Chapter 54 A Quiet Life

At this moment, Li Tianran, lying in the field, naturally had no idea about the disputes taking place in the council hall dozens of kilometers away, nor did he know that the man who had left a deep impression on him was now being isolated and ostracized by everyone!

Human nature is always like this: when you hate someone, you hate everything about them! Even if you know that their suggestions or decisions are correct, you will instinctively oppose them!

Of course, there are some people in this world who can clearly distinguish between personal dislike and the big picture, but their numbers are small. The vast majority of people integrate these two concepts.

This was most vividly illustrated in the actions of those councilors…

…

Li Tianran lay in the field, gently inhaling the fragrance of ancient herbs from all directions, feeling his whole body and mind blend into the earth.

He worked alongside the intelligent robots, planting all 300 mu of the planting area with seeds. With the help of the growth stimulant, the 300 mu of ancient-herb-level crops sprouted in just one hour, creating a pleasing green scene within the greenhouse.

"This kind of life is really pleasant..." Li Tianran lay in the field, completely unconcerned that his clothes were stained with mud and dust.

Because of the addition of the Void Sun, even at night, the greenhouse area was still bathed in sunshine.

Warm and inviting, making you want to fall asleep.

"If I had a rocking chair and a cup of tea… I wouldn't trade it for being an immortal." Li Tianran chuckled.

A rocking chair and tea were readily available to Li Tianran. What he truly yearned for was this peaceful, non-competitive feeling.

In such a chaotic apocalyptic world, being able to have such a haven was truly fortunate.

Lying on this land, feeling the green shoots of plants slowly grow, bathed in the warm light of the Void Sun, and feeling a gentle breeze caress his face... this feeling gave Li Tianran the illusion that the apocalypse had never happened, as if everything was still as it was before.

"Ah..." Li Tianran stretched and sat up, supporting himself with his hands. He turned his head to look in another direction.

That was the only upgraded black soil, only twenty square meters, in which twenty lv4 strawberry seedlings were planted.

Now, Li Tianran's farm had been upgraded. Large-scale planting was mainly lv3 ancient-herb-level crops, and small-scale planting was focused on lv4 god-level beneficial crops as a specialty. This way, he could obtain considerable points and master a large number of keys to open the "Evolution Gate."

"I'll come see you tomorrow. It's too late today… I'm going to sleep." Li Tianran waved his hand, bidding farewell to his crops.

…

Three o'clock in the morning.

After the world changed, the temperature in the early hours of the morning could drop to between minus thirty-five and forty-five degrees Celsius. The cold wind was like a knife, piercing the night sky.

In the dark night sky, only the howling wind seemed to obliterate everything.

Just then, some more sounds suddenly appeared in the night sky.

It sounded like glass breaking, or like bullet casings shattering…

Finally, the source of the sound was identified.

It was a frozen river, and the 150-centimeter-thick ice surface was slowly cracking. With one spot as the center, spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions.

Thump!

Thump!

The loud crashing sound seemed very muffled in the howling wind in the night sky. The ice surface was constantly shaking and cracking, as if something was about to drill out from under the ice.

Whoosh!

The cold groundwater gushed out along the cracks in the ice, and along with the muddy yellow water came a large number of fish and shrimp corpses…

A strong fishy stench churned up, and a huge crack opened in the ice.

Suddenly, the water surface at the crack churned, and then several huge, ferocious giant turtles climbed up. They were fierce and violent, with sharp claws and teeth, and their size was enough to match a small car!

After they landed, they quickly dispersed in different directions.

Then the water quieted down…

But after a long time, ripples appeared on the water surface again, and a huge head floated up silently. Amber eyes cautiously surveyed both banks of the river, and after confirming that there were no creatures present, it twisted its huge body and crawled up.

This was a giant crocodile-like creature. Its body was covered with some hard scales, and it was fifteen meters long, like a crouching Tyrannosaurus rex.

At this time, there were countless breaks in the scales on its back, and they were also scorched black, indicating that it had suffered a great loss in front of the heavy firepower of humans, almost losing its life.

It fled from the vast sea to this place, extremely cautiously driving out some non-perfectly mutated sea beasts to test whether there was heavy human firepower nearby. After confirming that there was no danger, it dared to show up.

It slowly crawled forward, and a strange light radiated from its amber eyes. The wounds on its body were slowly healing. As a perfectly mutated beast king, it had extremely strong self-healing abilities.

It cautiously looked at the surrounding environment, knowing that this was a gathering place for a race called "humans." Those two-legged creatures possessed invincible power, and even though it had become so powerful, it still had to flee in panic under the power of the opponent…

Ahead was a dense cluster of buildings. The giant crocodile sniffed the scent in the air and revealed an extremely greedy desire in its eyes.

Its stomach was convulsing violently, and hunger surged wildly.

But it hesitated, because it remembered that those "humans" were really terrifying… If it started preying on humans, it might die here if it wasn't careful.

But the intense hunger still drove it to slowly approach the buildings.

It tentatively crawled into the building on the edge, and its huge body actually crushed the wall directly!

Rumble!

The loud noise startled the residents of the building. Two men, draped in coats and holding shotguns, came out, and the next moment, their pupils contracted.

They saw a giant demon in the darkness!

Then, an ear-piercing scream echoed through the sky!

The giant crocodile retreated in terror. In its memory, the weapons in the hands of those humans wearing neat uniforms were very similar to those in the hands of these two humans!

It was also afraid of humans!

Several beast kings with even greater power than it had died in the hands of this weapon.

At this time, it felt that it had awakened the humans and that it was in a desperate situation. In order not to let the two humans in front of it summon more "companions," it swept over in terror with its large tail, wanting to risk serious injury to resist the weapons in the opponent's hands!

Bang!

The gun fired.

The giant crocodile felt cold all over, but the expected pain of broken bones did not appear. It just felt like its scales had been hit by something, neither painful nor itchy.

It looked over blankly, only to see that the two incomparably powerful "humans" had turned into mincemeat under its giant tail. The weapons in their hands had not even penetrated the giant crocodile's scales…

The giant crocodile stood blankly in place for a long time, and after a moment, it seemed to understand something and let out an excited roar!

Not all humans are gods!

Not all humans possess those weapons that can cause great damage!

In the sea, it was a pig and dog that was beaten to the point of desperation and fled in embarrassment, but here, it was a wanton lion!
