Chapter 319 Meeting with Jealousy
Back at the base, Hu You hurriedly soaked himself in warm water.
The temperature in Antarctica is already low enough, but now coupled with the long-term rainfall and the presence of arrogance, the extreme temperature there is at least around minus 80 degrees.
With Hu You's current physical condition, it's a good thing that he only stayed for a while, otherwise he might have been frozen solid.
This soak lasted until noon.
Because when he was absent two days ago, the base area was still operating normally.
So when he came back, the base area continued to operate as it should, without any changes.
He just needs to learn to be free, lie quietly on a bed, and enjoy life.
If there is no water level crisis.
Only five hours have passed, and the water level has already risen to about 7,500 meters. In twenty-five hours, the water level will reach the 10,000-meter level.
At that time, let alone oxygen, even the base built on the turtle shell would be completely submerged in the water.
Everyone's efforts will be destroyed in one day!
Therefore, no matter how fast the water level rises, Hu You must ensure that the water level remains below 10,000 meters before forty-nine days!
No……
The highest water level to ensure that the base area is protected from any harm is 8,560 meters.
Above this number, seawater will begin to soak Bauhinia Mountain.
At 8,960 meters, Bauhinia Mountain will be completely submerged in water.
The water level must not exceed this height.
But besides the heart of the ocean, is there any other way to contain water resources as quickly as possible?
Lust?
As long as He continues to swallow water, the current amount of rainfall can even cause the water level to drop for a while.
It's a pity...
The attitude of lust is very subtle. He does not care about mankind, the race he once created.
If you go to Him now, you will most likely come back disappointed.
Unless, bring gluttony!
This is the last resort!
Before the ceremony begins, if one can be eliminated, it will be one!
Unless the water level approaches more than 9,500 meters, Hu You will never look for lust.
Beyond that, there is one more being!
envy.
The one who created hundreds of holes in the ground to absorb water.
Hu You once asked Yu Lao Xian that the representative of rage is on the moon, gluttony is in his space, and greed is nowhere to be found.
There are four more above Blue Star.
They are pride, lust, sloth, and envy.
He has met the other three, and only the jealous one who has never met has the ability to create hundreds of holes to absorb water.
If He helps, it can also alleviate or even eliminate the consequences of rising water levels to a certain extent.
But how to find it...
Hu You thought for a long time, playing with the note titled "Go" in his hand.
According to the description on the note, as long as he goes to where the jealousy is, he will definitely find it.
But that wasn't what he was struggling with.
Instead, they are entangled in jealousy and the relationship with other members of the same race.
Judging from His name, greed won the victory last time. There is no guarantee that He will be jealous of Greed and thus get angry at Him.
Anyway, it's still early, so I have to think of a sure way before going.
With this thought, another day passed.
August 17th, twelve o'clock in the morning.
Thirty-five days have passed since the end of the world.
The water level has reached 8,500 meters.
The sea water is only 60 meters high from the bottom edge of the base area.
Waiting any longer was not an option.
Hu You's body has returned to normal.
He immediately took out the refreshed black egg... raised his hand and cracked it open!
The main purpose of not hoarding eggs this time, but to start knocking them directly, is to see if Greed will continue to send letters to himself.
If so, you can't just send one word a day, right?
What a pity.
This time the black egg shattered, and only a white light flashed out.
It seemed that the previous four-link draw had used up all Hu You's luck, and what came out was just the simplest soy milk and fried dough sticks.
wrong……
Hu You leaned in front of the soy milk and took a sniff.
This stuff isn’t even soy milk, it’s actually soy juice!
Just one word makes a huge difference!
He had no choice but to put Douzhi'er into the space, and then took out the note titled "Go".
He hadn't thought of a foolproof strategy.
However, he did think of a few more secure methods.
A stinky daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law.
Now time does not allow him to continue to ink, so he can only go over first and take a look step by step.
The note crumbles.
Hu You immediately disappeared from the room.
Just like the last time he met Arrogance, he still didn't bring anyone with him and went straight to the battlefield alone.
After a moment.
The surrounding air suddenly became extremely fragrant.
This smell is like the first floor of a large shopping mall, which is filled with all kinds of big-name cosmetics, and the first thing those big-name brands do when entering the counter is to spray perfume.
I wish I could fill the entire shopping mall with the scent of my own perfume to drive sales.
Unfortunately, everyone thinks so.
All kinds of strong fragrances are combined together, and there is no unique fragrance. Some people may even feel dizzy after smelling it.
The smell Hu You smelled now was like this.
He resisted the stench, stepped on the steel plate and flew in the air, looking around, trying to find the trace of jealousy.
But it was dark all around.
It was early morning and the sky was covered by dark clouds. There was no other light source around, so it was pitch dark.
It was obviously impossible to find the existence of jealousy in this situation.
Hu You couldn't just call for help, so...
He started to take things out of the space!
Isn't it just dark?
He threw hundreds of flash bombs around!
He controlled the magnesium powder inside and sent the flash bombs to about a hundred meters around, and then... detonated!
Boom!
As the huge light exploded, the area within a thousand meters in the dark night was as bright as day!
Hu You hurriedly patrolled the surroundings and soon found a suspected existence of jealousy.
Why is it suspected?
There was only one creature around him besides himself.
But his appearance...
He didn't look like jealousy at all.
I saw a four-legged black shadow floating on the water. Every strand of his mane was like a tassel, and every scale was engraved with patterns.
Under the illumination of the flash bomb, the scales shone brightly, and the mane flickered in the light.
The dragon head raised, and the dark purple pupils stared at Hu You in the strong light.
This is... Qilin!
Jealousy, how could it be a Qilin!
This kind of auspicious beast and sacred beast since ancient times, how can it be related to jealousy?
Before Hu You could speak, jealousy... No, it is not certain now that it is jealousy.
He still floated on the water and spoke calmly: "Human? The breath on your body is a bit rich."
This tone is undoubtedly jealousy!
But why is it a female voice? Female Qilin?
As long as we can communicate, it's fine!
"Hello, sir."
Hu You stood in the air, using the faint light left by the flash bomb, and spoke again in the direction of jealousy.
He immediately revealed his identity: "Sir, I am the spokesperson of greed. This time I came to you for some small matters."
"Oh? The person in charge of greed?"
Envy's voice sounded indifferently: "You carry the smell of arrogance, lust, gluttony, laziness, and rage, but you are the spokesperson of greed."
"What? You came to see me last because I am not worthy?"
How can this be said!
I want to see you, but you should give me a seat!
That's it, and I found you with props!
"Of course not!"
Hu You was about to explain when he saw Envy shaking his head.
"No need to explain to me, you are the spokesperson of greed, and we can communicate on an equal footing. Just say anything."
"...Hey!"
Hu You thought about it and decided not to play tricks with this old silver coin who has lived for tens of thousands of years, and get straight to the point!
"I want you to continue to lower the water level and keep it below 8,600 meters before the rainstorm stops."
"As a price, I can do anything I can for you!"
"Oh? Really?"
Envy seemed to be tempted.
He looked down at Hu You, and without even proposing any conditions, he just lifted his back foot and stomped it lightly!
Boom!
Hundreds of huge pits appeared again around the blue star, and began to swallow the sea water.
The water surface was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Thank you, sir!"
Hu You's eyes showed a hint of joy.
It seems that not all of these beings are difficult to communicate with!
"You're welcome."
Envy uttered two words, and the flash bombs at this moment also exhausted all the light, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
Just when Hu You was about to release some more flash bombs, the dark clouds in the sky also dissipated in an instant!
The bright moon poked its head out.
The clear light fell, illuminating the surroundings of the water surface.
This was the first time Hu You had seen the moon in more than 30 days, and he was stunned.
"This deal, just consider it as a gift from me, it's just a piece of cake, I want to talk to you about another deal now."
Gift?
As the saying goes, free is the most expensive.
Hu You frowned slightly, stared at the other party, and waited for Him to spit out the next condition.
But the other party took out a crystal from somewhere and threw it directly at him!
He subconsciously caught the crystal, and the panel in front of him popped up immediately.
[Item: Mutated Crystal (Legend)]
Legend!
A real legendary mutant crystal!
It's not a pseudo-legend!
With this crystal, I can carry out the third round of evolution!
But... why did He give me this kind of thing? According to the theory of the ritual, isn't this a naked aid to the enemy!
Hu You's pupils trembled, and he looked at the jealous eyes full of confusion.
"Sir, what do you mean..."
"You should need this thing, right?"
At this moment, I don't know if it's an illusion, Hu You feels that this voice is so gentle and considerate!
But just after he uttered the next sentence, Hu You couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Not because of fear, but because of...excitement!
"This is my sincerity. If you don't mind...why don't we work together!"
"I have a way to get rid of the control of greed on you, and even...it's not impossible to make you become greed itself."
