"Mr. Lennon, we made it out! We made it out! God, who could believe it? We actually managed to make it out alive! We are still alive! We are still alive! "Edgar was so excited that he felt like he had just won a lottery.
"I need to rest for a while, Edgar, you go and keep watch. Be careful, this place is not necessarily safe!" Chu Yunsheng said calmly.
He had been through a lot of life and death situations, so the joy of escaping was getting weaker and weaker. Instead, he became more and more vigilant. No matter when, where, or what kind of situation it was, he would always be vigilant.
The planet was in a complete mess. Any monster could pop out of nowhere at any time, and it could take their lives.
For example, just now, when they flew into the sky for the first time on the green-shelled insect's back, they saw many centipede-like monsters that were more than ten meters long flying in the sky.
Whether it was Chu Yunsheng or Edgar, they had never seen this kind of monster before, so they didn't know anything about it. They hurriedly landed on the ground and hid in a dilapidated village that had been deserted for a long time.
It was already night time in the age of light, the surroundings were completely dark. They didn't know how far they had flown, and what kind of place they were in. They only knew that there were no insects around them, so they were temporarily out of danger.
There were no squeaking mice, no chirping insects. Except for the two of them, there was almost no sign of any living creatures around them. It was so quiet that it made them panic. The only thing they could hear was the ringing in their ears, which was getting louder and louder.
Chu Yunsheng was indeed exhausted, he felt like his body was about to fall apart. He ate some of the dry food that he had never eaten before, and then slowly fell asleep against the wall.
The place they were in was a typical small building in a southern village. It was divided into two floors, and there was a small yard in front of it.
The gate of the yard was originally locked. It was estimated that when the owner left the house, he still hoped that he would be able to return home one day.
But the iron bar that was used to pry it open was still left at the scene. It should be the work of some other people who were passing by and came in to look for food.
The furniture and objects in the house were scattered and messy. The drawers were all open, especially in the kitchen. Broken porcelain bowls were everywhere, covered in a thick layer of dust. A gentle breeze could raise a 'dust storm'.
In the bedroom upstairs, the wardrobe and bed were empty. The quilt and clothes had long been taken away. Only a few electrical appliances were left, standing alone.
Holding the torch, Edgar checked the house from top to bottom. He didn't even let go of a big vat in the yard, but he didn't find any rice or wheat.
The only gain was that they found a well, which temporarily ended the situation that they had been relying on "dirty water" to survive for more than two months.
During the battle, Edgar had been hiding in the gaps between the golden-shelled insects and helping Chu Yunsheng to shoot the green-shelled insects. Apart from the mental shock, he did not consume much of his energy.
With a "smart" brain that didn't match with a black man, Edgar also knew what he should do at this time, even without Chu Yunsheng's order.
His life was all because of Chu Yunsheng. If God had heard his prayers, then Chu Yunsheng was the "messenger" that God had sent for him.
Of course, he already knew that Chu Yunsheng didn't have any faith. However, it didn't stop him from thinking of a perfect explanation for Chu Yunsheng's miraculous appearance in his life.
After finding the water source, Edgar found a dusty iron pot in the kitchen. He washed it clean and filled it with water from the well. Then he started a fire in the kitchen and cut the insect meat that Chu Yunsheng gave him into pieces with the dagger that he used to stab Yang Dong to death.
The smell of the insect meat soup was not very fragrant, but it was very familiar to both Edgar and Chu Yunsheng. Therefore, subconsciously, they thought that the strange smell coming out of the pot was the smell of food that they were familiar with.
Chu Yunsheng only ate a few biscuits before he went to bed. Rong Yuan Body's powerful and greedy digestive system had already converted all the energy in that biscuit. The feeling of hunger caused by the rubbing of his stomach and the familiar smell of the insect meat in the air stimulated the nerve cells in his brain. His eyeballs twitched a few times, and he immediately woke up.
In addition, in the wild, he had developed his own survival habits. Even when he was sleeping, he would always be vigilant. Only when Yu Xiaohai or the little tiger was next to him, he would occasionally go to sleep peacefully. Yao Xiang was also someone he could trust.
But the black man in front of him was not on his "trust list". Speaking of which, he and Edgar just met by chance, and they were just strangers who had been living together for more than two months.
There were many differences between them, and Edgar was even a foreigner. But there was only one thing in common between them. Except for the woman in the white dress, they were the only survivors of Jin Ling city.
"Mr. Lennon, are you awake? Please wait for a while, the meat soup will be ready soon! " Edgar's tone was still very respectful. But he did not know that it was his tone that made Chu Yunsheng feel a strange sense of distance between him and Chu Yunsheng.
If it was Yu Xiaohai, he would say, "Brother Chu, you are really my idol, there is really a well in this damn place! It seems like we won't die of thirst! "
"Edgar, have you checked this house?" Chu Yunsheng shook his head to make himself more awake, and to suppress the hunger in his stomach.
When he first started to practice the ancient book, all kinds of incredible abilities that couldn't exist in the age of light gradually appeared like a myth.
Using the same logic, he thought that as his ability got stronger, he would be able to magically "fast" like what was depicted in movies and TV in the age of light, or his desire for food would get weaker and weaker, and then he would be able to live a transcendent life.
But the reality was, whether it was the Chu Yuan body stage one or the Rong Yuan body stage two, his appetite did not decrease at all. If he didn't eat for a day, he would still be very hungry.
Of course, Chu Yunsheng did not want to become that kind of "anorexic". Even if the legend said that "they" could live for a long time without eating anything, in Chu Yunsheng's eyes, they were already monsters, not human beings.
He was only thinking this way because he was forced by reality. He hoped that he could reduce his need for food. After all, in this era where civilization was completely destroyed, food had become the biggest obstacle that limited the survival of the human body, even more than the direct slaughter of insects.
"Yes, except for a well, there is no food, batteries, fuel, weapons, etc. It can be said that it is an empty house!" Edgar immediately replied. He was glad that his "flexibility" did not wait for Chu Yunsheng's order.
"I'm not asking about that, I'm asking … Never mind, I'll go find it myself later." Chu Yunsheng smiled. Edgar's survival experience was much lower than his. Both of them had food and weapons, so the things that Edgar mentioned were not what they needed the most.
The most urgent thing was to find out where they were, how far away they were from Jin Ling city, whether the insects would not chase them, and whether there were any large cities nearby.
"Mr. Lennon, I don't quite understand, what do you mean?" Edgar asked confusedly. Other than food, fuel, and weapons, what else was worth searching for?
Chu Yunsheng "took out" a bag of refined salt from his cloak and changed the topic, "add some salt, I haven't tasted salt for a long time!"
"Salt!?" Edgar's hands were shaking.
Salt, even in Jin Ling city, was an extreme luxury. In order to get a little bit of salt, some people were willing to give up their dignity, chastity, and even their lives.
"I'm going to find something to confirm our current location." Chu Yunsheng said calmly.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Chu Yunsheng easily found the phone on the floor. He then took out an old and dusty notebook from the drawer of the bedside table.
Chu Yunsheng could not remember that many area codes, so he quickly took out the national map from the storage talisman. Soon, he found the corresponding place – Wu city, Wan province!
But he could not determine the specific location with just this information.
Chu Yunsheng continued to look through the things that the family left behind, trying to find some clues. In the end, he got some vague information from a leaflet on an agricultural news website. This place might be Ting Bai Town in Wu city.
From the map, he could quickly determine this location. It was about 20 kilometers away from Wu city.
Sitting on the collapsed mattress, Chu Yunsheng's middle finger tapped on the map, and he was thinking carefully.
Wu city was not far from Jin Ling city. After the disaster happened, most of the people in Wu city had rushed to Jin Ling city. Duan Danian was one of them. So Wu city was probably an empty city now.
However, he could still try his luck. Because it was close to Jin Ling city, it was also possible that some of the local people had already escaped to Jin Ling city. Maybe there was still some food left there.
Also, Chu Yunsheng wanted to try his luck to see if he could find some gasoline. He did not need to worry about cars. Judging from the situation when Shen Cheng city was evacuated, the streets were full of abandoned cars. The most important thing was gasoline.
Although green-shelled insects could fly, ever since he saw those centipede-shaped flying monsters, Chu Yunsheng gave up on the idea. Safety first. So finding a car was the best and most reliable choice.
His first destination was the location on the third map. It was in the northwest, and it was very far away. If he only walked, he did not know how long it would take.
