Apocalypse Arrives: I Become a Powerhouse by Scavenging

Moira Lynch, after all, ate fruits to enhance her physique every day and drank various Medicines like they were water.

If her strength didn’t improve after all that, then she would be truly useless.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, she could feel her spiritual power becoming active again recently.

This time, the activity felt very different from before.

Moira Lynch suddenly thought of the unusual energy core she had found in the game.

Back then, she had clearly felt a pulse of life within it, and Snowy had been extremely excited as well.

’Right, Snowy!’

At this thought, Moira Lynch quickly sent her consciousness into her space.

Following her connection to Snowy, she found it in no time.

At that moment, Snowy had curled itself into a ball, sleeping quietly, but...

Moira Lynch looked at the behemoth before her and fell silent.

While she knew Snowy was only a cub before, she truly hadn’t expected it to grow this large.

If not for their mental connection, she wouldn’t have dared to confirm that the creature before her was Snowy. She would have thought it was a lion.

Compared to Snowy’s current size, the nearby fruit trees looked positively miniature.

Moira Lynch carefully sensed Snowy’s changes and discovered that it was currently in a state of rapid growth. It must have eaten something to cause this situation.

This was like forcing a growth spurt on a child.

However, this kind of accelerated growth had no downsides.

But Snowy was young, born only recently, and couldn’t adapt to such a drastic change. That’s why it had entered this self-preservation state.

’That reminds me, Snowy is here... so where did the lion go?’

The two of them had disappeared together.

Moira Lynch looked around and finally discovered an even larger behemoth not far away.

If Snowy was a giant white sticky rice ball, then the one before her now was an even larger white sticky rice ball—a sticky rice ball with wings.

As if sensing Moira Lynch’s gaze, the giant, winged sticky rice ball before her suddenly twitched, then slowly unfurled.

A few dozen seconds later, it had transformed into a towering, colossal beast.

Moira Lynch stood frozen, feeling she wasn’t even as tall as the fur on its leg.

Fortunately, Moira Lynch didn’t sense any hostility from the creature. Otherwise, she really would have freaked out.

The colossal beast slowly lowered its head, its pair of dream-like blue eyes gazing at Moira Lynch, full of limpid innocence.

Its pink nose suddenly drew near, seemingly wanting to nuzzle Moira Lynch, but because it didn’t control its strength well, it knocked her flat on her butt.

Even without any real force behind it, the fall still made Moira Lynch wince in pain.

Seeing this, the beast’s eyes filled with grievance.

A soft, pleading rumble came from its throat, as if to apologize.

But it had forgotten its own current size.

It thought its voice was very soft, but to Moira Lynch’s ears, it was deafening.

"Alright, alright, I know you didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t blame you."

Moira Lynch gathered her courage and reached out to touch the beast’s nose.

Even though the creature showed no malice—and was in fact being quite friendly—Moira Lynch still felt a little breathless.

After all, this wasn’t a real beast, but a Spiritual Body.

The size of a Spiritual Body indicated the strength of its master’s spiritual power.

"A Spiritual Body this massive... just how powerful must its master’s true form be?"

’To lose your own Spiritual Body... that person must be worried sick.’

The giant beast just stared with its big, watery eyes, as if it didn’t understand what she was saying.

After having its nose stroked a few times, the beast suddenly left, striding gracefully over to Snowy’s side.

It stretched out a paw, scooped the white sticky rice ball into its embrace, and began to diligently groom its fur.

Watching the beast’s practiced movements, Moira Lynch couldn’t help but blush.

’I get it now. This beast’s master must be a total rogue.’

Moira Lynch wanted to make it stop, but the power gap was too great. No matter how she shouted, it was as if the beast couldn’t hear her, completely ignoring her.

After shouting a few times to no avail, Moira Lynch decisively gave up.

She consoled herself with the thought that it was just a Spiritual Body being groomed a bit, no big deal.

’If it wants to groom it, so be it. It’s a good way to get its fur clean, anyway.’

Then, deciding that what she couldn’t see couldn’t bother her, she left the space.

The time was now three or four in the afternoon, but it was already completely dark outside.

Moira Lynch opened her Intelligent Brain. The first message was a joint announcement from all the major bases.

The announcement urged ordinary people to stick together for warmth, preferably in groups of ten or more, and to help one another. It also warned that no one should go out after dark and that the fires in their rooms must not be allowed to go out. Otherwise, they would have to bear the consequences themselves.

Just then, Shane Rhodes came over and said, "I just received news. There have been incidents of Iceborne attacking people in the base."

"Iceborne?"

Shane Rhodes nodded. "That’s the name the base gave those monsters. They look very similar to humans, but their entire bodies are made of blue ice. Anyone who touches them or gets too close turns into an ice sculpture. On top of that, they have enormous feet."

"The footprints we found in the yard before were probably left by the Iceborne," Moira Lynch said.

She, of course, already knew this.

"Right now, it’s confirmed that the Iceborne are afraid of fire and all heat sources, but the reason for their appearance hasn’t been figured out yet. Captain Shepard told us to be careful recently. The base detected that Sector A is an area where several Iceborne are frequently active.

The only reason the Iceborne haven’t dared to approach is because the fireplace in our house has never gone out.

Moira Lynch nodded, turned to add some more wood to the fireplace, then closed her eyes, controlling the Golden Celestial Eye to fly around outside.

She wanted to see if she could find any traces of the Iceborne.

However, she made a half-circle in the sky but found nothing.

’Could the Iceborne be entering the base from somewhere else?’

Just as Moira Lynch was thinking this, she suddenly noticed the door of a house in Sector B slowly opening. A dozen or so figures walked out one after another.

Putting aside the fact that it was already dark and no one should be going out at this hour, their expressions were completely numb, as if they couldn’t feel the cold at all.

Moira Lynch’s intuition told her that there was definitely something wrong with these people.

Sure enough, a moment later, they started taking off their clothes.

After they had stripped off all their clothes, their skin began to change.

First, it turned pale, then slowly shifted to blue.
