Post-apocalyptic game: I survive at sea by scavenging for trash.

Lately, she's been eating mostly dry food and seafood, and Lin Zhaoyin feels that her stomach, which lacks oil and fat, is quite unpleasant.

There just happened to be an item in the shop: 200ml of cooking oil, which cost exactly 1000 gold coins. Lin Zhaoyin placed the order almost without hesitation, even though this item wasn't considered a necessity by others.

With the oil, Lin Zhaoyin had more cooking options and no longer had to eat barbecue and boiled seafood every day. It was just a pity that this small bottle of oil looked pitifully small; she didn't know how many times it would last.

If the situation remains the same for the next two days, Lin Zhaoyin will continue her business of selling rotten flesh. Opportunities to make money are rare, and this business also helps others, so why not?

Gold coins are really hard to earn, so Lin Zhaoyin needs to save up the rest of her money and wait for the shop to be upgraded before buying some more useful items.

Currently, everyone's system shop is at level 1. Once your character reaches level 5, the shop will upgrade to level 2, unlocking more items.

The experience bar for level 4 is 1600 points, but given the current level and frequency of monster appearances, leveling up again should only take a few days.

Lin Wanyi originally planned to give the gas mask to her sister after she finished fishing for the treasure chest, but unexpectedly, she got another gas mask while fighting monsters in the afternoon, so she gave the extra mask to her sister.

Lin Wanyi was very happy to finally be able to contribute something for her sister.

With the gas mask, Lin Zhaoyin no longer worries about going out and can continue fishing for treasure chests every day.

Lin Zhaoyin has reaped considerable profits each day from opening treasure chests, purifying garbage, and selling rotten flesh. Her magical potted plant also produces beneficial fruits daily, not only providing stat boosts but also improving the taste of the food.

However, not everyone can have a good time during this period.

The toxic smog persisted until the seventh day of the disaster, making survival increasingly difficult for players without lighting or protective gear. The number of players displayed in the chat channel continued to decline, and in just a few days, the server's population had dwindled from 10 to less than 8.

Is the 20% survival rate initially stated by the game system really achievable?

Day 10 of the game calendar, heavy smog, 17 degrees Celsius.

The island was unusually quiet today; not a single monster appeared all morning. But no one was happy about it, because everyone knew that DogGame was brewing something big.

Everyone did everything they could before an even bigger crisis arrived, trying to maximize their fighting strength.

At 12 noon, the system issued a game announcement.

[Attention all players! A monster horde is approaching on Cataclysmic Day. Please prepare for battle.]

[Players who survive this trial will receive a game gift pack. Good luck!]

Lin Zhaoyin's palms were slightly sweaty. Every night before, a wave of seven or eight monsters would attack the island, and the players should already be familiar with how to deal with large numbers of monsters.

However, the game's Tianyin specifically mentioned the monster tide. Could it be that the number of monsters is even greater than the number of monsters that raid every night?

Lin Zhaoyin quickly learned the answer. Not just more, but twice as much!

当游戏天音结束播放的3分钟后，亡灵军团登陆了。15只2级和3级的亡灵族的身后，还有1只4级的骷髅王。

[Mist Skeleton King, Level 4, Race: Undead, Attack 20, Defense 15, Agility 10, Skill: Undead Resurrection, Weakness: Protection]

This Skeleton King is a healer, no wonder he's hiding at the very back!

If we don't deal with the Skeleton King, the mobs in front of us will keep healing endlessly. We have to kill the Skeleton King first.

Lin Zhaoyin grabbed the electromagnetic baton and charged straight into the monster horde. The baton could paralyze enemies it hit for 3 seconds, which made Lin Zhaoyin's path much smoother.

The Mist Ghost is highly agile, so if Lin Zhaoyin fails to hit it, she might as well give up. After all, the little ghost's attack is low, and taking a couple of hits won't be a big problem.

However, these monsters were very protective of the healer. Once they realized that Lin Zhaoyin was going to fight the Skeleton King, they began to rush forward to block her path.

The plan to defeat the Skeleton King has reached a stalemate, so Lin Zhaoyin decides to take a risk and defeat them one by one!

"Candy Crush!" Lin Zhaoyin began using area-of-effect skills on the Mist Zombies, the most powerful undead. Originally, these level 2 and 3 zombies could be killed with a maximum of 6 candy crush attacks, but the Skeleton King's healing was also an area-of-effect skill. As the Mist Zombies were attacked and healed at the same time, their health dropped at a slower rate.

However, Lin Zhaoyin's attack power is higher than the Skeleton King's healing power. As long as she keeps releasing skills, she can eventually wipe out all these zombies.

After the 11th match-3 skill, only the Mist Skeleton and Mist Ghost remained as undead monsters on the island.

Lin Zhaoyin has 120 stamina points left. As long as she can kill the Skeleton King, she will have enough stamina points left.

Sure enough, with five fewer zombies blocking her way, Lin Zhaoyin got closer and closer to the Skeleton King. After fighting the skeleton ghosts for more than ten minutes, Lin Zhaoyin finally succeeded in her attack! The Skeleton King lost health!

The Skeleton King, as a healer, is quite useless; he can only heal others but cannot heal himself.

As long as Lin Zhaoyin can continue to attack the Skeleton King, even if other monsters keep popping up to obstruct her, Lin Zhaoyin will be able to take care of it sooner or later!

Twenty minutes later, Lin Zhaoyin finally delivered the final blow, successfully killing the Skeleton King.

The instant the Skeleton King was killed, the Mist Skeletons and Mist Undead suddenly went berserk, and all the minions attacked Lin Zhaoyin simultaneously.

However, since these monsters no longer had healers to restore their health, Lin Zhaoyin was no longer afraid. She simply took the electromagnetic baton and started hitting them, releasing a wave of "Match-3" whenever she saw a suitable opportunity.

Without a healer, the monsters were no match for Lin Zhaoyin; it was only a matter of time before she wiped them all out.

A series of message notifications left Lin Zhaoyin somewhat overwhelmed. Besides being pleasantly surprised, she was also a little curious.

I'm ranked 6th on the server-wide power rankings, and I'm only the 5th person to successfully challenge this game. It seems there are quite a few hidden masters in this game!
