Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

Lin Yu stood on the edge of the initial island, his Hun Tian Cloak moving without wind, carrying him into the sky.

His third eye on his forehead had already been opened, his gaze piercing through layers of void. He activated the [Heavenly Eye] at full power, his field of vision constantly expanding, scanning the surrounding floating islands like a reconnaissance satellite.

Rocky islands, plants, and player figures moving like ants, sometimes bursting with energy collisions and halos, are all within sight.

Lin Yu is searching.

Find that possible "Diamond" player, whose value is 200 points according to the rules.

However, it must be said that the other party's ability to hide was extremely good; even Lin Yu's [Heavenly Eye] had difficulty finding him.

On another note, Lin Yu had now confirmed that there was indeed a powerful diamond-level player in the current game.

There are many reasons, and he could vaguely sense that there was an obscure energy fluctuation lurking in the game world.

"As expected..." Lin Yu felt a chill in his heart, but he was not surprised. The 9002 community must have something to rely on to launch a merger challenge.

This diamond-level player is their ace.

Just then, the distress call on the temporary operations channel became even more urgent.

"We can't hold them off! We need backup!"

"The swordsman is seriously injured! Does anyone have any healing potions?!"

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

The channel was filled with chaotic commands, clearly indicating that the [Wind Swordsman] squad was in dire straits.

The other players in the 9002 neighborhood are quickly closing in, trying to wipe out the elite squad from 9527 in one fell swoop.

【Dark Night Blade】 and 【Iron Wall】 have personally rushed to the battlefield, but judging from the intermittent communication in the channel, they have also been intercepted by other Platinum-level experts in the 9002 community and are unable to reach the core battlefield in time.

If the Platinum-level team "Wind Swordsman" is wiped out, it will be a devastating blow to the morale of the 9527 community, and the score gap will widen instantly.

Can't wait any longer.

Lin Yu made a decision instantly.

Since we can't find that diamond-level one for the time being, let's resolve the immediate crisis first and take this opportunity to amass a large number of points.

With a thought, he communicated with the diamond-grade accessory in his equipment—[King's Skull].

It was a crystal skull the size of an adult's fist, with two eerie blue flames burning in its eyes, making it look quite bizarre.

The moment Lin Yu began to communicate, an icy, bone-chilling aura spread out from Lin Yu.

Lin Yu poured his own magic power into the [King's Skull], simultaneously activating the vast soul fire energy stored within the [King's Soul Fire].

He did not choose to use the Undead Scourge Resurrection Battlefield Undead Remains, after all, the game environment this time was special and undead remains were scarce.

He used another ability of the [King's Skull] – [King's Guard].

Om-!

Centered on the floating island where Lin Yu was located, dozens of dark openings of varying sizes appeared in the void.

A chilling, deathly aura of the undead surged forth, followed by figures radiating powerful energy fluctuations stepping out from within.

The two guards at the front were clad in rusty black heavy armor engraved with ancient runes, their eyes glowing with platinum-level ghostly blue soul fire, and each wielded a massive saber and a bone hammer bound with chains.

Their auras were as heavy as mountains; they were two Platinum-level Death Knight Guards.

Following closely behind were ten undead creatures of varying sizes, all radiating the peak aura of the Gold rank.

They come in various types, including archers, mages, abominations, ghasts, and all sorts of undead creatures.

Behind them were eighty-eight elite undead of various ranks, ranging from silver to gold, forming a formidable formation.

These were the hundred [King's Guards] that Lin Yu summoned after consuming all of his [King's Soul Fire].

"Go, assist the players in District 9527 to annihilate all enemies in District 9002!" Lin Yu issued the order to the Royal Guard through the [King's Skull].

The next moment, the soul flames in the eyes of the two Platinum-level Death Knight Guardians blazed brightly, and they let out a silent roar. They took the first step, their figures blurring, and used an ability similar to short-distance spatial jump to rush towards the distant battlefield.

The remaining undead guards also began to move, like a torrent of death surging towards the coordinate area.

The battle zone was now a scene of utter devastation.

Several interconnected floating islands were riddled with holes, the rocks melting and then solidifying, leaving behind grotesque marks.

The Swordsman of Wind knelt on the ground, leaning on a long, cracked wind sword. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his armor was charred in many places, clearly indicating that he had been severely injured by the Lava Beast's fierce attack.

He is quickly taking medicine to help his wound heal.

His three remaining gold-level teammates stood back to back, struggling to maintain a crumbling joint shield against the relentless attacks from the players in the surrounding 9002 neighborhood.

The Lava Giant is a burly man nearly three meters tall with rough, dark red skin like cooled lava.

He laughed wildly, each punch he threw carrying the terrifying force of a meteorite impact and scorching dark green hellfire, forcing the [Iron Barrier]—the burly man holding the giant shield—to only be able to defend passively, facing constant danger.

Five other Platinum-level players from Community 9002 were also watching closely, surrounding and killing the remaining two Platinum-level players from Community 9527, [Dark Night Blade] and [Moon Shadow].

Their excellent teamwork allowed them to completely suppress the several small teams that came to provide support from the 9527 community.

"Hahaha! You trash from 9527, today is your death day!" [Lava Behemoth] roared, punching [Iron Barrier] so hard that it was forced to retreat, and clear cracks appeared on the shield.

"Once we've slaughtered you platinum-level players, let's see what you'll use to fight us then!"

[Dark Night Blade] moved through the shadows, but a Platinum-level player from the 9002 district followed closely, always managing to intercept him in time.

Meanwhile, the remaining four Platinum-level players in 9002—a mage specializing in ice magic, an archer, and two warriors—are also assisting in the attack.

A sense of despair spread through the hearts of the 9527 players.

Just then, the temperature in the world suddenly dropped, and a chilling, deathly aura swept in from the flank of the battlefield like a tide.

"What is that?!"

"Undead?! Where did these undead come from?!"

Both sides involuntarily slowed their attacks, staring in horror at the direction from which the aura was coming.

Two death knights, clad in heavy armor and riding skeletal warhorses, appeared out of nowhere at the edge of the battlefield, like vanguards from the underworld.

They remained silent, their ghostly blue soulfire locked onto the Lava Behemoth and the Ice Mage.

The next moment, one of the death knights raised his saber, and terrifying death energy condensed on the blade, transforming into a gray-black blade aura that stretched for a hundred meters, tearing through the air and slashing towards the [Lava Behemoth].

Another death knight hurled a bone hammer bound with chains, which grew longer in the wind, transforming into a giant hammer that smashed down on the [Ice Mage].

"Platinum-level undead?! Two of them?!" The Lava Beast's expression changed drastically. It could no longer care about attacking the Iron Barrier. With a roar, its lava skin burst forth with a dazzling red light. It crossed its fists to block and took the death blade's energy head-on.

boom--!!!

Amidst the deafening explosion, the Lava Beast was cleaved backward, carving a deep trench in the ground, leaving a deep, charred gash on its lava-like skin.

The Ice Mage was in a much worse state; the frost shield he hastily erected shattered like glass under the bombardment of the bone hammer, and he was so shaken that he coughed up blood and was sent flying backward.

This sudden turn of events brought the entire battlefield to a standstill.

Immediately afterwards, even more undead guards arrived!

Elite undead formed battle formations, crushing the lines of the 9002 district like a meat grinder.

"They're our reinforcements!"

"Wow! Hahaha, there's a hidden master in our neighborhood!"

"Kill! Cooperate with our undead brothers and wipe out that scumbag 9002!"

The players in 9527 were stunned at first, then burst into thunderous cheers, their morale soaring instantly.

【Dark Blade】 and 【Iron Wall】 exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and ecstasy in each other's eyes.

Although they had guessed that there might still be platinum members in the community (as Lin Yu and Xuan Cheng had revealed), they did not expect that this "expert" would make such a world-shaking move.

It directly summoned an army of undead, including two Platinum-level players.

"The time to fight back has come!" [Iron Barrier] roared, slamming its giant shield into the ground and activating a group taunt skill to attract a large amount of firepower.

【Nightblade】, like a venomous snake merging into the shadows, seized the moment when the annoying fellow was forced back by a death knight guard, instantly appearing behind him and thrusting her dagger straight into his heart.

The assassin was caught off guard and struggled to dodge, but was still stabbed in the shoulder by the dark green dagger.

At a critical moment, another Platinum-level warrior from 9002 stepped forward to provide support, giving him a chance to catch his breath.

[Wind Swordsman] had recovered some of his combat strength by this time. Seeing the situation change drastically, he disregarded his injuries and directly charged into the battlefield with his sword, holding off another warrior, Platinum.

[Moon Shadow] The pressure is greatly reduced, allowing her to concentrate on exchanging fire with that nasty archer on the other side.

After the undead fully joined the battlefield, [Iron Barrier] also stopped taunting, returned to the Platinum battlefield, and charged towards the area where the heavily injured Frost Mage was located.

The other person is taking drugs like crazy.

The tide of battle turned in an instant.

Led by two Platinum-level Undead Guards, the players of 9527, now reinforced, unleashed astonishing combat power and began to push back the lines of 9002.

On the leaderboard, the total points of community 9527 began to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The points gained from defeating Gold and Silver level players, along with the energy crystals they stole, quickly narrowed the gap between the two sides.

Lin Yu remained on the distant floating island, remotely controlling the undead army through the [King's Skull], while the [Heavenly Eye] vigilantly scanned the entire situation.

He did not personally intervene, preserving his strength to deal with the ultimate threat.

But it must be said that the feeling of strategizing and overwhelming with a massive army of summoned creatures is quite impressive.

However, just as the situation in Residential Community 9527 was looking very promising and was about to deal a heavy blow to Residential Community 9002, the main force—

A sudden change has occurred!

......

The sky above the entire floating island group began to shake violently without warning.

An indescribable chaotic energy erupted from the core area of ​​the battlefield.

[WARNING! Extremely high intensity void energy storm detected!]

The system's warning rang sharply in every player's mind.

Above the center of the battlefield, the sky cracked like a shattered mirror, forming a huge, constantly rotating dark vortex.

Within the vortex, a chaotic flow of energy, brimming with destructive power, cascaded down like a waterfall, instantly engulfing an area spanning tens of kilometers.

"It's a void storm! Run!"

"Damn it! Why now?!"

"Get out of the way!"

Neither side cared about fighting; the instinct for survival overwhelmed everything.

Players used all their skills to try to escape the storm's area or find sturdy cover.

The Lava Beast roared, its body radiating intense lava light as it attempted to withstand the attack.

【Dark Night Blade】transformed into a shadow and swiftly disappeared into a crevice in the mountainside of a floating island.

【Iron Barrier】 plunges a giant shield deep into the ground, shrinks the entire person behind the shield, and activates the strongest defensive skill.

Lin Yu also frowned slightly; this storm couldn't have come at the worst possible time.

But he couldn't ignore it. It was too late to run now. The [Heavenly Cloak] shone brightly with crimson light, automatically protecting its master.

At the same time, he fully activated the "Divine Fire Heart Sutra," and pure yang heart fire formed a protective aura around his body.

The golden feather on his shoulder chirped urgently, and Lin Yu reached out and grabbed it, stuffing it into his Hun Tian Cloak.

At that very moment, the void storm erupted completely.

Wherever the turbulent energy passed, rocks and vines were instantly torn apart, decomposed, and annihilated.

The two Platinum-level undead guards closest to the eye of the storm, along with their skeletal warhorses, let out a silent wail before their soulfire was extinguished, their massive bodies torn into the most basic energy particles by the storm.

The other undead guards and a large number of low-level players vanished completely, like snow under the sun, before they could even let out a scream.

The floating islands were torn apart and reassembled, and the connecting channels were completely erased.

Lin Yu felt an irresistible force strike him, and the protective aura of the [Heavenly Cloak] swayed violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.

The next moment, the storm completely engulfed him.

The world spins and time and space are out of order.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yu recovered from the intense dizziness and tearing sensation.

He found himself lying on a completely unfamiliar floating island.

The island is small, with sparse vegetation, rugged terrain, and the air still carries the chaotic energy of a void storm.

He quickly checked his own condition.

My health dropped by a third, my mana was mostly depleted, the durability of the [Heavenly Cloak] decreased by a tenth, and other equipment also suffered varying degrees of damage.

Fortunately, it did not suffer serious damage.

"Golden Feather." With a thought, he released the Golden Feather from his bosom.

The little guy seemed a bit frightened; its feathers were somewhat disheveled, but it was fine. It affectionately rubbed against Lin Yu's palm.

Lin Yu stood up, activated his [Heavenly Eye], and scanned his surroundings.

The originally relatively concentrated battlefield has been completely scattered.

As far as the eye could see, only a few scattered floating islands drifted in the void, far apart from each other, and most of them were dilapidated.

The massive undead army that had been fighting was almost completely wiped out, except for a very few that might have survived because they were far from the edge of the storm.

This energy seemed to target the summoned creatures, because Lin Yu saw that some Gold-level players actually survived the storm, while the Platinum-level undead died instantly.

The channel was in chaos, filled with anxious inquiries and intermittent reports.

"Is anyone there? I'm still alive! Where am I?"

"Captain! Captain, are you there?"

"See those guys in 9002? Take them out!"

"Leadership! Look at the leadership!"

Lin Yu looked at the system interface.

On the leaderboard, because a large number of players from both sides were "cleared" during the storm (the system judges it as an environmental kill and does not increase points), the current point difference is still the same as before, with no significant change.

Community 9002 still holds a slight lead due to its earlier advantages.

On the individual leaderboard, Lin Yu's ID, Demon Hunter, still holds the top spot, since all the monsters he killed with his undead were counted as his.

By this time, the players in the 9527 community also knew that the "big shot" they were talking about was this player called "Demon Hunter".

To be honest, none of them actually knew Lin Yu; only players from the Heroes' Gathering and the Blazing Sun Fist Alliance knew him.

Of course, their reactions after the name was confirmed were different. Xuancheng looked like he knew it, while the high-ranking players of the Blazing Sun Fist Alliance looked like they had just eaten a dead mouse.

Lin Yu checked the situation in the channel and found that the battlefield had changed a lot. Most of the players who survived in the void storm had been teleported to different areas.

Players who die will be resurrected on different, randomly selected floating islands after being downgraded.

The void storm completely transformed what was originally a head-on confrontation into a chaotic free-for-all.

All players are randomly dropped into a vast cluster of floating islands, where they either fight for themselves or seek out new teammates.

This wasn't really a big problem for Lin Yu.

In fact, this chaotic environment is more suitable for players with extremely strong individual skills to perform, and it makes it easier for him to hunt down lone enemies.

Especially... the players in the 9002 neighborhood who may have also been scattered by the storm.

He needs to get back into shape as soon as possible and determine his position and goals.

First, it's about repairing equipment and restoring mana.

Lin Yu took out the [Universal Repair Tool] and repaired the durability of the [Heavenly Cloak] and other severely damaged equipment.

He drank another mouthful of the Pure Spirit Spring and a large amount of recovery potions, bringing his health and mana back above normal.

Then comes reconnaissance.

He sent Jinling flying high into the sky, using his [Divine Eagle Eyesight] to survey a wider area.

At the same time, his own "Heavenly Eye" was also sensing the energy fluctuations around him.

He soon made a discovery.

On a larger island about two kilometers to the left of his floating island, clear sounds of energy collisions and shouts of battle could be heard.

Judging from the energy characteristics, at least several Gold-level and several Silver-level individuals are engaged in combat.

"Let's start from here." A cold glint flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and the [Heavenly Cloak] unfolded, transforming into a streak of crimson light as it glided towards the floating island.

On the floating island where the battle is taking place, three players from community 9527 are locked in a fierce struggle.

Two warrior players wielding melee weapons, and a mage player constantly casting healing spells and shields.

Their opponents were four players from the 9002 community, and all four of them were no less skilled than them.

Whether in terms of numbers or individual strength, Team 9002 has a clear advantage.

"Give up, you trash 9527!" A player from 9002 laughed wildly, slamming his axe into the shield, causing the warrior to stagger backward.

An archer's arrow silently shot toward the mage's back, but was narrowly deflected by another warrior's sword. The venom on the arrow corroded the blade, making a sizzling sound.

"Fight them!" the warrior roared through gritted teeth, as scorching flames rose from the blade of his sword.

Just when all hope seemed lost, a streak of crimson light descended from the sky like a meteor, landing precisely in the open space between the two groups.

The light faded, revealing Lin Yu's figure.

His expression was calm, with a magnificent golden plume perched on his shoulder, and his [Heavenly Cloak] fluttering without wind, exuding an extraordinary aura.

The sudden appearance of a third party startled both sides, causing them to instinctively cease their attacks.

"Who goes there?" Player 9002 asked warily, sensing an inexplicable pressure emanating from Lin Yu.

Lin Yu did not answer, but his gaze swept across the battlefield, instantly assessing the situation.

"Take them down," Lin Yu said calmly to the golden feather on his shoulder.

The moment he spoke, Lin Yu's figure vanished. The next moment, he appeared like a ghost behind a player in the 9002-person group, dressed in a robe and holding a golden staff.

Before the player could even react, a longsword was already silently placed against his neck.

"What?!" He was terrified and was about to use his life-saving skill when Lin Yu's wrist twitched slightly.

puff!

The sword easily sliced ​​through his shield and throat.

The player's eyes widened, clutching his bleeding neck, his body went limp and he vanished in a flash of white light.

Points +10.

At the same time, Jin Ling transformed into a golden lightning bolt and swooped down, aiming directly at the archer.

The archer reacted extremely quickly, disappearing instantly; he must have used some kind of invisibility skill.

But Jinling's [Divine Eagle Vision] easily saw through his disguise, and its sharp claws, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, precisely seized his skull.

"what!"

The archer screamed in agony as red and white substances splattered out, and his body vanished in a flash of white light.

Points +10.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The remaining two members of Squad 9002 were stunned.

Their team's two strongest members were instantly killed in a single exchange?!

"Who...who exactly are you?!" The warrior player was both shocked and furious, but looking at Lin Yu's terrifyingly calm eyes and the golden eagle in the sky, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Another player was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, commanding the earth elemental golem beside him to stand in front of him.

"The ones who will kill you." Lin Yu's tone remained calm as he raised the Demon-Slaying Sword, its tip pointing at the warrior.

Lightning crackled across the sword.

......
