People inside the hotel also heard the shouts.

The group that had been standing in the corner of the restaurant had just recovered from their shock. They avoided the two corpses in the middle and also avoided the woman who was wrapped in the tablecloth.

She had called for help, but no one around dared to step forward to assist her, because those who tried to resist Liu Bing and his group had all died. Even if they were meddling in other people's business, they had to save their own lives first.

Upon hearing the sound of a boat stopping outside, the group rushed to the window. There was a boat! Could it be that someone had come to rescue them?

But the next second they saw Xiao Jin enter the rubber boat.

"Hey? Isn't that the guy who saved us just now? He actually has a boat!" The speaker's words carried a hint of ambiguity, as if he regretted not trying to get closer to Xiao Jin earlier.

At this moment, another person said, "What do you mean he saved us? He killed someone! Do you want to stay with a murderer forever?"

The person who spoke first fell silent.

"Bang!"

"Hiss~ Who?"

A loud bang was heard, and the man who said Xiao Jin was a murderer was kicked to the ground from behind. He clutched his knee and cursed as he turned around, only to see a woman wrapped in a tablecloth staring at him menacingly.

"Who are you calling a murderer?" the woman asked coldly, then raised the kitchen knife she had picked up from the ground earlier with her blood-covered hand.

The man nervously swallowed, turned around to look for help, and found himself in a small open space around him, with everyone keeping their distance.

The woman slashed the ground hard with the knife, the sharp tip of which was less than a finger's width away from the man's thigh.

The man yelled, "No, no, no! There's no murderer! I didn't say anything! I wasn't thinking straight!"

Seeing the woman pull the cleaver back, the man quickly scrambled away and fled the scene.

The woman turned her head and looked in the direction Xiao Jin had left, her eyes thoughtful. After a while, she seemed to have figured something out. She went into the hotel's kitchen, took some bottled water and food with a longer shelf life, and put them in a bag.

After washing off the stains, I changed into a clean set of work clothes, found a large plastic basin for washing vegetables, and went downstairs with a baseball bat and the basin.

A few minutes later, a figure sitting in a basin gradually disappeared in front of the hotel.

...

Despite the shouts all around, Xiao Jin did not stop rowing.

Following the map she had bought, Xiao Jin slid outwards from the city center, stopping to rest whenever she felt tired, making sure she always had enough energy.

After rowing intermittently for five hours, Xiao Jin moored the boat in a covered, dilapidated building.

After finding a place to stay and taking care of personal hygiene, Xiao Jin sat back in the boat and took out a large insulated bag from her spatial storage.

The insulated bags were filled with orders placed with Chen Kai. Xiao Jin took out a large insulated box from it, opened the lid, and the fragrant aroma dispelled the damp chill in the surroundings.

Crab roe soup dumplings, poached chicken, pan-fried tofu, stir-fried shrimp, and some white rice—Xiao Jinxiang almost swallowed her tongue.

After eating and drinking to regain his strength, Xiao Jin left the spot and continued paddling forward. Just as he left, Xiao Jin casually glanced at the corner not far away.

A moment later she left, but left a small backpack behind.

A few minutes later, the backpack on the ground was picked up by a hand. The hand seemed to have been soaked in rainwater for a long time and had begun to wrinkle and turn white.

Zhao Xinran was soaking wet, and her lifeless expression showed a hint of emotion when she saw the raincoat and hand warmers in her backpack. She also found a lighter wrapped in a waterproof bag at the very back of the backpack.

Zhao Xinran pursed her lips, looked in the direction Xiao Jin left, and finally gave up chasing after him. She found some wooden furniture in the building and set it on fire.

...

As time passed, it gradually grew dark.

It was only a little past six o'clock, but Xiao Jin already had difficulty seeing her surroundings clearly.

She took out a small waterproof hanging lamp from the space, tied it to the outside of the waterproof cloth, and immediately illuminated the scene within a three-meter radius.

Although it was somewhat conspicuous, Xiao Jin had no choice but to turn on the lights for safety reasons.

Looking at the distance, she had already paddled about halfway. If she continued at this pace, she would probably reach Xitaishan around 11 p.m.

Xiao Jin's journey went quite smoothly. Apart from encountering floating obstacles and trash that required detours, he didn't encounter any other problems.

As night deepened, the rain began to intensify again, and the wind picked up.

Xiao Jin was struggling to row, but this only strengthened her desire to reach Xitai Mountain as quickly as possible, since tomorrow would be the fourth day of this round of the game.

With a exertion of his arm, Xiao Jin secretly increased his speed.

After rowing for more than an hour, Xiao Jin suddenly paused, then turned her face to the right.

There seemed to be some sound drifting over from that direction on the wind; it sounded like people, and more than one. At my current speed, I reckon they'll run into them soon.

In the distance, the waterline splits to both sides.

Five rubber boats, which looked much like Xiao Jin's, were sailing on the water, except that they were larger. In addition to backpacks of various sizes, four people were standing on each rubber boat.

"Hey? There's light over there!" A boy who looked like a well-behaved student shouted, pointing in Xiao Jin's direction.

The other man looked at the man sitting in front, his tone full of inquiry: "Boss Xiang?"

The man known as Boss Xiang had short, neat hair and a muscular build; he appeared to be a middle-aged man around forty years old.

At that moment, he was holding a telescope and looking towards the light.

After a long pause, he put his hand down to the boss and said, "Go take a look."

"Okay!"

At this moment, everyone in the group knew that there were people ahead, and they all stood up and became vigilant, after all, they had a lot of supplies with them.

They were lucky. When they were first thrown into this world by an unknown game, many people were confused and didn't know what to do. Then, a rainstorm came suddenly, and some people died in the rain. Fortunately, they met Boss Xiang.

The leader led them to collect supplies and found the information about Xitaishan.

According to Xiang Laoda's guess, he believed that the rain would get heavier in the next few days, and the high-rise buildings in the city would no longer be able to accommodate them. Xitaishan, being at a higher elevation, would become the only resettlement point in the surrounding area.

Xiao Jin never expected to encounter a player.

Upon seeing Boss Xiang and his group for the first time, Xiao Jin immediately recognized their identities.

The rainstorm came suddenly, but their group was well-equipped. Unlike Xiao Jin, who had a cheat code to buy supplies within three hours, the other side must have been prepared well in advance.
