Civilization Paradise

Chapter 19 Supplies
An hour later.

Long Ming walked forward step by step. Although it looked like the fall wasn't very far, he still hadn't seen what had fallen.

He even began to doubt whether he had gone astray.

However, Long Ming continued walking forward, for there was no turning back now.

As he climbed the sand dune in front of him, he saw a huge impact crater, and inside the crater lay an oval-shaped mechanical cabin.

Long Ming took a deep breath and walked step by step to the front of the mechanical cabin.

The mechanical cabin is made of very advanced materials and craftsmanship, making it completely out of step with the civilization of this world.

Long Ming raised his wristband and scanned it.

"Prompt: Supply pod detected. Open it?"

Long Ming was overjoyed when he saw the notification. He hadn't expected it to be a supply pod. If there was food and water inside, that would be great. He then clicked on it.

"Yes!"

click!
The entire supply compartment suddenly cracked open, revealing a 1.5-meter-long weapon carrying case and two metal boxes.

Long Ming reached out and opened the weapon carrying case, revealing a brand-new M24 sniper rifle and its accessories. Its black metal body had a matte finish, giving it a very high-end feel.

Long Ming took a deep breath and reached out to pick up the M24 sniper rifle.

The wristband immediately displayed a notification.

M24 sniper rifle.

Durability: 100/100
Detailed specifications: 7.62 mm caliber, 1092 mm overall length, 5.49 kg unloaded, 5-round magazine capacity, and 800 m effective range.

After reviewing the data on the wristband, Long Ming put the gun back into the weapon case.

If we can take this weapon out of the country, we'll make a fortune.

After Long Ming finished doing all that, he picked up a box and opened it, revealing a round syringe inside.

Sensing Agent
Effect: Enhances the five senses within one hour of use.

Long Ming glanced at it, then reached out and opened the second box, where he found an exquisite invitation.

Long Ming was immediately disappointed; it was a Civilization Scroll instead of supplies.

However, he quickly composed himself, glanced at the time, and found that there were only 1 hour and 7 minutes left.

It's still nearly 5.2 kilometers to the evacuation point from here, which wouldn't be a problem under normal circumstances. But Long Ming is currently hungry, tired, and thirsty, making it really difficult.

At this moment, Long Ming also made a decision, throwing away the single-shot rifle in his hand and the iron chain in his backpack to reduce the weight as much as possible.

Although he was quite reluctant, given the current situation, he had to minimize the burden as much as possible.

If we can't evacuate alive, no matter how good our belongings are, they're meaningless.

Long Ming then slung the M24 over his shoulder, packed the perception potion, invitation letter, and accessories into his backpack, and turned to walk towards the extraction point.

One hour later

Long Ming didn't know how far he had walked. His pace slowed down, and his legs felt like they were made of lead. He had to exert all his strength to take each step.

The scorching sun beat down on him, greedily draining every last drop of moisture from his body.

Long Ming felt like his body no longer belonged to him, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

At this moment, the screen on the bracelet kept flashing red notification messages.

"Warning: You have been online for more than 23 hours and 53 minutes!"

"Warning: Your body is at its limit."

At this moment, Long Ming's body began to sway, and then he fell heavily to the ground, panting as he raised his head to look ahead.

A mechanical platform was located not far away, but his body had reached its limit. No matter how strong his will was, he could not hold on any longer and could not stand up at all.

Even so, Long Ming did not give up, but gritted his teeth and climbed towards the mechanical platform little by little.

At that time, there were only 5 minutes left in the 24-hour period.

Long Ming could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, motionless.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.
When there are only 30 seconds left.

Suddenly, a hand pressed down on the mechanical platform, and Long Ming struggled to lift his head to look at the platform.

The indicator light on the mechanical platform was green.

A smile appeared on Long Ming's face. He used his remaining strength to climb onto the mechanical platform and looked up at the blue sky.

In an instant, a faint halo appeared on the intricate patterns at the bottom of the mechanical platform. *Buzz*
The bracelet vibrated and a notification popped up.

"Should we evacuate?"

Long Ming immediately revealed a tired smile; he had won his gamble!

He shakily reached out and tapped the evacuation button.

hum~
The mechanical platform was activated instantly, and Long Ming began to float up little by little.

At that moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of ease, letting his body slowly float towards the sky, finally turning into a beam of white light and leaving.

In the dim bedroom.

Long Ming suddenly opened his eyes, then began to cough violently.

Cough!

He reached out and took off his helmet.

An overwhelming sense of exhaustion washed over him; he felt utterly listless, and his vision was blurry.

This feeling is like someone who has just survived drowning.

However, Long Ming still forced himself to get out of bed, went to the table, picked up the cough medicine, took a sip, and then unscrewed the immune medicine bottle, poured out two pills, and swallowed them directly.

After doing all this, Long Ming returned to bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Long Ming groggily opened his eyes and slowly sat up.

He shook his head; although it felt a little heavy, at least he felt better.

But just then, an incongruous sound rang out.

Gollum~
Long Ming felt completely drained, exhausted and hungry.

He turned to look out the window; it was still dark, not yet dawn.

However, when Long Ming took out his phone and glanced at the time, he was stunned for a moment.

It's 20:14 PM now, which means he's slept for over ten hours and hasn't eaten or drunk anything for almost two days.

Long Ming quickly left the bedroom and went to the kitchen, reaching into the refrigerator to find something to eat.

Unfortunately, the refrigerator was empty and there was nothing to eat.

Long Ming reluctantly closed the refrigerator, put on his coat and shoes, and hurriedly left the house.

Inside a 24-hour convenience store.

ding dong~
"welcome!"

As the notification sound rang, a middle-aged man in a gray shirt in front of the cashier looked up and glanced towards the door.

Long Ming walked in.

"Isn't this Long Ming? I haven't seen you in a while."

The convenience store owner greeted Long Ming with some surprise.

"Yeah, I've been pretty busy lately."

Long Ming explained to Boss Tang Ke and then walked towards the grocery shelf.

He took five packets of instant noodles and a bag of sausages.

Longming really wanted to get a bucket of instant noodles, but the price was too high, so he gave up in the end.

He took these items to the cashier and spoke to Boss Tang Ke.

"Bill, please."

"It's 21 in total, but for regular customers, it'll be 20."

"Thank you."

"But Long Ming, I'm not trying to be mean, but your health isn't very good to begin with, so don't eat these things too often."

"Ok, I know."

After silently paying with his phone, Long Ming picked up his things and left.

Tang Ke shook his head regretfully as he watched this scene.

"What a fine child, what a pity!"
