Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 3 Free Sacrifice
There are only 32 hours left before the end of the world, but Li Xun is still more than 400 nautical miles away from the land and more than 5000 kilometers away from his hometown Donghai Province on the ocean. There are more than a dozen vicious and ruthless pirates on board. Such a difficult situation gave him a headache endlessly.

Li Xun took a deep breath, wiped his face with cold water, forced himself to calm down, his mind was racing, and he began to think about what to do next.

First of all, find a way to inform the family, no matter what excuse you find, ask your parents to store as much food and water as possible, and hide at home and don't go out.

He tried calling his dad on the satellite phone in the safety pod, but the phone didn't respond, maybe the pirates had turned off the satellite signal, or damaged the line.

This is troublesome. If you want to contact the outside world at sea, you can only use satellites. In this way, you can only contact them after being rescued or turning on the satellite dish again. If the rescue is timely and smooth, it may not take a day for them to regain their freedom. But there may be no results for dozens or hundreds of days, so we can only temporarily put this matter aside for the time being.

If there is no doomsday, Li Xunda can just close the safety hatch and wait for rescue. There is a high probability that the pirates will not come back here. It is the safest way to do so, but now time is limited, so he decided to go out to see the situation first.

But before that, he still needs to try the new free sacrifice in the system to see if there are any good rewards. The rewards that increase strength in a short period of time are the best.

He first took out a box of compressed biscuits as a sacrifice, and spent 1 point of energy to let the system scan it. The process was very fast. After a laser-like red light scanned it, the system prompted: "This sacrifice needs to consume a total of 10 Point of energy, sacrifice can get 1 point of energy, do you want to sacrifice?"

Li Xun's face darkened when he heard this, he is only a fool for losing 9 points of energy, it seems that the system is not interested in compressed biscuits, does it have no favorite taste?
Next, he scanned mineral water, instant noodles, and canned beef, none of which aroused the interest of the system, and even except for canned beef, the scan results of the other two items were of no sacrificial value.

Li Xun couldn't help groaning inwardly. Obviously, just feeding and feeding was not enough, and he had to figure out the temper of the system. There was really no way to deal with such a system.

It seems that he needs to find something to sacrifice and try, and he has to figure out the preferences of the system first.

But now he is floating on the ocean, and the ship has been hijacked by pirates. Where can he find something?
"System, tell me what you like so I can find it for you." Li Xun simply asked directly.

The system remained silent and ignored him.

Well, obviously the result of asking is different from the result of careful preparation.

Li Xun, who was thinking hard, suddenly thought of something, and his eyes gradually lit up: "It's dark under the lights, where is there more stuff than here, there are more than 7000 containers on board, anyway, the end is coming, instead of letting these The container is floating on the ship, why not see if there is any sacrifice value, and don’t waste it.”

Once a decision was made, Li Xun immediately put it into action, and his preferred target was the container in the cabin below the deck.

Taking a flashlight and turning the walkie-talkie to silent mode, Li Xun gently opened the hatch and walked out cautiously. The engine room outside was very noisy, and the main engine that had stopped had started up again, and the cabin was stuffy and hot.

This is the lowest level of the engine room, and it takes three floors to reach the deck.

Li Xun was lucky, no pirates were found in the huge engine room, he quickly came to the uppermost floor of the engine room while carefully observing the surrounding situation.

He didn't leave the engine room hastily, but went outside the central control room first, and quietly peeped in through the glass window on the door.

As expected, there were two pirates with guns watching the second engineer Cronan and a mechanic named Edward. The pirates asked them to start the main engine again, apparently to drive the ship away and avoid the rescuers.

Li Xun quietly left the central control room and entered the maintenance workshop next door. When he came out, he had a pair of pliers and an electrician's knife in his hand. He carefully climbed up the stairs on the other side and opened the cabin on the front of the bridge leading to the deck. Door.

The probe looked on both sides, but no one was found. It is estimated that the pirates should be in the bridge. Li Xun walked along the bridge to the starboard side and ran towards the bow.

He noticed that the lubricating oil on the ground in front of the cabin door had been washed away, there was no trace of the Molotov cocktail where the pirates came up, and the rope was gone. These pirates were very smart.

Li Xun turned around and came to the bottom of the cabin. The noise made here could not be heard from the cab, so he could open the box with confidence.

Because he didn't know what was in the container, opening the box was like opening a blind box. Thinking about how many boxes could be opened, Li Xun was a little excited.

After choosing a box that was more pleasing to the eye, Li Xun cut off the lead seal with pliers. After opening the box door, layers of cardboard boxes were neatly stacked inside. The goods could not be seen from the shipping marks. After cutting open a box with an electrician's knife, It was found that it was a glass bottle packed in four colors.

The system probably wouldn't like this thing, but Li Xun spent a little energy to scan it and the system found that it was worthless as a sacrifice.

After closing the door, Li Xun opened the second blind box, this time a box of shirts, which felt good to the touch, but he didn't bother the system at all, saving a little energy.

The third time luck seemed to be good. A box of Western cutlery was opened, including knives, forks and spoons. The material should be stainless steel. After this scan, the system gave a different conclusion: "This sacrifice will consume a total of 20 points. Energy, sacrifice can get 30 points of energy, a piece of alloy formula, do you want to sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice."

What appeared during the sacrifice was a white light, which was a little slower than scanning, and the boxes of tableware in the container disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the white light disappeared, there was only an empty box left.

Then the energy value on the system interface increased by 10 points, and an alloy formula suddenly appeared in Li Xun's mind, as if it was there originally.

"Aluminum 5.5-6.5, tin 3.8-4.8, molybdenum 1.5-2.5, zirconium 1.5-2.5, silicon 0.1-0.25, neodymium 0.6-1.2, armor, balance, other impurities are not more than 0.4." This is the entire content of the formula.

Although he knows every ingredient and content, that's all. He has finally heard of molybdenum, zirconium, tin, etc., but what is that armor? Is there such a thing in the periodic table of elements?

The alloy formula is almost useless to him, Li Xun is a little disappointed, but fortunately, there are still 10 points of energy in the account, which is a bit of consolation.

He cheered up and continued to open the blind box.

Socks, no sacrificial value; wooden chair, you can get a little energy; candles, you can get a little energy; plush toys, no sacrificial value; badminton, no sacrificial value; leather bag, no sacrificial value; space quilt, no sacrificial value Sacrifice value; lamps, you can get a little energy; cosmetics, no sacrifice value; medical gloves, you can get a little energy.

He opened ten blind boxes in a row, but none of them worked. The 10 points of energy he earned just now went into it again, and his luck didn't seem to be very good.

Li Xun switched to a different place and opened a blind box. This time it was a rare book. He hesitated for a while whether to save a little energy. The system scanned the wooden chair just now and the result was a little energy. He thought Wood and paper are essentially the same thing. Later, I thought it would be better to scan it, and spend a little energy to confirm it, but the result was greatly unexpected.

In addition to 100 energy points for sacrificing these books, there are other rewards, and there are two other rewards. Although no specific rewards were given, this is already the best result since opening the box.

This was a surprise, of course Li Xun chose to sacrifice without hesitation.

The 100 energy points arrived quickly, and the other two rewards made Li Xun's eyes widen.
