Xiao Yi felt an unprecedented surge of hope rising from the bottom of his heart. He knew he was finally saved. The man walked into the shelter and handed Xiao Yi the food and medicine in his hand. He also helped Xiao Yi build a fire, filling the cold shelter with warmth again.

Xiao Yi sat by the fire and began to enjoy the food the man brought. Although the food was simple, it was incomparably delicious to him who had not eaten for a long time. He ate and drank the medicine at the same time, and felt his body gradually regain some strength.

The man sat aside, observing Xiao Yi quietly. He asked questions from time to time to understand Xiao Yi's condition and living conditions. Xiao Yi also told the man about his own experiences and the changes in the world.

During the conversation, Xiao Yi learned that the man's name was Lin Hao, and he was a member of a group of survivors. They had been searching for other survivors to help them survive this apocalyptic world. Lin Hao expressed his willingness to accept Xiao Yi into their group to face future challenges together.

Xiao Yi's heart was filled with gratitude. He knew that this was his chance to find hope again in this apocalyptic world. He nodded and accepted Lin Hao's invitation, deciding to follow them.

In the light of the fire, Xiao Yi and Lin Hao smiled at each other. They knew that as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward. In this extremely cold apocalypse, they would move forward hand in hand to find a future for mankind.

At the edge of the ruins, sunlight struggled to penetrate the dust, casting a shadow on Xiao Yi's pale yet resolute face. He lay quietly beside a broken stone slab, while the man beside him, Lin Hao, busily prepared herbs for him. Lin Hao's eyes were filled with determination and tenderness, as if telling Xiao Yi that no matter how the world changed, they would face it together.

Xiao Yi's body had been left extremely weak after the devastating incident. However, thanks to Lin Hao's meticulous care, his injuries gradually improved. During their time in the shelter, the two relied on each other, facing hunger, cold, and unknown dangers together. Together they searched for food and water, repaired the damaged parts of the shelter, and ensured a relatively safe place to stay.

One morning, as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the cracks in the window and shone onto the simple dining table, Lin Hao gently woke Xiao Yi, who was still asleep. He brought him a bowl of steaming vegetable soup, made from the fresh ingredients he had risked his life to dig from the ruins. As he watched Xiao Yi sip the soup, Lin Hao finally spoke about his identity.

"Xiao Yi, actually I am not an ordinary survivor. I am a member of the 'Dawn' survivor organization. Our goal is to find and help other survivors in this chaotic era and get through this difficult period together." Lin Hao's voice was low and powerful, and every word was full of responsibility and mission.

After hearing this, Xiao Yi's eyes flashed with shock, but more of a determination. He raised his head, looked at Lin Hao, and said, "Lin Hao, I want to join you. Although I am still very weak now, I am confident that I can contribute my strength to the organization."

Lin Hao smiled and nodded, knowing that Xiao Yi's decision was the right one. The two began to prepare to leave the shelter and embark on a new journey. They packed the necessary items, including food, water, medicine, and simple tools. Before leaving, they also left marks on the wall of the shelter, hoping to provide a clue for other survivors.

The two embarked on their journey, not knowing what lay ahead. They might encounter ferocious beasts, inclement weather, or other unknown dangers. But they believed that as long as they united as one, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Along the way, they met many other survivors. Some chose to join their team and move forward together; some chose to stay where they were and continue their lives. But no matter what choice they made, they all expressed deep respect and gratitude to Xiao Yi and Lin Hao.

After experiencing countless life and death tests, Xiao Yi's body gradually recovered. His willpower and fighting ability were also greatly improved. Lin Hao became his mentor and helpful friend, not only teaching him how to survive, but also teaching him how to be a true warrior.

Ultimately, under the leadership of Xiao Yi and Lin Hao, the Dawn survivor organization grew stronger. They not only helped more survivors find new homes and hope, but also became a force to be reckoned with in this chaotic era. The story of Xiao Yi and Lin Hao became a legendary story within the organization, inspiring every member to strive for survival and a better future.

In the frigid apocalypse, the wind cuts like a knife, the snow falls like goose feathers, and the earth is covered in a blanket of silver, as if even time has frozen in this frozen world. In such an environment, survival becomes the greatest challenge. Xiao Yi and the other survivors struggle in despair, finally discovering a hidden cave among the mountains, which becomes their temporary refuge.

The cave is located mid-mountain, surrounded by dense forest, with only a narrow path leading to the entrance. The entrance is piled with snow, making it almost impossible to discern the hidden world within without careful observation. Inside, the cave, though dimly lit, is spacious enough to accommodate dozens of people. Ice crystals cling to the stone walls, creating a chilling and mysterious atmosphere.

Despite its humble beginnings, the cave was undoubtedly a godsend for these survivors struggling in the extreme cold. They stripped off their soaking wet outerwear and found a dry spot inside to sit, enjoying the long-awaited warmth. While the temperature inside the cave wasn't high, it at least provided them with some protection from the blizzard, offering them a temporary refuge.
