Chapter 42 Communication

"Let's go, let's go see Lao Fan's luck," Brother Niu quickly followed Fan Xuewu.

"Let's just not go over. Today's Zhuang is the third child of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, who is a ruthless master. It's okay to win, but if you lose, you have to be angry with the bystanders," Brother Liu shrunk his neck towards the table.

Brother Bai also said: "Yes." Brother Fan is good at everything, just good betting. The few gold coins earned in a year were lost on the dice. With this money, marrying a girl and having a baby is also a happy family. ”

"Why don't you say that eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and smoking are the five major evils in life," Brother Huang also sighed.

Shu Xingbei sat aside and listened silently. When he first arrived, he was neither familiar with the situation nor the behavior of others, so everything was mainly a silent observer.

A green ant crawled onto the table.

Shu Xingbei curiously squeezed the ant in his hand.

"Don't, this ant is poisonous," Brother Liu saw it and was taken aback.

Before Shu Xingbei put the ant down, the ant bit Shu Xingbei's index finger.

Shu Xingbei was in pain, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the ant fell to the ground. Looking at the fingers again, they have become red and swollen.

"It's too careless," Brother Liu poured a drop of wine from the flask and wiped it on Shu Xingbei's fingers, "Sterilize." Sea ants are still in the larval stage and are not very virulent. If you are an adult, not to mention your finger, even your right hand will have to be cut off. ”

Shuxingbei's face turned white.

"yes, yes, how can there be sea ants here?" Brother Bai is a little strange.

"The larvae crawl in, what's so strange. When ordinary people see it, don't they all brush it off with their sleeves? It's just that Brother Shu is inexperienced and has suffered a small loss," Brother Zheng said on the side.

Shu Xingbei only felt an indescribable heat spread along the index finger of his right hand to the palm, but fortunately, this heat disappeared after a while.

The reason he picked up sea ants was because he remembered the kind of books that talk about animal language. The sea ants just crawled around without making any sound, how did they communicate and communicate?

It was at this time that there was suddenly more sensation in his mind. From these feelings, Shu Xingbei could even know that in addition to the sea ant just now, there were hundreds of sea ants scurrying around in the house.

It seems that with just one thought, Shu Xingbei can contact them.

A few people at the table were chatting, but Brother Liu looked at Shu Xingbei's expression uncertainly, and couldn't help asking, "Look at your fingers, are you better?" ”

"No problem, thank you Brother Liu," Shu Xingbei raised his finger and smiled at Brother Liu.

"That's it for tonight. If you want to win, come back tomorrow night, Lao Tzu will continue to be the banker," there was a roar from the other side of the table. It is the third child of the Dragon and Tiger Gang that Brother Liu said.

The people at the table dispersed with swearing. Fan Xuewu also came back dejectedly, and Brother Niu patted him on the shoulder, "I just lost two gold coins." I won ten coins in the front, so you can accept it when you see it, but you don't. ”

"Let's go," Fan Xuewu's face was gloomy, he picked up the wine jug on the table and shook it, and found that there was not a drop of wine in it, so he put the wine jug on the table in anger.

The group of Jishi organizations walked out one after another.

Shu Xingbei, who returned to his residence, was not in a hurry to rest, he continued to feel the presence of sea ants. There are more than a dozen of them at a meter, two meters, five meters, and five meters away. Eight meters, ten meters, fifteen meters, twenty meters, a total of more than 300 sea ants. They're running around, looking for food.

As the sensation became clearer, Shu Xingbei tried to contact a sea ant five meters away.

"What's the matter?" The sea ant looked up and asked, a little dazed.

"It's fine. Do you have anything to eat? Shu Xingbei thought about it and passed on his thoughts.

"Looking for," the sea ant was a little impatient.

"I'll find something to eat, call you," Shu Xingbei tried to get close to it. In Changqing Island, if he can let sea ants become his helpers, he will undoubtedly have one more killer feature.

"Okay," the sea ant was really happy, "what do you call a brother?" ”

What do you call it? Shu Xingbei was stunned. Do sea ants have to have names too? Aren't all ants the same?

Pick a name? No way. That will reveal the filling.

"What about you? If you are older than me, I will call you brother," Shu Xingbei was anxious and took the method of rhetorical questioning.

"My name is Seventeen," the message from the sea ants was very clear.

Seventeen? Is it in the order of birth, or is there an order arranged by the leading ants?

Shu Xingbei thought about it and fabricated: "My name is Ninety-Nine. He wanted to report more than a hundred, and he was worried that it would be self-defeating.

"It's my little brother, hey, there's something to eat," replied the sea ant.

"Good. I promise to find something delicious as soon as possible," Shu Xingbei responded.

He retracted his thoughts and cut off contact with the sea ants, unable to contain the excitement in his heart.

Tossing and turning until the early hours of the morning, he fell asleep in a daze.

By the time Fan Xuewu woke him up, the sky had already brightened.

"Boss Cao called us over," Fan Xuewu lost money last night, and his face was not very good-looking.

After breakfast, Lao Cao called Wang Jian again. According to the task arrangement, Lao Cao asked, and Shu Xingbei and Fan Xuewu made records.

"Tell me what happened again," said Lao Cao to Wang Jian.

Wang Jian repeated last night's words, and Shu Xingbei was sure that what he said and last night were correct.

"Boss Cao, how do we go about solving this problem next?" Wang Jian didn't care when he saw Shu Xingbei and Fan Xuewu making records. Since Lao Cao came to investigate, he must have to make a record.

"I can't find Mo Lao Diao, where is the red lady?" Lao Cao asked.

"The red lady went to sea and was not on the island. According to the inquirement, I will be back today," replied Wang Jian.

"Good. Contact the matchmaker, we want to meet her," Lao Cao's eyes lit up.

Wang Jian went out, and Lao Cao looked at Shu Xingbei, "I went to the fourth to rest last night, how do you feel?" ”

Four, right? Shu Xingbei reacted immediately, and he must have said where he went last night.

"Opened my eyes and drank a little wine," he replied truthfully.

"Whether it's wine or gambling, it's okay to do it occasionally, and you can't delay the business," Lao Cao said, glancing at Fan Xuewu meaningfully.

Shu Xingbei nodded repeatedly. Two gold coins for two taels of wine, you can see that the wine is worth a lot of money at a glance. He didn't even have gold coins, and he didn't even have the qualifications to buy wine, let alone gamble.

"Compare the records you both made. We'll wait for Wang Jian to come back," Cao said.

Fan Xuewu and Shu Xingbei each took out the records they made, and after comparing them, the content and time recorded on them were exactly the same. In other words, what Wang Jian said, they did not make any mistakes or omissions.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Jian came back, with a guilty face, "The red lady has returned to the island, but she said that she wants to rest and recuperate, and she will not see guests for the time being." I reported the name of the Illuminati, but it didn't work. ”

"Don't rush yet. Wait a few more days to see, it's really not good, let's go to Midao," Lao Cao quickly made arrangements.

It's okay to have anything at hand, staying on Changqing Island is just looking around, Brother Liu at the transfer station is very good to Shu Xingbei, accompanying Shu Xingbei around, and introducing him from time to time.

"Is the island protected by some force? Or is it in which sphere of influence? Shu Xingbei asked.

Brother Liu heard Shu Xingbei's question, and smiled slightly, "Brother Shu's perception is very keen." You guessed right, Changqing Island is indeed protected by forces. Although they were strong, they did not bring the entire island into their sphere of influence. ”

"Why?"

"Changqing Island is located in the middle of many shipping lanes, and not only us, but other forces also have transit points here. Either one, don't even want to monopolize this place. If you're not careful, you'll be the target of public criticism. Not to mention that there are captains and sailors on the island who are proficient in sailing, and they have passed through dangerous seas many times, and all the powers regard these people as treasures. As for the protective forces that maintain order, it is, naturally, SPEA

Yes," Liu replied.

And sure enough, it was. Shu Xingbei had already expected it. It's strange to say that the tentacles of a behemoth like that don't extend here.

After lunch, Shu Xingbei collected some sea beast bones, and after returning to his residence, he tried to contact Seventeen again. Now he perceives sea ants at a range of no more than fifty meters. At a greater distance, he couldn't sense it.

Fortunately, Seventeen was only about ten meters away from his position, and Shu Xingbei put the bone on the side of the door and guided Seventeen to come over and eat it.

Seventeen quickly caught the aroma of the food, and while it feasted on it, it didn't forget to thank Shu Xingbei, "Ninety-nine, hey, you, you're mutated?" Turned into a humanoid? This, this can't be. ”

Shu Xingbei panicked, he also hoped that Seventeen and other sea ants could become his killer weapon, if Seventeen noticed the abnormality, he didn't know what would happen.

"I didn't take human form, I just clinged to him. He's a good friend of mine," Shu Xingbei passed the message, trying to resolve the situation in front of him as much as possible.

"That's pretty much it. That's right, the mutant grows wings at most, like Four," Seventeen finally stopped being surprised.

Sea ants grow wings? The north of the beam of stars is terrifying. According to Brother Liu, he was bitten by an adult sea ant, and he couldn't even save his palm. It would be nice if the winged sea ants were used for their own purposes.

"Can you contact the fourth brother?" Shu Xingbei asked.

"Want to stammer Four? Hmph, these brothers are all my subordinates, do you want to betray me? "Seventeen was upset.

Yes, it turns out that Seventeen is still a head. Forget it, Shu Xingbei dispelled the idea of contacting the No. 4 sea ant. If Seventeen is appeased, he has nothing to worry about here.

"I didn't mean that. I wanted to ask where it found the way to mutate," Shu Xingbei quickly replied.

"I don't know what blood it sucked, but it grew wings in a few days. Ninety-nine, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't have wings, we have many brothers. I'm looking for Brother Seventeen," Seventeen Man said nonchalantly.

"Then I'll thank Brother Seventeen first," Shu Xingbei was overjoyed. Busy and busy, this is the result he wants. Unexpectedly, it really happened.

In the afternoon, it rained heavily on the island, and it was no less than dripping ice outside. Shu Xingbei shrank in the room to practice boxing, whether it was Lao Cao Fan Xuewu or Brother Liu, no one came to look for him.

In the evening, the rain stopped, and a shout suddenly came from outside, "Wang Tou, Fan Xuewu is controlled by the people of the Dragon and Tiger Gang." ”
