Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

"Help, help... I'm afraid of heights, and I'm lying face down on the ground, too scared to open my eyes. I feel like I'm suffocating, someone please help me!"

"Mommy, Mommy, waaaaaah... I want my mommy!"

"Hahahaha, I actually survived?! Thank goodness I survived this calamity, good fortune is sure to follow!!"

"Is there any water? I'm so thirsty... I'm on top of a sand dune in the desert, and the sun is melting me!"

"I've played 32 different survival games, and I'm the chosen one in this game! If you want to join me, sign up now, or you'll miss out!"

"Stop being a chuunibyou! Explain the situation! What are we supposed to do now?"

"Sister, sister, are you there? It's Yangyang! Sister, please reply to me if you see this."

"Husband, husband, are you still alive?"

"I am Zhou Zeyang. Zhu Ting, Chen Chen, Liang Jingying, Zhao Lei, Xu Tiantian, Guo Yu, and Yang Fan, please contact me if you see this message."

Ten thousand people were talking at once, creating a chaotic scene on the screen. Everyone seemed eager to vent their emotions, but Lin Yue's gaze was fixed on the numbers at the top of the screen.

9991/10000

9990/10000

9986/10000

9963/10000

……

In just a few short minutes, the number of people on that screen, which was originally 10000/10000, has changed silently.

Lin Yue silently calculated in her mind that about 37 lives had been lost silently in the past three minutes, and this was still during the newbie protection period! This game was far more cruel and difficult than she had imagined.

"Stop yelling nonsense, everyone! Look at the number of people!"

Clearly, some people in the chat area also noticed this, and after a moment of silence, the chat on the screen erupted again.

"How could so many people have died?"

"Was it suicide? Shouldn't most falls from heights be suicides? Why am I, someone who was walking down the street and was crushed to death by someone jumping off a building, considered to have died from a fall from height?"

"Holy crap? Dude, what kind of luck do you have? This is too much of a coincidence!"

"Brother, don't laugh at me. Among all of you here, apart from those who don't want to live, is there anyone who's just lucky?"

"That's right!"

"Even if someone chose to jump off a building, they've already died once. They don't need to die again, do they?"

"That's right, the world has changed, what can't we get through? Better to live a miserable life than to die!"

"Maybe the place it landed in was too bad, and it couldn't stay still when it fell!"

"..."

The disappearance of their kind brought considerable fear to everyone, and the text on the screen refreshed rapidly, scrolling upwards continuously.

Lin Yue didn't have anyone she was looking for, so she wasn't in a hurry to send a message in the chat window. She pursed her lips and looked at the chat for a while, but seeing that there was no valuable information, she closed the chat screen and checked her personal panel instead.

The information on the personal panel is concise and clear, somewhat similar to the profiles in most games.

Name: Lin Yue

Age: 26 years old

Rating: 0

Health: 60/60

Mental Power: 90/90

Stamina: 67/100

Experience value: 0/10

Power: 3

Defense: 3

Speed: 4

Intelligence: 9

Equipment: none

Skills: None

Based on her years of experience playing mobile games, her health points seem to be the sum of her strength and defense multiplied by 10, which is commonly referred to as the health bar. Her mental strength, on the other hand, is her intelligence multiplied by 10, commonly known as the blue bar.

Based on the initial data, her strength, defense, and speed seem average, her intelligence is slightly higher, and her stamina consumption is also quite high.

Thinking about it carefully, this makes sense. Those series of movements had not only exhausted her mental energy but also drained her physical strength. Unfortunately, she didn't know the data for others, so she couldn't make a comparison or determine her own skill level.

Just as Lin Yue was carefully examining the bracelet, a system notification sounded: [Friendly reminder: The first wave of airdrop supplies will arrive in ten minutes. Please be prepared.]

Lin Yue snapped out of her daze, turned off the bracelet screen, and reached for the net next to her.

The net looked like an ordinary bamboo pole with a net about the size of a basketball hoop tied to the end. Lin Yue held it in her hand and found it was lighter than she had expected. She couldn't help but wonder, could such a simple thing really catch an airdrop?

Lin Yue tried swinging the net a few times, and after several different poses, she finally found the one that felt most comfortable in her hand. Then she looked around, chose to stand in the very center of the platform, raised her head, stared intently at the sky, and stood ready.

A few minutes later, subtle changes began to appear above. Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, Lin Yue saw faint rays of light gradually converge into points, rushing towards the direction of the tree like shooting stars, rapidly magnifying in Lin Yue's retina.

near,

Closer,

Those are a bunch of boxes!

A group of boxes that are all the same size and similar in shape.

They streaked across the sky at astonishing speed, hurtling towards the platform.

Something was being thrown from a high-rise building! Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively took a small step back, but quickly steeled herself and stood still. Since it was a system airdrop, it couldn't possibly kill her.

Lin Yue narrowed her eyes and stared intently at the group of boxes.

As the boxes drew closer, the branches above the trees seemed to sway and dance in the wind.

Then Lin Yue saw that several branches as thick as an arm had been knocked down by the impact of the box.

This is terrible!

Lin Yue gasped, dodging a few times in the limited space. When the boxes were still more than a meter away from her, she closed her eyes, swung the net forcefully, and swept it towards the bottommost box.

Lin Yue used all her strength in this movement, but she didn't expect that the impact of the box would suddenly disappear the moment it touched the net.

Caught off guard, Lin Yue stumbled forward, lost her balance, and fell face-first to her knees on the platform.

Fortunately, the fall wasn't in vain; she successfully netted the box!

Lin Yue grabbed the net, shook out the box, and tried to retrieve the next one. However, the boxes were too fast; in the short time she wasted, they had already swept past the platform and disappeared below.

She felt a little regretful. She looked up at the sky, which had returned to calm, and confirmed that this round of airdrops was completely over. Only then did she put down the net in her hand and sit down next to the wooden crate.

The wooden box looks quite old; the wood grain is no longer clear, and there is wear and tear on many parts of the surface, giving it a light yellowish-brown color. There is a simple buckle at the front that secures the opening of the box.

Lin Yue rubbed her hands together, muttering prayers, "May all the gods bless me to open this box and get good stuff," before carefully pushing open the latches on the wooden box.
