The smoke and dust completely blocked out the sunlight, and the sky remained dark and gloomy.
Yu Xiangnan glanced at the time on the panel.
1:23 PM.
After using the copy loot, she buried the two corpses as well. Combined with the "Lucky Stack" effect of the [Mysterious Old Shovel], she gained a total of 20 Luck points and 550 Health points.
New rules have been introduced and the game area has begun to shrink. The newly opened public map has the function of displaying the real-time location of players, and even some surrounding landmarks are clearly displayed.
After all this time, the center of that barrier remained completely still, landing on a building in a city called "F City".
This "F city" was relatively close to the meteorite impact site, so it suffered extremely severe impact.
Yu Xiangnan, wearing an invisibility cloak, walked along a main street in F City. All he could see was a scene of desolation—countless buildings had completely collapsed, and the once bustling city streets were now nothing but ruins.
Along the way, we saw almost no corpses.
However, since the barrier appeared, the number of surviving players in the dungeon has been decreasing.
The map for this instance was already very large. After the barrier appeared, many unfortunate players found themselves far outside the barrier, with only a short 5-minute window to enter. If the terrain was steep, or if they encountered cliffs or other areas requiring detours, and they didn't have any flying vehicles, then despair awaited them.
This is merely her speculation.
There is also Wu Mu, who is at least number one on all three leaderboards, in this instance. With her immortal puppets, she is very likely to eliminate many players in a short time.
Yu Xiangnan lingered near F City for a while before returning to his temporary shelter.
This is a botanical garden located in the suburbs. It is designed as a completely closed, circular ecosystem, with an entrance that is an extremely heavy, airtight door.
The botanical garden is not exactly close to F City, and the barrier has not yet shrunk to the point where only the safe zone of F City remains, so she does not need to rush to F City now.
This is much better than the basement we found before.
As the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new.
The only downside is that it's too conspicuous; if any player happens to pass by, 99% will come in for a look.
However, there aren't many days left until the end of the survival period, so it's not a big problem...
Yu Xiangnan took a hard-boiled egg from the [Random Supplies Machine] and then checked the schedule.
【schedule】
★Supply crates will respawn in 1 day.
★The smoke and dust will gradually dissipate in 3 days.
★......
Yu Xiangnan successfully completed a dungeon-specific achievement quest, increasing his cold resistance, and then went out to grind monsters for several hours to gain experience points and Journey Points.
We can't just focus on this instance; we also need to carefully consider what will happen after the instance ends.
She hadn't even had a chance to check the leaderboard after the server merge. She knew the rewards for the leaderboard after this dungeon ended would be incredibly generous, and it would be a huge loss if someone took the top spot.
She won't give the Crescent Star player that opportunity.
......
Time flies, and soon it was the last day of the survival period for "Kiss of the Coldest World".
To Yu Xiangnan's surprise, the barrier stopped shrinking just a few kilometers outside of F City.
In this way, the area available for players to move around in the end is still not small.
Perhaps it's because it's the first survival dungeon after the server merge...
However, even if the barrier stops shrinking, the continuously decreasing temperature still poses a constant threat to the players' lives.
The body's alarms constantly urge and force players to gain cold resistance. As a result, teammates who were originally on the same team may turn against each other in an instant, and two complete strangers may fight each other over cold resistance.
This is the survival instance.
On the last day, Yu Xiangnan retrieved all the placement items such as the [Random Supply Machine] and [Enchanting Workbench], and buried the corpses of the surrounding players to increase his maximum health. At the same time, he also completed several tasks in the [Achievement Record Book].
The dungeon is finally over.
Everything around seemed to be wantonly destroyed by an invisible giant hand, shattering into pieces in an instant, like a mirror.
The crystal-clear snow and ice, along with the reinforced concrete, buried countless lives.
drop--
[Notice]: The "survival period" has ended. Congratulations to all surviving players! You will be teleported to the "public rest area" for seven days of enjoyment.
A flash of white light appeared, and Yu Xiangnan found himself in a void.
All features are now enabled.
The top performers on each leaderboard will be announced and rewards distributed in one hour.
A light green selection box popped up in front of Yu Xiangnan:
★ Proceed to the "Public Rest Area"
【whether】
Yu Xiangnan pressed "Yes" and then quickly returned to his own "domain".
She had mentally rehearsed countless times the scenario of encountering Wu Mu again, making ample preparations. However, until the very last day, she did not run into Wu Mu directly.
This made her feel relieved, but also vaguely uneasy.
Moreover, the thought of the rankings being announced in an hour makes her heart race uncontrollably.
How can I describe it? It's like you're about to have final exams, and you've lost a lot of hair from studying so hard. You finally finish the exams and feel as relieved as if you've been released from prison, but then suddenly the results are announced.
First......
Holding onto this position is easier said than done.
If you stay in this position for too long, you'll have a sense of disorientation, as if you've lost your goal.
Fortunately, after being dragged into the [Chaos Dungeon] in a daze that time, she figured out a lot of things.
In this world, there are many strong people. If you want to survive, or achieve your goals for personal reasons, there is only one path—
Become stronger, and keep getting stronger.
Yu Xiangnan's hands clenched into fists uncontrollably.
Are those high-level players really able to successfully return to the real world?
The prolonged mental and physical strain left her feeling dizzy. Even so, Yu Xiangnan immediately claimed the Conquest Points from the [Conquest Golden Warrior Statue] before collapsing onto the bed like a lifeless corpse.
One hour later.
[Now announcing the player ranked number one in each leaderboard.]
[Due to the large number of players ranking first in their respective professions, the ranking will not be published; players can check it themselves.]
