Yang Ming glanced at the timetable on the visual interface, which showed 5 p.m. Logically speaking, he should wake up at this time, but he had to rush back to make a save point, so he had to use up more.
Without wasting a moment, the three of them rushed back to the forest as quickly as possible. After entering the wooden house, Ai Xueer built a crystal platform based on her memory and placed it in a free space on the first floor.
Judging from its shape, it is composed of two suspended crystals, surrounded by some brackets to protect them, and they are independent of each other.
"Can this really be saved?"
Looking at the obviously uncoordinated instrument in front of him, Yang Ming complained.
"Don't worry, officer."
Ai Xueer said with a bad smile,
"As long as the functionality works, it's like this."
She pointed the palm of her hand at the crystal, and then she could clearly see the light emitting from it, and the middle part would also rotate and float, which was quite decent.
"Is this archived?"
Yang Ming still chose to ask first.
The result is actually clear. Although the ritual itself is very simple, since Ai Xueer can succeed, the reason why it is 80% achieved is because the mechanism was forcibly given to her by her dream, and others only need to follow it.
"Of course, I have every confidence that it can record information about those of us who were here."
With Ai Xueer's affirmative answer, Yang Ming stopped saying anything, called Carters and Lesia, and followed suit.
When everyone successfully saved the file, Yang Ming signaled to Ai Xueer to log out of the game.
After a series of operations, the surrounding scene gradually blurred. When consciousness returned again, the familiar ceiling was in front of her.
Returning to the bedroom in the basement of the shelter, Yang Ming quickly stood up and woke up the people around him. After resting long enough, it was time to quickly prepare to leave for the next destination.
After stuffing all the supplies in the shelter into the compressor as much as possible, Yang Ming and his group came to the ground and took an electric car away.
I am about to leave this city. Although it has only been more than ten days since I entered, it has never felt longer. Now I feel more of a sense of relief.
Soon he arrived at the edge. Looking at the dark stone slabs, Yang Ming stopped the car at the intersection and took one last look at the city scenery.
It was the evening when the sun was setting and the afterglow was still there. The city had been bombarded over and over again, but there were still many intact buildings, but there were no longer any signs of life.
May his soul rest in peace. After watching in silence for a while, Yang Ming drove out of the city.
The next destination is to return to the capital, which is the seaport city where we set out last time. After Theia's determination, it turns out that the problem is still greater at the seaside.
There is basically no need to explore the inland part. Next, just focus on finding all the coastal cities.
Among them, the capital city is naturally the most suspect. I didn't find any clues before. I probably just didn't notice that the city was actually full of things similar to black slates.
This resulted in Theia not being able to carefully scan and analyze the capital's data, but now she has sufficient practical experience and can better deal with the obstacles of the black stone material.
Therefore, if you choose to go back the same way, you might be able to reach the emperor's location directly.
With the experience of a complete trip before, this time it was obviously more efficient. Yang Ming chose to drive all the way until the battery was bottomed out, then looked for the nearest power tower, stopped to charge and rested for a while before continuing.
In this way, you go back and forth until you reach your destination.
It started at 6 pm and did not stop until 6 am the next morning. Although the darkness of the night itself could not hinder the intelligent navigation of the electric vehicle, Yang Ming could easily drive on the road in the dark.
However, the reversal of day and night still has a certain impact on the biological clock, and you will feel a little tired until the last moment.
However, it is not difficult to forcibly cheer up with mental strength. Moreover, the current season is actually summer, and it is hot during the day and you need to turn on the air conditioner when you are traveling.
The extra power consumption will easily lead to a short distance, so it would be better to find a place to cool off and wait until night before setting off.
The scene between the cities was too desolate, so Yang Ming found a valley. After making sure that the sun could not shine directly, he set up a tent on the spot to rest and set off again in the afternoon.
Since they ran a round more than ten days ago, Theia has further optimized the best route according to the situation. It is expected that it will take about half a day to drive to the capital in the evening, which will be much faster than in the past.
In the absence of vegetation in these deserts, there is a huge difference in temperature between day and night. Considering that the canyon can provide shade and is windy, it is better to use warmer sleeping gear.
Ai Xueer had never experienced this kind of camping life before. She seemed very excited and was very active in doing things.
After being fully prepared, Yang Ming and his party entered the tent to sleep. There were also corresponding security measures outside, using small drones and ground robots to patrol.
In a city where there is a zombie crisis, the most supplies taken away are these mechanical bodies. They can be fully used by Theia, which is very convenient.
And Lesia has also shown great interest, and will learn to control it from time to time. The number she can control at the same time is steadily increasing. It can be said that the future is promising, and there is a good chance that it will become an important auxiliary prop for her in battle.
After officially falling asleep, he returned to Ai Xueer's dream as expected.
And after opening his eyes, the scene Yang Ming saw was in a forest cabin, and even the position where he stood showed the state before the game.
Four people were present at the same time, indicating that the establishment of the save point was completely correct.
"Okay, let's start today's mission."
Yang Ming stood up and said, in this world, you can not only rest your real body, but also improve Ai Xueer's strength, so don't let the fighting stop.
As for what to do specifically, let the dream owner decide on his own, so the other three people present looked at Ai Xueer, waiting for the next instruction.
"Um……"
She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said,
"I think we can level up first. Having more skills at this stage will be more conducive to completing some tasks with more rewards."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Yang Ming agreed without thinking. Sometimes it feels good to not be at the decision-making level, but to simply follow the footsteps of others. The brain can work in many ways.
Then Ai Xueer briefly discussed with Carters about the alchemist, and then asked her to go to the basement to study how to generate a recovery potion.
What the other three people need to do is go to the wild to level up, collect some herbs suitable for use as raw materials, or hunt monsters that can explode the corresponding materials.
After clarifying what they needed to do, Yang Ming said goodbye to Carters and followed Lecia and Ai Xueer to explore new areas.
This time, the main purpose is to continue moving into the forest, open up unknown areas, unlock new illustrations, and obtain more materials.
