A Strange Doomsday Survival in a Book World

The young man was still hesitating.

However, a fireball came from a distance, and this time it was merciless, burning his clothes directly.

"Ah!"

He was terrified.

But the fireball went out the next moment.

He then truly realized that the other person was already a superman!

He's just a villainous Superman.

He could only grit his teeth and reach out to pick the fruit.

The moment his hand touched the fruit, he froze completely.

Then he began to be slowly pulled down by the ice.

Or rather, one's entire being merged into the ice.

This is strange; both are solids, yet they flow like liquids.

Similar to the melting of asphalt.

The players in the distance, however, paid no attention to this, treating it as nothing out of the ordinary.

Gao Linzhi naturally knew how these players felt.

They had all survived fierce battles, and they no longer had any sympathy for ordinary people.

You have to understand that they were being hunted down by the company before, and they only survived thanks to a bit of luck and a little talent.

Otherwise, they would have died long ago.

And so, under the players' coercion and enticement, one by one, the survivors came to the lake.

Ordinary people aren't stupid; some would rather die than go.

However, a player immediately used hypnosis, and these ordinary people were powerless to resist.

"Looks like it's useless!" one player said helplessly.

"No, it works. Have you noticed that with each death, the freezing process slows down by one point?"

"Clearly, this bizarre killing also needs to be processed."

"Yes, it's like a python. An ordinary person can't beat a python, but a python that has just eaten a person can kill it easily!"

The players suddenly realized what was going on.

In the end, more than a dozen people died, and they were all swallowed by the ice.

Finally, they found the last person, who was almost completely frozen.

Of course, he still died, killed by the players.

One player couldn't wait and stepped forward, plucking the Ice Snow Sacred Fruit before the others could react.

He was delighted and wanted to eat it immediately.

However, he didn't know that what he had picked was just a fake.

The real Ice Snow Sacred Fruit had already been picked by Gao Linzhi, who had been hiding nearby, and left behind a game item disguised as the Ice Snow Sacred Fruit.

It's actually just a regular food.

But when that player obtained the Ice and Snow Divine Fruit, the other players immediately became furious.

They immediately launched an attack.

This made it difficult for the player to take the medication.

Because this Ice Snow Sacred Fruit needs time to be digested after consumption.

The player had no choice but to give up.

He immediately dodged it.

Then he said to the crowd, "Please don't hit me."

"I'm just trying it out."

"Besides, there must be plenty more; everyone should get a share."

"We are all members of the Longevity Society; we don't fight among ourselves."

However, he forgot that his competitors were his greatest enemies.

"No!"

"Hand over the stuff right now!"

"Wait, there must be others, why do you insist on taking this from me?"

"The next one will definitely be yours."

The player pretended to drop the fruit, saying, "If you try to take it by force, I'd rather destroy it!"

Hearing this, the crowd stopped looting.

And at this time...

Gao Linzhi had already left; he was searching for other survivors.

I wanted to get similar information from those people.

He has discovered that his sensory abilities are severely limited here.

Furthermore, he couldn't fly into the air to scan the surroundings directly, which greatly reduced his search efficiency.

Survivors are hard to find, though.

Gao Linzhi walked for a long time, but then discovered that there was something wrong with the path beneath his feet.

Suddenly, as Gao Linzhi was walking, an inspiration struck him.

That is the icy, snowy land before us, faintly transforming into a book.

This kind of inspiration is truly wonderful.

It was as if it had suddenly appeared in his mind.

He realized that the entire sealed-off ice and snow city was actually a book.

Walking from the front to the back is a leapfrog movement.

This is not a linear world.

It's not just a meter or two; keep walking like this.

Instead, after walking several hundred meters, you will immediately enter the next page.

The current situation will change.

Gao Linzhi seemed to be deep in thought as he took out the Ice and Snow Fruit he had touched.

He then promptly took it.

It's for the Game Character, of course.

One's own body simply enjoys the bonuses in sync.

Suddenly, his physical condition increased by 15 points and his mental condition increased by 10 points.

My physical fitness score is currently close to 2000, and my mental fitness score is close to 1000.

After he ate the ice fruit, the book in his spiritual perception immediately turned many pages.

The whole world changed instantly.

The icy land vanished abruptly, transforming into a blazing furnace.

The temperature suddenly became extremely high, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke and fire.

In many places, it was set on fire directly.

"What happened?"

The survivors, who had just been shivering, were suddenly thrust into the flames. They immediately threw off their blankets, ran out of the burning room, and went to the shade.

"Damn it, it was freezing just a moment ago, and now it's unbearably hot!"

Only then did those people realize that they were actually Fortune the first time.

In the freezing cold, at least there's still moisture, and at least you can keep warm.

Unless you're incredibly lucky, you won't freeze to death.

But cooling down the blazing furnace in front of us is much more difficult.

They need to find water.

Because air conditioning doesn't exist now.

In cold weather, fuel can be used for heating.

Such high temperatures can be deadly.

The ice and snow had completely disappeared sometime during the night.

But finding water is easier said than done.

There was very little water around them, so they couldn't use water to cool down.

Gao Linzhi witnessed an old man run out of a stuffy room, suddenly fall to the ground, and be unable to get up.

He suffered from heatstroke and had lost all hope of getting out.

Gao Linzhi thought about it and realized that he was still quite rational.

They simply lacked the urgent desire to save lives.

However, after thinking about it, he realized that it was actually his fault.

After all, these people could have lived a couple more days before, but now they're about to be roasted to death.

However, he couldn't be bothered to rescue them.

Once the weather changes back, it's none of his business anymore.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the old man returned to a shady spot and regained consciousness.

Gao Linzhi discovered that he still had some humanity left, but not much.

Although he could easily send the other person outside the Ice Wall, he simply didn't want to do it.

Perhaps because we've seen so many ungrateful people, we've developed a habit of "respecting others' fates and giving up the urge to help others."

As long as I don't save them, I'll never encounter an ungrateful wretch.

And if you save someone, there's definitely a chance you'll encounter them again.

The old man, however, was filled with despair; he never expected things to turn out this way.

He still thought that a superhuman would come to his rescue.

The result was simply that he returned to his original state.

Under such intense flames, many survivors quickly succumbed to despair.

If they were in a frozen wasteland, they would still have ways to survive.

But at this point, there's no power. What can we do?

Some people are lucky enough to hide in the swimming pool or underwater in their hotel rooms, trying to cool off with the water.

But soon, the temperature of the pool began to rise, gradually turning into hot water.

These people had no choice but to climb out as quickly as possible.

Some people hid themselves so well that they were almost boiled alive.

Therefore, the cooling effect of water is also limited.

After seeing this, no one else dared to go near the water.

And at this time...

Players who know more appear to be smarter.

They immediately understood.

"I understand, it's related to the Ice and Snow Fruit we just got!"

"But the fruit is still in my hand, I haven't touched it." The player who had just received the fruit took it out of his Game Backpack again.

"Hey, you, take a look at the fruit. Is it really real? I suspect someone ate the real Ice-Snow Fruit!"

Sure enough, when that guy took a closer look at the Ice-Snow Fruit, he found that the fruit had changed.

[Christmas Fruit: a decorative item that can improve the mood of those around you]

"Holy crap!"

"Can game authentication be faked?"

"A skilled replacement has definitely been found!"

It's actually quite normal that they would think of this.

After all, it had always been a land of ice and snow, and suddenly it turned into a blazing furnace.

What could possibly change all of this is their act of harvesting the ice and snow fruit.

Just compare the before and after.

And at this time...

Some survivors also heard these words.

"Oh no, how could this happen?"

"Even if you won't save people, you shouldn't harm them, right?"

"Yes, please, please return the Ice-Snow Fruit! Please!"

Of course, those players wouldn't care about these people's pleas at all.

They were protected by extraordinary energy, so they were completely unaffected for the time being, and could enter and leave this place at any time.

They then continued their search for the next fruit.

Finally, by driving away the survivors, they found a fiery red tree in a deep cellar.

A fiery red fruit hangs on the tree.

Then Gao Linzhi stole it again.

Yes, that's how sleazy he is right now.

He doesn't care what others think.

If you want to Immortality, you can't care about your reputation; if you care about your reputation, you shouldn't want to Immortality.

This is the same as vying for the emperor's throne.

The Eighth Prince once said that he lost his life because of the word "virtuous".

It's just that I'm too concerned about saving face.

There's nothing I can do that requires ruthlessness.

Of course, he had to lose to the shameless and ruthless fourth brother.

If Li Shimin had been soft-hearted, there would have been no Xuanwu Gate.

If Zhao Dayao is soft-hearted, he will be killed once the orphan and widow grow up.

Besides, everyone is born with this, so whoever gets it is considered a virtuous person.

When Gao Linzhi decided to create new aliases for himself, he named them "Gao Youde," "Gao Quande," "Gao Shengde," and so on.

And at this time...

The others immediately realized something was wrong.

In fact, they had been preparing for this move for a long time, but the difference in strength was too great, and they couldn't see Gao Linzhi's actions at all.

"Damn it, someone's hiding and taking advantage of the situation to steal our fruit!"

"Damn it, who's being so perverted?!"

"How shameless!"

"Birth! Birth within a birth!"

The players started swearing.

"They must be among us."

"You can find out how many players came this time by comparing the numbers."

"That's right. Apart from us, everyone who didn't come in is a suspect."

After careful comparison, they naturally identified the suspect.

But at this moment, a very clever person said:

"I know, it must have been the player who died first."

"He faked his death to escape, in order to reduce his own visibility."

And at this time...

Gao Linzhi also chose to eat the Flame Fruit directly.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully using Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.]

[Spirit increases by 15 points, Constitution increases by 10 points.]

This is exactly the opposite of the previous Ice-Snow Fruit.

After he ate the Flame Fruit, the surroundings immediately changed again.

The blazing furnace instantly transformed into a desert, within which lay a circular highway.

He felt this scene was familiar.

Wait a minute, isn't this just like the road trips, extreme cold survival, and extreme heat survival scenarios often seen in survival novels?

He suddenly understood.

This oddity has quickly integrated into the offline world.

It is also seeking human emotional energy.

It's just a little different from incense-burning beliefs.

It aims to subject the survivors to severe trials, extracting their emotions through exploitation and torture, and eliminating any superfluous thoughts.

All that remained was the purest will to survive.

These fruits are formed from the condensation of these pure emotional energies.

This is the difference between this and incense.

The defining characteristic of the Incense Path is its absorption of faith.

Within faith, there will naturally be a large number of strong yet chaotic thoughts and ideas.

After thinking about this, Gao Linzhi shook his head.

This oddity, it seems, adapts to local customs.

And now, a voice indeed appeared in his mind.

"Ding, Path of Survival has appeared."

"You need to find any means of transportation and keep going down this road."

Goodness!

This weird thing started mimicking Game System.

That's truly "forcing someone to do something they're not good enough for".

It's trying to take the path of games, leaving games with no way to succeed.

The players looked at each other in bewilderment.

They never expected that their arrival would cause this strange creature to evolve!

In fact, this kind of imitation is a rather peculiar talent.

The strange creature would even mimic familiar people to lure villagers away from the ancestral hall and their houses.

It's just imitating games now.

Players can tell the difference between the real and fake, since they can find out simply by talking to the Game System.

However, the survivors did not think that way.

"Great! We have Game System now!"

"This is a survival strategy game. I've read a lot of novels, so everyone follow my instructions."

"We can definitely become extraordinary beings too!"

The players looked at the survivors with disdain.

These people were completely fooled.

Of course, no one reminded them.

Just then, as the survivors finished speaking, they suddenly heard the entire area shake.

Then they noticed that the distance between them seemed to have increased.

What's going on?

"What happened now?"

But the players understood immediately.

"I know the entire space is expanding."

"They said before that the radius would increase by one meter for every person who dies, so quite a few people must have died just now."

"So the map radius has increased."

"And so the distance between us began to change."
