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

"Sigh, I wonder how many survivors will survive after the safe period is over..." Lin Xiao sighed.

There was nothing else to do but hope for the survivors to do, or perhaps hope that someone else in the area chat channel would lend a helping hand.

Lin Xiao glanced again at the still somewhat foggy outside the safe house, stared for a few minutes, and then gradually looked away, focusing her attention on the three items she had just purchased.

Good things should be saved for last; Lin Xiao plans to deconstruct those two tier-three items at the very end.

The first thing to be deconstructed is the skill book clone bomb.

"Deconstruction!"

『Deconstruction Skill Book: Clone Bomb: Estimated time required: 2 hours. Deconstruct?』

"Yes."

Taking this opportunity, Lin Xiao glanced at the situation in the regional chat channel.

Liu Ruyan: "Thank goodness, after working hard for several days, the cabin level has finally reached +8. I estimate that I can upgrade the safe house to the source cabin before tonight."

Liu Ruyan: "Waaaaah, my hands are all blistered from cutting down trees these past few days!"

Cao Shu: "Hey, what a coincidence, my safe house level has been upgraded to a source wood house."

Hoda: "Speaking of which, before upgrading to the Source Cabin, isn't there another branch to the Small Cabin? I think it's upgrading to the Medium Cabin. Has anyone tried it?"

Ge Fan: "I don't know... By the way, the Mist System has already given a notification that upgrading to the Source Wood House will prevent Mist creatures from approaching. Could it be that someone has actually upgraded to other routes?"

Feng Ao: "I...brothers...sorry...I was a bit too harsh and thoughtless with my words earlier. I'm an idiot..."

Kong Wen: "What's wrong with this guy? Wasn't he always talking like an idiot before?"

Feng Ao: "I...I accidentally selected the wrong upgrade path, and chose the middle wooden house instead..."

Liu Ruyan: "..."

Hoda: "..."

Ge Fan: "?"

Yunbang: "?"

Sui Tang: "Not a buddy? How could you get this wrong?"

Shen Zhi: "..."

Feng Ao: "Boss! Big brother! Please help me think of a way, is there any other way?!"

Liu Ruyan: "Could you first tell me what effects the wooden house has?"

Feng Ao: "The medium-sized wooden house had no effect whatsoever; it only increased the size of the small wooden house from 50 square meters to 200 square meters..."

"..."

Hoda: "Brother, we really have no other choice. Why don't you try asking the Fog System if you can revert the safe house's level?"

Feng Ao: "I just tried it, and the Mist System told me it works, but the resources won't be returned after the rollback!"

Hoda: "Sigh, as long as it can be reverted, what more could I ask for!"

The other survivors who had been watching the screen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Feng Ao's reply. They were also afraid that if they accidentally clicked the wrong upgrade button, they wouldn't be able to change it back.

Immediately afterwards, the messages in the regional chat channel returned to normal, and Feng Ao seemed to have suddenly become a different person, no longer talking nonsense in the regional chat channel.

Slowly, two hours passed.

Deconstruction complete

Item Name: Skill Book: Clone Bomb

[Description: Tier 2, consumes 20 points of mental energy, condenses a clone with no offensive capabilities. The clone will self-destruct upon approaching an enemy, or the explosion can be controlled by thought.]

Projection consumes 40 stamina points.

"Projection! Composite!"

1200 points of stamina and mental energy were consumed, and the skill book "Clone Bomb" was also upgraded to +30.

Item Name: Skill Book: Clone Bomb +30 (Self-Destructing Clone)

[Description: Tier 2, consumes 0 points of mental energy, condenses a clone with no offensive capabilities. The clone will self-destruct upon approaching an enemy, or the explosion can be controlled by thought.]

"Huh? Why didn't this synthesis increase the number of clones created?"

If it weren't for the +30 number displayed on the back of the skill book, Lin Xiao would have thought the synthesis had failed.

Lin Xiao looked at the skill book, pondered for a moment, and then clapped his hands: "Could it be... that it increases the power of the clone's explosion?"

Lin Xiao immediately tested this guess. He slapped the skill book onto his body and then created a clone.

This clone looks somewhat illusory, unlike the clones created using the Shadow Mask.

Lin Xiao sensed a terrifying threat emanating from the self-destructing clone.

Under Lin Xiao's command, the self-destructing clone left the safe house and ventured deep into the Misty Forest.

"drink!"

Lin Xiao suddenly roared, and then a loud rumbling sound came from the distant forest. Then, Lin Xiao saw a mushroom cloud rise from the explosion site.

Lin Xiao used his teleportation ability to fly towards the location of the explosion.

Upon arriving there, they discovered that the entire area within a 300-meter radius had been devastated by the explosion and flames.

Strangely, the explosion did not generate a very strong shockwave.

In other words, the damage caused by the explosion of the clone is only within a radius of 300 meters.

but……

Lin Xiao glanced around and found that all the trees within the area centered on the explosion point were destroyed, and the ground seemed to have sunk a bit as if it had been hit by the explosion.

If you look at it from the sky, you'll see that this place looks like it's been gnawed in by something.

"A small nuclear bomb? No... a small nuclear bomb isn't that weak..."

Lin Xiao was quite satisfied with the power of this skill.

However, only one self-destructing clone can be summoned at a time, so Lin Xiao looked at the clone bomb skill while also looking at the Void Shadow Instantaneous skill.

"synthesis!"

Without much thought, Lin Xiao combined the clone bomb and the Shadow Step skill together.

Skill Name: Phantom Burst +30

[Description: Tier 2, consumes 0 points of mental energy, can appear anywhere within a 186m radius of the user. Can fly at a speed equivalent to Instant Step, with a maximum altitude of 6200 meters, moving as if on flat ground. Each step leaves a phantom in place, possessing 62% of the user's attributes and attracting nearby enemies to attack it. The phantom lasts for 62 seconds. Each phantom has the ability to self-destruct, with an explosion radius of 300 meters. Phantoms can automatically explode when near enemies, or the explosion can be controlled by thought. When multiple phantoms are clustered together, the explosion radius will be larger.]

"Every phantom can explode now? Let's try it out!"

Lin Xiao took a step and instantly appeared 186 meters away.

Then, 248 phantoms appeared on the spot.

Lin Xiao is currently 5000 meters away from the safe house!
