"Just applying medicine?"
Anxi spread the fingers that were blocking her eyes and looked over carefully.
Xu Ming did hold a small round box filled with white ointment in his hand, and the hand that fell on Fang Qianyao's shoulder also had some ointment on his fingertips.
But just apply the medicine lightly with your fingertips, so why put your palms on it?
An Qian was a little confused, but she didn't take it to heart. She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Fang Qianyao, "Oh, I misunderstood. I'm sorry."
"Ha...it's okay."
Fang Qianyao yawned, her eyelids were half-folded, and she looked extremely sleepy: "It's normal for you to misunderstand. Xu Ming and I have been good friends since childhood. Others may seem a little close, but to us, this is Contact is nothing."
After saying that, Fang Qianyao simply leaned against the wall, not even bothering to lift her arms. She only relied on Xu Ming's hand to lift her up, letting him carefully apply the medicine on her.
"You...are not boyfriend and girlfriend?" An Qian listened to Fang Qianyao's words and grasped the key point.
Fang Qianyao shook her head: "Of course not. After all, people you have seen since childhood cannot ignite the slightest spark of love."
"That's true. If we have played together since childhood, they are like brother and sister." An Qian thought that Fang Qianyao's words made some sense.
Xu Ming froze when he heard An Qian's words and glanced at An Qian disapprovingly.
Anxi didn't quite understand the meaning in this look.
Wu understood clearly, but he didn't like others looking at An Qian with such impolite eyes, so he glanced at Xu Ming mercilessly.
Xu Ming tilted his head, indicating that he did not want to argue.
"Tick-tick-tick-tick..."
The rain outside the house is getting heavier and heavier, and the surrounding air is hot and humid.
Chu Qingyan sent a message telling An Qian that he and his neighbors in the mining area hid in the stone quarry on the ground.
The walls of the stone mine cave are thick and difficult to be corroded by acid rain. They are much stronger than the stone houses.
But there are no beds, food and water in the stone mine cave, which is equivalent to a disguised version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
An Qian made several large pieces of animal skins and distributed them to Chu Qingyan, letting them hang them at the entrance of the cave to keep out the rain. She also sent enough food and water.
"boom--"
There was a muffled thunder, and the rain suddenly became more intense.
Heavy raindrops pounded on the roof, and Anxi added nearly ten layers of animal skins. She rarely went out to hunt exotic animals recently, so there wasn't much in stock.
She lifted the animal skin hanging on the window a little and looked out the window. The weeds and trees on the ground had long been corroded and festered.
A gray-haired hare probably didn't know what was happening outside, so it ran out of the pit in the ground in search of food.
But the rain fell overwhelmingly on it, instantly melting it into a puddle of flesh without even a struggle.
This acid rain is really too strong.
Not only does it destroy all vegetation resources, it also restricts players from traveling. As long as they stay in the rain for more than one second, they will be eroded by the rain until nothing is left.
"Hey... luckily I am stingy and have saved resources."
An Qian looked at the grass roots that had turned into charcoal. She clicked on her backpack interface and looked over the resources stored in it. She was extremely satisfied.
"We've finished wiping, do you need it?"
Fang Qianyao's voice came from behind.
An Qian turned around and saw Fang Qianyao shaking the ointment: "Although it's just an ordinary anti-inflammatory ointment, applying it is better than not applying it at all."
"Okay, thank you."
An Qian stepped forward and took the ointment, then handed it to Wu with her backhand: "You can apply it first."
As an aristocratic ghost in Ore City, Wu has been pampered since he was a child. His skin is fair and can be broken by a bomb, and the red and swollen scars caused by the rain on his body are particularly conspicuous.
Moreover, he had protected Anxi from a lot of rain. The red and swollen area had expanded, and the skin had been corroded in some places, exposing some flesh.
"Baby..." Wu saw An Qian handing him the ointment, but showed a troubled expression.
He frowned slightly and looked at An Qian: "The injuries are all on the back and shoulders. I can't rub them."
"Indeed." An Qian nodded. Wu hugged her from behind, and most of the rain fell behind him.
When Wu heard An Qian agreeing with his words, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes. Feeling that he had succeeded, he lowered his voice and said, "Then, honey, come and help..."
"Xu Ming, can you stop by and help him wipe it?"
An Qian suddenly turned to look at Xu Ming, who was sitting with Fang Qianyao, and asked him.
Xu Ming was suddenly touched and his body froze.
He silently glanced at Wu, who was glaring at him and indicating with his eyes that he was not allowed to agree to Anxi's request.
Xu Ming understood the hint in Wu's eyes and turned to look at An Qian. He refused: "Ahem, I'm a little tired."
This excuse cannot be said to be bad, but it is somewhat far-fetched.
But An Qian didn't care too much. If one didn't work, there would be another.
She turned towards Fang Qianyao and asked, "Fang Qianyao, can you help me?"
"Hey..." Fang Qianyao sighed, and then responded lazily: "Okay."
With that said, Fang Qianyao stood up and prepared to walk in Wu's direction.
Xu Ming was startled, grabbed Fang Qianyao with quick eyes and hands, and blurted out: "Don't move!"
"Huh?" Fang Qianyao turned back in confusion.
"..."
Xu Ming didn't answer immediately. His eyes switched back and forth between Wu and Fang Qianyao. Finally, he sighed and said, "I'm suddenly not tired anymore... I'll do it."
"That's great." Fang Qianyao sat back.
Xu Ming stood up from his seat, took the ointment from An Qian's hand, and silently applied the ointment for him under Wu's glare.
"Thank you for your hard work." An Qian thanked Xu Ming.
She turned around and clicked on Shen Yunjia's private chat interface. The unusual weather was coming, and she had a lot to do, and she really didn't have time to help Wu apply some medicine.
[Not An Haoxin: How are you doing there? 】
[Yunduopiaopiao: It's not bad. The wooden house was severely corroded. I folded many layers of animal skins to barely hold it together. 】
[Unfaithful: Let’s see when the rain becomes lighter, then choose to surrender to us. 】
[Clouds fluttering: OK OK]
The rain is coming now.
When teleporting, the game will automatically drop the neighbors into the open space, and they will definitely be exposed to a lot of rain, which is really dangerous.
Especially after choosing to teleport, the equipment and resources from the opposite side will go into Anxi's backpack, and it is not feasible to use animal skins to block the rain.
Now, all we can do is wait for the rain to subside, then endure the pain and rush into the nearest house.
"I hope nothing will happen again..."
Anxi looked at the cloudy sky and sighed deeply.
