Chapter 302: Lotus Picking in the Cold Lake

The area around the cold lake is open enough. It's no longer the path it used to be, it's a big patch of wilderness. In the wilderness, there is hardly any vegetation to be seen. The temperature around is hot. However, as people get closer to the lake, the temperature drops sharply. When you come to the shore of the cold lake, the person in the shirt will tremble all over, and after a while, his lips will be blue from the cold. A soldier did not know the severity of the ear, but felt that his ear was itchy, and when he reached out and touched it, the ear fell into his hand. Frightened, he held his ears in his hands and screamed repeatedly.

"Rubbish," Long Teng scolded.

The other soldier was in a hurry to urinate, and unbuttoned his pants three meters from the cold lake, and as soon as he urinated, the water froze, forming an ice edge on his trousers, and his small fellow, strung with the ice edge, was impossible to take the baby back.

But if you don't take it back, will you watch your closest brother run away?

The soldier burst into tears.

"Don't cry. Tears are also going to freeze," another soldier had been to Hanhu before, and he had more experience, so he quickly persuaded him, "Rub it with your hands, rub it slowly, and when it is hot, you can take it back." ”

The soldier who was frozen in the little brother hurriedly did so. He kept caressing the ice ridge with both hands, and from time to time he breathed hot air with his mouth, brushing it, and the people watching wanted to laugh but panicked.

"Squad Seven, put on your leather suits, get ready, and get your boat out of the water," Hong Weiwang commanded. Before they came, they had already trained the soldiers, and everyone knew exactly what they would encounter in the area around the Cold Lake.

Those two guys just now were too careless.

The members of the seventh team were still a mile away from the cold lake, and there was a speedboat on the ground beside them.

The members of the team immediately began to take their clothes from their storage bags, and dressed themselves tightly, even on their heads, they also wore animal skin hats, and their faces were also covered with wind-proof leather masks.

"Hurry up," Hong Weiwang urged.

"Yes," the leader of the seventh squad responded, put on leather boots, and commanded his men to carry the speedboat again, and a group of ten people came to the shore of the cold lake.

Cheng Lao, Deng Ge, Hong Weiwang, Long Teng, and Tian Zisheng looked at them intently.

"After the speedboat is launched, let them pick the lotus leaf in front of the lake as fast as possible," Cheng Lao said, stretching out his hand and pointing ahead.

Following the direction of Cheng Lao's finger, the three regiment leaders all noticed the location of the lotus flower. There are more than ten square lotus leaves, green branches, huge leaves, and a few drops of water in the middle of the swaying, with the breeze blowing, the water droplets are like pearls, rolling in the middle of the leaves, shining with crystal light.

Among the lotus leaves, there are eight lotus flowers, which have already bloomed. There are two more, which are ready to be released.

Tian Zisheng conveyed the instructions of the elder to the members of the seventh squad with a communicator.

The seven squads moved smoothly, placing the speedboat on their shoulders in the water, five soldiers hurriedly boarding, and the squad leader and four others armed with crossbow arrows, guarding them against the sudden emergence of a creature and threatening their lives.

A soldier set the speedboat on fire and drove it in the direction of the lotus.

"Eight lotus flowers, two lotus flowers, and so many lotus leaves, it's made, it's really made," Cheng Lao kept rubbing his hands, and the original breezy appearance had long disappeared without a trace, and his eyes were full of greed.

"Cheng Lao, what's the use of these things?" Deng Ge asked, not knowing why.

"The surveillance showed that there was a dying dragonfly before, which was chased by birds, fell into the lotus stamen, and healed its injuries instantly, not only that, but the dragonfly also fought with the oriole bird in turn, and finally bit the oriole bird to death," Cheng Lao explained with a smile in a good mood.

"What? A dragonfly bites a yellow oriole? Dungo was taken aback. This, this is simply a fantasy, impossible to happen.

"So lotus lotus leaves are all treasures. Head Deng, and a few of you, you don't have to have too much to gain in Hanhu, as long as you take these, after you go back, just wait for the president's reward," Cheng Lao said, looking at Long Tenghong for Wang Tian Zisheng and the others.

"Great," Long Teng secretly clenched his fists. I already knew that I would go directly to Nanshan to explore the secrets, so why bother to come forward and attack "It's not enough to send six squads, send out all the remaining spare boats, and be sure to pick lotus leaves," Cheng Lao was anxious.

"Yes," Tian Zisheng, Hong Weiwang and others also commanded.

Not only did the Oracle Bone Regiment bring two speedboats over, but they also brought two speedboats with them.

Long Teng's trip came out as the personal guard of the elderly. He watched from the sidelines, his heart slightly chilling.

The regret that I had just felt in my heart has long since flown away.

Coming to Nanshan to explore the secrets is just as dangerous and not a good errand.

Five speedboats were transported to the water's edge. Deng Ge learned well this time, arranged spirits in advance, let all the people on board drink a few sips, and made sure that there must be four patrol officers on each boat, and if anything went wrong, they would immediately shoot.

Five speedboats were launched again.

The ten people on each speedboat were all in their throats, for fear of following in the footsteps of the speedboat in front of them.

"Don't be afraid, there are still so many people behind us who are on guard for you, so be bold and go for the lotus leaves and lotus," Deng Ge cheered them on.

Five speedboats rushed away in the direction of lotus leaves. Since danger is everywhere, then get the lotus leaf and lotus as quickly as possible, and the task will be completed.

The people on the five speedboats were all thinking the same thing.

As the speedboat raced through the water, the waves broke by the speedboat towered high. At this moment, black shadows flashed in the air.

"Oh no, there's a big bird swooping down on you. Shoot quickly, shoot quickly," Deng Ge, Tian Zisheng, and Hong Weiwang roared over the communicator almost at the same time.

The number of birds in the air is too large, and the number is really large, and hundreds of birds are like kites rushing down from the sky, breaking their axes, and becoming more and more rapid.

The soldiers on the five speedboats fired their guns immediately.

The birds were shot repeatedly, but unfortunately their fur was obviously extraordinary, and the bullets did not cause them fatal injuries.

A bird swoops into a boat, grabs a man and flies into the air.

That person was also a fourth-level samurai, and he had no power to resist under the claws of the birds.

After he was carried into the air, he was still struggling desperately, slamming his fist into Asuka's stomach.

Asuka's body was impenetrable to bullets, and Asuka didn't care about the punch, screaming, and rushed into the air, and as soon as his claws were released, the man fell into the icy cold lake.

There was a plop, and there was no movement.

Other birds did the same. In a short time, the people on the five speedboats were all arrested, and none of them were spared.

The birds seemed to have made up their minds, and they all rushed into the air, then let go of their claws.

One by one, the soldiers fell into the water like a slam, causing a wave of spray, and then there was no more.

"Damn, damn it," Dungo stared, but there was nothing he could do. The head of the bird flying in the sky is like a wasp, and the body is like an eagle, and the degree of strength far exceeds the thickness of the so-called skin and flesh, which is simply invulnerable.

In the blink of an eye, a total of seven squads plus patrol boats had been wiped out.

"Cheng Lao, what should I do next?" Deng Ge asked the old man in the silk shirt for instructions.

"Leave a hundred guards, and the rest, all sent out, and search around the cold lake. If you encounter strange flowers and plants that the team members don't know, let the team leader check the list of flowers and plants, verify them one by one, collect all the useful ones, and don't leave them to other forces," Cheng Lao ordered.

Since the lotus is so difficult there, I simply let it go first.

The company has suffered a loss here, and there are other forces behind it. They can't be uninterested in the lotus flowers in the lake. Just let some wind out.

Dungo immediately complied, and a team was sent out. A team of nearly 3,000 people, divided into more than 200 teams, searched around the cold lake, trying to find something useful.

Lu Guigui and Song Jing also rushed to Hantan with the men of the White Tiger Hall.

"In front of us, there are good things that have been taken away by them a long time ago," Lu Guigui sighed.

"You can't say that. There's a cold lake, it's weird. As long as we keep our hearts, we are greedy when we should be greedy, and we will stop when we should stop, we will definitely gain," Song Jing disagreed.

Be greedy when you should be greedy, and stop when you should stop? What do you mean?

"Don't worry, we're together, can I still hurt you?" Song Jing put one hand on Lu Guigui's shoulder and said affectionately.

"Hey, that old man in a silk shirt, is it Cheng Yongsheng?" Lu Guigui saw Cheng Lao who was surrounded by the guards at a glance, and asked Song Jing.

"No," Song Jing shook his head, "Cheng Yongsheng would not be able to risk his life so easily." Even if he comes, he will hide somewhere safe. ”

The people of the White Tiger Hall soon met the company's team. With careful listening, they naturally captured the preciousness of the lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the cold lake.

After a while, Lu Guigui and Song Jing received a report from their subordinates.

"Lotus leaves have the effect of bringing the dead back to life?" Lu Guigui's eyes straightened, "Can you still increase your combat power?" "Good stuff, really good stuff.

Song Jing glanced at Lu Guigui with a smile, waved his hand, and let the soldiers who came to report disperse.

"What do you mean?" Lu Guigui was unhappy. The lotus leaf lotus has such a miraculous effect, and Song Jing is completely unmoved, which makes Lu Guigui a little unhappy.

Although Lu Guigui also thinks that picking is not so simple, everything has to be tried.

"Be greedy when you should be greedy, and stop when you should stop. Now is not the time to be greedy, but to stop, pass on my order, all the personnel are scattered in small teams, looking for strange flowers and plants around the cold lake, along with those high-value beasts, must also be hunted and killed. When encountering unrecognizable grasses and flowers, the team leader checked them against the general outline of flowers and plants issued by the headquarters," Song Jing quickly issued an order.

I have to say that Song Jing's instructions are almost exactly the same as Deng Ge's.

Lu Guigui held the telescope and looked at the cold lake. His gaze stayed on the lotus leaf and lotus for a long time.

"I still can't forget that lotus leaf," Song Jing smiled a little more at the corner of his mouth, "The company arrived before us, just a lotus leaf, ten lotus flowers that bloomed and didn't bloom, if it was so easy to take away, they would have taken it long ago." At this time, we can't be greedy. ”

Song Jing's words sounded in Lu Guigui's ears like thunder.

Lu Guigui's face was solemn, and he bowed down to express his gratitude to Song Jing, "I have been taught." Song Jing, no wonder before I came, Boss Qian asked me to listen to you for everything. At first I wasn't convinced, but now I'm convinced. ”

Song Jing waved his hand, "Our own brothers, what are you doing with those words that are outside." I have explored the mysteries of Nanshan many times, and I have had the experience of escaping death several times, so speaking of which, the instinct for survival is stronger. When we encounter problems later, we just need to discuss them together. ”

Song Jing's words were heartfelt. Lu Guigui was not moved.

Seeing this scene, a strange light flashed in Song Jing's eyes.

The two major forces searched around the area around the Cold Lake. In the area of the cold lake, there are very few flowers and plants within 100 meters of the lake. If you think about it, you can understand that there are few flowers and plants that can withstand the cold. At this time, it was the height of summer, and a hundred meters away, the temperature was very hot, and the sun was like a hot charcoal hanging over their heads, roasting the soldiers bitterly.

Not to mention those flowers and plants. It's cold on one side, and it's scorching hot on the other. The flowers and plants that survive are too strange in themselves. Whether it is a company or Baihutang, those team leaders hold a list of flowers and plants, look for the pictures, and almost effortlessly find those surviving flowers and plants, which are the most famous existence in the list.

After finding the pattern, the company's team and the White Tiger Hall team inevitably had a dispute. Several squads even punched and kicked each other and fought. However, there have been no cases of direct use of firearms.

Not long after, Deng Ge's side and Song Jing's side both received reports from their subordinates, and they all said that the other party was too deceitful.

"Listen, there are other forces coming later, don't make trouble, restrain yourself with all your might, and be polite," Deng Ge issued an order under the instruction of Cheng Lao.

Song Jing hadn't spoken yet, Lu Guigui spoke in the communicator first, "Everyone else is blowing their beards and staring at their heads, and you don't have anything to be polite about, just call me back directly." Remember, don't hurt people's lives. ”

Song Jing opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Song Jing, if you have anything to say, just say it," Lu Guigui smiled and groaned.

Song Jing immediately understood. Lu Guigui is still a little unconvinced by himself.

"I don't have any words. Everything will be done according to Leader Lu's wishes," Song Jing grinned.

The company and the White Tiger Hall kept looking for exotic flowers and plants along the lake. The White Tiger Hall also hunted some small beasts, mostly roe deer and the like, as well as more than a dozen weasels.

At night, the two sides gathered their teams and set up camp a mile away from the cold lake, and set up tents one by one. Inside the tent, it is lit with headlamps. There are also many people sitting and chatting in the wilderness, while alerting to possible dangers.

For more than ten consecutive days, the team of the company and Baihutang searched around the lake, working at sunrise and leaving at sunset. By the time Ling Fengtang's team arrived at the hive, the strange flowers and plants around the cold lake had been swept away, and even the grass roots had been pulled out and taken away by those soldiers.

The only drawback was that they walked along the cold lake and couldn't find a way to the other side.

And when they came out of this trip, whether it was the company or the White Tiger Hall, they all wanted to cross the cold lake and continue to search for precious things on the opposite side.

"Find, keep looking, I don't believe it, except that the lake is a ditch, it's really not good, chisel the stones by the cold lake, let the lake water go, are you still worried?" Hong Weiwang of the company proposed to Deng Ge.

Dungo touched his chin, "It's a good idea." ”

"If you want to dig rocks by the lake, it's not impossible. However, let's wait for two days before we say, "Cheng Lao did not oppose this plan.
