The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.

"This... what huge prey! This bear! This turtle! They must weigh over a thousand pounds! It's terrifying!" Someone stared in disbelief at the prey that hadn't yet been processed in their home.

"Is this really my home? Am I sure I haven't been teleported to some weird place? Unbelievable! How many expansion cards did they use?!" Someone looked around blankly, unable to believe that this place, which was over a hundred meters long and wide, was actually an expanded home.

"What is that thing? A wolf's head and a human body? Have all the monsters in the rainforest mutated into this form?!"

"Look, look! That girl with light green skin... she can't be human, can she?!"

"My God! This is the legendary Spark! It feels like we're from a completely different world!"

"I'm a little curious about what Jiang Fan looks like in person. Is he handsome...?"

"I don't know if he's handsome, but he's definitely a formidable fighter!"

"Isn't it said that development here is slower...? Why does it feel like it's much more advanced than our area? At least I haven't seen a teleportation array downstairs from Tang Qingyu..."

After the group of newcomers entered the community, they couldn't help but start chattering away. Their anxiety and unease from the journey vanished completely upon seeing the magnificent scene before them.

All that remained was the determination to "stay."

The Spark staff who were distributing porridge in the canteen told them that as long as they were willing to work hard, they could have enough to eat.

The fact that they were able to rush over immediately after receiving the news shows that they had already made the necessary preparations.

Seeing the magnificent scene before them, their hearts were filled with even more anticipation.

What are our expectations for the future and for hope?

Ding Rui had already arranged for people to wait for these people here and lead them to their pre-prepared accommodations.

The dormitory rooms vacated by the permanent residents who moved into the apartment building were just right for these newcomers to temporarily move in.

If you don't want to sleep in the dormitories without beds, you can temporarily sleep on the floor in the meat drying room in your home.

After the evening settlement, with the new expansion card, once Jiang Fan puts down the [Green Building Card - Level 1 Residential Building] he previously obtained, new empty rooms will naturally appear for people to move into.

As for the bed, with the carpentry shed and a continuous supply of wood, building one yourself is just a matter of time.

It's worth mentioning that when the "old folks" in Jiang Fan's community saw the "newcomers" who were making a fuss, they quickly suppressed their previous heated discussion.

Instead, they all wore Versailles-like expressions that said things like, "This is normal," "You guys have never seen these before?" and "How strange, your East Campus doesn't have these things, does it?"

It seemed that they weren't the ones who were shocked by the prey and alien race that Jiang Fan had brought back earlier.

Meanwhile, Ding Hang, who had recovered, brought a large bowl of stewed wild vegetables and meat and a bottle of liquor to the graves surrounding the dormitory area.

There are already twelve graves of varying sizes here, all belonging to West Campus students who died after time travel.

There are still bodies left here.

Many more people disappeared silently into the rainforest, leaving no bodies behind.

Among these graves are those of seven newly deceased members of the hunting team, including Zheng Xiuyuan.

Originally, there were only five graves here. Although the number of dead was not small, it was a very small proportion compared to the overall size of the West Campus, which had more than 300 students.

After all, the number of students at the East Campus is disappearing at a rate of 2% to 3% per day.

On the west campus, under the protection of Jiang Fan and Xinghuo, only about four percent of the people died after four days.

However, the deaths of seven members of the hunting team this time instantly leveled the gap between the two sides, demonstrating the magnitude of the loss.

Fortunately, Jiang Fan had previously recruited new people through the Five Directions Division and the canteen; otherwise, Xinghuo's front-line combat strength would be severely insufficient.

Arriving at Zheng Xiuyuan's grave, Ding Hang plopped down on the ground.

He didn't care about the dirt on the ground, and ate his food heartily while chatting with Zheng Xiuyuan.

"Old Zheng, I've recovered and come to see you..."

A mouthful of meat, a mouthful of wine.

Take a sip, then pour it out.

As he ate and drank, Ding Hang's tears began to fall.

Zheng Xiuyuan was trying to save him when the werewolf ripped out his heart with a single claw, killing him instantly.

He didn't understand why this was happening.

The two didn't have much interaction, nor did they have a deep emotional connection.

But ironically, the other person lost their life trying to save him.

Perhaps Zheng Xiuyuan didn't think that much at the time, or perhaps it was just a subconscious action.

But in any case, Zheng Xiuyuan died to save himself!

He didn't even leave a last word!

Ding Hang's "Dubai-style" drinking method of taking a sip and then spitting it out has truly surprised many newcomers who came from the East Campus.

Not to mention that liquor is currently a rare and precious commodity.

In this kind of environment, what normal person would be willing to commemorate the deceased in this way?

Among the newcomers were "new laborers" recruited by the canteen, as well as "alternate hunting team members" recruited by the Five Directions Division.

The latter is different from the former.

They didn't join the spark simply to have enough to eat.

Rather, it's about surviving better and pursuing better development.

They weren't entirely unable to survive on the East Campus, so they brought more things and supplies with them when they arrived.

In order to join Spark, they even gave up some of the home buildings they had already built there.

This is why they wasted even more time.

This is why they seem to have "arrived late" compared to the new recruits "recruited" from the cafeteria.

After eating and drinking his fill, Ding Hang took out a Hongtashan cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and started smoking.

This batch was acquired from Wang Youfu's garage. Jiang Fan, Lin Feng, and the others don't smoke, so they simply gave most of it to him.

After finishing one cigarette, Ding Hang took out three more from the cigarette pack.

After lighting the cigarettes with a lighter, he respectfully bowed three times before the graves of Zheng Xiuyuan and others, stuck the three cigarettes into the soil in front of the graves, patted the mud off his buttocks, and turned to leave.

The dead are gone, but the living must live their lives well!

In the current environment, there isn't much time for him to mourn the deceased or grieve over the past.

Just like Jiang Fan and Ji Ran, weren't they saddened and grieved by Lao Zheng's death?

In his view, that was completely impossible!

But people must look forward, otherwise the first people they will let down are those who died fighting for them!

Upon returning home, Ding Hang immediately sought out Ji Ran and the others to help dispose of the giant tortoise's carcass, cutting its flesh into pieces and sending it to the ice cellar.

This was Jiang Fan's arrangement.

Freeze the meat before you're sure it's safe.

If it cannot be eaten, it can be used as bait for hunting, as a bargaining chip in trade, as fertilizer for crops, or as feed for animals, etc.

One could even consider exchanging suitable supplies through the mutual market.

Anyway, at most, this stuff will cause diarrhea or illness after eating it; it shouldn't kill anyone.

Not long after, having absorbed thirteen new crystal cores, Jiang Fan, whose Heavenly Cloud Vine Thunder attribute had evolved to six and a half stars, went downstairs.

As soon as he stepped out of the apartment building, he saw a group of people gathered around Freya, marveling at her.

"This is incredible! It can even catalyze plant growth—is this some kind of innate farming physique?!"
