Recently, Ye Xingchen and the others would go to the night market from time to time. They would bring one person that day and another person on another day. Everyone in the safety fortress had a chance to go. When they came back, they all sighed and felt like they had returned to their old lives.

Although it was far from the city of the past, it was still a place that people yearned for.

Ever since Little Black awakened his ability, Ye Xingchen often kept Little Black by his side.

Originally, Ye Xingchen couldn’t believe it either, but after several experiments proved that Little Black had indeed awakened the ability of prophecy, Ye Xingchen was overjoyed.

This meant that he wouldn’t have to be so scared when he went out in the future, because if he encountered any trouble, Little Black would tell him five minutes in advance.

The only downside was that Little Black’s prophecy ability could only be used three times a day, and each time he could only predict what would happen five minutes later, so Ye Xingchen especially cherished this three times a day.

Ye Xingchen also discovered that Little Black could not predict everything. It seemed that he could only predict events for people who had a high affinity with him, such as Ye Xingchen, Lin Sijia, Mo Qi, and Zhao Hao. The reason why he could predict Chen Daran’s incident at the beginning was that he was hungry after his superpower was fully awakened.

After another three months, Ye Xingchen and the others had even gotten used to the temperature. At first, they might have caught a cold because of the huge difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the safety fortress, but over time, their bodies adapted to the temperature difference. After all, they would only go out at night.

For three whole months, every time Ye Xingchen brought Little Black through the forest, his fur would stand on end. Ye Xingchen was also very curious, but every time he asked what would happen if he went through the forest, Little Black would just shake his head silently.

Ye Xingchen was extremely curious, but he would never use his life to do this experiment, which led him to suppress this curiosity.

Another month had passed, and so many people had died from heatstroke due to the high temperature. According to the official news, the number of deaths this time was comparable to the number of people who had frozen to death during the extreme cold.

The officials were still recruiting people. They had already developed drought-resistant potatoes. Ye Xingchen had even used various connections to get a small bag of drought-resistant potatoes to taste. However, after eating a mouthful, he almost vomited.

After eating it with difficulty, Ye Xingchen waved his hand and put the whole bag of potatoes into his space. There was no other way. In this apocalypse, he had gotten picky about food. After calculating, Ye Xingchen realized that it had been more than ten months since the start of the strange snow.

On this day, Ye Xingchen also went out as usual. Now, they basically went to the night market three times a week.

It wasn’t that they lacked anything. The sea creatures that Ye Xingchen brought back were edible after special treatment. The ones that Ye Xingchen kept in the big swimming pools were enough for them to eat. After all, they didn’t lack food and drink. They just wanted to taste them occasionally.

They came to the shore just to relax.

After all, no matter how well-equipped the safety fortress was, it was still indoors. No matter how many people were there to relieve one’s boredom, one would suffer from mental illness if they stayed indoors for too long.

When he went out today, Ye Xingchen keenly felt that the temperature seemed to have dropped a little.

The temperature monitor showed 48 degrees Celsius, which was indeed a few degrees lower than the usual temperature. Ye Xingchen had been paying attention to the temperature monitor every day, and every day, the temperature was higher than 52 degrees Celsius. Even on the lowest day, it was 53 degrees Celsius.

“Little Black, will we encounter any danger later?”

Little Black narrowed his eyes and shook his head at Ye Xingchen after ten seconds.

But this time, Ye Xingchen had an inexplicable feeling that something big was about to happen.

This time, it was Lin Sijia’s turn to go out with Ye Xingchen.

After everyone in the safety fortress went out with them once, they used a lottery system to pick who would go out. This was because people did not want to stay in the safety fortress. If it was not so hot outside, they would have gone outside to play.

So later, Ye Xingchen simply let those who wanted to go to the night market gather together and do a drawing. Those who drew the lots could go out, and those who didn’t could only wait for the next time.

“What do you want to buy?”

Ye Xingchen walked Little Black and slowly followed beside Lin Sijia. The driver today was Zhao Hao’s brother, Yuan Bo, while Zhao Hao was maintaining order at home.

Mo Qi and Qin Tianming disappeared as soon as they got out of the car. However, Ye Xingchen was not worried. After all, they had been coming here several times a week for the past few months. They were basically familiar with the roads here. Moreover, Mo Qi and Qin Tianming knew their limits. Even if they went to play, they would not go too far.

Lin Sijia was also very relaxed now. Ever since they had thoroughly studied the seafood and the rare big rats sold here, Lin Sijia had lost interest in these two things.

Lin Sijia didn’t dare to buy food and drinks. After all, she didn’t know what would happen if she ate or drank them. This time, Lin Sijia finally stopped in front of a stall selling accessories and gadgets.

“Does this hair clip look good?”

Lin Sijia chose a hair clip made of a colorful shell.

The shells were not big, and could even be said to be a little delicate. Ever since the collective mutation of marine creatures, the thumb-sized shells had grown to the size of a palm, while the palm-sized shells became as big as a face.

The one that Lin Sijia picked was undoubtedly special. Regardless of the color, the miniature size alone made it particularly special in the pile.

“Alright, then I’ll take this.”

“OK, the price is half an anti-inflammatory pill.”

There were not many people on this side. Compared to the stalls that sold seafood, there were obviously fewer people here. However, this was normal. After all, the price of half an anti-inflammatory drug was enough to buy a bucket of seafood.

Ye Xingchen took out a piece of anti-inflammatory medicine and was about to break it in half. Suddenly, Little Black shouted twice and bit Ye Xingchen’s pants..
