Chapter 49 (1/2)

The voyage had not taken up much time. The speed of Wei Huo’s ship increased, probably because it had been transformed, and had an electric motor. He took only five years to arrive on the Northern continent.

An unfamiliar feeling ran through Wei Huo as he arrived at the Northern continent. The wooden houses, fences, and fields that he had built had disappeared.

Before departure, he had planted Tree-Man seeds, but presently he did not see any Tree-Men.

Perhaps, the Tree-Men clan had gone extinct in a disaster or maybe they had revived and moved to another location. Regardless, nothing was known at this moment.

The weather indeed started warming up again. The snowfields disappeared, and plants were growing luxuriantly. The number of animals had increased too. Rare creatures would appear occasionally, and they would conquer and occupy the place. However, it was ill-fated for them to meet Wei Huo.

That was because Wei Huo would have killed them to collect Magical Stones!

Wei Huo kept heading north after he disembarked the ship. His mood grew happier as he got closer to his home. However, in reality, he could not recognize the places as the Northern continent had changed beyond recognition. So, he kept searching for well-known places before the time halted throughout his journey of heading north.

For example, Mount Emei!

It took Wei Huo 15 years to find Mount Emei. The mountain remained the same, but he could not make out the word ‘Emei’ anymore.

200 years had passed, nevertheless, the vast crowd of tourists stood stock-still like statues. Time had not left a single trace on them. Nothing could hurt them as they were protected by the golden light. They could not even move a little.

Wei Huo found the heritage cave again. Instead of going in, he left a mark on the cave mouth.

He would come back again, but he had to find his hometown first.

With Mount Emei as a reference point, Wei Huo spent only three years to find the original service area.

The monkeys in the service area were gone. The whole Northern continent had been wiped out by the terrifying temperature drop. The monkeys who originally had the chance to develop their own civilization were exterminated too.

Seeing that, Wei Huo did not know whether he should feel happy or sad. At least the monkeys who might have threatened humans after the time halt were all gone.

With the service area as a guidepost, Wei Huo began to move towards his hometown. The expressway had disappeared, leaving countless cars stranded in the jungle.

However, those cars were like road signs. They marked the location and direction of the original expressway. Following the ‘expressway’, Wei Huo found his hometown in only three days

Wei Huo was overcome with emotions when he finally saw his hometown, the city that had been buried under the jungle. He came to his neighborhood and found the building he once lived in. Unfortunately, he could not enter.

The doors in the building were protected by the golden light. He could not destroy it no matter how much force he exerted. The windows were blocked with burglar bars, and Wei Huo could not enter at all.

However, Wei Huo only had to wait for another 60 years or more. Who would mind waiting for another 60 years, when he had already waited for more than 200 years?

Wei Huo began to make full use of his intelligence and wisdom to build a shelter. He did not have a ready-made shelter blueprint. However, he had blueprints of a generator, water purifier and so on. Moreover, Lu Qiqi’s camp gave him inspiration. He could build a shelter by imitating the campsite’s design.

Meanwhile, Wei Huo could also carry out Research. He could first build a generator using the blueprint, dismantle it and then study its inner structure. As time passed by, he might be able to build a shelter without any blueprint.
