Before the catastrophe, Yang Yi was just an ordinary person on Earth. He grew up in a small town called Qinkun Island.

Yang Yi's father is the president of the local chamber of commerce. Under his father's protection, Yang Yi has been ignorant since he was a child.

When Yang Yi was still looking forward to taking over his father's position after a few more years of hard work, from then on he would lead a group of younger brothers to show off their power and enjoy the world every day.

Suddenly, a catastrophe strikes!

Two years ago, without any warning, the entire planet suddenly changed. The sky collapsed, the earth shook, and the mountains shook. It was like the end of the world!

Fortunately, Yang Yi survived the disaster.

I don’t know whether it was the compassionate god in the sky who activated his divine power, or whether it was a high-level civilization that initiated a rescue plan for the low-level civilization of Earth. In short, those who survived the catastrophe were sent to the mysterious underground space. Since then, Yang Yi and other survivors have been living in the dark underground world.

"It's time to get the 'elixir'."

Yang Yi thought to himself after leaving the earthen chamber and walked along the long and narrow tunnel.

The only source of light in the tunnel is the sparse moss-like plants clinging overhead, which emit a faint glow in the darkness.

Yang Yi didn't know the names of these plants that could emit light. In short, they were definitely not Earth Star plants.

At first glance, these glimmers of light look like a beautiful sky full of stars, but in fact, this little firefly light is not enough to illuminate the tunnel, and the faces of people a few steps away in the dim tunnel are blurred.

Yang Yi walked through the tunnel based on his memory, turning corners from time to time to enter larger tunnels.

As time went by, the tunnel Yang Yi walked became wider and wider, and he met more and more people traveling with him.

Most of these people traveling with him were as ragged and disheveled as Yang Yi, and some had dull eyes and numb expressions, looking like zombies.

The huge impact of the catastrophe and more than two years of dark underground life have dealt a huge blow to people's bodies and minds. Many people still don't want to believe that their lives have undergone such earth-shaking changes, and they still dream about waking up one day. , everything is restored as before.

The destination of the pedestrians in the tunnel is roughly the same, which is a large cave several feet high.

The dome of the cave is covered with luminous moss, which makes the inside of the cave look much brighter than elsewhere.

There were nearly a hundred people standing in the large cave. These people were divided into several small groups and lined up, waiting to receive food.

There were more than ten people wandering outside the queue, maintaining order arrogantly. As long as one of them felt unhappy, these people would yell at the people in line and use fists and kicks.

All the people lined up obediently, and they didn't dare to say a word even after being beaten and scolded one by one.

These ten people all had gray cloth belts tied on their arms. They were all members of the Qin Kun Society, and the gray cloth belt was the symbol of Qin Kun Society members.

"They're just a bunch of minions in the club, what's there to be so arrogant about?"

Yang Yi despised the arrogance of these people in his heart, and at the same time thought that one day he would be more arrogant than them.

Despite his contempt, Yang Yi silently chose to line up.

These members of the Qin Kun Society who were maintaining order saw Yang Yi, and their attitude towards Yang Yi was not so friendly.

Yang Yi was accustomed to these unkind looks. He walked over silently and stood at the back of the queue.

"Brother Yang is here. He just went offline. Come forward quickly."

Seeing Yang Yi at the back of the queue, a young man wearing a gray cloth belt unreasonably pushed his way through the queue and came over to greet Yang Yi.

There are two long scars on the young man's right cheek, which looks a bit scary.

This man was nicknamed "Scarface Ajie", and everyone present respectfully called him "Brother Jie".

"Offline" actually means to disconnect from the world of Azeroth and return to the Earth. This was originally a term used in online games. A few years before the catastrophe, online virtual worlds and games were very popular on Earth. Now most people are accustomed to using some commonly used words in virtual worlds in reality.

The people in the Qin Kun Society who maintain order here are all people who have no way of entering the world of Azeroth, because so far only a few people have passed the physical test and are qualified to enter the world of Azeroth.

"I'm here to get the food." Yang Yi said.

"Let brother Yang receive the 'elixir' first. The same rules are, 'three for one.'" Ajie shouted, then pulled Yang Yi out from the back of the team and pushed him to the middle of the big cave.

Yang Yi jumped in line, but no one present dared to object. They all watched Yang Yi being pushed to the middle, because they were afraid of Ajie.

"What's 'three donations for one'?" Yang Yi asked.

"Brother Yang, let me tell you something. You should know that starting today our Qin Kun Association will be officially headed by Uncle Yun." Ajie said while pulling Yang Yi.

Yang Yi shook his head after hearing this. Uncle Yun was originally the second in charge of the Qin Kun Association, but the first in charge, Yang Yi's father, disappeared a long time ago. During this period, Uncle Yun was actually in charge of the Qin Kun Association. With.

Since Yang Yi's father disappeared, he, the son of the president, has been excluded from the power struggle. People in the association regard him as transparent, and no one has paid attention to his existence for a long time.

"Brother Yang, let me tell you straight. Uncle Yun established a new rule after he took charge of the family. From now on, members who are not official members of the Qin Kun Association must hand over one piece of food to the association every time they receive food. It is the same for everyone."

Yang Yi was speechless. Since he had already said that everyone was the same, what else could he say.

In fact, many people used to come to collect food and were often blackmailed by people from the Qin Kun Association. Now it seems that they are just doing it blatantly.

Yang Yi jumped in line and came to the front. There was a blue halo floating in the air in the middle of the big cave. The diameter of the aperture was more than one meter long. Yang Yi walked to the bottom of the aperture.

After standing still under the aperture, Yang Yi breathed out gently to calm himself down.

"three……"

Yang Yi spread his hands so that his palms were in a receiving shape, and silently recited the number "three" in his heart.

Suddenly, a bright blue light curtain stretched out from the blue aperture, and the light curtain lowered to cover Yang Yi.

After a blink of an eye, the light curtain disappeared, and three white balls less than half the size of a fist appeared in Yang Yi's hand.

The white meatballs have a crystal clear appearance, and still faintly reflect light under dim light.

This white pill is actually some unknown synthetic food. One pill a day for an adult can provide the energy needed for basic life.

Because these meatballs have an unusual appearance and can fill the stomach and save people's lives, people who rely on these meatballs to maintain their lives jokingly call it the "life-extending elixir."

Each person can receive one pill of this kind per day on average, and up to three pills at a time.

Qin Kunhui now imposes a stipulation that for every three pills that people on the territory receive, they must hand over one to them. This is what Scarface Ajie means by "donating three to one".

After Yang Yi stepped out of the circle of light, he first handed one of the balls to Ajie, which was the protection fee he gave to Qin Kunhui.

Yang Yi received three pills at once, because the people from Qin Kunhui were watching eagerly. These people would not take a notebook and record each person who came to collect the meatballs. Anyway, they made sure that every person who came to collect the meatballs must hand over one.

After paying the protection fee, Yang Yi stood there and put a ball into his mouth. He quickly chewed the ball and swallowed it into his stomach.

This synthetic food has no taste, but after swallowing it, the body feels warm and can make people feel full, which cheers up the already hungry Yang Yi.

Ajie took a pill from Yang Yi and pulled him aside, then whispered: "Brother Yang, there are some rumors about Sister Lan in the meeting. Don't take it seriously."

"What rumors?" Yang Yi wondered.

"You may not know that when Uncle Yun officially announced that he would be the president, Sister Lan recognized Uncle Yun as her godfather on the spot." Ajie said.

Mu Xiaolan seemed like someone who would do such a thing, and Yang Yi was not surprised after hearing this.

The reason why Ajie said these things to Yang Yi was because of the unclear relationship between Yang Yi and Mu Xiaolan.

Yang Yi sighed softly, and then left without looking back.

Yang Yi tightened the wooden stick he was holding with both hands. He had just swallowed a pill. If the remaining pill was taken away on the way back, he would only be hungry for three days. The time to collect the meatballs after one time. .
