Chapter 210: Disaster Survival System (39)

Whenever she rested, she would take her Fishing Gear Set and salvage some deep-water seafood.

Or she would put on a wetsuit, go for a swim in the sea, and incidentally pluck up some large, fresh abalone and scallops.

She would stockpile a portion, give some to Fu Zhangzheng, who was in charge of the Cockpit, and cook the rest on the spot for a delicious meal.

When she got tired of seafood, she would take out the grill and roast a few slices of Wolf Meat, rabbit meat, or wild boar meat to change things up.

The lettuce in the Red Clay Planting Area was ripe; washing it clean and wrapping it around roasted pork belly was the perfect pairing.

Otherwise, she would take out a large pork bone to simmer a pot of broth, wash some vegetables, mince some meatballs, add some sea shrimp and shellfish, and roll out some hand-pulled noodles to eat hot pot.

This aroma—not to mention people, even the golden snub-nosed monkey that loved gnawing on fruit was intoxicated by the scent, pestering Xie Yang to eat the hot pot.

Xie Yang didn't dare feed it the spicy red oil hot pot, so she started a small separate stove and simmered a pot of clear broth made from large bones, without adding Salt, and blanched some lettuce and the like to satisfy its cravings.

Other players could also exchange Cruise Ship work points for equivalent vegetables and would fish for some seafood themselves, but they didn't have large pork bones and couldn't simmer broth, so they would bring their own unique supplies to find Xie Yang and trade for a bowl of broth.

It might not be enough for hot pot, but it was just as delicious made into spicy hot pot.

Seeing that everyone liked having hot pot, Xie Yang simply took out more bones and simmered a pot of broth in the public kitchen every ten days, letting the players help themselves.

Therefore, when the long-absent electronic voice suddenly popped up to remind the players that the third season of the disaster was about to end, the Dragon Country players actually complained for once:

"How did this season pass so quickly!"

"Exactly, did it end early because it saw we were living too well?"

Survival Game System: 【...】

Players from other countries: "..."

Are you Dragon Country players all devils?

【Good evening! Natives of Gaia Star!】

【The third season of "Survival Game"—Drought Season has ended. There are currently 2698 survivors on Gaia Star. The specific list of survivors is as follows—】

【All rankings have been updated. The specific rankings are as follows—】

With the end of the third season's disaster, the list of survivors and the player rankings were announced on the Sky Screen one after another, causing a global uproar.

Compared to the first two seasons, the number of players lost this season was not high, but small as it was, every country had some losses, except for Dragon Country.

"How did the Dragon Country players manage it? Three seasons have passed, and not one of the 33 who entered has died!"

"Did the Dragon Country players cheat? How are the top two in all three rankings Dragon Country players?"

"More than just the top two, go look at the Personal Wealth Ranking for this season; the top ten have almost been swept by Dragon Country players!"

"Damn! It's true! Did the Dragon Country players raid a dinosaur nest? Did they get rich?"

The people of Dragon Country didn't know how their country's players managed it either, but as long as all 33 players were alive and not a single unit of the Protective Shield above Dragon Country was missing, they were happy!

"Hey! Never mind how we did it! We did it, that's what matters!"

"Cheating? We don't even know what the hell this Survival Game System is, how could we cheat? If you know how, why don't you teach us."

"Don't care if it's cheating, as long as my son comes back alive!"

"Great, great! My dad is alive! Mom—Mom—come look! Not one of our Dragon Country people is missing! My dad is still alive! Great! Sob..."

"Dad, Dad! My mom is still on the list! She's amazing, right?"

"Husband! Husband, come look! Our son is still alive! Amitabha! The ancestors are watching over us!"

Relatives outside the game saw on the Sky Screen that all 33 Dragon Country players were present, and they were so excited they cried.

And the surviving players in the game had their own joys and sorrows.

This time, seven Dragon Country players made it onto the Personal Wealth Ranking; not only did they trade their surplus vegetables and fruits for a lot of Gold Coins, but because they caught a lot of valuable seafood, some caught rare giant grouper, and some found pearls in the shells and conchs they fished up.

As for the players from other countries, this season they were either fighting the drought or stockpiling large amounts of seawater.

But seawater was the least valuable thing this season, so of course, there was no chance to climb the wealth rankings.

"It's the last season! Damn it, finally made it to the last season!"

When the Survival Game System popped up to announce the end of the third season's disaster, the Dragon Country players spontaneously gathered in the banquet hall, each taking out their favorite food and drinks to celebrate surviving another season.

"Come, come! Let's clink glasses of freshly squeezed juice! Hope we can all successfully survive until this damn game ends!"

"Cheers, cheers! Wish us a happy cooperation this season! Hope the next season goes just as smoothly!"

"Come to think of it, what is the next season's disaster? Why hasn't it been announced yet?"

No sooner had the words fallen than the system's electronic voice rang in the players' ears:

【Congratulations to everyone for withstanding the harsh test of the third season—Drought Season. Each surviving player is hereby rewarded with 1 Player Blind Box Treasure Chest】

【The fourth season—Mutation Season is about to start! The disaster difficulty for this season is Special Grade, with a duration of four months. After four months, this Survival Game will end. Surviving players will receive an Ultimate Treasure Chest and can bring the supplies obtained in the game back to reality! Good luck to everyone!】

"Mutation Season? What is Mutation Season?" Ming Hao asked blankly, "Isn't it a disaster game? Disasters are just those few types, how can they mutate?"

The electronic voice did not ring again.

Instead, a large dark cloud drifted over the sky that had been clear for three whole months, and before long, it began to rain.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the deck and the hull, making a pitter-patter sound.

"It's raining! It's finally raining!"

"Wait! This rain isn't some kind of acid rain, right? We can't just touch it, can we? Will we mutate if we touch it?"

"Ah? No way? Could it be like in the movies, where you turn into a Zombie if you touch the rain? Is that why it's called Mutation Season?"

"Then what should we do?"

"The Seawater Desalination Device is still in the pool and hasn't been brought in yet!"

"Ahhh, my clothes! I'm not used to the dryer, I like hanging clothes on the balcony! It's over! Can my clothes still be saved? I only have two sets to change into, what do I do..."

Everyone crowded in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, wailing as they stared at the sheet of rain.

"Don't panic." Xie Yang walked down holding a Water Quality Detector, "I've tested the rainwater; the water quality is fine."

"Really?"

"It's true." Fu Zhangzheng walked out of the Cockpit, his expression grave, "The problem isn't the rainwater, it's the animals in the sea; they have undergone Mutation!"

"!!!"

At this moment, a mutated whale shark slowly surfaced, its massive body nearly overshadowing the Cruise Ship.

As it sluggishly opened its enormous mouth to feed as it usually did, the seawater began to swirl like a vortex, causing the Cruise Ship to sway violently.

"Holy crap! Whale sharks were already big, but now it's become an absolute behemoth! Does that mean other seafood is also... F-f-f-fuck! Look over there!!!"
