“That makes sense. Holy spirit beasts are different from monsters. Eating them should increase physical strength! But those holy spirits are a different story. They look like humans, and it’s creepy to eat them!” Ning Yanlan pouted.
"You don't actually intend to eat someone's Holy Spirit, do you?" Jiang Yuan asked jokingly.
"Not necessarily! If we're forced into a corner, what's wrong with eating Holy Spirit? We should still eat what we need to eat!" Ning Yanlan said seriously.
"I didn't realize you were so ruthless!" Jiang Yuan wasn't mocking her; on the contrary, he felt that Ning Yanlan's words made sense.
The world is like this now, who doesn't live a life as difficult as an ant? If they are really forced to the brink of despair, they might do even more disgusting things.
"Is this ruthless? You've forgotten about that hunting team from last time. They were a complete bunch of lunatics! They ate living people. They were seriously insane!" Ning Yanlan was extremely disgusted by the behavior of those lunatics. They were not human at all.
"They seem to still have a large force, but I don't know if there are any of their people in the South City!" Jiang Yuan remembered Sun Gaoyuan's dying words. Obviously, those people were only a small part, and there were many more morbid lunatics like them.
"Growing by sucking the blood of their own kind will only lead to their destruction. Once I become strong, I will definitely kill them all!" Ning Yanlan said angrily.
"Looks like you haven't forgotten your duties as a police officer!" Jiang Yuan laughed.
"How could I forget! But I am very clear that the weak are not worthy of the power to impose sanctions!" Ning Yanlan is not a hothead who relies solely on passion.
With meat in his mouth and his hands behind his head, Jiang Yuan lay down on the roof. "I still prefer my old life. I could just lie down anywhere and not worry about life or death. I could find a job, get married, and have children. It was ordinary and simple!"
"You're so lazy! It's only been a few days and you're already tired of this life!" Ning Yanlan complained.
“It’s not that I’m lazy, it’s just that I’m too tired! Do you think we’ve had any rest these past few days?” Jiang Yuan said, chewing on his meat. “Every day we’re on the go, competing with monsters to grow stronger, afraid that if we’re even a step behind, we’ll die at the hands of monsters and holy spirits.”
"Sigh!" Ning Yanlan sat down, poured herself a drink, handed a glass to Jiang Yuan, and said, "It's okay, just treat it like playing a game! If we die one day, we can just quit the game!"
"You're really optimistic!" Jiang Yuan was amused by these remarks. With such a mindset, one must live a carefree life. But reality is different from a game. Dying is not as simple as quitting the game.
Ning Yanlan picked up her cup and took a sip. "Actually, compared to being tired, I'm more afraid of walking alone in this unfamiliar world!"
As she spoke, Ning Yanlan laughed to herself, "You have no idea, I was actually scared to death when I went back to the Public Security Bureau last time. Do you know that feeling?"
"Walking through an empty city, and having to be constantly on guard against monsters, I don't know how much courage I mustered to go!"
"Ha ha!"
"Luckily I ran into you, otherwise I don't know which monsters I would have been fed to!" Ning Yanlan said with lingering fear.
"No, no, no, now only monsters are feeding us!" Jiang Yuan shook the roasted meat in his hand. "Perhaps in the eyes of those monsters, we are the real monsters!"
"You're the monster!" Ning Yanlan protested, waving her fist. "If all monsters looked as good as me, you could form a harem of three thousand if you were dumped in the wild!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
After finishing her drink, Ning Yanlan followed Jiang Yuan's example and lay down on the roof, but the angle of the tilt made her subconsciously reach out and grab Jiang Yuan with one hand.
"How big do you think this golden gate is?"
The two, who had been chatting about everything under the sun, eventually set their sights on the golden gate hanging high in the sky.
Jiang Yuan frowned upon hearing Ning Yanlan's question. "I can't answer that question, but since the Golden Gate can completely block out the sun, it must be quite large!"
“The other side of the earth is the Crystal Monument. Do you think we might be used as a sandwich?” Ning Yanlan suddenly had a whimsical thought.
"You really have a knack for thinking!" Jiang Yuan said, both amused and exasperated. What kind of question was this? "You'd need an astronomer to talk to you about this; my level is a bit too high!"
“Alright, let’s go watch the sunrise! No, let’s go out the door!” Ning Yanlan shifted her body, and the two lay side by side on the roof.
"Why don't you rest for a while? I'll call you when there's any change at the Golden Gate!" Jiang Yuan suggested.
Tomorrow we're going to the trading area. Ning Yanlan's physical condition is far inferior to his, so it will definitely be hard for her to stay up all night.
"Then I'll sleep for an hour?" Ning Yanlan was indeed sleepy, but since she was the one who said she wanted to watch the sunrise, she was embarrassed to say she was sleepy.
Jiang Yuan took out the Holy Spirit Source. "It's okay, I'll wake you up at six. Sleep a little longer!"
