Pre-order novel: “This Male Lead is a Bit Crazy!”
—
Wu Yue opened a book and signed a contract with a system as a newcomer. Her task was to travel to small worlds and play the rol...
Chapter 117: Captain of the Doomsday 5: Give Him Oxygen
The cabins were almost all destroyed, with ruins and charcoal ash all over the ground. There were only a few left standing, and they had been searched, but there was nothing inside, let alone food, which was very precious in the end times.
Wu Yue was quite disappointed, but also expected to be. She wasn't the first to arrive; those who had come before her had already plundered everything.
It is already daybreak, but not too late. The sky is just a little brighter than the night, but still dim.
Lu Shang was also looking beside her. He was carrying Wu Yue's bag, which contained the data files she carried with her.
He was still searching with a stick in his hand, but his hands were more convenient. They were stained with carbon dust and his fingertips were very black.
Lu Shang dug through the pile of charcoal in the rubble and saw something hidden underneath. "Captain Wu, come and take a look."
"What's wrong?" Wu Yue walked over immediately.
"There is food here!" Lu Shang looked back at her with a smile in his eyes.
Wu Yue was also infected by the good mood. She came to Lu Shang and pulled away the other charcoal that was blocking the way. She really saw the food hidden underneath. It was sealed very well and was intact.
She pulled it out with great force. Because of the material used to preserve the food, it was not burnt or crushed. After opening it, the food was still fresh, without any bad smell, and was edible.
"Professor Lu, you're amazing." Wu Yue praised the discoverer, "Not only are you great at academics, but you're also great at finding things."
Lu Shang pushed his glasses up, a little embarrassed. "Captain Wu is exaggerating. I'm just doing the little things I can do. It's not as impressive as Captain Wu going through so much trouble to find me."
The two praised each other in business, and Wu Yue stopped talking nonsense.
They returned to the secluded hut where they were staying, took out a pot they had found, and Wu Yue built a simple stove with a few bricks. She placed the pot with the flattened bottom on it, lit a fire with her fire ability, and cooked a simple bowl of egg clear noodle soup.
Fortunately, we found some water, which was barely enough. However, washing at night became a problem because there was no water source here.
Wu Yue sighed, wishing she had a spatial ability or a water ability, so that her survival rate would be higher and she could have a better quality of life.
Especially the space ability, which can store many necessary daily necessities, so there is no need to find ways to find them.
The best thing is the all-round ability, you can use whatever you want.
Scoop out some seasoning so that breakfast isn't too bland.
Wu Yue cleaned up a broken bowl and filled it up, "Professor Lu, you can eat now."
Since there were no chopsticks, she used materials available and cut two, which were barely usable.
Lu Shang was reading some information. Upon hearing this, he looked up at Wu Yue. His eyes, facing the light, seemed to have the green color of spring, but it only flashed by for a moment.
He put down the information and took it with both hands, "Thank you. What about you? Is there any more in the pot?"
"some."
Wu Yue cooks enough.
The two of them didn't have much to talk about, so they ate breakfast quietly. Wu Yue sat at the door, mainly watching for any danger around, acting as a bodyguard.
Hearing the voice behind her, she turned around and asked, "Professor Lu, are you full? I'll go wash the dishes."
"No, I can do it myself. I've already troubled you enough." Lu Shang smiled and dodged the hand. "I'm not a useless person. I can still do this little thing myself."
"Oh, right." He bent over as he walked out, then turned back to look at Wu Yue, "We're going to travel together from now on. Captain Wu, you don't have to keep calling me Professor Lu. That's too polite. Just call me by my name."
Wu Yue nodded vigorously, "Lu Shang."
Lu Shang smiled.
He still had some water that Wu Yue had brought back earlier, so he simply washed it and took Wu Yue's water with him, and asked, "When are we leaving?"
Wu Yue said, "Anytime is fine, as long as Lu... you've had a good rest."
His tone was a little anxious, "Okay, let's go now."
Wu Yue didn't ask any more questions, simply packed up her things, got up and left.
However, on the way back, she saw Lu Shang's face becoming more and more serious, and she became worried, "What happened?"
"I don't know. I have a feeling that danger is coming." Lu Shang frowned. He himself was not sure about what he said.
Wu Yue had no doubts and immediately made a decision, "Let's find a secluded place to hide first."
"Do you believe what I say?"
"I believe it." Wu Yue nodded. "There are all kinds of strange superpowers that will be triggered in the end times. Perhaps this is one of your superpowers. Maybe you can sense danger."
Furthermore, Lu Shang was no ordinary man; he was a young professor. The fact that he was so highly regarded by the nation was proof enough of his prowess.
Even ordinary people are inherently more powerful than most of the supernatural beings who were fortunate enough to activate their powers in the apocalypse. While violence may be useful in the early stages, it doesn't last long. Over time, even the most powerful will eventually be destroyed.
Lu Shang looked at her deeply, with the corners of his mouth raised, "Okay, then follow me."
He stretched out his hand.
Wu Yue didn't understand what he was doing, but she still placed her hand on him trustingly. When he wrapped her hand around her, her skin felt slightly cold.
"They're coming."
Lu Shang pulled her to his side, then turned and ran.
who?
Wu Yue didn't understand what was going on and subconsciously followed Lu Shang's pace. She looked back and was also stunned.
I saw the leaves shaking violently, and then the whole tree soon became bare. All the leaves were eaten, and even the trunk was eaten from the inside out.
In just a blink of an eye, the entire tree was reduced to an empty shell, and the flying ants hidden inside flew out buzzing, filling the sky densely.
Some flying ants are poisonous in themselves, and they become even more terrifying after mutating in the apocalypse. If you are bitten and don't receive timely treatment, you will soon die from the poison.
Wu Yue didn't notice it when she came, but now she's unlucky enough to run into it when she goes back.
But nothing is absolute in this world, and it is impossible for her to check every tree for danger. Flying ants are very good at hiding and will not be easily discovered.
There are so many of them that guns are useless. Even if you use your superpowers to burn them, they won't last long. They will fly from all directions and even hide in the mounds on the ground. If you accidentally step on their nest, your whole leg will be crippled.
Lu Shang explained to her, "My ears have been very sensitive since I was a child. Maybe, as you said, there will be changes when the end of the world comes. I heard the sound just now."
"If you hadn't discovered it in time, we would both be in trouble." She wanted to lean against a tree to rest just now, but she was scared just thinking about it.
Humans cannot outrun winged mutants, and they don't have wind-based abilities to help them, so they can only rely on their legs.
Wu Yue released his special powers while running. The mutant flying ants in front died, but those behind surged up again. The ones in front were not all dead yet, and some still escaped.
She had to take care of the back and couldn't see the road ahead, so she could only let Lu Shang lead her, which was unconditional trust.
But after running for a while, Lu Shang stopped and Wu Yue bumped into his back.
She asked breathlessly, "What's wrong?"
"There's a small slope ahead, and there's no way to go any further." Lu Shang was embarrassed. "I'm sorry, it's my fault for taking you down the wrong path."
"careful!"
He suddenly pulled Wu Yue in front of him and moved sideways to block the attacking flying ants. The flying ants bit his arm in one bite, and Lu Shang frowned in pain.
Although Wu Yue was burned to death immediately, the poison of the flying ants spread quickly. His face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Lu Shang, how are you?" Wu Yue protected him while releasing her supernatural powers.
"I, I'm fine..." Lu Shang wanted to shake his head, but double images appeared in front of his eyes, his body swayed, and he fainted the next second.
Wu Yue supported him in time and let Lu Shang fall into her arms.
But the weight and physique of a big man are not light, and she also has to deal with the dense swarms of mutant flying ants, which is very difficult.
If this continues, they will both die here.
Wu Yue looked back at the turbulent stream at the bottom of the slope, then looked at the mutated flying ants. She released a sea of fire to protect them, and then tied the two together with a rope.
She dragged the unconscious Lu Shang to the edge of the slope, and without any hesitation, she turned over and fell down with him.
After they fell into the water, mutant flying ants swarmed around the place where they fell and lingered for a long time.
They have become smarter and know how to keep watch.
Wu Yue can hold her breath for a while because she has received professional training, but Lu Shang can't, and he is still in a coma.
After entering the water, there was water pressure. He opened his lips and the water poured in, and he was deprived of oxygen.
Wu Yue pulled him for a walk. Seeing Lu Shang's condition, she didn't think too much about it. She bent down and kissed him to give him oxygen.
