My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1218
[Chapter 1201 Water generator, generous survival!]
There is a total distance of 775 kilometers between the two of them.
“I’m afraid it’s too difficult to go north!”
Qi Jie hesitated.
It is basically impossible to combine this distance with both legs.
Unless you get a desert all-terrain vehicle now, you might as well go to the next terrain to meet up.
“Forget it, the distance is too long.”
“Anyway, the race is not life-threatening. If they can’t help themselves, just quit. We have to find a way out of the desert first.” Sumo shook his head, and his heart went out. Thoughts coming together.
It seems like the game really thought about throwing everyone together.
If all humans gathered now, Sumo believed that it would not be impossible for him to wipe out this businessman with a wave of his arms.
But everyone is scattered, and it is difficult to concentrate on doing big things.
But having said that, spreading out is both a bad thing and a good thing.
At least there will be less competition on the way to find an oasis or water source.
at the same time.
This friend-finding direction coupon is not without its help.
As the map is zoomed in, a rough outline of the desert has appeared on the manual.
The terrain is similar to a rectangle. The two people are currently located at the lower left of the rectangle, and the other light spot is at the upper left of the rectangle.
Looking to the far right, there are two slightly raised triangles above and below.
A blind guess, it should be the exit of the desert terrain.
“Lord, which direction should we set off in?”
“The one on the lower right is close.” Sumo took a general look and made a decision immediately.
Between two points, a straight line is the shortest.
Based on the distance to the light spot above, it can be roughly inferred that the current location should be about 600 kilometers away from the exit on the lower right.
Generally speaking, an experienced hiker can walk 40 to 50 kilometers a day in the desert.
Even if there are routes to increase physical fitness, the human players who come in are like “supermen”.
Considering the current shortage of supplies, I optimistically estimate that it will take at least ten days to get out.
And the large-scale natural disaster will come on the ninth day.
This requires the survivors to drive out within nine days if they do not want to challenge the natural disaster.
One day. At least sixty kilometers!
“The task is heavy and time is tight. Let’s go while we still have good physical strength!”
Sumo picked up two bottles of water, and Qi Jie took the initiative to pick up the small tent on the ground and carry it on his shoulders.
The weight is very light, only about two kilograms, which basically does not affect desert hiking.
Because sharing information can be considered a kind of help, the three people behind saw this and tacitly agreed not to ask any more questions.
After each of them filled a bottle of water at the merchant, they lowered their heads silently and set off.
Brilliant desert.
The endless golden sand dunes undulate like waves, stretching to the sky.
The blazing sun reflected, as if it was about to set the whole world on fire.
Whether human or alien, walking in this desert is like trying to find a grain of sand in the ocean.
No matter what efforts we make, we cannot change the vastness of this desert and our own insignificance.
The players who were hanging high in the sky watching the battle looked at it again and again, and were speechless for a while.
When they first entered to watch the battle, they were looking forward to seeing the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and showing off their magical powers.
But now, the more I look at it, the more boring it becomes.
Not to mention other human players, even Su Shen was moving forward slowly step by step, with no place to learn at all.
On the alien side.
Because the intensity of the knockout round was too great, none of the aliens with the ability to fly were able to enter the main round. Basically, it was all-round humanoid aliens who got the spots.
Compared with humans, life for these humanoid alien races is equally difficult.
Facing the scorching hot desert, we can only move forward slowly one step at a time.
I have to say that compared to the exciting duels in the past, the current competition should be the fairest.
But absolute fairness also means the lack of fun and excitement that makes people applaud.
“It’s difficult to survive in this ghostly terrain, let alone get out of it. Fortunately, there is no desert in the wasteland.” “
Now, it depends on who can find the water source and oasis first!”
Considering the situation of even human Su Shen It’s not optimistic either, and everyone can’t shout the slogan “I can do whatever I want”.
More than 90% of the audience watched for a while and then chose to quit, planning to take advantage of the weather to clear up and prepare for the next migration and spring plowing.
For a moment, the whole world became quiet, leaving only the roaring wind and sand.
[Record]: The daily task ‘Walking through the Scorching Sun’ has been completed.
From early morning to noon.
From noon to evening again.
As the game prompts sounded in his ears, Sumo suddenly raised his head.
The sky is already a little dark.
The temperature in the scorching desert has gradually dropped, and it is no longer so scorching.
Looking back, except for Qi Jie who was still gritting his teeth and persisting, the other three people saw him stop and immediately sat down on the ground tiredly, sticking out their tongues like dogs to dissipate heat.
too tired!
No, I should say I have never been so tired.
Trekking in the desert is physically demanding, and you have to walk in the scorching heat.
If a few people hadn’t set out with enough food and drink, they would have all fallen to the ground by now.
But think about it.
Next, we have to trek more than 60 kilometers every day, which is a hellish challenge!
“That’s it for today. Find a place with leeward wind and rest.”
Sumo coughed slightly, his voice already obviously hoarse when he spoke.
The human body has the ability to adapt to the environment and can change as the surrounding environment changes.
When I first set out in the morning, I felt extremely uncomfortable, but after that I felt much more comfortable.
However, this change has limits.
Squeezing beyond the limit will cause backlash and cause various problems.
“I’ll go find him.”
Qi Jie stood up from the ground, his legs went weak, and he sat down again before he could stand firmly.
Seeing him like this, Sumo could only shake his head and said solemnly.
“Forget it, you sit down and rest for a while.”
After getting familiar with it.
Xi Ruyue chose the rare route ‘Reader’ and was not good at this type of survival adventure.
Although Maomao and Ajun are both “wandering warriors” on the rare route, which focuses on survival in the wild and emphasizes physical strength and strength, it sounds like it is very suitable for the theme of this competition.
But the actual performance is far inferior to Qi Jie who takes the ordinary scavenger route.
It is true that the abilities and attribute points brought by the route can certainly transform an ordinary person. The further he goes, the stronger he becomes, and the distance between him and ordinary people becomes wider and wider.
But in the early stage, this bonus still cannot make up for everything.
Letting several people lie on the sand like a “big” character, Somo gathered his energy and walked around to look around.
If it were on Earth, the temperature of the desert would change in an obvious curve over time.
It is lower in the morning and evening, rises at noon, and drops again at night.
For example, in the famous Sahara Desert, the temperature drops by an average of about 40 degrees overnight, causing the average temperature during the day to reach 45 degrees, but at night it plummets to below zero!
However, the operating rules of this ‘Earth Fire Desert’ are obviously different from those on Earth.
Even though the last trace of the setting sun on the horizon has completely disappeared, only the cold moonlight is left shining around.
The temperature on the surface is still hot, at least around 25 degrees.
There is a reduction, but not much.
Standing on the top of the dune, Soma stretched out his hand and felt the heat waves slowly flowing in the air.
“I don’t know how long this temperature will last, but it’s good news for now.”
If the temperature is extreme on the first day, the contestants will be out of luck.
Those who buy a windproof tent can still resist it, but those who don’t have a tent can only hope for the best.
Slowly sitting down, he let out a breath of heat.
He took out the water bottle in his arms and unscrewed it. There was only about fifty milliliters left in it.
After taking a sip, the burning sensation in my throat was still obvious.
And as time goes by, you can even feel a burning sensation in your lungs when breathing.
“No matter what, we have to find a way to solve the drinking water problem first.”
Licking his chapped lips, Somo glanced at the four people lying not far away, and then looked up at the vast night sky.
The stars are dotted and very bright.
The night sky in the desert is deep and mysterious, showing endless black, as if you can reach out and touch it.
But behind the blackness, there were countless pairs of eyes looking over at this moment.
To prevent system exposure.
After resting for a while, Somo managed to stand up again and returned to the bottom of the dune.
“Get up and hold on for a while longer. We’ll rest there tonight.”
He pointed to the low-lying leeward spot on the other side of the dune.
The four people on the ground also recovered a little strength at this time, and they nodded and stood up.
Ten minutes later, we reached the leeward depression.
“Wow, today is finally over. I’m exhausted!”
“To be honest, if I keep walking, I feel like I will die suddenly.” As soon as
Maomao and Ajun sat down, they took off their shoes with a sad face and looked at the blisters on their feet. worry.
In terms of leg strength, the survivors who have survived to this day are not so delicate.
But this fire desert is really torture, stepping on it is like stepping on a fire.
At the end of the day, it’s 60 kilometers.
Fortunately, the route bonus allows me to recover quickly, otherwise it would be a problem to walk tomorrow.
“Do you still have water? I’m almost out of water here!”
Xi Ruyue whispered, holding the mineral water bottle in her hand, only half of it was left.
The three of them had bought two bottles each before, and they only had this after a long day of walking.
If you can’t find a businessman tomorrow, you will face the risk of having money to spend and being eliminated.
“No, no, we have some left.”
Maomao and Arjun took out the bottle. There was less water in it, only about one-third.
The three of them paused and turned to look at Somo in tacit understanding.
But they saw that the two of them were already busy building a windproof tent, which was almost ready to take shape.
“Lord, we have no water either.”
Qi Jie tugged on the wind ropes on both sides and said in a low voice.
The two of them drank one bottle together before, and Sumo bought two more bottles when they were on their way.
Now after a long day’s journey, we are basically out of ammunition and food, and we are also facing the risk of water shortage.
If he hadn’t seen Su Mo showing any panic from beginning to end, Qi Jie asked himself, he would never have been as calm as he was now.
“It’s okay, give me the three bottles, and I’ll make a simple water-fetching device.”
He probed in and looked at the space inside, making sure that it was blocked by a layer of sky and could not be directly seen.
Sumo turned his head, a reassuring smile appearing on his face.
“Water fetching device?” Qi Jie was in a daze.
It was indeed common in the early days of the wasteland to make water-fetching devices out of simple materials, and most of the survivors basically knew how to do this.
It is nothing more than using the principle of condensation due to the temperature difference between day and night to collect moisture in the air.
But now there is no sign of cooling down in this earth-fire desert.
If there is no temperature difference between day and night,
“Don’t worry, watch your surroundings, and don’t let them disturb me while I’m making it.”
Patting Qi Jie on the shoulder, Su Mo didn’t bother to explain, and got into the small tent.
It’s said to be a single person, but there really isn’t any extra space.
But fortunately, the vertical height is not bad, and moving in a small area after sitting down is not a problem.
After closing the inner zipper of the tent, Somo no longer hesitated and looked at the empty bottle in his hand.
A burst of green light flashed, and the familiar attribute panel appeared.
[Empty Bottle (500ml)]
[Description]: An empty drinking water bottle made of polyethylene (PE).
The panel is ordinary, even if it is made by a businessman, it does not have any special attributes.
But the next second, the following upgrade panel popped up and everything became different.
[Empty bottle (500ml)]
[Upgrade route one]: Simple condensation water dispenser in the field (a simple water dispenser is formed by modifying the bottle body, and uses the temperature difference between day and night to draw water)
Water extraction efficiency: 200ml/night (fixed effect; not affected by the environment)
Survival points for upgrading consumable items: 10
[Upgrade Route 2]: Simple water collector in the wild (uses water-absorbing agent to absorb free water vapor and form water droplets, and collects and gathers water droplets)
Water collection efficiency: 500ml/day (fixed effect; not affected by the environment)
Upgrade consumable items survival points: 20
[Upgrade route three]: Solar atmospheric water distiller (converts light energy into heat energy, the heat energy drives the water in the device to evaporate, and condenses on the condenser to form fresh water)
Water extraction efficiency: 300ml/hour (Requires sufficient sunlight; requires fixed placement)
Upgrade consumable items Survival points: 120
[Upgrade route four]: ‘Adventurer’ water generator (technology from the academy, using special powder for atmospheric replacement reaction, can generate large quantities in a short time Fresh water)
Water intake efficiency: 500ml/time (each use requires special powder*1)
Upgrade consumption items survival points: 200
Special powder selling price: 5 (special survival points)
[Evaluation]: Fetching water from the desert is up to people to be rich and thrifty!
“Well, after the system is upgraded to v1.1, there are quite a few upgrade routes.”
Sumo nodded with satisfaction, thinking and comparing quickly.
If it is a condensation water dispenser made by conventional means, it will of course be affected by the special terrain of the Earth Fire Desert.
However, the system-upgraded water dispenser is much more domineering, and its fixed effect is not affected by temperature differences.
Of course, strong effects also correspond to higher prices.
Compared to when we first came to the wasteland, upgrading the water well only cost 75 points.
If calculated according to the survival points of the previous version, this device requires a full 100 points!
As for the lower ones, they are getting more and more expensive.
In particular, the ‘Adventurer’ water generator requires a full 200 points, and each time it is used, additional special powder needs to be purchased.
But
“Is this technology from the academy?”
Sumo nodded slightly.
After more than half a year of accumulation, you can now see in the system account column that there are 5430 item survival points and 3205 special survival points.
It’s just a water generator. I bought it for 200 points!
Now is no longer the particularly stressful time in the early days of the wasteland, between waiting for water to drink and having a refreshing drink.
Is it a big problem to have a little luxury once in a while?
“Three empty bottles.”
“Just enough to upgrade items one, two, and four!”
