Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 567 [Wasteland] 4

The player is very fast, but Feng Lan is even faster.

The seeds here crave rain more than Feng Lan imagined. A little bit of rain is nutrients and a signal for growth for the seeds deep in the ground. She only needs to stimulate it a little bit, and these seeds buried in the ground will desperately emerge.

The flowers dissolve in the vines, fallen leaves, and petals in the ground, becoming a secondary nutrient for these seeds besides water.

Plants rich in water are a double delicacy for wanderers in the wasteland, providing both food and water.

The large-scale light rain that fell in Bi Ke was clearly seen by the wanderers nearby. For them, this was a good opportunity that only came once in a few years.

Water is life. Like the plant seeds in the wasteland, the wanderers in the wasteland have a keen pursuit of water.

Even though they knew that the bionic people had just been nearby, many wanderers still sneaked in for water.

After all, the rain covered a large area, more than ten kilometers. Even if there was a risk of being caught and killed, if they succeeded, they wouldn't have to bother looking for water resources for the next few months.

Lin Xi was both unfortunate and lucky. Her home was near the range of the rain, but before that, she was almost discovered by these city people who enjoyed hunting them.

Although she did not participate in this battle royale, Lin Xi was very weak. She did not have a strong body or a smart brain. However, in the battle royale held every month, there were very few people who succeeded in the end and got the bonus and the quota to enter the city to become the upper class. Even those who successfully survived the three-day hunt and got nutrient solution and food were very few.

Lin Xi didn't believe what those people said, especially Lin Xi's good friend, Tiwara, because he discovered that the local tyrant who started the game by reselling food in the stronghold was actually a double-faced person in collusion with Feilie City.

Tiwara told Lin Xi the whole truth one night. Before Lin Xi could be shocked, she told her that she was going to participate in this escape game.

Lin Xi didn't know whether the other party succeeded or not. She didn't see Tivara on the list of winners, and Tivara never came back, but she saw the special mark left by Tivara on the vending machine at the base.

Tiwara must still be alive!

That day, after exchanging nutrient solution at the base and returning to her small cave home under the loess, Lin Xi sat in the dim home in a daze. Her mother had died a long time ago, and Lin Xi could not remember how she grew up. But this time, she suddenly felt that struggling to live was actually quite boring.

Lin Xi decided to participate in the battle royale, she wanted to find Tiwara.

But it was not this time. Everyone who survived in the wasteland could be said to be a master of crafts and survival in the 21st century. Lin Xi was picking up trash in the wasteland when the sun was not very strong in the afternoon, and then the alarm on her wrist beeped.

Someone was coming over very quickly. The last screenshot sent over showed a few city dwellers who were completely out of place compared to the tightly wrapped and ragged wanderers. As soon as Lin Xi saw those figures wearing exoskeletons and carrying weapons, he knew that something was wrong.

She was still happy about finding a lot of mechanical components in the previous second, but in the next second she threw these things away without hesitation, wrapped herself in a layer of heat-insulating cloth, and ran nimbly and silently.

This layer of heat-insulating cloth can only block the shallowest infrared scans, and the probability of being discovered is very high. There are larger anti-scanning devices in Lin Xi's underground cabin, but because they are bulky, it is impossible to carry them with her at any time. Now, Lin Xi can either pray to the goddess of good luck to help her avoid being noticed by these people, or return to the player cabin before she enters the scanning range.

Chase and death are the main themes of the wasteland. Lin Xi was lucky enough to return to her nest. She lay down in the lowest position, wrapped in material that shielded her from scanning. She put her ear to the ground and listened to the movement outside from the subtle vibration of the earth.

No one came.

Those people did not chase her.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she feel sorry for the mechanical components she had found today. They looked very fresh at first glance. They were probably thrown outside just a few days ago. If they were sold at the gathering point, they would be worth a lot of water and nutrient solution!

The ground suddenly shook, as if many people were walking around on it. Lin Xi's pupils dilated, and she heard the sound of many people talking recklessly.

There were so many people, it was an unimaginable thing for her.

The difficult living conditions, the dangerous and indifferent other wanderers, and the even more dangerous and occasional upper-class people who come from nearby cities for fun, everything makes people silent.

Who could be so noisy in such a place? The noisy voices were transmitted intermittently from the ground to the underground, as if they were not very far away. Lin Xi judged that it was no more than three hundred meters. She was so focused on the voices that she did not notice the rain flowing down at the first time.

Until the moist moisture blew on her face, and the cool breeze blew on her equally dry and silent face, Lin Xi's eyes rolled, and after a moment of silence, she carefully stood up, moved to the side, and tried to observe what was happening above through several reflectors.

If it wasn't too dangerous, she would go out and collect some rainwater.

Lin Xi saw a patch of green through the periscope. The pipe mouth that was originally exposed on the ground was blocked by a bunch of wildly growing plants. Dense raindrops fell on the mirror surface of the pipe mouth and flowed along the cold and rusty pipe into Lin Xi's palm.

She couldn't help swallowing. Lin Xi turned the camera several times and finally saw a group of... people?

They were so strange and out of place in the wasteland. Lin Xi looked at this group of strange beings wearing uniform clothes, with similar height and appearance, and could only be distinguished as male and female. Their bodies were white and strong, with plump and healthy flesh, and they were dazzlingly lively. Lin Xi secretly observed them for a while.

"Not like it." She muttered softly, her voice a little hoarse.

These people did not look like the wanderers hiding from place to place, nor did they look like the upper class people who came out of the city.

Lin Xi recalled a disc that he had seen played in rotation at the gathering point before. It contained photos of people from the last century. People at that time were also so happy, healthy, and positive at all times.

Lin Xi was thinking at the time that people in the last century lived such a happy life. They had food and drink, lived in houses, and didn’t have to worry about sandstorms and battles every day.

Lin Xi hid underneath like a little mouse and secretly collected water. She wanted to wait until the group of people left before coming out.

But the grass that grew wildly was too lush.

Soon it grew along the soil above and directly down from the ceiling of Lin Xi's little home.

"Hey, there's an NPC arrow here."

"Wow, what a hidden little house!"

Lin Xi heard the cheerful conversation gradually approaching, and the next second, there was a knock on the door of her cave.

"Hello, hello, do you have a mission?"

"I came first!"

"Let me do it, you guys are too rude and will scare the NPCs!"
