CHAPTER 502: CHAPTER 378: INCOMPREHENSIBLE DIARY CONTENT, IMPOSSIBLE PERSON_2

By the way, the system also released information today, saying that there are only about 43 million people left in the world. Half of the people lost in this month... suddenly there’s a sense of despair.

I want to go back now, but I don’t want to go back either. If I go back, I can find my mother, but what about Xiaomin?]

...

[Doomsday Calendar · Day 38]

[We have to move again, not because the disaster did anything to our extraordinarily strong shelter, but because we discovered new resources—oil!]

Even if we defeat the monsters, or even those lizard-faced "people," the number of treasure chests we can get just doesn’t increase, and it seems there’s no way in this world to improve such "luck."

Although the treasure chests are few, the things that come out of them are quite good, whether it’s food or tools, or even some things we couldn’t have imagined. When they appear, it’s pretty exciting.

For example, the revolver that’s always holstered at my waist, called a Colt or something, is something I got from a treasure chest.

That foreigner Cricket seems to know how to make bullets. We have things like brass, we have the designs for gunpowder, and eventually, we also successfully found saltpeter and sulfur, successfully manufacturing bullets, so now I’m not short of bullets for this gun.

Moreover, with plenty of bullets available, I take it out for hunting occasionally, and now my accuracy is quite good.

By the way, there are fifteen people in the shelter now, when did it get this many?

However, when my Xiaomin gives birth to our child, that will add one more, right?

That guy Xing Lingfeng who joined earlier is very strong, with outstanding capabilities in all areas. Although he’s just a young kid, he’s a qualified lieutenant.

The day before yesterday, eight of us left the shelter, splitting into pairs to explore the surroundings. Liu Cheng and I crossed a forest, then over a mountain, and after two days, we discovered on this barren desert, there was actually a black river!

Liu Cheng said it was oil, and we both brought some back. The rest confirmed it was indeed oil!

There was a new system feature introduced a few days ago, saying you could trade. What would happen if we managed to put up oil?

Suddenly I felt that maybe we wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing in the future. How important oil is, even though I haven’t read much, I know!

So our main task today is to pack up and move the whole shelter.

Four of the six remaining people who went out have returned, but Old Sun and Xing Lingfeng still haven’t come back, don’t know where they went. I left them a note, pressed down with a big rock, they shouldn’t miss it.

It doesn’t matter about Old Sun, but if Xing Lingfeng, who’s such a strong fighter, doesn’t come back, it’ll be a big loss.

Oh yeah, the disaster frequency has changed to once every fifteen days, finally a bit of a relief.]

...

[Doomsday Calendar · Day 41]

[Old Sun has returned, but Xing Lingfeng hasn’t come back.

Old Sun said the direction they went was exactly opposite to ours, near a small lake, about a day’s walk away.

There, they unexpectedly found a strange door by the lake. The door was made of wood, with a brick wall covered in vines next to it, looking like something nobody could have built there.

The other side of the door was also just nothing, felt like a prank.

Old Sun also said that when they curiously opened the door, they found that the other side wasn’t the little lake, but a big mountain!

The two of them went into the mountain and saw many animals, insects, and plants that used to be on Earth, instead of the monsters and odd plants of this cursed place.

The two rushed back; they finally returned to the original shelter location and saw our message, knowing we were over here.

Then, just as Old Sun was about to head off, Xing Lingfeng said he lost something, asked Old Sun to go ahead, and he would catch up.

I asked Old Sun what happened next, and he said he was too tired from the journey, so he found a tree to rest, told Little Xing to be quick, whether or not he found it, he had to be back within an hour.

But Little Xing did not return, and when Old Sun went back to search, he couldn’t find him, so he hurried back.

I feel Old Sun is lying. Did he kill Little Xing?

After all, finding the strange door and losing something, these reasons sound too far-fetched.

Old Sun swore that the door definitely exists. Seeing me not believe, he insisted on going back to find Xing and bring him back. I discussed with others, and we decided to send five people, bringing Old Sun along to search.

We can march at night anyway. With protective gear, there’s no problem, marching overnight is feasible.]

...

[Doomsday Calendar · Day 44]

[The disaster is still far away, so we don’t have to worry about that, the forced march finally brought us to the lake, but we didn’t find Little Xing, nor did we find the door Old Sun mentioned.

That old geezer, Old Sun, actually dared to lie? Try to fool me?

Xiaomin said although this matter was bizarre, Old Sun has been with us for a long time, shouldn’t be lying.

But I can’t get over this.

Even though Little Xing just came, he’s quite a bit better than that old fellow in many ways, and he brought us a lot of supplies. Disappearing like this, we can’t just let it go, right?
