I understand what the furry ones are saying. I'm going crazy killing people in the apocalypse.

Task two:
[Safe Return (Task Completion Rewards: 10 Advanced Life Repair Fluids, 1000000 Gold Coins)]

???

Ji Li looked at Task 2, her mind full of questions.

What is safe return?
Just at this moment, the game panel popped up and a cold mechanical sound rang in my ears.

[——Announcement of Doomsday Law——]

[The Cangming Continent Extreme Survival Challenge has officially begun. Players are requested to prepare in advance. Survivors will be randomly selected to join this challenge in three days.]

[This challenge requires players to travel through deserts and rainforests. The survivor who finally reaches the end will receive a non-attribute crystal core (only for the top ten). I hope all players will work hard to survive to the end and win.]

"!!!"

Ji Li’s eyes widened.

Survival challenge?

Wait - randomly selecting survivors to participate? Does she need to randomly select? Looking at Task 2, maybe not...

at the same time.

The entire Cangming Continent was in an uproar.

"Extreme Survival Challenge? What does that mean?"

"Fuck the survival challenge! Isn't this just asking us all to die?"

"Survival is hard enough now, and this crappy game has to do this? It's trying to destroy humanity..."

"Am I the only one who is interested in the attributeless crystal core?"

"..."

Taoyuan Base Affairs Center.

Everyone sat around the conference table, discussing the contents of the announcement with serious expressions.

Liang Jing's face changed after receiving the announcement. It was obvious that the game was pushing them to death, and the only thing they could do now was to prepare supplies in advance and wait for the draw.

Du Xinze's fat face was melancholy: "We have to prepare in advance. There are only three days. Who will be so unlucky to be selected by this crappy game..."

Ji Li: “…”

She is very unlucky QAQ.

Sitting at the conference table, Ji Li pursed her lips and thought for two seconds, then looked at them: "If I am selected by the game, I'll trouble you to help protect Taoyuan..."

"Pear!"

Ji Yang interrupted his sister: "You will definitely not be selected, don't talk nonsense..."

"Yes, yes, Lord, you will definitely not be chosen by the game."

"What if?"

Ji Li said with a pale and tender face: "Let's be prepared. The desert and rainforest are definitely dangerous. We must bring enough water and food. Also, remember to collect the high temperature protective clothing later."

Ji Yang was silent.

Yes, what if?
But Ji Yang still prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his sister would be safe and not be selected by the game. If possible, he was willing to go to the desert rainforest in place of his sister.

End of the meeting.

Time was limited, so Qu Jin started to get busy and arranged for everyone to make preparations in advance.

Invisibly, the sense of urgency intensified. The entire Taoyuan base, no, the entire Cangming Continent was filled with a dull atmosphere.

Ji Li sat by the window, holding her chin with one hand, looking at the sky dyed red by the sunset, her thoughts drifting away.

The base has undergone some major changes with this upgrade.

First of all is the most important wall. The wall built with special materials is indestructible, and the refracted light is bright and dazzling. A plaque is hung on the black and gold gate with four large characters written on it in a flamboyant style: Taoyuan Base.

In addition, various four-wheeled vehicles were newly unlocked, so there was no need to go out to find a car! Ji Li spent 100,000 gold coins to buy ten off-road vehicles, and placed them in the parking lot.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Ji Li finished washing up early and prepared to go to bed.

……

……

The next day.

Ji Li was awakened by the heat.

He lifted the quilt in a daze, paused for more than ten seconds, and suddenly realized something. He opened his eyes abruptly, sat up, looked down at himself, his lips slightly parted, his face full of shock: Wow!

She recovered!!!

She finally recovered!!!

Woo woo woo.

Ji Li fell back on the bed and rolled around happily for a few times. She thought she would have to live with the body of a three-year-old for the rest of her life and had already made plans for the worst, but she didn't expect to recover so quickly!
The sleepiness completely disappeared. Ji Li got up, changed her clothes, went to the washstand and looked at herself in the mirror. After confirming again that she had really recovered, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After I finish washing up, I will go and tell my brother Ji Yang the news.

Ji Yang was very happy to see his sister finally recover, but he was also a little uneasy: "Why did she recover at this time? What if Lili is chosen to take on the challenge..."

"Brother." The girl said seriously, "Even if we are really chosen by the game, there is no way to change it. All we can do is protect ourselves and return safely."

Yes, it cannot be changed and cannot be changed.

Countdown to the last day.

Ji Li gave the life repair fluid to her brother Ji Yang. There were only six bottles of the repair fluid. She thought about it and gave the remaining four bottles to Pei Ji, Xie Xun, Qu Jin and Qiao Qian.

Six hours left.

We had a lively dinner together and talked freely about the future.

One hour countdown.

Ji Li was sitting in the living room, holding the black panther in her arms. The furry creatures were surrounding them. They seemed to have noticed something and lay quietly on the floor, not making any noise.

"Pretty sister, who do you think the game will choose?"

Lin Yaozu broke the silence.

Ji Li shook her head and said jokingly: "I don't know either, let's see who will be unlucky..."

Everyone stayed in the living room, waiting for the final result.

"Li Li, have you packed everything? Do you have enough crystal cores? I still have some." As the countdown continued, Ji Yang became more and more uneasy. "What if, I mean what if you are really chosen, you must protect yourself."

"Well, don't worry."

Qin Jie distributed a signal gun to everyone, which would definitely be useful in times of crisis.

Half an hour countdown.

Du Xinze couldn't help but stand up and walk around the living room twice, complaining: "I haven't slept well in the past three days. What kind of challenge is this game? I'm really impressed!"

"..."

The countdown is left with ten minutes.

Everyone fell silent. They looked at the alarm clock on the coffee table, and no one spoke.

Time passed by minute by minute.

As the pointer reached twelve o'clock and one second, a blinding white light flashed before my eyes.
