Chapter 727 - 83: Nobu
"Who are you!" A survivor from the fishing village shouted, appearing quite vigilant.
By this point, besides them, there were only some lunatics left, like those from the Rat God Cult in the abandoned factory.
Su Changxing continued his steps, walking towards them unhurriedly, and shouted, "I mean no harm, I’m here to find a person named Nobu, is he here?"
He didn’t make any aggressive moves, fearing that he might cause misunderstandings and lead to a conflict.
Of course, he wasn’t afraid of such conflicts, he just didn’t want to kill people randomly, as these people were essentially ordinary people in this world. Killing them would weigh on his conscience.
"Nobu, someone’s looking for you!"
Someone shouted from outside.
At this moment, Nobu was lying in the room, his once obese body had become skinny, with large patches of rot on his skin, he remained motionless.
Upon hearing someone was looking for him, he opened his eyes, feeling puzzled; he couldn’t imagine who would come looking for him at a time like this, when most people were already dead, and he probably didn’t know the others.
He slowly crawled up from the ground.
"Let me help you."
A woman, her face wrapped with a scarf, said in the room.
Nobu hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, stay away from me. If you want to live longer, stay away from me."
He knew that the plague on him was different, it came from that monster, and even though he wore a gas mask, he was still infected.
The woman, with azure blue eyes, looked at Nobu and tearfully said, "So what, death will come sooner or later, if you die, I don’t want to live either."
The couple had a good relationship; they used to run a shipping business together and only separated after she became pregnant.
Nobu showed an impatient expression: "Why cry, living is good, living one more day is one more day."
"I’ve been thinking, the Rat God Cult over at the factory seems mystical, if worse comes to worst, I’ll join them, it’s better than just waiting for death."
"I’m going out for a bit, to see who would come looking for me at a time like this. Take care of the child, don’t let anyone else in."
Occupying a single house here wasn’t easy either, Nobu looked weak, but when it came to fighting, no one here could beat him.
He was also a bit perplexed, not knowing why he had become so formidable.
When did it start?
It probably started after arriving at Maelon.
He felt this change was related to Su Changxing, after boarding the Horror Ghost Ship, he sensed some strange things.
The real appearance of this world was quite different from what he had seen.
Nobu pushed the door open and walked out, seeing a group of people watching at the outskirts of the fishing village, while someone was walking towards them unhurriedly in the distance.
The person was dressed cleanly, with smooth skin that looked unreal.
Nobu opened his mouth wide, displaying an extremely shocked expression; he recognized that person, Su Changxing, who had been buried alive in the tunnel.
How was he still alive!
He thought that even if Su Changxing hadn’t died back then, being so close to that monster would have killed him from the plague.
Then, he suddenly felt extremely excited, seeing hope, he stepped towards Su Changxing, running over, the rotten wounds tearing, but he didn’t feel the pain.
"My lord, I never thought you’d still be alive, let alone appear here."
Nobu ran over to Su Changxing, breathing heavily with excitement.
But he didn’t get too close, realizing he was plagued.
Su Changxing saw Nobu was still alive and couldn’t help but smile: "Lucky, so I survived, seeing you, it looks like your situation isn’t very good."
Nobu smiled awkwardly, the glasses hanging around his neck were already broken, he hid a severely rotten hand behind his back, "My lord, you’d better not get too close, the plague on me is severe."
Su Changxing casually walked over and patted his shoulder, "It’s okay, this thing doesn’t affect me, I went to the factory over there before, and heard from Weigen that you came here, so I came to take a look."
Nobu showed a surprised expression, his eyes widened: "Weigen, he’s still alive? I thought he must be dead long ago. When we escaped, he held up the sliding iron gate alone, letting the rest of us escape."
Su Changxing was a bit taken aback, not expecting Weigen to have done such a thing, but he didn’t say it himself, "He’s quite loyal, well, but his status isn’t very good now, he was almost starved before."
Nobu looked at Su Changxing, who was alone, and asked: "Where is he now?"
"Still over at the abandoned factory, but the people from the Rat God Cult were mostly killed by me, and the others were subdued, so no big problem."
Su Changxing said lightly.
Subdued?
Nobu didn’t quite understand the meaning of these words, but didn’t ask further, and led the way towards his place, "Let’s go inside and talk, there are too many eyes outside, and some aren’t good people."
Su Changxing was a bit surprised, not expecting Nobu could secure a house here: "Your wife and child are still around?"
Nobu nodded, sighed, and said pathetically: "Yes, that’s fortunate I guess, but because of me, they contracted the plague, even though they escaped, death seems inevitable."
"I just thought if I could live a bit longer, I would try. This city has become like this, being alive is a kind of fortune."
Su Changxing followed Nobu into a small wooden cabin, on the other end of the house sat his wife, with brown long hair and a shrewd look in her eyes, a child a few years old sat behind her.
"This is Lady Liu Luola." Nobu introduced his wife.
His wife nodded slightly, showing respect, "Lady Liu Luola."
Nobu also introduced to Su Changxing: "My wife, Letty, she was from Maelon originally; we met here."
"Pity such a nice place was destroyed by the plague."
Su Changxing sat on a wooden bench, observing the interior of the house, and asked, "How’s the ship? Have you been there?"
Luo Bu nodded and said: "Yes, because you disappeared, the ship stayed in place, it can’t move."
"I didn’t go on it because I was infected with the plague; I just told them not to come down."
When Su Changxing left, he had placed a lot of food and water on the ship, enough for Kasmin and the others for several months.
Compared to the situation here, the ship was like paradise, at least there was no threat to life, and they could live healthily.
Su Changxing nodded, considering, and said: "We’ll go take a look later, bring your wife and child."
Nobu didn’t quite grasp Su Changxing’s meaning for a moment, and emphasized: "We’re all plagued, we can’t board the ship, we’d implicate them."
"No matter what, I can’t do such a thing, and..."
Su Changxing waved his hand, smiling, and said: "No need to worry about that, I’ve already cured the plague on you."
"Even if my plague is cured..."
Nobu widened his eyes, only then reacting, looking at his own rotten hands, trembling as he asked, "Is the plague on me really cured?"
Letty, who had been watching from the side, also widened her eyes involuntarily.
