Chapter 190 (1/2)

“Mr. Lennon, we made it! We are still alive. We made it… G.o.d bless… G.o.d bless us, we made it…” Edgar was jumping up and down cheering despite the exhaustion.

“I need to take a short break, Edgar, you guard the area and be careful, we are not safe yet!” Chu Yunsheng said calmly. His word was like a bucket of cold water pouring on top of Edgar’s head, it instantly reminded Edgar that their situation was still very dangerous.

Chu Yunsheng had experienced life and death situations many times. Every time when he escaped from danger, the sense of happiness and excitement would reduce, and he would become more and more vigilant and careful each time.

This planet has completely messed up now. Strange monsters could come out anywhere at any time to take their lives away.

For instance, when he was riding the green-sh.e.l.led insect in the sky earlier, he encountered a 20 meters long centipede-like monster.

Whether it was Chu Yunsheng or Edgar, they both had never seen such a monster before, none of them knew anything about this monster, so they quickly descended and landed on the ground, and then hid into a small village house that seemingly has been abandoned for a long time.

It was already the night time in the age of light and it was still pitch black around them. They did not know how far they had flown, or where exactly on the map they had landed; they only knew that there were no insects around them, and they were temporarily safe.

No mice’s squeaky noises and no insects’ wild screech, apart from two of them, it seemed like nothing was alive in the area around them.

The dead silence made them very nervous, and the ringing in their ears was getting louder and clearer, and It irritated them.

Chu Yunsheng was indeed exhausted; he felt like his body was a broken skeleton, and he couldn’t gather all the pieces together. He just randomly ate something from his storage talisman and slowly fell asleep while leaning against the wall.

The place they were at was a typical small southern rural village house, it had two stories and a small courtyard at the front.

The gate to the house was originally locked. Presumably, the owner thought that they would come back soon when he left the house.

However, there was an obvious sign that someone had tried to break in before. A metal bar left on the ground was most likely the tool that someone used to break in. Presumably, it was the other refugees trying to find some food.

The furniture and other things in the house were scattered, all the drawers were opened, especially stuff in the kitchen, the broken porcelain bowls were everywhere, and they were covered with a thick layer of dust, so it most likely happened a long time ago.

In the bedrooms upstairs, all the wardrobes and beds were empty, quilts and clothing had also been taken away, leaving it with only a few electrical appliances.

Edgar was holding a torch made by himself while checking the house they stayed at. The place had a strong oriental rural characteristic. However, even when he checked the big cylinder tank in the courtyard, he still couldn’t find anything.

The only useful thing he found was a well, it temporarily solved their water problem, because they had been drinking “dirty” water in the last two months.

In the battle with the swarm at the area of the slimy substance, Edgar was hiding in the back of a golden-sh.e.l.led insect, helping Chu Yunsheng to kill the green-sh.e.l.led insects that broke into their formation, so apart from suffering a mental shock, he didn’t use much physical energy at all.

The reason why Edgar could survive was all because of Chu Yunsheng, so he believed that G.o.d must have heard his prayer and sent Chu Yunsheng to save him.

Of course, he knew Chu Yunsheng was not a believer, however, it didn’t stop him from picturing Chu Yunsheng as the G.o.d’s messenger.

He knew what Chu Yunsheng needed the most at the moment, so he went to the kitchen to look for anything he could use and then washed those clean and started to prepare the insect’s meat that Chu Yunsheng had given to him. He used a knife that had also been given to him by Chu Yunsheng to chop the meat into pieces then throw them into a pot.

The insect’s meat soup did not smell very nice, however, whether it was Chu Yunsheng or Edgar, they were both already familiar with the distinct astringent smell of the soup. Subconsciously, they all started to treat this kind of smell as the smell of food.

Chu Yunsheng had only had a few biscuits in a hurry before he fell asleep. Rong Yuan body’s powerful and greedy digestive function has already converted the biscuits he had into food energy. The sense of hunger made his stomach growl loudly, and when the familiar smell of the insect’s meat wafted into his nose, it instantly stimulated the nerve cells beneath the cerebral cortex. His eyelids twitched for a few seconds, then he woke up.

Staying vigilant even during the rest had already become Chu Yunsheng’s habit, only when Yu Xiaohai or the little tiger was by his side, did he occasionally fall into a deep sleep. After Xiaohai was taken away by a green-sh.e.l.led insect, Yao Xiang also became a person who he could trust.

But this black man was not on his “trust list”, as a matter of fact, he only knew this black man for barely two months, and during those two months’ time, he was out hunting for the insects most of the time. So, they didn’t communicate much.

There were many differences between them, and Edgar was also a foreigner. The only similarity he was able to find was that they were both Jin Ling City’s only survivors. Of course, he did not count the woman in the white dress.
