Welcome to the post-apocalyptic survival game. As you can see, everyone has arrived in a strange place. Survival is your only goal. Do whatever it takes to stay alive. Be sure to remember the following key points:

1. Disasters refresh periodically, and all survivors will receive a notice seven days before the refresh. 2. Don't casually place your safe house. Find a suitable location, as this will significantly increase your chances of survival.3. Danger and opportunity coexist. The wilderness may contain survival resources, but also dangerous mutated creatures. Defeating mutated creatures comes with surprises.4. Search for as many survival resources as possible. This is the key to staying alive.5. Once a safe house is placed, it cannot be moved. You will have the option to place it on or below the ground during its initial placement.6. If you encounter other players, congratulations! Perhaps you can form an alliance, trade, or even plunder their hard-earned resources.7. Concentrate your attention to open the game panel and explore more features. 8. Don't worry about the elderly and children; their deployment time will be much later than yours. Moreover, priority is given to family members during deployment. Enjoy the game!A vast expanse of wilderness.

Su Mo frowned, looking at the survival handbook in his hand.

Tiny black characters danced on the first page. When he turned to the second, they exploded in a blinding flash of light.

When the light faded, the book was gone, replaced by a glowing turtle shell.

"A doomsday survival game?"

Looking at the azure screen in front of him swaying with his gaze, Somo quickly accepted the situation as it moved.

On December 22, 2022, no one expected that the Mayan prophecy, which had been delayed for ten years, would suddenly arrive.

The sun erupted with a flare, an asteroid slammed into Earth. As Soma watched the inferno rain down, she blacked out.

>When I woke up, I was here.

Safe House:

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

1. Choosing to place it on the ground, it can form a 120 square meter wooden house with extremely weak disaster resistance but excellent development potential.

2. Choosing to place it underground can form a 4-meter high, 100 square meter underground pit, with weak disaster resistance and poor development potential.

He picked up the tortoise shell in his hand. As Su carefully examined it, two lines of black lettering appeared.

He glanced at the barren wasteland beside him, and after dismissing the idea of placing it immediately, Su Mo recalled the previous prompt. He concentrated his thoughts and summoned the game panel.

Similar to game features.

The panel has different options.

Chat, trade, manufacture, items...

There is a calendar icon in the upper right corner of the panel.

5 days.

When Su Mo's mind focused on the celestial numbers, a line of prompt appeared.

Distance to next disaster event: 5 daysDisaster event (Newbie Protection): Acid Rain"Five days until the acid rain? Luckily I didn't choose to place my base there first."

Su Mo's face grew a little somber, his eyes turning towards the chat button.

Page changing.

Two brand new buttons appear.

There are separate channels for the world and regions. Let's enter the world channel first.

"I'm not at the shelter, am I? How did I end up in this godforsaken place?"

“A lion is beside me, help! It’s looking at me!”

"The end of mankind has come, haha, everyone is going to die!"

"Do you also only have one safe house you can put things in?"

One after another, conversations scrolled by.

Sumer noticed the small speaker icon next to the speak button.

There is a number 1 following <<< after it.

megaphone: In the early stages of the game, you can only post one message in the world channel per day. Each time you survive a disaster, your daily megaphone count +1. If you want to chat freely, please enter the regional channel. "Restrict player grouping? Or restrict national power?"

Sumo looked away.

Based on the currently known information, it can be concluded that everyone is trapped in the wilderness. The starting point is the same for all players, with a safe house as their initial base.

"A single statement per day, even a state machine wouldn't be able to gather enough people to develop in this environment. Let alone how large this place really is, who could know?"

Sumo left the World Channel.

He checked the local channel again.

It's similar to a QQ chat group, with the "members" section showing 1000.

All the profile pictures in the chat group are real photos, and the nicknames are a combination of name plus height.

"Is this the only kind of terrain there is, a desert? Is there anyone nearby with a water source? I'm dying of thirst."

>

“Don't ever build an underground bunker, for God's sake, it's a death trap. There's no light, no ventilation, and no drainage. If acid rain comes, staying inside is like being in a tomb.”

>

"Don't give up everyone, open the crafting page, mc players rejoice, prioritize placing your safehouse on high ground."

It's unbelievable that there isn't a single water source near anyone deployed globally!

After silently observing for a few minutes and gathering some useful information, Su Mo chose to withdraw.

The first wave of the survival game eliminated the elderly and children, leaving behind mostly young and middle-aged adults. Excluding one or two who had never faced setbacks since childhood, most people reacted immediately and began to save themselves.

>However, there are still some reckless people who, out of curiosity, lowered their safe houses, leading to them being stuck in place now.

Then, Su Mo checked the trading function.

>

The trading platform allows players to trade items.

The trading rules are fair and free, and items can also be specified to be sent to players.

In the trading functionality, an auction function has also been developed.

No agency fees.

"Open the manufacturing page"

Somo looked at another feature.

A whole page.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated! I'm happy to help. ?

Panel: Wood 0/1

Here is the translation of your content: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Wooden crate: 0/4 wood

Charcoal: Wood 0/1, Fire Source
Common Shovel: Wood 0/2, Iron Ingot 0/2

　　....

Dozens of basic supplies, each item and equipment, require different materials to synthesize.

It is clear that gathering and crafting materials are especially important in survival games.

Turning our attention to the last function - items.

As the safe house in his hand was put into his inventory, and then retrieved back into his hand with a thought, Sumo had already grasped the basic functions of the game.

“We need to choose a safe house location quickly.”

Looking up, Su Mo saw the sun directly overhead. His heart skipped a beat as he quickly scanned his surroundings.

On the endless plain, there were half-person-high unknown trees everywhere. There was a little grass on the ground, making it not so desolate.

Within sight, there was no trace of rivers or lakes.

Only one highland can be placed.

Follow the path from your birthplace, stopping occasionally to inspect the contours of the terrain.

Finally, Su Mo chose a small sand dune.

After taking out the safe house turtle shell, options appear again.

Above ground or below ground.

>

The first option is a wooden house on the ground. This option should be a relatively moderate choice, allowing you to safely navigate the initial challenges of a beginner while not worrying too much about future developments.

If it's possible to keep expanding the land next to the safe house, who knows, maybe one day it will even become a whole city.

>

The second choice is underground. Choosing this option comes with natural safety advantages, such as protection from disasters like monster waves or blizzards. Disasters that would be extremely difficult to survive above ground could easily be weathered underground.

But before the first disaster of acid rain arrives, if adequate drainage systems cannot be built underground, it is likely to become a disaster.

This is a simple example of how to use HTML tags. The `

` tag defines a paragraph.

Su Mo thought for a long time.

If the first option's keywords are development potential.

Then, the keyword for the second option is stability and safety.

In most cases, in such an apocalypse, the key is to be fast, every step quick. If you stumble at the beginning, the subsequent disasters won't even have time to unfold.

"Acid rain...high ground...development potential is extremely important..."

"So, I chose…"

Suman shook his head, fiddling with the tortoise shell in his hand, and without hesitation chose the second option.

You have selected to generate an underground shelter, generating terrain now...

The tortoise shell erupted with red light, jumping from his hand and landing on the ground.

As the light intensified, the sand on the dunes gradually melted away, replaced by a dramatic shift in the landscape.

The originally slightly elevated terrain became steep, like a small hill had been puffed up.

As the red light gradually faded, a wooden door embedded in the ground appeared before Somo's eyes.

Congratulations, your underground shelter has been built. The current attributes of the shelter can be viewed on the panel. "Ding! The system detected that the host already owns a complete shelter. Would you like to bind the Apocalypse Survival System?"
