Eight billion people woke up to find themselves floating on an endless ocean. There was no land, no countries, no cities, only countless bare islands and a cold System notification in their minds:
“Welcome to the World of Vast Seas. This is your second home, and it may also be your final resting place.”
Gao Yang stood on his island, watching his equally bewildered neighbors in the distance. Some began to cry, some cursed loudly, and some collapsed to the ground in despair. The System randomly assigned each person a type of summonable soldier. Some drew mermen, some sea eagles, and some sea snakes. As for him, he stared at the crude altar billowing black smoke before him, where a few words appeared:
“Summoned unit: Undead Sailors.”
Undead Sailors. Un-dead Sail-ors.
Gao Yang fell silent. He looked around. At least his neighbors’ units were alive. His were dead.
But he soon discovered something no one else had noticed: his Undead Sailors needed no food or fresh water, never slept or complained, and never grew tired. While everyone else struggled to keep their units fed, his Undead Sailors were chopping wood, mining, and expanding the island around the clock.
And when sea beasts attacked, storms raged, and other players began plundering one another, Gao Yang stood on his island, now taking shape, and gazed at the rows of silent, loyal Undead Sailors behind him. At last, he understood the System’s intention:
Living things need to be fed.
AI text, on an island without trees and fresh water, the protagonist spent a long time looking for dead branches and stones to summon skeleton soldiers, but ended up picking up a lot of skeleton soldiers. It wasn't until Chapter 4 that the system distributed a compressed biscuit and a small bottle of fresh water every day. Is it described at all in the previous section, and it was not clearly stated whether it was only the protagonist or others. If others also had it, then why should they rely on the protagonist? By the time we reach the fourth chapter, more than 10 days have passed. Before the fourth chapter, the protagonist has not had any water.
Emmm, nothing to say
There was no food or fresh water. After 5 days, I thought I had overlooked it, but inexplicably, I couldn't eat or drink anymore.
