By the time he got home, it was already afternoon, so Ming was watching for the froglets with binoculars, but he didn't see them.
What have these two been up to again?
[Da Vinci and foodie, squatting on a broken slab, they suddenly found that the travel backpack is still empty ... oh forget to work, the two froglets look at each other, thinking it's all the spider problem. It woven a net for so long time caused them to look it so long ... stupid spider].
[Da Vinci patted foodie, trying to find something to take back... and foodie saw the sand pit in front of him. Do we take some sand back to Ming? Da Vinci thinks OK, after all Ming hasn't played with sand since childhood.]
[The two froglets bounced to the sand pit...and after filling their bag with sand, they bounced happily back home]
"..."
Ming stood at the top of the hill, putting down his binoculars. It was still two stupid frogs, but all alright, he was thinking about going to get some sand so he wouldn't have to go out and find it again.
Half an hour later, the two froglets returned home, Ming touching their heads to end their journey. Today, these two little guys only jumped 2091 times, accumulating 2091 travel points.
He upgraded Da Vinci immediately, plus the last remaining experience only increased up two levels. It takes more than a thousand experience to level up one level.
Following the upgrade, he placed sand on the west side of the room, which serves as a play area for the froglets.
After obtaining more sand, he plans to sell it to David.
After dinner, the family continues to gaze at the sunset; this peaceful moment is extremely rare.
[The Doomsday Trading House is now open; please begin selecting your favorite products]
Ming clicked on the doomsday trading house, previously did not pay much attention. Now, he is looking at the food categories, most of which are open bag ready to eat things, sandwiches, noodles, cookies, lunch meat, ham sausage, and so on.
The steak is oven-cooked, and you can choose how rare they are. Lucky for him, the items in the brain field warehouse won't spoil and will keep their original states.
"Go buy!"
A look at the prices, they are not expensive, and he bought a variety of foods and then some water, the prices are very low.
Because of the fishy smell of froglets and fish, the water in the frog pond cannot be drunk.
The Doomsday Trading House was closed, Ming lying on a chair, two froglets sleeping on his chest.
He started his daily ritual of looking at the world chat channel.
"What are you doing, everyone? Suddenly, the corpse tide was over, and I was feeling a bit lonely. Everyone has come to chat, and I'm afraid I'll have psychological problems."
"I am now standing in my own shelter, looking out at the devastated world, but also a little bit of life sentiment, and I will give you a poem..."
"Well, let's get down to business. Are you joining the Aurora Corps? What's the situation now? Could we talk about it now?"
"I joined it. It was the mercenaries who had gathered to collect protection fees under the banner of great unity."
"We are not mercenaries; it was stated at the gathering that reconstruction necessitates everyone contributing and paying together; isn't this normal?"
"Reconstruction is a worthwhile idea, but you say directly that money and materials are unified to pay, and then unified construction planning, which always feels strange."
"To be honest, I think you guys should try to live together first and build up some trust in each other."
"..."
Ming gently got up, placed the two froglets on the cobblestones, stood on the roof, and looked down the hill. He noticed a flicker of light at the edge of the city, which was people from the wilderness entering the city.
Some carried torches, while others carried the sun or glowing flowers. There were campfires scattered about the city ruins in the distance, either alone or in groups of three or two.
Ming discovered that these newcomers to the city have chosen to settle in the city's central area; perhaps they believe that the farther away they are from the wilderness, the more secure they feel; after all, they have been in the wilderness for too long.
His hill, the city ruins to the north, the suburbs further north, and the wilderness further north.
The city center was south, the sea was east, and the earth rift valley that separated that puppet master was west.
Next day,
6:00
Two froglets licked Ming awake, and he looked at the time and realized it was already the next day.
He finished feeding the froglets and let them go, following them around to search for the ground's rift.
It wasn't until noon that he finally found a three-pound spiritual energy stone. He snapped his fingers, and before the small sparrow could land on his shoulder, he was interrupted by his skills.
Sniff~
"Why does it smell of a centipede?"
Ming immediately examined the source of the odor and found nothing unusual.
There was a man in the distance, walking towards the city center, all wrapped up tightly, with a thick square scarf on his face, who, based on his attire, appeared to be returning to the city from the wild. Looking at that person reminded him of David; he couldn't be an elementalist as well, could he?
But why did he smell like a centipede?
He checked with [Eagle Eye].

"..."
Disadvantage: when in melee combat it bites people, and remember his mouth is very poisonous...
"Mutation?"
Ming stood there watching as the man walked away, eventually disappearing into the ruins.
Gene mutations?
How did this happen?
He double-checked his attribute panel to ensure that the words 'mutation gene' were not present.
"Mutation?"
"Centipede?"
"It smells like a centipede."
He seemed to understand a little bit; this person had to be bitten by a mutated centipede and then alienated, right?
"If they are..."
He looked out into the distance, at the people who were sporadically entering the city, and then at the people who had already settled in the city center the night before; could there still be people with mutated genes among these people?
