Survival for all, my island is the last pure land on earth.

Before the squirrel could grieve over the lost snacks, its body reacted before its brain could, and it ran towards Jin Xiaoman.

However, its selfless act did not change Jin Xiaoman's situation in the slightest.

In the following days, Jin Xiaoman experienced firsthand the terror of Sisyphus. Many times, it wasn't that she wanted to land on a certain spot, but that Sisyphus forced her to land on that spot.

But whenever Jin Xiaoman thought she had understood Sisyphus's intentions and confidently settled down, she would be met with Sisyphus's dimensional reduction attack, making her realize that there are a thousand variations in the same position.

After several days of arduous training, Jin Xiaoman dreamt at night of frantically dodging all sorts of things falling from the sky by a pond.

Fortunately, the increased training time and intensity were effective.

There was no wind in the forest today; it was very muggy, and even the air felt scorching.

Apart from the chirping of cicadas, there was no other sound around; even the heat-resistant partridges had hidden themselves away.

After finishing a day of training, Jin Xiaoman lay exhausted on the ground.

Her wisps of hair were damp with sweat and stuck to her cheeks. She casually gathered her hair back and carefully examined the SS-level skill that popped up on her personal panel: Shadowless Step.

【Shadowless Step: SS-level skill, the key lies in the unpredictable footwork, which is difficult to detect and predict the user's movement direction with the naked eye, greatly improving the user's evasion ability.

Additional feature: If an enemy watches your footsteps for more than three seconds, they will be briefly stunned and unable to attack or move.

Note: Users will experience a brief period of weakness after continuously consuming stamina and performing high-intensity attacks.

Jin Xiaoman closed her eyes contentedly, feeling that all the beatings she had endured these past few days had been worthwhile.

Sisyphus was also very happy today. With a flick of his tail, he brought rain to cool down Jin Xiaoman.

The pool water was cool and refreshing. After being treated by Sisyphus, it had been reduced from level 5 radiation to non-radioactive. Sprinkling it on the body was quite cooling.

After a while, Jin Xiaoman got up from the ground and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, senior."

Sisyphus, unusually mischievous, slapped the water with the tip of its tail and teased, "That's it?"

Jin Xiaoman's mind raced: "Should I get you some more food? Or is there someone you dislike that I'd go and get rid of?"

Sisyphus's eyes lit up: "Then let's go with Lilith. You can give it a beating."

"Huh? Me?"

Jin Xiaoman chuckled: "Okay."

Whether you get beaten up or not is hard to say, but the act of going is definitely something you have to do.

Sisyphus's eyes held a mocking glint: "Just kidding."

"Go back now. You've worked hard these past few days. Remember, you only know the myriad variations of the Shadowless Step now. Whether you can use it skillfully depends on your continued practice."

Just like when they first met, Jin Xiaoman stood tall with her head held high and legs together, and said loudly, "I will, senior."

"I need to rest for the next couple of days. Come see me after the dry season is over."

"Okay, senior."

Sisyphus wanted to say something more, but in the end it didn't. It just took a deep look at Jin Xiaoman and then dived into the water.

Jin Xiaoman's chest heaved as she keenly sensed something, but she wasn't sure, so she could only bow to the pond once more.

Thanks to the hard work of the "Lumberjack Team," the storage of safe house repair materials has reached its limit, which can fully meet the needs of the entire 888 district.

With Jin Xiaoman's "strong support," Zhan Dou also repaired her safe house and moved back a couple of days ago.

With the blessing of a mysterious force, the deserted island regained its former vitality.

However, Zhan Dou herself had a strong opinion about the phrase "strongly support". She believed that if exploiting her by working from 8 to 6 without rest days counted, then Jin Xiaoman was indeed "strongly supporting" her.

Jin Xiaoman herself said that it is normal for people to have complaints after being extremely tired, and she understands that.

The group of friends enjoyed watching Jin Xiaoman and Zhan Dou bicker, finding it a rare spice in their lives.

There are three days and one night left until the end of the dry season.

Jin Xiaoman returned to the safe house and, having obtained an SS-level cultivation technique, decided to celebrate properly.

After she finished showering, she went into the kitchen and busied herself with Ah Ye.

During this time, several people from the small group arrived one after another, providing a lot of ingredients.

There were already more than twenty dishes, but the prize pool kept piling up. In the end, Jin Xiaoman didn't hesitate at all and bought a bigger table from the store.

Big Horn was the last to arrive. As soon as he entered the safe house, he smelled a rich aroma of honey-glazed duck. The caramelized sweetness of rock sugar mixed with the subtle spiciness of star anise and cinnamon made his mouth water.

He barged into the kitchen carrying a large bag of honeydew melons: "Leader, your humble servant has brought extra dishes, all of them are highly radioactive."

A-Ye took the bag, carefully washed the fruit, and then put it in the refrigerator.

Big Horn Bull peeked out and saw a large pot of braised pork trotters with soybeans on the kitchen counter. The pork trotters were slightly curled up, looking tender and falling off the bone. Every crevice was filled with soup, making his mouth water.

My mother delivered a powerful kick from behind, like a punch weighing 300 tons: "You're covered in sweat, where are you going to go?"

Number 2775 handed Big Horn Bull a change of clothes: "Go take a shower. There are girls in the room, so you should be clean too."

Big Horned Bull: "Yes, sir! Vice Alliance Leader!"

The old woman, with a 300-ton punch, gave him a sympathetic look: "This kid seems to have been possessed ever since the alliance was established. He's always calling himself the alliance leader or his subordinate."

Loves wearing princess dresses: "That's just how silly I am, so immature."

"Three, four, five, six, seven, a straight."

Dipping Beans: "Hey, where did you get three, four, five, six, and seven? I have four threes in my hand. Show me your straight."

The girl who loves wearing princess dresses calmly took back her cards: "There was a mistake, it's a single 10."

Dipping Beans: "..."

She loves wearing princess dresses: "It's your turn, Rat Lord. What should I play? You don't want anything, right? Okay."

The squirrel gripped the cards with its paws, looking as helpless as a piece of wood.

Jin Xiaoman walked past it from behind: "Rat, get J out of here."

She pulled out a card and threw it on the ground.

Dipped Beans: "Wait, Princess, didn't you just play four Jacks? Why does Master Rat still have one?"

"Well....."

She loves wearing princess dresses, her eyes darting around: "You're mistaken."

"Did I remember wrong?"

The old woman, who could deliver a punch that felt like it weighed 300 tons, walked out of the kitchen: "Dinner's ready, stop playing around."

"Haha." The girl who loves wearing princess dresses threw all the cards on the ground and stirred them around: "Let's eat, let's eat."

Dipping Beans: "With your card-playing habits, I'll never play with you again, not even when I'm looking for someone to play with."

She loves wearing princess dresses and acting cute: "Manman, she bullied me."

Jin Xiaoman looked over.

Dipping Beans: "I'm speechless. You two are exactly the same."
