Seeing the chat interface, Avril sent over the information about the area chunks.
Chris thought about it.
When he had just entered the Survival Game, the system had already introduced that the players who entered the game were divided into different regions.
He had thought that it was the Survival Game that had dropped them randomly onto a huge continent and then divided the 1000 people nearby into a small region.
He didn't realise that it wasn't like that.
The Survival System created different mini-maps, and a mini-map would represent a region, with each mini region holding a maximum of 1,000 Survivalists.
After thoroughly understanding the Survival System's divisions, he secretly nodded.
There were advantages and disadvantages to such a division.
The biggest disadvantage was that there was no way to establish a large city-state, meaning that humans would always be scattered and could only work alone.
After all, even if all the survivors in the region were united, there would only be 1,000 people, not even as good as some of the more populous villages.
What's more, as the natural disaster descended, there were fewer and fewer survivors in the small region, and the strength of the various teams would definitely become lower and lower.
However, there was a benefit to this approach of the system.
1,000 people in each small area would allow every casualty to get enough development without having to form a team.
For now, the pros outweighed the cons for Chris.
"Do you know which region is drawn on the treasure map is there a different number between each region, and how can you recognise exactly which region you are in."
After thinking about the Survival System's regions, he used his consciousness to send a question to Avril.
Seeing the message he sent over, Avril realised that the opposite party really didn't know anything about this aspect of information, so he continued typing to explain.
"So far, there's no such thing as an area number, and there's no way for the various areas to be labelled, and we're not sure which area the address on the treasure map is in."
"So, you really have to rely on luck if you want to purchase information."
This treasure map, Ai Wei Er had already marketed it to many people, but it was a great pity that none of them were willing to buy it.
This time, she had also marketed it to Chris because Avril thought that Chris might have more resources and be richer, and might possibly buy it.
But, when she sent this paragraph out, she was dead in her mind about Chris buying the treasure map.
After all, 50ml of Spiritual Energy Water was not a small amount of money, and there was absolutely no way that someone would use it to purchase a treasure map that was most likely a scrap of paper.
The reason why she had to type an explanation for him was because Avril felt that Chris, as a top survivor, might be helpful to the Green Luan Sanctuary in the future, so she was sending out a favour.
But, on the other side, after listening to Avril's explanation, Chris didn't discount the purchase in his mind and knocked down a few words.
"10ml of Spiritual Energy Water, trade immediately if you can accept it."
This 10ml of Spiritual Energy Water was purely as a repayment of the other party's favour for informing him of the information.
Avril was visibly stunned when she saw his reply, and soon a surprised smile appeared on her face.
This treasure map had gone unnoticed at first, and she had even thought that it would be a success if she could trade for ten units of wood.
It was in was not expected to be able to trade for 10ml of Spiritual Energy Water, a whole 10ml of Spiritual Energy Water!
Avril knew how precious a resource Spiritual Energy Water was.
One of Jimmy's design drawings could only be traded for 100ml of spiritual energy water, while a treasure map traded for 10ml of spiritual energy water in her own hands.
This was a very large performance!
She was incomparably excited!
"Thank you, Sir Chris!"
While tapping the words, Avril sent a private transaction towards Chris.
"Trade item: worn-out treasure map (rare)"
"Required item: 10ml Spiritual Energy Water"
"Introduction: none"
Chris was very calm inside when he saw the other party's excited tone.
Spiritual Energy Water might seem incomparably rare to outsiders, with exceptionally magical effects, but he held a large amount of it in his hands.
A mere 10ml was simply a drop in the ocean.
This 10ml of Spiritual Energy Water was meant to return the favour of informing the opposite party of the information. He himself didn't even have any expectations for the treasure map at all.
After taking out the 10ml of Spiritual Energy Water from the warehouse and choosing to accept the deal, the Spiritual Energy Water in his hand disappeared.
In its place was a piece of parchment.
The parchment was already very old, with hairy jagged teeth broken out on the rolled up edges, and the colour had become deep yellow.
Opening the treasure map, the centre of the map was clearly demarcated from the edges in colour.
The colour in the middle was still between dark yellow and light yellow, while the edge was already brown, and the paper had become unusually thin and fragile.
It was as if the paper would shatter into tiny scraps of paper if the force in his hand was one point greater.
Laying the treasure map flat on the wooden table, Chris scanned the content above.
Only at the first glance, Chris raised his eyebrows and sucked in a breath of cold air.
Can't be such a coincidence?
Looking at the content on the treasure map, Chris was slightly stunned.
Having personally drawn the drawings near the sanctuary, he already knew the terrain near the sanctuary like the back of his hand.
The terrain on the lower left corner of this treasure map was clearly indistinguishable from the terrain around his own refuge!
If the map was worn out and there was no more terrain nearby on the top of the shelter drawings that he had handed over.
Chris really suspected that this map was deliberately created by Avril to amuse herself.
However, it was better to use the system to identify it.
Chris faced the treasure map and called up the glowing blue system interface.
"Name: worn treasure map (rare)"
"Introduction: a very old treasure map, unknown from which secret realm it originated. The treasure recorded on it seems to be very rich."
It was true!
After seeing the introduction pop up from the system, he truly believed that the treasure map in front of him was a real treasure map.
Looking at the treasure map, the markings that were not too far away from him, Chris secretly nodded.
If one wanted to survive in the post-apocalyptic world, exploring the outside world was essential.
Staying in the shelter and only sitting around eating was completely unworkable.
It was just that his current strength was still too weak, and if he encountered a strong enemy, he wouldn't even have the means to defend himself.
The address on the treasure map was something he must go to, just not now.
If there were no accidents, tomorrow one's survival points would be able to repair the generator.
At that time, one would then repair the shelter and construct some defensive armour and weapons.
In a week's time at the latest, one would be able to embark on the adventure without any worries.
Chris carefully received the treasure map into the warehouse and used the scanning function in the Monster Atlas to scan the surroundings.
Instantly, several red dots appeared on the map.
Before the Lyrics hunt, he would repeat this action to arrange his hunting planning.
He was already not surprised by the red dots appearing around the refuge, as they were not all threatening targets.
Except for the time when they scanned three scavengers, most of the time the rest of the time they scanned very weak mutant creatures.
He clicked on the red dots at random, checking the information on the creatures.
Stoic Chick .... Stoic Chick ..... Stoic Chick ....
Mutant Coyote?
Suddenly, Chris's hand that was clicking on the red dot stopped.
In front of him, a creature he had never seen before appeared.
"Name: mutant coyote."
"Introduction: this is a Mutant Coyote that looks no different from an ordinary coyote, but don't let your guard down, his abilities can be a hundred times stronger than using a coyote!"
"Innate Skill: Crazy Bite: when the mutant coyote's life drops below fifty per cent, he will fall into an agonising berserker state, his biting ability rises by thirty per cent, and the bitten individual will be attached to a bleeding and serious injury effect."
"Weakness: copper head, iron arm, hemp pole waist, its waist is its greatest weakness, aim here and store up your strength for a heavy attack!"
Seeing the system's introduction, he couldn't help but frown.
Just by looking at the introduction alone, this Mutant Coyote was a lot stronger than the Mutant Silver Ring Snake he had fought before.
Chris didn't have any means that could kill the coyote in seconds right now, and if the two really had to fight, the only strategy he could think of was to have Max go up and pester the other party, while he released cold arrows from behind.
And such a strategy had a high risk factor.
Not to mention whether or not Max could really pester the Mutant Coyote.
If the Mutant Coyote's intelligence was slightly higher and bypassed Max, then he himself would not have the slightest power to fight back against the close-quartered Mutant Coyote.
Therefore, Chris looked at the Mutant Coyote on the map with a face full of nervousness, and set his mind on it.
If the Mutant Coyote was just passing by and would leave in a while, he would not engage in a battle with the Coyote.
And if the hyena delayed in leaving this place, then one had no choice but to step out of the shelter and risk a battle with the hyena.
Because, the coyote was an animal with a very strong sense of territory.
If they lingered in a place for a long time and refused to leave, there were only two scenarios.
Either this place had already been classified by the hyena as part of its territorial boundaries, or the hyena had found prey here and was preparing to hunt.
Either way, it would be harmful to him.
Therefore, if such a situation did arise, he could only choose to let go of the fight.
With his eyes firmly fixed on the red dot on the map, Chris's brows gradually tightened.
The red dot wasn't moving away from his refuge, instead, it was getting closer and closer.
Chris couldn't see the Mutant Coyote's stance on the map at the moment, and could only see a red dot that was constantly moving.
However, he already had a hidden guess in his heart.
It was very likely that when he went out yesterday and drew the topographical map near the shelter, he was seen by the mutant coyote, or left his scent behind.
That was why the mutant coyote had followed closely to the vicinity of the refuge.
He pulled out his compound bow from the warehouse and stroked Max's head.
It was a very dangerous showdown, but he had to fight.
In order to survive, in order to return to Earth one day.
Chris, was forced to fight.
