Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Having passed the crisis, the following days were very peaceful.

Like a reward after successfully clearing a level, they encountered no danger, as if everything they had previously experienced was merely an illusion; in reality, they had never gone through it at all, it was just imagination.

"Tsk, all said and done, this planet is still impressive on its own."

The system quickly figured out what the evolution rain meant; simply put, the planet evolved on its own, and as a bonus brought an energy rain that could heal most creatures' physical injuries.

"Planet evolution—whether it's good or bad for the creatures living on the planet, who knows."

Shen Yao wasn't as optimistic as the system; the reason was that the planet's evolution wouldn't stop. Ascending dimensions was like a person climbing stairs—she wasn't just going up one floor, and if she had the energy, she would definitely keep going higher, so the planet's evolution wouldn't cease.

And evolution was the prerequisite for planetary creatures to mutate; when evolution wouldn't stop, it also meant the creatures on the planet would constantly mutate without end.

They had witnessed the terror of mutated creatures and the power of ability users; these things would continue to undergo earth-shaking changes, which was absolutely not a good thing for ordinary people living at the origin point.

At any time, the weak were always the unluckiest—an inevitable result of the mechanism's existence, with no possibility of change.

"Host, good and bad aren't for us to decide; ultimately, whether to take this path depends on this planet."

In other words, the planet chose to ascend and evolve on its own, and the creatures on the planet had no reason to object (even if they did, they couldn't influence the planet's will; after all, compared to the massive planet, the creatures inside were merely guests, and it was perfectly normal for the owner to do as they pleased).

"Yeah," Shen Yao thought of the evolution rain that had fallen.

At first it felt like nothing, but gradually it took effect on all creatures; even ability users could get a decent boost.

Several days had passed since the evolution rain; if they hadn't known the rain's benefits at first, the changes around them later still made clever people realize something was different.

The excessively rapid temperature rise and the green plants appearing around them, plus the occasional animals hidden among the greenery, made the planet, which had been silent for several months, regain its vitality—all because of this sudden evolution rain.

"There will be scenes like this in the future; I just don't know if the people who got caught in the rain have changed."

The system poetically sighed once, then whooshed away in a flash.

Hmm

That's just how the system was—no emotion lasted more than three minutes. Thinking it was some deep, meaningful system? Stop dreaming.

Too lazy to deal with the lively system, Shen Yao turned to find a place to rest. At this point, they no longer had the caution they had while traveling, because the danger on the road was nearly zero; even better, they could catch edible small animals from the grass and woods growing around them.

These small animals weren't mutated creatures; their attack power was close to zero, and even ordinary people could easily handle them. Life seemed to have returned to the very beginning, rather than the chaotic end of days.

"How great it would be if it could always be like this."

"Dream on. The end of days is the end of days; no matter how much it resembles peace, it's fake."

"Tsk, cheer up, brother. At least we're alive now."

"The difference between dying early and dying late—maybe dying early is enjoying blessings."

"……"

Ordinary people didn't avoid talking about death; it seemed they had already grown used to it. From the beginning of the end of days until now, they had brushed shoulders with the god of death countless times, and no one knew whether the next brush would cost them their heads.

Shen Yao was a mental ability user who could hear sounds within a certain range; even if she wanted to control them, these people couldn't escape her mental ability.

This was the power of mental ability users: once they got past the initially useless period, they were the most powerful group of ability users.

She pulled out her backpack, took out the food inside, opened it, and ate. Shen Yao thought dry bread really wasn't as good as steaming hot food.

Just as she was thinking about delicious food, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning walked over from the distance, smiling.

The two of them carried several covered basins in their hands, which presumably contained food, because Shen Yao smelled a fragrance.

She raised an eyebrow. "You went hunting?"

Just ordinary wild game, the same as the small animals other ordinary people caught from the forest; there was no energy from mutated creatures.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning nodded, indicating that they were on official outings, and the animals had not been obtained by other means—they relied entirely on themselves.

"The effect of that rain far exceeded imagination," as if injecting vitality back into this planet, though they currently didn't know whether that vitality was beneficial.

She removed the lid from the basin, revealing the meat chunks stewed until soft and rotten, paired with several bowls of distinct grains of rice, and the three of them impolitely began to eat.

The bread that Shen Yao had bitten half of went back into its backpack, silently enduring the fate of being disliked.

"Mm, home-cooked food is still the most fragrant," those energy bars and biscuits they ate while busy were just for filling the stomach; Shen Chengyu didn't like them normally.

"But only when there's nothing to do right now do we have a chance to eat these things," Shen Chengning saw clearly. Previously they were busy dealing with mutated creatures, eating mutated creature meat once a day to supplement energy. Now there was no danger, and they moved freely to relax their moods. Once they reached the new shelter, they'd be busy again.

"Heard? This time the new shelter isn't as big as the old shelter, but inside there's farmland and a stream, and around it are mountain ranges serving as natural barriers. One could say this place is very suitable for living; compared to the old shelter, the new shelter itself has certain defensive capabilities."

Of course, the new shelter had a hundred things awaiting development, and definitely needed their help with construction.

Shen Chengning had already thought about her life ahead—it would definitely be very busy. Not just herself, but also Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengyi; just thinking about it made her tired.

Shen Chengyu curled her lip. "Not afraid of being tired, just afraid of people having ulterior motives inside." This clearly meant she couldn't stand certain people or had already suffered a loss.

However, with Shen Chengyu's ability and thoughts, if she suffered a loss she would definitely retaliate, and Shen Chengyi was always their backup. If anyone really wanted to target Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning, Shen Chengyi wouldn't ignore it.

Soon, the mother and daughter trio finished the food before them; the meat chunks and rice inside were all gone, leaving only several empty basins placed there, silently attesting to the deliciousness of the food.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning had to patrol in the afternoon. Even though the crisis had been resolved, their mission wasn't complete; until they reached the new shelter, they had to patrol step by step.

The further forward they walked, the more obvious the greenery around them became. These plants and animals were as if they had taken a swelling agent; if it weren't for clearly knowing when they had set out, they would have felt their memories were confused.

"Here, have we arrived?"

"Soon, soon, right? So many trees... we... we won't be killed, will we?"

Evolution wasn't just for animals but also plants. These people still remembered the crisis they had initially encountered, especially plants that could roll people up. Compared to them, humans were like petty people who had mistakenly entered the land of giants.

While traveling, Shen Yao also paid attention to changes in the surrounding environment. She didn't detect the presence of mutated creatures. These trees grew tall indeed because of the evolution rain, but they were only scary to look at; in reality, they had no aggressiveness at all, nor did they possess the instincts that intelligent creatures should have.

The team at the front sped up; it was obvious that there was no danger around them.

When the speed reached a certain point, the idle chatter within the team gradually disappeared without a trace.

No one had the leisure to say anything anymore; everyone focused their energy on the destination soon to arrive—the new shelter designated by the Official.

"Is this the place?" It didn't look like anything special; there was even a dense forest all around, and considering the dangers existing in the forest, this place might be even more troublesome than the Old Shelter's environment.

"The Officials must have their considerations for setting it here." At present this only counts as half a finished product; although there are high-rise buildings erected, anyone with a bit of ability can sense that the buildings' interiors have nothing at all — this is merely an empty shell.

Shen Chengyi waved his hand, signaling the Team Members to take out the things from the Che Xiang; by this time they had already arrived at the New Shelter, having migrated for thirty days.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning took down their family's original belongings; these are all things they can show on the Surface; some are hidden in the space and can only be taken out once the allocated rooms are finalized.

However, analyzing the situation before their eyes, they still have a stretch of time to go before they can reach the Old Shelter's standard of living.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning sighed softly, hoping this time they can stay longer; even if they had to discard so many benefits to migrate, the Officials must have weighed both sides and found migration Cost-effective.

Shen Yao and her group finally had a temporary Camp that could shelter them from wind and rain; although during allocation, due to excessive personnel and insufficient Site, many people were squeezed together, but looking at the sturdy reinforced concrete all around, everyone's hearts rarely gave rise to a trace of Safety.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Modern Times architecture makes them more Accepting; the usual Wind and Rain Lodging, even with Tents or prefab houses, could never let them Put Down their guard.

Shen Yao continued looking for a Corner to rest; Shen Chengyi and the other two temporarily won't come over to find her, because the Officials' Mission is heavier — not only the New Shelter not built well yet but hurriedly put into use, there are also some Personnel Arrangements, all needing the Officials to expend effort handling.

The bread in the Backpack ultimately went into Shen Yao's somewhat Hungry Belly; after all, at this time few people can eat hot meals, and even the family reserves brought from the Shelter now only have a little bit left.

Many people lamented Striving for many years only to have to start over; who knows, life in the New Shelter might be even worse.

"At least we're Alive." Compared to other people's deaths, they are undoubtedly Lucky.

"Being Alive is also living day to day with no tomorrow." Who knows if this place will really be Safe; perhaps the forest Outside hides even more Dangerous Creatures — they've just escaped the tiger's den only to enter the wolf's lair.

"Still better than certain people." Those with a 'smash the canister' attitude have had their thinking changed by the Evolution Rain's baptism; in the end, staying Alive is still most important.

The Topic ran off course from here; they've already arrived at the New Shelter, the good life is about to start — talking about dying and living at this time will Provoke aversion; not everyone can Accept Life and Death hanging on the lips; most people like to Avoid it, Unless faced with a dead end.

Shen Yao ate most of the food in her Backpack, then taking advantage of cover took out some Jerky and Biscuits from the space and put them in the Backpack; there's plenty of these things in the space, and every time Shen Yao takes out a Quantity that's not much, compared to the Backpack's capacity it's not Obvious.

The surrounding ground has some dust, but the Clothes on their bodies aren't very Clean either.

Shen Yao simply cleaned up a bit, then used the Backpack as a Pillow under herself, Both Hands placed flat at her sides, and soon fell asleep.

People doing the same Operation as Shen Yao are not few; everyone is very Tired, on the road they didn't Dare sleep too soundly, now that they've arrived here the Danger surely won't be too great, snoring rises and falls, like uncontrollable Noise.

Shen Yao had long Anticipated this would happen; in Advance she used her mental ability to plug her ears, and Conveniently also clasped a mental Barrier around her body; the Main purpose is to Avoid being disturbed by other people while resting; after all, certain people in times of Danger Neglect these things, but encountering this kind of Environment, they can't help reverting to their old trade of petty theft.

Shen Yao slept Comfortably; she had nothing amiss, but other people, lacking Shen Yao's Guard Against capability, didn't lose the more valuable things on them, but quite a few ordinary items at their sides were lost.

Some people started cursing viciously; the words Spoken Out were extremely unpleasant, and where there's one there's two — similar unlucky types are not uncommon; some people specialize in targeting these people, after all they've already committed theft, how can you really expect them to have Conscience.

Shen Yao silently hugged her Backpack tight; the shriveled Backpack has nothing eye-catching; even if she can normally take out food morning, noon, and night every day, who likes Dryly eating Jerky and Biscuits — one look and they lose interest.

Shen Yao just does her own thing; she's Unwilling to leave this Room, and there's also no one blind enough around to come disturb her; just like that eat sleep, sleep eat, until several days later when they were Arranged again by the Officials.

Shen Chengyu shook the key in her hand, indicating this is their Family's Residence; "Big Sister personally picked it, the position is good, and you can see the surrounding Scenery."

Finished speaking, Shen Chengyu also explained their brought luggage has already been delivered to the Residence; the next few days she and Shen Chengning aren't busy and can help organize; as for Shen Chengyi, he's their family's Pillar, the Officials won't let him leave either.

Shen Yao carried her bag and returned Home with Shen Chengyu and them; this is a Silver White Building; gazing from the Distant one could tell this Building is very tall; walking in only discovered it's even more technologized than imagined.

The Room their Family got is on the fiftieth floor; compared to the whole Building's one hundred floors it belongs to the middle position.
