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

Among an inconspicuous patch of low shrubs, many small fruits, reddish-purple with a hint of black, are faintly visible.

Jin Xiaoman approached and parted the unfamiliar plants.

"It really is a raspberry."

She counted them carefully; there were seventeen.

[Beep beep, Level 5 radiation detected. Not edible.]

Jin Xiaoman ignored the noise; it would just keep beeping, "Beep beep, level 5 radiation, beep beep, level 4 radiation."

He couldn't utter a single nice word.

Thinking of the description of the purification space, she hesitated for a moment, looked around, picked up a sharp stone, and then dug at the base of the raspberry.

She worried that if she picked the raspberries one by one and put them into her space, the space would recognize them as seventeen items, which would be a loss.

It was very troublesome not having the right tools. It took Jin Xiaoman nearly twenty minutes, and she even had to dig by hand, before she could roughly dig out the plant's roots and stems.

Then, he used stones to break the roots that were difficult to dig out before he could put the whole thing into the space.

Jin Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the space had determined the entire raspberry plant to be a quantity of 1.

Wipe the sweat from your forehead with the back of your hand.

Jin Xiaoman shifted her gaze to another plant that she had seen about ten meters away when she was looking for the stone.

It was a vine about the thickness of a wrist, with grayish-brown bark, wrapped around the trunk of an unknown tree.

It is most likely kudzu vine.

She had gone into the mountains to dig with her grandmother a few years ago.

She approached, found a suitable spot, and chiseled down with a stone. To her surprise, the soil where the kudzu was growing was soft and damp, completely different from the soil where she had just dug up the raspberries.

The difference was so great in a distance of just over ten meters.

This time, Jin Xiaoman didn't have to exert much effort to expose a section of milky-white tuber to the air.

As she brushed away the soil covering it, Jin Xiaoman revealed a look of ecstatic joy.

This kudzu root has a radius of 30cm, and we don't know how much is buried underground. If it's long enough, it will be a huge fortune.

Jin Xiaoman touched the kudzu root with her fingers, attempting to directly store the item into her spatial storage.

"It's a success."

However, only a short section of the kudzu root was exposed to the air, while the rest remained buried in the soil.

A pop-up notification appears: [Only items exposed to the air and in physical contact with the player can be collected.]

The watch also popped up a notification: [Beep beep, Level 5 radiation plant detected, not edible.]

"I see."

Jin Xiaoman buried himself in digging, determined to make sure that all the kudzu roots were dug out.

The sound of cicadas appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by the calls of partridges. The sun was also blocked by a large number of trees, so it was not annoying.

Jin Xiaoman became more and more enthusiastic as she worked.

An hour later, Jin Xiaoman was covered in sweat, her face full of helplessness and confusion as she looked at the cliff in front of her.

The cliff is not high, estimated to be about twenty meters.

The rock face is not smooth, and in some places there are even several naturally formed shallow steps. Some short grasses and shrubs sprout from the rock peaks, their roots firmly clinging to the rocks, swaying in the wind.

It gives the impression that you could climb it with your bare hands.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the cliff, but the kudzu roots she's been digging have been burrowing into the ground along the cracks in the rock face.

"Looks like this is all we can do for today."

After all, she couldn't dig the cliff open.

Jin Xiaoman clutched her chest, reluctantly choosing to let the space take in the kudzu root.

After a brief tremor, a long tunnel appeared, which was up to 60cm wide and about 1.6 meters deep in some places.

She could only stick half her head out at most when she jumped.

Near the cliff, the kudzu roots were so smooth that they looked as if they had been sliced ​​open by a giant guillotine, and they were still oozing juice.

…………

She didn't feel it while digging, but now that she's suddenly idle, Jin Xiaoman feels a soreness spreading from her shoulder all the way to her palm.

"They've been out for two hours already."

Jin Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, but decided to take a short rest.

There is nothing in the space that has been purified yet.

With nothing to eat or drink, she could only turn her head and look around in boredom.

As her gaze swept over the towering cliffs, she noticed patches of deep green moss growing in areas untouched by sunlight. Jin Xiaoman was delighted; this was good news.

Logically speaking, since there is moss, there is likely a spring flowing down from the cliff, so even if it is still a level 5 radiation, it doesn't matter.

She possesses a space capable of purifying all things.

After resting for nearly ten minutes, Jin Xiaoman got up.

She decided to explore along the cliff face, hoping to find a water source.

After putting the stone that had been accompanying her into her backpack, Jin Xiaoman glanced at her mental state: 75 points, still in good health.

On the way, she continued to scan the surrounding plants with her watch.

Unsurprisingly, they were either level four or level five radiation, and there wasn't even one that could be identified as a species.

Only one plant that looked like a kiwi caught her attention, but unfortunately it was as big as a basketball and blue, making her unsure of its nature.

However, she still picked three, smashed a section of vine with a stone, and tied the kiwis together.

[Beep beep, Level 4 radiation detected. Consumption is not recommended.]

The raspberry had been purified by then, and Jin Xiaoman put it into the kiwi fruit while tossing it into her backpack.

"Let's set an anchor point."

Once the purification process is complete, if it really is kiwifruit, it will be easier to find some tomorrow.

There were several other plants around the kiwi that looked familiar, but she couldn't quite place them.

There aren't many of them, and they're exposed to level 5 radiation. If we pick them and can't eat them, it would be a waste to put them in the purification space.

Jin Xiaoman sighed, "If Grandma were here, she would definitely recognize me."

She had never been separated from her grandmother since she was a child. Even when she went to university, she enrolled in a local university. She didn't know if the old lady could adapt to this sudden situation.

However, Jin Xiaoman also knows that the current arrangement of the game is the best.

All she needs to do is live well and ensure that her grandmother can also live peacefully on Earth.

Jin Xiaoman stretched, suppressed these thoughts, and continued to explore.

Time flew by and it was past 3 p.m., and her mental state had dropped to 27.

The game guide clearly states that you should not let your mental energy drop to zero, and given Jin Xiaoman's current unfamiliarity with the deserted island, she has decided to return now.

Just as she was about to set up an anchor point here so that she could find it tomorrow, she suddenly heard the crisp, continuous sound of water dripping on a stone.

Jin Xiaoman was overjoyed and followed the sound step by step. Sure enough, she saw a small pool more than two meters above the ground.

The pool isn't big, about the size of a round table for eight people, maybe even smaller.

Jin Xiaoman set up an anchor point at the water source.

She looked around and, confirming that she couldn't climb directly, moved three flat stones about ten centimeters high, stacked them up, and placed them at her feet.

This height was just right so she could stand on tiptoe and see the pool.

[Beep beep, Level 3 radiation detected in water source. It is recommended to drink only small amounts.]

"Great, it's even level three."

Jin Xiaoman searched around but found nothing else to hold the water, so she had no choice but to take a gamble.

She used her mind to collect all the water into her space.

Fortunately, just as expected, the water did not scatter but instead clung together, as if it were encased in an invisible container.

After all the water was drained, Jin Xiaoman noticed something at the bottom of the pool that looked like a treasure chest.

Jin Xiaoman used her arms to push herself to the edge of the pool and reached out to take the treasure chest.

The change happened in an instant.

A wild rabbit, about half the height of a person, leaped out of the bushes and kicked straight at Jin Xiaoman with its two thick hind legs.

Jin Xiaoman cried out, her grip loosened, and she fell to the ground.

The rabbit's silhouette barely brushed past her head.
