Chapter 86: The Omen
Lin Hai walked very slowly, and he stopped for a while, not that he was timid, but it was the first time he entered this strange and dangerous Gobi, and instinctive caution had the absolute upper hand.
Lin Hai was carrying a half-human-tall backpack on his back, which was full of essential supplies for survival in the wilderness, and Lin Hai didn't buy any of the various life-saving props that Jarvis was trying to promote.
This is his decision after careful consideration, in fact, Jarvis has been subtly distorting the original intention of the trial copy, which Lin Hai only figured out after deliberately leaving Jarvis's grocery store to calm down, maybe Jarvis did this just to make more money, or maybe it was something else, fortunately, Lin Hai hesitated because of the heartache of the large amount of soul energy points, otherwise he might really be deceived.
Although those soul energy points are not Lin Hai's, but are paid by the black cat in advance, and the repayment needs to wait until Ye Xuexin and Lin Hai grow up, saying that it is a million profits, but there is still a risk, although the soul energy points of the black cat Lin Hai is not distressed, but there is always a little weakness.
Of course, wasting a large amount of soul energy points is still secondary, and more importantly, if Jarvis deviates from his original intention and wants to return to the original path, there may be some twists and turns, wasting a lot of time and energy, and time is exactly the price that Lin Hai is most unwilling to pay.
Knowing his intention to test the dungeon, Lin Hai naturally wouldn't look for any shortcuts, so he thought about it a little deeper, could he really walk through the dangerous Gobi safely and successfully break through his bottleneck after reaching his goal? What is the basis for this?
Unless someone told Lin Hai that there was some magical power at the destination that could directly ignite the trialists, or that there was some magical ritual or altar there that could directly enlighten the trialists and break the shackles and break through the bottleneck that plagued the awakened in one fell swoop, why could they break through the bottleneck after walking through the Gobi safely?
The only answer is probably on this road to becoming stronger, as Claire said, this is a road to the other side, the focus is not on the other side, but on this road.
So Lin Hai decided to take this road honestly, and use his own experience and heart to comprehend everything he encountered on this road, and he believed that the secret that could make him stronger must be in it.
Therefore, Lin Hai only bought the necessities for survival in the wild, and as for the soul energy props, he didn't buy any of them, of course, Lin Hai, who claimed to have a shortcut to the survival tutorial, of course he didn't buy it, which made Jarvis very regretful.
As for Adrian who he saw in the camp, Lin Haixu resolutely rejected his colleague's suggestion after some wrongdoing, and at the same time said that he would not set off until Adrian left, and kept an eight-hour interval.
Adrian didn't force it, but just expressed disdain for Lin Hai's vigilance and vigilance, and his attitude towards Lin Hai became less friendly, maybe he felt that Lin Hai's behavior had broken his face, or that Lin Hai's personality was not compatible with him, in short, until he left, he didn't take the initiative to talk to Lin Hai again.
Lin Hai didn't think so, and even felt that it was just his own way, it was said that when he first arrived in such a strange place, Lin Hai should ask experienced seniors for some news, but the black cat's silence about the trial copy made Lin Hai very vigilant, so he even avoided asking for news as much as possible, for fear that others' senses of the trial copy would interfere with his judgment.
However, Claire and Jarvis both solemnly warned Lin Hai that he was still very attentive, so after leaving the camp, he really 'step by step' for the camp, looking up and down, left and right for a while with each step, and only moving forward after making sure that there was no danger, so that the speed could be imagined.
Unconsciously, Lin Hai walked peacefully to the twilight, Lin Hai looked back, but found that he could vaguely see the flagpole standing high in the center of the camp, he tossed for most of the day, but he didn't go far, although the visual distance on this endless wilderness was far enough, but at most it would not exceed fifteen kilometers, and there was no one at this speed.
Lin Hai shook his head helplessly, after all, he didn't know anything about survival in the wilderness, and the only bit of knowledge he had came from some videos he had seen sporadically on the Internet, plus Lin Hai himself was forceless, although he was a little too cautious, but it was also understandable.
After looking left and right for a while, Lin Hai found a ridge and decided to camp here for the night, listening to Jarvis say that it is not a good idea to walk at night in the wilderness, it is basically an act of looking for death.
Coming to the edge of the ridge less than half a meter high, Lin Hai carefully bent down to check the ground around the ridge, mainly to see if there were any traces of animal activity here.
Lin Hai did not have a tent in his backpack, that thing was a scourge in the wasteland, and a sandstorm blew over, and any tent was blown away, according to Jarvis's suggestion, Lin Hai bought a large piece of rain cloth, strong and light, and then nailed it up and down the ridge with barbed steel drills, forming a small low earth nest.
If he can't find a suitable ridge, then Lin Hai will dig a pit in the ground, and then he can still make a soil nest, which is extremely windproof, even if it is buried by sand and dust, as long as a ventilation port is dug in time.
There is also the soil nest is not conspicuous, after some measures are taken around the soil nest, those dangerous animals as long as they are not too close, generally will not be found, especially flying animals, it is more difficult to find the trainers hidden in the soil nest, so the soil nest is the best way to camp in the wilderness.
After arranging the soil nest, Lin Hai took out a finger-sized bottle again, opened the lid, and carefully sprinkled the brown liquid inside within two or three meters of the soil nest, which is an insect repellent and odor elimination agent, and a treasure to prevent insects and predators from discovering.
After all this was done, Lin Hai got into the dirt nest, pulled the backpack in, and then half-lay down in the dirt nest rummaging through the food and water in the backpack, ready to eat the first dinner in the wasteland.
Lin Hai didn't plan to look for something like fragrant root to eat, at the beginning of entering the Gobi, he had to eat the food he was carrying, on the one hand, it could reduce the weight, and on the other hand, it could prevent the food from spoiling, and those foods were not vacuum-packed high-calorie foods, just some air-dried dry food and dried meat.
This is also what makes Lin Hai unable to complain, you say that you have a virtual copy, can you use it so much, what you want to eat in this kind of copy is just a matter of the creator's idea, but you have to play so rustic, the creator's taste is really incompatible.
It was getting dark, and the temperature dropped rapidly, but fortunately, the warm effect of the wide robe was first-class, so that Lin Hai, who was well fed and drunk, did not feel too cold.
Lin Hai didn't feel sleepy, his mind popped up from time to time with thoughts about Ye Xuexin, as well as confusion and thinking about the future, through the low and narrow perspective of the ground, Lin Hai could see the stars in the night sky, although the starry sky was very unfamiliar, but it was still magnificent and moving.
......
Dozens of kilometers away from Lin Hai, Adrian was also huddled in a nest, he was heating the fragrant drink with a fireless stove, smelling the aroma of the fragrant drink with a comfortable face, while squinting his eyes through the observation hole left behind to look at the distant night sky.
", why is it a month today! Bad luck, I hate this copy of the calendar anymore. ”
In fact, Adrian also knows that it is not that there is no calendar in this world, but that the cycle of stars and planets in this world is only one day, and how the next day will turn is completely random, because this is only a virtual world, and there is no complete galaxy operation system.
The so-called continuous moon means that there are four moons of different sizes and colors in the night sky, and the planet has four moons, if the four moons happen to appear in the same night sky at the same time, then the animals of this world will be extraordinarily active, and the climate change will also be extraordinarily active, and the probability of disastrous weather will increase greatly.
For the trialists, this is by no means good news, Adrian knows that his idea of wanting to sleep steadily is probably going to be frustrated, and he hopes to get through it tonight without having to get the lunch box again, he has already swiped this copy nine times, do you want to come for the tenth time?
Adrian took out the jar containing the drink from the heating oven, twisted the lid and took a sip slowly, sighed with satisfaction, and suddenly thought of the cautious guy he met yesterday, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, and after thinking that someone would be unlucky with him, or even more unlucky than himself, Adrian was in a good mood.
After drinking a little drink, Adrian packed up his things, then thought about it, took out a soul energy prop and put it in the position where he could take advantage of it, took out a black round metal box, pressed it and threw out the dirt nest, it was a soul energy prop, which was used to interfere with the perception of all living beings.
After doing this, Adrian untied the multi-purpose shovel from the back of his backpack and began to dig on the side, he planned to dig a hole in the ground as much as possible, firstly, to fight against possible disasters, and secondly, in case it was discovered by predators, it could also minimize the impact surface and improve his chances of survival.
......
Lin Hai didn't know what the phenomenon of continuous moon was, let alone the disaster weather and biological rampage that continuous moon would bring, but Lin Hai still felt a trace of uneasiness from the oppressive atmosphere.
It's so quiet, doesn't it say that there are many animals in the wilderness, and that the night is a paradise for predators? But how can it be so quiet, what is even more strange is that the wind has stopped, although Lin Hai knows nothing about meteorology, but people with a little common sense know that an overly stable atmosphere is a precursor to atmospheric activity, this is the calm before the storm.
Although Lin Hai didn't know how to deal with it, he knew that he must not run out, so the only way should be to hide more tightly, but Lin Hai didn't know what he was going to face, so he didn't know how to hide, but he still packed his things into the backpack, and then tied the backpack tightly to his body, if the backpack was lost, he couldn't survive in the wilderness at all.
There was a low sound in the distance, like the low cry of some kind of animal, and like thunder in the distance, and then, the alert Lin Hai seemed to feel that the ground was trembling slightly, and this tremor was becoming more and more obvious, and at the same time, the low sound like rolling thunder was getting louder and louder.
Lin Hai was terrified in his heart, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only hide in the ground, holding his hunting knife tightly and trembling.
