Global Wasteland: My Evolutionary Path

Chapter 42 The Ancient Prophecy

The reason why Chu Huan did not act rashly was because he sensed a hint of danger. The cold snort sounded like someone blowing a breath of cool air on his neck, and the hairs on his whole body instantly stood up.

As the figure disappeared, a powerful aura gradually disappeared.

The feeling of being locked away disappeared, and Chu Huan let out a long sigh of relief.

Only then did I realize that I had suddenly broken out in a cold sweat.

Are the people hiding in the dark also mutants?

That sense of crisis made him a little uncomfortable. The other party was much more powerful than the mutated bat.

It was not advisable to stay here for a long time. Thinking of this, Chu Huan picked up the little girl on the ground and walked outside.

The temperature in the ancient city is relatively low at night, and a gust of night wind brings an indescribable feeling of comfort.

Putting his backpack on his back, Chu Huan walked towards the place where he found the old man before.

Fortunately, the old man did not leave. He sat on the ground, looking at the stars absently. When he heard the footsteps, he turned his head and saw Chu Huan and the little girl in Chu Huan's arms.

"Little bell..." The old man shouted subconsciously. He stood up and took two steps in the direction of Chu Huan. It was only two steps. A little scared, he stopped and looked at Chu Huan curiously.

"You saved the little bell...thank you."

After listening to the old man's words, Chu Huan stepped forward and handed over the small bell.

Originally, he wanted to ask why he sacrificed the little girl to the mutant, but seeing the old man's frightened look, Chu Huan didn't ask any more questions and turned around to leave.

The old man looked at Chu Huan's back and opened his chapped lips. After all, he still didn't say a word. When Chu Huan's figure disappeared into the night, he turned around and left with the little bell in his arms.

A moment later, just where Chu Huan left, the mutated bat-man fell from the sky. He sniffed and flew into the night sky again in the direction Chu Huan left.

After finding a sheltered place from the wind, Chu Huan leaned against a broken wall. Not feeling sleepy at all, he tried to summon the chip in his brain, but received no response.

"Hey Hey……"

There was a burst of laughter in the night sky. Chu Huan looked up and saw a mutated bat man hovering above his head.

Chu Huan took out his pistol, reloaded the bullets, and fired several shots at the mutants in the night sky!

The sound of gunshots frightened the mutant, and he retreated ten feet. Finally, he flew to the boundary monument of the ancient city, folded his wings and sat down cross-legged.

"This..." Chu Huan was speechless looking at the blurry outline on the boundary monument. If a mutant fused with bat genes, would he not need to sleep at night like a bat? That's why he was intruding on him like this?

Just to keep yourself up at night?

This doesn't make any sense.

There is nothing wrong with him staying up all night. The purpose of the mutated batman should be more than that, right? Thinking of this, Chu Huan sat down cross-legged and waited quietly.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Chu Huan showed no reaction. The mutated bat man flapped his wings again and hovered above Chu Huan's head. Chu Huan still closed his eyes and ignored him.

Seeing an opportunity, the mutant swooped down towards Chu Huan this time, and a sharp sword appeared in his hand!

Three feet, two feet...

One foot...

Chu Huan opened his eyes and looked at the mutant who was rushing toward him. He didn't move, but moved his wrist slightly.

Gunshot!

ah!

With a scream, the mutant flew high again quickly!

"Wait!" This time the mutant didn't stop anymore and flew away into the distance, leaving behind a cruel message.

"How stupid!" Chu Huan shook his head slightly, then leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

The mutated bat did not appear again throughout the night, nor did the mysterious man with amazing momentum. When the sky got slightly brighter, Chu Huan stood up and stretched. Just when he was about to eat some canned food for breakfast, someone came to him.

A stone was thrown at the side.

Chu Huan turned around and saw the little bell.

Seeing Chu Huan looking over, Xiao Lingdang was a little scared, but she couldn't resist the temptation of food and slowly walked towards Chu Huan.

Chu Huan opened the can and opened a bottle of water and placed it next to the can.

Then he got up and looked around.

He came here for the first time last night and didn't observe it carefully. Now he calmed down and felt everything around him. He found that the gravity here seemed a bit weird.

It's like there is a strong suction, and each step takes more effort than the previous one.

Is this a change in the magnetic field?

Just as he was thinking about it, the little bell not far away suddenly burst into tears. Chu Huan hurried over and saw the little bell crying while eating.

"Don't cry while eating, what's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Lingdang holding water in one hand and a can in the other, Chu Huan didn't understand why she was fine just now, but suddenly cried.

"So... delicious... so delicious..."

???

Chu Huan understood.

Little Lingdang was stimulated by the delicious food, but... if she ate Yong'an's food... she might faint from happiness?

Thinking of this, Chu Huan smiled. He took out a box of biscuits and a pack of ham from his backpack and handed them to Xiao Lingdang: "These are yours too. If you cry again, I won't give them to you!"

"Okay." Ringing the bell laughed through tears and said politely: "Thank you, uncle..."

???

Chu Huan was confused...Uncle, well, in the eyes of children, he has become an uncle now.

"Why don't you eat?" Seeing Xiao Lingdang holding the food but not opening it, Chu Huan asked in confusion.

"I want to leave it to grandpa." Little Lingdang bit her lip tightly: "Uncle, can you save us?"

"The bad guys took me away last night, and grandpa said you rescued me."

"Don't worry, those bad guys will never dare to come again with my uncle." Chu Huan said, picking up the hiking bag: "Where is your grandpa? Take me to find him."

Chu Huan wanted to ask the old man about the mutants. He wanted to know the changes in the magnetic field here, so he had to investigate carefully here, but there were mutant bats and the mysterious man who never showed up... He didn't know for sure.

The other party's bottom line, in case of another conflict...

If the other party keeps using human lives as food, Chu Huan cannot stand idly by.

Seeing that Chu Huan said that she was going to see her grandpa, little Lingdang became happy. She carefully capped the bottle after drinking some water, took the food that Chu Huan gave her, and happily jumped ahead.

On the way, Chu Huan asked if there was anyone else here, and Xiao Lingdang said yes, but there were fewer and fewer people in the past few years. They used to be able to come here to play, but his grandfather stopped letting him come here half a year ago.

"Why?"

"Because there are many people who can't be found." In Xiao Lingdang's concept, if they can't be found, they are just lost, and Chu Huan thinks that those who can't be found may be dead.

"Uncle, what's it like outside?"

"Well...there are trees, there are flowers...and there are a lot of nice and fun things."

"Uncle, can you take me to have a look?" Xiao Lingdang said with an aggrieved look on her face: "Grandpa probably won't let me go, he's watching me very closely."

"..."

"Have you always lived here?"

"yes."

"There's nothing here, why not move away."

"Because I have to wait for someone."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Grandpa said to wait for the savior."

"What savior?"

“O God of our salvation!”

"..."

"Grandpa said that someone will come to save us in the prophecy."

"So you just stay here waiting to be rescued?"
