Jiang Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and he found that everything around him seemed to have changed.

Gone are the familiar streets and buildings, replaced by a vast ocean.

Jiang Sheng felt panicked and dazed, not knowing where he was.

The waves of the sea glow brightly in the sunlight, as if it were a magnificent and dangerous picture.

Jiang Sheng had a sturdy plank floating beside him, his only support, and the only connection between him and the vast sea.

Jiang Sheng looked around and realized that he was not alone. Others floated on the surface of the sea, some looking panicked, others relatively calm. Their expressions varied, but they all revealed a sense of helplessness and unease.

Jiang Sheng tried to recall what had happened before, and gradually, he remembered everything.

Before he fell unconscious, there was an unprecedented flood in the world, and it was under such circumstances that he was brought here by a great flood.

It's just that

He didn't understand.

Why does it all seem so incongruous.

Although there are still a lot of people around him, everyone seems to have a plank by their side.

After supporting them not to fall into the sea and died.

Just as he was wondering, a voice suddenly sounded in his head.

"Doomsday Sea Survival Begins."

"Please keep the player alive by the planks next to you!"

"To that end, we will provide players with an upgradeable service."

“.”

Listening to the voice in his head, Jiang Sheng's whole person showed an incredible expression.

How so!

It's all incredible!

Just as he was in amazement, he suddenly heard a burst of exclamations in the distance.

Jiang Sheng took a closer look. Shark!

Jiang Sheng was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The Great Flood, Planks, Game Tips, Sharks...... Everything was like a bizarre dream, but so real. He knew he had to calm down and face the challenges ahead.

"What the hell is this? Am I getting caught up in some kind of game? Jiang Sheng was puzzled, but he didn't have time to continue thinking because the sharks on the surface of the sea were already approaching them.

Jiang Sheng desperately climbed onto the wooden board beside him, fortunately, although this wooden board was simple, it was able to support his standing.

He looked around and saw that the other survivors were doing the same, trying to avoid the dangers in the sea.

"Don't panic, everyone! Quickly stand on the plank" Jiang Sheng tried to stabilize everyone's emotions and lead everyone to deal with the situation in front of them.

However, not everyone can remain calm.

Some of the survivors lost control of their fears and even began to scramble for the planks. The situation was chaotic for a while, and everyone was desperately struggling for their own survival.

Looking at such a scene, Jiang Sheng realized that they were facing not only the threat of the ocean, but also the test of human nature.

But the chaos soon ended, and the sharks drifted away from the area with no food to get around.

However, the crisis above the sea is not only a shark?

Hunger, storms, waves, water.

These are all problems that he urgently needs to solve.

But soon, he thought of the game hint that had come to mind before.

Upgrade!

As Jiang Sheng's thought arose, a game interface immediately appeared in his mind.

It clearly marks the direction in which the plank can be upgraded.

At the same time, upgrade the supplies you need.

But

Where do we go to find these supplies?

Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng suddenly saw something floating on the sea.

These are all floating on the surface of the sea after the human world was swept away by the great flood.

In an instant, Jiang Sheng knew what to do.

Only by obtaining these supplies on the surface of the sea can you upgrade the planks so that you can survive the extreme weather in the future!

Without any hesitation, Jiang Sheng jumped directly into the sea.

When Jiang Sheng jumped into the sea, he felt the icy sea water immediately engulf him. He swam desperately, trying to get close to the floating objects.

As he swam, his hand touched a hard object, and with all his might, he dragged it to the surface. It turned out to be a broken wooden box filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items.

Jiang Sheng couldn't wait to open the wooden box, which contained some dry food, a bottle of water, and a rusty knife. It's not a lot, but it's already a luxury for them.

He continued to search the surrounding sea and found more floating debris. Sometimes it's broken boards, sometimes it's some discarded items, and even some discarded fishing nets.

He tried to collect these resources as much as he could, and although he was a little overwhelmed, he knew that only in this way could he survive in this sea.

It seemed that they were aware of Jiang Sheng's movements, and the others also began to learn from Jiang Sheng to obtain the supplies on the sea.

Jiang Sheng, who saw this scene, frowned.

After thinking about it, he quickly picked up a wooden plank as an oar, and rowed the plank towards the distance.

There are so many people here, and supplies are very limited.

There's no need to stay with them and snatch them.

At this time, Jiang Sheng couldn't be sure whether these materials were remnants of the original world or refreshed by the game.

If the setting is the remnants of the original world, it means that the number of materials is limited!

Now that we are in the early stages of the cataclysm, the period of the most supplies is also the most important, so get as much as you can!

Otherwise, these supplies will only become scarcer in the future.

Jiang Sheng strives to find various resources at sea that can help them survive. During his search, he found some floating planks and wreckage.

The planks, while looking somewhat broken, can still be used to build larger shelters. He began to use rope to drag the items back to his plank.

In addition to the planks and wreckage, Jiang Sheng also found some other materials. He found some dry food, not in large quantities, but enough to sustain them for a while.

In addition, he found some clear water, which was a very valuable resource for them. He also found some medical supplies that could help them cope with possible injuries and illnesses.

As time went on, Jiang Sheng collected more and more supplies. In addition to basic survival supplies, he also found some tools and materials. These tools and materials are very important to them because they help them with construction and repair work, making their shelter more solid.

However, Jiang Sheng also encountered some challenges.

Sometimes the waves would sweep him around, making his search difficult.

Sometimes he had to venture down in search of deeper resources, which made him very nervous and worried.

But no matter what difficulties he encountered, Jiang Sheng persevered in his search, because he knew that only in this way could he survive in this sea.

According to the game's setting, to complete the upgrade of the plank, you need more resources in addition to the basic plank.

This may include more wood, metal, or other special materials.

Seeing that his plank could no longer hold anything more, he paddled the plank again towards the place where the crowd had gathered.

After coming here, Jiang Sheng also shouted loudly: "Is there anything that needs to be traded?" I have some food and some water here, which are all important supplies for my future survival! If you need to, you can trade the planks and metal for them! ”

Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, the people around him were stunned.

Why didn't they think of trading with the goods they had?

For a while, everyone began to look at their harvest.

Some people who did not have enough food and water sources shouted at Jiang Sheng as soon as they felt that their stomachs were empty: "I have a plank here!" I need some food! ”

"I have it here! I need some drinking water! ”

“.”

It has to be said that food and water are by far the most scarce and the most important.

After all, these are consumables, and after eating and drinking, you need to get new ones.

Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng shouted directly: "My food and drinking water are also limited, so who of you wants?" ”

"Me!"

"Me!"

"I want it! I can give you some more planks! ”

“.”

Jiang Sheng picked the highest bidder and handed over half of the food and drinking water in his hand to the other party.

At the same time, some metal was obtained from other people's hands.

[If the plank upgrade conditions are met, will the plank upgrade be carried out?] 】

Hearing the voice in his head, Jiang Sheng worked hard to paddle the plank, came to the distance, and only after making sure that others couldn't see it, did he slowly say: "Upgrade!" ”

In an instant, it was accompanied by Jiang Sheng's determination.

What was originally only three square meters of wooden planks was instantly transformed into a small wooden boat.

The area of the ship has also been abruptly upgraded to more than 20 square meters.

Looking at the boat, which was much more spacious than the original, Jiang Sheng's face showed a look of joy.

Jiang Sheng stood on the newly upgraded boat, feeling the surging of the sea water under the hull, and an inexplicable joy welled up in his heart. Not only does this small boat provide more space, but it also means that their ability to move around the sea will be greatly enhanced.

He looked around and saw that the other survivors were also diligently gathering resources, building shelters, or making trades.

This sea is full of hope for survival, but it also hides a myriad of challenges and dangers.

Even if it has been successfully upgraded now, it is still difficult for this small boat to hold on to once it faces strong winds and waves.

Just as he pondered how he could get more resources.

Suddenly, there was something like a map in his mind.

On this map, a variety of material information is marked.

Such a discovery made Jiang Sheng stunned.

How could there be such an extra thing all of a sudden?

Jiang Sheng was surprised, and couldn't help but feel a wave of doubt in his heart. Where did this sudden map come from? Is it the game's premise or something else? He began to think about the possible meaning and usefulness of the map.

Perhaps this map is some kind of bonus, an aid provided by the game system to help the survivors survive better.

If this is the case, then they can more effectively locate and obtain various resources to improve their survivability.

But on the other hand, Jiang Sheng is also worried. The sudden appearance of this map may indicate that there is some unknown force or risk.

He had to be careful not to trust everything on this map so that he wouldn't be in even greater danger.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Sheng decided to try to use this map to get some resources first, but at the same time, he had to be vigilant and ready to deal with possible surprises.

This map can be a double-edged sword that can bring hope, but it can also hide dangers. He must be cautious and protect himself and those around him.

Jiang Sheng decided to try to use the map to guide them to a resource-rich area first.

He carefully studied the markings on the map and identified a spot not too far from their current location, which showed that there should be plenty of food and clean water.

With curiosity and anticipation of the unknown, Jiang Sheng led his small boat and set sail.

They encountered some minor challenges along the way, but thanks to the boat's upgrades and their skills, they managed to overcome them without any problems.

Finally, near the location marked on the map, they found an abandoned island.

The island is teeming with a variety of plants, while the surrounding waters are rich in marine life. Jiang Sheng was secretly happy in his heart, this was exactly the place of abundant resources indicated by the map.

They began to collect all kinds of plants, pick fruits, and catch seafood on the island.

At the same time, they also found some useful tools and supplies on the island, such as fishing nets, fuel and some medical supplies.

After a lot of hard work, their boats were loaded with a variety of resources.

Jiang Sheng was very satisfied, and he realized that this map not only brought them hope, but also a valuable resource.

But at the same time, he is also well aware that this map may be hiding more secrets.

He decided to continue exploring to see if he could find more useful information, as well as possible ways out.

Although this small island is also a very good resource, he does not have the ability to protect this small island alone.

If it is forcibly occupied, it will inevitably face extinction in the future.

Jiang Sheng, who knew his current weight, could only give up here for the time being and continue to drive the boat into the distance.

This journey was not easy, sometimes encountering wind and waves, sometimes encountering unexpected situations at sea, but Jiang Sheng always maintained optimism and firm faith.

After some time sailing, they found a small island that looked more habitable than the previous one. The island has a gentle terrain with dense vegetation, and the surrounding sea is rich in marine resources. The island seems to be an ideal habitat to be able to provide them with safe and abundant living conditions.

Jiang Sheng decided to dock on this island to carry out further exploration and development.

For a whole day, Jiang Sheng saw a lot of supplies on this island, but some of them could not be loaded in his boat.

Fortunately, after his search, he really collected enough upgrade resources.

Moment.

After choosing to upgrade, his small wooden boat was upgraded again.

The boat, which was originally only more than 20 square meters, has now changed to 60 or 70 square meters!

In such a large space, there is even more maneuverability.

What resources are most important at sea today?

Fresh water, food.

But there is one other resource that can be found everywhere on the islands, which is very scarce at sea, and that is soil!

Without thinking too much, Jiang Sheng dug a lot of soil into the boat as soon as possible, and transplanted a lot of vegetation on the boat that could bear fruit.

These are the things he will rely on to survive on the sea in the future.

After this trip, he not only completed another upgrade of the small wooden boat, but also collected enough wood for the next upgrade.

But now the problem is that he doesn't have metal.

The next upgrade may be because the hull is too large, so the amount of metal required for the upgrade is even higher.

He could only sail again.

Follow the direction of the small map in your mind and start looking for metal materials.

Soon.

On a vast sea, Jiang Sheng saw a dilapidated hull.

The ship was unable to sail because of the collision.

You can only float on the surface of the sea and let the waves roll.

Jiang Sheng, who saw this scene, was dazzled.

Isn't this the metal you need most?

Although this ship was not only cast in metal, it was more than enough for him to renovate and upgrade his ship.

After completing the collection of metal on this ship, the system prompt triggers again.

[If the plank upgrade conditions are met, will the plank upgrade be carried out?] 】

Jiang Sheng didn't hesitate and directly chose to upgrade.

In an instant, the boat was upgraded again!

The hull of sixty or seventy square meters has expanded in an instant, although the space brought by this upgrade has not increased much, but his hull has been much harder.

The surface appears to be cast in metal.

And, again, he got a hint from the system.

[The ship level meets the requirements, turn on the ship configuration function, complete the material collection, and upgrade the hull configuration]

Jiang Sheng just glanced at it casually, and he saw what the configuration of the ships was now.

If the previous ships relied on the power of the wind and belonged to sailboats, today's ships have equipped engines and propellers!

Not only that, but it can also be equipped with artillery!

Although looking at the introduction, it is only similar to the backward artillery of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which belongs to the kind where the cannonball will not explode and can only fire heavy objects to hit the opponent.

But it is also very rare for Jiang Sheng today!

Just when Jiang Sheng was overjoyed by this, a systematic prompt sound resounded in the sky.

[The 24-hour novice period is over, and players will feel the real sea!] 】

[The player communication function is on, the player trading function is on, and the player power formation function is on! ] 】

Listening to the series of voices of the system, before Jiang Sheng could think clearly, he saw that there was something more in his mind.

As soon as a thought came to him, something similar to a chat channel appeared in front of him.

Player A: Damn, what the hell is this? I was exercising with my girlfriend yesterday, and I was just about to launch a onslaught on her, so I came here directly? Chen Huan, are you there? Can you see what I'm saying? If you see it, can you come to me, I'm not done yet!

Player B: Mom, what about chat? Not bad!

Player C: Hurry up, hurry! Brothers, there is no drinking water! Die of thirst! My throat is on fire when I eat instant noodles! I haven't drunk water for a day, so I'm in a hurry! If there are those who are willing to sell, I can exchange them with material trade!

Player D: Me too! I want it too! Food and drinking water are all available! Whatever you want!

Look at the messages in the chat channel.

Jiang Sheng was a little surprised.

This feature is very good, very user-friendly, and they don't have to look for a trade partner in this endless sea.

You can directly complete the transaction out of thin air.

Immediately, thinking that he would need a large amount of steel and metal materials to upgrade his ship next time, Jiang Sheng immediately shouted in the chat channel: "Sell food in large quantities!" Drinking water for sale! ”

"Only metal materials can be exchanged! Any metal material will do! ”

While everyone was still worried about food and drinking water, Jiang Sheng's progress seemed to be a little faster.

No way.

He's been to both islands alone.

On the islands, drinking water is the least valuable, almost as much as it gets.

As for the food, in addition to the little things he collected, he also got a lot of fruit, meat, and even rice on the island.

He couldn't eat these things alone.

At the beginning, I also brought it to be able to find someone to trade.

The information posted by Jiang Sheng in the chat channel quickly caught the attention of other players. They expressed interest in trading and began to contact Jiang Sheng. Soon, Jiang Sheng made a deal with some other players, exchanging food and drinking water for a large amount of metal materials.

But these people come in all shapes and sizes.

Some are very realistic, while others want to take advantage of loopholes, saying that metals are special materials and are more precious.

In short, Jiang Sheng directly ignored people like this.

Although the trading function has just been opened, there is no such thing as a price, but what is cherished, what is scarce, and what is a necessity still needs to be figured out.

He could neither eat nor drink the metal materials.

On the contrary, it is their current food and drinking water that are really scarce.

It didn't take long for Jiang Sheng to trade a large number of metal materials according to the amount he expected.

However, these quantities still do not meet the conditions for upgrading.

In desperation, Jiang Sheng could only continue to collect while trading.

No way, the current players estimate that the level of the ship is still very low, and they can't collect things like metal, so the number of saves is very limited.

But in the end, it was through the transaction that Jiang Sheng helped to complete the almost general demand for metal materials.

For a whole day, Jiang Sheng collected the resource points marked on the small map in his mind.

Soon, the number of metal materials required by oneself was almost reached.

But at this time, black clouds on the sea overwhelmed the city, like a huge dark cloud painting enveloping the entire sea area.

The waves rolled, and the white spray shone with an eerie glow in the darkness, as if it was challenging the sky. The wind was fierce and howling, setting off stormy waves on the surface of the sea, and white waves like thousands of horses galloping.

Jiang Sheng's boat looked like a lonely boat in this powerful storm, precarious.

He clung to the rudder of the ship, as if his whole body was about to be blown away by the wind, but he stood there steadfastly, refusing to give up. The storm on the surface of the sea became more and more violent, as if it was about to swallow everything up.

The waves are like mountains, wave after wave, as if they want to swallow Jiang Sheng's boat.

The huge waves rushed towards the bow of the ship, and the spurting water formed a curtain of white water, obscuring the sky and the sun, making it almost impossible to breathe. Jiang Sheng was soaking wet, but he still persevered, trying to control the direction of the boat, looking for hope for survival.

Lightning pierced the sky, and thunder roared, as if the heavens were wrathed.

Jiang Sheng felt the stinging pain of the electric light, but his eyes widened, and he didn't dare to relax his observation of the sea. Every wave crest can be a deadly threat, and every lightning bolt can be a catastrophe. 、

But to his rejoice, the wind and waves come and go quickly, and his ship is a half-metal ship that has undergone three upgrades.

In the end, he resisted the storm.

But at this time, the players in the chat channel are not so lucky.

The channel constantly shows that some players have died in the storm.

This kind of information briefing, which is similar to swiping the screen, also makes Jiang Sheng's heart tighten.

After this period of escalation, he gradually immersed himself in this life like playing a game, and he forgot the horror of this sea.

Now that he saw so many people completely dead in the sea, his heart was also alert.

This time he resisted, and what about the next time?

It's time to upgrade your ship!

And those players who have carried the wind and waves are also complaining.

[Damn! The ships that have just been upgraded, now only planks remain! 】

[My supplies!! It's all gone! My food, my water!! 】

[This hated God, play with people! ] 】

【. 】

Looking at their complaints, Jiang Sheng didn't have the heart to get involved.

There is only a little metal left before his ship is upgraded again.

When your ship is completely upgraded to a steel warship, you may be able to be safer.

Jiang Sheng comforted himself like this, and at the same time embarked on the voyage to find supplies again.

Two hours later.

When he accidentally picked up a car floating on the sea, Jiang Sheng collected it as a metal material, and the upgrade conditions of his boat were officially met.

[If the plank upgrade conditions are met, will the plank upgrade be carried out?] 】

Upgrade!

In an instant, the boat was upgraded again!

The hull of the ship expanded in a circle, and the hard metal surface shone brightly, as if to declare Jiang Sheng's strength. After the upgrade, the vessel configuration function was refreshed again. Jiang Sheng's heart was full of anticipation, and he knew that his voyage would be safer and smoother.

At the same time, after completing this upgrade, Jiang Sheng activated the new function again.

Territory building!

In other words, from this moment on, Jiang Sheng can directly mark the island he encounters as his territory and complete the construction on it!

Such a discovery made Jiang Sheng happy.

I really didn't expect that the system would have such a function.

When he left the island, he was still very heartbroken.

After all, that's one of the few landmasses there's now!
