Chapter 17: The Eastern Horizon
The Live Stream Room opened again at one in the afternoon.
The barrage was dense, and a considerable portion of it was discussing the buns:
“I have to say, the mushroom and bok choy buns from that bun shop are really delicious.”
“Yeah, the taste is especially delicious, I almost swallowed my tongue.”
“Thirty years of life, the first time I’ve eaten such delicious buns, it’s even more delicious than abalone.”
“The other buns in the shop are also good, all above standard, I really envy the students nearby.”
“Haha, I live nearby, I’ve eaten Hu Hu’s buns for seven or eight years.”
“Damn, you lucky ones just show off, I lined up for half an hour, but I didn’t manage to buy any!”
“Can’t buy them, can’t buy them at all, there are too many people, I can’t even squeeze in.”
“I drove from the neighboring city, it was only past eleven in the morning, and the shop was already closed! Do you have to snatch them so quickly? Can you leave some for the latecomers?”
“Speaking of snatching buns, the steamer was almost snatched away, I almost died laughing at the time.”
“Don’t mention it, I’m still thinking about what to do with this steamer in the future, can’t I also sell buns in the future?”
“Ah ah ah, I’m in Modu, I can’t get there at all! I’m offering a thousand yuan, asking for a Mushroom and Bok Choy Bun!”
“I’m in Jiang City’s Huayang Road, I still have twenty-two Mushroom and Bok Choy Buns, support the bun shop to verify on the spot, first come, first served.”
“Bro, I’ll take them all, this is my QQ number 3628XXXXXX”
“You take your sister! Leave me two, one for a hundred!”
“Old friend, I’m on Huayang Road right now, give me a secret code, I’ll go over right away.”
“Brother, brother, can I trade five buns for you?”
“Damn! What famine?”
……
In the dense barrage like rain, an ordinary barrage drifted by:
“My parents told me about the bun shop, and told me not to worry about the medical expenses, thank you Brother Qi Xuan.”
……
“I’m awake! Finally awake!”
Qi Xuan, who knew nothing about the outside world, slowly crawled out of the sand pit in the shade.
Seeing him suddenly enter the screen, the netizens in the Live Stream Room were all shocked:
“Damn, I almost thought he was a zombie.”
“You picked a good place!”
“Sleep is sleep, what do you mean by digging a hole in the ground?”
“Just based on your hole-digging skills, come out and do funeral work with me!”
“Are you still missing someone to play the suona? I’m a suona level eight, just retired from the girl band.”
“The one above, do you have a double personality teammate?”
……
Yawning, and then moving his shoulders, Qi Xuan casually patted off the sand on his body, and said to the camera:
“After the morning Live Stream, I walked for more than an hour, so you can’t see the shadow of the Twin-Born Tree at all now.
But unfortunately, even after walking for more than an hour, I still couldn’t get out of this Gravel Ground.
I decided to continue exploring forward in the next Live Stream, if I still can’t get out by the end of the Live Stream, then I will choose to return the way I came.
I must return to my Settlement before nightfall, unless I can find a suitable location to establish a new Settlement, otherwise I would rather make the exploration process longer.”
Holding a cautious attitude, Qi Xuan continued to explore forward.
Although the Live Stream Room welcomes a more radical and avant-garde style, and the audience also loves to watch exciting and adventurous plots, but in comparison, it is still more important to save one’s life.
This world does exist terrifying Monsters like the Octopus monster.
Even if I earn less popularity, I can’t lose myself.
After walking not far, Qi Xuan suddenly pointed to a place of Quicksand and said:
“Have you all seen it? This place looks very solid, but in fact the bottom is empty, if you’re not careful, you’ll fall into the mountain gap.”
Saying that, he walked to the side, picked up a stone the size of a human head, and threw it over there.
The stone hit the Quicksand, just like hitting the water, and instantly disappeared.
Along with the nearby Quicksand were affected by the stone, and they flowed in.
Soon, only a black crack was left in place, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance.
Seeing this scene, netizens from all over the place were all shocked:
“I’m so f*cking, this is killing without blood.”
“Such a big crack, one swallows one without a sound.”
“I thought it was just ordinary Gravel Ground, I didn’t expect it to be so dangerous!”
“The Floating Continent is indeed not a place for ordinary people to stay, if I go in, I might not even live for a day.”
“Da Qian’s little brother, come on, don’t lose to the Floating Continent!”
“What’s going on, it’s burning up?”
……
Qi Xuan continued to move forward, sometimes pulling out some Bugs and wild vegetables from the Gravel Ground to eat.
But most of the time, there weren’t even Bugs and wild vegetables, the surroundings were very desolate, and the journey was even more boring, like a traveler walking in the desert.
In order to pass the time, Qi Xuan simply chatted with the netizens in the Live Stream Room.
It’s said to be chatting, but it’s more like talking to himself:
“To be honest, I now have considerable doubts about whether I can find the local Native in a short period of time, mainly because for such a long time, let alone the Native, I haven’t even seen any traces of human activity.
And more importantly, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, in my activity range these past few days, I’ve hardly encountered any decent Wild Beast.
Generally speaking, even in the Forest, rabbits, chickens, and wild boars should be relatively common, but I haven’t encountered any of them.
According to my inference, there should be two possibilities, either there is some kind of large Ferocious beast living nearby, which has directly destroyed those small animals, or the area is simply a dead end that is not suitable for small animals to survive.
No matter which possibility, if there are no small animals nearby, then humans should be even rarer, at least the hunters who often enter and exit the Dense forest will not specifically run to this place, so it is understandable that it is difficult to encounter the local Native.”
“In fact, compared to encountering the local Native, I want to see other Body Transmigration people more, don’t get me wrong, the Body Transmigration people here refer to the survivors like me.
In online novels, those who Body Transmigration like me, generally called Body Transmigration, and Body Transmigration often have a group of people Body Transmigration at the same time, for example, have you heard of the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin? The coffin is filled with a group of people who Body Transmigration at the same time.
So, I’m very suspicious, did I Body Transmigration alone, or did the whole plane Body Transmigration?
Looking back, when I encountered the Plane Crash, there were actually two other planes nearby, one Airbus didn’t know what happened, and it disintegrated in the air on the spot, and the other Boeing crashed into a Thunderstorm, and it directly exploded into fireworks.
Later, the plane I was on also crashed into a Thunderstorm, I don’t know what happened, because I had already passed out at the time, and when I woke up again, I was already in the Forest.
So you see, it’s possible for a whole plane to Body Transmigration, maybe because this plane is a Da Qian-made domestic plane, it has some kind of mysterious Body Transmigration factor that comes with the East, and then I landed here safely.
That is, the range I’m exploring now is not wide enough, when I’ve visited all around, maybe one day I’ll suddenly see a plane wreckage, and a survival camp built around the plane wreckage, that would be great……”
Qi Xuan babbled all the way, his mouth never stopped, but he became more and more excited.
However, when the Live Stream was about to end in the afternoon, he had to shut up.
Because the road ahead was cut off.
He had reached the end of the Gravel Ground, in front of a Cliff that was like a sharp blade.
But this time the height difference was not the six or seven meters before the last Cliff, he didn’t even know how big the height difference was.
Because hundreds of meters below the Cliff was a dense Mist, which extended to the distant distance.
It feels like being on a solitary peak, surrounded by a sea of clouds.
The netizens saw this scene, and they were all shocked:
“Damn, is the Streamer in the sky?”
“It’s definitely not in the sky, but it’s undoubtedly at a higher altitude.”
“Laughing to death, this continent is floating in the Pacific Ocean, the lowest altitude is more than ten thousand meters.”
“Do you think the Streamer is now on the edge of the Floating Continent? If you jump down, you’ll be in the Pacific Ocean?”
“That’s definitely not the case, the Mist below looks like a sea of clouds, but it’s not clouds at all, and the Floating Continent has a barrier to protect it, if it can be jumped out so easily, the Various countries’ Exploration team would have gone in long ago.”
“If nothing unexpected happens, the Streamer should have landed in a place with a higher Terrain on the Floating Continent, just like the plateau on Blue Star.”
“That makes some sense, the plane crashed, it must first come into contact with a place with a higher Terrain.”
“Could it be that the Streamer’s companions are also near the Forest?”
“I’m more inclined to think that they have all died, the survival rate of a Plane Crash is originally low, and the Streamer is likely to be the only lucky one.”
“If he is really the only one alive, I don’t know whether it’s fortunate or unfortunate.”
……
Qi Xuan couldn’t see the discussions of the netizens.
In his eyes, there was only the boundless Mist.
At this moment, besides the boundless loneliness, he only felt an indescribable absurdity—
How do I get down?
Climbing?
How long will it take to climb?
Rope descent?
What kind of rope can descend so high?
Wingsuit flying?
Or let me crash to death.
……
Thinking of all kinds of methods, I feel that they are not very reliable.
Especially in the dense cloud below, there seems to be a huge living thing, which makes people even more apprehensive.
Qi Xuan said to the Live Stream Room with a feeling of sorrow:
“Suan Niao Suan Niao, let’s end today’s Live Stream here, let’s stop the exploration to the east for now, and go to the North tomorrow, I don’t believe that all directions are blocked, it’s just a small Forest, can’t I get out?”
After closing the Live Stream, Qi Xuan didn’t leave immediately, but sat down cross-legged in front of the Cliff.
How to say it, this place feels quite suitable for Lottery.
He had a premonition that he could win a big prize today.
