Raft for All: I'm guaranteed to get a golden affix when I upgrade!

[Should we extract the terms immediately?]

A semi-transparent notification box is bouncing.

Xiao Zheng focused his mind on the golden "Yes".

A burst of brilliant golden light exploded in front of my retina.

Three cards radiating a divine aura floated in mid-air.

Option 1: Void Probing Hand (Gold)

[Effect Description: Solidifies to limbs or tools. Ignores spatial barriers upon activation, randomly stealing the highest-value item from the inventory of any surviving player in the area. Limited to three uses per day.]

Option Two: Blood Rebirth (Gold)

[Effect Description: Solidified within the body. Even a single drop of blood or a single cell can be used to completely reconstruct the body within ten seconds, consuming a large amount of energy.]

Option 3: Invulnerable to All Laws (Gold)

[Effect Description: Solidifies onto any non-living vehicle. The vehicle and all items and living beings currently attached to it are forcibly placed into a state of absolute immunity. Ignores and completely exempts from all forms of physical attack, magical penetration, mind control, and poison attack. The vehicle cannot be destroyed.]

Xiao Zheng's gaze swept back and forth across the three cards.

Choose one?

Get the highest value resources in the area three times a day for free.

It's exhilarating, as it may seem. But in this pioneering period where 99 out of 100,000 people are desperately fighting for a sip of water, others have absolutely no trump cards up their sleeves.

Stealing a piece of broken wood is a complete waste of a keyword entry slot.

exclude.

Choose one of the two?

Reborn from a drop of blood, an immortal body.

It sounds tempting, but it comes at the cost of a lot of physical exertion.

In my current physical condition, just swinging the hook a few dozen times is enough to make my stomach churn with acid.

What if you actually encounter a great white shark, get bitten to pieces, regenerate from a single drop of blood, and then get bitten to pieces by sharks again in the sea?

They are trapped in an endless cycle of rebirth until their energy is exhausted and they are completely turned into food.

exclude.

My gaze fell on the third option.

Invulnerable to all laws.

For survival on a raft, a vehicle is essential.

Great white sharks circle beneath the surface, while on the surface, blue-ringed octopuses and highly venomous sea snakes burst forth from exposed barrels, among other incredible creatures.

At night, there are also extreme waves that could overturn the wooden planks at any time.

Just type this term on the raft.

Even if a nuclear bomb were to explode on the sea right now, not a single hair on this raft or the people on it would be harmed.

Absolute immunity to damage completely eliminates the biggest obstacle to survival in the early stages.

Survival games are most vulnerable to unexpected events.

As long as we prevent accidents and maintain a 100% success rate in salvage operations, overwhelming resource dominance is only a matter of time.

Xiao Zheng raised his right hand.

The finger is focused heavily on the third gold card.

[Entry: Invulnerable to all laws.]

Please select the target to be fixed.

He pointed to the six-square-meter wooden plank under his feet.

[Cure confirmed.]

[Plaint complete. Note: Vehicle expansions will automatically share this effect.]

On the otherwise ordinary wooden surface, a ring of pale golden ripples, barely perceptible to the naked eye, spread out.

The ripples follow the wood grain, then disappear inwards.

On the surface, it is still a simple wooden raft.

Xiao Zheng bent down and picked up the construction hammer he had just made.

Stand firmly on your feet and engage your core.

He swung the solid wood hammer and smashed it hard against the edge of the raft.

"Bang!"

A dull thud was heard.

An extremely powerful recoil force surged up the hammer handle and shot straight into the arm.

Xiao Zheng was so shocked that his hands went numb, and the hammer almost flew out of his hand.

Look down to examine it.

The wooden board, struck with full force, was left without even the slightest white mark.

Absolutely indestructible.

He picked up a piece of freshly cut metal and used its sharp edge to scrape the wood hard.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The wooden plank was intact.

Stable.

As long as you stand on this platform, any external threats become ineffective background.

Even if that great white shark comes to ram it again and breaks all its teeth, the raft will not shake at all.

Invincible.

However, this invincibility is limited to immunity to external damage.

Next to the [Constitution] attribute on the system panel, there is still a hidden risk of mild dehydration.

They died of starvation, thirst, or disease.

The natural depletion of internal physiological functions does not fall under the category of harm.

To live comfortably, one must continue to hoard supplies like crazy.

The intense mental tension was relieved at this moment.

It took us most of the day to arrive at this catastrophic ocean.

For the first time, Xiao Zheng felt a sense of security, as if his feet were firmly on the ground.

I walked to the center of the raft and plopped down on it.

He took out another chilled mandarin orange from the white styrofoam box next to him, peeled it, and put it directly into his mouth.

Biting into the fruit releases cool, sweet juice that flows into your throat.

Such treatment is a luxury in this desolate sea.

With a thought, I opened the semi-transparent system panel.

Switch to [Regional Channel 996].

The number of survivors in the upper right corner has decreased again.

Current number of online users: 92124/100000.

The death toll is fluctuating faster and faster.

The text comments scrolled wildly.

The atmosphere on the channel has shifted from initial cries for help and complaints to a collective emotional breakdown.

"Has anyone seen my son? His name is Zhang Xiaoming, he's twelve years old, and he's wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt!"

"Mom! Which area are you in?! I'm terrified!"

"Wife, if you see this, reply: This is Daqiang! You must survive, don't open the wooden bucket in the water!"

"What's the point of searching for relatives? Use your brains! There are eight billion people in the world, scattered across countless regions!"

"Exactly! Even in the same area, without coordinates and nautical charts, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack!"

"Please, stop posting missing person notices! Use the space for transaction information, okay?! Does anyone have fresh water?! I'll trade a blueprint for a cheap spear for 10ml of fresh water!"

"May that liar's whole family die! That guy named Wang Lei agreed to trade plastic for wood, and after I transferred the wood, he immediately blocked me!"

"Hahaha, you idiot, this isn't the old society governed by the rule of law anymore. Who's going to talk to you about the spirit of contracts now?"

Xiao Zheng watched as the missing person messages scrolled by rapidly.

A name involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

Xiao Muxue.

He was an orphan who grew up in a welfare home on the outskirts of the city.

Xiao Muxue was four years older than him and they were girls from the same orphanage.

The two have relied on each other since childhood. Although they are not related by blood, they are closer than siblings.

The welfare home is short of funds and cannot afford to send everyone to school.

Xiao Muxue dropped out of high school in her second year and went to work illegally on an electronics factory assembly line, sending him all her meager wages every month as living expenses.

Those hands, which should have been holding pens, were covered in indelible chilblains from prolonged contact with chemicals.

Even though he ate boiled cabbage for every meal, there would always be a plate of braised pork on the table whenever he returned to his rented room.

On the day he received his first paycheck after graduating from university, he bought her a silver necklace.

That was the first gift she had ever received in her life.

just now.

A global survival journey.

Xiao Muxue was also drawn into this cruel survival game.

Is that woman, who's even afraid of cockroaches, huddled on a broken wooden board in a square meter right now, trembling with fear?

Is there any fresh water available?

Did you encounter any giant underwater beasts?
