Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 136 - Have You Eaten?

Chapter 136: Have You Eaten?

There were still a few hours left before dawn, but people had already woken up. They started their daily work, which included construction, logging, farming, planting, and fetching water.

Liu Siwu woke up early. He was giving everyone working instructions. He was not tired, but he was very strict.

“I’ll leave after teaching you how to survive. You have to treasure this time. Before I leave, it’s best if you find a leader and let him lead you forward. In this world, if you don’t move forward, you will die. You have to remember this!”

Although everyone was a little unhappy, they did not complain. Liu Siwu had once displayed his powerful strength and intimidated everyone. No one dared to complain. On top of that, Liu Siwu had said that he would be leaving soon, so everyone decided to wait a little longer.

At that moment, Xiao Bin rushed out of a cabin. His clothes were a little messy, and he shivered as the wind blew. “This wind is really cold!”

He turned around and glanced at the cabin again. However, he only stole a glance and then started searching for Wei Huo.

Xiao Bin sighed. The girls in the Rose Manor and the camp seemed very enthusiastic. Unfortunately, for the sake of his future ambitions and path of immortality, he could only keep this body pure in case he encountered a heaven-defying cultivation technique that only virgins could cultivate.

Xiao Bin shook his head and sneezed again. He saw Wei Huo sitting alone at the wooden table.

There were still two-thirds of the beer left in Wei Huo’s hand. At that moment, the crowd on the square was getting busier. Xiao Bin saw Wei Huo through the gap between two people.

Xiao Bin’s heart twitched as he looked at Wei Huo. An indescribable pain flooded his heart. It was loneliness. It felt as if Wei Huo’s existence was the source of this loneliness. It seemed as if this loneliness would disappear if Wei Huo was not there.

Xiao Bin suddenly felt that Wei Huo was no longer alone. He was a G.o.d.

This was not the first time Xiao Bin had such a feeling. A few years ago, he had followed his parents to a museum and seen a totem with hundreds of years of history. When he had seen that totem, Xiao Bin had experienced the same feeling.

At that moment, Wei Huo stood up. The lonely feeling immediately disappeared. Wei Huo walked over to Xiao Bin and asked, “Are you staying?”

Xiao Bin shook his head. “I want to follow you. I want to become a powerful being like you!”

Wei Huo looked at Xiao Bin and suddenly felt like he had become an old man who had led the main character to a fortuitous encounter. It was a wonderful feeling, but Wei Huo did not admit that he was an old man.

He left the camp with Xiao Bin. The Tree-Man was already waiting for them.

“Let’s go.”

They stopped after walking for over 100 kilometers. They stopped because they had seen a C-shaped building. The building was completely covered in vines, and there were weeds all over the ground. There were also huge trees all around it, and many of them had collapsed on the ground.

Xiao Bin looked at the C-shaped building, which was completely covered in vegetation, and said, “This is a building from our world, isn’t it? Did this transmigrate centuries ago? How did it end up like this?”

Xiao Bin walked over and tugged at the thick vines. He created a crack and saw what was inside.

There were countless thick vines inside the vines. The vines intertwined with each other, but there was still a long pa.s.sage. No steel or cement could be seen from the inside. After 500 years, the cement had rotted away, but the plants had not.

Wei Huo recalled what had happened in the building.

At first, without any humans and the protection of the golden light, the plants had occupied the building. They had filled every corner of it. Gradually, the cement in the building had begun to fall off and the ground had begun to cave in. Soon, the steel tendons had been exposed and had started rusting and breaking. However, before that could happen, the roots of the vines had coiled around every pillar of the building. As a result, even if everything in the building rotted, the building could still continue standing by using these mutated plants as support.

It was no longer made of steel but of leaves and roots.

Wei Huo and Xiao Bin did not enter because they were worried that the plant structure was not stable enough. However, just as they were about to leave, they heard Chinese coming from the building.

“h.e.l.lo!”

A distant voice came from the depths of the plants and the building. It was accompanied by an echo.

Wei Huo turned his head away while Xiao Bin got excited. “There’s someone inside!”

“h.e.l.lo!”

The voice was heard again, but it was a little weird. Xiao Bin felt his hands and feet turn cold.

“h.e.l.lo!”

The voice kept coming out along with an echo. Saying such a word in such a place made the place seem even weirder.

Xiao Bin asked, “Did you hear that?”

Wei Huo nodded and said, “Come with me!”

Xiao Bin was a little afraid. “Could there be…”

Wei Huo said, “Don’t be afraid of anything. Even if it’s a ghost, it will not harm you. If a ghost kills you, you will become a ghost too. Are you embarra.s.sed about meeting it?”

Xiao Bin was speechless.

He did not feel afraid after hearing Wei Huo’s words.

The two of them pulled apart the vines and walked in. The building was no different from any other building. The walls had turned into thin vines and leaves, and the pillars had turned into thick intertwined vines.

It was a natural building. Yes, there was nothing wrong with it.

Wei Huo and Xiao Bin continued walking. The sounds kept coming, and the leaves rustled in the wind.

At that moment, the voice inside the building changed. “Have you eaten?”

Wei Huo was confused.

Xiao Bin was confused.

“Have you eaten?” The voice was heard again. It sounded weird.

Xiao Bin asked, “Should I answer?”

Wei Huo said, “Don’t make a sound. Don’t alert the things inside.”

The voice said, “Come to my house to eat.”

“Come to my house to eat. Come to my house to eat…” Before, there had only been one voice. Now, a few voices were heard. The voices, which were endless, were getting louder and louder. There was a sudden movement inside the building as if something was approaching them.

Xiao Bin’s hair stood on end. He became nervous and broke out in cold sweat. His heart was in his mouth.

Wei Huo said, “Don’t be nervous. I’ve seen ghosts before. They’re not ghosts.”

Xiao Bin was confused.

How can you be so powerful? Have you seen ghosts before?

The voice inside changed again. “No need, no need, no need…”

“D*mn!” Xiao Bin cursed. He was extremely nervous.

The sound was getting closer. That thing was coming!
