The "Peach Blossom Spring" island before my eyes was devastated, with all the big trees uprooted and lying haphazardly on the ground, a scene of utter chaos.
Wild grasses and shrubs have disappeared, likely blown into the sea by the wind.
There were also some wild boars that had been crushed to death by large trees, buried under the leaves, already lifeless.
There is no intact land left on the entire island.
Luo Xinglan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately sent a message in the group chat asking, "Have you guys gone to the island to check? What's the situation?"
Sun Zexia: "Going to the island? I'm rebuilding the raft right now, I haven't had a chance to go to the island yet, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ruobai: "I've arrived. The situation on the island isn't good. All the vegetation is gone. Some wild animals have also been killed."
Sun Zexia: "Huh? That's terrible? No way, I have to go to my island right away."
Jiang Mingze: "I'm in the same situation here. There's not even a place to put my feet on the island."
Everyone else said the island was in a mess.
Luo Xinglan frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart: "Since the hurricane has swept through the entire survival world, then the other islands, big and small, and our island must be in the same situation."
Huang Feilin: "That's right. I've seen people around the world explore islands, but there are no trees left on them."
Luo Xinglan: "Although wood is a renewable resource, it is only possible if the roots are intact. Now that all the trees have been uprooted, they can no longer be regenerated."
Sun Zexia: "Huh? Does that mean we'll never be able to get wood again?"
Jiang Ruobai: "There should still be a chance for things to turn around. The system told us to rebuild our home. I guess this home refers not only to the raft, but also to the island."
Upon hearing his words, Luo Xinglan immediately walked to a large tree with a diameter of more than three meters.
A notification suddenly popped up:
[Do you want to break it down to get 10 pieces of wood, or 1 sapling?]
Such a huge tree can only yield 10 pieces of wood when broken down.
Or there's only one sapling.
Luo Xinglan pursed her lips and chose [Sapling x1].
The next moment, the tree disappeared, and in its place appeared a sapling in her hand, with several tender green buds, full of vitality.
Congratulations on obtaining a sapling! Life Points +1. Current Life Points: 1.
A glimmer of hope?
What is that?
Luo Xinglan opened the panel and examined it carefully before finding a small sapling icon in the lower right corner that read "Vitality Point".
Clicking on it revealed a personal ranking.
The top spot on the leaderboard belongs to someone named Lin Yu, who has over 300 life points. The second spot belongs to her, with only 1 life point.
Next to the leaderboard, there was a line of small print:
[Survival points are quite valuable, so please try your best to collect them.]
It's quite valuable?
There is also a progress bar nearby: Island Recovery: 0/100% (When the island recovers to 80%, the Life Points are activated and can be used for island-related matters. If the island's recovery is less than 80% after one week, all Life Points will be forfeited.)
Luo Xinglan turned off the leaderboard.
She looked at the sapling in her hand, and a simple introduction appeared.
[Saplings: Can be planted. Their growth rate is half that of ordinary trees; applying special fertilizer can accelerate their growth. Once mature, they yield wood.]
After reading the explanation, Luo Xinglan finally understood.
Therefore, what the system meant by "rebuilding their home" was to have them rebuild the island!
All the trees on the island have fallen, but saplings have been left. As long as these saplings are replanted, it won't be long before the island is restored to its original state!
Saplings are hope!
As for the value of the life points, that was not something she considered.
Even if the life points have absolutely no value, she still wants to plant this tree, doesn't she?
Luo Xinglan immediately dug a hole and planted the sapling. She only had bottled water on hand, so she carefully unscrewed the cap and poured some over it.
Congratulations on successfully planting a tree! +1 Life Point!
I never thought planting trees could increase vitality points?
So, what exactly is the use of this life-giving point?
The description only states "can be used for island-related matters," which is too vague.
But no matter what, let's plant trees first!
Luo Xinglan immediately told her teammates about her discovery.
Luo Xinglan: "The fallen trees can be recycled into saplings, and the saplings can be planted! In other words, although the island is currently barren, as long as we work hard, we can still restore it to its former lush and green state!"
Jiang Ruobai: "Yes, I noticed that too. It seems we need to enter the post-disaster reconstruction phase."
Ouyang Aotian: "Do you think anyone would choose to break down the fallen trees into wood instead of saplings? After all, none of us know what the purpose of the survival points is, and after the hurricane, everyone's rafts were damaged to varying degrees, and we urgently need a lot of wood. Direct decomposition is the fastest way to obtain a large amount of wood."
Luo Xinglan: "There must be people who only care about immediate interests, but I believe that most survivors are clear-headed. They know which to choose between being a short-sighted fool and long-term development."
Sun Zexia: "If I'm not mistaken, the island's recovery progress bar is related to the vegetation coverage rate. If it doesn't reach 80%, the life points can't be activated. There's never a shortage of selfish people, and if there are too many of them, the recovery progress will definitely be wasted."
Jiang Ruobai: "We don't know what the vitality level is for yet. All we can do is plant more trees and build the island."
Luo Xinglan: "Yes, even if there are many people who don't understand things, we just need to focus on building our own island so that we can at least be self-sufficient."
