Ye Li's RV drove smoothly on the road, its wheels rolling forward and kicking up a light cloud of dust.
Outside the car window, the scenery on both sides rushed past like a stream of light.
Ye Li stared out the window, looking bored and somewhat dazed.
There seemed to be something extra on those lush trees.
Ye Li became curious and couldn't help but squint her eyes to take a closer look.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the trunks of each tree were covered with many colorful insect eggs.
They look like colorful mushrooms the size of a fist.
"It's definitely poisonous!"
Ye Li muttered something to himself.
Afterwards, Ye Li withdrew his gaze, had Xiao Ai project the screen, and continued watching "The New Legend of Mei Changsu".
Time passed quietly, and after an unknown amount of time, Ye Li gradually felt a sense of weariness creeping over him.
My eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and finally, unable to resist the onslaught of drowsiness, I slowly closed my eyes.
When Ye Li slowly woke up again, he happened to hear the notification sound from the screen that night had fallen.
Ye Li rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched, then sat up straight and looked out the window.
The secluded forest road remained unchanged, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.
Only a thin layer of mist rose from the ground again.
"Master, the meal is ready!"
Jianjian's voice came from the kitchen.
Hearing the sound, Ye Li turned around. Jianjian, wearing an apron, was carrying a large basin steadily in both hands as she walked briskly out of the kitchen.
The basin was filled to the brim with steaming hot, fragrant legendary snake meat porridge.
Jianjian placed the bowl on the dining table, then quickly returned to the kitchen and brought out a plate of golden, crispy flatbread.
"Tonight's meal is egg and snake meat porridge with flatbread. Master, please enjoy your meal!"
Jianjian introduced with a smile.
Ye Li picked up the spoon, took a small bite, and praised, "Hmm, not bad."
It tastes much better than the ant meat I had at noon.
"hey-hey!"
Upon hearing Ye Li's praise, Jianjian blushed slightly, scratched its head, and returned to its corner to continue squatting.
Ye Li opened the chat channel.
[Number of online users: 168,912]
"More than 10,000 people died today. At this rate, we'll all be dead in another half month!"
A tense atmosphere was spreading in the chat channel.
"Those poisonous insects are terrifying. They always appear in swarms. Who can stand that?"
"I saw a group of spiders today, and they spun a huge web in the middle of the road. It was terrifying."
"No wonder Ye Shen burned the forest down. If it were me, I would have burned it down too."
"You try it. I guarantee you'll be punished by heaven if you burn it now!"
"I just don't dare! I'm so stupid!"
"I'm too scared to go out when I see a resource box now, for fear of encountering poisonous insects!"
"Hey, don't even mention it, I can only hide in the car right now, I can't move at all!"
"Let me see! Am I poisoned too?"

The picture shows a man's foot.
It's swollen like an elephant's hoof.
The whole thing turned green.
Moreover, there are many festering sores on it.
It was riddled with holes and looked extremely disgusting.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have opened it!" Ye Li frowned, almost spitting out the meat porridge he had just eaten.
"Holy crap! Bro, did you get bitten on the foot by a poisonous insect?"
"I don't know either! I just felt my toes were swollen when I woke up today, and then they turned into this by the afternoon."
"You've probably been inhaling too much drug miasma!"
"Waaaaah, what am I going to do? Someone please save me! I've only just turned 18, I don't want to die!"
"Brother, I have a bottle of antidote here. It's only high-quality, so it won't be very effective, but it should at least relieve your pain. Do you want it?"
"Yes, yes, big brother, hurry up and make a deal with me!"
"Ahem, this isn't free. I got this from resource boxes in the last two worlds. The resources we can make now are no longer available, which means that every time we use one, there's one less left... Do you understand what I mean?"
"Brother, name your price. I'll pay any amount of resources as long as they're useful!"
"100 rare materials or a perfect-grade car engine or transmission blueprint would do, but I don't know if you can provide them!"
"......"
Before the poisoned survivor could speak...
The other survivors who were watching the spectacle were already yelling, "This is too much of a rip-off!"
"So expensive? You should keep it for your own breeding!"
"No, no, I want it, I want it!"
The survivor, whose feet were swollen like elephant feet, shouted hoarsely.
"Hey, you idiot, I've already tried it. High-quality antidotes are practically useless!"
"Heh, when you're desperate, you'll try anything, even if it's a hopeless case!"
"It's evening again, brothers, good luck!"
"Hehe, I snagged a plant that purifies the air in the store today, so I don't have to be afraid of any poisonous miasma anymore!"
"Damn it, I've been camping out in the trading market all day and haven't managed to snag a single one, waaaaah!"
"Can anyone give me a green plant? I'll trade it for one of my personal photos. If we meet again in the future, you can let me have it first!"
"......"
Ye Li watched with great interest while eating with relish.
In less than fifteen minutes, the man and the monkey had finished the meat porridge in the bowl and the flatbread on the plate.
Empty basins and plates were thrown out the window to save on cleaning.
Ye Li went to the bathroom to wash up briefly and returned to the massage chair, continuing to browse the survivors' casual chat in the chat channel.
Xiao Ai, who was lying on the dining table, suddenly shouted, "Master, Zhao Jingguo sent you a private message, wanting to buy an antidote pill from you!"
"Hehe, what a rare guest!"
Ye Li opened the private chat interface, found Zhao Jingguo, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you poisoned?"
Zhao Jingguo quickly replied, "It's Lei Qing. He found a resource box today and went into the forest, but he was bitten by a poisonous insect!"
