Chapter 9 The First Disaster
Author: ginger porridge
[Tip: There are unknown surges on the sea surface under the fog, and they may attack your raft.]
[Dear players, a large-scale disaster is coming, but please don’t panic. Currently, only a small fire can drive them away. 】
After these sentences were displayed on the public screen, [District Chat] suddenly burst into tears.
[Hey, the Ke Chong before was just an appetizer?!]
[Fire? Did you make a mistake? Where does the fire come from on the sea now!]
[This game is really just for killing us, right? Doesn’t the Alliance care about it? Isn’t it possible that so many people are missing and they haven’t been discovered at all?]
[The main reason is that this place is so weird. We are just like real game characters. We don’t even have basic physiological functions like going to the toilet. The Alliance shouldn’t be able to find it, right?]
[Let’s not talk about this for now, who is popular?]
[Help, help! It seems like something is hitting my raft below!]
Yan Zi raised his head and vaguely saw a huge black shadow slowly swimming on the sea not far away, elongated and round, but it never came close.
The campfire stand on the raft looked even brighter in the increasingly dense fog.
Although it is just a small flame, the bright light can bring people a sense of spiritual stability.
She held the wooden stick and squatted at the other end of the normal flame, using it as a medium to slowly decompose the fire.
▲Fire: The burning temperature of the scorching souls of warriors who cannot return to their homeland, left for subsequent voyagers. It can be decomposed from the campfire stand and has similar functions. It requires the use of wooden sticks or flammable items as a medium. The wooden sticks can only be stored for one day.
[Yanzi: Selling fire, please bring your own sticks to buy.]
[Tinder - 1 material.]
[Holy crap, what kind of charity is this!]
[Kowtow to thank the boss for taking him flying and helping him survive!]
The fire can only be broken down one at a time through the wooden stick in his hand. Yan Zi simply made another wooden stick, holding it in his left and right hands while breaking it down and hanging it up.
But there are nearly 100,000 people in a district, and her two hands are still not fast enough.
[Can you hurry up! My raft has been pushed out of a hole by something, and it's about to... ugh, grunt, grunt...]
[Another one dies! Help me, there is a big, big black shadow here, can you all not give it to me first!?]
[Haha, luckily I was quick and got it!]
The sound of news is constantly bombarded.
Yan Zi saw that the number of people in the group had dropped to only——(99780/100000)
Suddenly, there was a familiar heart-piercing pain in the palm of her right hand, forcing her to slow down.
With a slight click of her tongue, she directly dropped the next sentence in the chat.
[If you talk nonsense again, I won’t do it.]
After his ears finally cleared up, Yan Zi continued to be a craftsman while adding.
[If there is a rope, add 6 pieces of wood. Give me 3 pieces of scrap metal first. You can make a campfire stand and take 6 materials away directly. Valuable materials are not counted.]
This was an obviously unequal transaction, so she also made conditions.
[In addition to item trading, there is another requirement. Now I need 1 material to exchange for fire.]
If all these people died, there would be no good left alone, and she had not forgotten her own business...
"trouble."
She tore off a corner of her trouser leg and gently spread her right hand.
There was a hideous scar on the palm of the hand, as if something sharp had penetrated the middle, leaving only a broken stitch.
With an expressionless expression, Yan Zi wrapped the soft strip of cloth upwards with force, trying to contain the pain with the numbness of the restraint.
Rope is a relatively difficult resource to obtain, but there are always a few European Emperors among a hundred thousand people.
The background of the private chat lighted up a few times, and Yanzi made a few transactions that agreed to the terms.
Both parties on the scale needed to place things, so she first exchanged a piece of wood for the other party's materials. After the campfire frame was made, the other party exchanged 7 supplies for it.
[Transaction completed! Steamed buns × 16, Ke Chong liquid (small portion) × 12, mineral water × 4, grass balls × 4, carrot seeds × 1, soil × 2, wood × 38, scrap iron × 32]
There are quite a few unexpected things.
With these people helping to share the burden, the fire spread quickly.
Yan Zi estimated that he had the rope on hand and had finished changing it if he wanted to, when another voice message suddenly popped up from behind.
[Can I exchange 3 supplies?]
The voice opposite should be a young man.
She only glanced at it and didn't reply.
The person on the other side seemed to be getting anxious and was bombarded with another message.
[I’m not telling you that on weekdays, it’s okay to sell 5 materials for each fire, but when you come here, we are only allowed to sell one material. How much less will we make?]
[It’s quite a loss, so don’t make any profit.]
After Yan Zi only replied with this sentence, he immediately blocked the person.
The fire business only lasted for less than an hour. The gray fog finally gradually dispersed to the surroundings, and Yanzi could clearly see the moon here for the first time.
That's a full moon.
It is so round that there is no defect in it, and it is extremely pale, but it is obviously weird.
[Transaction successful, wood x 140, scrap iron x 124, steamed buns x 28, Ke Chong liquid (small portion) x 16]
The moment the system sound sounded, the full moon seemed to tremble, and a black gap suddenly opened in the middle!
And that layer of forest white was like a film, slowly peeling off to both sides...
I have a splitting headache and my stomach churns rapidly.
Everything around her began to fog up, except for the distant moon that seemed to be pulled down, getting closer and closer to her, getting bigger and bigger...
In this case, you should not continue to look directly.
Yan Zi knew this very well, but her body just refused to obey and was fixed in place, unable to move.
[Congratulations to the players in Area 66 for successfully surviving the disaster for the first time!]
The system's mechanical sound was like a block of ice in her mind, activating her consciousness that was about to become rigid.
Lying back on the raft with a limp body, Yanzi placed one hand on his flat chest and could clearly touch his heart, which was beating rapidly.
"That was just now..."
The clouds have completely blocked the moon again.
I tried hard to recall the scene just now, hoping to catch some clues. But my mind went blank like amnesia.
Frowning slightly, she took the harpoon in her left hand and carved another small symbol on the raft...
Current number of people——(99143/100000)
[Players in all areas will receive 1 campfire frame drawing, 4 ropes, 4 meat buns, 4 milk, and 2 bandages!]
[For the lucky ones who survived, this is your reward. Another small reminder, this is just the beginning. 】
It doesn't matter how much the reward is, everyone is in shock.
Some people couldn't bear it anymore and broke down.
[When can I leave this game! Leave this hellish place!?]
Chapter completed!
