Chapter 46
What is this thing? Strange.
Song Yu picked up the sparkling ice cubes on the ground and faced the sun in the sky.
After the cold wave, although the temperature was still cold, the sun unexpectedly appeared, bringing a hint of false warmth.
[Thanks from the Lost: Because of the generosity of players Song Yu and Song Xiaohei, the Lost gave the players their most precious things. ]
generous?
Song Yu was a little confused and thought about what happened yesterday. Was she generous yesterday?
Is it because she and Xiao Hei worked desperately to add firewood, using the firewood to pour gasoline to replenish heat energy for those lost people?
"..."
The expression on Song Yu's face was hard to describe. She and Xiao Hei were indeed quite "generous" yesterday.
The main reason is that we don’t know the details of these monsters, so we should be conservative when we encounter them for the first time.
The firewood, gasoline, charcoal, bamboo and other fuels in their two backpacks and spaces were almost all used up, with only a little gasoline left.
All the firewood and other things were used up.
This thank-you gift was definitely beyond the expectations of Song Yu and Xiao Hei. It was truly a pleasant surprise.
But the thank you gift is just two ice cubes?
She looked at the ice carefully, and it seemed to be wrapped with something.
Song Yu picked up a stone from the ground and carefully broke two ice cubes.
The ice broke apart, revealing its contents.
[Gift from the Lost—Ice Crystal Fruit (Special): After taking it, you will be favored by Winter.]
"?"
Winter's favor?
What does it mean, Winter's Favor?
What a strange description.
Song Yu and Xiao Hei both frowned their faces, looking confused.
How come this system is half hidden and half revealed?
However, since there was no negative description about this thing, she and Xiao Hei just shared it.
It tasted quite sweet. Song Yu savored it and it tasted a bit like blueberries.
After eating the ice crystal fruit, Song Yu didn't feel any changes in his body, and Xiao Hei didn't feel any changes either.
"Forget it, let's go to the shopping street to get some information, and then go back."
Song Yu shook his head, not really caring.
Regardless of whether it worked or not, it was eaten by the two of them.
If it worked, they would both find out sooner or later.
Song Yu and Xiao Hei were very open-minded. They thought the food had already been eaten, so there was nothing to worry about.
After cleaning the house, Song Yu and Xiao Hei came to the shopping street.
Compared to yesterday's bustle, the atmosphere in the shopping district has become a little dull.
Several NPC merchants gathered in Chunmei Town, seemingly discussing something.
Xiao Hei had very sharp ears and heard it immediately, then he whispered it to Song Yu.
“So few people died?”
Mayor Chunmei had a cigarette in his mouth and a frown on his face.
"The outsider attracted most of the attention yesterday, and the planting room and breeding room were not damaged."
"Their numbers are increasing. Even we have a hard time dealing with them."
Chunmei Town actually has planting rooms and breeding rooms, no wonder there is no shortage of food resources.
Before Song Yu and Xiao Hei could hear much, the NPC merchant over there saw them and stopped discussing and went back to their respective shops.
Song Yu was not disappointed. He walked into Mayor Chunmei's shop and handed him three cigarettes.
Mayor Chunmei glanced at Song Yu and accepted it.
This is a good smoke, rare.
"What do you want to ask?"
Mayor Chunberry asked.
"What were those things yesterday?"
"people."
"A person lost in the snow."
"..."
Song Yu smiled politely. Is this what she wanted to know?
Perhaps because he was afraid that Xiao Hei behind Song Yu would snatch the cigarette back, Mayor Chunmei silently lit the cigarette and continued.
"They can no longer be called human beings. There is no one like them. You should have seen that they have been frozen to death long ago."
"But they still think they are human. Because they feel they are still human, they want to go home. They will gather together and follow the track of the wind and snow on the day of the cold wave to find human towns and try to go home."
"Humans have body temperature, but they don't, so they absorb heat energy from everything around them, including normal people."
"As long as they touch you, all your heat will be sucked away instantly. Once they have absorbed all the heat from you, you will become one of them."
"But it's not that difficult to get through the cold wave safely. All you need is enough fuel to get through it."
"If you have the ability, you can just walk out of the room and kill them."
"They couldn't come into the house because they were afraid of the light. The light would clearly show their current appearance, so as long as there was a bonfire burning in the house, they couldn't come into the house."
I don’t know if it was because of the three cigarettes or because Song Yu reduced the losses to the town yesterday. Mayor Chunmei explained it very clearly.
Song Yu nodded, and his guess was similar to what she and Xiao Hei had.
After learning about the monsters on the snowy night, Song Yu did not stay in Chunmei Town for long.
I used the prey caught by Xiao Hei to exchange for 5 large gill nets, 3 professional fishing rods and some miscellaneous cleaning supplies and daily necessities in the town. I also used the 8 bottles of herbal water I made yesterday to exchange for 40 cans of beef.
Afterwards, the man and the dog set out on their journey home again.
After a night of cold snap, we were suddenly back to the poor situation we were in when we first entered the dungeon.
Before she and Xiao Hei left, the NPC merchant with whom she exchanged supplies gave her a very crucial piece of information.
'There are some special beings among those lost ones. They will pretend to be your close ones to confuse you, and will also infiltrate the human team on behalf of the humans they have killed, touched, or even come into contact with.'
'They are very good at this, so be careful who you surround yourself with.'
This information is creepy just by hearing it.
But... Song Yu glanced at Xiao Hei next to him. Those lost people shouldn't be able to disguise themselves as Xiao Hei, right?
Xiao Hei should be careful.
At noon on the sixth day of the game, Song Yu brought Xiao Hei back to the previous logging site.
In the meantime, Song Yu and Xiao Hei spent another night in the black bear cave. The black bear had just died and its smell had not dissipated yet. No animals dared to come here for the time being.
This time during the night, Song Yu found some unexpected things in the black bear cave.
[Black bear feces: can be made into excellent fertilizer, which can reduce the growth time of plants. If you want to eat it, no one will stop you.]
"..."
Who would want to eat poop?
A suspicious look fell on Xiao Hei.
"?!"
Xiao Hei looked back at Song Yu in disbelief, his eyes full of accusations, Xiaoyu, you actually doubted me!
There were 32 piles of black bear feces in total. Song Yu was a little disgusted, but he still put the stuff into the compartment of his backpack.
I don't know when it will be used.
In addition to feces, there is also a large area of soil inside the black bear cave that is mixed with black bear feces and leftovers.
[Level 4 Fertile Soil: can shorten the growth time of plants by 30%. Continuing to add fertile materials into it will make the soil even more fertile.
But if you add lower-grade soil, the fertility of the soil will be diluted and the soil grade will be reduced. It is unknown how long these soils have been accumulated in the black bear cave, and they are terribly fertile.
The quantity is not too large, just 279 kilograms, enough to make one or two planting boxes.
but!
Song Yu's talent exploded, hehehe, after upgrading to the level 4 scavenger talent, there is a 40% chance of exploding double supplies.
558 kilograms of fertile soil can be used to make at least two planting boxes that are 2 meter long, 1 meters wide, and 0.5 meters high. The remaining soil can also be used to make planting pots.
It would be great to grow some potatoes or vegetables.
Why didn’t I notice it the last time I came?
After discovering fertile soil and black bear feces, Song Yu searched more vigorously.
Song Yu even took away all the bones in the black bear cave.
It’s a pity that she didn’t bring back seeds from Springberry Town, but the fruits in her backpack should be able to be bred.
Strawberries, grapes, oranges and the like can also grow in the planting boxes and be bred when you get home.
The black bear cave was completely looted, and Song Yu left contentedly and returned to the logging site.
Tang Hong and her friends have already settled down here, and even the new players who were previously in Lotus Town now live here.
Those small houses that were originally deserted now have a distinct atmosphere of life.
"Xiao Yu!"
"Song Yu?"
"Boss and monsters!!"
The players who were having lunch heard the noise outside and came out to check. Unexpectedly, it was Song Yu and Xiao Hei who came back!
Song Yu and Xiao Hei have been out for more than three days, and we thought they would never come back.
There was a cold wave the night before yesterday and some of them died.
Song Yu took a look and saw that Tang Hong and Brother Yimijiu were both alive, and he also found the other two teammates.
"Xiaoyu."
Tang Hong looked at Song Yu on the sled with great surprise. It was good news for them that Song Yu was still alive.
"Were you okay the night before last?"
Song Yu glanced at the people who came out. Someone was dead.
"Several people died."
Tang Hong sighed imperceptibly and pointed to a small house not far away.
"That house should be the one you cleaned up earlier. We didn't touch it."
When everyone thought of the tragic situation that night, a trace of pity appeared on their faces.
"Do you all know about the situation of the cold wave monster?"
Song Yu got off the sled and put it into the backpack.
A hint of envy appeared in the eyes of several new players. They were so envious. The big guys all had game backpacks, so why didn’t they have one?
"Not much."
After the cold wave ended, Tang Hong and Brother Yimijiu analyzed a lot about the lost people based on the existing information.
However, due to limited information, they currently only have a limited understanding.
Song Yu nodded and directly told everyone the information he had learned from Chunmei Town.
……
"Song Yu, NPC means that the lost people will disguise themselves as players or NPCs and blend in with us?"
The players' faces changed drastically. This was not good news!
"You guys, you didn't come out to kill the Lost that day, right?"
Song Yu didn't know about the others, but Brother Yimijiu and Tang Hong's team definitely had no shortage of supplies.
"..."
They did not answer Song Yu, but from the expressions on their faces, Song Yu knew the answer.
"You guys chat first, I'll go back and clean up the room."
Song Yu smiled politely, threw a big bomb at these players, and then left with Xiao Hei.
It was still early, and after Song Yu cleaned up the house, he took an axe, a barbed net and a fishing rod and headed for the icy lake.
Hunting for food and collecting firewood are both essential.
In another three days, the cold wave will come again.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
After coming out of the house, Song Yu ignored the group of players with ugly faces and left with Xiao Hei.
There are many trees in the logging area, so Song Yu does not need to worry about the risk of all the trees being cut down for the time being.
Along the way, Song Yu kept observing to see if there were any herbs, edible plants, and fertile soil.
Song Yu is good at growing vegetables, and even Xiao Hei knows a little bit. The two have been growing vegetables with their grandmother since they were young.
I never thought about growing vegetables in a game dungeon before, after all, a dungeon only lasts 30 days.
It's like the light is dark.
However, on the way to the ice lake, Song Yu and Xiao Hei found nothing because the temperature was too low.
The lower the temperature, the harder it is for them to find food.
We must collect as much food as possible before it gets too cold.
"Xiao Hei, let's go to Hongwan Town later to see if there are any potatoes or potato sprouts to exchange for some."
There are several towns around the sawmill. Hongwan Town is where the fur shop owner is located, and Lotus Town is the town full of ice where new players will meet.
As for Yuhua Town, the landing area where Song Yu landed, she has not been there yet.
Who wants to deal with a bunch of ogres?
In addition to these three, there is another town called Terraced Fields, which is also covered with frost.
This town sounds like one that would have lots of plant food.
Song Yu and Xiao Hei came to the ice lake. A thick layer of ice had formed on the huge lake, and the fishing hole that Song Yu had broken before had long been "healed".
With Xiao Hei around, Song Yu doesn't need to waste Molotov cocktails anymore, as it can break the ice.
“I think there are a lot of fish here.”
Song Yu and Xiao Hei pointed at a certain place and looked at each other, saying in unison.
"?"
"?"
The man and the dog looked at each other in surprise.
"I think I know what Winter's Favor is."
Song Yu said weakly.
"I think I know it too."
Xiao Hei also answered uncertainly.
Dong’s favor should be like Song Yu’s talent as a scavenger, which has a mysterious feeling.
At first glance it may seem like nothing, but it actually does a lot.
For example, now, Song Yu and Xiao Hei can accurately find the place where the fish gather most in the ice lake.
If only I could apply this feeling to other prey plants...
"Developed!"
Song Yu and Xiao Hei once again spoke in unison!
Finally, we don’t have to worry about food shortages.
Whether it is outdoors or indoors, as long as there are supplies, they will definitely not escape her and Xiao Hei's eyes! !
Moreover, Song Yu had a hunch that the effect of [Winter's Favor] was definitely more than just this!
Thank you Youmengzhiye and book friend 3583 for your monthly ticket support!
It’s finally time to start farming!
