The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

This thing looks like a finely processed swim bladder from some kind of fish.

At one of the apex of the pouch, a slender green seaweed was tied.

At first glance, it looks like a bag for carrying things.

Xiao Ming used the tip of his knife to push aside the seaweed and shook the bag.

Wow~

A series of items spilled out of the bag and onto the table beside it.

Bottles and jars made of bone fragments, strange stones, plants, seashells and all sorts of things... were piled up in a small heap.

"So many things?" Vice President Zhao was somewhat surprised. "This bag doesn't look very big."

"There's something strange about this fish bladder." Han Ning took the semi-transparent bag from Xiao Ming. It felt smooth, cool, and elastic to the touch.

He tried to reach inside and found that the interior space was much larger than it appeared from the outside, enough to hold about half a cubic meter of items, but the weight would add up.

"Interesting. It looks like some kind of space compression technology, or... the tissues and organs of a supernatural being?"

Everyone's attention was quickly drawn to the items on the table.

"This is..." Chairman Wu picked up a fishbone container about the size of a wine glass, shook it gently, and heard the sound of liquid sloshing inside.

These fishbone containers are roughly polished, with irregular shapes on the outside, and the openings are sealed with some peculiar seaweed.

He carefully peeled away the seaweed at the top.

An extremely pungent smell, with a strong, fishy, ​​and salty odor, filled the air.

However, upon smelling this scent, the awakened individuals present, including Han Ning, all felt as if a slightly violent energy swept over their bodies, bringing a sense of power.

"The liquid inside... seems to stimulate energy?" Lin Qianqian felt the energy fluctuations within her body, somewhat uncertain.

"But something doesn't feel right." Han Ning frowned.

From the viscous, dark green liquid inside the bone vial, wisps of extremely faint black mist were escaping.

"This stuff is contaminated by the Kuroshio Current, handle it with care."

Upon hearing this, Chairman Wu's expression turned serious, and he carefully stuffed the seaweed back into the container.

Then, Vice President Zhao picked up a uniquely shaped conch shell.

This conch shell isn't the one the water monkey was blowing just now.

The conch is entirely blue with spiral patterns on its surface, and is just the right size to hold in the palm of your hand.

"What is this thing again?" Vice President Zhao examined it from all angles.

He wanted to imitate the water monkey and put it to his mouth to make a sound.

But gave up again.

They were worried that the noise would attract other water monkeys.

Han Ning continued to examine the other items.

A fruit the size of a fist, dark green to black in color, with strange patterns covering its surface.

It's worth mentioning that the aura emanating from the fruit was very similar to the violent aura emanating from the fishbone bottle.

The aura of the Kuroshio Current is also very strong.

It just lacks the condensation found in the bottle.

Several bundles of fragrant, unidentified aquatic plants.

Minced meat made from a certain type of fish.

Some energy crystals are rich in energy.

There were also some sharp scales and pointed bone spikes, which seemed to be materials for making tools or weapons.

"Look at these items..."

Chairman Wu picked up the bone-spur tools, his brow furrowed.

"These water monkeys are definitely beyond the category of wild beasts. They possess considerable intelligence and know how to use tools. Look above, there are even characters that are more advanced than those of the black snakes."

He put down the map, his gaze sweeping over the grotesque corpse of the water monkey, his tone heavy:

"The most troublesome thing is that they are clearly hostile towards us. This time it was just a small team, but if they find that their companions are missing, the subsequent retaliation..."

Chairman Wu didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

A single water monkey can control sharks and command strange fish; its individual strength and command ability are quite formidable.

If it weren't for their significant improvement in strength, coupled with the suppressive firepower of the squirrel, and most importantly, Han Ning's killing of the leader of the water monkeys...

They were all wiped out long ago.

If a group of them were to arrive, or even if there were an even more powerful force behind them... Biyun Resort has just experienced the onslaught of the Black Serpent Monster horde and has now encountered extreme weather; it simply cannot withstand any further storms.

Han Ning picked up the grayish-white conch shell, fiddled with it for a few moments, and said:

"It's time to prepare for evacuation. If we wait any longer, this office building will just be an island about to be submerged by the flood."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious, and Vice President Zhao couldn't help but ask:

"Then... Mr. Han, where should we run to?"

"The north is already occupied by a large number of black serpent monsters, and the water monkeys are closing in from the south. Where can we go..."

Chapter 142 New Challenges

Although some "treasures" were discovered on the water monkeys.

But everyone's enthusiasm remained low.

The more we discover, the more hopeless the world seems.

They might be able to outmaneuver monsters with their low intelligence using human wisdom.

But now, more advanced monsters with a certain level of intelligence have appeared.

Their advantage as humans is diminishing.

In addition, natural disasters have been rampant, gradually shrinking their living space.

Everyone present, including ordinary people, understood this principle.

For a moment, silence fell over the room.

A faint sense of despair permeated everyone's heart.

"I'll figure something out, Chairman Wu. Have someone thoroughly examine the corpses of these water monkeys, organize the supplies, and be ready to evacuate at any time!"

Han Ning had no intention of comforting these people. He said something to Chairman Wu and turned to leave.

"I will handle it!"

Chairman Wu nodded, then his expression turned serious. He looked around at everyone and said in a low voice:

"Get yourselves together! Have you forgotten our goal? Live well!"

"Old Zhao, take your men and go continue sorting out the supplies."

"Ah Long, keep an eye on the boat."

"..."

...

"Old Xu, you go check the boats too."

"And Professor Ye, organize all the crops we've researched, and be ready to evacuate at any time."

After leaving the area where the Azure Cloud Awakeners Association was gathered, Han Ning spoke to his two subordinates.

"Okay!" The two nodded earnestly.

Han Ning found a house, sat down against the corner of the wall, and began to connect with nature.

The wall became a medium connecting to the earth, and his spiritual will spread downwards.

"Does a safe place exist in this world? What is the route to safety? Where exactly is the 'center of the world' that the natives speak of?"

He asked a series of questions, curious about how the will of nature would answer him.

After a brief silence, an indescribable and vast will descended.

Han Ning's mental perception was instantly elevated, freeing him from the constraints of his physical body.

He first "saw" his own body leaning against the corner of the wall, his vision rapidly rising, penetrating the ceiling of the office building, penetrating the thick, leaden-gray clouds, and reaching above the clouds.

What I saw before me was not a clear starry sky, but a depressing scene.

Countless writhing black wisps of mist shrouded the area above the clouds, exuding an unsettling aura of deathly stillness.

The black mist that obscured the view was diluted by an invisible force, and the view became clear.

The perspective shifted to an overhead view.

Islands are scattered across the ocean like stars in the sky.

The area where he was located was a huge island, most of which was submerged by the boundless sea.

The island's size far exceeded his expectations; its vastness was almost comparable to a small continent before his transmigration.

However, the island does not have any particularly high peaks; the average height of the peaks is about the same.

The ruins of Egret City where they were located were just a small dot on the southern part of a huge island.

The field of vision continued to be raised.

Beyond the raging, inky ocean, the outline of an even more vast and boundless continent appears on the horizon.

The mainland is dotted with mountains, rivers, forests, grasslands, lakes... lush and vibrant, full of wild and untamed spirit.

Towering trees rise from the ground, and ferocious beasts walk and fight among the mountains. With a wave of their hands, they can tear trees apart, shatter mountains, and stir up towering waves.

In the central region of the continent, humanoid figures can be vaguely seen moving about.

They initially built simple huts, like a primitive tribe.
