Chapter 924: Chapter 402: Flowers, Vegetables, and Meat

In the silent silence, Lin Wu slowly said, "I miss Wai."

"Normal," Maya responded.

Lin Wu glanced at Maya with the corner of his eye, questioning, "What? You think our human emotions are funny?"

Maya said, "No, but the topic you’re talking about doesn’t seem relevant to our conversation."

Lin Wu asked, "Is it because you don’t miss Wai?"

Maya replied, "No, I don’t want to express it. Personal emotions are private and shouldn’t be shared with others."

Lin Wu scoffed and asked, "Suppose we’re lovers, do I not need to express it either?"

Maya responded, "Of course not, that’s our love, you should express it. Just like how you don’t need to hide your love for Xiao La when you’re with him. I can understand sharing happiness with me, but I can’t understand why you’d share your feelings for someone else with me."

Don’t think they are arguing; they are actually having a conversation—a chat between absolute rationality and mundane banter, luckily they can keep it going.

Lin Wu said, "For example, both Shana and you love me. According to your logic, you and Shana could sit down together and share your love for me."

Maya said, "We could talk about it, but it would not give you a chance to play both sides and hurt two people." Still the optimal solution.

Maya interrupted Lin Wu before he could ask further, "Let’s talk about two NPCs, Xiao Wu and Xiao Wen. What about them?"

Lin Wu thought for a while, "I have a hunch that I led Xiao Wu astray. He originally feared death and was cautious, but my heroic spirit infected him, making him somewhat reckless."

Maya said, "Xiao Wu is Wai, you handle it. What about Xiao Wen?"

Lin Wu replied, "She’s a nice girl, very willing to do practical work, seldom voices her own opinions and views, accomplishes assigned tasks well and is very serious. For example, she was assigned to logistics to take care of the injured; she would take everyone’s temperature and blood pressure and always monitor Lin Meng’s condition who has chronic diseases. As for relationships, I don’t know what to say; she kissed Xiao Wu not long after they met. But, I can’t see any further development between them."

Maya nodded, "Pressure and needs. What about Stone? He seems somewhat negligent."

Lin Wu said, "He’s just unlucky. I saw him for only a day and he fell ill, very seriously ill. This morning when I left, I saw his leg trembling unconsciously, his body extremely weak. Overall, everyone is trying hard. Speaking of which, you can’t deny Stone; for example, the railway bridge base we found under his leadership should be an excellent base."

Maya stated, "I’ve always trusted Shana’s judgment; she just lacks some execution capabilities and then doubts herself. Is today D9?"

Lin Wu corrected, "By our count, it’s D10." Lin Wu elaborated on his grievances and told Maya that 180 days would experience four seasons.

Maya nodded, "I actually know some things about Earth."

"Oh?" Lin Wu wasn’t too surprised and asked, "Do you mind sharing?" People like Fire Dance and Sunlight would definitely investigate Earth after knowing they were on the relocation list. Given that the Universe shuttle could reach Earth in two weeks and all Earth projects were managed by Fortress Company, they certainly knew the situation on Earth.

"It’s nothing secret," Maya stated. "Dawn didn’t lie, a supercity that can accommodate a million people has already been built on Earth. Though the scale isn’t that of a supercity, its content is that of a supercity. Outside the supercity is desolation, and it is fairly certain that there are no longer any humans on the surface of the planet."

Lin Wu puzzled, "Why say it, then?"

Maya explained, "I’m worried that if you play too smoothly in the game, you’ll still want to be an explorer upon reaching Earth. You need to distinguish between the game and reality."

Lin Wu looked at Maya, "Don’t worry, I’m best at loafing around."

"Whether you are or not, you know best," Maya said, "A virtual world can never replace the real world. Like simulated stock trading versus real stock trading."

"Heh, maybe there’s a bit of that thought, but I believe I know the limits."

Maya reached into her backpack and pulled out a watch, handing it over, "For you. It’s about time to rest. If you need the restroom, use the corner and don’t leave the train carriage."

"Isn’t it smelly?"

Maya rested her head on the backpack, turned sideways towards the oil lamp, pulled up the face cover, closed her eyes, and didn’t reply to Lin Wu’s question. Between smell and risk, she chose smell. But she knew others’ aversion to bad smells, so she would avoid such situations in daily life. There was no need to be discreet with Lin Wu.

...

The next morning, after finishing their biscuit breakfast, the two left the truck with Lin Wu leading and Maya following about two meters behind. Today’s road conditions were a bit better, with less soil clumping up on the soles of their shoes. The two followed the road, not taking the left side near the neighborhoods, walking instead on the right pedestrian path.

On the right by the river, the land had many non-planned buildings. For example, waste transfer stations, animal shelters, driver training areas, etc. In larger areas, there were a few planned zones, like parks, zoos, and bus terminals. RegexOptions.includeDotAll.multiline">There were also some bridges leading southwest, with villages visible at the end of the bridge.

Additionally, by the river, there were some residential houses; some of which were demolished to rubble, some were being reconstructed to new projects, and many were still preserved.
