Chapter 21: Protecting Those You Want to Protect
[Special Item: Kunyu Map (Normal)]
[A dynamic map that truly feeds back the surface of the earth, you can see the mountains and rivers that are surging in the wind and clouds, you can see the rivers that are flowing endlessly, and you can even observe the phenomenon of day and night]
The scroll is 50 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide.
On the back is a ring-shaped golden emblem, which is slowly rotating at the moment and emitting a pale golden glow.
The emblem is divided into two layers, the inner layer is equidistant with twelve rotating toothed rays, and the outer layer is composed of four identical long-necked, one-legged golden birds flying counterclockwise.
Chen Ye stroked the delicate and soft scroll leather, and could not hide his excitement.
As we all know, the few things necessary for survival in the wild are nothing more than weapons and equipment, food resources, as well as compasses and maps.
And in the perilous world of aliens, these things become even more important.
Chen Ye didn't expect that on the third day after the crossing, he would gather all the survival elements.
Especially when combined with the Resource Probe, dynamic maps become extremely powerful.
It's like a heifer to the South pole, and a cow* to the extreme.
With this map, it is also more convenient to explore the forest in the future.
Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately walked to the edge of the island, wanting to see what was in the depths of the forest as much as possible.
Although the map had only moved less than a hundred meters, the forest in the southwest still showed a black trail.
It didn't look like a river or a mountain.
Could it be a vein?
Chen Ye glanced at the map suspiciously.
Except for a black mark in the center of the island, no other areas have a similar color.
At this time, he suddenly turned his head to look at the watchtower behind him, and his pupils shrank.
The sign in the middle of the island is this safe house.
So, the black line indicates that there is a building deep in the forest?
But after trying for a long time, apart from going to the sea, Chen Ye couldn't see what the situation was in the southwest direction at all.
Because the scale of this map is very high, the islands in the picture are the size of the palm of your hand.
Based on the length and width of the island, which was previously measured by the number of steps, it can be roughly calculated that the map shows an area of about 4.5 square kilometers.
In this area, only one-third of the area is covered by forests, and the rest is all undulating seas.
But there is a good way to solve this problem at hand.
Chen Ye focused his gaze slightly.
[Can consume 15 survival points to strengthen the Kunyu map (normal)]
For a total survival score of two hundred points, 15 points is nothing.
So, he chose to strengthen without hesitation.
A prompt immediately rings in my head:
【Reinforcement Success】
【Quality Improvement of Kunyu Map】
[Congratulations on getting a special item: Kunyu Map (Excellent)]
As the sound fell, the overall shape of the reel did not change.
It's just a white border painted with a moire pattern, which gradually turns into light green.
In addition, the size of the map is no longer fixed, and the scale can be scaled up and down according to your mind, but not less than ten times the original scale, and the island can be reduced to the size of a coin, and the visible area of the forest will also be much larger.
After Chen Ye successfully zoomed out the map, he saw an irregular rectangular outline spreading out of the black line.
In the area surrounded by the outline, there are also patches of black spots, which are distributed more regularly.
It looks like a town, and is more than three times the size of the entire island.
Chen Ye began to think in his heart.
He was about to explore deep into the forest when the opportunity came to his door.
If nothing else, the mysterious town on the map will be his first stop to learn about this apocalyptic world.
In addition, Chen Ye did not think that there were still high-level intelligent beings like humans alive in the town.
Because part of the outer wall was lost, the complex was also somewhat damaged.
And the center of the town spreads outwards with a dark green forest pattern.
Judging by many circumstances, Chen Ye felt that this place might just be the remains of a lost town.
Since it is a ruin, there must be a treasure in it!
At this time, Lin Zimo, who was standing next to him, looked puzzled.
From her point of view, Chen Ye trembled as if he was sick.
In his left hand, he holds the Resource Probe and in his right hand the scroll.
One turn left, the next forward.
I didn't know what I was talking about.
Could it be that he was very dissatisfied with what was prescribed?
So Lin Zimo stepped forward, raised his hand and poked his arm, and asked worriedly.
"That, Chen Ye, are you okay?"
"It's okay, what can I do?"
Chen Ye's tone of voice now was full of excitement that could not be concealed.
He patted Lin Zimo on the shoulder and handed over the scroll:
"Your luck is really good, this is a rare treasure, this wave of lucky treasure chests has made a lot of money!"
Lin Zimo took the scroll in disbelief.
When she saw the dynamic pattern on it, her face gradually changed from surprise to surprise.
In fact, when opening the lucky treasure chest, she was selfish.
She was desperate to find her parents, so with this in mind, the talent [Favor] increased the drop probability of related items.
This is the fundamental reason for opening the map from the Lucky Chest.
Of course, Lin Zimo's careful thinking, in fact, Chen Ye probably guessed it.
Because it's too bizarre and coincidental to get a map with such a powerful function at random.
Seeing Chen Ye staring at him, Lin Zimo was a little embarrassed.
She hesitated for a moment before she slowly spoke tentatively:
"With this magical map, will I be able to find my parents?"
"No, it's difficult."
Chen Ye smiled and gave the most ruthless response.
He didn't want to answer like this, but he didn't want to give Lin Zimo an ethereal hope.
Because once something happens to her family, she will fall into despair that she can't extricate herself from.
"Do you see the terrain around the island?
"It's either a dense forest or an endless ocean, and there are unknown risks lurking in it, and it's even more difficult to find people!"
When Lin Zimo heard these words, the surprise on his face dissipated.
He pursed his lips instead, looking disappointed.
Seeing this, Chen Ye suddenly changed his words: "But it's not impossible. ”
He clenched his fist and swung it into the air a few times.
"If you want to find your parents, you still need to rely on your own strength."
"After the source force level is raised, do you feel that there are obvious changes in your body?"
Lin Zimo nodded: "It seems that there is more power in my body, and my five senses have also improved, I can see farther, hear more clearly, and I can smell more complex smells......
"Didn't I already tell you before, absorbing life essence can improve your strength."
Chen Ye paused, and then said meaningfully:
"If you want to find your lost relatives, then work hard to improve your strength."
"Hope is given by oneself, not by words of comfort from the lips of others."
"Only by forcing yourself to keep breaking through and becoming stronger can you protect the people you want to protect."
Although Chen Ye is not very old, he began to face life independently very early.
When I first did live broadcasts, I encountered a lot of difficulties, and even felt that my life had fallen into a trough and there was no chance to turn over.
But later, with his continuous efforts, he survived.
At the beginning, he didn't dare to face the camera because of social fear, so he went to the street to set up a stall to sing, and even almost entered the good voice of Huaxia.
If you don't have good game skills at first, you will train all night until you become a god player in the eyes of everyone.
A few years later, he successfully climbed to the first echelon of the live broadcast industry, and was on an equal footing with those top bosses who once didn't even look at him.
If it weren't for this crossing, Chen Ye would have become the annual anchor of the Tiger Fish platform.
has tens of millions of fans, and the annual income of live broadcast goods exceeds 100 million, living as the envy of others.
Chen Ye's words also made Lin Zimo's eyes a little firmer.
She looked up, her eyes twinkling.
"Thank you."
Chen Ye smiled slightly, and was about to put away the map, but heard an inquiry in front of him:
"Then, Brother Ye, what is your goal?"
"My goal?"
Chen Ye stopped his movements, frowned and groaned.
A rule that I saw when crossing came to mind:
[Survive, use all your resources to upgrade and build a safe house, expand your territory in the new world at all costs, and become the master of the new era]
"I want to stand at the highest point in this world."
Chen Ye seemed to be talking to Lin Zimo.
It's like talking to yourself.
Hearing this, Lin Zimo was a little surprised, she rubbed her hands and responded in a low voice:
"I don't dare to think about it so much, after all, it is a blessing to be able to live in this world."
She has experienced death, bloody carnage, and merciless natural disasters.
Therefore, when you understand the terrible things about this world, you will naturally be timid.
Hearing this, Chen Ye smiled meaningfully.
"This world is actually similar to the Blue Star."
"It's just that no one in Blue Star can really start from scratch, and they must accumulate wealth through several generations in order to have a position of money power and have the right to speak."
"In this world, everyone stands on the same starting line, as long as they continue to improve their personal strength, they can climb to the top of the pyramid and reach the top of the world."
"Running the same line?" Lin Zimo shook his head, "Some people get very powerful natural abilities at the beginning, or particularly good weapons and equipment......"
"If a person is stupid, no matter how good things are given to him, they will not work."
Chen Ye pointed to Lin Zimo's head melon and continued: "Talent ability and weapons and equipment are actually your hands, and here is your bargaining chip!" ”
The leaden grey sky and the vast sea surface create a looming skyline.
Golden-white stars are slowly rising from the skyline.
The sunlight that penetrated the clouds sprinkled on Chen Ye's body, leaving only a silhouette with a clear expression.
But those eyes were bright, reflecting the bright light of the fire.
It was a raging fire that spread through the dense forest and could burn away all obstacles!
Lin Zimo was standing beside Chen Ye, and he was a little distracted at this moment.
She remembered the storm that night, the time when she was lost in the forest, and desperately prayed to God to bless her to live.
So the talent [favor] took her to the man in front of her.
Maybe it's because Chen Ye is very strong that he will be favored by God.
"Okay, take advantage of the low temperature now, hurry up and clean up the bones of the strange beasts around you."
Chen Ye stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Lin Zimo's eyes.
Then he stretched and turned and walked to the open space in front of the watchtower, ready to dispose of the captured corpses of the alien beasts.
"I don't know what natural disasters will happen today......"
