Proud City Chapter 123: Eat the licorice
"Hiss-Xiyue, can you light it up? I've got shards in my face! Huang Jinyu gasped and said.
Fang Xiyue rolled her eyes, continued to bandage Huang Jinyu's face, causing the latter to scream, and said, "Please, I'm already very light, okay?" I've never cooked so lightly. ”
"Huh?" As soon as he heard Fang Xiyue's words, Huang Jinyu even forgot about his screams, and said curiously, "You can also cook?" Why haven't you said that before? ”
"You didn't ask me, and besides, what's there to say?" After Fang Xiyue bandaged it, she cut off the remaining bandages, then tied a knot, and went to deal with his right hand again.
Huang Jinyu stretched out his hand cooperatively, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this is true." However, I have heard that, according to statistics, so far, less than 5% of the people in the entire solar system can cook. In this way, you are quite powerful, after all, I don't know if you can become the 5% of the powerhouses in the entire solar system. ”
Hearing Huang Jinyu's praise, Fang Xiyue felt beautiful in her heart for some reason, but she didn't show it on the surface, she just said arrogantly: "Hmph, I know if you don't say it." ”
"Uh...... Xiyue, are you bandaged in the wrong place? Just when Fang Xiyue was proud in her heart, Huang Jinyu suddenly pointed to her right hand and said.
"Huh? What the? Fang Xiyue suddenly came back to her senses and asked Huang Jinyudao.
Huang Jinyu raised his right hand and said, "I injured my palm, why did you wrap my arm in a bandage?" ”
"Ahh I'm sorry, I'll remove it and re-bandage it right away! Fang Xiyue blushed suddenly, embarrassedly removed the blood-stained bandage and threw it away, and then took a new bandage and wrapped it around him.
"How's it going, it's better now, isn't it?"
A few minutes later, Fang Xiyue, who had re-bandaged Huang Jinyu's right hand, wiped the sweat from her forehead, exhaled lightly and stood up and asked.
Huang Jinyu moved his hand casually, nodded and said, "It's really much better, but what did you just take to plug my blood hole?" Won't it affect its healing? Huang Jinyu asked.
"Of course not, it's made of artificial connective tissue that speeds up wound healing. While the wound is healed, it will be eaten by the cells because it is rich in nutrients, so when the wound heals, it will also be eaten. Fang Xiyue explained.
"I see." Huang Jinyu nodded in relief.
"Huh? Xiyue? Why are you here, didn't you go to your destination with Huang Jinyu? ”
At this time, a suspicious inquiry came from behind the two of them, and Fang Xiyue turned to look. I saw Lu Qiyi leisurely walking in front of a group of people who supported each other.
"Captain, we encountered the attack of the Beastmaster, and we delayed the journey, so we didn't reach our destination. And then the captain, I would like to ask, they, what is the situation? Fang Xiyue said, pointing to the group of guys behind Lu Qiyi and asked.
Those who supported were none other than the other seven. At this time, they didn't know what they had experienced, and they were all in high spirits, as if their kidneys were overdrawn...... Ahem, that's the case anyway, they walk by instinct now.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just made them eat a licorice plant each, and that's it." Lu Qiyi shrugged and said.
"Licorice?" Fang Xiyue was stunned, "Can that thing be eaten?" ”
Licorice, as the name suggests, is licorice that has been exposed to nuclear radiation and produces mutations. This kind of licorice, not only the shape of dead wood, the gas with the carrion, the taste of excretion, but also has no medicinal value, and even contains a large number of toxins, although it is not a fatal poison, but it can corrode the mind, if it is not a determined person, this nuclear licorice can kill you!
Of course, it is not to die, but to become a vegetative person, and it cannot be treated by modern medical techniques, because this is a manifestation of "heart death", and it is impossible to be treated by external objects.
"Of course I do." Lu Qi nodded a little.
"Then Captain, why are you?" Fang Xiyue looked at the group of people and wondered.
"As the "New Compendium of Herbs" says, this nuclear licorice is indeed harmful, but I don't think so." Lu Qiyi explained, "In the past two days, I asked people to investigate all the people who have eaten licorice, and found that the 'lethality rate' of this thing is actually only an astonishing 30% low, which is not very scary. But it is these 30% of the 'dead people' that make everyone fear and dislike nuclear licorice. ”
But there was another thing they didn't notice, and that was the people who survived. According to the statistics of the people surveyed, I noticed that 80% of the people who have eaten licorice and survived are strong people above the S level, and the rest have become the bosses of each side, and they do not have to worry about food and clothing. ”
So, I guessed that although the side effects of this licorice were very obvious, if it survived, it would be able to sharpen my will to a great extent. In addition to this, I actually think that licorice has the effect of enhancing physical fitness, otherwise there would not be so many people who have eaten licorice to become so strong. ”
"In order to verify the authenticity of this conclusion, I also went to the wild to pick a few licorice plants to eat, because the market did not buy them. To be honest, it's really not delicious, I almost threw up......" Speaking of this, Lu Qiyi couldn't help but burst into tears, at that time, he didn't know that the licorice would be so unpalatable, but the side effects of licorice were too scary, so no one ate it.
But unexpectedly, those entrances made him almost return to the west!
"Uh...... Sympathize with the captain for three seconds. Fang Xiyue said in her heart.
After a few seconds, Lu Qiyi retracted his emotions and continued to explain: "Although the road to verification is very difficult, I finally proved that my point of view is right. Eating licorice and surviving can indeed sharpen the will, and the spiritual uplift is very great. ”
"The physique can also be improved, although I don't know what the reason is, but the preliminary guess is that the body should be in order to expel these toxins, so it secretes some kind of substance that can fight against it, this substance, and has the effect of enhancing the physique, so eating licorice can achieve the result of strengthening the body."
"So, in order to speed up their progress and let them go further in the future, I forced them to eat licorice, although the amount was not as much as what I ate at the time, but looking at their performance at the beginning, it was no different from my performance when I first ate licorice."
As soon as Lu Qi finished speaking, he looked at Fang Xiyue and asked, "Do you want to have one too?" ”
"Uh...... I ......" Fang Xiyue hesitated, although Lu Qiyi said that eating licorice has all kinds of benefits, and he can also trust it, but she can cook, her taste buds are different after all, they can stand it, maybe she will vomit as soon as she eats.
"It's okay, it's still a long time anyway, you want to eat it again and again." Hearing Lu Qiyi's words, Fang Xiyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, by the way, what about Jin Yu's kid? Why didn't you see him with you? Instead, there's a cosplay mummy guy here. Lu Qi looked around, then stared at the guy whose head and hands were wrapped in bandages from head to toe, and then said.
"Well, Captain, actually...... Mummy, he is Jin Woo. Fang Xiyue pointed at Huang Jinyu and said in a low voice.
"What?" Lu Qiyi was dumbfounded, "Doesn't that kid Huang Jinyu look quite honest?" How do you want to dress up as a mummy?! ”
"Captain, I'm not pretending to be a mummy, I was injured in the battle, and Xiyue helped me bandage like this." Huang Jinyu explained helplessly.
"Huh? The mouth is not wrapped? It seems that you really didn't get a mummy. Lu Qiyi nodded seriously.
"Captain, have you paid attention to it?" Huang Jinyu said depressedly.
"Oh, whatever! By the way, Jin Yu, you heard the conversation between me and Fang Xiyue, do you want to eat a licorice? Lu Qiyi asked.
"Yes." Huang Jinyu replied very simply.
"Jin Yu, you have thought about it, it's a core licorice, the kind that tastes worse than!" Fang Xiyue was anxious, and muttered in Huang Jinyu's ear.
"So what?" Huang Jinyu said, "What can make people stronger is a good thing, and this thing will not violate the law, military regulations and morality if eaten, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Well said! This is what a soldier should look like, Xiyue, you have to learn from him, don't be so cowardly and retreat...... Hehe, Jin Yu, eat it~" Lu Qiyi first taught Fang Xiyue a lesson with righteous words, and then took out the nuclear licorice from his backpack with a cheap smile and handed it to Huang Jinyu.
Huang Jinyu took it and ate it without saying a word, and his face was expressionless...... Nonsense, the face is covered in bandages, and even if there is a change, others can't see it.
However, from Huang Jinyu's violently trembling body, you can see how tormented he is now. At this moment, the trembling on his body suddenly stopped, and he slowly collapsed under the expectant gaze of the two.
But Fang Xiyue's eyes were quick and she hugged him. "Jin Yu, how are you?" Fang Xiyue said with concern.
"Don't worry, he has just entered the first stage of eating licorice - [sleepwalking], at this time, he will have a dream, a dream that tortures him, and it can also be said to be his inner demon. And he must rely on his own efforts to defeat the demons in his heart. Lu Qi explained as he approached.
"And are they too?" Fang Xiyue pointed at Mu Feixue and the others and asked.
"Of course...... But soon it won't, because looking at the time, someone is about to defeat the demons. As soon as Lu Qi said, he suddenly rushed forward and slammed his palm on Fang Xiyue's back, causing her to fly out with Huang Jinyu unprepared, opening her mouth wide and shouting.
Then Lu Qi flicked his right hand, and a core licorice was bounced out by him, and after an arc, it fell into her mouth without any difference.
"Hmm-" Falling to the ground, Fang Xiyue struggled a few times, and then like Huang Jinyu, after a tremble. Falling asleep, of course, it wasn't going to be a good dream.
"Hmph, sample, I finally found a way to improve you, and I still don't want to eat it! …… Hehe, you can't eat it, that kind of bitterness is not something you can't bear if you want to, it's just bitter for Fei Xue. ”
Lu Qi looked at Mu Feixue's forehead in distress, cold sweat kept breaking. With his understanding of Mu Feixue, he doesn't have to guess to know that Mu Feixue's inner demon is definitely the disappearance of her father and those two uncles.
