Chapter 1156: One Person’s Journey

Translator: Lordbluefire
When Sun Mo regained consciousness, he discovered that there was darkness everywhere, which caused him to have an uneasy feeling. The Black-White Game shouldn’t have ended yet.
“Damn!”
Sun Mo took out a lighter from his pocket. From the illumination provided, he saw a tunnel that extended to an unknown location.
A gust of cold wind breezed by, causing Sun Mo to involuntarily shudder.
“Is it not over yet?”
Sun Mo grumbled, feeling unhappy in his heart.
This dark and dim tunnel resembled the esophagus of an ancient gigantic beast that could swallow you to death.
Sun Mo inspected his items.
He had a black western suit with a wallet in his pocket with some cash. However, the game had changed. He probably wouldn’t be able to use the cash now.
He had two handguns and six ammunition clips. He also had a folding knife, a few pieces of sweets, and two bars of chocolate energy bars.
Sun Mo frowned because the items were all transported here together with him. This was a matter that had never occurred in the past few games.
There were no reference objects in the underground tunnel where he could use to differentiate a direction. Hence, Sun Mo used the old solution where guys were placed on the left and girls on the right. Then he decisively walked toward the right side.
(Eh? Why is it stone?)
The slow walk ground down Sun Mo’s nerves and body condition. Five hours later, fatigue started to spread throughout his body. Actually, the psychological pressure felt even worse compared to the physical fatigue.
Such a long time was enough for Sun Mo to find a few platforms. However, the few he found had either been sealed or had collapsed.
“Could this stage be set at the end of the world?”
Other than this reason, Sun Mo couldn’t think of any reason why the subway had to be sealed.
Besides, the entire surroundings were so quiet that it was terrifying. Sun Mo’s footsteps echoed in the tunnel and were akin to the low roars of monsters.
All of a sudden, a hint of light appeared in the distance. Sun Mo felt joy in his heart and immediately hastened his steps to charge over. When he reached the location, he discovered that the tunnel here had collapsed.
The afternoon sunlight streamed in. It was quite blinding.
Sun Mo climbed out and saw the city ruins.
Some buildings were in ruins, and others resembled unfinished buildings. They stood there and were exposed to the elements, with motley traces clearly visible and resembling dying old men.
The asphalt public roads had long since cracked and were uneven. There were many rusty cars parked on the road.
“As expected, this stage is set as the end of the world!”
Sun Mo sighed. He had already guessed it.
Because according to the era of the previous games, they were set in the eras of ‘before recorded history’, ‘ancient times’, ‘modern era’, ‘future city’, and the next would logically be ‘end of the world’. Also, this should be the last level.
There was sunlight during the afternoon, but the wind that gusted by was dry and cold. Sun Mo involuntarily rubbed his hands.
It should be winter now and there was a layer of snow on the ground.
“I should try my best to find an aboriginal to check the situation out.”
Sun Mo could see a large building several hundred meters before him. He walked over. He was preparing to climb it to look down at this entire city.
But before Sun Mo could arrive there, the sound of an engine rumbled and reached his ears.
“There’s someone?”
Sun Mo’s spirits stirred as he immediately rushed madly in the direction of the noise. But very soon later, he decided to hide at the side of the road because he could hear voices that were cheering and laughing maliciously.
It felt like bad guys!
As expected, a few minutes later, a military jeep cruised past the main road not far from Sun Mo.
Three men were seated in the jeep wearing filthy clothes and possessing rifles.
On their right arms, there was a red-colored cloth being tied there. This should be the symbol of a certain power.
Behind the car, a man was dragged by a rope. Half of his head was already in a mess due to the friction. Even his body was badly damaged.
Sun Mo’s vision wasn’t bad. He noticed that there was a girl being bound and tossed into the corner in the jeep.
“What should I do?”
The most stable plan was to let the jeep drive past while he followed them using the vehicle’s tracks and perform an assassination. But the problem was that he had no idea what the next stop for these people was.
If they returned to their camp, he wouldn’t have a solution anymore.
Moreover, depending on his legs to chase a jeep? He probably needed a few hours of effort for that. Hence, Sun Mo decisively aimed his weapon.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He opened fire and shot out nine bullets that whistled through the air.
The driver was shot dead. His head slumped and hit the steering wheel, causing the entire jeep to drive around chaotically. One of the men was caught off-guard and fell out of the jeep. Another one went to grab the steering wheel and hurriedly stomp the brake.
The man who fell out of the car was killed just when he lifted his weapon. The remaining one stomped the brake, but before the jeep could stabilize, he already started counter-attacking.
Da! Da! Da!
The fire suppression made Sun Mo couldn’t even lift his head.
That girl who was captured was tough. She moved like a carp and leaped straight up. After that, she lunged forward like a torpedo, headbutting the remaining man.
Bang!
Two of them tumbled onto the ground.
Sun Mo didn’t want to miss the opportunity, hence, he directly rushed out.
“Scram!”
The man cursed and slammed his hand down ruthlessly, aiming for the girl.
The girl’s brow area cracked apart and her nose broke. However, she was like a mad dog and bit the man on his arm, refusing to let go.
It was due to her bravery that Sun Mo could rush close in time.
The man was badly shocked. He lifted his weapon and wanted to fire, but his wrist was kicked by Sun Mo. His hair was then grabbed and he was hoisted up as though he was a piece of salted fish.
Seeing the black muzzle pointing at his body, the man screamed.
“Don’t kill me…”
Bang! Bang!
Two bullets blasted into the man’s left chest, immediately rendering him immobile.
Sun Mo stared at the girl.
She wore jeans, sports shoes, and a jacket, with a ponytail. There was dirt on her face, but her facial shape wasn’t bad, and her eyes were very spirited.
At this moment, the girl was regarding Sun Mo warily.
“I have no malicious intentions!”
Sun Mo changed the ammunition clip and pulled out a folding knife. He flipped it and asked, “Do you need me to help you cut the ropes?”
“Thanks!”
The girl heaved a sigh of relief.
This young man wasn’t a bad guy. But why was he so clean and his attire so neat?
Even the son of Boss Tang Qiao, the head of the greatest power in the surroundings, wouldn’t be so neat and tidy.
No, it should be said that in this world, there might only be a few sets of such clean clothes.
Every day when everyone opened their eyes, they would be busy searching for food. No one would have any idle time to maintain their appearances.
“Who are those people?”
Sun Mo looked at the dirty corpses. Honestly speaking, he felt no impulse to inspect their bodies for any spoils.
“They are Tang Qiao’s subordinates. He is the boss of this city!”
The girl secretly surveyed Sun Mo. After seeing that he didn’t reveal any expression of fear when he heard this, she couldn’t help but silently exclaim in praise.
Gutsy!
“Don’t you want their rifles and bullets?”
The girl licked her lips. Those were considered hard currency.
“How about half for each of us?”
Sun Mo smiled. “But I hope you can provide me with a meal!”
“No problem!”
The girl immediately took action. Sun Mo’s generosity caused the wariness in her heart to decline. She started to chat and subconsciously provided much information to Sun Mo.
Right now, it was the 97th year after World War Three ended. The entire world hadn’t walked out from the shadow of the nuclear winter yet.
Civilization was gradually heading toward its doom because the survivors were all struggling whilst at death’s door. Life was filled with suffering.
…
Lunch was grilled potatoes. The girl named Yun Yao enjoyed it very much to the point where she almost choked.
“Eat slowly” Sun Mo passed the potato in his hand over. “This is for you!”
Yun Yao glanced at it and swallowed her saliva, but she shook her head determinedly. After that, she opened her bag. The spoils they gathered earlier were in it.
There were a few buns, two bottles of water, a rabbit, three rifles, and four reserve ammunition clips. However, the number of bullets was so few that it was pathetic. Other than these, there were still a few magazines with yellowed pages.
Yun Yao took a rifle and after allowing Sun Mo to inspect the remaining stuff, she placed them beside him.
“These are hard currencies. You have to be very cautious, do not ever reveal your wealth in public.”
Yun Yao reminded him.
“Just this?”
Sun Mo was astonished.
“Which family’s young master are you?”
Yun Yao rolled her eyes. Even the subordinates of Boss Tang wouldn’t have so many resources. But when she thought of how this handsome guy fired his weapon earlier, she couldn’t help but squirm.
He directly finished using a clip of bullets.
It was very extravagant.
“Sun Mo, in the gathering place, a single bullet is enough to sleep with a young girl my age ten times!”
Yun Yao stretched out her right hand and waved it casually as she spoke.
Sun Mo’s brows were furrowed so tightly that they could squeeze a crab to death.
When Yun Yao, who was secretly glancing at Sun Mo saw this scene, she also heaved a sigh of relief. This was a good person that was worthy to make friends with.
The two of them rested for a night in a ruin. The next morning, they drove the jeep and returned to the base.
This place was originally a subway station. Now, it had become the living abode of 1,000 people.
When the jeep returned, many people here revealed envious expressions. Some children even ran behind it, wanting to come up for a sit.
“Is there no leader in this place?”
Sun Mo surveyed the surroundings and saw no armed forces. There was also no one making inquiries about him who was a stranger.
“Nope. Everyone gathered here for warmth, but the one with the strongest power here is Elder Brother Zhang. If anyone has a conflict, they would usually look for him to settle things. Also, he has a zen-like mindset. Other than doing exploration, he usually spent the rest of his time doing mathematical questions.”
Yun Yao wasn’t an aboriginal born here. When she was young, she followed her mother and came here.
“The management here is so relaxed? It’s truly surprising that this base hasn’t been exterminated!”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched.
“In this place, other than humans, there is nothing else. If Tang Qiao robs this place, the gains he makes will be even lesser compared to the bullets he expends.”
Yun Yao spoke self-mockingly.
In this era, human lives were worth the least.
“Alright, let’s stop the car here!”
Yun Yao indicated for Sun Mo to park the jeep in a car park.
Sun Mo saw Yun Yao heading over to communicate with the soldiers and paid a bullet as the management fee. After that, she took a plastic container.
“The bullet can let us park here for one month. They will help us to guard the vehicle. However, it is best to bring the remaining gas away or it would be stolen.”
Yun Yao imparted this little trick to Sun Mo. She then placed a plastic tube in the car and used her mouth to suck.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Yun Yao used too much force and almost coughed out. However, she wasn’t willing to puke the gasoline on the floor, hence, she covered her mouth.
“Is it necessary? Quickly vomit it out!”
Sun Mo patted Yun Yao’s back to aid her.
Yun Yao pushed Sun Mo away and forcefully bore with the unpleasantness, finally throwing all the gas into the plastic container. “Do you know how much a liter of gas is worth? You can sleep with a young girl like me 500 times!”
“Just 50 bullets?!”
Sun Mo mentally mused at why she was making such strange comparisons.
“Just? Bullets are expendable but gas is not. We have to find an oil refinery before we can get more. If not, why could Tang Qiao become the boss? This is because he made his base at an oil refinery and they have motorized weapons!”
Yun Yao felt that Sun Mo had no knowledge, what a waste of a handsome face.
“…”
Sun Mo found it impossible to rebut because he truly didn’t know how to refine oil.
“Let’s return home!”
Yun Yao led the way.
On the way there, Sun Mo saw many ruined areas. Everyone was living in dilapidated tents and was slovenly dressed. A pungent scent that came about from not showering for a long time lingered in the air.
“Handsome guy, do you want to have a go with me? I just require a piece of ham!”
“I just need a piece of bread!”
“Scram, this place is my territory!” another woman spoke.
Sun Mo only took a few steps and he immediately got propositioned by these women.
“You don’t want to go and relax for a while?”
Yun Yao pursed her tiny lips. “Remember, don’t be cheated. A can of food can allow you to sleep with ten girls at the same time.”
“Huh?”
Sun Mo had a dumbfounded look on his face. (Are these words something a 15-16 years-old girl like you should speak about?)
“Eh? Why do you have such an expression?” Yun Yao was astonished. “Could it be that you are a virgin?”
“…”
Sun Mo suddenly realized that he really was one.
“Haha!” Yun Yao laughed. She involuntarily patted Sun Mo’s shoulder. “You are really a good person!”
“Damn it, but thanks for your praise!”
Sun Mo didn’t want to chat anymore.
Yun Yao was at ease now. She urged Sun Mo to go and ‘relax’ because she was worried that this fellow would have impure motives toward her. She didn’t expect that he was just a harmless younger brother.
Yun Yao’s house was a standalone wooden house with several graffiti paintings on it. But it was quite beautiful to look at them.
Sun Mo involuntarily cast a few more glances at it.
“What are you looking at? Quickly enter the house!”
Yun Yao urged.
Sun Mo sighed. If this girl was living in ordinary society, she might have become a mangaka. In addition, she was very cheerful.
Honestly speaking, Sun Mo felt that if he was living in the era at the end of days, he would have long since become crazy due to the pressure.
“You should rest for a while, I will head out and be back shortly!”
Yun Yao thought about it but still decided to open her bag and take out a few cans of food.
Sun Mo secretly followed and discovered that Yun Yao went to meet a few families.
These people were the family of individuals who were the same as Yun Yao. They had to go out to search for resources. In the end, they died, leaving behind their families.
Everyone couldn’t even be considered comrades, and they were merely acting together. But even so, Yun Yao still took out a portion of valuable food for them.
“You don’t feel heartache?”
After Yun Yao returned, Sun Mo asked her this question.
“I do. A can of food is enough to sleep with me a hundred times!”
Yun Yao licked her lips. “Even I myself have only eaten canned food a few times before!”
“You are a good person!” Sun Mo issued a good person card.
“Ah, in this era, good people die the fastest!”
Yun Yao no longer cared about Sun Mo. She took out a map of the area and started to mark some regions.
“This map isn’t drawn badly. Are you searching for something?”
Sun Mo was curious because Yun Yao’s markings were clearly done through an elimination process.
“Mn, I’m searching for a food supply warehouse!”
If others asked her this question, Yun Yao definitely wouldn’t say anything, but Sun Mo was a good person so she relented. “As long as I can find it, I will instantly become wealthy!”
