Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

A plain area.

"Ye Ming, how are the preparations going?" In a spacious room, there was a long mahogany table, with 11 mahogany chairs with backrests neatly arranged around it.

The speaker was sitting in the first chair on the left side of the long table. He had some gray hair at his temples, a square face, and a commanding presence.

"Old Su, everything is ready. Shall we release the news now?"

The old man shook his head. "No rush. The survivors are probably busy improving their shelters right now. Releasing the news now won't be effective."

There's only one Golden Broadcast Card, and you only get one chance to use it; you must use it at the most opportune moment.

Ye Ming frowned and slowly asked, "The most suitable time? You mean before and after the items in the Deep Blue Zone refresh?"

"Hahaha, Ye Ming, I knew I hadn't misjudged you, kid."

Back then, most people would activate their bracelets and guard the Mist Shop. At that time, using the Metal Broadcast Card would allow us to spread our messages to the maximum extent possible.

"Mmm!" Ye Ming nodded emphatically.

Looking at the empty chair in front of him, the old man sighed deeply, "Is there still no news from Elder Zhong and Elder Zhang?"

Ye Ming gently shook his head, then slowly said, "We leave secret codes in the videos we post on short video platforms. Recently, we've also left our secret codes in the comment sections of many videos with high view counts. If Elder Zhong and Elder Zhang see them, they will definitely contact us."

Old Su raised his head and looked quietly at the ceiling, his deep eyes revealing deep worry.

"Let's wait and see. If there's still no news after the golden broadcast card is broadcast, then there's reason to believe that they... may have met with misfortune."

"Elder Su, I have a bold guess, but I don't know..."

The old man turned to look at Ye Ming and said slowly, "Ye Ming, you don't need to be so coy with me. You were with me in the original world, and I know your character better than anyone. Speak your mind!"

Old Master Su always held Ye Ming in high regard.

Back in the original world, Su Zhenguo was a powerful figure in the Great Xia government, a pillar of stability.

Ye Ming, from a poor family, dropped out of school at a young age and joined the army by chance.

After enlisting, he relied on his outstanding skills to rise from a common soldier to a top special forces soldier, making countless contributions.

Later, he was noticed by Elder Su during a military exercise and kept by his side, becoming Elder Su's bodyguard.

He did his best in everything he was asked to do, and always completed the tasks very well.

He made outstanding contributions in many major events and was soon awarded the rank of Major General, becoming the youngest Major General in the Great Xia Dynasty in nearly a hundred years.

After transmigrating to the Misty World, Ye Ming developed his shelter while keeping an eye on Elder Su's whereabouts.

Later, with the help of the golden megaphone, they used the pretext of purchasing supplies to send out the coded message, successfully attracting Old Master Su's attention.

After acquiring the shelter teleportation array orb, Ye Ming went to Elder Su's place.

Despite being over fifty, Su Lao's survival skills are unparalleled. Before Ye Ming arrived, he had already upgraded the shelter to level three on his own.

Then, the two of them contacted several other big shots one after another.

Now everyone is gathered here to discuss development in the name of the Great Xia government.

"Old Su, I have a feeling... that Old Zhong and Old Zhang might have fallen into the hands of people from other countries."

According to our recent information, other countries are also creating gathering places.

Those people from the US and those little idiots from the Sun Country have repeatedly driven up the prices for us in auctions of goods in the Deep Blue Zone.

The comment sections of videos on short video platforms have also been subjected to malicious spamming.

"Elder Zhong and Elder Zhang are the leading technical experts in our Great Xia. If this falls into their hands, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Are you worried they might betray the country?

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare, it's just that those people's methods are too cruel..."

"Hahaha, don't be afraid, I don't blame you. Your worries are not unfounded."

First of all, from a personal perspective, I don't believe they would betray the Great Xia, not even with a knife to their throats.

However, this is, after all, a world shrouded in mist, so there's no guarantee that some strange and unusual items won't appear.

Therefore, we must intensify our efforts to find the whereabouts of these two comrades.

Go! "

"Yes!"

After Ye Ming left, Old Su leaned back in his chair and muttered to himself, "Where are you two old brothers?"

……

Mo Ming's side.

Mo Ming led Song Yufei to the place where they had fought the giant tiger.

Looking at the dilapidated pine forest before him, Mo Ming felt a pang of heartache; this was all money at stake.

"It's a pity. Before we could even achieve freedom to eat wild game, half of the pine forest was destroyed," Song Yufei said with a sigh.

"Wild game? Damn, my trap..."

Suddenly, he remembered that he had just set 10 traps in the pine forest before the giant tiger came, and he wondered how many were left.

Mo Ming quickly ran inside and began searching one by one according to the locations he remembered.

After a while, Mo Ming felt somewhat disappointed.

Of the 10 traps, 7 were destroyed, and the remaining 3 were completely empty, showing no signs of wild animals ever having been there.

Forget about traps, even the remaining acre of pine forest was unusually quiet, with very few birdsong heard, let alone wild boars.

It seems that the surrounding wild animals have been frightened by the giant tiger and fled the area, and they are unlikely to return anytime soon.

Mo Ming decided to put away the remaining three traps and try his luck in the forest where he used to cut down trees.

After leaving the pine forest, Song Yufei couldn't wait to return to the shelter. She had already decided which pet she wanted to upgrade.

The thought of soon owning a deep blue-level pet filled her with uncontrollable excitement.

Mo Ming, meanwhile, busied himself with the newly acquired planting base.

The planting base was very large and was located north of the shelter. Mo Ming had even meticulously divided it up.

[Paddy Field District]

[Grains Section]

[Vegetable Section]

Fruit Section

Zizhu District

Rubber Zone

Then all the crops were moved inside.

The greenhouse was inexplicably dismantled, and the materials were recycled.

Greenhouses are meant to keep the air warm, but now that the weather is warmer, their function is almost negligible.

To prevent wild animals from ruining the food, Mo Ming specifically had the Golden Horned Longhorn Beetle family move there.

Little Gold will also patrol in the air.

Perhaps because they are both vegetarians, the white-striped antelope, Xiaobai, prefers to stay with the golden-horned longhorn beetle family and moved there as well.

What puzzled Mo Ming was that the giant man-eating plants had been acting strangely lately.

Since their battle with the giant tiger, they have all gone into hibernation.

They neither moved nor ate, remaining rooted to the side of the Momin Shelter.

Its mouth, filled with sharp teeth, was tightly closed, its enormous head drooped, and all the vines had retracted into its body.

Then it just stood there, completely baffling.

"Did they eat too much and get too full?"
