30. Chapter 30
The rain kept falling, the wind was a little weaker, and the darkness was still full, but the weekend felt much better, and the hairballs that had been placed on the side of the stone wall to shelter from the rain suddenly squeaked, and the weekend's eyes were immediately fixed on the roaring river.
Chen Rui had been on high alert, and the hundred-meter water area covered with fine sand around him shook slightly, and he immediately knew that something was stirring the fine sand, and then the hairball squeaked.
frowned, and then as if he wanted to understand, Chen Rui's brows relaxed, it seems that the hairball he raised on the weekend is not only a foodie, but also a warning. In Chen Rui's eyes, this is better than looking for mutated fruits, after all, it is a matter of life, and he can't guarantee that he can always guard the young man's side, and Maoqiu, he will not forget it when he goes there on weekends, not to mention that the little guy seems to love to follow behind the weekend buttocks.
"Brother Chen must have something approaching, otherwise the hairball wouldn't have screamed," Weekend stared nervously at the water, but the sky was too dark, except for a trace of reflection on the water surface, he didn't even dare to turn on the flashlight, for fear of scaring away the mutant beast that had been tempted by the difficulty.
Mutant beasts are much smarter than simple animals, not only do they have a body, but they also have a lot of brains. In particular, the mutant beasts in the water are particularly timid, and they will be discovered if they are not careful, and then they will immediately flee, and it is not easy to catch them, which is also the reason why the seafood river is scarce after the end of the world. Of course, those who are bold and dare to show their heads are not something that ordinary people can move, after all, the strength of the mutant beasts that increase with the same guts must not be too weak, and ordinary people are absolutely no different from delivering food.
Weekend nervously grabbed Chen Rui's hand on the side, lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Chen has something in the water, what is it." ”
Chen Rui turned his head to look at the young man who was very close to him, even if his voice was very low, his tone was still on his face, warm and itchy. Tightening his mind to prevent himself from falling into a certain situation, Chen Rui lowered his voice and coughed for a while before he spoke: "Your earth-based ability has been upgraded to level 1 over the weekend, and the fine sand can spread over a wider area, try it, slowly and gently don't alarm the things in the water, and then distribute the fine sand evenly." When the time comes, you will be able to feel the approximate shape of the stirring sand, don't worry, take your time, I'll help you out. ”
Hearing Chen Rui's words on the weekend, he understood that the president was teaching him how to use the ability, he liked to gather sand into earth balls, and then compress the soil balls into stone balls and then sand again, but he never thought of spreading the sand all over the place, it turned out that the sand still has such a magical use.
Raise your wrist and condense a stone ball in the palm of your hand, the stone quickly sands, and the fine sand spins with the ability push, turning faster and faster, and the spacing of the fine sand is getting larger and larger, and gradually the fine sand spreads all over the range of more than ten meters in front of the weekend, a good circle, and then there is no way to increase even one more meter on the weekend.
Chen Rui sensed the situation on the weekend, and finally he shook his head, it seems that he still needs to practice more on the weekend, and there is no way to flexibly use the earth-based abilities, let alone the other abilities. "On weekends you can try to spread the sand all over the rectangle, oval, or rope like a length, and you can't just rotate it into a circle, which is very inconvenient and laborious to probe......"
Hearing Chen Rui's words, he nodded, but he finally knew how big the thing was stirring in the water in front of him, about half a meter long, as if there were many of them. Weekend looked at Chen Rui suspiciously, how did he feel like a large group, Chen Rui smiled and said: "It's okay now, don't be afraid to alarm them Turn on the flashlight to see what it is, the threat shouldn't be big." ”
After getting Chen Rui's assurance, he immediately turned on the bright flashlight on the weekend, and immediately saw that the water on the edge of the huge stone thorn was stirred, and from time to time, slender pliers poked out to pick up a piece of meat. The weekend immediately exclaimed: "Brother Chen, this is a group of crayfish, it's so good, it's so good, it's a whole group......"
Chen Rui looked at the young man's gaffe and shook his head funny: "A whole group is right, about a dozen, but it's not crayfish, it's river shrimp, they are half a meter long, I caught them all, wait for you to put them away." ”
After Chen Rui finished speaking, the sand all over the water suddenly gathered in the middle, and one after another half-meter-long river shrimp were shot through the brain by the fine sand arrows to bring out the crystal nucleus, and then they didn't have to be transported back to the river, and they were directly collected into the space by the spatial ability that was poked out with the fine sand on the weekend, Chen Rui looked at the young man around him, this kid is really learning and using it, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to use the earth ability when he encounters water in the future.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui suddenly noticed that he seemed to be quite stupid, his mind was imprisoned in the earth ability, and the weekend was different from him, he only had the earth ability, and he had already learned the water ability on the weekend. It's a land full of water, and there's a better environment than this moment to exploit water-based abilities.
As soon as he thought of it, Chen Rui said: "There is water all around here on the weekend, I made a mistake in letting you use sand, you try it with water-based abilities, and you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." As long as you can vaporize the condensed water balloon, if you can't do it, you can drip it first, you can take it slowly, and if you can learn the lightning ability in the future, then the water balloon drizzle is definitely a group killing skill. ”
Hearing Chen Rui's words over the weekend, it suddenly became clear to him, what the president said was right, he may not be able to raise every ability to a high level, but he can dig out how to use them, even if a low-level water ability can drizzle, that high-level thunderbolt will definitely have to fall a large piece.
Thinking of this over the weekend, I can't help but laugh three times, there are too many harvests today, the water ability and the fire ability, the president also opened a door to cultivation for him, this prospect is not too good, the weekend is almost jealous of his good luck in this life, why didn't he meet the president in his last life, it was really a big loss.
What he didn't know on the weekend was that he had actually encountered it in his previous life, but at that time he had become a cold corpse, and only Maoqiu followed the president to eat and drink spicy ......
After three or four hours, the rain gradually stopped, and the wind weakened a lot. At the beginning, the mutant shrimp, and later Chen Rui said that the little white fish, that is a finger-like fish of more than ten centimeters before the end of the world, this time the big water does not know where to attract them, a group of more than 20, each with a small half a meter, ready to wait for the roast to eat on the weekend, the taste must be delicious.
After that, they also caught a big crab on the weekend, which is much bigger than a crayfish, and it is estimated that it must be at least three meters big on the weekend, if it is not for the president's strength, they may not be able to kill, the shell is like the skin of an armored car, and even a knife can't be cut, or the president is ingenious, and the sand arrow drills into the crab's mouth and destroys the brain before it catches. There is nothing else to gain, there are still a few crucian carp fat heads, but they should still be mutating when they grow older, and the crystal nucleus is not ready to give Sun Yi a stew over there on the weekend.
"It's time for us to go back on the weekend, the rain has stopped and the wind has become much lighter, and those mutant beasts on land may start to come out to feed, if this smell provokes one or two, I can solve it, if it is a group of land, I may not be able to solve it." Chen Rui said to the young man who had been smiling, today's harvest is really good.
On the weekend, I was thinking about giving those few to the people in the classroom to stew soup, and when I heard Chen Rui's words, I nodded and said: "Okay, let's go back now, the rain is about to stop, the water should be able to recede soon, we should be able to leave for the base early tomorrow morning, this is not good sleep for mutant beasts and zombies outside." Brother Chen, let's go, by the way, Brother Chen wants to put this head into the space? Otherwise, it's not good to attract big guys......"
"No, just sand the stone thorns," as Chen Rui's words fell, the stone thorns that originally fixed the head of the mutant dog quickly turned into sand and melted in the river, and the head of the mutant dog was also carried by the current and quickly rushed downstream.
Weekend looked at the decoy that was far away and said, "Brother Chen, let's go back." ”
Just when he put the hairball in his pocket and turned around on the weekend, Chen Rui's brows furrowed violently, and he stumbled into the stone house on the weekend, and instantly a black stone house was completely closed in front of him, and the weekend was shocked and shouted loudly: "Chen Rui, Chen Rui, what's the matter with the president, let me go out ......" Before the weekend shouted a few times, the hairball in his arms immediately screamed, and the squeaky sound was terrifying.
Chen Rui stared at the water in front of him with a solemn face, only to see four or five mutant rats with sharpened heads and sharp teeth and tails like steel whips, rushing towards him through the water at an extremely fast speed.
At this time, Chen Rui did not retreat but advanced, the young man was in the stone house, Chen Rui was vigilant in his heart, what he was worried about was not the few mutant rats on the water, he felt that something was wrong in the deep underground, something interfered with his feeling of the earth, as if there were a few mouse feces in his bowl of porridge, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable and even disgusting.
Chen Rui's hunch was right, when the five mutant rats on the water surface jumped onto the rock wall like sharp arrows, and the sharp stone thorns pierced out from the inclined plane, as if waiting there for these mutant rats to collide, the five mutant rats were instantly pierced by the stone thorns, and let out a sharp and piercing scream.
At the same time, Chen Rui, who had been uncomfortable in the depths of the ground, also broke through the ground at this time, and almost all of Chen Rui's attention was on it, when those mutant rats with earth-based abilities rushed out of the ground, Chen Rui's abilities exploded instantly, and the hard rocks seemed to turn into tofu, leaving no focus for the mutant rats.
Large stones between the sand grains rotated and collided with each other rapidly, and the movements of those mutant rats were suddenly interrupted, and the fine sand instantly turned into fine and sharp stone thorns, which were mixed with large stones and were also quickly transformed by Chen Rui, and the stones covered with sharp stone blades were grinding the mutant rat group, and more than a dozen mutant rats with earth-based abilities, once there was even a fingertip-sized wound on their bodies, a large amount of sand would rush in, and a group of mutant rats would be solved by Chen Rui in the blink of an eye.
The sand brought out the crystal nuclei of those mutant rats, and then Chen Rui directly used the sand to bury the corpses of these mutant rats deep into the bottom of the river, so as not to emit the smell of blood again to attract other mutant beasts. As for the five who were stabbed to death by stone thorns, Chen Rui did not lose them.
The young man is a bit like a hamster, he likes to hide all the things he likes to eat in the space, even if there are a few fish that have not mutated, the young man can't make up his mind to send those few fish when he picks them around. Since the young man is reluctant, then he doesn't have to send it, the mutant mouse looks like it's selling a little bit worse, but it's also a mutant beast, it's not a mutant beast, you can fill your stomach when you eat it, if you don't like it, then you can only rely on them to catch it, it's already quite good that he is willing to give it, Chen Rui doesn't care about what tastes good or not, if it weren't for the sake of the youth, Chen Rui wouldn't bother to pay attention to it at all.
First take out the crystal nuclei in the heads of these five mutant rats, and then control the stone blade to peel the skin and bleed to remove the internal organs, these useless things are wrapped in a hollow stone ball by Chen Rui, and let the stone ball roll downstream along the river, and after half an hour, the stone will disperse because of the dissipation of the ability, and then the water flow will no longer know where to wash these things, and those discarded internal organs attract the surrounding mutant beasts, and they will be much safer here.
After Chen Rui dealt with this, he released the young man locked in the stone house, Chen Rui knew that the young man was not at ease staying in the stone house, and he had always wanted to use his ability to break the stone door, but his ability was one level higher than that of the young man, and it was impossible for the young man to break the stone house, and fortunately, those mutant rats were only a first-level earth ability, otherwise he might have noticed the location of the young man and ran over.
On the weekend, he came out of the stone house and immediately protested: "Brother Chen, why did you lock me up, even if there is danger, I can help, I won't hold you back, I promise, you can't lock me up when you are in danger in the future, this is not to protect me, this is to harm me, otherwise once I encounter danger in the future, I will not be able to deal with it in time." ”
Chen Rui felt justified when he heard the young man's words, but this time the situation was too special, it was also the first time he encountered a mutant rat with an earth-based ability, if he hadn't been on guard, he hadn't given those mutant rats a chance at all, maybe he would have to be injured in a hurry this time, those mutant rats could use earth thorns, but unfortunately his ability level was too high, and those mutant rats had already been resolved by him before they could use their abilities.
"You're right about the weekend, this time it's me who is wrong, I just saw so many mutant rats rushing over and I was a little panicked, next time I won't. Okay, now let's go back first, this place has been taken care of, all the crystal nuclei are put away, and we are half of us as before. Put away the fish, too, and give them three of the mutant rats I just killed, and we'll keep the delicious ones for ourselves. I've been out for a long time I'm a little tired, go back and rest. Chen Rui stretched out his hand and patted the young man's shoulder and said.
Hearing that the president said that he was tired, he swallowed no matter how much he talked on the weekend, and immediately obediently collected all the crystal nuclei and two of the stone balls, and followed the president back with a few other stone balls. At this time over the weekend, I learned that among the five stone balls, there were actually mutant rats that had been disposed of. Although he doesn't eat mutant rat meat now, he didn't eat this thing often on weekends in his previous life, don't look at the size of the mutant rat is not the largest in the last days, and the strength is not the strongest, but it is an extremely difficult existence in the last days.
Mutant rats usually act in groups, and people with slightly weaker strength don't dare to provoke them at all, if it weren't for the president's strength, just the long tail behind the mutant rat can definitely split people in half with a flick. In the face of five mutant rats, even if they have survived a lifetime of weekends, they dare not amplify their words, saying that they can really solve it unscathed, and maybe they may even hate it.
Chen Rui didn't exaggerate the rock to open the way this time, and because the water fell quickly after the rain stopped, he walked quickly towards the classroom with the president on the weekend, followed by four round stone balls, three of which were made by Chen Rui, and the other one was transformed into a few ordinary fish on the weekend, and the ability was used to push them forward on the weekend, although some are not used to some costing abilities, but it actually feels good not to push it by hand.
As soon as the two approached the teaching building, the people on both sides of the staircase classroom immediately found the two, and Sun Yi immediately walked to the window and opened it to greet the two: "Chen Rui, you came back on the weekend, why did you still bring a few stone balls, how is the rising water over there." ”
Weekend kicked the stone ball in front of him and replied: "The river has begun to recede now, but it is definitely not possible to rush, there are mutant rats in the stone ball, we encountered them when we cleaned up the stagnant water just now, they are very powerful, fortunately Brother Chen is even more powerful, and killed them all." Didn't you say that everyone else can't eat well? I thought that this meat would fill my stomach, so I peeled the skin and cleaned it and brought it back for everyone to eat......"
"Really, that's a good thing, everyone is not rich in supplies, they are all hungry, this time you can eat a full stomach, you hurry up and let Li Han help you dry your clothes, don't catch a cold after soaking in the wind and rain for so long." After Sun Yi finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked towards the classroom door.
The two returned to the front of the teaching building, the stone ball rolled to the front of the steps, and several strong men immediately ran over to help move the stone ball, originally wanted to say that he could get it directly on the weekend closed his mouth, refused Sun Yi to let Li Han come over to help, and also told Sun Yi by the way that he had awakened the water ability in the wind and rain just now, so as not to make people suspicious in the future, saying that he might be a dual-system ability......
"You two young men are really good people, don't worry, I have good barbecue skills, I promise to roast this meat fragrantly, so that you still want to eat it." Before the weekend was finished, a middle-aged woman looked at the cracked stone ball and interrupted the weekend's words and spoke first.
Her strength is really not small, lifting the mutant rat whose head has been chopped off and still has more than Miyu's body, it is as easy as lifting a chicken, and the action is so fast that everyone on the weekend sighs to themselves, as if they are afraid of being snatched away.
Chen Qi looked at his wife's appearance and finally just smiled awkwardly, he knew that his wife and children had been hungry with him for many days, and now he was finally able to have a meal of meat, even if it was a mutant rat, he would not dislike it at all, and at this time, many people gathered at the door of the classroom had begun to secrete saliva.
Meat, since the mass death of crops, the state has restricted the supply of food, and the amount of food is less than a day a day, and meat is even more difficult to find, and these people have not tasted meat for a long time......
