The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 57 Preparation
Wang Haisheng left. Before leaving, he used a stone to cover up all the scratches. Then he stood on a low hill and pointed to a group of houses in the town, indicating that Huo Ying should live there.

Watching Wang Haisheng leave, Huo Ying saw that Wang Haisheng, who had previously looked sloppy and depressed, now looked a little more energetic.

Are there really such scary things in this small town?

Huo Ying thought of the monster that he had sealed in the mirror. Although that thing was strong, it was not the same as Wang Haisheng described. It was just a monster and did not care about the truth in the factory or whether he had lost his memory.

What Wang Haisheng said made Huo Ying feel cold in his heart. He knew that Wang Haisheng was referring to one person.

Starting the robotic arm, Huo Ying smashed the huge stone with the words on it into pieces, completely erasing all traces. He then returned to the town with trepidation. The joy of getting the Yang Dao was diluted, and Huo Ying felt that he had more things to worry about.

After entering the house, Liang Yao hurried over and grabbed Huo Ying's hand immediately.

After a long time, Liang Yao let go and then sensed her body.

"It's okay. I didn't feel anything this time. Today, you are not infected."

Liang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and a smile returned to her face. She had been worried before Huo Ying came in.

"That's good. Tomorrow night is the day when the zombies will riot. We have to prepare for it. We should not go out yet. Let's wait until everything is over."

The helmet hid Huo Ying's expression. He had been observing Liang Yao since he entered the room. Liang Yao's worry did not seem fake. Moreover, once the infection was purified, Liang Yao's body would be tortured by the side effects of the ability. But every time she purified herself, Liang Yao was very active and did not worry at all that the purification and infection were too many times, her body would have other changes, or the infection would break out prematurely.

If Liang Yao wasn't Sister Bai's man, and Wang Haisheng and I suddenly left...

Huo Ying's eyes gradually turned cold. No, this was the end of the world. If Liang Yao was really good to him, then after knowing the truth, if the protection of the sacred tree was enough to withstand it, he would come back to pick up Liang Yao.

If the risk of death is too great, there is no other way but to give up Liang Yao.

I am so selfish.

Meeting Liang Yao's concerned gaze, Huo Ying suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Forget it. If I really do this, it will make my mind confused. What's more, Liang Yao's ability is too useful and I can't lose her.

Huo Ying decided that when the courier came, he would not tell Liang Yao about her leaving and would take Liang Yao away directly. In this way, he would be watching her, and even if Liang Yao was not sincere to him, she would not be able to tell on him.

Thinking of this, Huo Ying felt a little more comfortable. As expected, the education he received in his previous life was very powerful. Even when faced with a life or death choice, under the subtle education, it was difficult for Huo Ying to give up the last bit of his sense of morality.

Huo Ying and Liang Yao filled the room with yang stones and arranged the poplar wood into several piles in advance so that they could be ignited quickly.

The large wooden box containing the mirror ghost at the door was moved to the basement by Huo Ying, and the direction of the mirror was pointed at the basement door. If it could not be defended, Huo Ying would open the mirror ghost as a trap and lead Liang Yao back to house number two.

Danger was approaching, Huo Ying did not hide and brought Liang Yao into the basement as well.

Basement No. 1 and Basement No. 2 were separated by Huo Ying's earth escape technique, so Liang Yao could only see a part of the supplies. However, this also shocked Liang Yao.

"Well, if there's no zombie riot, I might not have any problem staying at home for a few years..."

Liang Yao covered her chest with her hands, her heart pounding. In the basement, there were boxes filled with charcoal. The poplar wood in this world is very flame resistant. The same quality of charcoal will burn twice as long as poplar wood. With the storage in Basement No. 1, the charcoal is enough to burn for three years.

In addition to charcoal, there are several large wooden barrels in the basement, filled with rice and vegetables.

Vegetables will rot, so not much can be stored, but there are more than several thousand kilograms of rice stored.

Finally, the water purified by charcoal is sealed in large wooden barrels in rows.

"Don't just be surprised, you still have work to do after you come down." Huo Ying picked up a somewhat wilted pepper: "Can your ability purify the food and extend its shelf life?" Liang Yao placed the pepper in the palm of her hand. After a while, the soft and yellow parts of the pepper looked a little lighter, but the pepper was still wilted.

Liang Yao said: "Purification can remove bacteria from vegetables. In other words, if the vegetables have gone bad, I can purify them and they can be eaten, but purification does not have the ability to restore the vegetables."

"Well, that's fine. In doomsday, people will eat even spoiled food, not to mention that you can eliminate the bacteria in it." Liang Yao's importance in Huo Ying's heart increased again. This is simply a doomsday artifact that must be carried around.

This time, Huo Ying did not lock the basement. The two returned to the room. Liang Yao cooked and even fried a few more dishes. Although they were all related to potatoes, the house was still filled with fragrance.

During the meal, Huo Ying was preoccupied and spoke very little. Liang Yao was also silent, somewhat worried about tomorrow's riot.

Looking at Huo Ying who was full of thoughts, Liang Yao blushed several times. Finally, she made up her mind and put down her chopsticks.

"Let's do something. I'm afraid I'll die tomorrow and regret it."

Huo Ying nodded: "You are right. We cooked a lot of dishes tonight and used a lot of bowls and plates. You should clean them all in a while."

Liang Yao stared at Huo Ying, feeling both angry and amused, and accidentally dropped her chopsticks to the ground.

After turning his eyes, Liang Yao bent down to pick up the chopsticks, then knelt on the ground, supported himself with his hands, and crawled under the wooden table.

Huo Ying heard some rustling sounds under the table and subconsciously lowered his head. Liang Yao had crawled to his feet and was looking up at him through the gap with a sly smile.

Huo Ying wanted to get up, but Liang Yao gently hugged his legs and put her body weight on them. Once Huo Ying left, Liang Yao would fall down.

"There's no change in our relationship, I just want to make you happy."

Liang Yao's eyes looked a little empty. She was afraid of being rejected.

Inside the house, a fire crackled, casting shadows on the walls.

Huo Ying's shadow was still sitting there, but the shadow of the table seemed to be getting longer, covering Huo Ying's legs.

The evening breeze blew through the window, caressing the bonfire, the flames swayed, and the shadows on the wall swayed with them.

If you look closely, Huo Ying's shadow doesn't seem to move, but the shadow of the table is resting on Huo Ying's legs, swaying in the light of the fire.

Is the night scary?

If I were alone, maybe.

If it's a man and a woman, maybe not.

After about half an hour, Liang Yao picked up the chopsticks from under the table, climbed up, and started cleaning the table while humming a song.

Huo Ying was still sitting in the chair. He did not feel tired. Instead, his mind became clearer.

He suddenly remembered something that he had overlooked.

Huo Ying and Wang Haisheng were only concerned with going to XN City together when the courier came. However, Wang Haisheng, an infected person, had no combat power. Could he survive the zombie riot?

Huo Ying's heart tightened, but luckily there was still a chance tomorrow during the day. He planned to take Wang Haisheng into basement No. 2 to avoid any accidents.
