Chapter 90 March 2nd Update

Late night 23:30

The air was flying above the objects. Meihua buried her little head in her wings. The two little birds stood together at the end of the bed, while Xinni lay beside them with her head tilted.

Seeing that the little ones were asleep, Yu Zhu raised his hand to take the remote control and turned off the projector. The room instantly became dim and quiet, while the whistling sea breeze outside became clearer.

Currently, only the wooden house and the greenhouse are fully enclosed buildings, while the remaining small and medium-sized ranches are semi-open, and the dog house does not even have a door.

Although every game has advanced players, there are more ordinary players, even noobs. The same is true for survival games. There are many players who have only bought a small ranch/doghouse. They do not have enough supplies and cannot stack buffs. Their lives will definitely be in danger that night.

Unfortunately, this game doesn't restart. We only have one life. Do rookies deserve to die? Are we destined to be eliminated by the survival of the fittest? Nearly half the players on this server are already dead. Isn't that enough?

Although she had known for a long time that the game missions were bad, Yu Zhu still felt a sense of heaviness. People are realistic and emotional. She couldn't be generous enough to help others selflessly, but she couldn't bear to see so many people going to destruction.

It was different from the elimination of players at the beginning. At that time, there were mostly good and bad players, and everyone was not familiar with each other. Whether others were dead or alive would not cause any impact on Yu Zhu. But after two tasks, those who could stay, no matter how bad they were, tried their best. Most of them even talked to her and made deals with her. She had a good memory, so she couldn't say that she remembered everyone, but when she saw the names in the chat area, she felt familiar everywhere.

Feng Miaoyi: My feet and legs are completely numb from the cold.

[Huai Bin: It was cold just now, but now I don’t feel cold anymore. Has the temperature finally warmed up? I don’t know. I’m so tired and sleepy. I think I might need a nap.]

[Mr. Liu: Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial son. I will have to let you send your son off when you are old.]

…

They were able to find a way to stack buffs in the previous mission, but this time it's so overwhelming that it's almost suffocating. So there's no way to go all out? This is their only hope.

Yu Zhu buried her face in the back of Xinni's head. She listened carefully. The howling wind and surging waves outside the window were cruel and merciless.

Waves, sea waves.

A flash of inspiration suddenly came to my mind.

She recalled the rippling water around the raft when she inspected it an hour ago. It looked no different than usual.

The answer is right in front of us.

It is known that water will freeze below 0 degrees. The temperature on the sea surface is obviously as low as dozens of degrees below zero, but the sea water does not freeze, which means that the temperature in the sea is above zero.

This situation is just like what the players in the chat area said, it is unscientific, but people come to the sea to survive, and there are too many unscientific things. It is precisely because of the unscientific nature that there are opportunities.

Yu Zhu opened the chat area again and typed out a line of words, which seemed particularly humorous among the many lifeless comments.

[Yu Zhu: Perhaps, have you ever thought about winter swimming?]

When these words were spoken, many players were stunned. They would freeze to death in the sea.

[Feng Miaoyi: This joke actually made me shudder TAT]

[Huai Bin: Boss Yu, your words are so cold, but they are still a little warmer than the temperature outside.]

Yu Zhu: If you really can't stand the cold, you might as well jump into the sea.

[Chen Yuexin: Wuwuwu, although I once said that I wanted to scatter my ashes in the sea after my death, if I jump directly into the sea, wouldn’t that mean I won’t even have to scatter my ashes~]

Fu Wanwan: Sisters, cheer up! No, you misunderstood me! Wang Duoyu: Wait, Master! I understand! Didn't you notice that the sea isn't frozen?

A word can wake a person up from a dream.

Players had been huddled in their buildings long before dark, roasting themselves by the bonfire and sipping warm soup. They were practically freezing, so how could they dare wander outside? They thought they weren't dying fast enough. Even if they wanted to exercise and generate heat, they'd just run around inside, completely unconcerned with the water's conditions. After all, who could have imagined that the sea and the surface of the water were two different temperatures?

But after Yu Zhu and others reminded them, the players finally understood the intention.

Out of trust in the boss, some players immediately ran out to see what was happening. The feeling of facing the cold wind head-on was so sour and refreshing, like being slapped in the face. However, they still rushed to the edge of the raft with determination, and sure enough, they saw the dark, flowing sea water.

As beautiful as the sea is during the day, it is as terrifying at night, but at this moment there is no time to be afraid.

The players immediately took off all their clothes and dived into the sea. Unexpectedly, they felt very warm.

The limbs that had been frozen on the raft were slowly melted by the temperature of the sea. Only the head needed to be exposed above the sea to move the bonfire over.

At this time, drinking a bowl of the cold-resistant soup I had prepared, the buff didn’t change, but it was just better and warmer than on the raft, and I finally felt alive again.

[Feng Miaoyi: My mom, my grandma, my cotton pants, my jacket, the sea is so warm!]

Huaibin: Thank you, Boss Yu, and thank you for the gift of nature. I feel like I can do it again!

Liu Sheng: Woohoo! Dad! Mom! I don't have to die! But I miss home so much! Woohoo! Woohoo!

…

When Yu Zhu learned that the method was really useful, he felt much better.

The game missions are indeed difficult, but it’s not a dead end yet. This is good news. Sometimes giving others hope is also giving yourself hope in the future.

Seeing someone getting up again to sell anti-cold soup, Yu Zhu yawned. Her vegetable soup recipe was also upgraded in the evening.

From the sales of fish soup, we can see that many people are trying fishing, and there are a lot of fish meat flowing out of her hands in the trading area, which leads to the fact that fish soup has no worries about selling. However, not everyone can afford fish meat. If they can't afford it, they can only buy vegetable soup or other cold-resistant soups.

Yu Zhu didn't plan to work overtime. After her tense spirit was relaxed, she felt sleepy. She rubbed Xinni's neck, and the fur was smooth and warm.

Although Xinni was injured while hunting wild boars and had bald spots here and there, at least the back of her head was still fine and very comfortable to rub!

His thoughts slowly drifted away, and Yu Zhu fell asleep.

The chat area changed from its previous dead silence to become lively again. Many people @喻竹 to express their gratitude, and everyone was in the mood to tease each other again.

Liu Jinlong: Your thinking is brilliant. Oh, why didn't I think of that before?

[Xiang Tianlei: @Yu Zhu, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I am willing to repay you with my life!]

[Mei Bei:? Behaviors such as repaying kindness with enmity are strictly prohibited!]

[Le Zhi: I think you are really crazy @Xiang Tianlei]

Qiu Jun: Haha, I guess your brain is frozen and rusted, and you're dreaming like a toad!

…

However, the good atmosphere did not last long, and new disasters followed.

The sea at night is always dangerous. Sharks came to check in as expected. The number of people displayed above the chat area has been decreasing since dark, but fortunately it has not dropped significantly and is still within an acceptable range.

Dou Wei: Help! There's a shark! The shark is coming! I'm still in the sea!

Wang Duoyu: Don't panic! Just grab your weapons and attack! Stab it to death with your spear!

Hu Xiangyang: Brother, is this your first day at sea? Aren't sharks always around?

[Chen Xinyue: Luckily, I anticipated this. I desperately stabbed the shark yesterday, severely injuring it, so it didn't come today! Hahaha!]

[Feng Miaoyi: Me too! I've stabbed countless spears at it. I guess that stinky shark is probably hiding somewhere in the trench recovering from its wounds! It's a shame I couldn't kill it. It's so cunning, running away when seriously injured. My attack power isn't enough to kill a shark with low health, but I think I'll be there soon. As long as I get through this mission, I'm confident I can kill it!]

【Luo Xincheng: Come on, girls, you’re great! 】

…

This was another sleepless night for many players. The sharks still took away some people in the sea, but more people survived. If they lacked strength, they could make up for it with intelligence. The sharks were old opponents. Those who could not figure out the rules and see the situation clearly would not die unjustly.

Players who did not encounter shark attacks and stayed in the sea would not be frozen to death, but it was definitely not comfortable for a long time. They finally took out ropes and tied themselves to the raft, for fear that they would not be able to hold on and sink when they fell asleep, or wake up to find that the raft was gone. The scene was suffocating just thinking about it.

People who are good at swimming simply relax their bodies and float on the sea, as comfortable as a corpse, just wanting to catch their breath.

In contrast, most of the players who remained on the raft started with two buildings. When the anti-cold soup ran out, they would drink hot water. They did not dare to sleep peacefully until they defeated the sharks and waited until the sky was slightly bright and the temperature rose before they dared to fall asleep. They even set an alarm before going to bed, for fear that they would sleep too deeply and miss the game news and daily minimum living allowance.

Only high-end players who bought greenhouses/wooden houses can fall asleep peacefully without distractions around 12 o'clock.

The night will eventually pass.

…

The fourteenth day of survival at sea.

The sun shone from one side of the window to the other, but Yu Zhu was still sleeping.

She always keeps her word. If she says she will sleep until noon, then she will definitely not get up even if the sun is shining on her butt!

Others were afraid that they would not be able to get up and make mistakes, so they set several alarms. However, Yu Zhu turned off the alarm on purpose. Even if the sky fell, it would not affect her sleep!

This is probably the last struggle of a working person. She will absolutely resist any possibility that may interfere with her rest on weekends.

The chat area and private messages were about to explode, but Yu Zhu remained unmoved. Even the task settlement sent by the game failed to wake her up, and they were all piled up in the unchecked message column.

After a long time, the little ones began to worry, after all, Yu Zhu would have woken up long ago in the past.

Even Meihua and Xinni had gone out on patrol for who knows how many rounds. Every time they came back to look at Yu Zhu, she hadn't moved at all. They could only watch over her and watch her sleep, not daring to say a word for fear of waking her up. As for the items, there were so many words that they were about to be blown away.

Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Why hasn't this woman woken up yet? Could she have fainted?

Simple Water Purifier No. 2: You're such a bad mouth! If you don't punish me for three days, I'll tear the tiles off the roof!

Simple Grill: No. 1, no one will think you are dumb if you don’t speak!

Simple bed: Her breathing is even and steady, don't worry, she is just asleep.

Simple Shed: She finally gets a break, let her sleep a little longer.

Game: I've never seen anyone sleep so well.

Game: You little guys, don’t you think she slept too long?

Game: Wrong? Wake up! Don't sleep! Ning is here for vacation!
