The night air was filled with tension and intense atmosphere. In this sudden conflict, Xiao Yi tried his best to protect his backpack and supplies and to survive. After that fierce conflict, Xiao Yi looked at the group of people who had once sought his help but now turned against him for the sake of survival supplies, and his heart was filled with sadness and helplessness.

The ugliness of human nature was fully revealed at this moment. The trust they once had was ruthlessly torn apart, and he felt extremely disappointed. Those pairs of eyes filled with greed and desire made him feel strange and terrifying.

Xiao Yi slowly squatted down, picked up the backpack scattered on the ground, and patted the dust on it. His eyes became firm and resolute. He knew that in the face of such a test of humanity, he could no longer walk with these people.

He stood up, took one last look at those people, and without saying a word, turned around silently and walked on his way alone with heavy steps. Every step was filled with thoughts about human nature and confusion about the future.

The wind whistled across his face, as if lamenting his loneliness. His figure seemed so small in the empty wilderness, yet so determined.

He once longed to find companions in this apocalyptic world, to support each other and survive together. But now, he understands that in the face of the darkness of human nature, sometimes going it alone may be the only choice.

Xiao Yi tightened the straps of his backpack and quickened his pace. He didn't know what awaited him ahead, but he knew he had to rely on himself to face this world full of unknowns and dangers. After several days of arduous journeys day and night, Xiao Yi looked exhausted. His clothes were ragged, covered in dust and stains, and his shoes were almost worn out. He could feel the pain in his feet with every step.

Along the way, he encountered strong winds, heavy rains, and faced the crisis of food and water shortages several times. However, Xiao Yi relied on his tenacious will and never stopped moving forward.

Finally, on a hazy morning, Xiao Yi saw the majestic mountain range from afar. It was like a giant dragon winding across the earth, with its towering peaks reaching the sky, giving people a huge sense of oppression.

Xiao Yi dragged his heavy steps, step by step, closer to the mountains. The road under his feet became more and more rugged and uneven, and he had to walk more carefully to avoid falling.

When he actually arrived at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yi was shocked by the scene before him and was speechless. Huge rocks were stacked in a staggered manner, sparse vegetation grew on the steep slopes, and the mountain wind whistled past, bringing bursts of coolness.

Xiao Yi raised his head and looked at the seemingly endless mountain. His heart was filled with fear of the unknown and a desire for challenge. He knew that the road ahead might be more difficult, but he was ready to face the new test.

During the difficult journey of these few days, Xiao Yi encountered many unimaginable difficulties.

Strong winds often swept in without warning, carrying sand and dust that hit his face painfully. Like a raging beast, the wind tore at his clothes and made it difficult for him to walk. Several times, he was nearly knocked over by the wind, and he could only hold on tightly to any object nearby to stabilize himself.

Torrential rain was a frequent feature of his journey. The dense, pea-sized raindrops pounded down, drenching him instantly. The road became muddy, and with every step, his feet sank deeply into the mud, and he struggled to pull them out, a repetitive cycle that drained his energy. Furthermore, the slippery surface caused him to slip repeatedly, leaving him covered in bruises and scrapes.

Food shortages were one of his most pressing problems. The dry rations he carried were quickly depleted, forcing him to scramble for food. Sometimes, he could only dig up roots and pick sour, astringent wild fruits to fill his stomach, the unpalatable taste of which made his stomach churn.

Obtaining water was also extremely difficult. Rivers and streams were not everywhere, and he often had to go a long way to find clean water. On several occasions, he even had his lips chapped and his throat so dry from not drinking water for so long that he could hardly speak.

Besides the challenges posed by the natural environment, Xiao Yi also encountered some dangerous creatures. Once, he accidentally stumbled into a beehive and was chased and stung by angry bees, resulting in large swellings and excruciating pain. Another time, while resting at night, he was attacked by a pack of wild wolves. He could only desperately wave his torch and roar loudly to scare off the ferocious creatures. The thrilling scene still scares him to this day.

In addition, he was also troubled by the fact that he got lost on the road. In the deserted place, without clear road signs and guidance, he went in the wrong direction several times and had to return the same way, wasting a lot of time and energy.

Xiao Yi suffered a lot of torture and hardships along the way.

During the day, the sun blazed high, its relentless rays licking at his skin like tongues of fire, causing his exposed skin to quickly turn red and peel, every inch burning with pain. Sweat streamed down his face, blurring his vision and soaking his already tattered clothes. He didn't even dare to wipe the sweat off, only letting it flow freely down his face, stinging the wounds.

At night, the temperature plummeted, and the chill attacked him like a ghost. He huddled in his simple shelter, shivering, yet still struggled to withstand the biting cold. His thin clothing simply couldn't provide enough warmth, and he often woke up from the cold, his hands and feet numb, almost unconscious.

Hunger was like an invisible hand, constantly gripping his stomach. Sometimes, he couldn't find any food for days on end, and he had to travel on an empty stomach, feeling dizzy and weak in the knees, as if he were about to faint. The wild fruits he occasionally found were sour and astringent, and even after eating them, his stomach would cramp.
