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

Around 11 PM, the monsters launched a night attack. The monsters that came at night were all seafood-type monsters, which Lin Zhaoyin could easily handle. Although there were a lot of monsters, Lin Zhaoyin didn't need Zhou Shiyun to heal her; she only asked Zhou Shiyun to help her fight the monsters.

With the experience points gained from killing more than a dozen monsters, Lin Zhaoyin leveled up to level 9.

Originally, Lin Zhaoyin's level and experience were not the highest, but because she had to fight two more monsters after the island was merged, her experience points increased by leaps and bounds.

She was also quite satisfied with the loot from defeating monsters; in addition to the basic drops, she obtained some materials and items. It turned out that her previous lack of everything was due to her luck stat.

Although Zhou Shiyun's leveling up has slowed down, she feels more at ease now, at least she doesn't have to constantly monitor her health bar, fearing that she might accidentally die.

After a good night's sleep, a brand new day begins.

With companions, life on the island became much easier.

The next day, Qin Feng sent over three sets of Azure Scale Armor, and Lin Zhaoyin and the other two put on their new equipment.

No cooking was done today; everyone just ate a watermelon each. As for the two watermelons that didn't work, Lin Zhaoyin cut them into 16 pieces and put them up for sale in the trading area, just like last time.

Because Lin Zhaoyin set conditions for her trading partners, allowing only Chinese players to trade, players from the two island nations spent the entire day arguing in the chat channel.

Lin Zhaoyin watched them grumbling but wasn't angry. When there were good things, she would naturally give priority to her own people. Since the servers merged, transactions in the trading area were basically restricted by nationality.

They only criticized Lin Zhaoyin instead of others, simply because watermelons are something they rarely get to eat even in the real world, and then they were targeted in the game, which made them completely lose their temper.

The easy days only lasted one day before Lin Zhaoyin encountered a new situation.

Lin Zhaoyin had just finished fishing for treasure chests in the morning when she heard the familiar system notification again.

[A player island has been detected within a 1000-meter radius. Do you wish to land?]

Lin Zhaoyin refused for the time being, hoping the other person would do the same. She refused to believe that she would be forced into love by the system again like last time.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhaoyin's hopes were dashed this time, as the opposing player chose to approach her.

Lin Zhaoyin told Zhou Shiyun to hurry to the secondary island. If the other party came ashore, she should just say that they had just met. Although the possibility of meeting on all three islands at the same time was very small, it wasn't impossible.

While staying in the shelter, Lin Zhaoyin looked out the window and noticed something was wrong.

This time, it wasn't just one island that approached me, but two. Or rather, the other party, like me, had also undergone an island merger.

In the entire chat channel, only one captured player mentioned the island merging, and Lin Zhaoyin didn't know why her luck was so bad!

It can't be that player, right?

Lin Zhaoyin still preferred to believe that some players, like herself, did not want to reveal their identities and be targeted.

Soon, the people on the island slowly came into Lin Zhaoyin's view. The one in front was a very tall man, while the other player behind him looked very thin and had a hunched back.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Zhaoyin noticed that the player behind her had a rope tied around his neck, with the other end of the rope in the hand of the player in front.

Lin Zhaoyin secretly despised herself; she really shouldn't have let her mind wander. She'd been thinking for the past two days that it would be better to run into a bad person, and she actually did.

Upon seeing the other person, Lin Zhaoyin quickly sent a message to Zhou Shiyun, telling her not to come out yet, as she planned to go and check the situation first.

The tall, muscular man led another player to Lin Zhaoyin's island. Lin Zhaoyin guessed that it might be because her island was the main island, so it would be used as a connecting point.

"Hey! Is anyone there? Come out quickly!" The man walked near the shelter and started shouting.

A shelter on the second floor—this is definitely a prime target!

Lin Zhaoyin took out a mask and put it on before going out. No matter what the situation might be, she wanted to cover her real face as a precaution.

"Big brother, is something the matter?"

As soon as Lin Zhaoyin went out, the man looked her up and down, lingering particularly long on certain parts of her body.

"Why are you wearing a mask? Are you ashamed to be seen?" The man couldn't see Lin Zhaoyin's face and was clearly displeased.

Lin Zhaoyin simply nodded, "I'm ugly, I have a big scar on my face, I can't show my face to anyone."

The man clicked his tongue, his expression displeased. "That island next door is yours too? Are you all alone?"

These words were clearly meant to probe Lin Zhaoyin's background, to find out if Lin Zhaoyin obtained the island by killing other players.

Lin Zhaoyin hesitated for a moment, saying that it was not bad to say that she had killed people, but if the person was a bully who picked on the weak and feared the strong, he might just leave without a care, and she would have to rid the people of this scourge!

"It's not mine. My encounter with that neighboring island was forced; we've never met each other before."

The man glanced at the small island next door; the few plots of land there, adjacent to Lin Zhaoyin's main island, looked particularly striking, which greatly tempted him. Moreover, because of Lin Zhaoyin's earlier answer, he had relaxed his guard; he was no longer a coward who wouldn't even dare to leave the house.

"They're all useless cowards! Come on, let's go take a look!"

"Big brother, we're all players, there's no need for this. Wouldn't it be better to just stay peaceful?" Lin Zhaoyin looked very scared and didn't want to go with them.

The man glared fiercely at Lin Zhaoyin. "If you don't go, you'll end up like this guy! You probably don't know, do you? As long as you reduce other players to less than 5% health, you can enslave them and even seize the island. You may be ugly, but in this godforsaken place, finding a woman is good enough..."

Lin Zhaoyin didn't want to listen to this bastard's foul language. Now that she was certain that this person was no good, it would be better to control him as soon as possible.

Lin Zhaoyin feigned fear and reassured the man, "Brother, don't be angry. How about I go with you to take a look first? To express my apology, how about I sing you a song?"

Although the man didn't know why Lin Zhaoyin suddenly wanted to sing for him, he nodded in agreement. "Sing well."

Lin Zhaoyin revealed a kind smile and prepared to sing.
