Glowstone Mine.
In a canyon not far from the Post Office Stone House, several naturally formed stone-wall caves were quietly embedded in the gray-white mountainside, surrounded by vines, green grass, and withered leaves.
A few scattered birds perched on dead vines above the caves, letting out sharp cries.
It was nearing evening. A tall figure slowly emerged from one of the caves.
The figure wore a full set of black Bulletproof Suit. The thick Bulletproof Suit forcibly raised his height from just over 1.7 meters to over 1.8 meters.
Beneath the helmet were pure-gray Goggles and a pitch-black metal filtration mask. Wheezing breaths continuously escaped from the filter ports on either side of the mask.
"It's rare to see birds." The figure raised his head and looked at the birds outside the cave.
The three small birds standing on the dead vines hopped a few times, then lowered their heads to look at him as well.
All three birds had gray-brown feathers. They were filthy, their feathers even somewhat matted, and dried blood still clung to their pale-yellow pointed beaks.
"In this environment, even the birds aren't normal anymore?" The figure sighed and lowered his head to glance at the red value beginning to change on his collar. The number kept fluctuating between twenty and forty.
This was right at the entrance to the mine shaft. It hadn't been like this just moments ago. But now that he was carrying a bag of Glowstone, Yu Hong understood that it meant these three rare little birds very likely had a problem.
The cheerfulness he had originally felt upon seeing the birds gradually sank into silence.
"In this world, what's still normal?"
Carrying the Glowstone, he stopped looking upward and strode toward the way back.
There was nothing inside the Glowstone Mine.
