Survive through the ancient apocalypse

Early the next morning, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi left their two sons in the care of the Jiang family's three mothers and daughters. After a hasty breakfast, they headed to the field.They came back late yesterday and didn't have enough time, so they just dug a shallow pit and filled it with seawater, which was regarded as a place for marine plants.Such a pool is too simple, and the sea water will become much shallower after one night.There is no way, the bottom and wall of the pool have not been treated, and the water leakage is serious.

Today, it is not only necessary to expand the range of the pool, but also to lay stones to prevent water leakage.The pool is located between the fields. If the seawater leaks for a long time, the salt content in the seawater will be high, which will affect the fertility of the surrounding fields, and may even form a saline-alkali land.This is what Ye Mingze does not want to see, so whether it is for the pool itself or the surrounding land, waterproof measures must be taken.

The pool was dug very deep, more than ten meters.At this depth, many sentinels can dive easily without worrying about fruit picking.These marine plants originally grew on the seabed at least 200 meters deep, and the Ye family built a seawater pool, which naturally couldn't do this.Besides, I don't know if these plants can grow alive. After comprehensive consideration, Ye Mingze chose such a depth without much thought.

For humans, these are new things.Now that everyone is standing on the same starting line, how to deal with it is still in the process of groping.Whoever seizes the opportunity and takes the lead will live a better life.If someone is capable and lucky, then as long as he has a little advantage, he will be able to snowball in half, getting bigger and bigger.And those who lose the opportunity are likely to be left behind all the way, looking at the people running in front, they can't catch up.

Ye Mingze naturally didn't want the Ye family to be eliminated like this, so the Ye family's ability must keep up with the main force.There are gains and losses. The living conditions in Yejia Village are better than many places outside. The environment is too comfortable, which makes the people in Yejia Village less aggressive and less adventurous.If things go on like this, the competitiveness of Yejiacun people will become lower and lower.

Ye Mingze can't control the others, and he has no right to control them. He only needs to worry about the Ye family, and bring along a few other relatives along the way.Now he has nearly a hundred first-level ability promotion crystals and a similar number of first-level ability promotion fruits in his hand. It seems a lot, but after actually trying it, he found that it was far from enough.

At the beginning, Ye Mingze found the most numerous metal, wood, water, fire, earth and five elements supernatural powers, two people for each attribute, but the result was not very optimistic.The ten people selected are all at the peak of the first-level ability, but the number of crystals and fruits needed to advance is quite different, ranging from one to ten, and most people need about five.As a result, the promotion materials in Ye Mingze's hands are obviously insufficient. Roughly estimated, it is only enough for more than forty people, which is less than one-third of the Ye family's supernatural powers.

Ye Mingze thought at first that these supernatural power-up materials had attributes, but he found out that there was a transparent and colorless crystal and fruit that had no properties, and all supernatural beings could use them to level up.This is good news for those with rare abilities, and they are expected to advance in the future.It's just that compared to the corresponding attributes, the number of promotion abilities with non-attribute crystals and fruits is at least doubled.

Since it is impossible to distinguish who can advance by using one spar or fruit, and who may need to use ten to complete the promotion, Ye Mingze had to arrange the order according to the contribution of everyone to the Ye family.

There are quite a few supernatural promotion crystals and fruits, but there are less than ten sentinel guide promotion fruits. I don't know if it is enough for two people to use.Ye Mingze was the most capable sentry of the Ye family. In this situation, Ye Mingze was the top priority, and everyone in the Ye family raised their hands in favor.

Ye Mingze didn't refuse, the fruit is different crystals and needs to be taken as soon as possible.After lunch, he put aside his official duties for a while, stayed in a quiet room, and only focused on advancing.The fruit tastes luscious and melts in the mouth.Ye Mingze was busy absorbing the energy of the fruit, and didn't have time to enjoy its deliciousness.When the energy of a fruit is completely absorbed, you can know the approximate amount you need to take to advance.Ye Mingze felt that he still needed to take one or two fruit, but the results showed that his feeling was correct. When he took the second fruit, he was almost able to advance to the next level.

The moment of leveling up feels wonderful, as if the world is under control.Before Ye Mingze could feel it well, everything returned to normal.Ye Mingze's sentinel level has been stuck at the peak of the fourth level for a month or two, and he has been unable to break through for a long time.Thanks to Killer Whale No. [-] this time, otherwise, it would not be possible to advance to the next level in the Year of the Monkey.He originally thought that maybe his aptitude was not enough, but he didn't expect that it was because he needed to take a specific promotion fruit.

Ye Mingze still had seven fruits left in his hands, and it was Jiang Jingzhi's turn to be next.Not counting servants, only the two of them in the Ye family reached the peak of the fourth level.Like Ye Mingze, Jiang Jingzhi successfully advanced to the next level after using only two.Afterwards, Ye Mingze chose a pair of the most capable sentinel guides from the servants of the Ye family. They were lucky, and the five fruits successfully allowed them to break through the current level.

It seems that it is not easy for the fourth-level sentinel guide to break through. If there is no chance, it is very likely that he will be stuck at this level for the rest of his life.

The four relatives of the Ye family each got a few crystals, and it was agreed at the beginning that they could exchange those they didn't need with the Ye family.In this way, at least one person in each family has the ability to successfully promote to the second level.

The Ye family has no obligation to share their own supplies with others.Ye Mingze just told the village chief, the patriarch of the Ye clan, how to upgrade the ability and break through the fourth-level sentinel guide. As for how to obtain the promotion items, it was out of his consideration.

After the other Ye family villagers knew about this situation, they began to worry.These things are all obtained from the sea, so it is speculated that they should also be found in the mountains and forests.It's just that whether it's the mountains, forests or the sea, they are very dangerous, and they may die without a burial if they enter rashly.The problem is, if you don't take advantage of the low level of beasts and plants to obtain promotion items, it will be even more difficult to gain something when other species level up in the future.In addition, not only other creatures, but also human beings compete with each other.If other people are of a higher level than the people of Yejia Village, then Yejia Village will be in danger.At that time, will they not be slaughtered?No one wants to see this happen.

Do you want to enjoy a moment of peace now, and wait until the fate is in the hands of others, or risk your life now to work hard for a better life in the future?The villagers are very entangled, how to balance the two, there is no way to get the best of both worlds.If there is a third option, I believe the villagers will be willing to accept it.It's a pity that the reality is so cruel that you can only choose one of the two.

This matter will not be decided in a short while, and there is still a lot of time left for everyone to choose.

Soon, the autumn harvest will begin.Taking advantage of the time being not too busy, Ye Mingze brought many level [-] superhumans, level [-] sentinel guides and only four level [-] sentinel guides, ready to go into the mountain to try his luck.

It's not sure how long this trip will take. Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi have considered it comprehensively, and even brought a tent with them.The sentinel is in good physical condition, and it is no problem to carry dozens of catties on his back.Today's mountains and forests are extremely dangerous, and someone is likely to be injured on the way. Naturally, the Ye family's only healer needs to be brought with him.

Knowing that Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi were going on a long trip, the Jiang family was busy preparing their luggage.The fire source of the dry food kettle, the family members can't wait to let them bring the whole set of outfits.Of course, this is impossible. When entering the mountain, it is natural to travel lightly, and do not bring anything except what is necessary.After all, if you are lucky, you should carry heavy loads on the return journey, and the less things you bring with you, the better.

Amid the reluctance of his family, Ye Mingze took half of the masters of the Ye family and marched into the deep mountains.In order not to get lost in the mountains, Ye Mingze took all the leopards with him.This time Ye Mingze did not go to the back mountain side, they walked along the river that had already been diverted.After a short distance, Ye Mingze let the crowd disperse, ten people in each group, explored around, paying special attention to some stones of different colors.

Because this mountain forest is far away from Yejia Village, there are few people in it. At this time, apart from them, there is not even a ghost to be seen.The wild plants are full of vitality. Last year, more than half of the plants were sunburned to death. Only one year later, the forest has returned to life.There are knee-high weeds everywhere on the mountain, which grow well and are even taller than people.

In such an environment, Ye Mingze and his party were naturally not moving fast.Not only because of the obstruction of vegetation, but also because everyone has to be distracted to check the wild beasts and magic plants around them.Sentinels walk on the periphery, guides are escorted in the middle of the team, and the march is very orderly.

The outskirts of the forest are relatively safe, and there are not many wild beasts and magic plants encountered. Adhering to the principle of avoiding if you can, there are almost no battles.The further you go in, the more lush the vegetation is, and it is easier to hide dangers, so everyone is more careful.

With a "snap", a poisonous snake as thick as a thumb was nailed to a tree by a bow and arrow before it could open its mouth to bite.Yejia Village is located in the north, where the climate is cold, and there are not many snakes that can survive here. This is the first time Ye Mingze and his party have encountered it.Although this snake is small in size, it is very poisonous.Its color is very close to the brown of the bark, and it is not easy to spot if it is not moving.

Sentinels have keen five senses, and a small sound can attract their attention.As soon as this poisonous snake moved, it was shot and killed by a nearby sentinel, which was also considered bad luck.

The mountains and forests are rich in products, and many plants are unknown to Ye Mingze and his team. When they encounter some that have been eaten by animals, they pick a small amount and put them in the basket. After returning home, they will carefully identify whether they are suitable for human consumption.

Ye Mingze has the strongest ability and the most sensitive hearing. Suddenly his expression changed: "Stop, change direction, and go north."

As they changed direction, the "buzzing" sound that Ye Mingze heard just now did not decrease, but became louder and louder. He made a decisive decision: "Go at full speed, and pay attention to whether there are caves around." After speaking, he hugged Jiang Jingzhi , flew forward rapidly.Seeing this, the others followed suit, picked up their guides one after another, and ran forward.

In this way, the "hum" sound did not continue to increase, and even began to gradually decrease until it could no longer be heard.Everyone walked forward for a certain distance, thinking that they had avoided them, so they began to slow down.It's just that the imagination is beautiful, but the reality slapped them.Before everyone rested for a while, the annoying "buzzing" sound rang in their ears again.Being so persistent, it is estimated that they have special tracking skills, and it is a bit difficult to get rid of them.

Ye Mingze and his group had no choice but to continue running forward. This time they knew what was going on, and they didn't stop to rest after hearing no sound.After walking forward for a long time, it was only when everyone's stomachs started to growl that they found a cave.

The cave is very big, Ye Mingze asked people to find stones to block the entrance of the cave, leaving only a small gap.In case the swarm of flying insects are still lingering and are still chasing them, it is easier to kill them by letting a small part in.Why don't you block all the holes?According to their perseverance, it is possible to surround them for days and nights, but let Ye Mingze and the others sit in the cave and wait to die?

After running for such a long time, the sentries were all tired, and they all spread out on the ground, their throats were on fire, and they gulped down the boiled water they brought from home.The guides didn't make much effort, they were still very energetic, and now they had nothing to do, so they began to look around the cave.

The air in the cave is very fresh, it is estimated that there should be a place for ventilation inside.Sure enough, after careful observation, the guides found a gap on the westernmost mountain wall of the cave, only the size of an adult's palm.Jiang Jing looked up and saw that the gap was only narrow at the entrance, and the further you went in, the bigger the gap became.It is only more than one meter away from the entrance of the gap, and the width is enough for two adults to run side by side.Cave exploration has been put on hold for now because of those pesky flying insects.

Although the cave is big, it is bare and contains nothing.Everyone can only eat dry food with cold boiled water.I am used to eating hot soup and hot rice, these hard tortillas are really hard to swallow.Not to mention Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi, the others also looked bitter.There's no way, you don't have to pay so much attention when you're away from home.

Not long after everyone finished their lunch, the "buzzing" sound began to harass everyone present again.It sounds like the sound is close in front of you, but it is actually far away.Who made the sentinels develop their five senses and can hear sounds from far away.

"They're coming soon, everyone get ready." Ye Mingze got up to check the shelter at the entrance of the cave. He still doesn't know the size of the flying insects, so the gap left is very small, only as big as a thumb.Judging by the volume they make when they vibrate their wings when flying, it is estimated that they will not be too small.If it is only as big as a mosquito, then to produce such a big movement, it must be overwhelming to achieve this effect.

Sentinels are physically strong and are the best front row.The guide stood in the innermost part of the cave, setting up a barrier for his partner's sentry from a distance to enhance their abilities.

"They are coming! The supernatural beings attack." Ye Mingze looked at the unknown bees desperately crowding into the cave, and ordered decisively.

The gap is too small, and there are very few bees that can come in at the same time, not enough for several people to kill.It's just that after killing a batch, another batch will come in, endlessly.The bees that came in at the beginning had no abilities and were easy to kill.Later, each batch of bees was mixed with a few supernatural ones.Ye Mingze and his party had to be careful, so as not to be hurt by the supernatural power if they didn't pay attention.

By the time no more bees came in, a thick layer of bee corpses had been spread at the entrance of the cave.The "buzzing" sound outside the cave is still heard, but they are bigger than the gap, and they cannot enter the cave alive or alive.

In order to prevent future troubles, everyone cleared a passage.Looking out from the gap at the entrance of the cave, the largest bee was found to be as big as a baby's fist.Everyone had never seen such a big bee before, and they were all horrified.Despite the surprise, what has to be done has to be done.With the cooperation of several people, the original gap was first plugged with thin wooden strips, and then the gap as big as before was carefully expanded with a knife.When the new gap was expanded, everyone else retreated into the cave, and only one person was pressing the thin wooden strip at the entrance of the cave.

After everyone was settled properly, the last person quickly removed the wooden sticks and rushed back into the cave.Before he could get a firm foothold, the bees scrambled into the cave.Fortunately, the gap is only that big, thousands of people are crowded, and not much can be squeezed in at a time.Ye Mingze and his team had been prepared for a long time. When they squeezed into the cave and some of the big ones were still in a daze, they let go of their firepower.

To eliminate these bees, abilities are the most useful.They are too small, and they are a bit overkill for swords and swords, so they are quite weak to use, so they can only make up for some fish that slipped through the net.There are only about forty people with second-level abilities, and each ability is very precious and cannot be wasted easily.Ye Mingze divided the superhumans into many teams based on the approximate number of bees that came in each time.Once the team's turn is exhausted, other teams will take over.

For some reason, the bee stared at Ye Mingze and his party.With so many creatures outside the cave, they would inevitably encounter them during their flight. When everyone was running all the way, they didn't hear any screams.Seeing that they are so persistent, how could everyone let them go.

The bees are like offering sacrifices, one after another, fearless of death.The supernatural beings mechanically sent out fireballs, ice arrows, wind blades and the like, harvesting batch after batch of fearless bees.After the killing, everyone was numb to the killing.When the last bee died under the knife, many people have not yet recovered and are still exerting force against the air.It was not until the partner next to him reminded him that he resentfully stopped waving the weapon in his hand.

Ye Mingze stepped forward to check and found that there were indeed no traces of bees outside the cave, so he asked everyone to rest where they were.

In this attack, many people were injured.Whenever someone is injured, they will consciously retreat to the back and be looked after by Han Bin, a healer with supernatural powers.It is not easy for Ye Mingze to train a group of people. This time, they are all good players, and no one can sacrifice casually.Everyone has this awareness, life is not only their own, but also everyone in the Ye family.

There are too many injured people, Han Bin has limited healing abilities, and there are no items to supplement the abilities, so he can only heal the seriously injured first.By the end of the battle, there were still many minor injuries that could not be treated, and the accompanying doctors could only be bandaged with traditional methods.A few of the more unlucky ones were stung by bees, and a large area near the wound lost sensation, as if they were under local anesthesia.At the beginning, those people were panicked, for fear that the area around the wound would not obey their orders from now on, which would be very bad.As a result, before Han Bin could be treated, the feeling of numbness disappeared within a few minutes, leaving only a red and swollen wound.

Bee corpses piled up at the entrance of the cave, and Ye Mingze let the fire-type superpowers burn them all clean, and the crystals with various colors shone brightly under the fireball.

This time the harvest was good, and Ye Mingze even found a few second-level magic crystals in it—Ye Mingze called the crystals used to upgrade abilities magic crystals.It's a pity that everyone has just been promoted to a second-level ability user, and no one can use the second-level magic crystal.The number of first-level magic crystals is huge, at least several hundred.It's just that these magic crystals are obviously smaller than the ones Ye Mingze got last time, so it must cost more to upgrade their abilities.

The Ye family is a person with healing abilities, and the healing magic crystals obtained this time belong to Han Bin.It's just that he has been promoted to a second-level ability user, so I don't know if these first-level healing magic crystals can still come in handy.Han Bin tried to absorb it, and the energy in the magic crystal began to flow into his body.He was overjoyed, and couldn't hide the smile on his face until the magic crystal turned into powder and dissipated in the air.

"Young master, the first-level healing magic crystal can quickly replenish the consumed power. After absorbing the energy of the magic crystal just now, my healing power has recovered by one-third. It also has the effect of accelerating the recovery of the power. Now I The natural recovery speed is at least twice as fast as before." Han Bin was very excited. After the second-level power was exhausted, it would take several hours to recharge it again. Now that there is a magic crystal, there is no such trouble.

There were still many wounded waiting for him to deal with. Han Bin did not forget his duty and went to take care of the wounded after the report.

The effect of the first-level healing magic crystal is the same, presumably other magic crystals are also similar.Ye Mingze picked up one of the second-level wood magic crystals and asked Jiang Jingzhi to try to absorb it, but the magic crystal didn't move at all.He asked someone to try the other second-level magic crystals one by one, and the result was still the same.It seems that the second-level magic crystal can only be used when it is promoted.

Taking advantage of the rest time, Ye Mingze distributed the first-level magic crystals to those first-level abilities according to their attributes.The result was an unexpected surprise. When the wounded absorbed the magic crystal, the wound healing speed was twice as fast as usual.When all the first-level supernatural beings brought out by Ye Mingze have successfully advanced, Ye Mingze still has the remaining magic crystals in his hand.There are dozens of first-level abilities in the family, and it is a waste of these magic crystals to restore abilities.Now that he was not in a hurry, Ye Mingze asked everyone to rest where they were, and wait for the power to recover naturally.

Now that there is no need to worry about the future, after most people recovered their strength, Jiang Jingzhi took Ye Mingze to check the gaps in the cave.As far as the eye can see, the interior of the crack is getting bigger and bigger, and only the side close to the cave is very narrow.Ye Mingze called a few sentries to slash with knives together, and it didn't take long for the entrance of the crack to expand to the size of a person.

Ye Mingze walked in front, a fireball hung above the head of the fire-type supernatural being, illuminating the passage brightly.The passage is not damp at all, both sides are full of stone walls, clean, not even moss.Not long after, everyone entered another cave.There is a spring in the second cave, Ye Mingze tried it with his hands, it was a cold spring.

The passage did not reach the end, and everyone continued to walk forward, going deeper and deeper, until a light suddenly appeared in front of them.What caught everyone's eyes was an open valley.The valley was surrounded by high mountains, and the passage they came in was the only way out.In the valley, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and the temperature is much higher than outside.

Ye Mingze didn't bring many people with him for this operation. Seeing that it was getting late, he didn't take any risks and took them back the same way.When they returned to the original cave, it was time for dinner.The left-behind personnel have already prepared enough firewood, but they have not yet found a water source, so they can only use the boiled water they brought from home.

After Ye Mingze and the others found out, they sent people to fetch water from the cave inside.Drinking hot wild vegetable broth and eating soft corn tortillas, these things can still be eaten in the wilderness, everyone is very satisfied.

Everyone wanted to rest early after a day of hard work, so tents were set up in the cave.The temperature is very low at night, and it is easy to catch cold without a quilt.Fortunately, everyone was prepared, and each carried a quilt.Because the quilt takes up too much space, it was tied tightly with a rope before going out.Because of this, the comforter doesn't become a drag during the morning run.

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi used a two-person tent, which was very small and suitable for them.There are two quilts, one as a mattress and the other as a cover.Maybe it was really tired, the two cuddled together, lying in the warm and comfortable quilt, and soon entered the dreamland.The cave suddenly became very quiet, except for the night guards who stood guard by the crackling fire.

A good night's sleep.Early the next morning, the person in charge of breakfast started to get busy.In order not to wake up other people, those who got up all moved lightly, handling prey and cooking in the second cave.

Ye Mingze was very alert and woke up very early.He lay lazily on the quilt, enjoying a moment of warmth.

"Are you awake? Let's get up then. When we finish washing, we'll be in time for breakfast." Ye Mingze changed his laziness just now and quickly finished dressing.

"What's your plan today, go to the valley you discovered yesterday?" Jiang Jingzhi also didn't hesitate, and packed it up in a few strokes.

"Well, that place has a special climate, maybe there are some special products." Now that they have discovered it, there is no reason to pass Baoshan and not enter.

For the convenience of use, except for the pot, other tableware are made of bamboo.These are easy to do, and you don't feel bad if you drop them.Breakfast is very simple, the same as last night, it's all corn tortillas and wild vegetable broth.Everyone drank the soup and ate the cakes in a sporadic manner, which seemed to have a special flavor.

After the meal, everyone set off for the valley except for some wounded who were not yet fully recovered.For the safety of those left behind, before leaving, the entrance of the cave was blocked again with stones.

The passage was very long, and it still took less than half an hour for everyone to let go of their pace.
