Eventually, Luo Yuan decided to give up on cooking the mutated fish.

Even though it was already evening and the sky was getting darker and darker, Luo Yuan was not going home yet. Since the disaster happened, he was responsible for the survival of the nation and he most certainly did not have a chance to take a break from it now.

He resumed his journey like a lonely traveler.

After a few hours, he was closer to the equator and he could see the ocean once again despite the fact that the temperature was only 0.3 degrees Celsius. However, compared to the other regions, this place was undoubtedly warmer. There were a few convergence regions of the ocean’s currents, making it relatively difficult to freeze.

There were icebergs slowly bobbing up and down in the sea like a lonely island and the ocean was shrouded by crushed ice. The crashing sound between them could be heard due to the continuous movements of the seawater.

Without a doubt, this place had become the largest colony of organisms.

Even above the crushed ice, there were many living organisms including mutated birds and sea mammals. On the bigger icebergs, the original color of the iceberg was no longer visible as it was crowded by organisms. Of course, there were still a large number of aquatic organisms living beneath the crushed ice though it was not visible to the naked eye.

As the sky got darker, all of the creatures huddled together and the place became quiet and peaceful.

There were hardly any ripples on the surface of the ocean when Luo Yuan arrived. A mutated giant bird stared at him and buried its head under its wings. Another ocean beast which was farther away from him did not even bother to move.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and there were blood stains everywhere on the ice. Luo Yuan knew that this was not a peaceful place. Instead, it is a place where the living organisms ate one another in order to survive. They had a unique way of living in this unique environment. One could either be the hunter or the hunted.

The sky further darkened and it was now the coldest time of the day. Most of the organisms were done hunting for food before the weather turned colder and the survivors were now relying on each other to withstand the extremely cold weather at night. However, the very next day, this would be a place where they killed each other again for food. But at least it was still quiet and peaceful until that moment arrives.

Luo Yuan stepped on the crushed ice and walked step by step, passing a few giant beasts along the way. As the weather got colder, the giant beasts did not move and seemed to be hibernating. All the mutated beings that survived were high-level creatures ranging from level five to eight.

At this moment, there was a notification from the task system and he had discovered three level eight mutated beasts. With his current abilities, he could easily have completed the given task and would probably have leveled up and gained an additional attribute point. However, Luo Yuan was absolutely indifferent to this.

Before the disaster, the mutated beasts were human's greatest enemy. However, they were now the same as any human, struggling to survive.

The reason why he did not kill the mutated beasts was not because he was weak. Instead, it was because he now had compassion for those mutated beasts.

After a while, he passed through the region and the ocean began to freeze. He finally stopped and looked at the time, finding out that it was already nine o'clock at night now so he decided to return. He intentionally passed by the lightning tree on his way back.
