Chapter Twenty-Nine: Stripping the Spoils of War
"Shhhh
Falling on the grass on his back, Wang Wenqing gasped and muttered:
"Miscalculated, underestimated the other party's speed, and almost finished. Your trick of solidifying the air is beautiful enough, did you research it yourself? β
"You made me fight with my head. The potential of the potential will explode at the moment of life and death, and I just used the potential explosion to instantly solidify the air into crystals, which is used as a friction agent to slow down the speed of our fall. This is what you just taught me last night, the transformation of the form of matter, have you forgotten? Su Daier said with difficulty lying on the grass not far away.
"I taught you. But remember to use this trick with caution next time. The instant disappearance of air in an area will change the pressure in this area, causing a regional loss of pressure, and the nitrogen in the human blood will turn into gas, causing us to die quickly, which is why astronauts must wear pressurized suits when walking in space. Fortunately, it was only a momentary loss of pressure, otherwise, we would have explained it here today......" Wang Wenqing said calmly.
Hearing this, Su Dai'er's face suddenly changed, and she muttered to herself in frustration.
"Looks like I still have a lot to learn."
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, Wang Wenqing sat up from the ground, picked up the crossbow and aimed at the giant insect that was still writhing and approaching its fat body that fell ten meters away, and shot an arrow that hit the giant worm's brain. The giant worm hissed again, struggled a few times, and then stopped moving. Wang Wenqing looked at the bubbling green liquid and said regretfully:
"Alas, alas, this venom is a very powerful weapon, but I don't have a container to keep it. This thing can even corrode glass, steel, and concrete, so what should I do to keep it? β
"Then why don't you just use it to save it yourself?" Su Deer suggested.
Hearing this, Wang Wenqing's expression froze, and then he suddenly clapped his hands:
"That's right! Its own body is not corroded, indicating that its body must be made of special materials. Without further ado, let's do it now! β
Before the words fell, Wang Wenqing had already pulled out a short knife and ran over, cut a large piece of leather from the outside of the body of the giant insect with difficulty, and then stuffed the leather into a glass bottle with a stick, and then wrapped the bottle mouth with the leather that was extra out of the bottle, and finally made a bottle stopper by wrapping the iron piece with leather, carefully poured a bottle of venom, and then concocted it in the same way, and made six bottles of venom in a row before he was satisfied with his hand, and said to himself:
"This is a Wenqing brand special corrosion bomb, and if you don't like it in the future, you will throw it over to ensure that the effect is significant!"
"These leathers are highly resistant to corrosion and can be made into leather armor or leather clothing on the outside. And, although it's a little disgusting to think about, it actually feels very good to the touch, and it has a deerskin texture, so if you make it into clothes, girls must like it too, right? Su Daier also came over and said.
Wang Wenqing expressed his approval:
"Yes, yes, yes. Help me peel off all the outer leather of this bug, and let's take it back to nitrate, it's a pretty good batch of leather goods, and it's much more practical to exchange this with the survivors than to use flashy Coke and chocolate. β
When the two of them were busy, the two girls who had been hiding in the dilapidated house also walked over slowly in fear and whispered:
"Brother, sister...... Just now, did you clean up these two giant worms? β
"That's right, it's me. You two are the survivors who just called for help. Didn't get hurt? Su Dai'er put down the short knife and asked with concern.
"Yes. Just now...... I was so scared just now, so I asked God for help, and sure enough, God sent you to save us, you must be God's messengers! Yashi pulled her sister Yajun to kneel down to Wang Wenqing and Su Dai'er, and said gratefully.
"I am not an angel of God, I am God." Wang Wenqing teased.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Su Daier glanced at Wang Wenqing fiercely, walked over and picked up the two girls:
"Alright, don't be afraid, we've got the monster covered. Are you sisters? Are the surviving aborigines of the city? Where are you based? β
Yashi and Yajun glanced at each other. After a long time, EstΓ©e cringed and said:
"We ...... Having never left the city since we were born, my mother has been living in the sewers with us, avoiding that 'big event'. Later, the women who called themselves 'Yuzuki' came here and looted the survivors, and the older women were either killed by them or captured to work as coolies. Young, obedient girls are recruited as new members and burned and looted for them, while disobedient girls are used as bait, skinned by them, and hung on the hooks of cranes to lure swarms out of their holes......"
"These ogres! Mad woman! It's just perverted! Su Dai'er clenched her longbow with a pale face, eager to fight to the death with Xiyue now.
Suddenly, Yashi couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice:
"A month ago, our stronghold was also breached by them, and both me and Yajun were captured by them, and they were going to use us as bait to attract the swarm, but then, while they were not looking, we escaped from their camp with two dozen girls. They killed more than a dozen girls on the road, leaving only nine in a nearby factory. Yajun was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, so we secretly went to the food warehouse of the military factory, who knows-"
"Okay, don't cry, it's all over, everything will be fine. Where's your buddies? Su Dai'er gently stroked the frightened Yashi's head and comforted her.
"Food warehouse? You just said food warehouse!? β
Suddenly, Wang Wenqing, who was immersed in his work, suddenly raised his head and asked. Yashi was stunned for a moment, and nodded slightly:
"Yes. Food warehouse. I still don't know who our biological father is, but I heard from my mother that my father was the workshop director of the military factory, and he survived the disaster and married dozens of wives and concubines, and our mother was one of them. My father liked to drink, and after drinking, he would talk about some things about the factory. He said there was a wartime munitions factory, a production workshop underground, an emergency reserve warehouse, an ammunition depot, a rare metal depot, a chemical depot and so on...... "EstΓ©e tried to recall.
"Great!"
Wang Wenqing had already heard the stars in his eyes, and grabbed Yashi's shoulder, completely ignoring her frightened face:
"Where! Take me, take me! β
"You're scaring girls!"
Su Daier couldn't bear to kick Wang Wenqing away, then squatted down and said gently:
"Sister, we're not bad people, we're here to save people. Is your father still gone? Could you please tell us exactly where we want to go and find something useful to save more people! β
Estee shook her head:
"When I was young, my father died, because he was always drinking, and he beat his mothers, and when they couldn't take it anymore, they tied him up, forced him to draw a map, and then threw him outside and fed him worms. The map, right here. β
As she spoke, Yashi took out a yellowed piece of paper and handed it to Su Dai'er.
