[Nontraditional apocalypse + natural disasters + stockpiling + infrastructure building + ensemble cast + everyday life + farming]
In the second year after the mutations began, Shen Li awakened an ability.
The good news: from then on, she could "dream of whatever she wanted to eat," and the director of the orphanage never had to worry about her going hungry again.
The bad news: why did using this ability make her pass out for three days...
With the help of mutated soil, most people in the base ate just two meals every three days.
The five members of Shen Li's group, on the other hand, ate three meals a day and had enough to eat every time, with vegetables, meat, and rice.
Tender steamed egg custard with minced meat, crispy pork cracklings fragrant enough to fill the air, savory mushroom-and-bone stew, and tangy, crisp hot-and-sour rice noodles, with a different meal every time...
Everyone was shocked. "How can they eat so well?"
The other four answered flatly, "Oh, our Sister Li can dream~"
Some people worked themselves to the bone, clearing land and planting crops. When their seeds finally sprouted, the plants killed them before they could even eat the harvest.
The five members of Shen Li's group looked at the plants they'd been growing hydroponically and in soil for a year and couldn't help asking, "These things can mutate?"
Some people believed that ability level was all that mattered, and that support abilities would never measure up to combat abilities. Anyone below Level 3 was useless.
Shen Li, a Level 3 support ability user, uprooted a Level 5 ability plant as easily as if she were cutting vegetables. Looking at the Level 4 ability squad behind her, who had backed away several feet, she asked in confusion, "Is it strong?"
Disasters came one after another, resources were scarce, and the bases turned on each other and began raiding one another.
Shen Li stood atop the city wall, gazing into the distance. She looked so delicate and frail that she seemed about to collapse.
The enemy leader saw her and said, "They let someone like that onto the wall? We've got this in the bag!"
Three days and three nights later, the leader couldn't help wondering, "Are they even human?"
They'd been stuck inside the gates for so long without food or supplies. How could they still have so much energy?
Inside the city walls,
Shen Li was surrounded by people like a god of wealth, handing out treats.
"Here, a fresh meat bun. Stamina +2."
"Siu mai. Endurance +2."
"Luosifen. Attack range greatly increased."
"Mushroom combo. Illusion ability greatly increased."
1. A warm, everyday story about eating well by dreaming in the apocalypse, working hard at farming, and protecting home.
2. A nontraditional apocalypse story, focused on stockpiling, infrastructure, delicious food, and a team growing together.
