In the early morning, the sunlight outside the window shone on the soft bed in the middle of the bedroom along the undrawn curtains. Ye Xuan on the bed rubbed his eyes that were hurt by the light, and groped for a long time from the pillow to find the phone. He turned on the screen and looked at it. — August 22, 2020.
Ye Xuan squinted his eyes and looked at the numbers on the phone for a long time, and found that the date would not change no matter how he looked at it, he threw the phone aside angrily.
He looked at the snow-white ceiling and thought: When will this nightmare of going back to the past end
Three days ago, Ye Xuan was in the core area of the base in City B, eating a hot pot made of mutated beef for his birthday, and was thinking about some fruit for a snack after dinner, when a big vortex suddenly appeared in the room , before he was ready for defense, his whole body was directly swallowed by the vortex, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to ten years ago, that is, a month before the end of the world.
According to Ye Xuan's knowledge, the end of the world is due to a virus from outer space that has never been seen by humans. Humans have given it a code name called virus A. Virus A came to the earth silently on the day of the vernal equinox five months ago, and it only took a few seconds to infect the living things on the earth, human beings, animals, plants, all of them were spared.
After a six-month incubation period, the A virus completely broke out on September 23, which is the day of the autumnal equinox. Life forms all over the world entered a seven-day dormant state at the same time. Doomsday.
The earth's environment has become more extreme. Half of the year is hot summer and the other half is cold winter. The spring and autumn are almost reduced to only a few days in a year.
As far as biology is concerned, human beings were first affected by the A virus, and about three quarters of the human beings did not make it through, and were transformed by the virus into zombies with no intelligence, no consciousness, and only crazily pursuing raw meat; Among the lower quarter of human beings, about one percent became supernatural beings. Speed, strength, space, spirit, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder, and many strange abilities have also appeared in the world one after another.
A few months later, animals began to mutate similarly to humans, and they were divided into ordinary animals with no change, mutant beasts with a bit of intelligence (in Ye Xuan's words, the most important thing is to be edible), and disgusting and useless zombies Beasts; after a while, plants also underwent the same changes, zombified, mutated, and originally harmless plants completely became killers hidden in the dark.
With the occurrence of these changes, the human beings on the earth have officially started a long journey of survival in the last days.
Ye Xuan was the luckiest group of people. Not only did he not become a zombie, he even became a supernatural being.
The group of supernatural beings who awakened when the end of the world came was much stronger than those of the same series, and Ye Xuan, as one of the rare elemental supernatural beings, was a unique existence. Before he was forced to be reborn, he The life of supernatural beings is already quite nourishing. Except for being forced to go out to do tasks every few months, he only needs to spawn a batch of vegetables or purify a batch of crystal nuclei every morning to get a lot of contribution points. Either lying at home and playing games, or wandering around the base, is a happy salted fish.

But now it is meaningless to talk about how comfortable his life will be ten years later. He was reborn, and he was reborn ten years ago when the end of the world was about to come. up.
If it were someone else, before returning to the end of the world, they might want to tell everyone the news of the end of the world, prepare a large amount of supplies, organize the forces to resist the zombies in advance, and get rid of those who betrayed themselves in the end of the world in advance... All in all, back to Before the end of the world, it is a great opportunity for many people to live a good life, dominate the world, and reach the pinnacle of life.
But Ye Xuan just wanted to go back quickly, whoever wanted this opportunity would want it.
End the last days early? The A virus that led to the end of the world has already quietly taken root in the living organisms on the earth, and no hospital or research department has discovered this matter for five months. According to the post-apocalyptic news, those scientists were not aware of this at all before the apocalypse, and even the infection time of the A virus was discovered by them a few years later. As for solving the A virus, it is a matter of no effect at all. Let Ye Xuan, a pure layman, do this kind of thing to save mankind, let it go.
Early warning? Although the main cause of the end of the world is a virus, natural disasters occurred in many places around the world about half a month before the end of the world. Many people said on the Internet that the end of the world is coming, and many people even saved it at home. food and water. All Ye Xuan can do is to talk a little more about the end-time situation without putting himself in it. Whether someone will believe it depends on fate.
Save loved ones and friends? Ye Xuan's parents both died in an accident two years ago. After that, he didn't interact with people very much. He only traded stocks at home every day and lived on his parents' inheritance. He really had nothing to make him risk being exposed. save friends.
Collect materials to dominate? Ye Xuan, who had been involved in the affairs of the base before and found out within two days that he was really not that material, crossed out this option as soon as he came up, not to mention doing it again, no matter how many times he came, he would not be able to become the overlord of one side.
Ye Xuan thought a little irritably, he survived the early days of the last days when natural disasters continued, his abilities were weak, and the social order was chaotic. Formation, social stability in the late end of the world, and the result is rebirth? God is forcing him to suffer again because he sees how displeased he is
But whether he is reborn or not does not depend on Ye Xuan's will. He can't change the matter that the vortex dragged him into it before the end of the world, and he can't change it even ten years after he returns.
So Ye Xuan lay on the bed for more than ten minutes, and after realizing the cruel fact that he was still before the end of the world today, he got up resignedly, and started the countdown to the end of the new day.
While heating up the food packed yesterday from the kitchen in the microwave, he thought a little bit of self-deprecation, anyway, the matter of rebirth can’t be changed, at worst, it’s like adding ten years of life span in disguise, and he can’t just die because he can’t accept the reality, right?
After eating a simple breakfast, Ye Xuan took out a piece of raw meat from the refrigerator, and released a green vine with a bloody tinge from the red mark on the palm of his left hand.
The vines without roots bend and float in mid-air, which is weird but makes people feel that it should be like this.
The vines, which hadn't come out for a long time to breathe, rubbed against Ye Xuan affectionately, and then wrapped themselves around the piece of raw meat on the plate, a faint red light flashed, and when the vines loosened again, the plate was empty, not even a little blood. No, it was as if such a piece of meat had never existed before.
This is Ye Xuan's greatest reliance.

Around the fifth year of the end of the world, Ye Xuan stumbled into an abandoned village when he was out looking for resources.
Ye Xuan didn't care about the tranquility of the village when he first started. There are many empty villages in the last days. Some people died when the zombies broke out, and some survivors moved their families to the base. Protected by high walls, it is normal for people to leave wherever zombies enter casually. As for zombies, after losing their traces, they will basically never appear again.
However, when he found a room that was barely livable, and he spawned mutated plants to set up a defensive circle, the mutation suddenly appeared. The mutated plants that he had refined many times and connected with him suddenly all died. All the injected abilities flowed to the large vines that suddenly appeared in the yard, and even the abilities in his body began to flow uncontrollably towards the vines.
This is the passive start of the process of identifying the master. Ye Xuan knows very well that he must either sever his connection with the vine at the cost of greatly reducing his strength, and then be swallowed by it; It is to be controlled by it, and to be its servant in turn. .
The pros and cons of the two paths were clearly laid out in front of Ye Xuan. Based on his experience in recovering mutated plants many times, he continued to input powers while making a big cut on his left hand, and walked towards the area that covered the sky and the sun. Just touching the depressing vine and using blood to connect with it.
The vine touched his favorite wood-type power and the blood of the power user excitedly moved over. The vine in the middle slowly touched his palm, and slowly began the master recognition ceremony.
After an unknown period of time, when Ye Xuan became unconscious and felt that his abilities and blood were about to be sucked dry by the vines, it finally replied to Ye Xuan.
Large tracts of vines entangled Ye Xuan. The moment the original emerald green vines touched him, they transmitted energy to his body, and then withered and fell to the ground. In the end, the strongest vine in the middle also entangled Ye Xuan's body, a flash of light flashed, and the vine disappeared. When Ye Xuan advanced, there was a leaf mark on his palm. This is what the vine left him up.

It took Ye Xuan a long time to figure out the characteristics of this vine, and then he took it as his biggest trump card.
First of all, it has a complete symbiotic relationship with Ye Xuan. When Ye Xuan dies, it will not be controlled by other wood-type supernatural beings. This can be said to be Ye Xuan's most loyal partner in the chaotic environment of the last days. .
Secondly, it is very easy to raise. Ye Xuan advanced it without consuming crystal cores at all, and Ye Xuan always felt that his own advancement speed was much faster after having this vine. He guessed that part of the energy it absorbed was transferred to itself, or it might not necessarily speed up its own energy absorption.
Last but not least, this vine gave him a power—space power.
There are some space ability users in the last days, but there are quite a few space ability users who can mix well, because this ability is really a bit tasteless.
The ability to fight has to reach a very high level. In the early stage, it is completely an item storage box. When encountering ordinary zombies, they use weapons to fight. When encountering powerful zombies, they can only run away. Moreover, others couldn't see what the space power user had stored. In this end-time where resources were scarce and a catty of rice could fight, the space power user was simply the person with the lowest trust in every team.
But when a group of people go out to the base to do missions, they must also bring a space ability user with them, otherwise it will be a big trouble if there is no place to put supplies in the car.
Therefore, after the period when people with space abilities passed through the period when everyone thought it was a great thing to have a space and tried their best to attract space abilities, this ability that has no combat ability and will make everyone feel defensive will no longer be popular. . It is enough for each team to have one space ability user who can meet the basic storage requirements of the team, and the team will not give them too many crystal cores to improve their combat capabilities after the storage capacity is reached, and not many people will Trusting them wholeheartedly, their status can be said to be quite embarrassing.
In Ye Xuan's memory, the only ones with higher levels of space abilities are the "large mobile warehouses" in the military.
Ye Xuan hadn't revealed the fact that he had space before. He was a follower of the base's officials. He usually either spawned vegetables and fruits in the base for logistics, or went on missions with the officials. He was in charge of food and lodging, so he basically didn't have to worry about it himself. .
To him, this space that can expand as long as the vines eat raw meat is just a portable safe for storing drug crystal cores. Although the area is far larger than ordinary space power users, it is basically not serious. It has been used a few times, and it has shrunk significantly during the rebirth process, and by the way destroyed a large number of crystal nuclei in Ye Xuan's existence, making Ye Xuan want to die in pain.
but now…
Ye Xuan thought for a while and then took out a piece of meat and handed it to the vine. The vine spun around on the piece of meat for a long time. Ye Xuan somehow saw the word disgust from a vine. He said earnestly: " Now there are no mutant beasts for you to eat, I can only give you the meat of ordinary animals, you should work hard first, and I will give you the meat that I owe you in a few months, okay?"
His ability level is now zero. Apart from being able to release the vines, he can't even germinate the seeds. If he can't hold the vines' thighs properly, he really isn't sure that he can survive this period of time. Among other things, how many things he can store before the end of the world really depends on this little ancestor.
The vines swayed for a long time, probably because they realized that the host was a little "poor" now and couldn't provide him with delicious food. After struggling for a long time, he still ate the piece of meat, rubbed against Ye Xuan and went back to absorb energy.
Ye Xuan waited for the vines to finish eating and enter a resting state before starting to tidy up the kitchen.
While tidying up, he couldn't help but think that the amount of animals and plants in other people's homes is calculated according to the amount of energy for a meal, and the meat of a palm-sized high-level mutant beast is enough for them to digest for a long time. But the ancestor of my family is based on volume, and the digestion time of meat with any amount of energy is the same. In the past, I had a lot of resources, so it was no problem to raise it. Now it is really difficult to provide it with suitable food.
Ye Xuan made a rough calculation in his heart, and at this rate, there would be no problem with the materials that could be stored in the space enough for him to eat for several years when the end of the world came. But things can't be counted in this way, his abilities are too weak in the early days of the end of the world, he always has to prepare something for himself to be safe, at least he can't work hard for a pack of instant noodles like in his previous life.
As for living ten years from now
Hehe, he still dreams faster.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Vines: The host can only provide food with large volume and low energy, which is really hopeless.
Ye Xuan: Shut up!
