Devil's Playground

Chapter 19 Strange Island

As soon as the voice of the servant on No. 18 disappeared, there were three wooden doors in the originally closed room. When they were all opened, only one door led to the outside, and the other two doors were connected to the other two rooms of the wooden house. There are two bunk beds in each room.

Lily immediately shouted: "Men left and women right, the house on the right belongs to me, you live on the left!"

Conch rolled his eyes, but didn't raise any doubts.

Lin Yu ignored the room allocation, walked back to the round table called "Transportation Platform" by No. 18, and opened a leather bag on the table.

There are three things in the leather bag: a metal box that looks like a cigarette case, a tube that looks like a needleless syringe, and a small thing that looks like a digital camera.

Lin Yu just picked it up

, then turned his head and said to the other four people: "I'll talk about other things later, come here first and divide up the most important things."

Yang Jin had been sitting at the table, and when he heard Lin Yu's greeting, he reached out and picked up the leather bag in front of him.

When he opened it, he found that the contents were the same as Lin Yu's leather bag. Yang Jin called up the light screen of the memory, found out how to use the detector, and compared it with the three instruments in the bag.

Something much like a digital camera is a camera, only more advanced, and records three-dimensional images instead of flat images.The needle tube is not used for injection, but for the reverse extraction of stem cells from the living body.The humble metal box is the most important detector, which is used to detect the extracted stem cells and draw the genetic map of the organism.

"The results of this illustration task can be shared. What are your plans, do your own thing, or work together?" Lin Yu put away the leather bag with the tester and asked, looking up.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If we can't even share such a small task, why are we cooperating?" Conch rolled her eyes.

Seeing that other people also had the same attitude, Lin Yu nodded and asked the four people to "share the results".

The other four naturally all agreed.

After putting away these detectors, none of the five people was in a hurry to use them, and checked the wooden house again. Seeing that there was really nothing to pay attention to, they went outside together.

There is a dense forest outside, but the surrounding plants make Yang Jin and others feel strange.Although the leaves of these plants are also green, their shapes and appearances are strange and strange, and they are also bigger than the other. A random vine leaf is the size of a face, which makes people feel that they have entered the kingdom of giants by mistake. .

There is still a light green light curtain covering the outside of the wooden house. Just as Yang Jin followed everyone to the edge of the light curtain, a system prompt came from his ear, "Attention: You are about to leave the safe area."

"Is there still a safe zone?" Conch's voice followed.

"That is to say, I can sleep well at night." Lily muttered, "But what about eating, I only brought a week's worth of lunch, and it won't last ten days at all!"

"I have nutritional capsules here, I can give you some." Lin Yu said.

"Oh, no!" Lily looked desperate.

Joe turned his head and asked, "How many nutritional capsules did you bring?"

"A box of new ones, 30 pills. There is also a box of leftovers, less than ten pills." Lin Yu replied.

"Not enough." Joe frowned. "Ten days is only the first phase of the task. If we want to continue with the second phase of the task, we might have to stay here for a month."

"There should be wild beasts here, right?" Conch said while observing the surroundings. "Catch one and roast it, and you can deal with it for a while."

"The fire is easy to handle, but do you have any seasonings for barbecue?" Lily asked with a pout, "meat is not something that can be eaten after roasting."

The conch choked immediately.

"I brought a little salt and thirteen incense sticks." Lin Yu continued, "But the most important thing right now is not food, but water—I don't think any of you have brought enough fresh water for ten days?"

"I only brought ten bottles of potion." Lily said gloomily, "Speaking of which, do you know how to find water sources?"

"I'll take care of the water." Joe interrupted their complaints, "Let's separate for the time being, Conch and I will go find the water source, the three of you stay here, first test the surrounding plants, and try the illustrated book to the end How to fill it."

"Is it just the two of you?" Lily asked.

"This is just a green-level playground, with limited danger." Joe waved his hand.

Seeing Joe's insistence, Lily shrugged and said no more.

After assigning the task, Joe left the light curtain with the conch and went into the dense jungle.

Lin Yu was not idle either. He took out a set of detectors in his purse, selected a plant outside the light curtain, and first recorded it with a [-]D camera. Then he took out a needle-shaped extractor and inserted it into the The stem of this plant.

Neither Yang Jin nor Lili intervened, and stood behind to watch the fun.

"By the way, do plants have stem cells?" Lily asked suddenly, "I remember seeing it somewhere—yes, stem cell beauty was popular for a while, and then someone came out to refute the rumors, saying that plant stem cells can beautify the body. It is a commercial scam, there is no such thing as plant stem cells in biology.”

"Stem cell beauty is indeed a scam, but it is also inaccurate to say that plants do not have stem cells." Before Lin Yu finished speaking, the extractor in his hand issued a reminder that the collection was completed.Lin Yu immediately pulled out the extractor, glanced at the transparent jelly that was sucked into the needle, and continued: "However, the stem cells mentioned in the task may not be the stem cells we know, it is probably just for us to understand. A far-fetched noun."

After speaking, Lin Yu handed the extractor to his right hand, opened the lid of the tester with his left hand, injected the jelly in the extractor, and then closed the lid again.

"It will take a few minutes for the test to be completed." Lin Yu glanced at the empty extractor, "The extractor also needs a few minutes to automatically clean up to eliminate the residual extract."

"It's not just one extractor, change it to mine!" Lily took out her leather bag, found a plant that looked completely different, and repeated what Lin Yu had just done.

Yang Jin followed suit and completed the inspection of the third plant.

More than two hours later, Joe and Conch rushed back, bringing back the news that there was a spring not far away, but they didn't rush back immediately because they wanted to observe the surrounding environment.

"The animals here are weird, they are all different, and they are too big!" Conch told excitedly about what he had seen along the way, "There is one whose back looks like a giraffe, but turns its head like a leopard's face; It’s about the same size and looks like a wild boar, with a very big nose, and it’s upturned, it’s really upturned!”

"You didn't care about looking at new things and forgot to grab a few stuffed illustrations, did you?" Lily raised her eyebrows and asked.

The three remaining people have been busy identifying the surrounding creatures and filling in the illustration book. After two hours, more than 20 kinds have been entered.In addition to a dozen or so plants, there were several kinds of bugs, and a bird much like a hummingbird.Every time an entry is completed, the illustrated book will issue a quantity reminder, so Lily and the others know very clearly that the more than 20 types of creatures currently entered are all found by them, and Joe and Conch did nothing at all, "concentrating" on finding water up.

"Joe didn't want to act rashly and provoke those animals!" Conch pushed the blame away.

"In addition to animals and plants!"

"Plants can also be dangerous!"

"quibble!"

"So what about sophistry, are you biting me?"

Conch and Lily quarreled again, while Qiao and Lin Yu turned a deaf ear and came together on their own to exchange what they had seen and felt during the past two hours.

Yang Jin stood beside him without saying a word, his eyes fell on Lily and Conch who were not far away, but he was thinking about other things.

He still couldn't integrate into his new role and take the world as seriously as Lin Yu and the others.Whether it was the medieval-style filthy place before or the sci-fi-oriented strange island, it was like a boring virtual game to him, and he couldn't even generate any emotions, let alone the passion to do things seriously.

——He is here only because Lin Yu is here.

——But Lin Yu's thoughts were not with him.

Thinking of this, Yang Jin felt extremely depressed.He used to think that Lin Yu was a person who didn't eat hard and soft, and didn't eat oil and salt, but now, this feeling is even more profound.He had been with Lin Yu for three days, but Lin Yu's attitude towards him was the same as in the game field. It couldn't be said that it was bad, but it was not good enough, and it was not as good as Yang Jin wanted.

But Yang Jin himself couldn't tell exactly how he wanted Lin Yu to treat him, and he also knew very well that the environment they were in was not suitable for talking about love, and it was normal for Lin Yu not to have that kind of thought.

——Be afraid, Lin Yu is not so lukewarm because of the environment.

Yang Jin lowered his eyelids, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

When Yang Jin was distracted, Conch and Lili had stopped arguing, and came over to discuss the next move with Lin Yu.

After the previous two hours of experimentation, Lin Yu and the others have basically determined that the task of filling the illustrated book is to collect and hunt—to collect harmless creatures, and to hunt and kill creatures that resist.Only images and genes are used to fill the illustrated book, and the detector does not care about the life and integrity of the detected object.

Joe also observed the surrounding creatures in the process of searching for water sources.Although he didn't allow the conch to hunt in order not to cause trouble, but as far as he could see, although the surrounding creatures were big and strange in appearance, there were very few aggressive ones, and the danger was not high.

"The most worrying thing right now is how big this island is." Joe said, "You have filled more than 20 kinds of creatures, but the progress of the task is less than 1%, which means that the creatures on this island are probably around [-]. more than one species, and we have to find at least half of them, nearly a thousand..."

"Wait, let me do the math!" Lily raised her hand and interrupted, "One DNA test takes 5 to 10 minutes, which means that each person can only test 6 to 12 times per hour, and five people are 30 to 60 times , use a thousand to remove..."

"17, 33." Lin Yu gave the answer directly, "We also need to count the search, hunting, and the time for us to eat and rest in the middle. It is impossible to detect one by one."

"How about we go out to search during the day, catch new creatures that haven't been tested and bring them back to the cabin, and test them together at night?" Conch suggested.

"Is your memory empty?" Lin Yu asked back.

"Mine is quite empty." Conch shrugged.

"Mine too." Yang Jin followed suit and raised his hand.

"That's it, first use the camera to record, and then capture." Joe made a final decision.
