Outside, a raging inferno of black fireworks roared everywhere, and feathers flying all over the ground highlighted their panicked escape and erratic behavior.
Yan Zi's heart was pounding, and she felt as if these things would come at her at any moment and tear her to shreds.
After a moment, she immediately checked the condition of her shelter, and sure enough, it had been damaged considerably by the crows.
She quickly poured in a large amount of crystals to repair the damage caused by the fall.
One by one, they fell down, like a flock of crows, tearing open one gash after another.
After a brief period of darkness, Yan Zi regained its light, with only a few scattered crows still flying in the sky.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully reaching day 22! How was it? Did you like the gift I gave you? Dark clouds looming overhead—did it feel like the end of the world? Hehe, I love this color the most! A hue full of destructive energy, poured over you, like a beautiful painting being drawn—it's so much fun!!!]
A piercing mechanical sound exploded in her mind.
Yan Zi was so angry that her scalp tingled and her heart was pounding. The fear of life and death she had just felt was really strong.
She almost thought she wouldn't make it.
[Congratulations on successfully surviving 21 days and overcoming three minor disasters! Everyone has received a green treasure chest. Due to the influx of black crows, which has had a significant impact on the desert region, another region merge is being conducted. All regions with a population of less than 50,000 will be merged directly. We hope everyone can adapt to the new environment!]
Yan Zi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
She quickly opened the regional channel to check the number of people, and sure enough, the number had increased to over 40,000...
"Damn it! These guys are doing this on purpose, deliberately keeping the number so low!"
Yan Zi gritted her teeth in anger. She had thought this trip would go smoothly and everyone's strength would improve, but in the end, she still suffered such an undeserved disaster.
[Ding, regional merger begins. This merger involves the Desert Region, Yellow Sea Region, Tibetan Forest Region, and Island Region.]
After the four regions merged, another period of violent upheaval began.
About ten minutes later.
Yan Zicai sensed that the ground was no longer destructive. She quickly opened the door and went outside, only to find that she was no longer in the desert area, but was now located in a sea area.
The sea surface shimmered, and everywhere was a scene of peace and tranquility.
Yan Zi's heart sank, because she saw a ship sailing towards her in the distance.
She immediately took out her boat, put her damaged shelter into her backpack, and then boarded the boat and slowly drifted away into the distance.
The ship wasn't moving very fast, and it was soon overtaken by the person behind it. There were six people on board, seemingly a small group. They were all carrying weapons and watching her warily.
Yan Zi glanced at them without changing her expression, then continued to steer the ship.
The six men watched her walk away in silence.
Although Yan Zi was somewhat surprised that the six people did not attack her, she was also relieved. The situation was still uncertain, and it was really not appropriate to take action at this time.
After a while, she noticed that several more ships were heading her way.
Yan Zi felt a chill run down her spine. Which area had she fallen into? Why were there people everywhere she looked?
Unlike the first ship, the other ships that came up this time didn't have the foresight to leave immediately; instead, they crowded around.
The burly man at the head of the group immediately started shouting in her direction!
"Hey girl on that boat over there! Could we dock here for a bit? Our boat is about to break apart."
Yan Zi remained silent for a long time without answering, and instead quickened her pace to leave.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding ships became tense and their speed increased dramatically.
Similarly, their ships cracked even faster.
Yan Zi was speechless.
"Don't go looking for trouble. Why are you targeting me?"
The burly man gave a wry smile: "We didn't want to target you either. Our boat is already cracked like this. If we don't find another boat, we'll die here. Sister, please, take us in and get us ashore, then we'll leave!"
Another woman, dressed in a leopard-print leather coat, pleaded, "Big sister, don't worry, we absolutely won't do anything. We've lost most of our weapons. Look at our levels, we wouldn't dare to do anything to you!"
It was only then that Yan Zi noticed the levels marked next to them.
Good heavens, they're all level 6 or 7!
How did someone with such a low rank survive until now?
It's truly astonishing how well they survived.
Yan Zi paused briefly, then drove towards them and picked them up onto the boat.
As they said, once they boarded the ship, they huddled together.
It looks incredibly crowded!
Yan Zi felt her scalp tingle, especially seeing those men piled up like a human pyramid, which was quite a visual shock to her.
"Alright, move aside a bit, it's not that crowded here."
As soon as Yan Zi finished speaking, everyone put their hands on their knees and stared at her with their backs straight, just like obedient children.
Her lips twitched slightly, then she forced herself to remain calm and asked, "Tell me, how did you get to this place? And how did your ship break down?"
The burly man in the mink coat was the first to stand up, gesturing wildly as he explained, "We're from the island region, and those girls over there are from the Yellow Sea region."
Several girls, whose names were called, immediately stood up and said nervously, "We are from the Yellow Sea region. These ships are from our region. However, as soon as we arrived here, they broke apart. We have been looking for someone to help us, but everyone hides when they see us."
Yan Zi: "You just yell at people to stop like that?"
A girl nodded.
“At first we spoke to him quietly, but he couldn’t hear us. Then we shouted, and he said we were being rude to him. No matter how much we pleaded, he wouldn’t let us go up, and he even made some unreasonable demands, so we just shouted randomly…”
Yan Zi felt a headache coming on after hearing this.
That's quite a guy!
Yan Zi was speechless. Suddenly, she understood how they could get along so peacefully. They were all such good kids.
“Hey sir, your ship looks so nice and high-class, you must be a big shot. You wouldn’t look down on us lowly soldiers, so you’re thinking of coming here to ask for a position and mentor us.”
The woman in the leather coat stood up, exuding an aura of "I've come to you for help."
Yan Zi was affected by that aura, and for a moment she really had some thoughts.
She happened to run into people from two different regions, and perhaps she could learn about some more resources.
"Alright, who can cook? Come out for a bit."
