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

When the sunlight pierced his eyelids, Su Mu subconsciously tilted his head.

It's too bright.

He frowned and opened his eyes, only to be met with a blinding golden light...

Sunlight streamed through the glass of the cable car, illuminating the entire cabin.

Su Mu raised his hand to block the view and slowly sat up.

I slept curled up in a pile of packages last night, which wasn't a very comfortable position, and my neck was a little sore. But I felt great physically and had plenty of energy... After reaching level 2, it seems like my whole state of mind has improved.

He glanced at the system time.

09: 34.

I slept for more than four hours.

Su Mu rubbed his temples and habitually glanced at the number of viewers in the upper right corner of the channel.

892 people.

This number gave him a slight pause.

He remembered that there were 903 people before he first went to sleep. With the horde of monstrous bats attacking in the latter half of the night, coupled with the low temperature, he thought at least a hundred or two would die. After all, the level 1 cable car only had 10 points of armor. Although the individual damage from the bats' impacts was low, the cumulative effect over the night was enough to shatter the cable car. Not to mention the elite monstrous bat.

How come 11 people died?

He frowned.

Surely they wouldn't say that those eerie bats in the middle of the night were only after them?

I only upgraded the cable car, I didn't do anything that would incur divine wrath or public resentment, so why should I attract hatred?

But on second thought, the appearance of elite spectral bats is indeed a bit strange. Ordinary spectral bats are everywhere, but there must be a reason for the appearance of elite ones.

Perhaps some quality of the upgraded cable car attracted them?

Su Mu shook his head, unable to figure it out for the time being, and too lazy to delve into it further.

He turned his gaze back to the channel.

After a grueling night, the atmosphere on the channel has clearly changed today.

Yesterday, everyone was still panicking, confused, and waiting to see what would happen, but today they have begun to actively organize themselves.

"Let's team up! We're planning to land in villages or towns so we can stay warm and search for supplies!"

"Anyone want to go together? I saw a town nearby, it's quite big, going as a group would be much less risky!"

"Brother Zhou, could you organize things? We'll follow your orders!"

The veteran named Zhou Zhenguo has become the opinion leader of this area.

He sent a long message:

Zhou Zhenguo: Listen to me, everyone. We must go down and collect supplies today, otherwise tonight will be even harder. But before we go down, there are a few principles that must be followed:

First, try to team up with people who are close to you. The cable cars are numbered consecutively, and people landing around the same time can help each other.

Second, try to choose landing sites in the same area. If you can see obvious landmarks, such as water towers, tall buildings, or chimneys, use that as the rendezvous point.

Third, don't be greedy once you're down there. Gather enough basic supplies and then leave; you must return to the cable car before dark.

Fourth, don't panic when you encounter monsters. Everyone knows goblins' attributes: high strength but low agility, making them strong in groups. If you can't defeat them, run towards your retreat point.

Those who want to team up with me, please state your number and location. I'll try my best to get everyone together.

The message received hundreds of replies.

Some people responded positively, some asked how exactly it was done, and others offered different opinions.

"Brother Zhou, I think we shouldn't go to the town. Although there are fewer supplies in the wild, it's safer. I picked wild fruit in the woods yesterday. I didn't have much, but at least I came back alive."

"Will wild berries keep you warm? It was so cold last night, you were lucky you didn't freeze to death. If we don't search your clothes and blankets today, how are you going to get through the night?"

"Exactly, where can you find clothes and blankets in the wild? You have to go to a place where people live."

"But if there are too many people, won't it attract more monsters? Those goblins live in groups."

The channel gradually split into three factions.

One faction advocates prioritizing safety, suggesting that people go into the wild to collect wild fruits and cut down trees, as resources are scarce but the risks are low.

One faction advocated seeking wealth and fortune through risk, suggesting that people go to towns to search for clothes, blankets, and other valuables.

Another group is taking a wait-and-see approach, feeling that both sides have valid points and not knowing who to listen to.

Zhou Zhenguo did not force a consensus, but simply said:

Zhou Zhenguo: Everyone has their own circumstances, so I won't force anyone. Those who want to go to the town with me, please give me your number, and I'll try my best to organize everyone in the same area. Those who want to go into the wilderness, please form a team so we can look after each other. No matter where we go, coming back alive is the most important thing.

Su Mu watched the discussion without interjecting.

The overall atmosphere was indeed quite good.

While it's certain that some people have ulterior motives, at least on the surface, everyone is still trying to cooperate to survive.

This is a good thing for him.

Only with a stable environment can one develop in peace. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to encounter situations where one has to spend a lot of energy guarding against others. Although one or two people are not a problem, what if there are organized groups that specifically target and exploit others?

However, Su Mu did not let his guard down around the others, after all, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest.

After watching for a while, Su Mu turned off the channel and started his business for the day.

He opened the daily intelligence interface.

[Current available uses: 1]

【use or not? 】

confirm.

The familiar notification sound rang out:

[Intelligence: Below the pirate ship ride at Red Bean Resort, 7.23 km from your current cable car, there is a bronze treasure chest and a level 1 lucky wheel. Please note that a level 2 mutated creature is lurking in this area.]

Two?

Su Mu was slightly taken aback.

No, upon closer inspection, this time it's not two pieces of information, but one piece of information containing two different things.

A bronze treasure chest and a level one lucky wheel.

Su Mu's eyes lit up.

Spin the lucky wheel?

He just chose the rule-based talent "When faced with unknown blind box-like events that are both good and bad, he can always get the best part" yesterday, and today he encountered the roulette wheel?

It's a good time to test the power of this new talent.

However, his attention was quickly drawn to the second half of the sentence: a Lv2 mutated creature was lingering.

Level 2 monster.

If it's a regular level 2 goblin, with his current strength of 26, plus [Lock Weakness] and [Extra Attack], he should be able to take it down in close combat.

But if the other party is an elite with green quality...

Su Mu touched the pistol at his waist.

The M500 revolver, Lv3 green quality, has a base firepower of 22. According to the damage rules we saw before, it should provide a damage bonus against level 2 monsters.

The problem is, there are only 7 bullets.

Furthermore, he didn't know what type of monster this level two monster was. Was it a goblin? Or something else entirely?

More importantly, the intelligence only says "there is one", but that doesn't mean there really is only one.

Just like yesterday's silver treasure chest, the information only indicated a Lv3 mutated creature, but it turned out to be surrounded by hundreds of goblins and nearly ten minotaurs. Of course, it's also possible that the goblins started the battle later.

But at least there was more than one minotaur there.
