Inoue couldn't compete with three men, and Ivan had no intention of fighting. Matli had unknowingly regarded Qiu Yu as his backbone. So even though Qiu Yu didn't fight for anything, he became the default leader of this group of people.
"There is still water and electricity in the house now, but I can't guarantee how long it will last. One person needs to find some containers here and store as much water as possible. The other three people go outside to collect all necessary items, mainly food. The final time limit for action is before dark."
In fact, it may not be that there is no danger now, but Qiu Yu can't scare them away.
"I……"
Ivan wanted to say he stayed to get the water. But Qiu Yu took his words and completely twisted them.
"Okay, you go out with us. In this case, you really need as much transport capacity as possible. You can't carry much on the well, so just get the water here."
Speaking of which, no matter how thick-skinned Ivan was, he was embarrassed to say that he wanted to stay.
Ivan and Mattli each carried a large backpack, while Qiuyu grabbed two sheets and went out.
"Let's go check out the shops on the street first."
Without giving the two of them a chance to question, Qiu Yu walked directly to the exit of the villa area after saying this.
During the visit to the neighbors just now, Qiu Yu already had a general understanding of the environment here. This villa area is surrounded by a wall more than two meters high. There are only two front and rear doors for the entrance and exit. Unfortunately, the seven-eight-meter-wide front door only has an electric railing, which has no protective effect at all. Otherwise, you can consider building a line of defense there.
There is a retractable door at the back door, but let alone defending against monsters, even an ordinary person can destroy it in a short time.
The house of several people was not far from the back door. Qiu Yu checked it when he went out and immediately gave up the plan of reinforcing or completely sealing off the place. Although it is not as wide as the front door, it is definitely not a project that a few people can complete in a short time.
When he left the villa area and stood on the empty street, he had a better view than when he looked out the window, so Qiu Yu had to sigh again at the cleanliness here.
It’s not that there’s no rubbish on the street, but there’s nothing usable at all. Judging from the traffic lights at the intersection in the distance, this is not a pedestrian street. But looking far away, not to mention all kinds of motor vehicles, not even a single non-motor vehicle can be seen. This means that if Qiuyu wants to move around this exaggeratedly large city, he can only rely on two legs.
Just now, Ivan and Mattli were muttering about preparing a car and driving out as a last resort, but now when they saw this scene, their faces turned pale. No matter what kind of monster is about to appear, they don't have the confidence to compete with them anyway.
Of course, it's not just the streets that are clean. Every shop a few people entered was equally chillingly clean. There is still a faint scent of butter in the cake shop, but there is not even a trace of flour left. Various colorful cardboard boxes are neatly stacked in the grocery store, but unfortunately they are all empty. There are still a lot of clothes in the clothing store, but there are still a lot of clothes in the house where several people live, so there is no need to move them. The items in hardware stores and electrical appliance stores are basically full because they are heavy and difficult to carry. Qiu Yu unfolded the sheets and packed a lot of nails, screws, hammers and the like. Then he put the nearly 100 kilogram package here, picked up a shovel, and led the two of them farther away.
Along the way, we encountered several shops with locked doors. Mattli wanted to pry it open and go in, but Qiuyu only needed to scan it with the spread of perception to know that it was empty inside. After several attempts to stop him, Martelli allowed him to pry open one. After seeing the empty interior, the only expressions Mattli and Ivan could show were wry smiles.
It wasn't until after walking around the whole street that I found a convenience store in an alley with some items left. But there is no need to count on food and most daily necessities. Qiu Yu, however, was like a rag collector, shouting that he was lucky, and at the same time he collected a lot of plastic bags, candles, batteries and other things.
Ivan looked at Qiu Yu in confusion, "I can still understand things like candle batteries, but what are you doing with so many plastic bags?"
"You don't want our house to stink if the water goes out, do you?"
Just as Ivan was about to ask, he suddenly thought of the answer, and a disgusted expression appeared on his face.
Mattli was surprised by Qiu Yu's delicate thoughts, "Have you experienced this before?"
"First time." It was indeed the first time for Qiu Yu to experience a similar game.
Mattli just asked casually, and his attention quickly shifted to more important places, "I haven't found anything to eat after walking for so long. It seems that there is no hope in the shops on the street. I have to go to a more remote place." Or in a private residence?"
Qiu Yu shook his head, "No need. Although there will be gains, there are also risks. We will go back after cleaning up here."
Ivan shouted, "But we haven't found enough food yet, no, we haven't found it at all. If we are trapped, won't we have to starve to death?"
"We still don't know what the monster looks like now. After seeing it, it's not completely impossible to search for it. Besides..." Qiu Yu suddenly opened a shelf against the wall, and behind the shelf was A secret space over one meter wide and three to four meters long, filled with things, "There should be enough things here."
"God, I must be dreaming." Ivan screamed and rushed in.
"You know so much that there is a secret room?" Qiu Yu's behavior time and time again made Matli's surprise reach the limit.
"This is not a secret room. It's just a space that is difficult to deal with and has been converted into a warehouse. You can find it if you pay attention."
Yes, as Qiu Yu said, you can find it if you pay attention. And this level of attention is due to the amazing sense of space. After visiting the store adjacent to the convenience store and excluding the influence of decoration and shelves, it was discovered through comparison that the width here is about one meter less. Or you may be very sensitive to differences in color or material and can detect subtle differences between the white backboard of the shelf and the wall. Therefore, if we compare this hidden spot to the benefits given to a small number of careful players in the game, this small amount is definitely less than one percent.
But Qiu Yu has the cheating ability of sensing spread, so he doesn't have to bother at all. He already discovered this place when he entered the store. Qiu Yu's attention is just that he often activates the spread of perception.
It was impossible for Mattli to think about the truth of the matter in terms of super powers, so he could only accept Qiu Yu's statement.
The secret warehouse has a lot of stuff, but only a few convenience foods and snacks. In terms of weight, it is equivalent to a person's full load. After Ivan was carried on his back, Qiuyu and Matli brought along all the imported items such as cigarettes, candies, and drinks in order not to be empty-handed.
Although Qiu Yu did not exchange for strength enhancement, physical enhancement and strength enhancement have a lot in common, and after all, it is still MAX level, and it also has a lot of bonuses to strength. It doesn't feel heavy at all when carrying dozens of kilograms of stuff in my hand. So under the surprised eyes of the two of them, they added a lot of wine in glass bottles, newspapers and magazines, etc., until they weighed more than two hundred kilograms. They stopped when they felt it was a bit laborious.
Returning to the hardware store just now, Qiu Yu added nearly a hundred pounds of weight. If Qiu Yu hadn't been panting under the pressure of more than 300 kilograms of weight, the two of them would have thought they had met Superman. No, being able to carry so many things and walk several hundred meters is already in the superhuman category. However, this superhuman category is not so exaggerated as to be unbelievable. It is somewhat intertwined with ordinary.
As soon as the things were put down in the house, Qiu Yu started to move again, "Let's go and tear down some boards and come back."
"Remove the planks?" Mattli tried his best to suppress his breathing so as not to appear more tired than Qiu Yu.
"Yes, we need to reinforce the doors and windows."
Now that Qiu Yu, who had worked the hardest, had spoken, Matli and Ivan were too embarrassed to complain about being tired, so they had no choice but to follow Qiu Yu out again.
The wooden boards were not ready-made, and many of them removed from the store's counters and shelves were judged by Qiu Yu to be unusable. Therefore, it was not until four or five o'clock in the afternoon that Qiu Yu was satisfied with the amount. But there was not much time left until dark. The group made several trips to transport the collected wooden boards back, but was stopped by Qiu Yu.
"It cannot be ruled out that the monster is intelligent. Rather than a complete defense, we need to create the illusion that this is an empty house with no one around. So we left the first floor as it is and left a curtain on which one can see inside. The basement seems to be the safest, but the environment is too humid and depressing. Living there for a long time will put a great burden on the spirit. It can only be used as an emergency or final refuge. What we need to do first is to move the upper two The stairs of the first floor were removed and blocked, leaving only a small opening just big enough for us to pass through. We used the telescopic escalator found in the storage room to go up and down. Then what needed to be reinforced were the balcony doors and windows on the second and third floors. Nail boards. The curtains should be nailed together so that when viewed from the outside, the curtains will appear to be closed normally. In addition, do a shading test on the curtains. If they cannot completely block the light, add a layer of something to avoid being blinded at night. The light shines through. If there are not enough things, you can stick a few more layers of books instead of carpets. We cannot rule out that the monster is auditory. Before the characteristics of the monster are clear, in order to reduce noise, our range of activities is limited to areas with carpets."
Inoue had completed the task of stocking drinking water, and when he was getting a hammer and planning to participate in the reinforcement work, Qiu Yu handed him two bottles of air freshener, "I don't rule out that the monster will be a olfactory type. You go around every house." Spray some. It will get rid of the smell without making our place look special. Plan on using it, just these two bottles."
After arranging tasks for others, Qiu Yu went out again.
Facing the unknown, Qiu Yu will always make as many responses as possible.
If everything just now was to prepare for survival in the house, then this time it is necessary to prepare for the collapse of the house. The surrounding terrain, the building must be taken into account. Escape routes corresponding to various enemies must also be planned one by one.
To deal with flying enemies, you need to choose a route that has as narrow a space as possible and always has cover above your head.
To deal with large enemies, you need to choose a narrow route with complex terrain.
To cope with the dense number of enemies, a route with high and low height differences and diverse terrain is required.
To deal with complex characteristics, we must also consider the flexible combination and conversion of each route.
For Qiuyu, he only needs to look at a building, a house, a sewer, or an intersection to know how to maximize the escape function here. But the problem lies in their extension. Even if there is sensory spread, with a diameter of only 40 meters, it is difficult to grasp such a wide area in a short time, and it is impossible to "draw" the escape route endlessly, so Qiuyu's solution is to deal with it The escape routes of various enemies are woven into a web with a diameter of one kilometer. In this network, more than a dozen suitable shelters have been selected.
Although by Qiu Yu's standards, I don't think this is very safe. But this is a long-term game, and it does not have to be absolutely safe. As long as it is safer than the vast majority of players, you can basically be sure that you will not quit in the early stages of the game. Otherwise, if you still die even after preparing like this, then what's the point of asking all the players of the Tower of Civilization to participate? It's better to just let Li Ningfeng, Jiuwei and a few elites play with it.
After completing the planned plan, even dusk was almost over. Because there is still electricity, the street lights on the street light up one after another, giving this silent city a bit more life.
Qiu Yu found a room in the tallest building nearby, took the elevator to the top floor and looked far into the distance, and then discovered a striking dark place amidst the brilliant lights.
Returning to the street, after a brief hesitation, Qiu Yu ran towards the dark direction.
