Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

The zombie attack had broken most people mentally.

They had come from a technologically advanced Blue Star to such a primitive society.

The exhaustion from their daytime struggles was already overwhelming, and now, at night, they had to endure a zombie onslaught. The drastic contrast was something they simply could not accept.

As a result, complaints were pouring in. Many simply couldn't bear this world.

Having trouble finding food and water was one thing, but now, even their lives were constantly threatened by monsters at night.

And that wasn't the worst of it—within just one day, quite a few people had already starved to death. Yet, the Federation had provided no solutions.

However, regarding the majority's desire to return to Blue Star, the Federation gave them an answer:

They could no longer return. Blue Star no longer had the necessary conditions to support human survival. If they wanted to live, they had to adapt and survive in this new world.

This response sparked an uproar in the global chat.

"There are just so many zombies—how is this any different from the apocalypse?"

"I just had a brief encounter with them and already lost four health points. What did I do to deserve this?"

"You should be grateful. At least there are no zombies during the day."

"I also noticed something: these zombies all move at the same speed. At least they can't outrun us."

"And we can hide. If there's no other option, just hide for now."

"But my hunger bar is down to two. What should I do? If this keeps up, even if the zombies don't kill me, I'll starve to death."

"..."

At this point, no one in the chat could offer words of comfort anymore.

These people, born and raised in a technologically advanced society, had never experienced the suffering of starvation.

Their frantic food searches during the day had already worn them down to the point where self-reassurance was impossible.

Lin Fan silently typed eight words into the chat:

"Survival of the fittest, survival of the strongest."

The moment this message appeared, it sparked outrage.

"Survival of the fittest? Are you seriously talking about the law of the jungle here?"

"Exactly! We are modern people! How are we supposed to survive in a place like this?"

"Who even are you? Lin Fan? I bet you're just talking tough. Give it two days, and you'll be dead too."

"Yeah, stop pretending to be all mighty."

Already irritated, the people in the chat grew even more aggressive.

Lin Fan glanced at the overwhelmingly negative responses and shrugged helplessly.

"From now on, you are all residents of this world. You are no longer modern people."

"Those who can adapt will survive. Those who can't… will naturally die."

After typing these last two lines, Lin Fan ignored the outraged keyboard warriors.

He pulled out the stone sword from his inventory, listening to the groans of zombies outside his door. It was time to begin his night hunt.

The apples he had stored probably wouldn't last through the night.

Back in his Minecraft days, he had often resorted to eating rotten flesh when food was scarce. He figured that the rotten flesh in this world should be edible too.

If necessary, Lin Fan wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice his sense of taste.

After all, as the saying goes: Food is the first necessity of man.

Just from the time he spent typing, his hunger bar had already dropped to five.

At this alarming rate, it was no surprise that some people had already starved to death today.

There was nothing Lin Fan could do about it. Just as he had said: Survival of the fittest, survival of the strongest.

Lin Fan couldn't save everyone, nor did he have the hero complex to try.

His only priority was ensuring his own survival.

Lin Fan removed one block from the bottom of his house, and zombies were immediately attracted by his scent.

They gathered outside the opening but couldn't reach Lin Fan.

This technique is called "mob farming" in Minecraft, a common method to gather resources from mobs.

Zombies are two-block-tall creatures, and they can only attack players from the top block. The bottom block doesn't allow them to attack.

So, by sealing off the upper blocks and leaving only the lower level open, it's possible to kill mobs without taking any damage.

Zombies crowded outside the opening, growling greedily as if they were desperate to kill Lin Fan.

Compared to others, Lin Fan appeared much calmer.

After all, he'd killed at least 50.000 to 100,000 zombies by now. When he first started playing Minecraft, zombies might have scared him, but now killing them was as easy as squashing an ant.

Looking at the zombies inching closer to the opening, Lin Fan pulled out his stone sword and started slashing at them.

After just one swing, Lin Fan noticed a health bar appear above his field of vision, showing a total of 40 health points.

In the original Minecraft, zombies only had 20 health points, but the zombies in this world had 40.

It seemed that the monsters in this world were stronger compared to those in the Minecraft universe.

Lin Fan tested further and found that his stone sword dealt only 5 damage per hit, the same as in Minecraft.

Doing the math, the difficulty in this world was essentially doubled compared to Minecraft.

This realization made Lin Fan feel a little uneasy.

It seemed he needed to be extra cautious to survive in this world.

As he thought this, Lin Fan continued methodically farming the zombies. After much effort, he finally killed one zombie with his stone sword. Just then, his screen froze for a moment.

[Ding~! Congratulations to Lin Fan for achieving the first Zombie kill! Reward granted!]

This message suddenly popped up in front of Lin Fan, accompanied by a slight vibration. His inventory also flashed as if something new had been added.

Lin Fan was a bit confused.

"First zombie kill?" he muttered softly.

Meanwhile, the world chat had exploded into chaos.

"What's going on? There's an announcement for the first zombie kill?"

"Damn, who killed a zombie? I barely scratched one earlier, and it immediately regenerated. How did someone actually kill one of these things?"

"Holy crap, is this Lin Fan guy hacking?"

"Hacking? If this were a game, I'd believe it, but this isn't even a game!"

"This whole thing is way too realistic. What reward did he get? Was it food?"

"Regardless, killing a zombie is insane. I was running for my life, and he managed to kill one."

"Wait, is this the same Lin Fan who said survival of the fittest and natural selection earlier?"

"Looks like it is."

"Damn, I thought he had this 'king of the world' vibe, and it turns out he actually has the strength to back it up?"

"Killing a zombie is ridiculous. I don't believe it unless he explains how he did it. (LOL)"

"…"
