The transition happened so fast that Lu Manman didn't have time to react.
"I didn't expect someone so small like you to be able to run so fast. You must have great stamina!"
A deep, magnetic voice came from behind.
Lu Manman suddenly turned around and saw a handsome man with silver curly hair looking at him with admiration.
He looked seriously injured; his fair skin appeared even paler and sickly against the bright red blood at the corner of his mouth.
"And you are?"
"Your savior."
"He truly deserves the title of savior," Lu Manman was about to express her gratitude when she heard him say something else.
How much physical and mental strength do you have?
Lu Manman shook her head, "I haven't tested it, I don't know."
Most families would have these tests done for their children, unless they were on an extremely backward planet. Ye Xingfan felt more certainty and sympathy for this small, wandering insect astrology student who was just like himself.
"It's hard to say about mental strength, but physical strength is definitely not bad. I followed you all the way in my flying vehicle and barely managed to catch up with you."
"W-what?" Lu Manman's eyes widened. "You said you chased me all the way here?"
"Yes, I just happened to see you all alone in the insect astrology, and I wanted to rescue you, but you ran too fast."
Lu Manman shed complex tears.
It turns out her superpower wasn't the problem; all those insects weren't chasing her, but rather the sixth guy in the spaceship who had been relentlessly following her.
Because of a 'beautiful' misunderstanding, I almost worked myself to death.
Lu Manman was a little confused. "Why didn't you call me?"
“I called out, but you didn’t hear me.”
The road ahead is long: ...
Indeed, I couldn't hear anything. My legs were practically shooting sparks, and all I could hear was the whistling wind and... the excited chirping of insects. It was truly a cruel twist of fate.
That's alright, though. I definitely wouldn't be able to get out on my own, but the people in front of me have the equipment, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Lu Manman looked on expectantly, "My benefactor, now that I'm up here, let's hurry up and go."
The silver-haired handsome man shook his head, and as he did so, a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"The spacecraft is broken, and I'm injured too. We can't get out of the atmosphere at all?"
This unexpected answer left Lu Manman speechless for a moment before she asked, "So what do we do now?"
Ye Xingfan sighed, "We're both in the same boat. It's nice to have someone accompany you on your journey in the last part of your life."
Lu Manman strongly disagreed with this, saying, "Brother, you have to cheer up! The future is uncertain, anything is possible, you can't just give up like this."
I'm still young, only a little over 6,000 years old, I don't want to die like this.
During the conversation, Ye Xingfan coughed up another mouthful of blood. "Look outside."
Lu Manman turned his head and looked out the window. The setting sun illuminated the clouds on the horizon with unparalleled brilliance. If one ignored the persistent insects in the Tianshan Mountains, it could truly be described as "the sunset is infinitely beautiful."
Just thinking about my own life that may be fading away, and reflecting on the scenery and people around me, I couldn't help but feel sad about the long road ahead.
Ye Xingfan: "As you probably thought, it's getting dark soon, and the number and fighting power of the insects will increase even further, making our chances of survival even less likely."
The road ahead is long: ...
Okay, she misunderstood.
"What if your injury heals? Will we still have a chance?"
"I……"
Ye Xingfan had barely uttered a single word when she collapsed and fainted.
Lu Manman was dumbfounded. This plot was so familiar; it seemed like she'd seen it all the time on TV. They were about to find out the answer, couldn't they have just finished before fainting? (┯_┯)
Suddenly, the aircraft lurched violently, like it was doing calisthenics, bobbing up and down, left and right in the air, and almost getting caught by winged insects behind it several times.
Sigh! Never mind, she'll risk it all to get out of this hellhole alive.
Lu Manman laboriously moved to Ye Xingfan's side, hugged him tightly in his arms, and after making sure he wouldn't be thrown off, he calmed himself down, placed one hand above Ye Xingfan's forehead, and activated his wood-type ability.
The superpower entered Ye Xingfan's body and traveled through it, discovering that his internal organs were indeed severely damaged.
Lu Manman focused his supernatural power on the injured area, and in a short while, the wound was completely healed.
Lu Manman withdrew her superpower, only to find that he was still unconscious. Helpless, she could only use her superpower to repeatedly comb through the meridians in his body.
"My benefactor, please wake up! I'm about to throw up from all the jolting."
As Lu Manman spoke, she treated his body. Suddenly, the man in her arms twitched his eyelids and then opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of confusion.
The aircraft, which had been rocking violently, finally calmed down.
Before Lu Manman could react, Ye Xingfan's hand reached up to the soft mound on her chest.
Lu Manman quickly released his legs and kicked him away, yelling, "You pervert!"
Even in the apocalypse, no one had ever molested her like this, because she had been with a powerful team from the beginning, yet this guy was so audacious.
"Sorry, I was just curious." Ye Xingfan only felt that the thing under her was too soft, so she subconsciously touched it. At this moment, she realized that it was inappropriate, and stood up with her hand on her chest where she had been kicked, and quickly apologized.
"Curious my ass! Curiosity means you can touch things randomly? I even saved you, you filthy scoundrel..." Lu Manman was furious. She had never seen such a shameless person.
After Ye Xingfan realized that the other party was a girl, he knew that he had committed a terrible crime. He silently endured Lu Manman's crazy outburst. When she finally stopped, he coughed awkwardly and said, "I didn't expect you to be a woman. I'm sorry. I sincerely apologize for my rude behavior. As long as you can forgive me, I can accept any request you make. By the way, my name is Ye Xingfan. I am the young master of the Ye family. What is your name?"
"You..." Oh no, I forgot about that. I should have covered my chest instead of taking the easy way out, but it's too late now. Lu Manman could only change the subject, "Take me away from this awful place quickly."
Seeing Lu Manman fall silent in an instant, Ye Xingfan found it a little funny, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. This girl was quite interesting.
Laugh, you still laugh? Laugh at your big head! Lu Manman was angry, so she simply turned her back to him, out of sight, out of mind.
It seems I've upset her again. Ye Xingfan looked at her back with a helpless expression. "Come closer. I'm about to burst into a deep breath. Being too far away will be too much of a hardship for me."
"No need, just go ahead and do it." Lu Manman said without turning her head. She needed to think carefully about what she needed to do after leaving this place. It was just a little suffering, but she could handle it.
"Oh well!"
In an instant, the aircraft suddenly transformed, like a Transformer, into a mecha, radiating a faint, cold light under the afterglow.
Lu Manman felt dizzy and the room suddenly became extremely small. After rolling around 360 degrees countless times, she was caught steadily by a pair of large hands and held in their arms. "Don't move, something even more exciting is coming."
