The Scavengers

April 11

With Xiao Mo's endless repairs, Xueli Hongmo can grind to death the corpse-eating dragon worm king worm, not to mention that Xiao Mo also knew the key point of the king worm through his repair ability-the location of the energy nest.

Xue Lihong didn't care how the king worm attacked him, just grabbed at its wound, and inserted several tentacles into the king worm's body.

Wang Chong panicked, and finally realized that he had encountered a stubble. It wanted to run away, to shake off Xue Lihong, but how could Xue Lihong let it run away?

No matter how much the king worm struggled, Xue Lihong kept clinging to it.

Cheng Zai was driving the base car, and originally wanted to shoot out the wire mesh to retrieve Xue Lihong, but he was temporarily instructed not to do anything.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Chong jumped out of the water with the large parasite on his body, and fell back into the river heavily.

Unfortunately, this scene was seen by some people on the bank who were preparing to cross the river, and a photo was taken.It's just that it happened too fast, and the photos that can be taken are not very clear.

Half an hour later, the body of the king worm began to shrink, and it was unable to spray out the worms, and it was also unable to make any attacks.

An hour later, the king worm's body turned into a piece of skin.

Xue Lihong regained her human form, hugged Xiao Mo with one arm, and swam towards the base vehicle while dragging the insect skin with the other.

When Cheng Zai saw that the battle was over, he immediately greeted him.

Xiao Mo's portable oxygen mask has been discarded after use, and all his oxygen at this time is supplied by Xuelihong.

A tentacle protruded from Xue Lihong's chest, and it plunged into his mouth without allowing him to refuse.

At first Xiao Mo was taken aback and felt a little nauseous, but later he found that the tentacle was delivering him oxygen, so he accepted it silently—in a state of hypoxia, as long as he can breathe, who cares if the things in his mouth look good or not? ?

After entering the base vehicle, Xue Lihong retracted the tentacles.

Cheng Zai blushed when he saw Xue Lihong was stunned.

Xue Lihong raised her eyebrows, "Why are you blocking the door?"

Cheng Zai said "Ah", and jumped back two steps like a big rabbit, "Brother Xue, haha, Brother Xue, do you want clothes?"

The clothes were completely destroyed due to fights and deformations, and Xue Lihong, who is currently naked, said, "Kids, go and play."

Xiao Mo grinned.His Xiaohong's aura is simply invincible, even if she is completely naked, she is like a king patrolling.

Because of the low visibility in the river, and Cheng Zai didn't dare to follow too closely, he didn't see Xue Lihong's transformation passing by, but only vaguely saw some extremely blurry images on the screen, and he didn't know if there was something wrong with the camera Because of this, as long as Xue Lihong's lens looks extremely blurry, only a human figure can be seen.

But in Cheng Zai's eyes, Xue Lihong, who was able to grind the king worm to death, and even peeled off the skin of others, was already powerful enough to break through the sky. face, the words came to the lips and became: "Brother Xue, you are so cool, so handsome, so amazing!"

Xue Lihong didn't understand what was wrong with this child, did she see that his worm body was stimulated?But it doesn't look like this.

Xue Lihong casually threw the insect skin to Cheng Zai's feet, and simply hugged Xiao Mo, who was exhausted, "Can you make clothes? If you don't know how to learn, you think about making this insect skin into a close-fitting inner armor with Yuan Yuan and the others. One piece for each person.”

Cheng Zai was dumbfounded, "Huh?"

At this time, Cheng Zai didn't know how precious this worm skin was, he was just worried that he couldn't tailor it.

Xiao Mo weakly raised his hand, "I know a little bit. But what kind of scissors can I use to cut this insect skin?"

Xue Lihong also had a bit of a headache, the worm's skin was not easy to tear even with his claws, he attacked the weak point, and later directly destroyed its energy nest from the inside, absorbing all its essence to kill the king worm.

The system said reservedly: "As long as you can complete task No. 04 within the specified time limit, it is the first time you have completed three consecutive victories. Special rewards can be given for three consecutive victories, and the option of universal tailoring machine can appear in the rewards. This universal tailoring machine It is currently one of the most popular portable tools for interstellar mercenaries. It can cut and sew a variety of materials anytime, anywhere, and can complete various garments such as underwear, shoes, socks, helmets, armor, scarves, and masks according to procedures. The owner designs the shape himself."

Xiao Mo doubted his ears, when did the system become so considerate?However, he didn't dare to force himself to think this way. He first expressed his deep gratitude to His Majesty the System, and then asked: "This universal tailoring machine can even cut and sew this king worm skin?"

"Of course, otherwise, how can it be called universal? And what I provide is the sixth-generation universal sewing machine, which can handle all materials below grade nine. If the hardness of raw materials is divided according to the earth, it can handle all materials with hardness below ninety, like diamonds. It can be worn as a string of beads."

"This thing must be expensive, right?" Xiao Mo subconsciously thought so.

Your Majesty the system, "Yes, ordinary interstellar mercenaries can't afford it. You are very lucky, there happens to be such a finished product in the breeder system I absorbed this time. If this universal tailoring machine was originally in my warehouse, Then you need to be above level seven and have special contributions to get it. But now it belongs to our extra income, and I can put it as a special reward into the reward item option of special tasks, such as three consecutive victories."

Three in a row?Xiao Mo felt like he was participating in a competitive competition, but when there were competitors and enemies, and he would be able to level up after defeating, he was indeed competitive, but the nature was more dangerous, and failure to complete was not retirement but death.

After that, Cheng Zai drove back to the shore to find other team members.

Xue Lihong carried Xiao Mo back to the room, took a shower and changed clothes.

Xiao Mo lay in the bathtub and relayed everything the system told him to Xue Lihong.

After hearing this, Xue Lihong who was washing her hair said to him with foam on her hair: "Your majesty also hinted at a little bit."

"What is it?" Xiao Mo slowly absorbed the energy crystal to restore his physical strength.

"The manipulator behind it is encouraging the recyclers and breeders to fight each other to seize each other's system. If it was just a confrontation at the beginning, now there is also the possibility of dropping treasures. Ask your majesty, is the system of the same nature also Can kill and absorb each other?"

His Majesty the System was silent for a while, and only replied with one word: "Yes."

Xiao Mo rubbed his forehead, "So from now on, I have to guard not only the breeders, but also the recyclers?"

"I always think it's more than that." Xue Lihong felt that there was a layer of tulle in front of her eyes, as if she could see the true face of Lushan Mountain behind just by lifting it up, "Don't you think the rewards that the system can provide are too good? Although there are no spaceships and the like Tools that can leave the earth, but like large space storage, and this universal tailoring machine... You said before that the system can provide a night eye detector, right? These things are soldiers, adventurers and mercenaries Favorite item. Just now the system mentioned the word interstellar mercenary?"

The system has a little regret, this big bastard is too annoying, a little bit of information can analyze a lot!In fact, these things should not be taken out now. If you follow the normal upgrade process, reaching level five will only open up fifteen cubic meters of spiritual space.The space storage device it gave that has [-] cubic meters and can be used as a prison is actually very dangerous, and it doesn't even dare to pass this piece of information back.

Well, since it devoured the second breeder system, the information it sent back has been redacted and deleted multiple times.Although the content inside is not fake at all, but... the content seen from different angles is definitely different.

Wait, it shouldn't feel regretful, the system feels uncomfortable again, and immediately starts self-checking again.

After listening to Xue Lihong's analysis, Xiao Mo deduced: "I am a businessman. If I want to invest 100, I will be happy if I can earn 200. But if I want to invest 100 million, then what I want to get is definitely not 200." In the same way, the greater the investment, the more we hope to get. Or is our live broadcast more valuable? Those manipulators behind the scenes hope that our performance will be more exciting, and we will not die so fast and so easily? Like a big-budget movie will invest a lot of money in the pre-production and post-production?"

Xue Lihong rinsed her hair, stepped into the bathtub, and sat opposite Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo folded his legs in embarrassment, covering important parts.

Xue Lihong grabbed his feet and pulled him towards her.

Xiao Mo quickly grabbed the sides of the bathtub with both hands, "Hello!"

Xue Lihong actively moved her body, forcing him to the edge of the bathtub.

Since Xiao Mo decided to live for Xue Lihong, he no longer rejects the act of sleeping with her, but isn't the current posture a bit too shameful?

Xiao Mo wanted to put his legs together, but there was a big man sitting between his legs. He wanted to get his legs together and the result would be to pinch the opponent's waist...

Xue Lihong stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hug him and sit on her lap.

Xiao Mo was shocked, this pose was too challenging for him, he quickly put his hand against his chest, "Huh? You..."

Xiao Mo raised his head in surprise, because he was too familiar, usually he would rarely look at this person carefully.

But today, the touch of his hands was not right, Xiaohong's skin seemed to support a little bit of muscle.After careful scrutiny, he discovered that the young man's face and body were no longer as thin as a tuberculosis ghost.

It seems that the king worm is very good to Xiaohong?No wonder Cheng Zai reacted like that just now.Without him, Xiao Hong, who had a little muscle filling on his face, finally showed all the advantages of his appearance.

Contrary to Xue Lihong's usual ability to hide himself, his appearance is so handsome that he is full of aggression, the kind where you feel that your eyes and heart are immediately conquered at the first glance.

"What's the matter?" Xue Lihong's hand touched his arm, rubbing it ambiguously repeatedly.

Xiao Mo only felt that the skin was electrified, and his toes were shrinking due to the electric shock, "No, it's nothing, I just think you look better."

"Really." The young man's voice became low and seductive.

Xiao Mo stared at the young man's face and swallowed.This is also an evolution, right?Just like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, an ugly duckling turns into a swan.If Xue Lihong's body is a bug, is the human form his second metamorphosis, or a mimicry?Either way, this guy is too good at arming himself with appearance.

"It's not armed. Most of the male's gorgeous appearance is to attract a mate. Dear boss, are you satisfied with what you see?" Xue Lihong showed a little mischievous smile.

Xiao Mo's heart beat wildly like a drum, and his face was scalded with fire.

Xue Lihong's hand touched his face, she possessed her body, and whispered: "Want to see another me?"

Xiao Mo didn't know if he nodded, he just felt that he was stupid.

Xue Lihong stepped back a little bit, closed his eyes slightly, and his expression seemed to be a little bit painful. He bent down slightly, and eight tentacles with a texture like black gold suddenly burst out from behind his body.

"It hurts a bit, boss, touch me." Xue Lihong said hoarsely, she took his hand and put it on her back, as if she was being coquettish.

Xiao Mo felt like being charmed, and stupidly reached out to touch the tentacles on his back.

Xue Lihong opened his eyes, the color of his pupils was a little abnormal, it seemed to be double pupils, the innermost pupils were dark and deep.

"This is an incomplete change. My genes have not been completely stabilized, but I can change a part of my body freely. This is my weapon, and there will be more in the future. Boss, are you afraid of me?"

Xue Lihong opened her mouth, the structure inside was creepy, the mouthpart that had covered Xiao Mo's mouth before shot out again, this time it rubbed against Xiao Mo's little bean, and then retracted reluctantly.

Xue Lihong shut up, and opened it again to return to "normal", "I don't like this preparation, but I think it can do other things besides sneak attacking the enemy..."

The young man's voice lowered, but Xiao Mo's face became more and more red, and his whole body was like a boiled crab.

"Boss, I'm ugly and scary. Do you want to break up with me? Come on, speak out boldly, and tell me your truest thoughts."

No, you are not ugly at all, you can charm any human being you want, your appearance is your best weapon.

"If I want to break up with you..." Xiao Mo suddenly thought of joking a little bit, mainly because the young man pushed him too hard, he urgently needed some breathing space.

Xue Lihong's face immediately changed, "Oh, you want to break up with me, you are such a bad boss, how can you have such thoughts? It seems that I haven't educated you enough, let's go to class again , This class is called How to Retain Good Employees One Hundred Stances."

Xiao Mo sprayed without coquettishness, and couldn't help laughing anymore, "Xiao Hong, please forgive me! Don't use your dead face to say such things, it's too inappropriate. Wow! What are you doing? "

"Help you take a bath." The youth fan said earnestly: "Boss, the river water is very dirty. It's not enough to wash the surface, you have to clean the inside of your body too. And that big bug sprayed out so many small bugs, if there is one What should I do if the two get into your body? Let me check it carefully for you, don't move around, be good."

Be good!Even if I decide to be with you, no matter what you are.But it doesn't mean that I can accept these "flirting" beyond what normal people can accept!

Your Majesty, halfway through self-inspection: You chose a big bug bastard as your partner, and you still want to flirt like a normal person?They are not human anymore, how can they be normal?Simply naive!

Afterwards, Cheng Zai went ashore to pick up Wang Cheng and Qian Yunkai, and went back to pick up Er Xiao and Lao Wu and his wife.

When Lei Bing asked about the details, Cheng Zai always refused to know.Asked where Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong were, Cheng Zai only said that the captain and deputy team were tired and resting.

So Lei Bing held back his doubts, and didn't see Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong until he was about to return to Zhongshan Base.

At that time, Xiao Mo's whole body was soft, not to mention his legs.This is really not something that can be repaired by self-repair, physical strength is definitely the biggest problem.

Xue Lihong only said that she had solved a monster, and didn't say anything else.Seeing that Lei Bing couldn't ask any questions, he had no choice but to go back to deal with business.

On the other side, the man in the hood who had been tasked with hunting the corpse-eating dragon worm king took something like an electronic map to the largest pier near the estuary of the river, which was also a deep-water port pier.

A huge five-story cruise ship was docked at the pier. This was a deep-sea cruise ship, and it was probably docked here to replenish supplies.

But at this time, the cruise ship was deserted, there was no one there, and there was no one coming and going on the pier. The whole pier and the cruise ship were like a dead zone.

The man in the hood walked around the cruise ship and came down, looking at the electronic map on the platform on the first floor and frowning, "I bought this monster distribution map for [-] star coins, but the corpse-eating dragon worm king worm here Woolen cloth?"

"Guck."

"Run away? Possibly. Do you think it will go ashore or into the water?"

"Guck."

"You detected it, is it in the water? Go upstream? Well, we will follow this river to search upstream." The hooded man put away the electronic map, looked up at the sky, and murmured: "The last storm It's coming, I hope I can hunt the corpse-eating dragon worm king worm before the storm comes, and then find the No. 07 recycler through the king worm."

"Guji Guji."

"Well, I know, I will leave the playground before the big storm. Come back then, this earth playground will not be what it is now."

The earthlings who don't know anything, including the members of the scavenging team, see that the base is close at hand, and everyone is a little relaxed.

Wang Cheng and Qian Yunkai learned how to use the operation panel to fight monsters with the two primary schools in the living room.

The two of them started to faint shortly after getting in the car. They fainted from the living room to the dormitory area and back again.

Both of them celebrated with both hands and feet for the consequences of daring to board the pirate ship. They had already thought that the base car would be amazing, but is it so magical?This is turning sci-fi into reality!

The dormitories of Wang Cheng and Qian Yunkai are separate. Wang Cheng does not have high requirements for the dormitory, as long as he can sleep.On the other hand, Qian Yunkai walked around excitedly, and asked if he could open up another space for him to use as a laboratory.After asking the whole team to vote, Xue Lihong agreed.

"The weather is not right." Xiao Mo muttered.

Xue Lihong looked at the thermometer, and now the outdoor temperature has reached 38 degrees, which is the beginning of November!

"The temperature difference between day and night is too large, and the temperature at night is as low as zero. This winter will not be easy." Xue Lihong repeated.

Wang Cheng also came over and said that the base is currently looking for someone to get cotton and coal and other winter supplies.

The vehicle suddenly took a big bend, and everyone in the car was used to it. The base car automatically drove smoothly, and the speed was not fast. It could react in time to any road conditions.

Because of the sequelae left by the earthquake, most of the road surface was damaged, and it was unable to repair it later, so the road back to the base was not easy.This bad walking does not just refer to the road surface problem.

But after all, this place is not far from the base, and you can still see dense crops on both sides of the road. The danger is not as good as the real suburbs, and it is not as good as the completely destroyed city. As long as you are careful and avoid a few time slots, you can still go back and forth safely.

The noon time period is the least dangerous, so although it is extremely hot, you can still see some farmers working in the fields, and pedestrians and vehicles can also be seen on the road.

Not everyone is willing to live in the base, especially those with fields at home.Probably due to the influence of China's idea of ​​"having a field in your hand, don't panic in your heart" from ancient times to the present, people who have lived on the land for a lifetime will not give up their fields unless they have to, even if they are in danger.

These people farming here are also protected by the base to a certain extent. Although the army cannot be stationed around, it will also give them a certain sense of security when they are often sent out to patrol. At the same time, the base also promises that they will not forcibly acquire their fields and houses. etc., allowing them to be self-sufficient as long as they pay a certain grain tax.

For villages that are willing to pay food taxes, the base will provide various protections so that they have an organization to rely on for anything.

As for the villages that are unwilling to pay the grain tax, the base allows them to exchange grain, vegetables, oil, etc. with the base for necessities of life, but if something happens to them, they need to use their own grain to hire mercenaries to solve the problem.

Xiao Mo saw that the guard formed by the nearby farmers was patrolling the nearby fields with hoes, sickles and other weapons.

This guard is not only defending against beasts, bugs, but also people!

There are fleeing people on the road, some still drive, and more people are walking on foot. The temperature is so high that many people are about to suffer from heat stroke, but only this time period is the safest.

There are canals for irrigation beside the crop fields, and there is water in the canals, but no one dares to drink the water in the canals, even if they are so thirsty that their lips are all peeled.

Some people wanted to ask for clean water from farmers or guards, but the guards used knives and hoes to force them to back away.

It was not yet the harvest season, and around the time of the harvest, not only the village guards would come out to guard the farmland, but even the base would send troops to protect it.

"Hey, captain, deputy team, we're almost at the base, there are more and more people ahead." Cheng Zai reminded.

Pedestrians looked eagerly at the passing vehicles along the road, and many people stopped in the middle of the road, wanting to stop a car or two so that they could take themselves a ride.

No car dared to stop, especially in the presence of so many pedestrians.

In the past, there were well-meaning people who parked their cars to take people away, but as more and more incidents of car snatching, murder, and food and water snatching happened, people's hearts became harder and harder.

There was another person blocking the road ahead, this time it was an old man kneeling in the middle of the road with a child in his arms.He bent over and knocked his head on the ground.

All team members who have experienced the incident of the survivors blocking the car at the steelworks base are a little tired of this scene.

Xue Lihong honked the horn twice.

The old man raised his head, but refused to budge.

Xiao Mo straightened his back and looked complicated.

Xue Lihong slammed on the accelerator to accelerate, and the car rushed towards the old man like flying.

The old man's face changed drastically. He might still want to persist, to see if the other party really dared to hit him, but his body reacted before the danger came. The car was still some distance away from him, so he hugged him in fright. Roll the child aside.

Xue Lihong turned the steering wheel and passed by the old man lying on the ground.He can lift the car and walk, but this time he is approaching the base, and there are many people on the road. If he does this, it will be too conspicuous.And scaring it like this can also make other people who have the same plan dare not block their way again.

The old man's face was pale with fright, and he waited for the vehicle to go far away before reacting and yelling at the vehicle going away.

I don't know if the child in his arms was also frightened in front of him, and he didn't cry until now, but the cry was small and he didn't have much strength.

A plastic bag fell from the sky and fell into the arms of the old man.

The old man's scolding stopped abruptly.He hurriedly looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he quickly opened the plastic bag, when he saw a bandage inside, a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao spray, a plate of cold medicine, two big white steamed buns and a bottle of spring water , the old man's eye sockets turned red.

"I'm sorry, thank you!" No one wants to do this kind of ugly thing that blocks the way, and they are all forced, and the grandson will not be able to survive if he has nothing to eat!

The old man didn't care about himself, so he hid in the grass taller than a person, and first fed mineral water and steamed buns to the little grandson in his arms, and then he ate some when he was full.

"Tap." Xiao Mo heard the sound of Chang'e landing on the roof of the car, and asked her through the communicator: "Are you tired? Do you want to get in the car to rest?"

Chang'e refused: "No, I can keep up with you. Hey, don't let me do such a good thing again, annoying!"

Xiao Mo smiled lowly, "Thank you for your hard work, you will be entering the base soon, have you thought about what to do?"

"Let's take a look first." Chang'e expressed that she was not in a hurry.Her abilities allow her to protect herself enough to live outside, and she doesn't necessarily have to live in the base.Besides, she doesn't want to be close to people now.

"Don't make your son worry." Xiao Mo simply comforted him. He never dared to force Chang E, a strong woman.Cheng Zai asked her if she wanted to join the scavengers, but Ms. Chang'e didn't mean that at all. She said that she didn't like being controlled by others, and this kind of free life is more suitable for her now.

Chang'e replied "Got it" and flew away again.

On the same day, many refugees who were on their way around the Zhongshan base but were short of water and medicine received gifts that fell from the sky.

Most of these refugees did not dare to say anything when they received the gifts. After thanking them in a low voice, they hurriedly ate or hid them. This kind of good deed also gave these refugees a little more confidence in Zhongshan Base.
