TLCBITAR Chapter 246

Chapter 246: The Heavens Want Me Dead!

“Drip, drip, drip.”

A raindrop the size of a bean landed on Zhou Zhou’s face. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the clear blue sky was now dotted with a few dark clouds.

The raindrops became more and more dense, quickly wetting his hair. He hurriedly took off his white suit jacket and covered his head, quickly running towards the place where there were no dark clouds.

However, the weeds were chest-high, making progress extremely difficult. His mood was terrible, and his brow was constantly furrowed, never relaxing.

“Damn it, I xxx!” After walking for about an hour, the front was still a dense mass of weeds. Zhou Zhou finally couldn’t help it, and he looked up at the dark clouds that seemed to be following him and cursed loudly.

“Rumble!”

A bright purple lightning bolt tore through the sky, suddenly striking a distant mountain peak. Zhou Zhou saw the mountaintop flickering with fire in the blurry rain.

His heart beat violently. He silently closed his mouth and followed the built-in compass of the light brain, walking towards the east.

The rain gradually lessened, and he also left the weed thicket, his whole body in a terrible state. The suit jacket covering his head couldn’t withstand the heavy rain and was ruined into a salty mess. Zhou Zhou twisted it into a rope shape to squeeze out the rainwater.

This was the only piece of clothing he had, and he couldn’t afford to lose it. Tenghu Planet was an undeveloped planet, and it was impossible to find a second piece of clothing.

What’s more, he couldn’t predict whether the temperature would change at night.

He held the crumpled jacket in one hand and walked slowly towards a higher place. When he was tired, he sat down on a boulder.

He crossed his legs and plucked the weed thorns one by one from his suit pants. The white shirt had already been torn by the barbed weeds, and the expensive leather shoes had become dirty, with mud covering the edges.

Having been here for three hours, from the initial despair to the current numbness, Zhou Zhou had nothing to say.

In order to replenish his strength and prepare for the long night ahead, he began to look for food.

Ahead was a lush forest, with golden yellow fruits hanging between the branches and leaves, and flocks of birds circling around the forest.

Zhou Zhou sniffed, vaguely smelling the sweet and sour aroma of the fruit. He swallowed his saliva, patted his butt, stood up, and after the weakness in his legs subsided, he started walking towards the forest.

The chirping of birds, the sound of birds flapping their wings, and the sound of fruit falling to the ground gathered together, weaving a vibrant scene.

It wasn’t until he arrived at the foot of the forest that he realized that the trunks of each tree were about six or seven meters high, and the bark was smooth with no place to put his feet. He looked up at the tempting fruit and murmured, “I don’t have claws or tools, so don’t even think about climbing up.”

He lowered his eyes and looked at the fruit that had fallen into the short grass. He bent down and picked up a fruit, and a fat white worm suddenly crawled out from the cracked pulp.

Obviously, the inside had become a paradise for worms and could not be eaten.

He picked up more than a dozen fruits in a row, barely finding one that wasn’t infested with worms, but the part of the fruit that touched the ground was already soft and muddy, and there were many grass clippings stuck to the flesh.

“At least it’s a purely natural wild fruit, so don’t be picky if you can eat it.” Zhou Zhou sat on the ground, peeled off the dirty parts and threw them away. The rich aroma of the fruit filled his nose and mouth, and he swallowed his saliva again, picked up the fruit, and took a small bite.

The soft and glutinous pulp almost melted in his mouth, exuding a sweet and sour taste. Zhou Zhou licked his lips, and his mood finally improved a little.

After eating a few fruits to fill his stomach, Zhou Zhou got up and walked into the depths of the forest. The wilderness at night was too dangerous. Who knew if there were any large carnivores lurking? He could only find a safe place before dark to spend his difficult first night.

The sun gradually set in the west, and Zhou Zhou shuttled through the forest, facing the fiery red glow.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and God finally opened his eyes. Zhou Zhou looked surprised and quickly walked to a large tree that had been around for many years. A crack that only allowed one person to pass through had opened below the trunk. He turned on the light of the light brain and shone it inside.

The tree hole was covered with leaves. He poked it with branches he picked up from under the tree and found that there were no snakes, rats, or other creatures, so he was relieved.

Unknowingly, the last ray of light disappeared on the horizon, and the sounds of mosquitoes and other unknown creatures rang out in the forest, which was extremely lively.

Zhou Zhou hugged his knees with both legs and rested his chin on his knees. The tree hole was covered with branches, and it was dark inside. He didn’t dare to turn on the lights, for fear of attracting the beasts of this unknown planet.

Zhou Zhou had been on Tenghu Planet for a full eight hours, and he was physically and mentally exhausted. His eyelids gradually became heavy, and he soon fell into a dream.

“Little Zhou, Zhou Zhou!”

A familiar, low male voice sounded in his mind. Zhou Zhou suddenly woke up, breathing heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and even the shirt on his back became wet.

The surroundings were still pitch black. He raised his hand and was about to turn on the light brain to check the time when the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside, causing him to stop.

He held his breath, his heart skipped a beat. Although the sound of stepping on dead branches wasn’t loud, it was enough for him to know that an unknown creature outside the tree hole was gradually approaching him.

Zhou Zhou didn’t dare to move his body, for fear of making a noise. He could only stare at the entrance of the tree hole, trying to see clearly what the creature outside was through the gaps in the branches.

The “whooshing” sound became more and more obvious. A pair of green animal eyes flashed in Zhou Zhou’s eyes. Realizing that the beast outside was not small, Zhou Zhou only felt his scalp tingle, his back oozing with chills, and even his arms were covered in goosebumps.

He prayed in his heart that the beast would not be able to enter the narrow tree hole, and his hands unconsciously hugged his knees tightly, the fear and helplessness in his eyes hidden by the darkness.

Pei Yanlie, should I leave a last word for you?

Forget it, a last word will only make him live in pain.

However, time can heal everything, including heartbreak.

Thinking that after his death, Pei Yanlie would be loving with other men… or perhaps women, doing the intimate things that couples should do, he felt a breath stuck in his chest, unable to come up.

Zhou Zhou, even before he dies, he has to be jealous for no reason. Does he have to be so miserable?

“Whirr.”

The branches rustled, seemingly being fiddled with by the beast’s claws.

Zhou Zhou’s thoughts were interrupted, his whole body tensed up, his emotions highly nervous. He could do nothing but hug himself, give himself a sense of security.

The beast’s breathing became louder and louder, and the movements of fiddling with the branches were very rough. Soon, the outermost layer of branches fell down, and a ray of light shone into Zhou Zhou’s eyes through the gaps in the branches.

His eyes met those animal eyes as big as fists, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, his mind screaming to escape.

It’s over! The heavens want me dead!

The beast let out a low growl, and the stench of its breath sprayed into the tree hole. Even though Zhou Zhou quickly covered his nose and mouth, he couldn’t help but gag.

Hearing the sound, the beast’s low growl was continuous. Two sharp claws pushed aside the branches, and the huge head completely blocked the entrance of the hole. Zhou Zhou desperately shrank back, but his back was against the solid tree trunk, and there was nowhere to retreat.

Fortunately, the beast’s head was too big to squeeze in. In order to prevent being bumped by the beast’s fangs, Zhou Zhou turned on the lights, and the beast’s face became clear.

“Holy shit!”

Zhou Zhou exclaimed, his face under the light was pale, as if he was about to ascend to heaven.

The king of the forest, the tiger, which had been extinct for hundreds of years, actually appeared on Tenghu Planet!

“Beep beep beep.”

The light brain suddenly popped up a one-way video call marked with the highest military secrecy. Without guessing, he knew who was calling.

Zhou Zhou clicked to answer, and when he saw the haggard but still handsome face on the virtual screen, he forced a smile that looked more like crying and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m content to be able to see you one last time before I die.”

Pei Yanlie reached out his finger to touch the person inside the screen and said in a deep voice, “Little Zhou, how long are you going to sleep? Open your eyes and look at me.”
