"How long will it rain..."
On the fifth day of rain, a reserve team member looked at the sky and complained. The rest of the team members didn't answer, they just lowered their heads and remained silent.
Looking around, the whole world is gray and there is no place that is not wet. Soaking in the water for one day is uncomfortable, soaking in the water for two days is torture, and soaking in the water for five days is hell!
As misfortunes never come singly, one team member caught a cold and was wrapped in a blanket and sitting by the kerosene stove to warm himself. The weather now is wet and cold, but when I put a quilt on me, I feel stuffy and very hot.
Previously, the sick team member was feeling hot all over, his hands and feet were twitching constantly, and he was about to die. The caravan captain Charles sent a small therapeutic needle worth fifty gold coins, which stabilized the other party's condition.
On the seventh day, when everyone was about to collapse, the rain finally stopped. The sun peeked out of the clouds, and its warm rays shone on the earth.
Everyone ran out of the awning, stripped down to their underpants, and lay on their backs on chairs to bask in the sun. But within a few hours, the sun became hotter, and water vapor rose in the distance, as if the whole world was distorting.
Seven consecutive days of rain turned the entire wasteland into a swamp. The team waited for another three days until the water on the surface had almost evaporated and returned to dryness before setting off again.
The original trip of seven or eight days was suddenly extended to more than half a month. Charlie lost a truckload of goods, most of which got wet, and he lost a lot. However, those who engage in this business will be mentally prepared accordingly, so Charlie was still talking and laughing along the way. Maybe my heart is bleeding, but at least I don't show it.
"Captain Chen, if you need a ride next time, just go to the Orchid Town Chamber of Commerce and find me. No need to trouble Mr. Xiao Wu." When they were approaching Orchid Town, Charlie said to Chen Xing.
"Thank you in advance." Chen Xing said with a smile and clasped his fists.
Half an hour later, Bovat and Bova each drove a jeep and took Chen Xing and others to the underground water station. Ye Yang Bailiu was inspecting the scene. When he saw Chen Xing coming back, he came up to greet him.
"Both of us, brother and sister, usually stay at Lanxiang Bar. If anything happens, we come here to find him." Powater shook Chen Xing's hand and said.
"Okay." Chen Xing nodded vigorously and said, "If you have nothing to do in the future, you can come and stay here and leave a room for you."
"Thank you, Brother Chen." Powater clasped his hands and said solemnly, then pulled his sister behind him.
The latter was in a daze, and was pulled by the former. He staggered forward, lowered his head, and his face was slightly red. He said in a calm voice, "Thank you, thank you, Brother Chen. Please take care of me from now on..."
But here, a cold gaze glanced over, making Bo Na tremble all over.
Ye Yang Bailiu is tall, beautiful in appearance, quiet in temperament, and has skin as white as gel. Originally, Bona's figure and appearance were quite good, but when the two stood together, the gap became apparent. They were like domestic flowers and weeds, completely incomparable. In addition, Ye Yang Bailiu was born as a eldest lady, and her aura was more than a little higher. His eyes were like ice picks, staring at her. For a moment, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, her head lowered, not daring to look at each other, and just wanted to leave quickly.
"You have worked hard along the way, go back and rest quickly." Chen Xing said to smooth things over. Moreover, Sun Yong's matter has not been resolved yet, so it is not appropriate for them to get too close.
"Then... let's go first..." Under Ye Yang Bailiu's cold eyes, Bo Na got into the car as if she was running away and ran towards Orchid Town.
"It's not a simple affair." After the Bo Na brothers and sisters left, Ye Yang Bailiu said with some amusement in the underground lounge.
"What?" Chen Xing asked with a confused look on his face, as if that was really what happened.
Ye Yang Bailiu pushed him and stared into his eyes, as if saying: "Pretend, let you pretend!" The little woman's angry attitude made Chen Xing feel itchy in his heart, like a cat scratching his heart.
"How about it? The construction of the water station went quite smoothly, right?" Chen Xing said, changing the subject.
"The exterior wall is almost finished. Another batch of cement and steel bars were imported yesterday. The money is almost running out." Ye Yangbailiu said.
Chen Xing nodded in approval, and then used a black watch to pass 1,500 gold coins to Ye Yang Bailiu. A few days ago, he received the news that the auction was successful, with a total of more than 2,300 gold coins, which greatly exceeded his expectations.
He originally estimated it to be about 1,500 gold coins, which was equivalent to an extra budget of more than 800 gold coins out of thin air.
After getting the money, Ye Yang Bailiu went out happily. I also selectively forgot about Bona. No matter what origin or appearance women have, they all feel joy for gold coins from the bottom of their hearts.
Chen Xing took a hot bath, drank some oatmeal made by the cook, and had a good sleep.
When he woke up the next day, Chen Xing changed into clean clothes and asked the cook to bring bread and broth. After eating, I packed some canned fruits and candies and went through the passage in the iron cabinet to the incubation room of the ant nest.
Today, the ant nest has returned to life. Along the way, termites of all sizes were busy, and some of the worker ants were adults, growing like calves and very strong.
"Brother, you're finally here. Su Na is so lonely, woo woo..." Seeing Chen Xing, Su Na shed tears immediately. While wiping her eyes, she moved her fat body, and almost crushed Chen Xing. prosper.
After not seeing each other for a month, Su Na had gained a lot of weight, and her skin was as smooth as milk, making people want to take a bite. It seems that there is plenty of food these days, good food and good housing, I have gained a lot of meat, and my belly has grown a lot bigger.
Only then did Chen Xing remember that he had never scanned Su Na's data for so long, so he scanned it with a black watch. Unexpectedly, I was shocked on the spot!
[Mutant termite queen? (Common?) Database error...]
[Vitality: 1347/1350]
[Innate abilities: sickle legs, telepathy, egg laying, evolution]
[Viruses that may be carried: none]
This vitality was three times higher than that of the Abyss Giant Toad that day. It was really abnormal. However, Suna's defense ability is not good and she is afraid of pain, so she has no fighting ability.
"Why are you injured?" Chen Xing asked strangely. Suna's health points were reduced by three points. Logically speaking, there should be no danger in the ant nest.
"I, I'm not hurt..." Suna said hesitantly, as if she was hiding something from him.
"Huh?" Chen Xing frowned, showing displeasure.
"That's right, it's just that the baby was born. Well, it hurts..." Suna said with a blushing face.
"That's it..." Chen Xing nodded as if he had a sudden realization and did not pursue the question any further.
"Is everything okay?" Chen Xing asked again.
"Everything is fine." Su Na said happily, and then told Chen Xing about the situation of the ant nest.
Currently, there are fifty-six adult worker ants and nineteen adult soldier ants. In another two weeks, it will be back to half of its prime, with the ability to forage and defend.
"Go hard and tell me if you need anything." Chen Xing said.
"Okay." Suna responded obediently.
Chen Xing left behind a large backpack of snacks, and then left the ant nest under the escort of several worker ants.
Later, he took Aaron and Xiao Yang to the pharmacy in Orchid Town and spent one thousand gold coins to buy four primary agility potions and six primary strength potions.
In the next two weeks, he stayed at home and hid in his room every day injecting medicine, which increased his strength to 15 and his agility to 21. With the blessing of the trio, he will have a muscle strength of 45 and a nerve reaction speed of 63.
Even a strong man at the defensive level would find it difficult to have such high attributes. But it was only for a moment, and there was still a big gap between him and a real defensive-level powerhouse. But then again, it often only takes a moment to decide victory or defeat.
