Upon waking up, Lin Yue stretched lazily.
Doomsday calendar, day twenty-two.
Unknowingly, he had successfully survived for such a long ti in this disaster-prone Otherworld.
The sound of Bai and the Little Ice Lizards snoring was still ringing in his ears, they seed to be sleeping sweetly.
The Ice Lizards seed to be combat-crazed creatures that could eat and sleep and were extrely active.
They had almost no resistance in front of delicious food and knew well how to use sleep to recover their expended energy.
Even when trapped in this Shelter, they were constantly active to expend their excess energy.
But when it ca to anything related to combat, they could transform that excess energy into formidable combat prowess and beco stronger.
"What a treasure, who would have thought these little things could learn harvesting in no ti?"
Last night, Lin Yue only demonstrated once, and the Little Ice Lizards understood how to harvest the vegetables.
So were cutting chives, and others were picking cucumbers, none of them were idle, and their efficiency was quite high.
Bai helped harvest the waterlons, radishes, and onions with its significantly larger claws, performing quite well.
Finally, for dinner, Lin Yue naturally treated them to sothing delicious—a bowl of snail noodles.
"The Ice Lizard is truly the best spokesperson for the ’true fragrance’ family, the more they dislike it the first ti, the better it slls the second ti."
With a smile on his face, Lin Yue climbed up the ladder to the top window of the building and squeezed out from there.
Familiar with the route, he quickly removed a wooden board, and soon a beam of light spilled onto the rooftop from above.
Lin Yue erged from there and looked around.
A gentle breeze lifted the tips of his hair lightly.
Looking far into the distance, the originally dry and lifeless Desert had the floodwaters receded, leaving countless large and small lakes, and overnight, an abundance of grass shoots had sprouted, completely covering the previously dominating red soil in sight.
This place seed to have transford from a Desert into a grassland in an instant.
"Are those flowers over there?" Lin Yue surprisingly discovered so red and purple hues not far from the small woods, using the Sighting Scope he found that they were indeed flowers, although very short, almost growing right against the ground.
"Flowers..."
The last ti Lin Yue saw such things was when he entered the Secret Realm and saw heather flowers.
It seed that after arriving in this Otherworld, apart from those greenhouse fruits and vegetables, he hadn’t seen anything akin to flowers.
"I wonder if the flowers from the Secret Realm could survive in this Otherworld?" Lin Yue suddenly had this thought.
Indeed, the Desert was far too barren, and even a single flower on the ground could give him a sense of hope.
However, this thought passed fleetingly.
Feeling the comfort brought by the warm morning sun, Lin Yue started his warm-up activities for the day.
Successfully surviving the third catastrophe, with the acid rain halted and the floodwaters receded, it seed like entering a new cycle once again.
One by one, he stored the wooden planks covering the roof into the Storage Space, and then folded up the large wire sh before moving on to the passageway connecting to the greenhouse, soon collecting the planks covering greenhouse numbers 1 and 2 as well.
Wiping the sweat off his face, he returned to the rooftop of the Shelter, suddenly rembering he hadn’t yet looked at the disaster records this ti.
After each disaster, the system would release a report, detailing the remaining total population after surviving the disaster.
Moreover, after each disaster, the system would update, adding new functions.
Now that so ti had passed since the disaster ended, what would it be like this ti?
Lin Yue opened the system panel and looked at the announcent issued promptly at midnight.
[End of the Third Disaster]
[As of the end of this disaster, the global remaining population is: 2,500,489,748 people]
[In 48 hours, the details of the fourth disaster will be announced]
[Reminder once more, death here is true death!]
[To all humanity, good luck!]
Lin Yue rubbed his eyes.
Is that it?
What about the system upgrade?
The new functions?
Group rging?
Nothing at all?
This is just too perfunctory.
Although Lin Yue had a lot he wanted to rant about, he was indeed astonished by one other thing.
"Is the total population left really just 2.5 billion? Wait, what was the number after the last earthquake?"
Lin Yue turned the pages to the previous report.
2,602,474,756 people.
Wait.
Sothing’s not right.
Why?
The last count was 2.6 billion people, yet after this disaster, there are still 2.5 billion left?
Within these seven days, only one hundred million people disappeared?
Lin Yue found it hard to believe.
After all, following the first two disasters, the global population of 7.8 billion had sharply reduced to 2.6 billion, more than half of the people had died!
Revisiting previous reports, Lin Yue carefully examined them.
[End of the First Disaster]
[Global remaining population: 3,455,654,778]
At the ti, the system set that "the elderly and children, disabled, and various groups unable to fend for themselves, due to their weaker survival abilities, would be relocated near relatives after the first disaster." So this number was actually the final remaining total from those who had first been relocated.
And by the second ti, the number beca 2,602,474,756 when adding the elderly, children, and those incapable of action after experiencing the strong earthquake and surviving.
That ans the second disaster claid even more lives than the first!
According to various intelligence, about over 2 billion people lost their lives permanently after this disaster occurred.
Following this was the system update which turned the groups into massive groups of 100,000 people.
"If only one hundred million died, then that ans the people who couldn’t adapt to the Otherworld have basically been eliminated?"
Lin Yue pondered.
Initially, those who were quite lazy not seeking ways to survive were eliminated first, then the first disaster’s snowstorm wiped out another batch;
Afterwards, when the elderly and children and those who couldn’t move were added, the system update made survival harder;
Among those delivered, many originally survived relying on Earth’s advanced dicine and so were too old to bear the calamities...
During the second earthquake, so people weren’t prepared enough, so in the end, they were either crushed in Shelters or killed by the mutated creatures outside, which led to such a drastic decrease in the total population.
But after that, with the system updating again, along with giant creatures, Underground Ruins, more difficult Secret Realm and harsher Otherworld, this ti even a dual disaster happened, yet only one hundred million were wiped out...
It seems these remaining people truly can be regarded as real "Survivors," after all.
