Ding~ (v1c3)
It was still dark, and the red moonlight shone down, illuminating the earth. The eerie light made everything look more sinister.
Ye Sheng gasped, then realized what she had seen and took a deep breath. No matter how beautiful the woman buried under the board was, she wouldn’t dare to approach her.
Suddenly, she remembered the stories of female ghosts she had heard; especially in this world, nothing was ordinary.
In the doomsday wasteland, there were all kinds of weird things...
She had barely saved her own life.
She didn’t want to die again.
So, while the woman still had her eyes closed, Ye Sheng held her breath and slowly backed away.
The temperature was slightly chilly, and a cold sweat broke out on her back, making her clothes stick to her body. They were made of rags and felt uncomfortable.
But she couldn't care about anything else right now.
After retreating a dozen steps like a thief, Ye Sheng dared to breathe again. Then she picked up the torch nearby and ran quickly to other areas.
It was then that she realized that there was no one else in the area where she was.
She was the only one who knew what had happened.
When she was sure that she was safe, Ye Sheng stopped and raised her hand to pat her chest, trying to calm her rapid breathing. But she couldn't control her racing heart.
If she had been somewhere else or there had been more people, she wouldn't have been so scared.
Even if it wasn't something weird, a dead person was still scary!
But when people in the safe zone died, they were cremated uniformly, so that their bodies wouldn't be discarded randomly...
Now that she was safe, Ye Sheng should have continued to pick up garbage and earn points to fill her stomach.
But she was distracted and stood still, letting the torch crackle in her hand.
When Ye Sheng was hit and killed by a car in her previous life, she was just a high school student with a harmonious family and little experience. She was still a teenager and had the innocence and courage to face the rough road.
And curiosity.
Before, she had been so scared that she had trembled like a little chicken, but now that her mood had stabilized, she felt a surge of curiosity.
Although she had only glanced at her, the woman's blood-stained face was etched in her mind and couldn't be erased.
She looked young, with long light pink hair spread under her. Even curled up, she could see that she was tall, buxom, and had slim curves.
Her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes were striking. She looked as peaceful as sleeping...
Who was this beautiful woman?
Why was she in the dump?
Was she dead or alive?
Thinking of this, Ye Sheng didn't stay where she was. Instead, she raised her feet and walked around in circles, frustrated. As she spun until she was dizzy, she didn't forget to mutter to herself to warn herself.
"They say curiosity killed the cat, you can't go back!"
This wasn't the world ruled by law that she had been in her previous life!
She only had five nutrient supplements in her hand, and she would starve for the remaining twenty-five days. Why did she have time to meddle in other people's business?
But if she just took a look from a distance, nothing would happen.
She had been in such a hurry just now that she had forgotten that she still had a detector. No matter what she was, she could just scan her with the detector.
And even with the moonlight and the dim firelight, Ye Sheng had seen it!
The pretty woman with her eyes closed was well-dressed.
She wore an expensive super smart network on her wrist!
The super smart network was designed to be portable, and it looked like a watch.
As for functionality?
It was like a combination of all the functions of a mobile phone and a computer. It had various social platforms to publish the latest news, and it could warn the user when the poisonous fog radiation was approaching, so they could avoid being exposed to it.
It was a very useful thing.
But it was also very expensive. It couldn't be purchased without tens of thousands of credit points. Therefore, not many people in the mitigation zone had a super smart network.
Ye Sheng, who had just arrived, didn't know what a super smart network was, but the Zhou family next door was large and prosperous, and they had pooled their resources to buy a super smart network that had passed through many hands.
Although the watch was a bit worn, it still worked fine.
The chatty Zhou Lin had shown off in front of Ye Sheng several times. Even if she didn't take out her watch, Ye Sheng could still tell that it was a super smart network from her detailed verbal description.
It was different from ordinary watches. The most obvious feature was that the dial of the super smart network was shaped like a five-pointed star.
With such a distinctive dial, it couldn't be anything else but a super smart network.
So Ye Sheng hesitated again and again, and finally decided to go back!
She didn't know how lucky she was.
If she didn't find anything good in the garbage dump next time, no matter how unhappy she was, she would have to venture into the wilderness.
The polluted creatures in the wilderness were terrifying, but the poisonous fog radiation was even more deadly!
Even if the beautiful woman's super smart network was unusable, she could still exchange it for a large number of credit points in the swap hall.
That was better than continuing to gamble on her luck in the garbage dump!
The timid would starve to death, and the bold would also starve to death.
She had to fight!
No matter how scared Ye Sheng was, she quickly returned to her original spot. The beautiful woman was still in the same position, with her eyes closed tightly.
Ye Sheng didn't approach her rashly.
Instead, she raised the detector and pointed it at the beautiful woman.
"Beep~ A dying human has been detected!"
Ye Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the word human.
But then she frowned again.
On the brink of death?
Maybe because she heard that the woman was seriously injured, Ye Sheng became more courageous. She held a torch in her hand and got closer, and the orange firelight also lit up the surroundings.
At a glance, apart from the blood stains on her face, there was nothing wrong with the beautiful woman.
But when Ye Sheng gently pulled her with the wood she picked up, she realized something was wrong!
The woman's hands and feet were limp as if her bones had been broken, and after turning her over, her chest was clearly caved in, even through her clothes.
When Ye Sheng got closer, she squatted in front of the woman.
The burning torches made it clearer.
There was a wound on each of the woman's wrists, which was very serious. Although the bleeding had stopped, the flesh and bone were exposed!
The tendons of both her feet were also cut.
This made Ye Sheng drop the wood in her hand in panic. Looking at the face with closed eyes, she felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. She didn't know what had happened to the woman to make her so injured.
But that was not the end. As Ye Sheng's eyes moved upward, she saw another wound on her neck.
It was also very serious, and it looked like her throat had been slit.
She felt so sorry for her.
Tears welled up in Ye Sheng’s eyes as she reached out her trembling hand and gently touched her arm. She confirmed that it was soft because her bones were broken.
Who could have done such a thing?!!
Ye Sheng was filled with sorrow for this beautiful woman who was dying, when suddenly, after she touched her skin, a voice rang in her mind.
[Ding, the lucky draw is successfully bound, and the countdown to the start is 12:00]
