The blizzard continues, and the sky is getting darker. It might only be a matter of time before it gets completely dark. But Lin Yu, who had not found a stronghold or started collecting firewood, did not panic. Because after bidding farewell to Sister Hua, he walked north... Therefore, this means that he is closer to the "props" given by Sister Hua at this moment. certainly…… The most important thing is that now Lin Yu has the professional blessing of a 'soldier' and holds a map in his hand. Even if he immediately finds a stronghold to grab some firewood, he still has plenty of time. But Lin Yu didn't want to waste this evening. It was precisely because 'Chart' and the snow monster would appear at night that Lin Yu didn't want to delay it too long. The conditions of his "upgrade mission" have already stated that he must tell different lies to "players who participate in each game".
But what if a player dies before that happens? Lin Yu felt that since the upgrade task was difficult, he would probably be sentenced to failure. so…… There was a difficulty hidden in his first upgrade mission. That is, Lin Yu must race against time to meet everyone and lie successfully before someone dies! Although the information Sister Hua got about the [Black Oil Torch] was very vague, Lin Yu could roughly guess where it was based on the map. On the map, it is a few kilometers due north of the stronghold that Sister Hua mentioned just now, which is also northwest of the stronghold where the dolphins were just now... It is an area marked in red with high-frequency activity of snow monsters. Although Sister Hua doesn’t have a map, this prop... She's really hard to get. But fortunately, Lin Yu is now a soldier after all, and he also has a [must-hit revolver]. Although there was only one bullet, Lin Yu felt it was enough. Since there is a monster named ‘Chart’, let’s clearly say that monster is invincible. That means that as an ordinary "snow monster" ruled by 'Chat', it is likely that it can be killed. If the soldier's physical fitness is combined with the pistol, it shouldn't be a problem to kill one. certainly…… It's better not to meet them! Lin Yu thought of this and quickened his pace again. He began to run at full speed on the snow.
soon…… Lin Yu realized that he had stepped into the "red zone". Because on the ground, on the snow that was constantly being thrown up by a new layer of floating snow and ice and sand by the storm, there appeared a series of heavy footprints with the snow compacted into ice. The footprint was three or four times the normal size with clear edges and only three toes. This does not appear to be "human" footprints. It rightly belongs to... Yeti. Lin Yu breathed out. "Phew, this thing is difficult to deal with just by looking at its footprints." He sighed. A primate or primate-like creature that is larger and stronger than a human is always extremely dangerous. The sky was getting darker and darker, making the originally howling wind sound like a whimper. Lin Yu looked at the direction in which the footprints extended, and calmly chose another direction perpendicular to it. "I hope to find that 'stone' as soon as possible." Lin Yu crossed these footprints and was still moving quickly - but his footsteps could be much lighter. Although I don’t know if the snow monster locates itself by “sound”, it never hurts to be careful. As the sky began to obviously affect visibility, Lin Yu was thinking about whether to give up. In the wind and snow in the distance, Lin Yu faintly saw a raised black shadow. The shape is relatively regular and seems to be like a rock. Although he has been running around in the "mountain", perhaps due to the polishing and burying by wind and snow, this Solstice Mountain has always been relatively flat, without any obvious raised stones. But here, there is a huge rock that suddenly rises. "It should be right here!" Lin Yu understood in his heart and took two steps closer to the giant rock. This huge rock looks like a square stone inserted diagonally into the ground, so there is an area below where the snow is obviously thinner. Lin Yu walked under the rock, stepped back and forth a few times, and soon felt that he had stepped on something. He leaned down to sweep away the snow, and soon found a torch made of black metal. The torch head was very delicate, much more delicate than Lin Yu imagined - a hollow cylinder with flame-like patterns carved on it. After touching it, you will see the prompt of the prop.
[Black oil torch: A torch that can burn in various environments, providing constant temperature and light. It can effectively drive away monsters that are afraid of fire. 】 [Note: In this game, it has a miraculous effect on dispelling "snow monsters". 】 Sister Hua is indeed sincere, even the effect of this prop is basically true to her words. Lin Yu bent down and tried to pick up the torch, but found that he couldn't pick it up. He recalled the "foot feeling" just now, frowned, and swept the snow again. "Tsk...as expected." The torch was held in one hand. The hand had long been frozen, and the fingers and the end of the torch were stuck together, so Lin Yu couldn't pick it up at once. but…… Fortunately, Lin Yu is now a 'soldier' and has no shortage of strength. He broke it hard, and there was a crisp breaking sound from below. "Crack!" Several fingers were torn off, and Lin Yu took them off the end of the torch. The black metal torch was cold and smooth to the touch, and it was a bit cold. Lin Yu rubbed and scraped the place where his fingers had just touched on the rocks beside him to remove the dead skin stuck on it. Then, Lin Yu studied how to light the torch. "You can't ask me to bring my own fire..." Lin Yu muttered. If that's the case, it will be bad luck. However, since the description of this torch says "can burn in various situations", its ignition method should not be too primitive. Sure enough, Lin Yu quickly found a gap at the end of the torch. The gap was very thin, and if there were not a few ice chips stuck in it, Lin Yu would not be able to see it. Lin Yu studied it a little and figured it out. "That's it!" He rotated the black column under the gap, and then the whole torch made a subtle "bang" sound! A ray of white light flashed on the hollow torch above, and then... The pale flame burst out from the top of the torch, burning quietly, emitting a soft and cold light that was not dazzling, illuminating the surrounding snow. Afterwards, the temperature of the entire torch became a little warm, and holding the torch, Lin Yu's hands were warm.
Lin Yu was quite surprised. "What a fun thing! I really have to thank Sister Hua for this!" After saying that, Lin Yu looked at his fingers on the ground. "Thank you too, brother...but how did you die here with such a good torch?" He thought with some curiosity. In order to investigate the "cause of death" so that he could have a place to stay, Lin Yu squatted down with the torch in his hand, and then cleared the snow covering the body. As the snow was cleared, Lin Yu's face became a little solemn. The cause of death of the body was still unclear. The whole body looked like there was no obvious external injury, but the gray face was frozen with a horrified expression. Lin Yu had seen the face of this corpse before. It was the rough uncle he met at the beginning. Even the clothes were exactly the same! "Oh, there is a surprise." Lin Yu looked at the corpse and muttered to himself.
