Chapter 208: Learning to Fight

Translator:Editor:

The next morning, Luo Yuan and the rest walked out of the cave.

The giant lizard had already gotten out of the pit by digging itself out, and was now sleeping near the aircraft.

The thunderstorm was gone, and so was the aurora. The sky was as clear as polished jade, and everything was quiet. There were damaged trees and burned spots on the ground. Obviously, the thunderstorm had not been an illusion.

Everyone was exhausted from all the tension over the past two nights. Their eyes were bloodshot, yet they seemed exhilarated. Their fatigue was almost completely gone. In fact, the lightning had started scattering away around midnight, and had completely disappeared by 3 a.m. No one could fall asleep until they saw it with their own eyes. They all felt relieved. They had not eaten or drunk anything in a whole day. Everyone except Luo Yuan realized how tired and hungry they were after such a busy day.

They had not been hunting the past two days. Their only food source had been the giant snake’s internal organs, and nothing was left of those anymore. There were quite a lot of dead mutated beasts nearby. Some of them had died by crashing around aimlessly, and some had been scared to death. All of them had died miserably, but surprisingly, very few had been struck by lightning.

Luo Yuan took a stroll and brought back two low-level mutated beasts. A few women hastily prepared the food despite their exhaustion, and they all gorged themselves, not minding how hot it was. They even finished the soup. After the meal, Luo Yuan urged everyone to go to sleep while he cleaned up the place.

No one had as strong a physique as Luo Yuan. Ever since he had activated the energy inside his heart, he was always energetic. He could go four days without sleep and still not look tired at all.

Luo Yuan brought the stone bowls to the creek and washed them, before strolling back to the cave. In the aftermath of the thunderstorm, the forest was quiet. The usual chirps of birds and insects were no longer to be heard. Luo Yuan sighed and jumped on top of the worn-out aircraft. He stabbed his sword into the metal, took a seat and stared at the sky. Worry was flooding his heart.

He did not know whether the peace had been caused by the movement of the Earth, or if the universe storm had indeed ended. The Earth was too small in comparison to the universe, and any living thing on the planet was like a tiny ant. He had noticed that the thunderstorm had caused strange changes in the weather. It was morning, and yet the temperature was already 30 degrees. That kind of temperature was typical for noon, but the sun had not even risen yet. By noon, when the sun would be high up in the sky, the temperature would rise to more than 50 degrees.

The stir caused by the universe storm had produced a massive energy, and as a result the temperature had skyrocketed. The thunderstorm the previous night had happened in a really short time, which had had an even bigger impact on temperature.

Luo Yuan dared not imagine what this change in temperature could bring. Would the icebergs melt? Would the sea-level rise? Would large amounts of land disappear? Of course, this issue would not affect any mutated animals, plants, or even humans. Although humans after the apocalypse were not comparable to mutated beasts, their physique was stronger than it used to be, so the higher temperature would still be tolerable for them.
