Chapter 26 September 22nd
The situation seems to be getting worse.
Yu Zhu knew that bad weather and shark attacks at night would kill many people, but when he saw the first number drop to 7, his mood was still affected to some extent.
However, one cannot always be dejected while living. One should always think positively. At least three-quarters of the players survived. No matter whether the current situation is good or bad, no matter whether one can see the sun tomorrow, as long as one is still alive at this moment, it is already great.
Yu Zhu enjoyed his breakfast while thinking rationally.
She ate the same thing as yesterday: 150g of soft, sweet sandwich and 100g of tasty ham sausage. This was a pretty good breakfast at sea.
Yu Zhu believed that there must be other players who were eating well, but these resources did not fall from the sky, they were the result of everyone's hard work.
But do those who don’t eat well necessarily not work hard?
This involves many aspects. Yu Zhu's current good life is based on her complete salvage of each wave of supplies, without missing a single barrel from beginning to end, plus she has practiced martial arts since childhood, has strong physical fitness, and a little bit of luck. All three are indispensable.
Some things are easy for Yu Zhu, but not necessarily for other players.
For example, the most basic salvage supplies are the daily minimum living allowance given by the game to players. In addition to basic supplies, barrels play a vital role.
It seems that Yu Zhu's simple hook can catch a barrel ten meters away with just a casual throw, but if other people go to a ring-tossing stall in reality, there are many people who cannot catch a single one even after throwing dozens of rings at a distance of less than a few meters.
This will leave many people behind, and even after repeated practice, the probability of hooking the barrel is unstable.
When they were still in the novice protection period, there would be no danger. Now that they have passed this threshold, they will be reduced to their original state.
The novice period is like laying the foundation for building a house. How far can you go without a solid foundation?
In addition, many players were students or had already started working before coming to the sea. Everyone can see how fierce the competition is in the real society, and the employment problem is even more complicated.
Studying late into the night and getting up early, working 996/007, huge pressure, disordered work and rest schedule, emotional breakdown, cancer is occurring at a younger age, physical fitness is poor, dizziness occurs when standing up at a young age, and even cannot open a bottle cap.
This may have been just a joke in the past, but now it has become a common phenomenon. If you get a headache and fever when a cold wind blows, and the cold and fever last for a month, how long can you survive on the sea?
In short, Yu Zhu felt that it was not easy for anyone to survive until now, and even more people would die tonight, but all people could do was to be strong and face it.
Instead of worrying about the impending disaster, it is better to cherish every second of your life now, do your best, and leave the rest to fate. After all, live one day at a time and earn one minute by enjoying it.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhu set his sights on Meihua, walked towards it, stretched out his devil claws, and dug out Meihua's claws, making it cluck, and finally, as expected, he took out an egg.
plum bossom:……
Chickens, who understands?
Who collects homework so early in the morning!
The next second, a 100g piece of fish was thrown into the bowl, and it immediately switched to the chicken pecking at the fish mode, which was as realistic as it could be.
Seeing Meihua's change in attitude, Yu Zhu smiled, then suddenly had a thought: either the shark was being realistic and didn't dare come, or there was only one shark, and once it was killed, it would be gone, leaving them with nothing to do but wait for the game to refresh/reset. The latter was obviously more plausible. As for how long the wait would be?
A number subconsciously came to my mind - 3 days.
Because the time limit for the first task is 3 days, this is the only reference basis at present.
The game doesn’t seem to have any new tasks, is that true?
Players are still facing challenges, which may even be more brutal.
This is more like a hidden quest, a real battle for survival.
9:03 AM
Yu Zhu's feeling was right, the temperature rose too quickly today.
After just salvaging the supplies, I was already sweating profusely from the heat. The sweat was running down like water, and my clothes were soaked. Even after returning to the intermediate umbrella, I didn't feel much better.
When Yu Zhu turned around again, he saw that the plum blossoms that were full of energy an hour ago were now limp on the ground due to the heat and visibly wilted.
A few minutes later, she received a private message from Fu Wanwan.
[Fu Wanwan: Why does this weather feel like it's been blasted? It's going to scorch me to death! I just got tinnitus from the heat!]
Yu Zhu: Tinnitus? Check your personal information. Did you get heatstroke?
Fu Wanwan: Damn, I really got a heat stroke! I only had my umbrella out for less than ten minutes and I already got a heat stroke. Is this game even for me?!
Yu Zhu: Today is so unusual. It might be the last day.
[Fu Wanwan:!!! It better be! Otherwise, all the players will die, and how will this crappy game continue?]
While the two were talking, Yu Zhu still felt very hot. The temperature under the intermediate umbrella was probably close to 40 degrees. It was really hard to bear without air conditioning and electric fans. If it continued like this, heatstroke would be a matter of time.
Yu Zhu couldn't help but look at Meihua again: "Are you still alive?"
The little guy was so hot that he started pecking at his own fur. He finally understood why Yu Zhu had shaved his fur before.
Plum Blossom: “Hey…”
It's almost time.
Ten minutes later, Yu Zhu felt that his concentration was a little off.
Realizing this, she opened her personal information and saw that she indeed had a buff for mild heatstroke.
It wasn't even ten o'clock yet, and Yu Zhu wanted to hold on a little longer, but she suddenly felt that something was wrong, something was very wrong.
The game cannot give players a dead end. There must be some way that no one has discovered.
Next, Yu Zhu began to search the trading area repeatedly. Currently, the highest level of items in the trading area was only intermediate, and there was no such thing as a high-level parasol.
The only known structures that can provide protection from the heat are intermediate umbrellas, ordinary umbrellas, and simple sheds.
Yu Zhu lay in the rocking chair, looking at the intermediate umbrella above her head, and then at the simple shed not far away. In the past two days, she had been running back and forth as the temperature changed.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head: why couldn't she just stay in one place?
Yu Zhu sat up suddenly. She tried to control the intermediate umbrella. After confirming that it could be moved, she quickly picked up the soft-necked plum blossom and moved to the range of the simple shed with the intermediate umbrella, letting the intermediate umbrella cover the simple shed underneath.
After doing all this, Yu Zhu sat down under the simple shed. The temperature dropped suddenly and it was obviously not so hot anymore.
The principle behind this can be perfectly explained by one word - stacking buffs.
The effect is excellent when the heat-proof buff of the intermediate umbrella is stacked together with the constant temperature buff of the simple shed.
Yu Zhu felt cool all over. She breathed a sigh of relief and found that there was a countdown after the mild heatstroke (40 minutes and 29 seconds). She guessed that the condition would be relieved when the countdown was over.
This person still needs to use her brain more. Yu Zhu, who has a method, does not intend to hide it. It is definitely impossible to ask her to donate supplies, but it is just a method, and she is still willing to share it.
In Yu Zhu's opinion, the more people survive, the better.
She opened the chat area swiftly. She hadn't paid much attention to it in the past few days except when needed, mainly because many people were emotionally broken, and now all she saw was a sea of "wailing".
Qiu Jun: I have heatstroke and feel nauseous and want to vomit.
[Lezhi: +1. I'm so dizzy I can't even tell the direction.]
Xiang Tianlei: Thank you for the invitation. I'm just melting.
[Mei Bei: They say evildoers will be punished by God. I haven't done anything bad, why are you treating me like this?]
Fu Wanwan: My family, hold on, victory is just around the corner! (Completely crazy)
Feng Hao: I want to persevere, but I'm really uncomfortable. Only those who have gotten heatstroke know what this is like!
…
She typed quickly.
Yu Zhu: Everyone, listen to me. If you have a parasol and a makeshift shed, use them together. Stacking the buffs will have a miraculous effect.
As soon as this message was sent, the chat room went silent as players rushed off to take action.
One minute later.
Qi Boyi: Damn, Boss Yu is indeed the boss! It actually works!
Dai Tingqin: Why didn't I think of this before? Every jungler has a double buff, so why can't I have a double buff too?
Fu Wanwan: Yu Zhu, thanks to you! My treasure!
Mei Bei: I've never felt so cool before. I feel alive again! Love you @喻竹.
Lian Bo: Boss Yu! From now on! You! Are my God!
Yu Zhu: ...
Don't say anymore, I have the pictures.
I couldn't tell for a moment whether this was a thank you or revenge (?
The plum blossom beside it finally reacted. It moved its wings, struggled to sit up, and began to smooth its messy feathers.
If it doesn't move, Yu Zhu will have to barbecue it to save it.
All of a sudden, all the objects that had been silent gradually woke up.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: What happened? I feel like I fell asleep.
Simple Water Purifier No. 2: I don’t know.
Easy Grill: All I remember was it was hot, really hot…
Simple bed: I feel so hot.
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Shed, what’s wrong with you?
Simple Shed: Don’t look at me, I fainted too.
Simple bed: It’s quite cool now.
Simple Grill: Wow! There's a big umbrella above my head!
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Wow! Meihua, you're even balder!
Meihua went up and took a bite of it.
Yu Zhu couldn't help laughing out loud.
