When the apocalypse erupts, it opens the path to the extraordinary. Super energy and the power of pollution constantly erode each other, giving birth to a third entity: those who can integrate both...
Seeing that Olli was also building, Fei Yan, Hei Da Shuai, and Xiao Yao Jun, who were originally somewhat hesitant, seemed to be encouraged by something. After looking at each other, they finally decided to work together to build a larger shelter.
After all, given their abilities, completing such a task would be a piece of cake. So, the group immediately sprang into action, each displaying their skills, and soon a large shelter was built.
Time flies, and as the days go by, Gu Lingxiao realizes that he needs a special place to store the ever-increasing supplies.
So he rebuilt a spacious warehouse.
However, not all supplies can be preserved for a long time.
Those fresh and juicy fruits, though delicious, cannot withstand the test of time and begin to spoil and rot after only a few days. Fortunately, however, there are many foods such as nuts that can be stored for a long time without spoiling.
The most eye-catching item was the mountain of dried animal meat.
These jerky products are not only nutritious, but also provide a sustained source of energy.
One day, Hei Dashuai inadvertently caught a glimpse of the tempting beef jerky hanging on the wall by Gu Lingxiao, and his face instantly darkened.
Without saying a word, he rushed into the forest and, with his agile skills, captured several wolves, which he then turned into jerky.
This action angered Xiaoyao Jun, who was also a member of the dog clan.
It's worth noting that Xiaoyao Jun's appearance is extremely similar to that of a husky, and he even bears a striking resemblance to a wolf.
When he discovered that Black Commander was hunting his own kind and turning them into jerky, his anger was instantly ignited.
Without hesitation, he rushed forward and gave Hei Dashuai a sound beating until the man begged for mercy.
After the conflict, Xiaoyao Jun resolutely left the place where they had lived together and went to find a new place to live and build his own shelter.
With a bruised and swollen face, Hei Dashuai limped up to Gu Lingxiao. His once large eyes were now narrowed into slits, revealing a deep resentment.
That mournful gaze was like a cold arrow, shooting straight at Gu Lingxiao, causing the latter to shiver involuntarily. He thought to himself, "What's going on? It's like I've done something to him."
At this moment, time seemed plentiful for Gu Lingxiao.
So he decided to use this free time to make some delicious dried fruit.
He carefully selected various fresh fruits, washed them, peeled them, removed the pits, and then cut them into even thin slices or strips.
Next, place the cut fruit in a well-ventilated and sunny place to dry.
After several days of patient waiting, the sweet and tempting dried fruit is finally ready!
Not only that, Gu Lingxiao, in high spirits, even had the leisure to try brewing fruit wine!
In the days that followed, Gu Lingxiao carefully observed the changes in the fruit wine every day, stirring it from time to time to ensure that the fermentation process proceeded smoothly.
As time passed by, the first month quietly came to an end.
At this time, the fruits and various resources in this mysterious land are still extremely abundant, each exuding a captivating aroma that makes one's mouth water.
Almost all creatures were working tirelessly, frantically plundering these precious treasures.
However, everyone soon discovered that most of the fruits would rot and spoil quickly if not dealt with in time due to their high water content.
The only way to preserve these fruits for a long time is to process them into dried fruit.
Unfortunately, most creatures are too busy scrambling for other treasures that are easier to store to pay attention to this matter.
Even so, the number of treasures here was still astonishing, and there was no fierce fighting among them.
And so, the first month passed peacefully yet fulfilling.
When the second month arrived, the situation changed slightly.
The number of perishable fruits has decreased significantly, leaving only some varieties that are relatively durable for storage.
At the same time, competition among organisms gradually intensified, with occasional small-scale battles breaking out.
Overall, however, such conflicts are not frequent and the situation remains under control.
This situation caused a pang of regret to rise in the hearts of General Hei, Fei Yan, and Xiao Yao Jun.
In the past few days, despite their efforts to collect various resources, they have achieved very little.
Only Ollie was focused on gathering supplies for the winter, and like Gu Lingxiao, he managed to acquire a considerable amount of dried fruit.
Moreover, because Ollie's diet was quite varied, he also carefully prepared a large amount of dried meat for emergencies.
Time flies, and it's already the third month since autumn began.
At this moment, a large number of ripe fruits fell like raindrops, and the trees gradually turned golden.
At the same time, those already incredibly rare treasures became even scarcer, and a large-scale battle for them broke out between various forces.
Looking out, the vast expanse of land was filled with the smoke of gunpowder and the flames of war.
The creatures either fought each other mercilessly because they had discovered the same rare treasure at the same time; or they harbored ill intentions and tried to steal the treasures carried by others... All sorts of reasons intertwined, making this fierce conflict escalate.
Fortunately, this mysterious world is vast and exceptionally sturdy, and despite the fierce battles fought by so many powerful creatures, it has not been completely destroyed.
As autumn fades into winter, and the seasons change, autumn quietly comes to a close.
The temperature plummeted as if it were on a slide, and the coldness enveloped the earth like a shadow.
Even extraordinary beings are helpless against this biting cold and cannot resist its onslaught.
Those creatures that had once fiercely competed for resources suddenly realized that their food sources had been cut off.
Hunger, like a demon baring its fangs and claws, drove them to wage an even more brutal battle.
To satisfy their hunger, the carnivorous superhumans did not hesitate to extend their fangs towards the herbivorous superhumans, and even ruthlessly killed their fellow carnivores.
The extraordinary creatures that originally fed on grass were forced to go against their nature and try eating meat after losing their source of fodder.
Although the meat tastes bad and has limited nutritional value, it can at least temporarily relieve the pain of hunger.
In the first month after the onset of winter, heavy snow fell from the sky. The goose-feather-like snowflakes danced in the air and soon completely covered this devastated world with a pure white, silver-clad world.
The temperature was so low that it made people shiver, and even powerful supernatural beings could not escape the fate of freezing to death.
In the previous chaotic battle, a large number of ordinary creatures died or even disappeared, resulting in extremely scarce food available for consumption, making it a rare commodity.
Black General witnessed a supernatural creature freeze to death in the icy wilderness, its life force extinguished.
Recalling how he had heeded Gu Lingxiao's advice and made preparations for the harsh winter in advance, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of relief.
If she hadn't listened to Gu Lingxiao back then, she might have ended up in the same miserable state as that frozen supernatural creature.
