"There are only more than 3,000 people left."

If he remembered correctly, there were more than 6,000 people in the current area in the afternoon. When night fell, more than 2,000 people were dead?

The chat channel, which had been slightly silent, was now buzzing with excitement.

[Number 64568234: Damn, it’s so scary. It turned dark just now, and it seemed like something passed in front of me.】

[No. 35684521: Fortunately, I made the torch in advance. It seems that darkness is the scariest thing.】

[No. 23678523: Just for a while?Did so many people die?What happened to those people?】

[No. 00264781: Help!Is anyone nearby?My torch is almost out, there are black shadows wandering nearby, they are about to pounce, help...]

The last voice message ended abruptly.

The entire chat channel fell into dead silence, and then completely exploded.

[Number 12562123: Brother, are you still there?brother?】

[No. 65861352: What should I do?My torch doesn't seem to last long. Who has extra branches to trade, food, water... whatever it takes!】

[Number 20359421: What kind of monster is it?I don’t have enough survival points to change, wuwuwu - I don’t want to die.】

There is an atmosphere of panic in the channel. Half of the people died on the first day alone. Can they really survive in this world?

Xu Mo broke out in a cold sweat. If he had acted a little later, would he have encountered that kind of monster?

He glanced at the darkness around him with his peripheral vision, and the creepy feeling came over him again.

His nerves had been tense for a day, and he was already tired, but he didn't dare to sleep at this time. He forced himself to stare at the torch in front of him that still had 85% durability left, and took the opportunity to make two more.

Fortunately, he picked up enough branches and dead grass during the day, so he didn't have to worry about running out.

The number of branches and dead grass that was originally traded in the trading house was decreasing visibly to the naked eye. Xu Mo clicked to open his own transaction order.

[Current Transaction: None]

[Survival points: 270]

"This..."

What an exaggeration!

It's only been half an hour since he hung up those drinks?Just gone?

After looking at the weight-bearing rails and more than 20 drinks, he tried to hang one. This time, he got 15 survival points.

The moment it is hung up, the transaction is immediately displayed as successful.

"Going crazy!"

Xu Mo swallowed. This group of people's demand for water and food was far more crazy than he imagined.

Looking at the 285 survival points in his hand, Xu Mo felt like he was holding a huge sum of money. Although the current transaction price was very attractive, Xu Mo still stayed rational and did not sell the remaining drinks rashly.

The survival points of 285 are already extremely exaggerated.

After flipping through more than a dozen pages, Xu Mo saw two things that were of interest to him.

【Stewed meat (food recipe)】

[Trading points: 35 points]

[Simple campfire (drawing)]

[Trading points: 40 points]

"Food recipes and drawings?"

Xu Mo's eyes lit up and he immediately chose the transaction without much hesitation.

After the transaction was successful and the blueprint was activated, his original [Production] interface had two more options.

【Stew】

[Production requirements: water x2, fresh meat x1]

【Simple campfire】

[Production requirements: Stone x5, wood x2]

Xu Mo frowned.

Although this [Stewed Meat] looks good, the requirements are a bit too stringent. [Fresh Meat] is available in the trading shop, but the price is not cheap.

Xu Mo thought about it, but there was no need to try it for the time being.

As for [Simple Bonfire], the stones and wood required for its production can be obtained through stone pickaxes and axes.

Unfortunately, during the day, Xu Mo did not see any stones that could be mined.

Fortunately, the prices of these two items in the trading house were not particularly expensive. Xu Mo only spent 3 survival points to get the required materials.

After he was fully prepared, he clicked [Create] and [Place] in sequence.

Immediately afterwards, a cluster of fire appeared instantly.

A bonfire surrounded by stones came into view, with flames burning on it, illuminating an area several times larger than the original torch!

After the chill was dispelled, Xu Mo's tense nerves relaxed.

Then he discovered that he could add fuel to it, whether it was "withered grass", "twigs" or "wood", as long as it could burn, everything would work.

In this way, he finally didn't have to worry about the torch burning out, and Xu Mo spent the night guarding the bonfire.

The next morning, when the surrounding light became bright again, Xu Mo, who had not slept all night, was a little tired, but he still managed to stand up.

It's not time to sleep yet.

[Sanity: 62/150]

Over the course of one night, Xu Mo's sanity had dropped to 62 points. Compared with yesterday, his vision began to appear double, and the surrounding space seemed slightly distorted.

If this continues, he doesn't know what will happen.

"We have to find a way to solve it."

Taking heavy steps, Xu Mo began to explore around. With yesterday's lesson, he would collect as much as possible as long as he confirmed that there were no dangerous things in the chat channel.

Dead grass, tree branches, scattered stones, seeds, flowers...

【Get "Flowers" X1】

[Sanity: 63/150]

Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the [Flowers] X10 in the weight-bearing column, "Could it be that..."

In order to confirm what he was thinking, he looked at a flower in the distance again. Just like this, it took him half a day, when the number of flowers in the load-bearing column became X20.

A little more sanity again.

[Sanity: 64/150]

"As expected!"

Xu Mo was overjoyed. It turned out that flowers were not only edible, but also increased his sanity. Although collecting 10 flowers only increased his sanity by 1 point, it was no better than that.

This is currently the only way Xu Mo has found to restore his sanity.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became energetic and began to search with his eyes, trying to find more flowers, but soon he discovered another problem...

The number of flowers is really too few.

At this pace, even if it takes a whole day, it is estimated that only about 10 points of sanity can be restored. This speed cannot offset the consumption of the night.

In a few days, his sanity will eventually return to zero.

And what he will face then...

Xu Mo's face was gloomy. He finally solved the food problem, but he didn't expect to encounter new troubles, and each of these troubles was more serious than the last!

After working for a long time, my full stomach and physical strength were dangerously high.

Xu Mo had to find a place to rest, while recovering his strength, he took out drinks to satisfy his thirst.

"Huh?"

[Talent - Brewer: You can try brewing various drinks without any recipes, and you will get different effects after drinking them.】

"Yes!"

Xu Mo slapped his thigh excitedly. The introduction of the winemaker's talent made it very clear that he could brew various drinks, and the effects obtained after drinking them were also different.

Since flowers can restore sanity, what if they are used to make wine?

Just do it!

Without saying a word, Xu Mo immediately opened the trading house and survived for another day. The remaining surviving points from yesterday increased by 10 points, and the current remaining points are: 212.

He first spent 50 survival points and changed 10 units of water.

Then click on [Creation] and [Wine Brewing], and put in [Water] and [Flowers] respectively.

After several attempts, when the ratio between the two reached 2:5, the [Create] button below finally lit up.

[Get "Flower Brew" X1]

"Successful!" Xu Mo shouted excitedly, and then he drank it uneasily. Although the brewing was successful, the effect was still unknown.

The drink this time has a fragrance, and it even makes people feel happy the moment it enters the throat.

【Thirst: 106/150】

[Sanity: 84/150]

Thirst value and sanity value increased by 20 points each!

Originally, 10 units of flowers could only increase 1 point of sanity, but after being made into "flower brew", 5 units of flowers could increase 20 points of sanity, a full 40 times the effect!

Xu Mo followed suit and made 20 units of flowers into "flower brew".

After drinking two portions of flower brew again, his sanity finally returned to a healthy level of 124 points, and the double images and distortions in front of him finally disappeared.

Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, as long as he could collect flowers, he wouldn't have to worry about his sanity.

Looking at the only "flower brew" left, Xu Mo had an idea.

“What would happen if we put this in a trading house?”

At present, unless they have related talents, most people should not have found a specific way to restore their sanity, right?Even if someone, like him, discovered that flowers could restore sanity, it would be a drop in the bucket.

At this time, what if he trades "Hua Yong"?

Xu Mo narrowed his eyes and took action after only a moment.

【Flower brew X1】

[Trading Points: 50 Survival Points]

[Remarks: It can restore 20 points of sanity and 20 points of thirst]

50 survival points!

Xu Mo knew that this was a sky-high price for most people, but in order to survive, someone must be willing to trade. Even if it couldn't be sold for a while, it didn't matter. Let the bullets fly for a while.

At this moment, a friend request suddenly popped up.

[No. 36454160 applied through friends.】

[Application Note: Hello, is it convenient for us to chat?】

Illegal request-2
