Cave Refuge

Of course, aside from their enhanced special abilities after evolving, their "edibility" value also continuously increased with their evolution.

For instance, nutritional supplements that originally could only boost a person’s physical condition to the early stage of a Martial Artist from the Body Tempering Realm, once made with purified Bugs Clan as ingredients, could now further enhance the user’s physical condition to the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

The evolution of these unique creatures in each city also signifies that these beings are different from the ancient creatures that appeared during the catastrophe.

The ancient creatures that emerged during the catastrophe, just like those animals living in the wild before it, might have some differences among individuals, but unless they were special mutants, the disparities within the same species were not too significant.

Even though some enormous ancient creatures have appeared worldwide, and even Martial Artists in the Energy Cultivation phase have a hard time killing these creatures, those individuals with tremendous strength are still in the minority.

The survivors encounter more of the ancient creatures with moderate strength, and these creatures still possess mortal flesh. Based on the size of these creatures, the survivors could kill them using firearms of different models.

So far, the appearance of ancient creatures, to the survivors, is less of a catastrophe and more like a special provision of food, as if heaven saw that the survivors had not eaten meat for a long time and decided to prepare it for them specially.

It’s just a pity that many survivors did not notice that due to their size, these ancient creatures breathe in a higher proportion of air relative to the same time frame, meaning they can absorb more Spirit Energy into their bodies in the same period compared to the survivors.

Those ancient creatures that appeared during the catastrophe have begun a collective evolution carnival unbeknownst to all the survivors.

Of course, at this time, the three people enjoying a feast inside the house were oblivious to this, discussing the recent changes in the camp while drinking.

Of course, it was mainly Madeline talking, with Robinson William occasionally chipping in, and Zachary as the pure listener.

"Zachary, don’t bring too much perfume this time, just ten or eight small bottles like you normally pack will do, and of course, prepare some trial-sized perfumes as well. You should know what they’re for," said Madeline.

"Don’t worry about that; it’s a piece of cake for me," replied Zachary.

"I don’t mean you should prepare them for free. Name what you want, but don’t refuse right away. It won’t be using my stuff to compensate you. Instead, it will come from the reserves in the camp’s warehouse. Don’t miss out on it; don’t be thrifty. Your thriftiness won’t affect me," Madeline explained.

Hearing Madeline’s words, Zachary clearly understood her intentions. However, after thinking it through, he realized he didn’t lack anything in particular. Yet, not wanting to miss out, he eventually spoke up, "Get me some powerful weapons, then. I don’t really need anything else."

Upon hearing Zachary’s request, Madeline turned to face Robinson William. As the only head of the camp’s violent enforcement department, Robinson William was most clear about the camp’s weapon storage situation.

"Because everyone has generally started cultivating, firearms are rarely used. Although our camp has lost the direct supply channel from the Officials, we have wisely obtained a variety of weapons from different sources in advance.

So, the inventory of firearms in the camp is quite substantial. You can choose which type of weapons you’d like, but you can only exchange personal firearms. If you want to swap for larger weapons, you need to gather others for a vote, and the whole process is quite complicated," explained Robinson William.
