The Third Game：Yun Hai City 4

Yunhai City, Day 5

The relentless rain continued to batter Yunhai City.

Wen Nannan, anticipating further challenges, stocked up on additional food supplies and even purchased two swimming rings as a precautionary measure.

Yunhai City, Day 6

The downpour persisted, overwhelming the city's drainage system.

Underground areas like shopping malls, parking lots, and subway stations were submerged, forcing people to rely on surface transportation.

Taxis and buses became scarce, and the treacherous conditions led to an increase in accidents.

On her way to work, Wen Nannan witnessed a car collide with a bus, leaving several injured and causing distress among the remaining passengers.

Yunhai City, Day 7

The water level rose to ankle height as the rain showed no signs of stopping.

To worsen the situation, a typhoon warning was issued, adding to the already dire weather conditions.

Panic ensued as residents rushed to stores to stock up on essentials, leading to overcrowding and shortages.

Wen Nannan observed firsthand the dramatic price hikes, with instant noodles going from 2 yuan to 10 yuan per pack within hours.

Given time off and double wages by the proprietress, Wen Nannan contemplated her next move.

Realizing that the game's wealth couldn't be transferred to reality, she decided to explore the city during a brief lull in the rain.

As the rain soaked her, a sense of worry crept in. If the water continued to rise and she, a poor swimmer, was caught unprepared, what would she do?

She visited a swimming store, initially considering a kayak but ultimately settling for two swimming rings, a life jacket, and a large plastic basin for carrying belongings due to budget constraints.

Wen Nannan lugged a plastic basin with a diameter of 1.5 meters, resembling a turtle carrying a red shell on its back.

The security guard, upon seeing her carrying the basin back to the apartment, curiously asked, "Oh, did you buy such a big basin to take a bath?"

She jokingly told the security guard she was building a boat.

With the typhoon approaching, she secured her windows with wooden boards.

Yunhai City, Day 8

The wind howled outside, causing the lights to flicker. Wen Nannan checked her phone for news updates.

Reporters struggled against the strong winds, their faces contorted, as they relayed information about the typhoon's imminent landfall and its expected impact on the southeastern region.

Social media were flooded with videos capturing people's reactions to the approaching typhoon.

Some risked their safety to film the scene from their windows, while others prayed or spread doomsday theories.

Wen Nannan marveled at the game's realistic portrayal of the world, sometimes feeling as if it were a real place.

She attempted to contact the game system or customer service, shouting into the air, but received no response.

"Are you there? Aren't you bored? Come out and have a chat with me."

"Don't game developers care about player feedback? Come out and interact. Don't you feel lonely? Don't you feel empty? As a game, don't you want to have a cute human friend?"

Her words were lost in the howling wind, like grains of sand falling into the sea.

"The technology in this game is very advanced, but it's not intelligent."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sudden crackling sound filled the room, followed by darkness as the power went out.
