"Uuuuuuu, brother, how good or bad are you..."
Chen Xing made a bed out of vines and lay on it, eating fruits and wandering around, having a great time. He couldn't help but think of the time he spent in the countryside when he was a child. Playing in the mountains and fields, drinking sweet and cold mountain spring water when thirsty, eating fruits from the trees when hungry, and climbing up trees to lie down carefree.
The warm sunshine shines on my body, making me feel warm. He yawned, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Gradually, his head tilted, the remaining half of the fruit fell on the ground, and he fell asleep.
Quietly, vines grew on the ground, like the tentacles of a sea anemone, entwining each other, growing upward, and finally wrapped the hammock, forming a capsule.
I don't know how long it took before Chen Xing woke up. Before he could fully open his eyes, the vines quickly retracted to the ground with a "whoosh" sound.
"Brother, you're awake. Did you sleep well?" Suna's sweet voice sounded in his mind.
"It's okay." Chen Xing replied, with a hint of weakness in his voice.
Although he rested for a few days, Chen Xing still felt tired. The previous overdraft was too serious and he could not recover in a short time.
"Su Na, take me out." Chen Xing stood up and moved his body and said to the sky.
"Okay~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xing felt a huge suction coming from the sky. His body floated weightlessly and rushed towards the sky.
"Whoa!"
Then everything went dark and Su Na spat on the ground.
Chen Xing fell to his knees and hit the ground with the back of his head, and there were stars in his eyes. Suna hurriedly helped him up with her slender legs and apologized profusely. Chen Xing's eyes were burning, but she had no choice but to run out of energy. Otherwise, she would have been forced to turn into a human and taken back to the room to be punished.
After returning to the water station from the incubation room, within two days, the temperature dropped sharply, and the first snow of this winter finally arrived.
Overnight, the wasteland turned into a sea of snow, vast and boundless for thousands of miles.
The refugee camp was bustling with people and excitement. Outside the colorful tent, there are large pots standing with steaming hot water. The adults gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, while the children ran around and built snowmen under the wall.
Now, the refugees from the three tribes have moved here, and the water station suddenly has thousands of people, making it very lively, and the winter does not seem so cold.
After Chen Xing had breakfast, he was escorted by the guard Hook, wrapped in his coat, and came to the radish planting field. Hook is the second son of the chief of the Sand tribe, and was introduced to Chen Xing as his bodyguard. However, Chen Xing went out some time ago and temporarily worked under Aaron.
In the shrubbery, crystal snowflakes pressed against the branches and leaves, and the plump berries became increasingly red as blood.
"The snow came just in time, you can pick it right away!" Seeing Chen Xing, Carrot immediately ran over and said excitedly. You must wait until it snows to pick red berries, otherwise the shelf life will be significantly reduced.
Looking at the heavy red berries among the branches and leaves, Chen Xing thought for a while and ordered, "Distribute one-third of the harvest, and contact the merchant to sell the other two-thirds."
"Boss, since we have so many people now, we might as well dig a cellar, find some brewmasters, brew it ourselves, and then sell it to bars in the town." Carrot suggested.
"Well..." Chen Xing pondered for a while and felt that what Luobo said was feasible. You can make more money by making your own wine without wasting labor, so I let the other party make arrangements.
"Boss, I, my wife..." Luobo showed a fawning smile and started to bring up old things again.
Just as Chen Xing was about to refuse, he suddenly remembered that Chief Sander wanted to marry his daughter to him. Then he turned to Hook and said, "Ask your father to arrange a wife for our wilderness tree shepherd."
"Okay!" Hook looked at Carrot, grinned, and agreed.
"If it's appropriate, the wedding will be held in a few days and everyone will have a good time to celebrate." Chen Xing patted Luo Luo on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, boss, thank you!" Luo Bao said with ecstasy on his face.
At this time, a guard ran over through the snow and reported to Chen Xing: "Captain, the mayor sent someone to find you and asked you to come over for lunch."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Chen Xing replied, then returned to the camp, changed into neat and clean military uniforms, got on the jeep, and headed to Orchid Town.
When passing by Zhen Street, Chen Xing saw that Aaliyah's gun shop was still closed, and thought that after so many days, he didn't know if the other party was out of danger. However, with Aaliyah's strength, she can regain most of her strength with just a few days of rest. It was probably because he drove the dune buggy away and could only walk back on two legs, so it was slower.
Thinking of Aaliyah's angry look when she found out that the car had been driven away, he felt very happy. This girl plans to plot against herself whenever she gets the chance, so she should suffer a little. In the past, he was worried that she would be a king-level powerhouse in the future, but after this trip to the Black Death Forest, he suddenly felt that he was not so afraid of her, and he even had a vague feeling that sooner or later, he would have to suppress her.
At lunch time, Chen Xing arrived on time at the mayor's residence, the small castle in the north of the town.
The meal was in the mayor's study. When he entered, the mayor was wrapped in a big quilt and warming himself by the stove, looking afraid of the cold.
"I hate winter the most." As soon as he saw Chen Xing, the mayor complained, "There was no winter where we used to be."
"Yeah, it's such a nasty season." Chen Xing agreed, probably because the mayor used to live in a tropical area and was not well adapted to winter.
After chatting for a few words, the two quickly got down to business.
"Well done!" The mayor poured a glass of wine for Chen Xing and handed it over.
"It all depends on the mayor's care." Chen Xing took the wine and said modestly.
"Next year I plan to repair the outer walls of the town and build a corpse processing plant." The mayor said.
"Do you need a lot of money?" Chen Xing asked.
"We only do rough processing to facilitate transportation. When the time comes, the corpse merchants from Roast Duck Town and Beauty Town will come here first, make 'black pulp' and then transport it to Longshi Town. This will save a lot of travel expenses, and also provide We provide a lot of employment opportunities,” the mayor said.
"I will fully cooperate." Chen Xing said. There was no need for him to pay anyway, and even if he was asked to pay, he would have no money. The exploration of underground survival shelter No. 65 was interrupted, and he had no chance to make a fortune. The group of steam silkworms is there, and unless another entrance can be found, there is no way to continue.
The steam silkworm's strength was extremely terrifying, and it was a group animal. It could level Orchid Town in an instant. He did not dare to take this risk. Fortunately, steam silkworms are gentle and herbivorous animals, so as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke them, they won't cause any trouble.
