Chapter 85 Aquarium - The End
Chapter 85 Aquarium - The End
Perhaps it was because she had arrived too late, but Miao Yin did not see many marine creatures. They were all dead, and even the water was murky from the corpses.
She was a little disappointed, still holding the alarm in her hand to attract the hiding mutants.
As she suspected, the huge aquarium did indeed harbor a considerable number of mutants, with almost every exhibit having them. No wonder Ji Yuanzhou wandered around inside for a week before finally emerging.
If there are too many mutants, it means there will be fewer high-level crystal nuclei because there won't be enough food.
However, the quality is much higher than that of the ones sold on the street.
Although they had swept through the entire aquarium, they only found one yellow crystal core, but the number of blue-green crystal cores was still quite considerable; Miao Yin's small bag was already full of them.
Apart from the two with yellow crystal cores, which she killed, most of the others were killed by Tu Hao.
Miao Yin promised to give him one-third of the crystal cores as a reward, which was less than half of what he had received before. Tu Hao was indignant, but he still worked hard.
Because whether he wanted to or not, Miao Yin always found a way to make him do it; this was a rule that Tu Hao had summarized.
Rather than being tricked into doing work, it's better to try to negotiate more benefits for yourself than to be cursed and burned before doing unpaid work.
But by the end, Tu Hao was also starting to feel the strain.
Not to mention how difficult it is to fight those with blue crystal cores, there are also a lot of those aberrant beings without crystal cores. They come in groups of several at a time, and it takes a lot of effort to fight them.
But Miao Yin didn't care; she was determined to visit the entire aquarium today.
Tired from playing? That means you're not physically fit enough. You need to play more to improve yourself.
As the killing progressed, Tu Haoren became somewhat numb.
Miao Yin, who was eager to train his special ability, was leisurely drinking a beverage in the back, watching him work himself to the bone.
After finally finishing exploring the aquarium, Tu Haolei leaned against the wall, completely unwilling to move.
His clothes were completely filthy from the last time he changed them; they were covered in the blood of the mutant and tiny bits of tissue.
Finally, Miao Yin gave him six green crystal cores and two blue crystal cores, using their power to restore his physical strength, and he recovered.
It was already evening when they returned to the RV. Ji Yuanzhou was still lying unconscious in the vehicle, showing no signs of waking up, and his face was flushed with an abnormal flush.
When Miao Yin touched his forehead, it was burning hot.
"He has a fever."
"With you messing around like this, how could it not burn?" Tu Hao said, sitting at the dining table to rest, upon hearing her words.
Miao Yin took out a few anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing pills, threw them into his mouth, then gave him some water and an injection of glucose.
"Never mind, let him lie there. He should wake up tomorrow." She clapped her hands and said.
It's time for her to have dinner.
This time, I'm showing you the delicacies from Fuyunlou, such as candied sweet potatoes, lychee shrimp jelly, salt-baked abalone... a whole table full of them.
"Let's eat."
After a day of strolling around, the two were both quite tired, and their meals tasted especially delicious.
After dinner, as usual, Tu Hao had to wash the dishes.
"You just want to torture me, don't you?" Tu Hao had already seen through this person.
"Wouldn't it be better for you to learn another skill? Don't you understand my good intentions?" Miao Yin sighed.
Tu Hao was too lazy to pay attention to her. He was tired enough today and didn't want to be burned by the curse again late at night.
He roughly stacked the plates together, then threw them into the kitchen sink and began his work with a clattering sound.
Because he didn't want to wash the dishes, he even deliberately crushed several of them to reduce his workload.
Then it was burned by Miao Yin.
"Damn it! What are you doing?!"
The sudden pain caused him to collapse to the ground, the plate in his hand shattering at his feet, some shards even embedding themselves in his hand.
"Someone is playing a trick on me, but I won't say who." Miao Yin leaned against the door, watching his pained expression with a sense of pleasure.
Tu Hao winced in pain, glaring fiercely at her.
So Miao Yin walked over and poked his forehead: "Be obedient, do what I tell you to do, don't try to sneak around or find shortcuts, you can't escape."
After saying that, she turned and left, going into the bathroom to take a shower.
Tu Hao was left behind, furious.
After taking a bath, Miao Yin left Tu Hao a new set of clothes, then closed the door and went to sleep.
There was only one bed in the car, so of course she slept there. As for what to do with the two people outside at night, that was for Tu Hao to figure out herself.
She's gotten used to sleeping alone now.
In their past lives, they didn't have such powerful superpowers and weapons, and with mutants running rampant, accidents often happened at night.
At that time, for safety reasons, she and Tu Hao always slept very close to each other. If they could find a place to stay, she would sleep on the bed and Tu Hao would sleep on the floor next to her.
If they have no place to stay, they will rest for the night against a wall in a relatively safe place.
Because of the hardships she endured during the previous two months, she couldn't sleep well at night and would be easily awakened by the slightest noise.
She has trouble falling back asleep once she wakes up, and she gets very annoyed when she sees Tu Hao sleeping next to her.
So whenever she woke up, she would deliberately wake Tu Hao up as well, forcing him to tell her a bedtime story.
Tu Hao was initially incredibly annoyed, but after being severely burned a few times, he finally listened and began telling some nonsensical fairy tales.
What a story it is: Prince Charming kissed sleeping Cinderella, the seven dwarfs got together with Snow White, and even poisoned the emperor.
Later, when he had finished telling all the fairy tales and couldn't make up any more, he could only tell her about his past experiences and some knowledge she had never heard of before.
It was through these experiences that Miao Yin began to truly understand what the world before the apocalypse was like, which is why she was able to integrate into it so quickly in this lifetime.
Because of this storytelling experience, she gradually got used to having someone by her side when she slept, and even after her sleep returned to normal, she didn't change the habit.
Tu Hao gradually got used to being woken up in the middle of the night to tell stories, and once, when Miao Yin slept well and didn't wake him up in the middle of the night, he even had some trouble getting used to it and suffered from insomnia.
However, this habit was completely changed after his rebirth.
She had heard all the stories Tu Hao could tell, and she no longer needed to protect him. There was no point in having him sleep next to her anymore.
Miao Yin snuggled in the blankets and read for a while.
Her online space contains many leisure and entertainment products she stockpiled back then, perfect as bedtime reading material.
I didn't put down the book and go to sleep until I felt a little sleepy.
