That night, countless Blue Star Humans who had just arrived at the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield suffered from insomnia. Some genuinely couldn't sleep, their hearts burdened with too many things, their minds filled with terrifying thoughts constantly surfacing.
While another portion of people couldn't sleep even if they wanted to;
Either they were unlucky enough to be dropped into environments of ice and snow.
Or they were in hot desert regions.
In short, these natural environments made it impossible for them to fall asleep.
The next day;
Early in the morning, just as the sun rose from the eastern horizon, Gu Shao Shang woke up.
Opening his eyes, what greeted him was a face without makeup yet still delicate and lovely, with fair skin that seemed like it could break at a touch, tightly closed eyes, and long eyelashes trembling slightly in the air.
Before falling asleep last night, the two of them were clearly sleeping back to back.
But he didn't know what happened.
Waking up, their positions had changed to facing each other.
Gu Shao Shang could already tell that Lin Youyu was actually awake. He could tell from her slightly trembling eyelashes, and the little girl's breathing was also getting heavier.
Unless Gu Shao Shang was blind and deaf, there was no way he wouldn't notice.
A rustling sound was heard.
As a corner of the sleeping bag was opened, Gu Shao Shang got out of the sleeping bag first.
He got up and stretched.
The sleeping bag was warm to sleep in, but the space was too cramped.
With two people sleeping, they couldn't move their limbs at all, and after waking up, they felt their bodies had become quite stiff.
After stretching his muscles and bones, Gu Shao Shang also turned and walked to the bonfire to sit down.
He picked up some dry firewood nearby and added it to the bonfire, making the bonfire that had gone out in the middle of the night burn again.
Afterwards;
Gu Shao Shang got up, picked up a bottle of mineral water from the side, and took a few small sips.
At this time, Lin Youyu, who was still lying in the sleeping bag, also pretended to have just woken up, stretching and crawling out of the sleeping bag.
"Morning, Gu Dage!"
Lin Youyu greeted Gu Shao Shang with a giggle.
"Morning!"
Gu Shao Shang nodded and asked, "Do you want to eat grilled meat in the morning? Or just have some bread?"
"Bread, I don't really want to eat grilled meat in the morning."
Lin Youyu took out two pieces of bread from her backpack and handed one to Gu Shao Shang.
"Gu Dage, here."
Gu Shao Shang reached out and took it. The two of them sat by the bonfire, using the heat from the burning fire to dispel the morning chill, while eating bread and drinking mineral water.
While eating breakfast, Lin Youyu also opened the area chat channel.
To see if everyone was up yet?
--
【Ten Thousand Races Battlefield -- Universe Zone 908874 -- Galaxy Zone 776 -- Blue Star Area 621 Channel】
【Number of Survivors: 9,995,924 / 10,000,000】
Opening the area channel;
The first thing Lin Youyu saw was the number of survivors in the area.
"How did so many people disappear all of a sudden?!"
She looked in surprise at the number of survivors, which was nearly four thousand less than before she went to bed last night, and immediately exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Shao Shang turned his head and asked her.
"Gu Dage, so many people died in our area last night!" Lin Youyu quickly told Gu Shao Shang about the situation, "When I checked before sleeping last night, less than two hundred people had died."
"But now the number of deaths is almost 4100!"
"Gu Dage, what do you think happened? Weren't everyone supposed to be in the Safe Zone at night?"
If so many people had died during the day, then Lin Youyu would at most think that those people had encountered some terrifying monster attack.
After all, with a base of ten million people, it wasn't impossible for a few hundredths of a percent of unlucky people to encounter such a situation.
But shouldn't everyone have been resting in the Safe Zone last night?
How could so many people still die?
Could it be that the Safe Zone wasn't as safe as they said?
Was it still possible to encounter danger inside it?
This made Lin Youyu very worried.
"Gu Dage, do you think the Safe Zone isn't as safe as we imagined?"
Lin Youyu said worriedly.
Hearing this, Gu Shao Shang frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then said, "The Safe Zone should be absolutely safe. The Ten Thousand Races Battlefield has no need to lie about this."
"But what about the people who died?"
Lin Youyu asked.
"They must have left the Safe Zone themselves," Gu Shao Shang speculated, "Didn't you say yesterday that some people's Safe Zone environments were very bad? Those who were dropped into places like snowy mountains, if they didn't have enough warmth measures, they could be frozen to death."
"So these people might have risked finding other places to spend the night."
"Isn't that very dangerous?"
Lin Youyu said.
"It is very dangerous, but they didn't have a choice," Gu Shao Shang said, "As for the other portion of people... this world will never lack some arrogant fools."
"You mean... they ran out to kill monsters at night?"
Lin Youyu had a surprised expression.
She clearly couldn't understand the actions of these people.
Wasn't this just purely seeking death?
Even she, a chosen one with an SSR talent, would rather waste the day's 100 resurrection chances last night than run out to seek death.
Knowing it was certain death, she wasn't a masochist. Even if she could resurrect after dying, the pain of that moment wouldn't be erased.
As for these people;
Without a heaven-defying talent like Lin Youyu's, and with only one life, they still insisted on going out to court death.
What in the world were they thinking?
Couldn't figure it out! Couldn't guess!
Lin Youyu looked at the area channel.
As expected!
Many people were already discussing the several thousand people who died last night.
Some also guessed how those people died.
Some even spoke from personal experience.
【I'm one of those unlucky guys who was dropped into a snowy mountain environment. But luckily, when the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield opened, I was vacationing in the 'Polar Bear' country, so I was dressed quite warmly. Otherwise, with that temperature last night, I might have also chosen to risk going out like those people.】
【Didn't you have the initial bonfire? Didn't you use it?】
【We used it, but in the snowy mountains, the temperature at night is at least around minus twenty degrees Celsius. Do you think one bonfire is omnipotent?】
【You can build an igloo!】
【The person upstairs says it easily. Building an igloo with bare hands, and you have to finish it within a few hours. Otherwise, why don't you try it yourself?】
【Being unlucky is one thing, that's a matter of luck. But are there really brain-dead people who ran out to fight monsters in the middle of the night?】
【Yesterday during the day, I went out and met a foreigner who was dropped near me. That foreigner drew a B Grade Hero at the start, and he said his talent was also B Grade. He was so arrogant! Guess what happened? He died last night!】
【Holy crap~! B Grade Hero and B Grade talent? Isn't it a waste to give this to such an idiot? Why am I so smart but only have a trash E Grade Hero? Even my talent is only D Grade.】
【Be content, you! My talent and initial hero are both E Grade, and I haven't said anything yet!】
【F Grade Hero passing by, feeling like I'm going to be done for after the novice protection period.】
【Hurry up and level up during the novice protection period! It's best to find a hidden cave or something similar to serve as your shelter after the novice period.】
【Although my initial hero is only D Grade, it's very good at climbing trees. I already found a very high tree hollow yesterday to use as a shelter after the novice protection period ends.】
【Sigh~! I feel like a lot of people will definitely die after the novice protection period is over. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be one of them.】
【Bro, don't say discouraging things! People like us with low-grade heroes and low-grade talents must work even harder to survive!】
【If you want to work hard, you work hard. I'm just going to lie flat anyway. While the Safe Zone is still here, I plan to interact more with my initial hero.】
【Interact? You'd better be interacting properly!】
【Ah, no! Is this right?】
【I don't know what your initial heroes look like, but my initial hero is a pretty girl, it's just that her skin is green.】
【Green? A goblin, bro?!】
【Holy crap~! You guys are really horny!!】
