Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

This made Lin Xiao feel that he should take her under his control more and more, as her ability to control fortune was indeed too abnormal.

However, just as Lin Xiao had this thought again, an explosion was heard in the distance.

This made Lin Xiao and Nelly both look up at the location of the explosion.

The two exchanged a glance and decided to head in the direction from which the explosion had occurred.

Lin Xiao held Nelly's wrist and lightly touched the abandoned buildings around them with her footsteps. Her Instant Step skill made their figures flash by like ghosts.

Nelly stumbled a couple of steps as Lin Xiao pulled her along, and couldn't help but shout, "Slow down! I don't have your speed, nor your second-tier strength!"

That's right, to this day, Lin Xiao is still the only Tier 2 player on the world rankings.

Lin Xiao slowed his pace slightly upon hearing Nelly's words.

Soon, they arrived at the site of the explosion.

Lin Xiao pulled Nelly aside and hid nearby to observe.

There appeared to be two groups of survivors facing off over a treasure chest in the middle of the field.

No, rather than two waves, it's more accurate to say that the other wave consisted of only one person.

The man was wearing a blue tracksuit, his palms outstretched, with a dozen water arrows hovering beside him. He was looking at the three survivors on the other side with a disdainful gaze.

One of the survivors was clutching his arm, and appeared to be injured.

"Gentlemen, if there are no problems, I'll accept this treasure chest!"

"I don't want to kill anyone, so leave now and I won't lay a hand on you!" the young man in the blue tracksuit threatened.

"hateful……"

"What should we do, eldest brother? Second brother is already injured, and of the three of us, only second brother has the talent to fight, and he's already reached the first tier!"

The survivor, referred to as "Big Brother," raised his head, glared resentfully at the young man opposite him, and said through gritted teeth, "Let's go, you can have this treasure chest!"

"Very good, a wise man submits to circumstances!" said the young man in the blue tracksuit, and took two steps forward.

The three survivors quickly helped the injured second brother up and left the area.

As expected, the young man did not attack them. He had already arrived at the treasure chest and was preparing to open it.

But Lin Xiao, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly noticed that the shadow under the young man's feet seemed to have moved slightly.

"Who goes there!" The young man also sensed the abnormality and immediately summoned water to surround himself, but another attack was even faster.

Suddenly, a pitch-black hand emerged from the shadow beneath the youth's feet, circled his body a few times, and then grabbed his neck.

"A shadow?" The young man felt a sense of panic.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a woman in a black trench coat slowly emerge from his shadow.

"Who are you?" the young man managed to ask, questioning the woman who had suddenly attacked him.

"Heh, he's just a passerby. You rob them, I rob you, I think it's perfectly normal!"

During their conversation, Lin Xiao also gleaned some information about the two through deconstruction.

"Deconstructing the life of human survivor Zhang Tao, estimated to take 40 years—should we deconstruct him?"

"Deconstructing the human survivor Zhuang Lan is estimated to take 70 years. Should we proceed with the deconstruction?"

Lin Xiao naturally deconstructed it.

From the timeline of the analysis, Lin Xiao discovered that Zhang Tao, that young man, should have an S-level talent.

The woman who emerged from the shadows must have had an SS-level talent.

"A duel between two survivors with rare talents?" Lin Xiao muttered.

He then concealed himself further, preparing to observe the battle between the two survivors.

"Crunch, crunch..."

As Lin Xiao was observing, he suddenly heard a sound beside him.

Looking up, I saw Nelly eating a bag of potato chips she'd gotten from who-knows-where.

Seeing Lin Xiao looking at her, Nelly reached out and handed the potato chips to Lin Xiao: "These are made from a machine I got from opening a treasure chest during my safe period. Apart from causing bloating if you eat too much, they don't have any effect on restoring physical or mental strength."

Lin Xiao opened her mouth as she watched Nelly's actions, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she took the potato chips Nelly offered.

Of course, before eating it, Lin Xiao had already analyzed it and found that it was indeed an ordinary bag of potato chips, and it wasn't poisonous.

"Boom!"

Just as Lin Xiao took the potato chips, the fight had already started.

Zhang Tao escaped Zhuang Lan's shadow attack using some unknown means, but immediately afterward, Zhang Tao's counterattack arrived.

"Haha, die!" Zhang Tao waved his hand, and dozens of water arrows shot towards Zhuang Lan's head.

Zhuang Lan's body moved like a butterfly, dodging the water arrows one after another, and finally leaped up to face Zhang Tao.

The treasure chest was right between the two of them.

"Well, I knew a single Shadow Grip wouldn't kill you outright, so I was prepared!"

"However, you should be careful of your shadow!"

Zhuang Lan watched as Zhang Tao flicked his finger, and a dozen sharp spikes shot out from behind Zhang Tao's shadow, heading straight for him.

Zhang Tao waved his hand backward, and the water flowing around him blocked the thrust of the outstretched Shadow Spike.

Then the streams of water froze into ice, freezing all the stabs.

Then Zhang Tao formed a hand seal, and a huge column of water surrounded him, then shot into the sky and condensed into a 10-meter-long dragon shape.

Under Zhang Tao's control, the water dragon circled twice in the sky before charging towards Zhuang Lan.

Lin Xiao, looking at the water dragon created by Zhang Tao's talent, suddenly had a brilliant idea. He opened his mouth, and slowly uttered two words: "Deconstruction!"

"Tier 1 Water-type attack, Water Dragon, deconstruction complete!"

This was a sudden inspiration he had when he tested his talent by projecting a 300-meter-tall abandoned building.

If even abandoned buildings can be deconstructed, is it possible that physical attacks launched by other survivors can also be deconstructed?

After the experiment, Lin Xiao arrived at a positive answer.

Lin Xiao even spread his hands, feeling that he could project that water dragon-shaped attack, and possibly make it longer and even stronger by injecting mental energy into it.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao then focused on the shadow attack launched by Zhuang Lan.

Sure enough, with the information about the deconstruction talent in his mind, Lin Xiao also deconstructed those attacks, and those attacks could even be used in places without shadows.

Meanwhile, the battle between Zhuang Zhuanglan and Zhang Tao had also reached a fever pitch.
