Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Jin Xuan looked Lin Yue over carefully again, then a slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on her lips as she said to Lin Yue, "Clean this up, and that..."

Lin Yue followed Jin Xuan's gaze and looked over. She was pointing to a corner of the stone house: "That place is full of junk that these little mice have picked up from who knows where. It's a mess and smells terrible. You can clean it up for me too, so I don't have to suffer from the smell."

After saying these words, Jinxuan stopped looking at the person and the mouse in front of her, slowly lay back on the recliner, and closed her eyes.

The little mouse suddenly became very cautious, as if afraid of waking Jinxuan. It first crept up to the shelf next to it and stretched out its two front paws to try to reach the hanging blanket. After finally managing to pull the blanket down, it struggled to bite it and climb onto the recliner, ready to cover Jinxuan with it.

Standing to the side, Lin Yue looked at the gray blanket that was mostly dragging on the ground, sighed softly, and quickly walked over, bending down to pick it up. Then, under the little mouse's gaze, she took out a new blanket from her wristband bag and gently draped it over Jin Xuan.

The blanket had been washed and dried in an automatic washing machine, and still retained a faint, warm scent characteristic of sun-dried blankets. Jinxuan clearly felt quite comfortable as well, and her previously furrowed brows relaxed a bit.

As if it had completed a major task, the little mouse squeaked softly twice at Lin Yue, then contentedly lay on the armrest of Jin Xuan's recliner, quietly no longer moving.

Lin Yue quietly tidied up the table, and then walked towards a corner of the room, following the directions Jin Xuan had given her.

In that corner sat a rather large wooden box, which looked quite old, with clear signs of age. The wood grain on the surface was somewhat blurred, and it wasn't locked. Lin Yue gently reached out and pushed it, and with a "creak," the wooden box opened.

The moment Lin Yue's gaze fell upon the contents of the box, she gasped and quickly covered her mouth tightly!

The box was filled with countless fragments of treasure maps, scattered haphazardly. Some were yellowed and worn, while others were stained with dark red blood.

But! If this is the junk that Jinxuan is talking about, then she's willing to clean up junk for her every day!

A moment later, Lin Yue snapped out of her excitement and quickly began to collect the fragments. She first took a towel, wet it, wrung it out, and carefully wiped the bloodstains and dirt off each fragment before placing them one by one on the table.

Soon, the originally dirty fragments gradually revealed clear patterns and lines.

Treasure Map Fragment 1

Treasure Map Fragment 4

Treasure Map Fragment 9

Treasure Map Fragment 13

……

Hmm? Lin Yue stared at the familiar treasure map fragment in her hand for a while, then remembered that Han Weiyi had also obtained a fragment with the same number before.

So, there are duplicates among these treasure map fragments. Lin Yue frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. There was a whole box full of treasure map fragments in front of her; duplicates were to be expected!

Moreover, several thousand people from District 7 have entered this points battle. If there is only one fragment for each person, even if they risk their lives to grab it, it will be difficult to piece together a complete treasure map.

Lin Yue happily began to organize the treasure map fragments in her hands. After piecing together all the non-repeating fragments in order, the treasure map fragments in her hands had formed a basically complete map.

Unfortunately, the map is not perfect; besides the slightly yellowed edges, it is missing four sections in the middle. But thankfully, the general outline is still visible.

To Lin Yue's surprise, the number of treasure map fragments was far greater than she had initially thought. She had assumed there would be around 16 or 20 pieces, but in reality, the entire treasure map consisted of 50 fragments. The fragments Lin Yue was missing were the 8th, 17th, 26th, and 28th pieces.

It seems that the threshold for treasure hunting is not low.

The gaps in these sections were close together, so Lin Yue could roughly make out the whole shape from other angles. The winding lines outlined undulating mountains and deep canyons, like a long snake coiled on the earth. Beside those lines were densely packed marks and symbols, some resembling ancient hieroglyphs, others like some kind of mysterious totem.

On the 27th fragment, located slightly to the right of the center of the map, above the snake's head, a striking red X stands out.

The fork was surrounded by concentric circles of various shapes. Unfortunately, several maps next to the fork were missing, so Lin Yue couldn't determine the specific terrain of its location. She could only deduce from the interwoven paths further away that the location of the red fork was most likely a hidden underground tunnel.

Aside from the complete map, Lin Yue also had more than a dozen duplicate fragments. Among them, fragment number 2 had the most duplicates, and fragments like number 11 and number 13, which were far from the red crosses, also had a certain degree of duplication.

On the contrary, the closer to 27, the lower the repetition rate of the fragments, and it is estimated that the number of people who can eventually piece it together will be limited.

I never expected that this trip with the little mouse would bring me such a big surprise!

Lin Yue took a picture of the completed map and posted it in the group chat, which immediately drew gasps of amazement!

Han Weiyi was the fastest; her string of exclamation marks seemed to burst through the screen: "Sister, are you really human?!"

Zhou Zeyang couldn't contain his excitement and shouted, "Holy crap, this must feel like being carried!"

Although Liang Dong only sent a string of exclamation marks, he was clearly quite shocked.

Even Zhao Lei and Xu Tiantian, who had been engrossed in their romantic time together these past two days, were jolted awake by this sudden news: "Holy crap, Sister Lin Yue, did you go on a massacre? How did you get so many treasure map fragments?!"

Faced with everyone's astonishment and questions, Lin Yue herself found it somewhat unbelievable. After all, the day's events had been quite convoluted and bizarre, and explaining everything clearly would be quite troublesome. After a moment's thought, Lin Yue decisively replied, "Let's talk about the details when we meet."
