34. Chapter 34
Chen Rui took the weekend to walk around the nearby fence, and it took more than half an hour before he pulled the weekend, who was obviously a little tired, towards his home. There are also soldiers patrolling the construction site in shifts, the lights are very dim, and the sound and movement are very small.
"It's finally done, I'm so tired!" Weekend said with a yawn.
Chen Rui stretched out his hand to hold the young man's hand and said, "If you're tired, then let's go quickly, let's go back and rest early, and we'll wait for the rest to be done slowly." ”
"Well, hurry back." After the weekend was over, he pulled Chen Rui and ran, in order to go home and sleep early, the speed was really not slow.
Chen Rui let the young man drag him to run, but after running more than 100 meters, Chen Rui's brows suddenly wrinkled tightly, there was something underground, which was very similar to the feeling of the earth-based ability mutant rat that day, drilling out of the ground to sneak attack. The earth-based elements that originally made him feel more intimate and comfortable were now mixed with strange fluctuations that he hated.
It was a mutant beast, it must be a mutant beast approaching them underground, Chen Rui suddenly grabbed the weekend, and the boulders on the soles of his feet were stacked one by one, four or five meters high. Even so, Chen Rui didn't feel at ease, there were too many weird fluctuations, as if there were countless of them, Chen Rui continued to petrify the ground in a large area, leaving a small part of the open space in front, about three square gaps, Chen Rui was ready to catch turtles in an urn.
Startled by the president's appearance on the weekend, he immediately asked, "What's going on with Brother Chen, why did he stop, could it be, could it be that a mutant beast broke in." ”
Thinking of this, the weekend was shocked, you must know that although the new city was not completed, after a day of hard work, and the new city began to be built a few days ago. The so-called large number of people is powerful, this day joined a lot of earth and rock powers, and there were soldiers who continued to rush to work at night, except for the four entrances and exits, there were still a few kilometers of earth walls, and the others had basically been built on the earth walls, and there were many soldiers patrolling those entrances and exits, how could it be possible for mutant beasts to break into the new city silently.
Unless these mutant beasts can pass through walls or escape to the ground, or they can fly over or jump over, but they didn't see any movement on the ground over the weekend, the mutant beasts are underground. Analyzing that the head here is big on the weekend, the mutant beasts underground, he can't help much, the president of the earth system is very strong, once he intervenes in it, it will cause chaos to the president, it is better not to interfere.
"Whatever you see on the weekend, stay on the rocks and don't come down, it might be a little disgusting to wait for the next scene. Wait until those things appear, you immediately use the water system, and then use the ice system to freeze, don't use the fire system, the fire light at night will attract the attention of zombies and other mutant beasts, even if we kill these mutant beasts, it may attract other more powerful mutant beasts, the gain outweighs the loss.
After hearing the president's reminder on the weekend, he hurriedly replied: "I know Brother Chen, I must be careful to do what you ask, you can deal with the mutant beasts with peace of mind, are they drilled from the ground?" ”
"Well, the flashlight turned on and shone into the ground I left behind." Chen Rui lowered his voice and spoke.
The weekend is the best executor, and when he heard the president's order, he immediately turned on the bright flashlight and shone on the vacant place on the ground. The originally dark ground suddenly appeared, and the black mud suddenly swelled up, and then the black head with a big fist squirming poked out, it was really dense and disgusting, and he didn't have a dense phobia on the weekend, but when he saw this scene, he almost threw up, but fortunately, now dinner is almost digested.
"Brother Chen, what is this, it's too disgusting." After shouting over the weekend, I was ready to use the ice system first according to what the president just said.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhou's hand was grabbed by Chen Rui, Chen Rui shook his head towards Zhou Zhou and said, "Don't worry, there are still a lot of things that haven't come out yet, wait, and solve them once when everything comes out." ”
If he froze the ground right now, and the remaining mutant beasts that came over couldn't come out, wouldn't it be more dangerous for these soldiers who were rushing to work at night.
Not everyone's earth-based ability is as strong as the President's ability to reach deep underground, just like his earth-based ability on the weekend, which doesn't have that function. If his eyes had been black just now, maybe he would have been bitten all over his body by the mouths of those mutant beasts that were like jagged teeth and the size of fists.
Under the strong light, the wriggling mutant insects scrambled to drill out of the ground, this thing was as thick as a baby's arm, about two meters long, and twisted when crawling, the speed was not fast, but it looked quite disgusting.
"What is this, Brother Chen, it's disgusting to look at the thief." Weekend shook the goosebumps on his body and spoke.
Chen Rui looked at the ground with a solemn face and shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's a mutated earthworm, maybe it's some other insect or something, it should also be able to use the soil ability, the individual strength is not strong, but they seem to be able to use the soil ability in groups, I can feel that the ground that is petrified by me is being eroded little by little." ”
After hearing this, Weekend was surprised and said, "They are so powerful, they can also erode the land you petrified, Brother Chen." No, this time we must destroy them, we must not let them escape, it is better to destroy this mutant beast group. ”
"You're right, you have to destroy them, otherwise even if the new city is built, don't think about peace, they are simply the nemesis of the wall." Chen Rui also agreed with what he said over the weekend.
After Chen Rui finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to turn off the strong flashlight in Zhouzhou's hand, he pulled Zhouzhou step by step and retreated to the back side, the mutated earthworms on the ground were gradually surrounded by rocks four or five meters high, and those earthworms felt the vibration of the ground and the breath emitted by the two of them, and kept changing their positions and moving with the two.
After the past two or three minutes, within dozens of squares surrounded by rocks, several layers of mutated earthworms have gathered densely, and these earthworms have hissed in a hurry at this time, and they can smell the fragrance but can't eat it, which makes them irritable.
"It's almost the end of the week, and the petrification will alarm them, and once they're in the mud they're at least ten times faster, and I'm afraid they'll run away. Pour water into this hole over the weekend and I'll lead them into the mud. Then I used ice to freeze the water, and I thought they wouldn't be as easy to run as they were with a layer of ice, and then they were free to play and freeze to death......
On the weekend, he immediately did as the president said, and the hole specially left by Chen Rui of the water system ability quickly flowed down, and soon the mud under the group of mutant earthworms was soaked with a layer of water.
The weekend's ice-based ability quickly froze the ground along the water, and at this time, the mutant earthworms finally realized that something was wrong, but it was too late, and Chen Rui also did it. The thin, soft sand gently turned, and the huge sand ball enveloped all the mutated earthworms, some of which used their abilities to drill out of the sand balls, waiting for them to be frozen immediately.
The sand in the sand ball instantly became sharp from softness, and the countless slender stone thorns inside quickly condensed and dissipated, continued to condense and then dissipate, and many mutant earthworms were stabbed with thousands of holes, but their vitality was tenacious and did not die, and they were still dying and trying to escape.
The sand ball suddenly moved again, countless sand sands with the thorn ball turned rapidly, the mutant earthworm that was still writhing in the sand just now was ground into pieces at this time, and the crystal nucleus was quickly picked out by Chen Rui and brought to his feet, only the size of the little finger There are at least hundreds, and he doesn't need to tell him to put them into the space immediately after seeing them on the weekend.
When all the mutant earthworms were strangled, whether they were on the ground or in the sand ball, they were all gathered together by Chen Rui and packed into a stone ball. Then the petrified ground quickly recovered, and finally it was as if the thrilling qiē just now had not happened, except for the huge stone ball beside Chen Rui.
"Put this stone ball into the space on the weekend, and when we have time, we will burn it, I am worried that once it is left in the mud, maybe other earthworms will also evolve this ability after eating it," Chen Rui said.
Naturally, he would not object to the weekend, and there was still a large empty space in his space now, and it would not be a problem to put ten or eight stone balls.
The two didn't know that they had fought this battle, and they had inadvertently not only saved Xincheng, but also saved the Ningxiang base and countless people.
In my previous life, I hadn't heard of the Ningxiang base at all, and those mutated earthworms were also unlucky, they were killed before they could grow up, otherwise they didn't know how many people would die in their mouths. Once these mutant earthworms grow, their collective earth ability is very powerful, it is a matter of minutes to destroy the wall in an instant, and it is a big killing move to trap a wide area, I don't know how many people have died on this move, and they have been operating underground, even powerful people can't track them at all, these things come and go without a trace.
Not long after the two of them left, a patrol team rushed towards this direction, and a soldier crouched down and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground where the mutant earthworm had just crawled and sniffed it.
"How about the captain," asked the soldier standing guard behind him.
The captain raised his head and said: "It's the mutant beast that appeared, and now it's gone, and there is no movement, it should be related to the light just now, maybe the stranger in the base killed the mutant beast." Okay, since there's nothing to do here, let's go patrol somewhere else first. After the captain finished speaking, he led the group of five people towards the distance.
At this time, Zhou Zhou and Chen Rui had already returned home, took out the key to open the door, the rocks blocked behind the door quickly deserted, lit candles on the weekend, Chen Rui locked the door and the rocks blocked the door again, even if there was the thief who didn't open his eyes to pry open the lock of their house, don't want to get in and steal things.
"Don't bother on the weekend, if you're hungry, eat something, wash up and go to bed, we'll get up early tomorrow morning to work, and we'll have a good rest for two days when the walls of the new city are built." Chen Rui said.
Zhou Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, I'm full at night, I'm not hungry now, I'll go wash up, Brother Chen, I built a big stone bathtub in the bathroom, and I'll put water for you to wash." ”
"Okay, you hurry." After Chen Rui watched the young man walk into the bathroom, a stone platform appeared on the ground, Chen Rui sat cross-legged and began to cultivate, consolidating the earth-based ability, after uninterrupted use at night, Chen Rui had already felt that the door bar of the fourth-level ability began to loosen.
I was a little sleepy on the weekend, and the water condensed by the ability flowed back and forth on my body, but in just a few minutes, I washed off all the sweat and stickiness on my body, and put on clean clothes, which filled the stone bathtub he built when he took a bath last time, and looked at the empty bathroom, and set up a washstand on the weekend, on which were placed some items that he and the president needed, and when I opened the bathroom door and walked out on these weekends, I saw the president practicing cross-legged in the living room.
He didn't bother the president to practice on the weekend, he used the earth-based ability to check the gaps in the doors and windows of the house, and then went back to the bedroom to lie down, and slept like a pig on the weekend after a tiring day, probably at this time, someone beating gongs and drums in his ear couldn't wake him up.
Chen Rui opened his eyes and glanced at it when he walked to the bedroom on the weekend, and then closed his eyes again to practice, and half an hour later, Chen Rui finished his cultivation and walked into the bathroom. Immediately I saw a jar of clean water, and even the washbasin had been set up on the weekend, there were two tooth cups, both with toothbrushes on them, but one toothbrush was placed in it, and one toothbrush was placed horizontally on top of the tooth cup, and the tooth cups were filled with water.
There was also a basin on the sink, which was also filled with water, probably reserved for him to wash his face, and the towels hanging on the sink, one was wet and one was dry, and the dry one was intended for him, and the kid handled it well.
After washing up in a good mood, Chen Rui walked into the bedroom, the young man in the bedroom was sleeping on his back, a drop of saliva fell out of the corner of his mouth, and he muttered to himself, grilled shrimp or something, it should be a dream of deliciousness. Chen Rui shook his head and reached out to wipe the saliva from the corner of the young man's mouth, watching the young man hold his big pillow and turn around to vacate a large space, Chen Rui pulled the blanket over the young man's waist, then sat on the bed and lay down and closed his eyes, the entire big bed plus the hairball that had just fallen off in the bedside table were wrapped in it.
Just after Chen Rui recalled what happened today and the battle, Chen Rui, who was about to fall asleep, was suddenly stunned, the young man actually abandoned his big pillow, turned around and pulled him like an octopus, and found a comfortable place to continue sleeping. Chen Rui lowered his head and stared at the young man for a long time, then he smiled bitterly, let the young man pull him, threw away the messy thoughts in his head, closed his eyes and rested.
The early morning sunlight penetrated into the bedroom, and the weekend blinked his eyes a few times, turned his head and didn't see the president, he patted his head and suddenly sobered up a lot, the windows were opened, and the president must have gotten up.
As soon as he put on his clothes and landed on the weekend's feet, he heard the hairball gurgling, and the weekend knew that the hairball was hungry, so he reached out and rubbed the hairball's head, and the weekend said: "Hairball, you have been eating and waiting to die for many days, and you must find a few edible mutant grasses to come back today, otherwise there will be no lunch to eat." Now your master and I will give you some food, and if you do not find an edible mutant grass in the community and give it to me at noon, you will be hungry at noon and hungry at night. ”
Although he is very fond of hairballs on the weekend, it is not a problem to feed a hairball with his current ability, but the weekend is also worried that if he has an accident that day, who will feed the hairball, even if he gives the hairball TOEFL to the president on the weekend, he is a little uneasy, and finally thinks about it, as long as the hairball can always retain the skill of finding food, then if something happens to him that day, the hairball does not have to worry about no one to raise in this last world, it can find food to eat by itself.
The hairball squatting on the ground deflated his mouth, and his head turned angry, the owner is really stingy, obviously there is something delicious and he wants it to find it, it's so scary outside, there are a lot of long horror bugs, it doesn't go out to find it. It's a pity that no matter what the hairball thinks in his heart, its owner can't understand, after gnawing off twenty grams of pig food, the hairball is still put out the window by the unscrupulous owner to find edible mutant grass.
Watching the hairball rush out like an arrow off the string, he clapped his hands and climbed home from the window on the weekend, and just walked into the living room on the weekend he smelled the strong aroma of rice porridge, and took a deep breath The president even cooked the porridge better than him.
Chen Rui looked at the young man with an intoxicated look and said with a smile: "Get up, I feel like I'm going to wash up, and it's time to eat." ”
On the dinner table, there are more than a dozen beautiful egg cakes on the stone plate, which makes the weekend swallow saliva when they look at it, and they want to pounce on the weekend when they smell it. However, seeing the president staring, he immediately rushed into the bathroom to wash up on the weekend, and it was not good to not pay attention to hygiene. If he remembers correctly, the president seems to have some cleanliness habits, and in order to be able to eat delicious food in the future, of course, the president will not have a chance to hate him on weekends.
ate egg cake with rice porridge and mutant beast jerky, and went to the construction site again with Chen Rui on the weekend. On the weekend before leaving, a small stone nest was built under the bedroom window, and only the furball could get into it, and some grain and grass were placed in it on the weekend, and the furball was very smart and should understand what was going on.
On the weekend, I don't dare to let the hairball go to the construction site to find him, once he is targeted, even if the hairball is only a few taels of meat, the speed is fast enough, but the weekend is still worried that the hairball will be rounded up and grabbed and eaten, after all, even if the hairball evolves in intelligence after the end of the world, it cannot be compared with the wisdom of the human being, the spirit of all things.
After receiving the task, Chen Rui and the weekend went up a dirt wall, Chen Rui pulled the weekend and said in a low voice: "Let me complete the task this time, you fell asleep without cultivating last night, first practice all of them, after replenishing the ability, improve the soil ability, I remember that you have been cultivating the earth ability for a while, and you can try to upgrade it at night." As long as the earth-based ability reaches level 2, it will be beneficial to the other departments, so I'm optimistic about you. ”
After hearing Chen Rui's words, he immediately nodded and said, "Brother Chen, I understand, I forgot to cultivate last night when I was too tired, and I will start cultivating my ability now." ”
Chen Rui took a total of 500 meters this time and the weekend, and he was going to spend a total of morning to do it, with yesterday's experience, it is normal to petrify more today. Many of the Adepts who joined yesterday have also added a lot of tasks today, and more survivors have escaped from the cowering houses today, and many people may have died, but many people have escaped.
There are several times more people working on the wall this morning than yesterday, a large number of earth-based abilities only took one morning to build all the gaps in the new city on the dirt walls, and the rock-based abilities also quickly petrified the walls, and Zhou Zhou and Chen Rui were not conspicuous at all in it.
The new city with the wall finally made the survivors feel some safety, and the weekend and Chen Rui completed the next 1,000 meters of wall by 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and they still had 6,000 contributions left to complete. At the beginning, a house needed the contribution of 10,000 petrified walls, because the house they chose on the weekend was the first floor and the area of the house was small, so the contribution was relatively reduced. Even the military did not expect that there would be so many survivors pouring in yesterday and today, and that the progress of the construction of the new city greatly exceeded the military's plan.
However, the two of them don't have to worry about having no tasks to do on the weekend, because animals will mutate, and the new city has arranged for the petrification of the new city to start petrifying the ground of the new city, and all the plants in the new city must be removed.
When the mission was released on the weekend, Chen Rui immediately took over the task of 5,000 square meters of petrified ground around their house, and the petrified ground needs at least one meter, and the military will send a stone ability to check it at that time, and anything without a depth of one meter is considered unqualified. This time, as long as they finish these tasks on the weekend, the contribution to the purchase of the house will be completed, even if it has not been completed yet, the weekend will be excited, this task is not much, it can be completed in a few days, this is still the result of their leisure.
After eating something and resting for a while, Weekend and Chen Rui began to petrify the ground, where the trees grew, Chen Rui cleaned up the soil from the roots of the trees. On weekends, they were dragged away and piled up with trees tied to their cars, and for this, they also applied to drive their cars in, which is what many paranormal people do. They work together in pairs, and some ask family and friends to help clean up and drag trees.
After the trees are cleared, the remaining vines and the like are easily cleaned up, and the roots are pulled out of the soil and exposed to the sun, and these plants will die quickly. These cleared trees and plants were transported away by the military, and now there are quite a few people in the base, at least twenty or thirty thousand, but not the five or six thousand people who were sparsely pulled yesterday, whether it is cooking or boiling water, they need a lot of fuel, and now the fuel is not easy to obtain in the last days, and these trees will naturally not be wasted.
"Brother Chen, how much have we done, we haven't fallen behind." Weekend shouted, he now understood that if he didn't complete the mission quickly, he might be robbed of it by the new influx of survivors. There are more and more people in the new city, but the place is not big, and the place is not enough, and the high-level people in the new city may not be willing to sell the house.
