"I really didn't expect that I would transmigrate to the apocalyptic wasteland. Is this another chance from the heavens?”
Mu Liang still couldn't understand that he had actually encountered such a bizarre thing like transmigration.
He had already rested for five days. With Mu Liang's military accomplishments, it was enough for him to gather some basic information.
This world was much larger than Earth, but it was already in ruins. Its civilization had almost fallen to the point of extinction.
The land could not grow food, and thousands of miles were desolate.
There was little rain, and even if there was rain, it was acid rain.
The sky was often covered with dust, and the sun's rays could only occasionally shine on the earth.
"With the current recovery speed, I'll be fine after resting for another day or two.”
Mu Liang moved his arm, and the soreness had already dissipated.
After five days of recuperation, he could gradually use his strength.
Mu Liang opened the door of the wooden shed and peered at the situation outside.
Dusk was setting in the west. There was no green in the desolate land.
"The apocalyptic wasteland world, this is considered a deduction on Earth, but now I've encountered it.”
As an orphan on Earth, Mu Liang didn't have enough money to pay for his university fees, so he joined the army halfway through his studies.
After five years in the special forces, his old injuries relapsed and he had no choice but to retire from the army.
He planned to use what he had learned in the army to become a Short videos creator.
They were just shooting some videos of Man vs. Wild.
Who would have thought that Mu Liang would be so unlucky as to encounter a crack caused by an earthquake?
He had thought that he would die just like that.
However, in the blink of an eye, Mu Liang woke up to find himself lying in the wasteland of an apocalyptic world. His entire body was aching and he could not move.
Fortunately, there was always a way out. A girl disguised as a boy saved him and secretly dragged Mu Liang back to the camp to hide.
Mu Liang sighed helplessly.”
As a stowaway, if he was discovered by the people in the camp, he would have to leave immediately.
According to Mi Nuo, if stowaways were caught, they would be beaten to death in serious cases, while those who were caught would work until they died.
No matter which one it was, it wasn't the result Mu Liang wanted.
Mi Nuo was the woman who had disguised herself as a man and saved Mu Liang when she passed by. She was also the one who had hidden him in her house.
"Kacha ~~"
The sound of a small wooden stick breaking was heard.
Mu Liang immediately snapped out of his thoughts and vigilantly pulled open a gap in the wooden shed to look outside.
A thin and dirty figure was walking toward the wooden shed.
Mu Liang's tense body relaxed. This sneaky figure was Mi Nuo.
Crack…
The leaky wooden door was carefully pushed open.
In the next second, the wooden shed door was instantly closed.
"Ah…Why are you hiding by the door without saying a word?”
Mi Nuo had just closed the door when she turned her head and saw Mu Liang standing right in front of her. She was so frightened that her heart started beating wildly.
"How's the harvest?"
Mu Liang took a step back and leaned against the door as he sat down.
"Mu Liang, you're really amazing. The trap you taught me to make is very useful.”
Mi Nuo was very excited when she mentioned this.
"The number of lizards I caught today is several times more than the ones I caught before.”
"How many?" Mu Liang asked with a light smile.
After spending five days together, he did not expose Mi Nuo's disguise.
"Hehe…you'll definitely be shocked.”
Mi Nuo smiled cheekily and pulled out a small brown lizard the size of two fingers from her cloth bag.
Immediately after, she took out seven small flat lizards and placed them neatly in front of Mu Liang.
"How many stone pressure traps did you make today?”Mu Liang glanced at the wound on the girl's finger.
"There isn't enough time. I've only set 22 traps today.”
Mi Nuo was a little indignant and pouted.""Tomorrow, I will definitely be able to make more than thirty traps.”
"Don't set up too many. Be careful not to be discovered by others.”Mu Liang calmly reminded.
"Oh, right." Mi Nuo was enlightened.
She then bit her lower lip and said anxiously,"But if we can't set up more traps, we'll have to pay taxes in three days. What about your tax?”
"How much more do I need?" Mu Liang frowned slightly.
In five days, he also understood the rules of the camp. If he wanted to live in the camp, he had to pay taxes, as long as it was food.
"Including the small lizards we've caught so far, we're still short of about 30 small lizards.”
Mi Nuo lowered her head in disappointment.
After five days of interaction, they had been vigilant from the beginning. When Mu Liang used his Survival equipment to exchange for a secret deal with the girl.
It was only last night when Mu Liang had taught the girl how to set up a stone trap that Mi Nuo had developed a sense of dependence on him.
It also allowed the girl to enjoy the warmth of someone taking care of her for a long time.
"Have you collected your share of the tax?" Mu Liang asked without a care.”
It was not difficult for him to pay taxes. As long as his body was well, what he wanted to catch was not a small lizard.
Mi Nuo was not in high spirits and said softly,""I've already handed in thirty-five small lizards. I'm just short of five.”
"Don't worry. I'll leave if my taxes aren't enough.”Mu Liang consoled.
"What? Are you leaving?"
Mi Nuo raised her head abruptly and looked at Mu Liang in astonishment, not knowing how to make him stay.
"Yes, I've almost recovered.”Mu Liang clenched his fists.
"Isn't there still three days? I'll definitely be able to collect your share of the tax.”Mi Nuo said in a panic.
She didn't wait for Mu Liang to reply and hurriedly flipped open the pile of gravel in the corner of the wooden shed, taking out a wooden box.
"I still have some dried lizard meat here. If you put it together, you can definitely pay your taxes.”
Mi Nuo opened the wooden box and took out eight dried lizards.
"Put it away. This is your food reserve.”Mu Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, his heart slightly moved.
"Don't forget, I'm an adult. The taxes I pay are different from yours.”
" I…" Mi Nuo's body trembled, and her voice trembled unwillingly."There must be another way."
How could the young girl forget that the tax for adults was different? She just wanted to keep Mu Liang here and then secretly set up more stone pressure traps to gather fifty small lizards.
"Have you forgotten what you said on the first day we met?”
Mu Liang raised his head slightly and calmly looked at the young girl.
On the first day Mi Nuo had saved him, she had thought that Mu Liang was dead and had been searching through his belongings.
Unexpectedly, Mu Liang suddenly spoke up, scaring Mi Nuo so much that she exploded.
Following that, the young girl was still too inexperienced and was fooled by Mu Liang with just a few words.
He used his military saber and water spear to exchange for the girl's help.
It was also on that day that Mi Nuo had said,"This is just a deal. Leave immediately when you're done."
" I…" Mi Nuo's face flushed red. She wanted to say something in a panic, but she did not know how to explain herself.
Without saying a word, she turned around and pulled out a camouflage backpack from under the wooden bed.
The young girl carried her backpack in a panic and gently placed it in front of Mu Liang.
"I didn't touch anything. It's all inside.”
Mi Nuo pursed her lips and pleaded timidly,""I'll return them to you. Can you keep them?”
"Why must I stay?”
Mu Liang didn't look at his backpack and asked curiously,""We've only known each other for five days. Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?”
He reminded the girl not because he wanted to take back the item, but because he wanted to know why the girl had suddenly changed.
"I, I…don't know." Mi Nuo lowered her head and grabbed the hem of her clothes with her small hands.
In any case, when she heard that Mu Liang was leaving, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
This was the same feeling her sister had when she had to leave four years ago to pay her taxes.
The ignorant young girl wanted to hold on tightly to the feeling that had appeared before.
Mi Nuo had been too young and had no choice in the past, but now, she did not want to experience the loneliness and helplessness she felt after her sister left.
"Wait, I still have something that should be enough to pay taxes.”
Mi Nuo bit her lower lip as an idea flashed through her mind.
The young girl remembered something important and flipped through the wooden shed. Finally, she hurriedly crawled under the wooden bed.
"Found him. He's still alive."
After a while, the girl let out a joyful cheer.
"What is it?" Mu Liang stuck his head out and asked.
Mi Nuo climbed out of the wooden bed and presented a palm-sized turtle to Mu Liang with both hands.
"Turtle?" Mu Liang said in surprise as he reached out to take the tortoise that looked a little like a tortoise.
At this moment, a voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Detected tamed creature, bound to Tamer System…"
