Chapter 13 Target Shift
“……”
A day has passed, and it should have been in place a long time ago, but now...... The transport airboat still didn't stop, and the staff member properly pitted himself.
I wasn't even worried that I would go back to find something to do, maybe when I got on this airship, I was a dead man in the eyes of the other party, and as for the route, I was probably fooling myself at the time.
Even so, Zheng Chen didn't plan to go out at this time, all he could do now was wait for an opportunity.
After another two days, the smoothly flying airship suddenly stopped, and there was no sense of falling, and the airship stopped in the air?
Zheng Chen, who was going to wait and see, was shocked, and quickly held on to the edge of the container, this time it was the container he was staying in, it was really ......
Now he can't act rashly, if he jumps out, he will be besieged immediately...... Or continue to observe the situation...... A little irritable.
"Get rid of your stuff, there's a lot of thieves here."
Zheng Chen's eyes turned around, looking at the only place here where people could hide, an old box that looked like a coffin, the shell was inlaid with gems with strange patterns, Zheng Chen reached out and touched this box, it was metal, but he didn't know which kind it was.
If it was directly destroyed violently, he would not be able to restore this thing completely, so he reached out and touched a gap in the top of the box, and five wires appeared from the tips of five fingers, and the intertwined wires were rolled into a simple crowbar.
“……”
Staring at the blue-haired girl sleeping quietly in the box, she had a strange metal plaque attached to it with some kind of pattern engraved on her head.
The space in the box was not large, and hearing the movement that the box had been opened outside, Zheng Chen pushed her to the side without the slightest hesitation, jumped in himself, and pulled the lid back again.
A faint clicking sound sounded, and Zheng Chen's forehead immediately sweated, and there was even this other layer of structure in this box, which seemed to be impossible to open from the inside......
And it doesn't seem to be ventilated!?
How could the girl who was huddled with him and sleeping be safe? Slow down his breathing as much as possible, now the hole in this box is easy to be exposed, or wait for those people outside to carry the things away, the air that entered just now is enough for Zheng Chen to hold on for a while.
"Well, it's important to take this thing away first."
The sound that came to mind outside was very advanced, and after that voice fell, the box that Zheng Chen was lurking in shook up, this old box was actually the first to be carried, it seemed to be very important?
Because of this sleeping girl next to her?
There were two people squeezed in the box, even if Zheng Chen was not a strong body, the girl next to him was also slender, the space inside was still squeezed seriously, and it didn't take long for Zheng Chen's forehead to start sweating, and he moved his fingers slightly, and opened the soft cushion lined in the box, and Zheng Chen, whose fingers were against the bottom of the box, began to slowly withdraw the part of the metal that was in contact.
The material of this box is not ordinary metal, and the cost of extraction is greater.
After opening a small hole, the dullness in the box has also dissipated a lot, so there should be no problem for the time being.
Quietly waiting for the movement outside to end, after hearing the sound of the door closing, after waiting for a while, Zheng Chen pressed directly on the edge of the box, and from the outside, the side of the intact box seemed to collapse, quickly shrinking and disappearing.
"It's ......"
Zheng Chen, who broke away from the box, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the ground, and a piece of metal like a stream of water emerged from his palm, quickly formed, and turned into a large square iron ingot.
These were just the iron he had stored before, and even though it had been extraordinarily refined, the hardness was surprisingly high, but after adding better substitutes, he naturally cleared out some of it and kept it to occupy space.
Now, what is this place?
Zheng Chen sat on the edge of the box that was open on one side, and couldn't help but rub his head, this wave of twists and turns, he had never encountered this kind of thing when he was living in the wasteland, and he was still not used to it in the end.
Let's find a chance to get out of here first, and my finger lightly tapped the big box where I was sitting, as for the delicate girl who looked like a doll here, is the other party really a human being?
He almost had an accident in the box because of the lack of oxygen, but she didn't have anything to do from the beginning to the end, and Zheng Chen couldn't even detect her breathing.
Is it because she is so special that she is given special attention?
It has something to do with the special, and it's generally a trouble......
"You're holding me back."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Seeing the blue-haired girl poking her head out from the side of the big box, Zheng Chen was not too surprised, nodded lightly and walked to the side, and the metal plate that was originally pressed on her forehead like an ornament now slipped to the side.
I guess I accidentally took it aside when I came out just now.
Because of a long sleep, the girl pulled the metal card that slipped to the side to the side, and the action was a little stiff and difficult, rubbing her eyes, she moved the tip of her nose, and gently sniffed on the sleeve of her body, and her emerald green eyes stared directly at Zheng Chen, who had just picked up the metal card on the ground.
The material of this thing is similar to that box, except that something is missing, and the hardness is not comparable.
"I have the smell of you, what have you done?" The girl's tone was flat, as if she wasn't worried about what was going to happen to her.
Zheng Chen glanced back at the girl in the long black dress and shook his head, "Nothing, I just came here with the help of this thing." ”
"You took that off?" The girl looked at the metal card in Zheng Chen's hand and asked.
"I brought it down by accident."
"Yes, thank you." The girl still said calmly, walked to the exit of this warehouse, reached out and pressed on the iron door, pulled hard, the iron door did not move, tried a few times, and the girl who knew that she could not open the door looked at Zheng Chen.
Zheng Chen didn't say anything, and shook his head, "It's not the time to go out for the time being." ”
Everything here has just been moved, and now when you go out, you're sure to bump into the people here.
"Are you going to leave on your own?"
“…… Be. ”
Zheng Chen, who was stared at by the other party, hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully, this girl is different from anyone he has ever seen, what to use to describe it, that is, the affinity is very high.
"......" Zheng Chen's answer made the girl fall into a short silence, the atmosphere in the warehouse was suppressed again, Zheng Chen did not intend to break this oppressive atmosphere, after a while, the girl spoke, "Can you take me with you?" ”
The girl is not stupid, although she doesn't know where she is, but it's not easy to get out of here, right?
"It's too much trouble." Zheng Chen said very directly, after surviving in the wasteland for many years, how much impact would he have on himself even with an extra burden, and he would rather choose a more dangerous solo action than an intrigue team action.
Acting in a team doesn't always mean being safe.
"What era is it?" After a moment of silence, the girl stopped mentioning the topic and changed the question.
Zheng Chen shook his head, "I don't know." ”
In the previous bookstore, Zheng Chen also had a partial understanding of this world, and the date records of each big place were different, and now he didn't know where he had been.
"And where are we?"
"Heavenly."
“…… On the fly? A look of surprise flashed on the calm face of the blue-haired girl, and she looked around, but unfortunately this place was a storeroom, and there were no windows.
Zheng Chen was also thinking about the girl's expression, and the other party didn't seem to know about the existence of the flying boat?
Glancing back at the broken box behind him, the marks on it proved that the thing had been a long time coming...... She can't sleep in here forever, right?
"Yes."
The girl's expression was even more surprised, "Is the house now able to fly in the sky......?" ”
"Sort of." Zheng Chen replied without a match, his fingers lightly tapped the metal short stick in his hand, the strength of the metal absorbed from this box has exceeded all the metals he has touched, plus the tattoo has been refined in the process of absorption, the strength is even better.
Not only that, but this box has not been damaged for a long time, and its material has been extraordinary to a certain extent.
Anyway, I have already deducted it aside, destroying the overall structure, and it is a waste to keep the rest of the part, so I can simply take it all away.
Under the gaze of the blue-haired girl, the lid of the box disappeared like a stream of water under the touch of Zheng Chen's palm......
After doing all this, a few drops of sweat also appeared on Zheng Chen's forehead, and the higher the metal material he touched, the more serious the physical exertion on him when absorbed.
"You ate?"
Seeing her sleeping box disappear in front of her eyes, the blue-haired girl asked with some surprise.
"......" Zheng Chen silently didn't answer, how did he think about it to think of food?
Looking at the fading lines on the palm of my hand, it can be regarded as eating in a sense.
After refining and reducing the volume, this box still occupied most of Zheng Chen's volume, and the upper limit of the absorption volume of the texture sound on his body was about one-tenth less than his volume.
There are also advantages to metal, the strength in all aspects is far greater than that of steel, but the weight is almost the same, and it also has a special effect, Zheng Chen felt some unknown repulsion in the process of absorption.
A small drop of amber liquid came out of the tip of his finger and fell into Zheng Chen's mouth, which was a medicinal liquid refined from ginseng through the lines, and only a few drops of ginseng were refined, but the medicinal properties of the entire ginseng were all concentrated into these drops.
This less than half a drop is enough for Zheng Chen's physical strength to recover quickly, and there is even a surplus.
Zheng Chen, who was about to leave after recovering his strength, shook his feet, and the entire warehouse shook suddenly.
