"Oh, that..." the young scavenger said casually, "They're digging for food."
"food?"
"There is a type of fungus growing underground here, similar to mushrooms, which is our daily food."
"With the demonic energy so severely polluted on this continent, aren't you afraid of getting sick from eating this?"
"My lord, you are unaware of this. This fungus is very special. It is a new variety that has mutated in the years following the Demon Tide. It can grow in large quantities underground in an environment with severe demonic energy pollution, and it will not be mixed with too much demonic energy pollution."
The young scavenger paused, gave a wry smile, and shook his head: "Besides, in this environment, we're lucky if we have any food at all. A lot of plants have withered and died due to the pollution of demonic energy, and almost all the animals in the human world have either mutated or become extinct. What else can we possibly choose?"
Linna was silent for a moment, then said, "That makes sense."
The young scavenger left.
Lin Nai lay down on the bed, put her feet up, and then rested with her arms behind her head, closing her eyes to rest.
She came to his bedside at night, leaned down and slowly approached him, her nose almost touching his: "You really have a big heart, you actually fell asleep like that?"
Lin Nai opened her eyes and looked at Ye Wan'er closely: "Otherwise, I was exhausted after fighting a big battle in Fed City and spending half an hour in the void world."
Night said, "Don't you think there was something strange about those people just now?"
Lin Nai smiled and said, "Yeah, something's not right, it's really not right. But they are indeed just ordinary people, basically a bunch of trash with average attributes not even 0.5. Are you really afraid that a bunch of ordinary people will harm you?"
Night squinted and asked, "Do you remember what I said when we just got back?"
Linnaeus: "What did you say?"
“I haven’t sensed any human presence around here, but I have smelled quite a few demonic creatures,” Ye Wan’er said seriously. “These people seem to have appeared out of thin air.”
“But they are indeed human,” Linna said. “I’ve examined their souls with my Gray Eyes, and there’s nothing unusual about them.”
Furthermore, Linnai also used the system to check their attributes.
Their human identities were confirmed.
With their base stats of less than 0.5, it's safe to say that even if they wanted to harm someone, Linnai and Yewan'er could stand there and let them hack away, and they wouldn't be able to kill them...
"What if they really have a problem and attract higher-ranking demons?"
Nightfall continued to lower her head, bringing her red eyes even closer to Lin Nai's. Her hair fell onto Lin Nai's face, tickling her.
“Wouldn’t that be even better?” Linna smiled. “I can collect more undead, and I can also capture a few demons to interrogate them.”
"..." Night Elf pouted: "That's why I said you're carefree. Did you just get 1% of the White Death God's power and your strength increased so much that you've become arrogant?"
“Of course not.” Linnai paused, then said slowly, “We’ve just come out of the void, and three years have passed. We need to figure out what happened in these three years. If those people were really problematic, then the information they provided might not be reliable.”
Night fell silent, lost in thought.
Lin Nai looked at the girl's delicate face and smiled: "Are you worried about breaking the ice?"
Night: "...How did you know?"
"I can tell just by looking at your face," Linna said. "What, is your system still unable to contact the Black Angel dimension?"
“…Hmm.” Night’s eyes revealed a hint of worry: “No matter which plane I go to, I’ve never been unable to contact anyone like this before. This time it’s really too abnormal.”
"There's no use worrying like this." Lin Nai patted the spot on the bed next to her. "Come on, go to sleep. No matter what happens to this world, we'll talk about it after we've rested. Don't forget, you were seriously injured when you fought Su Yibai before, and your injuries must have worsened after traveling through the interdimensional tunnel, right?"
Lin Nai used the system to check Ye Wan'er's status panel. Her current panel attribute values were less than one-third of her peak value.
Night squinted her red eyes: "Are you sure you want to rest like this? This bed isn't very big."
"So what?" Lin Nai said nonchalantly, "Weren't we already tightly pressed together back in the void world?"
Night Child: "..."
Lin Nai: "Should I put the Moon Goddess pendant on again to give you some courage?"
Night: "...You dare!"
Lin Nai patted the bed next to her and laughed, "Then let's go. Hesitating like this doesn't seem like you. Didn't you always tease me when we first met? Why can't you do anything about it when it comes to the real thing? All you can do is talk."
"..." Night squinted and said coldly, "Hmph, fine, tonight whoever backs down first is a little dog!"
After saying that, she put one foot on the bed board and stared down at Lin Nai for a while. After hesitating for a moment, she finally lay down next to Lin Nai.
The wooden bed was small. When two people lay on it, they were almost face to face, with only a narrow gap between them, so close that they could clearly hear each other's breathing.
Night felt her heart beating faster, but she didn't show it.
strangeness......
I wasn't this nervous when I got close to him before.
Before, when I approached him, I just thought it was funny how he looked like a shy boy being teased by me.
But now.....
At night, I felt my mind was in turmoil. After lying down for a while, I turned my body away expressionlessly.
Lin Nai whispered behind her, "What, admitting defeat? Ready to be a puppy?"
Night hummed, "I just want to get some rest. Being face to face with you, your breath keeps hitting my face, I can't sleep well at all!"
Lin Nai: "Hmm, that works too."
As night fell, she closed her eyes, wanting to rest as soon as possible and not think about the boy behind her who was causing her so much distress.
At that moment, the body behind me seemed to suddenly move closer.
And then he stretched out his arms and actually hugged her from behind.
Nightfall's body trembled slightly: "...What, what are you doing?"
Linna closed her eyes and said softly, "I am using the power of the God of Love to heal your wounds."
"This time, you were not only injured by Su Yibai's Lord-level power, but also contaminated by the aura of another dimension, making your injuries more severe than before."
"We can't download items from the system space now, and we're out of healing potions. We'll encounter enemies at any time in this wilderness, so you'd better behave yourself."
