From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life
Chapter 7: Counter-surveillance and continued cooling
This was the third copy that Li Xin had experienced. In the first copy, his identity was exposed because of his rampant remarks on the Internet and he was hunted by many players. Fortunately, he was a rich second-generation with a good family background. He relied on his parents' money to hide from place to place and survived until the end of the novice copy.
After successfully passing the novice copy, he panicked for a long time in his safe house. He found that no matter how much he begged the system, he could not exit the survival game, and he could not even leave the safe house and return to his original world. So starting from the second copy, he learned from his experience in the novice copy and always kept a low profile.
Thanks to the experience of being hunted down in the first dungeon, he realized that although killing other players was not part of the mission in most dungeons, the player's resources and points would be transferred to him after being killed.
The hunted players will also receive all the tasks and rewards that the other party originally had in the dungeon. Among them, the tasks for novice players are the simplest, and each person also has the most unique novice rewards, which makes them often become targets of hunting.
In order to quit this damn game, he began to plan the hunt.
In this dungeon, his initial identity was a college student. After figuring out the dungeon mission, he quickly used the locator he got after killing a novice player in the previous dungeon. Perhaps God was also blessing him, as there was a player within a ten-kilometer radius of him.
Through chatting with the real estate agent, he learned that there were not many tenants in this building, and he was the only one who had rented a house here during this period. The rest were old residents who had lived here for many years. This made Li Xin very excited.
The information provided by the agent means that this player is very likely a newcomer!
Thinking of his own experience in the novice copy, he could relate to the player's helplessness. The biggest difference between new and old players was the information gap. The natural copy knew the advantages and points, making it easier for old players to hunt down new players.
Li Xin began to plan to approach the target this time. The stealth skill was his reward for completing the novice copy, which made it easier for him to investigate. However, he had not seen any trace of the player for two consecutive days, which made him more suspicious. He decided to sit tight.
Tian Yu included monitoring the player named Li Xin in his daily list.
The dungeon was opened this afternoon, but Li Xin rented the house downstairs before the dungeon was opened. This made her suspect that her opening time might be later than other players, but the reason was unknown. Tian Yu guessed that it was related to the "exploration progress and entry standards" mentioned when the dungeon was opened.
Turning on the surveillance camera and driving recorder in the car, she set the time to the day when the system countdown would start.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Tian Yu went out and passed by his car. He should have gone to call the police at that time.
For a period of time afterwards, the surveillance cameras did not capture anything unusual until eight o'clock the next morning.
At that time, Tian Yu had already left home to start shopping, but the surveillance camera captured Brother Liu from the rental agency bringing Li Xin to the building, introducing something as they walked.
Tian Yu carefully observed Li Xin's behavior over the past two days. She also discovered that Li Xin's stealth skills might not be truly perfect, because her vehicle surveillance could still capture him, and there were often people around him at these times.
"Stealth skill: Initially judged to be from the system, or a reward or exchange. It can avoid surveillance and reduce one's presence, but it can still be observed from the outside. It may not be able to be used when someone is paying attention."
Tian Yu silently wrote down his observations and speculations in his notebook.
At seven o'clock in the morning on the second day after the copy was opened, Tian Yu got up as usual to check the whole house. After breakfast, he exercised while using the equipment to play the surveillance footage of the old house and the car at the same time.
Today the temperature in Linhai has dropped to five degrees, and in the north it has already reached minus twenty degrees.
Tian Yu took a look at the discussions online. Many people are still optimistic about the temperature drop this time, but some people have posted photos of their homes online, showing that the snow is as heavy as in midwinter.
Although the severity of the temperature drop so far is not as horrific as Tian Yu imagined, she suspects that this is just the beginning.
After recording the situations in various places collected from the Internet, Tian Yu began to sort out the supplies he had stockpiled over the past few days.
The living area on the first floor was filled with cardboard boxes, leaving him with nowhere to put his belongings. Tian Yu took some of the supplies he had purchased earlier and decided to put them in his father's room first.
Tian Yu has been busy since he got up, but he feels colder and colder all over. He turns on his mobile phone and it is five o'clock in the afternoon. The temperature shows minus five degrees Celsius.
There is nothing unusual about a temperature difference of ten degrees between morning and night, but she had turned on the floor heating yesterday. According to the setting of the floor heating, she should not feel cold all over even though she was wearing long sleeves and exercising. After checking the floor heating, she walked into the yard to check the thermometer placed at the door.
Fifteen degrees below zero!
At this moment, Tian Yu felt that the disaster had really come. The lowest temperature in Linhai City in the past 30 years had barely reached this number. From yesterday to now, the temperature has dropped by nearly 50 degrees. Besides, the closed yard of his own home is always warmer than the outside world.
Will the temperature continue to drop tonight?
Without bothering to eat, Tian Yu turned on the surveillance camera at the door to observe. The strange thing was that even though the temperature had dropped sharply, there was no sign of snow at the moment.
After changing into a down jacket, she used the cardboard and cloth strips she had removed today to wrap the water pipes in the house and yard layer by layer to prevent the pipes from bursting due to the cooling temperature.
When we returned to the house, we saw several bags of cement, sand and some building materials piled in the corner of the yard. These should be the leftover materials from the previous renovation. Since the owner bought them himself, the workers kept them.
After a quick dinner, Tian Yu put on gloves and a lighting helmet, ready to move all the building materials into the house, as there was no telling when they would be needed.
He checked the enclosure and door locks in the yard again. The gate of the western-style building is usually an aluminum door with an electronic lock. When Tian Yu came back yesterday, he hung two fire locks on the internal sliding handrails, and then lowered the second fast lifting door for safety.
Tian Yu spent a lot of money to install this door, which can even withstand vehicle impacts.
Returning to the house, Tian Yu closed the door and then pressed a button. A lifting door similar to the one in the yard slowly lowered. The four doors were the source of her sense of security!
After confirming that the doors and windows of the house were in order, Tian Yu set up the tent he had purchased earlier and began to put various thermal pads and down quilts inside.
At night, she clearly felt that the temperature was lower than in the afternoon. Even if she turned the heating to the maximum, it was only just enough to keep the temperature comfortable.
I'm afraid the temperature will drop further tonight. After thinking for a moment, Tian Yu got up and went to the kitchen.
I'm afraid I'll have to monitor Li Xin for a long time in the future. Tian Yu hasn't had a proper meal in the past two days. Considering that he still has a lot of fresh ingredients purchased, Tian Yu decided to cook the chickens, ducks and geese now.
A large amount of oil was used to fry the meat to dry out the moisture. Tian Yu squeezed the meat dry and then added chili peppers and spices. The spicy aroma penetrated into his nostrils and Tian Yu felt his body become much warmer.
Cut the meat into portions and eat it cold in a bowl. This can not only satisfy your craving, but also drive away the cold with chili peppers. It saves a lot of cooking time and can also provide energy.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, looking at the pots of ingredients coming out of the oven, Tian Yu felt a lot of satisfaction in her heart. This was also a rare feeling of relaxation and happiness for her in the past few days.
