Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!
Chapter 77, Treasure Trove of Points
A dense swarm of mosquitoes?
Upon seeing these words, Lin Yue immediately recalled what she had obtained from opening the box before. She quickly sent the mosquito net to Han Weiyi and then replied in the group chat: "Find a place to set up the mosquito net first, and I'll be right there."
Zhou Zeyang and the others felt a little relieved when they saw that Lin Yue had props. They joked as they walked, "Oh dear, our little lucky one has stumbled today? I thought this kind of bad luck was something only Lei Zi and I had."
Zhao Lei chimed in, "That's right, don't be afraid, girl, we're trying our best to run towards you."
As Lin Yue unfurled her Sky Wings and flew rapidly towards Han Weiyi's coordinates, a sense of unease crept into her mind. She had initially assumed that, barring any malicious individuals, Han Weiyi, with her luck, should be relatively safe within their group. Even their encounter with the wolf pack last time had ended in a false alarm; how could she have been injured today!
After the upgrade, Skywing traveled at full speed and in less than half an hour, Lin Yue had already landed at the coordinates shown on the map.
It was a deep, secluded forest, sunlight filtering through the dense canopy and casting dappled shadows. Puddles of varying depths dotted the woods, shimmering with the sun's rays. The plants and trees seemed far more lush than elsewhere, the air thick with the scent of earth and leaves—the very essence of nature. But along with this lushness came an omnipresent, subtle, and annoying buzzing sound.
Swarms of mosquitoes danced and swarmed through the woods, like an uninvited group of dancers weaving intricate symbols in the air. These mosquitoes were much larger than any Lin Yue had ever seen before, each about the size of a mineral water bottle cap. It was because of this that Lin Yue got her first direct look at what mosquitoes actually looked like.
These mosquitoes have slender bodies covered with tiny scales of varying colors, appearing dark brown and grayish-black in the light. They have a pair of prominent compound eyes on their heads, which occupy almost the entire surface of their heads and shimmer with an eerie green light.
Its slender mouthparts appeared very flexible, with the end of its proboscis branching into six slender tentacles that were constantly trembling slightly. Each leg was covered with fine bristles, and its wings, as thin as cicada wings, vibrated rapidly and rhythmically, emitting a soft buzzing sound.
They seemed to be particularly sensitive to human scent. Lin Yue had only stayed for a short while when the mosquitoes noticed her immediately. Countless mosquitoes rushed over from all directions and landed in front of Lin Yue, looking eager to try.
Lin Yue never thought she had trypophobia, but at this moment, she couldn't help but shiver. She quickly flapped her Sky Wings, spun around a few times, creating a gust of wind that temporarily blew the annoying mosquitoes away. Then she quickly looked around, but couldn't find Han Weiyi anywhere.
How is this going?
While constantly swatting away mosquitoes with her wings, Lin Yue sent a message in the group: "Weiyi, I've arrived at the coordinates. Where are you now?"
A few seconds later, she heard the little girl's familiar voice coming from below: "Sister? Sister, are you here? I'm here!"
Lin Yue looked around for a long time before finally realizing that Han Weiyi's voice seemed to be coming from a dark, square object among several large trees nearby.
The square object was located on the ground. Lin Yue looked down from mid-air and, due to the light and angle, initially thought it was the shadow of a tree and almost overlooked it.
After landing, Lin Yue first pulled the bed sheets she had thrown into the washing machine in Plants vs. Zombies that morning. Luckily, she had thought about not being able to return to her own platform for the next three days and had thrown the sheets into the washing machine, otherwise she really wouldn't have had the right tool right now.
Lin Yue draped the bed sheet over her head and body, then poked two small holes for her eyes before slowly approaching the square object.
Upon getting closer, Lin Yue realized that this wasn't a black shelter at all, but rather a square mosquito net that Han Weiyi had tied to a tree. However, now, countless mosquitoes were densely packed around the net, making it look like a black box.
How many mosquitoes must have gathered together to create this effect!
Lin Yue stood about a meter away from the mosquito net and began to ask Han Weiyi, "Weiyi, how are you now?"
Soon, Han Weiyi's voice came from inside the mosquito net: "Sister, I'm fine. I'm huddled in the middle of the mosquito net now, and all four zippers are closed. I've already killed the mosquitoes inside, and the mosquitoes outside can't get in either. Apart from feeling itchy and a little uncomfortable, the bleeding has stopped, so overall, there's nothing seriously wrong."
"Okay, you stay put and don't move. I'll think of something." Lin Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief and replied before starting to think about it.
Lin Yue had originally planned to use readily available materials, such as damp firewood, to drive away the mosquitoes with the smoke while on her journey. However, seeing the swarms of mosquitoes gathered together and Han Weiyi no longer in danger, she changed her mind.
After all, mosquitoes are prey too! And their numbers are truly astonishing. If we can eliminate them, we should be able to reap a large sum of points.
To verify her theory, Lin Yue extended a hand from under the bed sheet and used a dagger to slice a mosquito in front of her. The mosquito was cleanly cut in half and fell to the ground. Immediately afterward, a system notification sounded: [Killed Level 1 flying mosquito *1, Points +1, Current Points 29.]
Sure enough, her idea was correct. She knew that the place where the system placed Han Weiyi must have hidden many benefits.
Driving away mosquitoes isn't difficult, but eliminating them completely requires some thought. Using a knife is definitely inappropriate, so what tool should be used?
She didn't have any insecticide at the moment, and spray bottles weren't easy to make. If she had to resort to force...
Lin Yue first took out her old friend "Peashooter", but after thinking about it carefully, she put it back.
The Peashooter's attack power is moderate and it can certainly kill mosquitoes, but using it to attack such a dense swarm of mosquitoes would be a waste of pea bullets.
Furthermore, the pea shooters are powerful enough to break through locked wooden crates, and they should be able to destroy mosquito nets as well. The mosquito nets are a very important tool for them right now, so they need to be protected.
Lin Yue's gaze wandered around the cluster of plants, and suddenly, her eyes lit up, her gaze settling on the large purple flower.
