Chapter 772 - 508 Big Problem

Big problem?

Lin Yue perked up.

He turned on the light in the sleeping pod, sat up, and looked at the system tablet.

The "big problem" Fei Yue mentioned...

He glanced at the system announcement again.

Soon, he found the issue.

"Are you saying that the system hasn’t given a time for the next disaster warning?"

He promptly replied and invited Fei Yue for a voice chat. There was nothing sensitive to avoid, no need to discuss their Extraordinary Power or worry about being overheard.

Compared to text, voice was clearly more convenient.

"Hold on." Fei Yue didn’t answer immediately but responded for Lin Yue to wait a bit.

Lin Yue could certainly wait, but he also suspected what Fei Yue was about to say shouldn’t be heard by others.

Besides the self-healing power of the Extraordinary Power, is there something else?

Lin Yue was puzzled, but since Fei Yue acted this way, there must be a reason.

After waiting for a while, Lin Yue received a reply from the other side.

"Hey Lin Yue, should we have different nicknames? Calling by full names seems a bit distant, right? How about I call you Little Lin, and you call me Old Fei?"

Fei Yue laughed loudly on the other end, making Lin Yue wonder if this guy was out of his mind.

"Stop messing around, let’s get to the point, Fei Yue." Lin Yue took a deep breath, "Are you referring to this matter?"

Fei Yue stopped laughing: "That’s right, Lin Yue, many people have noticed. The disaster outside keeps everyone from sleeping, but some noticed the system didn’t say this time, unlike every previous time."

"Yeah, it didn’t say; normally, it would announce seventy-two hours later, but this time there’s no hint at all, it feels off." Lin Yue checked the disaster announcement again.

This disaster announcement wasn’t much different from previous ones, mainly notifying the disaster’s start and its dangers.

But unlike previous templates, it didn’t mention the next disaster warning.

No more disasters?

That’s absolutely impossible.

Since it’s called a survival game, it’s not a joke.

This world is extremely harsh, and the greatest threat to humans are the various disasters.

Although around two billion people have survived several rounds of disasters so far, there shouldn’t be a halt in disasters.

After all, single disasters are manageable, but multiple disasters have a greater-than-sum effect.

Not to mention the extreme intensity of triple or quadruple disasters.

"I have a thought on this," Fei Yue suddenly said.

"Let’s hear it?" Lin Yue pondered for a while, still not understanding the system’s operation.

"Simply put... it’s to make us guess the disaster, adding a layer of disaster power. Am I right?" Fei Yue presented his answer.

Lin Yue suddenly realized.

He had been overthinking it.

Or rather, he was being too extreme.

Fei Yue’s idea seemed simple, but if thought deeply, it had some possibility.

Every previous disaster had the system’s third-day announcement.

This announcement also disclosed the disaster name on the seventh day and the fifteenth day of the previous disaster, giving survivors ample preparation time, rather than grasping blindly.

But this time, if it’s as Fei Yue suggested, things would indeed become more difficult.

It’s important to note that the current disaster isn’t single but has directly entered a fourfold disaster. Guessing what it entails is extremely challenging.

Like this round’s fourfold disaster, Lin Yue guessed oxygen-richness and drought.

But he never thought of a locust swarm or a sandstorm.

If next time there’s an earthquake, or a snowstorm?

These things are fundamentally unpredictable.

"Indeed. If we blindly grasp, any prior preparations would be futile. Without definite information, we’d be more passive..." Lin Yue understood the gravity of the situation.

He knew Fei Yue was likely correct.

Without broadcasting the disaster’s specific name, they could only move step by step, possibly only knowing the disaster’s name right until it hit.

This is detrimental to all humanity, to all survivors.

Perhaps, the next disaster might eliminate half the people.

That is, if they don’t accurately guess the next disaster’s specific name...

"Right, so we should do more, observe more, think more, or we’ll struggle to even guess the disaster’s name, otherwise, even people like us will suffer," Fei Yue shook his head.

"Yeah, that’s it." Lin Yue considered various strategies, but it seemed currently tough to handle.

"We’ll just have to take it one step at a time, Lin Yue. Let’s hope for the best when the disaster passes tomorrow," Fei Yue concluded, "Maybe the system just forgot, hahaha."
