Global Freeze Get a Modifier at the Beginning
Chapter 436: The night before
Qu Baoguo looked at the meat on the Pig-head man that Fifth Master Xie had praised to the heavens, and for some reason, he always felt a bit hesitant to eat it.
With Fifth Master Xie’s persuasion and promotion, Qu Baoguo thought it over carefully and decided to try it.
Qu Baoguo slowly extended his hand, picked up a cooked slice of meat from the iron plate, and put it into his mouth.
As soon as he chewed, the unique texture and flavor instantly exploded on his taste buds.
The meat was unexpectedly tender and juicy, with an indescribable aroma, unlike any other meat he had ever eaten.
Qu Baoguo’s eyes gradually widened, and a look of surprise appeared on his face; he had not expected the Pig-head man’s meat to be so delicious.
Fifth Master Xie laughed triumphantly from the side.
“How is it? I told you this meat was delicious.”
Qu Baoguo did not know if he was too hungry, or if the meat was truly too delicious; he wolfed it down while mumbling his response.
“It’s… it’s really good.”
Soon, all the Pig-head man meat cooked by Fifth Master Xie went into Qu Baoguo’s stomach.
However, when Qu Baoguo wanted to continue eating, Fifth Master Xie stopped him, telling Qu Baoguo to rest first and discuss other matters after he woke up.
Although Qu Baoguo was still craving more, he had no choice but to follow Fifth Master Xie’s arrangement and returned to his room to lie down.
As soon as he closed his eyes, fatigue engulfed him like a tide, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
Liang Yu, on the other hand, was also slacking off, spending his days either being intimate with Lan Ling or modifying and screening the strange items in his backpack.
Unconsciously, two days had passed, and Liang Yu, seeing no change outside, began to doubt if he had made a wrong judgment.
Therefore, he was a bit puzzled and also started planning to move to the Underground World in a couple of days, regardless of the situation on the surface.
At least, before order was restored, he did not plan to settle on the surface; otherwise, as soon as he revealed anything good, countless flies would swarm, which would be very annoying.
Time flew by, and it was already around three o’clock in the afternoon.
The outside light, which had originally shone through the car windows and illuminated the interior, gradually faded away.
Liang Yu, just like the previous two days, was immersed in his own little world, tinkering with those strange items.
His workbench was covered with various oddly functional objects, bottles, and jars, as well as some exquisite sandboxes and lifelike figurines.
He occasionally lowered his head, concentrating on the object in his hand, frowning in thought, completely unaware that the weather outside had already changed.
Outside the window, the once clear blue sky was now covered by large, gloomy black clouds.
The transition from white to black happened in just a few short moments; they had already completed their alternation.
Now, the outside was enveloped in darkness, but Liang Yu had not noticed it at all.
The room inside the car had an intelligent system that could automatically adjust the indoor lighting, maintaining the room’s brightness at a constant value.
Liang Yu was focused on tinkering with his tools and had no spare thoughts to notice this change.
The Survivors outside, facing these sudden weather changes, were already accustomed to them, one might even say they were used to it.
After all, with the previous two extremes, now it was just dark, and in their eyes, darkness meant a heavy downpour was coming.
So, the Survivors who were scavenging for supplies outside were very cooperative; all the Survivors near their outposts rushed back.
Those more distant Survivors temporarily found a house to stay in, using it as a makeshift outpost to escape the impending heavy rain.
As time passed and the sky grew darker, Liang Yu finally noticed it; he put down what he was doing and looked at the sky outside, which was pitch black.
He checked the time, it was a little past five in the evening, and after thinking for a moment, Liang Yu did not take it to heart; it was normal for it to be dark at a little past five.
Even if it was caused by some special reason, it put no pressure on him.
Moreover, at this time of day, for Liang Yu, the most important thing was to eat; none of the tasks he had at hand had a higher priority than eating.
After he leisurely finished dinner, nearly an hour had passed, and Liang Yu truly enjoyed this kind of life, where he did not need to consider anything at all, just live well.
While he was spacing out, Lan Ling walked over and brought him a freshly squeezed coconut juice; Liang Yu took the coconut juice from her hand and immediately put it to his lips.
After taking a few sips, he suddenly remembered something, so he casually asked Lan Ling.
“How’s the rain outside now?”
“Is it like last time, with strong winds and heavy rain?”
However, he was met with Lan Ling’s gaze as if he were an idiot, and then she walked over, hugged his head, buried it in front of her, and continuously stroked his head.
“Sigh!”
“Have you really become foolish?”
“Where is the rain outside? It hasn’t rained a single drop all day until now.”
Feeling the milky scent in front of him, Liang Yu suddenly opened his eyes after hearing Lan Ling’s words and took his head out of her embrace.
If it really hadn’t rained all day, Liang Yu felt that his peaceful days might be over.
After greeting Lan Ling, he quickly ran to the driver’s seat.
As soon as he sat down, he immediately used the Satellite to check the situation outside.
The scenes from various locations transmitted by the Satellite were like a series of desolate paintings.
The city ruins stood silent under the dim moonlight, with no trace of Survivor activity; the former hustle and bustle, the laughter, were all swallowed by endless silence.
However, the scene shifted, and the giant animals appeared.
They slowly emerged from their hidden places, their forms appearing and disappearing in the dimness, like mysterious giant beasts from ancient times.
These enormous animals, like moving tanks, engaged in fierce battles with each other.
Roars and howls intertwined, making the ground tremble slightly.
Liang Yu’s eyes widened, his face filled with shock and confusion; he was very puzzled, wondering why these animals’ aggressiveness had suddenly increased so much.
These giant beasts had originally lived peacefully on this land, but now they seemed to be driven by an invisible force, furiously attacking their own kind and other species.
Liang Yu was full of confusion, and he tried to find the source of this chaos but found nothing.
He could not possibly attribute the reason for them changing like this to the arrival of night, could he?
Compared to that, Liang Yu was more willing to believe that it was due to the unknown agents within their bodies that caused them to change like this.
