Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

The most valuable items this time were the two spatial cores. Although they weren't large, they were filled with supplies, including food, drinks, and other necessities, as well as some special metal materials. It seems the other side also has mechanics.

Zhang Dapeng examined the special metal, saying, "These days, it's one thing for humans and animals to mutate, but even metals mutate. What isn't going to mutate these days?"

He said he wanted to melt down these special metals to reinforce the small castle.

No one had any objections to this.

Zhang Dapeng then went off to work again, turning around and heading back to the basement.

The outdoor temperature is still very high.

Everyone came back from the fight covered in sweat, so they all went back to their rooms to take a shower.

Lin Shuangshuang silently followed Huo Ling, step by step, glancing out the window as she walked, watching the mutated little animals outside die from the sun as they walked.

Terrible.

Huo Ling glanced at her, then closed the curtains on the window that wasn't drawn. "Aren't you afraid of getting your eyes burned? You're not wearing goggles right now."

Lin Shuangshuang chuckled, knowing he was worried about her, so she stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and took the elevator with him to the fourth floor.

The two of them washed together as usual.

Huo Ling said to her, "You're getting more and more skilled now? Aren't you ashamed at all?"

As he said this, he wasn't ashamed at all and turned around to take off his clothes.

Lin Shuangshuang blinked and said righteously, "If you're still shy, you're doomed."

That proves that even though she's talked to him about it, they haven't done it yet, which is pretty scary.

Huo Ling was amused by her and couldn't suppress his smile. He still helped her wash her hair, wipe her back, and rinse her clean before sending her outside to rest.

It saves us from spending most of the day on hassle.

Lin Shuangshuang didn't really want to leave. She originally wanted to watch him take a shower, but when Huo Ling gave her a look, she realized something was wrong and left.

Although she quite enjoyed that kind of thing, life isn't just about that.

Let's take it easy.

Lin Shuangshuang felt a little tired at this moment, so she lay on the bed in a daze. She was so bored that she condensed the moisture on her body into a water ball and played with it, controlling it to fly around and then turn into water streams that swirled in the air.

When Huo Ling came out, he saw her looking bored. "What are you playing?"

Lin Shuangshuang scattered the water balloon, letting it disappear into the air, and obediently replied, "I didn't play anything."

He came out after taking a shower.

She won't be bored anymore.

Huo Ling sat on the edge of the bed, and Lin Shuangshuang nestled against his back, pressing close to him. "Are we heading north to the Northern Base?"

She was just curious.

Huo Ling looked down at the route; they had already entered the Central Plains region. "Going north doesn't necessarily mean going to the base. It depends on the situation. Do you want to go?"

Lin Shuangshuang shook her head, "I'm fine with anything, I'll be wherever you are."

Huo Ling was softened by her coaxing, so he pulled her over and hugged her from the front, resting his chin on her head. Then he reviewed the route map, "We are now far from the coastal area, but the tsunami is coming soon. At that time, the Central Plains area may become the new coastal area. It is not advisable to stay here for long."

Their final destination is the northwest. They will find a suitable and secluded place there to keep the little castle there for a long time.

I'll occasionally go out to do some missions, but I won't accept missions that are too far away in the future.

Lin Shuangshuang understood after listening. She looked at the memo in front of her. Originally, their little castle was supposed to go to the north, but because of the mission, they kept going back and forth in the coastal area.

Then an extreme heatwave hit, catching them completely off guard. They should have known better than to accept the mission here and go directly to the north.

It's not worth wasting so much time.

Now that the extreme heat has arrived, wildfires are raging everywhere, successfully tripping us up.

The speed of movement is very slow.

The probability of encountering people will increase on the next leg of the journey, because everyone is taking the same route, and Huo Ling can't avoid them even if he wants to. There will be people on every route, and as someone who doesn't like socializing, he said his mood was so-so.

Lin Shuangshuang hugged him and comforted him. After being coaxed by her, Huo Ling felt much better. After the two made up, their mentality became very stable, and they especially cherished the present situation.

"Is there really an apple orchard a kilometer away? What season is it now? How come there are apples? Are these apples really edible? Is it for real?"

Lorna expressed disbelief.

Gao Lei said, "It should be a mutated fruit tree forest, just like Brother Xiaotian's village, right?"

After taking a shower, everyone gathered in the living room on the first floor and found a place to sit.

"Whether they're edible or not, we'll pick one or two when we get here and have Lao Zhao check them." Huo Ling remained seated on the single sofa, with Lin Shuangshuang squeezed next to him.

Wu Zhe rubbed his hands together excitedly, saying, "If only this were edible! We could collect more fruit and fill up those two spatial cores!"

Lorna reminded her, "This spatial alien core will definitely prioritize storing water! Fruit can be stored in our warehouse, but water can't be stored without containers."

Therefore, it's best to use a spatial heteronuclear core to store water; having more water makes you feel more at ease.

Everyone agreed.

Wu Zhe scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "I almost forgot about that, I was so focused on the apples."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Gao Lei and Luo Na also patted Wu Zhe's head and called him "silly little brother".

Water resources are indeed very important.

Huo Ling said, "If the current water is recycled, it will be enough for the few of us."

Lin Shuangshuang knew this was called recycled water. Although it wasn't as good as the water outside, it could at least ensure that they wouldn't die of thirst.

Luo Na and the others still said that the more the better, and that they should save as many as possible.

"It's not that I'm greedy, it's just that if we don't collect it, it will evaporate in the extreme heat! That's such a waste, let's save it up."

"That's right, the weather outside is like a volcano right now, it's outrageous."

"I need a small glass of sweet water to calm my nerves, anyone want one? I'm so thirsty."

After asking around, everyone said they wanted it, so he went to the warehouse to get it.

The warehouses are now fully stocked, which is much more reassuring than before when they were empty. The vegetables and fruits on the top floor are ready for harvest, and they are currently self-sufficient.

Lin Shuangshuang counted on her fingers, "We can be self-sufficient in fruits and vegetables, and the water recycling system is barely usable. Now we're just lacking daily necessities and meat."

Daily necessities can only be obtained by exchanging points with the official channels, since it's impossible for just a few people to build so many factories; there's no way around it.

Meat can be hunted; last time, one mutated pig was enough to feed them for a long time. The difference is that later mutated animals may become increasingly ugly because they will continue to evolve. Extreme disasters will make their appearances bizarre and strange, making them hard to eat after seeing them.

But now we don't have much choice. It's good enough to have meat to eat. Ensuring nutrition is more important.

After summarizing.

They all agreed that the little castle was really awesome, and that even if they lived alone, their team could live comfortably for several years.
