After the tools were made, Liao Fan gave each villager two stone axes.

It was important because they would need those axes to mine for materials.

However, after thinking about it, Liao Fan frowned.

Why?

It was for a very simple reason.

He had too few resources.

Currently, he could only make simple tools.

Even the torch had a time limit.

Thanks to his ability, the usage time was greatly extended but even so, Liao Fan did not want to take any risks.

As of now, the danger the fog posed was still unknown. Unless Liao Fan was a hundred percent confident, he refused to enter the fog.

The time limit was four hours. It might seem like a lot of time, but unexpected things might happen.

Liao Fan still did not know the geographical environment outside.

Basically, he had limited time to scavenge for resources!

Currently, other than food, the resources in the thatched cottage were almost used up.

‘If this trip did not yield any results, what would happen to me?

‘How could I explore again in the future?

‘There are no more resources to make torches.’

Liao Fan knew it was a gamble, but he had to do it!

Staying in the hut would only be waiting for death!

Since that was the case, he might as well take any chances of survival. At the very least, there was hope that he could live on!

…

At this moment, the fog outside was still very dense.

Liao Fan had neatly arranged all his items.

He continued to observe the situation.

Then, he accessed the world channel.

“I have bad news for everyone. Earlier, I ordered a villager to go out and explore. After taking two steps, he suddenly disappeared. Shortly after, a rain of blood fell from the sky along with pieces of flesh. I rushed out thinking that he was still alive but in the end, I could only salvage his bloody arm…”

“And then barbecued it with tears in your eyes?”

“F*ck, don’t you have any humanity left? The villagers may look dull and weak, but they’re still living beings!”

“Hmph, who cares about that? I only prioritize my own life! The villagers are nothing but NPC1s. Why should I care about them? I’m starving to death and you’re trying to lecture me about humanity?”

“Living beings? Hahaha…”

“Anyway, don’t go out. It does not matter if it’s day or night. We’re in hell!”

“Wuuuuu… I want to go home…”

Nobody dared to explore the outside world yet.

If the fog did not disperse, they would definitely die!

Since no one knew what was hidden in the fog, they would not take any chances!

Liao Fan was the only exception.

With the strengthened version of the torch, he could go out safely.

Liao Fan then made a bowl of oatmeal and some premium bread.

Then, he enhanced the food one after another.

Liao Fan knew that by eating the enhanced food, he would be more resistant to hunger.

He picked up the bowl of oatmeal and ate it. It was absolutely delicious.

Then, he put the premium bread into his bag.

As Liao Fan continued to eat his oatmeal, he accessed the regional channel.

“My stomach is growling. I’m so hungry. Are the villagers really edible? I can’t stand it anymore!”

“Sigh, just eat them. The villagers won’t resist at all. You need to survive, right?”

“Ugh… this is disgusting. It’s really hard to swallow…”

“If you don’t eat them, you’ll die!”

“Exactly. There was a really stubborn person earlier who died of hunger.”

“Sob… I want to go home. I want a proper meal…”

“Get lost! No one wants to hear you whine!”

…

‘Tsk…’

After reading the messages, Liao Fan quickly closed the interface.

‘Those people are so disgusting!

‘Do they really need to discuss such things?

‘Sigh… this bowl of oatmeal is the best.’

After finishing his oatmeal, Liao Fan was full.

Not only did his hunger disappear, but he also felt stronger than ever.

It was as if he could complete a ten miles long run!

Bread and water were originally basic resources. They could only be used to satisfy hunger.

However, with Liao Fan’s amplification ability, they were greatly enhanced.

That was why he felt rejuvenated.

There really was a huge difference between enhanced and non-enhanced food!

“Gulp…”

The sound came from the other side.

Liao Fan raised his head.

He looked at the two villagers.

They were starving.

It was clear that the sound was their stomach growling.

Upon seeing this, Liao Fan took out a piece of premium bread and broke it into a couple of small pieces.

“Take it.”

Liao Fan gave them to the villagers.

“Thank you, my Lord!”

The two villagers took the bread and immediately chowed down. Their faces were filled with happiness.

They did not have to die from starvation!

If the villagers died, Liao Fan’s scavenging speed would be reduced by more than three times!

It was a good idea to keep them alive.

Otherwise, under such circumstances, Liao Fan would not have shared his precious food.

Although Liao Fan would not sink to the level of cannibalism, he was no deity either.

‘The villagers were precious resources as well!

‘They must not die!

‘Besides, where else can I find people who are a hundred percent loyal to me in what seemed like an apocalyptic world?’

Those were Liao Fan’s thoughts.

While the other Lords ate their own villagers, Liao Fan shared his extra food. In a way, it made him feel very wealthy.

He was lucky that he had the amplification ability. If not, the three pieces of bread and three bottles of mineral water would definitely not be enough!

After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Liao Fan still had more than half of the premium bread, as well as two bottles of water!

With his amplification ability, he could enhance items and even deduce certain production methods.

This would greatly help Liao Fan to advance in this world!
