Chapter 29: I'm Poor!
Qu Jianlei's supplies were replenished, and it took three days to find a relatively safe area to camp.
It was by a small river, on a small dirt slope.
There is a soothing platform on the dirt slope and a bulge on the periphery that blocks the view from the outside world.
Such a terrain would never dare to choose when the stream was down.
But when there is a certain amount of self-protection ability, this kind of terrain is quite rare.
He stayed here for fifteen days until his body shook slightly, and then he said to himself, "Think of it as the second layer of qi refining." β
After another ten days, he was sure that the injections were completely ineffective against him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past 25 days, he has consumed less than half of the total amount of food, but there is not much water.
There was a small river next to it, but he didn't dare to use the water, and in that river, he didn't even see any living creatures.
That's why he stayed by the creek in the first placeβin the wasteland, the river in the wilderness can basically be seen as a trench.
But these days have really not been in vain, not only has he "refined qi to the second layer", but his physical fitness has also improved greatly.
Before, he should have been about 1.65 meters, thin and small, but now at least ...... One meter seventy-five, right?
The body that has been malnourished for a long time has also grown some muscles, which not only have more strength, but also react faster.
It's just that it's still skinny...... Nutrition really can't be replenished in a day.
In the past 20 days, there have been a few people who have come from afar, and it is difficult to say what the specific purpose is.
Qu Jianlei will not make contact with the other party, usually just a shot past, hitting the open space in front of the opponent, "Get out!" β
His marksmanship is accurate, which is scary, and he has an empty shot, proving that there is no shortage of ammunition.
Qu Jianlei thinks that he is more particular about doing this - at least he didn't beat the stick, right?
But this kind of day should also come to an end, staying too long is easy to attract Big Macs.
The key is that he has consumed a lot of materials, although he can still last for a while, but he always has to "don't wait for a while".
He has had enough of being in the wild, and now that he has a little family background, it is only right to find some ways to make money.
It's hard to start a business with your bare hands, isn't it?
He planned to get a good night's sleep, get up early the next morning to clean up, and then go to find a suitable place to develop.
As a result, he slept until midnight, and a slight noise woke him up, and an alarm device was touched.
Because of the conditions, his alarm device was set up in several layers, and it was also divided into several layers to react.
The current alarm is the lowest kind - small, slow, and long.
Therefore, the warning voice is also small, just let him hear it.
If the threat is great, a shrill alarm bell is a mustβnot only to wake him up, but also to deter the other party.
He picked up the night vision binoculars and took a look, and found that it was a small human body, five hundred meters away from him.
Gnomes? Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, and then ...... Keep sleeping.
There is no shortage of strange people in the wasteland, and the probability of a dwarf is actually much higher than that of Blue Star.
As long as the other party does not reach the advanced level of the alarm, it can be ignored.
I want to sleep though...... It's not easy to fall asleep, there are unknown risk factors, who can sleep so soundly?
Not to mention that Qu Jianlei himself has a very bad sense of security - in the middle of the night in the wilderness, what are you trying to do?
Fortunately, the figure moved a few more steps, and then curled up there and didn't move much.
But even so, Qu Jianlei didn't sleep well in the second half of the night, and he was almost always in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake.
When it was dawn, he woke up and packed up all sorts of things.
He had lived on the hillside for nearly a month, and it was not a matter of time to clean it up.
It wasn't until noon that he had almost packed up, some consumables...... I didn't bother to clean it up anymore.
Three months ago, he couldn't have let go of those consumables.
But now, the conditions are different, especially with a guy of unknown origin.
But this thing dared to lie down in the wild and sleep, and he didn't bother to care what kind of strange thing it was.
But as he walked around, he still found that the ...... Maybe not a dwarf.
Dwarfs or mutants, he has a lot of contact with them, and he has quite a lot of cognition, and the bald head in front of him is too thin.
Adult dwarfs and real children, that's really different, experienced people can see it at a glance.
But so what? It has nothing to do with him.
But just as he was about to leave, he couldn't hold back, walked up and kicked the kid.
"Are you alive? Say it when you're dead...... I'm burying you. β
There is a mandatory requirement in the wasteland that if a survivor dies, he must be buried in the ground.
One is to prevent the Fallen or Mutant Beasts from eating the corpses, and the other is to ...... Other concerns are said to be present.
With one kick, the small body flipped over, revealing a pale and puffy face, but the stomach was shriveled.
"Purple lichen poisoning," Qu Jianlei saw the fame at a glance - he had been poisoned himself.
It's just that this child is poisoned deeply, and if he recovers naturally...... I guess I starved to death before I recovered.
Qu Jianlei shook his head speechlessly and turned to leave.
However, just as he was about to push the motorcycle, it stopped again.
After thinking about it, he shook his head helplessly and sighed again, "Alas...... Count me out of luck. β
Coming to the child again, he crouched on the ground, broke the other's mouth, and roughly squeezed a nutrient into it.
After doing this, he said to himself, "It's not that I forgot the lessons of the past, but the main thing is ...... You can't be buried alive, can you? β
The nutrients were in the abdomen, and it was only a matter of two or three minutes, and the child's eyes slowly opened.
The toxicity of purple lichen is not great, at most it is diarrhea and facial edema, which can be recovered by the body's own rehabilitation mechanism.
But in the process of recovery, you must take in nutrients - at least you have to be able to carry it yourself.
The child was not so much poisoned as hungry, and the poisoning did exist, but there was nothing to excrete for a long time.
So it's normal for him to wake up so quickly.
Seeing that he was awake, Qu Jianlei took a plastic bowl and poured out some water...... There were as many as five or six.
Then he added another pinch of minced salt and said coldly, "Drink water." β
This is also a means to speed up physical recovery, he doesn't want to take out a nutrient, and the other party still can't bear it and hang up.
The child's eyes gradually became focused, and he screamed a few times, but he didn't know what it meant.
"Dumb?" Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care, there are mutants, what is a disability?
He only thought that the other party did not understand the intention of drinking water, so he explained, "Rehydration." β
As for whether the other party can understand, that's not what he cares about.
Who would have thought that the child closed his mouth and swallowed a few times before opening his mouth again, "I, I...... I'm not dumb. β
His voice was hoarse, but he could hear it clearly if he listened closely.
"Oh," Qu Jianlei nodded, still not paying attention, "It's not a dumb person, it's a stammer." β
The child swallowed a few more times before he spoke again, "I...... I'm not stammering either. β
"Hurry up and drink water," Qu Jianlei didn't bother to pay attention to him.
The child waited, sat up slowly, picked up the plastic bowl, and drank the water in small sips.
In this process, Qu Jianlei just looked at the other party curiously and did not speak.
Seeing that the other party finished drinking water, he raised his hand to take the plastic bowl, turned around and left.
When he came, he pushed both the cart and the motorcycle onto the dirt slope, and now to leave, he had to push the cart down first, and then push the motorcycle.
As a result, when he pushed the motorcycle downhill, the boy had recovered a little and cowered after him.
Are you addicted to eating free meals? Qu Jian Lei said without looking back, "Hairless monster, don't follow me." β
Not only did the child have no hair, but he also had no eyebrows or eyelashes, so he casually nicknamed him.
When the little guy who cowered heard this, he was immediately stunned, "The one just now...... Not life money? β
The voice is still a little hoarse, but it is much better than before.
"What am I buying your life for?" Qu Jianlei replied disapprenosingly, "With your small physique, you can only eat and drink." β
There is no shortage of people in the wasteland who work for others, but it is useless to buy such a weak little guy.
The hairless monster's eyes rolled, "I'm useful, sir." β
Qu Jianlei ignored him, pushed the motorcycle downhill, and began to fix and tie the board car.
The child was silent, but stood aside and watched.
After Qu Jianlei was fixed, he stepped on the motorcycle without looking back, and then lit the fire.
There are a lot of things on the board car, although he has fixed it, but it is not advisable to start too fast.
Seeing that the motorcycle began to accelerate, the hairless monster became anxious and shouted, "Sir, I am really useful." β
"I can't afford that, poor!" Qu Jianlei continued to accelerate, the story of the farmer and the snake, he didn't want to go through it a second time.
Seeing this, the child was really anxious, "I can pay for it!" β
Had had a near-death experience, and he really didn't want to go through it a second time.
At first, he thought that the other party had ulterior motives, and even doubted that he would become a living donor for organ trading.
But at that time, he had no ability to resist, and could only tell himself: this is much better than starving to death.
But the other party did it step by step, and it seemed to be ...... Saving people purely for the sake of saving them.
This really subverted his perception, despite his young age, but he knew a lot about the wasteland.
Be a saint in the wasteland...... This kind of behavior is really a little too offbeat.
The key is to see that the other party's small car is covered with a large car, and there is obviously no shortage of resources.
This kind of person can definitely be trusted...... At least the other party doesn't bother to hurt people.
"Remuneration?" Qu Jianlei smiled disappreciably and increased the throttle.
The most untrustworthy thing about the wasteland is the promise of strangers...... People who can really afford to pay, as for almost starving to death?
Seeing this, the hairless monster was in a hurry, so he chased after him, shouting while chasing, "I'm very familiar with this place." β
"Are you better than me?" Qu Jianlei snorted coldly and no longer paid attention to the other party.
Don't say what experience you have, just say how much news can you know at your age?
