After checking the saplings, Chen Xing and Ye Yang Bailiu returned to the water station. But that night, something happened.
The planting site is several hundred meters away from the water station, separated by a small hill and invisible to each other. But due to a shortage of manpower, only Carrot and two workers took care of it. However, it is not far from the camp and Orchid Town, and the surrounding corpse dogs have been swept away, so there is no need to worry about any danger. At around ten o'clock in the evening, Carrot fell asleep. But not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by an explosion.
Through the dark green tent cloth, you can see that the outside is red and on fire.
"Red berries, my red berries!" Carrot reacted quickly and rushed out of the tent shouting. Unexpectedly, as soon as his head got out, a black shadow flew towards him, getting bigger and bigger in his pupils.
"Bang!" There was only a muffled sound, and there were stars in Carrot's eyes. He received a solid punch in his right eye, which directly hit a circle of panda eyes, and he fainted. When he woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Looking at the scorched saplings everywhere with white smoke rising, Carrot burst into tears.
"Ah ah ah, red berries, my red berries..." He cried, stumbled to the water station, and told Chen Xing the news of the night attack.
After a while, Chen Xing, Ye Yang, Bailiu, Aaron and others rushed to the scene. Looking at the scattered saplings that were burned to black charcoal, everyone was filled with indignation. After a simple search, they found some exploding incendiary grenade casings in the field. Combined with what Luo Luo had experienced last night, it was obvious that they were man-made and that they were people familiar with their situation.
The target is directed at the second team of Orchid Town.
Only they had a problem with Chen Xing, otherwise who would have nothing to do and use incendiary grenades with one gold coin to destroy his production. Although everyone clamored to destroy the second team's lair, Chen Xing quickly calmed down.
Escalating conflicts and deepening conflicts are not conducive to solving any problems. In his view, the use of force is the last option and the last option. Unless he can avoid future troubles forever, he will uproot Sun Yong at once and make him withdraw from the stage of Orchid Town.
Obviously, he couldn't do it, so he had to look for other solutions.
After a long period of thinking, Chen Xing gritted his teeth, made up his mind, went to the bank in Orchid Town alone, took out the "Western Ranger Major Sword", and went directly to the mayor's mansion to ask for an audience with the mayor.
Under the leadership of Xiao Wu, Chen Xing soon met Shade Sinclair in the study, who was writing and drawing on his desk.
"Lord Baron..." As soon as Xiao Wu started speaking, the mayor raised his head and glared at him with dark circles under his eyes: "Don't you see that I am writing a novel!"
The mayor seemed very angry. He banged the table and shouted, "How many times have I told you not to disturb me when I am writing? It will interrupt my train of thought!"
"Sorry, sorry..." Xiao Wu apologized repeatedly, but still could not calm the mayor's anger. At this moment, he was like an angry lion or monkey...
"The whole morning, such bright sunshine and such good inspiration are all gone!" The mayor stood on the chair and shouted, "Someone, drag him down and throw him into the sea to feed the fish!"
But the next second, the mayor's expression froze, and then as if a warm spring breeze blew, he gradually revealed a warm smile.
A shining silver sheathed sword appeared on his desk.
"Captain Chen Xing found this when he was searching the water station." Xiao Wu glanced in Chen Xing's direction and said.
"Oh..." The mayor nodded as if he had a sudden realization, picked up the sword and looked at it repeatedly, as if he couldn't put it down.
At this moment, Chen Xing felt that most of the blood in his body had been drained away, and his heart ached to the extreme. If it were auctioned in Dragonstone Town, it would be worth at least a thousand gold coins, or even more.
"Ahem, Lord Baron, there are still guests here..." Xiao Wu coughed a few times and reminded.
"Oh, it's Captain Chen Xing, welcome." The mayor immediately put down his guard sword and came towards him. He shook hands with Chen Xing enthusiastically, then asked Xiao Wu to pour two glasses of wine and put his hand on his Looking over his shoulder, he said earnestly, "Young man, I'm optimistic about you."
"Thank you, thank you mayor for your appreciation. I will definitely do my job well." Chen Xing said confidently.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, the mayor asked with concern: "Is the work at the water station still going well?"
"Smooth, very smooth." Chen Xing nodded and said, then changed the subject, "It was just a small misunderstanding with the captain of the second team..."
"Misunderstanding?" the mayor repeated in a low voice, and then asked, "What about the other team captains?"
"There is no misunderstanding, but..." Chen Xing hesitated and said, "I'm not very familiar with it yet."
"That's it..." The mayor pondered for a while and said to Xiao Wu, "Today at noon, you invite Captain Chen and Captain Sun to have a meal. If there is any misunderstanding, let's make it clear in person. We are all our own people, so don't make it unpleasant. "
"Yes." Xiao Wu nodded.
"Then in the afternoon, take our captain Chen to meet the other captains and get to know each other. From now on, we are all on our own, and we must care for and support each other." The mayor ordered again, and Xiao Wu naturally nodded in agreement.
During lunch, Yang Yong, who was invited to eat at Lanxiang Bar, looked at Chen Xing, who was smiling across the table, and his face turned as dark as if he had drank a whole bottle of ink.
"Captain Sun, the mayor has said that if you have any misunderstandings, please make it clear to your face. We are all brothers, and there is no overnight feud." Xiao Wu said.
"This..." Sun Yong's face turned even darker. After a while, he regained his composure, struggled to squeeze out a smile, and said to Chen Xing, "Captain Chen, there is no misunderstanding between us. We are on good terms. , we drank together last time, don’t you think so?”
"Of course." Chen Xing raised his glass and said.
Sun Yong picked up the wine glass in front of him, clinked it with Chen Xing, and they drank it all in one gulp.
"Isn't that great? Come on, let's have some barbecue. Today's barbecue is really good..." Xiao Wu greeted the two of them with a smile on his face.
After the meal, the conflict between Chen Xing and Sun Yong was over for the time being. In the afternoon, Xiao Wu took Chen Xing to visit the other four captains one by one. They were all polite.
Although they lost nearly a thousand gold coins, they were able to gain a firm foothold in exchange for the strong support of the mayor. At least for a short period of time, Yang Yong and other team leaders did not dare to have any ideas about him. As long as he has enough time, he can develop his own power. At that time, the other teams were jealous and there was nothing they could do.
And more importantly, he needs to stabilize and explore the No. 65 underground survival shelter as soon as possible. He had a hunch that the spider lair was the place he was looking for.
Rather than spending time on internal struggles, it would be better to cut through the mess quickly and dig for treasures quickly. He believed that the resources in the underground survival shelter were far more valuable than this cavalry sword.
