After obtaining the crossbow blueprint, Zhang Tuohai went to the manufacturing interface.
"Crossbow blueprint and lightweight tire blueprint have been detected. All resources for manufacturing have been collected. Do you wish to manufacture?"
"I wish to manufacture."
The two blueprints transformed into a liquid and disappeared, and most of the resources that were thrown on the back seat were gone too. After a while, four tires and a small crossbow appeared in front of Zhang Tuohai.
[lightweight tire: Level 1 vehicle accessory, can reduce fuel consumption by 30%.]
How do I install these things?
Do I have to install them on the car by myself?
But I don't have a wrench or a jack. How could I do it?
Just when Zhang Tuohai was at a loss on how to proceed, the game system replied with a prompt.
[Level 1 accessory lightweight tire has been detected. Do you wish to replace the existing ordinary tire?]
Can it be completed with the assistance of the system?
"Yes."
The four tires disappeared, and the car shook.
[The tires have been replaced.]
"It's really easy." Zhang Tuohai had a good impression of the game system for the first time.
[Found 4 ordinary tires. Do you want to decompose them into resources? They can be decomposed into 20 low-grade rubber, 20 metal fragments, and 16 metal parts]
"Don't decompose them yet." Looking at the four tires on the back seat of the car, Zhang Tuohai hesitated and choose to not decompose them.
Tires may become useful in the future, so it's better to leave them like this for now.
After dealing with the tires, Zhang Tuohai stared at the crossbow placed on the co-pilot seat.
The crossbow was only half a foot long, with a gun-like handle underneath and a trigger, it could be easily used with one hand.
Next to it was a pure leather quiver, containing ten crossbow arrows glimmering in a cold light.
Zhang Tuohai picked up the crossbow, played with it for a while, and became familiar with how to use it.
It was a pity that there were no good targets around, so it was impossible to measure the strength of the crossbow.
However, judging from the strength of the bowstring, it would be no problem to kill a chicken within 50 meters.
After playing with the crossbow for a while, the outside became completely dark.
The dark sky covered the earth like a black pot lid, with only a few sparse stars scattered in the sky, casting a little light.
Sitting in the car, Zhang Tuohai felt colder and colder, his hands and feet were cold, and he started to shiver.
"This damn place is so hot during the day, why did it become so cold at night?" Zhang Tuohai hurriedly took out his coat from the back seat and put it on.
After putting on the coat, Zhang Tuohai felt much warmer.
Turning on the regional channel, he found that they were indeed discussing the sudden change in weather.
"Damn it, why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
"This is a desert, the sand dissipates heat quickly, isn't it common sense that it's hot during the day and cold at night?"
"But the temperature is too low, isn't it? It's only 15 degrees now, and it feels like it's still dropping. I estimate it will drop below 10 degrees at night."
"Below 10 degrees, I came here in shorts, am I going to freeze to death?"
"Does anyone have a lighter to lend me? I'll find some wood and light a bonfire."
"Woo, woo, woo, I'm so cold, who has a cotton coat? I'm willing to exchange it with bread."
After watching the noisy regional channel for a while, Zhang Tuohai closed the channel, tightened his coat, and fell asleep.
It's not that he was indifferent, but there were too many people suffering, even if he wanted to take care of them, he couldn't.
All he could do was collect more supplies tomorrow and see if he could sell anything.
Without a word all night, early the next morning, just as the sky began to lighten, Zhang Tuo Hai woke up.
Before crossing, his family made soy products, and getting up in the early morning to deliver goods was a common occurrence.
As usual, he opened the regional channel and took a look.
The regional channel was very quiet, and most people should still be asleep at this time. Only six red death notices were hanging on the channel.
Three people died of hypothermia, one died of poisoning, and two died in car accidents.
At this time, the number of people in the regional channel had dropped to 2706.
Zhang Tuohai sighed, took out the remaining bucket of instant noodles, sprinkled half a bag of seasoning left over from yesterday, and as for his bucket of seasoning, Zhang Tuohai planned to keep it and use it to make soup when he found a pot later.
After a night, about 800 ml of water had accumulated in the water collector, which was barely enough for him to drink for the day.
"I hope I can have good luck today." Zhang Tuohai took a sip of water, turned the key, and set out on the road to search for supplies.
After the car drove out for 20 kilometers, Zhang Tuohai actually found two boxes at the same time.
One white and one blue.
[There are 5 baked naan, 5 cans of yellow croaker, and 5 liters of mineral water in the white supply box.]
[In the blue supply box, a healthy young black pig is weighing 100 jin. Please treat it with care. If you need to deal with it, please go around the back of the box to get the first chance to attack.]
A young black pig!
Seeing the prompt, Zhang Tuohai instantly became energetic.
He didn't dare to deal with an adult pig for the time being, but he still dared to try a young pig weighing more than 100 jin.
Moreover, he now has two major weapons, a crossbow, and a crowbar, so it was not a problem to deal with a young pig weighing only 100 jin.
At worst, he would just drive his car and hit the other party to death.
Zhang Tuohai was eager to try.
To be safe, Zhang Tuohai first pried open the white supply box.
Five steaming baked naan appeared in front of Zhang Tuohai instantly.
Zhang Tuohai weighed them and found that the baked naan was quite heavy, weighing one pound, which was almost enough for him to eat. Moreover, it was sprinkled with sesame seeds, and he started to drool just by smelling it.
It would be even better if he had a bowl of mutton soup.
Zhang Tuohai carefully put away the baked naan, which would become his staple food for the next two days.
The five cans of yellow croaker made Zhang Tuohai even more delighted.
These cans could provide him with a lot of oil and salt, playing an important role in maintaining physical strength.
Zhang Tuohai carefully hid the five canned fish under the seat.
After handling everything, Zhang Tuohai followed the system prompts and came to the back of the blue supply box, holding a crossbow in one hand and a crowbar in the other, looking ready for battle.
Inserting the crowbar into the gap of the supply box, Zhang Tuohai took a deep breath and pressed it down suddenly. With a bang, the supply box disappeared, and a small black pig weighing no more than 100 pounds appeared on the road.
The little black pig looked at the empty road blankly and seemed to have not yet reacted to what was happening.
Seeing this, Zhang Tuohai did not dare to be neglectful and immediately aimed the crossbow at the back of the little black pig's neck.
Just as Zhang Tuohai was about to pull the trigger, the electronic synthesized sound of the hint system suddenly sounded again.
[Aim the crossbow one inch to the left.]
Zhang Tuohai was startled by the sudden hint sound, and subconsciously moved the crossbow to the left and pulled the trigger.
The crossbow arrow shot towards the little black pig's ear.
"What a pity!"
Seeing that the crossbow arrow missed, Zhang Tuohai threw the crossbow, grabbed the crowbar with both hands and prepared to rush up and give the pig a hard blow.
However, coincidentally, the little black pig seemed to hear the sound behind him, and subconsciously turned half of his body and looked back.
This turn didn't matter, the crossbow arrow instantly shot into the little black pig's eye socket.
Puff!
The crossbow arrow pierced the little black pig's eyes and went all the way into its brain before stopping.
The little black pig fell to the ground and thrashed a few times before dying.
