My neighborhood has time-traveled.

"You've got a death wish! How dare you bite me!"

Zhao Meng shoved the fish's eyeball hard, causing it to burst open and black liquid to spray out.

Once the fish released its grip, he slammed it onto the ground and stomped on it hard.

The fish was trampled so hard that half of its body was buried in the soil, with only its mouth still opening and closing slightly.

Everyone gathered around.

"Big brother, it looks like a piranha." The blond guy poked the fish's teeth with his machete, not quite sure.

The fish trampled into the ground was larger than the palm of a hand, its scales adorned with fiery red patterns, a small horn on its forehead, and teeth resembling sharp triangles, which were now slightly opening and closing.

He remembered this fish with its mouth full of sharp teeth; it looked a lot like a piranha.

"Who cares what kind of fish it is!"

Zhao Meng chopped the fish's head open with his sword, took out a rice-grain-sized evolution stone, and threw it into his mouth.

"What are you all standing there for? Keep moving the stones!" Zhao Meng glanced at everyone and urged them.

Everyone immediately got to work, first moving the stones over, and to avoid breaking the plastic pipes, gently stuffing them into the wooden fence and wedging them in the gaps, so that the stones would slowly pile up.

Once the mound reached the water level, soil was transported over and used to fill it in.

More than a hundred people, like an ant colony, were busy going back and forth.

Seeing that everyone was busy with their work and not paying attention to what was happening here, Zhao Meng turned around and looked back, then touched his butt. "Damn, that really hurts."

the other side.

The alienated middle-aged man led a group of Huang family members into the jungle.

Today, they are also unwilling to stay in the same place as Shuguang and the property management.

"Let's look around this area first, don't go too far," the middle-aged man instructed.

The group dispersed, each searching for resources.

"There are so many trees here, and they're all laden with fruit," someone shouted.

The crowd gathered around and discovered a large patch of trees, each over five meters tall, with green fruits growing at their tops.

"Hurry up and pick them."

Someone climbed the tree.

Some people complained that the trees were too tall to reach, so they simply swung their machetes and chopped at the thickest trees, making a clanging sound like they were hitting steel.

"So hard!" he thought to himself in surprise.

Touching the tree trunk, I found that only the outer layer of old bark had peeled off, and the new bark inside was layered like snake scales, without any trace of being cut.

Then someone else swung their knife forcefully, and the knife was knocked away.

"Look everyone, this tree is so hard, is it ironwood?"

"Who cares if it's ironwood or not, let's pick the fruit first."

"Yes, hurry up and pick them before they find out."

The group ignored the trees and climbed up one by one to quickly pick the green fruit.

As the middle-aged man watched the fruits being packed into bags, he reminded everyone, "Don't eat them yet. Feed them to the birds and pets first. If they're fine with it, then we can try them."

.........

"Since they went in those two directions, we'll go this way."

Liu Xueqin led the property management team into a small valley.

The area is lush with vegetation, colorful flowers, and butterflies of all colors flutter in the air.

Like a butterfly's revelry.

"So many beautiful butterflies!" Everyone was captivated by the beautiful scenery.

"Everyone be careful, these butterflies are poisonous. Inhaling their powder can cause hallucinations," Liu Xueqin quickly warned.

Someone had already told her that they had been poisoned by this butterfly, so she had to be careful.

Liu Xueqin's husband told her, "This butterfly is very big, its meat is edible, and it also has evolution stones, so it's at least easier to catch than other mutated insects."

"It's too dangerous. Let's look for other wild fruits first."

Liu Xueqin mobilized everyone to search for edible things in the valley.

After searching around without finding it, I couldn't help but look at the butterflies again.

As her husband said, these butterflies were indeed large, and their flesh was edible.

She counted them briefly and found that there were at least a hundred butterflies. If she caught them all, there would be enough for them to share.

Liu Xueqin thought for a moment, then looked at everyone and asked, "Who among you can hold their breath?"

"I can."

Several boys and girls reached out their hands.

Liu Xueqin told the group, "You'll hold your breath. Pinch your noses, don't breathe, and get closer quickly."

the other side.

Wang Hao led some of the Dawn team back to the yam patch from yesterday to continue digging for yams.

The yam forest covers a very large area; even if hundreds of people are mobilized, they will only occupy a portion of the yam forest.

A small number of people chose to catch the mutated rats.

After all, yams don't have evolution stones.

Only mutated mice can obtain evolution stones.

This group of people were mainly after the evolution stones, and they had already consumed them, hoping to use them to quickly become stronger.

They all witnessed Li Hao breaking Huang Jingchen's arm, a member of the Huang family who had undergone a mutation. Even those who didn't see it yesterday heard about it from others.

Everyone knows that Li Hao initially collected a lot of evolution stones and consumed them to gain such powerful strength.

Li Hao is now a role model, giving everyone hope.

He felt that as long as he kept consuming evolution stones, he could also reach his level of strength.

A man pulled a bottle of gasoline and a strip of cloth from his backpack. "You little brats, let me show you what I'm capable of."

He poured gasoline on the strip of cloth, lit it with a lighter, and then quickly extinguished the flames, causing a large amount of smoke to rise from the cloth.

"Go on."

He stuffed the wooden stick into a mouse hole.

On the other side, Li Hao and Li Wen, along with the others, used the same method to stuff smoking strips of cloth into the cave.

Before long, black and white smoke began to billow from the entire ground, especially from the small slopes at higher elevations and from every rat hole.

Smoke was also seen emanating from some rat holes hidden in the grass or crevices of rocks, even though they weren't stuffed with strips of cloth. This was because of the underground connections.

"Squeak!"

A mouse, unable to withstand the smoke, suddenly darted out of its burrow and was stomped on by Li Hao, letting out a shriek.

"puff."

With a swift stroke, the rat's head was severed.

He cleaved the rat's head open with a knife, took out the evolution stone, and threw it into his mouth.

A surge of heat quickly spread throughout my body.

Feeling completely refreshed.

"Come quick, everyone! There's a huge rat here!"

Someone shouted from not far away.

When Li Hao and Li Wen looked over, they saw a mutated rat the size of a wolfhound dart out of a patch of grass.

"Brother, could that be the Rat King?!" Li Wen shouted excitedly.

···········

Zhao Meng built a dam in the river, allowing people to walk on it.

The river was blocked, and the water level downstream began to drop noticeably.

Many of the younger brothers and sisters were so tired that they sat down on the spot or took out the bottled water and food they had brought with them and started eating.

Several boys gathered together and smoked.

"Get up, get up! You think it'll be over so quickly? Come with me."

Zhao Meng led the group to a point about 100 meters downstream from the river.

He urged the lax group, "Hurry up, get to work, we need to build a dam here too."

Two river-blocking dams provide double protection.

This way, the fish in the middle part can be completely left inside before the water dries up.

On the Huang family's side.

The sun shone brightly, illuminating a patch of green trees laden with green fruit, and people climbed the trees to pick them.

"Ah! A snake!"

A snake's head emerged from a tree branch and bit a person's arm.

"what!"

A scream came from another tree.

"The trees are full of snakes!"

"Die!"

The alienated middle-aged man brandished a machete and slashed at the vital spot of a green snake.

"bite."

A crisp sound rang out as a snake, as thick as a child's arm, was struck and fell to the ground below the tree.

"Come down! Don't pick it anymore!"

The middle-aged man shouted.

He hurriedly jumped down from the tree, and the snake that had just fallen darted over to bite him. "Clang clang clang," he slashed at it dozens of times before breaking its scales, and then slashed it more than a dozen times before cutting it in two. Its body was still wriggling.

"What kind of strange snake is this? Its scales are so hard."

Keep in mind that he is now a mutant with a strength of several hundred kilograms, yet he is struggling so much to deal with such a small snake.

He put the green snake into the bag, and when he looked up, the trees were covered with green and brown snakes.

The green snake is the same color as the leaves.

The snake was brown, the same color as the tree trunk.

If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to tell at all.

Moreover, these snakes remain motionless and only attack when people approach.

At this moment, one by one, the snake heads rose up, as if a tree was covered with snake heads, shaking incessantly, which looked quite terrifying.

the other side.

Liu Xueqin and her group, pinching their noses, ran over to catch butterflies.

Some people covered their mouths and noses with their clothes.

Someone cut down a bamboo stalk from the side and used the long, thin bamboo to swat the butterflies.

The butterfly was knocked to the ground.

The fluorescent powder detached and dispersed in the air, drifting with the wind.
