Seeing these lines of written rules, Sumo suddenly felt like going back to the beginning of the wasteland and reading through the core of the shelter.
The only difference is that the current desert is much more difficult than the original wasteland.
In less than three minutes, Su Mo raised his hand to wipe his sweat and felt that his whole body was completely soaked, and his clothes clung to the surface of his body.
In this desert, it's still early morning, and the current surface temperature is at least around 40 degrees!
call.
Turning to the third page of the manual, this time there are fewer text prompts.
It is an additional task that can be performed during the main game.

】
There are three types of daily tasks and six types of challenge tasks.
In addition, Sumo also noticed that his current points were exactly the 500 points given as a gift.
"This task is not easy to complete."
When I flipped through the fourth page, no text appeared. I wonder if the terrain will trigger it later.
Sumo's heart sank slightly, he stuffed the manual into his trouser pocket, took off his coat and covered his head.
As far as the eye can see, there is no obstruction at all, and there are bare sand dunes everywhere.
There are no plants.
There are no animals or humans.
Standing here is like being on an isolated island in the deep sea, letting the waves beat.
So empty, so lonely.
"We have to find a way to gather together first, and then find the water source as soon as possible." After looking at it for a while, Sumo made a decision in his mind.
I don’t know if I can use the survival point to directly generate a well in this desert.
But even if it can be generated, it is not very practical because it has to go to the next terrain.
Take advantage of the morning when you have eaten and drank enough and when you have the most energy.
Sumo no longer hesitated, followed the position of the light spot on the manual, and walked forward heavily.
Boom, boom.
With every step you take, you can feel the heat coming from the sand, which can make the soles of your feet hurt.
The hot wind raged back and forth in the desert, rolling up patches of sand and mist. Every breath felt like inhaling waves of heat, making people feel suffocated.
After walking for nearly an hour with his head covered, Somo had to stop and rest.
Opening the manual, the distance was finally much closer, with only 11km left.
"Not only am I approaching, but the light spots on the manual are also approaching me!"
The light flashes with every breath, and the faint gray dots on the map tremble slightly.
Finally some exciting news!
Somo rested for about five minutes, then quickly cheered up and walked forward.
Just at this moment, he began to feel that his mouth was dry and he was in urgent need of water.
If we delay for another half day and still cannot find a water source, we may face the risk of dehydration.
"Oops, the location of the lord is too bad. There isn't even any shade around it!"
"Not only in the lord, but also in other places. It's basically naked desert."
"What about the oasis? How can we get out of this desert with nothing?"
"I didn't see it. I don't even have oasis hair here anyway."
"It's a pity that each of us can only move the perspective within ten kilometers of the initial position, otherwise we would be able to see where the other people are."
"It's useless to see it. We can't tell the lord."
While floating above the desert watching the battle, messages in the territory chat channel were refreshing rapidly.
Depending on the initial entry position, players watching the game can only look down and observe the surrounding ten kilometers.
Although the locations are different, the situation in each place is roughly the same.
It's all endless desert, with no shady resting place in sight.
Of course, the responses from each contestant were not uniform.
Some people choose to rest on the spot after entering, making it clear that they need to conserve their energy and wait for the temperature to cool down at night before taking action.
Some people choose the position of teammates like Somo, planning to meet up first and then talk about it later.
There were also people who accidentally bumped into aliens. Although they couldn't fight due to the rules of the game, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Overall, the first earthfire desert terrain.
Whether it is for humans or aliens, it is an extremely difficult test.
Whoever can find the water source and resting place the fastest will have an advantage in the next competition!
Eleven kilometers.
Running in both directions.
Nearly two hours passed, and in the endless desert, Somo finally saw the first human figure.
As expected, Qi Jie is the most stable and reliable among the three.
Due to his excellent performance in the knockout round, Qi Jie should have received one of the three awards.
Only by selecting the position of teammates can the two of them come together so quickly.
"Lord, it's hot, drink water."
As soon as they met, Qi Jie kept his story short and took out a bottle of mineral water from his arms without hesitation.
It’s 500ml Nongfu Spring!
The bottle cap has not been unscrewed yet, and the water line is still at the mouth of the bottle.
"Water? Where did it come from?" Along the way, Somo's throat was so hot that smoke started to rise. Now he was not polite, so he took it and drank half of the bottle.
The originally cold mineral water has become slightly hot at the entrance due to the weather.
But when it goes down the throat, it brings a sense of comfort from the feet to the head.
"I met a random merchant on the road and bought it."
Watching Somo finish drinking helplessly, Qi Jie quickly drank the rest after taking it.
There were many times on the way that he wanted to unscrew it and take a few sips.
But when I thought that the person who was about to meet up might be an unreliable guy like Lao Dao, I gave up the thought when it came up.
Now, after meeting Soma and having a backbone, all worries will disappear.
"Have you met a businessman? How much does a bottle of water cost?" Sumo's eyes lit up.
Qi Jie is really reliable. Not only did he bring water to join us, he also met businessmen along the way.
Having a goal is much better than the two of them continuing to walk around the desert with their heads covered!
"A bottle of water, fifty points, I don't dare to buy more."
"The merchant is on the way I came here, about four kilometers away from here."
Qi Jie said in a deep voice, and soon explained the situation of the businessman clearly.
Similar to NPCs with random attributes on the map.
The merchant is not unique, but he will stay for one day after refreshing, selling various items.
The only food available is bread, and the only fresh water is mineral water.
Both are fifty points.
It’s probably impossible to rely on daily tasks to keep going!
"In addition, they also sell place coupons, one with 150 points."
Qi Jie shook his head.
If the person who met just now was not Somo, he might go back and buy a coupon to try.
But now, it may be the right choice for the two of them to stay where they are and let Lao Dao and the male gun brother buy tickets to find them.
"Let's go and stay with the merchant."
Somo stood up and exhaled a breath of hot breath, and the two of them took heavy steps again and walked toward the northwest.
With the goal in mind, this four kilometers is not a long journey.
Within an hour, I saw a "businessman" standing in a depression in a sand dune, looking like a wooden man.
In addition, there are three players surrounding the merchant.
"Hey, there was no one there when I arrived." Qi Jie reminded in surprise, quickening his pace and walking ahead.
I haven't tried it, and I don't know how restrictive the game is to competition between players.
But in such a deserted place, some vigilance is still necessary.
On the other side, the three people who were buying things also saw the two people walking towards them.
Seeing Somo with sharp eyes, the three of them became excited at the same time.
"Look, it's Su Shen, Su Shen is here!"
"Damn it, it's true, we are in luck."
"Quick, hurry up and get over there."
Not caring about buying anything, the three of them spread out their legs and walked over quickly.
Sumo was also watching sideways.
The ones at the front should be from the same territory and seem to be relatively close.
One is tall and the other is short, both are male and not very old, about thirty years old.
The tall man looked a little dehydrated and his face was flushed, presumably because of his body shape.
The short man was in good spirits, but his messy steps must have been affected by the high temperature.
The other person is actually a woman?
I think I've seen it there?
Su Mo frowned and thought for a moment, and a blurry face suddenly appeared in his mind.
The seat is like the moon.
Seventy-seventh on the list of the top 100 wasteland figures in the future ruins, from the Mengyue Territory.
As the saying goes, women should not give way to men.
At the beginning of the sixth year of Wasteland, at the critical moment when leading three hundred people to the rear, Xi Ruyue stepped forward.
Not only did they achieve a terrifying record of 300 to 8000 people, but the number of casualties did not exceed double digits.
Since this battle, he has become famous, and his subsequent cumulative record ranks him at seventy-seven.
But now, Sumo can't see much of the female general in Xi Ruyue.
A high hanging ponytail and a tight sportswear.
With her curved eyebrows and clear-cut baby face, she looks more like a high school sports student.
"Su Shen, it's so nice to meet you!"
It was the tall man who spoke, looking at the extremely excited expression on his face.
Qi Jie held his forehead and sighed, it turned out to be another Su Chui.
"Hello." Sumo nodded slightly, not unfamiliar with this kind of familiarity.
"Are you here to buy things too?" The short man interjected: "We are from the Blazing Fire Territory. My name is Guan Mao. You can just call me Maomao."
"My name is Zhang Jun, you can just call me Ajun." The tall man added.
"Xi Ruyue, Mengyue Territory, is also your fan!"
Seeing this, the baby-faced guy behind him also hurriedly pushed forward to introduce himself.
Well, Su Chui, without this status, it’s really hard to open up topics and form cliques in the fiercely competitive main competition.
After all, as long as strangers who don't know each other compliment each other, they are familiar with each other.
Now that I have met the rightful owner, I naturally cannot slow down.
The few people had a rough conversation, and the information was complementary, and they basically understood each other's identities, as well as the desert terrain and many rules and restrictions of the main race.
"We are traveling together, there is no problem, there are no restrictions on the game." Sumo said directly.
"But if you want to make any request to me after traveling together, you have to pay the points for the competition. You have to think about this. If you find a water source, you have to pay me points even if you want to drink water."
This time the game did not leave too obvious loopholes in the rules of the competition.
For example, two people help each other, you give me fifty, and I give you fifty, and this cycle repeats.
Once similar behavior is detected, you will be forced to leave the competition directly.
"It's fine for both of us. Don't worry. Our focus is to participate in this competition. Whether we can get out of this desert is not certain. It's a great blessing to be able to follow you!" Maomao and Ajun said to each other.
He glanced at him and quickly expressed his position.
Although there is a fee for help, it is much better than having no place to pay.
Moreover, this desert is really too vast. Without someone to guide the movement, it may not be possible to get out in thirty days.
"It's okay with me, I promise not to hold you back." Xi Ruyue also followed.
Even though it sounds a little lacking in confidence.
But she also understood very well that staying with Sumo at this time was definitely the best choice.
"Okay, you guys rest first, I'll go see the merchant."
Giving Qi Jie a look that continued to probe, the latter immediately understood and started talking.
Sumo smiled and walked quickly to the merchant.
Seeing someone coming, the wooden pile-like 'businessman' seemed to suddenly be infused with intelligence, and his rigid eyes began to move.
"Want to shop, guest?"
He sounded like a middle-aged man in his forties, a little dull.
"What's for sale?"
"Just a moment."
Taking it out of his pocket, a thin booklet was handed out.
Sumo took it and turned to the first page, and words began to appear in front of his eyes.
[Food: 500g brown bread (50 points) Inventory: 10]
[Fresh water: Nongfu Spring mineral water 500ml (50 points); inventory: 6]
[Tools: Shovel (50 points); Inventory: 5]
[Survival items: Single windproof tent (100 points); Inventory: 1]
[Use 50 points to refresh products, and there will be a small probability of refreshing more products.]
[The more refresh times, the probability of refreshing high-quality products will increase. 】
There are five categories, each category only has one item, and there is also a purchase quantity limit.
There are only six bottles of mineral water left.
Except Qi Jie, all three of them probably bought a bottle.
If a few more people come and buy out the merchant's inventory, they can only spend points to refresh.
"Everyone only has 500, and it costs money everywhere. It's so difficult!"
A penny can stump a heroic man.
Even if all daily tasks are completed, the total will only be 70 points.
This does not include the task of two liters of water, which is very difficult to complete in the early stage. If you only complete the last two, you will only get 50 points.
When buying food, it's just a piece of bread.
When buying water, there is only one bottle of water.
If you fail to find the source of supplies or get out of the desert before your points run out, you will be eliminated.
"However, you still have to spend what you need. Let's get some start-up capital first."
If there is no good luck placed near an oasis or water source, Soma will not be upset.
Browse the purchase page and make your final decision:
"Bring me two bottles of water and a one-person windproof tent."
"There are two hundred points in total. Do you want to buy it?"
"yes!"
As the words fell, the light flickered.
Suddenly three more things appeared on the empty ground, which were two bottles of mineral water and a small tent.
in addition.
"Qi Jie, come here and buy a coupon and see where they are?"
"Okay."
When the points are used up, they will be eliminated. The most reasonable way is of course for both of them to stay at about the same level.
Qi Jie nodded and quickly came over to place an order.
As the light flashes, new luminous points appear on the manual map.
Looking at each other, both of them looked a little ugly.
"Seven hundred and seventy-five kilometers, how big is this desert?"
