"Father, the weeds around you have been cleaned up." Jean, the youngest son of twelve, shouted, "Can you have supper?"

Colin Clap sighed and replied: "Of course, but remember to wash your hands."

"I'm twelve years old, don't treat me as a child!"

Colin wanted to answer, "Isn't it a child at the age of twelve?", but hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

When I was young, twelve years old was just a child. But now... twelve years old is really not a child.

This world can no longer allow the teenagers to grow up safely!

He sighed, the joyful mood that had finally arrived at his destination due to a long journey was gone, leaving only endless heavyness and worry.

Who would have thought that the prosperous and powerful Ameri Kingdom collapsed in just three to five years, collapsed so quickly and was so miserable?

Twenty years have passed!

The blessing of the haunted "disaster" has almost regressed to the wilderness era for twenty years.

Apart from the crowds gathered in several remaining towns, the remaining people wandered around, searching for food, fuel and various resources needed for survival in the wilderness, but they did not dare to stay in any place for too long.

Unless there are priests praying day and night, once people stay in a place for too long, the "disaster" will come quietly like a shadow.

It was the shadow lurking in the darkness, it was the terror of immortality, it was the weirdness that made the living person turn into a monster in a blink of an eye.

Over the past twenty years, Colin has seen more than once "disasters" break out, and each time it left a deep impression on him.

Terrifying! Strange! Unstoppable!

Fortunately, with the spread of "disasters", a group of "awakened people" has emerged in human society. Awakened people can burst out amazing power in a short period of time, enough to resist various monsters and monsters.

The key reason why Colin dared to leave the town with a dozen people and traveled a long distance to find treasure is that he was also an "awakened".

Half a year ago, he suddenly woke up without warning.

Then, he was already over fifty years old and his body had already declined. He returned to his youth, and looked like he was back in his early twenties, the strongest and most sensitive, and the vitality was so strong that he almost overflowed his body.

Not only that, he was able to make himself burst out with amazing power in a short period of time by breathing and anger. That power is absolutely impossible for humans to match, and it is even stronger than the strongest bison.

This state is called "awakening".

When Colin "awakened", he was equivalent to a powerful beast with human wisdom and mind. Such power was enough to fight the "disaster".

Therefore, after adapting to his own strength, he took his family away from the town of Lamia where he originally lived and became a treasure hunter who wandered in the wilderness.

The so-called treasure hunter is actually the people who go to the towns that have been destroyed by "disasters" and look for supplies from them.

When attacked by "disasters", people fled in a hurry, and a lot of wealth remained at home. Some of these wealth will be obscured by time, while others can be preserved for a long time - for example, gold.

The brilliant glowing gold can always shine no matter how many years have passed!

As long as you can find some, it will be enough for the whole family to live a safe and stable life for several years.

Not only that, there are many other wealth in the town. Fine forged steel, delicate porcelain, fragrant wood and medicinal materials with mysterious power... The value of these things is no worse than gold. No matter what you find, it will be a great harvest.

Even if you can't find these, it's good to find a few barrels of wine!

The wine before the "disaster" broke out can be sold at a good price in the town. Those rich people are particularly fascinated by this, and no matter how many they find, they will be sold out in an instant.

Colin thought, staring at the city gradually becoming darker in the distance.

Weilun City, a city once famous for its culture, is its hometown. The city is not large in size, but many of them are rich and rich people and scholars. When the "disaster" broke out, the city was once an important refuge, and at the most it lived in more than 100,000 people.

However, it could not withstand the "catastrophe"...

Colin still remembers the scene, which was a nightmare he woke up at night more than once.

"Is it really a good idea to come back here?" He asked himself, but couldn't find the answer.

Wealth is not so easy to obtain, and the awakened one is not immortal.

But... he knew very well that he was already very old and "awakening" could not really restore his youth, but was just overdrawing his life.

It won't take long, maybe tomorrow, he will suddenly fall down, and then become extremely aged in a short period of time, turning into a corpse-like appearance, and then die like this.

Before that, he has to work hard to make more money and prepare a good future for the children!

As a father, that's all he can do...

"Grandpa, it's time to eat!"

Grandson Carl yelled in a silence.

He sighed, threw these unhappy things aside, and walked towards his family members who were waiting for dinner by the campfire.

In this world, what's the point of thinking so much? Let's count on a day after day...

Pan Long watched the group of people from afar and observed their every move.

They looked strange, the young man was extremely close to an old woman, and looked like a couple. They were obviously well educated, which can be seen from the details of sitting, standing and walking.

But the other men and women obviously have not received much education. Their behavior is rude, just like ordinary rural farmers and mountain people, who are not following the rules.

These people don't seem to be gathering together at all, but they are dressed similarly and have very close attitudes to each other. They don't just have a good relationship, but may even be a family.

Well... from the perspective of appearance, several people have similar appearances, and they should be a family.

Why is the situation in the family so weird?

Pan Long doesn't understand.

However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, just go and ask tomorrow.

He did not intend to play indirect or something, and planned to disguise himself as a person who had lost some memory and ask these people about the details of the world.

Seeing them finishing supper, except for leaving two women to watch, the rest of the people went into the tent to sleep. Pan Long nodded and climbed to a high platform to rest.

He didn't sleep well that night. He dreamed more than once that he was surrounded by a large group of mummies and rushed up from all directions.

Although the mummies were not powerful, they were deeply uncomfortable when they were killed.

Pan Long opened his eyes, looked at the moon that was about to fall, and shook his head.

"What a disgusting dream!"

He changed into a dress similar to these people's style, walked around a big circle, and soon after the sun rose, he walked from afar to the town.

It looks like a traveler who happened to pass by.
