The townspeople left a lot of pots and pots, but the hard-core corrosion did not emphasize martial virtues, and even the pottery was degraded. In Hardcore mode, fewer and fewer items are recognized, and the player's main items come from the crafting room.

Lin Wu collected waste plastics according to Maya's request. The system is reasonable, the degradation time of plastic is too long, so the only one that is not affected by the hard core is plastic, but it is also for the plastic of mineral water bottles. Fortunately, what Linma needs now is a mineral water bottle.

Lin Wu searched several households and magically found an extremely rare artifact that could even be called the only artifact: a washing machine. All the washing machines in the home are broken, and they have to be broken down to get parts. The laundry room built on the base has a rigid condition: a complete washing machine is required.

Pots for boiling water, stoves made of stone, etc., are not system items, but they can be used. In short, the chances of finding a system-certified good washing machine are infinitely close to zero.

Or say that the dawn is sincere. It never makes humans despair, and always hides a whole thing in the secret room, in the basement, in the baffle of this town where birds don't. Not to mention that this ghost can only be found, Lin Wu doesn't believe that someone will go to the middle of the desert to find a washing machine.

It's fun, isn't it? It's a pity that you met me, Lin Wu immediately picked up the washing machine and went back to the tent. Well, hold it and come back later. It's not that you can't hold it, it's just that you're very tired, since Maya is such a powerful woman, why let yourself be guilty of this sensitive man?

Waiting left and right to see Maya come back, Lin Wu sat on the grass in front of the tent and wrestled with Xiao Crook, and when he was tired of playing, he hugged Xiao Crook to rub the high cold phantom. At first, the apparition will take two steps away, its nose exhaling to express its displeasure, and it will endure it after being disturbed many times. But this is not fun, so Lin Wu and Xiao Wei began to play two-legged dry swimming.

The person is lying on the grass, his face is facing to the side, his upper body cannot move, and he steps on the grass by raising his knees to push the whole person forward.

Maya came back and saw this scene, and a deep sense of powerlessness came over her. has been mixed with Lin Wu for a long time, and as a big girl, she often feels like a mother.

"Hey!" Lin Wu pressed Xiao Crooked Head with one hand and slid forward: "Been there for so long?" ”

Maya pulled out a package from her backpack: "Found a bag of building materials." ”

Lin Wu immediately sat up: "You put the building materials into the warehouse first, and I'll take you to see the artifact of this game." ”

Maya was curious and followed Lin Wu to the basement of a house, Lin Wu opened the partition and showed Maya: "Dangdang, dangdang!" ”

"Washing machine?" Maya stepped forward to inspect and was surprised: "A complete washing machine? Have a full washing machine in the heart of a desert in a no-man's land? ”

Lin Wu nodded: "The bad of the dawn is not understandable to us. Moved! ”

"Wait." Maya: "A package of building materials can't build a laundry room. ”

Lin Wu said: "Demolished the ward." ”

"Tear down the ward?" Maya didn't know what Lin Wu thought, and said, "After the ward was demolished, the seven grids of the base were empty, and the only building was the laundry room. There is no kitchen, no dormitory, no production room, no ward, only a laundry room, and the key is that there is no water yet. Tear down the wards and build a laundry room without water? ”

Lin Wu said: "You must know that this washing machine is rare for eternity. Think about it, you inadvertently obtained the only copy signed by the shrimp, he is not good-looking, and he is not famous, but there is only this one in the entire universe, do you say it is precious? The washing machine didn't work, but there was only one in the whole house. And building a laundry room is the only way to take it away. "The ancillary facilities only increase the time for retraction and release, not the weight.

Because of the passion in Lin Wu's words, Maya found that she was a little tempted. It's not a washing machine, it's vanity, it's a medal, it's a marker. But Maya immediately shook her head and put her thoughts away: "First of all, we have to get out of the desert alive." ”

Lin Wu said: "After leaving the desert, you will regret not taking the washing machine with you." Because you'll never find a washing machine. It's like love, if you miss it, you're gone. ”

Maya asked, "You want it so much?" ”

Stinky mother-in-law anti-general. Lin Wu could see that she was moved by what she said, but she was only slightly shaken. At this time, she needs an excuse, such as saying that she wants it very much, and she will take the washing machine down the steps.

Lin Wu nodded seriously: "Yes." ”

Maya drew her assault rifle, and Lin Wu hurriedly stood in front of the washing machine; "Don't don't, put the gun down, there's something to discuss." A woman's heart, a needle under the sea, mortals can't guess it.

Maya put away her gun and patiently said to Lin Wu: "Lin Wu, let's make an assumption. We took the washing machine with us, we went back to the Doomsday Fortress, and also found the scarce outpost card to water the laundry, and then what? ”

"And then?" Lin Wu: "Then you can do the laundry." ”

Maya said: "Then when you were sleeping, playing, and hiding in the tent, a dozen people from the shadow entered the tent from time to time to wash clothes. Everyone will say hello when they come in, and they will make small talk to you while they are doing their laundry. You have to maintain a minimum of politeness, don't you? After all, you're too lazy to cook, you have to eat other people's cooking, and you're embarrassed not to let others use the washing machine, right? ”

"I, I, I can put the tent away."

"Really? Okay, you can put your tent away and live in the Doomsday Bastion every day as an ally. If you need something, let someone else take it to you from the warehouse, it's not a big problem. ”

"It's not big."

Maya asked, "But the phantom is a very picky eater, not to mention that he can't find good grass near the Doomsday Fortress, and even if he finds good grass, will you go to graze it every day?" Look at the time again, winter is coming again, and you have to prepare forage for the phantom to not eat the grass. ”

Lin Wu smiled bitterly: "Can't you want it?" ”

"I can't." Maya nodded earnestly.

"Then you kill it and let me break my thoughts."

So the only washing machine in the whole server died at Maya's gunpoint.

"What the hell are you doing?" Wail.

Maya looked at Xiao Crooked: "Go and comfort your master." "Leave, you play slowly.

……

The desert town is large in size and has many houses, and Limma searched 70% of the area and found only a complete plastic bottle of mineral water that can be used to hold water. The town also gave an explanation that after the townspeople moved away, a professional environmental protection company came to the town to clean up the garbage, resulting in no garbage to pick up.

In view of the scarcity of resources here, in order to save food, the tents were collected at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and rushed to the night at 7 o'clock. By the time he rested during the day the next day, Limma clearly felt that the terrain was descending. At 11 p.m. the next night, Limma saw the lights that had not been seen for a long time. Even in hardcore mode, the system still retains street lights in the system town.

The more you walk in the direction of the light town, the sand area becomes less and less, and soon green trees and grass appear. Limmar was then blocked by a large river, and the Route 88 bridge collapsed completely. Visually, they are about 20 kilometers away from the town of lights in a straight line.

After Maya used night vision devices to check the surrounding materials, she asked Lin Wu to put down the tent in the open space 100 meters away from the river, and after the tent was lowered this time, the threat level of the tent base rose to two stars.

After dawn, Limma ushered in a day of rest and labor. Maya cut down trees to exchange for building materials, and first built a crafting room for crafting tools and maintaining weapons. Once you have a crafting room, you can use branches and stones to make stone axes. Due to the lack of scrap metal, Maya's durable watermelon knife was temporarily put away.

Lin Wu's drone brings good news: there are abundant resources along the river, there are many trees, not to mention water sources, and food is not a problem.

There is also bad news: there are no river crossing points, no bridges, no ferries within 10 kilometers. The river is 90 meters narrowest and the depth is unknown, and the current is relatively turbulent in most areas, and the current in a few areas is particularly turbulent.

Judging from the situation, Lin Ma and Xiao Crooked crossing the river are not under much pressure, and they can float upstream and slowly dock the shore, but the two horses will never be able to pass.

The first option is to abandon the two horses, but the Doomsday Fortress is still at the end of the world, and without the help of the horses, even if they can get to the Doomsday Fortress, the game is basically over.

The second option is a detour. Because the river is not straight, Lin Wu's drone did not find that there were bridges and ferries along the river, and it cannot be ruled out that the view was blocked.

Maya's decision was naturally to carry out the second option and go upstream. The further upstream you go, the fewer tributaries there will be, and the smaller the river will be. It's not clear when you'll find your way, but it's safe to say it's a paradise compared to the desert trip you did a few days ago. After a few days of struggling survival, Maya has given up on her plan to be in a three-day group, and at the same time, she has also let go of her eagerness to return home.

Going home is just a direction, a goal, not a method.

In the afternoon, the kitchen and dormitory were successfully set up, Lin Wu missed the washing machine for three seconds, turned out a small bag of black tea in his backpack, boiled a pot of black tea, and sent it to the workplace thirty meters away. When they arrived at the place, they put the tea on the stone pier and put the air-dried meat, Maya sat down, and the two of them blew the river breeze and drank hot tea, the temperature was neither high nor low, and it was very comfortable.

Maya drank the tea and prepared to continue to work, but Xiao Wei was not happy, and when she saw this, Lin Ma immediately took down the assault rifle. The direction facing the small crooked side is a one-meter-wide rustic road by the river embankment, and the roadside is full of weeds and various trees, and it is impossible to see what is inside.

Maya pointed to the top: "Overhead." ”

Lin Wu looked up and saw an eagle hovering five hundred meters above the two of them.

Lin Wu asked, "Do you want to knock it down?" I haven't eaten eagle meat, can I eat it? Is it tasty? ”

Maya pointed to the small crooked and forest mist, pointing to the side. The two separated and walked towards the embankment, and just a few steps later, a boy came out of the shelter on a bicycle, and he was immediately stunned when he saw two people 20 meters away from him, armed with weapons. With one foot on the ground and both hands raised, the boy showed that he was not holding a weapon, and said, "I have no ill intentions, I am a nearby player." ”

Maya lowered her gun, but did not let her guard down: "Nearby? ”

"10 kilometers away, Yunmeng Tribe, my name is Xiaohuo." The little boy is not very old, less than 20 years old, and his face is very sunny and hearty, he looked at the weapons of the two: "You are not newcomers?" ”

"Yes and no, my name is Lin Wu." Lin Wu put away his weapon and shook hands with Xiaohuo, and asked, "You found us 10 kilometers away?" ”

"Oh!" Xiaohuo understood the vigilance of the two, looked up at the sky, put the tail fingers of both hands in his mouth and blew a loud whistle, and the eagle hovering in the sky swooped down rapidly, and when it approached the ground, it spread its wings and smoothed to Xiaohuo's shoulders to stand.

Xiaohuo introduced: "Old fire, my falcon. ”

Lin Wu was surprised and asked, "You are also a hunter?" ”

Xiaohuo was also surprised: "Also? Are you also a hunter? ”

Lin Wu looked down at the little crooked at his feet: "Little crooked, hound." "It feels like you're a little out of the picture.

"Haha, it's really fateful." Xiaohuo shook hands with Lin Wu again, and after a burst of broken words, Xiaohuo asked, "Are you living for a long time or crossing the river?" However, whether it is a long-term residence or crossing the river, you have to go to the Yunmeng tribe first. ”

"Why?"

"Because the Yunmeng tribe is the best place to live for a long time, and also because the Yunmeng tribe has fishing boats." Xiaohuo said again: "Even if you want to cross the river, the Yunmeng tribe is also the best choice, the water surface is very wide, the water flow is relatively fast, but the maximum water depth is only about 1 meter." ”

"Hello, my name is Maya." Maya shook hands with Xiaohuo and asked, "What type of base is the Yunmeng Tribe?" "The risk is higher for the Dominating Base than for the Individual type. The personal base represents mutual trust, and this atmosphere is less likely to produce mobs.

"Base? No, we are a tribe, not a base. ”

Lin Wu didn't understand: "It's not a base?" "Lin Wu knows that an alternative base is called Alliance, which is composed of many small bases, but it is also a base.

Xiaohuo explained: "We are homeless people, people who do not have a base. ”

"No base?" Lin Ma asked in unison.

"Well, there is no base."

The Yunmeng tribe was born nine months ago, with only four members at the beginning, who made a living from farming, fishing, and hunting. In fact, they were among the first to enter hardcore mode. Through complaints and communication, Shuguang agreed that the personnel in the Yunmeng tribe area entered the hardcore mode, which means that everyone in the Yunmeng tribe area does not need system beds and food.

It turns out that Shuguang was inspired by human beings to promote the hardcore model, and human rape is really ubiquitous.

What is particularly beneficial to the development of the Yunmeng tribe is that the world has not been corroded at that time, all kinds of items are new, and there are many materials obtained from demolition. Before the game entered hardcore mode, the number of people in the Yunmeng tribe reached 18. After entering the hardcore mode, many players in Beishang Town, Beicheng County, Fantasy City, across the river, defected to the Yunmeng tribe, and there were resurrected newcomers to join the tribe one after another, and the total number of members of the Yunmeng tribe is currently 58.

They depend on farming, hunting, and fishing for their daily livelihoods, and they share tribal conventions and courts.

Lin Wu began to pack up the tent, and the three of them sat on the ground outside the tent. Xiao Huo had a stomach full of questions to ask, such as this magical tent was enough to make him dumbfounded, but Lin Wu had more questions: "What should I do if I am sick or injured?" ”

Xiao Huo said: "There is a small base on the edge of the Yunmeng tribe area, and the members are a doctor and a blacksmith. That is, the corresponding ward and production room. This was a reluctant decision after discussion. There are real doctors in the tribe, but the real doctors can't cure the game's diseases, and there are professional engineers in the tribe, but he can't make tools without equipment. ”

Maya's question: "You have food in common, so won't there be people who slack off in hunting and other work?" Others may give up the danger to others. It's not that I deliberately suspect it, it's just that there are so many of you that it's beyond moral control. "The 12 people of the Shadows are already close to their limit, and if there are more people, the trouble will increase exponentially, and the existing life patterns will have to be changed, and maybe even community rules will have to be introduced.

Xiaohuo explained: "We are not communal, we only have doctors and blacksmiths in common, and we are responsible for their food. With the exception of doctors and blacksmiths, the supplies obtained by others belonged to their own private property. Each person or couple has their own house, and those who have the ability to build it well, and those who do not pursue it are casual. ”

Xiaohuo: "The resources in the tribal area are very abundant, and food and clothing are not a problem. The members of the tribe lived their own lives on a daily basis. Of course, there are also people who will form gangs, but as long as they do not break the convention, it has nothing to do with the tribe. ”
