In fact, Jian Yiqiu was right. Xiao Jin did discover something unusual, and they were just lucky.
On the first day, Xiao Jin found a suitable spot and hid one of the eyeballs of the 'Eye of Reconnaissance' on the steel frame above the bridge, and then activated the skill all day.
Of course, the 'Eye of Reconnaissance' is only a purple item, so it naturally has a cooldown period. Unlike psionic items, it can't be continuously activated by spending spiritual energy, but even if it were, Xiao Jin didn't have that much spiritual energy to squander.
So, although it's said to be open all day, 'Eye of the Scout' is actually on cooldown for most of the day.
Even so, Xiao Jin did not take the props back.
Typically, the 'Eye of Reconnaissance' would be active for one hour during the day, then enter a cooldown period. After 50 minutes, Xiao Jin would activate it again, and this cycle would repeat.
That's why they're so lucky. With only a few irregular opening times each day, they somehow managed to run into something.
Five minutes ago, the 'Eye of Reconnaissance,' which had been displaying no images for a long time, surprisingly provided Xiao Jin with a visual response.
A group of snow beasts of various shapes and sizes are slowly approaching the shelter, using the thick snow to conceal themselves.
Unbeknownst to them, their every move had already been seen by the 'reconnaissance eyes' high in the sky.
Xiao Jin's choice to place the props on the bridge was quite obvious; it was to keep an eye on the direction of Y City.
In her opinion, with so much natural food reserves at the shelter, it would be strange if no snow beasts coveted it.
As for the other directions of Prison Island, the nearest land is still quite a distance away, so all things considered, the chances of the snow beast coming from Y City are still greater.
Upon noticing the appearance of the snow beasts, Xiao Jin didn't have time to make a sound. Instead, while they were still within the detection range of the 'Eye of Reconnaissance,' he quickly checked the number of snow beasts.
According to Xiao Jin's observation, this beast tide is definitely much larger than the one on the second night. This is not only reflected in the number of beasts, but also in the level of the snow beasts.
In addition to the level 1-4 snow beasts that I had previously encountered, three new snow beasts have appeared in the snow beast group, which should undoubtedly be level 5.
Once the number of the other side is confirmed, there is no need to monitor the snow beasts anymore.
When Xiao Jin opened her eyes, she saw a pair of worried eyes.
"We don't need to eat yet." Xiao Jin still remembered the conversation that Jian Yiqiu and the others had just had.
“A large group of snow beasts has appeared and will arrive in about 10 minutes. They don’t know they’ve been discovered and are probably trying to sneak up on us and catch us off guard, which gives us time to react.”
Xiao Jin decisively revealed what she had discovered, and then saw Shao Jing collapse back into his chair as if the sky had fallen.
Shao Jing lay on the table, whimpering, "Waaah~ I'm so hungry!"
All you do is eat, eat, eat!
Cheng Ce was almost frantic and immediately asked Xiao Jin, "How many are there?"
"473."
"So precise!" Shao Jing's eyes widened. "How can it even have whole numbers and fractions?"
Gao Ya and Deng Xing, who were standing nearby, seemed to have thought of something and quickly posted the message that the snow beast would arrive in 10 minutes on the channel.
The channel was immediately filled with cries and screams.
Can't we just let them rest for a while?
Damn it, I've only eaten two bites of food, what a waste of that big chicken leg!
Xiao Jin continued, "The others are fine, but there are more than twenty level 4 or higher beasts in the herd, and I've never encountered three of them before."
Jian Yiqiu pursed his lips, and when he turned to look at the empty surveillance camera, his eyes were frighteningly cold.
He understood what Xiao Jin meant.
Those twenty-odd high-level snow beasts could only be dealt with by those with special abilities, especially the three that even Xiao Jin had never seen before.
She didn't know what the other party's abilities were, so Xiao Jin was also unsure how many players would be tied down.
However, they might need to dedicate most of their forces to fighting the advanced snow beasts, leaving the rest to be dealt with by the other ordinary survivors.
After a long pause, Jian Yiqiu suddenly turned his head and met Xiao Jin's gaze: "I believe you, and I believe them too."
He then slammed his hand on a large red button on the wall, and everyone heard a second alarm that same day.
What happened?
"Has something happened again?"
"Waaaaah~ Mommy, I'm so scared!!"
"Shh! It's okay, Xiaobao, don't cry. Mommy will always protect you!"
"Damn it, can someone tell me what's going on? I'm really going to break down if this keeps up!"
Everyone's practically developed PTSD from the alarm; every time it goes off, nothing good ever comes of it.
"Everyone..."
Just as everyone was in a panic and the Black Tower was filled with noisy shouts and curses, the alarm suddenly stopped, followed by a familiar voice.
A little girl pointed to the loudspeaker: "It's Uncle Jane."
Everyone recognized Jian Yiqiu's voice. As the manager of the shelter, he was also the person the survivors were most familiar with.
"I am Jian Yiqiu, and I have some news to announce to everyone..."
Immediately afterwards, Jian Yiqiu informed everyone that the snow beast was about to arrive.
Upon hearing that it was a monster, the survivors were filled with fear and despair, and their cries for help rose and fell in an instant.
But Jian Yiqiu's voice did not stop.
Are you going to admit defeat?
Are you willing to become food for monsters?
"Look at your family members beside you, are you sure you want to abandon them?"
