All the contestants who heard the rules turned pale. This second level was simply hellish. Let alone whether they could successfully get out, even surviving here would be a difficult thing.

【Hey, what's wrong? Why do they all look so pale?】

I don't know, I think they explained the rules, but now I can't hear anything from inside at all.

The ruins collapsed so perfectly, there's practically nowhere to step.

There's no other way but to move things out first and make room for sleeping.

She picked up a steel rod and used it as a fulcrum to find the lowest point of the collapsed ruins. Using the steel rod, she moved all the surrounding debris away.

A gray haze suddenly rose from the horizon, slowly pressing down from above.

There's not much time left. The smoke and ruins alone are enough to give the contestants a hard time. No wonder so many people were eliminated in the second round.

Although you can request help through the live stream, these places are full of unexpected events, and sometimes you simply can't react in time.

She quickened her pace, trying to move aside the few shaky pieces of rubble first, leaving the more stable ones.

Before long, the smoke completely subsided, filling her vision.

It's over.

It's not done yet.

Wow, I can't see anything inside at all; the smoke has completely covered everything.

Ugh, so boring, I'm not watching anymore. All I can see is a gray blur, nothing else.

[Add one, add one, then cancel, cancel.]

The number of viewers in the live stream was decreasing sharply. Mu Qingyun pressed down on the ruins beneath her to make sure they were sturdy enough before gently sitting down.

This model allows players to adjust their biological clock, resting during the day and hunting at night.

"Hiss, hiss..."

A rustling sound of crawling and the sound of a snake sticking out its tongue came from behind.

Mu Qingyun simply closed her eyes and listened to the sounds.

The direction of southeast.

A small flame appeared on her fingernail, and she threw it sharply in the direction the sound came from.

"Hiss—"

"Crack."

The sounds of burning flames and the screech of snakes simultaneously entered her ears. With a helpless sigh, she curled up into a ball as much as possible.

The fire illuminated an indistinct gray mist, and the surrounding ruins were not just ruins; they also contained various plastic bags, scraps of cloth, and other such items.

She feared that if she set a fire to protect herself, she would not only fail to protect herself but also be burned to death by the fire she set.

It's really difficult.

She listened intently to the sounds around her, not daring to move, waiting for night to fall.

After waiting for a while, she didn't know how long, but her legs started to go numb from holding one position for too long, so she had to reach out and rub them to relax her muscles.

Sigh, this year's contestants are really having a tough time. The Mid-Autumn Festival is supposed to be a time for family reunion, but they're stuck in this dangerous place. One wrong move and they could die.

As night fell, the gray fog began to slowly dissipate.

Mu Qingyun looked at the dissipating gray mist beside her and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

I stood up, supporting myself with my hands, and my vision cleared completely.

Turning my head, I saw something burnt in the spot where I had been before.

Picking up the steel rod, she continued moving pieces of rubble. Before dawn the next day, she had to find herself a safe place to live.

It's impossible for her not to sleep every day.

The sound of crackling and popping filled the air as she moved some of the rubble by hand, leaving her hands covered in cuts and scratches, but she seemed oblivious and continued moving them.

Around midnight, she finally managed to clear a space.

She surrounded the rubble that had been moved out, clearing a protected open space in the middle. After looking at it, she finally used her plant-based abilities.

She tentatively called out for a while, and sure enough, not long after, her army of ants and mice arrived.

"Warrior, what brings you here?" The rat leader touched his red eyes and asked tentatively.

"Please have a few of you guard me during the day. If anything happens, wake me up immediately," Mu Qingyun said to them in her mind.

"No problem, leave it to us." The rat leader responded, turning to look at the ant army beside him. The two species could only communicate by gesturing wildly, allocating the time they would spend guarding her each day.

After watching them chatter for a while, a few mice remained, while the rest all retreated.

Several mice surrounded her, forming a group.

Nighttime is the time for searching.

In this place full of ruins, it's easy to get lost.

Wait a minute, before we came in, it seems the military academy gave everyone a compass!

Thinking of this, she quickly began to search through the storage bag, and sure enough, she found it.

That's great! With this, at least we won't get lost.

Holding a compass, she headed south.

The first light of dawn slowly spread across the horizon, and the night was about to end, but after walking for so long, she still hadn't found anything.

"Help! Help! Help!"

Just as she was about to head home, a faint sound suddenly came from beneath the ruins. She turned her head and saw that the sound was coming from under the rubble.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to offer any help.

She didn't want to challenge human nature; the first hurdle was that she chose to join a group because it required teamwork.

Kazel later came to her simply because he was a mermaid, which happened to appeal to her aesthetic sensibilities. At the time, Yi Beixuan was just someone she admired because of his charm.

He turned to walk back to his makeshift shelter, but in front of him, from the scattered rubble, tiny, shrunken insectoid creatures crawled out.

Compared to a deserted island, it's just a bit smaller in size.

She drew a dagger from her side and looked at the situation in front of her. The insectoids were still crawling out and densely surrounding her.

She glanced around and estimated there were about twenty of them surrounding her.

...

"It's over, her luck is really bad." The professor shook his head helplessly as he looked at the surveillance footage provided by the military academy.

This child is truly lucky.

In the first round, he happened to be on the same team as Qi Luo, and Qi Luo even took a liking to him and brought him to the military academy.

But this was the first time he had ever seen more than twenty Zerg emerge from their nest on the very first day he disturbed it.

"There's no other way but to use fire. I just hope the fire doesn't set the surrounding area on fire." The doctor zoomed in on the scene and looked at the surrounding terrain.

This level is not friendly to those with fire, earth, or water abilities.

In this terrain, fire could cause a fire, the soil is buried under ruins and it would be difficult to use, not to mention water, where is there any water here?

...

"Help, help me!"

A faint sound could still be heard not far behind.

Mu Qingyun was puzzled. Why didn't these insectoids come out when that person was here for so long? Well, as soon as she arrived, they all came out.

I'm speechless.
