Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

A surge of joy welled up inside Zhou Zeyang. He had only made the request on a whim, without much hope. He never expected Sister Lin Yue to agree so readily. His face flushed with excitement, and he eagerly and joyfully took the small wooden box containing the "Peashooter" from Lin Yue's hands.

Zhao Lei, who was standing to the side, couldn't contain his curiosity either. He quickly moved closer to Zhou Zeyang, leaned over, and started studying the place together.

Zhou Zeyang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, before carefully patting Pea's head. When he saw the red dot symbolizing the shooting target, a huge surge of joy welled up in his heart, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up into a big smile.

"It works! It works! Sister Lin Yue, I can use it too!!!" Zhou Zeyang shouted excitedly, forgetting Liang Dong's earlier instruction to keep quiet. His voice echoed in the cave, with a faint echo.

Liang Dong looked over with a cold face. Zhou Zeyang touched his head embarrassedly, quickly lowered his voice, and repeated, "I can use it!" His voice still held an undisguised excitement.

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on her face. It really works?

Zhou Zeyang and Zhao Lei couldn't wait any longer and lifted the wooden box, turning to Lin Yue excitedly, "Sister Lin Yue, let's go to the cave entrance and see if we can catch some game. Don't worry, we won't go far!"

Seeing their excitement, Lin Yue knew that stopping them would be pointless, so she simply gestured with her lips, "Go ahead, go ahead!"

However, less than ten seconds later, their shouts came from the other side of the cave entrance: "Why can't it work?"

"Get out of my way, is it because you don't know how to do it?"

"Come here, come here!"

"Hey, why is it gone?"

"Holy crap, did you just shake it to death? It's not moving at all!"

"No...no way! Don't scare me!"

The two argued and bickered for a while, then hurriedly carried the "Peashooter" back. Zhou Zeyang looked anxious, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He said breathlessly to Lin Yue, "Sister Lin Yue, I don't know why, but your 'Peashooter' suddenly stopped working."

"It doesn't work?" Lin Yue was also a little puzzled. Why did it suddenly stop working again? She stood up, intending to check the situation.

Seeing this, Zhou Zeyang quickly stepped forward, gesturing wildly as he tried to describe the problem they had just encountered: "We just moved it to the entrance of the cave, and then it suddenly stopped responding. It stopped wobbling and shaking its head, like it was suddenly frozen in place. I tried putting my hand on it, but the aiming device didn't appear. You see..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw the "Peashooter" turn to look at him, and he couldn't help but choke, his expression instantly turning awkward.

Zhao Lei, standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Lin Yue, really? I saw it just now too. This little thing suddenly froze like it was petrified. How come it's fine and back to normal now?"

Lin Yue pondered for a moment, and then, having formed a preliminary guess in her mind, said, "Try again, but this time go slower and observe it carefully."

The two men nodded, indicating they understood. They lifted the wooden crate again and carefully began moving it out step by step.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The Peashooter was still wriggling its body lively and energetically.

Eight steps, nine steps, ten steps...

It still looks vibrant and normal.

Thirty steps, thirty-one steps, thirty-two steps...

Just then, Zhou Zeyang and Zhao Lei both suddenly stopped in their tracks, turned around and shouted, "Don't move!"

Lin Yue took a few steps forward, and the two men shouted again, "It's alive! It's alive again!"

Lin Yue couldn't see it, but Zhou Zeyang and the other person noticed that the "Peashooter" in their hands started to wriggle again, as if the previous stillness was just their illusion.

This experiment made it clear that while others could indeed manipulate the plants, they couldn't stray too far from Lin Yue. After several more experiments, they finally determined that all the plants would lose their vitality if they were moved more than 26 meters away from Lin Yue.

The number 26 meters was quite special. Lin Yue immediately thought of her mental strength. If she guessed correctly, this range would continue to expand after her mental strength improved.

With this limitation, Zhou Zeyang and the others felt somewhat regretful. They had originally thought they could also keep a plant friend, both cute and usable as a weapon.

It seems that this wish is going to be dashed. After all, it's alright on the floating island, but once they return to their respective platforms, the distance will be too great.

Despite this, no discord arose among them. They seemed to have tacitly agreed that the weapon blueprint would remain with Lin Yue, and the treasure map fragments would also stay with her for now. They could look at the map later when it was pieced together into a complete treasure map. Perhaps the treasure they found would contain resources more suitable for the others, and then they could each take what they needed.

Seeing how much they believed in her, Lin Yue felt a little happy. This high-altitude survival game had no end in sight, and meeting a few like-minded partners to support each other and move forward together was clearly easier than going it alone.

Lin Yue had already made up her mind, so she stopped being polite with them. It was already late, so after a quick wash, they arranged the night watch schedule. Except for Han Weiyi, who was responsible for the first two hours, the others went to rest.

Everyone seemed to be looking out for the girls. Han Weiyi was responsible for the first two hours, while Lin Yue was responsible for the last two hours. This way, they could both get a full night's sleep. As for Xu Tiantian, she had her boyfriend keeping watch with her. Zhao Lei and she snuggled around the campfire, reminiscing about their experiences in the game, and didn't seem tired at all.

When Lin Yue was woken up, the campfire had dimmed considerably, but the light inside the cave was unaffected. She checked her bracelet; it was six in the morning, so it should be light outside by now.

Since there were no forks in the cave, Lin Yue wasn't worried about the others being suddenly attacked. She tidied herself up and slowly walked towards the cave entrance, wanting to check the situation outside first.
