No one is idle.

Time passed by, and before long, they encountered a new wave of ferocious ice bears!

"Little turtle, perk up and get ready for the challenge!" After firing wave after wave of arrows, Jiang An turned and shouted to the little turtle standing on the aft deck, ready for battle.

The number of ice bears in this wave is slightly less than that of the previous wave, with four fewer remaining, leaving only twenty-six.

However, Jiang An and the little turtle showed no fear in the face of these ferocious beasts.

"Charge!" With Jiang An's command, she charged into the pack of ice bears like an arrow, wielding an incomparably sharp longsword. With each strike, she unleashed a fierce and merciless attack.

Each strike contained boundless power and sharpness, as if it could tear the entire world apart.

Meanwhile, the little turtle followed closely behind without hesitation. Its agile body moved freely among the ice bears, occasionally using its hard shell to ram into its enemies or extending its sharp claws to deliver a fatal blow.

Compared to the previous thrilling battle, the man and the turtle now seemed to be handling the situation with greater ease and confidence.

They had perfect chemistry and worked together seamlessly, quickly gaining the upper hand.

With a "bang," the last ice bear fell to the ground, signaling the complete end of the battle.

Jiang An obtained 18 Originium from 26 Ice Bears, bringing his total Originium earnings from the two battles to 38.

The 12 hours seemed exceptionally long, as every minute and second was a matter of life and death; yet they also flew by, ending in the blink of an eye.

During this long steamship voyage, Jiang An and Little Turtle encountered countless groups of ice bears, and each encounter meant a thrilling life-or-death struggle.

However, they did not back down. Instead, with their indomitable will and superb skills, they defeated the bear pack time and time again.

Finally, as night fell and the clock struck 7:30 p.m., the long-running battle between the players and the Ice Bear truly came to an end.

Time's up!

As soon as he finished speaking, the ice bears on the ice surface vanished completely, including those wounded by Jiang An's arrows, which still had some breath left, and they disappeared without a trace.

"So fast!" Jiang An exclaimed as he watched the ice bear disappear from the ice.

Time flies. If she had just a few more minutes, she could have wiped out this group of ice bears, which were already injured.

The official rankings will be released in 30 minutes. Please stay tuned!

The player ranked first will receive 6 silver chests, second place will receive 4 silver chests, third place will receive 3 silver chests, fourth to tenth place will receive 2 silver chests, eleventh to fiftyth place will receive 1 silver chest, and fifty-first to hundredth place will receive 2 bronze chests. All other surviving players will receive 1 bronze chest!

She naturally wanted the silver treasure chest, but Jiang An's requirements weren't high. Being able to get into the top 100 would be enough. After all, other players were fighting alone, while Jiang An, along with Little Turtle, had two people fighting together.

Furthermore, both the human and the tortoise are quite powerful in combat, and when they cooperate with each other, the sum of their parts is greater than the sum of their parts!

Exhausted, Jiang An and the little turtle dragged their heavy steps back to the cabin.

The battle lasted 12 hours straight, with hardly any time to rest. If it weren't for the continuous improvement in her physical condition during this period, she would have collapsed long ago.

Despite being extremely exhausted, she felt a great sense of accomplishment; she had survived another crisis.

After resting for a while, Jiang An couldn't wait to start counting his spoils of the day—Originium!

She took them directly out of her backpack and counted them; there were a total of 327 Originium.

These Originium stones shimmered with a mysterious light, as if they contained boundless power.

Jiang An plans to use 100 of the Source Stones for upgrading. Before the severe natural disaster ends, she must reach level 6 to be among the top players in District 2333. The remaining stones can be traded with other players in private to exchange for rare and special items.

Jiang An knew perfectly well that these source stones would bring him huge rewards.

The next step is very simple and clear: calmly wait for the final results of the game to be revealed.

As for whether he could make it into the top 100, Jiang An had long been filled with eager anticipation.

Even if she wasn't solely after the tempting reward, she was equally eager to know her true strength and what level of position she held in District 2333.

At this moment, Jiang sat quietly on the soft and comfortable sofa, as if her whole body was tightly wrapped by an invisible sense of fatigue, and she seemed to have lost all the strength to even move a finger.

A crystal-clear message emanated from her body—it's time for a good rest!

Nevertheless, Jiang An calmly and leisurely raised his arm and turned on the light screen in front of him.

Upon entering that familiar area channel, her eyes narrowed sharply.

The reason is simple: the number of people displayed above has changed dramatically: [12763/100000].

Back then, a full 100,000 people gathered here!

But now only a mere ten thousand people remain.

These shocking figures are truly appalling, and what's worse is that the severe cold and natural disasters are far from over!

Jiang An stared at the countdown displayed on the screen, thinking to himself, "There are still three full days until this severe natural disaster completely ends... So how many people will survive after three days? I'm afraid there will be very few players left here..."

At this moment, she seemed to be tightly bound by an invisible fear, to the point that she had lost all courage to even reach out and open her private messages.

Every time my gaze sweeps over that small envelope icon in the upper right corner of the screen, an endless sense of unease and anxiety wells up inside me, fearing that my old friends will vanish like ghosts, leaving behind only a chilling gray expanse.

Just then, a familiar yet mechanical voice suddenly rang out.

[Time's up! The rankings will now be announced!]

Jiang An suddenly came to her senses and realized with a start that it was already 8 p.m.

However, at this moment, her heart, which should have been pounding wildly because of the upcoming list, was surprisingly calm as still water, and even her long-standing fervent anticipation for the list could not stir up the slightest ripple.

[First Place: He Zizhou, 476 Ice Bears!]

Upon hearing this message, Jiang An couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise.

She truly hadn't expected He Zhizhou to be so powerful.

[Second Place: Jiang An, 457 Ice Bears!]
