As soon as he stepped out of the rain, the scorching sun rose high in the sky. The scorching heat mercilessly baked the earth, and the air seemed to be burning. Xiao Yi felt his mouth dry and his throat felt like it was on fire. Sweat poured down like a stream, evaporating instantly. His clothes were already soaked with sweat and then dried out, leaving patches of white salt stains.

Besides the inclement weather, the complex terrain also posed a significant challenge. The steep slopes made his progress difficult, with the gravel constantly slipping beneath his feet and the slightest misstep threatening to send him tumbling to the bottom. The dense, thorny forests, with sharp thorns scratching his skin and leaving streaks of blood, were also a challenge. The bottomless swamps were like hidden traps, and a single carelessness could have ensnared him.

While crossing a dry river valley, a sudden mountain torrent rushed over like a beast. Xiao Yi ran desperately, but the rushing water still covered his knees in an instant, and the huge impact made him almost unstable. He grabbed the rocks beside him and fought against the flood tenaciously, and finally escaped by chance.

The arrival of night doubled the danger. In pitch-black darkness, Xiao Yi could only grope his way forward by the faint moonlight. Strange noises echoed from the eerie forest, sending chills down his spine. Suddenly, a pack of hungry wolves leaped from the darkness, their green eyes gleaming with greed in the night. Xiao Yi, weapon in hand, engaged the wolves in a thrilling, life-or-death struggle.

Despite the many difficulties along the way, Xiao Yi's eyes remained firm, and the belief in his heart supported him to keep moving forward, to find the light of hope that would prevent the apocalypse from worsening. Along the way, Xiao Yi moved forward cautiously, but still encountered ferocious mutant creatures.

It was a gigantic two-headed monster, its body as big as a hill, its muscles bulging, its hard scales gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Its two heads were hideous, its fangs bared, and its mouth continuously spewed pungent hot air. Its blood-red eyes were filled with cruelty and greed, staring intently at Xiao Yi as if he were looking at a delicious meal.

There is also a group of birds with sharp claws and fangs, circling in the sky, making creepy screams. Once they find Xiao Yi with the slightest flaw, they will swoop down like lightning, trying to tear him to pieces with their sharp claws.

A python-like monster suddenly jumped out from a dark corner. The patterns on its body were strange and complex, and it emitted a disgusting fishy smell. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing dense fangs, and launched a fierce attack on Xiao Yi.

Every mutant creature was full of aggression, staring at Xiao Yi covetously, making every step he took full of danger and challenge.

Along the way, in addition to ferocious mutant creatures, Xiao Yi also encountered survivors with ulterior motives.

In an abandoned town, Xiao Yi encountered a group of seemingly down-and-out survivors. They were haggard and ragged, but their eyes revealed an elusive cunning. One of them, a tall man, kept secretly observing Xiao Yi from the corner of his eye, his eyes lingering on his equipment and bag, his greedy expression undisguised.

There was also a thin woman who greeted Xiao Yi with a smile and asked about his well-being. However, whenever Xiao Yi turned around, he could feel her cold gaze like a thorn in his back. She secretly exchanged glances with others, as if she was plotting some hidden conspiracy.

While resting in a dilapidated warehouse, Xiao Yi noticed several people gathered together, whispering, occasionally looking up in his direction, their eyes full of calculation. One of the bearded men unconsciously reached for the dagger hidden at his waist, a malicious smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

There was also a middle-aged man who seemed to be honest, who approached Xiao Yi and tried to get information about his itinerary and the supplies he was carrying. Behind his seemingly caring words, there was a deep malicious intention.

These survivors with ulterior motives are like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, ready to launch a fatal attack on Xiao Yi at any time.

But Xiao Yi was not defeated by these difficulties and obstacles. With his firm belief and excellent survival skills, he was able to overcome danger time and time again.

Every time he faced the mutant's ferocious attacks, Xiao Yi's eyes showed no sign of retreat or fear. His faith was like a burning fire, blazing in his heart, giving him endless courage and strength. He gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes firm and focused, searching for the mutant's weakness, and then decisively attacked.

As the two-headed monster lunged at him with its fangs bared, Xiao Yi quickly dodged sideways, nimbly weaving between its attacks. He seized the opportunity, leaped up, and stabbed the sharp blade into one of the monster's eyes, causing it to roar in pain and twist its massive body wildly. Xiao Yi, however, showed no mercy and continued his attack, ultimately successfully repelling it.

Facing a flock of ferocious birds, Xiao Yi cleverly exploited his surroundings. He hid behind a sturdy building, avoiding their first swooping attack. Then, he lit a torch and waved it, creating a sea of fire that deterred the birds from approaching. He then seized the opportunity to pick up rocks and hurled them with force, accurately hitting the wings of several birds, disrupting their formation and successfully averting the crisis.

When dealing with the survivors with ulterior motives, Xiao Yi remained vigilant. He keenly noticed unusual looks and movements, taking precautions. When someone attempted a sneak attack, Xiao Yi, with his exceptional reflexes, quickly turned and subdued the attacker. He used a cold tone to warn those with ill intentions, discouraging them from acting rashly.

In the test of life and death again and again, Xiao Yi's survival skills are constantly improved, and his belief is becoming stronger and stronger. No matter how great the difficulties are, he firmly believes that he can overcome them and survive in this cruel world.
