Yan Zi stared at the sky in a daze, her mind somewhat hazy.

Yesterday's lightning was incredibly powerful, striking her boat repeatedly from the bow. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would probably be a corpse adrift for miles by now.

After a night of thunder and lightning, she finally made it through. Yan Zi was stunned for a long time before finally bursting into tears.

"Waaaaah..."

The fear and anxiety that lasted all night finally stopped at dawn. At this moment, she was sobbing uncontrollably. Although she was wearing protective clothing, her whole body was numb.

The main reason was that she was in a thunderstorm area, and the lightning seemed to be targeting her small boat. No matter how she moved, if she slowed down even a little bit, she would be struck.

For this reason, she didn't dare to stop for the entire night, constantly controlling the sailboat's position. If her mental energy hadn't reached 10, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

After being struck by lightning one night, Yan Zi was somewhat out of control, but after crying for a while, she came back to her senses and started tidying up her things.

After calming herself down, she used the "Plant Spirit" skill on herself several times to bring her energy to 70% before preparing to eat.

This morning she didn't want to cook anything; she just planned to eat some dried meat, bread, and water.

I turned on the channel while eating.

This time, there are far fewer scrolling messages in the channel, and even when a few messages pop up, they pause properly!

Yan Zi's heart sank.

Something was not right. Sure enough, after seeing the number of survivors, her mood instantly plummeted!

The population, which originally numbered 80,000, has now plummeted to only 40,000...

That night, nearly half the population died!

Yan Zi couldn't imagine that perhaps those who died had experienced the same things as her, only they didn't have as many tools as she did, so...

Her mood suddenly became somewhat heavy, and she unconsciously slowed down her eating speed.

Today is only the sixth day, and so many people have already died before the system announcement time. What will happen on the last day...? Will everyone be wiped out?

Yan Zi felt uneasy at the thought. If lightning struck on the fifth day, what about the sixth? The sky remained dark and gloomy, making it impossible to tell what would happen that day.

Her face was ashen as she flipped through the official messages. Many people were expressing their gratitude to those who had provided special assistance, and Yan Zi was among them…

Yan Zi looked at the encouraging words everyone had exchanged, hesitated for a moment, and then simply sent a message: "Let's all cheer each other on and make sure we survive!"

After the message was sent, the channel was silent for a moment, followed by a series of repeated messages.

In just a few words, the sentence conveyed everyone's determination to live on, giving them a boost and courage in their otherwise gloomy hearts.

Yan Zi was also encouraged by the words on the screen, and her mood improved a lot.

Officials are still properly issuing upcoming tasks, urgently bringing everyone's strength together.

Yan Zi also looked at some of the tutorials above, and then started a new round of water-filling practice to improve her experience.

The water inside the "water-absorbing gourd" hadn't been completely drained yet, and she continued to frantically fill it with water all day without stopping.

She didn't come to her senses until the system notification sounded on the sixth day.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully surviving the fifth day and reaching the sixth day! As a reward, you will receive a Blue Light Treasure Chest. The chest contains a special skill that might save your life in a critical moment!]

Today's weather forecast: Cloudy with heavy rain and lightning. Please be careful and don't become a waterlogged mess! Just a heads up! Strong winds are expected today~ Hehe, let's fight!

Today's notification sound had a quirky feel to it, as if it was hinting at something?

Yan Zi was a little worried, but she still opened the Blue Light Treasure Chest. A blue light popped out of it, and when she touched it, it turned out to be a skill!

[Skill: Anti-Aerial Hand (E)]

[Special Effect: Nothing that passes by you will escape; anything that appears belongs to me (My rule is to use domineering and forceful methods of love)]

Looking at the skill descriptions and effects, Yan Zi couldn't help but think of using the phrase "plucking feathers from a passing goose" to describe it!

Seeing that the water in the wooden box had been dealt with, he decisively put it back into his backpack to continue packing.

After using one water-absorbing gourd, I changed the box again!

Having gained experience once, Yan Zi was able to carry two gourds to fill two boxes.

The speed has increased significantly, and experience points are also increasing rapidly.

She spent the whole day doing this, and as for the idea of ​​going into the water to retrieve seafood, she gave up on it after seeing her injuries.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go down, but the electric arcs in the water were still crackling, and she wasn't ready to commit suicide. So she was busy gaining experience and wasn't in a hurry to deal with anything else.

In addition, with the new skill "Anti-Air Hand", whenever any special item drops, you will get a notification as long as you float by its side, and then you can easily scoop it up.

They kept driving forward aimlessly, but still managed to collect eight blue treasure chests.

Yan Zi never expected to have such good luck today, especially after unlocking this skill. It didn't even require her to touch it; it was just a mystical concept!

Whether you get close or not, you'll be able to catch it!

Because of this, she also gained a lot of crystals and special potion materials, which was incredibly profitable. Even though she was exhausted today, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and the pain in her body didn't affect her at all.

She drank up all the basic healing potions and kept guzzling energy potions into her mouth.

Time waits for no one, and experience waits for no one either!

Yan Zi spent the entire day busy handling water. Fortunately, she had a wide variety of skills, and the day at sea allowed her to make some money, which eased some of her anxiety.

The bigger the storm, the more resources you get!

In a whole day, she filled 120 wooden boxes with water, which greatly increased her experience level, but the speed was still a bit slow, and she had not yet stepped into the next level.

She sighed deeply. This method was still too slow. After working hard all day, she had only managed to fill 1,200 liters of water, which was the amount of water in one "water-absorbing gourd".

But she had no other choice. No one else was willing to sell such large water storage equipment, and she couldn't find any new channels herself.

Despite shouting on the world channel for a long time, she still couldn't find a container with more than ten liters of water.

Even though she reluctantly offered to exchange it for an energy fruit, they still couldn't come up with a container for 1000 liters of water.

Everyone understands that this is the only way to quickly complete the task at this stage, so none of them are willing to trade; they all want to break through to level eight as soon as possible!

Level 8 is a watershed and a milestone; all these water resources are their experience points...
