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

The ground on the island was very firm, so Lin Zhaoyin couldn't just stick the iron rod into the ground directly. She had to dig a hole first before she could put the iron rod in.

Lin Zhaoyin brought a dagger with her, which was quite useful for digging.

Lin Zhaoyin was terrified the whole time she was digging the hole, as lightning struck around her several times.

But it was precisely through her willingness to experiment that Lin Zhaoyin discovered the pattern of lightning. Every minute there would be a small lightning strike, and after six strikes, there would be a five-minute break before a large one would strike.

The location of the lightning strikes is uncertain and should be purely random, but Lin Zhaoyin always manages to dodge them. It's unclear whether it's because she's wearing a raincoat that insulates her from the lightning, or whether the lightning simply doesn't strike players.

Finally, Lin Zhaoyin dug a 20-centimeter-deep hole, inserted the iron rod, and then filled it back in with the excavated soil, tamping it down firmly.

There's not only lightning right now, but the hurricane hasn't stopped either, so it needs to be buried securely.

After doing all this, Lin Zhaoyin quickly ran back to the shelter and told her sister about her discoveries and experiences.

Lin Wanyi initially wanted to go first, since she had a high luck stat and might be able to avoid the lightning, but Lin Zhaoyin firmly opposed it.

Lin Wanyi finally felt relieved after seeing the message from her sister.

What is certain is that whether or not one gets struck by lightning should not be affected by luck value; otherwise, with Lin Zhaoyin's unlucky constitution, she would probably be charred and roasted by now.

Whether it's because lightning itself doesn't attack players, or because they're wearing protective gear, the sisters don't plan to test it. No one dares to risk their life for such a test!

Wearing equipment that can protect against lightning greatly increases the chances of safety.

While Lin Wanyi went out to put away the iron rod, Lin Zhaoyin kept observing the lightning outside through the window.

She deliberately buried the iron rod in a position that could be clearly seen through the glass window to confirm whether the homemade lightning rod extending from the iron rod was actually effective.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Lin Zhaoyin finally saw a bolt of lightning strike the iron rod, and the struck iron rod emitted some electric sparks.

The shelter is still attacked by lightning, but the frequency has been greatly reduced, and the homemade lightning rod has indeed worked.

While waiting for her sister's message, Lin Zhaoyin also checked the chat channel, where everyone was discussing how to make their own lightning rods.

Some players have already shared their methods, including the freezing skill method that Lin Wanyi came up with. However, these methods are not suitable for everyone, and many people still cannot make their own lightning rods.

Lin Zhaoyin quickly posted her cement method as well. Cement, as a building material, can be purchased from the system shop, and processing materials is not the only way. Therefore, Lin Zhaoyin's method also solved the problem of the remaining players not having special skills or items.

By now, many people have successfully made their own lightning rods, but most people still dare not face lightning directly.

[Everyone, please take precautions. Wear plastic raincoats or wrap yourself in a plastic sheet, and you should be fine. I've successfully installed the lightning rod, and it really works.]

Lin Zhaoyin has long been the backbone of this server. When she says it's okay, quite a few people boldly go out and try it.

At this time, Lin Wanyi also successfully returned to the shelter and reported her safety to Lin Zhaoyin.

By the time everyone had finished the lightning rod project, most of the morning had already passed.

Who knows when today's monster will arrive, or what it will be? To prevent another instance of going hungry because she missed a meal, Lin Zhaoyin decided to cook early today.

Lin Wan-yi has the best luck, but she has only gotten meat twice so far, so the two sisters eat seafood most of the time.

Although Lin Zhaoyin was unlucky, her intuition was always accurate. She ate lunch early today, and the strange thing arrived early as well.

Along with the sound of thunder, Lin Zhaoyin faintly heard a hissing sound. A dark bird appeared and disappeared in the clouds, then gradually approached the island, finally circling above it.

Today, everyone faces the same monsters, and they all come together. All players must fight them individually; no one can wait for someone else's strategy and reap the benefits.

Lin Zhaoyin put her raincoat back on and went out to confront the black bird.

[Thunderbird, Level 7, Bird Race, Attack 38, Defense 21, Agility 36]

It's another monster with high attributes, and judging from its name, its skills are probably lightning-based, which is why it appeared with this lightning explosion.

Faced with the highly agile flying monster, Lin Zhaoyin immediately spread her wings, ready to take flight at any moment.

Both being level 7 birds, Thunderbird was much faster than Icecrackbird. Upon seeing Lin Zhaoyin, it immediately swooped down and flew over.

Now that Lin Zhaoyin has the Wings of the Abyss, she can fly too, and she flies much faster than the Thunderbird.

She has just eaten and has plenty of energy, so she doesn't need to worry about the energy expenditure of flying.

A bolt of lightning shot out from the beak of the Thunderbird, heading straight for Lin Zhaoyin, who nimbly dodged it using her flying ability.

This was a battle of speed, and close combat was not an option, so Lin Zhaoyin immediately began using skills to attack the Thunderbird.

"Fire Technique!"

"Wind Blade!"

Previously, both of these skills were able to completely counter Ice Splitter Bird, and Wind Blade could even severely injure it, but this A-rank skill is not very effective against Thunderbird.

The Thunderbird can not only dodge, but also defend with lightning, which reduces the effectiveness of wind-type moves.

On the contrary, Fireball is a B-rank skill, but it's more useful right now. However, Fireball consumes more stamina and doesn't have the double damage advantage it does against ice-type monsters, so it's a big loss if it gets dodged.

Lin Zhaoyin also tried attacking with Ice Soul Needles, but the distance between the two sides sometimes exceeded the maximum attack range of the Ice Soul Needles, and fast-moving enemies were more difficult to hit.

The Thunderbird did not harm Lin Zhaoyin at all, but it was not an easy task for Lin Zhaoyin to kill the Thunderbird quickly.

After missing her target with Fireball once again, Lin Zhaoyin felt she should rethink her tactics. This was only the first monster of the day; she couldn't afford to use up all her stamina.

Lin Zhaoyin was faster than the Thunderbird, so she wanted to try to force a close-range attack.

The old method: use the electromagnetic rod to apply a 3-second paralysis effect, then attack with the Wind and Thunder Sword, a two-pronged approach.

Lin Zhaoyin forgot that the Thunderbird was of the lightning attribute, so the electromagnetic rod's paralyzing effect failed.

Because of the close proximity, Lin Zhaoyin was almost injured by a lightning attack from the Thunderbird.

Lin Zhaoyin originally thought that she had already killed level 7 monsters when she was level 5, and now that her attributes had increased so much, dealing with this Thunderbird would definitely be no problem. However, reality gave her a heavy blow.

We've already wasted too much time; we can't keep dragging this out any longer.

Lin Zhaoyin gritted her teeth. Did she really have to use that move?
