That's amazing survival skills!

A surge of heat was generated within the body, rapidly flowing to every part of the body, in a time that lasted no more than three seconds.

Lin Yuan felt as if she were soaking in a bathtub filled with hot water; it didn't hurt, and it felt very comfortable.

It felt as if something inside the body was slowly being released from its restraints.

A semi-transparent screen shot out and hovered in front of him.

[Talent activation in progress... Activation successful.]

[Talent Name: Planter]

[Talent Grade: Unknown.]

[Originating from the deepest memories of our blood, somewhat complex, it seems to be the yearning of billions: to eliminate hunger and prevent anyone from dying of starvation.]

Your talent for farming is a gift from millions; may there be no more hunger in the world.

[Effect: Your planting time is reduced by 5% (increases with strength), and you might be able to grow some unique items, which will be invaluable to you.]

[Passive Effect: You will possess a piece of land (the size of the land increases based on your strength)]

Looking at the information on the panel, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I couldn't help but think of the history I've learned over the years; every rebellion was because people couldn't survive.

Why can't they survive?

The annexation of land between dynasties is an unavoidable topic!

Is the intention to give him a piece of land so that he can be self-sufficient?

But what about Han Miao, Gu Siyu, and Wang Xi?

"How is it?" Gu Siyu asked.

She was extremely nervous about this so-called awakening of talent, as it concerned their very survival.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and outlined the options visible to others on the panel. With a light tap of his finger, the panel flipped in the opposite direction.

The three women quickly approached, saw the contents of the panel, and began to read them carefully.

As each word came into view, the initial anticipation and excitement inevitably turned into disappointment.

Farming might be a good talent, but it's not the talent they most want to have right now.

After all, in their view, this talent might be somewhat useful in the early stages, but it becomes completely useless in the mid-to-late stages.

Not only do they not provide much combat power, but the grain they grow is not matched by a strong enough military force, so they can only become someone else's granary.

"Sigh, I should have given it to me. What a waste of that precious initial opportunity." Han Miao muttered, curling up and hugging her knees tightly, burying her face in them.

"Your talent... is alright, I guess," Gu Siyu said, still somewhat regretful.

If they can grow food, they can solve their hunger problem, so they are not too useless.

"But we don't have any seeds," Wang Xi couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea.

Silence fell over the carriage again, the atmosphere tinged with melancholy.

The numbers on the red digital clock continued to tick.

The cold, mechanical groan sounded again.

[The subway is about to arrive at the first station in half a minute. Please prepare to disembark.]

Good luck to you!

The numbers on the red clock began to jump continuously.

"Alright, stop being so discouraged." Lin Yuan stood up and walked towards the car door, saying, "What's done is done. Now all we need to do is try to live on. Being discouraged won't change anything."

Han Miao raised her head, her eyes red and her lips pouting, but she didn't say anything hurtful as before.

As he said, it's a fait accompli, and no amount of complaining can change it.

There is no such thing as knowing beforehand.

Wang Xi patted her cheeks, making a slapping sound, and her cheeks were immediately covered with "blush." ​​She took a deep breath, stood up, and nodded.

Gu Siyu didn't say anything, but silently stood up.

As the numbers on the digital clock all returned to zero, the four people could clearly feel the train shudder for a moment, and the doors with obvious weld marks slowly opened.

The sky outside was gray and hazy, unlike normal weather. The sun had already set in the west, and the moon had climbed into the sky, but it was obscured by a thin layer of clouds. The moonlight that fell was barely enough to make out the distance.

As the man who had enjoyed the benefits, Lin Yuan was the first to step out of the car and turn around.

The so-called subway is just four pieces of iron forcibly welded together. There are no windows, and there are no suspended rails underfoot. The entire subway quietly floats in the air, about five centimeters above the ground.

The carriages were very ordinary, not at all like products from high latitudes, but more like a piece of work welded by a folk blacksmith for practice.

The most significant issue is that the subway lacks any identification markings.

"What the hell is this place?" Han Miao exclaimed in surprise as he got out of the car.

A winding cement road stretches forward, lined with houses and shops on both sides. There aren't many of them, and you can see them all at a glance.

The road surface cracked, and green grass, symbolizing vitality, sprouted and grew from the cracks.

The town ahead was horribly deserted, with no movement whatsoever except the sound of the wind blowing through the air.

"This isn't Earth at all." Wang Xi looked around the so-called subway after getting off the train.

She had previously been researching maglev projects, but the projects were shut down because of the large investment and the fact that they were not as convenient as conventional subways. That's how she joined the company.

Given the current situation, the seemingly simple carriage, devoid of any aesthetic value, can float quietly, something that is simply beyond the capabilities of current Earth technology!

The four of them walked toward the town.

As we approached, we noticed that the mall's sign had fallen to the ground, with some parts still hanging there, swaying in the wind. Scattered glass shards and peeling paint marked the area, indicating that the place had been uninhabited for a long time.

The wind blew in through the broken window, and it also blew out through the broken window.

There were no human footsteps, nor any other sounds.

Just as the mechanical girl said, it was an abandoned town.

"I'll go in and scout ahead first."

Lin Yuan said, moving forward while keeping an eye on the direction of the nearest glass shards.

There are no antibiotics or doctors here. If a shard of glass really gets stuck in your foot, inflammation and infection are inevitable.

They now truly have nothing but the clothes they brought with them.

The consequences of infection range from losing the ability to fight and explore to becoming a corpse.

The three women quietly watched Lin Yuan move forward, nimbly dodging obstacles, pushing open the old door, and slipping inside.

The room was dark, but fortunately the moonlight overhead was strong enough to see through the gaps and make it possible to make out some of the scene.

Thick layers of dust piled up, and Lin Yuan tried to slow her pace as much as possible, but she still stirred up some dust, so she had to cover her mouth and nose.

The furniture inside the house had long since broken apart over time; those that remained intact were reduced to ashes at the slightest touch.

Fortunately, there was a short steel rod in the corner, its surface already covered with rust, which could be considered a kind of gain.

[One scrap steel rod, should I add it to my equipment inventory?]

"yes!"

After searching for a while without finding anything else useful, I went to the door, took out the steel pipe from my equipment inventory, and found that the rust on it had disappeared.

"Could this be my cheat code?"

Lin Yuan gripped the smooth steel pipe, and couldn't help but wonder if this cheat was a bit too useless.

"What are you still standing there for? Have you made any other discoveries?" Han Miao shouted, cupping his hands like a megaphone.

The three women stood outside the door and, seeing the smoke and dust inside, instinctively took two steps back. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Yuan reappear at the door.

In this unfamiliar and strange place, the presence of a man ultimately gave them some peace of mind.

Although they were very reluctant to admit it.

Brushing away the shards of glass, Lin Yuan pointed to the steel pipe in his hand and shook his head, saying, "Just this. I didn't find anything else."

"Is this all?" Gu Siyu frowned.

Right now, what they need most is food and water. Although weapons are also in short supply, they are far less important than food and water!

Lin Yuan naturally knew what she needed most right now.

The town isn't very big. By the moonlight, it's about 200 meters long from the main road, and there are only about 20 houses on both sides of the road.

"We've solved our basic weaponry problem, but food and water are still the most scarce resources," Lin Yuan said, pointing to the fairly symmetrical layout on both sides. "The subway stops for only five hours, which seems like a long time, but it's not actually that long. However, we don't have a timer, so we don't know how much time has passed. Searching alone is too slow."

"So, we need to split into two teams," Gu Siyu said, looking at Wang Xi beside her. "You and Han Miao will be one team, and Wang Xi and I will be the other. We'll search as quickly as possible and then return to the carriage, right?"

Lin Yuan nodded and handed the weapon to Gu Siyu.

"Let's begin then."

Although it was getting dark, I was a little unfamiliar with the game at first, but after a couple of tries, I started to get the hang of it.

Instead of gently pushing the door open, they kicked it open directly.

They were just short of shouting it out.

Open the door! Check the water meter!

The cold, mechanical voice truly lived up to its claim of extremely low danger, but correspondingly, resource acquisition was also exceptionally scarce.

Inside the train carriage.

"I have three loaves of bread and two bottles of water here," Gu Siyu said, taking out what she was holding. "And a steel pipe."

Han Miao placed the items on the ground. "I have five bottles of water and three pieces of bread here. I didn't find any weapons."

"That's all we have." Wang Xi frowned as she looked at the six loaves of bread and seven bottles of water laid out on the cold ground. "In this situation, it's going to be very difficult to survive."

The doors closed slowly, and the subway shuddered for a moment before beginning to move forward slowly.

"Let's leave it at that for now." Gu Siyu handed out a piece of bread and some water to everyone. "Fill your stomachs first, and then we'll see what the next stop is before making a decision."

Today you explored an abandoned town, finding six loaves of bread, seven bottles of water, and a basic weapon, a steel pipe. Overall rating: 5 points.

[Reward: Ten loaves of bread, eleven bottles of water, and a fire axe.]
