Chapter 698: Unless It’s Headed Toward Me! Part 3 Translation
In the evening, Li Hu set up a defensive formation and had the team ready to defend or counterattack any enemies that might charge out after the door was opened.
However, now, even looking at the door was a form of respect for the enemy behind the door.
Moments later, it was getting closer to midnight.
After finis.h.i.+ng the soup in his bowl, Li Hu forcibly took half of the portion meant for the soldier that spoke the most in their team of 50 people as punishment.
Li Hu simply sat on the ground, just like the others, and his eyes stared blankly at the night sky of the wasteland.
It had a similar view to Earth but was not entirely identical.
There was a bright moon and stars in the night sky of the wasteland.
These stars were like countless shattered jades scattered all over the sky. They were like shooting stars that exuded a mesmerizing glow.
…..
After appreciating the view for a while, Li Hu began feeling sleepy. Suddenly, a meteor suddenly flashed across the sky and entered everyone’s sight.
“Look! It’s a meteor!”
On Earth, meteors were not rare, and meteor showers were not difficult to find.
The unfortunate thing for most ordinary people was that it was not easy to see a meteor with naked eyes in their lifetime.
Everyone raised their heads and instantly saw the s.h.i.+ning meteor when the first person exclaimed.
The meteor had a long blue-gray trail that followed behind it as it slowly traveled in the sky, causing a long stream that s.h.i.+ned brightly.
The soldiers could not hold back their astonishment and began to stand up.
Some had their eyes glued on it, closely watching as it moved across the sky with unreadable expressions on their face.
Some reverently put their hands on their chests and began to make wishes according to the earth’s customs.
Some people subconsciously touched their trouser pockets and wanted to take out their phones to take pictures but immediately chuckled after they realized they were in the wasteland.
There was a small commotion among the soldiers, and Li Hu, who was sleepy, immediately recollected himself.
Unwillingly, he stood up and glanced in the direction everyone was looking.
It was a miraculous yet very ordinary sight.
For a person like Li Hu, who was not very sentimental, it was more realistic for him to think about whether he could add a few extra slices of beef to his noodles for breakfast the next day than to appreciate the meteor.
“Okay, that’s enough. It’s just a meteor. Why do you guys have to be so noisy about it?
“Go back to what you’re doing. Instead of sitting down and having a good rest, you guys rather waste time appreciating such nonsense.
“What’s so good about it? Unless it’s headed toward me, It’s not worth my time to look at it!” Li Hu scolded and chased everyone away.
Li Hu ruined the atmosphere for the soldiers, leaving them with no choice but to sit down and rest.
However, one of the soldiers longingly took another glance at the night sky again and shouted, “Captain! The meteor seems to be really headed our way!”
Everyone raised their heads subconsciously and instantly spotted the meteor that seemed to have found its home, traveling at a terrifying speed toward where everyone was resting.
At such speed, they had about thirty to forty seconds at most before the meteor hit the ground!
“F*CK!”
