Early in the morning of the 18th day, after waking up, Su Han couldn't help but look out the window.
As expected, the rain continued to fall without any sign of stopping. However, the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the light became brighter, so that I could see the surrounding scenery clearly without candles.
After drinking the milk and eating the butter and pork floss bread, the system's mechanical voice sounded at the right time, "Due to rising temperatures, glaciers are melting, and sea levels are continuing to rise."
Apart from this, there is no other explanation.
But Su Han knew in his heart that the difficulty of the game was actually very high.
So far, many debuffs have appeared in the game, listed below:
"Due to poor air quality (affected by fog), people may get rhinitis. (People with a cleanliness rating of >60 will be immune)"
"Because the wind is too strong, weak people may be blown away or injured. (People with a fullness level of ＞60 will be immune)"
"The island's ecological environment has been destroyed, and all residents on the island have -15 physical strength points per day."
If you don't prepare enough cold-proof supplies, you will suffer from the negative condition of "frostbite".
If you are unfortunately bitten by a mosquito, the negative status of "mosquito bite" will be added.
It is basically impossible for a level 1 player to survive in such a dangerous environment. In other words, only level 2 players have a chance to clear the dungeon.
But even for a level 2 player, it was not easy to survive. The water had already flooded the third floor and was heading towards the fourth floor. The low-rise houses not far away had already been flooded, and it was only a matter of time before the higher floors would be flooded.
The water was very dirty, with all kinds of debris in it, including plastic bags, bamboo baskets, benches, snack packaging, etc. Su Han even saw live fish swimming in the water, and there were two sealed cans of Coke next to them.
In fact, Su Han wanted to catch the fish. But then she thought, the water is not clean, what if the fish gets sick? So she gave up the idea.
"The flood will probably reach the fifth floor tomorrow." Su Han muttered to himself, "Although we have a boat, where can we go?"
Before she could think about it, there was a noise in the corridor.
“The fourth floor is about to be flooded, why don’t you let us move to the fifth floor?”
"I paid the rent!"
"Isn't it nice to stay on the same floor and not disturb each other?"
Cai Sheng patiently explained, "I told you before that I live on the fifth floor and I don't rent it out."
However, the tenant ignored him and said, "The fourth floor will be flooded soon. Do you think we can stay there safely?"
Cai Sheng really wanted to say that the inn was his and he could leave if he didn't want to live there. But he knew very well that kicking people out now would be like sending them to their deaths. The other party would get angry and might just kill him. In this way, no one would stop the tenant from changing rooms.
"Forget it." Su Han walked to Cai Sheng and whispered, "Life is at stake. They won't compromise."
Cai Sheng remained silent.
Zhong Rui took a quick glance and found that the tenants who were protesting loudly in the corridor were two men. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You can move to the fifth floor, but you must live on the right side of the stairs. If you cross the line and run to the left side, you will be regarded as having bad intentions."
"Why..." Just as one man was about to complain, the other man pulled out a gun and said coldly, "Stop wasting everyone's time with nonsense. Hand over all the food and supplies."
Gun! Su Han was very depressed, thinking, where did this come from? She was considered a high-level player, why had she never seen anyone selling guns?
Cai Sheng was shocked and asked tremblingly, "What happens after I hand it over?"
The man raised the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly, obviously not intending to let the three people present go.
A flash of white light appeared, and Cai Sheng disappeared.
Su Han, "..."
After a long time, it turned out that Cai Sheng was also a player. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately ran away.
The target ran too fast and the young man holding the pistol was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
His companion couldn't help but complain, "I told you to calm down! Look, the prey has been scared away, right?"
He didn't even shy away from Su Han and Zhong Rui, as if he believed that his side had an absolute advantage in military strength.
Su Han's face darkened, and he thought quickly in his mind. It was already the 18th day. Any player who survived in the novice dungeon for more than 12 days could become a level 2 player.
The level was not superior, the physical strength was almost the same, and the worst thing was that the other party had a gun.
While thinking, the young man with the gun turned to Su Han and Zhong Rui, shot them respectively, and then said coldly, "You two are also players, right? Your companions have already abandoned you. If you know what's good for you, just surrender obediently. I can let you die more painfully."
The young man had reason to say this. In a non-combat state, players can leave the dungeon freely. But once in a combat state, players cannot escape.
Cai Sheng's escape just now was purely accidental. Everything happened too suddenly, so he couldn't react in time. Now that he attacked first and put the opponent in a fighting state, the target would certainly not be able to escape.
Su Han quickly started thinking about how to deal with it. As for giving up and leaving the dungeon, she had never thought about it.
At this moment, Zhong Rui lowered his voice and said quickly and urgently, "Men on the left, women on the right."
Su Han was speechless. Zhong Rui's intention was obviously to fight one person at a time, but the problem was... the guy on the right had a gun in his hand! As a man, shouldn't he take the initiative to accept difficult challenges?
Su Han took a deep breath and managed to calm down. She thought, forget it, it's good enough to be able to get hold of one person, she should just rely on herself.
"What are you hesitating for? Take out all your things!" The young man with a gun pointed the gun at Su Han's heart, full of threat.
Zhong Rui counted the seconds in a very light voice, "3, 2, 1!"
As soon as he said the word "1", he threw a kitchen knife at the young man with a gun and rushed towards another man.
The blade of the kitchen knife flashed with cold light and looked extremely sharp. The young man with the gun subconsciously dodged. When he realized that this was a game and was about to aim again, Su Han strode closer to the young man, and used his left hand to turn the muzzle of the gun upwards. With the dagger in his right hand, he stabbed the young man in the abdomen without hesitation.
The young man groaned, but did not dodge. Instead, he held the gun with both hands and pointed it at Su Han's head.
Su Han had a blank expression on his face. He bravely blocked the muzzle of the gun with his left hand and continued stabbing with his right hand.
At the critical moment, whoever backs down will lose!
The young man never expected that a girl could be so tough and give up on defense to fight with her.
But... would he be afraid? The young man snorted coldly and pulled the trigger.
"Hmm!" Su Han gritted his teeth and held on, swinging the dagger more vigorously.
At this time, Su Han's physical strength was 76% and the young man's physical strength was 71%.
The young man was puzzled. The pistol was obviously more powerful than the dagger, so why was he at a disadvantage? After a while, he realized that the opponent's attack on the abdomen was a vital point, which would cause double damage; while the attack on his left hand usually caused normal damage, with occasional critical hits.
In this way, the damage caused by the pistol is actually less than that of the dagger.
After figuring it out, the young man immediately adjusted his strategy. He held his left hand, which was blocking the muzzle of the gun, with one hand, and held the gun with the other hand, aiming at the vital points.
Unexpectedly, Su Han threw the dagger back into his personal storage in an instant, then put both hands on the trigger to prevent the gun from firing, while pointing the muzzle of the gun at the ceiling.
"Fuck!" The young man couldn't help but curse. The girl in front of him looked thin, but she was very strong. He tried his best but couldn't point the gun at her head. What's more troublesome is that the pistol can only hold eight bullets at most, and the magazine must be changed after it is used up. Judging from the current situation, he will not be able to defeat his opponent when all the bullets are used up.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and suddenly, the young man was kicked in the calf and fell to the ground instantly.
Su Han was panting. He looked again and saw that Zhong Rui had already knocked the other man down, so he came over to help.
"You can really trust me by entrusting me with such an important task." Su Han was quite resentful.
Zhong Rui disagreed, "Don't underestimate yourself, you are very capable."
For a moment, Su Han felt very upset. She knew she was very powerful, but no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't resist a pistol, okay? It was not easy to hold someone back.
Zhong Rui snatched the young man's pistol and asked coldly, "Where did you get the gun?"
The young man rolled his eyes and was about to speak, but Zhong Rui pulled the trigger. The bullet grazed the young man's cheek, startling him.
"Tell the truth." Zhong Rui's voice sounded extremely cold.
The young man shuddered, then told the truth, "This is my talent. I have a chance to obtain various weapons."
"Where are the bullets? Hand them all over." Without bullets, the pistol was just scrap metal, so Su Han asked for them without hesitation.
The young man knew that he was at the mercy of others, so he had no choice but to obey and took out 20 bullets. But he kept a secret, "I still have 30 bullets on me. If you let us leave safely, I will give them to you."
Zhong Rui and Su Han looked at each other.
The next second, Su Han stabbed the young man's neck with a dagger, and Zhong Rui aimed at the young man's heart and pulled the trigger. In an instant, the young man turned into a white light and was eliminated.
"He has evil intentions and his talents and skills are too dangerous. He will be a disaster if he is kept." Su Han murmured softly.
Zhong Rui felt the same way. After playing with the pistol for a while, he asked, "Do you want this gun?"
Su Han thought, why would she need it? She had never practiced shooting.
"You keep it. Get the other guy out first, and then help me bandage my wound." Su Han shook his bloody left hand, indicating to his friend that the situation was serious.
"Yeah." Zhong Rui responded.
Soon, another person also turned into white light and was eliminated.
Then, Zhong Rui took out surgical supplies, hemostatic powder and medical bandages and started the operation. Suddenly, his expression changed and he remembered something, "This scene seems familiar, unexpectedly familiar." It was just that he was the one injured last time, and this time the two parties' identities were reversed.
Su Han had a blank expression on her face. "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." At this moment, she felt so painful that she wanted to hit someone and had no intention of chatting.
"He's so brave that he actually blocked the muzzle of the gun with his hand." Zhong Rui sighed.
"It's just a game, I won't die." Su Han pretended to be brave and fearless, but in fact she regretted it deeply - if she had known that the pain system was so realistic, she would not have done it! !
The two chatted casually, and soon the wound was bandaged.
"I didn't expect Cai Sheng to be a player." Su Han deliberately changed the subject. In fact, she didn't care whether Cai Sheng was a player or an NPC.
Zhong Rui took the opportunity to invite him, "Let's go to his room together?"
Cai Sheng has always been very careful about disguise. This means that regardless of whether he has a portable warehouse or not, he will put some supplies in the room and pretend to be an ordinary NPC.
This is the same reason why when the cold wave came and Cai Sheng asked to go into the room to warm up by the fire, Zhong Rui and his friends specially took out some supplies and placed them in the room.
"Let's go." Su Han took the first step.
The door of room 503 was locked. Since there was no one else in the inn, Zhong Rui kicked the door hard and opened it.
The door was wide open, and all kinds of supplies were scattered all over the room. There were more than 30 bars of soap, more than 50 bottles of shower gel, more than 60 packs of instant noodles, several wooden barrels of rice and flour, more than ten kinds of candies, and vacuum-packed dairy and meat products scattered in a pile.
Su Han was silent for a few seconds, then slowly spoke, "Either he is too rich and doesn't care, or Cai Sheng doesn't have a portable warehouse at all." That's why a large amount of supplies were left in the room.
"It doesn't matter what, we're going to get rich anyway." Zhong Rui said in a negotiating tone, "How about 40-60? You take 60 and I take 40."
Su Han knew that because she was injured, Zhong Rui took the initiative to give in on the distribution of spoils. But in fact, she didn't care much about supplies. Anyway, there were a lot of gold and jewelry in her portable warehouse, and once she entered the next dungeon, she would have enough funds for supplies.
Therefore, Su Han was too lazy to say anything more and just agreed casually, "Let's do it."
The two men peacefully divided the spoils and then went to the fourth floor together.
Because they didn't know where the two gunmen lived, they simply searched all the rooms on the fourth floor. After a lot of effort, they finally got a bag of sliced bread and three cans of Coke, which was a very meager harvest.
"You don't have much to eat, take it." Su Han was very generous.
"Thanks." Zhong Rui took the bread and Coke without hesitation.
Glancing downstairs, Su Han discovered that the water had completely submerged the third floor. She couldn't help but ask, "We'll probably have to leave by boat tomorrow morning. Have you decided where to go?"
Zhong Rui said very straightforwardly, "I have made the worst-case scenario plan and will spend the last two days on the ship. As for how to get through it, we will see when the time comes."
His attitude is very clear. It is not that he has anticipated what will happen in advance, so he is full of confidence. Instead, he has made sufficient preparations, so he has the confidence to face any challenge.
Su Han smiled and said, "I think so too. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will overcome them and clear the dungeon."
**
On the 19th day, the system's mechanical voice announced, "Floods have broken out, the island is seriously polluted, and the physical strength of all residents on the island has been reduced by 15."
In other words, even if the player does nothing, he will be deducted 30 physical points (15+15) when he wakes up in the morning.
After glancing at the attributes and finding that his stamina was 165 and 75%, Su Han didn't bother with it. But he couldn't help but wonder, "I have to fight for my family's wealth again."
There were 4 more bottles of milk, 1 piece of brown bread, 1 piece of meat floss cream bread, and 1 piece of chocolate cake in the portable warehouse. It was obvious that the talent probability was triggered at the same time, and two sets of meals were obtained together.
Su Han ate the chocolate cake and went out to find Zhong Rui.
It happened that Zhong Rui had just gone out. He asked, "Are you ready?"
"Well, let's go." Su Han responded.
Zhong Rui put the quilt boat into the water, removed two wooden boards to use as oars, and then jumped onto the boat.
Su Han sat on the boat and was about to take a blanket to keep out the rain, but Zhong Rui handed him a folding umbrella and said, "Take it."
Su Han didn't hesitate and took it.
So the two of them held umbrellas, sat in the boat, and slowly floated out of the inn.
The heavy rain was still falling, but there was no strong wind, so the quilt boat drifted around and moved very steadily.
Su Han sat on the boat, eating bread when hungry and drinking milk when thirsty. It felt no different from the last few days of the novice dungeon. It was just that the rain kept falling, and I was soaked all over, which was a bit uncomfortable. The place was too small, and it was easy to get bored because I couldn't stretch my body.
The boat was moving slowly, but no one was in sight. At a glance, all around was water, and the vastness seemed as if she and Zhong Rui were the only two people left in the world.
"Wow..." A gentle breeze blew, and the calm water surface began to ripple slightly. A wave hit the quilt boat, soaking the pants of the two people directly.
Su Han didn't care and waited quietly for the 20th day to arrive.
"Pah—" Zhong Rui was quick and slapped a mosquito to death.
However, Su Han didn't even have the mood to swat the mosquitoes. "Anyway, when I enter the next dungeon, all three attributes will be restored to full value. Now it doesn't matter even if I get bitten by a mosquito and get a negative status."
Anyway, there is still a lot of physical strength left, enough to last until the end of the game.
"It does matter." Zhong Rui answered seriously, "It will feel very itchy after being bitten."
Su Han was speechless.
At 9 a.m. the next day, the system's mechanical voice announced, "The rainstorm has stopped, the temperature has returned to normal, and the weather has cleared up."
"Because the island is too polluted and the disease is spreading, the physical strength of all residents on the island is -50."
Su Han muttered softly, "There are at least some immunity conditions in the novice copy. This time, 65 physical points (50+15) were directly deducted. It's too cruel."
Zhong Rui's eyes flickered, and he asked suddenly, "What do you think would happen if the cleanup progress after a tornado reached more than 90%?"
"I've thought about this too. If the cleanup progress reaches over 90%, will there be no epidemic at all? If the cleanup progress is less than 10%, will the result of the epidemic at this moment be -100 physical strength?" Su Han spread his hands, his expression very helpless, "But there are no ifs in reality. Besides, it's too difficult for the two of us to increase the cleanup progress to over 90%."
"Don't worry, I didn't think of changing anything on my own. I just think the system settings are interesting." Zhong Rui smiled easily, then put away the umbrella and said lazily, "The sky is clear."
Su Han looked up and found that the sky was sunny and cloudless. She thought to herself that all the suffering was about to end.
The boat ride lasted two whole days.
At dawn on the 20th day, just as the hands pointed to 12 o'clock, the system's mechanical voice sounded at the right time, like the sound of nature, "The second round of the game is over. Congratulations to the players for completing the extreme challenge."
“You’ve got a bonus.”
"All surviving players in the instance will be automatically teleported away."
Then, there was a flash of white light, and Su Han found himself back in the white fog.
