Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

She deposited the crystal core into the "Chaos Spirit Liquid" pool in the space, turned around and walked into the villa, as if the world-destroying scene just now was just the wind and rain outside the window.

The "Survivor Profile" screensaver in the basement automatically switched. The name of Dawn Base was crossed out in red, and a new line of text appeared next to it: "The 17th human settlement destroyed, 2 years since the last one."

She poured herself a glass of spiritual spring water, added a piece of sugar cube that she had stockpiled ten years ago, and sat on the sofa to continue watching "Tom and Jerry".

On the screen, Tom Cat was being fooled around by Jerry, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Ten years was enough for mutant plants to grow in the ruins, enough for the survivors' base to rise and fall, but it was not enough to shake the steel fortress she had built with gold, spiritual springs and supernatural powers.

Lin Weiwei's death did not cause her any ripples - in this apocalypse, the fate of the weak was doomed from the beginning, and she would continue to be the sole owner of this mobile fortress.

The sunlight from outside the window penetrates the amber protective film, casting warm spots of light on the floor.

Meng Qiqi touched the warm jade bracelet on her wrist. The chaotic spiritual liquid in the space was wrapping around the sixth-level crystal core, giving birth to new possibilities.

What kind of zombie tide or survivors will appear in the next decade?

She doesn't know and doesn't care.

As long as the spiritual spring is still there, the space is still full, and the supernatural power is still strong, this villa will be an unsinkable island in the end times, and she will continue her hoarding life as a homegirl in this fortress of steel and concrete until the end of the world.

Rusty Growth Rings: Half a Century of Gilded Vigil

The Lingquan alloy on the villa's exterior wall has solidified into amber-colored giant tree patterns, and every gully bears the traces of ten years of conflict between acid rain and the gilded fire.

Meng Qiqi stood on the roof, her fingertips sliding across the wall. When her gold-type supernatural power penetrated, she no longer felt cold metal, but the rhythm of life like tree bark. The world tree seedling cultivated with sixth-level crystal core and chaos spirit liquid fifty years ago has now grown into a towering giant in her space, its roots penetrating the dimensional barrier and deeply rooted in the core of this apocalyptic land.

The "crystal core reactor" in the basement has long been deactivated, replaced by the "original energy" transmitted by the roots of the world tree.

The holographic screen on the wall shows the key nodes in the past fifty years:

- Year 20: The golden and fire powers merge into the "Creation Flame", which can burn the source of the zombie virus;

- Year 30: The Spirit Spring Space evolves into the "Chaos Realm," where the World Tree breeds the "Seed of Life";

- Year 40: The source of the zombie virus is discovered - the mutated experimental subjects in the underground research institute;

- Year 50: Use the Creation Flame to purify the global zombie virus, and the roots of the World Tree break through the spatial barrier.

She stroked the rings of the World Tree on her wrist, which were integrated with the jade bracelet. The face reflected in the mirror still remained at the age of twenty. Only the golden and red light flowing in her eyes showed the accumulation of half a century.

[Creation Calamity Flame: Burning of the Origin of the Virus]

On the night when the last zombie was eliminated, the world was experiencing the tenth "return of the zombie tide".

Meng Qiqi stood on the former summit of Mount Everest, where she had built a "World-Destroying Altar" using spiritual spring alloy.

She opened her arms, and the dual powers of gold and fire erupted like a tsunami. The flames of creation condensed into a yin-yang fish pattern in her palms, and the blue-purple flames spread along the roots of the World Tree to every corner of the world.

Deep in the underground research institute, the virus matrix soaked in nutrient solution emitted a shrill scream, and countless tentacle-like virus threads tried to break through the earth's crust.

The fire at Meng Qiqi's fingertips suddenly surged and turned into a ten-thousand-foot-long sword, piercing through the earth's crust and piercing the core of the mother body.

When the flames went out, the bodies of all the zombies in the world disintegrated at the same time, turning into ashes and merging into the earth. The stench of decay in the air was replaced by the "life spores" released by the World Tree.

"Ding! The global zombie virus purification is complete, and the roots of the world tree begin to repair the ecosystem." Xiaojiu's voice was calm with a sense of vicissitudes of life.

[World Tree Era: Rebirth of the Dimensional Roots]

Three months later, the first non-mutated dandelion sprouted in front of the villa.

Meng Qiqi squatted down and looked at the tender yellow flower disk. Her golden ability penetrated into the soil and she felt that the roots of the World Tree were continuously supplying pure energy.

On the former ruins, ferns grow in patches, and the mutated animals have lost their ferocity and forage for food docilely in the life field of the World Tree.

She opened the Chaos Realm, and the roots of the World Tree that broke through the space had turned into golden veins, spreading across the continents of the world.

The trunk is inlaid with all the crystal cores she has collected over the past fifty years, each of which emits purified energy. In the hollow at the center of the trunk floats the "seed of the new world" that she nurtured with spiritual spring water and the flames of creation.

The power of the World Tree's pillars:

- Ecological restoration: The "spiritual soil" secreted by the roots covers the desert, regenerating forests and grasslands within three months;

- Energy supply: The treetops absorb cosmic rays and convert them into clean energy, and abandoned cities light up again after a long absence;

- Virus Immunity: Released "Life Spores" form a barrier in the air, completely preventing virus mutation;

- Dimension Anchor: The root system stabilizes the spatial cracks torn by the zombie virus and prevents the invasion of dimensional turbulence.

[Eternal Night Watchman: The Final Chapter of the Hoarder]

The surviving humans built a new civilization around the World Tree. They called this land the "Spirit Spring Era" and revered Meng Qiqi as the "Guardian of Creation."

But she still lives in the metal villa that has merged with the roots of the World Tree. She still maintains the habit of hunting in the early morning (even though there are no zombies anymore), watching TV series in the afternoon, and practicing in the evening. The only difference is that her hunting targets have become mutated plants that destroy the ecology, and her TV series list has been updated to the animated version of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" that she stockpiled during the quick travel.

Lin Weiwei's name has long been forgotten in the dust of history, just like the half piece of bread she fought for back then.

Meng Qiqi would occasionally visit the ruins of the Dawn Base, which was now covered with aerial roots of the World Tree. Purified human skeletons hung on the roots, and each piece was coated with a protective shell of gold power.

Fifty years later, on a snowy night, she stood on the top of the World Tree, looking at the lights of the new human city on the ground, and suddenly felt a warmth coming from the jade bracelet on her wrist.

In the Chaos Realm, the "New World Seed" is cracking under the watering of spiritual springs and calamity flames, revealing the new life curled up inside - not a human, but a "World Tree Spirit" made of pure energy.

"It seems that my stockpiling career will have to include one more item, 'elven rations'." She chuckled, her golden and red eyes twinkling in the night, like the two brightest stars at the top of the World Tree.

End and Rebirth: Epitaph of a Hoarder

Many years later, the new humans erected a blank monument at the root of the World Tree. The monument was made of spiritual spring alloy and the annual rings of the World Tree. When the sun shone on it, flowing pictures would emerge: a girl drove an off-road vehicle to stock up in the apocalypse, burned zombies with flames, ate ice cream and watched TV in a steel fortress, and finally turned into a golden-red light and merged into the World Tree.

At the deepest roots of the World Tree, Meng Qiqi's metal villa was quietly suspended, and the shelves in the basement were filled with stockpiles spanning half a century: unopened Haagen-Dazs, fresh vegetables preserved with spiritual spring water, and weapons forged to the nanoscale... She lay on the anti-gravity sofa, watching the latest projection of "Interstellar", with a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus dumplings cooked with spiritual spring water at her side, and the World Tree rings on her wrist were resonating with the stars in the universe.

For the world she saved with her own hands, she is always the hoarding nerd hiding in the steel fortress. However, this time, her warehouse is the entire earth, her fortress is the towering world tree, and her hoard is enough to support an era - life and hope.
