Volume 1 The Endless Wilderness Section 59 Homecoming
"How long is it going to rain......
On the fifth day of the rain, one of the reservists looked at the sky and complained. The rest of the team members didn't answer, just lowered their heads and remained silent.
As far as the eye can see, the whole world is gray, and there is not a single place that is not wet. One day of soaking in water is uncomfortable, two days of soaking in water is torment, and five days of soaking in water is hell!
Misfortune is not alone, and one of the team members has a cold, wrapped in a blanket, and sits on the kerosene stove to make a fire. The current weather is wet and cold, but when you put on the quilt, you feel stuffy, which is very fatal.
Before, the sick player was hot, his hands and feet were constantly twitching, and he was about to die. The caravan leader Charried sent a small healing needle worth fifty gold coins, which stabilized the other party's condition.
On the seventh day, when the crowd was about to break down, the rain finally stopped. The sun peeked out of the clouds, and the warm sunlight shone on the earth.
Everyone ran out of the canopy, stripped off only a pair of pants, and lay on their backs on chairs to bask in the sun. But within a few hours, the sun became hot, and the water vapor in the distance rose miaomiao, and it seemed that the whole world was distorted.
Seven days of rain turned the entire wasteland into a swamp. The convoy waited for another three days, until the water on the surface had almost evaporated and it was dry and hard again.
The original seven- or eight-day trip was suddenly extended to more than half a month. Charried lost a truckload of goods, most of which got wet again, and lost a lot. However, those who do this business will have corresponding psychological preparations, so Charlide still talks and laughs along the way. Maybe the heart was dripping blood, but at least it didn't show it.
"Captain Chen, if you need to take a ride next time, just go directly to the Orchid Town Chamber of Commerce to find me, don't bother Lord Xiaowu." When he was about to arrive at Orchid Town, Charlie said to Chen Xing.
"Thank you in advance." Chen Xing said while laughing.
Half an hour later, Povat and Beauva each drove a jeep to take Chen Xing and the others to the underground water station. Yeyang Bailiu was inspecting the scene, and when he saw Chen Xing coming back, he greeted him.
"My brother and sister usually settle down at the Orchid Bar, and we come to find them when we have something." Povat shook Chen Xing's hand and said.
"Okay." Chen Xing nodded vigorously and said, "If it's okay in the future, you can also come here and settle down and leave a room for you." ”
"Thank you, Brother Chen." Povat clenched his hands into fists and said solemnly, then pulled his sister behind him.
The latter was in a daze, pulled by the former, staggered forward, lowered his head, his face was slightly red, and said in a timely manner, "Thank you, thank you Brother Chen, in the future, take care of ...... in the future."
But here, a cold gaze swept over, making Bona tremble.
Yeyang Bailiu is tall, beautiful, demure and quiet, and his skin is as white as clotted fat. Originally, Bona's figure and appearance were not bad, but when the two stood together, the gap came out, like a house flower and a weed, which could not be compared at all. In addition, Ye Yang Bailiu was born as the eldest lady, and her momentum was even higher by more than a star and a half, and her eyes were like ice picks, staring at her. For a while, she was sitting on pins and needles, hanging her head, not daring to look at each other, just wanting to leave quickly.
"It's been hard along the way, let's go back and rest." Chen Xing said in a round game. And Sun Yong's matter has not been resolved yet, so it is not suitable for them to get too close.
"That'...... Then let's go first......" In Ye Yang Bailiu's cold gaze, Bona got into the car and ran in the direction of Orchid Town.
"It's not shallow." After the two brothers and sisters left, in the underground lounge, Ye Yang Bailiu said with some taste.
"What?" Chen Xing asked with a blank expression, as if that was really the case.
Ye Yang Bailiu pushed him and stared at his eyes, as if to say, "Pretend, let you pretend!" The little woman's anger made Chen Xing's heart itch, like a cat scratching.
"Well, the construction of the water station is going well." Chen Xing staggered the topic and said.
"The exterior wall is almost finished, and yesterday another batch of cement and steel bars came in, and the money is running out." Ye Yang Bailiu said.
Chen Xing nodded in approval, and then used the black watch to give Ye Yang Bailiu 1,500 gold coins. A few days ago, he received information that the auction was successful, and there were more than 2,300 gold coins in total, which greatly exceeded his expectations.
He originally estimated that it was about 1,500 gold coins, which was equivalent to an extra budget of more than 800 gold coins out of thin air.
After getting the money, Yeyang Bailiu went out happily. The thing about Bona was also selectively forgotten. No matter what kind of origin or what kind of appearance a woman has, she has a heartfelt joy for gold coins.
Chen Xing took a hot bath, drank some cereal porridge made by the cook, and slept beautifully.
When he woke up the next day, Chen Xing changed into clean clothes and asked the cook to bring bread and broth. After eating, I filled some canned fruit and sugar cubes, and went through the passage in the tin cabinet to the hatching room of the anthill.
Today, the inside of the anthill has come back to life. Along the way, termites of all sizes are busy, and some of the worker ants have also reached adulthood, growing like calves and are very strong.
"Brother, you're finally here. Suna is so lonely alone, woo woo woo ...... "Seeing Chen Xing, Suna immediately burst into tears, wiping her eyes while moving her fat body, which almost pressed Chen Xing.
I haven't seen her for a month, Suna has gained a lot of weight, and her skin is as smooth as milk, which makes people want to take a bite. It seems that there is plenty of food these days, good food and shelter, a lot of meat has been raised, and the abdomen has grown a whole circle.
Chen Xing remembered that he had never scanned Suna's data after being in contact for so long, so he scanned it with a black watch. Unexpectedly, I was surprised on the spot!
[Mutant Termite Queen?] (Normal?) Database error......]
[HP: 1347/1350]
[Innate Abilities: Scythe, Telepathy, Spawning, Evolution]
[Virus Possible: None]
This vitality is three times higher than that of the abyssal giant toad that day, which is really perverted enough. However, Suna's defense ability is not good, and she is afraid of pain, so she has no combat effectiveness.
"Why are you hurt?" Chen Xing said strangely. Suna's health is three points less, so it stands to reason that there should be no danger in the anthill.
"I, I'm not hurt...... Suna said hesitantly, as if she was hiding something from him.
"Huh?" Chen Xing frowned, his face unhappy.
"That's it, it's just giving birth to a baby, okay, it hurts......" Suna said with a red face.
"That's right......" Chen Xing nodded as if he suddenly realized, and did not ask this question again.
"Is everything alright?" Chen Xing asked again.
"It's all right." Suna said happily, and then told Chen Xing about the anthill.
At present, there are 56 adult worker ants and 19 adult soldier ants. In two weeks, it will be back to half of its heyday, with the ability to forage and defend.
"Come on, just tell me if you need anything." Chen Xing said.
"Okay." Suna replied obediently.
Chen Xing left a large backpack of snacks, and then left the anthill under the escort of several worker ants.
Later, he took Aaron and Xiao Yang to the pharmacy in Orchid Town, and spent a thousand gold coins to buy four primary agility potions and six primary strength potions.
For the next two weeks, he stayed at home, hid in his room every day and injected potions, increasing his strength to 15 and agility to 21. With the blessing of the trio, he will have 45 muscle strength and 63 nerve reaction speed.
Even a strong person at the town guard level is difficult to have such a high attribute. However, it was only for a moment, and there was still a big gap between him and the real town-level powerhouse. But then again, it's often just a split second that determines victory or defeat.
