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

On the second day of the sweltering heat, the group got up early again, completed their daily training tasks, and then began to perform their respective duties.

After enduring yesterday's scorching heat, many players, even with supplies available, were unable to hold on any longer.

Facing the scorching heat, it's not just a mental torment, but also an extreme physical pain every minute of every second.

Even inside the safe house, you are surrounded by scorching hot air, as if you were in a working oven.

With each breath, my throat feels a burning pain.

Even if players keep drinking water, their lips will quickly become dry and cracked, their eyes will become sore and swollen, their vision will occasionally become foggy, and sometimes the scenery will even appear distorted and shaky.

The sweat glands completely dried up, and sweating ceased. The body went from sticky and damp to dry and hot. Dehydration rapidly occurred, blood became viscous, and the heartbeat became heavy and rapid. Most of the time, the player was in a dazed and numb state.

It's so hot, I can't take it anymore.

I feel like I don't have to do anything; I'm just lying there waiting to evaporate.

Sisters, I have 30 game coins, five Purification Hearts, and some other random stuff. I've posted them in the public chat channel, so remember to grab them. Hope this helps!

Even with a defense rating of over 20, Jin Xiaoman couldn't work outdoors for long periods under such high temperatures.

She would return to the safe house every few tens of minutes to rest for a while, and during this interval she would check the players who were speaking, and found that their avatars had mostly turned gray.

The people in the safe house were all in low spirits, and Jin Xiaoman noticed that Ai, who loves wearing princess dresses, had secretly cried several times.

No one spoke; they simply did their assigned tasks in silence.

Faced with such extreme survival conditions, despite the best efforts and cooperation of the Angel Alliance and players in the 888 section, the number of players still dropped from over 80,000 to 78,000.

In most cases, the player gives up on themselves.

The entire region has fallen into an unprecedented slump.

By the third day, the situation had worsened. Almost no one was talking in the public chat channel, and every few minutes a message would pop up saying that a certain player had sent a red envelope*1.

Seeing this, Jin Xiaoman specially arranged for Big Horn Bull to say some encouraging words in the public chat channel, constantly reminding everyone that this was the last day of the high temperature.

Thanks to Big Horn Bull's persistent spamming, the situation gradually eased, and some players started following Big Horn Bull and cheering him on.

Humans are social animals and are easily influenced by their surroundings. Under such circumstances, many people are embarrassed to send red envelopes to public chat channels, but they are unwilling to let their assets disappear in the game, so they can only grit their teeth and persevere.

People started recording the countdown in the public chat channel.

Five hours, three hours, one hour.

Five minutes, three minutes, one minute.

Click—

As the second and minute hands on the watch aligned, it finally came to 6 p.m.

A thunderclap sounded precisely in the distance, and raindrops drifted down to the earth, only to be instantly absorbed without a trace. Then, wisps of murky, humid white vapor rose up, mingling with the smell of dust and withered vegetation.

The dry season and high temperatures have finally come to an end amidst everyone's eager anticipation.

[Beep beep, Level 5 radiation detected in the water source. Not drinkable.]

The rain gradually changed from fine threads to dots, and finally formed dense rain lines. The torrential rain finally began to fall at this moment.

The air, which had been distorted by the heatwave, suddenly cooled down, and the stagnant, stuffy hot air was dispersed by the rain.

The grass and trees, which had been scorched by the blazing sun, gradually unfurled, and dark watermarks slowly seeped into the gullies of the land. The distant mountains gradually shed the sweltering, gray fog that had lingered for days, and their outlines became soft and hazy, blurred by the heavy rain.

The heavy rain seemed like a signal for survival sent to the players from the distant horizon.

The surviving player from section 888 struggled to climb to the window of the safe house, staring incredulously at the rain in front of him, stretching his hand into the downpour to confirm the established facts over and over again.

Some players even drank rainwater and repeatedly checked their deducted 50 points of mental energy before they were willing to believe that everything was over.

Players then noticed that the watch's temperature was dropping rapidly.

Eighty degrees, seventy degrees, fifty degrees, and finally it just barely stopped at around thirty degrees.

"Haha, it's over! The dry season is over! The heatwave is over!"

Silence fell in every corner of the 888 section at first, then suppressed sobs broke out, and finally bursts of unrestrained laughter erupted.

The public chat channel was also buzzing with excitement.

Jin Xiaoman and his mother, along with several others, embraced tightly. Everyone was filled with emotion, and any words seemed inadequate at that moment.

No one expected these three days to be so brutal. As of now, the 888 section still has 65,000 people left.

A total of 28,000 people died.

Fortunately, it's all over.

The public chat channel returned to its former liveliness, with everyone spreading the news and sending each other blessings, but all tacitly choosing to ignore the red envelopes.

They lay there all alone, as if their presence meant their owner was still there.

However, this joyful atmosphere of surviving a disaster did not last long before it was broken, and the game consciousness returned.

[Ding! Congratulations to all players of the survival game on successfully surviving three days of high temperatures. I'm sure you're all exhausted by now, so I'm giving you one minute to choose whether or not to participate in this dungeon.]

One minute later, players who haven't made a choice will have half of their personal assets deducted and will be forced to participate in the game. Players who choose "no" will have all of their personal assets deducted, but can choose not to participate in the game.

[This game: The Happy Miner.]

[Rank: S]

Game Rules:

First, mine as many gems as possible within 24 hours and make sure you have them with you when the game ends. The number of gems determines your ranking in the division.

Second, the game is a battle between zones. At the end of the game, the zone ranked first can choose any of the bottom 50 zones to plunder resources ranging from a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 50%.

Then the second-ranked region will make its selection, and so on, until all the top ten have been selected.

Third, there will be a real-time updated "Sky Eye" in the game arena, which will accurately broadcast the division, specific coordinates and number of gems of the top 100 players with the most gems.

Fourth, players can obtain gems from each other by killing each other. The killed player will return to the starting area of ​​the game and can be revived by handing in an A-grade item; otherwise, they will be forcibly kicked out of the battlefield.

Note: Players who are forcibly kicked out of the battlefield will receive zero gems this time.

Fifth, once you enter the game, all assets except for those in your inventory will be frozen and unusable.

After reading the game rules, Jin Xiaoman exclaimed repeatedly, "No wonder Bai Xiaosheng said that this high temperature is directly related to the dungeon game."

The unfairness of this game lies in the fact that as long as there are enough players in a region, such as region 888, even if everyone has a gem, there will be 60,000 players.

At the same time, a question arose in Jin Xiaoman's mind: the game's mandatory requirement for players to participate in the game was enough to show that it attached great importance to this instance game.

But if they really valued this dungeon game, why choose to start it right after the heatwave ended, when players were exhausted and their energy was depleted?

After all, players being in poor condition is definitely not good news for dungeon games; at the very least, it will significantly reduce the fun of the game...
