The edge of the New World.

A low depression near the west coast.

The snow surrounding the place had no signs of melting, and the plains were covered with snow.

Unexpectedly, within this quiet depression was a small village town like an island on the ocean.

It was silent and very mesmerizing.

The sunlight from dawn gradually shone down on the town.

Two black bears were shaking their big chubby butts on the snow-covered street as they tried to find food through the broken window cabinets along the streets.

Fang Qiu, slightly stunned, stood up and asked.

“He said he’s a government official. If there’s anything you want to know, ask him. I have a lot of things to do now, so I’ll take my leave first.”

As he spoke, Zhao Shanlin immediately turned around and walked out.

The young man stopped before his desk.

“Hello, I’m here on behalf of the Beijiang Bureau of Land Management. You can call me Xiao Li.”

While introducing himself, the young man extended his hand to Fang Qiu.

“Hello.”

Hearing that, Fang Qiu immediately understood why he was here and shook hands with him.

“Here’s the thing. The top leaders asked us to allocate a few pieces of land to you. Are you available now? Let’s go take a look.” Xiao Li asked.

“So fast?”

Fang Qiu was surprised.

“It had only been half an hour since Li Ji called me, and this young man is already here at the cultivation base. How could they act so fast?”

“State affairs should be done as quickly as possible.”

The young man smiled and said, “After all, this is a restricted military area, and unauthorized people are not allowed to enter. It’s a waste of resources to leave the land there unused. If it is left in a state of neglect, the land will gradually turn into a desert. So, you should maximize its value.”

Unlike the fresh wound on its forehead, this wound had already begun to rot. It seemed to have been there for a while.

He leaned closer and could smell the rotten stench even with the strong smell of blood in the air.

“That’s impossible! How could these black bears walk around as if nothing happened with such a big wound?”

He used his fingers to squeeze the wound and saw the bloody flesh disintegrate in front of him.

Shocked by the sight, he quickly retracted his fingers.

The wound was enough to fit a human’s fist inside.

However, the strange thing was that from the previous behavior of the two black bears, it was obvious they were unbothered by the wound.

Unable to get to the bottom of the mystery, Feng Zhou could only temporarily put away the doubt and continue collecting the blood of the black bear.

Silently, without him noticing, the wound that he had squeezed with his fingers gradually regenerated at a terrifying speed.

The black blood that stained his fingers also seemed to have gained life. They dripped from his fingers and were absorbed back by the old wound that had not fully healed.
