Chapter 13: Going ashore
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, the fire had been extinguished.
The dust in the sky did not dissipate for a long time.
The entire world was shrouded in fog and shadows.
The sun could not be seen in the sky, and the world was very dark.
Luo Fan had come ashore.
The octopus limbs stepped on the ground again and sent Luo Fan to the shore along the slope.
This world had been burned by a huge fire, and all the living things had probably died.
However, Luo Fan guessed that there would be creatures that had not been completely burnt. Those creatures would be his source of food.
The few octopus limbs carried his body forward. The air was emitting a stifling heat.
Due to the smoke, Luo Fan’s eyes could only see a distance of tens of meters ahead.
“There shouldn’t be any living creatures here. This huge fire has burned this entire city. I wonder what has happened?”
When he got ashore, he saw the more familiar sights around him. Those abandoned streets. Luo Fan looked a little moved.
“Did something happen after I died? Why is this place full of dead people? I have not heard of so many deaths before this. Perhaps, after I died, something strange happened to the world.”
Luo Fan slowly walked forward. He was thinking about what had happened here.
After walking for about two hours, Luo Fan found a supermarket that had survived the fire.
This place had not been engulfed by the large fire. To be precise, it had not been drenched with diesel. Therefore, when the flames extended to this place, the huge blaze gradually disappeared.
Luo Fan’s eyes lit up. Food had arrived.
He quickly urged his body to crawl into the supermarket.
Food. With food, he could evolve and live better in this world.
The glass of the supermarket had shattered. It looked like it had been cracked by the high temperature.
He crawled through the crack and entered the supermarket.
The plastic shelves had already melted and collapsed on the ground, like melted candles.
Luo Fan walked forward. Some of the food, which had been wrapped on the outside in plastic bags, had been completely curled up by the plastic.
“Sigh!”
Seeing this, Luo Fan sighed.
“I wonder if I can still eat this.”
Then, he waved his intestines to pick up a plastic mass. With great effort, he peeled off the plastic on the outside and exposed the food inside.
This was a piece of bread, but it was already very charred.
Luo Fan did not mind. He used his intestines to absorb a small piece and started to digest it.
He did not have any taste buds, so he did not care what the bread tasted like.
Not long after.
“It is still edible and it still has some of the nutrients that it was supposed to have. It looks like the fire did not destroy everything.”
The remnants of the charred bread had not been completely burnt. It still retained the original nutrients.
“Then there should be other food to eat here. I’ll use this place as a temporary shelter.”
Two hours after he had come ashore, Luo Fan found the first food base.
With the food here, he could still survive in this world for one or two more months.
Then, Luo Fan started to walk around the supermarket.
This supermarket was one of those large supermarkets with all kinds of daily necessities, fruits, and vegetables.
Going in the entrance, Luo Fan also saw the fruit section.
However, at this moment, the fruits had all been roasted and were beginning to rot.
Although the fire had left the city devoid of life, the microorganisms were still preserved, although there were fewer.
These fruits and vegetables were also excellent breeding grounds for bacteria, so these fruits were beginning to rot.
“I can eat them even if they are rotten.”
Luo Fan silently remembered this place in his heart and turned his eyeball to look elsewhere.
After walking around for a while, Luo Fan had seen enough and memorized the topography of the supermarket.
Then, he looked at a door in the supermarket.
“What is this place?”
Luo Fan climbed up and climbed in through one of the broken places.
He saw that the surrounding shelves were arranged neatly. There were also thermal containers on them. The floor was still a little damp.
“It’s a cold store.”
With just one look, Luo Fan was able to determine what was in front of him.
It should be the cold store of the supermarket.
Luo Fan crawled over and came to a foam box.
The spiked tails were activated and they pierced the duct tape around the foam box.
He spun around the foam box, and the tape around it was cut by the spiked tails.
There might have been a large amount of ice here, so this place was not damaged by the fire.
The foam box was opened, and Luo Fan saw what was inside.
The rotten fish were piled up like mud in the foam box.
If Luo Fan had a sense of smell, he would definitely be able to smell a pungent stench at this moment.
However, he could not sense the stench at this moment. All he could see was that the meat mud had already rotted beyond recognition.
“Could this store be full of such rotten fish and prawns?!”
Luo Fan looked across the entire store. There were about hundreds of foam boxes.
“With so much food, my size will increase again.”
Luo Fan had a feeling that if he were to absorb all the food here, he could reach the size of half a person.
“Phew!”
Then, Luo Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart.
“Then prepare to absorb it.”
Luo Fan stretched his intestines into the foam box and sucked at the rotten fish which had already been decomposed.
The meat, which had already been decomposed by the bacteria, could be absorbed directly into Luo Fan’s intestines without Luo Fan having to break it down.
As such, his absorption rate was very fast.
At the same time, his size was also slowly increasing.
The fist-sized eyeball was growing.
It took Luo Fan two days to absorb the entire box of rotten meat.
Time did not seem to be that important to Luo Fan anymore. He inserted his intestines, and two days of absorption passed without him realizing it.
This box of rotten meat was equivalent to more than half of the big black fish at the bottom of the river. Altogether, Luo Fan had only absorbed half of the black fish, the rest was either decomposed by bacteria or still left on the fish bones.
His mass had now reached 1.5 kg, and his size had also increased significantly.
The size of the eyeball was almost the size of a baby’s head.
“Prepare to absorb the next box.”
Luo Fan had accidentally stumbled upon a good place. If he could absorb all the meat here, he would definitely reach a terrifying size.
Just imagine, a huge eyeball as tall as half a person, wouldn’t anyone be frightened?
Then, Luo Fan crawled toward the second box of rotten meat.
With ease, he used his spiked tails to open the second box of rotten meat.
His intestines had just gone inside, but the results were different from the first box.
“Why is there no rotten meat?”
Luo Fan’s intestines went in, but the box was empty.
“What’s going on?”
He grabbed and lifted the entire box. At this moment, he realized that there was a small hole under the box.
The rotten meat in the box might have disappeared from that small hole.
Luo Fan suddenly sensed that something was wrong. He put down the box and came to another box.
The intestines grabbed the box, lifted it gently, and it was lifted up as well.
Another box with a hole in it.
Then, Luo Fan found many more boxes. Basically, all of them had holes at the bottom, and there were no fish or prawns inside.
“What’s going on? Has another creature come here besides me?”
As Luo Fan was thinking, he suddenly felt a vibration. It was the vibration of someone stepping on the ground..
