"Forget it, there's no use thinking about it so much. Let tomorrow's problems be left to tomorrow. I'll just rest and relax today."
After turning off the 3D terrain map filled with red dots, Mo Ran hummed a little tune and returned to the mouse's interior.
.
The hands of time never stop, ticking away relentlessly.
Time flew by and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. Endless darkness once again enveloped the world.
A whole day has passed.
Some players were taking a break to replenish their energy after a long period of exhaustion, while others were busy repairing damage and upgrading their ships.
Of course, there are also some unconventional players who, due to certain circumstances, have ships that are not yet fully constructed.
While many players were busy resting and their vigilance was at its lowest, these players quietly launched a sneak attack.
They usurped the nest and plundered supplies.
Such situations are not uncommon; when someone successfully launches a surprise attack, someone else fails to defend.
The victors cheered, stepping over the corpses of the defeated, celebrating their victory in this battle.
Of course, nothing happened at Mo Ran and the others' shipbuilding site all day. After all, with such a huge mech standing there, anyone who wanted to make a move would have to think twice and consider whether they were qualified.
...
12 o'clock at night...
The hands of the clock snapped to a stop precisely at 12 o'clock.
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound suddenly came from afar, accompanied by a slight tremor in the ground.
Sensing this unusual activity, the players, who had been fast asleep, woke up one after another and immediately got dressed and went outside.
Once outside, the tremors from the ground became even more pronounced.
Standing on the ground, I felt a tingling, swaying sensation.
"Damn, what's going on? Could it be an earthquake?"
"I felt that this earthquake was a bit strange, as if something huge was moving."
More and more players gathered outside, and then suddenly one of them pointed into the distance and shouted loudly.
"Holy crap! Look over there!"
At this exclamation, everyone's eyes followed the direction the person was pointing.
In the distance, the massive volcano shrouded in mist was emitting a red glow from its summit.
The light was fiery red, like flames yet not quite.
The fiery red light shone through the thick gray fog, giving it a hazy, ethereal quality.
The rumbling sound coming from afar was coming from that huge volcano.
"No way? Is the volcano about to erupt?!"
"That sounds pretty scary. Is it really going to explode?"
Just as the players were discussing, the rumbling sounds coming from afar suddenly stopped, and the slight tremors on the ground began to gradually disappear.
The world fell silent once again, as if what had just happened was a dream that never existed.
"Mmm~ Smack smack".
Mo Ran smacked her lips, lost in a sweet dream, completely unaffected by the situation outside.
"Although there are mechs patrolling, we should still send some people to keep watch tonight in case of any emergencies."
Turning his gaze away from the distance, Zhang Tian spoke to the person beside him.
"Okay, I understand."
After listening, everyone nodded in agreement.
...
The sudden situation startled many people awake, leaving many wide awake.
.
Time: 8:30 a.m.
The time had come, and the voice from the sky rang out again.
The many players who had been waiting outside immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Good morning, my little ants! It's 8:30 AM on the 30th. From now on, you have six and a half hours.
At 2:00 PM sharp, this giant volcano located in the center of the island will begin to erupt.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of many players present changed.
The voice from the sky continued.
I presume that everyone here has finished building their ships? Are you all now worried about the fuel for your ships?
But don't worry—I've already delivered the fuel the boat needs.
After saying that…
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A loud rumble suddenly came from afar, instantly attracting everyone's attention, and their eyes turned to the distant volcano.
In the field of vision, an orange flower blooms in the crater, which is the hot magma inside the volcano.
The magma was extremely hot, and the surrounding air was deformed and distorted due to the high temperature.
Thick black smoke billowed into the sky, quickly spreading above the volcano and making the already gloomy sky even more so.
Immediately afterwards, countless orange meteors shot out from the flowers, trailing long fiery tails behind them, like thousands of threads hanging down from the sky.
But compared to this enormous volcano, this fiery red flower still appears so small.
The screen on Mo Ran's armor zoomed in rapidly, allowing her to clearly see the items among the meteors.
They were lava rocks, each about the size of a basketball, with a smooth and regular shape, forming a perfectly round object.
The surface of the lava rock is covered with cracks, beneath which one can see the reddish magma.
"Reporting to the commander, the size of the object matches the fuel groove inside the ship's furnace."
After listening to Shushu's report, Mo Ran was completely certain of her thoughts.
"It seems I was right before; the energy needed for the ships comes from volcanoes."
"However, the current appearance of this volcano is really a bit... um..."
Mo Ran's gaze was fixed on the volcano, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
