Chapter 25: The Happiness of Hot Pot
Xia Chuwei felt that there was no normal person around her now.
Lin Mo closed himself in the shadows, not liking contact with people, maybe because of the idea of self-defeat, Xia Chuwei felt that she could barely understand what he was thinking, and Su Chen, Xia Chuwei couldn't see through it at all, it looked quite normal, not to mention the quirks, but these days, she has always been keen to run out and kill monsters.
Although they are now guarding a supermarket and there is no shortage of supplies, there is always a need for medicines, precious ores and other things, right?
But Su Chen ......
He wasn't interested in any of this, the world had become like this, but he wasn't very keen on the supplies that everyone admired, and he didn't want to take the initiative to find the army or other survivors to huddle together, but instead he was full of thoughts about killing monsters, taking risks, dragging his waist to the injuries that didn't seem to be healed, and going out to kill monsters rain or shine.
It's like going to work, coming back every day, resting, eating, tidying, resting, and then immediately setting off again.
Su Chen and Lin Mo are definitely the weirdest people in the entire Yuanliao City now, but they just let themselves meet. Xia Chuwei suddenly felt as if she had become an eccentric person.
However, although Xia Chuwei was slandered in her heart, she knew that without these two "eccentric people", she would not be able to sit in this underground supermarket full of supplies, and it would be impossible for her to spend every day "comfortably" like this, the gunshots and screams outside the building did not stop for a moment, her safety was guaranteed by Lin Mo and Su Chen, therefore, she was slandered, but she was still grateful, she couldn't do much for these two people, she could only give full play to her value as much as possible, such as making some simple food for Su Chen and Lin Mo, Noticing that Su Chen's clothes were in tatters due to the repeated battles, she even ventured upstairs to help Su Chen get a new stack of clothes.
That time was something that even Su Chen didn't expect, he looked at the woman in front of him with some surprise, and said, "Don't use it next time, you have almost no ability to protect yourself, it's too dangerous." ”
Xia Chuwei still said very bluntly: "I don't plan to dedicate myself to you, so, to enjoy your protection, I have to let me do something, and if I do this, when the danger comes, you and Lin Mo will have to hesitate when they want to give up on me, right?" ”
This remark made Su Chen's heart shake slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at this woman more, and said, "That'...... Thank you. ”
Xia Chuwei laughed and didn't say anything anymore.
Su Chen leaned back on the position he had been in, beside him was Mark 45, in the past three days, he had successfully transformed Mark 45's two arms and one leg by hunting the energy units obtained by the lonely slender ghost, and there were even twelve energy units left in his body at the moment.
The process of transformation is very smooth, and according to this progress, he will be able to complete the transformation in seven days at the latest. However, in the process, he discovered another thing - there is a limit to the number of energy units that his body can absorb and hold.
Previously, when he had accumulated thirty energy units, he found that he could no longer hold energy units, and the thirty-first energy unit extracted from hunting the slender ghost would disintegrate in his body and disperse as if "water was full and overflowing".
Su Chen felt that this might be his upper limit at the moment, and this upper limit might be directly related to his magic transformation ability, only by breaking through this upper limit and reaching the next level, his body could store more energy units, and at the same time, the way he changed items might also change, such as ...... You can control the direction and end result of the renovation yourself. It's like the infinite possibilities he felt when he first gained this ability, as if it was within reach, but there was still something critical that he didn't know.
But the Ring of Arnoval does not have an instruction manual, and Su Chen has been studying this matter since he found out about it yesterday, but he still hasn't been able to find a way to step to the next level.
Maybe it's not enough accumulation, maybe there's something else......
Su Chen couldn't find the answer, so he continued his research while starting to accumulate energy units to prepare for the completion of the transformation of Mark 45.
In fact, he felt that this strange and calm supermarket itself was also a little abnormal, according to Lin Mo, he came all the way here in the fight between the black-scaled monster and the slender ghost, although his state was a little chaotic during the whole process, but those monsters seemed to know that he was hiding here, but they all avoided and did not attack, which was not quite in line with the hunting behavior of those monsters that Su Chen had seen these days on humans.
Is this the reason for Lin Mo's own special talent? Or is there something else going deeper?
Su Chen couldn't think of it, although he sensed a trace of danger, he still had to stay here, the suit was made, and a relatively safe and secret space was needed, and if he dragged such a suit out, it would be difficult to hide at all, and he would be discovered by monsters if he couldn't walk a few steps, so he could only throw away the suit and run away.
Risks and opportunities are equal, and as long as the danger does not arise and the armor building continues, it is worth staying here. Su Chen soon stopped thinking about it anymore, and fell asleep on a small bed stacked with pillows and bedding found in the supermarket, but was woken up by a burst of fragrance.
His eyes widened, and he followed the smell and walked over, just as he saw Xia Chuwei tinkering with a bunch of instant hot pot in the shadows.
Noticing Su Chen approaching, Xia Chuwei smiled and said, "Look, the mineral water I use, this hot pot can still be eaten!" It'll be fine right away, I'll call Lin Mo. ”
The woman stood up and ran into the darkness excitedly, her fear of Lin Mo was gradually subsiding over the past few days.
After a while, Lin Mo appeared in Su Chen's field of vision, they sat down near the cash register, Xia Chuwei also handed out a bottle of beer by herself, so that the hot pot was not yet cooked, so she threw a bunch of ham sausages and other things into it.
As the aroma gets stronger and stronger, you can eat it too.
Xia Chuwei looked at the steaming self-heating hot pot and said with a smile: "In this world now, I can still eat a hot pot without much worry, I should be the happiest person, right?" ”
Su Chen also sighed a little, he has been busy getting stronger these days, where can he take care of what he eats, Xia Chuwei will deal with it, he usually doesn't feel anything, but now when he smells the fragrance, he really has some index fingers: "Thanks to you, I am also happy." ”
Only Lin Mo didn't say a word, took a sip of wine, and immediately started eating.
In the faint light of the flashlight, the three people sat around the corner of the messy supermarket, saying something that was not there, but there was also an incredible sense of peace, Su Chen was a "cross-reborn person" There is nothing to say, but Xia Chuwei kept talking, but Xia Chuwei said something that Su Chen was very concerned about, that is, the old man who had blocked the SUV with his bare hands on the news he had seen before had been treated in Xia Chuwei's hospital, but then he didn't know why, and he was quietly transferred away.
Lin Mo was silent at first, and he didn't know if he drank too much or heard about the suspected talent, and later he also talked about it, but most of what he said was his old days, and the bits and pieces when he was a small clerk, but when he talked about his girlfriend and family, he fell silent again.
Seeing this scene, Su Chen stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, he could understand that feeling, he was killed in a car accident, although he was reborn, he also missed his family in another world.
Xia Chuwei looked at this scene, and always felt that it was like a sympathy between strange people, but on the contrary, it was such a scene that made her find some kind of real sense of being alive in this catastrophic world.
Disaster has struck, but life still has to go on.
……
And not far away, in the dark shadow of the negative layer, there seemed to be a dry shadow that flickered away.
