Chapter 449: After the Luck Was Stolen, the Survival Game Came
After sending the message, he opened his friend’s private chat box and sent the four big words “Calling Now”.
While waiting for his friend to call him, Song Li's eyes involuntarily swept out the window, looking at the raft, waiting for the polluted beasts to rush on.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Until the friend's summon request popped up, what Song Li imagined in his mind, his raft being surrounded by polluted beasts, gradually dilapidated and disappearing, did not appear at all.
The defenseless wooden door seemed to isolate them from all dangers outside. There was not even any sign of polluting beasts on the raft outside.
He was stunned for a moment, and ignored his friend's request to call him. Instead, he opened the wooden door incredibly and walked out.
As his vision widened, Song Li realized that there was really no trace of the polluting beast on the raft.
He looked at the dark area around him. The polluted area was constantly spreading outward, and the number of polluted beasts was increasing instead of decreasing.
There seemed to be a transparent barrier between them and the raft. The polluted beasts had no way to enter, and one by one they turned around and plunged into the sea.
As the polluting beast "actively jumped into the sea", the blue color on the sea surface became darker and darker until it quietly sank into the dark polluted area.
This... Could it be that the rosemary is useful?
Song Li looked at the "water ball" surrounding the raft. It was shimmering and seemed to be flashing with light. He reached out and touched it.
[Due to pollution, the duration of rosemary is shortening...]
The normal effective time of rosemary is 12 hours. Now that it is contaminated, it may become ineffective at any time.
Song Li looked around, turned on the light screen, took a picture of the surrounding situation, and agreed to his friend's call request.
It was not until his feet touched solid ground and the surrounding environment looked brand new that Song Li realized that he had left his raft.
"Why did you agree to be summoned?"
When the friends saw someone coming, they hurriedly came over to ask questions.
He clearly sent a summon request the next second after the other party sent the message, but the other party didn't come for a long time, and he almost thought something had happened.
"fine……"
Song Li sat down and explained to him fearfully and tiredly.
"Rosemary seems to be of some use. Although it cannot drive away the pollution beasts, it seems to be able to temporarily isolate the raft and form a protective shield."
"Really? Then you..."
His friend was stunned. He had been paying attention to Song Li's situation, so he naturally saw the screenshot Song Li sent. It was the one in which Lu Hansheng traded the rosemary to him.
If rosemary is useful, why did he agree to the summoning request?
Why do we use ambiguous words like "seems", "it seems possible", and "temporarily"?
Song Li also understood his doubts, so he described in detail what he had just seen.
After listening to this, my friend fell silent again. The excitement he had at the beginning had long disappeared, and his eyes were filled with disappointment and frustration.
"What the hell is this game about? Is it forcing us to die?"
After enduring it for a long time, my friend still couldn't help but utter a few swear words.
"Your raft has been completely blocked by the polluted area. If you can't clear the polluted area, you will die if you go back! Besides, I don't know how long the rosemary can last. When the summoning card expires, I don't know if your raft will still be there."
He touched his fingers anxiously, and couldn't help but take out one of his treasured cigarettes and light it up, feeling extremely irritated.
Rosemary can last for 12 hours if it is not contaminated. Now that it is contaminated, its effectiveness is shortened, so it must be less than 12 hours.
The summoning card is valid for 24 hours. By the time Song Li returns, the rosemary will have lost its effect. Who knows if the raft will be attacked by the polluted beast and disappear.
If he disappeared, where could Song Li be summoned back to?
Song Li listened silently. He also knew these things.
But there's nothing he can do. He's just an unlucky person in the world of rules and can't make any waves.
Exhaling, he stood up and walked over to his friend.
"Lu Hansheng was willing to trade rosemary to me, so I gave him half of my wealth, and I plan to leave the other half to you...if I'm not here."
As he spoke, he put the things out.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, he still felt that he was in great danger this time and there was a high possibility that he would die.
"you……"
Looking at Song Li's dull eyes, his friend scratched his hair, wanting to comfort him but not knowing what to say.
He wanted Song Li not to be so discouraged, thinking that there might still be a way, but he himself didn't quite believe it and he couldn't say it out loud.
"Send it to Lu Hansheng. After all, he was so righteous in sending the rosemary over. Didn't you say in the group that you would donate all the supplies? I can't help you much, so just treat it as a small gathering for us!"
Song Li didn't say anything, but still divided half of the supplies on the ground, giving half to Lu Hansheng and keeping the other half for his good friends.
"Take it, thank you for your help! If you have the chance in the future, remember to help me take care of my son!"
Song Li's eyes were red and his voice was choked.
After hearing this, the friend wiped away his tears and looked at Song Li.
"Okay, got it. Let's have a few drinks later!"
After saying that, the friend strode away, ready to prepare some snacks and trade some beer.
Song Li also wiped his tears, found a place to sit down, and turned on the light screen.
In addition to the constant messages in the 167th area chat group, Lu Hansheng's private messages also came one after another.
Lu Hansheng had not yet received the supplies that had been sent to him, and was asking about the situation on his side.
[Lu Hansheng: I don’t know if rosemary is effective against polluted beasts. Use it first. If it doesn’t work, call for help immediately!]
[Lu Hansheng: If you can't find a friend, I can summon you! ]
[Lu Hansheng: How's it going? Is rosemary useful? ]
Seeing this, Song Li's eyes became hot again.
He sniffed, holding back the tears that were about to burst out, and began to reply.
[Song Li: Rosemary is useful, but it will be contaminated and the duration of its effect will be shortened! ]
Song Li also sent the video he had taken earlier.
[Song Li: I called my friend to summon me, and now I am on my friend's raft! ]
[Song Li: Thank you for your help. Although the supplies are not much, they account for most of my assets. Please accept them! I also left a small part for my friend to help take care of my son! ]
-
On the other side, on Lu Hansheng’s raft.
The light screen enlarged, showing the video that Song Li had just sent.
The six people stared at the picture frame after frame, their faces becoming solemn.
Lu Hansheng: "These polluting beasts can actually expand the polluted area? If this continues, won't the polluted area become larger and larger?"
"Looks like it."
Xie Guangfei affirmed, "So... we must find a solution as soon as possible! If the polluted area continues to spread, players will encounter it one day and they will be trapped and face endless polluted beasts. Unless... they can clean up all the polluted areas, otherwise..."
A narrow escape from death.
Everyone knows this truth. Considering the strength of the players in Area 167 and their possession of special props, it is impossible for them to clean up the polluted area all at once.
What's more, while they racked their brains and had no solution, the polluted areas continued to spread...
And at that time, it will not be individual players who are involved, but a group of players.
As the contaminated area continues to expand, more and more players will be trapped.
"But we have no other choice now. Human power alone is not enough to salvage and decompose the garbage!"
Zhu followed suit and expressed his own opinions.
"That being said, we have to find a way."
Situ Xuan nodded and frowned in thought.
"First of all, rosemary is very useful. It can temporarily guarantee the safety of the players. In this case, we must rely on Master Yuanyuan! There are also things like purifying water plants. These dropped items depend on luck. I wonder if Master Yuanyuan has any?"
As Situ Xuan said this, she was certain in her heart that Master Yuanyuan had such a thing in his hands.
After all, Master Yuanyuan is a master of plant cultivation, and aren’t water-purifying plants considered plants? It sounds reasonable.
"It's not just Master Yuanyuan..."
Next to him, Jiang Yueshu pondered for a moment and began to express his own thoughts.
"The purification items dropped by the colorful bubbles are obviously not enough for the players in our area. Since Master Yuanyuan has special items like rosemary, other masters may also have related items."
For example...that formation master, Jiang Yueshu guessed that he might have some related formations that could be used!
