Cannon fodder in the Interstellar

After gathering the information she wanted from Liu Yang, Ruo Manni felt a mix of emotions, and her mind was in turmoil.

The series of unexpected events today had left her no time to properly organize her thoughts. The matter with charging her phone was a way to get Hebrew Adam to leave her alone for a while, so she could be by herself and think.

Ruo Manni turned her head to look at the rapidly passing scenery outside the window, preparing to start thinking about the situation from the beginning.

With all her confusion, Hebrew Adam, of course, didn’t want to leave her side. He entrusted the task to Tamaki Kazia to handle, and returned to her, taking her hand.

Ruo Manni turned back, meeting Hebrew Adam’s dark expression as he looked at her with determination in his eyes, as if wanting to know the answer.

Her companions weren’t fools. From the moment she started talking to Liu Yang, each of them had likely sensed that there was more to this situation than it appeared.

Ruo Manni glanced over to the small living area, where Hua Deli and Mina-Olli were also watching her with concern. Especially Hua Deli, whose eyes were filled with deep worry.

“There’s something very strange that happened to me. My memories and understanding of this world are all part of that strange event. Even I’m not sure how it happened. I want to follow the clues to find someone. If I can find her, many things will be clarified. At that time, I’ll explain everything to you in detail,” Ruo Manni said, her voice tinged with frustration.

If it were just Hebrew Adam with her, Ruo Manni might have shared a bit more with him.

But the relationship between Hua Deli and Dean Atchison was too complicated. Ruo Manni hoped that the reality wasn’t what she suspected, because if it was, that would be truly disastrous.

“Alright!” Hebrew Adam finally spoke after a long pause.

Hebrew Adam was forced to say this. He desperately wanted to know what secrets Ruo Manni was hiding.

Since arriving in this world, Ruo Manni’s actions and expressions had become increasingly difficult to understand, as if she had become a completely different person.

Hebrew Adam even had the illusion that Ruo Manni actually belonged to this world, which only deepened his unease.

The feeling that Ruo Manni had a deep secret she wasn’t willing to share with him was unbearable.

However, when he asked again, she still refused to tell him. All he could do was wait for the right moment.

Once the girl got the information she wanted, she stopped talking to him and began speaking softly with her boyfriend, who had returned to her side. Liu Yang obediently kept quiet, staying as silent as a quail.

But as Liu Yang looked out of the window and saw the rapidly passing scenery, his eyes widened in surprise.

After the apocalypse, this area had experienced four or five earthquakes. Although the earthquakes weren’t very strong and didn’t cause much damage to the base, the roads in this area had become somewhat uneven.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how good the RV’s performance was, traveling at such a fast speed, the passengers should have felt some bumps.

But the RV was extremely stable inside, as smooth as if it were driving on flat ground.

If it weren’t for the reference points outside the window, Liu Yang would never have believed that the vehicle was moving so fast.

The performance of this vehicle was beyond anything he had ever seen. There was no way that China could produce such high-performance cars.

While in a daze, Liu Yang noticed that Wang Miaomiao moved slightly and then saw her open her eyes…

Wang Miaomiao looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, her mind blank for two seconds. Only one thought crossed her mind: Who am I? Where am I?

Then Wang Miaomiao heard Liu Yang call her name: “Miaomiao, you’re awake. How do you feel now?”

Liu Yang’s voice seemed to unlock something in her, and the memories from before she lost consciousness immediately flooded back into Wang Miaomiao’s mind. She remembered being bitten by a zombie on her shoulder. Their group didn’t have an antidote, and she thought she would never wake up after passing out. But unexpectedly, she hadn’t died…

“I didn’t die? How did you save me? Where is this?” Wang Miaomiao tried to sit up, but the pain in her thigh made her lie back down again.

“Be careful, your thigh is fractured,” Liu Yang carefully helped her sit up.

Once Wang Miaomiao was sitting up, she saw in front of her a young man and woman sitting across from her. They were both looking at her, and she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

“It was this lady who saved you and me. After you passed out, a mutated wolfdog flipped our car. If it weren’t for this lady and her companions killing the mutated wolfdog, we probably would have ended up in its stomach,” Liu Yang said, and his last sentence was not a joke.

“The toxins in your body were also cleared by this lady, and she brought us to her car so you could rest. She said she knew Lin Kexin and that she was helping us because of her connection with you.”

After hearing Liu Yang, Wang Miaomiao looked at Ruo Manni and, feeling very grateful, said, “Thank you for saving us.”

“We only helped a little,” Ruo Manni replied in a calm tone.

But Liu Yang noticed that when the girl spoke to Miaomiao, her expression was very gentle, and the way she looked at Miaomiao was not like how one would look at a stranger.

However, based on Miaomiao’s reaction, she seemed very unfamiliar with this girl. A girl so strikingly unique, Miaomiao definitely wouldn’t have forgotten her if they had met before.

“They’re really amazing. They killed those mutated dogs with just two or three strikes,” Liu Yang said, clearly in admiration.

Wang Miaomiao also looked at the beautiful and unique girl in front of her with admiration. She knew how terrifying the mutated dogs were, but this girl had easily slain them with a sword. Wang Miaomiao could roughly gauge how high the girl’s combat abilities must be.

“I can’t thank you enough. Liu Yang and I have nothing of value, and I really don’t know how to repay you,” Wang Miaomiao said, genuinely at a loss for how to express her gratitude.

“Your boyfriend has already agreed on how to repay us,” Ruo Manni said.

Liu Yang quietly relayed the terms they had discussed earlier to Wang Miaomiao, and her eyes widened in surprise. “Is this how you’re repaying us? This is taking advantage of us!”

“What can we do? They just need us to do this, so we have to go along with it,” Liu Yang said with a helpless smile.

Wang Miaomiao immediately understood Liu Yang’s meaning. These people were so powerful that he couldn’t even think of a way to repay them. The only option was to do whatever they asked, and in this case, it was still to their advantage.

Wang Miaomiao didn’t know how to respond. Thinking about Liu Yang saying that this girl had saved them because of Lin Kexin, she curiously asked, “I don’t know what your relationship with Lin Kexin is. Are you her cousin or something?”

Wang Miaomiao thought the girl resembled Lin Kexin a little, which led her to this guess. However, she had never heard about this girl from Lin Kexin.

“My name is Ruo Manni. As for my relationship with Lin Kexin, to be honest, I still don’t fully understand it myself. We’ll figure it out when we find her,” Ruo Manni replied.

At that moment, Tamaki Kazia handed Ruo Manni a phone. She took it and saw Wang Miaomiao staring at the phone in disbelief, so she handed it over to Wang Miaomiao, saying, “Unlock it.”
