Hearing this sound, Ye Feng immediately snapped back to reality, as it was the sound of the [Shop] refreshing.
[Su Fei Sanitary Napkins x2, Survival Coins 40]
[Chubby Small Bread x4, Survival Coins 60]
[Rice x1, Survival Coins 20]
[Beef Jerky x1, Survival Coins 40]
[Infrared Motion Detector x1, Survival Coins 150]
Ye Feng swept his gaze over the items and his eyes landed on the last supply slot: the infrared motion detector! This was precisely what he needed, as he had been contemplating how to sleep soundly at night without a cabin.
As for the Su Fei sanitary napkins, Ye Feng had given up being annoyed. Those things refreshed every day, without fail.
"Infrared motion detector, thermal imaging technology, detection range 50 meters, capable of identifying moving objects and alarming, supports custom alarm conditions..."
After reading the description of the infrared motion detector, Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh. This was exactly what he needed most! Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Feng was the first to purchase the infrared motion detector.
Afterward, Ye Feng also bought 2 Su Fei sanitary napkins, 1 bag of rice, and 1 packet of beef jerky. He didn't buy the Chubby Small Bread because his 250 Survival Coins were spent, and he didn't have enough for anything else.
After a simple breakfast, Ye Feng embarked on his journey once more.
...
Four days later,
"How big is this forest, anyway?"
Standing on the crown of a large tree, Ye Feng gazed around for a long time and felt a pang of frustration. For the past four days, he had been heading straight south, even on his bike, but he hadn't managed to exit this snow-covered great forest. The only noticeable change was that the climate had become slightly warmer!
"Alright, I'll eat lunch and keep moving."
With no better ideas, Ye Feng climbed down the tree and began to build a fire to cook. In the past few days, Ye Feng had acquired more supplies, and the weather was quite cold, so he decided to cook himself some salted pork congee.
While eating, Ye Feng checked the [Regional Chat Channel].
"Help! This heavy snow has blocked the mountain, I can't find any food, and it's hard to get firewood. I'm going to die!"
"Seeking shelter and warmth, I can warm your bed!"
"Warm your ghost! Do you have a bed in your wooden cabin? It's just a pile of planks, hard as hell!"
"You're not wrong, I saw someone in the [World Channel] with a stone house for their shelter. It seems they upgraded their wooden cabin!"
"I saw it too! Someone has a cave for their shelter!"
...
"Speaking of which, the great Zhang San hasn't appeared for a while. Did he die?"
"What are you talking about upstairs?"
"Great Zhang San, where are you? I'm a cute girl, I've transmigrated wearing a JK uniform and stockings. Give me food and water, and you can do whatever you want!"
"I... I wasn't wearing anything when I transmigrated while sleeping... I... I can too..."
"Sob sob sob~ I... I transmigrated while taking a bath..."
"Um, great Zhang San, can you not be so rigid about gender...?"
...
Perhaps it was because they had been away from modern society for too long, but unconsciously, many people's minds had begun to change. Once someone started, many others followed, seeking favors from Ye Feng, with some of their words being almost explicit, all for the sake of survival...
Across the screen, Ye Feng seemed to feel the struggle, even a hint of madness, behind these people's joking words. Seeing this, Ye Feng frowned, his expression grave! He believed that many people had already realized that returning to their original society was impossible, and in this post-apocalyptic environment, the basest aspects of human nature would be exposed. The person who had previously tried to probe his location was likely not well-intentioned. It was foreseeable that without the constraints of modern society's laws and morals, the darkest side of human nature would gradually awaken...
"I need to get stronger quickly!" Ye Feng knew very well that in this post-apocalyptic environment, only by becoming strong oneself could one guarantee survival!
...
After lunch, Ye Feng opened the [Personal Information] panel to check his status.
[Name: Ye Feng]
[Strength: 19 (Normal person is 8)]
[Agility: 18 (Normal person is 8)]
[Intelligence: ?]
[Available Points: 30]
In the past few days, Ye Feng had killed several more mutated creatures and gained 9 available points. However, he hadn't allocated them, choosing to save them because he hadn't encountered any particularly significant dangers for the time being. More importantly, it would cost 100 available points to upgrade the [Shop] to the next level!
"Hoo~" Ye Feng took a deep breath, packed his things, mounted his KTM 450 EXC, and continued on his way.
...
As evening approached, Ye Feng felt a bit discouraged because he was still in the forest and hadn't found a way out. Moreover, there was a lot of fog in the vicinity, severely limiting visibility. Thus, Ye Feng had to slow down and drive forward slowly. As the fog thickened, he eventually got off and pushed the motorcycle forward.
"Ah! Damn it!"
Suddenly, Ye Feng let out an instinctive scream. Because he had missed his step and fallen straight down, and the KTM 450 EXC fell with him.
"Ah! ~..."
Ye Feng passed through layers of fog and finally landed with a heavy "plop" in the water, splashing high before sinking. He struggled to the surface and immediately heard the sounds of rushing water and crashing all around him. Ye Feng looked around and realized that he and the KTM 450 EXC had fallen into a large pool of water at the base of a waterfall.
"What... what the heck?" Ye Feng was very puzzled. The forest he had been in earlier was covered in snow, and the temperature was below zero, while the place he was in now was clear, sunny, and bright.
Immediately, Ye Feng took off his heavy, waterlogged cold-weather suit and dived back into the water, swimming towards the KTM 450 EXC. This KTM 450 EXC was his important mode of transportation; he couldn't just abandon it in the pool! After a lot of effort, Ye Feng managed to get the KTM 450 EXC onto the shore.
"Huff, huff, huff~" Ye Feng lay on the ground, panting heavily.
"My strength is still not quite enough~"
Although the KTM 450 EXC weighed less than two hundred pounds, Ye Feng's current strength was not enough to lift it with ease.
Under the scorching evening sun, Ye Feng took off his wet clothes and placed them on the dry pebbles. In a short while, they were dry. He put on his clothes, inspected the KTM 450 EXC, and found that the bike was not damaged, only dented in some places and the paint chipped off.
"Is the weather in this 'Afterglow' world this ridiculous?" Looking at the snow-covered forest above and feeling himself sweating, Ye Feng was speechless. He then tidied up his supplies, mounted the KTM 450 EXC, and continued forward. He needed to find a suitable place to set up his tent for the night before darkness fell.
...
An hour later, after many twists and turns, Ye Feng finally reached a relatively flat area, and the sight that greeted him made his eyes light up.
"Huh? A town?"
"Xiao... Xiaoji Town?"
...
