Chapter 132 Night Visit to the Shelter
After watching Zhan Yu leave, Ji Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief with a heavy heart.
When she turned around, she saw a resentful man looking at her eagerly.
Ji Wanwan: “…”
Why do I feel powerless when I'm caught cheating?
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Senior, I have something to tell you."
Xu Siming blinked like a wronged young wife: "Is it related to Zhan Yu?"
Ji Wanwan: “…”
I was so angry that I laughed.
She rolled her eyes at Xu Siming in annoyance: "Why don't you try to be so coy again?"
Subdued in one second.
Xu Siming laughed dryly twice: "Hahaha, what's the matter, tell me?"
Ji Wanwan told Xu Siming what she had just asked Zhan Yu: "What do you think about this matter?"
When it came to business, Xu Siming became serious as always: "We still don't know how much of Zhan Yu's words are true or false."
He paused and looked at Ji Wanwan: "Xiao Wan, since you came to ask me, I think you already have a plan in mind. Why don't you tell me your ideas first."
Ji Wanwan's eyes flashed: "Exploring the shelter at night!"
Xu Siming raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
He knew that Ji Wanwan would take action, but he didn't expect Ji Wanwan to be so straightforward.
It's not impossible to visit the shelter at night, but...
Xu Siming thought for a moment and said, "There are only two of us. Isn't it too risky?"
Ji Wanwan shook her head: "It's not a risk.
Judging from Jiang Cheng's current performance, we should be considered T0-level combat power. If we encounter danger, at least protecting ourselves should not be a problem."
The previous series of hard battles in Liancheng left a strong shock on Xu Siming, so much so that he had not yet adjusted to it and treated the Redemption Shelter as the Bai Ze Guild.
He laughed dumbly: "You are right."
Just as the voice fell, Ji Wanwan added: "But you are right, the pride will lead to a fall. We must never underestimate the enemy at any time."
Xu Siming: “…”
Seeing the man's deflated face, Ji Wanwan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She propped her chin up with her hand and asked with a smile: "Senior, tell me, what did you think at the beginning?"
Xu Siming chuckled helplessly: "I think the same as you. If you want to know the truth and secrets of this shelter, it's useless to just listen to others. You have to see it for yourself."
He paused, approached Ji Wanwan mysteriously, and lowered his voice: "Liu Jian took me to visit the shelter just now, and I found something. Do you want to guess what it is?"
Ji Wanwan didn't like guessing and refused very coldly: "No, just say it directly."
Because the rejection was too blunt, Xu Siming felt a lump in his throat and swallowed back the words that were about to come out, almost causing a heart attack.
Someone blinked innocently and poured Xu Siming a glass of water considerately: "Don't be anxious, senior, take your time~"
Xu Siming was so angry that he laughed.
After taking a breath, Xu Siming continued helplessly: "I don't know if it's because my ability level is relatively high, but I can tell at a glance that the fruit forest on the back mountain is a little unusual.
Ordinary fruit forests tend to be full of life, with bursts of fruit fragrance wafting around. However, the fruit forest on the back mountain seems dead. Not only that, I can even faintly smell the stench of a corpse coming from that direction.
I asked Liu Jian indirectly, but he seemed to be unaware of the abnormality in the orchard. He even gave me two fruits, saying they were from the orchard on the back mountain and were crisp and sweet.
Xu Siming took out two green and red fruits from his pocket. The fruits looked a bit like apples, but also a little different.
If there is any difference, it is probably that this fruit is a little smaller than a small apple, and its color is more seductive than that of a small apple.
Ji Wanwan stared at the fruit: "Did Liu Jian say what kind of fruit this is?"
Xu Siming: "Little Apple, isn't this obvious?"
Ji Wanwan: "... Damn, it really is Little Apple."
She took a small apple and felt it in her palm: "Did you eat it?"
Xu Siming shook his head: "Liu Jian only gave me two in total."
Ji Wanwan's eyes turned, and she handed the little apple in her hand to Xu Siming, smiling with a bit of ill intention: "Would you like to try it?"
Xu Siming immediately shook his head like a rattle: "I feel sick just thinking about the stench of corpses. How can I even eat it?"
“Hahaha…” Ji Wanwan withdrew her hand and put the two small apples into the system space: “Just kidding, I’ll put these two small apples away for now and study them when we get back to base.”
Xu Siming nodded slightly: "Okay, so what are we going to do now...?"
Ji Wanwan looked out the window at the orchard on the mountain behind her, narrowing her eyes: "When it gets darker, we'll go up the mountain!"
…
The two of them took a brief nap. At midnight, when the night was darkest, Ji Wanwan took out two sets of dark clothes from the system space and changed into them with Xu Siming. Just in case, Ji Wanwan also took two pistols and two grenades, and gave one to Xu Siming.
Everything was ready. Ji Wanwan took Xu Siming's hand and teleported to the fruit forest in the back mountain.
As soon as he landed, Xu Siming smelled the familiar stench of a corpse.
Unlike in the shelter, the stench of corpses on the mountain was much more noticeable.
Ji Wanwan frowned and said, "It is indeed the stench of a corpse. I smell it too."
Not only that, Ji Wanwan also felt that the soil under her feet was extremely soft, and she almost stepped into two mud pits as soon as she landed.
She frowned in disgust and pulled her foot out of the pit. Not only did she pull it out, but she also pulled out something unexpected.
Looking at the thing on the ground that was glowing white, Ji Wanwan squinted her eyes and said, "Tsk, is this a bone?"
Xu Siming's mouth twitched, and he reached out his hand from under Ji Wanwan's armpit, lifted her up, and moved her to the side: "You know it's a bone, but you're still standing here..."
Ji Wanwan was a little confused by the sudden weightlessness: "Hiss, how do you know there are no bones under where I'm standing?"
Xu Siming: “…6”
In order to confirm her idea, Ji Wanwan controlled her spatial ability and lightly lifted a layer of soil in front of her.
Seeing the scattered bones buried in the soil, Ji Wanwan's eyebrows twitched.
It’s been less than two months since the apocalypse. For a human body buried in the soil to decay into bones, it would take at least three to six months. Could it be that these bones existed before the apocalypse?
After a moment's thought, she turned to look at Xu Siming: "Senior, control the water molecules to sense this orchard and roughly estimate how many bodies are buried underground."
Xu Siming nodded slightly, and a light blue energy wave spread out shallowly.
Soon, Xu Siming opened his eyes in horror.
Feeling the man's breath suddenly become chaotic, Ji Wanwan hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Xu Siming looked down at his feet in disbelief, his voice hoarse: "The corpse pit..."
