Protagonist:

Shen Yao

By the time everyone on Feng Shan had left, it was already the evening of the twenty-ninth.

With one day left to clear the Instance, they could also leave here and return to the Infinite World.

However, the last day was often when disasters were at their worst; previously, one could say human calamities outweighed natural disasters, but right now, there were no human calamities—only natural disasters remained.

The phones still had no signal, but their two satellite phones received warnings of an incoming rainstorm.

"Rainstorm?"

The rain before their eyes was already heavy, and on top of that, an even greater rainstorm was coming; Shen Yao had to consider whether a rare tsunami might occur here.

"It's possible. Although Linqing City counts as an inland city, it borders the Qing River and lies on the edge of an earthquake zone; once tremors occur, a tsunami will break out."

These past few days, besides trying every means to earn extra points, Xu Ningchen had also studied the situation of the entire Linqing City and the surrounding terrain.

More than ten years ago, Linqing City had experienced an earthquake of moderate size; though the tremors were not obvious, they had also cracked open a gap in the dam upstream of the Qing River.

Later, the Officials constantly repaired and reinforced it, and coupled with over ten years of peace and quiet, the people of Linqing gradually forgot this history.

Right now, Linqing City had been raining heavily for nearly a month; according to the types of natural disasters that might occur within the Instance, an earthquake was likely to arrive on schedule.

Indeed, Xu Ningchen's words were like a prophecy; that very night, Shen Yao lay in the cabin sleeping drowsily when she felt a shaking of earth and mountains beneath her.

The calm water surface seemed to be forcibly stirred, and the boat swayed left and right, making it difficult to maintain balance.

Xu Ningchen used the engine to try to steer the boat away from the Linqing City area as much as possible.

They could not leave the range designated by the Instance, but they could move around at the edge of the Instance.

The place where the boat had originally docked was near the edge, so sailing the boat there now did not take much time.

Throughout the entire Linqing City area, apart from ordinary people who had been forced or voluntarily stayed for various reasons, there were also Taskers like Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen.

However, Linqing City was large; although the number of Taskers seemed large, once scattered, it was still difficult to encounter them. Moreover, these past few days, many had returned early to the Infinite World due to various accidents and mission failures. Now, the greatest threat to Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen was not these companions, but the natural disaster that might intensify at any time.

After the boat was docked again, since they could not temporarily fix it on the water surface, the two of them could only sit in the cabin and let the boat be pushed by the water to drift everywhere.

Shen Yao propped her chin, appearing calm on the surface, but in her heart she was interrogating the System: "Where is the epicenter? Will there be aftershocks?"

The System did not answer immediately, but on the surface it still gently reminded her that this earthquake had not completely passed.

Hiss

"Want to stage a grand finale at the end?" To create as much difficulty as possible for the Taskers? After all, ordinary people had already left Linqing by boat.

"This is urging you to improve," the System's excuse made Shen Yao suspect it had already established a connection with the System of the Infinite World.

"The essence of the Instance is to exercise your capabilities," those with a mindset of eating and waiting for death would sooner or later be eliminated by the cruelty of the Infinite World.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, indicating that humans were creatures with base natures; who liked to suffer bitterness all day? Moreover, actions in the Instance were full of crises, and a single misstep could cost one's life; not many could figure it out quickly.

Because they were woken by the earthquake, and continuous aftershocks kept coming, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen no longer slept, but lay with their eyes open until dawn.

Amazingly, when the sky began to brighten that day, the rain that had lasted for a month stopped.

As if a pause button had been pressed, suddenly the clouds dispersed and the rain cleared, and the sun came out.

Shen Yao thus saw the surrounding scenery clearly; under a misty watery light, there were several mountain ranges that only exposed a bit of land.

Even not far from them, several boats of various sizes were floating.

Without thinking, one knew there were people on the boats, and those who had such abilities at this time were basically in a similar situation to them.

They were all in a state of not disturbing each other; whether they could clear the Instance depended on their own abilities.

When the light outside became bright, Xu Ningchen signaled Shen Yao to take out the items from the Space Backpack, especially those materials hoarded earlier.

Huh?

"Cover the entire boat; remember to put on diving suits first," including oxygen bottles, life jackets, life rings, and other items must not be left behind.

Shen Yao blinked her beautiful eyes, understanding Xu Ningchen's implied meaning; he was worried a tsunami would occur, and at that time the boat might capsize and they would be trapped. They absolutely could not fail at the last moment before clearing the Instance.

After taking out everything Xu Ningchen wanted, this person still did not forget to sail the boat farther away until no other creatures could be seen around; only then did Xu Ningchen take out tools to modify the entire boat.

While he was modifying it, Shen Yao had already put on the diving suit and other items on her own body.

At the same time, she discussed with Xu Ningchen that once a tsunami really came, the moment she fell into the water, she would put the boat away.

They could not drift on the water forever; the final landing point was still the boat.

Xu Ningchen worked very fast; almost without effort, the entire boat changed its appearance.

Shen Yao raised her hand, touching here and there, and was also very curious about this.

Xu Ningchen smiled and signaled Shen Yao to find a place to rest, while he put on the remaining set of diving suits on his body.

The two sat facing each other, staring without blinking at the lake surface.

The System was not idle at this time either; after all, there were other people in the Instance, and its desire to listen to gossip was inexhaustible.

"The water level rose."

The System reminded the Host to be more careful; this was a matter of life and death.

"Rest assured, the preparations that should be made have been made," next it all depended on the will of heaven.

However, their preparations this time were more sufficient than last time; they probably wouldn't choke on water, right?

Recalling the last Novice mission, Shen Yao still had much to say; indeed, for this kind of infinite survival flow, wanting things to go well required paying a huge price.

The time came to nine o'clock in the morning.

The sun in the sky scorched the entire water surface, and the surrounding temperature rose.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen were wearing diving suits, and a layer of waterproof cloth was spread around the boat, causing the temperature around them to be higher than outside.

Shen Yao wiped the sweat beads that had broken out, raised her hand to take up Wang Yuan, and looked toward the Distant with a worried expression, not complaining at all.

Xu Ningchen persuaded Shen Yao to relax; everything they could prepare had been prepared, and whether or not a Tsunami struck in a while, they would surely succeed in Clearance.

"It can't be said like that; there are others around," inevitably someone would harbor ill intentions, so they two must be Cautious, Guard Against, and Caution No Big Mistake.

"Not Afraid; if they want to make a move, they first need to find a suitable Opportunity."

There was no one around them here; when the Tsunami struck, everyone would be too busy saving themselves.

Xu Ningchen soothed Shen Yao with his words while also pondering in his heart how to make things more Wen Ding.

But this kind of thing could only be met as it came—each block to its own block.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

A sudden Roar appeared abruptly, making Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen realize that the Tsunami had arrived.

At the edge of the sky, a white fine line was constantly stretched out, and came rushing at a particularly swift speed.

Shen Yao's expression was grim; the system in her mind had already warned that this Tsunami was more Long Liang and fierce than imagined, and the small ship beneath them absolutely could not withstand such Windstorm and Rainstorm.

One second before the Tsunami arrived, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen abruptly fell into the water.

The ships originally swept up and swallowed disappeared into the churning wind and waves, while Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen were tossed about by the endlessly impacting currents; fortunately, the tools on them proved useful, and when Shen Yao surfaced, the water had already returned to Calm.

Xu Ningchen was at a position Not Far from her; Shen Yao released the ship from the Space Backpack and slowly climbed aboard.

The two appeared safely inside the Cabin wrapped in Waterproof Cloth; by then the time had reached one o'clock in the Afternoon.

Without realizing it, they had drifted in the water for several hours; fortunately, their earlier preparations were plentiful, otherwise Shen Yao would have choked on the water again.

Xu Ningchen pressed the activator, making the ship beneath them speed along.

The water surface after the Tsunami was not Calm; among it were many broken bones and severed limbs, including those of humans, Animals, and Plants.

The ship swiftly bypassed these obstacles and finally stopped at a stretch of water they could not pass.

This was the Edge of the range set by the Instance; they were Bei Qi trapped inside.
