19: Chapter 19 Ordinary Fog Defogger

It only took a few minutes for Qin Yun to strip off all the scales from the Black Phosphorus Earthworm, leaving the remaining body with no need for further processing.

But even if it couldn't be eaten, he didn't throw it away.

They might not eat it, but what about the beasts outside the Highway?

If he coated the Black Phosphorus Earthworm meat with some Red-eyed Rabbit blood or Sharp-toothed Hyena blood, it might just serve as bait to attract other prey!

"Cat Xiaoxiao, let's go, let's see what good things we can get from the bronze treasure chest!"

"Meow!"

Cat Xiaoxiao indicated that she was sure they would get something very good!

Qin Yun didn't have a bronze key; to open the bronze treasure chest, he would need to consume energy!

The moment he obtained the bronze treasure chest, he learned the method to open it, which was similar to the basic information provided when triggering the Eye of Insight entry!

Back on the electric vehicle, Qin Yun immediately took the bronze treasure chest out of his space ring.

The treasure chest was not large, about the size of a standard box of tissues, and weighed about two jin; its surface was carved with unknown patterns, looking quite mysterious.

After studying it carefully for a while, Qin Yun placed his hand on the chest, focused his attention, and silently thought about opening it.

[Opening the bronze treasure chest requires consuming 50 units of energy. Do you want to open it?]

"Yes!"

With Qin Yun's confirmation, the energy on the vehicle decreased by 50 units, and the bronze treasure chest in front of him let out a click as the lid automatically opened.

[Opened the bronze treasure chest and obtained Vehicle Blueprint (tricycle) *1, ordinary fog dispeller *1!]

Just seeing the blueprint made Qin Yun reveal a look of pleasant surprise!

They were now only missing the Vehicle Upgrade Stone (tricycle) to meet all the upgrade conditions for the electric vehicle!

Immediately after, information regarding the Vehicle Blueprint (tricycle) and the ordinary fog dispeller was transmitted.

In short.

The tricycle blueprint was one of the necessary items to upgrade the electric vehicle!

The ordinary fog dispeller could disperse thick fog within a 300-meter radius by consuming a small amount of energy!

Every item was a good one!

"Cat Xiaoxiao, Xiao Qi, this is a vehicle blue..."

Qin Yun stated the names and introductory information for both items.

"Congratulations, Master, for opening such satisfying and good things from the bronze treasure chest!"

"Meow meow!"

Qin Yun was indeed quite satisfied.

Not to mention the blueprint, the ordinary fog dispeller could disperse thick fog!

With it, going out to explore would surely yield more, and it would also be safer!

Qin Yun put the tricycle blueprint into his space ring and then placed the ordinary fog dispeller on the footboard.

With a thought, he opened the vehicle category on the survivor panel.

The next moment, the ordinary fog dispeller was successfully equipped!

The appearance of the electric vehicle did not change at all.

"Master, the ordinary fog dispeller is equipped inside the electric vehicle, and the touchscreen now displays buttons to turn it on and off. Starting the fog dispeller requires consuming 1 unit of energy per hour."

"Let's start it briefly."

Qin Yun turned his head to look outside the Highway.

"Received, the ordinary fog dispeller has been activated!"

Invisible fluctuations radiated from the body of the electric vehicle.

In an instant, the emitted unknown fluctuations swept out to 300 meters!

The thick fog outside the Highway also dissipated rapidly at this moment.

Soon, the thick fog cleared away completely, and visibility improved accordingly!

The distance Qin Yun could clearly see had expanded to 300 meters; beyond that was thick white fog, which looked a bit blurry.

"Really nice. With this ordinary fog dispeller, regardless of what we harvest tomorrow when we go out to explore, our safety should be guaranteed!"

"Rest assured, Master, no matter what time it is, Xiao Qi will definitely protect you well!"

"Meow!"

Cat Xiaoxiao raised her right paw and waved it vigorously, indicating that she would also protect Master forever.

"Hahaha, then you both must work hard!"

Qin Yun gently rubbed the cat's head and patted the electric vehicle.

He was very fortunate to have the company of Cat Xiaoxiao and Qin Xiaoqi.

...

The bronze treasure chest did not disappear, and its weight did not change, but it seemed to have lost its spirit.

After triggering the Eye of Insight entry, Qin Yun discovered that the basic information and suggestions had changed; the originally mysterious bronze treasure chest had truly become just a literal bronze treasure chest, and it was no longer almost indestructible!

So, was the "almost indestructible" property just to prevent Survivors from opening it violently?

It was a bit of a pity, more or less.

He had originally thought about modifying the bronze treasure chest into a shield or something similar...

After finishing dinner and getting out of the vehicle to practice Baduanjin again, Qin Yun played with Cat Xiaoxiao while observing the situation on both sides of the Highway.

Night had fallen, and visibility on both sides had dropped to the minimum; the white fog flowed slowly, and the environment became eerie and terrifying!

Qin Yun even suspected that without the company of Cat Xiaoxiao and Qin Xiaoqi, his mental state might have gradually started to have problems in such an environment!

It was hard to imagine how those who participated in the Highway survival alone, going out to explore for resources during the day and having to control their vehicles at night without being able to rest peacefully, managed to spend one day after another.

Undoubtedly, even for someone with a firm will, after staying in such an environment for a long time, their mental state would definitely have some problems, more or less!

No wonder the weirdos on the regional communication channel had become more and more numerous today.

Qin Yun pondered for a moment and felt that there should be some changes later; otherwise, if it continued like this, there would certainly be no shortage of people going crazy!

Seven minutes later, Qin Yun picked up Cat Xiaoxiao and sat on the electric vehicle.

"Xiao Qi, you teach Cat Xiaoxiao to read. I'll check the information on the regional communication channel. Cat Xiaoxiao, you must study hard. Taking a sip of this ox horn powder water from time to time can improve your learning efficiency."

"Rest assured, Master, Xiao Qi will teach Cat Xiaoxiao diligently."

Qin Yun nodded and placed Cat Xiaoxiao, who was in his arms, on the front of the vehicle. "As long as you learn it, the touchscreen here will also open up more permissions for you. There are games inside, and Xiao Qi can also create other games."

Cat Xiaoxiao looked up and meowed, indicating that she would definitely study hard, not to play games, but to be able to help Master better in the future.

"Great!"

After rubbing the cat's head, Qin Yun moved to the back seat, leaned against the water condenser, and then with a thought, opened the regional communication channel.

[Tom Cat: @Jerry Mouse, wifey, I have found the mark; I will be able to return soon.]

[Jerry Mouse: @Tom Cat, okay, okay, okay, I'll wait for you to come back. Let's stop talking for now; you focus on driving and don't get lost again.]

[*: Did something happen to Great Sage? He hasn't said a word from noon until now.]

[Betray the Whole World: For someone who talks so much, the fact that he hasn't spoken for so long means he probably died outside.]

[Stewed Goose in Iron Pot: @Betray the Whole World, you dog, why do you speak so horribly? Did you eat too much shit?]

[Crit with Every Strike: Brothers and sisters, you absolutely won't believe what I discovered in the wild this afternoon—pictures and videos—this place actually has zombies, and they aren't even the slow-moving kind of zombies!]
