Chapter 527: Survival in the Mist 4
"Zhang Wei, your research is really interesting." Lin Qian sat by the campfire and listened carefully to Zhang Wei's story. "I think that understanding the characteristics of fog is crucial to our survival in this world."
Zhang Wei nodded: "Yes, I have been trying to find the weakness of the fog. If we can master the rules of the fog, maybe we can find a way to get rid of it."
Lin Qian's eyes lit up: "Have you made any new discoveries?"
Zhang Wei pondered for a moment and said, "I recently discovered that the fog seems to contain a special energy. This energy is closely related to certain items in our trading system. I am trying to extract this energy for our survival and exploration."
Lin Qian's mind moved, and she thought of the "fog perception" skill she had acquired. Perhaps this skill had some connection with the energy that Zhang Wei was studying. She decided to tell Zhang Wei about her discovery, hoping that it would be helpful to his research.
"Zhang Wei, I have a discovery that may be helpful to your research." Lin Qian told Zhang Wei about her experience and skills. "Do you think this 'fog perception' skill is related to the energy in the fog?"
Zhang Wei's eyes flashed with excitement after hearing this: "It is very possible! Lin Qian, your discovery may open a new door for us. I will continue to study this energy in depth, hoping to find more ways to use it."
Lin Qian smiled and nodded. She felt that her journey of exploration was full of meaning. In this foggy world, she not only found a way to survive, but also made many like-minded friends. They faced challenges together and explored the unknown world together.
As time went by, Lin Qian's strength gradually improved. Not only did she master more trading skills, but she also acquired many powerful skills and props. She began to explore the ruins and secrets in the mist more deeply, hoping to find more clues and answers about the mist.
During an exploration, Lin Qian accidentally triggered a huge mechanism. After the mechanism was activated, a door to an unknown world slowly opened. Lin Qian stood in front of the door, full of anticipation and curiosity. She knew that the real secret of the fog might be hidden behind this door.
"No matter what lies ahead, I will move forward bravely." Lin Qian took a deep breath, took a firm step, and stepped into the portal leading to the unknown world.
As time went by, Lin Qian's strength grew rapidly and robustly like a bud breaking through the ground in spring. Each of her adventures seemed to be a challenge to her own limits, and each time she returned, she brought with her a richer harvest. Her improved trading skills earned her the reputation of a "wise man" among the survivors, and those powerful skills and props made her invincible in actual combat, making her a rare strong person in the eyes of everyone.
Lin Qian's team gradually grew. These members came from all corners of the world. Some were refugees forced to leave their homes by the fog, some were adventurers eager to explore the unknown, and some were followers who admired Lin Qian's wisdom and courage. They sat around the campfire, sharing their stories and planning for a common future. Lin Qian always used a gentle and firm force to bring everyone together to face the challenges brought by the fog.
"Lin Qian, I heard that there is a forgotten forest deep in the fog, and there are ancient treasures hidden in it." A newly joined young explorer said excitedly, with a desire for the unknown in his eyes.
Lin Qian smiled and nodded. She knew that such legends were widely circulated among the survivors. Although it was difficult to tell whether they were true or not, it was these legends that inspired people to explore. "Whether the treasure exists or not, the process of exploration itself is a valuable experience. As long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."
The atmosphere in the team became more lively because of Lin Qian's words, and everyone expressed their willingness to follow her and uncover the mystery of the fog together.
However, as the team grew, the dark side of human nature also quietly grew under the cover of the fog. Once, when exploring a foggy area with extremely rich resources, unprecedented disagreements arose within the team.
"This area is too dangerous, we shouldn't risk going in." Li Ming, a seasoned explorer in the team, said solemnly. He had ventured deep into the fog many times and knew the dangers involved.
"But the resources inside are enough for our entire team to survive for several months!" retorted a young and energetic new member, who only had eyes for the tempting treasure and ignored the potential dangers.
Lin Qian listened to everyone's opinions quietly. She understood everyone's desire for resources, but she also knew the consequences of blindly taking risks. She tried to persuade everyone with reason: "Li Ming is right. The dangers in the fog are unpredictable. We should make full preparations before deciding whether to enter."
But not everyone was willing to listen to Lin Qian's advice. The young member even privately instigated some people who were equally eager for resources in an attempt to split the team.
As night fell, the atmosphere around the campfire became extremely tense. Lin Qian keenly noticed something was wrong with the team, and she decided to call an emergency meeting.
"I know everyone is eager for resources, but we must unite to survive in this fog." Lin Qian's voice was firm and powerful, and she tried to calm everyone's emotions.
However, the young member suddenly stood up, with a provocative tone: "Lin Qian, you are always so cautious, do you want us to linger in this fog forever?"
Lin Qian's eyes suddenly became sharp. She realized that there was a deeper contradiction behind this disagreement. "I'm not asking everyone to linger, but I want us to face the challenge rationally. Blindly taking risks will only cause more people to lose their lives."
But the young members' words had already aroused dissatisfaction among some people, and they began to discuss quietly. Lin Qian felt heartbroken. She didn't expect that the team she built would face division because of momentary greed.
At this moment, Li Ming stood up, his voice steady and powerful: "Lin Qian is right, we can't be blinded by temporary interests. The dangers in the fog are beyond our expectations, and we should obey her command."
Li Ming's words eased the atmosphere in the team a little, but the young member still refused to give up: "If you want to listen to her, then listen! But I will not give up this opportunity."
After saying that, he led some people away from the team and headed towards the dangerous foggy area. Lin Qian looked at their backs, feeling helpless and angry. She knew that this disagreement would not only cause the team to suffer losses, but would also put those who left the team in an irreparable situation.
