Chapter 2536: What Are You Planning to Do?
Ning Shu had stabbed Mach with a wire before. Why was he complaining about a little slap now?
Ning Shu used a broken bowl to serve Mach with some random food that she’d cooked together.
“Eat. Come with me to get the barrels once you’re full,” Ning Shu said with a smile on her face.
Mach, completely unafraid of his tongue being scalded, gobbled down the vomit-like food as if he were eating an incomparable delicacy.
After that, Ning Shu and Mach went to bring back the fuel that he’d found.
“What do you do with this thing?” Mach asked.
“I like to light it for fun,” Ning Shu offhandedly answered.
“You better be careful. There’s garbage all around this place. If the fire sparks, the whole planet will become a sea of flames,” Mach said with a serious face.
Planet Sehlde was, like Mach said, full of garbage. It also didn’t have any good water sources. If a fire started in this place, everyone would have no choice but to wait for their turn to die.
Ning Shu nodded and said, “Okay.”
Mach glanced at Alviss, who was sitting in his wheelchair, and left.
Alviss put down the book in his hand and asked Ning Shu, “Sister, what are you planning to do?”
“This thing is dangerous, indeed. If the garbage around us catches fire, it will cause a disaster,” Alviss said.
“I just think they might have some use. That’s why I’m gathering them.”
Alviss narrowed his eyes but said nothing further.
Ning Shu fiddled with the fuel every day. She found out that at night, this fuel would become more solid due to the cold weather.
When it was solid, it wouldn’t burn as violently as when it was liquid.
Ning Shu used a stick to stir the fuel. It was very viscous right now, and it took a lot of effort to stir it even a little.
Ning Shu had a plan in her mind, but she had to first discuss it with Alviss.
Should she tell Alviss that some people would soon come here to scout for people?
That they could hijack that spaceship and leave this place?
However, if she told Alviss that, he probably wouldn’t believe it. There was no way she could’ve known that information, and it wasn’t like she could see the future.
All that’d cause was suspicion towards her.
Ning Shu could only wait for those people to arrive before she could start discussing her plans with Alviss.
Ning Shu looked at the fuel substance as she went over the scenarios and planned over and over again in her mind.
Ning Shu waited with anticipation for those people to arrive.
One day, they finally did. A huge spaceship floated above Planet Sehlde, covering the sky and the sun.
They blocked a huge portion of sunlight.
At the same time, a sound wave spread to every part of the Planet Sehlde.
“Residents of Planet Sehlde, we’ve come to offer you a golden opportunity. Through us, you have a chance to leave Planet Sehlde and become a great and noble mecha pilot.”
There was a look of intense hope and desire on the faces of everyone on the planet.
They even started yelling at the spaceship.
“As long as you have enough mental strength, you can leave this place and become a mecha pilot.”
These bewitching words were said with a dreamlike tone and were broadcasted from the spaceship, over and over again. They excited and fascinated everyone who heard them.
Ning Shu and Alviss sat in their tent, listening to these words.
“Alviss, we must leave Sehlde. On Sehlde, we have no way left to survive,” Ning Shu said.
Alviss tightened his grip on the wheelchair and asked, “Sister, will you go?
“Will you test your mental strength?” Alviss asked again.
Without any hesitation, Ning Shu nodded. “Definitely.”
She needed to go and see how many people there were on that spaceship, so she could formulate her plan.
Alviss’ face trembled. There seemed to be a dark tide surging within his ocean-blue eyes as if they were the surface of a sea about to be disturbed by a violent storm.
Alviss looked at Ning Shu and softly asked, “Are you going to abandon me, Sister?”
