Chapter 5 Double Harvest
Zhang Tuohai came under the sand dune and tried to climb up.
However, the entire sand dune is made of fine sand, which is a bit soft and unbearable when stepped on.
It's fine when walking on flat ground, but when climbing up a sand dune, your feet can easily sink into the sand.
Before he could climb even two steps, Zhang Tuohai's shoes were filled with all kinds of fine sand, and he almost lost his shoes.
At this time, the surface temperature of the sand was at least forty degrees, extremely hot. Zhang Tuohai could not imagine what would happen if he stepped on such sand with his bare feet.
"Would it be easier to go around the two sides of the dune?"
Zhang Tuohai was thinking in his mind.
[Please climb straight along the dune to the top of the dune. There is a quicksand vortex on the left side of the dune, and a black scorpion with a bad temper is hidden on the right side of the dune. 】
As if sensing Zhang Tuohai's thoughts, the electronic synthesized sound immediately sounded.
"hiss--"
Zhang Tuohai took a breath of air. He didn't expect that there were such insidious traps hidden on both sides of the seemingly ordinary sand dunes.
If it weren't for the prompt system, I'm afraid he would have fallen into the trap.
Even he almost fell into trouble. You can already imagine what a test those ordinary people without a system must endure.
If it weren't for the overwhelming luck, it might be difficult to escape from the desert.
After receiving the prompt from the prompt system, Zhang Tuohai did not dare to think about those shortcuts anymore and honestly climbed along the route towards the top of the sand dune.
Zhang Tuohai inserted the crowbar into the sand dune to serve as a crutch, and climbed up to the top of the dune with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
By the time Zhang Tuohai climbed to the top of the sand dune using his hands and feet, his whole body was covered with sand and dust.
As soon as he climbed to the top of the dune, he saw the blue supply box neatly placed behind the dune.
[Level 2 supply box, a slightly more advanced supply box, may contain supplies, and may also contain some dangers. 】
This is a note about the game system.
[The level 2 supply box contains two barrels of instant noodles, a tea egg, and a liter of mineral water. There is no danger, please feel free to open it.] This is the prompt given by the prompt system.
After hearing the prompt from the prompt system, Zhang Tuohai's eyes lit up, he climbed two steps to the blue supply box, inserted the crowbar into the gap of the supply box with a bang, pressed down hard, and opened the supply box.
The lid was pried up.
Whoosh!
The blue supply box disappeared instantly, revealing the contents inside.
There are two buckets of instant noodles, one with Laotan pickled cabbage flavor and one with braised beef flavor.
The tea eggs are packed tightly in vacuum packaging.
Next to it is a large one-liter bottle of mineral water.
"Sure enough, great dangers come with great rewards." Zhang Tuohai excitedly held all the supplies in his arms.
With these supplies, it is enough for him to consume today.
If you save a little, you can even have breakfast tomorrow.
[Dig down one meter and there is a white resource box containing 80 units of gasoline and 1 coat.]
"It's actually a double-yolked egg!"
Zhang Tuohai was shocked when he heard the voice next to him.
He didn't expect that this time he entered the desert and got two supply boxes at once.
Although the supply box buried under the sand is only white, the supplies inside are very important.
Needless to say, gasoline is the third most important commodity after food and water.
With gasoline, you can travel further and search for more resources.
These 80 units of gasoline are enough for him to cruise for 2-3 hours.
Judging from the frequency of obtaining material boxes once every 10-20 kilometers in the past, this gasoline is enough to ensure that he can obtain 4-8 material boxes tomorrow, which should be enough for survival.
Zhang Tuohai quickly pushed aside the instant noodles and other supplies, inserted his hands into the sand, and dug downwards.
Zhang Tuohai, who only ate a piece of bread, started to wheeze after digging for a few times.
However, he did not stop to rest, but continued digging downwards.
Because there was sand all around, every time he dug out a handful of sand, half a handful of fine sand would flow into the surrounding area, which made Zhang Tuohai's excavation work very slow.
Moreover, the sand that had been exposed to the sun was extremely hot, making Zhang Tuohai's hands a little red and swollen.
If it were an ordinary person, I would have given up long ago without the tools.
However, Zhang Tuohai knew how important the resources below were to him and kept working hard to dig deeper.
He had to dig the one-meter-deep pit for more than an hour, and his fingers were so worn that he lost some feeling, and his hands kept shaking due to the lack of strength.
When he saw the white supply box, Zhang Tuohai's eyes were already filled with stars.
After unscrewing the bottle of mineral water, taking a sip, and resting against the sand for a while, Zhang Tuohai finally took a breath.
He looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, grabbed the crowbar, inserted it into the gap in the supply box, and pressed down hard, and the white supply box was opened.
The contents inside were revealed - a small iron bucket with the words 80 and gasoline written on it.
Next to it is a neatly folded black coat.
【80 units of gasoline found.】
[I found a coat.]
This is a prompt given by the game system.
"Awesome!" After seeing the resources, Zhang Tuohai felt that his whole body was filled with energy again, and he excitedly picked up the gasoline barrel.
With this barrel of gasoline, his trip tomorrow will be secured.
Zhang Tuohai threw the gasoline barrel out of the sand pit, then picked up the coat and observed it carefully.
This is an old-fashioned coat, with black camel suede on the outside and fine short hair on the inside. It is as long as Zhang Tuohai's calf. It is estimated to be warm enough to withstand temperatures as low as minus 10 degrees Celsius.
but……
Zhang Tuohai raised his head and looked at the scorching sun above his head.
The temperature in this desert is as high as thirty or forty degrees. Why do you need such a coat?
The bad taste of the material dropper?
Zhang Tuohai speculated.
However, they are all taken out of the box anyway, so if you don’t take them, you won’t get them for free.
Zhang Tuohai also took the coat away.
After leaving the sand pit, Zhang Tuohai returned to the car along the original route with the supplies.
After throwing all the supplies into the back seat, Zhang Tuohai leaned on the seat to rest, and at the same time entered the regional channel, ready to see how everyone was doing.
This sight frightened Zhang Tuohai.
The regional channel has been written in red by the system.
Line by line, there is the player's death information.
Until now, death information is still rolling up from time to time.
The number of people on the regional channel has dropped to 3,028.
Moreover, the numbers are still shrinking.
In other words, in less than two hours just now, more than 1,700 people died?
Zhang Tuohai was fascinated by the numbers.
It wasn't until the sun set that the constant rolling of death messages gradually stopped.
The membership of the regional channel was finally fixed at 2,712 people.
A brave challenge led to the death of more than 2,000 players in this area.
