Chapter 406 The Predator Trapping Plan (5)
After leaving the man's room, Yan Zhen dodged and weaved, pretending and acting, spending most of the night until dawn when he ignited the red-light district's energy supply station, blowing up half the maze, before he and Shen Rong finally escaped.
They stole an SUV parked on the side of the road and sped away from the red-light district.
Shen Rong was driving, and Yan Zhen was sitting in the passenger seat. Through the windshield and sunroof, she looked up at the dark sky.
The vast sky above her head revealed giant spheres of other planets seemingly within arm's reach, and the overwhelming sense of oppression made it hard for her to breathe.
The road conditions outside the car were terrible, with strong winds and sandstorms everywhere. The air inside the car was dry and made my nose uncomfortable, and every breath I took seemed to be filled with dust particles.
No wonder that man with the erection was wearing a gas mask.
Yan Zhen carefully recalled the timeline. When she arrived at this point, planet N613 was gradually collapsing inward, and the climate and environment had become extremely harsh.
Those who could run away did, and those who couldn't, even if they didn't die in the planet's disintegration, would die from diseases caused by the extreme environment while struggling to survive.
The SUV sped off for quite a distance, finally shaking off the guards chasing after them from the red-light district.
Shen Rong seemed to have reached his limit, and the car gradually slowed down.
Yan Zhen noticed her unusual behavior: "Are you injured?"
Shen Rong nodded, one hand on the steering wheel and the other pulling open her guard uniform. She had been shot in the abdomen, and blood was streaming down her hand.
Yan Zhencai didn't notice it immediately because the guard uniform was black.
"Stop the car, I'll drive."
Shen Rong didn't try to be brave; she switched places with Yan Zhen and sat in the passenger seat.
Yan Zhen drove off again: "Where are we going now?"
"Go to Area C."
Guided by Shen Rong, the two drove for more than two hours and arrived at what she called "Area C".
After getting out of the car, Yan Zhen was stunned.
Before them lay a gigantic junkyard, piled high with various spaceship and fighter jet wrecks and discarded steel parts, stretching for thousands of meters and seemingly endless.
Standing in front of the garbage heap, it was as if one were standing at the feet of a giant metal beast.
Shen Rong got out of the car clutching her stomach. Seeing Yan Zhen's shocked expression, she said, "There's nothing to be surprised about. N613 is a garbage planet. This kind of metallic waste covers a third of N613's area—let's go."
Shen Rong took the lead and led Yan Zhen into the garbage dump, weaving through the gaps between the scrap metal.
Entering the junkyard, Yan Zhen felt as if he had entered a metallic forest. He was standing on the wreckage of a spaceship, with the massive propellers of fighter jets overhead. After climbing and leaping for half an hour, he finally reached his destination.
A "house" converted from spaceship wreckage.
Upon entering the "house," Shen Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lying on the moldy cot, her face was eerily pale.
Yan Zhen took the gun he had snatched from the guard and wandered around the wreckage of the spaceship.
The wreckage of the spaceship was large, but it had clearly been uninhabited for a long time. It was covered in dust, the generator was broken, and the water stored in the corner had gone bad.
Yan Zhen found a few cans in a locker, but when she opened them, the stench that hit her almost made her vomit.
All the food in the wreckage had gone bad, but thankfully the clothes hadn't rotted yet.
Yan Zhen found a men's T-shirt and a pair of shorts, squatted down in front of the cot, and reached out to take off Shen Rong's clothes.
But the moment her hand touched Shen Rong, Shen Rong abruptly opened his eyes, instinctively adopting a defensive posture, his eyes filled with wariness: "What are you doing?"
"I'll treat your wound," Yan Zhen said. "You also need to change out of these clothes; keeping them on will hinder the wound's healing."
Shen Rong hesitated.
"The bullet needs to be removed, and the bleeding needs to be stopped, otherwise you'll either die from excessive blood loss or from wound infection," Yan Zhen said. "You went through all that trouble to escape the red-light district, you didn't come here just to die somewhere else, did you?"
Shen Rong said, "But there is no medicine here."
"I'll go out and look for something later. Let's stop your bleeding first."
Shen Rong then let go of Yan Zhen's hand, allowing him to help her take off her guard uniform.
Thanks to his experience as a doctor in other worlds, Yan Zhen quickly used the torn strips of cloth to stop the bleeding from Shen Rong's wound.
After resting for a while, she said to the exhausted Shen Rong, "I'm going out to look for something to eat nearby. You close the cabin door and wait for me to come back. I will use three long knocks followed by one short knock as a signal. If the signal doesn't match, don't open the door."
Shen Rong nodded and cautioned, "There are many strange creatures in the garbage dump. They are very aggressive, so please be careful."
"it is good."
Yan Zhen buttoned up his guard uniform, put on a face mask, and went out with his gun on his back.
As she walked through the steel forest, all around was quiet. Yan Zhen could sense countless eyes secretly watching her from corners she couldn't see.
But since those creatures, whether human or alien, did not appear to launch an attack, Yan Zhen pretended not to know and continued rummaging through the trash.
If you encounter a spaceship or fighter jet that doesn't look too dilapidated, break the window and go inside to search it. If you find anything useful, collect it and put it in your backpack.
She searched for a full eight hours and found two packs of unfinished cigarettes, a windproof lighter, two cans of meat, and a tattered radiation-proof umbrella.
As it was getting dark, Yan Zhen worried that the danger of being outside at night would increase, so he zipped up his backpack and returned the way he came.
After walking a short distance, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the side. A man with tattered clothes, greasy and tangled hair, and as thin as a rake blocked her way.
"Leave the bag behind." The man held a sharpened iron fork in his hand, the pointed end aimed at her. His eyes kept glancing at the bag on her back, and he even swallowed hard.
Looking at this starving, beast-like man, Yan Zhen frowned, pulled out his gun, and said, "Get lost."
The man hesitated for a moment, ultimately not daring to confront firearms head-on, and moved aside to make way.
Yan Zhen walked over quickly.
But just as she passed the man, she heard a whooshing sound behind her.
The moment she turned around, she swiftly pulled the trigger, striking the man who had attacked her squarely between the eyebrows.
With a "bang," blood splattered from the back of the man's head, and he fell to the ground with his eyes open, unwilling to accept his fate.
Yan Zhen ignored the man's lifeless body, snatched the iron fork of unknown material from his hand, and continued on his way.
After walking for half an hour, a sudden gust of wind arose overhead, and the sounds of the spaceship approached from afar.
Yan Zhen looked up and saw a huge spaceship fly overhead, the commotion alerting the people and aliens hiding in the garbage forest.
In an instant, the once quiet forest became restless, and countless people and aliens, disregarding the risk of revealing their presence, rushed towards the direction of the spaceship.
Yan Zhen was taken aback, then realized that the spaceship was there to dump garbage, and that the people and aliens were rushing in that direction to grab the first "fresh garbage".
Yan Zhen weighed her pitifully empty backpack in her hand. How could she miss out on such a good thing!
She took off after him.
