Chapter 18: Survival of the Ice Fields

The wind was howling, and the earth was covered in snow and ice, and half-palm-sized snow flakes were flying in the air.

It is located at 69.75 degrees north latitude, within the Polar Circle.

The latitude of death.

Here, monotonous white is the only color visible to the naked eye.

A large area of white, a white snowfield that makes the eyes painful and reflects the light that stings the skin.

The undulating rock occasionally reveals a small part of the ugly blue-black, which looks cold, and mixes with the wind and snow dance, forming ugly black and white interlaced pockmarks on the ground.

There are places where there are weak grasses and haggard trees that look fragile but are in fact unusually strong—there is no simple creature that can survive at this latitude.

"So, did we cross over?" In the cold wind, a timid girl said.

"I guess it's time to cross over." The other girl's voice sounded inexplicably confident.

"It's better to say that it's finally crossed."

"The two of us play "The End of Civilization" every day, and we don't wear it until the end, it's unbelievable to say it."

"It's more infuriating than incredible."

The two girls sang and harmonized in the cold wind, making a "poof" sound from time to time, because the wind blew the snow flakes into their mouths.

"I've only crossed it now, and I don't feel like I'm catching up with it." A teenage girl continued.

"It's because I didn't make it to the trip that the birthplace of civilization was assigned to the ice field."

"The first to join the game will be divided into rainforest areas, followed by subtropical, temperate, and tundra...... When we get to us, we will naturally be divided into ice fields. The game's matchmaking system, even if it crosses over, is still working tenaciously. ”

"Hehe,This picture is hopeless.,I don't want to play anymore.,Change the picture.。

"I advise you to be sober."

The two girls who spoke, one of them, had a supple black hair and a plump and well-proportioned figure, and despite falling into this situation, there was still a confident smile on his face.

The other girl, with crisp short hair, has an expressionless face, has been expressionless, and has no idea what she is thinking, and her body is so weak and slender that people are worried that they will be blown down by the wind.

One of them is called Xia Xiao and the other is Qiu You, and the two are senior gamers and family squatters.

The two are roommates who share a house, have no jobs, and are idle people in society, one does live broadcasts, the other makes videos, and makes a living from platform salaries and audience tips.

The two have in common that they both like to play "The End of Civilization". Even if they learned the news that "playing "The End of Civilization will cross", it still didn't stop the two of them.

They don't care about crossing at all, or rather, they wish they could cross quickly, because most of them have crossed, and their lives are almost unsustainable.

As a result, after almost half of the people on the blue star disappeared, the two of them crossed over and were assigned to the ice field to start the game.

"Then again, since the game's matchmaking mechanic is still working, why are you next to me!" Xia Xiao said suddenly.

"I want to ask that question too." Qiu You said expressionlessly, "Maybe this is fate." ”

According to the game's intrinsic distribution mechanism, within a certain range of the birthplace of a civilization, there will be no other civilizations.

This is "The End of Civilization", not "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", there will be no other civilization at the very close point at the beginning, and then it will be forced into a boosting rhythm, and then one of the unlucky guys will be decisively out, and the game will take less than half an hour.

However, in the rare case of a bug, there will still be two civilizations in the same birthplace, living next to each other.

In general, the player's reaction is not "shocked" or "furious", but "overjoyed".

Because in this way, you can experience an early boost, and if you win, you will have a wave of fat, and if you lose the push, it doesn't matter if you start the next game.

So this bug has not been fixed so far.

Qiu You said: "Actually, I think it's a good thing that the place of birth is in the same place, you see, we are so familiar that it is more comfortable to form an alliance." And, in my wisdom, add your ...... Well, you're brave, you're going to be able to make a difference. ”

"Phew, you're brave," Xia Xiaojiao scolded, "I also think it's a good thing to be born together, but it's better if it's not on the ice field!" ”

Qiu You also nodded, she looked back at the clansmen behind her, all wrapped in seal skins, shivering in the cold wind, and her heart couldn't help but dim a little.

Neither of them had ever played the Icefield map, as they had barely been assigned to the Icefield.

Even if they are assigned to the ice field, normal people will definitely quit the game immediately and start to play the next game.

After all, for a civilization, the place of birth determines half of the situation, or even more than half. No one who comes to play the game wants to disgust themselves.

The two of them also pursue pleasure in playing games, and sometimes they will even keep quitting and re-entering, just to brush up on a resource-rich birthplace.

It's just that this one is different. This one can't be farmed.

None of them had ever played the icefield map, so they didn't know anything about how to survive.

On ordinary maps, the first thing to survive and develop is water, food, and where to live. On the ice field, all these resources are obtained in different ways, and even bathing and toileting are problematic.

Xia Xiao was depressed as she studied how to start, and suddenly made a discovery: "Being born in the ice field is not useless, you see, we have a lot of civilization characteristics." ”

Qiu You also clicked on his window. Sure enough, under the introduction of their civilization, there are many favorable civilization characteristics:

【Cold and frost resistant】The body adapts to cold areas and basically does not catch a cold.

[Rough Skin] Initial Armor +3 for combat units.

[Long physical strength] can eat and sleep, eat a meal for a day.

Polar nomads can use fewer resources to establish settlements, and after establishing settlements, the cost of migration is small.

[Master of Domestication] can domesticate wild monsters with social systems, which can degenerate and tame beast civilizations.

"Wow, how come there are so many qualities, is this the beginning of the icefield?" Xia Xiao's eyes were brightening, and she casually sent her panel to Qiu You.

Qiu You glanced at her panel, sent her own panel over, and said, "Mine is basically the same, it seems that it is indeed born in the Ice Field." However, there is a difference. ”

On Qiu You's panel, there is no [Domestication Master] trait, instead of [We are hunters].

【We Are Hunters】Special attack on seals, musk bulls, polar bears, and narwhals. Fishing starts at a level of proficient.

"Cow beep." Xia Xiao praised from the bottom of her heart, "With this panel, it's not impossible to survive in the Polar Circle." ”

Qiu You nodded: "Yes." ”

"Alas, since we can't brush the picture, then let's treat this game as a game of life with caution."

Qiu You said expressionlessly: "Let's form an alliance." ”

Xia Xiao nodded, the palms of the two clenched, and then quickly retracted into their sleeves.

It's too cold.

"I looked and there was a lake on the left for fishing, and there seemed to be a pack of hounds in front of me, so I could try to tame it. It seems to be summer now, and you should be able to find berries. ”

"Luck is actually not bad, if the luck is a little better, and the beginning encounters a natural disaster or something, it will be even better." The girl said.
