The helicopter was circling in the sky, and the rescue team members looked down and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Does this really exist? There's actually an island in Laocheng!"

His hometown is Laocheng. Although he hasn't been back for many years, he still can't mistake the geographical features of his hometown.

However, what I see before my eyes is not an illusion.

The members tried hard to suppress their pounding hearts and waited for the rescue team leader's instructions.

The captain looked at the gradually enlarging island with a complicated expression.

Seven days ago, people all over the country suddenly saw a live broadcast on TV.

In the picture, a young man in disheveled clothes is holding a document and reading something.

With every word of truth he uttered, the audience outside the screen was shocked.

The news shocked Kyoto.

As the captain of the rescue team, he immediately led the team to the rescue.

But they greatly underestimated the disaster in Laocheng.

For some reason, the air currents above Laocheng were as turbulent as a whirlpool. They rolled rapidly, isolating Laocheng from the outside world.

It took the rescue team seven full days to rush in when the air flow eased slightly.

They thought Laocheng must be in a state of tragedy.

Who knew that after flying in, I would find an island below!

There are coconut trees, bamboo forests, farmlands and even small wooden houses on the island. People live there in a very harmonious atmosphere, and there is no sign of panic caused by a major disaster.

At this moment, he even thought he had walked into the wrong city.

Helicopters landed over the city one after another.

Seeing this, Song Yue hurriedly pushed Chu Xinghe out and said bluntly that this water city would be under his control from now on. He could own it himself or hand it over to the country. In short, she would no longer interfere.

Chu Xinghe originally wanted to refuse her, but Song Yue acted faster than she spoke and transferred the ownership of Water City to him before she could even finish her instructions.

A floating panel he had never seen before appeared in front of him.

It took him a while to understand and digest that there really were things in this world that science could not explain.

Otherwise, how can we understand the island that appeared out of nowhere? How can we analyze the logic of its operation? And how can we explain the unusual existence of Song Yue?

Chu Xinghe looked at her, knowing that she had too many secrets.

But he didn't intend to delve into it further, nor did he plan to tell the rescue team the truth.

Sometimes the truth is very important. For example, the real cause of the disaster in Qianhe Lake and Laocheng must be reported.

But sometimes the truth is not so important, like Song Yue and her island.

She saved Laocheng and the people. Just confirming this is enough.

Day 28 of the copy.

Song Yue lay on the single bed, eating food and watching TV in a relaxed manner.

Ever since Chu Xinghe surrendered to the Water City, all the survivors in the city have been arranged by the authorities to a safe relief center.

The entire nation was watching this incident closely, and the authorities did not dare to slack off. They arranged the best rooms and provided the most abundant food for the survivors.

The neighboring Qianzuru Lake was also rescued.

Unfortunately, the disaster at Qianhe Lake was too severe and broke out so quickly that when the rescue team arrived, the entire scenic area was filled with floods, dead branches and corpses, with not a single living person to be seen.

Because the scene was too tragic, the camera only quickly scanned it a few times before turning away.

Song Yue felt a little regretful that she didn't see the hardware store owner Huang An, the woman with the girl, and the chef.

Everyone has their own destiny, and she has done her best.

Day 29 of the copy.

Zheng Yuexi came knocking on the door and said she wanted to talk about what happened before and ease the relationship between them.

Song Yue had already heard from Sister Mei that she had cursed him behind his back, so he sneered and replied with two words through the door - "No way".

He ate and used the original owner's things in the academy and even spread rumors about the original owner.

Is this kind of person worthy of having a relationship with her?

The 30th day of the copy.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the required task 1]

[The novice dungeon has been cleared, and the lifespan value is being calculated...]

[This instance grants a total of 75 life points]

[The first time the quester clears the dungeon, they will receive a newcomer gift pack]

[The next instance will be opened in the early morning of August 1st, please prepare in advance]

[Leaving the current instance...]

Song Yue was lying on the bed, and everything went dark before her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the familiar room.

She placed her cell phone next to her pillow, turned over and pressed the unlock button: July 1, 00:01.

Just like what the system said, no matter how long you stay in the dungeon, it will only be one second in reality.

She breathed a long sigh of relief. This novice copy was more difficult than she had expected. If she hadn't obtained the item cocktail in time, she really didn't know how she would have survived the last three weeks.

"099, are you sure this is a novice copy?" Song Yue looked at the ceiling, the more he thought about it, the more he felt cheated.

[Based on backend calculations, this system confirms that the difficulty level is novice]

"Bullshit!" She sat up and counted on her fingers for 099. "Flood, heavy rain, city collapse, oh, and I have to dig up and turn in secrets. This is actually a beginner's book?"

[Returning quests, this system will only select one core disaster for rating. In addition, the instance trajectory is unpredictable, so there may be slight errors in the rating results. This is normal.]

Song Yue:?

Okay, she admitted it.

At least she made it out alive, didn't she?

In the quiet of the night, Song Yue tossed and turned in bed, thinking about her experience in the copy, and her mind could not calm down for a long time.

"099," she thought in her head, "Is the replica world real?"

【yes】

"Then after I leave the dungeon, what will happen to me in the dungeon?"

[When returning to the tasker, the original owner's mind will automatically return to the body, and there will be no unattended situation.]

"Does she know what I've done this month?"

【Know】

"Wouldn't she feel very strange?"

[Please rest assured, this situation will not occur. This system has corrected the original owner's consciousness, and she will understand that this is her own spontaneous behavior.]

Song Yue was silent, feeling somewhat inexplicably melancholy.

She tried hard to survive and save people, but in the end she was just a passer-by in another world.

But at the same time, she felt lighter.

Fortunately, she was just a passer-by and would return after completing her mission. Otherwise, leaving behind any ties would only make the burden on my shoulders heavier.

Taking a deep breath, she changed the subject: "I want to see the newbie gift pack."

System: [OK]

Consciousness changes accordingly.

She stood in the white void, with a gift box tied with a pink ribbon floating in front of her.

Emm, I have a somewhat straight male aesthetic for some reason.

She complained silently, and when her fingers touched the gift box, the ribbon automatically untied and golden light emerged from the box.

[Obtain comfrey potion*1, simple bandage*1, simple □□*1]

【Lithospermum officinale medicated:

Quality: Ordinary

Efficacy: Has a certain hemostatic function and can treat minor wounds.

【Simple bandage:

Quality: Ordinary

Efficacy: Certain hemostatic function]

【Simple □□：

Quality: Ordinary

Durability: 10/10

Description: Range: 5 meters

Two healing items and one weapon.

Well enough.

Song Yue thought it was good and accepted it with satisfaction.

But she still asked one more question: "How many categories are there of quality?"

[There are four categories of task returners, from low to high: ordinary, excellent, sophisticated, and outstanding]

"Is it true that the higher the level of the dungeon you participate in, the better the quality of the items you get?"

【yes】

Song Yue had a plan in mind and exited the white void.

The system suddenly asked her: [Do you want to check the upgraded space? ]

Song Yue:!

She almost forgot that there was still space!

"Check!"

[Your space has been upgraded to level 2, current size: 20m*20m*20m]

Upgraded!

Much bigger than before!

Song Yue's eyes lit up as she stood in the center of the space, observing with joy.

The supplies that originally filled up 125 cubic meters now only occupied a small corner and looked very inconspicuous.

That’s great! Song Yue’s blood was boiling. The space had expanded, and she could let go and stock up boldly!

[Also, a reminder to the tasker: the space power supply system has been turned on, and you have received 2 free sockets. Would you like to install them now?]

Yes, there is also the power supply system we mentioned before!

Song Yue put his hands behind his back and walked around in the space, thinking about where to put the socket.

As the space becomes larger in the future, furniture and appliances will definitely need to be placed in it. At that time, where will the TV socket be placed, where will the washing machine socket be placed... Well, these are all things that need to be thought about carefully.

As if sensing the confusion in her mind, the system: [Socket can be moved]

Song Yue: "Free?"

System; [1 point exchanged once]

She knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"But what are points?" She only has lifespan value.

[Points can be exchanged for lifespan points at a 1:1 exchange rate. Since you are currently in debt, the exchange and mall functions are not yet enabled. Please work hard, and you can enjoy the mall functions after paying off your debts.]

Oh my goodness, then she has to clear the next copy before she can see the mall.

But it’s okay, at least she got a big gift package and had props in her hands, so she didn’t have to panic.

After walking around the space, she finally decided on the location of the socket.

In the future, we’ll put the washing machine and dryer here and the TV there.

Exiting the space, my thoughts gradually calmed down.

A dreamless night.

The next morning, when Song Yue got up, she found her parents already sitting in the living room. Both of them looked tired, with anxiety in their eyes.

Seeing her walk out of the room, the two men almost jumped up instantly and surrounded her.

"Xiaoyue, you're back." Lin Xiaojuan hugged her, her voice choked with sobs.

Song Yue was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her hand and hugged her mother back: "Mom, I'm here."

Song Tianyuan was too embarrassed to hug his daughter, but he couldn't help but wipe away his tears as he stood beside her. "Your mother was so worried last night. Didn't you enter that dungeon? Who knew how dangerous it was? Your mother and I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep."

"What are you talking about? It's all your fault!" Lin Xiaojuan suddenly released her embrace and angrily scolded Song Tianyuan, "I said I'd go into the bedroom to check on our daughter, but you said you were afraid to disturb her while she was doing her quest in the dungeon. I've been patient, but the more I think about it, the more worried I get."

"Well, didn't you agree in the middle of the night? I said my daughter was sleeping soundly and should be fine, but your mother was even more anxious. She kept asking if you had fainted and wanted to check your breathing. Oh, Xiaoyue, you don't know. Your mother was really going crazy last night."

He was clearly joking with his mother, but Song Yue could clearly see tears in his father's eyes.

Her nose felt sore and her eyes couldn't help but moisten. "Mom and Dad, don't worry. Didn't I tell you that no matter how long you stay in the dungeon, it's only a second in real life. In fact, I was back one second after midnight last night."

"Is that really the case?" Lin Xiaojuan breathed a sigh of relief, stroking her chest. "That's great! I was worried you wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night. It turns out you've already returned."

Song Tianyuan also relaxed and asked something else: "How long did you stay in the dungeon this time?"

Song Yue: "One month."

"That's quite long..." Song Tianyuan murmured, and his brows couldn't help but frowned again, "You are inside..."

The two finally let go of their tension. Song Yue didn't want to make them worry again because of this, so she quickly changed the subject: "Mom and Dad, I'm hungry. Let's have breakfast first."

The last thing a parent can do is hear their child say they're hungry. Lin Xiaojuan immediately said, "Okay, Mom will make you breakfast right away."

Song Tianyuan followed behind Lin Xiaojuan: "Then I'll help you."

Looking at the two busy figures in the kitchen, Song Yue raised the corners of her mouth unconsciously.

This meal was even more sumptuous than the previous ones.

It was obvious that her parents were very happy about her safe return, so they prepared a variety of breakfasts, including steamed eggs, pancakes, pot stickers, dumplings, brown sugar rice cakes, red bean paste buns, etc.

Since the three of them couldn't finish it, Song Yue put it all in the space.

"Xiao Yue, didn't you say that the space is not big enough? Can it still fit more?" Song Tianyuan asked her cautiously.

Song Yue smiled and said, "The space has been upgraded. It's now 8,000 cubic meters. You can put as much food as you want."

"Oh, it can be upgraded, that's great~" Song Tianyuan nodded with satisfaction.

After breakfast, Song Yue put the water tank and diesel at home into the space. Anyway, they could be stored now. In the next month, she could just go in and get them if needed.

That night, it was still raining heavily outside, with no sign of stopping.

Early the next morning, July 2, City C issued an emergency notice, temporarily suspending all entertainment and daily activities in the city. Except for relevant government staff and rescue teams, everyone else was confined to their homes and was not allowed to travel.

Netizens were shocked when they received the news.

"How long will this stay like? What if the family doesn't have enough food?!"

"You just closed it down, but have you ever considered what ordinary people eat?"

"What should I do? I only have two buckets of instant noodles left at home, and there are five people in my family. Can anyone help me deliver some food to my house?"

"Are the people above stupid? It's already this late, and they don't even have enough to eat, yet they're giving it back to your family?"

"Everyone, don't panic. My dad works for the government. He responded to the call and went out this morning. I believe he will be able to solve the food problem for everyone soon."

"But even so, our food reserves won't last until the relief efforts arrive! Can anyone give me a definitive answer as to when the food will be distributed?"

There is a lot of noise online, and people are saying all kinds of things.

Song Yue just flipped through it and left the discussion.

But Lin Xiaojuan and Song Tianyuan were still flipping through their phones, constantly scrolling through certain audio and short videos, from which they could hear the crying and pleading voices of the people filming, which was so heartbreaking to hear.

"Oh, it's so tragic... This old man has been bedridden for a long time and uses oxygen to maintain his life, but now there is not enough oxygen in the oxygen machine. The person who took the video is his granddaughter, who is crying and begging everyone for help." Lin Xiaojuan looked at the mobile phone and sighed.

"It's me too. The person filming this is a husband. His wife is in labor and there's no one to deliver the baby. He's so anxious he's running around in circles." Song Tianyuan frowned, empathizing with the man. "If our Xiaoyue was giving birth and there wasn't a doctor around, I'd be so anxious!"

Song Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad, I'm not even married yet."

Lin Xiaojuan quickly said "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh" and said, "Others are others. It's one thing for us to feel sympathy for them, but don't always blame everything on your daughter. She's doing fine, why are you saying such depressing things?"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Song Tianyuan admitted his mistake quickly, thus avoiding being lectured by Lin Xiaojuan.

Three days passed in a flash. On July 5, the weather station reported that today's heavy rain would turn into moderate rain.

There was speculation online that today would be a turning point, after which the rain would gradually subside.

Some people support it, while others oppose it.

But there has been no official official statement from the authorities.

Some observant observers sensed something and offered their analysis: "Since the authorities haven't yet expressed their views, will the rain continue?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the internet, which had finally calmed down, exploded again.

"It's over, it seems like this is really possible!"

"What should we do? It's been several days. Has the authorities simply given up on us?"

"This won't do! No, everyone, speak up online! Amplify public opinion! We can't let this go to waste!"

Anxious public opinion filled the entire Internet. Song Yue sighed lightly, feeling powerless to do anything about it.

In my previous life, it took two weeks for the government to deliver relief food.

Even though it took two full weeks, this was a very fast response for Country Z, which had been developing in peacetime for decades.

It is only the fifth day of July, and there are still nine days before residents can receive relief food.

While thinking, Lin Xiaojuan suddenly stood up and looked towards the balcony: "There seems to be something in the sky."

Song Tianyuan sighed: "It's raining so hard that even the birds don't dare to come out. What can happen?"

Lin Xiaojuan turned around and glared at Song Tianyuan: "If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself."

Song Yue vaguely heard the sound of propellers in the rain. While she was distracted, her finger accidentally swiped across the screen and a new post appeared instantly.

#I'm calling, there's a helicopter outside, did you see it? #

#Brothers and sisters, the government has distributed food! The children who have been hungry for three days are saved! #

#My mom asked me why I was crying, because this is the power of Guo Jia’s father! #

Song Yue was stunned.

It’s only the 5th, and the authorities have already sent a helicopter?

She hurried to the balcony and pressed her face against the glass.

It’s true!

There are three helicopters!

At the same time, a loud speaker blared through the community: "Residents of Nanshan Community, please bring your ID cards, go to the rooftop in an orderly manner, register your personal information, and receive relief food. Residents of Nanshan Community, please bring your ID cards, go to the rooftop in an orderly manner, register your personal information, and receive relief food..."

Lin Xiaojuan was stunned: "The country is moving so fast!"

Song Tianyuan was also stunned for a moment, with his mouth half open, not knowing how to sigh.

The two were surprised because it had only been a few days and the government had acted quickly to deliver food to the residents.

But Song Yue was because...

The time point has been advanced!

The time of the rainstorm has not changed, but the time when the government takes action has changed.

What does this mean?

An idea suddenly popped up in Song Yue’s mind—there is someone in the official circle!

And that person is very likely to be reborn!

Residents of the community, some wearing raincoats and some holding umbrellas, ran to the rooftops of their homes.

Each person receives a five-day supply of relief food, which can be collected with their ID card. If a family member is ill or unable to travel, family members can use their ID card to collect the food.

In short, the food delivered this time is enough and residents will definitely not starve to death at home.

Song Yue and her parents also went to collect it.

Their family is not short of food for the time being, but since the government is distributing it, they are also eligible to receive it.

Whether going up or down the stairs, Song Yue saw happy faces on people's faces, and the gloom of not having enough food to eat in the past few days was all swept away.

When she got home, she opened the food bag and found rice balls, boiled cabbage, pork slices, roasted chicken, apples, and milk.

It seems that we are well prepared this time.

Although he didn't know who was reborn inside, Song Yue thought that at least everyone could be saved this time.

Unlike the happy residents of the community, Zou Chen suppressed his temper in the guesthouse.

"Mom, can't you be more careful? You even lost your ID card?"

He had hit a wall with Song Yue a couple of days ago, and on the way back he got caught in the rain and accidentally caught a cold. He had thought that he would be in a better mood today because he could get food, but it turned out that his mother had lost her ID card!

What is going on?

Seeing that other people were lining up to get their gifts, he didn't know what to do.

Maybe... talk to the government and get registered?

Thinking of this, he pulled Zou's mother along and said, "Never mind, let's get in line first!"

While waiting, Zou's mother couldn't help cursing.

"What kind of people are there in this city? They even steal ID cards! Shameless!"

"Can't you see I'm old? You little thief, don't you have any shame? Pah!"

"I don't think there's anything good about this city. It's even worse than my three-story house. It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It's much better than this!"

More and more eyes were looking at him, and Zou Chen poked his mother: "Mom, please stop talking."

Zou's mother rolled her eyes: "What's the matter? Why don't you let your mother speak?"

Zou Chen was speechless, pinching his eyebrows and feeling a headache.

Finally it was their turn, and Zou Chen explained.

The staff didn't make things difficult for them and asked them to fill in their identity information.

He took a pen and paper, quickly wrote down his name and ID number, and received a portion of food.

When writing to Zou's mother, he looked up and asked her, "Mom, what's your number?"

Zou's mother glared at him, "How should I know? Didn't you remember the number for me?"

Zou Chen got a headache when he heard this: "Didn't my phone get soaked in water on the way home that day? It wouldn't open. How could I have looked it up for you? Mom, think about it yourself. You can't have no memory of it at all, right?"

The staff listened to their conversation and didn't know whether to give the food or not.

Zou's mother frowned and thought for a long time. After raising her eyelids, she saw that the staff member didn't seem to want to give it to her. She immediately became unhappy: "Hey, little girl, what do you mean by this action? Don't think I don't understand. Don't you want to give it to me?"

The staff sighed and said, "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but according to the regulations, you have to fill in your information."

"I have a bad memory, so what if I can't remember it? Are you going to starve me to death?" Zou's mother said as she walked forward and snatched the food from the staff's hands.

The staff rushed out: "Auntie! You have to register first!"

"I can't remember! I won't go up!"

"Then could you please write down your home address and contact information?"

Mother Zou desperately guarded the food and hid behind the table: "Ask my son, I can't even remember."

The staff had no choice but to turn to Zou Chen. Zou Chen thought about it again and again with a pen, and finally just slowly wrote down a vague big address.

"Is that all?" the staff asked.

Zou Chen was rather helpless: "My home address has changed several times. Later, I moved to City C and didn't go back often, so I can't quite remember it."

"What about your mother's phone number?"

"Her... I can't quite remember her number..." Zou Chen scratched the back of his head in annoyance.

The staff had no choice but to make a phone call and ask their superiors for instructions. After receiving the approval, they allowed Zou's mother to take the things and leave.

"Tsk, city people are always fussy. I'm a grown-up, living person standing here, what proof do I need?"

"Mom!" Zou Chen raised his voice.

Only then did Zou's mother give up.

Back at the guesthouse, the mother and son opened their respective relief food packages.

"Boiled cabbage? That's too shabby, isn't it? Does the government need this little money?"

"Apples? Tsk, they're okay. I don't know how much pesticides they've sprayed on them."

"Milk? Let me see if it's expired, so I don't get diarrhea from it."

The moment she saw the food, Zou's mother started chattering again.

In the past, Zou Chen would have just listened and ignored it, after all, he grew up in such an environment.

But today, the more he listened, the more annoyed and anxious he became.

Finally, I lost my appetite, put the food on the table, and simply lay down on the bed.

Unfortunately, the quality of the beds in the guesthouse was not good, and in order to save money, he chose the cheapest one nearby.

When I lay down on my bed, my back felt uncomfortable.

Every time at this time, he would be particularly thinking about the fully furnished apartment in Song Yue's house. What great conditions it had. He had heard from Song Yue before that the mattress cost more than 6,000 yuan each. He wondered how comfortable it would be to sleep on it.

I just don’t know when her family will come back. When they get the letter, he will think of a way. Anyway, he must let himself and his mother move in!
