TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 201

Chapter 201 Alarm Sounds

“Are you ever going to stop? It’s been over half a year, and you’re still acting like a starving ghost reincarnated.”

On the high watchtower of Li City, Gu Tangxi was complaining about Gu Tangyue, who was sitting on the high wall on the other side, munching on tomatoes. It was their turn to be on duty tonight, keeping watch.

The moon was bright, and the stars were sparse. The searchlights illuminated the night, already as bright as day, making it even clearer.

More than a month had passed since the disastrous snow melted. The snow had covered everything for half a year, and in the blink of an eye, it was the scorching heat of July and August again. The familiar dryness and heat were gradually filling people’s lives again. Extreme cold was a disaster, and extreme heat was no less so. Since the end of the world descended, it seemed that only winter and summer remained on this land, with no spring or autumn…

Gu Tangyue paused, turned her head gloomily to look at Gu Tangxi, and said, “Can’t I even satisfy this little hobby?” She deliberately took a bite provocatively in front of Gu Tangxi’s face, chewed it hard a couple of times, and swallowed it. “Besides, tomatoes aren’t expensive. They’re the cheapest fruits and vegetables. You should be thankful that I like such cheap things; otherwise, I’d eat you poor!”

Gu Tangxi laughed in anger, “Heh! If anyone’s going to be poor, it’ll be you. You’re the one who loves to eat them, not me. What does it have to do with me? Can’t you tell what’s important?”

Gu Tangyue’s style suddenly changed, and she smiled fawningly, “Hehe, isn’t it because you’re my dear sister!” Then, with a mischievous expression, she asked, “Don’t you think so? Si~ster!”

Gu Tangxi glared at her speechlessly, “Seriously, since coming here, you’ve been squandering your Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core. for more than half a year. You’re either trading with this person for vegetables or with that person for fruit, as if you’ve never eaten them before. Don’t you think about improving yourself? What’s this? Are you turning grief into appetite, trying to heal your wounds with food all day long?”

“What grief? What healing?” Gu Tangyue didn’t acknowledge this unwarranted accusation. “Don’t talk nonsense. I’m eating and drinking well here, and I’m happy every day. Where does the grief come from?”

Even speaking couldn’t stop that foodie mouth. In between, Gu Tangyue continued to bite into the crisp, sour tomato, chewed it, and then continued, “Hey, it’s just that I haven’t eaten them before! You don’t know, when I first came here and learned about the way these fruits and vegetables are grown, I was stunned!”

Gu Tangxi Perfunctoryperfunctorily responded while surveying the surroundings with binoculars, “What?”

“What? What did you say?” Gu Tangyue straightened her posture a bit. She wanted to talk to her about it properly, “I don’t even want to say it. Tell me… tell me… what kind of amazing team was that we had back then? We had water if we needed water, wood if we needed wood, fire if we needed fire, and even a large space that could be stopped at any time. Why didn’t we think of scattering some seeds and watering them in the soil? Every day, we were just robbing food from zombie nests, living on dried rice, dried potatoes, and pickled canned goods.”

Gu Tangyue really got angry every time she thought about it, “Damn it! What kind of dry life were we living before!!!”

She didn’t even eat the tomato. After rattling off a bunch of things with her mouth empty, she got herself angry. She was too lazy to even eat the little bit left on her butt and threw it away. In the past, she was the kind of person who didn’t even leave the skin.

Gu Tangxi sneered, “Heh… heh! You should be content. We were either in the zombie city fighting with swords and shadows or jumping up and down in the mountains all day long. Who had the chance to see these things? The main thing is that we didn’t lack food, so who had the leisure to use their abilities to grow fruits and vegetables?”

Thinking about it, Gu Tangyue shrank back sheepishly and took out a brand new one to gnaw on, “Then you still won’t let me eat~!”

Gu Tangxi put down the binoculars and looked at her, seeing a tomato in her hand that was whole except for a bite mark, “…You’re still eating?!”

Gu Tangyue’s biting action paused, and then she took a big bite from top to bottom.

After a long time, Gu Tangxi sighed and gave up struggling, “Ah, eat, eat, eat, eat, you eat, you eat, keep eating. We don’t know if we’ll have tomorrow, so it’s good to eat well. Eat more while you’re still alive. Maybe one day we’ll have to change our ingredient list.”

Gu Tangyue felt a chill, “Ew~~~! Don’t say that. I will love my big tomatoes, big rice, and big potatoes for all eternity. I love sweet food and can’t stand the smell of blood. Thank you, no!”

“Besides, which eye of yours saw that I haven’t been improving myself?”

Gu Tangxi only felt a gust of spatial airflow rushing towards her. In the blink of an eye, Gu Tangyue had flashed in front of her and said triumphantly, “Here! I couldn’t do this before.”

Gu Tangxi’s eyes lit up. She didn’t have time to worry about the saliva mixed with tomato juice that had sprayed on her face and hurriedly said, “You learned a new skill?”

“Mhm!” Gu Tangyue took half a step back to distance herself, becoming even more smug.

“What is this? Teleportation? Flash? Then you really have the capital to show off. This is a divine skill for sneak attacks and escapes!”

This instead made Gu Tangyue feel embarrassed, “Oh, it’s not that great. There’s a distance limit.”

“How so?” Gu Tangxi affirmed her again, “That’s still amazing.”

“It’s just……, um?!”

Gu Tangyue was about to tell her in detail the advantages and disadvantages of her new skill when both of them were jolted by the loud alarm, sending a chill to their hearts. Without needing to say more, they immediately rushed to the edge of the tower to look down. They couldn’t see anything with the naked eye, and Gu Tangxi’s heart sank again, “How is that possible? The alarms all around are sounding at the same time. This shouldn’t be just one or two hidden experts, right?”

In the past, the only things that could trigger so many alarms at the same time were massive attacks, but now there were no signs of anything. Gu Tangxi was searching bit by bit with the binoculars, “Do you see where it is?”

Gu Tangyue, who was doing the same on the other side, looked grave and replied, “No.”

What they didn’t know was that the alarms sounding were far more than they could hear. At the same time, alarms were ringing out one after another throughout the entire Li City base. The experimental subjects in various research institutes rioted again. All personnel pulled the alarm bells and carried out emergency procedures in a panicked but orderly manner. However, they did not know what exactly was causing this riot.
