Chapter 1203 The mysterious businessman meets module technology again!
Half a bottle?
The World Channel was shaken for a moment, and discussions arose.
Although most people were not assigned to the area where Somo was located, enthusiastic war reporters still informed everyone of the latest situation.
The stored fresh water is more than half a bottle.
The shapes of the two water intake devices are also different.
But the same thing is that both devices made gains last night, and the total fresh water volume was at least 500 ml!
"Five hundred milliliters, you're crazy!"
I remember when I first traveled to the wasteland, dozens of milliliters of fresh water could be sold for sky-high prices in the trading market.
Think again that now Su Shen can easily prepare 500 ml of fresh water in one night.
Not only were those who heard the news numb, but Guan Mao, Zhang Jun, and Xi Ruyue who had just woken up were also numb.
"Brother Qiqi, is this Tamsui?"
The short Guan Mao looked dumbfounded and looked at Qi Jie shaking the bottle in his hand.
The liquid inside stirs back and forth in the bottle, making a pleasant and clear gurgling sound.
After arriving at the resting point last night, the three of them were so tired that it was already dark as soon as they squinted their eyes.
Although the fatigue was relieved after getting up, my body was still thirsty and hungry.
Even after drinking all the water left yesterday, my throat still felt like it was burning.
Just now, Zhang Jun was suggesting that he talk to Su Shen later, or else he should not rush out today and go find a businessman to replenish some supplies.
Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he saw Qi Jie going for a walk and coming back with two bottles of water in his hands.
Although the water did not fill the entire bottle, not even half of the bottle on the right hand.
But this is a water collection device!
They fell asleep last night, what did they miss?!
"It's fresh water, collected last night."
Qi Jie nodded, with a look of joy on his face.
With Sumo's suggestion, he thought that these two devices might be able to collect some fresh water.
But I didn't expect that there were so many.
This efficiency is simply outrageous!
“How did you do it?”
Guan Jun asked subconsciously, but before he finished speaking, he received a prompt from the game.
[Record]: Contestant ‘Guan Jun’ was detected trying to ask for help from contestant ‘Qi Jie’
[Record]: Do you want to pay fifty race points to the other party and ask related questions?
There are no restrictions on ordinary conversations, but questions involving survival information require points.
After receiving the reminder, Guan Jun had no choice but to shut up angrily.
The temperature difference water collection device on Qi Jie's left hand was actually familiar to him, but the key now was that there was no material to make it!
The collected bottles are easy to find, but where can I find the plastic sheets?
No, the tarpaulin of the windproof tent can be used as plastic sheeting!
Thinking of this, the three of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at the tent pitched on the ground.
But after seeing this, I couldn't help but feel even more confused.
The tent not far away was planted squarely on the ground, without any defects.
The yawning Soma was getting out of it, standing in the open space and stretching.
"Lord, there is water, and there is plenty of it!"
Upon seeing this, Qi Jie hurriedly came over and said excitedly, shaking the bottle in his hand.
It was a little different from the water produced by the generator last night. The water in the two bottles was obviously a little turbid, mixed with sediment.
But in such a difficult environment now, who cares about this.
Looking at the eyes of Guan Mao and the others in the distance, one can understand how important the device that continuously generates water is.
"Drink both bottles to regain your strength."
"We'll hit the road later. We still have to walk at least sixty kilometers today."
"Thank you Lord."
Qi Jie licked his lips, knowing that Somo had another way to control water, so he didn't refuse.
The 300ml last night can only be said to be life-saving, and we are on the verge of dehydration.
Now this is five hundred milliliters.
In front of three people and in front of countless audiences.
Qi Jie raised his head and took a sip, with an extremely satisfied expression on his face.
He didn't say anything, but the three people watching from close range sighed in their hearts at the same time.
So cool!
This kind of free help makes people extremely jealous.
But at this moment, they can only envy each other's good luck to join Su Shen's territory.
"If you guys have a good rest, we'll set off?"
Sumo looked at the three of them.
The addition of routes and attribute points is really amazing. After a night's rest, most of the three of them recovered.
If he were an ordinary person, he might not be able to keep up with his progress today.
"We're fine."
"You go, we will follow."
"Yes, we will never delay your progress."
To stay here is to wait for death.
If you walk, you may encounter merchants on the way to get supplies.
For fear of being left behind by Sumo, the three of them nodded to indicate that there was nothing wrong with their condition.
After simply packing up their luggage, the five-person team set off slowly in the direction they traveled yesterday.
step.
step.
The long yellow sand was blown across the surface by the breeze, like a pair of big hands, constantly smoothing the sand dunes that had been stepped on.
Looking into the distance through the weak sunlight, there is no other color except yellow.
There are no rocks, no plants, no harvestable resources at all on the surface.
Even though Sumo was already prepared for such a barren situation, he couldn't help but click his tongue and sigh inwardly.
Five hundred points.
If someone is really reluctant to spend money at the beginning, they plan to save the terrain for later use.
Even if there is a route bonus.
It is also difficult to reach the dividing line 120 kilometers away without water.
"Let's take a rest."
Walking from early morning to noon, Somo stopped.
The three people at the back felt like they were being pardoned, and quickly found a relatively cool place to lie down, breathing heavily regardless of their appearance.
"Open the tent, I'll go in and have a rest."
After giving Qi Jie a wink, the latter immediately understood and quickly unfolded the windproof tent happily.
Although entering the tent under the strong sun at this time is like entering a steamer.
But as the tent zipper closed, Somo sighed comfortably.
The feeling of being "watched" by someone is really uncomfortable.
Although the system's shielding can isolate the game from detection, it cannot isolate the countless pairs of eyes from above.
This leads to some restrictions on every move, and even if you create some water, you have to do it secretly.
However, as the generator sounded the clear sound of running water, this resentment was quickly forgotten by Sumo.
About a minute and a half, the first glass of water comes out freshly.
It is still so sweet and thirst-quenching, giving people a smooth feeling like walking out of a steam room.
Somo took a sip and took out the map to look at it.
After a day of adaptation yesterday, several people have basically become resistant to high temperatures.
The journey in the desert is also faster, and I can walk about five kilometers in about an hour.
Judging from the current coordinates, there are less than thirty kilometers left to the dividing line.
Optimistically, we can arrive before dark in the afternoon.
"I don't know if this gray dot is a veteran or a male gunman. He doesn't look slow at all."
Staring at the light point above that has moved nearly 80 kilometers away.
Sumo nodded secretly.
Fortunately, before the knockout round started, those life and occupations were screened out.
Otherwise, even if you can fight all the way to the main event, you will still have to face the problem of not getting out of this desert.
Qi Jie, old Taoist, male gun brother.
All three of them are on the scavenger route, and the two special bonuses can ensure that they will not fall into the rare route in the early stage.
In the future, the gap between the routes will be smoothed out by the early accumulation, and basically there will not be much disadvantage.
Goo..goo.
While I was thinking about it, I heard a sound in my abdomen.
People are iron, rice is steel.
After all, being full of water can only sustain life and cannot provide the calories needed by the human body.
In particular, although route ability brings extremely powerful physical fitness to humans, it also amplifies caloric requirements several times.
Just after not eating for a day, Sumo could already feel a significant loss of physical strength, and his mood began to become a little uncontrollably irritable.
If we still can't find food today, let alone 60 kilometers tomorrow, even 40 kilometers will be a problem.
"Tomorrow will be a small natural disaster. No matter what, we have to find something to eat today."
Create another bottle of water and fill it in the water collector.
Sumo stood up and opened the zipper.
"Go in and drink, don't take it out."
"Obviously." Seeing a bottle full of water, Qi Jie felt a little embarrassed when he spoke.
I couldn't wait to get into the hot tent and drink it.
That’s called comfort!
The sluggish energy is also nourished by water, and it no longer looks tired in the morning.
The half-hour break is over.
Looking at Qi Jie who was excitedly demolishing the tent, the three people in the distance were a little confused.
"What's going on? Does Brother Qi have the ability to quickly recover his physical strength?"
"It's strange, he was so tired just now, why is he so energetic after half an hour?"
"Water, I want to drink water."
Guan Mao and Zhang Jun took advantage of the bonus from the Wandering Fighter route and had some free time to chat.
Xi Ruyue next to me, because the route is an auxiliary type, is now tired and a little distracted.
I was able to hold on thanks to following Somo.
If a person is alone in this endless desert, he is probably not far away from being forcibly teleported by the game.
"How about asking Su Shen for help and seeing if we can trade some water?" Guan Mao suggested.
But Zhang Jun then denied it, "It's useless. What they collected in the morning has probably been finished by now."
"We don't have many points, so we can either keep them and buy them from merchants, or"
Pointing to the ground, the implication was very obvious.
Instead of using your precious points to directly exchange for fresh water, you might as well see if you can exchange them for a water collection device.
After all, the former is a one-time deal, while the latter can last for many days.
"Let's go, the break is over."
"I just looked at the map. If nothing unexpected happens, we should reach the border of the first stage of the desert in another thirty kilometers today."
The three of them were all a little sluggish. Seeing this, Sumo came over and said softly.
I have to say that the trick of looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst is really useful.
When she heard thirty kilometers and the boundary of the first stage, Xi Ruyue's distracted eyes suddenly focused.
"Phase one?"
"Yes, the lines on the map show that every 120 kilometers should be the boundary of a stage."
"The area we are stepping on right now is bare and useless."
Speaking of this, Sumo changed his tone:
"But it is likely that in the next stage, the surface will no longer be so empty. There will be plants and some materials that we can use."
"Maybe traders will show up and bring a wave of supplies."
Upon hearing this, the three people's eyes were filled with anticipation.
But when I heard the word businessman, my expectation suddenly turned into longing, and then into desire.
Yesterday they only bought three bottles of water, leaving a balance of 350 points.
After completing the mission of Walking Through the Scorching Sun, the points increased by 20, and now there are 370 points in the account.
Enough to buy seven bottles of water!
After calculating this number, a rare stream of body fluid appeared in the mouth.
The disappeared physical strength seemed to reappear, and the body stood up as driven by thoughts.
"Let's go."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Soma said no more.
The group of people covered their heads with coats, formed a long line and set off again.
With full expectations, the rest of the journey went extremely smoothly.
Even compared to that in the morning, the temperature at noon has already exceeded the 40 mark.
The speed of the three of them did not slow down at all, and even sped up a bit.
With everything going so smoothly, it was only half past four in the afternoon.
After reaching the top of a sand dune, Somo suddenly stopped, with a strange look in his eyes.
"arrive!"
"Sure enough, the line is drawn here!"
arrive?
The exhausted three people under the sand dune couldn't think of conserving their energy at this time, and hurriedly gritted their teeth and rushed up.
Look into the distance.
Wherever you look, the desert in the distance has indeed changed.
In the boundless yellow, there are finally some unclear black dots mixed in.
When the wind blows, the small dots still flicker, like plants moving in the wind.
And right at the border between the two places, a figure of three people longing for each other was standing there.
It's a businessman!
"Oh my god, if he doesn't show up again, I suspect I will be forcibly teleported by the game!"
Xi Ruyue sat down and laughed blankly.
It was only one day, but she felt like it was like a year.
Unlike the lack of water in the early days of the wasteland, you can still passively survive in the shelter and think of ways.
In this desert of fire.
As contestants, they must actively push themselves to keep moving forward and challenge their physical and mental limits.
The concepts of the two are completely different, and the pain of the latter is far ten times or a hundred times greater than that of the former!
"However, it seems that someone arrived before us."
Qi Jie also climbed up and looked around the merchant with squinted eyes.
There were two vague figures standing near the merchant, seemingly selecting goods for purchase.
"It's not human, it's a foreign race."
Su wiped the sweat from his head and narrowed his eyes.
With the help of the Eye of True Seeing, he could see more things than the four of them.
Right near the merchant, there were two humanoid aliens who were the first to arrive.
It’s the Centaur tribe!
The long and narrow horse face has deep-set cheeks, large and bright eyes, and large nostrils to dissipate heat.
The four horseshoes below have clear outlines, smooth lines, and are wrapped in strong muscles.
"No wonder we got here so early. The specialty of the centaurs is endurance."
"But that's all."
Sumo lowered his head and looked at his legs.
I was shaking a little because of the long journey.
But being able to keep up with the speed of four legs with two legs already means that the two centaurs have lost their huge advantage in the early stage.
"Foreign races, then us."
"It's okay, there are restrictions in the game, they don't dare to do anything."
Su Mo raised his hand and his calm voice gave several people a shot in the arm!
The three of them could not hold back any longer and ran towards the merchant.
This formation frightened the two alien tribesmen and they were stunned, and they subconsciously wanted to retreat.
"I want to buy water, buy water!"
Xi Ruyue was the first to rush over, shouting impatiently from about ten meters away.
Guan Mao and Zhang Jun followed closely behind, even imagining the taste of fresh water rushing into their mouths.
However.
"Why is there no water here?"
Opening the manual, Xi Ruyue's face turned cold and suddenly became ugly.
Not only was there no fresh water, there were no black bread, shovels, or windproof tents.
Instead, there are things that no one can use now.
"This businessman doesn't sell water?"
He saw two men and horses looking at him in the distance, and suddenly they retreated as if facing a formidable enemy.
Sumo walked up with a smile.
"Yes, no wonder these two aliens didn't buy it. What this merchant is selling is not what we want now. What kind of modular micro studio do we want in the desert? And this thing costs one thousand points, what do we get now?
purchase?"
Xi Ruyue smiled bitterly and nodded, her face dark, as if her whole body had been drained.
No water means they have to spend fifty points trying to refresh.
Who will spend the money?
Not only are they short of water, but the two alien races are also short of water. Spending money to refresh them is equivalent to giving the other party an advantage.
