Chapter 8: Repairing the Manor
Before I knew it, it was almost 10 o'clock, and Wu Tian took Xiao Yi to push the modified electric three-wheeler to the wood processing factory.
After Xiao Yi entered the factory and looked around, most of the wood had rotted, the broken wooden planks everywhere, even the cutting machine was rusty, and there was still unprocessed wood on the workbench. Looking at the materials all over the ground, Xiao Yi asked, "Will you repair the manor?"
"Yes, if the materials needed to repair the Garden of Eden ......" Wu Tian said and stopped, because he had exhausted all his strength just to be alive in the wasteland world, and Wu Tian had not thought about other things at all.
"Take your time, I don't need to tell me what the name Eden means." Xiao Yi said and moved the usable wood to the tricycle, he wanted to take the cutter with him, and glanced at Wu Angel.
Wu Tian thought for a while and agreed, and the two moved the small cutter to the car.
"I'll go inside and move the bed out, and you'll see if there's anything else you need." After Wu Tian finished speaking, he went straight into the workshop.
"System, I want to know where there is still electricity in this factory," Xiao Yi asked in his heart.
The simple map appeared in his mind again, and he found that there was actually a diesel generator in the factory, Xiao Yi found a plug-in board, and followed the map to find the generator.
There were still a few barrels of sealed diesel on the ground, Xiao Yi tried it with his hands, and there was a lot of it in it.
"Does it cost a correction to make a dilapidated diesel generator run for 1 hour?" The system has no emotion and the prompt sounds.
"How much does it cost?" Xiao Yi asked a little nervously.
"One hour of operation with a one-point correction can fully charge the modified electric tricycle."
"Why don't you just prompt the electric tricycle to be fully charged with a correction value?" Xiao Yi asked suspiciously.
The voice of the "insufficient data to explain ......" system came to an abrupt end.
With a little correction disbursement, the diesel engine in front of him made a roaring sound.
Wu Tian, who was carrying the wooden bed, heard the sound, put the bed directly on the ground, and ran towards the source of the sound. Seeing Xiao Yi open the oil drum on the ground, the diesel generator was running non-stop, and he said with some surprise: "Owner, you will also repair the generator."
"No, I just happened to want to see if it could still generate electricity, after all, we can't push the tricycle back, it's almost 11 o'clock now." Xiao Yi said with a smile.
The two moved the wooden bed to the car, Wu Tian directly began to charge the electric three-wheeler, and Xiao Yi faintly saw that there seemed to be an oil-stained newspaper behind the generator.
As soon as he picked up the newspaper, the system's voice sounded in his ears: "Random event refreshing...... Searching...... Countdown to 24 hours. ”
Xiao Yi is now a little suspicious that the random event occurred because of the things he came into contact with, maybe the first incident was because of the key or the letter, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time.
"Can I call you an adult in the future?" Wu Tian looked at Xiao Yidao solemnly.
"Why?" Xiao Yi didn't like this title, and he still maintained the concept that everyone was equal.
"Because I feel that you are different from us, that there is no fear, no sadness, no despair in you. There's only an aura of insight into everything, or something you don't feel yourself, but that gives me hope. "Wu Tiandao.
"Insight into everything...... What are you kidding, don't you know yourself yet? Wait, could it be that Xiao Yi, the criminal policeman of the last random incident, stayed. Thinking of this, Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly.
"Whatever you want," Xiao Yi said casually, because he knew that once a person like Wu Tian recognized something, he couldn't easily change it, and he didn't want to explain anything.
The two searched separately in the processing plant for all the materials that could be taken away, Xiao Yi was a little skeptical of Wu Tian's words, because the world could not become like this overnight. Maybe there is something wrong with Wu Tian's memory of being tormented by unknown whispers.
An hour later, Wu Tian drove three wheels and embarked on the return journey with Xiao Yihe and the collected materials. Xiao Yi thought for a long time and asked, "Do you know Cthulhu?" That is, mythical creatures. ”
Wu Tian thought for a long time and asked, "What kind of creature is Cthulhu, I haven't heard of it." I haven't seen any of the relevant records in various books, so can you tell me more about it? ”
Xiao Yi thought for a while and said, "Legend has it that the trajectories of the stars are unified. The undersea city ~ Lalaye will surface, the old rulers of the world will return, and Cthulhu will rule the world again. ”
"Why are they called mythical creatures?" Wu Tian asked.
"Because, there are mythical creatures that cannot be seen, heard, or imagined. Once you look at them directly, the sanity of the person is lowered, and eventually they fall into madness, until death, which cannot be solved by any way. Xiao Yi's voice became low.
"I haven't seen any records of this in any history books, maybe your lord, you're right, they only exist in myths." Wu Tiandao.
"Maybe they really exist in reality......" After Xiao Yi said this, the two fell into silence, and never said a word along the way.
The tricycle drove to the door of the manor and stopped, Xiao Yi opened the door, and found Wu Long holding a hoe to clean up the wild grass on the ground, his face covered with sweat.
"We're back, Dragon." Wu Tian said with a smile on his face.
Wu Long looked at the two people who came back, put down the hoe, ran over with a smile, and said, "After I finished sowing the corn seeds, I also watered them with the water from the water truck. I saw that it was still early, so I wanted to clean the manor, so I started to clear the weeds. ”
Xiao Yi looked at Wu Long's sweaty face, touched his head and said, "In the future, this kind of thing will be handed over to you Uncle Wu Tian to do, you are still young, and I will reward you for eating an extra bowl of rice at noon today."
"I'm not tired, and besides, you're out collecting resources, so I can't take my family to do nothing." Wu Long said with a smile.
"In the future, Wu Tian, you will be the housekeeper, drive the car in, move the bed to the empty room by yourself, and I'll make lunch." Xiao Yi said and walked to the kitchen.
Actually, Xiao Yi likes cooking very much, but most of the dishes he makes are dark dishes, if it weren't for the lack of ingredients now. He could give full play to his imagination to cook a hearty lunch for Wu Tian and the others, but the consequences were unknown.
"System, isn't most of the things in this world that I need to use with correction values." Xiao Yi asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
The system does not answer, and a progress bar appears under the task of repairing the manor, which is already 1% gone, and after the survival task (1/10).
Xiao Yi looked at the rice in the rice bowl and shook his head, he had to carry out a random task as soon as possible, otherwise in two days, the three of them would have to go out to find food.
For lunch, Xiao Yi used a rice cooker to steam rice, and looking at the greens in the vegetable garden, he had an idea.
"System, since it's a wasteland survival world. Since there are random quests, there will also be the Traveling Merchant, and I wonder how often he will come. Xiao Yi asked.
"Detecting Searching...... The traveling merchants of this world are made up of survivors. Every month, they pass by various nearby human settlements to exchange various resources.
Note: Although the world has become a wasteland, other resources can also be produced in the wasteland, such as various metals with unknown properties, crops that can be grown in the wasteland, and even items that can be briefly fought against unknown whispers. ”
"System, if that's the case, will humans evolve? Become a Stranger? Xiao Yi asked the question he was most concerned about.
"No, because humans have exhausted everything just to survive in the wasteland world, and they don't produce supernatural abilities." The system replied.
After lunch, Xiao Yi handed over the work of washing dishes to Long, and he had to continue to look for supplies with Wu Tian in the city in the afternoon, so he set off directly after eating.
Wu Tian and Xiao Yi said yes and looked for supplies separately. He went to the clothing store first and collected all the clothes he could collect. Wu Tian came to the hardware store because tools were needed to repair the manor. He had pretty much emptied the entire hardware store, even though most of it was rusty.
Xiao Yi looked at the tools on the car, thought for a while, and said, "Housekeeper, please give me more advice in the future, I am very interested in the usefulness of these things."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I'm very happy."
Before I knew it, it was 4 p.m., and the tricycle was already piled up.
Xiao Yi sat in the back of the car and asked, "Have you ever used a gun?"
Wu Tiandao: "I have used it...... Used a lot. ”
Xiao Yi thought for a moment about the man behind his suspicion in the first random event and said, "If your opponent is a person who is good at layout, and you are in his game, what will you do?"
"No matter how sophisticated the game is, there will be loopholes, as long as you are crazier than him...... When you're crazy enough to forget that you exist, that's the perfect time to break the game. Because, no one can guess what a madman is thinking. Wu Tian thought for a while and said.
On the way back, the two did not notice a person with a telescope staring at them in the distance.
"Eldest sister, in my opinion, the person sitting in the back of the car looks normal and has no mental problems. The person driving the car is calloused, so he should be a mercenary. It's just that how could that mad doctor's manor be in his hands. The man who put down the binoculars said to the woman behind him who was covering her face.
"Keep staring, none of the people who have survived until now are simple, perhaps, the mad doctor has really found his son." After the woman finished speaking, she left directly.
"My lord, do you know the original owner of the manor?" Wu Tian couldn't hold back anymore.
He ...... Maybe it's my father......" Xiao Yi said with a little hesitation in order not to show his feet.
Wu Tian's heart set off a storm, and the person in the car behind him turned out to be the son of a mad doctor. Mad Doctor, he was a well-known man among the survivors, ignoring the whispers of the night, and the number of people he rescued was innumerable. He is highly skilled and proficient in all kinds of surgeries.
If it weren't for the fact that he was constantly insane......
