Chapter 13, Day 5
Chapter 13, Day 5
However, the carnage on the sea was not over yet.
The shark carcasses rose to the surface one after another like floating bubbles.
The once clear seawater was now thick and dark, and the smell of blood was pungent.
Zhang Xiaolan sat on the raft, her initial shock turning into a complete mental blank.
She was completely numb when she saw a blood-covered figure crawling back onto the raft from the pile of floating corpses like a vengeful ghost.
After boarding the ship, Chen Yang didn't make a single unnecessary movement. He simply collapsed onto the deck like a rag doll, panting heavily.
Chen Yang brought up the system panel.
Player Name: Chen Yang
[Special Reward: Negative Entropy State (Duration: Permanent)]
Strength: 52, Constitution: 212, Reaction: 15, Spirit: 59
Available attribute points: 7
[Equipment: None]
Item: None
Seeing the numbers soaring across the board, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
The gains were quite good; my physical strength more than doubled.
He has quite a few injuries.
Seeing Chen Yang lying there motionless for a long time, Zhang Xiaolan waited anxiously for a while before tentatively moving over.
She gripped the broken stick tightly in her hand and cautiously poked Chen Yang's shoulder: "Hey... are you dead? Are you alright?"
Chen Yang was just about to rest and recover when the wooden stick poked his temple and made it throb wildly.
He opened his eyes, glanced at Zhang Xiaolan, and then closed them again.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart:
This woman seemed quite capable and efficient when we first met, but after getting to know her, I realized she wasn't very bright.
To be honest, he looks a bit silly.
Seeing that Chen Yang was still responding even though he wasn't speaking, Zhang Xiaolan didn't bother him any further.
She sat there, staring at the blood on the ground and the floating shark mountain in the distance, her mind still blank.
Chen Yang, overwhelmed by extreme fatigue and the tingling sensations following his sudden surge in physical strength, fell into a deep sleep.
When Chen Yang opened his eyes again, it was already completely dark.
Before I could even savor the blissful feeling after a deep sleep, that darn system notification popped up right on time.
The previous 12-hour loss had just ended, and a new one started immediately:
[You slept for a day, your body got plenty of rest, temporary constitution -5, duration 12 hours.]
"They really don't intend to let me have an easy time for even a second."
Chen Yang twitched the corner of his mouth.
Just then, a soft snoring sound came from beside me.
Zhang Xiaolan was curled up in a corner of the raft, fast asleep, still clutching the broken wooden stick tightly in her hands.
Chen Yang tried to move his shoulders, producing a series of dense grinding sounds from his bones.
The wounds that had been torn apart by the sharks during the day had now mostly healed, leaving only a thin layer of dark red scabs.
Once your constitution exceeds 200, this self-healing ability is simply abnormal.
Although there is still a slight swelling and pain in the deeper bones, it no longer affects mobility at all.
He slowly sat up, leaned against the side of the boat, and looked up at the moon hanging in the sky.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the gentle lapping of the sea against the raft.
In this dungeon called Flood Apocalypse, we've already experienced rising floodwaters, collapsing buildings, and shark attacks.
I don't know what tomorrow will bring.
Or should we give them a day off, like yesterday?
Chen Yang didn't know, but he wasn't flustered.
With my current physical attributes far exceeding those of a newcomer, I should be able to handle most unexpected situations.
Chen Yang spent a sleepless night sitting on the edge of the raft, waiting until dawn.
But to my surprise, after my physique broke through 200, I felt energetic and not tired at all.
Zhang Xiaolan behind him was fast asleep, drooling as she slept, seemingly lost in a dream.
Chen Yang ignored her and turned his gaze to the sea.
The shark carcasses and bloodstains that littered the ground last night have completely disappeared, leaving the water crystal clear.
And so, Chen Yang spent the whole day looking at the sea.
The sixth day has arrived in the blink of an eye. There's only one day left before the dungeon ends.
He slept for a few hours that night.
[You took a nap, your body got some rest, temporary constitution -2, duration 6 hours.]
"Tsk, you get penalized less if you sleep less, huh?"
Chen Yang made a comment.
At this moment, he noticed that Zhang Xiaolan was huddled in a corner, hugging her knees, her gaze fixed on him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Sensing something amiss, Chen Yang said coldly, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't stare at me like that."
Zhang Xiaolan hesitated and didn't say anything, but a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from her stomach.
Chen Yang instantly realized that the girl wasn't staring at him at all, but rather at the open bag of chocolates and cookies next to him. He shook his head inwardly and pushed the food directly in front of her.
"I don't want to eat these, you eat them."
After saying this, Chen Yang fell silent and turned back to observe the sea.
More than the food, he wanted to know what the disaster was today.
Seeing that Chen Yang had given her the food, Zhang Xiaolan wanted to ask, "You've given it all to me, what are you going to do now?"
But considering Chen Yang's inhuman behavior, perhaps the other party really doesn't need to eat?
She wasn't really sure, but she was extremely hungry.
After confirming with Chen Yang that there would be no cost involved, she picked up the cookie amidst Chen Yang's eye-rolling gaze.
However, as time passed by, minute by minute...
The sea remained calm and peaceful.
It seems like today will just pass by like this again.
But when it got to noon, Chen Yang began to feel that something was wrong.
Because Zhang Xiaolan didn't touch that bag of chocolates in the morning.
"What are you doing? Do you want to take it back?" Zhang Xiaolan stared at Chen Yang as he picked up the chocolate.
The tone conveyed a sense that even if you wanted to take it, there was nothing you could do about it.
"No, look at the state of the chocolate."
As he spoke, Chen Yang handed the chocolate to Zhang Xiaolan.
Zhang Xiaolan had no idea what Chen Yang was up to.
But she still accepted the chocolate.
However, as soon as she took it, she noticed something was wrong.
Upon opening the bag, the chocolate inside had completely melted and dissolved.
"this."
At this moment, Zhang Xiaolan also noticed that the temperature had risen significantly compared to before.
"Be prepared; if the temperature continues to rise, jump into the water."
Chen Yang said something and then went to the side to check the water's condition.
Two hours passed quickly.
As he had predicted, the temperature continued to rise.
Chen Yang was doing well, but Zhang Xiaolan was starting to breathe rapidly, her clothes completely soaked with sweat.
"I suggest you go into the water now, otherwise you'll get dehydrated."
Compared to Zhang Xiaolan, Chen Yang didn't even break a sweat.
Hearing Chen Yang's reminder, Zhang Xiaolan thought for a moment and looked at the last sip of mineral water beside her.
She nodded, grabbed the water bottle, and jumped into the water.
There's only one day left. It would be so frustrating to fail at this point.
