Chapter 770 Mutated Octopus as Meal

In this post-disaster world, darkness and despair loom like a gloomy haze, yet the light of hope gleams tenaciously in the hearts of humanity. Amidst the rubble, figures bustle with determination. Their clothes are ragged, their hands scarred, yet they toil tirelessly. New buildings rise bit by bit from the ruins, symbolizing the people's longing and anticipation for a future life. Every newly laid brick, every erected beam, carries the weight of hope. In school, the sound of children reading once again fills the air. Though classrooms are sparse and textbooks scarce, their eyes are filled with a thirst for knowledge. Teachers, with their hoarse voices, dedicate their utmost efforts to imparting the spark of wisdom, knowing full well that education is the beacon of hope for the future. In the fields, farmers toil diligently. The soil may be barren, the seeds precious, but they sow the seeds with care, eager for a burst of green vitality. Every seedling that breaks through the soil is a messenger of hope, bringing the promise of a harvest. In research laboratories, scientists toil day and night. Working within limited resources, they constantly experiment and innovate, searching for answers to challenges like resource shortages and environmental degradation. Every breakthrough in an experiment, every new technology, brings people one step closer to hope. In communities, people help each other and share their limited supplies. Warm smiles and encouraging words spread, dispelling the gloom in hearts. Every moment of mutual support, every experience of overcoming difficulties together, fuels the flame of hope. Across this devastated land, humanity never gives up hope. With unwavering perseverance and courage, they overcome countless obstacles. They cry, feel despair, but every time they fall, they rise again and keep moving forward. Because they believe that as long as the light of hope remains radiant, they will surely write a magnificent chapter of human survival and development in this post-disaster world. It is a yearning for a better life, an unwavering faith in the future, a light of hope that cannot be extinguished, no matter how many storms they endure.

"As long as we live, there is hope for rebuilding our home." These powerful words, like a blazing flame, burned brightly in everyone's heart. In a land ravaged beyond recognition by disaster, sadness and despair faded from the eyes of the people, replaced by a resolute and fervent light. From the elderly with white hair to the tenderest children, this declaration of faith etched itself deeply into their souls. A middle-aged man, once the owner of a thriving factory, now lay in ruins. Standing amid the rubble, he clenched his fists and silently recited these words. His gaze fixed firmly on the horizon, as if he envisioned a future where the factory would once again stand, the machinery roaring. He resolved to start from scratch, rebuilding his own business with his own hands and wisdom. A young mother, having lost her loving home, now lived with her young child in a makeshift tent. Every night, when her child cried out of fear, she would hold him tightly and whisper in his ear, "As long as we're alive, there's hope for rebuilding our home." Her eyes shone with maternal love and hope for the future, determined to create a safe and warm home for her child. An old farmer, heartbroken as he looked upon his flooded farmland, remained undeterred. His gnarled hands gripped his tools, his heart burning with the hope of rebuilding. He believed that as long as the land remained, as long as he breathed, he would make it produce abundant crops again. A group of young people spontaneously organized themselves to clear the streets of garbage and repair damaged roads. Sweat soaked their clothes, but their faces shone with optimism and determination. They encouraged each other, sharing a common belief: to use their youth and strength to contribute to the reconstruction of their hometown. This belief burned fiercely in every corner and in every heart. It gave people the strength to face the challenges of reality and overcome countless hardships and dangers. It gave people the assurance that no matter how dire the current situation, as long as life persisted, hope would never die, and the dream of rebuilding their homeland would one day become a beautiful reality. Xiao Yi and the others wore solemn expressions, their gazes determined and alert. They knew they were about to face numerous unknown threats, and the slightest negligence could lead to irreversible consequences. To cope with any possible crisis, they made meticulous preparations. Every detail was carefully considered, and every possible scenario rehearsed and analyzed. Xiao Yi personally inspected the equipment, ensuring that every weapon was in top condition and every tool would be ready for the critical moment. His hands were steady and powerful, his eyes focused and sharp, not missing a single flaw. Others also went about their duties. Some sorted supplies, sorting food, medicine, and water into separate storage areas for quick access; others studied maps and intelligence, trying to deduce the source and possible direction of the threat from the limited clues available; and still others engaged in physical training, keeping their bodies in peak condition for the fierce battles to come. The entire team was filled with a tense and serious atmosphere. Everyone was on high alert and dared not slack off in the slightest. They had only one belief in their hearts: to be fully prepared, meet unknown challenges, and defend everything they cherished.

Xiao Yi and his companions knew that facing unknown threats, thorough preparation was crucial for survival. They meticulously prepared their weapons. Boxes of brand-new firearms were carefully unpacked, each rifle rigorously inspected and calibrated. Bullets were neatly stacked in ammunition boxes, abundant in quantity and variety. Sharp daggers were meticulously polished, their blades gleaming in the sunlight. Crossbow strings were adjusted to optimal tension, their arrows pointed with impeccable sharpness. Grenades, smoke bombs, and other items were stored separately to ensure quick access when needed. Food storage was paramount. They scoured the warehouses, bringing in large quantities of compressed biscuits, canned goods, and drinking water. Staples like rice and flour were also piled up in bags, along with condiments like cooking oil, salt, and sugar. Fresh vegetables and fruit were carefully stored to ensure a short-term supply of essential vitamins. Reinforcement work on the fortifications was also underway. They brought heavy stones and piled them around the camp to form a solid wall. Sharp wooden stakes were erected on top of the wall to prevent the enemy from climbing. Deep trenches were dug and lined with spikes.
