Chapter 232: The Map Appeared

Lin Yifan heard that and his expression hardened, immediately opened the Light Screen and scanned the chat channel's messages.

Sure enough, the chat channel that should have been relatively quiet at this time was now wildly scrolling with dense messages.

Among these messages, some IDs looked familiar; those all belong to the District.

But many IDs were very unfamiliar, and their remarks were full of caution and probing:

【District-Zhao Tie Zhu】:"Is this the District? How can the number of Survivors here be so many? Could it be that this District's natural disaster difficulty is lower?"

【District-Falling Star】:"Our District only has 20,000 people who survived, yet this District has over 50,000 Survivors; that's completely unscientific!"

【District-Mountain Tiger】:"Brothers of the District, glad to merge districts with you, and hope to visit your Shelter; if anyone is willing to receive my visit, please send me your coordinate location."

【District-Priest Investment】:"Hahaha... I also want to visit you, who will send me the location?"

……

Lin Yifan only now noticed that on the back page of the chat channel, a map had appeared.

The map depicted rough geographic information; although hazy, one could roughly discern where one's own District was.

Most importantly, the map also displayed numeric coordinates!

Indeed, numeric coordinates!

Just like a game map, the place where you are will show horizontal and vertical coordinates, and the spot your consciousness marks will also show coordinates.

Lin Yifan's current coordinate position is 【59·09-108.45】.

When he looked northwest along the map, he saw a slightly dim area; according to Lin Yifan's estimate, that should be the forest where he previously went and obtained a Bloodsucking Vine Seedling.

The coordinate marked for that location is 【60.61-109·57】.

Calculating the actual distance between the two coordinates, Lin Yifan was shocked to find that the area shown on the map was indeed about 100,000 square kilometers.

What does 100,000 square kilometers mean?

The entire Zhejiang Province covers 105,600 square kilometers.

In other words, the District they are now in is as large as a Zhejiang Province.

But Zhejiang Province has over 60 million people!

Here there are only just over 60,000 people!

Over 60,000 people spread across 100,000 square kilometers means the distance between each person is extremely far.

Having a map is clearly a good thing!

But at this moment, Lin Yifan was uncertain whether this truly counts as a good thing.

In a place without high-speed rail, without airplanes, not even cars, if there are no Special Items, most people probably couldn't encounter them.

However...

Lin Yifan looked at those unfamiliar IDs constantly asking for coordinate information and felt something was off.

In a place full of danger yet lacking law to maintain order, who would dare openly reveal their location?

Their actions, in every aspect, reveal ill intent.

But if they are also Earth Star people, they couldn't be unaware of everyone's concerns; logically they shouldn't do such a thing.

At least in previous Districts, no one would proactively ask for another's location unless they were close friends or relatives.

But it's unclear whether the Survival Realm is doing this intentionally; after verification, many Survivors in the District found that everyone's relatives were not in this District.

It's as if the Survival Realm deliberately separates all friends and family, making everyone survive on their own.

Moreover, many rules of the Survival Realm tend to incite internal conflict, causing everyone, though lively in the chat channel, to be very cautious when personal safety is involved.

Precisely for this reason, Lin Yifan had no intention to warn everyone, because regardless of how those people asked, no one revealed their coordinate location.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lin Yifan's mind.

Are these people truly from the Earth Star race?

"Princess, may I ask you a question, hoping you will answer truthfully," Lin Yifan looked up at Aieriliya, his expression inquisitive, and asked:

"You non-Initial Domain outsiders, is there any way to seize our Shelter, our Light Screen, or Personal Info?"

Princess Aieriliya immediately shook her head, frowned, and said:

"I haven't heard of such matters before; logically it's unlikely. Each person's Personal Info and Light Screen are confidential, and as long as they themselves are unwilling, no one can seize them."

"Even if they die, unless they themselves consent to transmit their Personal Info to others, these things disappear with the Survivor's death and cannot be seized."

"But..."

Aieriliya slightly furrowed her brows, said uncertainly:

"This cursed place has all kinds of items; even the most outrageous things aren't impossible, so I can't be 100% certain that the Yi people cannot seize your Light Screen."

"However, based on my understanding of the Survival Realm, no matter how outrageous, as long as it has a rational basis for existence, I think it could happen. So if you suspect someone has had their Light Screen seized, perhaps your suspicion is correct."

Lin Yifan naturally understood what Aieriliya said.

Moreover, copies of Survivors have appeared before; even Lin Yifan himself encountered one, a duplicate generated from his shadow.

Therefore, any unusual behavior in this world is not considered bizarre.

At this moment, Aieriliya's pointed ears twitched slightly; she glanced at the gradually thinning light mist outside the window, and her speech suddenly quickened:

"Alright, tell me your thoughts or questions, and ask me when we meet next time!"

"Perhaps because your District has enough people, your District's merging happened earlier than expected!"

"I also must seize this opportunity to hunt some meat and bring it back."

"Aren't you unable to eat meat?" Su Xiao xi, tilting her head, asked curiously.

"I indeed don't eat it, but I can use it to trade for supplies!" Aieriliya shrugged, saying proudly:

"I don't know about other Districts, but the people from our District who came to the Initial Domain to bargain have now all been thrown out by your brother Yifan!"

"This Red Moon Night, except for me, everyone in my District got nothing, so if I bring back enough meat, I will definitely be able to exchange it for a large amount of supplies."

"Such a good opportunity, even if you are willing to miss it, I won't miss it!"

After speaking, he stretched lazily, got up and opened the door to leave directly.

That really didn't even look back!

So decisively that even Lin Yifan didn't have time to react, Ai Rui Li Ya's figure had already vanished without a trace.

Beside them, Su Xiao xi, her face full of shock, said, "Brother Yifan, the Princess's speed is so fast! In the blink of an eye, she already disappeared!"

Lin Yifan came to his senses, yet he did not show any surprise.

He had previously, while hurrying on the road, also witnessed Ai Rui Li Ya's strength with his own eyes.

What made him even more curious was what purpose those people who were scouring the chat channel for others' coordinates actually had?!
