Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Brother Dong (Three More, Please Subscribe)

Yang Xiao held a sword and sliced open the sand worm, removing its skin and began to eat its flesh.

Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and the other girls felt queasy watching Yang Xiao eat the sand worm raw and sat on the other side, taking out their dried meat and fish to eat.

The three Giant Eagles, however, showed great interest in the sand worm’s flesh and circled around Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao cut off a few pieces of meat with his sword and threw them to the Giant Eagles, who immediately began tearing and feasting happily.

"Do you want some?"

Yang Xiao asked Gong Yu.

Gong Yu laughed and said:

"Since watching you eat is pretty boring, I might as well join you."

Yang Xiao quickly said:

"Don’t force yourself, I can eat alone, don’t waste the resources."

Gong Yu laughed heartily, grabbed another sand worm, and started eating as well—the two meat grinders commenced a meat-eating contest, devouring frenziedly.

"Is it cold in the desert at night? How do we get through it?"

Gong Yu paused, then said:

"I’ve never felt cold, just sleeping casually on the sand."

Yang Xiao suddenly remembered that Gong Yu’s Four Attributes had evolved past 50 points, naturally he would not be afraid of the cold. Yang Xiao now also didn’t need to fear the temperature, but Huang Wen and the others with lower levels of Genetic Evolution might feel cold. Fortunately, they were wearing Snow Wolf Armor, so staying warm at night should not be an issue.

"There’s a small grove nearby, if you’re afraid of the cold, you can chop some branches and make a campfire at night."

"There are woods here?"

Yang Xiao was surprised, looking at Gong Yu.

"Mhm, the desert environment has changed a lot now. It’s different from the desert you remember. There are rivers, grasslands, and the windbreak forests that were planted before, as well as shrubs. In short, the desert is starting to evolve in the direction of an oasis. If you have time, just walk around and see for yourself."

"Alright, even if what you’re saying is true..."

Yang Xiao turned his head and shouted to Huang Wen and the others:

"Huang Wen, Gong Yu says there’s a grove nearby, should we chop some branches for a campfire to stay warm tonight?"

After a brief discussion, Huang Wen and the others nodded their heads. It’s better to be safe than sorry, especially since it’s their first time spending the night in this strange desert.

Among the many people in the desert, Huang Wen and her group had some of the lowest levels of Genetic Evolution.

Guided by Gong Yu, Yang Xiao led Huang Wen and the others to a nearby small grove, directly chopped down a few large trees, and dragged them over. Huang Wen and the others then chopped the branches one by one, piling them up for the campfire later that evening.

The sand worm was over forty meters long; Yang Xiao and Gong Yu each consumed one as if they were eating sausages.

Despite the ungainly eating, Yang Xiao was quite happy having had honey earlier, and was now feasting on the sand worm. Bursts of electricity generated in his body, and the Genetic Attribute System in his mind vibrated again, prompting an increase in one attribute value.

Without considering equipment or weapons, Yang Xiao’s Four Attributes were currently:

Strength 31, Agility 31, Defense 31, Wisdom 30.

Yang Xiao chose to increase Agility by 1 point.

As night gradually fell, people nearby began to retract towards the Genetic Store base’s orange protective glow.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. Yang Xiao found it familiar and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

"No need to listen anymore, it’s Liu Yiyi coming back. In this area, only she has that unique Flame Horse."

"But aren’t the Flame Horse’s four hooves supposed to be off the ground? How come there’s the sound of horse hooves?"

Gong Yu laughed and said:

"That Sweat Blood Flame Horse is quite special. Normally it can run just fine, but when it needs to speed up, flames and auspicious clouds will burst forth from its hooves, allowing it to run more than twice as fast."

"Ah!"

Yang Xiao had just exclaimed when he saw a red cloud fluttering over; indeed, it was Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi was followed by five people, three men, and two women. The three men were all handsome and tall, while the two girls were also beautiful and charming, with body, temperament, and looks that could compete with Qin Yu.

Among them, a young man had an exceptionally strong presence. All along his way, he didn’t so much as glance at the people nearby, whereas many nodded and greeted him:

"Brother Dong!"

"Hello, Brother Dong!"

"Brother Dong!"

...

Gong Yu only spared a glance at the young man in the distance before turning his attention elsewhere.

Yang Xiao, however, was curious and took a second look before saying:

"The young man they call Brother Dong is your love rival, isn’t he?"

Upon hearing the words ’love rival,’ Gong Yu seemed to be struck by something and immediately retorted to Yang Xiao:

"Nonsense, what love rival? Ridiculous. I, Gong Yu, am too proud to compete with others for a woman."

Gong Yu desperately tried to portray his high-mindedness, but his flustered demeanor betrayed him.

Truly, one thing can subdue another!

Gong Yu, so aloof, couldn’t step out of Liu Yiyi’s emotional circle and held an extraordinary affection for her.

Liu Yiyi, atop the Sweat Blood Flame Horse, saw Gong Yu and revealed a hint of coldness in her eyes. Dismounting the horse, she approached Gong Yu.

"Hey, Gong Yu, when did you start eating sandworms? Tastes good? Not even dogs would eat those things. We killed over a dozen wolves today and brought two back. I’ll cut you a wolfs leg later."

Suddenly, Yang Xiao realized it wasn’t just Gong Yu and Liu Yiyi who were natural enemies but rather that he was fated to clash with Liu Yiyi—damn, shot while lying down for the second time today.

Yang Xiao immediately jumped up,

"You filthy woman, what are you talking about? What do you mean sandworms not fit for dogs? Don’t you see I’m eating right now? Disgusting, aren’t you?"

Yang Xiao proudly spoke, waving a piece of sandworm meat in front of Liu Yiyi with his left hand, while his right hand held a sword, which he used to cut the sandworm meat—a blade covered in fresh blood.

Liu Yiyi’s eyes suddenly widened as she looked at Yang Xiao, her face frosty and her body trembling slightly.

She was Liu Yiyi, after all—when had anyone ever dared to curse at her? And now she was being called a stinking woman.

Since the apocalypse, Liu Yiyi had relied on her good talent for Genetic Evolution at a remarkable pace, plus her boyfriend was Xie Dong, a famous figure at Magic City University. Most people were very respectful when they saw her—who would dare to seek death by cursing at her?

Xie Dong’s Genetic Plan was also well-recognized at Magic City University, and he was the Great Captain commanding a hundred-strong team.

"You’re cursing at me?"

Liu Yiyi was shaking with anger, her teeth clenched as she stared at Yang Xiao.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Huang Wen and the others immediately rushed over, standing behind Yang Xiao.

Gong Yu quickly stood in front of Yang Xiao and said to Liu Yiyi:

"Yiyi, he is my friend. Your words are too casual. I may overlook them, but others certainly can’t accept what you said."

Although Gong Yu and Liu Yiyi were not lovers, they had always been good friends since middle school, with a rather ambiguous relationship. Gong Yu had also significantly helped Liu Yiyi in the past, and they were used to bickering. Gong Yu consistently gave in to Liu Yiyi, which inadvertently fostered Liu Yiyi’s somewhat arrogant character in front of him, even taking advantage of Gong Yu’s affection for her, presumably to bully him.
