The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

Su Mu looked up at the window.

Although it was still unclear, the overwhelming sense of oppression could be felt even through the glass.

He turned on the cable car.

【Bear Trap ①: Triggering...】

【Bear Trap ②: Triggering...】

[Ding! The bear trap has caught its prey.]

[Ding! The bear trap has caught its prey.]

Two notifications sounded almost simultaneously.

Su Mu's spirits lifted.

Is this... the final sprint?

The impacts outside the window grew increasingly frantic, as if those eerie bats were launching a final assault.

Su Mu stared intently at the state of the two animal traps.

【Bear Trap ①: Captures a Lv1 Wicked Bat, 1% chance of escape... Failed to escape, killing it...】

【Bear Trap ②: Captures a Lv1 Wicked Bat, 1% chance of escape... Failed to escape, killing in progress...】

[Ding! Killed a Lv1 Creepy Bat, experience points +1.]

[Ding! Killed a Lv1 Creepy Bat, experience points +1.]

.......

Another hour passed.

Experience points: 91/100.

Then......

It's quiet now.

There were no more crashes outside the window.

The dark figures gradually disappeared into the thick fog, as if they had never existed.

Su Mu stared blankly at the experience bar.

91/100.

It's almost time.

Su Mu took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Forget it.

You can't force it.

He glanced at the time: 4:20 a.m.

There are still several hours until dawn.

Su Mu retrieved the two animal traps.

The second one has 18 durability left, while the first one only has 8.

Then click to pick up the fallen boxes.

I was lucky this time, I got 7 boxes.

Su Mu opened them one by one.

[Obtained: Mystic Crystal x1]

[Obtained: Mystic Crystal x1]

[Obtained: Mystic Crystal x1]

[Obtained: Mystic Crystal x1]

[Obtained: Mystic Crystal x1]

7 treacherous crystals.

There are no blueprints.

Su Mu was not disappointed.

Blueprints are rare to begin with. Getting even one crafting table blueprint is considered lucky.

He carefully put away all the strange crystals and then glanced at the amount of nutrients: 37 portions.

Including the loot from killing goblin cubs on the first day, his current resource situation is as follows:

[Food]: 33 bottles of mineral water, 22 packs of instant noodles, 25.5 servings of bread, 24 bars of chocolate. [Materials]: 4 Glass Essences, 8 Mysterious Crystals, 37 Nutrients, 1 liter of Fuel.

[Special Items]: Level 1 Strength Breakthrough Talisman x1, M500 Revolver x1 (7 bullets)

[Drawings]: Planting platform drawing (not yet studied)

[Skill]: Gathering Lv1, Disassembly Lv1: (37/100)

[Experience Points]: Level 1: (91/100)

Su Mu looked at this 91 and felt a strong urge to try it.

He was just 9 points away from level 2. If he had another wave of attacks, he could have reached level 2.

pity......

Su Mu shook his head, forcing himself to stop thinking about it.

Although I was itching to try it myself, I had no choice but to accept the result. After all, gaining 37 experience points overnight was already a pleasant surprise.

You should know that he risked his life to kill so many goblin cubs during the day, and he only got 54 points.

He was just about to close his eyes and doze off for a little while when suddenly...

"Smack!"

A dull thud.

It wasn't the dense "tap-tap" sound like before, but rather the feeling of someone slapping a large lump of wet mud hard against the glass.

Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes.

What is that?

Outside the window, it was still pitch black, with thick fog rolling in, making it impossible to see anything. But he could clearly sense that this impact was completely different from the previous attacks by the strange bats.

The previous impacts were light, fragmented, and dense.

The impact was heavy, dull, and powerful.

Su Mu subconsciously looked at the cable car status panel.

Current Armor: 40/40

[Durability: 98%]

Fortunately.

The previous barrage of attacks only reduced durability by 1% in an hour. These two heavy blows did not cause any additional damage.

Su Mu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, the relief wasn't quite over yet...

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Three times in a row.

The frequency is much higher than before.

Su Mu frowned, staring intently out the window. But all he could see was darkness; he couldn't see anything at all.

You can only hear the sound.

The "splatter" sound continued incessantly, occurring every ten seconds or so. Su Mu counted the splatters while keeping an eye on the durability.

5th... 8th... 12th...

When the "splat" sound accumulated to more than twenty times, the durability jumped from 98% to 97%.

Su Mu frowned even more deeply.

It takes about five minutes to grind off 1%.

At this rate, with two or three hours until dawn, it's impossible to wear out the durability.

The problem is, he hasn't found a way to repair the reduced durability.

We can't let him wear himself out like that.

Su Mu reached for the pistol at his waist.

But then slowly put it down.

In the darkness, I really couldn't hit him.

Even if it's an attack on a weakness in the rules.

He had tested this before in a goblin lair.

For example, a small goblin is behind other cover and knows that it is behind it.

But the axe thrown at the opponent would not hit them.

Su Mu guessed that the other party needed to be within his field of vision.

Another problem is that if the axe he throws is too far away, although it can still hit the opponent's weak point, the damage will be reduced. Therefore, he guessed that if the opponent's range is beyond his attack range, he will not be able to hit them.

It was pitch black outside the window, and he couldn't even see the thing's shadow, so firing a gun would be a waste of bullets.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that the attack range of this thing might be beyond his effective range.

Otherwise, given the nature of his talent that allows any attack to target a monster's weak point, even if he fired blindfolded, the bullets should still fly automatically.

Su Mu could only sit there helplessly, listening to the "splattering" sounds outside the window, watching the durability drop little by little.

97%...

96%...

After a dozen minutes of "splattering," the durability dropped to 96%.

Su Mu was already numb.

Oh well, I'll just consider it a few mosquito bites. I'll deal with it when it gets light.

However, at that moment...

"Snap!"

A crisp metallic click.

Su Mu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at the cable car control interface.

【A bear trap ①: A trap used to catch prey.】

[Struggling state: Intense]

[Probability of escape: 50%......45%......40%......]

Su Mu's pupils contracted.

Elite Spectral Bats?!

He quickly switched to the roof view—although it was pitch black, a blurry outline could be vaguely seen through the system interface.

That thing was much larger than a regular grotesque bat.

If a regular swarm bat is the size of a fist, then this one is the size of a basketball.

And it was struggling violently.

The ordinary bats that were caught earlier struggled, but their struggles were minimal and they had no chance of breaking free.

But this strange bat is clearly different.

Su Mu could see through the system interface that the steel teeth of the animal trap were trembling slightly, and the durability of the trap was rapidly decreasing.

【Bear Trap ① Current Durability: 8/30】

[Struggling... Durability -1... 7/30]

[Struggling... Durability -1... 6/30]

Su Mu's heart was racing.

Is this thing really going to break free?

He picked up the axe almost reflexively, and reached for the pistol at his waist with his other hand.

Then, staring intently at the struggling silhouette on the screen, he clicked "Reclaim Prey" in an instant.

He has only one thought in mind right now...

I'll make you slap me for ages!

Without hesitation, Su Mu immediately clicked on "Reclaim Prey".
