Chapter 153: Parting
The shoes had been broken in the strenuous exercise just now, and it was quite uncomfortable to walk on the road, so Chen Shouyi simply kicked off his shoes and walked barefoot.
It was close to noon, and the winter sun was shining on his body, but he didn't feel much warmth at all, and the ground was condensed with a thin layer of ice covered with patterns, and a cold wind blew, and his skin gave birth to a trace of goosebumps.
Before walking into the community, Chen Shouyi noticed that a camphor tree on the side of the road actually pulled out tender shoots in this cold winter, green and delicate, exuding vitality.
He looked at several other camphor trees on the road, and realized that this camphor tree was not a special case, but a common phenomenon.
After the mutation, the mysterious power began to spread on the earth, although this power slowed down the electrochemical reaction of matter, but obviously did not have much impact on living beings, it is not like the other four basic forces, this is a spiritual power, for life, similar to sunlight for plants, can be more easily absorbed and transformed by living organisms, bringing more vigorous vitality.
......
As the battle drew to an end in the evening, only the occasional burst of intense artillery fire showed that there were still scattered giant spiders roaming the city.
Chen Shouyi, who had put on his shoes again, stood on the balcony and looked into the distance, where the thick smoke of gunpowder filled the sky above the city, as if shrouded in a thick layer of fog.
At this time, Chen Shouyi saw a young man in a down jacket cautiously walking towards the black giant spider he had killed in the community yesterday.
This giant spider was killed by him with a sword, and many of his legs were cut off by him.
I saw that the young man boldly walked to the side of a broken leg, hesitated, and then, with great difficulty, picked up the broken leg, and walked back.
Chen Shouyi's face was surprised.
What is he doing with this?
It's not going to be eaten!
Xu was noticed by someone, and soon many people ran out one after another, more and more people, but after all, there were only three broken legs, and there were more monks and less porridge, and the rest of the people began to make up their minds about the whole corpse.
The black giant spider is huge, and as a creature that lives under three times the gravity, it weighs nearly a ton and has a rather hard carapace.
Some of these people had axes in their hands, some had kitchen knives, and some people had hammers, trying to dismember the giant spider, but the effect was obviously not very good, until a middle-aged man with the strength of a martial apprentice came with a sword, and the process finally went smoothly.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" asked Chen Xingyue and walked over with Song Tingting.
Chen Shouyi gestured with his hand.
When Chen Xingyue looked at it, she felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Brother, this is what you killed, it's a lot of meat, why should they take it?"
Chen Shouyi was surprised when he heard this: "This is spider meat, can you eat it?"
Aren't girls most afraid of this kind of thing?
"Brother, what kind of spider, this thing looks like a praying mantis, you can't call anything with eight legs a spider. Chen Xingyue hurriedly said: "And this is the meat of creatures from another world, it is very replenishing, the last time I ate the meat you brought back, I felt that my strength was improving very quickly." ”
Is it so obvious, why didn't he feel it, for him, those meats were easier to fill.
But after thinking about it this way, he did find that during that time, his parents' complexion was significantly better.
"If you want to eat, it's not easy, this thing is everywhere outside. Thinking of the silver giant spider outside the community, Chen Shouyi couldn't stand still, and he didn't know if he was still there: "I'll go out and look for it!"
He took his sword from his bedroom and walked out the door.
It didn't take long for him to walk out of the community and find the body of the silver giant spider still there.
There was not a single pedestrian on the road, only three stray dogs with green eyes from hunger, desperately biting at the wounds of the silver giant spider, their mouths full of green blood.
Seeing this scene, Chen Shouyi's heart was relieved.
It seems that it should not be poisonous.
These dogs, when they saw Chen Shouyi coming, just wanted to grin their teeth, but they were glared at by him, and they suddenly whimpered, and quickly fled with their tails between them.
Dogs are far more sensitive to dangerous breaths than humans.
A great martial artist like Chen Shouyi, whose biological field is completely dozens of times that of ordinary humans, once the malice is revealed, the creatures that are slow to respond to the breath will naturally have little effect, but for those sensitive creatures, it is a strong danger signal.
He walked quickly to the edge of the silver spider, the first time he had seen the terrifying creature so closely.
Its six legs curled up into a ball, the green blood of the wound had been frozen by low temperature, perhaps the cause of its death, its original pale silver luster, became a lot duller, and its body seemed to have lost a mysterious color.
He didn't delay, pulled out the sword, and slashed down at its strongest forelimbs, as if cutting into metal and flesh, but fortunately, Chen Shouyi had already been mentally prepared, and this sword was used with all his strength!
With a crisp click, the forefoot, which was nearly two meters long and the thickness of the calf, broke off and fell to the ground.
Chen Shouyi looked at the blade of the sword and found that it was not curled, so he immediately relieved himself and cut off another one. Then they were picked up separately and walked into the community.
Each of these two forefeet weighs nearly 100 catties, and even if the outer carapace is removed, the amount of meat inside is estimated to be no less.
When Chen Shouyi walked to the community with two huge silver and white eye-catching forelimbs.
Many residents who were still surrounding the black giant spider, ready to get some scraps, looked at it one after another.
Soon, someone had already recognized Chen Shouyi and whispered something, and suddenly everyone cast a look of gratitude or awe.
I don't know whose beginning, everyone immediately applauded.
"Good job, buddy. ”
"That's amazing!"
......
Chen Shouyi couldn't help but pause, nodded to everyone with a tense face, and then walked quickly into the residential building where his family was located.
As soon as he walked inside, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and this feeling of being appreciated and respected was really amazing, and it was refreshing from the bottom of his heart.
He walked briskly up the stairs, and it wasn't long before he opened the door.
Chen's mother, who was coming out of the kitchen, was startled when she saw Chen Shouyi holding two huge forefeet in his hands: "What are you carrying?"
This thing is indeed quite terrifying to look at, the entire forefoot is covered with fine serrations, the tip is sharp like a spear, and the dense orange fluff all over the body is daunting.
"Insect feet!" Chen Shouyi said lightly, and gently lowered it on the floor, making a soft clattering sound.
When Chen Xingyue heard the movement, she quickly ran over and said in surprise: "Why is it this color, isn't it black?"
Although Song Tingting was a little scared, she still walked over curiously, looking left and right.
"Black is the weakest, and silver is much more powerful than black. Chen Shouyi explained, to say that it is powerful, even if ten black giant spiders surround him in all directions, it is not as threatening as a silver giant spider.
Mother Chen understood, glared at Chen Shouyi, and said with a gloomy face: "What are you doing with this thing, these monsters should have eaten people, right?"
Look at what I'm doing, it's not that I want to eat, Chen Shouyi looked at Chen Xingyue with an innocent face,
Chen Xingyue's face was also a little bad, she realized that this monster might have eaten people, but when she saw that someone in the community was robbing, she didn't think so much about it on impulse, she hesitated for a while, and said with a sneer: "Then don't throw it away." ”
Chen Shouyi looked at his sister speechlessly, you are the one who wants to eat, and you are the one who doesn't want to eat.
At this time, Chen Dawei said loudly: "It's too wasteful to throw it away, everyone else is ready to eat, why don't we eat it, it's nothing unlucky, what's more, it's just two legs!"
"If you want to eat it, I won't eat it anyway!" said Chen's mother.
"This is a good thing!" Chen Dawei said with a smile, the war gradually subsided, and his depressed mood also relaxed: "It is estimated that the meat is similar to that of Zhizhi, and it must be very fragrant when fried." ”
This thing is not easy to deal with, so it can only be done by Chen Shouyi, Chen Shouyi put the two forefeet on the balcony, and broke the forefeet from the middle with a sword.
Everyone looked at Chen Shouyi on the balcony, their eyes staring tightly, but no one could see the shadow of Chen Shouyi's sword, and even his arms looked quite blurry.
Song Tingting was fascinated by it, her eyes were soft as water, and she didn't know how to feel it.
Chen's mother and Chen Dawei were surprised for a while, and at most they felt that their son was so powerful, and that's it.
As for Chen Xingyue, the silver teeth that he saw were biting.
Are all martial artists so powerful, I feel that I am still a lot behind, maybe to catch up with my brother, three or four years may not be enough.
More than ten seconds later, Chen Shouyi broke off his forefoot.
The muscles inside were dense and tough, criss-crossed, and he put his sword aside, and then forcefully dug out the muscles that stuck to the carapace one by one, and placed them on the basin next to him.
I dug up two large basins full of them.
After washing, the muscles look snow-white and tender, with a slightly crystalline color, like flawless jade.
Although he saw that the stray dog had bitten it, this meat should not be poisonous, but the parts were different, for the sake of safety, Chen Shouyi still picked up a piece of meat, reminded his parents, and walked out of the door.
Soon, a few stray dogs were found outside that were still biting the silver giant spider in vain.
Before they could escape, Chen Shouyi threw the meat far away.
One of the dogs glanced at Chen Shouyi, hesitated, quickly ran over, grabbed the piece of meat in one bite, and couldn't wait to swallow it.
Chen Shouyi squatted on the side of the road, observed for half an hour, and saw that it was not only safe and sound, but also seemed to become more energetic, so he finally put his mind at ease, if it was poisonous, it would have had a seizure a long time ago, and it could still be so lively.
......
Today, dinner was quite hearty.
The meat of the giant spider was blown up by Chen Dawei in a whole basin.
After the original tough meat is fried in boiling oil, it becomes soft and charred, and it exudes an extremely tempting aroma, and you can't help but taste it.
At the beginning, Chen Shouyi and Chen Dawei ate together, and soon Chen Xingyue saw that the two of them ate so deliciously, and couldn't help but take a piece, so they were out of control, only Chen's mother and Song Tingting, avoiding their sight, did not move.
......
Early the next morning.
Zhang Jingyi hurried over to visit Song Tingting.
After the two met, they hugged their heads and cried excitedly, seeing Song Tingting who was safe and sound, Zhang Jingyi thanked her repeatedly, took out a stack of money, and must let Chen's mother accept it.
Chen's mother hurriedly refused several times before the other party took it back.
Then Zhang Jingyi proposed that the family was going to move out, and was going to move to her husband Song Qiran's steam turbine group's staff community to live, and now the Hedong steam turbine group has a steep rise in status in Hedong City, has reached a strategic height, and it will undoubtedly be safer to live there.
Song Tingting was completely stunned: "Mom, why do you live over there?"
"Your dad has been busy with work lately, day and night, if I don't take care of it, I'm afraid my body will collapse immediately, and I can't leave you here alone." Zhang Jingyi said patiently.
It's okay if I'm here alone.
Of course, this is just a thought in the heart, so naturally you can't say it.
"But, Mom, what should I do when I study?" Song Tingting thought about it and suddenly found an excuse.
"You can transfer to the second high school, it's near the group, it's easy to come back, and you can come back in the future." ”
......
Song Tingting couldn't resist Zhang's mother in the end.
When parting, Song Tingting hugged Chen Xingyue with moist eyes: "Xingyue, I will miss you." ”
"I'll miss you too!" Chen Xingyue patted her on the shoulder and said.
Song Tingting let go of Chen Xingyue, and walked in front of Chen Shouyi again with tears streaming down her face, she had already let go, opened her hand and hugged Chen Shouyi who was a little stunned tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Senior, don't forget me, I will be back soon." ”
It didn't take long for Song Tingting and Zhang Jingyi to leave with their simple luggage, and they kept shedding tears as they left, and tears were clearly scattered on the ground.
Chen Shouyi watched the two of them walk down the stairs blankly, as if there was an empty piece in his heart.
"Brother, Song Tingting seems to like you. Chen Xingyue said.
Feeling the tear stains of the girl on his shoulder, Chen Shouyi sighed, how could he not know: "Let it be!"
......
Order began to gradually restore in Hedong City, and soldiers returned to the streets.
At the same time, a large number of job postings were posted all over the entrance wall of the community, and most of the recruits this time were construction workers.
In the middle of an intersection not far from the community, an octagonal building has been built with two floors overnight, and the workers have mentioned that a sentry post will be built here.
This invasion of giant spiders has made Hedong City tense its nerves, and the previous perfect defense has become full of loopholes after the mutation, and a new urban defense system is obviously imperative.
......
At noon, twelve steam tanks and eighty steam trucks, loaded with soldiers or artillery, lined up in a row and made a parade around the streets of the lower town, attracting the cheers of countless citizens.
Chen Shouyi's family also went over to watch, this kind of scene was really exciting, and even Chen Shouyi couldn't help cheering.
However, this is estimated to be the vast majority of the mobile forces that can be mobilized in Hedong City, and for today's human beings, the next few months will undoubtedly be the most vulnerable period.
