Qiao Yuan suddenly opened her eyes and then saw the person vomiting blood...

It was Qiao Erlin?!

Qiao Yuan originally thought she should just ignore him and pretend she didn't know anything.

But after thinking about it, she realized that she didn't have many people left to use. Qiao Erlin was useless against Bo Shiwu and Qiao He, but he was still somewhat useful against other bad guys.

What if this guy later awakens superpowers?

Wouldn't she make an even bigger profit then?

So Qiao Yuan hurriedly got up to check on Qiao Erlin's condition, and what she saw shocked her!

Qiao Yuan had never seen anyone vomit so much blood; it was as if all the blood in the person was about to drain out.

At this point, the rest of the Qiao family hadn't even noticed?!

How soundly are they sleeping?!

Qiao Yuan cried out in alarm, "Second Brother! Second Brother, what's wrong with you?!"

"Big brother...! Big brother, wake up! Save second brother, he's vomiting so much blood!"

Qiao Yuan was so anxious that tears were about to stream down her face; her eyes were red at the corners, and her voice was full of worry and panic.

This shout woke everyone up. Qiao Yimu rushed to check on Qiao Erlin's condition and his face instantly turned ashen.

Mr. Qiao asked anxiously, "What happened? Why did Erlin suddenly vomit blood?! And become like this?!"

Qiao's mother was also extremely worried and rushed to check on Qiao Erlin's condition.

Qiao Yimu glanced at Qiao Erlin's pupils, which were already beginning to dilate...

"It's...it's hopeless..." Qiao Yimu muttered like a walking corpse.

Hearing this, Qiao Yuan was slightly stunned, and then unleashed her best acting skills: "Hopeless?! How can there be no hope! Big brother... Big brother, please take another look at second brother, see what's wrong with him!"

"Waaaaah... Second brother... Second brother, you have to hang in there! You're my loving and caring second brother, I can't live without you, second brother!"

"Second brother... second brother, wake up... you're joking with me, right? This... this blood is fake, you're just lying to me..."

Qiao Yuan's tears flowed freely, and she cried more and more sadly, making the atmosphere very oppressive.

Qiao Yimu stared at Qiao Erlin's gradually cooling body, his eyes turning extremely ugly. He could hear his sister crying, but he was powerless to save Qiao Erlin.

There was no equipment, no resources, and certainly no scalpels!

Even if he wanted to perform surgery on Qiao Erlin, he was powerless to do so!

Just when Qiao Yimu felt despair, he suddenly felt a powerful force surge in his hand. It was a strange warm current that passed through his hand and fingertips and finally emitted a soft light. Then, those points of light entered Qiao Erlin's body.

After that...

Qiao Yimu was surprised to find that Qiao Erlin's injuries had healed on their own!

Broken bones, and those ribs, including internal organs pierced by the ribs...

Everything seems to be getting better.

Qiao Yimu's pupils constricted slightly; he could hardly believe his eyes.

What... what kind of ability is this?

Why did he become like this?!

Qiao Erlin's injuries have healed, but can he continue to live?!

Qiao Yimu was unaware of the situation because he hadn't had time to check on Qiao Erlin's condition before he himself fainted due to exhaustion of his supernatural abilities.

...

All of this happened without Qiao He's knowledge.

The next morning, Qiao He got up very early. She was stunned for a moment, then muttered, "Why didn't you wake me up... you let me sleep until now."

The system was giving me all sorts of supplies, many of which were related to Thin Fog.

For example, the toothpaste that Bo Shiwu used, and the breakfasts he made...

Qiao He was quite helpless. The "slacking off" system was getting more and more arbitrary. At least give us a brand new tube of toothpaste!

What does it mean to use toothpaste that's been used by a person with a thin mist?!

Even though I only used it once, it still counts as having used it!

Can you please stop making her sound like that weirdo who loves collecting things that Bo Shiwu has used...?

The "Slacking Off System" said in a serious tone: "If you don't want it, just throw it away or refuse to accept it."

Qiao He rolled her eyes at him: 【Of course! Why would I throw it away? Even though I used it once, it's still toothpaste!】

[Once he finishes using all the toothpaste, I'll secretly replace it with the toothpaste from my spatial storage.]

The "Slacking Off System": [...] You're really something.

Qiao He chuckled. Bo Shiwu probably wouldn't even realize that she could use up her toothpaste so many times over.

Just then, Bo Shiwu called her over for breakfast.

The breakfast selection wasn't extensive, but the porridge was warm and comforting, enough to fill you up.

That's enough for Qiao He; she's not picky.

After the meal, everyone continued walking uphill.

They had to find a safe haven before nightfall, otherwise they would have nowhere to stay and would have to squeeze into tents, where they might be targeted by wild animals.

After all, it wasn't easy for wild animals to survive at this time; they needed food, and humans were naturally delicious live prey for them.

Unconsciously, she continued walking uphill. Qiao He didn't know how long she had walked. When she stopped, she held her waist and was panting heavily.

"I'm exhausted, when will we finally find a good place..."

"Sigh, this is too difficult." Qiao He's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Bo Shiwu said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it should be soon."

Qiao He seemed thoughtful. "I hope so."

Qiao He took out his phone and glanced at it. Due to the heavy rain and the arrival of tornadoes and typhoons, many communication base stations had begun to be destroyed. Now that Qiao He was in the deep mountains, it was normal that he could not connect to the network at this time.

Actually, Qiao He just wanted to find out online what stage the flood had reached.

Qiao He stopped and looked down the mountain.

The places they had been, and the places they had visited, all seemed to be submerged by water at first glance.

The sewage was murky and foul, mixed with some decaying human corpses...

There were elderly people, children, and some young people who knew they were pets—chickens, cattle, and sheep raised in the countryside.

They were all submerged in the massive flood!

Qiao He glanced at it once and then stopped looking.

It seems the flood hasn't reached its peak yet, but even so, it has still killed quite a few people.

The power of nature is immense, and if humanity offends nature, it will suffer severe consequences!

Isn't that exactly the case now?

Qiao He smiled faintly and said, "We will definitely survive."

Bo Shiwu nodded, picked up Lin Qiaolai and continued walking forward. The five cats obediently followed Qiao He, responsible for protecting her, so that the cunning Bo Shiwu wouldn't use any tricks that would backfire on the enemy.

“Let’s go, Qiao He,” Bo Shiwu said softly.

She didn't know where her path lay, but if she kept moving forward, there would always be a way to survive. Even if there wasn't, Qiao He would forge her own path!

Just as Qiao He and his group approached the summit, they suddenly heard a familiar yet somewhat disgusting voice behind them—

"Xiao He! Qiao He!!! Do you still remember me?"
