Chapter 4: Danger in the Box

As soon as this message was sent, the players immediately exploded.

Player 018754: "I've already left the spawn point, and you're only telling me now?!"

Pig Flying in the Sky: "Huh? Why didn't the game say it at the beginning? We just missed such an important Newbie Gift Box?"

Xiaoxin: "Oh my god, can I go back now? What's in the Newbie Gift Box?"

Li Dong: "Chen Leying, why are you only sending such important news now?"

Changshan Zhao Zilong: "Yeah, why are you only telling us now? You'll kill all of us! We've all left the spawn point now, and we can't go back on the highway, so how are we supposed to get the Newbie Gift Box? Are you intentionally telling us now, aren't you?"

Chen Leying: "I didn't, I just found out, and as soon as I did, I shared it with everyone. I didn't do it on purpose!"

Player 098742: "Heh heh, I think you intentionally sent it now. You must be very happy to see us miss the Newbie Gift Box, right? How can there be such a dark person like you?"

Wangluo Nanshen: "Chen Leying, go to hell! Go to hell, go to hell! It's all your fault, you bitch!"

The players vented all their anger over missing the Newbie Gift Box and their panic at being inexplicably pulled into a survival game onto Chen Leying, with all sorts of abusive language filling the chat area.

Of course, a very small number of players spoke up for Chen Leying, but their comments were quickly drowned out by the insults.

Looking at the chaotic chat area, Meng Qingyin frowned.

She secretly reminded herself that this was no longer the rule-of-law society it once was, and the various dark sides of human nature were already beginning to show.

Only by being a little harder-hearted could she survive.

And the outcome of being soft-hearted, Chen Leying was the best answer.

...

At this moment, a charming woman sat on a blue tricycle. She had exquisite makeup on her face, and looking at the abusive insults in the chat area, a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Idiots."

Sure enough, no matter when, the most untrustworthy thing was so-called human nature.

Look at those ugly faces, it's not surprising at all.

But it didn't matter, anyway, she didn't remind that group of idiots because her conscience had suddenly awakened.

Her conscience had long since been fed to the dogs.

It was merely a matter of mutual benefit.

She provided that group of idiots with an outlet for their anger, and she also received some "rewards."

How could it not be a win-win situation?

...

Meng Qingyin's eyes hurt from looking at the chat area, and just as she was about to close it, she sharply noticed a message.

Zhao Lan: "Everyone must be careful when opening supply boxes; there might be danger inside!"

However, the other players' insults quickly drowned out this message, and not many people noticed it.

Meng Qingyin immediately scrolled back and found that message.

Supply boxes could be dangerous?

What kind of danger could it be?

Meng Qingyin clicked on Zhao Lan's information.

【Name: Zhao Lan

ID: 029251

Constitution: 3

Strength: 3

Agility: 3

Comfort: Normal】

This person's attributes were higher than hers! But that wasn't the point.

Meng Qingyin initiated a private chat.

Meng Qingyin: "Hello, I just saw you say there might be danger in the supply boxes. May I ask what kind of danger it is?"

Zhao Lan directly sent a voice message: "There might be aggressive animals! The supply box I just opened had a venomous snake inside!"

If it weren't for her being a soldier with good physical fitness and quicker reactions than ordinary people, she might have actually been bitten by the venomous snake just now.

That was a cobra; if it bit her, she would definitely die a terrible death!

Thinking about it, Zhao Lan added: "You must be careful when opening boxes! Of course, I haven't heard anyone else mention this situation, which means it's not 100% dangerous."

As if afraid Meng Qingyin wouldn't believe her, she also sent a picture. The picture showed a snake with its head smashed to pieces, and there were mottled bloodstains on the surrounding sand.

It was clear that Zhao Lan and this cobra had just been through a fierce battle.

Meng Qingyin had a good idea now.

She opened her camouflage bag, rummaged through it, found a bag of compressed biscuit, and traded it to Zhao Lan.

Meng Qingyin: "Your information is very useful to me. This bag of compressed biscuit is for you, as my thanks."

She didn't want to have any human relations with others; that would be very troublesome.

Zhao Lan gave her information, she gave Zhao Lan a compressed biscuit; this "transaction" ended here, to avoid any confusion later.

Of course, she was not curious about Zhao Lan's "selfless" act of sharing information with others.

Everyone had their own way of doing things, whether kind or indifferent, it had nothing to do with her.

Zhao Lan sent a message: "Ah? I didn't want your stuff. We are all Chinese; at this time, we should unite and help each other, share information..."

However, her message seemed to fall on deaf ears, never receiving a reply.

Zhao Lan didn't bother Meng Qingyin anymore but continued to send messages in the world channel, hoping to save at least one more person.

And she wasn't alone; at least, there was also a player named Chen Leying who was selflessly sharing information.

As a soldier, the duty to protect the people had been ingrained in her bones. Even in this game, she no longer wore the military uniform that symbolized responsibility, but...

In her heart, she was still a soldier.

And a soldier's duty was always to protect the people.

Perhaps that Chen Leying was also a soldier, just like her.

...

Having received this news, Meng Qingyin dared not open boxes casually.

She remembered that she had many tools in her camouflage bag and immediately lowered her head to search for them.

Soon, she found a stun baton.

The stun baton felt like a baseball bat in her hand, having some weight but not being too heavy.

The length could also be adjusted. Meng Qingyin directly adjusted the length to the maximum, holding it in her hand, it was about half a meter long.

According to the boss, the maximum current of this stun baton could even stun a cow in one second!

This was enough.

She stood about 1 meter away from the box, extended the stun baton, and pried open the supply box.

Several seconds passed, and no cobra suddenly darted out.

Meng Qingyin tapped the edge of the supply box with the stun baton, making a banging sound, but there was still no movement.

Only then did she slowly approach the supply box and saw several supplies lying quietly inside.

【plastic x 2: Important material for upgrading vehicles, can also be used to make other plastic products. Automatically stored in system backpack.】

【tin sheet x 2: Important material for upgrading vehicles, can also be used to make other tin products. Automatically stored in system backpack.】

Not bad, the first supply box yielded materials for upgrading vehicles.

But...

There was also a system backpack?

Why didn't she see it just now?

Meng Qingyin looked at the light screen again and then noticed a double-shoulder backpack icon in the bottom right corner.

And when she looked just now, this icon wasn't there.

Perhaps it was only triggered after opening a supply box.

The backpack had five initial slots, and two were already occupied.

Meng Qingyin tried to put her camouflage bag inside; it was quite heavy to carry all the time.

【Nested behavior is prohibited! Please empty the bag before storing it!】

Meng Qingyin: "..."

Then she would just carry it.
