Civilization Paradise

Chapter 9 Desert Town
A few seconds later, the white light gradually faded, and everyone's vision gradually returned.

A wave of heat hit him instantly, and Long Ming couldn't help but squint as he looked around.

Countless ruins came into view.

These ruins are mostly made of a mixture of earth and stone, and have been eroded beyond recognition by wind and sand. The ground is covered with yellow sand, but some dilapidated buildings still retain their main structure.

Wow, what kind of place is this?!

"I don't know, it just feels very hot!"

"It looks like a desert?"

"Holy crap, we can't be that unlucky, we've been driven all the way to the desert."

"What do we do next?"

"I do not know!"

Many players stared blankly at their surroundings.

Long Ming looked down at the bracelet to see if there were any notifications.

He then discovered that the task log had been updated.

Mission: Survive!
Requirements: Players must survive in the world of Wabiga for more than 12 hours and evacuate safely.

Reward: 500 One-Dimensional Coins
Note: Only the living have the right to talk about everything.

Note: Since you are using a gaming headset, the maximum gaming time is 24 hours. If you exceed this time, you will be automatically logged out due to death.

After Long Ming finished reading the mission, he noticed that the map on the bracelet interface had been updated.

He immediately opened the map with great anticipation, only to find that the map interface was almost entirely black, with only his own area being displayed.

If I'm not mistaken, you have to explore and unlock the map yourself.

However, on the completely black map, there are green dots, and these green dots are the evacuation points.

There are quite a few of these evacuation points, and some of them are not far from his location, so the evacuation does not seem to be too difficult.

Long Ming then closed the bracelet interface and looked up at the ruins where he was.

From the distribution of the remaining building ruins, it can be vaguely identified that this is the site of a town, but it was so badly damaged that many houses are now just one or two earthen or stone walls.

Long Ming immediately began to explore, carefully examining the dilapidated buildings around him as he walked, hoping to find something of value.

Unfortunately, all we saw along the way was gravel, and we could hardly find anything of value.

However, Long Ming patiently continued his search.

After more than ten minutes, Long Ming finally found a relatively well-preserved house ruin, although it only had three walls and the roof had collapsed.

He cautiously walked in and saw that there were many pebbles and gravel scattered inside.

At first glance, there is nothing of value.

However, at this moment, Long Ming keenly noticed that something seemed to be covered up in the corner of the wall.

He walked over, squatted down, and gently brushed away the surface gravel, revealing a section of metal chain.

Long Ming tried pulling it out and immediately pulled out a three-meter-long thin iron chain.

Long Ming raised his wristband and scanned it, and the screen displayed information.

metal chain
Grade: White.

Material: Iron.

Value: Extremely low.

Weight: 3KG.

Looking at the information displayed on the bracelet, Long Ming hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to put it into his backpack.

Although the value is very low, it's still better than going home empty-handed.

However, after the metal chain was put into the backpack, Long Ming clearly felt that the backpack became heavier, but it was still within his tolerance range, so the impact was not very obvious.

Long Ming looked around to make sure nothing was missed before leaving to search for other building remains.

He found that there were players searching everywhere outside, so he quickly quickened his pace and searched further.

Half an hour later, Long Ming walked to the central area of ​​the ruins empty-handed, where he saw a large group of players gathered and chatting.

"Did you find anything of value?"

"Find a hammer, there's nothing here but sand."

"Sigh, I couldn't find it either."

At this moment, a woman with fair skin and pigtails in the crowd kept fanning her cheeks with her hands while muttering complaints.

"It's so hot, I can't stand it."

Unfortunately, the air here is hot, so the fanned air is also hot and has no effect whatsoever.

So she reached out and unbuttoned her collar, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.

The players around her were immediately drawn to her actions and looked over, with many swallowing hard.

At this moment, a rather sleazy-looking man with shifty eyes grinned and spoke to a man next to him wearing a black vest and with a light scar on his forehead.

"Cao Heng, what do you think of that girl?" "She's got a great look!"

"You said this world is so realistic, I wonder what it would be like to play it."

"Zheng Bin, what do you mean?"

"hey-hey!"

Zheng Bin gave Cao Heng a wicked grin.

Cao Heng immediately smiled knowingly.

The two walked up to the woman in tacit agreement and spoke with smiles.

"Miss, I see you're playing alone, how about we team up?"

Seeing that Cao Heng and his companion were acting so lewdly, with their eyes fixed on her chest, Lin Yue immediately realized that they had ill intentions and refused them.

"Need not!"

"Don't be shy, we'll take care of you."

Cao Heng shamelessly moved closer to the woman.

Lin Yue instinctively took a few steps back, feeling uneasy, and asked nervously.

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to team up with you to play."

Zheng Bin didn't care whether she was willing or not, and reached out his hand to the woman with a wicked smile.

Many of the players around looked annoyed at what they saw, but no one stepped forward to stop it.

Long Ming glanced at it once before turning his attention to observing his surroundings and the crowd.

After all, others come here for entertainment, but he comes here to find a way to survive.

At that moment, a reprimanding voice rang out.

"stop!"

Zheng Bin's hand froze instantly, and he turned his head to look at him with some annoyance.

A tall, handsome young man with sharp eyes, wearing a white shirt, walked over.

Zheng Bin looked at the man and warned him in an unfriendly tone.

"Kid, this is none of your business, don't meddle."

"I just can't stand it, and I like to meddle, so what?"

The young man was not afraid at all.

Lin Yue quickly hid behind the young man.

Zheng Bin and Cao Heng felt utterly humiliated. Just as they were about to retaliate, four players walked over and asked them questions.

"Qin Yan, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just two scoundrels from Sin City."

Qin Yan twisted his neck, as if preparing to make a move.

"Haha, just kidding, let's go."

Seeing that Qin Yan also had companions, Zheng Bin changed his tune and immediately gave in, leaving with Cao Heng.

After the two left, Qin Yan turned to Lin Yue and said.

"fine."

"Thank you."

Lin Yue looked at the tall and handsome Qin Yan, her cheeks slightly flushed, and expressed her gratitude.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the other players continued their conversation.

"What kind of bullshit game is this? I've been looking for ages and haven't found anything."

"Exactly, and it's super hot too!"

"I'm a little thirsty."

"Are we here to play games, or to suffer?"

"Then what should we do next?"

"Who knows? We'll probably have to leave here and search somewhere else."

"Is it dangerous outside?"

"Definitely."

"What should I do? Can someone help me?"

Listening to everyone's complaints, Long Ming could roughly determine that there was nothing of value here, so he turned and left.
