Wilderness Survival: All My Ingredients Are Apocalypse-Level

To pay off his debts, Chen Mo ventures alone into “Restricted Zone No. 9,” thinking it’s just an ordinary wilderness survival show.

Armed with a battered machete, he relies on hardcore survival science to make it through:

he uses soul-devouring deadwood for firewood, treats a two-headed corpse vulture like takeout, boils a water ghost into “mineral soup,” and ties up a succubus to work as a camp laborer...

He calmly explains everything and focuses on surviving, never realizing that:

the “mutated beasts” he sees are all S-class anomalies feared by the outside world;

the tree he casually chopped down was an ancient tree demon who had lived for a thousand years;

and the fire he lit was burning the wailing evil spirits trapped in Abyssal Soulstones.

The entire Special Investigations Bureau is on the verge of a breakdown as they watch the surveillance screens. Chen Mo turns around, carrying a wolfskin backpack, and says:

“This show... sure feels realistic.”

What he doesn’t know is that the Restricted Zone trembles every day he survives.

When he finally walks out of the zone, every anomaly prostrates itself before him, and the ancient gods awaken in the heavens...

Chen Mo merely wipes his blade and smiles at the camera:

“Let’s have a late-night snack. Anyone want some... god-tier barbecue?”
