Chapter 49
Perhaps his prayers really worked, as the trail of white fox footprints never stopped. Following the trail, no foul creatures suddenly jumped out to attack along the way.
On the contrary it is very safe.
Reason told him that this might be because the white fox's fighting ability was not strong. It had its own survival rules, which was to avoid danger. So by following it, he did not encounter any violent filth.
Emotionally, he now felt that the white fox must have been sent by the gods.
There was silence all around again. Occasionally, a dead bird with only bones left would fly by in the sky, strange plants would rustle in the mud, and small filthy creatures would emerge from the snow and then disappear again.
I don’t know how long I walked, nor how low the temperature dropped. Luo could only keep walking, sniffing his nose. When he was hungry, he would take a bite of steamed bun, and his throat was scratched and hurt.
He drank the icy water as usual.
It should be more than minus 40 degrees Celsius now, maybe minus 50 degrees Celsius.
It could get even worse.
I don't know what happened to the safe zone.
Maybe he should listen to his brother and not run around. He is not a savior. In this white world, he is smaller than a snowflake.
The weather seemed to be deliberately against him. Not only did the sky darken, but snow began to fall from the sky again.
A Luo's eyes suddenly widened: "No! No way!"
The snow will cover the white fox's footprints, and he will completely lose his light in the snow.
But no matter how he roared in pain, the heavy snow quickly covered the white fox's traces.
If he had not walked for a long time, looking at the traceless white mist, Luo would even suspect that everything was just an illusion before his death.
Perhaps there is no such thing as a white fox.
The life in A Luo's gray eyes dimmed little by little, and he continued walking with heavy steps.
His joints were aching, and the soft snow was harder to walk on than flat ground. He was almost out of strength, and the scrapes on his face from the car had dried up, covered with a layer of frost.
Until finally he was exhausted and fell forward in the snow. As if he was inspired by something, he raised his head with difficulty and saw a warm light appearing in the snow.
It looks so warm, like a ray of light shining into the abyss, an oasis in the desert.
Is it because he is dying that he sees this mirage?
A Luo didn't believe that was true.
But even in death, people tend to move towards the light. They want to die in that light.
It looks so warm.
This sudden belief supported him, so he stumbled to his feet and walked towards the light, until he reached the front of the light. The mirage did not disappear, and the distance between them was only an arm's length.
A Luo looked up in confusion, but finally fainted.
At the moment when his consciousness completely fell into a coma, he finally saw those two words - [Hotel]
...
"He's awake."
"Luckily, I fainted at the door of the hotel."
"I'm really lucky and have a great life."
Who is speaking? Is he still alive?
A Luo opened his eyes. His head was still hurting from the impact when the car rolled over.
When he saw everything around him clearly, he was almost stunned. He instinctively touched his body and only felt a thin piece of clothing underneath - his clothes had been taken off.
"Who are you? Where are my things?!" Luo was panicked, like a stray dog that had just been picked up and brought home.
"Don't be nervous." Wen Bei came over to comfort him, "Your things are all stored there."
He pointed to the lockers nearby.
A Luo swallowed and finally realized that the surroundings were so warm that he did not feel cold even though he was wearing such thin clothes.
The people around were the same. Although they all had their own deformities, they were all dressed neatly and comfortably, and no one wrapped themselves up too tightly.
And the young man in front of him, A Luo was even more dumbfounded.
Even before the apocalypse, he had never seen such a good-looking person. After the apocalypse, he was used to seeing people in the safe zone not washing their hair or faces. When he first saw such a clean person, he actually felt a little embarrassed.
There was a dullness in A Luo's voice: "Is this heaven?"
“Puff.”
His words made the mercenaries around him laugh, and finally someone couldn't stand it anymore and explained the hotel to him.
Seeing his unbelievable look, Wen Bei, as the boss, was very patient. He asked with squinting eyes, "Do you want to eat something first?"
"Eat?" A Luo scratched his head stupidly. He looked very nervous. "I have dry food."
The ones that are hard as rocks?
Wen Bei shook his head: "Your current pollution level is a bit dangerous. I suggest you eat some hotel food."
He didn't mean to pry into A Luo's privacy, but after all, he was the one who discovered A Luo when he was feeding the little white flowers and saved his life, so he always needed to know the situation of the person he saved.
Fortunately, A Luo didn't mind. He looked down at his detection bracelet and saw that the pollution level had soared to eighty-five.
"how so?"
A Luo had never encountered such a rapid increase in pollution levels, even though he had not eaten anything indiscriminately.
Boji had come over at some point. He pushed up his black-framed glasses and explained, "Is this your first time out of the base?"
"I'm from the safe zone, and this is indeed my first time outside the safe zone."
Hearing that A Luo was from the safe zone, Bo Ji was a little surprised, but he quickly returned to normal. "Yeah, it's all the same. You haven't adapted to the outside air for too long. Leaving the shield that can block pollution, the pollution level will increase. But not everyone will be this serious the first time. You're just unlucky."
"I'm unlucky to have encountered this heavy snow. It's common sense that rain in the apocalypse will cause pollution levels to rise, and snow will also cause it to rise."
After Bo Ji finished speaking, he was slightly puzzled: "With such heavy snow, why don't you just stay in the safe zone?"
People in the safe zone rarely go out on missions like the mercenaries in the base. They only need to maintain the minimum living conditions, even if they live like the walking dead like cavemen.
As a researcher who is often out of the spotlight, Bo Ji is sometimes frighteningly honest.
Wen Bei didn't let A Luo feel embarrassed for too long. He took A Luo to the restaurant and said, "Let's eat first."
A Luo was unconscious for a long time. If it weren't for the Polluter's good physique, he would have had a high fever from torturing himself like this.
Wen Bei sometimes envied the physique of these polluters. It was too cold in the snow and he couldn't adapt at all.
A Luo started to get nervous again: "I don't have any crystals on me..."
As he spoke, he began to feel ashamed again.
The boss looks like a nice person, but he is so poor that he has nothing.
Most people in the safe zone are very poor, and the crystals they have are only enough for food. He never thought it was a big deal before, but now he feels so uncomfortable.
Wen Bei: "Do you have ten crystals?"
A Luo foolishly touched the crystal on his body and said, "Yes."
Exactly ten.
Wen Bei curled his eyes and said, "That's enough for a meal."
What can you eat with ten crystals?
In the safe zone, you can exchange for a few dry biscuits that even dogs can't chew, in the base you can drink a bowl of soup with a moderate pollution level, and in the hotel, it is enough to eat a hot dumpling soup that can warm the stomach and heal the pollution.
A Luo couldn't believe it: "Really?"
Even if he only lives in a safe zone, he still has a lot of common sense for the end of the world.
He knew that a serving of dumplings like this could fetch a sky-high price at the base.
Wen Bei nodded, took his money directly, and pushed the dumpling soup towards him: "Eat quickly."
Without any hesitation, A Luo started eating voraciously as if he was afraid that he would regret it.
If it were normal, he might have some doubts, but at this moment his life was saved, even if Wen Bei told him with a smile that there was poison in it, he would eat it without hesitation.
If there is a god, it must be someone like the innkeeper.
A Luo knew that he was eating in a mess, but he couldn't control himself. Not only did he drink up all the soup, he even licked the bottom of the bowl clean.
My stomach suddenly felt full, and I finally felt that I was still alive.
A Luo looked at the data on his watch and saw that the pollution level had dropped by three points.
He looked up at Wen Bei blankly. He didn't expect that what those people in the hall had just said was true. At first he thought these people were crazy.
Ah Luo looked at Wen Bei, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally said what was in his heart: "Are you, are you a god?"
Wen Bei was amused for a moment, with a glint in his cat's eyes: "Why are you either in heaven or in the immortal realm?"
Seeing him smile, A Luo's palms were sweating with nervousness: "You must be a god."
Only gods can do this kind of thing.
Wen Bei restrained his smile and said, "Can I ask you a question?"
A Luo nodded quickly: "Of course!"
"How did you find this place?" Wen Bei was a little curious.
Huang Qian looked at the injuries and limbs on his body and said that he had walked a long way to get here, but he was from the safe zone.
The hotel's reputation probably hasn't spread to the safe zone yet.
"White Fox, it was a white fox that brought me here."
Wen Bei was also surprised by A Luo's answer without hesitation.
White fox? He had never heard of it.
Ah Luo looked at him anxiously: "God..."
Wen Bei was a little amused and said, "You can call me boss or Wen Bei."
How could Ah Luo dare to address the immortal by his name, so he could only follow the others and call out to the boss: "Boss, I beg you to save my brother and sister too!"
After A Luo finished speaking, he almost knelt down to Wen Bei.
Wen Bei quickly grabbed him and asked, "Where are your brother and sister?"
A Luo: "In the safe zone, they are still in the safe zone. There are over a thousand people inside and they are almost out of food!"
"Please."
A Luo didn't want the food provided by the hotel, he just wanted to retrieve the food that was sent back to the base for emergency use.
But it is impossible for him to do it alone. If he continues to be so reckless, he will definitely die outside.
After escaping death once, A Luo was particularly afraid of death.
Wen Bei tilted his head helplessly: "I'm just a hotel owner."
Before A Luo could say something, a terrifying gaze suddenly came from behind him, falling directly on Wen Bei's hands that were supporting him.
Qiu Tinge walked over with the corners of his lips curled: "What are you talking about?"
Luo's legs almost went weak as he stared blankly at the handsome man walking towards him. He put his arms around his boss's slender waist intimately, but the look in his eyes when he glanced over was like that of a wild beast that would pounce and tear at any time, with an undisguised warning and murderous intent.
A Luo stepped back suddenly, putting some distance between himself and Wen Bei, his eyes filled with panic.
Wen Bei was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
He skillfully slapped away Qiu Ting's dishonest hands, twisted his strong waist hard, and signaled him to be quiet.
Qiu Tin was unhappy, but he allowed Wen Bei to do what he wanted, and the murderous intent he saw in A Luo became more obvious.
A Luo: "No, nothing."
How could such a terrifying person appear around the gods...
