Chapter 5: The Life-and-Death Crisis Thirty Days Later
It is quite simple; I just need to anticipate the direction in which the shark will bite me. When a person is in a state of extreme anger, both strength and agility are significantly enhanced. As long as I evade the shark's attack, I will be able to knock it out with a single punch
Chen Changan muttered to himself, but when he opened the upgrade materials requirement list, a look of helplessness appeared on his face
Chen Changan revitalized his spirit and opened the trending search rankings, discovering that the number of participants for the trending keyword "shark" rapidly increased, soaring all the way to the ninth position
In a certain country's methods of torture, the torturers add salt to the food of the criminals and provide only a small amount of drinking water, ensuring that the criminals are well-fed and warm, yet remain in a state of prolonged thirst. This method of torment is more civilized than severe physical coercion, and the psychological torment it inflicts far surpasses that of ordinary corporal punishment
Hiss, what did I forget
Upon waking, he once again heard the joyful news transmitted by the system
Even posts written in pure classical Chinese can be generally understood by people from various countries, although they may be relatively obscure and difficult to comprehend
Chen Changan's "Beginner Survival Experience Collection" post has received replies and bookmarks from tens of thousands of people, with over 50,000 new followers. Many individuals share the information they have mastered in hopes of receiving a response from Chen Changan
Many people responded to this highly praised comment, expressing that their raft's durability decreased slightly after getting up, and some even directly revealed the truth
Durability: 2450
Forum users collectively call out: "The physical constitution of individuals cannot be generalized!"
Drifting supplies may contain drinking water
They have only two paths to choose from
Quality: Gray
Upgrade Plan 2: Transform the raft into a black awning boat structure, obtain paddles, significantly enhance the ability to withstand wind and waves, upgrade cost 800 survival points
He furrowed his brow, sensing that the matter was not simple
What one should truly fear is the shark
He clicked on the keywords and saw that the posts at the very front came from a certain battle-hardened nation known for tearing apart sharks. Perhaps due to the forum's machine translation of Russian, the title of the popular post was "The Decline of Sharks"
It was not until Chen Changan looked at the brand new wooden barrel that he realized the problem, and he quickly checked the remaining durability of the raft
In thirty days, all of humanity will face a life-and-death crisis
Raft Destruction Crisis
Description: A common wooden raft measuring 2m x 2.5m is ubiquitous, yet it is the home upon which you depend for your survival
More dangerously, if there are no other channels to obtain timber, Chen Chang'an will have to continue dismantling the logs from the raft to serve as fuel, which will lead to the raft facing destruction sooner.
The increase in the water purification barrel has optimized Chen Changan's living environment, additionally granting him 5 survival points
At the moment the shark died, a batch of drifting supplies appeared on the distant sea surface, the quantity far exceeding that of the previous day
It can compel criminals to abandon mountains of gold and silver, revealing all fatal information, just for a sip of water, even if it is merely a one-yuan bottle of ice-cold mineral water, they would gladly accept it
Chen Changan's expression was grave, realizing the seriousness of the issue
In the previous life on Earth, humanity reigned supreme, viewing the oceans as a treasure trove of resources, eagerly developing oil, combustible ice, fisheries, minerals, and other resources found within the seas
In this global survival competition, the most unfortunate are individuals like Chen Changan, who come from orphanages
What they must face is the supreme ruler at the top of the food chain in another world, the terrifying upright ape, which has stood for millions of years
Material? So that's how it is
Scanning user survival environment, survival evaluation in progress, today obtained 15 survival points
However, when 8 billion humans truly live on the sea, everyone will realize that the ocean is no different from the desert
The corner of his mouth twitched, as it is estimated that many of the netizens here belong to the "leisure class" who do not lack for resources. They have been fortunate enough to complete their aid missions and need not worry about food and water sources for thirty days
Upgrade Plan 1: Upgrade the raft to a large raft, expanding the raft area to 4 × 4m, increasing the durability of the raft, adding a sail and oars, and gaining mobility. The upgrade costs 500 survival points
I executed a left front kick, followed by a right whip kick, and then a left jab
Chen Changan silently clicked on the next post, the title was quite eye-catching
At that time, Chen Chang'an had long since met his demise in the belly of a fish
Without the piercing sound of the alarm clock, Chen Changan experienced the joy of waking up naturally after a long time
Chen Changan focused his gaze on the wooden raft, hoping that the doomsday survival system would provide assistance
The Deep Sea World Forum is quite remarkable; although billions of humans express themselves in hundreds of different scripts, everyone is able to understand the writings of other nations, akin to the effect of Baidu's machine translation
In the trending topic "Shark", thousands of people are discussing how to efficiently kill a shark
It has decreased by a full 6 points
There is no other way
Chen Changan quickly understood why "Shark" was able to rapidly rise in the trending search rankings
It is still necessary to gather resources in order to reduce the consumption of survival points
The point of survival is the hope of survival
A little durability represents a usage time of one day
According to the current accumulation rate of survival points, it will take at least one month to meet the survival point requirements for Upgrade Plan 1
I must build a new ship within 24 days, otherwise, I will drown in this vast ocean
It is a water-devil that emerges from the limbs and bones, slowly crawling up the throat, eventually occupying the brain.
One person's inquiry became a highly praised response in his post
Chen Changan smiled faintly, just like yesterday, opening the forum to search for useful information
The sun rises and the moon sets
When the shark attempted to overturn the small boat, the fighting nation swiftly defeated the shark as they would normally handle a bear, in just a few moves
The shark lunged at me, and with a swift slide, I glided beneath it and sliced open its belly with a knife
Chen Changan toyed with the hook rope in his hand, a fleeting inspiration flashed through his mind, but it vanished in an instant
The Flying Henan People
Mediocre and unremarkable
The warrior nation recounts that in the initial phase, he chose a background that enhanced his combat abilities, becoming a wandering sea samurai. He possesses a small boat and carries a steel knife with him.
Chen Changan sighed; the wooden raft, being a large object, consumed survival points far more than the clean water barrel.
The five points of durability are undoubtedly due to the fact that one has plundered the logs from the raft oneself
Dear host, I woke up this morning and noticed that the durability of my raft has decreased a bit. Do you know what might have caused this? What happens when the durability is gone?
That is not correct. If I am struggling so much, then what about others on the forum? The deep-sea world has brought in 8 billion humans and has provided rafts and a system; it is impossible for so many people to fail.
Accessories: wooden hook, wooden idol, water purification wooden barrel
No way, no way, could there really be someone who can't defeat a shark? When the shark swims over, with a single flying kick, I can use the shark's skull as a bowl!
Chen Changan looked around, the solitary stars scattered in the desolate ocean, here, apart from the sea, there is nothing else.
Durability decreases at the moment of dawn
Either hunt sharks and take a gamble on the second drift of supplies surfacing, or die of thirst
Hundreds of millions of unfortunate individuals have neither the opportunity to assist the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, nor have they managed to obtain drinking water from the first batch of drifting supplies
Another highly praised response is "Why is everyone's endurance thirty?"
