Chapter 51 Torrential Rain and Extreme Cold? 9
Chapter 51
Lin Xia glanced at her attributes:
[Spirit: 110 (+10)] (Including item bonuses)
[Constitution: 110 (+10)] (Including item bonuses)
Strength: 48
Speed: 61
Survival Points: 12393
Experience points: 5%
Lin Xia ignored their conversation and exchanged 10 points of mental strength, 10 points of physical constitution, 2 points of strength, and 9 points of speed.
With 8793 survival points remaining, Lin Xia didn't use them anymore. She looked out the window at the scenery outside. If it weren't for the system timer, she wouldn't even know if it was day or night.
The dark clouds in the sky blocked out all the light, and people were in darkness, becoming increasingly anxious. They even argued over who would get a spot away from the window.
Surrounded by so many people, Lin Xia felt extremely anxious. She forced herself to close her eyes for a while, but she couldn't take it anymore. It seemed that ever since she entered the survival game, she had become allergic to crowds and felt restless whenever she was in a crowded place.
Looking at the building in front of her, which was only about 100 meters away, Lin Xia walked to the door and looked outside. All she could hear was a rumbling sound that made her feel irritable.
As she stood there, she suddenly had a bad feeling. The rain outside had stopped sometime earlier, and it seemed that even the wind had stopped. The rumbling sound in the sky sounded more like a muffled thud.
Lin Xia's heart jumped. Her anxiety subsided, and her senses became clearer than ever before. The sky was bright with white light, and she "saw" Lazy Cat running towards her with a look of terror on its face.
Lin Xia instantly released the safe house she had made earlier. She sensed Lazy Cat rushing in, and five [Earth Element Cards] appeared in her hand. Earth energy swept wildly, enveloping the safe house layer by layer.
Planks, rubber, and wooden nails appeared inside the wooden house. Lin Xia shouted, "Quick! Seal this up too!"
Lazy Cat looked serious. His hands were steady as he quickly spread out the wooden planks and rubber, but before he could nail them in place, a thunderous explosion was heard.
He didn't have time to move, so he could only melt the planks and rubber into the soil, layer by layer. Lin Xia saw this and threw out more rubber.
Her mental energy surged wildly, enveloping earth-elemental energy and stirring up the ice and soil beneath her feet, trying to sink the wooden house underground. But just as it sank a meter into the ground, a surge of energy suddenly burst forth from the earth.
They were blasted to the surface. Caught off guard, they stumbled and fell around inside. Lazy Cat was pale, his powers surging wildly from his hands. Lin Xia used earth-based energy to fix himself and Lazy Cat to one side of the wall respectively.
She sensed that Lazy Cat's earth-based ability was quite different, making the soil in the small shelter she had built more solid. Noticing his use of earth-based energy, Lin Xia changed the energy in her hand and started to learn it as well.
The large sphere of earth grew smaller and smaller, yet more and more solid. Lazy Cat opened its mouth and cried out, "Sister Hongyu, there's no oxygen!"
Lin Xia exchanged for oxygen and turned it on. Lazy Cat grinned with relief: "I thought I was going to bury myself alive."
"Boom!" Lightning struck down, relentlessly, causing the shelter where the two were to bounce around violently.
Lin Xia used up her earth-type ability cards one by one. In order to reduce the area that would be hit, she consciously shaped the shelter into a sphere after it was struck by lightning.
The stone ball kept bouncing up and down from the explosions, and the two people inside were in great pain, especially the lazy cat, whose face was pale and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. Both of their faces were covered with scratches from the rolling wooden nails.
As his earth-elemental energy continued to deplete, Lazy Cat's eyes glazed over. Even with elemental cards, he couldn't use a single one.
Lin Xia replenished 10 mental energy cards, and the earth element energy was constantly replenished, compressed, and consumed.
Once the sphere stopped spinning, both of them breathed a sigh of relief; the thunderstorm was finally over.
Backup successful: The backup of the safe house that can withstand thunderstorms needs improvement. Required survival points: 10.
[A safe house that can withstand thunderstorms: It can withstand thunderstorms, but the space is too small and lacks a ventilation system, which needs improvement.]
[A backup has been detected. You are awarded a special lottery draw at checkout. The reward will be calculated by dividing the points required for this backup by 10.]
Lin Xia was surprised, thinking to herself that she really needed to figure it out slowly.
The two leaned against the wall, neither of them speaking. Lazy Cat was afraid that if he spoke, he would vomit.
Lin Xia silently counted: she had used 10 mental energy cards, 9 earth element cards, 7 oxygen tanks, and more than 500 rubbers, consuming a total of 2917 survival points.
"Sister Hongyu, Xie Cheng's two comrades are both covered in sores," Lazy Cat said quietly. The two remained silent for a long time.
"How are we going to get out?" Lazy Cat asked listlessly.
"Open the door." Lin Xia felt a sharp pain in her mental energy and didn't want to move at all.
Lazy Cat sat there blankly for a while, then leaned against the wall, trying to open the door. It opened it a few times, then stopped. Finally, Lin Xia couldn't stand it anymore and opened a small window to look outside.
The broken window faced the direction they had come from; the city, which had been filled with skyscrapers just days before, was now nothing but ruins.
Lin Xia thought to herself, "This is really a trap. If I had hidden inside the building, I would have been buried again. This time, I might not have been lucky enough to have a triangular support."
So this talent upgrade seems to be useless?
The ice on the road was broken, and the road was riddled with craters from the blasting of natural gas pipelines.
The clouds in the sky seemed to have run out of power, their frequency dropped significantly, and the sky grew even darker. The two of them seemed to be much farther away from the building they had just been standing in, and they had no idea where they had rolled to.
Behind her was a building, but it had collapsed. Lin Xia withdrew her mental energy, and her desire to go to the air-raid shelter had weakened considerably.
However, this "safe house that can withstand thunderstorms" is indeed not very suitable for survival. It's too small; two people can barely face each other without bumping into each other inside.
"Sister Hongyu, are we still going to the air-raid shelter?" Lazy Cat coughed; he must have internal injuries.
Lin Xia tried it with the [Earth Element Card], and the ball could roll. Lazy Cat glanced at Lin Xia speechlessly and silently gave her a thumbs up.
Lin Xia remained silent. She glanced at the backup and realized that exchanging for another one at 10 points was manageable, but this place was not suitable for two people to survive in.
Lin Xia still wanted to go to the air-raid shelter, since she could back up more items there. She also wanted to know what else she could back up. However, when she looked at the buildings behind her, they were all ruins.
How much oxygen is needed?
"Huh? What?"
"I told you how much oxygen you need, and to bring something in exchange."
The lazy cat sat up straight, checked its spatial ring, and took out an item: [Damage Reflection Shield: Reflects a portion of the damage back to the attacker, uses: 5]
Backup successful: Backup of damage reflection shield *1, requires 1000 survival points.
Lazy Cat handed it over directly: "Sis, just give me a few. This prop is for you. Without you, I'd definitely die."
Lin Xia glanced at him and gave him one oxygen tank for every one he exchanged, until his spatial ring was full, a total of 79 tanks were exchanged.
The lazy cat went from staring wide-eyed to speechless, its mouth moving repeatedly, but it didn't say a word.
