To the surprise of both of them, Qiu Yu did not insist on thinking about the seaside at all. He just speeded up and continued walking forward, "There is no need to save energy, let's go there as quickly as possible. By the way, do you know the seaside
When did those weird creatures start to appear?"
Qiu Yu has been completely sure that the landing cabin is not on land, but in the vast ocean. This has really become a problem of finding a needle in a haystack. This time the entry will be scattered, it seems that it is not the right
The restrictions on the participants of the earth-side game are to help. Everyone gathers together, which is obviously not as efficient as searching separately from the beginning.
And this landing cabin does not immediately produce something and form immediate combat power as soon as it arrives on the earth. Therefore, according to the balance rules of the game, the time when the participants of the Earth Civilization game enters, this landing cabin should have already appeared.
After quite some time.
But judging from the current situation, just some random things appearing from the sea have far exceeded the combined power of all earth civilization game participants. Not to mention facing countless more terrifying existences in the vast sea.
And you have to find the landing pod and destroy it... This difficulty is no less than another global attack by the lizard people, so the game's chance of victory for the earth's civilization should be in time or clear reminders of the location.
Qiu Yu just thought about the prompt, so he casually asked the two of them. In his opinion, the time when those creatures appeared was not something that people in this era could notice. But...
"I know this," Cullen said. "Scientists in the settlement have studied using seawater to generate electricity before, but because the creatures in the sea are too powerful and there is a lack of necessary resources, they have never been able to implement it. But you know, scientists are all
It is quite rigorous, and a lot of data about the ocean were collected in the early planning. Among them is the timetable for abnormal ocean conditions."
"There's even a timetable!" Qiu Yu couldn't tell whether he was happy or surprised, "Do you still remember the specific content on the timetable?"
"Of course, memorizing things is my strong point." Although he said this, Coulomb still carefully sorted it out in his mind before slowly saying, "Between 2012 and 2016, a large number of marine life died, and their bodies were
Washing up on the beach caused a super-large-scale plague to occur in the entire coastal area. If the war and radiation had not killed almost all human beings, this would have been a disaster comparable to the Great War. Starting in 2015, a kind of disease discovered by scientists appeared in the ocean.
The red seaweed called Plintock turned the entire ocean into a blood-red color like the Sea of Hell. This situation lasted until 2042. From 2042 onwards, a species containing a substance was born in the sea as if it appeared out of thin air.
Plintocks ate large quantities of irradiated microorganisms. Since then, the sea has become a giant paint pan of competing blues and reds, and many unidentifiable species have appeared.”
Coulomb's words include professional written language and spoken language mixed with narrative. Although it sounds strange, the effect is much better than a single narrative.
"Really... It turns out that's the case. The hint is quite obvious... Even if you're not in that place, you should be around..." Qiu Yu quickly turned to the page with the black arrow drawn on it. After frowning for a long time, he raised his head and faced
The two people who were a little nervous because of him laughed and said, "Do you want to go to the City of Ashes?"
"cocoa……"
Jack originally thought that he was a person who cherished life. Even if there was a boat in front of him, he would definitely not get on it. But what Qiu Yu said seemed to have some magic power, which made Jack feel that the answer to this question determines who he is.
If you can really stand on the land of the City of Ashes, you will still sink into the sea. No one will actively seek death, but similarly, no one in this era does not want to go to the City of Ashes.
When he didn't know how to answer this question, Coulomb, who was more practical, pointed to the core of the question, "How are you going to get there?"
Qiu Yu thought about it seriously and said, "I haven't thought of it yet. It would be best if there is a plane. If not, I'd better take a boat."
"Plane? If there is a plane, I would go too." Coulomb said excitedly.
Jack shook his head with a wry smile. He had heard of airplanes from stories, but even when he was in a large settlement, no one said he had actually seen one. I'm afraid this era no longer exists. But just to join in the fun, he just kept talking.
Li agreed, "Yes, as long as there is a plane, you must take us with you."
Qiu Yu neither nodded nor shook his head. He just said slowly after a long silence, "The road to destiny is walked step by step. It is better to complete the step of reaching the settlement first. When the choice of future destiny becomes clearer,
Let’s decide later.”
Qiu Yu's words were meant not only for them, but also for himself. With his little combat power, he could at most kill rats with a gun. Not to mention how to pass the difficult road to the landing cabin, he could reach it smoothly.
Where the landing warehouse is, I am afraid that the defensive methods that come with the landing are not something I can handle. Therefore, if Qian Xiao and others cannot be found, we must continue to rely on the strength of others.
The three of them walked with their own thoughts. The next day's journey had no surprises brought by fate, but this might just be a short rest given by fate to the three of them...
On the morning of the third day, Qiu Yu was the last person to wake up. Perhaps because he was embarrassed to keep eating Qiu Yu's high-end food that was worth his own price every meal, Qiu Yu was made breakfast by Jack and Cullen.
Awakened by the strange smell of meat.
Not all mutant animals eat everything like rats, so in these wilderness areas far away from human structures, there are a lot of dead trees and mutant animals that can be dealt with without guns.
Adding these two things that were sourced locally, it became a pretty good breakfast. Although he was quite afraid of the ingredients, the alluring fragrance almost made Qiu Yu desperate to take a few bites.
impulse.
"I woke up earlier than yesterday. Then you should find something to eat quickly. You can travel more while the sun is not so strong."
Jack greeted him warmly, but had no intention of inviting Qiu Yu to have breakfast.
Qiu Yu nodded, picked some beef jerky from the bag and ate it with mineral water. After a few mouthfuls, he looked at the two people with oily mouths and sighed, "I just can't bear to eat the food you brought, and I don't want to
You’re so embarrassed to eat mine, but the dried meat the homeless gave you yesterday was free anyway, so it’s better to eat that than what you’re eating now, right?”
Jack, who had just torn off a piece of meat, was stunned, "Don't you have any common sense about wilderness survival? How..."
"Lack of common sense doesn't mean I'm a fool." Qiu Yu found that he had lost his appetite again, "If the food in the wilderness is so easy to get, how precious can it be? Besides, you said that not everything can be eaten.
And you didn’t intend to share this breakfast with me like you did when you found the fly... The radiation level of what you are eating now is very high, right?"
Coulomb chuckled and said, "If it were you, you would probably die if you took one bite, but for us, if we only eat it once or twice a month, there won't be any problem."
"Even if there is no immediate effect, the effects of the radiation will still accumulate in your body..."
"Who cares about the future." Coulomb waved his hands indifferently, "Scientists have made a boring statistics, saying that the average life span of human beings is forty-two years old, but I have seen people who can really live to that age.
There are not many. The vast majority of people cannot live past thirty, do you know why?"
Qiu Yu didn't answer Coulomb's question, and he didn't continue. Instead, he went directly to the summary, "So it's okay to have a little radiation. Compared with the future, the present is the most important thing."
Qiu Yu has never been a calm or cold person, otherwise, as long as he is willing, there are thousands of ways to give them some water and food without giving them any water and food, and at the same time, he can make the two of them more submissive to him than they are now.
So, after hearing Coulomb's words, Qiu Yu stood up. Under the strange gazes of the two people, he walked to the fire and slowly grabbed the barbecue. The next step was to throw it far away and force the two to
People eat other foods.
But the so-called next step in this resemblance did not appear in the end. Qiu Yu just put the barbecue in front of his nose and smelled it, and then put the barbecue back. "It smells really good. It seems that there are benefits to being exposed to more radiation."
, you can actually eat such good food.”
Jack and Coulomb smiled and stopped talking. After eating a few more mouthfuls, they threw the uneaten meat on the ground and began to pack up the tent.
Just this abnormal and wasteful behavior was enough for Qiu Yu to judge that eating this kind of food was not as problem-free as they said.
But Qiu Yu just watched quietly. Everyone and everything can lead to too many stories. Going too deep will add an invisible burden to yourself. Even if you just listen to it, you may be upset because of the other person's words.
You can completely change yourself through words. Therefore, you cannot invest too much emotion and energy into this world that will never have any intersection with you once it passes. And only as an outside observer can you have a broader perspective.
"Let's go. If we work harder today, we should be able to arrive tomorrow."
Jack took the initiative to take up the task of carrying the luggage, but Coulomb insisted on carrying his backpack by himself. Jack had no objection to this insistence. Living in this era, people who need help from others will never live long.
The journey under the scorching sun was boring and boring, but compared to the deserted wilderness of the previous two days, some broken city outlines could now be seen in the distance. But every time when he first saw the city, Coulomb took the lead and walked as far away as possible.
