Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"We must find water as soon as possible, otherwise we will all collapse." He Yudong warned the team, whose throats were already starting to go dry.

The team members' eyes showed anxiety, but no one spoke. Everyone walked towards a seemingly moist place in the distance in tacit agreement, hoping to find some resources needed for survival.

On the edge of the salt marsh, they discovered an abandoned hut. The land around the hut seemed to be wetter than the salt-alkali land, and the grass and trees were barely growing. He Yudong gently opened the door of the hut and found that there was an abandoned well inside.

"Water!" one team member yelled in ecstasy. Everyone couldn't help but rush into the hut and gather water from the well. The source of life made them feel extremely precious.

Just as everyone was rejoicing, suddenly, a strange noise came. He Yudong raised his head and discovered a group of mutated creatures. They were like lizards with transparent wings, approaching quickly from the salty land in the distance.

"Be careful! There are creatures!" He Yudong reminded everyone loudly. The team immediately came to their senses and grabbed their weapons. On this desolate salt-alkali land, they will face another life-and-death struggle with an unknown enemy. As the creatures gradually approached, He Yudong's eyes became firm. He knew that survival was not just about escaping, but also about fighting against the endless mutant creatures in this doomsday world.

He Yudong and his team nervously faced the rapidly approaching mutated creatures. The creatures emit a strange blue light, making them appear even more mysterious and threatening on the salty land.

"What are these?" one team member asked, eyes widening.

He Yudong frowned and thought hard about how to deal with it. "I don't know, but we have to be careful." His voice was full of vigilance. "Ready!"

The creatures finally came face to face, and He Yudong and the members of the team worked together to fight against them. A fierce fight broke out around the cramped hut. Swords and guns traced trajectories in the air, and the screams of creatures were intertwined with the shouts of the team.

He Yudong dodged the attack of a creature and quickly counterattacked with the weapon in his hand. His eyes shone with determination, unwilling to give up any hope in this desolate place.

Suddenly, a light flashed from a distance, attracting the attention of the creatures. A mysterious creature, which looked like a small animal with colorful lights shining on its body, walked up to He Yudong. It has round eyes and looks friendly and cute.

"Pokémon!" someone screamed.

He Yudong looked at this little creature in surprise, it seemed to be a miracle born in the apocalyptic world. The Pokémon stretched out its small paw, as if signaling for them to follow.

"Maybe it can help us, at least we have a partner in this desolation." He Yudong encouraged the team, and everyone walked towards the Pokémon.

The Pokémon led He Yudong and his team through the salt-alkali land, and seemed to know some directions that they didn't know. The team members looked around warily, their hearts filled with trust in this mysterious Pokémon.

Crossing the salt-alkali land, He Yudong and his team followed the guidance of Pokémon and gradually moved towards a seemingly endless plain. The setting sun on the horizon dyed the entire sky red, bringing a touch of warmth to this wasteland.

"This Pokémon seems to be our guide, and we should be grateful to it." Someone said softly, looking at the mysterious little creature in front of him.

He Yudong nodded. He felt that this Pokémon seemed to have an unusual connection with this apocalyptic world. They gradually walked into the center of the plain and discovered an abandoned training ground. Various broken equipment were scattered on the field, which had obviously been a place for combat training.

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in the venue, "Are you new here?"

He Yudong and his team looked around and found a man in shabby warrior attire, holding a blood-stained sword. His eyes were sharp and alert.

"We are just looking for a safe place to escape this apocalypse." He Yudong stepped forward and tried to ease the tension.

The soldier smiled coldly, "When the doomsday comes, we must learn to survive. Whether you are capable or not depends on whether you have settlement skills."

He Yudong and the team members looked at each other and couldn't help but feel confused. The warrior explained, "Settlement skills are the key to survival in this world. Are you willing to learn them?"

The team nodded, knowing that in this cruel world, survival not only relies on strength, but also requires some special skills. The soldiers began to teach them settlement skills and experience in survival, fighting, resource acquisition, etc.

As he learned settlement skills, He Yudong and his team gradually adapted to this cruel and mutated world. Their movement is faster and their ability to fight against mutated creatures has also been improved. However, during the breaks in training, everyone couldn't help but start thinking about some details of life.

A team member rubbed his belly and said with a smile, "Actually, I quite like instant noodles, but it's a pity that I can't find them in this world now."

He Yudong smiled after hearing this, "Maybe we can try to find some ingredients and cook a simple instant noodles."

Everyone cheered, as if smelling the aroma of hot noodle soup. So, while training on settlement skills, they began to search for ingredients. In the ruins, they found some abandoned cans and dry food.

He Yudong picked some ingredients and returned to the training venue with his team members. Next to the campfire, they began to build a simple outdoor kitchen. He Yudong took out a folding knife and handled the ingredients skillfully.

“In these years, we have ignored too many beautiful things in our escape,” He Yudong said with a smile. “Even the taste of a bowl of instant noodles has become precious.”

The team members nodded, and everyone was deeply moved. In this apocalyptic moment, a simple bowl of instant noodles is not only food, but also a nostalgia and longing for the past life.

While enjoying simple and delicious instant noodles by the campfire, a strange atmosphere spreads. The night sky twinkled overhead, as if silently accompanying this group of escapees.

Suddenly, a slight fountain sound came from the distance. He Yudong looked up in the direction of the sound and saw an abandoned pool. Everyone decided to explore and maybe find more resources.

Approaching the pool, they found a group of strange small fish floating in the water. These fish shine with colorful lights, and the most eye-catching one is a small fish with unique stripes on its body, like a clown.

"Look, that's a clownfish!" A team member pointed to the small fish in the water and said in surprise.

He Yudong smiled, "Maybe we can try to capture some to enrich our food sources."

So, the team members found some simple fishing gear and started busy at the pool. The clownfish swims around, seemingly unperturbed by the arrival of humans.

“The colors of these clownfish are so beautiful,” someone exclaimed, deftly throwing the fishing net into the water.

He Yudong also joined the fishing ranks, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought about survival and beauty in this doomsday world.

The catches kept coming, and the ingredients around the campfire became more abundant. The team members grilled the clownfish on the fire, and the aroma of the fish filled the air, filling the entire training ground with a beautiful atmosphere.

"It's really touching that we can taste such delicious food in the apocalypse." He Yudong held the grilled clownfish and shared it with the team members with a smile.

As the team enjoyed delicious clownfish, night fell and the stars shone brightly in the sky. Suddenly, a kind of brisk music sounded in the air, causing everyone to be stunned.

A group of small creatures jumped out of the darkness, their bodies emitting a faint light, like elves. This group of creatures has a unique appearance, but with funny patterns painted on their faces, they look extremely cute.

"Hey, who are you stupid elves?" A team member couldn't help laughing.

An elf jumped to the campfire and waved the stick in his hand, as if performing some kind of dance. The team members looked at each other, speechless at this sudden elf performance.

"Maybe they want to spend the night with us," He Yudong said happily, "Maybe they are reminding us that in this apocalypse, we also need some laughter and entertainment."

As a result, the campfire became a joyful stage, and the team spent an extremely pleasant night with this group of silly elves. The elves seem to be able to understand human emotions, interact with them, and even indulge in a hilarious show with the team members.

"Perhaps in this apocalypse, we can find some unexpected laughter and warmth." He Yudong said deeply.

The next day, He Yudong and his team continued their doomsday escape, leaving behind the pleasant bonfire last night. The elves seemed to feel the departure of the team, and they all drew gorgeous lights and shadows in the sky to bid them farewell.

As they moved forward, they came to a desolate desert. The scorching sun makes people feel extremely thirsty. The team had to find water as quickly as possible to maintain the strength to continue.

Suddenly, a unique chirping sound broke the silence of the desert. Everyone immediately stopped and looked around in alarm.

"What's that sound?" someone asked.

He Yudong stared into the distance, his eyes fixed on a tall cactus. Suddenly, a blue bird flew up from the cactus and made a crisp chirping sound.

"That's a green sheep bird!" one team member said in surprise.

The wings of the green sheepbird vibrate slightly and hover gracefully in the air. He Yudong smiled, "They usually live in deserts, and there should be water sources nearby. If we follow the green sheep, we may be able to find the water we need."
