[Game Announcement: Mercury and this world have begun merging; current merging rate is 100%.]
[Survivors will be dropped onto Mercury in 24 hours. Please be prepared.]
The news caused an uproar on the world channel.
The crowd, who had been discussing the leaderboard, immediately shifted their attention to the survivors on Mercury.
The world chat was instantly flooded with messages, with everyone discussing the upcoming Mercury survivors.
"My mother and sister are still on Mercury, I don't know if they're still alive..."
"I must go back to the shallow waters and wait for them! Maybe I'll run into my family there!"
"How many people do you think are left on Mercury?"
"Given the intensity of previous disasters, I'm afraid..."
"Don't be so pessimistic! Since the system said it would release Mercury survivors, it means that someone must have survived!"
"Yes, so many of us have survived here, so they will definitely survive too."
"Don't get too excited. The arrival of Mercury survivors may not be a good thing."
"What do you mean?"
"What are you talking about? Judging from your tone, you're probably all alone, without even any relatives or friends, right?"
"Exactly, everyone is looking forward to family reunions, why are you pouring cold water on that?"
"I think you're just jealous of others who have families. You're all alone and can't stand seeing others do well!"
"That's right! It's a good thing that the Mercury survivors have come; it means we have more people to face future challenges together."
"That's right, unity is the way to survive. Your selfish and self-centered attitude is the real threat!"
At that moment, someone spoke on the world channel.
"Wait a minute! Everyone, please stop arguing. I suddenly thought, what if a bad guy hurts the newcomer?"
This message immediately attracted everyone's attention, and people responded enthusiastically.
"We must never harm the newcomers! No matter what sea we're in, if we see any survivors from Mercury, we must protect them!"
"Yes, if we find anyone intentionally harming a newcomer, we should report it to the world channel immediately, and we'll all hunt him down!"
But as soon as the proposal was put forward, some people jumped out to oppose it.
"Why should I? This world is a dog-eat-dog world, why can't I touch them?"
"Exactly! I can barely take care of myself, how can I have time to care about others!"
These words immediately sparked public outrage.
"How can you be so heartless? They just came after us. Don't take advantage of being there first to do bad things!"
"Would you want your friends and family to be killed or robbed by bad guys?!"
"Everyone is trying to help each other, but you're the only one holding everyone back. If everyone were like you, how would we survive in this world?"
"That's right, if you dare to harm the new survivors, don't expect to have a good life in this world!"
Opponents, however, remained unconvinced and continued to refute the claims in the world chat.
"Stop with this moral blackmail. I just don't want to, what can you do about it?"
