Thick and low dark clouds enveloped the entire sky like dark curtains. It was still during the day, but the light was still gray. Even the sun looked like a slightly brighter halo.

The nuclear winter lasts longer than expected, and a large amount of dust permeates the Earth's near space, causing the Earth's natural purification speed to greatly slow down.

Ling Zhongan glanced at the halo and found that it was almost evening. He couldn't help but speed up and rushed towards the cave.

The cave is twenty or thirty kilometers away. If you don’t hurry up and have not returned home, it will probably be until evening.

Once night falls, this place is a hellish world. Not only is the temperature even colder, but the darkness as deep as an abyss is completely difficult to move forward. Many people gathered in the area forgot time because they went out to hunt and never came back.

Even if he is, he should be careful to avoid losing his direction.

The originally warm corpse was blown by the cold wind and gradually became completely frozen. Water continued to seep down his shoulders, causing the animal skin on his body to be frozen hard and hard. It was even colder to wear animal skin than not wearing it.

Fortunately, as the top super evolver in mankind, this level of cold cannot affect him.

Ling Zhongan carried the mutant beast and strided forward all the way. Before the sun's halo was about to be swallowed by the horizon, he finally arrived at his destination.

He lifted the broken iron cover blocking the hole, revealing the steps on the ground.

This staircase cut from ice cubes, winding inside and reaching more than 500 meters underground, not only digging through the ice layer, but also digging through the frozen soil layer.

Compared with decades ago, there are very few people gathered here. Over the years, those who died of old age, those who died of illness, those who died of illness, and those who disappeared were missing. The number of people originally nearly 100 is only a dozen people left.

It’s not that there are no women here. In fact, although the number of women here cannot be compared with men, it accounts for one-third. However, forty or fifty years have passed, and no population has been born.

Those who can survive to this day are basically evolvers. The genetic differences between them have formed reproductive isolation to some extent. If there is no accident, in a hundred years, human beings may completely disappear.

...

The atmosphere today is a bit dull, and almost all the people who go out to hunt are back empty-handed. The people here have been ignorant of the meat smell for three days.

Of course, apart from meat, there are not many other foods stored here, so they will not starve to death. However, most of them are tender grass roots and tubers dug in the frozen soil near this cave. They not only taste bitter but also contain much calories. Even if you eat a round stomach, it will be completely a torment in this cold and frozen environment at night.

It was not until Ling Zhongan arrived with his prey that the atmosphere here became more warm.

Ling Zhongan smiled and threw down the food: "I was finally lucky today. Xiaohu, go and deal with it."

The young man named Xiaohu quickly stood up and said with joy on his face: "Okay, boss!"

It is a bad idea to deal with prey. As the saying goes, a chef who does not starve to death. Although he is not a chef in handling prey, there are still many opportunities to do it during the process. At least you can eat enough just the scattered ice clots.

He picked up the corpse of the mutant beast, hugged in the corner, stood up and followed.

This is not the Garden of Eden of human beings. The most basic rule is that the survival of the weak and the strong is the most important rule. Having a fixed partner here is a completely symbol of status. As Ling Zhongan’s iron-core subordinate, he still barely has a fixed woman.

But her image is a bit unsatisfactory. Half of her face was completely torn off by a mutant beast in a previous life-and-death battle, looking hideous and terrifying.

However, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will be greatly discounted here. It is completely normal not to take a bath for a few years. The thick dirt on her face can no longer see her original appearance.

...

The flames were burning very vigorously, with a few red charcoal burning with light red flames, occasionally emitting bursts of sparks.

One by one, it was a rough iron pot made by laymen, which was set on stones. The broth on it had already rumbling. The heat dispelled the coldness of the cave and emitted a seductive and rich fragrance.

A woman with a good complexion sprinkled a few black mineral salts, stirred the thick white broth with a spoon, then leaned in front of her mouth, blew it a few times, regardless of the heat, took a big sip, and suddenly everyone's throats loosened.

"Brother Ling, you can eat it." She said to Ling ZhongAn with a charming smile.

Ling Zhongan smiled and nodded, saying unscrupulously: "The old rules, whoever hunts prey will be divided into half, and the rest will be divided into half."

Of course, as the boss here, others should still have his filial piety when hunting prey.

As he said that, he picked up a wooden big sea bowl with his left hand, took a spoon with his right hand, picked a large piece of meat with fat meat, put it into the bowl one by one, filled the big sea bowl with a full fill, and then added soup.

After he finished filling, the rest of the talents couldn't wait to bring the empty bowl and come up.

Although the scene looks chaotic, it is carefully distinguished and has a certain default order.

There is not much meat cooked. After Ling Zhongan is halfway, each person can get a few taels of meat. Fortunately, the broth is enough.

The hot pieces of meat accompanied by the soft broth rolled down the throat and into the stomach. A warm feeling came from the stomach, and the body couldn't help but feel a little sweat.

Ling Zhongan divided the meat into two women, and the rest was wrapped around him, and several kilograms of meat were filled into his belly. The feeling of fullness actually made him feel a little satisfied.

...

Good sleep all night.

The next morning, Ling Zhongan, who was hugging two women, was not ready to get up early.

Today, the rest of the people don’t have much desire to go out to hunt. The half ton of meat brought back by Ling Zhongan can be eaten for more than a month. Even though everyone gets very little, it is still enough to survive with vegetable roots and tubers.

"Why did it suddenly shake?" This evolver, who was extremely sensitive to fluctuations, suddenly opened his eyes from his sleep, his eyes full of vigilance.

The rest of the people couldn't sleep immediately, and they lifted their skins and stood up. Those who were not wary of the end of the world would not survive now, not to mention that the volcano hundreds of kilometers away had obvious signs of recovery recently, and people could not be unaware of it.

"Boss, I'll go and have a look!" Xiaoshi said cleverly.

"No, go together!" Ling Zhongan walked out of the cave first, and a group of people walked out along the stairs. If an earthquake really occurred, staying underground would be a long life.

The vibration became more and more obvious, as if it was from far to near, with a certain rhythm, as if there was a mountain walking towards this side.

By the time we were halfway through, everyone had already guessed roughly what caused it.

"Forget it, go back. It should be that level 8 beast again. Just wait until it passes." Ling Zhongan said, his tone was weak and depressed.

"It's this damn beast again!" The crowd cursed.

This is a terrifying beast that looks like ape. For some reason, for decades, I have been wandering around this area almost every one or two years. At the beginning, it was only ten meters tall and about level seven. Ling Zhongan also regarded it as prey at that time and was eager to try it out. But every time he gave up because the distance was too far or worried about injury.

By the time he made up his mind, the giant beast had already become a level 8 creature.
