Chapter 154 - 154: Abundant Energy
It was still the hospital.
When she woke up for the third time, Tang Susu looked up at the ceiling with a calm expression.
However, when she realized that a slender and heavy body was lying on top of her and that the other person’s strong arms were still firmly wrapped around her waist, almost covering her whole body, a shadow quickly flashed across Tang Susu’s eyes.
She vaguely remembered that before she fell into the huge pit, this person seemed to have pounced over and held her. He was so tight that she seemed to sense it even when she fainted…
‘Are you alright?’ 008 asked immediately as soon as he could speak.
‘Still alive, obviously.’
Tang Susu pushed the man on top of her to the side. The bone-piercing cold made her understand why the system could appear again.
‘Why did he faint again? Why is the surroundings so quiet?’
She tried to get up again, only to find that her legs had not become worse. Instead, they had recovered.
It was completely and thoroughly lighter and more powerful than before!
Tang Susu moved her body in disbelief. Her body seemed to be filled with energy, which would make her extremely agile.
‘The system was kind enough to improve me? I’m feeling really well now!’
008 was also surprised. ‘The Mother System would allow such a thing. Everything should follow the rules of gradual progress,’
Tang Susu was just mentioning it casually. At this moment, she looked at the man on the ground. She thought of something and licked her lips.
There was a faint smell of rust that was so faint that it was almost undetectable.
“This man… He seems to have done something to me.”
Tang Susu squatted down and quickly checked his body. She soon found a small scratch on his right index finger.
‘A new injury…’ She furrowed her brows and said without hesitation, ‘He fed me his blood.’
She recovered, but he became like this? When did the final boss become so weak? His blood had such a miraculous effect?
A series of questions swirled within Tang Susu’s mind, but she didn’t have the desire to pursue them. ‘How many days are left until the deadline of the mission?’
‘Three days.’
Tang Susu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the deadline didn’t change according to the time she was transported around.
‘Then, do you know what that huge pit is?’
She was forced to be transported in time before she could do anything every time. It was forcing her into a disadvantaged position.
‘There’s a high probability that the pit is a microscopic black hole or something similar to it. Due to the influence of radiation, such a miniature black hole would also disappear, so it has only a small effect on Earth. However, it could also be temporary.’
Aren’t black holes celestial bodies? Are they supposed to be in space?’ Seeing that there was no one around, Tang Susu avoided the camera and took out a piece of bread from her inventory. She bit into it and quickly straightened her loose and messy hair.
‘The cause of the apocalypse was because of Earth’s abnormal crustal movement. The virus escaped from the ground, and perhaps other strange things had been released as well.’
Listening to 008’s vague and uncertain tone, Tang Susu could only imagine a row of black lines appeared on her head. As if she would really believe it!
After eating two pieces of bread in a few bites, Tang Susu tied her shoelaces and took out a machete to search the surroundings.
‘Are you going to abandon him?!’ 008 was shocked.
Tang Susu turned around and looked at the man on the ground with a complicated expression. ‘Don’t you think he’s very strange? Final bosses don’t die so easily.’
‘But he’s completely defenseless in this state. Anything can kill him.’
‘I suspect that he’s not even human. He won’t die.’
Seeing that it was about to say something else, Tang Susu laughed in anger. ‘Is he your host or I am? How can you help an outsider like this? Shouldn’t you be happier if he’s dead?’
‘But I want to sell some condoms.’ 008 muttered.
“What?” Tang Susu stopped in her tracks and looked at the empty hospital lobby. Suddenly, more than a dozen ‘figures’ staggered out of the door.
She then looked up at the electronic screen hanging above his head, and the red words on it were rolling: June 4th, 2051.10:30p.m.
The apocalypse had begun.
Again!
