Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 151 About sleeping

Of course, Lu Xian did not feel pity or guilt, or regret killing the fish rider because of his identity.

The fish-riding man attacked him, and after he fought him off, he continued to pursue him and threatened his and Yao Wei's lives. How could he not kill him?

He suddenly felt the vicissitudes of time from the few words in the letter and the possible identity of the fish rider.

He thought that person should be Liang Xiaobin.

Who else would wrap an empty syringe and a piece of letter paper with wrappers of tape and hide them so carefully?

Time flies, and the world changes. Could the couple who wrote this letter on some unknown battlefield have imagined that after so many years, the things they sent would eventually fall into the belly of a giant monster fish?
Did they know that the world order would collapse due to war and other factors, and that their children would become the half-human, half-ghost form they are now, wandering the Liang River, surviving by hunting the people and animals that pass by...

Lu Xian became more and more curious about what happened, but curiosity was not the main reason for survival after all.

Due to insufficient clues, it was difficult to find out what had happened. He and Yao Wei could only continue their journey south.

The gas station on the East Outer Ring Road soon appeared in front of us. The gas station sign was still there, with the words "First Petrochemical" hanging on it.

These four words, like the syringe in the belly of a fish, have gone through many vicissitudes of life, are covered with dust, and are full of gaps. There are many broken edges and corners, which are very conspicuous on the ceiling which is also full of holes.

The gas pump at this gas station is still usable. Lu Xian and Yao Wei don't need to open the valve or use the oil pump to pump oil. They can just use the dog to power it up, fill up the gas pump and leave.

Yao Wei felt a little sorry about this. It seemed that this woman wanted to try out everything she had, fearing that the wealth she had accumulated would be of no use, as if it were a waste.

But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Lu Xian always felt that Yao Wei was more like a child who got a toy but couldn't play with it, and was dissatisfied with it.

——Of course, after this thought passed through his mind, Lu Xian clearly told himself that this was a misunderstanding.

How could Yao Wei be so childish, like a little girl?

After filling up the gas here, we soon arrived at the Chengnan gas station, which is not far away.

It was a local gas station in Jianshan City, called "Jianshan Petroleum".

The character "sword" on the ceiling was missing two blades, and the character "mountain" was also missing a stroke, leaving nothing to be desired. However, Lu Xian and Yao Wei still figured out the original name based on the shape of the characters.

The two men only stayed briefly, searched the station building, and then left.

Not long after leaving the city, it was getting dark. Lu Xian walked to a parking area ahead and stopped to rest.

After getting off the car, he looked up at the dome and saw that the sky was dotted with stars, like a falling galaxy. The feeling of being pressed down by the "pot lid" no longer appeared, and he felt much more comfortable.

Yao Wei also got out of the car and stood next to Lu Xian, looking up at the sky, silent.

Lu Xian spoke first, sighed, and said: "The last time we were in this parking area, there was another Chai Xin in the car. Thinking about that letter again, the separation of life and death is the normal state of the world..."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded, but she didn't feel any nostalgia for those empty concepts. She just wondered, "I wonder how Chai Xin is doing now?"

Lu Xian didn't say anything else. He grabbed two handfuls of fried corn beans from the car and gave one to Yao Wei. Then the two of them sat there, quietly looking at the starry sky and chewing on the fried beans.

There was no fire or pot that night. The two of them ate fried beans with water and then went to rest.

Yao Wei had already placed the laptop on the front console to charge it. After the two of them got in the car, they opened the laptop, reclined the seats, lay down, covered themselves with the sheets, watched the video, and slowly fell asleep. The sheets were Yao Wei's, and Lu Xian had already used them to wrap the fried corn beans.

Lu Xian was lying on the main driver's seat, covering only his upper body with a sheet, resting his hands on the back of his head, watching an action movie on the laptop screen.

As I watched, I fell asleep unknowingly.

Yao Wei waited until Lu Xian fell asleep before turning off the laptop, lying down quietly and falling asleep.

This step seemed to have become their bedtime routine. Every night, Lu Xian fell asleep first, and then Yao Wei turned off the computer and went to sleep.

So when he woke up the next day, Lu Xian suddenly realized it and felt a little embarrassed.

"I have to be more careful at night next time. I can't just ignore everything and fall asleep alone, asking you to turn off the computer."

Yao Wei shook her head and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. You fall asleep quickly like this. I also want to watch a movie for a while, then turn off the computer and fall asleep quickly. This is perfect."

Lu Xian: "..."

That night, after the two of them lay down in the car, Lu Xian forced himself to watch for a while longer. When Yao Wei yawned and felt tired, he turned off the computer and went to sleep.

But Yao Wei always seemed to be very energetic. She sat there staring at the computer screen and didn't seem to feel sleepy for a long time.

Lu Xian glanced at Yao Wei's profile. The fluorescent light emitted from the screen made her face sparkle. The intersection of darkness and light made the lines on her face so rich and colorful, full of beauty.

Ok……

It looks good, but how can it be so durable?
Won’t she be sleepy?
After watching the movie for a while, Lu Xian felt his eyelids were a little droopy, but Yao Wei was still full of energy.

Yao Wei also noticed Lu Xian's condition and turned to him and said, "Go to sleep quickly. You can't stay up looking at the computer."

Alas……

This woman seemed to be looking down on herself.

So Lu Xian forced his eyes to widen, looked at the screen, and then stared... stared... stared...

I don't know when I fell asleep...

When he woke up the next day, Lu Xian touched his forehead and was speechless.

Ever since I traveled to this world and became a new human being, I have always been full of energy and can endure a lot. Let alone one night, even two or three nights would not be a big deal.

Why do I feel sleepy unconsciously when I turn on the computer to watch videos?
It felt like the flickering fluorescence when the laptop was turned on and playing a video was the sweat of the Type C New Human, playing with his mind through pheromones...

Lu Xian finally gave up resisting. One night, while watching a video, he honestly followed his feelings. When sleepiness came, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, sinking into a hazy dream.

But for some reason, he seemed to be back on the Liang River in his dream that night, and he seemed to have become a mutant monster with his skin and flesh hanging upside down and a big fish riding on him.

He rode the fish and wandered aimlessly on the Liang River, not knowing whether he was missing his parents or his hometown that had long disappeared in the long river of time.
