Chapter 50: Death of Player
Chapter 50: Death of Player
Ling Mo rested for a while and then went to the third floor.
Since coming here, she seldom goes to the third floor. It is called the third floor, but it is actually an attic. She has always used it as a storage room to store unnecessary things.
Although she could put all the things into the space, she was worried that if other people came to see her and saw the empty living room with few furniture, she would have a hard time explaining it.
but now.
Ling Mo put all the sundries on the third floor into the space, and then took out the ebony fungus he collected in the game.
They were neatly laid out on the ground along with the bark.
Fresh ebony fungus is slippery and very difficult to pick, but it becomes very easy to pick after being dried.
The last step is to remove the moisture-proof mat used to shade the window.
In an instant, the dazzling and scorching sunlight filled the room.
Fortunately, Ling Mo was well prepared. He not only wore colored contact lenses, but also wore glasses. The glaring sunlight did not have any adverse effects on him.
But under the strong sunlight, Ling Mo still felt that his exposed skin was burning and it felt like he was about to get sunburned.
Get out of this room immediately.
With this level of sunlight, all the moisture in the ebony fungus can be evaporated in less than an hour, so you may need to be careful not to overexpose it to the sun.
After returning to the first floor, Ling Mo was not idle either, but started exercising.
This time, the scientific training method developed for her was much better than her previous blind practice following the video.
Archery and shooting courses are also on the agenda.
Ling Mo has a lot of things she wants to learn, but she also knows that one cannot become fat in one go, and these things can only be learned bit by bit.
Qie Man even developed a special mental training method specifically for her situation.
Occasionally, when she felt it was too cold, Ling Mo would put away the water-cooling stone for a while. During the break, she would run to the third floor, put away the dried ebony fungus, and then put new ones up.
Ling Mo did not throw away the bark after picking the ebony fungus. After drying, it becomes soft and can be used as firewood.
She didn't finish her exercise until the sun set in the afternoon. Her clothes were completely soaked with sweat, but Ling Mo didn't complain at all. Instead, she felt very happy.
Because she knew that if she didn't sweat, she might bleed in the future.
Compared to the other, she would rather sweat.
After returning to the room and taking a shower, Ling Mo opened his phone while blow-drying his hair to see if there was any latest news.
I don’t know, I’m scared.
The appearance of water-cooling stones caused a sensation on the Internet, but because of the high price, most people simply cannot afford it, so they can only watch the fun.
But the other thing is different. A player actually died.
Ling Mo clicked on the post and found that the dead player did not die from the failure of the game, nor did he die from a fight between players. He died of illness.
The deceased player successfully completed the third round of the game, but started to feel unwell after the game ended. Not only did he suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, but his whole body was burning.
After going to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with systemic infection.
The infection spread from the inside out. Before the doctors could think of a solution, the player began to convulse and died.
After the player died, his body quickly decayed and emitted a foul odor. Upon learning the news, the government ordered the body to be burned without saying a word.
However, such cases are not isolated.
There were more than twenty other players who showed the same symptoms, some of them had completed the game and some had not.
However, the symptoms of these people were relatively mild, so they did not die as quickly as the previous person who went home, but the situation was still not optimistic. After questioning these people, it was found that these people had symptoms of discomfort after drinking water from the same lake.
At first they just thought the water tasted strange and didn't pay much attention to it, nor did they pay much attention when the discomfort symptoms first appeared.
By the time they realized the seriousness of the problem, it was already too late.
Ling Mo looked at the content on the post and couldn't help but think of the lake she had encountered before. Could it be the lake these players were talking about?
She felt strange at the time, but she didn't expect that there would actually be people who dared to drink it.
"Wait a minute, why do you think these people are like this? Is there really something wrong with that lake?"
"According to the owner's description, after analysis, it is not a lake, but the urine of the Titan Ape."
"Cough cough cough."
After listening to Qie Man's explanation, Ling Mo started coughing violently.
That is, that is actually...
Thinking back she felt it was weird at the time and didn’t stay for long.
"Can these people still be saved?" Ling Mo asked.
"The urine of the Titan Ape is slightly corrosive and highly infectious. If ingested by mistake, there is still hope of recovery in the early stages, but in the later stages, it will only work if you find a high-level healer."
The implication is that these people are beyond help.
There must be people on Blue Star who have awakened their healing talents, but let’s not talk about high-level healers, which refers to healers who have reached level six.
After putting down his phone and getting himself ready to go out.
After this period of extreme heat, people have become accustomed to going out at night.
"Check if the outside temperature is above 45 degrees. Check if the thermostat of the Illusion Cloak is activated."
"What is that? A thermostat?"
Ling Mo couldn't help but freeze in his place, and said depressedly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had this good thing?"
"It wasn't needed before Master, and I thought you knew about it."
Ling Mo: ...I suspect you are implying something about me.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems normal for such an expensive item to have this function.
After turning on the constant temperature device, he felt much more comfortable. For a moment, Ling Mo felt like he had returned to the time before the extreme heat.
When I came to the street, I found that many people were rushing into the shopping mall, and there were two burly men standing at the door of the shopping mall, collecting fees openly.
Ling Mo couldn't help but look at this scene in shock. What was going on? Now you have to pay to enter the mall? Why didn't these people resist? They looked like they couldn't wait to get in.
However, she soon found out what was going on.
It turned out that the owner of the mall had snatched a water-cooling stone and placed it inside his own mall, and then converted the entire first, second and third floors into places where people could cool off for a fee.
After understanding it, Ling Mo couldn't help but give that person a thumbs up. How awesome! Who would have thought that he could be a big boss?
However, Ling Mo did not choose to go in. She knew without thinking that it would be crowded inside, so she didn't want to go in.
Riding his electric bike, Ling Mo took many turns and arrived at the central square.
At this time, the place is brightly lit and bustling.
