After listening to Lin Yan's boast, Hua Hong found it even more unbelievable.
"Tell me, even if you can fight Kurotsuchi to a draw, why would you fight Kurotsuchi?"
For a moment, Lin Yan was so proud that his eyes rolled around.
"Auntie, I just want to compare with Kurotsuchi to test the effect of my practice. Only when you know the gap between yourself and Kurotsuchi can you work harder."
Huahong stared at Lin Yan, "You have never competed with others. This is your first time. What do you want to do?"
Jin Zai came in and felt that the atmosphere between mother and daughter was not right, "What's wrong with you?"
"Do you know why Lin Yan competed with Heitu?" Huahong asked Jinzai instead. The more Lin Yan tried to hide it, the more she felt that things were not simple.
Jin Zai said uncertainly: "I heard someone said that she took the initiative to compete with Kurotsuchi and the fight ended in a tie. Is it true?"
"It's true, but she never said why she did it."
Jin Zai hesitated for a moment before saying, "Some people say that Lin Yan wants to go out and needs Heitu's permission."
Huahong suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Yan, "You are going out again, where are you going?"
"Auntie, don't worry." Lin Yan has been refusing to explain, just because he is afraid that Hua Hong will do this, "I am competing with Heitu to make Heitu recognize me and agree to let me go out with him."
Before Huahong opened her mouth to ask, Lin Yan hurriedly said: "The specific destination has not yet been decided. I just want to go out with the expedition team to find more resources. The military department will send a team, and Lan Yue and Huang Ying will also go together."
"Kurotu doesn't agree with you going because it's dangerous, right? The place isn't confirmed yet, so what are you going to do?" Huahong suppressed the eagerness in her heart and wanted to find out where they were going first.
"Aniang, the expedition team is looking for resources, and most of the places they go to are inaccessible places. Black Tu and Alan have agreed to let me go, so you and Dad can rest assured, I will definitely protect myself and come back safely."
"When are you leaving?" Jin Zai asked eagerly. He knew that it would be difficult to change Lin Yan's decision once he had made it.
“As soon as January arrives, let’s go when the weather gets hot.”
Huahong and Jinzai couldn't stop Lin Yan. They counted the days as less than ten days, and they were busy preparing food and supplies for Lin Yan to take out.
Lin Yan had grown a little taller in the past two years, so Hua Hong went to the garment industry and bought her three sets of clothes, all long-sleeved and long trousers, as well as two pairs of cloth shoes and four pairs of straw sandals.
In the wild, clothes and shoes were very expensive, so Huahong took apart Lin Yan's old clothes, mended them, and made two outfits.
Lin Yan was also preparing for going out. He wanted to bring self-defense tools. He ordered two crossbows from Maomu and went to the customization workshop.
This is Lin Yan's first time to come to the customization workshop. He has always heard that the business is booming and there are many people coming here to customize utensils.
There are rows of wooden shelves in the shop, displaying a variety of utensils, including knives, machetes, nails, hammers, etc.
Several guests were carefully selecting, but Lin Yan didn't say anything and looked at them next to each other.
After the customer has seen the samples on display and what kind of utensils they want, they can go to the counter and put forward their requirements. The workshop will give suggestions and achieve cooperation based on the customer's needs and the difficulty of the process.
What the smelting plant produces is a large batch of finished products, which come out of one mold and meet people's daily needs. Customized workshops are different, they are designed to meet people's special needs.
Lin Yan picked a dagger-style knife, came to the counter and asked, "Can such a knife be made small?"
The person sitting behind the counter heard the sound and looked over, only to see the top of his head. He quickly stood up and found that it was Lin Yan. He was surprised and said, "Lin Yan, why is it you?"
"Shi Zhen, it's you, I'm here to buy something."
Lin Yan has met Shi Zhen a few times. She is Shi Zhi's eldest sister. She is almost thirty years old. She has met Shi Zhi before when she came to the laboratory to find her.
Shi Zhen was very happy that Lin Yan could come to the workshop. She wrote down Lin Yan's requirements one by one and said enthusiastically: "You go home and wait. I will discuss it with the technicians and come to you after I am sure it can be done. "
"Okay, as soon as possible, I'm in a hurry to use it."
Lin Yan wanted to make two daggers and several hooks. It was not difficult to make. She felt that the workshop should be completed soon.
When he came out of the workshop and saw the grocery store on the street, Lin Yan went in and took a look curiously.
The grocery store is filled with shelves stocked with all kinds of things.
Looking around one by one, there are balls of thread, cloth, hemp rope, baskets, various wild vegetables and mushrooms, bottles and cans, etc. All the types found in Sun City can be found here.
As he walked, he saw mineral salt in a clay pot. Lin Yan asked the price. It was 2 cents per pound, so you could buy a small amount. I learned from the clerk at the grocery store that more and more people are coming to buy mineral salt, and they only buy a little at a time. People who have bought it will buy again after a while.
This is a good sign, indicating that people are gradually accepting and recognizing mineral salt.
On January 4th, the ice on the river thawed. Yunqing, Huaxiang, Qinghua and others took two boats and went to the Qingyan tribe with wheat seeds and some food.
After seeing them off, the expedition team of 25 people including Lin Yan, Lan Yue also set off.
Before leaving, both Heitu and Alan came to say goodbye and repeatedly told team leader Lan Xing and everyone in Team Six to be optimistic about Lin Yan and the others.
There are always dangers in the wild, with all kinds of ferocious beasts lurking there. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger.
Blue Star made the guarantee under huge pressure, but in fact he was not that confident.
He is the captain and leader of this trip. In addition to shouldering everyone's safety, he also has to complete the mission.
It seems important, but Blue Star knows in his heart that these are just appearances.
Look at the people in the team, Lin Yan, Lan Yue, Huang Ying, and two people from the medical research laboratory, Yu Fei and Lan Jia, they are still underage. They are all top talents in Sun City, and no one can be lost.
All members of the Sixth Team are just trying their best to cooperate and complete the mission. Their first priority is to ensure the safety of everyone.
Considering the skills of Lan Yue and Lin Yan, Lan Xing felt ashamed. It was not yet certain who would protect whom by then.
There is also Huang Ying. She is Lin Yan and Lan Yue's companion. She grew up and trained together. Even if she is addicted to research, her own skills should not be bad.
As the captain, Blue Star only learned about the list two days before leaving. After considering various circumstances, and being called over by Kurotsuchi and Alan to talk alone, he understood the difficulty of this trip.
Last night, I discussed with Lin Yan and others and decided on the way forward.
Taking Sun City as the base point, heading northwest, the Mine Road also faced that direction, but instead of taking the Mine Road, they went more northward and chose a road full of thorns.
This is a pioneering journey, just like the mine trip, which requires them to overcome various difficulties and find a way.
After walking into the Pika Rabbit Field and confirming the direction, there was no wide and flat dirt road. A long-lost feeling came over him. Lin Yan took a deep breath and shouted, "Come on, everyone."
Huang Ying shouted, and the others also shouted after a beat.
