After the Cannon Fodder Awakened, She Married the Female Lead! [Quick Transmigration] 86

Chapter 86

About three months later, the two of them had successfully built their own house in a place near a lake in the south.

Because Li Mo had many abilities, the house was built very sturdily and exquisitely. The bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and so on were all complete, which made the quality of their lives soar.

Wen Runan didn’t want to seem too idle, so she studied the application of the lightning ability in power supply and successfully found a way to supply power to the house with her ability.

“Very good. There’s water, electricity, and a vegetable garden. We can raise some small animals later, and then we can retire here,” seeing the courtyard being taken care of in an orderly manner, Wen Runan was very proud.

“The animals are optional. The meat in our space is enough for us to eat for a long, long time,” Li Mo said with a smile, sticking to Wen Runan as soon as she found an opportunity.

Wen Runan shrank her neck. Li Mo’s rubbing made her a little itchy. “In that case, then let’s just get two pets. Two cats, or two dogs, or a cat and a dog?”

“Isn’t it enough to have me?” Li Mo was dissatisfied. Wen Runan already had her. Why did she still want to get a pet?

“But people and pets are not willing to be you. You…” Wen Runan’s words got stuck halfway. Getting a pet was usually to have them accompany you. If Li Mo wasn’t there, she could still tease the cat and play with the dog.

But thinking about it again, Li Mo seemed to be always there. Besides going to the bathroom, the two of them were always stuck together, when they were working, when they were sleeping, and also when they were bathing. The two of them didn’t seem to have ever been separated.

“Boss Wen, what’s wrong with me? Am I in any way inferior to a pet?” Li Mo was like she had skin hunger. She would stick to her for as long as she could. Even if she couldn’t, she had to hold Wen Runan’s hand.

Li Mo had already fallen in love with this feeling, this feeling of being inseparable from Wen Runan.

Perhaps this was the so-called “extremes meet.” The world’s consciousness had made the two of them hostile to each other when they were separated, so correspondingly, when the two of them were together, their desire for each other would also be super doubled.

“Alright, then let’s not get one for now. When we need one, I’ll consider it again,” Wen Runan was successfully persuaded by Li Mo. It was already very hard for her to raise one person. If she were to get another pet, she would most likely not be able to handle it.

After all, a certain someone’s ability to be jealous was very strong, and her methods of “tormenting” people were also very many. To be able to start her morning run smoothly every morning, it was better for her to be a little more well-behaved.

When the peaceful and beautiful life had lasted for five months, a mutation that Li Mo did not want to see came.

On a morning without any warning, the sky, which had been clear a second ago, was replaced by a crimson meteor shower in the next second.

This meteor shower was not a simple passing by, but directly took the blue star as its destination. After a brief red mark in the sky, it began to fall from the sky.

The meteors directly turned into meteorites. Their landing sites were completely random. Some smashed into the uninhabited wilderness, and some fell into the boundless sea.

Some smashed the newly built houses, and some pierced through the thick surrounding walls. In places with a little bad luck, it could be said that as far as the eye could see, there were falling meteorites and damaged houses. Wails and screams rose and fell, one after another.

Li Mo and Wen Runan’s residence was no exception. Not long after the sky turned red, a meteorite with a diameter of about one meter flew towards them.

Fortunately, 033 could monitor the situation of the meteorite in advance, giving Li Mo enough time to block the falling meteorite with her ability.

Hearing the commotion, Wen Runan put on a coat and ran out. “What’s going on? Is it a meteor shower?”

“To be more precise, it should be a meteorite shower,” Li Mo frowned slightly. According to the news given by 033, the meteorite shower should have appeared in the fifth year of the apocalypse. Why did it appear in the second year?

“Master, the world’s consciousness has become weaker, and more ‘cores’ have come in through the world barrier,” 033 had never forgotten to collect information and soon gave the most reasonable and most likely deduction result.

“Master, now is the best opportunity to obtain the world’s destiny. The villain buff on you will be weakened a lot and will basically no longer affect other people’s views of you!”

Li Mo raised an eyebrow. If 033 hadn’t reminded her, she would have almost forgotten her original intention of choosing this world. She had come for the vast world’s destiny.

“Is this the aura of the ‘core’?” After getting close to the meteorite fragments, Wen Runan’s body soon reacted, and her heart rate directly doubled.

“Mm, there are a lot of ‘cores’ in the meteorite. If the meteorite falls into a residential area, the casualties will be secondary. What’s more important is that it will cause mutations,” Li Mo said.

Li Mo was thinking. Should she give up the destiny of this world and continue to live a two-person world with Wen Runan, or…

Wen Runan frowned slightly. In that case, wouldn’t the base, which was originally a safe zone, become the most dangerous place? The population density there was higher than any other place before the apocalypse.

“Li Mo…” Wen Runan could not participate in the reconstruction of the apocalypse, but now, she seemed to be unable to remain indifferent.

“The closest base to here is the No. 5 base. It would originally take five hours to drive there, but the meteorite should have damaged many roads. The actual arrival time is hard to estimate,” Li Mo said, sighing in her heart. “Let’s set off after the meteorite shower is over.”

Forget it. This time, she would just sacrifice her small family for everyone.

Besides, even if the savior’s buff was weakened, Wen Runan was still a kind and upright person. When she was able to, she always wanted to save more people.

“I…” Hearing Li Mo say what she wanted to say, Wen Runan felt a little guilty.

Li Mo had been hurt too many times. Every time she wanted to do something for those people, she would be used by them in return, and even be harmed.

“After we go to the No. 5 base, I want to go to the No. 3 base and take a look,” Li Mo continued. “I still remember the people who raised their hands that day. If they let the civilians die, I will kill them.”

“Is that okay? Boss Wen?” Li Mo looked at Wen Runan and asked for her opinion very seriously.

Wen Runan blinked and touched her still-accelerating heart. “Alright. I’ll allow it this time. You can kill people.”

Li Mo gave a hum. Seeing that Wen Runan’s heart rate and breathing had quickened, she directly picked up Wen Runan and coaxed her in a soft voice, “Take a nap. We’ll set off after the meteorite shower is over.”

“Alright,” after being enveloped by Li Mo’s aura, Wen Runan soon closed her eyes and let her consciousness sink into darkness.

Li Mo placed Wen Runan on the bed and touched her forehead. It was hot one moment and cold the next. The temperature fluctuated greatly.

“033, the savior won’t have an accident, right?” Li Mo asked. Although she knew that Wen Runan was like this because she was awakening her ability, she still couldn’t help but worry, worrying about that tiny possibility of an accident.

“Don’t worry, Master. The savior is absolutely safe. The reason she has lost consciousness now is just because the degree of the apocalypse has suddenly accelerated. The savior needs to awaken more abilities,” 033 said. “Before it gets dark, the savior will definitely wake up.”

After getting 033’s affirmative answer, Li Mo was a little more at ease. She simply moved a chair and stood guard by the bed.

The meteorite shower lasted for a full eighty-eight minutes. Li Mo went out three times in a row, intercepting the meteorites that would have fallen into the lake and the vegetable garden, and protected the small home that belonged to the two of them.

At about three in the afternoon, Wen Runan opened her eyes. She felt that her whole body was filled with an inexhaustible amount of energy, the kind that could continuously release lightning for a whole day without getting tired.

“Awake. How do you feel?” Li Mo touched Wen Runan’s forehead. Very good. The temperature of her forehead had already returned to normal.

“I feel like I can take on a whole zombie army alone,” Wen Runan said her feelings. Just as she was about to strike a lightning bolt to test the feel, she suddenly stopped.

“No, I seem to be able to do more than just form lightning,” with that, Wen Runan ran into the courtyard in her slippers.

Clang— A bolt of lightning the thickness of an arm appeared out of thin air, followed by a fireball, a wind blade, a water dragon, and a green sprout that appeared in Wen Runan’s palm.

“What is this?” Li Mo poked the small green sprout with some curiosity.

The green sprout that had grown in Wen Runan’s palm seemed to have a mind of its own. It leaned its small body back and dodged Li Mo’s finger.

Li Mo looked at Wen Runan with puzzlement. “Is this under your control?”

Wen Runan also poked the green sprout with her finger with curiosity. This time, the small tender sprout did not dodge, but instead, it tried its best to stretch its branches and leaves, trying its best to wrap Wen Runan’s fingertip with its only three small tender leaves.

“Is this a case of differential treatment?” Li Mo was unhappy. In front of the green sprout, she held Wen Runan’s hand and pulled it away, and then kissed her palm.

“This is mine, not yours,” Li Mo bent down and spoke almost against the green sprout, her tone very serious.

Hearing this, the green sprout began to sway left and right, as if it wanted to express its dissatisfaction in this way.

“Alright, what are you being so calculative with a blade of grass for?” Wen Runan said helplessly. “Go and find a suitable container. I feel like I can plant this blade of grass.”

Li Mo’s eyes lit up. Without another word, she took out a cup from her space and filled it with a handful of soil from the courtyard.

Wen Runan used her index finger to poke a small hole in it, then held the green sprout’s small body and slowly pulled it out of her palm, quickly transferring it to the cup.

After leaving her palm, the green sprout seemed a little listless. Its three small leaves also drooped, and it did not look as green as before.

“I feel that this blade of grass is quite useful. Let’s take it with us,” Wen Runan touched the small green sprout. Seeing the other party try its best to respond to her, the smile on her face deepened a lot.

Li Mo looked at the small green sprout with some dissatisfaction and reluctantly stuffed the cup into her pocket. If she hadn’t known that this green sprout was the key to solving the apocalypse, this green sprout wouldn’t have been able to live for even a quarter of an hour.

The fall of the meteorite shower was both random and regional. Li Mo and Wen Runan’s luck was not bad. Although some of the fences on the road had been smashed, it did not affect the driving of the vehicles.

Especially the bridges that they had to pass on the road. Every one of them was intact, so there was no need to worry about the bridge breaking halfway.

The journey to the No. 5 base was very smooth, but the situation in the No. 5 base was not optimistic.

The time the sky had changed was in the morning. At that time, many people had curiously run out of their residences and gathered together to watch and discuss.

In addition, the civilian area of the No. 5 base had unfortunately become a place where meteorites had randomly fallen. In eighty-eight minutes, dozens of meteorites had fallen one after another.

Not to mention how many buildings and civilian houses were destroyed, the number of deaths caused by the falling meteorites alone was as high as a thousand, and the number of people who had directly mutated had soared to the tens of thousands.

As for the number of people who had indirectly mutated, the No. 3 base did not have time to count at present. All the management and ability users were too busy to do anything else. They were constantly evacuating the crowd, setting up the vicinity of the meteorite fall as a restricted area, and starting a one-by-one investigation.

The mutation brought by the meteorite shower and the mutation brought by the meteor shower were very different. From the data that could be counted at present, it was between eight minutes and eight hours, and it was not ruled out that there were longer ones.

At this time, the investigation work was very important. People who had been in close contact with the meteorite had to be isolated separately, and then there were those who had been bitten by the newly mutated zombies but had not yet mutated. The control of these people was the most important.

No one did not want to live. Living was the most primitive desire of human beings. Many people, to avoid being isolated, began to hide the relevant information, saying that they had not been bitten, and then saying that they were far away.

In the first round of investigation, only less than a thousand people admitted that they had been near the meteorite. The number of people who admitted that they had been bitten was even smaller. The people who were found were basically those with wounds on their faces and necks, the kind that could not be covered up.

So, when Li Mo and Wen Runan arrived at the entrance of the No. 5 base, it was almost in chaos. There were constantly lurkers who were mutating in the crowd, and then they began to attack others, causing chaos.

The ability users wanted to take action to clean up the zombies, but they were surrounded by the scared public. They all felt that only by staying by the side of the ability users could they ensure their own safety.

Actually, there were many ability users in the No. 5 base. They made up about one percent of the total population. Among the nearly two million people, there were nearly twenty thousand ability users. If everyone cooperated, the situation would soon stabilize.

“Boss Wen, this blade of grass is moving. Is it trying to express something?” Li Mo took the cup out of her pocket. The small green sprout was a little bigger than before, but its leaves were still listless.

Wen Runan extended her finger. When she touched the green sprout, she very magically received a message.

“It says that it can treat people who have not yet inhaled the ‘core’ but have not yet mutated, and after being treated by it, that person will gain a permanent immunity to the ‘core’,” the more Wen Runan spoke, the tighter her brows furrowed. Was this small green sprout that amazing?

“Hmm?” Li Mo raised an eyebrow. “Then as long as this blade of grass treats everyone, the apocalypse can be over?”

“It seems not,” Wen Runan’s brows gradually relaxed. “It can only evolve a hundred people a day at most, but it says that it can provide a new active substance. As long as we successfully analyze and replicate the new substance, we can end the apocalypse.”

“A new substance?” Hearing this, Li Mo also roughly understood why Wen Runan was the destined savior in this world, and the male lead could only be an assistant.

There could be many smart people, but this special blade of grass that could end the apocalypse would only appear in Wen Runan’s palm.

“It seems to be called ‘deep’?” Wen Runan didn’t know if she had perceived the message from the other party correctly. “It says that as long as you work hard, you can successfully replicate it in a month.”

As soon as Wen Runan’s voice fell, 033’s notification sound followed. “Master, the villain buff on you has changed. Eighty percent of it has already turned into a savior buff.”

“Hmm? You want me to work hard for a month?” Li Mo raised an eyebrow. What was going on? Was this the world’s consciousness trying to save itself? Had it compromised with her in disguise?

“It seems so,” Wen Runan was a little confused. “You shouldn’t be a researcher, Li Mo. Why would it ask you to work hard?”

Li Mo stroked her chin. “It’s probably because I absorbed Gu Sheng’s ability before. His ability is helpful in improving the speed and success rate of the research.”

Before the two of them could finish talking about this topic, a miserable scream came from the entrance of the No. 5 base. It seemed that the gatekeeper had also been hit.

“Let’s go. Let’s help deal with the already mutated zombies first,” Wen Runan said. “The main gate is locked. Can you handle this height?”

“I can,” Li Mo replied. After getting out of the car, she held Wen Runan, took three steps to run, and then jumped. Her jump height directly exceeded eight meters, and she landed on the surrounding wall very easily.

“One on each side?” Li Mo bent down and put her down, taking out a pair of gloves and helping Wen Runan put them on.

“Mm. We’ll contact each other depending on the situation then,” Wen Runan moved her body. After locking on to a more chaotic place, she fell from the surrounding wall in a few moves and began to kill the zombies accurately.

Li Mo put the small green sprout back in her pocket, fastened the button on it, and took out ten short knives from her space. At a speed of twenty zombies a minute, she quickly reaped the lives of the zombies.

Wen Runan and Li Mo’s appearance was very abrupt. When they used their various abilities, many people showed envious gazes, and when they were killing zombies like cutting radishes, the envy in most people’s eyes turned into admiration.

The strength of the two of them was really much higher than an ordinary ability user. To them, killing zombies was as easy as crushing an ant.

With Li Mo and Wen Runan participating in the control, the order inside the base visibly improved. The ability users who were surrounded by the crowd also had a chance to get away and began to work together to clear the surrounding zombies.

It was almost ten o’clock at night when the two of them arrived at the No. 5 base. After participating in the battle for a full five hours, the situation in the base slowly stabilized. The public began to report their situation in an orderly manner, and then returned to their residences.

“Thank you, both heroes!” After the chaos had subsided, the head of the No. 5 base found the two of them as soon as possible and bowed deeply to them.

“You’re welcome. We just did what we could,” Wen Runan said. After confirming that there was no problem with the No. 5 base, she politely refused the head’s request to stay.

“We still want to go to the No. 3 base and take a look. While we still have time,” Wen Runan did not plan to stay in one base. She had to hurry up and save as many people as possible.

The head’s eyes were full of admiration and reverence. “In that case, I won’t stop the two of you. Do you need me to prepare any supplies?”

“No need. We have them all,” Wen Runan held Li Mo’s hand and said a neat farewell. “Then, we’ll meet again.”

“Wait. Can the two heroes leave their names?” The head called out to the two of them. “At least let us know who saved the No. 5 base.”

“You’re too serious,” Wen Runan looked back at the head. “Our names may not be unfamiliar to you.”

“We were once from the No. 3 base. Perhaps we are still on the wanted list of the No. 3 base now,” Wen Runan said with a smile, raising her hand that was intertwined with Li Mo’s. “I am Wen Runan. This is my lover, Li Mo.”

Hearing this, the corners of Li Mo’s lips rose wildly. She instantly felt that the sky was bright and the air was fragrant. It was a feeling of physical and mental comfort!
