The moment the words "ordinary drinks" appeared in the weight column, Xu Mo couldn't wait to drink. At the same time, his satiety value, which had already returned to zero, finally increased by 10 points.

【Fullness: 10/150】

Although it was only an inconspicuous 10 points, the health value finally did not continue to decrease.

"Damn..."

Feeling the slightly weakened hunger, Xu Mo lay down on the grass with some relief. He had made the right bet. Wine could indeed restore the satiety value. Although it was very small, it could save lives at critical times.

Xu Mo, who survived the disaster, was not overly grateful.

The satiety value of 10 points cannot be sustained for long, and the crisis has not been completely resolved.

After taking a short rest, he felt that his physical strength had almost recovered, so he stood up again and continued to look for bird droppings around him.

Finally, all the bird droppings around the pond were plundered, and after brewing the wine according to the proportion, he finally restored the satiety value to over 100 points.

In addition, there are "ordinary drinks" x5 left in the load column.

He didn't drink it all in one go because he found that the wine he made could not only restore 10 satiety points, but also restore an additional 30 thirst points.

After some operations just now, the thirst level has reached the upper limit, and drinking anymore will be a bit wasteful.

Good news, the food crisis is temporarily over.

Bad news, the surrounding resources for making food have been completely used up, Xu Mo must move and explore other places.

He first collected and stored enough water. The upper limit of a single load-bearing column was "water x 10". He filled 10 columns, and the load became 13/15.

After making preparations, he stepped into the fog again.

After walking for a while, the surrounding environment changed. Scattered trees began to appear in the diffuse fog, most of them with weird shapes. Occasionally, bright flowers and more bird droppings appeared on the ground.

Although it was still quiet, it was at least a little more alive and not as depressing as before.

Xu Mo was not idle. He collected as many seeds as possible from the bird droppings and mixed them all with water to make wine. The two load-bearing columns were soon filled.

At this time, Xu Mo suddenly noticed that there was a blue plant growing on the grass in the distance.

"Mushroom!"

This is the only thing he has found that may be edible after exploring for so long, even though it has a twisted shape and a weird blue color all over its body.

After Xu Mo thought for a moment, he opened the [Channel].

[Current area number: 9527 Number of survivors: 6213]

Compared to the beginning, the number of people inside was much smaller, and most people should have realized that any attribute value on the panel was not a joke.

[No. 65864156: Can anyone kindly tell me where I can find food?I'm starving.】

[No. 03264861: Life points will be deducted after the thirst value reaches zero?What should I do? I haven’t found a drop of water yet. I don’t want to die!】

[No. 65891435: Haha!There are so many berries in my forest that I can’t finish them all...burp!Anyone want to trade?Get something in exchange!】

[No. 24624626: Warm reminder, if you encounter "berries", "blue mushrooms", and "flowers", please feel free to eat them. It is effective in personal testing and can restore satiety to varying degrees.】

If I remember correctly, there should have been more than 7,000 people in his area before, right?

"The number of people has decreased..."

It seemed that except for some food-rich areas, most people encountered the same problem. Xu Mo browsed again and saw that many people confirmed that blue mushrooms were edible, so he stepped forward to pick them with confidence.

[Get "Blue Mushroom" X1]

Next, Xu Mo encountered blue mushrooms again and kept them in his pocket. During this period, he tried to eat one and found that the satiety value increased by 25 points. The effect seemed to be pretty good.

[Get Blue Mushroom X7]

[Weight load: 15/15]

After the collection was completed, Xu Mo's weight-bearing column was completely full, but at this time, he noticed something wrong.

The "water" X10 that originally contained ten load-bearing columns has now turned into "dirty water"

"What's going on?"

Xu Mo frowned. The water and food collected would deteriorate over time, but this was too fast!

Only half a day has passed!

Xu Mo didn't know what negative effects the consumption of "dirty water" and "stale blue mushrooms" would have, but it seemed that the water and food he stored could not be stored for a long time.

"Is accelerating corruption part of the rules of the world?"

To Xu Mo's surprise, the "drink" he made did not change. Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and felt inexplicably happy, "It's in line with common sense."

At present, it seems that his talent is far more useful than he imagined!

In order to prevent the water from deteriorating further, he did not retain it this time and mixed all the collected seeds with water to make wine.

Just in case, Xu Mo didn't keep them all. He took some of them and put them in the exchange.

The so-called [Transaction] has two modes, one is to barter, and the other is to consume survival points to purchase. At the bottom of the interface, Xu Mo's current survival points are displayed: 10.

Everyone starts with the same number of survival points, which are earned over time.

The number of transactions in the trading house is not large, and most of the items on the shelves are common materials such as grass, tree branches, and stones. Although the demand for water and food is large, the prices are ridiculously high.

A unit of water was actually priced at a high price of 5 survival points.

After thinking over and over again, Xu Mo decided on 10 survival points per unit of drink.

After all, the wine he makes can not only increase thirst and satiety, but can even be used as long-term preserved food, which is very rare.

After doing this, he closed the trading house.

The surrounding light gradually became yellowish and dim, and as the fog spread, the visibility decreased again. Although Xu Mo could not judge the specific time, he could feel that night was coming.

Instinctively alert, he stood up immediately, opened the [Production] column and selected [Simple Torch].

【Simple torch】

[Production requirements: hay x5, branches x2]

After selecting [Create], the words "Simple Torch (Equipable)" X1 suddenly appeared in the load column.

As time went by, the surrounding light became darker and darker, and the original white fog turned into pitch black ink due to visibility reasons. At this moment, an unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly emerged in my mind.

In the darkness, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes watching, looking at him covetously.

Xu Mo equipped himself with a torch, and the moment the fire illuminated it, the surrounding darkness dispersed like a tide, and the fear also dissipated. Only then did Xu Mo realize that in just a few minutes, his sanity had plummeted.

[Sanity: 102/150]

Moreover, as night falls, this number is still slowly and continuously decreasing.

At some point, the surroundings turned pitch black. Xu Mo sat down against the tree trunk with some fear, staring at the black mist around him. Xu Mo always felt like there was something hidden in it, and the uneasy feeling made his skin crawl.

Losing sanity faster.

[Sanity: 98/150]

"No! You can't look around anymore." In order to divert his attention, Xu Mo opened the chat channel. The moment he clicked on it, his pupils shrank suddenly.

[Current area number: 9527 Number of survivors: 3562]
