Chapter 55: Worm Shell Armor
Yang Song looked at his tearful wife, but his face sank, and he reprimanded with some annoyance: "What are you doing with these useless words?" ”
Seeing that her husband was angry, Wang Pingping hurriedly wiped away her tears, and smiled apologetically at Li Mo: "I'm sorry, I made you laugh." ”
Li Mo smiled: "I should thank you for your kindness, I will consider your suggestion." ”
It just so happened that Li Yun also made breakfast for Wang Pingping, walked closer, and put a plate on the coffee table in front of her. This is a plate of simply fried insect meat with several mutated plants added.
"Sister Yun, you can get some for Xiao Li too." Wang Pingping glanced at Li Mo, Xu was a little embarrassed to use chopsticks because it was the first time for an outsider to come to the door.
But before Li Yun had time to speak, Yang Song said angrily: "You can just eat it yourself, don't worry about others." ”
This man is quite sensible. Of course, Li Mo would not think that Yang Song was reluctant to entertain himself. On the contrary, he was worried that his wife's hospitality would arouse his suspicions.
In the last days, poisoning is the easiest way to deal with evolutionaries and abilities.
Therefore, if Yang Song really asked Li Yun to prepare food for himself, Li Mo would not dare to eat it. In particular, this person still has a deep understanding of mutant plants, and I think he will also dabble in mutated poisonous weeds.
Of course, Li Mo wouldn't make Wang Pingping's face too ugly, so he said: "We evolved people, it's better to eat raw." ”
After speaking, he took out a piece of insect meat from his backpack and gnawed it with a smile.
This excuse is normal, whether it is insect meat or animal meat, once it has been heat-treated. It will destroy the evolutionary elements within it.
Therefore, Wang Pingping's way of eating is for the evolutionary and the capable. It's simply a waste.
Wang Pingping looked at Li Mo and smiled: "It's me who is confused." Forgot about this for a while. ”
In fact, when her husband reminded her just now, she realized her mistake. The thought of casually entertaining others to eat is suspicious.
However, Li Mo was very concerned about her face, which made her a little grateful, but also a little more kind to her.
Then the four of them chatted again, but Yang Song didn't say much, basically Li Mo asked something, and he answered.
But as long as he knows, he won't prevaricate. However, it provided Li Mo with relatively detailed information.
However, for Li Mo, since he figured out the purpose of his entry into the city, Yang Song didn't seem to have any interest in him.
Generally speaking, even if a stranger meets a person, most of them will probe the other party through communication.
But Yang Song didn't mean anything like that, as if he didn't have the slightest curiosity about Li Mo.
It's the same for the gathering place, I didn't ask half a sentence.
On the contrary, Wang Pingping asked Li Mo a lot about Peishan. It can be seen that she is paralyzed and yearns for a human gathering place.
And when Wang Pingping finished breakfast, Yang Song rarely took the initiative to open her mouth.
He looked at Li Mo, but suddenly asked, "Li Mo." You got that sickle bug leg from a red flying insect, right? ”
Li Mo nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Hearing him ask about the worm legs, Li Mo couldn't help but be a little curious.
Yang Song heard his confirmation. There was a hint of hesitation on his face, and he muttered for a moment. Cai said: "Can you lend me the worm leg for a use?" ”
Well? Li Mo's face was stunned for a moment, but the next moment. I understood what he meant. Asked, "Are you going to cut the shell of a hard beetle?" ”
Yang Song nodded as expected: "Well, I have hunted this kind of beetle before. But although it was not difficult to kill this bug, I couldn't find a guy who could cut the worm beetle. But your legs can, for I've seen with my own eyes, the scythe-ridden flying insects, and slay beetles with their legs. ”
As Yang Song said, for him, who has a strength-strengthening gene, it is indeed not difficult to smash the shell of a hard beetle with a blunt object.
But if you change to a cold weapon like a knife, it may not be possible, and you may even be able to break the knife.
Therefore, if you want to cut the shell, it is even more difficult. Even if you use a hacksaw to saw, you may not be able to saw.
The scythe legs of the red fly are much sharper than those of steel knives, and are obviously an excellent choice for cutting insect shells.
Li Mo was very happy about this, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can use it." ”
He could guess that Yang Song wanted to cut the insect shell, which was nothing more than to make a talisman.
In fact, in the previous time and space before Li Mo's rebirth, this kind of insect shell armor was also very common.
It's just that he doesn't have much interest in this now, because although the defense of the insect shell is very good, it is difficult for the hard shell to change its shape. Even if you put it on your body as a cuirass, it will affect your mobility, and it is not very practical.
But Yang Song was very happy when he saw that he agreed. He couldn't help but smile on his face and said, "Then thank you, I'll get it now." After that, he stood up and looked at Li Yun again: "You also come to help." ”
Li Mo saw his excited look and simply stood up. Anyway, he was idle, so he said, "Can I go and see?" ”
"Yes." Yang Song did not refuse, so he simply pushed his wife to the right warehouse.
After entering the storeroom, he first turned over the corpses of the two hard beetles.
Although the shell is extremely hard, the belly of the worm underneath is soft.
Yang Song took out another short knife and slowly cut open the belly of the worm. The movements are extremely skillful, and the worm crystals are quickly dug up.
It's just that Li Mo was a little surprised, but he gave the worm crystal to himself: "We don't use this thing, give it to you." ”
If you can't extract the insect crystal evolution liquid, for Yang Song and the others who stayed in the city, the insect crystal is indeed a useless thing.
But Li Mo didn't take advantage of them, shook his head and said: "I think you guys still have a good save, if one day, you go to the gathering place, the insect crystal is a lot of wealth." ”
When Wang Pingping on the side heard this, she immediately became interested, and said, "Is the insect crystal very valuable in the gathering place?" ”
Not enough, didn't wait for Li Mo to answer, Li Yun who hadn't spoken much. But he opened his mouth: "Pingping, you forgot that we listened to that broadcast." It is said that this insect crystal can extract what subspecies evolution liquid. It's certainly worth a lot of money at the gathering place. ”
But when Wang Pingping heard this, she showed a bitter face. Sigh: "How could I not remember. At that time, I told you that you should put away this insect crystal. But he just didn't listen, and threw them all away. ”
In the end, she looked at her husband with resentment, and her delicate face was full of regret.
But Yang Song listened to her complaints, but he didn't even look back, and said in a sullen voice: "Let's go to the gathering place again, what are you doing with those broken things!" ”
It seems that this product is a thought. It's going to take root in this city.
However, Li Mo didn't think it was so unusual about this, after all, it was normal for different people to choose different ways of living. It's like the old man he met in Xingcheng at the beginning, who didn't want to leave his homeland.
So he stuffed the two insect crystals that Yang Song had simply stuffed into his pocket. Rather than being thrown away by that guy, it's better to keep it for yourself.
But next, Yang Song's actions surprised Li Mo.
Because after digging up the worm crystals, this thing did not deal with the shells of the hard beetles.
Instead, he walked over to a cabinet against the wall and took out a bundle of black ones. It's kind of like a leather thing.
Li Mo was puzzled when he saw it, and couldn't help asking, "Old Yang, what is this thing?" ”
Yang Song glanced at him and said bluntly: "This is also the shell of the beetle." But I was dealt with, so that's what it is. ”
"You say it's a beetle's shell?" Li Mo's eyes widened when he heard this. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would have thought it was an animal skin.
But I looked at it carefully. But something suddenly came to mind.
That's right, it's a worm shell. is also as Yang Song said. It's been processed in some way.
And Yang Song explained to him by himself: "Since the appearance of insects, I have hunted this beetle for the first time. I was thinking about how to use the insect shell. Later, I discovered that the liquid secreted by a mutated plant can actually soften the shell of insects. And after softening, not only does the hard shell have strong toughness, but even the defense is improved.
So I've been making soft shells out of this softened wormshell, but I've never found anything to cut through. In the past, I also had the heart to hunt that sickle flying insect, but I was unlucky, and I never succeeded. So it's my luck to meet Li Mo today. ”
Speaking of his discoveries, Yang Song said a lot, and he was in a very good mood.
And Li Mo had to sigh again, the survivability of people in the last days is really very strong.
The man in front of him, who was left behind in the city of many crises, not only guarded his paralyzed wife in a cruel environment. And by his own continuous exploration, he has discovered so many mutated plants that are of great use to humans.
The kind of mutant plant secretion that Yang Song said, Li Mo naturally knew. It was a softener used by some artisans in the last plane to treat insect shells.
It is this kind of thing that makes insect shells more practical, and is sought after by many evolutionaries and abilities.
In fact, even Li Mo himself had worn that kind of soft armor at the beginning.
It's just that although he is a regenerate, he is not omniscient. It is impossible to know everything and see everything.
And the kind of plant that can secrete softeners, he has only heard of it.
But at this time, this kind of thing appeared in front of him, and Li Mo certainly didn't want to miss it easily. I couldn't help but ask, "Old Yang, can you show me the kind of plant you said?" ”
"What's wrong with that." Yang Song was very happy, "Look at the ones on the balcony, from the left, the first two pots are." ”
Li Mo hurriedly looked over and finally saw the plant.
It's not big, it's two pots of aloe vera-like aqua blue plants, planted in two small palm-sized pots.
I heard Yang Song say again: "There are a lot of this thing in the city, and I know a place where it is almost everywhere, and it is also very easy to transplant." If you like it, I'll give you a pot when you leave. ”
Li Mo was slightly surprised by his generosity, but of course he would not refuse, and said with a smile: "Then thank you." ”
In fact, even if Yang Song didn't send him, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find it, anyway, as long as he knew what this plant looked like, it was just a little troublesome.
Then, Yang Song took the sickle insect leg and tried it on the softened insect shell, and couldn't help but admire: "This thing is really powerful, I will definitely get him a pair in the future." ”
And Li Yun also picked up Li Mo's other insect leg and ran to the side to help him.
However, it can be seen that Yang Song should have already made a final decision on how to make armor.
So instead of rushing to cut the shell, he spread out the softened shell and lay down on it to draw the shape to be cut.
Li Mo didn't know much about armor making, so he looked at it on the side and vaguely saw that Yang Song's drawing should be a breastplate.
And after Yang Song was busy for a while, he seemed to remember something. looked up at Li Mo, and suddenly said, "Li Mo, are you in a hurry to leave today?" I'm afraid I won't be able to play this job for a day. If you're not in a hurry, can you stay with me for one night? I'll stay up late to catch up on work, and I'm willing to help you make a set of armor as a thank you. ”
Li Mo was thrilled by this proposal, in fact, even if Yang Song didn't say it, he wanted to open his mouth. I couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, then I'm taking a big advantage." ”
Yang Song said: "Without your worm legs, no matter how many worm shells I have, it is useless, we are mutually beneficial." So, tonight you'll be in this building, or any of those other buildings, and you'll find a room to spend the night, and it's all empty anyway. But if you want to live, you must clean it up and let Sister Yun follow you, she is quick with her hands and feet. ”
"I'll just live downstairs." Li Mo replied happily.
However, he also heard that Yang Song had the meaning of provoking people, and it was estimated that when this thing was working, he didn't want to disturb him on the side.
Come to think of it, people are busy there, and they really don't look good on the side.
Anyway, he had seen mutated plants, but he was not interested in how Yang Song made armor, so he said: "Old Yang, then you are busy first, and I will go down." If anything, call me again. ”
"Okay, you go down there and rest." Yang Song responded and continued to get busy.
Li Mo didn't say anything more, took his backpack and walked out.
But seeing Li Yun coming out, he smiled at her: "I'll just clean up myself, don't bother you." ”
Li Yun saw him refusing to resign, and he didn't say much. However, he still sent Li Mo to the fifth floor, and when he saw him enter the house, he turned around and left.
The house downstairs of Yang Song is a large three-bedroom apartment of more than 100 square meters, and the door has already been pried open.
The entrance is the living room, Li Mo looked around, because no one lived for a long time, there was already a layer of dust on the ground and dilapidated furniture.
However, because Yang Song lives in this building, the surrounding plants have been cleaned up by him, so there are no mutated plants growing in this building.
For Li Mo, of course, it is much better than sleeping outside. (To be continued......)
