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

Su Mu took a deep breath and began to analyze.

Red Bean Resort, judging from the name, should be a tourist attraction. The pirate ship ride must be located in an amusement park.

This kind of place has a large flow of people, many buildings, and complex terrain. If monsters are lurking there, there's likely more than one.

On the other hand, such open spaces offer a wide field of vision, making it easier to observe and evacuate.

To go or not to go?

Su Mu acted almost without hesitation.

go with.

He had already experienced the value of the bronze treasure chest... that level 2 bulletproof vest saved his life. The silver treasure chest had yielded a pistol, seeds, and a power potion, instantly doubling his strength.

The lucky wheel sounds like a place where you can get good stuff.

As for the risks...

With intelligence providing advance warning, a pistol for self-defense, and new talent buffs, if you still don't dare to go, then you'll only be eliminated from this game?

Su Mu made up his mind and began to make preparations.

He glanced at the time; it was exactly 10:00 AM. At a cable car speed of 5 kilometers per hour, it would take nearly an hour and a half to reach the Red Bean Resort.

There is plenty of time.

Su Mu first took stock of the supplies.

Food and water are sufficient; no additional replenishment is needed.

He checked the axe as well; it still had 87 durability left, which was enough.

Then he looked at the two animal traps.

One has 18 durability left, and the other has 8.

Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then put both animal traps into his backpack.

I don't know if I'll need it today, but it's always good to have it with me.

Then he filled his backpack with a bottle of water, a loaf of bread, and a few pieces of chocolate.

The axe was tucked into one side of his waist, and the pistol was tucked into the other.

After doing that, Su Mu looked at the private chat on the screen.

Last night before going to bed, he asked to receive the blueprints for the wooden arrows.

I posted a purchase request and then ignored it. Now when I open it, I see that there are indeed many red dots in the private chat.

He clicked in and browsed through it.

Most of them are looking to get something for free:

"Boss, please give me some food! I'm starving, and I don't have any blueprints..."

"Could I borrow some food first? I'll pay you back tenfold later!"

"Please, just give me a bottle of water, may you have a peaceful and happy life!"

Some wanted to exchange them for something else:

"Would you like to trade your iron ingots for food? I have two iron ingots."

"Three servings of glass essence for one serving of food, interested?"

Su Mu read through them one by one, ignoring them all.

Nobody has the blueprints for the wooden arrow.

He exited the private chat and glanced at the trading channel again.

Similarly, no one is selling any other blueprints.

Come to think of it, yesterday is over, and today we can collect resources again. Those who have blueprints would have traded them long ago, they wouldn't have left them until now.

but......

Su Mu glanced at the lively team-up discussion in the channel.

With so many people going down today, they might be able to produce more blueprints for circulation when they come back tonight.

We'll see when the time comes.

After watching for a while, time passed quickly.

The cable car continued forward, getting closer and closer to the green coordinate point.

Su Mu stood by the window, looking out through the glass.

The view ahead gradually became clearer.

There is a colorful cluster of buildings there, with red roofs, white walls, and villa-style houses scattered in a well-organized manner.

In the center, you can vaguely see a huge amusement park ride, which looks like a pirate ship or a Ferris wheel.

The roads were painted in bright colors, and the words "Welcome to Hongdou Resort" were faintly visible on the road signs.

Su Mu glanced at the system map.

The green coordinates are located within that cluster of buildings, approximately two kilometers from his current position.

According to his plan, he did not intend to land directly in the village.

Instead, we went in from the outside, because there might be a lot of monsters in the village, and going in directly would be dangerous.

From the outside, he can observe the situation inside and make specific judgments.

Therefore, after glancing under the cable car and finding no signs of any moving monsters, he pressed confirm.

The next moment, the cable car doors opened automatically, and a purplish-black vortex appeared out of thin air.

Su Mu took a deep breath, slung his backpack over his shoulder, grabbed an axe in one hand and a pistol in the other, and stepped into the vortex.

......

When his vision returned, Su Mu found himself in a bamboo forest.

It's called a bamboo forest, but it's not really a pure bamboo grove...

The bamboo sparsely scattered among some broad-leaved trees, and the clearings in the woods were fairly open with a good view.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Su Mu glanced around at his surroundings.

There was no sign of any monster.

But he did not let his guard down, gripping the axe tightly, his gaze slowly sweeping over every shadow and every clump of bushes.

Only after confirming that it was safe did he begin to observe the terrain.

In the distance, the outlines of sparse houses could be vaguely seen... red roofs and white walls—the same resort complex we had seen from the cable car. That must be the visitor center or accommodation area.

Further away, the colorful amusement facilities could be seen in and out of sight.

After confirming that there is no danger in the surrounding area.

Su Mu first checked the map to determine the retreat location.

Su Mu frowned after looking at the three retreat locations.

These three locations: one is in the direction of the town ahead, one is further behind the town, and the other is in a completely different direction from his intended destination.

Therefore, the retreat points you can choose are either retreat points within the town or the point far in front of the town.

Which two to choose depends on the situation, but both of them require moving forward.

Therefore, Su Mu determined the direction and began to approach the housing area.

They walked very lightly.

Every few steps, he would stop to observe his surroundings and make sure there was nothing unusual before continuing.

They walked like that for several minutes without any danger.

The forest was quiet, eerily quiet... There were no birdsong, no insect chirping, and even the wind was barely audible.

Su Mu frowned and continued walking forward.

After walking for a while, a faint smell of blood wafted into my nostrils.

He immediately stopped, crouched down slightly, and scanned his surroundings warily.

There was no movement.

The smell of blood was coming from ahead.

Su Mu gripped his axe tightly, lowered his body, and slowly approached.

After walking about twenty meters, he found the thing at his feet...

一只猫。

Or rather, half a cat.

The body lay sprawled in the grass, torn in two from the waist down by something. The front half was still intact, but the hind half was missing. The internal organs were dried and blackened, lying on the ground. The fur was covered in dirt and blood, and one could vaguely make out that it had originally been an orange-yellow house cat.

Su Mu squatted down and examined the wound carefully.

It wasn't cut with a knife, nor was it hit with a blunt object.

It's tearing and biting.

The wound had jagged edges, muscle fibers were violently torn apart, and there were clear teeth marks on the bone. It looked like something had bitten him and torn him in two.

Su Mu stood up, his expression becoming more serious.
