Classic revival of infinite games

Chapter 5 1.4 The Death of Bill
Before Di Ke passed out, she was in great pain.

It wasn't just physical pain - she endured the knife and blood but couldn't scream.

There was also mental torture—a million swear words drifted through her mind, but she couldn't bear to say them.

It is Deke's principle not to swear in front of the elderly, children, and college roommates.

Therefore, Dike's coma at this time really saved her life.

the other side.

Ye Man finished bandaging the unconscious Di Ke, and then put his coat on her body.

She checked Deke's backpack.

The same contents are as follows: a military knife, a parachute drawn, a flashlight, flint and magnesium bars, a solar power bank, and a pencil.The different contents are: a bag of candy, an extra-long selfie stick with a horizontal display, a copy of "Overview of the Prehistoric Era", and... a bottle of mineral water with a total capacity of 2L, and only drank about 1/5 of it water.

Does flute have so much mineral water?
She couldn't help thinking of the scene of pouring muddy water on Di Ke's head before, and Ye Man suddenly felt a little sorry in her heart.

Then she looked at Dike's items and fell into deep thought.

——What would happen if the two people who entered the dungeon were not she and Dike, but two strangers who refused to give in?
It's a test of survival in an ancient world, but it's more of a game.

The more abundant fresh water is with Di Ke, but the life-saving medicine is with Ye Man.

The candies that can replenish sugar and energy in a short time are in Dike, and the carbohydrates that can replenish energy in the long term are in Yeman.

Even the fact that they own two different books suggests cooperation and sharing of information.

But is everything really that simple?

Di Ke, a sports girl, has a perfect score in physical education all the year round, marathon, rock climbing, boxing, and archery are not a problem, and she has even participated in several field camps.

Even a girl as strong as her can be directly bitten by a prehistoric creature, which means that Dike's initial landing position is dangerous to a certain extent.

Therefore, it is almost a certainty that the player character is bitten.

And Ye Man will encounter the injured Di Ke on the way to find the seat, that is to say, the encounter between the two players must be a systematic arrangement.

So if it is two strangers who are wary of each other, or acquaintances who cannot be honest, when a healthy person meets another injured person, will he go to the hospital directly like her?

And will the other injured player accept this life-and-death treatment?
Even if it can be treated, the injured player's badly injured leg does not know how long it will take to recover before he can start looking for a seat again.But find the distress transmitter on the seat, that is the speed-limiting step to get rescue in time and space.

In this case, there must be many healthy players who will choose to leave silently, then they will miss the cleanest fresh water supply at the moment, and need to find another water source in the vast jungle.

And if it is a ruthless person, I am afraid that they will directly snatch the backpack of the injured person, occupy all the resources in it, and leave the injured companion to fend for itself in the virgin forest.

Therefore, this plot will gradually develop towards the main line of "Loving Life".

The protagonist of "Love of Life" is the gold digger who sprained his ankle and was ruthlessly abandoned by his partner Bill.

The partner Bill, with both feet intact and always carrying sand, abandoned the protagonist and died in the end.

But the protagonist dumped all the gold dust, endured hunger and foot injuries, and survived tenaciously.

He ate moss and grass seeds without nutrients, sucked the leftover deer bones of wolves, swallowed young partridges alive, scared off the brown bears with desperate roars at the moment of life and death, and killed a coveted horse through patience and feigning death. The sick wolf was finally rescued.

And Bill, the partner who abandoned the protagonist, ended up being devoured by wolves.

For those who have never watched "Love of Life", it may be difficult to imagine that the injured and abandoned person is the protagonist of the story and the ultimate winner of the story in this situation.

In this dungeon, the "wolves" are most likely to be those prehistoric dragons.

So if you leave the injured hastily, you will definitely encounter great danger in the follow-up journey.

Bill died because he was full of sand, although he was healthy, but he walked heavily, and was chased and devoured by wolves.

And the behavior of [Bill is full of sand], in this dungeon, probably corresponds to [the healthy person gets the wounded person's backpack].

The resources in the backpack seem to be abundant, but there are 2L of water and hardcover books in the backpack of the injured, plus the illustration book of the healthy person, which is very heavy and will make the body extremely slow.

Dinosaurs have an air sac pressurization system in their bodies, which forms an amazing lung capacity, helping them to support their strong bodies and their agility at the same time.

A slow and healthy person is like an ant when he meets a strong and tall carnivorous dragon, and there is almost no possibility of surviving.

So how will the system be designed so that the healthy player [Bill] who abandoned the injured will inevitably be attacked by a carnivorous dragon?
Ye Man speculated that it might have something to do with the final landing point of the seat.

The game will set the seats in places where there are many large prehistoric creatures, and this is also very in line with the thinking of general game designers-key props need to be obtained through layers of danger.

Compared with the huge hidden risks of the healthy player [Bill], looking at the injured player [Protagonist], it seems that there is no chance of winning on the surface, but there may be hidden vitality.

Ye Man looked around and found that this cave was much richer than the caves she had been to before.

The first is the water seeping out from between the soil layers. This cave has more damp area than the previous cave, even dripping water faintly, and many ferns of various shapes grow in the middle of the moist soil layer.

These should be the vitality hidden by the system for the injured players.

Ye Man compared the "Overview of Prehistoric Era" (this is also a thick book with rich pictures and texts), in which there is a plant illustration.

Sure enough, she found some life-saving plants that appeared in the book in the soil layer:
Bowl fern, terrestrial fern, can clear away heat and detoxify when taken orally.

Black fern, a low plant, is often found in stone crevices. External application on wounds can reduce inflammation and help wounds recover.

Pteris fern, commonly found in rock crevices or wetlands, is edible and can also be used as medicine to clear away heat and dampness, cool blood and detoxify, and stop diarrhea.

...

So if the injured player wants to live, he can cut off the infected area by himself, and then supplement it with rich fern herbs, just like the protagonist of "Love Life", and then keep going until rescue comes.

"According to the story, if you don't use the seat to send messages, will you still wait for rescue?" Ye Man thought further.

Because their original identities were the children of the scientific expedition team, and according to the diary, her original owner also had a very worried "old man and old lady".

If you don't go back on time, there will definitely be a search and rescue team.

It's just that the space-time bureau needs to discover their disappearance first, and then explore their lost space-time, which will definitely take much longer than actively sending signals.

All in all, at first glance, Ye Man, a healthy player, has a high survival rate. In fact, the buffs of the protagonist are all added to the injured player.

What's more, in addition to the cooperation mode between her and Di Ke, the self-destruction mode in which healthy players abandon the wounded player, there is even a rare third mode-the wounded player's anti-kill mode.

Others may not be able to do it when they are injured, but Di Ke, an injured player, will certainly be able to.

Ye Man silently looked at the simple bow made of tree branches and sharp arrows all over the place—they were made by Di Ke, who was suffering from inflammation and high fever, by cutting the stiff plant stems with a knife.

The sick and weak Di Ke, with such rough equipment, shot a sharp arrow at Ye Man's scalp before Ye Man showed his identity.

Well, if it wasn't Ye Man who came, but a stranger with malicious intent.Di Ke should be able to counter-kill him, then seize his equipment, and survive in this cave like a mountain king...

Just as Ye Man was thinking, the King of the Mountain suddenly struggled and slowly woke up.

She sat up and looked at the bandaged leg, and made a serious bow to Ye Man: "Boss Ye, thank you for your help. Well, where are we?"
