Freeze the entire population, activate my Superman system?

Hearing Wang Can's loud and boisterous voice, the men around him couldn't help but prick up their ears.

If time travel has already happened, it's not surprising that a super-powerful pill has appeared.

Ling Shuang quietly absorbed the energy from the second crystal and casually replied,

"Brother Wang, you never beat me in an arm wrestling match before."

Now that I'm in this world, my body has probably changed again.

Wang Can gave an awkward laugh.

Ling Shuang is right.

Despite his massive muscle mass, he was no match for Ling Shuang in their contests, whether it was arm wrestling or high jump for the ball.

Just then, an untimely voice rang out.

"Director Guo, this blackfish has so much meat, could everyone here share some?"

"We just helped rescue a student; everyone participated."

A man with a Mediterranean-style haircut slowly walked out from the crowd.

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

But no one refuted it.

At times like these, who wouldn't want an extra portion of food?

Fortunately, there are people who are willing to put aside their pride.

Guo Kuoshan frowned.

If it weren't for Wang Can and Ling Shuang, this male student would definitely not have survived.

When it's absolutely safe, how much effort does it take to throw a lifebuoy and rope?

Moreover, given the terrifying power Ling Shuang just displayed and Zhang Mu's first aid skills, Guo Kuoshan could never possibly stand against them.

The Mediterranean man felt somewhat ashamed by the quiet atmosphere and Guo Kuoshan's serious gaze, but he still gritted his teeth and looked away.

Today, he must take some fish home!

Just as Guo Kuoshan was about to refuse, Wang Can, who was stretching his muscles nearby, suddenly spoke up.

"Director Guo, these fish have mutated, so they might not be safe to eat. It's best to let President Ling handle them himself."

As for the homeowner who just helped rescue people, I just caught a whole boxful. Come on, everyone take one.

After saying that, Wang Can opened the lid of the fishing box, turned the whole box upside down, and poured all the fish inside onto the stone slab.

Guo Kuoshan swallowed back his words about playing the villain and nodded at Wang Can.

"Thank you, Brother Wang Can. The management office will give you two bags of rice as a subsidy. I'll arrange for someone to deliver them to your door later."

Wang Can scratched his head and laughed.

"That's great, I'm tired of eating fish."

Along with the Mediterranean man who stepped forward, there were seven or eight men involved in the rescue.

Their gazes lingered between Wang Can's box of upturned fish and the mutated blackfish.

"Mr. Wang is very generous."

After the first person stepped forward, the others swarmed over to make their selections.

Wang Can's words also make a lot of sense; there's no point in even thinking about putting normal fish together with this strange fish.

Given a choice, who would be willing to take the risk?

If you accidentally kill your family members with this food, it will be too late to regret it.

As for the Mediterranean man, he picked up one with a face full of shame, whispered a thank you, and hurriedly left.

The rescued male student, Jiang Xiaobei, after being told what had happened, weakly stood up, walked to Wang Can and Ling Shuang's side, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said...

"Brother Wang, Brother Ling, thank you for saving my life. From now on, if you say east, I, Jiang Xiaobei, will never say west."

Ling Shuang was amused by his posture.

"Brother, how come you're all so loyal and righteous? Now the whole neighborhood is one family."

The death of any one person is a huge loss.

If you encounter a similar situation in the future, remember to lend a hand within your ability.

Jiang Xiaobei stared at him blankly.

"Okay, Brother Ling, I understand."

Ling Shuang hooked the fish's gills with one hand and tried to lift it up, but her expression darkened.

So heavy?

The bone density of this strange fish appears to be terrifyingly high.

Ling Shuang's left palm's special energy failed her at this moment, as if it had entered a dormant state.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ling Shuang nonchalantly switched to dragging Zhang Mu and the others straight towards her home.

Seeing that no one was around, Wang Can then said apologetically,

"Xiao Ling, don't blame me for taking it upon myself to make this decision."

Ling Shuang stared at him in astonishment.

"Brother Wang, you've been forced to take the lead and will get scolded by your wife, but how could I blame you?"

Besides, that guy probably had no food at home, but he meant well.

Now it was Wang Can's turn to be surprised.

"You noticed it too?"

Ling Shuang nodded.

He hesitated for a long time before stepping forward. Judging from his brand-name clothes, he was at least middle class or above.

It's only the second day of the apocalypse. If it weren't for the food shortage, people wouldn't be in this situation just for a little fish and meat.

And he was soaking wet; he had just gone into the water to rescue someone.

Wang Can sighed.

"It means that a man values ​​his reputation, and he won't do it unless absolutely necessary..."

Soon, the three of them returned to Ling Shuang's row house courtyard.

Wang Can picked some small potatoes and pumpkins from the field, and Ling Shuang also let him carry a bag of rice.

"Brother Wang, just tell your wife you got it from fishing. Who knows, she might be so happy she'll give you a second child."

As a result, Wang Can turned pale with fright.

"No, no, no, I'm already afraid she'll pull my belt, and now I'm even less likely to have a child."

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to say anything more. I'm leaving now, or my wife will be furious at home. Let's talk next time!"

After watching Wang Can leave, Ling Shuang fell silent for a moment.

Yes,

Are they the only remaining human species?

Without the conditions to reproduce, without the conditions to survive

they,

Will they become completely extinct?

He turned to look at Dr. Zhang and found that the other had already started tinkering with wood to make fire.

Ling Shuang said with a wry smile,

"What are you doing? Aren't there still a few portable gas stoves left from lunchtime?"

Zhang Mu said without turning his head.

"Can't you have a little sense of crisis? If you eat two more meals tomorrow, there won't be any left."

Ling Shuang sighed.

"Dr. Zhang, don't you have enough achievement points?"

Just exchange it for a heating stove!

Whether it's electricity, gas, or fire, borrowing some to cook shouldn't be a problem.

Zhang Mu's hand, which was drilling wood shavings, suddenly froze.

"Oh right, I saved someone, I have 600 achievement points."

"Change! Change, change, change!"

The two entered the living room, and after Zhang Mu confirmed the exchange option, a soft halo spread out from the center.

When the light faded, a metal furnace, about half a person's height, appeared out of thin air on the floor tiles.

Its shape is simple and rustic, somewhat like an old-fashioned cast iron stove, but its surface is covered with patterns that Ling Shuang cannot understand.

A pale blue flame had already ignited inside the stove. There was no smoke or smell, only a dry warmth that filled the entire living room in just a few seconds.

"So...the heating's on already?"

Zhang Mu leaned closer and reached out to touch it; his palm felt warm and cozy.

"Damn, it consumes firewood pretty quickly. I'll have to go cut down some trees in the green belt tomorrow."

Ling Shuang didn't rush to study the stove. Instead, she quickly walked to the door of the row house, opened it, and felt the outdoor temperature.

The temperature in the neighborhood hasn't changed much from before; it's neither too hot nor too cold, around ten degrees Celsius.

But the thermometer in the living room has climbed from 14°C to 21°C, and it's still rising.

"I reckon this isn't just a simple heating device." Ling Shuang tapped on the stove. "It's the core of the territory."

He stuck an A4 sheet of paper into the hearth, and sure enough, it ignited immediately.

"We have enough fire!"

Zhang Mu said excitedly,

"Furthermore, I redeemed my first building, completed another achievement, and gained 200 achievement points."

The feeling of seeing hope in the end times is wonderful.

After studying the heating stove, the two processed the black carp they had caught during the day, marinating and hanging the fish meat.

By the time I finished all that, it was completely dark.

The white mist above the dome shimmered with an eerie blue hue in the night, like a thin layer of ice covering the entire sky.

There is no electricity, no internet, and no cell phone signal.

Ling Shuang took out a few candles that were kept in the study and lit them in the living room.

In the flickering candlelight, Zhang Mu's lord panel glowed with a faint blue light, hovering in mid-air.

"Let me see what other achievements I can grind for..." Zhang Mu scrolled down one by one.

[Unity is Strength]: Gather 5 or more survivors to form a team - To be completed, reward 300 achievement points.

At this stage, there don't seem to be any new achievement tasks.

Zhang Mu yawned: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm so sleepy."

After learning that a water purifier could be exchanged, the two did not particularly conserve water.

After a quick wash, I took a blanket and laid it directly next to the heating stove.

The terraced houses are equipped with perimeter alarm systems powered by batteries, so there is no need to worry about people approaching at night.

At this moment, Zhang Mu stuffed two kitchen knives under his pillow.

"Are you serious?" Ling Shuang looked at his posture, which seemed ready for battle at any moment.

"What do you know? The first rule of survival in the apocalypse is to always have your weapons with you."

Zhang Mu said matter-of-factly, "You can't even use that iron rod as a pillow."

Ling Shuang ignored him, turned off the candles, and lay down.

The heat from the heating furnace slowly spread up the floor and walls, making the whole house warm and cozy.

Ling Shuang closed her eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Midnight,

A chill that surged from the depths of her bones jolted Ling Shuang awake from her sleep, triggering her instinctive alertness!
