Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 11 Flexible moral bottom line

Seeing the dwarf's actions, Lin Yang subconsciously revealed a hint of excitement—when these three are either dead or injured, he will be the one to reap the rewards!

Jiang Ran had already noticed when the dwarf pulled out his crossbow, not to mention Lin Yang's obvious expression.

Almost the instant the crossbow bolt was released, she deftly turned to the side, raised her hand, and caught the small arrow with its tip flashing an eerie color!
The dwarf's smile froze on his face instantly.

Before he could turn and run away, a bullet had already pierced his shoulder!

Tsk.

Jiang Ran was a little dissatisfied. She had clearly aimed for the head... It seemed she still needed to practice aiming more.

Fortunately, the ten advanced physique modification cards have given her amazing physical abilities, so she ignored the recoil of the gun and fired another bullet.

This time it hit right in the chest.

Lin Yang was startled and quickly forced a smile: "Brick Sister is awesome! As expected, people who would betray their own boss shouldn't be kept around!"

Seeing that both the dwarf and Lao Luo were dead, Brother Long felt a sense of relief, but at the same time, he also realized that with Jiang Ran's methods, he wouldn't be able to escape either.

With a mocking glance at Lin Yang, who thought he had escaped death, Brother Long slumped back in the wicker chair, closed his eyes, and said, "I misjudged this time. I admit defeat. Anyway, I'm just a worthless life. Kill me if you want. Maybe after I die, I'll just go straight back to reality, hahaha..."

Jiang Ran had no interest in dying words; with a flick of her wrist, she cleanly and efficiently finished off Brother Long.

In the blink of an eye, only Jiang Ran and Lin Yang remained alive in the cave.

After witnessing Jiang Ran catch the crossbow bolt with her bare hands, Lin Yang no longer had any intention of resisting.

But his expression remained calm, because he believed he hadn't done anything to wrong Jiang Ran, at least not openly.

It was all Brother Long's idea; he was clearly a pitiful victim as well.

In a flash of inspiration, Lin Yang put on a fawning smile: "Sister Brick, you're also a beta tester, so you have a space too, right? Thanks to you for saving me, otherwise I would have been tortured to death by these bastards!"
"Consider these supplies my thank-you gift, and also the favor I told you before—the promise to trick Little Spinner out—is still valid! Someone like you, if Little Spinner could help you open the box, you'd definitely become a powerful figure in no time!"

After he finished speaking, he laid out a lot of food and supplies on the open space, which seemed to show his sincerity.

Jiang Ran remained noncommittal, but naturally, she wouldn't refuse the supplies that were delivered to her door.

But the very next second after putting away the supplies, she dealt with Lin Yang without hesitation.

Do you really think you didn't see the smug look on the dwarf's face when he made his move?

Moreover, someone who betrays their friends without hesitation will only remind Jiang Ran of some disgusting memories.

Going back was much easier.

However, the temperature did not decrease as the sun slowly set; instead, the red glow emanating from the cracks in the ground made it even more suffocating.

Even hiding in a cave at this point only provides slight relief.

Looking at the increasingly conspicuous light emanating from the crevice, which even faintly reflected the setting sun, Jiang Ran felt a chill; the activity of the magma was gradually becoming more frequent.

Following the location, she carefully pressed the accelerator.

Just as we returned to the mountainside at the entrance, the tire finally gave out and burst.

Jiang Ran got out of the car, and even through the thick soles of her shoes, she could still feel the heat emanating from the ground.

She packed up the car and quickly returned to the cave she had been in before.

The most difficult part of the Flaming Mountain dungeon is that there is almost no temperature difference between night and day.

Especially after the first mass volcanic eruption occurred, magmatic activity became more frequent.

Although the sun was shrouded in layers of dark clouds, the ubiquitous lava and fire ants continued to reap the lives of players in large numbers. Fortunately, Jiang Ran, having already experienced this once, had enough experience to deal with the fire ants.

In her previous life, Jiang Ran's pickaxe was an ordinary iron pickaxe with 5 health points. Not only could it not make fallen rocks disappear, but it was also slow and laborious to dig through mountains.

To save time and energy, she only dug out a gourd-shaped space large enough for her to fit in, and blocked all the falling rocks at the entrance.

Not only did she escape the volcanic eruption by sheer luck, but she also inadvertently blocked the path of the fire ant army. She also managed to defeat any stray fire ants one by one, ultimately surviving.

This time she has more resources, so there's no reason for her to be worse off than in her previous life.

She took out the safe house and placed it there. Then she took out several huge stones from her storage space to block the entrance and set up several infrared alarms in the corner.

The appearance of the young lady in black stockings, along with the Xu couple who landed nearby, made Jiang Ran even more cautious.

Due to the butterfly effect, it's hard to guarantee that other players won't land nearby. And with the game's items being so varied, one person with incredible luck (like a small spinning top) might end up with many more medium and large spinning tops.

You can't be too careful.

Once inside the safe house, Jiang Ran, who had relaxed, finally felt a bit tired.

It's not that I'm tired, I'm just too hot to have any energy.

She took a big gulp of the refreshing milk tea and felt like she had come back to life.

Opening the chat lobby, messages are being refreshed even more frequently.

But they mainly buy heatstroke medicine, saline solution, or electrolyte solution.

Because people gradually realized that at this temperature, drinking large amounts of water would only make them die faster.

Sweat constantly depletes the body of sodium, potassium, and chloride. Players who are already short of resources are lucky to even have water to drink, let alone replenish sufficient electrolytes.

When the first group of players suffered from muscle weakness and even cardiac arrest due to hypokalemia, everyone thought they were poisoned, and the chat lobby was filled with cries for medicine.

It wasn't until a player who was a doctor before entering the game kindly explained, "When you're sweating a lot, you can't just drink pure water; you must replenish electrolytes."

People then realized that drinking water could cause problems.

Panicked players naturally began to scramble to buy electrolytes and diluted salt water.

Some people even called out the doctor who had previously explained the situation.

"Since you knew how to solve it, why didn't you say so sooner?!"

"Is that even a question? It's intentional. I've been annoyed by these hypocritical people for a long time. They only come out to explain themselves now that they're in trouble. How impressive!"

"Exactly! I've already drunk so much purified water, and now I feel weak. Am I going to get electrolyte imbalance too? It's your problem that you didn't tell me beforehand, and you have to take responsibility!"

……

Jiang Ran was so angry at this kind of person that she almost laughed.

But whether in the previous life or this life, there are quite a few people like this.

Their moral bottom line is very flexible; they demand that others be saints, while they themselves can be forgiven for anything.

In this way, they can use the relics extracted from the saint's body to exchange for more benefits.

Therefore, if you sweat a lot on a hot day, be sure to balance your electrolytes when replenishing fluids.
