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

Under Mo Ming's instructions, Meng Ling flew towards the shelter at top speed.

After Mengling left, the things on the ground inexplicably raised their heads and looked up at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

Back at the shelter, Mo Ming was still shaken by what had just happened.

A long, narrow, and deep crack suddenly opened up on the ground like the gaping maw of a monster.

Normally, if he encountered Mo Ming, he would be shocked and curious, but not so afraid. However, this crack is strangely similar to the one in Mo Ming's nightmare a while ago.

The more Mo Ming recalled, the more it seemed to be true, and the more it seemed to be true, the more frightened he became.

Moreover, and most importantly, two creatures crawled out of that crack—yes, they crawled out!

However, due to the distance, Mo Ming could not see their appearance clearly, but he could vaguely see that after they climbed up, they seemed to be standing on two legs!

Mo Ming wasn't sure either, after all, his mind was filled with fear at the time.

Is the scene in my dream about to become reality?

Or... is a mysterious guest about to make an appearance?

Mo Ming stopped thinking about it; if he did, the Emperor Crocodile would crawl out.

Afterwards, Mo Ming sent messages to Liu Heng, Song Yufei, and Lu Mingyu, informing them of the discovery of the unknown creature and the huge rift, omitting the part about the Spirit Dream Whale.

Firstly, it was to remind these friends with whom he got along quite well, and secondly, Mo Ming wanted to confirm whether the huge crack and unknown creatures were only appearing in his area.

If others also discover similar situations, that would be good, as it would confirm that they are mysterious "guests" targeting the survivors.

But if it only appears here, then the nature of the situation is completely different.

Mo Ming has reason to suspect that it is related to that emperor crocodile from back then.

If I remember correctly, the Emperor Crocodile's talent is called Alligator Kill, and its function is to create abyssal terror.

That very night, while I was sleeping, I dreamt of it, and of that bottomless abyss.

And now, the enormous rift from my dream has miraculously appeared in reality.

Is it really possible for such a coincidence?

Mo Ming didn't believe it.

Next, Mo Ming searched for the keyword "crack" on short video platforms, but found no results.

Searching for "abyss" yielded no results.

Searching for "mysterious person" still yielded no results.

Mo Ming was disappointed. Could it really be targeting him alone?

Without delay, Mo Ming quickly went to the Mist Shop and bought several Shelter Relocation Scrolls, just in case.

Using a shelter migration scroll requires entering specific coordinates. Afterward, the shelter, along with all industries, facilities, and creatures within the shelter's territory, will be migrated there.

Mo Ming was quite satisfied with this, at least he didn't have to give up the "empire" he had worked so hard to build, he just had to continue developing in a different place.

But how do I get the coordinates?

We can't just lose any one of them, can we? What if they migrate to the desert, the ocean, or the fog...?

I wonder if the Mist Shop sells maps? I'll check back tonight when the shop refreshes!

If all else fails, move in the opposite direction of the crack; get as far away as you can!

Just as Mo Ming was thinking about how to escape, several messages were sent out in Old Su's group.

The group is in a muted state, and only the group owner, Su Zhenguo, can send messages.

Su Zhenguo: Fellow countrymen, our people discovered a strange creature dozens of kilometers away from the shelter today. We have reason to suspect that it is the mysterious guest mentioned in the [Mist Announcement].

Su Zhenguo: Our people took a picture from a distance, and I'll post it below for everyone to see.

Su Zhenguo: Image.png

The image is a bit blurry, probably due to the distance, but one thing is clear: the mysterious creature walks upright.

Moreover, there seemed to be two protrusions on the top of its head, like horns.

Seeing this, Mo Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had worried too much. What he had just seen should have been the mysterious guest mentioned in the Mist Announcement.

I wonder what kind of power this mysterious guest possesses?

It shouldn't be too outrageous. If everyone were like Horn, what would be the point? We'd all just die together!

However, a message from Su Zhenguo immediately perked Mo Ming up.

Su Zhenguo: I created a table in the group files. If anyone has any relevant clues, or has also discovered similar situations in the area around the shelter, please register them in the table. Then we can discuss how to deal with it together.

How to deal with it!

Mo Ming was immediately drawn in. Su Zhenguo truly lived up to his reputation as a powerful figure; his skills and vision were both top-notch.

Since they can represent the government, it means their gathering place must be quite large and contain many capable people. They must have already implemented some emergency measures, so self-preservation should not be a problem.

However, he still called on everyone in the group to discuss the issue together, firstly to reassure the individual survivors, and secondly to tell them that if there were any problems, they could solve them together and that they would not be fighting alone.

Secondly, it also allows us to gather more information about the mysterious guest and the ideas of more survivors. With many people involved, there will be a wide variety of ideas, and who knows, we might come up with a solution with the least risk!

People are united, information is gathered, and brainstorming sessions are underway...

Most importantly, no matter what their purpose is, you can't find fault with them. You might not be grateful, but you should at least give them a thumbs up.

I give this move a perfect score. You're never too old to learn, and now I've suddenly gained some new insights.

Opening the form named "Mystery Guest" in the group files, I found that many people had already filled in the relevant information.

Most of them are text descriptions, with a few accompanied by blurry pictures. The mysterious creatures in the pictures all walk upright, but they do not all have the bull-horn-like protrusions on their heads.

Could they be different races?

Mo Ming also included his own findings, especially emphasizing that the mysterious creature had crawled up from a deep abyss rift.

He noticed that most people filled in information about the mysterious creatures, with very few mentioning the abyssal rift.

Mo Ming believes that the abyssal rifts are their source, and the most effective way to prevent them from harassing the shelter is to block them at the source.

However, it is uncertain whether these mysterious creatures will actually attack the shelter, so the survivors cannot take the initiative to attack.

If they mean no harm, and you anger them, who knows what terrible things might happen.

However, as the saying goes, prevention is better than cure, and it's always good to make some preparations in advance.

Just as I was pondering this, a sudden gale arose outside the shelter, its howling sound like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves!

Then dust and smoke rose, and leaves flew everywhere...

The 30-day-long typhoon disaster has officially begun!
