The next day, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Mi Nuo woke up and stared blankly at the wooden roof.
Last night, she had been thinking about whether or not she should leave with Mu Liang. Thinking about it, she couldn't sleep and only fell asleep after a few hours.
"Sniff…"
Mi Nuo wrinkled her nose and smelled the fragrance of meat.
The young girl turned her head and looked over. There was a little charcoal left burning in the fireplace. There was an iron pot hanging on the wooden frame on the fireplace, and the fragrance came from inside.
"You're awake. Get up and eat something.”
Mu Liang held a spoon and gently stirred the things in the iron pot.
Mi Nuo was lost in thought for a moment. She was the one who had prepared breakfast previously.
"Are you feeling better?" she asked hesitantly.”
"Yes, it's done." Mu Liang said lightly.
For breakfast, they had compressed biscuits and boiled small lizards. It was a dark dish, but it could fill their stomachs.
The compressed biscuits were one of the few things that Mu Liang had brought over from Earth when the ground cracked.
"Oh." Mi Nuo sat quietly by the fireplace.
"When you're full, I'll go hunting with you.”
Mu Liang scooped breakfast into a metal lunch box and handed it to the girl.
He had to prepare some food to leave the camp. There were only a few pieces of compressed biscuits left.
"Alright." Mi Nuo obediently took the metal lunch box.
The girl recognized the iron lunch box. It was the thing in the backpack.
Five days ago, she wanted to take it to pay taxes, but she was reluctant to do so.
Mu Liang could tell that the young girl's mood wasn't very high, but he didn't comfort her.
He took the inner layer of the lunchbox and scooped some lizard meat into a bowl before quietly eating his breakfast.
"Sizzle ~~"
The two of them ate their breakfast quietly.
Mi Nuo pursed her lips and stole a glance at Mu Liang's side profile.
For some reason, the girl suddenly couldn't find a topic to talk about. She couldn't talk about it like before.
"Kacha…"
The Rock-Armored Tortoise's feet scratched the ground, its emerald green eyes staring straight at Mu Liang.
When Mi Nuo saw the Rock-Armored Tortoise, she immediately found a topic to talk about.""What about this turtle?"
"It's going out with us." Mu Liang wasn't at ease letting the Rock Armored Tortoise stay in the camp.
A Level 1 Rock-Armored Tortoise was not strong, and if it was discovered, it would be slaughtered and eaten.
Moreover, the Rock-Armored Tortoise also needed to eat. It could hunt for food outside.
"I see." Mi Nuo nodded slightly.
The atmosphere became quiet again.
After breakfast, the two of them took the important things in the wooden shed to prevent thieves from coming in.
Mi Nuo's house was a wooden shed made of animal skin and dead wood.
The wooden shed was located at the edge of the camp, just right for the two of them and the turtle to secretly leave the camp.
The Rock-Armored Tortoise's crawling speed was not very fast, which was the speed of an ordinary person walking. However, its shell was made of brown rock, which was an excellent camouflage.
After leaving the camp, the two of them and the turtle headed north.
According to the girl's introduction, there was a rocky hill in the north with many small lizards.
Along the way, Mu Liang also saw other figures, but they all avoided them from afar.
He could guess the reason. It was probably because he was afraid of being robbed of his food.
After all, in this apocalyptic wasteland, in order to survive, one could be stabbed in the back at any time.
The rocky hills were not far from the camp, and the two of them soon arrived at the foot of the nearest hill.
"Little Black Tortoise, you can go look for food yourself.”Mu Liang squatted down and patted the Rock Armored Tortoise's head.
He named the Rock-Armored Tortoise Black Tortoise because he was looking forward to it.
"Roar ~~"
The Rock-Armored Tortoise rubbed Mu Liang's palm, then chose a direction and slowly crawled over.
"It won't get lost, right?" Mi Nuo asked worriedly.
"No, I have a telepathic connection with the little Xuanwu.”Mu Liang said with a smile.
Tamed animals could communicate with him through their minds.
Mi Nuo heaved a sigh of relief and pointed ahead.""The trap I made is at the foot of a few hills ahead.”
"You go and look at the traps. I'll look for prey nearby.”Mu Liang decided to split up.
The prey he wanted to catch was not small lizards. There was too little meat and it was difficult to fill his stomach.
"Alright." "If there's anything, just shout for me," Mi Nuo said softly.”
"Alright." Mu Liang nodded lightly and walked in the opposite direction of the Rock Armored Tortoise.
"Sigh, why am I so frustrated today?”
Mi Nuo sighed sadly. She patted her cheeks with both hands to cheer herself up.
"..." Mu Liang's footsteps paused, then he strode away.
He had been strengthened by the Rock-Armored Tortoise, and his five senses had also become stronger. He could hear the girl's sigh.
Young girls were very sad, especially when they had been alone for a long time and suddenly had someone to accompany them. They wanted to hold on even more.
Mu Liang had no intention of comforting Mi Nuo. If the girl did not leave with him, the gentleness he was giving her now would only hurt her even more.
"It's really desolate. It's no different from a large desert.”
Mu Liang lightly stepped forward, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.
"I wonder how the people here managed to survive for so long.”
"Sha ~~"
The sound of sand sliding onto the ground instantly attracted Mu Liang's attention.
He stared at a rock wall not far away. After carefully scanning the surroundings, he saw the animal that caused the sand to slide down.
A small lizard was climbing the rock wall.
"I can't let you go if I see you."
Mu Liang pulled out the military knife at his waist and quickly stabbed it into the little lizard's head.
Puchi...
The little lizard was dead.
"Sha ~~"
A small lizard suddenly appeared on the rock wall and quickly climbed up.
"A small lizard that can change color?"
Mu Liang was stunned for less than a second before he quickly reacted. He raised his hand and pressed an I on the color-changing little lizard.
The first time he didn't press it, but the second time he pressed it, he pressed the 'I' button on the chameleon lizard.
"I didn't expect the small lizards here to be of different species.”
Mu Liang looked at the struggling little lizard in his palm. It was twice the size of the other little lizards.
The most surprising thing was that the skin of the chameleon lizard was red, green, and blue.
"Ding! Tame animal detected. Do you want to tame it?”
