Chapter 303: Going Together
Bai Ze stood up and checked his physical condition.
The minor internal injuries sustained by the huge reaction force suffered when he fell from a height and performed gravity manipulation were basically healed after half an hour, while the wounds on his hands healed in less than twenty minutes.
After making sure that his physical condition was able to deal with any unexpected situation, Bai Ze jumped down from the corpse of the giant beast and searched for the soul stone nearby.
After being smashed by Bai Ze's heavy fist, the big monster's head had already exploded into a bloody blur, and the fragments of flesh and bone were splashed all over the ground. At that moment, the beast had lost the natural mana protection around its body, because it was exhausted after constantly attacking with its magic skills, so although it had defense, it could not resist the power of that punch.
It was a bit difficult to find the soul stone in such a huge flesh corpse, after all, it was too small in comparison. The beast's head alone is about the same size as an ordinary house, and you can imagine the tragic situation after the head completely explodes.
It's a pity that this time it wasn't so lucky, because the Purgatory Scale Lizard didn't produce soul stones in it. However, instead of returning empty-handed, he got a red orb.
Although Bai Ze was not interested in ordinary treasures, he decided to keep them and check the contents of the orb later. If nothing else, the treasure inside is destined to be given to some meritorious evolutionary.
After Bai Ze activated the gravity manipulation again, he lifted the corpse of the giant beast. But even so, it was not an easy task to lift the huge body of the Purgatory Scale Lizard, as it was at least ten times heavier than the Blue Scale Snake.
When Bai Ze arrived at the west gate of the base, he was greeted by a large group of armed men, as well as several freight vehicles and more than two dozen sturdy survivors, some of whom were also proficient in machinery.
Whether it was the gunman or the survivors, they all gasped at the sight of the huge body of the giant beast in front of them. Subconsciously looked at Bai Ze and couldn't help but compare the size of the two.
How could such a big monster be lifted by one person?! Everyone has the same doubts. The weight of that monster is definitely more than five times that of a chariot!
Of course, if it weren't for Bai Ze relieving the gravity of the monster, he would definitely not be able to lift it. Although Bai Ze's strength is ridiculously high, it has not yet reached that level.
"Leader......" A middle-aged man walked up to Bai Ze with a respectful expression and a look of reverence flashing in his eyes.
After a few words of greeting, the middle-aged man said with some concern: "I'm afraid that the crane can't withstand the weight of this beast...... Besides, even if the truck has been modified, I'm afraid it won't be able to support it......"
The wheels of the vehicle were changed to extremely hard mutant bones, which were strong enough to withstand the weight of a monster of the level of the Blue Scale Snake, but the magnitude of the Purgatory Scale Lizard was completely different.
Hearing this, Bai Ze frowned slightly. He hadn't thought about it before, he always thought that modifying the truck would be enough.
But it doesn't take into account the heavy objects that even a crane can't lift. While some parts have been replaced with mutant bones, which enhances the grip and weight of the machine, the lifting part also needs some strengthening.
Because the entire camp had to be moved to the starting point village base as soon as possible, many things had to be put aside for a while and focus on the most important things at the moment.
Time is in a hurry, and many things cannot be perfected, which may leave sequelae in the long run.
Just when Bai Ze returned from the forest for the last time, a figure appeared in the crowd.
Although the body is thin, the curves are charming and enchanting.
Shangguan Bingxue was dressed in dark blue armor and had a beautiful light blue sword hanging from her waist, and her unique indifferent expression seemed to remind everyone to stay away from her.
Although she only walks, her speed is a few meters at a time, and to ordinary survivors and militants, it looks like she is teleporting over a short distance.
Shangguan Bingxue's distinctive long silver hair was casually draped behind him most of the time. At this moment she wore a high ponytail, revealing her slender neck, like a beautiful swan, shining in the moonlight and spotlights.
The survivors and the heavily armed warriors were stunned as they watched her pass by as if she were a goddess from another world, and after a few seconds, everyone finally came to their senses and bowed respectfully.
Everyone knows that this beautiful goddess who is as cold as frost is the second-in-command under the supreme leader. It can be said that one person is below and above ten thousand.
Just when a hint of lust flashed in the eyes of all the men, the only one who did not react obviously was Bai Ze.
How could he react like any other human? After all, Linglong beside him is not only more beautiful, but also exudes seductive charm all over his body.
Within a few seconds, Shangguan Bingxue appeared in front of Bai Ze in the blink of an eye.
She looked Bai Ze up and down, as if she was studying something, Bai Ze asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here......?" I thought you were resting. ”
Before leaving the Dark Forest, Bai Ze witnessed everyone, including Shangguan Bingxue, go back to their rooms to sleep. It's already two o'clock in the morning, and it's been a few hours since he's left the base, so everyone should have gone to sleep.
Shangguan Bingxue looked at him with two beautiful blue eyes, and replied calmly, "I just can't sleep, so I decided to go to the forest to level up...... I didn't expect you to be in the forest. ”
"Is that so...?" Bai Ze frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what the reason was.
Moreover, Shangguan Bingxue did miss a lot of opportunities to improve his level because of the busy work of the base.
Of course, although Shangguan Bingxue is stagnant at about level forty, this does not mean that his strength has also stagnated. Putting aside the equipment that Bai Ze created for her, Shangguan Bingxue himself absorbed a lot of soul power from the powerful evolutionary in the process of suppressing Kang Rong's forces, accumulating at least 50 attribute points.
Shangguan Bingxue nodded, didn't say anything more, just looked him in the eyes.
After a while, Bai Ze said calmly: "However, you came at the right time. ”
"Oh?" She raised an eyebrow and looked at Bai Ze, as if to suggest that he continue.
Bai Ze pointed to the corpse of the Purgatory Scale Lizard and explained, "As you can see, I have been hunting in the forest for a while, and this is the second first-order fierce beast I have hunted at night. The first is a giant snake, which has been transferred to the base, but this giant beast is too big and heavy for a crane to lift it, let alone transport it. ”
Shangguan Bingxue put his index finger on his lower lip, and while gently tapping it with his delicately trimmed nails, he said to himself: "Even if the vehicle can withstand the weight of the monster, I'm afraid that the horsepower of the engine is not enough." ”
In fact, even if the vehicle is modified, the engine is exactly the same. Although various engineers were recruited in Shirasawa's team, retrofitting the existing engine was no easy task, and without a clear plan or idea, it was simply impossible to complete the work in the short term.
As a result, the power of the existing engine is barely enough to propel the modified vehicle; But it's hard to move the weight any further up.
"Indeed." Bai Ze nodded, and then continued calmly: "So, I think since you also want to level up, then let's go hunting in the forest together, so that you can use your skills to freeze the corpses and prevent them from being eaten by wild beasts, and then, when we finish hunting, we will bring them back to the base one by one...... What do you think? ”
"Sounds good." Shangguan Bingxue immediately nodded, which made Bai Ze a little surprised. Perhaps realizing something, she calmly explained, "I can't think of a better way." If you have to carry them one by one, you will waste a lot of hunting time. ”
“…… Then it was decided. He smiled and nodded, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, and commanded in a deep voice: "Xie Hui, you start to dispose of the corpse, and I will go hunting in the forest with her...... If you need manpower, go to Lu Xiaoxiao, and she will arrange it. ”
"Got it." Captain Xie Hui nodded.
Lu Xiaoxiao is the person in charge of logistics appointed by Shangguan Bingxue, so no matter when and where, even if she sleeps comfortably in bed, she has to get up and work when she needs to. Just like any high-paying job, there is a lot of responsibility on your shoulders.
Bai Ze and Shangguan Bingxue gave a few more orders to a few people, and the two looked at each other for a moment, as if they had agreed, and rushed directly into the depths of the dark forest. In just a second or two, they completely disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a cold wind blowing across the ground.
……
"Why do you want them to start working now?" Shangguan Bingxue asked as she followed closely behind Bai Ze.
Bai Ze shuttled through the forest like a fish in water, and replied casually, "I will probably stay here until dawn, because I still need to conduct more experiments with the gravity manipulation skills I gained after killing Shan Li." There are still about 5 hours before sunrise, and these 5 hours should be put to good use. ”
A large group of people worked on the corpse of the purgatory-scaled lizard for five hours, and at least some of the scales could be removed. Even if you can only get rid of a tenth of the scales, that's better than nothing.
Survivors who have experienced hunger are afraid that they will go hungry again tomorrow, so they are willing to give it their all whenever a job opportunity arises, even if it stays up all night.
In addition, the reward for helping to dispose of the corpse every day is not only a piece of mutant beast meat, but also enough to eat, and basically no one is willing to refuse such a reward.
For the survivors of Beiying, the appearance of Bai Ze and his party was simply a living bodhisattva who rescued them from the sea of suffering.
Shangguan Bingxue listened to Bai Ze's explanation, and naturally understood everything, she just nodded expressionlessly and followed closely behind him.
What Shangguan Bingxue didn't know was that there was also a beautiful woman following closely behind Bai Ze.
Bai Ze deftly shuttled and jumped between the trees, and couldn't help but look back twice, looking at the two big beauties who were closely following him, and secretly surprised in his heart, because Linglong and Shangguan Bingxue were simply beautiful.
Linglong wore a dark black dress, which covered her whole body, but perfectly outlined her figure.
On the other hand, Shangguan Bingxue wears a white dress most of the time, although it is loose, it still can't hide its perfect figure.
Delicate hair was as black as night, and it seemed that all the light would be swallowed up.
And Shangguan Bingxue's hair was as cold silver as the moonlight at night, shining like a snow lotus.
Linglong's eyes were red, like a raging fire, as if there were flames burning under her eyes, and from time to time you could see the light of mockery.
On the other hand, Shangguan Bingxue's eyes were blue, as if the ice at the poles exuded coldness and sharpness, enough to keep all living beings away from him.
Linglong's personality is gentle, mischievous, and even a little mischievous; And Shangguan Bingxue's personality is cold and serious, like a saint who is ignorant of the world.
This was the first time Bai Ze had had the opportunity to observe these two women closely. Although he had observed it before, this was the first time he had really taken a moment to appreciate these two beauties.
Both women are stunningly beautiful, but the charm and beauty they exude are completely opposite, like two sides of the same coin.
Bai Ze looked at Shangguan Bingxue and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Do you have a sister?" ”
"Huh?" Shangguan Bingxue was stunned for a moment by this sudden question, and subconsciously replied: "I am an only child." ”
Even she didn't react to herself, so she blurted out and answered the question.
When Bai Ze asked this question, he already regretted it. Although the two get along relatively well, and it can even be said that the trust between them has increased a lot, they are not close enough to inquire about private matters.
However, he didn't expect to get an answer.
Bai Ze turned his head in surprise and saw Shangguan Bingxue's eyes, which were also equally surprised.
Obviously, even she herself did not expect to answer this question.
But in fact, Shangguan Bingxue's heart trembled violently. If someone asks about her private affairs, she will definitely treat her with indifference. However, she had answered truthfully just now.
