Chapter 58: On the Banks of the Reservoir
"What, do you need to go into the water? Brother Xiao, let me go too! I'm a master swimmer! Hey, hey, what are you looking for, just ask! I'm going to do it! Without waiting for Zhang Jing to answer, Peng Ling, who had a lot of words, had already rushed to shout, and looked eager to try.
Since Peng Ling didn't know that there might be a spar underwater, although she knew that Chen Xiao and the others were eager to find the reservoir, she didn't know what their motives were after finding the reservoir.
"Don't worry! Brother Xiao, our three brothers must catch all the spars in this reservoir without leaking a piece! Zhang Jing was a little stunned when he saw Peng Ling snatch his words, but after being stunned for a moment, he quickly nodded at Chen Xiao and agreed.
"Heh~, don't make a mess with you, you girl! This is not a joke, if you don't find the baby for a while, someone else will have to go into the water to save you! Without waiting for Chen Xiao's interface, the little fat man first retorted in a mocking tone.
"Dead fatty, you dare to underestimate me, when I learned to swim, I guess you were still playing with mud! I'm going to have to show you what I'm capable of in a moment! Hum! After Peng Ling scolded, she began to compete with the little fat man.
"Hey, you girl is so rude, you don't even call the fat brother anymore! When I was in Y County at that time, why wasn't I as arrogant as I am now? Do you still have a conscience? You're a white-eyed wolf! When the little fat man heard Peng Ling's derogatory words, he immediately became angry, and his tone became annoyed.
"What's wrong? She's a girl! It's normal to be timid! You can't deny me anything because of this! If I had no conscience, would I be able to lead you so wholeheartedly? Hum! You're a dead fat man with no conscience! Peng Ling saw the little fat man's angry expression, and when she heard his questioning again, she was suddenly a little angry, and she responded unceremoniously.
"Haha, it's ridiculous, with the way you look, you dare to say that you are a girl, obviously a tomboy! Look at Ma Ying, that's the real girl! Hey! Besides, who would believe that a tomboy has any real talent to learn......" The little fat man couldn't help but mock a little proudly when he saw Peng Ling being angry with him.
"Okay, little fat man, there's nothing else to do, you go and Li Han to help Zhang Jing and them, they will go into the water for a while, you are responsible for pulling the rope, as long as the appointed time comes, pull them up immediately, so as to avoid any accidents!" When Chen Xiao saw that Peng Ling was so angry with the little fat man that he was about to cry, he hurriedly and sternly stopped the little fat man's words and arranged a task for him.
"Peng Ling, don't care, the little fat man is just a broken mouth, he likes to quarrel with people, he has no malice towards you, you will slowly get used to it in the future! Also, you really know how to swim, right? ”
After Chen Xiao watched the little fat man reluctantly walk towards Li Han, he couldn't help but be speechless for a while, this Peng Ling and the little fat man are really a pair of enemies, not only do they love to talk a lot, but they also talk a lot, it is estimated that they will often quarrel in the future, but everyone has always been headed by themselves, so naturally they can't sit idly by, so they can only persuade Peng Ling with kind words.
"What, Brother Xiao, even you don't believe me? All right! You don't have to call me if you have anything in the future, I can't do anything, I won't participate in anything, can't you? Woo woo...... "When Peng Ling heard Chen Xiao's comfort, not only did she not calm down her anger, but she nervously asked Chen Xiao sensitively, and faintly cried with a hint of crying.
"Hey, Peng Ling, don't be angry! Who said I don't believe you anymore, I just confirmed that you really know how to swim, and then I'm going to let you and Zhang Jing go into the water to find the spars, you're too sensitive! When Chen Xiao saw Peng Ling's aggrieved appearance, he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, and explained with a wry smile.
"Really? Brother Xiao, I know that you are the best, not as bad as that dead fat man, you will definitely believe me, don't worry! Brother Xiao, I'm sure I can help you find the hedron underwater! ”
Seeing Chen Xiao's anxious look, and after explaining with an embarrassed face, Peng Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter, and even her tone became a lot softer, but she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted in surprise: "Wait, what spar, is there a spar underwater?" ”
Chen Xiao was also taken aback when he heard Peng Ling's exclamation, and he was stunned, so he had to patiently explain the characteristics of the spar to her, until Peng Ling showed a look of sudden realization, and rushed to Zhang Jing and others not far away with an excited face, Chen Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he reminded uneasily: "Be careful, don't be reckless!" Safety first! ”
"Don't worry! Brother Xiao, I will definitely be able to find a lot of spars, and I will definitely surprise that dead fat man when the time comes! After Peng Ling heard Chen Xiao's reminder, she answered without looking back while running, looking full of confidence.
Chen Xiao shook his head and smiled, and after watching Peng Ling, Zhang Jing and others walk towards the edge of the reservoir with tools, he sighed to Xiao Guo and others beside him: "Oh, this team has become bigger, and it is not easy to manage, it is noisy all day long, and it makes people's heads big......"
"Ma Jing, Ma Ying and Gao Feng, a few of you go to get some firewood and water nearby, and prepare to bury the pot to make rice, Xiao Guo, let's scout the terrain around to see if there are any other humans or animals, and find a suitable place to camp by the way!" Seeing that Xiao Guo and the others were helpless when they heard their words, Chen Xiao instructed a few people about the next matters......
So, in the following time, Chen Xiao and others began to divide their labor, some went to collect firewood, some went to the surrounding area to survey the terrain, and the rest went to the edge of the reservoir to carry out the task of salvaging spars.
"Haha, there are really a lot of spars under the water, it's incredible! We're going rich! Giggle......"
Just when Chen Xiao was busy scouting the terrain around the reservoir, he suddenly heard Peng Ling's excited and surprised cry from the water, and suddenly looked at the water surface with some surprise.
I saw that on the river more than ten meters away from the bank of the reservoir, Peng Ling was showing half of her body, holding a small iron basin in her hand, which flashed a few green rays of light from time to time, and Peng Ling was also swimming quickly to the river at this time, with an excited look.
Seeing Peng Ling salvage the spar from the river, everyone on the shore couldn't help but be excited, and they all looked sideways at the river with eager eyes, and even the work in their hands stopped, looking attentive, which shows how great the temptation of the spar is to everyone.
Chen Xiao was also relieved when he saw that there was really a spar in this reservoir, and his eyes became even more vibrant.
Because Chen Xiao finally verified his idea in front of the Dingfeng River, that is, in the water source where there are no fish, there must be spars, and the number will definitely not be small, after all, a large number of spars fell in the sky at the beginning, according to that density, each piece of water can drop a large number of spars.
Of course, luck is also essential to be able to find the hedron in this case, because once a human or animal discovers the hedron in a certain area of water in advance, then the hedron in that water area will definitely be absorbed.
Fortunately, small animals or microorganisms do not have the ability to directly absorb spars, which can be proved from the little mouse that Chen Xiao and others saw in T City that exploded and died, if it were not for this, then there would be no spar underwater, because even if there are no fish creatures in some waters, small and plankton are not uncommon, and those spars will inevitably be absorbed by these tiny creatures.
Judging from the mutated creatures he has seen along the way, Chen Xiao has also discovered an imagination, that is, he has never found mutated small animals and insects, and the size can meet the standard of successful mutation, the smallest is also an adult bat, and some other fish, insects, birds and beasts similar to the size of bats, and the little mouse he saw at the beginning was only two or three inches in size, and it has not yet reached the size of an adult mouse, maybe if it grows up, it will be able to withstand the energy in the spar.
Although these tiny creatures can't directly absorb the energy in the spar, they don't know if they can draw energy from the mutated plant fruit or animal flesh, which should be theoretically feasible, and the key depends on whether their ** can withstand these energies, but these problems can only be left for future research, and they don't have the leisure to think about these things now.
After thinking about this, Chen Xiao began to continue to patrol the surrounding area, and the others continued to devote themselves to their work after being excited for a while, but fortunately, in the following time, there were no strangers and other creatures near this reservoir, and the four people in charge of salvaging the spars also had good news, and continued to send batches of spars to the shore, making everyone smile even more.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Xiao asked the people who salvaged the spars to stop the work at hand, and beckoned everyone to eat and rest in the camp they found, because it was already very dark, he ordered everyone to start work again tomorrow morning, and at this time Ma Jing and the others had already prepared boiling water and food.
During this period of time, Zhang Jing and the other four people took turns to go into the water in two groups, because each group of people can basically find more than a dozen spars every time, so far, they have accumulated nearly three hundred ordinary spars, which are enough to fill a large fuel tank, and several people have also searched most of the area of this reservoir.
After the little fat man saw Peng Ling now, he no longer had the previous cynicism, and his attitude became a lot more polite, not only praising Peng Ling's ability, but also faintly having a hint of sycophancy, and everyone couldn't help but feel a burst of disdain.
However, the little fat man didn't care about other people's eyes, and still happily greeted the four people who went into the water to find treasures, and complimented him from time to time, looking like he had met the God of Wealth, and the big fuel tank full of spars had been carefully held in his arms, and his eyes glanced at the fuel tank from time to time, with a look of self-satisfaction.
The little fat man is now full of ambition, not only the fuel tank he removed from the car comes in handy, but also so many green spars are in his arms, how can he not make him feel good, you must know that this is the first time he has seen so many spars!
Now he doesn't care if Peng Ling is a tomboy or not, as long as he can bring him a large number of spars, it must be a shemale, and he will also be extremely enthusiastic.
Peng Ling, who was sitting in front of the campfire in the camp, was also in a happy mood now, from the moment she salvaged the spare, it attracted everyone's great attention, not only the dead fat man who underestimated her before is now very polite to him, looking like a familiar person at first sight, but also the big guy began to look at her with admiration, and took the initiative to talk to her, and even the tone was much more enthusiastic, making her feel more and more the importance of doing something for everyone.
The camp where everyone is now was discovered by Xiao Guo when he inspected the surrounding terrain before, this camp is an irregular deep pit, five or six meters long, three or four meters wide, about two meters deep, in a low-lying area on the edge of the reservoir, the front and back are covered with meteorites.
Due to the damage caused by the meteorite hitting the ground here, and the surrounding meteorites have formed this crater-like existence, but it provides a suitable place for everyone to camp, because if you camp here, even if you light a bonfire, others will not easily find out.
After everyone ate and drank, they were arranged by Chen Xiao to train for two hours as usual, but except for the few new people who were a little unbearable, the others had slowly adapted to this training mode, and the water quality had also improved a little compared to before, at least they could hold on until the end of the training before they began to rest, and even the little fat man could persist until the end.
In addition, as the team began to grow, Chen Xiao also taught some of the army's enemy formations and some combined attack tactics to everyone, and organized everyone to conduct drills for future wartime needs.
After the training, Chen Xiao divided the night watchmen into groups, and then arranged for the others to start absorbing the spars except for the people on duty.
As soon as the little fat man heard that he was going to absorb the spars, he poured out the remaining boiling water in the big black pot without waiting for Chen Xiao's instructions, and then poured most of the spars in the oil tank into the big iron pot until the iron pot took up most of it.
"Haha, come on! Guys, want to be Superman? Hurry up! Hey! Fat man, I'm one step closer to becoming a superman......" After the little fat man finished pouring the spare, he shouted excitedly, and then he couldn't wait to put his right hand into the pot, and after the green light entered the body, his body immediately fell to the ground with a "plop", and even the words stopped abruptly.
Looking at the anxious appearance of the little fat monkey, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads in disdain, and it wasn't until Chen Xiao arranged all the matters that the others walked to the iron pot one by one and began to absorb it, and the people behind them properly placed their companions who had fallen to the ground around the pit......
After a night of silence, a group of eleven people slowly spent a passionate night in the process of taking turns on duty to absorb the spars, and the spars in the fuel tank slowly decreased over time......
Among the crowd, except for the five new members such as Zhang Jing, Gao Feng, and Peng Ling, who still needed an hour to absorb a spare, the remaining six people including Chen Xiao had greatly shortened the time required to absorb the spare.
Among them, Guo Zirong can absorb an ordinary spar in just over twenty minutes because of his great strength, and the four sisters, Little Fat Man, Li Han and Ma Jing, because they have also absorbed a lot of spars before, can absorb a spar in just over thirty or forty minutes.
And because Chen Xiao is the strongest among the people, coupled with the crystal nucleus formed by the high-grade spar, the time it takes to absorb the spar each time is only half an hour, and he can absorb as many as three pieces each time.
For Chen Xiao's difference, the most surprising among everyone was Peng Ling, when she first saw this scene, it was as if she had seen a powerful ghost, and she couldn't say a word of horror! It wasn't until I saw him more times later that I slowly got used to it, but looking at Chen Xiao's gaze, there was still some unbelievability.
Gao Feng, Zhang Jing and the other four teenagers usually listened to the little fat man, Li Han and others boast about Chen Xiao's toughness, so although they were a little dumbfounded, they quickly adapted to it, and gradually became accustomed to it.
