Chapter 50 (1/2)

As the saying went in the text ‘Wandering Beyond[1]’. ‘The mushroom that lives only for a morning has no idea of the phases of the moon. The cicada who lives only for a few days does not know the seasons of spring and fall.’ With Wei Huo’s current metabolism, he could use one month as a day. He could cultivate in the beginning of the month, hunt in the middle of the month, and Research in the end of the month.

At the same time, he could do push-ups, sit-ups, and jogging the whole day.

Wei Huo was not aware that his thoughts and body were changing gradually. Many thought that living too long was a kind of distress, but in the natural world people with short lives and long lives had their respective way of living.

66 years had slipped by unnoticed. During those 66 years, Wei Huo’s attack bar had reached 594. Surprisingly, his Research Skills had reached Level 15. He was even trying to manufacture mechanical armors now.

Besides that, he built a refugee camp on the northwest of the city. The place was oozing with a modern charm. There were solar generators, wind generators, wood powered generators, electric cables, wires, refrigerators, televisions, and even computers. All of them were manufactured by Wei Huo.

Wei Huo could now put on a pair of glasses and take up the role of a knowledgeable electromagnetic scholar.

If it was not for the lack of materials, he would have planned to research electromagnetic weapons.

However, he stopped because the 300 years time halt was about to come to an end, according to Lu Qiqi. That was why he stopped everything he was working on.

He came to his neighborhood and arrived at the building his parents were living in. He waited patiently because tomorrow would be the first day after the 300-year time halt. Time would be recovered for humanity and Wei Huo could finally return to society!

However, he had yet to figure out how to face humans who were halted for 300 years, how to face his parents, and how to integrate himself back into society.

He waited patiently with a tinge of concern. ‘What should I do if Lu Qiqi lied to me?’

The concern grew heavier in his mind, and finally the first day after the 300-year time halt had arrived!

However, nothing happened after the clock struck 12. Wei Huo frowned slightly, and decided to wait till breakfast. In the end, dawn arrived and the sun rose. Sunlight flooded the Earth, but nothing was different from the day before. Humanity was still halted.

Wei Huo had a bad hunch. However, Lu Qiqi did not mention whether it was the first day or the 365th day after 300 years. So, Wei Huo decided to wait for another year.

However, Wei Huo’s concern grew deeper as he had a bad feeling about it.

‘Maybe… Lu Qiqi lied to me. After all, Lu Qiqi was just an artificial being. How could she know God’s plan?’

Wei Huo could only continue to wait, but his restlessness grew stronger over time.

Wei Huo grew to realize that Lu Qiqi’s 300-year time halt was just a lie. Her purpose was to prevent him from breaking down, or maybe that note was not left by Lu Qiqi at all.

As for who had left the note, it was not hard to guess.

Wei Huo stared at the sky and mumbled, “Do you think I have a fragile mentality? As long as I have the hope to live, I will not give up my life even if I’m the only creature left in this world!”

Wei Huo had persisted for over hundreds of years without falling apart. How could he crumble because of the Giant Panda and Lu Qiqi’s death? Impossible!

Wei Huo had always been a person with a weak presence. He did not have many friends since young. He was used to being lonely. It could even be said that ‘Loneliness Was Wei Huo’s Only Friend’.
