The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 205 Another Lu Yuan

To be honest, Lu Yuan didn't feel like he had been reborn at all. He followed Yang Xiao's words and gradually put himself into the situation, but it all felt so unreal.

“I don’t have that feeling you have.” Lu Yuan shook his head. “I really don’t feel like I’ve been reborn at all.”

"Could you be a time traveler?" Zhong Qiang took a sip of his carbonated drink, let out a satisfied burp, and then said, "Aren't time travel and rebirth usually the main themes in novels? Or are you a time traveler?"

"A person who traveled back from the interstellar era?" Yang Xiao sat up as well, scrutinizing Lu Yuan carefully. "An interstellar waste who traveled back a hundred years?"

“Indeed, with your physique, Lu Xiaoyuan, you would either be a useless character or an unawakened protagonist in a space novel.” Zhong Qiang thought for a moment and then nodded. “You are the protagonist in our story right now.”

"Can't a reborn father be the main character?" Yang Xiao threw an empty beverage bottle at Zhong Qiang.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm just a supporting character for you guys. Please call me the supporting character who makes a comeback." Zhong Qiang caught Yang Xiao's empty bottle and then showed off his muscles.

"But what you said isn't impossible. A useless interstellar person accidentally travels back to Earth almost a hundred years ago, loses his memory, and kills someone who looks exactly like him. Then he is raised as their son by that person's family..." Yang Xiao started to let his imagination run wild, and Zhong Qiang believed him.

“Someone who looks exactly like me…” Lu Yuan has been dreaming about the night he got the space ring lately, even though he hasn’t thought about that night for a long time.

"What? Do you have something in mind?" Yang Xiao asked, noticing what Lu Yuan was thinking. He leaned closer, looking like he wanted to help.

"Have I told you how the spatial ring came about?" Lu Yuan turned around and asked Yang Xiao.

“No.” Yang Xiao simply got out of bed and sat down next to Lu Yuan, saying, “Tell us in detail, and maybe we can help you analyze it.”

"I was looking for a job that day..." Lu Yuan took a sip of milk tea and began to recount in detail the whole process of how he obtained the spatial ring.

"You're saying you booked a room with someone whose face you can't even remember now?" Yang Xiao asked, biting into a fries and looking intently at Lu Yuan.

"Well, actually I didn't really need it at the time, but I don't know why I went with that person..." Lu Yuan blushed a little embarrassedly.

"But in the end nothing happened, yet you got a ring?" Yang Xiao stroked his chin. "Are you really sure nothing happened?"

"I..." Lu Yuan carefully recalled himself that day, "I didn't feel any physical discomfort, so nothing should have happened."

"Lu Xiaoyuan, you're pretty bold." Yang Xiao put another fries in his mouth, gesturing for Lu Yuan to continue.

"Isn't a girl who's soft and sweet appealing?" Zhong Qiang, a straight man, felt quite uncomfortable hearing Lu Yuan and Yang Xiao say this, but due to Yang Xiao's domineering presence, he could only mutter to himself.

"I have no recollection of what happened after that. When I came to, I already had my dad's freezing paperwork." Every time Lu Yuan recalls that period of time, he still unconsciously tries to remember the days he lost, but he can't remember anything each time.

“Then we’ll use Wei Guo and Gu Nanfeng’s testimonies to fill in the gaps in your memory from these past few days. Maybe that will help you remember?” Yang Xiao said, then took out a pen and paper from under the small table and began to write and draw.

Before long, several pages of comics were presented to Lu Yuan and Zhong Qiang. Although it was in the style of comics, the characters in the drawings were drawn quite well and they could be recognized at a glance.

"Holy crap, Dad, aren't you a sculptor?" Zhong Qiang was absolutely blown away. As someone who loves anime and manga, having such a treasure of a friend is such an amazing thing.

“Art knows no boundaries,” Yang Xiao said, arranging the comic pages in order and laying them out on the table. He then began, “This is my understanding, for reference only…”

Yang Xiao's comic depicts the four days Lu Yuan lost his memory, according to Gu Nanfeng and Wei Guo's accounts at the time. On the day Lu Yuan received the spatial ring, he returned home and went straight to his room, never coming out again.

The next day, when Lu Yuan went out, Gu Nanfeng noticed that Lu Yuan had taken two bottles of aged Chinese liquor and several cartons of cigarettes. At first, Gu Nanfeng thought Lu Yuan planned to use these to pull strings at the hospital, but when Lu Yuan returned that evening, he was still carrying these items.

Gu Nanfeng, being such a smart person, immediately guessed that Lu Yuan probably wanted to sell these things to pay for his father's medical expenses. Gu Nanfeng was willing to help at the time, but unexpectedly, Lu Yuan left early on the third day, and then the things were gone.

On the fourth day, after paying the medical bills and freezing his father, Lu Yuan regained consciousness at the city center hospital. He then returned to school. The zombie virus broke out, and Wei Guo came to hunt down Lu Yuan because he was selling cigarettes and alcohol without a license.

"Then the problem is quite obvious. During the days you lost your memory, there was clearly a consciousness controlling you. This consciousness used this space and resolved your father's medical expenses in the shortest possible time." Yang Xiao pointed to a character in the comic who looked a lot like Lu Yuan.

“Ask a question!” Zhong Qiang, sitting opposite the two, raised his hand. Yang Xiao glanced at him and nodded, signaling Zhong Qiang to continue.

“He could have sold more cigarettes and alcohol, earned enough money, and then used it all to pay for your father’s surgery!” Zhong Qiang continued.

“He didn’t do that, but chose to freeze my dad…” Lu Yuan looked at the comics on the table and suddenly his eyes lit up. “There are so many supplies in the space, which means he knows that a zombie virus outbreak is coming.”

"So, you weren't reborn, but there might be another Lu Yuan in this world." Yang Xiao stroked the last piece of white paper in his hand, thought for a moment, and then started drawing on the paper again.

"There is another Lu Yuan in this world, and this Lu Yuan is the one who was reborn or transmigrated..." As he spoke, Yang Xiao presented two similar characters in his writing: one was the Lu Yuan who was currently by their side, and the other was a Lu Yuan they had never met...

"Hiss..." Just as Lu Yuan saw Yang Xiao's last comic, he felt a splitting headache. Many scenes that were clearly from Yang Xiao's comics suddenly appeared clearly in his mind. As the memories continued to flood in, Lu Yuan felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, as if he had fallen into the depths of a bottomless abyss, making it difficult to even breathe...
