The early morning sun shone through the trees, and the insects around the camp were chirping.

These are all insect companions that Shen You has summoned through pheromones, and she has established a tacit understanding with the insects, and she controls them like an arm.

"Let's go." The girl said to her companions.

"Let's go." Gu Beimo put the packed tent into the back compartment, and then motioned for everyone to get on the car.

"How's your hand?" Ding Xiu saw that he was about to drive by himself, and was a little worried about the injury on his hand.

"It's so much better." Gu Beimo moved his arm and grinned, "This crocodile blood is really a good thing, I knew that I would slaughter that mutant estuary crocodile at that time." ”

"It's not that easy to slaughter." Ding Xiu saw that Gu Beimo's arm had indeed recovered to the point of flexibility, so he relieved himself and said, "The mutant estuary crocodile is on land, and we will win or lose with it; It returned to the river, and the victory or defeat was zero and ten. ”

"The mutant estuary crocodile has run away, why are you still discussing this?" Shen You said to the two of them.

"Hehe, that's what I'll say." Gu Beimo scratched his head, "Xijun used all the crocodile blood on me, if we have another case in the future, what can we do?" ”

"Just be careful." Shen You sat in the car and said another word to Gu Beimo, "Old Gu, you have to drive the car steadily." ”

"Got it, my little ancestor." Gu Beimo responded.

When Ding Xiu's car walked ahead, he also started the car and followed.

Shen You let the insects lead the way, and it took everyone several hours to finally find the hot spring.

The hot springs in the forest are next to a small hill, and the spring water flows out of the mountain and merges into a small pond in front of the mountain. The edge of the pond is full of smooth stones, and there is no vegetation, and there is a small stream nearby that catches the spring water that seeps out of the cracks in the stones, and carries them with them to distant places.

Everyone parked their cars nearby and walked to the pool together.

"This is it?" Ding Xiu asked Shen You.

"I guess so." Shen You said and put his hand into the pool, and then a happy look appeared on his face, "That's it, the water is warm." ”

The others reached out and tried it, and after feeling the temperature of the spring water, everyone was a little excited.

"So this is a hot spring." Ding Xiu had never experienced a hot spring, and it was the first time he had personally experienced the hot water coming out of the ground.

"Wait until I check the water first." Gu Beimo took out a small device from the car, this is a water quality tester, which adventurers will often use during their journeys.

He pulled a probe from the device and plunged into the water, and a moment later, the data of the spring water in the pool appeared on the device's screen.

"OK, it's all up to standard." Gu Beimo said: "It's so clean that it can be used as drinking water." ”

"Then let's just replenish the water we need to drink on the way." Ding Xiu went to get the container of water as he spoke, and the others followed to help.

Everyone used to drink water on the way to filter and then boil, the process is more troublesome, this time it is rare to encounter mineral water that meets the data standard, naturally will not miss it.

After loading the water, the next thing was the hot spring project, Ding Xiu and Gu Beimo used tents to help the girls build a low wall, so that they could enjoy the hot springs in the pool with confidence and boldness.

Song Xijun and Shen You didn't have swimsuits, so they simply wore the clothes inside and went into the water. When the warm water envelops the whole body, the feeling of exhaustion disappears at once.

"It's so comfortable~" The two couldn't help but murmur.

"Do you want to call the two of them to come too, we're both dressed anyway." Shen You proposed.

"It's embarrassing." Song Xijun's face was slightly red, and after thinking about it, he shook his head, "It's better not to, we'll change them when we're done." ”

"Okay." Shen You said, his eyes suddenly fell on Song Xijun's chest, and an exclamation of "so big" suddenly came out of his head.

"Xiaoyou, what's wrong with you?" Song Xijun saw her eyes staring straight at her chest, and said with some curiosity: "Is there anything strange about me?" ”

"Uh...... Sister Xijun. Shen You came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly: "Did you have anything you particularly liked to eat before?" ”

"Favorite food?" Although I don't know why Shen You asked this, Song Xijun still thought about it and replied very seriously: "I will eat whatever the chef at home cooks, and my father is arranging it, and I am not picky." ”

"That's right." Shen You didn't ask anything useful, her expression was slightly disappointed, she put her hand on her chest and pressed it, feeling a little worried.

"Please grow up quickly!" The girl prayed in her heart.

Song Xijun saw Shen You's expression and movements, and suddenly understood her thoughts, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Are you worried about that?" Song Xijun pointed to his chest.

Shen You shook his head, nodded again, and blushed.

"Actually, there's no need to rush." Song Xijun said: "You are only 15 years old, and I am already 23 years old." I'm 8 years older than you, 8 years, won't it grow up? ”

"But......" Shen You stopped talking.

"But what?" Song Xijun asked.

"But I'm a little worried that it won't grow up in the future...... Shen You looked at his flat chest with a face, and then raised his head to look at Song Xijun, "Sister Xijun, when you were 15 years old, was it flat here?" ”

"Uh......" Now it was Song Xijun's turn to be a little embarrassed, although there were only two girls in the hot spring, she and Shen You, but the questions Shen You asked were too private. She thought about it, and finally told a white lie.

"Well, I was just like you back then."

"Really?" Shen You's eyes lit up, and his heart was full of hope.

"8 years, I hope that after 8 years, I can be the same as Sister Xijun here, huh...... It's better to be bigger than Sister Xijun's. She thought to herself, her eyes full of longing.

The two of them soaked in the hot spring for more than half an hour, while Ding Xiu and Gu Beimo patrolled nearby and maintained their weapons.

There was still some slime and black oil left on the blades and stingers of the mutant swamp slugs, and Ding Xiu found gasoline and detergent to clean them up after trying them one by one.

Gu Beimo reequipped his shotgun "Fate" with some special ammunition, and he learned some lessons from fighting the mutant swamp slug, and began to consider whether to equip himself with a cold weapon for close combat.

The two chatted while they were busy.

"Walking through the dense forest and getting your bearings is a big problem." Ding Xiu looked at the trees around him, and felt a little emotion in his heart, he could identify the direction through the compass, but he couldn't accurately know where he was.

"If only there was a device with a satellite map." Gu Beimo nodded, thinking deeply. When he traveled south and north before, he rarely chose mountain and forest areas for this reason.

"There doesn't seem to be this kind of equipment for sale in Tianque City." Ding Xiu said.

"Of course, it doesn't have to be sold, satellite positioning has to have relevant permissions, and ordinary people don't have to think about it." Gu Beimo smiled and continued to explain: "In fact, communication is the same, and long-distance communication also depends on satellite phones. At present, the number of communication base stations in the country is not large, most of them are concentrated in large cities, and only in areas where the base station signal is covered, mobile phones can play a role, and there is no need to rely on satellite systems. Like the one we run around, the condition is the satellite phone, and the only way to use the walkie-talkie is not the condition. ”

"The walkie-talkie is a good fit for us." Ding Xiu took off the communication equipment hanging on his clothes and checked it in his hand, "We just need to ensure that the communication in the team is unimpeded, and there are no people we know in other places." ”

"Not really." Gu Beimo smiled, "Just like me and Xiaoyou at the beginning, the two of us were together all day, and we couldn't even use the walkie-talkie." ”

Gu Beimo's popularization of communication made Ding Xiu suddenly think of Chen Jianing, who was far away in the Brilliant City.

"If I have a satellite phone and communication permissions, can I talk to Jia Ning every day?" He thought to himself, inexplicably a little longing.

"Ding Xiu, Lao Gu, it's time for you." Shen You's voice came from the side of the hot spring.

The two girls had already changed into clean clothes in the tent, and they appeared in front of Ding Xiu and Gu Beimo refreshed, with a pleasant temperament, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Looks like you're soaking quite well." Gu Beimo said with a smile.

"Of course it's comfortable, you two should hurry up." Shen You stretched his arms with a smile and stretched his waist again, "I'm a little sleepy after soaking in the hot springs." ”

"Don't get water on your injured arm." Song Xijun admonished.

Gu Beimo nodded, and called Ding Xiu to walk towards the hot spring.

"It's time for us to keep watch." Song Xijun went to the car to take out his weapons, Shen You also released his insect companions, and the two began to patrol the neighborhood.

Ding Xiu immersed his body in the warm water, his spirit relaxed in an instant, he leaned his back against the stone by the pool, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the hot current flowing everywhere in his body.

"It's so fucking comfortable." Gu Beimo soaked in the hot spring, picked up a handful of warm water with both hands and covered his face, and rubbed it vigorously a few times.

"The world is amazing." Ding Xiu suddenly sighed: "There is still hot water coming out of the mountains." ”

"It's all groundwater, where there's hot springs, and there's magma deep underground." Gu Beimo drew a circle with his hand, "The Fuqiu Basin may have belonged to the extinct volcanic terrain area before, and some of the magma under the ground has not yet cooled, and their heat acts on the aquifers in the earth's crust, forming hot water in hot springs.

"I see." Ding Xiu nodded, finally understanding the reason.

The two of them talked a little more about this, and suddenly a dense flock of birds rose over the forest, and they flapped their wings and fled in unison into the distance.

Ding Xiu looked at the birds flying away, his eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked at Gu Beimo, he also saw a solemn look in the other party's eyes.

"There is a situation!" The two said in unison.

"Ding Xiu, Lao Gu, there is a situation!" The voices of Shen You and Song Xijun also came at the same time.
