Qin Su slept for a full nineteen hours before waking up the next afternoon.
"Master, you need to rest even more now."
Xie Erxun looked sorrowful. He tried everything he could, even concentrating his blood for Qin Su to consume, but he still couldn't stop her from entering hibernation.
"Don't worry, aren't we looking for a way to break the hibernation? When I enter hibernation, just put me back to the resort in the space."
Qin Su didn't care. The worst outcome was hibernation, but there was still a chance of waking up, so it wasn't a big deal.
"Alright, stop looking so gloomy. We need to get going soon, and we should leave while I still have three hours of sleep each day."
Xie Erxun didn't dare to delay and immediately packed his luggage.
Hearing that Qin Su was leaving, Zhang Qingqing and her daughter were very reluctant to part with her, but they knew they couldn't stop Qin Su from leaving.
Zhang Qingqing packed a large bag of supplies.
"Miss Qin, I don't have anything good here, these are for you to eat on the road."
Qin Su knew that this was already most of their supplies.
The mother and daughter were already struggling; if she took these supplies, their lives would become even more difficult.
However, seeing the expectant looks in the mother and daughter's eyes, she still took the big bag.
"Thank you very much."
Before leaving, she used her mind to send some of the supplies in her space to the mother and daughter.
Looking at the empty space, Qin Su sighed.
Even after all this time, she still doesn't know what the space progress bar is.
Having been given a second chance at life, she felt that God had given her many questions.
"Master, Xihe City is just ahead!"
Hosokawa City is close to Kyoto and was a bustling metropolis before the apocalypse.
However, after the apocalypse, Xihe City experienced a massive earthquake, turning the entire city into ruins.
The whole way was desolate, with only black, white and gray colors everywhere.
"Master, there's no one here anymore."
"I feel a little chilly."
Qin Su's gaze fell upon the ruins below.
"It's normal for it to feel chilly, after all, many people are buried down there."
Xie Erxun's face turned pale, and he bowed to the ruins.
"I'm sorry, may you have a safe journey and happiness in your next life."
The next life?
In this apocalyptic world, is there any chance of an afterlife?
Should we do it again like she did?
Lost in thought, Qin Su didn't pay attention to her footing and suddenly tripped over a stone, stumbling forward.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a hole opened in the ground, and Qin Su was sucked into it.
"Owner!"
Sher went to pull her up, but he also fell into the hole.
Fortunately, the cave wasn't very deep, and the two were not harmed.
"This looks like a trap."
Xie Erxun looked around in surprise, his expression gradually becoming serious.
“Master, this cave must have been built by people from interstellar space.”
The method used to create this opening is exactly the same as the interstellar excavator; Earth doesn't have such technology.
"In other words, besides you, other interstellar people have come to Earth."
Now she's no longer unfamiliar with the term "interstellar".
Perhaps her rebirth and the secrets she holds are all related to interstellar space.
Now that I've encountered other interstellar people, I naturally want to learn more about them.
"Let's go in and take a look."
The cave is a tunnel that stretches on and on, and you can't see where it leads.
After walking for about ten minutes, the two suddenly heard someone speaking ahead.
“We have been living underground for more than two months, and we have run out of food. If we don’t go up and find a way out, we will starve to death sooner or later.”
"But the base commander won't let us out, and we don't know where the exit is or how to get up."
So these people were arranged to be here before the end of the world, thus avoiding the disaster?
But things are calm outside now, so why can't we go out?
“Master, I smell decay. This smell is very similar to the smell of interstellar crew members before they fall.”
Xie Erxun covered his nose and said.
"Do you have any practices like burying living people with the dead in your interstellar space?"
Qin Su looked at the tunnel again. She had felt something was off earlier, and now it looked even more like the tombs in the Tomb Raider Chronicles.
Xie Erxun glanced around in alarm and nodded stiffly.
"Yes, some high-ranking beings in interstellar space prepare tombs for their deaths, so that many people can be buried with them."
"The tombs here seem to have been built according to that standard as well."
Why should the Earthlings be dragged down with the aliens?
These people knew nothing and were tricked into coming down to earth to await their death.
They were even given hope that the base commander would lead them out of the apocalypse.
But what they didn't know was that the base commander's ultimate goal was to take them down with him!
"Should we go and tell them?"
Seeing that his master was angry, Xie Erxun made a suggestion.
"Need not."
The base chief helped these survivors escape the disaster, so they naturally trusted her more than she, an outsider.
Anyway, they still have supplies, they won't die, so they can wait.
"Let's go check on that interstellar person first."
Fortunately, there were quite a few people at the base, and the two of them blended in without attracting attention.
"The base commander is throwing a banquet today. That's strange. It's nothing serious. Why is the base commander throwing a banquet? Does it mean the disaster is over and we can go up now?"
Everyone was talking about it, and Qin Su and Xie Erxun exchanged a glance.
This banquet is probably a farewell feast, the last meal a person has before they die.
The two of them lowered their heads and found a corner to sit down.
A variety of delicacies were served one by one: whole roasted lamb, Boston lobster, Western-style steak, French snails, caviar, wild yellow croaker, premium cherries, bicolor strawberries...
Everyone stared wide-eyed. Let alone in the apocalypse, even before the apocalypse, collecting these fruits depended on the timing and the amount of money in one's pocket.
Qin Su looked at Xie Erxun: "We're both interstellar people, but he's doing much better than you."
Xie Erxun didn't care at all: "So what? He just has a little money. I don't even know if he got it by cheating people. I'm innocent and kind, and I would never do anything immoral."
Qin Su smiled and said, "That's true. It seems that your strengths are still quite prominent."
Xie Erxun nodded repeatedly: "Master, you finally know my strengths."
He took a cherry and put it in his mouth, but stopped abruptly when it reached his lips.
"The cherries have been poisoned."
As he spoke, he smelled it again, his expression growing increasingly serious.
"It is highly toxic, takes effect within two hours, and is incurable once it takes effect. Moreover, this poison comes from interstellar space."
Qin Su also picked up a cherry and smelled it; it did indeed have a strange medicinal smell.
"It seems the base commander is about to die. He's probably afraid that these people will find a way out after he dies, so he's taking the initiative and poisoning them first."
