win or lose between the two people who both had luxurious weapons, or whether both would be injured. Unfortunately, she had to go out and would not be able to see such a vivid scene.
While replying to the message, she was going through the tools in her household tool box one by one and found a very thin coil of steel wire that looked like a sewer clearer.
The opening of the steel wire ring was about the same size as the keyhole of the silver lock, and she had a sudden urge to give it a try. After all, she had used this steel wire ring to clear the sewer that was blocked by cat litter many times before.
Align the steel wire with the keyhole and insert it. After rotating it a few times, the head end of the steel wire coil will come out from the top of the lock.
A slight pull on the lock beam opened the lock.
The system sound and the incoming message sound sounded at the same time.
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait.

Stored in the system warehouse.]
"Integrity is the foundation: Okay, 50 pieces are really all the slime I have, but I am willing to give it up if I can get your forgiveness, but please let me in."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: then there will definitely be no problem."
She did put it in, but as for what happened after it came in, that was not within the scope of her promise.
Sitting on the top of the tree, Yu Miaomiao could see from afar that the lake water was pouring out as if it was pouring back from the lake. The original oasis land was gradually covered by the lake water.
Yu Miaomiao took the initiative to send a transaction request. The other party hesitated for a long time before putting all the items up. There were still two portions of slime missing. She was too lazy to care about it. Time was limited. This was the last trick this person could play. She hoped that he could be buried well with this trick.
Now, it was time for her to collect the net, and also put the hanging net she had just climbed over into her backpack.
The familiar application pop-up window appeared in the field of vision again, and Yu Miaomiao clicked to accept.
"Integrity is the foundation: I didn't expect you to be so trustworthy. I was right. I'd also like to ask where you are now. I'd love to continue this journey with you."
Where is she? She is in the tree.
[System prompt: Player Miaomiao is not short of water and has unlocked the advanced trap making.]
[System prompt: Player Meow Meow is not short of water and has unlocked the production of signal flares.]
[System prompt: Player Miaomiao is not short of water and has unlocked the crafting of the intermediate backpack expander.]
After studying all the drawings she had just received, Yu Miaomiao no longer planned to reply to his message. She guessed that the man would want to look for her when he came in.
There were no patrolling monsters here yet, but she could vaguely see monsters on the oasis land, and they seemed to be heading here. She just couldn't see clearly and was not sure whether there were any ant monsters.
She couldn't see the original entrance to the expedition site from her position.
