Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

After Su Mu agreed, he left with An Xin, and Yu Yao followed him back to the cabin.

Watching Su Mu depart, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but mutter, "He was on this ship too, so why should he get all the domain fragments?"

"He protected you too." Song Weiwei turned to look at him after hearing his words.

"But this is our ship," Zhang Yuan said, seemingly unconvinced.

"But Ling Hao and the others have already provided supplies to cover the fare." Song Weiwei's eyes flashed with displeasure, and she added, "Besides, do you think you and I alone can kill a Lord-level monster?"

"Even if they take it all, that's their own business."

"What does this have to do with us?"

Zhang Yuan's expression changed upon hearing this, but he didn't say anything more.

Song Weiwei looked at him and continued, "Go back and rest."

"Ling Hao and I are on night duty here tonight."

"Hmm." Zhang Yuan paused for a moment, nodded, and then left.

Cheng Jun chatted with Ling Hao for a few minutes, then took Yao Zhe back to the cabin.

In just a moment, only Ling Hao and Song Weiwei remained.

Ling Hao walked to the wheelhouse. "I'll take the helm."

"Okay." Song Weiwei gave up her seat, but did not leave.

"I heard what you and Zhang Yuan were saying just now," Ling Hao said slowly after a moment's thought. "I understand how you feel."

"But Zhang Yuan's words were indeed somewhat unethical."

"I understand." Song Weiwei's expression was a little unpleasant. "Perhaps he's too eager to become a Xuan-rank Transcendent."

"Given his temperament," Ling Hao said calmly, "who knows how arrogant he'll become once he reaches the Xuan-level Transcendent Realm."

At this point, he turned to look at Song Weiwei, "Weiwei, I still stand by what I said."

"If you'd like, our team will welcome you anytime."

"We'll see," Song Weiwei sighed softly. "After all, I'm the captain of our team."

"What will happen to them if we just leave like this?"

"Then after we leave Qingluo Sea," Ling Hao said after some thought, "let's continue our journey together."

"That way, we can have someone to look after us."

"Hmm." Song Weiwei responded, then, as if remembering something, looked at Ling Hao and said with some envy, "Your team is really harmonious."

"Everyone chatted, laughed, and played around together."

"That just means we were lucky," Ling Hao said with a smile. "We met people who were just like us."

Song Weiwei nodded and sighed, "In this kind of world, it's really not easy to have a group of friends by your side."

The next afternoon

The rain was still falling, but it had lessened considerably.

Cheng Jun and Yao Zhe arrived at Su Mu's place. "Want to go out for a walk?"

"No, thank you." Su Mu shook his head. "You guys go ahead. If you find anything, come back and tell me."

"Alright." Cheng Jun replied, and after taking two steps with Yao Zhe, Su Mu heard Yu Yao's voice from outside, "I'll go with you."

"What are you doing, a young lady like you, following us around like this?" Cheng Jun said.

"I'm happy to do it, it's none of your business," Yu Yao snorted.

"It's none of your business." Cheng Jun shook his head. "Then you can come if you want."

"Hmph." A hint of smugness flashed in Yu Yao's eyes as she happily followed Cheng Jun away from there.

Ling Hao poked his head out of the room and called out to the three of them as they walked away, "There might be danger on the island, be careful."

"Okay." Cheng Jun and the other two replied, waving their hands behind their backs to him.

Su Mu's room

An Xin looked at him. "Why don't you want to go on the island adventure with them?"

"It's raining," Su Mu explained. "If we go wandering around in that jungle, we'll get soaked."

"Oh." An Xin nodded and said with a smile, "I thought you were worried about me."

"That's part of the reason," Su Mu said, then, as if remembering something, added, "How about I have Zhu Meng take us fishing in the surrounding waters after the rain stops?"

"Are there any fish around here?" An Xin's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked.

"Of course there are, quite a few." Su Mu nodded. "I saw fishing nets at the stern."

"Then we'll use nets to catch fish."

"Okay, okay!" An Xin quickly agreed, then said, "How about we grill the fish after we catch it?"

"Sure," Su Mu said with a smile. "If you want it spicy, just tear open a packet of spicy instant noodles and use the seasoning packet inside."

"Mmm." An Xin smiled happily, "You're making my mouth water just talking about it."

While the two were chatting, Cheng Jun and the other two had already disembarked and arrived at the beach, heading towards the woods not far away.

"Hey, Chengjun," Yu Yao said, following beside Chengjun. "Where are we going?"

"Let's go take a look at that hilltop," Cheng Jun pointed, "Let's see how big the island is and what's on it."

"What are you looking for?" Yu Yao couldn't help but ask again.

"Everyone says there are wild fruits on the island," Cheng Jun grinned. "So I want to see if there are any. If there are, then we'll be in for a treat."

"That's true." Yu Yao suddenly realized, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful despite your size."

"Unlike that guy Su Mu, who always only thinks about himself."

"Su Mu is a really nice guy." Cheng Jun seemed a little displeased when she mentioned Su Mu. "We get along very well."

"Alright, alright, if you say it's good, then it's good." Yu Yao glanced at Cheng Jun, but surprisingly didn't argue with him about the matter.

This surprised Cheng Jun, and he couldn't help but take another look at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yu Yao smiled faintly, asking a question she already knew the answer to.

"You seem a little different than before." Cheng Jun thought for a moment. "If I had said that before, you would definitely have retorted."

"What, are you being unreasonable?" Yu Yao rolled her eyes at him. "You're not comfortable unless I tease you."

"No, not at all." Cheng Jun chuckled. "It's just that I'm not used to you suddenly becoming so knowledgeable and reasonable."

"Am I really that worthless in your eyes?" Yu Yao glanced at him, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

"No, no," Cheng Jun quickly waved his hand. "You're great, you're great!"

Yao Zhe followed behind the two, glancing at Cheng Jun and then at Yu Yao. Suddenly, he felt somewhat superfluous, like a walking telephone pole.

About ten minutes later

The three arrived at the hill that Cheng Jun had mentioned earlier. They looked around and discovered that the island was extremely large, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Although it was still raining, it was now a light drizzle, and there was no fog; visibility was about five or six miles. But apart from the beach to the north, there was no end in sight to the east, west, or south; as far as the eye could see, it was all a vast sea of ​​forest.

"I didn't expect this island to be so big," Cheng Jun remarked. "Does that mean the chances of finding wild fruit are also much higher?"

"Isn't that it?" Yu Yao said, pointing to the foot of the mountain. "There seem to be quite a few."

"These look like wild apples." Cheng Jun took a closer look, and his eyes lit up. "Let's go pick some."

"There seems to be some gray fog over there, be careful," Yuyao quickly warned after noticing something.
