Chapter 128 - Gu (2/2)
If he left, Wei Huo would only choose to save Mo Guyun. However… that did not make sense. Not unless he wanted to die!
Wei Huo opened the Menu. He would keep an eye on the Menu at all times. He could check on people who were related to him by blood that way. At the moment, it seemed like Wei Huo’s parents and other relatives were doing well.
Wei Huo speculated that the humans living in the city might be in a better state, as the buildings were protected. After figuring out the situation, the humans in the city should unite quickly to find useful resources to survive the difficult early stage.
His parents were researchers. If someone built a camp, they would be valued. They just did not know where he was.
Wei Huo returned to the temporary camp and realized that everyone else was awake. He asked, “How is Liu Ying?”
Mo Guyun replied, “Her body should be fine. It’s just that… she seems like she doesn’t want to speak. Perhaps she is too shocked. Did you… find Liu Lei?”
Wei Huo looked at Xiao Bin and said, “Xiao Bin, tell Mo Guyun about Liu Lei’s situation. After you understand the situation, go and comfort Liu Ying. I want to go back to the room the two siblings used to stay in.”
After giving instructions, Wei Huo walked to the room where Liu Lei and his sister had been found and saved. Although he had entered the room twice, he had not paid much attention to the situation in it. However, this time, he started investigating the situation in the room.
The room was a living room. It was not big, but there was a sofa and a table. There should have been a television there as well. However, Wei Huo had thought that he might need to use parts of the television, so he had put it on the display platform.
There were two doors connected to the living room. Wei Huo guessed that they should lead to two bedrooms. One shouldn’t look down on villages. Many small villas in rural areas were prettier and larger than the houses in the city.
Wei Huo checked the two bedrooms and realized that one of them was not locked but the other one was.
Wei Huo raised his brows. He felt that the whole thing was not simple. Perhaps Liu Lei had been trying to hide something.
He kicked the locked door open and saw blood stains on the floor. Wei Huo walked over and saw half a weird bug in the middle of the blood. The bug looked like a centipede. It was slender, and it was about 20 to 30 centimeters long. It seemed like it had been cut by a sharp weapon!
Wei Huo patiently searched again. Soon, he found a safe under the bed. Wei Huo dragged the safe out and took out his hunting knife. He then cut the safe in half.
Wei Huo saw five gold bars and a bunch of brand-new RMBs in the safe. There was a notification about the RMBs.
“The human currency of China can be used to light a fire.”
In the end, paper money was just paper. It was only worth ‘100’, but when that number was worthless, paper money was just paper.
Paper was also very useful. Given the RMBs’ characteristics, the notes could at least be used as a hat, an umbrella, or a kite. However, it would be the most convenient to use them to light a fire.
Wei Huo picked up the remaining half of the bug. He had recognized it. It was a poisonous insect called a Body-Breaking Worm. The remaining half of the bug, in combination with Liu Lei’s performance and his bulky body, cleared up the whole situation.
Wei Huo left the room and returned to the camp. The first thing he asked everyone was, “Where are you guys from?”
The four of them were stunned. Xiao Bin said, “The three of us are from Southern Border’s Yun County.”
Mo Guyun was a little surprised. “What a coincidence. I’m from Southern Border’s Jianghai City.”
Wei Huo asked, “I heard that the Southern Wilderness has… Gu1. Is that how you read it?”
