Chapter 247 Preparation
The atrium of the Nightmare Star was filled with the remains of players' corpses, emitting an unpleasant stench.
Yang Yi put on an iron bird-beak mask and directed the ancient skeleton arm to carefully salvage the remains.
After picking up the large shield of the stance, he realized that there might be other equipment buried in these remains.
So he fumbled around and really found two more items.
However, they were severely damaged, and even the original names were not displayed.
One was a dagger, which might have been a long sword, but it was broken. The blade and the hilt were made of metal, sticky, and blood seemed to have seeped into it.
[Name: Red-dyed hilt dagger]
[Type: Treasure]
[Quality: Treasure]
[Introduction: The hilt left by a certain weapon, the blade has been broken, only three inches left, and it can barely be used as a dagger.
Due to long-term soaking in sticky blood residue, the blade and hilt have been stained red.
It is relatively sharp, but due to severe damage, it cannot be upgraded with the craftsman's inscription stone before repair. 】
-----------
Yang Yi tried it and it was not bad, with no side effects, except that it was a bit sticky.
It can be used as a substitute for darts.
The other one is a mechanical glove, which has been rusted.
[Name: Red Rusted Engineering Gloves]
[Type: Treasure]
[Quality: Fine]
[Introduction: A technological product, an engineering glove used when carrying heavy objects.
There is only one left, which has been rusted due to long-term soaking in sticky blood residue, and the fishy smell on it can no longer be washed off.
After wearing it, the strength is +2, only for the right hand. 】
-----------
Yang Yi also tried it on. When the fingers moved, they would make an unpleasant friction sound, and the flexibility was limited, which was suitable for grasping heavy weapons.
However, the quality was too bad, and there was only one.
Yang Yi is not transforming now, and his permanent strength is 10, and the basic is 8. (Night +1, Feast Diner +1)
If you transform, there will be various bonuses, and the strength bonus of this glove is almost equal to nothing. (Low quality, cannot break through the limit of mortal objects 10)
"Wait until the next transaction to sell it, the equipment with added attributes will not be troublesome to sell."
Yang Yi put away the two pieces of equipment and prepared to command the ancient skeleton arm to clean up the corpse residue.
But at this moment, Yang Yi received a reminder that the Nightmare Star was attacked, and the durability dropped by more than 60 points, and it was still decreasing.
He immediately opened the ship interface and checked the damaged parts, and found that it came from the outside of the hull.
"This is..."
Yang Yi immediately realized something, ran to the edge of the deck and looked down.
At some point, the darkness spread upwards for a long distance, and it was still creeping rapidly, which could be directly observed with the naked eye.
When the darkness touches the vines wrapped around the hull, it will corrode the vines and cause damage.
Yang Yi deliberately set a large number of vines at one-third and two-thirds, so that the damage caused would be displayed in the activity log.
For example, now.
After all, the vines are also part of the Nightmare Star, and a large amount of damage will also cause the durability of the ship to decrease.
Although its proportion is not as large as that of skeletons, it is more flexible and can move inside the hull.
Whether it is to block the breach in the hull or to entangle the invading enemy, it can play a significant role.
The vines on the outside of the hull are actually the cordon made by Yang Yi, just to prevent the darkness from suddenly accelerating and causing an unexpected crisis.
He checked the outside of the hull, and the darkness attached to it was climbing up like a living thing, sticky and deep.
It suddenly accelerated, probably because it was stimulated by something, or felt something, such as the sudden increase of a large number of corpse residues on the deck.
"We have to deal with these corpse residues quickly."
Yang Yi was originally going to sweep these corpse residues into the sea, but now it seems that it is not a good choice, which may aggravate the spread of darkness.
Unless it is put in a container and thrown out.
Or....
Yang Yi summoned a few vines.
"Can you absorb these residues cleanly?" he asked.
The vines nodded, and then emerged in large numbers in the atrium of the deck, piercing into the corpse residues, absorbing them quickly like straws.
In just two minutes, the corpse residues on the deck were sucked dry, leaving nothing behind.
As the residues decreased and disappeared, the spread of darkness also slowed down.
In addition, the durability of the Nightmare Star was full, and it seemed that the vines could also restore the durability of the Nightmare Star when absorbing.
So far, Yang Yi also understood the characteristics of the Nightmare Star vines, namely the ferocious green.
It will actively attack hostile creatures on the ship, but will not attack fish caught unless the fish is very dangerous.
In addition, it will not actively attack dead bodies or food unless it receives an order.
Yang Yi told Suna about the situation on the deck:
"Darkness will be attracted by a large amount of corpse residues. Now the spread has exceeded one-third. The muzzles and windows of the first floor must be sealed to prevent darkness from invading.
You can handle the laboratory yourself, and I will do the rest."
After sending the message, he walked towards the cabin and went to the first floor of the cabin.
Unlike before, now only vines are needed to seal windows and gun ports.
What Yang Yi needs to do is to check and ensure that the sealed areas are airtight.
After being eroded by darkness, these vines will only age and harden, and lose vitality, but they can still play a sealing role.
At least in the short term, there is no need to worry about darkness leaking out.
As for what to do next? That's fine.
At that time, darkness had already climbed onto the deck, so how could he care about the cabin?
Yang Yi counted the inventory in the cabin, 276L of pale worm fat, 297L of burnt wine, 103 pieces of black bread, 57 pounds of dried fish, 21 vitality coconuts, and 635g of salt.
There was no need to worry about the remaining basic supplies, which were stored in the cabin space anyway, and there was still 325L of fresh water.
He put all the food into the burnt black worm ring, including the pale worm fat.
Because the fat stomach would steal, fortunately Yang Yi tried it and only lost a little.
The burnt wine stomach was not drinkable, and Yang Yi had tried it before, and it could be put into the stomach.
He packed everything and put it into the burnt black worm ring and the stomach.
The reason for doing this was to prepare for the future.
If he was forced to the lookout on the mast, the cabin would be a restricted area, and it would be too dangerous to get the supplies.
So Yang Yi decided to take everything with him.
He also took out 325 liters of fresh water from the cabin, and was ready to hold on to the lookout.
On Su Na's side.
After receiving Yang Yi's notice, she also made preparations, sealed all the specimens in glass containers, and put the important ones in a treasure bag.
The windows were sealed with glass of appropriate size.
After finishing these, she focused her attention on the detection of the body residue.
Through microscope observation, Su Na saw a pile of "0"-shaped structures, which were stacked with broken cell fragments and some substances.
This was not strange because she had seen it before.
But there were two points that puzzled Su Na.
First, she did not see a complete cell, all broken debris.
In addition, she did not see any bone residue, not at all.
This was very strange.
Even if it was ground and crushed, there should be bone residue.
Could it be that the skin and flesh dissolved and fell off by themselves?
