Starting with Crimson

The surrounding rock walls of this giant underground space are covered with a dense network of deep caves.

And in a cave located high up.

Chu Xuan stood quietly at the cave entrance, overlooking the dilapidated city that was asleep.

At this moment, in the cave behind Chu Xuan, dense green grass was slowly spreading and covering Chu Xuan's location.

Chu Xuan remained calm, his eyes showing deep thought.

For example...

How can we bury this city with minimal cost and turn its scorpions into fertilizer...?

Of course, Chu Xuan wasn't planning to finish getting the fertilizer today; he was just observing in advance.

After all, Chu Xuan was also somewhat worried.

The sudden addition of fertilizer to an entire city will allow his oasis ranking to return to second place.

Therefore, unless the Oasis rankings change again, Chu Xuan is not prepared to make any rash moves.

Chu Xuan doesn't want to be second in command right now.

Because Chu Xuan wanted to see...

What is the third reward?

Could it be...?

Or is it round wheat? Or some other product of ancient human races?

That's right, just like Li Qingyu who received Sanchang rice for two days, Chu Xuan also received round wheat for two consecutive days.

It wasn't that Chu Xuan disliked the monotony of wheat.

Chu Xuan simply wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

Suddenly, a series of system notifications rang out, interrupting Chu Xuan's thoughts.

Kill Mode....

Red name marked....

Following the system prompts, Chu Xuan casually opened the virtual map.

Suddenly, a small Saha star appeared in front of Chu Xuan.

Looking at the virtual Saha planet's surface, there are two constantly flashing points of light, one blue and one red.

Chu Xuan's eyes were slightly serious.

The Abyss Civilization....Lilith....

How could they eliminate ten non-native contestants in just three days on such a vast desert planet?!

What does this even mean?!

A strategic weapon capable of monitoring and covering the entire planet?

Impossible, if Chu Xuan remembers correctly.

Mao had a Tsar Bomba-class missile, which was intended for Schov-e-Thompson to bring into the competition, but he never managed to bring it in.

Biological weapons such as viruses can also be ruled out. Saha is a desert planet with too few transmission mediums, making it impossible for the virus to spread so quickly.

But if it's not a strategic weapon, but rather a targeted strike...

This Lilith's strength is somewhat unimaginable.

First, Lilith needs to accurately determine the location of the other civilization's players.

Keep in mind... this is an entire planet; it's like finding a needle in a haystack...

Secondly, this Lilith must also possess the ability to move quickly.

Is it teleportation, or flight...?

Chu Xuan stared at the blood-red light spots before him.

He reached up and adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, squinting slightly.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be flying.

and....

It's incredibly fast!

Given the current level of individual flying vehicles on Earth, not only is the speed difficult to achieve, but the endurance is also hard to match.

I just don't know about Lilith from the Abyss Civilization...

Is it flying by external force or by its own strength?

Regardless, this is an extremely terrifying existence.

If one didn't have absolute confidence, how could they have made such an overbearing move only three days into the competition?

and....

Is it only civilizations in the Abyss that possess this global strike capability?

Chu Xuan's gaze was deep.

If things continue like this, then the difficulty of this competition will have to be increased.

After all, it doesn't matter how high their Oasis ranking is at this point.

They just need to come out and reap the rewards in the last few days of the competition.

That's just how cruel it is...

......................

United Nations conference room.

The atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly heavy.

Although yesterday the representatives of various countries approved the joint establishment plan for the orbital gun proposed by the Chinese representative.

But how much resources, manpower, and technical support should each country contribute?

And after it's completed...

Issues such as command authority and shareholding ratio for the Star Orbiter Cannon are still under dispute...

But what I didn't expect was...

Before they could finish their argument, a new situation arose on the field.

I thought it would be a pleasant surprise if Comrade Xiaofu encountered other civilized contestants.

But today.

Of the forty-nine remaining contestants on Blue Star, two were attacked!

That's right, in just three days, Blue Star went from over a hundred contestants to forty-nine.

Oh no... it's forty-seven now...

Unlike the other contestants who were swallowed by sandstorms and attacked by monsters...

These two were completely killed head-on by the contestants from the Abyss Civilization.

Through the live replay, representatives from various countries could see it clearly.

A slender girl with short white hair and a pair of demonic horns on her head, surrounded by black flames, appeared instantly in front of the Blue Star contestants.

Then....

That contestant got slammed...

There was absolutely no resistance or struggle, and there was no communication whatsoever.

The gap in strength is simply insurmountable.

"This is a provocation against our blue planet!" The Mao representative was getting restless today and stopped drinking and eating barbecue.

After all, this time it's different from Comrade Xiaofu taking the initiative to attack others.

Both of the murdered players were from the European region.

Moreover, judging from the situation, the one who was chased away yesterday and the one named Lilith today are clearly in cahoots.

Because... the art style is basically the same!!

"The threat posed by the Abyss Civilization is significant."

"I propose... that we form a joint fleet ahead of schedule!"

"It just so happens that none of the three of us chose Purple Star for the first batch of exploration spaceships."

"This time, let's all go together."

After speaking, the Mao representative looked at the representatives of the smaller countries present.

"When I say 'everyone,' I mean all of us."

"Countries should contribute technology where appropriate, materials where appropriate, and manpower where appropriate."

"Tell me, what do you guys think?"

The representatives from the smaller countries looked at each other.

The representatives from the United States and China also turned and looked at each other.

I second that.

"I second that." "I second that."...

After a brief vote.

A new round of wrangling erupted in the UN conference room.

It's happening again...

..............

The twice-scorching sun of Saha slowly sank below the horizon.

The vast rice paddies, bathed in the double glow of the setting sun, shimmered with a warm, reddish-gold light.

The central location of the rice paddy.

A huge yellow pineapple stands quietly.

At the top of the yellow pineapple, the leaves are lush and green, spreading out freely.

Hidden in the center of the leaf is a small rooftop.

On the rooftop.

Beach chairs, low tables, parasols, and a dried-up small swimming pool.

Everything is available.

At this moment, Li Qingyu lay on a beach chair, casually swinging his feet, looking relaxed.

The husky was frolicking and spinning around in the dried-up swimming pool.

As for Qiqi, she sat at a small table next to a beach chair, occasionally picking up a straw and taking a sip of the orange soda on the table.

Her cute little face was full of happiness.
