Wasteland Lord: Starting from Thirty Days to Live

Dozens of lost souls charged toward the spear formation, while Edmund stood outside the formation, unwavering, and swung his greatsword with force.

In an instant, the five soulless beings at the forefront were cut in half at the waist.

Vittorio looked at Edmund in amazement.

Truly brave and valiant!

The remaining dozen or so were no threat; after two rounds of stabbing, they fell down one after another like cutting leeks.

In this way, the entire square was cleaned up.

After burning the body, they looked into the nearby shops and found many valuable items.

First, there were linen, cotton, and other clothing items, as well as various leather boots and cloth shoes.

Then there are all sorts of farm tools and ironware, including door frames, door bolts, iron spoons, iron plates, etc. Anyway, the camp is in dire need of iron right now, and these things will be very useful later.

In addition, a lot of salt was found. Salt is essential for the human body, so we naturally accepted it all.

They also found two carriages behind a house.

The horse that pulled the cart had been dead for a long time, leaving only a skeleton. But the cart was a good thing because the stone was very heavy, and it was impossible to pull it up the mountain by manpower. But if we had these two carts, and combined with the strange-looking livestock that were found in the cave some time ago, it wouldn't be impossible to make a cart pulled by oxen and sheep.

Although it's a three-headed sheep cart, it doesn't matter, since even though one of its heads is cross-eyed, the other two are fine.

In addition, there are various stonemason's tool sets, which can be taken back to see if anyone knows how to use them.

Most importantly, a patch of bean sprouts was discovered in the back kitchen of a restaurant. It seemed that beans used for cooking had been scattered all over the ground and then left unattended, taking root in the backyard and spreading rampantly throughout the yard.

After all, the crops grown on the mountain are very limited, consisting mainly of rye, barley, and a small amount of vegetables. The introduction of legumes can fix nitrogen, supplement protein, and promote crop rotation, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

Meanwhile, various herbs and even two bottles of medicine were found in a pharmacy.

"Healing potion? Antidote?"

Vittorio looked at the two bottles of medicine in his hand—one red and one purple—and the relevant knowledge naturally came to mind.

"Pharmacist" is a specialized profession.

They mainly roam in remote forests or secret realms, collecting various plants with special effects to make medicines.

This red "healing potion" was made by the "pharmacist".

This is not made from ordinary herbs, but from "Sun Grass" harvested from the Moonlight Forest in the eastern part of the kingdom, near the Holy Light Kingdom. It has very powerful healing abilities.

Good stuff, write it down.

We found so many good things in just an abandoned village. It's clear that hiding in one place is a dead end; we still need to fight our way out.

After noting down the nearby resource points, Vittorio's simulated soldier ran out to rejoin his teammates.

Next, they headed towards the stone quarry.

The stone quarry is located next to a maple forest. It is not deep; it is just an open-air pit.

It was completely silent here, with only the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves.

Pushing open the stone warehouse, you see a large wooden building filled with stones of all shapes, sizes, and even carvings, which used to supply the entire river bend.

The group searched the warehouse carefully but found no monsters or soulless individuals.

"That's a good thing. Maybe it's because no one was here when the demonic tide happened," said the soldier standing next to Vittorio.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the warehouse full of stones; the task had been completed so easily.

"By the way, I'll go check out that quarry; there might be some good stuff inside."

The soldier standing next to Vittorio relaxed, relieved that his mission was complete, and walked toward the stone pit with a smile.

"Wow, what a huge pit! Look at that..."

Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow suddenly darted out of the pit, like a sharp arrow aimed straight at his head.

In an instant, his head exploded like a bursting watermelon in front of everyone.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, only reacting a second after he fell straight down.

"Enemy attack!"

The sound that suddenly rang out in space and time made Ling stand behind and take a closer look. She then discovered that it was a monster that looked like a pangolin. It was dark and hidden under the ore, making it difficult to spot.

This is a level one monster, the Petrified Earth Armor.

This creature lives in mines, feeding on ore residue. It usually hides in dark corners, and when a creature gets close, it suddenly leaps out from under the rocks and kills it instantly. It is extremely insidious.

Everyone quickly raised their shields to protect themselves, fearing that the thing might launch another sneak attack.

The disadvantage of this thing is that once the sneak attack is detected, its power is greatly reduced.

Vittorio held his shield in front of him and watched helplessly as a petrified armored creature charged toward him. He raised his shield high, and the creature slammed into it with a thud.

Taking advantage of the creature's dizziness, Vittorio thrust his spear forward, piercing it through and embedding it in the ground.

This thing wasn't actually that difficult to deal with, but right after Vittorio killed it, he heard screams of agony from his teammates beside him.

What's going on? A mere few level-one monsters couldn't have caused them such heavy losses.

Vittorio turned his head and saw that two or three of his teammates' feet were deeply stuck in the ground, as if they were being clamped by something.

He was about to go and help, but was stopped by the person next to him.

"Be careful!"

He looked back at the spot where he had just left and discovered a trap on the ground—an animal snare. If he had stepped into it, one of his legs would have been ruined.

Even though it was a simulation, he still felt a lingering fear.

At the same time, I felt something was wrong.

Wait a minute, why would there be animal traps, human-made traps, here?

If it was placed there by someone from the past, then more than ten years have passed, and this thing should have gone bad long ago.

Unless someone put this here recently...

Could it be that there are still survivors in this place?

The thought of this possibility made him feel a chill.

What kind of person could survive alone in this environment?

Just as he was pondering this question, the teammate who had just saved him screamed in agony.

A rock the size of a human head flew through the air, heading straight for his head. Originally, the target should have been the soldier that Vittorio was simulating, but because this person stood in front of him, he became the scapegoat.

The man didn't utter a sound; if he had, he would have collapsed instantly.

Vittorio's alarm bells rang. He looked toward where the stones had come from and saw a tall, thin, humanoid creature crouching atop the warehouse, coldly watching the exploration team below.

Meanwhile, Edmund, who was also searching for the mastermind behind everything, had clearly noticed the anomaly above first and loudly warned everyone.

"A high-level soul-destroyer!"
