The Black Sea churned and surged, and the sky-covering tornado slowly subsided.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

After a brief pause, it was as if an invisible hand had pulled back the curtain that had been obscuring the sky.

In an instant, the sky cleared, and the water met the sky. The blue waves rippled, adorned with shades of light blue, dark blue, and emerald from near to far.

It resembles a beautiful scene from a movie.

The waves surged in, pushing the wreckage of the raft hidden below a distance, leaving a trail of snow-white ripples.

The wreckage arched upwards, and two tentacles reached out. The little sea monster popped out from underneath, tilted its head, and stared blankly at the vast, boundless sea.

【ma……】

【ma!】

The child's innocent voice echoed across the vast sea, but received no response.

[Receive 1 Friend Communication Voucher]

...

The thrill of the near-death experience hadn't faded yet. Fang Zhiyi closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his amber pupils were now calm.

First, I opened the private chat interface and found the chat box with Chu Zhao.

I clicked it, and the profile picture status showed "Level Completed". I clicked it again, wanting to ask how things were going, but before I could send the message, a small reminder popped up: "Currently in personal space, temporarily disconnected."

Fang Zhiyi closed the private chat interface and turned to look at the messages that were refreshing.

After completing the Raft Survival World, the achievements and rewards were tallied. In total, I received 100 survival points, 20 skill points, and a few miscellaneous items.

The majority of these are survival points, which can be used to purchase items in the survival shop.

The store has everything imaginable, from food to weapons, from skins to pets, a dazzling array of items at astonishing prices.

I painstakingly saved up 50 points in Raft Survival World, but before I could even enjoy them, I spent them all on buying protective shields.

You now get 100 points for clearing a level, which is a huge sum of money and can be used to buy a lot of items.

Perhaps knowing that players would have a lot of points after completing the first world, they actually launched a discount page.

[-75%] [Daily Discount]

You can buy a basic survival kit for 3 points. It contains 1 bottle of water and 1 loaf of bread.

Six points can be used to purchase a basic resource pack, which contains 3 pieces of wood.

10 points can be used to purchase a blind box, which will randomly contain any item from the store.

Fang Zhiyi blinked, feeling that this looked familiar. Wasn't this the kind of trick used in mobile games where you had to spend 6 yuan on your first purchase? Did survival games also resort to forcing players to spend money?

But then I thought, if a survival game is so eager for players to use up their points, maybe those points are for something else.

Upon closer inspection of the shop, Fang Zhiyi indeed discovered a clue. In an inconspicuous corner, there was a Doomsday World Speedrun Ticket. Priced at 999 points, purchasing the ticket allowed one to instantly complete the Doomsday World.

Fang Zhiyi glanced at the 100 points in her hand, then at the 999-yuan speed pass coupon, and silently added it to her shopping cart.

He had no shortage of supplies, and the items in the mall didn't hold much appeal for him, so he decided to save up his points first.

Exit the store and look at the other items you've acquired.

The most attractive feature is undoubtedly the 20 skill points. You can choose to allocate these points to either [Stamina] or [Hunger] to increase your stat cap.

Fang Zhiyi thought for a moment and then focused all his points on [Stamina].

Hunger can be restored by eating food, but stamina will cause the negative effect of "fatigue", which will reduce speed and strength. The only way to get rid of the negative effect is to sleep, which is very inconvenient.

The stamina bar has now been increased, which will reduce the occurrence of this kind of thing.

As for the other items, they're not needed yet. The [Mall Discount Coupon] offers a 1% discount on all items in the mall; the [Friend Communication Coupon] allows you to connect with friends across the post-apocalyptic world…

The current "Personal" interface is as follows.

[...]

After completing the game, all the materials collected in the post-apocalyptic world disappeared, essentially returning me to square one. Fortunately, the linked fresh food supermarket was still there.

Fang Zhiyi cursed the game under his breath.

Perhaps hearing his inner thoughts, a completely emotionless electronic voice immediately started playing in his ears.

[Loading post-apocalyptic world]

[World Code 02-73000 - Extreme Temperatures - Winter Survival]

A flash of white light appeared before Fang Zhiyi's eyes, and he subconsciously closed them. The blinding light danced on his eyelids. He slowly opened them and found himself in a world of ice and snow.

The biting wind was so cold that it made one's cheeks tingle.

Before anything was prepared, a new apocalyptic world had already arrived.

[Task has been issued]

Players are advised to upgrade and modify their camps to prepare for the blizzard that will occur in 7 days.

When the halo of light faded, all that appeared around us was a blanket of snow and ice.

The snow was thick, crunching underfoot, and went up to her calves. Fang Zhiyi was wearing a thin windbreaker, and the cold wind kept blowing in, quickly frost forming on her hair and eyelashes.

Fang Zhiyi took a deep breath, her nasal mucosa stinging from the cold, and her body temperature was constantly dropping.

【cold】

[Stamina-2]

Hunger -1

Please select your campsite.

He didn't have much time to think, so Fang Zhiyi exhaled a puff of cold air and chose to set up camp on the open ground next to him.

A flash of white light appeared, and [fzy's Level 0 Camp] came into view.

Clang.

A fire made of three pieces of wood appeared in the open space. With a "hiss," the fire was lit, and flames leaped out, the firelight falling on people and driving away the cold.

Within the range of the campfire, the negative effect of "Cold" disappears, and stamina and hunger no longer decrease.

Fang Zhiyi moved his frozen hands and feet and surveyed the camp with his eyes.

The level 0 camp is very simple, with only one campfire and a small area, only about 1 meter in radius. Once you step out of it, the cold wind will immediately cause you to lose a lot of stamina and hunger.

Upgrading the camp requires 10 wood.

Similarly, maintaining a fire requires 2 pieces of wood per hour.

Once the fire goes out, he will only freeze to death.

Fang Zhiyi's hands were empty, without a single piece of wood, making him feel extremely insecure and uneasy.

Fortunately, there was a small forest not far from the camp, from which they could obtain wood.

In order to obtain wood, Fang Zhiyi tried to leave the camp. As soon as he stepped out of the firelight, he was blinded by the oncoming wind and snow, and could hardly move an inch in the snow.

Frostbite; Hypothermia

Two negative effects appeared on him, and his stamina dropped drastically in an instant, leaving him in a precarious situation.

Fang Zhiyi quickly retreated, and as soon as he returned to the camp, the omnipresent wind and snow disappeared.

It seems that surviving in this world is more difficult than surviving on a raft.

Fang Zhiyi sat by the fire, touched his ears, and felt his knuckles turn red. They were sore and itchy from the cold, as if ants were crawling on them.

【frostbite】

[Stamina-10]

After all that, Fang Zhiyi's stamina was down to 84, and her hunger was 87, still within a safe range. A third of the fire's burning time had passed, leaving 40 minutes remaining.

You need to gather enough wood before the fire goes out.

I should have placed the campsite next to the forest.

Fang Zhiyi attempted to dismantle and rebuild the camp.

[Campsite renovation voucher required]

The campfire remained motionless in the snow. The plan to rebuild the camp had failed, and Fang Zhiyi glanced at the online store.

Upon entering, the first thing he saw was a prominent discount section, with basic resource packs beckoning him. For just 6 points, he could get 3 pieces of wood, and by purchasing 4 packs, he could overcome his current difficulties.

Fang Zhiyi did not go to buy it.

Purchasing basic supplies can certainly solve the immediate problem, but what happens after that? Survival points will eventually run out, so it doesn't solve the fundamental issue.

Without hesitation, he left the survival shop and opened the supermarket.

[A Fresh Food Supermarket Lv.2 (Bound)]

Daily pickup count: 5/5

The supermarket was brightly lit, with rows of shelves neatly arranged.

As a fresh food supermarket, it naturally wouldn't sell wood and charcoal. Fang Zhiyi scanned the shelves and took out a bunch of things with a clatter.

Earmuffs, scarf, and gloves (three-piece set).

With fluffy earmuffs and gloves on, and a scarf covering most of my face, I instantly felt warm. I tried to leave the camp again, and the wind and snow came, but it wasn't as biting as before, and my stamina was decreasing at an acceptable rate.

[Stamina: 64]

Hunger level: 77

Braving the wind and snow, step by step, we finally arrived at the forest.

The trees provided ample shade, blocking some of the wind and snow. Their canopies stretched out, and the branches were covered in a blanket of snow.

Now the question is, how do we obtain wood?

Fang Zhiyi reached out and pressed his hand against the rough bark of the tree, shaking it vigorously.

Instead of pieces of wood falling as expected, a chunk of snow fell from above with a "plop" and landed right at their feet.

The cold snowflakes crept into my collar, leaving a chill on the back of my neck.

The branches rustled, as if mocking his futile efforts.

Fang's meaning: ...

Fang Zhiyi kicked the snow in annoyance.

[Stamina-1]

Clang.

Something was hidden in the snow, and my toes unexpectedly bumped into it.

The snow was blown away, and a piece of wood was kicked and sent flying into the air.

Fang Zhiyi grimaced, picked up the piece of wood that had fallen to the ground, and, having a new idea, began searching through the snow.

[Obtain 8 pieces of wood]

Before I knew it, I had entered the depths of the forest. I glanced at my remaining strength and knew I couldn't go any further, or I wouldn't have enough energy to make my way back.

Just as I was about to turn back, I caught a glimpse of a cold light reflecting off the forest.

There is something.

Fang Zhiyi stopped in her tracks, gritted her teeth, and sped up to rush towards where Leng Guang was.

Snowflakes flew, and mist filled the air.

What appeared before them was a tree stump with an old axe stuck in it and a bundle of chopped firewood beside it.

[Obtain the Hunter's Worn Axe]

[Obtain a bundle of firewood]

The axe landed in my hand, heavy with weight. Although it was marked as worn, the blade was sharp and didn't affect its use at all. There was also a bundle of firewood, 10 pieces per bundle, so now I had 18 pieces of wood in my backpack.

Having lingered for a while, Fang Zhiyi felt increasingly cold all over. Sniffing his nose, which was red from the cold, he turned around and walked back without hesitation.

Following the footsteps I had come from, I stepped on something and heard a "crunch" sound under my feet, a crisp sound that echoed through the silent woods.

After a brief pause, a low wolf howl echoed from the depths of the woods.

"Waaah—"

"Waaah—"

The howls of wolves rose and fell, and they were rapidly approaching this direction.

Fang Zhiyi didn't look back, and hurried along the way, finally returning to the camp before running out of energy.

The camp was engulfed in firelight, and the snow on our shoulders began to melt.

[Upgrade camp by consuming 10 wood?]

【yes】

[Camp upgrade complete]

A bundle of wood disappeared into the backpack, replaced by a fence around the campfire. It was more of a rickety fence than a few pieces of wood stuck in the ground, looking as if it would collapse in the wind.

Something is better than nothing.

[Camp level 1. Upgrading requires constructing 0/2 level 1 residential buildings, 0/1 level 1 defensive buildings, and 0/1 level 1 campfire.]

The simple fire in front of him flickered weakly, almost going out. Fang Zhiyi quickly added two pieces of wood to keep it burning.

【00:59:59】

The flames leaped, maintaining a warm temperature.

Fang Zhiyi rubbed his hands together and began studying the items needed to upgrade his camp to level 2.

Unlike upgrading the raft in the previous world, upgrading the camp requires constructing a certain number of buildings. Fortunately, this time you don't need to search for blueprints; you just need to gather the materials.

Before the campfire, you can open the camp list, where the names of various buildings will appear.

Level 1 living structures include: camp tents, basic crafting station, and campfire.

Level 1 defensive structures include: catapults, watchtowers, and trenches.

I clicked in and took a quick look.

【Camp tents】

[Requires 15 wood and 10 cloth]

[Basic Crafting Table]

[Requires 15 wood and 5 stone]

【bonfire】

[Requires 5 wood and 5 stone]

Catapult

[Requires 5 wood and 10 stones]

...

The camp tents are used for sleeping and recovering stamina, and the basic crafting table can be used to craft some basic equipment, such as axes, spears, and pickaxes. After upgrading the camp and adding fuel to the campfire, Fang Zhiyi only had 6 pieces of wood left in his backpack. No matter what he planned to do next, he had to go out and collect materials first.

After sitting by the campfire for a while, until his stamina recovered to over 80%, Fang Zhiyi picked up his axe and headed back towards the forest. He hadn't forgotten the eerie howls of wolves echoing from within, so he didn't dare venture too far, only lingering on the outskirts.

The snow here had been turned over, and there were no more fallen logs to pick up. Fang Zhiyi weighed the heavy axe in his hand and gestured towards an unknown tree.

Thump!

With a tense grip, the sharp axe embedded itself deeply into the tree trunk, the impact sending a shiver down his spine. He pulled the axe out, gripped the handle tightly, and swung it again.

Knock knock knock!

After three swings of the axe, each swing costing 5 stamina, the tree snapped in half, and with a crack, the towering tree fell to the other side.

Fang Zhiyi's eyes widened.

The moment the tree trunk hit the ground, it didn't make a deafening noise. Instead, it transformed into countless streams of light and dissipated into the world, leaving behind a mess of scattered materials.
