Chapter 55: Day 3 of the Wormwood Season: Undead Monsters and the Unexpected in the Base...
In the previous chat, Yu Luowei was particularly concerned about the words "low-level insects." This directly indicated that insects could evolve. Combined with what the others in the channel had said, she was a little worried that the catalyst for insect evolution might be low-level pesticides.
After sharing his thoughts in the group chat and telling them to avoid using low-grade pesticides as much as possible, Yu Luowei began to study the electronic equipment he had smuggled in.
This time, he brought two cell phones and a computer. The computer and one of the cell phones were high-tech from Blue Star, both equipped with screens for operation. The other was an antique from the zombie world, and Yu Luowei had never taken it out of the space, fearing it would be discovered if used on Blue Star.
After charging all three, Yu Luowei couldn't wait to turn them on. However, with no internet connection, the two Blue Star phones couldn't even display a screen; they were just a lump of metal. The antique phone could be turned on, but only old messages and photos could be viewed.
This is enough. There are thousands of photos in the album. I haven’t looked at them for more than 20 years. This time is a good opportunity to reminisce.
In addition to electronic products, she also brought back several books from the space, all of which were found when she was searching for supplies in the zombie world. There were Mary Sue novels, domineering CEO novels, and detective novels, which could help her kill the boring time when she was alone in the shelter.
After looking at the photos for a while, Yu Luowei gradually felt sleepy. She yawned and fell asleep unconscious until the next day.
I'm still out before dawn, which is a bit like getting up early and staying up late. I don't know if the game system discovered something, but today I encountered several monsters as soon as I left the house, and this was only because the repaired traps stopped a large number of them.
Yu Luowei simply set the range of space tearing to the maximum and used it continuously, and finally got rid of the endless stream of monsters.
Unfortunately, the monsters in the dark will only drop treasure chests below the blue level, which are all within the range of the space tear. Yu Luowei directly placed these low-level treasure chests in the space.
When daybreak came, Yu Luowei first took a look at some of the ant nests he had treated the previous day. The results were remarkable; the treated areas had returned to normal ground. If Yu Luowei hadn't marked them in advance, they wouldn't have been visible.
But there were many new ant nests in other places. Not only that, the size of the ants had also increased a lot. One ant was as big as ten of the previous ones, and even bigger than the largest ant Yu Luowei had seen when he was a child.
Yu Luowei had just been observing the treated area, but now seeing the giant ant, he looked for other insects. Fortunately, the size had not changed much compared to before - it was already four or five times larger, and if it got any bigger, it would be really terrible.
After spraying the insecticide, Yu Luowei discovered a problem: it was only effective against surface insects, not the root causes. Furthermore, the insects had grown in size and their intelligence had significantly improved. After some of their companions died, they quickly retreated to their nests and refused to emerge.
You still have to rely on yourself to eradicate the problem. Pesticides are best used indoors. Sighing, Yu Luowei took back the pesticide and switched to acid rain to continue pouring.
After a few hours, Ma Tuan had already run around in the forest and came back. Yu Luowei finally finished cleaning up the area around the base. After the treatment, not only were there no ant nests in the land, but there were no other plants either. It could be said that there was no grass growing at all. Even if a fire suddenly broke out, it would not burn the base.
This time, the acid rain had consumed most of it. Yu Luo rested for a moment before teleporting to the crystal mine. With the magic tower, the consumption of crystals had increased, so he needed to dig some in preparation.
Yu Luowei worked until almost six o'clock before heading home. The treasure chest he got today was all thanks to Ma Tuan killing two level four monsters and getting a purple treasure chest.
The holes in the leaves of the surrounding plants had grown much larger today. Yu Luowei even saw a giant ladybug take an entire leaf in one bite. Furthermore, the insects had become much more aggressive. Sometimes, while walking down the street, a mantis would swoop in with its front legs flapping, or a moth would flutter its wings.
After dealing with the third batch of bugs, Yu Luowei finally arrived at the entrance lake of the Black Abyss and was immediately teleported to the base.
Before it got dark, Yu Luowei quickly collected the corpses and spoils in the trap, and then made full preparations for battle to deal with the monsters that were about to arrive.
This time she planned to use her spatial ability, and was ready to take this opportunity to practice fire magic and ice magic, upgrade quickly, and then fight the BOSS she discovered two days ago.
However, preparatory work still needs to be done. Yu Luowei cordoned off a space outside the base, and when a group of monsters came in, he used spatial abilities to isolate them to avoid any accidents.
For some reason, Ma Tuan hated these monsters in the dark, so Yu Luowei let it go back first. As soon as Ma Tuan entered the base, he went to play with the little animals. They had become completely familiar with each other in the past few days.
Yu Luowei was facing a large number of monsters outside the fence. She stuck several torches on the ground, then cast ice magic with her left hand and fire magic with her right hand. The blue and red lights were very conspicuous in the night.
In addition to fireballs and ice mist, there are also skills learned from magic scrolls. Her main means of attack is to condense various weapons, but it is really useful.
After fighting for half an hour, the flesh and blood of the monsters nearby were burned to ashes, but the smell of blood in the air still stubbornly drifted into Yu Luowei's nose. And the monsters continued to appear.
Yu Luowei was a little puzzled. After erecting a solid ice wall in front of him, he took a moment to check the space wall. It was still standing there, diligently completing its task and keeping most of the monsters out.
This is strange. We have clearly isolated ourselves from the outside world, but why do the monsters seem to be endless? In just a moment, more than a dozen monsters have gathered outside the ice wall.
Closing his eyes, Yu Luowei covered the area with his mental power. After observing for a while, he finally discovered a clue: several new monsters slowly crawled out from the ground. After the monsters emerged, they turned around in place for a while, and suddenly located Yu Luowei, and slowly walked towards this side.
Looking more closely, the hair and skin of these monsters are faintly translucent. If you look even more carefully, you can even see the bones inside. Moreover, most of the monsters tonight are insect-shaped monsters, most of which are standing ants with bared fangs and claws.
No wonder mental attacks are useless. Yu Luowei suddenly realized that the monsters at night are probably undead monsters, which are the souls and bones of the monsters killed during the day.
This would have dashed her plans to clear the area of monsters and return to base. After all, she'd killed countless ants today. After clearing out the monsters near the ice wall and realizing her ice magic was about to reach a peak, Yu Luowei retreated to base.
As soon as they came in, the monsters outside lost their target. Some of them fell into the trap while wandering aimlessly, and the others returned to the underground.
Ma Tuan was racing with the lambs. These lambs, native to the game world, were called bighorn sheep. According to Ma Tuan, they came in many different colors. Yu Luowei had even plucked a handful of wool yesterday, and the manual's crafting page showed how to make wool yarn.
I had originally planned to cut some wool and make yarn to send to Grandma Lin today so that she could help make some clothes, but plans cannot keep up with changes and I really don’t have time today.
As soon as Yu Luowei stepped into the base, Ma Tuan abandoned his sheep friends, ruthlessly locked them in the cubicle, and ran towards Yu Luowei.
Yu Luowei took it and got into the carriage - she really didn't want to walk anymore.
Two more bowls of fruit, this time prepared in the morning and kept in ice, perfect for eating now. The forest farm harvests a lot of fruit at night, and if it weren't for the space, the consumption rate wouldn't keep up.
Just as he was about to open the only purple treasure chest he had today, he heard a series of popping sounds that continued uninterrupted. Yu Luowei followed the sound and found it was coming from the screen window.
Just as I was wondering what it was, a black shadow flew over, hit the screen window, and then fell down. The sound just now was the sound of it hitting the screen window.
Without even bothering to continue eating, Yu Luowei hurried outside to check. The ground around the shelter walls was already covered in a layer of black "corpses." Lights had been installed at the base a few days earlier, and in the light, Yu Luowei recognized them as large flies.
As he approached, the flies on the ground didn't move, so they must be corpses. Yu Luowei lit a flame to burn them all. These corpses caught fire and soon all of them were on fire. However, during this time, flies continued to fly towards the screen window and then fell down.
It's really strange, where do these flies come from? We sprayed insecticide in the base yesterday. It seems that the base is outdoors, and the defense cannot stop the flies. Yu Luowei continued to spray insecticide in the base while observing the source of the flies.
Upon looking, Yu Luowei discovered that some of the flies came from outside, after all, the power grid did not cover the entire base, and some of the flies actually came from farmland.
Besides the Life Vine, Lingyun Pomelo trees, and some other fruit trees, the other common plants on the farmland were planted just yesterday. Looking at them again today, most of them have already sprouted.
After searching, Yu Luowei discovered some rotten fruit. This was because the crops had not been harvested in time when they were ripe, and they fell on the farmland. After rotting, they became a breeding ground for flies.
After carefully burning all the rotten things, Yu Luowei sprayed more pesticides near the farmland.
These things are really hard to guard against. After burning the corpses clean, Yu Luowei returned to continue opening the boxes. Many new materials were found in the purple treasure box, such as dragon scales, shark teeth, crow feathers, etc.
These were just names Yu Luowei had given to the objects when he saw their shapes; they were actually materials dropped by level 4 monsters. Because Yu Luowei had a weapon modification station, the tooltip also included attributes that could be added to weapons or equipment.
Yu Luowei condensed a flaming sword and fused it with a fang left over from a previous monster fight on the transformation table, increasing the flaming sword's attack power by 10. After letting the flaming sword dissipate, Yu Luowei condensed a new one, but its attack power only increased by 2.
Several new weapons were condensed, and the attack power increased by 2. Yu Luowei became interested. Although the increase was small, it meant that as long as the materials were fused into a weapon, the attributes of the weapons condensed later would also be improved. This was not invincibility. Yu Luowei had a lot of materials.
