Chapter 42

Lilliath was in low spirits all night, and Gu Ding chose to remain silent, afraid that he would say something wrong.

The long night ended in silence, and the sky finally brightened.

Gu Ding woke Lilliath up, and after eating some compressed food, the two finally set off.

"How's your stamina?" Gu Ding was not optimistic about Lilliath's stamina. She was young and small, and generally, her stamina was not very strong.

"You don't have to worry about her. She's a Rank 2 Gene Body. That giant sniper rifle yesterday weighed at least twenty kilograms, and it was like a toy to her. You should worry about yourself." Neptune saw through Lilliath at a glance.

"You don't have to worry about my stamina. I've been professionally trained in this area since I was a child." After a moment of calming down, Lilliath's low spirits finally lifted a little. She summoned her Firearms Combat Armor and transformed it into two silver pistols. After pressing on the silencer and bullets, she hung them on her waist.

"You have a limited number of bullets. Let me do the best I can." Gu Ding also summoned his Combat Armor.

Seeing Gu Ding's Combat Armor, Lilliath was a little stunned. She did not expect Gu Ding to have Combat Armor too. Hearing Gu Ding's words, she nodded. "Okay."

The two jumped down from the volcano one after the other, and ran all the way in the direction of the shipyard.

Gu Ding only used half of his speed at first. Lilliath pouted. "You should go full speed, it's too slow."

Hearing this, Gu Ding had no choice but to increase his speed, but Lilliath kept up with him easily. When she saw Gu Ding looking at her, she explained, "Because of my family, I've been trained in all kinds of survival skills since I was a child. Physical training is just the simplest of them."

Seeing that Lilliath still had the energy to speak and was not panting at all, Gu Ding finally believed what the little girl said was true. He had thought she was just trying to be brave. He was finally relieved and focused all his attention on the road ahead. "Follow me closely. Call me if you can't keep up."

Lilliath knew that Gu Ding did not want to be distracted in such a dangerous place, so she said that. However, it was not difficult for her to keep up with Gu Ding. So far, she had only used seventy percent of her speed.

The two of them soon encountered the virus-infected beasts, and three of them appeared at once. Lilliath placed her hands on the two guns at her waist. If Gu Ding could not take on three of them at once, he would have to take care of the rest himself.

Gu Ding's speed did not slow down as he rushed forward. His figure flickered continuously, and in an instant, he threw two punches and a kick. The heads of the three monsters exploded almost at the same time, which surprised Lilliath.

"What a terrifying body technique!" It was Lilliath's first time witnessing Gu Ding's strength. Seeing Gu Ding leave without looking back, she, who had slowed down, sped up to catch up.

Throughout the five hours, Gu Ding did not slow down at all. Even when he encountered monsters that blocked his way, he dealt with them in an instant without wasting a single second. Lilliath, who was on edge, did not have a chance to make a move. When she saw Gu Ding gradually slowing down, she knew that he was at his limit and needed to rest for a while.

Gu Ding finally stopped in his tracks under a big tree.

Lilliath climbed up the tree and shouted at Gu Ding in a low voice, "Come up, it's safer up in the tree than down below."

"She's right. The branches and leaves of the tree can block the monsters' line of sight. Also, this tree is so tall that it will affect the monsters' sense of smell to a certain extent. More importantly, most non-feline monsters don't know how to climb trees, "Neptune explained.

Gu Ding had learned these things when he was in the Military Academy. They were all taught in survival training. He only remembered it when Lilliath and Neptune mentioned it.

After climbing up the tree in two or three steps, Gu Ding sat on a branch and leaned his back against the trunk to recover his strength. Lilliath, on the other hand, took on the role of a lookout. She did not put in much effort along the way and was just running behind Gu Ding. She felt a little embarrassed.

"We shouldn't be discovered for a while. Also, there are a lot of monster corpses along the way. The other monsters will definitely finish eating them before catching up. "Gu Ding had a certain understanding of these virus-infected creatures.

"Your body technique is good." Lilliath's words were actually a compliment.

"Thank you. I saw your marksmanship yesterday. It was also very good." Gu Ding smiled.

"How far is the shipyard?"

"About four hundred kilometers." Gu Ding silently calculated. Out of the six hundred kilometers, he had only walked two hundred kilometers.

"At this speed, we should be able to reach it in about twenty-two hours. There are still thirty-four hours until nightfall. If there are no accidents, we should be able to reach it before nightfall. " Lilliath had been on this planet for so many days that she knew the duration of day and night on this planet. Her calculations included Gu Ding's rest time, so it was relatively accurate.

Gu Ding's strength was constantly recovering. Half an hour was almost over when suddenly, there was a beast's roar from not far away.

Lilliath's heart tightened. Through the gaps in the leaves, she caught a glimpse of a behemoth more than ten meters tall walking in their direction. She turned her head and made a shushing gesture to Gu Ding, then whispered, "It's a big one. Stick close to the trunk and don't let it see you."

Gu Ding nodded and stood up. He pressed his body against the trunk and turned his back in the direction of the monster. The thick tree trunk completely covered the two of them.

However, the giant beast's voice was getting closer and closer. Gu Ding and Liliath could even feel the branches under its feet trembling slightly with every step it took.

"This is a guy comparable to a Rank 3 Gene Body. You two don't have a good chance of winning. Be careful and avoid it! "Neptune reminded in Gu Ding's ear.

Behind the trunk, the two did not dare to breathe as they waited patiently for the giant beast to leave. A few minutes later, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the giant beast's footsteps slowly getting further away.

However, at that moment, a monster scurried past the giant beast not far away. The giant beast saw it and immediately chased after it. The monster panicked and ran in the direction where Gu Ding and Lilliath were hiding, and the giant beast chased after it.

Lilliath's eyes flashed as she looked at the approaching monster. The Combat Armor in her hand changed back to the heavy sniper rifle she wore the night before. She quickly installed a silencer and loaded a magazine. She aimed at the monster and pulled the trigger.

There was only a slight 'thud' before Gu Ding saw the monster suddenly fall to the ground. Its body was less than two hundred meters away from the tree.

The giant beast was stunned when it saw the monster suddenly fall to the ground. However, it immediately rushed up to pick up the monster's body, tore it apart, and stuffed it into its mouth. After burping, it twitched its nose as if it was sniffing something.

"Have we been discovered?" Gu Ding frowned and looked away. This kind of hunting monster was very vigilant. Even a simple line of sight could attract its attention.

Lilliath's palms were also sweaty. She leaned against the trunk and did not dare to look in the direction of the giant beast.

Both of them hid there anxiously, hoping that they could escape this calamity.
