Chapter 99 Desert Survival Day 11 (14) Platinum Treasure! ...
Yu Miaomiao opened the door and made sure there was no sandstorm outside before going out. She took out her sandstorm forecaster and looked at it. "Within 5 kilometers, the next sandstorm will arrive in 3 hours, 5 minutes, and 11 seconds, and is expected to last 12 minutes."
If the forecaster is inaccurate, then this time can only be used as a guide? Will we still have to rely on real-time observation of the outdoor weather when traveling outdoors in the future?
No, this cunning system clearly states the arrival time of the sandstorm, but only states "estimated" for its duration.
To be expected means that there may be changes.
She synchronized the situation with Api and Lulu, took out the balance bike, and prepared to drive to the location indicated on the treasure card.
She looked at the sun and saw that it was still quite bright. She found Yueyue and bought a sun hat using 2 pieces of linen and 4 parts of fiber, hoping that it would provide some sun protection.
Ever since the wind and sand predictor made its wrong prediction, Yu Miaomiao still didn't dare to trust it.
When she passed by the crusher and composter on her balance bike, she put the two items into her backpack, and even took the wooden house with her so that she would have a place to hide when a temporary sandstorm occurred. Finally, on second thought, she left the sandbags and planting boxes.
The balance bike is very convenient to ride. She only needs to twist the handle to adjust the direction of travel. There is also a control handle on the handle, which is similar to riding an electric scooter.
This was her first time traveling far away, so she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
It is now 5:20 in the afternoon, which is a very romantic time. I hope the result of this treasure hunt will be good.
The sun was not too scorching, but Yu Miaomiao's back was still a little hot from the sun. Yueyue made a cool sun hat using the process drawings provided by the system. It did have a cooling effect, and her head was not so hot. She was very conscious.
When we reached the uphill section, the balance bike was obviously struggling, but fortunately the wheels didn't sink too much and it was still able to move up.
Yu Miaomiao kept an eye on the durability of the balance bike. She was worried that the bike would run out of power halfway through the ride, and if the wheels were not braked, she might slide down the sand dune.
Just as she worried, when she climbed three-quarters of the way up the dune, the battery was only 8% left.
She put the balance bike into her backpack and stepped on the soft sand.
The sand here was similar to what she knew, very soft to step on. When she stepped on it, her feet would sink a little, and the remaining sand would push her forward a small inch. It wasn't too bad, except that the sand got into her shoes, which was very uncomfortable.
She took out the Breeze skateboard, shook off the sand from her feet, stepped on it with both feet, and according to the method she had tried before, leaned forward to adjust the direction of the skateboard. Half of her body was over the skateboard, but the board did not move.
Yu Miaomiao could hear the fan of the skateboard turning, which probably meant that the slope was not suitable for using this skateboard.
It seems that she can only replenish the durability of the balance bike on the spot.
She dragged out the repair table and placed it on the slope in front of her. A red cross appeared under the machine on the repair table. When she forced it to place it, she received an error message from the system: "This area does not support the placement of the repair table."
Yu Miaomiao: ...
So now, she can neither use a balance bike nor a breeze skateboard.
They were already halfway there, it was impossible to turn back now. Yu Miaomiao glanced at the location of the treasure and it was probably just a short distance away before they arrived.
What to do if you don’t have tools? Use your feet.
Yu Miaomiao put all her things into her backpack, ate a raspberry to replenish her energy, and started hiking up the sand dunes.
For her, every step on this sand slope was more difficult than the previous one, because every time she stepped forward with one leg, she would kick off some sand, and her body would be pushed down half a step by the quicksand, which was equivalent to climbing up one step and taking a half step back.
Now Yu Miaomiao no longer cared whether she was hot or not. She just felt that her breath was getting shorter and shorter and she was getting more and more tired. The crawling process was very exhausting. She could only crawl a few times and eat a raspberry.
After climbing more than twenty steps, she spread out a mat, sat down on the spot, and drank some mineral water to relax.
She had always wanted to exercise outdoors like Api, but was often discouraged by the weather outside.
Today, when she was browsing the forum posts, she saw someone say that people with low physical strength who choose to exercise in a way that is not suitable for them in the end times will only make themselves more and more tired and their health will deteriorate.
Has she chosen a form of exercise that is not suitable for her - climbing a sand hill?
The top of the mountain was right in front of her, and the sun behind her was about to set. There was only more than an hour left before nightfall. Without sandbags and automatic turrets, she would be very passive.
Yu Miaomiao stood up and climbed to the top of the sand dune again.
Sweat fell bit by bit. Yu Miaomiao looked at the sand in front of her. Her own shadow, cast by the setting sun, had become multiple shadows. She didn't know whether it was because of tiredness or because the sweat wet her eyelids and made her dizzy.
She clearly felt exhausted and thought that eating raspberries would be useless, so she quickly drank half a bottle of functional drink to keep her body in normal condition.
After drinking it, she gained strength and finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
At this moment, a breeze blew. She looked at the scene in front of her and drank the remaining half bottle of energy drink.
Unexpectedly, the hike took over thirty minutes, far longer than she expected. She hoped to make it back to the base before dark.
At this moment, Yu Miaomiao wished she could increase her physical strength by 100 points immediately, so that she wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
Standing at the highest point and looking into the distance, in front of her was still a desert, and further away were still rolling sand dunes.
To the left was the treasure location she was going to, and to the right was a field covered with yellow sand, and it seemed that a sandstorm was heading that way.
Yu Miaomiao confirmed the direction of the sandstorm and found that it was indeed in the opposite direction of her own, so she continued on her way with peace of mind.
Hey, why is there a faint black dot in that sandstorm?
Yu Miaomiao quickly took out the binoculars from her backpack and looked over.
As soon as she used the telescope, she felt a little dazed. She quickly sat down on the spot, adjusted the magnification and looked in the direction of the small black dot.
In a pile of yellow gravel, there is a small wooden house!!!
1, 2, 3, 4, and then he increased the magnification. Yu Miaomiao counted carefully and found that there were 4 cabins!
A survivor's cabin exactly like hers!
At such a distance, the scene that can be seen through the telescope is rather blurry, especially when blocked by a sandstorm.
Three of the cabins are relatively small, but one looks very large, probably four or five times the size of the ones next to it.
My own house is only three times the size of an ordinary initial wooden house, so this big wooden house must be bigger than my own.
The person living in this big wooden house must have a lot of supplies to be able to expand the house several times, or in other words, there must be several people living in that house.
She had thought there would be people nearby, but she hadn't expected them to be so close, or even a small group of several people.
In fact, if we talk about closeness, the distance between her and the group of people is at least more than 10 kilometers, but because the telescope is easy to use, the viewing distance is very long.
After all, those wooden buildings were just small black dots in her naked eyes. If the sun had not set a little and the contrast with the yellow sand was not there, she might not have been able to see them clearly.
Fortunately, there was a sandstorm there, and Yu Miaomiao knew very well what the world looked like when she looked out the window of the wooden house. Otherwise, she might have been exposed to their sight. If they also had long-distance observation equipment, they could even see clearly that she was a human being.
She originally thought that the survivors were at least dozens of kilometers apart, and it would take a day or two to walk to each other, but she didn't expect them to be so close.
She remembered what Du Qiang had said no matter how old she was. All the survivors were on the same map. The map was not big, so there was no obvious time difference between the survivors, only about 2 hours at most.
So to put so many people in a small area, the distance between people might not be as far as she imagined.
Alas, why let her meet other people now?
No, she didn't really meet these people, she just saw them. She still had to go to her destination, so there was no reason for her to meet this group of people.
She originally felt a little regretful that she didn't take all her things with her, so that wherever she went would be her home and she wouldn't have to go back.
Now she thought it would be better to return to her original base. At least there was a mountain between her and this group of people. They would not cross the mountains for no reason and then discover her.
Yu Miaomiao tried it and found that the repair station could be placed on the top of the sand dune. She quickly took out the balance bike and repaired it, consuming one power generator and increasing the durability by 50 points. After she used up 50 points, she simply replenished the durability of the balance bike.
In this case, returning to the base would probably use up all her electrical organs, but she had to go back. Since she was alone, she didn't want to run into a few unknown people.
Not sure if it was because the sky was getting darker or because he discovered the presence of other people, but Yu Miaomiao now felt a strong sense of crisis. He took out the breeze skateboard, fixed his ankle, and went straight down the sandy road.
The back of the mountain just helped her block some of the sunlight, and the Breeze skateboard glided particularly fast when going downhill.
The wind whistled past her ears, getting faster and faster. This experience was very exciting and full of pleasure, and it immediately dispelled the sadness in her heart.
When she slid to the bottom of the slope, the durability of the Breeze skateboard had dropped by 30 points, leaving 60 points. She also planned to repair it after using it to 50 points.
After the breeze skateboard continued to paddle for a distance due to inertia, and after repairing it and replenishing its durability to 100 points, she switched to a balance bike and drove for another distance, finally stopping in front of another sand dune.
This is the location of the Platinum Treasure Card.
But there is nothing but sand. Where does the treasure come from?
Yu Miaomiao walked a few steps around the location of the platinum treasure chest on the map. Suddenly, a white light flashed before her eyes and her feet suddenly lost weight. She immediately screamed in fright.
She only heard her scream echoing beside her. She fell to the ground in less than two seconds without feeling any pain. Everything went dark before her eyes.
Fortunately, the holographic image can be used normally in any lighting conditions. She took out a waist lamp from the system backpack and hung it around her waist, so that she could see the scene in front of her clearly.
There are two doors in front of me, each with a pattern on it, exactly the same as the pattern on the platinum card, with small diamonds painted on it.
So this is the treasure place?
All she needs to do is push the door open and enter?
Yu Miaomiao looked at the two stone doors for a while, making sure that the doors on both sides were exactly the same, before pushing open one of the doors.
The moment the door was opened, white light filled the room, illuminating the entire room, or to be more precise, the cave. In front of Yu Miaomiao was a large box emitting dazzling white light.
