Chapter 30: The Beast Tamer
When several people walked outside the gate of the oasis, they found dozens of strong men carrying steel bars to and fro, welding metal thorns to the gate, and dozens of people digging trenches in front of the gate and burying spikes at the bottom of the ditch.
Curious, Dore stopped a strong man with a steel bar on his back and asked, "What happened?" Why did you suddenly start reinforcing the iron gate? β
The strong man glanced at them, handed the steel bar on his back to the other man, and said:
"In the past few days, another human gathering area has been attacked by the corpse beast herd, and the order from above is to strengthen the city wall."
After speaking, the strong man wiped his sweat with a towel hanging around his neck, and turned back to carry a bundle of steel bars.
"Another horde of corpse beasts?" Doll kept asking and muttered softly.
Corpse beasts have been dormant in the depths of the wasteland for years, never in direct contact with humans.
However, since the corpse beasts first appeared in groups in the human gathering area where Si Moxue was located, in the past six years, the corpse beast herds have appeared more and more frequently, and the location of their appearance has become closer and closer to the oasis. There is a faint tendency to test the oasis.
Si Moxue also heard the strong man's words on the side, she saw Tao'er staying in place, and quipped: "We live in an oasis, what does the corpse beast herd have to do with us." Thor, you're not usually so worried. β
Dore squeezed out an absent-minded smile at Sim Xue: "Yes, I don't care...... By the way, where are you staying tonight? β
It was getting early evening, and it was imperative for them to find a place to stay so as not to violate the oasis' curfew policy.
However, at this point, they have nowhere else to go except the hotel.
In addition, a few people tossed back and forth in the factory for half a day, and ran around in the fire for half a day, smoky and smoking, and a stinky sweat, and their hair was also stuck to their heads by strands of oil, which was very unpleasant.
Especially Mia pulled her neckline and smelled the smell of her body, and couldn't help but tilt her head and make a retching motion.
Thinking of this, Si Moxue decided to go to the hotel tonight to open a room and stay for one night. I'll go back tomorrow to claim rewards, consider renting a room, etc.
It's still the hotel where Simxue and Mia stayed yesterday.
In order to save money, Si Moxue only opened a standard room, thinking that two small beds could always squeeze out three girls.
"The bed is so small, meow."
This was Mia's first sentence after entering the small hotel, she looked at Si Moxue and made a tearful expression: "Xiao Xue'er, can we open another room meow?" β
"No, no money." Si Moxue coldly refused Mia's request and carried the luggage stored at the front desk into the room.
Seeing that Mia was still struggling with the size of the bed, she kindly reminded: "If you don't go in the bath again, Doll will be ahead of you." β
"I'm going to wash." Mia was distracted in an instant, shook off her shoes and rushed to the bathroom.
After a while, her voice came from the bathroom: "Na, do you have any pajamas to lend me a set of meows?" β
Helplessly, Doll pulled out an old nightdress from her luggage and handed it to Mia through the bathroom door.
Mia didn't answer for a long time, and Dore asked impatiently, "Miss Mia, do you have any questions?" β
"That ......" Mia's voice came from the bathroom, and it wasn't really heard because of the bathroom door, "Do you have any pink clothes......"
"Nope. Love to wear it or not, I took it away if I don't wear it. β
"Wear it, wear it, I can't wear it?"
Mia finally takes the nightdress from Todd's hand, and the sound of water comes from the bathroom.
"You wash a little less, the water here is another money." Doll shouted as she tapped at the bathroom door.
The sound of water in the bathroom was a little quieter.
Tao Er left the bathroom door and walked towards Si Moxue, who was sorting her luggage next to the bed: "She's so picky, why should we bring this trouble back?" β
After checking all the luggage and confirming that there were no missing items, Si Moxue closed the box and said to Taoer, "No matter what, she is now our partner." You should be gentle with her in the future. β
Doll let out a weak "oh" and collapsed on her back on the cot.
After a while, Tao'er's muffled voice came: "Mo Xue, you are too gentle, this can't ......"
"Yes, am I gentle?" Si Moxue smiled dumbly.
"Well, it's always been gentle."
Maybe it's my mother's influence. In Si Moxue's memory, her mother was a woman who was always gentle and gentle, and never even spoke loudly. In Si Moxue's memory after she was five years old, her mother had always raised her alone, so her temperament was very similar to her mother to a large extent.
"Mo Xue, do you have a secret?" Doll asked, lying on the bed.
"Huh? Yes. β
"Will you tell me?"
"Of course, aren't we good friends who met in the organization?" Si Moxue said in her usual gentle tone, as if she was coaxing her little sister who was cheating, "What about Taoer?" β
Since they met under Aunt Hua six years ago, they have all supported each other along the way through the ups and downs, and they have long been like sisters.
ββ¦β¦ Yes. β
After Taoer finished speaking, a fierce man sat up from the bed and shouted at the bathroom: "Mia, have you finished washing?" Dragging. β
"It's almost there, don't rush!"
That night, the three girls squeezed into the bed put together in the hotel and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, when Si Moxue woke up from a dream of being pressed by a corpse beast, Mia and Dore were still asleep.
Doll went to bed late because she had insomnia last night, frowning at this time, and hadn't woken up yet.
Mia......
Mia is pure snooze.
Si Moxue looked at the saliva sleeping on Mia's pillow, the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously, and she moved Mia's thighs pressed against her stomach, turned over and got out of bed.
After washing up lightly, Sim Moxue tore off a piece of paper from Tao'er's small notebook, wrote a few lines, and put it next to the bed. Then he opened the door and walked out.
Walking out of the hotel, Si Moxue breathed hard in the cold air of the early morning, and strode towards the nearest silver hall - she planned to take advantage of the lack of people in the morning to go to the hall first to receive the reward.
Sure enough, as Si Moxue expected, she came early, and there were not many people in line in front of the service desk in the hall.
In front of her was a tall and thin young man, who handed the clue items and boxes to the reception lady, and swiped the card to confirm that the task was completed in one go, without saying a word during the whole process.
Because Si Moxue was standing too close, the young man almost bumped into her when he turned around.
He glanced at Si Moxue coldly, called "Mimi", and a little flower cat jumped on his shoulder, and then left without looking back.
It turned out to be a "beast tamer".
After the apocalypse, although most of the animals have been mutated by radiation and are short-tempered and extremely aggressive. However, some animals still have relatives in their genes, and it is the job of the trainer to train these potential animals to become powerful assistants to humans.
The Beast Tamer itself is extremely gifted and affinable, and is rarely seen in the Oasis. Once the identity is confirmed, it is the object of various high-level stammers. How could an animal tamer be alone in the Silver Hall?
Si Moxue recalled the name of the young man she had just seen: "It's actually called a sting, it's interesting......"
But this is not a problem she needs to consider, leaving aside her doubts, Si Moxue handed the reward notice in her hand to the reception lady.
"Hah, so much money?"
Si Moxue exclaimed in surprise when she saw the balance rising.
"Yes, to thank you for your efforts in this factory incident." Said the reception lady.
Si Moxue smiled, took the identity card, and walked towards the door happily.
Nonsense, who doesn't love money.
As soon as she went out, Si Moxue was stopped by a woman: "Miss Si Moxue, wait." β
Si Moxue turned her head to look at the hamster gene hybrid, Lena and her son.
Lena took her son's hand and ran panting from the other side of the street to Si Moxue: "Miss Si, I went to the silver hall where I saw you last time to look for it, but I didn't find you." I asked all the way to your rental house, but I learned that you had moved away and wanted to see you here. β
She pulled a package out of her bosom: "I've come to thank you for finding my sonβI don't know what I'm going to do without him...... It's a little bit of our own dried meat and wild vegetables, and a little money. I hope you don't dislike it. "The package is bulging, and Lena must have stuffed all the inventory in the house.
Lena stuffed the package into Si Moxue's hand, took her son's hand and was about to leave: "I'm sorry, I still have to go to my employer's house to clean up, I can't thank you properly, I'm sorry." β
"Well, it's okay."
Si Moxue watched Lena drag her son and hurriedly disappear at the end of the street, pinching the full package in her hand, and a smile appeared on her face.
