Kaifeng Mansion was as solemn and dignified as ever. Lord Bao Zheng sat in the courtroom, his face solemn and his eyes as sharp as torches, examining everyone in the courtroom. Today's case was confusing and had troubled Kaifeng Mansion for several days. At this moment, Li Yi bowed and said, "Lord Bao, this is the murderer this time!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar. Bao Zheng nodded slightly, his eyes shot towards the person being identified. Zhan Zhao, who was beside Bao Zheng, immediately acted like an arrow from a bow, and took the man down swiftly. The murderer was brought to the front of the hall, and although his face was ashen, he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Bao Zheng slammed the gavel and said in a deep voice: "Sir, do you know your crime?" The murderer raised his head, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and sneered: "Master Bao, if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. I didn't kill anyone, so what crime have I committed?"

Bao Zheng remained calm and said slowly: "When I handle cases, evidence is always the most important thing. If you didn't kill anyone, why did you leave such obvious traces at the crime scene?" As he spoke, he motioned for Li Yi to present the evidence.

Li Yi walked forward quickly and placed an object on the table. It was a blood-stained dagger, and the cold light flashed on the blade, which made people shudder. Bao Zheng continued: "This is an object found at the crime scene. The blood on it matches the deceased. And there is a special mark engraved on this dagger, which is exactly the same as the one in your home. How do you explain it?"

The murderer's face changed, but he still tried to remain calm and defended himself, "Although this dagger is similar to the one I have at home, there are so many similar things in the world. How can you conclude that it was me based on this alone?"

Bao Zheng smiled and said, "You are right. It is difficult to convict him based on this thing alone. But I have another piece of evidence." He gestured to Li Yi again, and Li Yi took out a piece of paper with a line of words written on it: "On the night of the full moon, take his life."

"This note was found on the deceased. After identification, the handwriting is exactly the same as yours. What else do you have to say?" Bao Zheng stared at the murderer with a sharp gaze.

The murderer's forehead was covered with sweat, but he still refused to plead guilty, saying, "Mr. Bao, handwriting can also be forged. This evidence is not reliable."

Bao Zheng smiled coldly and said, "Since you are so stubborn, I have no choice but to call out the last witness." He clapped his hands, and a woman walked out from the back of the hall. Her face was haggard, but her eyes were firm.

"This is the deceased's sister. She witnessed you arguing with the deceased and threatening to take his life. With all the evidence and witnesses, why don't you plead guilty?" Bao Zheng shouted loudly, shaking the hall.

Upon hearing this, the murderer collapsed to the ground, his face pale. He knew that he could no longer argue, so he had to bow his head and confess his guilt. It turned out that he had a long-standing grudge with the deceased due to a dispute over money, so he decided to kill her and carefully planned this murder.

When Bao Zheng saw the murderer confessed, he ordered him to be taken to jail and be dealt with according to law in the future. The people in the hall saw this and praised Bao Zheng for his wisdom and bravery in solving strange cases and getting rid of harm for the people.

Zhan Zhao stood beside Bao Zheng and whispered, "Master Bao, this case was solved so quickly, thanks to your keen insight and wisdom."

Bao Zheng smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Guard Zhan, you are too kind. Solving a case requires not only wisdom, but also carefulness and patience. Every detail and every clue should not be easily let go. Only in this way can we truly achieve fairness and justice, not wrongly accusing a good person, and not letting a bad person go."

At this time, the sun was shining outside the hall, and Kaifeng Prefecture was peaceful. Bao Zheng looked at the people in the hall, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that as the prefect of Kaifeng, he shouldered the responsibility of upholding justice and protecting the people. He would continue to work diligently, redress grievances for the people, and eliminate violence and protect the good.

Li Yi stood in the vast primeval forest, the flame in his hand began to burn fiercely, jumping as if it had life. In an instant, he was surrounded by flames, like a fire man. This was his newly awakened ability - controlling flames. The monsters on the opposite side were frightened to retreat when they saw Li Yi in such a state. Their huge bodies seemed insignificant under the deterrence of the flames.

Li Yi felt the power surging in his body, and his heart was extremely excited. He had imagined countless times that he had superpowers, and now his dream had come true. He was fearless as if he had the same lifespan as the heaven and the earth. The flames danced in his hands, as if he was using his arms and fingers, and every wave brought up a wave of blazing fire.

The monster growled, and its huge claws dug deep marks on the ground. It was obviously unwilling to retreat easily. Li Yi knew that although he had awakened his superpowers, his combat power was only 10 points. Facing such a huge monster, he still had to be cautious. He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and condensed the flame in his palm.

"Burn!" Li Yi shouted, and the flame in his palm shot towards the monster like an arrow. The flame drew a dazzling trajectory in the air and hit the monster's leg accurately. The monster roared in pain, and the hair on its legs instantly turned to ashes. Li Yi was delighted, it seemed that his flames were indeed intimidating to the monster.

However, the monster did not retreat, but became even more angry. It opened its bloody mouth and sprayed a strong venom at Li Yi. Li Yi quickly dodged, and the venom hit the tree behind him, and the tree withered and rotted instantly. Li Yi was secretly shocked, this monster was really not easy to deal with.

At this moment, a group of ants staggered past Li Yi. Li Yi had an idea. Since burning wood could not increase his experience, he might as well try burning these ants. He immediately waved the flame in his hand, and the flame swept away like a hurricane, instantly devouring the ants.

With a crackling sound, the ants were burned black. Li Yi glanced at the system panel and found that his experience points had indeed increased. Although not much, it at least proved that this was an effective method. However, Li Yi knew that he could not always rely on this method to improve his strength. Facing the monster in front of him, he had to go all out.

Li Yi condensed the flames again, and this time he turned the flames into a fire dragon, and pounced on the monster. The fire dragon circled in the air, making a deafening roar. The monster was frightened by the fire dragon's momentum and did not dare to act rashly. Li Yi took the opportunity to get close to the monster and slapped the flames directly on its body.

The monster let out a roar that shook the heavens, and its huge body struggled in the flames. Li Yi gritted his teeth and continued to send flames to the monster, and the power in his body seemed to be endless. Finally, the monster could not hold on any longer, collapsed with a loud bang, and turned into a pile of ash.

Li Yi looked at the system panel, and his experience points increased significantly, and his combat power also increased to 15 points. Although he was exhausted, he knew that this battle allowed him to truly master the power of fire. The remaining time to survive increased to ten days. Li Yi believed that as long as he continued to work hard, he would become stronger.

Li Yi smiled slightly, and the flame slowly went out in his hand. He knew that this primeval forest would become the cradle of his growth, and his flame would illuminate the entire forest and even the wider world.

At this moment, Li Yi stood on a ruin. The sky was gray, as if the whole world was covered by a thick layer of dust. In the distance, the broken high-rise buildings were like tombstones, telling of the once prosperous civilization. The cold wind was biting and cold, foreshadowing the invasion of the cold wave in the future. Li Yi knew that he had to take action to build a safe shelter to provide a safe haven for himself and the survivors.

A few months ago, a sudden disaster swept the world. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions followed one after another, and the extreme climate that followed caught humans off guard. Food and water became scarce, and the living environment deteriorated sharply. Li Yi was a construction engineer. After the disaster, he survived with his rich knowledge and tenacious willpower. At this moment, he understood that building a shelter was a top priority.

Li Yi first needed to find a suitable location. After careful investigation, he chose an abandoned factory at the foot of a mountain. Backed by a mountain, it could resist the invasion of cold waves; surrounded by natural streams, providing valuable water sources; and the factory's building structure was solid, so it could become a safe shelter with a little renovation.

Li Yi started the intense preparations as soon as he said he would. He first cleaned up the ruins of the factory and collected useful building materials. Steel bars, cement, and wood are particularly precious in the doomsday world. He used the tools in his hands to reinforce the walls of the factory and installed an insulation layer on the roof to resist the coming cold.

The safety of the shelter is the top priority. Li Yi set up a circle of barbed wire around the factory and installed a simple alarm system. He also collected some abandoned vehicles and piled them at the entrance to form a barrier. In addition, he made several sharp weapons in case of emergency. Although Li Yi hopes to get along peacefully with other survivors, he also knows that people's hearts are unpredictable in the doomsday, and he must be prepared for the worst.

In order to cope with the shortage of food and water, Li Yi opened a vegetable garden in the shelter. He used containers abandoned by the factory, filled them with soil, and planted various vegetables. At the same time, he also built a rainwater collection system to store precious rainwater for irrigation and life. In order to ensure energy supply, Li Yi installed solar panels on the roof. Although the power generation is limited, it is enough to maintain the operation of basic lighting and communication equipment.

As the shelter was gradually built, survivors found it one after another. Li Yi did not reject them, but warmly accepted them. He knew that only by unity could we survive in the doomsday world. Everyone worked together to improve the living facilities of the shelter and established a simple division of labor system. Some were responsible for farming, some for security, and some for maintenance and construction.

Days passed, and the cold wave finally arrived. It was freezing outside, but warm as spring inside the shelter. Everyone sat together, sharing the hard-earned food and confiding their hopes to each other. Li Yi looked at these survivors, and his heart was full of confidence. He knew that as long as they did not give up, they would surely usher in a new dawn.

On the ruins of the apocalypse, Li Yi and his companions used their wisdom and courage to build a safe shelter. This is not only a safe haven for their bodies, but also a harbor for their souls. Here, they will meet the challenges of the future together and write a new chapter for the survivors.
