Chapter 91: The Elderly (Part 2)
“┗|｀O′|┛嗷~~” The little meat bun stretched lazily. If Song Yuqing had not allowed it, it would definitely lie down and sleep on the spot.
"I'm sleepy too." Liu Xiaona's eyelids were twitching.
Although Song Yuqing wanted to go to the God's Supermarket Service Station at Base Zero, he couldn't hold on any longer when he heard the old man say that it would take an hour to walk.
"Let's go to bed!"
"Come sleep at my place?" The old man tilted his head and held up a finger. "One hour."
No! Song Yuqing, Liu Xiaona and Xiao Roubao shook their heads frantically.
"I really can't walk anymore!" Song Yuqing's legs went limp and he squatted down on the street.
"..." The old man looked at Song Yuqing who was acting badly and shook his head helplessly, "Then where are you going to sleep? If you go to sleep in the space, take me with you, so that I won't be able to find you later."
It was Song Yuqing's turn to be silent. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about putting Gaha, Liu Xiaona, and Little Meat Bun into the space, but this old man, whom she had just met, wasn't suitable for her to be allowed into the space?
Song Yuqing narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the old man's expression.
Although the old man didn't look like a bad person and was kind enough to bring them to Base Zero, they still felt something was strange.
"We won't go into the space, we'll just sleep here."
As the old man stared in astonishment, Song Yuqing took out a tent from his space, set it up in the open space beside the road, and crawled in. Seeing this, Liu Xiaona and Xiao Roubao also quickly crawled in, leaving Gaha sitting at the edge of the tent, watching over the few people who were about to fall asleep.
What about me? The old man looked left and right, and finally decided to sit side by side with Gaha and close his eyes to rest.
Occasionally, passers-by would look towards the tent with some curiosity and gossip, but most people didn't care at all why there was suddenly a tent on the side of the road.
On the streets of Base Zero, there were many people covered in black. These were mutated water-type esper who didn't want to change back. Even though they had recently been able to buy soap that could eliminate the mutation through the southern suburbs, they still chose to accept the mutation.
Compared to being a harmless water-based mutant, a mutant who can suppress his superpowers is obviously more awe-inspiring.
As the sun rose higher, the small city built in the desert grew hotter. Pedestrians gazed at the sun, quickening their pace as they headed towards the semicircular buildings lining the streets. Soon, the streets were deserted, and even the vendors had packed up their stalls and headed home.
Gaha held his chin in his hand, watching as everyone entered the semicircular building and never came out again. He found it very strange. Those semicircular buildings didn't look very big, and there was no second floor, so how could they fit so many people?
The old man noticed Gaha's confusion, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Those semicircular houses are the passages leading to the underground city."
First there was the meteorite shower, then the high temperature, and then the polar night. This underground city protected the residents of Base Zero and made a great contribution.
“Gahhahaha…”
The old man looked at Gaha and was silent for a moment: "Forget it, I still don't quite understand what you are talking about."
During the time that Song Yuqing was sleeping, two zombies crawled out from the ground where she was standing when she came out of the space last night, shaking off the sand on their bodies and stretching their limbs.
"Hiss~hiss~I've had enough sleep~"
"Wake up the children too~hiss~"
“Hihaha!!!”
The zombies roared, and tens of thousands of them crawled out from the sand, competing with each other to see who could roar louder.
"Hiss! Hiss! Keep it down!" The first zombie to crawl out glared and stomped his feet at the zombies behind him.
Spread the word, don't make such a big noise! I'm still a fledgling, so don't let those zombie hunters at Base Zero hear me.
The two zombies that emerged first from the sand wiped their wrinkled faces. One was a gentle, middle-aged woman, the other a serious, middle-aged man. If it weren't for their golden eyes, revealing their zombie identities, they would have been practically indistinguishable from humans.
The middle-aged zombie with a serious expression looked up at the sun in the sky and closed his eyes in enjoyment.
…
Song Yuqing was awakened by the heat, her body sticky with sweat. She turned to see Liu Xiaona and Xiao Roubao had also woken up. Liu Xiaona's face was dripping with sweat, and Xiao Roubao's hair was growing in clumps from the sweat. Although they had survived the extreme heat, they still sweated as much as they should have, and the discomfort was still there. The heat in the desert was different; it was a stifling heat.
"Everyone is awake, let's set off quickly. It will get hotter soon." The old man lifted a corner of the tent and put his head in.
"Okay." Song Yuqing responded, stood up quickly, took out five lunch boxes from the space, and gave one to each person.
"After we finish eating, we'll head to the service station."
The old man took the lunch box, opened the lid, and smelled it: "Ah, I miss this smell so much."
Song Yuqing raised his eyebrows. Miss?
"There are so many delicious foods on your website. I haven't chosen this bento for a long time." The old man pursed his lips.
The old man quickly picked up the food in the lunch box and ate it with such relish.
After finishing his lunch, the old man took Song, Qing and the other three on his journey.
In order to avoid the heat, the old man asked Liu Xiaona to spray water all the way while walking.
"Just like you did before, water spraying from your head." The old man added.
Liu Xiaona readily agreed, and a small fountain gushed out from his head, bringing some coolness.
Song Yuqing paused and frowned slightly.
Does the old man know that Liu Xiaona can spray water from her head?
Not every water-based ability user can spray water from their head. Besides, the last time Liu Xiaona sprayed water from her head was when she had just upgraded and walked out of the coffee shop.
"Old man, do you know us very well? But we don't know you at all. We don't know who you are, where you come from, and what you want to do." Song Yuqing went straight to the point.
The old man's bright and alert eyes made Song Yuqing feel that he was judging others by his own standards.
"You'll know." The old man smiled and said meaningfully, "Anyway, just know that I will always support God's Supermarket."
When Song Yuqing heard the old man say this, he felt a little touched.
Oh my God, a person I have never met said that he would always support God’s Supermarket, and supporting God’s Supermarket is supporting her!
"Why?" Song Yuqing asked again.
"No reason." The old man shook his hands and quickened his pace forward.
Song Yuqing, Liu Xiaona, Gaha and Xiao Roubao hurriedly followed.
The old man led a few people into a semicircular building where there was an elevator.
"Elevator?" Liu Xiaona was surprised. This semicircular building turned out to be an elevator. He thought it was something extraordinary.
The old man smiled without saying anything and pressed the elevator button.
The elevator door slowly opened, revealing a mirror-like wall with buttons for the first to third floors.
