Coincidentally, the cargo ship was traveling in the same direction that Zuo Ling's family had left.
After walking for more than an hour, the white moths finally stopped following, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at each other, and then gasped... hiss... pain...
They wanted to laugh and cry at the same time; their faces were all unrecognizable, their heads and faces swollen so much that their original appearances were impossible to discern.
In the apocalypse, food and clothing are scarce, and most people are skin and bones. If their eyes and lips weren't so swollen, they would have looked somewhat plump like they would have been before the apocalypse.
With a thud, a fat eagle fell down in a sorry state, hissing and snarling as it plucked its feathers.
*Puff... Puff... Puff...*
Everyone had noticed Ning Qiang's imposing presence when he arrived, but now, he was like two Ning Qiangs meeting for the first time.
The second young master is too plump. The Ning family members don't want to laugh, but, but, but, they really can't help it. What should they do?
Ning Qiang was both embarrassed and uncomfortable. He put on an air of authority and surveyed the entire room.
*Puff... Puff... Puff...*
At this moment, Ning Qiang's eyes were squeezed into slits, his facial features were swollen and shiny, his red lips were thick, and his paws... no, his hands were so swollen that he looked just like a brown bear that had stolen some honey.
He's fine when he's not putting on airs, but once he starts, he just becomes ridiculous.
We all look pretty much the same, so don't laugh at me, big brother. But who made Ning Qiang stand in the middle of the deck and look so ridiculous? Who else would we laugh at but you!
Ouch...it hurts...hiss...ouch...it hurts...
Strange hissing sounds rose and fell.
Ning Da Ge couldn't stand it anymore and quickly dragged his embarrassing second young master back to his own camp.
Guo Qi ordered his men to prepare some salt water, soapy water, and ointment for mosquito bites to help everyone detoxify and reduce swelling.
Being bitten a few times by one or two white moths is not a big problem, but if there are so many white moths, the toxins will accumulate and become deadly.
Jin Yu didn't have a good solution either, so Guo Qi ordered people to set up large pots and boil several large pots of water for everyone to use as hot compresses.
We didn't have enough fresh water and firewood. It's a matter of life and death, so we can't skimp on these things.
While applying a face mask, He Xiao mentally calculated which item to cut to make up for unexpected expenses.
Ning Qiang turned his hands over, which were so swollen they were almost unbearable to look at, and sighed. Soaking in seawater would feel good for a while, but seawater couldn't disinfect them and there was a possibility of infection, which was why they were so swollen.
Ning Da Ge gave Ning Qiang a wink. Although he had lost all his imposing manner, Ning Da Ge had been by Ning Qiang's side for a long time and immediately understood his master's meaning.
Pushing everyone aside, she grabbed a basin of soapy water. Ning Xiaoqi, even more domineering, snatched two tubes of ointment.
Everyone was angry but dared not speak out. Guo Qi and Yang Chengang saw this, shook their heads, and said nothing.
The thrilling day is finally over. Everyone is exhausted and just wants to rest as soon as possible; they don't even want to eat.
Ning Qiang sent Ning Dage to find Guo Qi a place to stay.
Guo Qi readily agreed and directly allocated the container house that had been assigned to Zuo Ling's family to the Ning family.
He sighed privately, "You guys got off easy."
What could be done? Zuo Ling had given up, still hoping that Ning Qiang would lend a hand in times of trouble, given their pitiful connection to the family.
...
Zuo Ling was fast asleep, deliberately shutting down her senses, and had no idea what was happening outside.
Not wanting to run into Guo Qi and his group, he stayed in his spatial dimension for three days straight without going out.
On the fourth day, we changed to a boat to travel.
They hadn't gone far when...hmm? They darted into the space, carrying themselves with them.
Pei Nansheng frowned, expressing his displeasure at his sister's unannounced entry into the space.
“The cargo ship is still there,” Zuo Ling explained.
"ah?"
Pei Nansheng was surprised; his mental strength was far inferior to that of his younger siblings, and he hadn't seen the cargo ship.
Xiao Hao wondered, "That's strange, why haven't they left yet?"
"The boat might be broken. Never mind them, let's get going."
Upon exiting the space, to avoid trouble, the family of five transferred to a submarine.
An hour later, Zuo Ling frowned.
"Stop, stop."
Pei Nansheng also realized something was wrong; the cargo ship was not far from them.
Xiao Hao asked, "How could this be?"
Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling stared at each other for a long time before simultaneously uttering three words: "Lost in the maze."
