Wang Lu stroked the large cat beside her, looked at the survival road behind her, and continued speaking.

"Three years."

"Hundreds of millions of people have entered the Nightmare Land, struggling on the road to survival."

"Although most people die, there are always some strong or lucky ones who survive. They have formed a special way of survival on the road to survival. They travel between cities like nomads in the form of survivor teams, surviving by collecting resources from the cities and barely maintaining a balance."

"Especially those powerful survivor teams with S-rank ranks, they have even begun to adapt to the Nightmare Land and start forming teams of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands."

"But just three months ago, the Black Tide suddenly erupted, and numerous human cities began to descend upon the Nightmare Land. Within these cities, even higher-level and more terrifying monsters emerged!"

"Even the eerie things that had been dormant in the mist began to slowly awaken."

"And those cities that arrived earliest are also starting to disappear recently, turning into crossroads."

As Wang Lu spoke, a hint of sadness appeared on her face.

"It is precisely because of this change that the strongest human beings are now trying to build a city of hope."

After listening, Zheng Sheng also fell silent.

After a long while, he suddenly looked at Wang Lu and asked a question he had wanted to ask for a long time.

"In this world where the supernatural is so powerful, can a city of hope truly be built for humanity?"

Wang Lu shook her head; she didn't know, or rather, she dared not know.

"Maybe."

Upon hearing Wang Lu's uncertain answer, Fang Ting and Tang Yanyan, who were standing nearby, both sighed, their faces becoming even more pessimistic.

Zheng Sheng fell silent again, but he quickly perked up.

"Stop thinking about it, it's no use!"

"Since those high-level S-rank powerhouses dare to build a city, they must have something to rely on. Instead of letting our imaginations run wild here, we should go and see for ourselves."

Zheng Sheng stood up, his eyes becoming even more determined.

Whether it's the eruption of the black tide, the eerie resurgence, the disappearance of the city, or the city of hope...

Instead of thinking about these messy things, you should focus on improving your own abilities.

He has his own stat allocation system; as long as he keeps gaining survival points, he can keep getting stronger!

When the time comes, we won't care about any demons or monsters; we'll just kill them!

"Fang Ting, Maomao just joined the team and isn't familiar with it yet. If we're short on supplies or food, go find Zhang Qing and make sure she gets them."

As Zheng Sheng spoke, he looked at Tang Yanyan again.

"You two are about the same age, so you can chat more and learn more about the Survival Highway."

After settling Wang Lu in, Zheng Sheng quickly returned to the main group, found Luo Hao and Wang Dali, and called Zhang Mu, Uncle Niu, and Kong Hai over for a short meeting.

"Fatty, how many of your belongings do you still have?" Zheng Sheng asked.

"There's not much left; we can only hold on for two or three more days at most."

"Two days? Then make all of them into witch's porridge today, give everyone a bowl, so that everyone can recover their strength tonight."

"Wang Dali, you too. There's plenty of food today. Let them all eat their fill!"

Everyone looked puzzled when Zheng Sheng said that.

Food is extremely precious in the apocalypse, and we've been saving every penny we can. Why has Zheng Sheng suddenly changed his attitude today?

Kukai asked worriedly, "Captain Zheng, if there are no belongings, what will we do about food? We don't know when we'll reach the next city. Without food, these people probably won't last more than a few days..."

"We've already passed through the next city," Zheng Sheng suddenly interrupted Kong Hai.

"You've already passed through the next city?" Everyone was taken aback.

Zheng Sheng quickly relayed Wang Lu's words.

"The crossroads we passed last time was actually the next city... but it has already been swallowed up by this world... the entire city is now shrouded in mist..."

"And that intersection is the last trace left by the city."

Upon hearing this, everyone present froze in place. They had always assumed that human cities would exist forever, but they hadn't expected this.

"Captain, doesn't this mean we'll have to travel for another month before we reach the next city to collect supplies?"

"Not bad." Zheng Sheng looked at Grandpa Niu, nodded, and then said, "Of course, it's also possible that we'll encounter another crossroads after walking for more than a month!"

Upon hearing Zheng Sheng's guess, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. The already bizarre and dangerous situation was now even more serious due to the food problem.

This messed up world, is it even possible for humans to live here?!

Zheng Sheng looked at everyone and reassured them, "I was just saying maybe. The chances of encountering an intersection again next time are probably not high."

"However, we should also plan ahead and prepare in advance, even if the probability is very low."

"Therefore, I've decided to venture deep into this eerie forest tomorrow to gather supplies!"

Zheng Sheng looked around at everyone and continued seriously:

"According to the intelligence I just received, although the appearance of such special forests on the survival highway is rare, it is not an isolated case. They are special areas similar to human cities."

"However, unlike human cities, this is a 'city' of plants and animals... There may be many mutated plants and animals inside, making it very dangerous... Of course, there may also be some special and eerie things..."

"Our goal is to collect as many supplies as possible inside..."

The team meeting lasted for half an hour. After it ended, Zheng Sheng kept Zhang Mu behind and asked him to temporarily manage the team the next day.

"Zhang Mu, there are just too many people in the team. If there's no one to divide the team into groups and manage it, we'll just be a disorganized mess when we're collecting supplies tomorrow. So we need someone to take charge."

"I'll temporarily hand over command of the team tomorrow. Don't let me down."

Zhang Mu was somewhat surprised, but still nodded solemnly, "I understand, Captain Zheng."

Zheng Sheng originally wanted Grandpa Niu to take charge, since Grandpa Niu had served in the army before. However, Grandpa Niu has recently become very involved with the three aunts, and they are currently having a passionate love quadrangle. He is simply unable to do anything about it.

Kukai and Kindouji wouldn't work either. Kindouji is too much of a saint and not rational enough; such a person is the least suitable for leading a team. As for Kukai, although he's good, I'm always a little uneasy about him.

On the contrary, Zhang Mu was very suitable, and the hundred people who followed him were managed very well by him.

"Captain Zheng, I have something else to report to you." Zhang Mu looked at Zheng Sheng and suddenly said. He waved to the distance, and soon seven or eight teenagers and six dark-skinned men came to Zheng Sheng.

"You gave us three cultivation manuals last time, and I selected a group of people to study them. Recently, some people have already begun to grasp the basics."

"Huh? It's only been a few days, and you've already mastered the basics?" Zheng Sheng was somewhat surprised.

He looked at the group of people in front of him. There were seven or eight teenagers with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and shiny black hair. They had obviously practiced the "Boyhood Kung Fu".

The other few dark-skinned men must have learned the Iron Shirt and Golden Bell techniques.

"Hmm, the probability of successfully cultivating is higher than I imagined."
