For the next few days, the daily routine was pretty much the same.

Every morning at 10 o'clock, kill the pollutants who don't know what's good for them and take away the delivery boxes they bring.

The rest of the time was spent watching the live stream while eating and drinking until the 7th day of the "Doomsday Delivery" event.

Today, a group of mutated octopuses arrived.

[Mutant Octopus Courier: Level 1 Pollutant, 500 HP, 30 Attack, 15 Speed, 30 Defense.]

The mutated octopus's attributes are too abnormal. Not only is its attack power high, but its defense value is also so high, and its speed is ridiculously fast. These values ​​are several times that of a zombie!

This game is utterly inhuman!

There were just too many mutated octopuses. Even with two robots in front of her, Gu Mian still felt immense pressure.

Moreover, these are just two auxiliary robots, not combat robots. Their forte is not combat, but assisting players in handling shelter affairs.

In the past few days, we relied entirely on brute force to suppress them, but now, facing the octopus monster with its high attack and defense, the drawbacks have become apparent.

A gray tentacle covered in suction cups flew past the robot at incredible speed and fell heavily over Gu Mian's head.

Gu Mian was startled and quickly retreated.

With a "crack," the ice surface beneath my feet was instantly struck, creating a fissure that then rapidly split open to reveal the dark seawater beneath.

Gu Mian belatedly broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, she dodged quickly. If she hadn't reacted in time and had been hit by the tentacle, she definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

The tentacles missed their first attack and quickly launched a second one. This time, they were grabbed by Robot 1, uprooted, and then swung around violently.

Gu Mian followed behind Robot No. 1 and, seizing the opportunity, lashed out with her whip.

[Health -100]

Gu Mian gritted her teeth; the mutated octopus had far too much health, so she could only look for an opportunity to continue attacking.

[Health -100]

[Health -100]

...

After four consecutive attacks, a flash of white light appeared, and the octopus's health bar was emptied, causing it to disappear instantly.

With a "bang," a cardboard box landed heavily on the ice.

Finally, it's over... But before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, another tentacle attacked!

grass!

When will this ever end?!

Anger spurred Gu Mian to increase her attack speed. Wielding the Serpent Whip, she nimbly dodged the attacks of the octopus tentacles, occasionally squeezing in a counterattack.

After cleaning up this wave of octopus contaminants, Gu Mian was so exhausted that she collapsed on the ice floe.

The ice surface in this area had been almost completely destroyed by the octopus tentacles, with floating ice of all sizes everywhere. Gu Mian was lying on a floating ice about two meters wide.

[Congratulations to the player who successfully defended the shelter! The "Doomsday Delivery" event has now concluded successfully!]

Players who successfully defend the shelter will receive a hidden reward: a "Golden Treasure Chest *1". Players who fail to defend the shelter will be transformed into new employees of the Doomsday Deliveryman!

The weekly event "Protect the Shelter" is now live.

[The Doomsday Deliveryman is rapidly recruiting new employees. Players, please be vigilant and do your best to protect your shelter from being transformed!]

Looks like we'll have to have a shelter siege every week from now on?

Gu Mian gritted her teeth and propped herself up, taking out a bowl of sweet vegetable porridge from her backpack and eating it in small bites.

Lying on the ice for too long causes rapid loss of body temperature, and hands and feet become numb from the cold.

After finishing a bowl of beet porridge, her body quickly warmed up, and she regained strength in her hands and feet. Only then did Gu Mian have the energy to pay attention to the condition of the two robots.

Robot 1/2 is constantly retrieving delivery boxes from the ice surface. Because the ice surface has been broken into many pieces by the octopus tentacles, many delivery boxes have fallen into the sea.

Fortunately, the delivery boxes that fall into the sea usually get stuck in the middle of the ice floes and don't sink and drift away with the current.

"Number 1, take me back to the cabin first, then come and pick up the package."

The distance between the ice floes was quite large, and she estimated that it would be difficult to jump across them.

"Yes, Master." Robot No. 1 put down the express box it had just picked up, jumped to Gu Mian's side, and then bent down to pick her up in a princess carry.

grass!

You're a robot, but you're surprisingly boyfriend material!

Robot No. 1 escorted Gu Mian back to the cabin and thoughtfully placed her on the sofa before turning around to continue picking up delivery boxes.

Gu Mian: "..."

Good, good, good!

You're a robot, and you know quite a lot!

Although she ate a bowl of beet porridge, Gu Mian's body was exhausted from the battle, and she had only recovered a little strength.

Gu Mian nestled on the sofa, lazily took out a piece of chocolate, tore open the wrapper, popped it into her mouth, and then opened the chat channel.

At this moment, all the players were talking about the latest news about the system.

"Oh my god! Will I have to face these bizarre pollutants every week from now on?"

"Upstairs, there's another way: you become one of these pollutants too!"

"Fuck you, I haven't had enough of being a human yet!"

"Will we be relying on weekly events to obtain supplies from now on?"

"The system only says to protect the shelter and prevent it from being turned into pollutants, but it doesn't seem to mention any delivery rewards, right?"

"Damn! Watson, you've found the blind spot!"

"This idiot game is getting more and more inhumane!"

"Upstairs, watch your wording. It wasn't even a human being."

The chat channel was silent for a moment before someone sent a message: "My friend's profile picture turned red. Does that mean he's been turned into a pollutant?"
