    Chapter 242 Asteroid

    The smell of the water used for washing was stronger than what I had smelled before admiring the south. It was not smelly, but it was pungent to the point of being so pungent that I couldn't open my eyes.

    He rubbed his whole body hastily, and the smell penetrated into the trachea along his nose, making Shan Nan cough uncontrollably and choked to tears.

    Shang Nan could only put on his pants while sitting on the toilet. When his ankles were exposed, Shang Nan saw the purple lines running up the middle of his calves in tears, like cracks on a stone.

    Humans can't do anything about it in this world. Even if they do everything, Shannan is still a human, so he will be affected by radiation, but he doesn't know it will happen so quickly.

    [14: Because you have been in close contact with rocks before. If you have no health problems at all, the observatory will not let you leave. There is no point in your staying at the observatory. It is better to let you go at the last moment and go to be with your relatives and friends.Saying goodbye or something, is this the kind of thing that humans will do in their final journey?]

    "The last time?!" Shannan was so shocked that he didn't even bother to zip up his pants. He looked down at his chest, "The progress shouldn't be that fast."

    [14: About a month.]

    [14: I tried to repair your body, but do you know?I feel like I have been affected by the increasing radiation from Planet A and the encirclement of the meteorite swarm. I exist in your consciousness and am in contact with your brain waves, so I know your thoughts and we can communicate silently.,but I……]

    14 went offline for a while, and then came back up again in just ten seconds: I won’t disappear into this world with you, my God!!!

    Shang Nan: "..."

    14 With such ghosts crying and wolf howling, Shannan was not so scared.

    [14: Many situations like this have happened before. I was impressed by the charm of the male protagonist in the crematorium and wanted to stay in the mission world, but my heart was torn out. I was seduced by the world of luxuries and wealth and stayed in the mission world.I was completely changed beyond recognition and was shot to death. But I am a system and I am not affected. However, this world has radiation. This radiation destroys the human body and brain, and it also affects me indirectly.]

    Shannan's reaction was slow, "Then you leave now?"

    [14: I can’t leave. The mission has not been completed. I can only temporarily log off. When the time comes, I will be forcibly recalled.]

    [14: Now we can be regarded as a community of life. You should work hard, there is only one month left.]

    Shang Nan bent down and lifted up his trouser legs again. His fingers slid over the purple cracks on his calves. They were not uneven, just like part of the skin. They were lying on his body quietly without any movement.

    "No wonder I felt tight in my chest when I coughed just now," Shannan smiled bitterly, "But 14, I am not sure that I can save this world and you."

    "Ning Yi, he doesn't have much hatred. He lives a very relaxed and happy life. I can't feel any resentment in him, but he doesn't care about the life forms of Planet A," Shan Nan said slowly, "Before, at the door of the noodle shop, he evenIt took a lot of adjustment to find a bitter expression to deal with that mother and daughter and me."

    "He also knows that no one can repay the life forms on the White Leopard Planet. He also knows that the doctor did not do it intentionally and the doctor did not know about it. He did not leave Planet A, probably because he did not know about it. As long as he returns to the White Leopard PlanetStar, then the White Leopard Star can be reborn, and those life forms that have become fossils..."

    [14: But we can’t tell him directly. In fact, you can go back to your hometown, and he will crush you to death.]

    "I just want to express that for Ning Yi, some small favors cannot sway him. After all, I am facing trillions of lives on the White Leopard Star." Shang Nan lowered his head and zipped up his pants and put on his shirt."Going out to sleep."

    As soon as he opened the door, Ning Yi's face came into view. When he saw Shannan, he smiled and said, "Team leader, you haven't come out for so long, I thought you fainted inside."

    Shang Nan: "No."

    "Then are you in zw?"

    Shang Nan: "..."

    Ning Yi continued to ask: "By the way, team leader, you haven't told me yet, did the Observatory transfer you because you are not fit to continue working?"

    The next day, Ning Yi came down from upstairs, still carrying his bag, and walked to the front desk. "There is a card on the bedside table in the room, saying there is free breakfast. Where is the breakfast?"

    The boss was lying at the front desk, as if sleeping.

    "Hello."

    Ning Yi pushed the boss on the shoulder. It wasn't heavy, but the boss fell to the ground with a chair. When he was on the ground, he still kept his upper body bent over the desk. His body was stiff and his face was purple, as if he was extremely lacking.oxygen status.

    "Team leader, he's dead." Ning Yi turned to Shannan and said, "More and more people are dying suddenly now." He said in a sad tone, with a smile on his lips.

    Shannan went over to Ning Yi, who was just watching the excitement, and went to the front desk to look through the phone book. There were family members' phone numbers on it. He directly dialed the other party's wife's number and whispered the news to her.

    The lady on the other end of the phone seemed to be unable to control herself. She choked up and forced herself to calm down. "Sorry, actually we all know that he won't live long, and we are already mentally prepared."

    Ning Yi leaned against the front desk, turning the lighter in his hand, watching the flames licking the air, and the edges burning the invisible creatures in the air with a burning smell. He heard the voice of the team leader comforting the other party's family behind him.

    "Let's go." Shonan hung up the phone and found Ning Yi in a daze with his back to him. He woke him up and walked out of the hotel door first.

    Ning Yi caught up from behind, "Team leader, you can drive today. My eyes don't feel good." He pointed to his left eye.

    "good."

    The sky was overcast, the wind was light, and the meteorites seemed a little less active. There were more people on the road than before, and many more shops were open.

    Ning Yi put his seat down and lay half in it. He looked at the sky through the corner of the car window. His eyes could see places that humans need to use telescopes to see. Those meteorites were almost starting to sleep, and they were so useless.

    He turned his head and glanced at Shannan, who was concentrating on driving. He suddenly felt that it would be a pity for a living being like the team leader to disappear.

    Shannan looked at the time and said, "We'll be there in another two hours."

    Ning Yi looked at the roof of the car and said, "Team leader, how did you stay so calm? You're almost dead."

    "I just know I'm going to die, so I'm calm." We have entered Xishi, but it will still take some time to drive to the Xishi Observatory. Xishi is a city with relatively high air quality. It lies on a high terrain and is surrounded by mountains and dense forests., the flora and fauna in this area can still be seen as they were on Planet A decades ago, but the density of the trees and the altitude cannot be compared with those in the past.

    "What about you, are you feeling okay?" Shannan turned the steering wheel and asked Ning Yi.

    Ning Yi said calmly, "I'm fine. Maybe it's because my physical condition is relatively good. I haven't felt any discomfort yet."

    After he finished speaking, he adjusted his seat again and said to Shan Nan seriously: "Team leader, don't you want to go home and be with your parents in the last stage of your life? It's very unnecessary for you to be so busy."

    Shang Nan slowed down the car and spoke slowly, "There will still be a while, maybe some creatures in outer space will suddenly show kindness and stop the siege of our planet, then I can continue to live.".”

    His light tone sounded as if he was just saying it casually without any other meaning, but it would be different if it fell into the eyes of someone who was interested.

    "Do you believe there are aliens?" There was nothing strange in Ning Yi's eyes.

    "Believe me, the appearance may not be the same as that of humans, but they should all belong to living bodies, just like the White Leopard Star. It didn't die because the core living body left the planet," Shang Nan looked forward.He said to himself, "The doctor must have suffered a lot in these years. Maybe he didn't expect that such an inconspicuous little move of his would bring disaster to an asteroid. He has always felt sorry."

    Ning Yi put down the seat again, and turned his face towards the car door, his eyes cold, "So what?"

    "nothing."

    "But no one seems to resent him," Ning Yi said with a sneer. For Dr. Sky, a person who brought disaster to the entire human planet, these humans did not blame him too much. "What does he have to be sorry for?He should regret his behavior at that time."

    "No matter how sorry I am, haven't you lived to be a hundred years old? If you wanted to commit suicide, you would have committed suicide a long time ago. Why are you pretending?"

    [14: His words fit perfectly with the vicious male supporting role!!!hateful!!!]

    Shan Nan glanced at Ning Yi and said, "No matter how big the mistake he made, his talent cannot be denied. He also made a lot of corrections in the later period."

    Ning Yi made a sound.

    The car was quiet for a long time, and Ning Yi suddenly said: "Team leader, were we quarreling just now?"

    Shang Nan: "..."

    "You actually quarreled with me over Dr. Sky?" Ning Yi got up and looked at Shannan, "You are so loving, why don't you feel sorry for me?"

    "I feel sorry for you," Shang Nan turned the steering wheel and suddenly smiled at Ning Yi, "Why don't I feel sorry for you? Otherwise, I can go in the other direction, and I don't have to go with you."

    While Ning Yi was stunned, Shannan stopped the car. He opened the door and took the money to fill up the gas.

    Gas prices have been rising. Shannan looked at the gas prices on the bulletin board, counted a few coins and threw them in the basket. He opened the gas tank of the off-road vehicle and started to fill the gas tank.

    Ning Yi looked at the young man outside the car. The team leader was still very young. He heard from a high school alumnus that he skipped two grades, so in terms of age, he should be one year younger than himself.

    No, he should have been older than the team leader in terms of age. The time the White Leopard Star appeared was his actual age.

    He saw that the team leader was very serious about cheering. The team leader was more beautiful than many humans. Regardless of male or female, his appearance could be described as beautiful. His bones and muscles were extremely perfect. He was a rare and beautiful life form in the universe.

    Shang Nan filled up the gas tank, looked up, and was startled when he met Ning Yi's deep eyes, which were as bright as those of death planets.

    Just as I was about to get in the car and get back on the road, a small voice called "Uncle" came from behind the gas tank.

    Hearing the sound, Shannan turned to look behind the fuel tank. A little boy in tattered clothes walked out from behind. He looked about six or seven years old. But in this era, the environment hinders development. The child's real age should be nine years old.

    His eyes were big, his face was as thin as a skull, his clothes were as dirty as a rag covering his body, and his exposed limbs were black and thin, like dead branches.

    Ning Yi put down the car window and he lay on it, "Little beggar."

    Shang Nan opened the back door and took a bag of bread from inside. The child kept staring at the face in Shang Nan's hand from the moment Shang Nan took out the bread, until Shang Nan squatted down in front of him.

    "Are you alone?" Shonan put the bread into his hand.Nowadays, the quality and harvest of wheat are not as good as before, and the taste of the bread is greatly reduced. However, the child grabs the bread in his hand and devours it as if it is the most delicious food in the world.

    He nodded fiercely while stuffing bread into his mouth, "My parents are dead. Their friends sent me to the West City to find my uncle, but they robbed me of all my things on the way. I asked for directions.To go to West Market, just keep walking towards the west.”

    Shannan's legs were numb from squatting, "Then do you know your uncle's contact information?"

    "I don't know. My mother never told me that I have this uncle before."

    Shannan frowned. He turned around and glanced at Ning Yi, who was playing with a lighter again. "Ning Yi, shall we give him a ride?"

    Ning Yi lay back and said, "Whatever."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy rushed past Shannan, climbed into the seat behind, and continued to nibble on bread in the car.

    As we approached the city of Xishi, the crowds along the highway became sparse, and the sky above our heads became dim.

    "Today's daylight is less than five hours." Shang Nan glanced at the time, and his hair stood on end. This time was too short. Planet A could not fall directly into the endless night in the future.

    Ning Yi said "Huh", as if falling asleep.

    "boom"!

    The front of the car bumped into something, because Shannan didn't react, the wheels were still turning rapidly, making a screeching sound on the spot.

    Shang Nan was shocked so much that his palms went numb. He moved his feet away and stopped the car without turning off the engine.

    It was completely dark.

    "You guys are in the car, I'll go down and take a look." Shang Nan unbuckled his seat belt. He thought he hit something like a rock, but in order to defend himself, Shang Nan still leaned over and grabbed a gun from under his feet and pushed it away.He hadn't forgotten to close the car door.

    [14: Wild Boar.]

    Shang Nan's steps suddenly stopped. After 14 made a sound, Shang Nan heard and saw the group of backs that were constantly swaying, and the noisy and messy sniffing sounds they made.

    They have surrounded the off-road vehicle and are using their heads to test the body of the vehicle. Under their feet are little wild boar cubs waiting to be fed.

    Shang Nan saw the scene in front of him clearly, and after seeing the hunger and restlessness in their eyes, he took two steps back. The wild boars also saw him, and their eyes were cast on the human being.

    Their movements obviously slowed down and they stared at Shang Nan.

    The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear the wind, and the wind blew dust into the jungle, and the jungle roared. The rough breathing of these animals made them look like vicious gangsters. They were not afraid of humans at all, and even looked like they were ready toActively attack.

    The largest wild boar was the first to make a move, taking a small step forward with its hooves.

    Shang Nan immediately fired a shot at the ground in front of it. He completely subconsciously wanted to stop this group of hungry creatures. In this world, people can't live a good life, and animals can't live a good life either. Everyone suffers together.So Shang Nan couldn't bear to put bullets into their bodies.

    The little boy was lying on the back seat window, looking at the scene outside in fear.

    Shang Nan moved his steps cautiously, but at this moment, there was a sudden huge movement from his side. Shang Nan turned his head and saw a wild boar running towards him.

    The wild boar is much faster than Shannan imagined.

    Another huge force came from the other side. Shang Nan was grabbed by the arm and dragged. His body was off the ground. When he reacted, he had been caught in the driver's seat.

    Ning Yi didn't let him stay in the driver's seat, but stuffed him into the back seat. "I'll drive." Ning Yi's tone and expression were not good.

    Shannan was thrown into the back seat and hit his head on the car window. He was afraid that Ning Yi would drive and hit them randomly, so he didn't care about the pain. He got up first and grabbed Ning Yi's shoulders, "Detour, don't hit them."

    "Team leader, can you please stop being so kind? Just pick up the little beggar, do you want to put these wild boars on the car now?" Ning Yi suddenly changed his face, and his tone was contemptuous, which made Shang Nan feel nervous.

    Shang Nan was deflated. After holding it in for a long time, he said "Sorry" and sat back.

    Ning Yi felt the hand pressing on his shoulder was taken away. He looked at the large group of wild boars blocking the road. There were also other animals among them. They were all hungry and looked like walking skeletons.It's not that bad, it can only scare humans.

    He turned the steering wheel and changed lanes instead of crashing into it.

    Ning Yi's driving style and Shonan's driving were completely different. After leaving that section of road, Ning Yi rushed all the way. The little boy held Shonan's arm and shook it, holding back vomiting until his face turned red..

    Until the car drove into the city, Ning Yi suddenly braked and stopped the car in front of a convenience store. As soon as he got off the car, a female voice reminded him from the radio: Meteorite 60 will fall in two minutes, and it is expected to fall inOn the outskirts of West City, the affected area will be within 4,000 meters. Surrounding residents are asked to evacuate as soon as possible.

    Suburbs?Shang Nan got out of the car and looked up at the dark sky. The meteorites were invisible to the naked eye, but the shining stars shone in the gaps among the meteorites.

    It's okay in the suburbs. There are almost no humans living in the suburbs now.

    In the last days, humans, as social animals, still want to stay with their own kind and stay warm together.

    Shannan went to see Ning Yi and saw Ning Yi buying drinks in a convenience store. He still looked cold. What was he unhappy about?

    Ning Yi lowered his head and looked at the drinks in the refrigerator seriously. There were too few categories. Although there were many colors, there were only five drinks in total. He closed the door of the refrigerator and took a bottle of wine next to it.

    The woman at the cashier stared at him for a long time until he came over to pay.

    After giving the money, Ning Yi stood expressionlessly and unscrewed the lid of the wine, raised his head and took a big gulp into his mouth. The wine now tastes terrible, incomparable to before, but it can still be sold., because there is demand.

    Ning Yi was halfway through his drink and was too lazy to look at the confused lady at the cashier. He looked at the parking spot. His team leader, who was always well-intentioned and died soon, was standing next to the car, facing him, looking beautiful and elegant.Like a pure white lily.

    Meeting their gazes, Shannan curled the corners of her mouth towards him.

    Ning Yi raised the bottle and poured the last sip into his mouth. He was not angry with the team leader, just with himself.

    He promised not to save humanity.

    The author has something to say:

    You care so much, but if you don’t save humanity, why don’t you save your wife?
