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

Lin Zhaoyin rushed out at top speed. Her initial target was the two Thunderbirds with half health. She used the Wind and Thunder Sword and Ice Soul Needles to shoot them at close range. After two attacks, she was able to bring them to low health.

After you finish attacking, immediately create distance and wait for the two Thunderbirds to run out of health.

Finally, only the last level 7 Thunderbird boss remained.

Lin Zhaoyin was confident that there wouldn't be any problems in a one-on-one situation.

The Thunderbird had been observing the situation from the back without making any moves, but now that it was the only bird left, it finally took action.

The Thunderbird flapped its wings and spewed out a huge bolt of lightning from its beak.

Lin Zhaoyin no longer needed to worry about other monsters ambushing her, and easily dodged and avoided them.

Using Infinite Ballad again, as soon as the skill took effect, Lin Zhaoyin tucked the suona into the belt she had made herself.

Next, use the Ice Soul Needle and Wind and Thunder Sword for close-range attacks; the physical attack damage is very high.

Unlike the others, this Thunderbird doesn't just flap around aimlessly after losing its five senses. Even though it doesn't know Lin Zhaoyin's location, it still attacks. Maybe it can even pull off a miracle by attacking blindly.

Lin Zhaoyin wouldn't give it a chance to hit her. She went around to the back of the Thunderbird and killed it in the one minute she had.

You have killed 17 Thunderbirds, gaining 1020 experience points, 34 bird meat, 170 feathers, 1 Thunderbird Bracelet, and 760 gold coins.

[Thunderclap Bracelet, Grade B equipment, increases attack by 20 when worn]

[Congratulations to the player who passed the third round of the Natural Disaster Challenge and became the first player in the server to successfully complete the challenge. Reward: 1 Gold Treasure Chest]

Upon hearing the system announcement, Lin Zhaoyin immediately realized something was wrong. Had the system rewards been reduced?

Previously, there was a treasure chest for getting a ranking, and then another treasure chest for getting a ranking. Why did I only get one this time?

The thunderstorm was still ongoing, and Lin Zhaoyin couldn't stay outside any longer, so she decided to hurry back to the stone house. Besides, her hand had been scratched by the Thunderbird and needed to be bandaged as soon as possible.

Fortunately, she had obtained a bandage from the previous waste purification process, which had the function of stopping bleeding, so Lin Zhaoyin quickly wrapped it around herself.

Lin Zhaoyin opened the system panel and began waiting for news from her sister.

The wait was rather long, and Lin Zhaoyin would occasionally check the chat channel.

She knew that this flock of Thunderbirds would not be easy to defeat, and would be extremely dangerous for players without area-of-effect attacks.

However, she did not expect that so many players would perish in this trial. Every time she opened the chat channel, the number of players displayed was decreasing.

About fifteen minutes later, Lin Zhaoyin received a reply from her younger sister, Lin Wanyi.

"Sis, I came in second again! You're amazing, finishing so quickly. I'm a bit exhausted today, I'm going to rest for a bit."

Lin Zhaoyin felt something was wrong when she saw the message. Given her sister's personality, even if she was really tired from fighting, she wouldn't react like this.

[Sis, are you hurt? Did you use all the healing items to stop the bleeding?]

Lin Zhaoyin felt that time was passing very slowly, and it took Lin Wanyi a long time before she finally decided to tell the truth.

"Waaaaah, sis, I was so scared! There were so many birds, I couldn't fight them all! Those nasty birds scratched me so many times, it really hurts!"

Sister, I miss you so much! When will I be able to see you again? I don't want to stay in this awful place anymore!

Lin Zhaoyin was heartbroken, but ultimately powerless to do anything. Her younger sister had only just come of age; how terrifying must it be for her to face all this alone?

"It's okay, don't worry, we've made it through another hurdle. Our Wan Yi is so amazing, she'll definitely be able to see her sister again soon."

Lin Zhaoyin really didn't know what to say, and could only say things to coax the child.

She also misses her family. When will she be able to find her sister and return to the real world to see her parents again?

Lin Wanyi suffered a lot of injuries. After she gave herself a bottle of hemostatic medicine and cried to her sister, she finally felt a little better.

This trial resulted in heavy losses; Lin Zhaoyin's server lost nearly 1 players, and the chat channel only had a little over 5 people left.

The surviving players all noticed this, and the entire chat channel remained silent for a long time, with everyone suppressing their emotions.

Lin Zhaoyin waited a long time before breaking the silence in the channel.

How is everyone...?

Lin Zhaoyin had originally planned that her words would be ignored, but there were still people willing to follow her and listen to her.

[This is terrible. I thought that as long as we worked together, we could get through it, but it didn't work out... So many people died...]

Will we one day disappear from this game? If we die in the game, can we return to our original world?

I don't want to disappear...

Lin Zhaoyin knew her words might be weak, but at this critical juncture, she should still boost morale.

[Don't give up, everyone. If we ourselves are unwilling to keep trying, then there's truly no chance. This game is constantly manipulating everything; since there's a 20% survival rate target, there must be a way to allow more people to survive.]

Lin Zhaoyin always felt that China was the most united and resilient nation in the world. If even they wanted to give up, what would happen to the servers of other countries?

Throughout history, there have always been some people who are warlike and greedy for power and strength. They are powerful, but they will not help the weak.

With Lin Zhaoyin speaking in the chat channel, some people finally began to recover. However, the biggest blow was that some people lost their families, whom they had finally found, during this trial.

Some people recovered and helped to liven up the atmosphere, and finally people started talking about today's completion rewards.

[Did you guys notice? This time, the reward chest has a countdown timer; it can only be opened at 12 PM tomorrow. It seems quite mysterious.]

There must be a special reward; this is the first time I've seen a countdown treasure chest.

Lin Zhaoyin always opened the treasure chests last for her younger sister, so she hadn't noticed before. She only took out her treasure chest to take a look after seeing someone say that there was a countdown.

And when she tried it, the treasure chest was untradeable.

Lin Zhaoyin, who was unlucky, was a little panicked. Although the golden treasure chest might have a guaranteed drop, she was unsure what she would get with her bad luck.

She had been thinking about whether she could open a treasure chest herself someday, but now that the opportunity is right in front of her, she doesn't want it anymore!

However, before everyone could figure out what was going on with the treasure chest, the system announcement came.

[Congratulations to all players for passing the third round of the Calamity Trial!]

[Testing has shown that the survival rate of players in some servers has fallen below 20%. The Calamity Trial has ended, and the Doomsday Game will enter its second phase.]
