Chapter 379 The First Mist Core
"I'll go in too..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Youyou suddenly realized that she hadn't actually entered the fog, but was simply standing at the base entrance looking out, and hadn't actually gone out.
Lu Youyou asked again, "There was no reaction at the time, and it was like this after you woke up, right?"
Wang Qiao closed her eyes weakly, nodding instead.
"So when you entered the mist yesterday, Li Jinyue, Xiao Liu, and Zhang Yuning also went in?"
Wang Qiao opened his eyes and closed them again, his hoarse voice uttering one word at a time.
"They were afraid I would get into trouble in the fog, so they followed me."
To Lu Youyou, Wang Qiao's voice was not clear, as if it had been blurred.
She had to guess and infer to understand what Wang Qiao meant.
"Okay, I understand. You should rest well first. If even the advanced all-purpose pills can't cure it, then you can only wait for your body to heal itself."
The more Lu Youyou thought about it, the more she felt that she was right.
Wang Qiao received the human evolution fluid earlier than I did; it wasn't given to me by an NPC, but rather as a personal reward from an adult.
Judging from this, she should be considered a human being recognized by adults, and she certainly wouldn't die just because she entered the mist once.
Perhaps this change is one that is beneficial to the body.
Seeing that Wang Qiao had closed his eyes and his breathing had gradually calmed down, Lu Youyou must have fallen asleep. She tiptoed away.
She visited several people who were feeling unwell, then returned to her room.
After this incident, Lu Youyou dared not leave the base casually and could only glean information from the experiences of others.
People like Wang Qiao can't discuss things in the public chat, and their teammates don't gossip about it either.
For a while, no one posted on the public chat that entering the fog would cause discomfort.
"Xiao Lu, filter the chat history for me, only keep those related to the fog."
Okay, your selection has been successful.
Lu Youyou scrolled through the filtered chat history.
After filtering out some of the anxious and useless chatter, she actually discovered information that she had inadvertently missed before.
[Player 89003: I've discovered something! Within my own territory, the fog can't penetrate. With the vehicle or base as the center, the line of sight is only about one meter.]
[Red Carp: You went out? You can't go out! My friend went out and immediately became bedridden!]
[Fox Isn't a Scoundrel: Your friend must have gone out alone. If he went out with a car, he'd be fine. Otherwise, wouldn't someone without a base just die on the spot?]
[Zhang Liang: Yes, the fox is right. You either drive out of the base, or you don't go out at all. People can't just get out of the car and directly enter the fog.]
[Gentle: I still suggest everyone stay in the base and not go out. Who knows if monsters will appear in the fog? If you don't fight the monsters, the vehicle will be attacked and you'll be doomed. If you get out of the car to fight the monsters, you'll get caught in their trap.]
【...】
There are many similar sayings, but they all express the same meaning.
People cannot approach the mist without protective gear, and protective gear can be obtained by exchanging mist cores in the exchange shop.
The most urgent task is to find the fog core, otherwise we will be stuck in the base forever.
Lu Youyou thought of her all-powerful map, which could display resources and treasure chests.
She opened the Universal Map app, entered "fog core" in the top input box, and then searched.
[We have found a nearby location with a fog core for you.]
Lu Youyou looked and saw that the marked items were all treasure chest icons on the roadside.
In other words, the fog core is hidden in the treasure chest.
She definitely couldn't drive out to find the treasure chest, since the mobile base would automatically retract when she left.
She took a screenshot of the map page and sent a message to the gang group.
[Lu Youyou: I know where the fog core is. Anyone willing to go out? I'll give you a map.]
Soon, all the healthy members contacted Lu Youyou via private message, a total of 20 people.
Lu Youyou marked the numbers 1 to 20 on the red dots on the map.
Each time you send this screenshot, you are telling the other party a number, which is the purpose of their trip.
I sent it to the third person, and the first person sent a question mark.
[Zhang Weimin: Xiaoyou, the image you sent seems to be blank. I almost thought it was because my internet connection was bad and it failed to load.]
Lu Youyou clicked on the screenshot she had sent, and it was indeed blank.
Subsequently, Zhen Lu and Ding Yuxin also sent the same message, both saying that the map they were looking at was blank.
Lu Youyou could only provide a unified explanation to everyone in the group chat.
[Lu Youyou: The Universal Map is linked to my watch, so you can't see the screenshot. I'll think of another way.]
[Zhan Yu: A universal map! I knew about this. I should have used the Murloc's Blessing to exchange for it. I was so greedy; I used three blessings to exchange for three Treasure Bowls...]
Yang Yan: ...At least I changed three different things, you really are...
[Zhang Weimin: Xiaoyou, just tell us verbally. We'll draw the map ourselves. If we really can't find it, we can teleport back to base anytime.]
Yang Yan: That's a good idea.
Lu Youyou thought about it and agreed to the solution.
She described in detail the direction, the route, and the number of treasure chests.
After everyone finished drawing their own maps, she compared them with her own universal map and made some minor corrections, which made them into proper maps.
Suddenly, Lu Youyou thought of something else.
[Lu Youyou: You can drive out, but you can't get out to pick up the treasure chests, so we need someone with an intelligent iron arm or the ability to automatically pick up treasure chests to go out and search.]
[Zhan Yu: Can you open the car door, without getting out, and just use the trash cans to grab the treasure chest?]
[Lu Youyou: I don't know, but just to be on the safe side, let's not. Those who meet one of the two criteria I mentioned can go; the rest of you wait at the base.]
[Zhen Lu: I'm sorry everyone, I don't have a smart iron arm or an automatic pickup system, so it seems I can't go out.]
[Zhang Weimin: You can go out now! I just glanced at the public chat, and Jiang Aiyuan said you can use the trash cans to open the treasure chest in the car, and that there are fog cores inside.]
[Zhen Lu: Great! I'll go out right away. Now even more people know there's a treasure chest in the Mist Core, our guild can't fall behind.]
[Lu Youyou: Everyone, be careful. If you notice anything amiss, teleport back to base immediately.]
Lu Youyou didn't get a reply, but she wasn't angry because she knew everyone was racing against time to get to the garage to drive their cars.
The clock is ticking.
Even though Lu Youyou knew there would be notifications for member casualties, she still couldn't help but keep looking at everyone's profile pictures.
hum~
Her watch suddenly vibrated slightly. Zhang Weimin had put something into the communal supply pool, and as the gang leader, she was able to receive a notification.
[Vice guild leader Zhang Weimin has placed supplies into the public resource pool. Please check it regularly.]
Lu Youyou clicked on the notification and saw what Zhang Weimin had left there.
[Mist Core *1: The only currency for exchanging supplies at the exchange shop.]
