Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint

Chapter 451 - 274: Secrets (Part 2)

The Black Mist Man remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh and said:

"There are far too many big secrets in here. At the same time, this is the root of our Demon Race, our home. Here lies the hope of achieving eternity.

Regardless of the cost, we have to come back."

Wang Hao blinked.

Achieving eternity?

What the heck?

Immortality?

The Black Mist Man didn’t say much more; he himself probably wasn’t too sure either.

Standing there, motionless, just like he was dead.

"It seems this continent is far more mysterious than I imagined."

Wang Hao couldn’t help but scratch his chin.

Even with Earth, humanity is still only partially understanding it today.

There’s even still a debate over whether it’s round or a flat surface.

What’s beneath the ground?

How to explain those mysterious phenomena?

And then there are some forbidden zones...

These were just from before the apocalypse. Now, with the influx of Spiritual Qi from the Demon Realm, who knows how many divine and strange things are appearing.

"Really gives me a headache!"

Wang Hao reached up and rubbed his head.

Instead of feeling excited because his life would be very interesting from now on,

he felt a great headache.

He only wants to lie down safely in one place, eat, drink, sleep with women, and enjoy life.

Just to be a happy, laid-back slacker.

With all these happenings, he is bound to be drawn into various dangers in the future.

Who knows, he might slip up one day and be done for.

....

On the couch,

Wang Hao and Xiaoyueyue were sitting close, watching TV shows.

Wang Hao was peeling an orange as he casually said,

"Yueyue, in a couple of days, we should head home."

"Huh? So soon?"

Xiaoyueyue’s reaction was a bit unexpected for Wang Hao.

She used to be very happy and eager when hearing about going home.

Why is she a bit reluctant this time?

"Hehe, it’s too comfortable here and also lots of fun."

Seemingly noticing Wang Hao’s puzzlement, Xiaoyueyue giggled and said,

"Plus, here, Brother belongs only to me. He won’t sneak out every night to hook up with Sister Yaoyao and the others."

"Uh... ’hook up’ isn’t appropriate here."

Wang Hao was at a loss for words.

This made it sound like he and Sun Yaoyao and the others were just friends with benefits!

They had feelings, okay?

Wait?

Hold on!

Wang Hao suddenly frowned.

He and Sun Yaoyao, and Chen Tingting, especially Chen Tingting, really seemed more like friends with benefits.

Sleeping with Chen Tingting was only to avoid drawing Sister Qin’s suspicions.

Plus, Chen Tingting was also quite beautiful, so it just happened naturally.

They didn’t even know each other before.

There was no talk of feelings.

Mainly because Chen Tingting was a first-timer, along with her high beauty, that’s why he took her to the room.

Otherwise, there was no difference from Tang Xueyi and the others.

Sun Yaoyao was a bit better, at least they had known each other for a little while.

Plus, she was cute, coy, and acted endearingly; they somewhat had the feeling of romance.

But not much more than that.

The time they’d known each other was too short, and they were with him because of his power, his resources.

"That’s about it! And with the snow being so big now, it’s not very suitable for traveling! How about we wait until the snow stops before leaving?"

Xiaoyueyue coquettishly said to Wang Hao.

"Well..."

Wang Hao hesitated a bit.

"Pretty please,"

Xiaoyueyue continued pleading.

"Alright, alright, let’s stay a few more days."

Wang Hao couldn’t help but agree.

Staying a few more days indeed didn’t matter much.

Besides, the negotiation over the Corpse Poison Serum can’t be resolved in a short time either.

Now that the great purging of corpses is over,

with winter setting in globally, monsters aren’t as active as before.

At the gathering place, they are strong militarily, not only with various powerful superpower users but also plenty of crystal stone weapons, as well as tanks, cannons, and other heavy weapons dragged over from the military district.

There shouldn’t be any great danger.

Staying here, he could nurture his relationship with Chen Lingxue,

then later take her along to the gathering place after she’s done with her tasks.

As long as she agrees to go, she won’t escape from his grasp.

"Master! Xu Xiang seeks an audience."

"Oh? Let him in then."

Wang Hao was a bit surprised.

These people worked pretty fast; Xu Xiang had already returned.

"Brother Hao!"

Xu Xiang walked in, dust-ridden, greeting Wang Hao with a smile.

"Have some tea? Just got back, right?"

Wang Hao glanced toward Xiaoyueyue.

Xiaoyueyue picked up the teapot and poured Xu Xiang a cup of hot tea.

"Wasn’t it! The snow is falling so heavily,"

Xu Xiang took a sip of tea and lamented,

"Luckily, Lingxue’s place is nearby; if I had to schlep stuff to my place, it’d be exhausting."

"Did you bring all the stuff back?"

"Not quite, this is just the first batch; there should be another one coming, and then some odds and ends, equipment, and such."

Xu Xiang took another sip of the hot tea, feeling quite happy,

"But I won’t need to escort those; I can leave that to Chen Bin and the others."

"How is it? Did you score a big haul this time?"

Wang Hao said with a smile.

In the secret base, supplies are still very abundant. Although he had already swooped up the most valuable batch, the rest was still thrilling enough.

In the early days of the apocalypse, many things were in severe shortage.

"Indeed, there are plenty of supplies, part of it probably stored before the apocalypse, and another part perhaps sourced from various gathering points around."
