Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 10: Lava [Complete]

1251: Bohemia's Joyful Day

Seeing Lin Sanjiu's back motionless for a while, Bohemia managed to say, "She's... dead?" 

Puppeteer sighed. "It's a nice thought, but unfortunately, she's only in a state of fake death."

'Fake... fake death!'

Bohemia breathed a sigh of relief. No, she wasn't being overly sentimental. After all, they had been together for such a long time. Even if the other person was annoying, she might have been used to it by now; of course, she couldn't accept it if Lin Sanjiu suddenly died.

"Sir, why did you put her in a fake death state?" she said, flipping Lin Sanjiu over and checking her breathing, reflexively pulling her hand back.

However, she didn't get an answer.

"Wait here for a few days," Puppeteer said as a group of building materials assembled into a structure behind him. In just a short while, it took shape. He glanced at the endless road they had been walking for half a month, then turned around and said, "Get me some clean water."

Of course, there was no water source on the road, but barren mountains on one side and fields on the other. Who knows, they might all be pocket dimensions turned into a doomsday. They couldn't just let Bohemia go searching for clean water, right? Although her injuries weren't serious, and she was almost fully healed by now, entering a pocket dimension for a bit of water would be so much trouble. It was better to send just one person.

"If you can't go, then go as a puppet."

"Let's go!" Bohemia said, patting Yuan Xiangxi's shoulder. "Hurry!"

"What about her?" He wasn't affected by the slap on his shoulder and stooped to look at Lin Sanjiu. His long hair slid down his ear like water, swaying in the air. "By leaving her like this, could she die for real?"

After Puppeteer was respectfully installed onto the elevated structure and disappeared behind the dark red curtain, Bohemia whispered in Yuan Xiangxi's ear, "The clean water Puppeteer asked us to find might be for Lin Sanjiu. Just think about it: If he needs a large amount of water that two people can bring back, it shouldn't just be for drinking. Since he has a way, let's leave her here for now."

Yuan Xiangxi looked up, his eyes shining, his expression light. He seemed to have discovered a delicious little cake, saying, "I might have misjudged him. He's a pretty decent guy."

If Puppeteer was a decent guy, then she must be the mother of the world. Bohemia muttered, "Are you scolding him?" while surveying the area on both sides of the road.

She didn't want to go into the mountains. The fields looked peaceful on the other side of the basin, but who knew what they were planting in those lush green areas? If there were still some unharvested tomatoes, corn, chickens, and ducks... Her mouth watered at the thought. She commanded Yuan Xiangxi, "Go and look in the field."

Seeing the white figure disappear outside the fence, Bohemia hesitated for quite a while, and the small white dot eventually appeared again, waving at her from afar. "No problem at all!"

"No one there?" Such a confident statement made her suspicious.

"I didn't see anyone, only an abandoned village!"

The presence of a village meant that people had been here before, and where there had been people, there might have been something to eat. When Bohemia regained her senses, one of her legs was already outside the fence. She used Higher Consciousness to envelop herself and cautiously walked a few steps down the basin. Feeling nothing unusual, she hastened her steps toward Yuan Xiangxi.

"Are you sure there's nothing there?" She ran through the wild grass, raising her voice to call out to his shadow. "You're not alive, so many things might ignore you!"
