What's more, judging from her tone, it seems like she doesn't want it for the time being.

Chu Ji finally suppressed this thought for the time being, and used the fish paste fire to cook a seafood barbecue for Lin Qiao in the evening.

It snowed for three days in total, and the freezing temperatures sealed the ice around the temple. It was too inconvenient to go shopping in the desert at this time, so Lin Qiao and Chu Ji finished planning the place in the stone forest. .

The hollowed-out stone tree was filled with a thick pile of snow, which looked like a small glacier from a distance.

Stone flower boxes are placed neatly along the edge, and a small stone pavilion is built not far away from a tree. Inside, there are complete stone tables and benches. On the table is a set of silver tea sets that Lin Qiao bought from the boat. .

She also found an antique object, a kerosene lamp, and put a piece of fish oil in it to light it and it would burn for a long time. Under the red sky, she placed a bright lamp in the pavilion, and then placed steaming food and bowls and chopsticks. It seems that the atmosphere will not be so eerie.

Lin Qiao was very satisfied with his masterpiece and stayed in this small pavilion for another whole day.

Chu Ji let her do whatever she wanted here. Anyway, he was doing most of the hard work. Facing his lover's instructions, he bubbled with complete happiness and enjoyed it.

On the fifth day, the sky finally cleared.

Lin Qiao was also exhausted in the temple. When she wanted to go fishing to relieve her boredom, she found that the sea surface was frozen to death. She jumped on it and stepped on it hard, but the sole of her foot slipped and she fell down.

The ice on the sea surface was very solid. Her body had been strengthened and she was wearing thick clothes. She didn't feel any pain when she fell. Even Chu Ji was so distressed that he helped her up with his feet and even wanted to rub her butt. .

"It doesn't hurt!"

She quickly stopped His behavior, which easily reminded her of what happened in the bathtub before.

Chu Ji wrapped his arms around her waist and helped her stand up, "What do you want to do? Just tell me."

Lin Qiao stepped on the ice beneath her feet, "I just wanted to see if it was frozen solid. I wanted to come down and play for a while."

The water in the Black Sea will not freeze even in extremely cold conditions. The sharp beaks of the mutated sea creatures below can break through the ice. It is impossible to stand in this ice and snow now.

She tried to take two steps forward, then took off her legs and started running, imitating the people in the skating rink on TV. Her shoes scraped against the ice, and from time to time she would slip away a certain distance after taking two steps.

At noon, the frozen sea became crystal clear under the sunlight. The white world was mixed with blue and yellow, and Lin Qiao stood in it and looked back at the stone city covered with white snow, just like in a fairy tale world. A strange castle. Under the castle stands a big demon with swaying tentacles.

The devil looked at her tenderly, with an unusually soft smile on his lips.

Lin Qiao breathed out a breath of cold air, raised a bright smile and shouted at him, "I'm tired of playing! Come and pick me up!"

The legs quickly spread over, rolled her back to the castle, and buried themselves in Chu Ji's warm chest. Lin Qiao's hands were tucked in along the sides of his clothes, and she rubbed against his thin waist to keep warm.

Chu Ji kissed her temples, hugged her and walked inside, "How about having seafood hot pot tonight?"

"I'm a little tired of eating seafood. I've almost eaten all the food we brought." Lin Qiao leaned against him, "But this is probably the last snow that will fall in winter. When the ice melts, spring will come. , let’s go back to Desolation to buy more inventory.”

Chu Ji heard her say that she was tired of eating seafood, and finally thought about it again, cut off one of her limbs, and made her a plate of "spicy fried squid."

Strictly speaking, his species is not included in the category of seafood, and there is no smell of seafood. With his superb cooking skills and superb stir-frying techniques, Lin Qiao will only get drunk.

She had to admit that her partner was very delicious and very filling. After eating a plate of "squid slices" that night, her body was burning with anger.

The bathtub placed in the corner of the temple had just been filled with hot water by Chu Ji. She didn't even take a bath before going to bed. She stepped on His scarlet feet that covered the floor and said enthusiastically: "Let's do it first."

This was the second time Chu Ji received her invitation, and his smile was suddenly filled with some indescribable excitement.

Most of the things she had learned in the club had not been tried before. This time, with Lin Qiao's connivance, all the skills were used on her.

The indescribable process lasted until early in the morning. Lin Qiao, who was sucked dry by the goblin again, was so tired that she couldn't even wipe her hair. She fell on his lap and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

The days of being isolated from the world lasted for another whole month. Lin Qiao had played all the original activities. In the end, Lin Qiao still felt that he had to buy a generator or at least install a TV, right? It is necessary to understand current affairs and politics.

The frozen sea surface has melted with the rising temperature, and milky white broken ice floats in the middle of the deep blue ocean.

"It's time for us to go to the wilderness." Lin Qiao said.

But the travel tool must not use the bathtub anymore.

She asked Bai Ya to fish up another small boat from the bottom of the sea, and instructed Chu Ji to dismantle and piece together a few wooden boards, on which a chair and a tattered parasol turned out from the big boat were fixed. The frame of the umbrella was still there, Lin Joe tied a sheet up himself to provide shade.

After confirming that the newly made boat was firm and would not fall apart, Chu Ji once again acted as the boatman. Before leaving, he thoughtfully handed Lin Qiao a rope, with one end in her hand and the other end around his waist.

"If you feel the speed is too fast, just tug on the rope. If you're tired, tug on it, and I'll come up and make you something to eat."

Chu Ji stepped into the role of the perfect wife and succeeded in making Lin Qiao speechless.

After preparing everything, the two of them bid farewell to Stone City for the time being. Chu Ji pulled the small board carrying Lin Qiao and swam out.

It took a day to reach the desolate border. The beach on the coastline was composed of small pure black sand. A little sunshine peeked out of the leaden sky, falling on the messy towers and houses in the distance.

Completely different from the steel forest of Wandering City, this place is dominated by yellow sand and damaged stacked stone and iron houses, like a super large slum.

When he was about to approach the shore, Chu Ji transformed into his human form, cleaned himself up and put on a neat shirt and trousers, and sat next to Lin Qiao with his beautiful skin protruding from his body. The small wooden board drifted with the current, and was gently slid by his feet from time to time. , successfully docked.

As soon as the two of them stepped onto the black sand, several red dots were aimed at their chests.

From a close distance, two armed men wearing face coverings and bulletproof vests opened the door on the top of the sentry tower and had uniform gang tattoos on their arms.

"Where did it come from?"

The man pressed his gun against Chu Ji's chest. He smiled and replied: "Wandering City, come and escape."

Anyone who lives in the desert is not involved in a murder case or is in trouble with a chaebol. All kinds of reasons can be lumped together into one escape.

It's just that Chu Ji's face was too delicate, and his temperament really looked like a young man from a wealthy family. The man asked again: "What's the reason? And why are you wearing sunglasses?"

From a distance, I could see him standing on the wooden board in this weird outfit.

Chu Ji thought for a while, took off the sunglasses on his nose and said, "Kill a lot of people."

It had been a long time since he had worn contact lenses to disguise himself. This pair of sunglasses was a gift given to him when he went to the supermarket to buy things. Lin Qiao used them to put them on him. With his angular face, he was full of momentum. The style is in place.

The strange vertical pupils looked like the eyes of a crocodile, adding a bit of terror to this harmless face.

But now people like to tattoo their eyes with color, which is not uncommon here.

Now the two gang members believed that he was a bad guy. They calmed down and said, "Bounty hunter? No matter who you are, since you are on the coastline chartered by us, if you want to enter the desert, you will have to pay a fee."

This is equivalent to protection money.

Lin Qiao didn't know what was going on, so he rummaged through the wooden boards, and finally came out with a box and handed it to them.

She came back this time to buy jewelry from Zhou Qi, but she didn't bring anything valuable. When the two people opened the box and took a look, they were both stunned.

It is a species of fish that has never been seen before.

Lin Qiao said: "There is no need to use purifiers. The meat of pure, uncontaminated fish is much more delicious than contaminated fish."

The other person looked happy, probably knowing how difficult it is to raise one of these things.

"OK."

No one here will scrutinize where your items were collected from, and the two of them were quickly let into the deserted city.

Ji Qiu had taken a drop of Chu Ji's blood before, which was equivalent to carrying a locator with him. He took Lin Qiao directly to a tailor shop.

Ji Qiu was working here. When he heard the wind chime ringing softly on the door, he raised his eyes and looked over. He put down the work in his hands and said in surprise: "Lin Qiao!"

Lin Qiao was hugged by her. The long-awaited greetings and motherly warmth made her relax, "Long time no see."

Zhou Qi had told Ji Qiu about her successful escape from Wandering City more than a month ago. The two of them had saved most of the money for the jewelry they exchanged here as promised. Now that the three of them have returned to the place where they live together, Ji Qiu will belong to Their portion was handed over.

"There are no online banks here, all currencies are traded directly."

After Chu Ji collected the money, Lin Qiao thanked her, and it was almost too late for the two of them to chat for a while.

After Zhou Qi removed his identity as a police officer in the Federal Special Department, he was recruited into a gang in a deserted area to manage a specific area because of his unique identity as a genetic evolver.

When Lin Qiao came back, he said welcome and briefly chatted with her about the current situation in Wandering City.

The contents of the USB flash drive that Lin Qiao gave to the news agency were all exposed on the Internet. The nature was so bad that several major leaders and plutocrats from both sides were sent to prison by the government.

The company was reshuffled after the chaos, and the federal government successfully obtained the other half of the genetic evolution potion formula retained by the biological company. They had no reason to be suppressed anymore, and their power position changed from a tripartite to dominate the country's situation, and a subtle tilt of the scale occurred.

The super companies all put their tail between their legs and behaved themselves, and this situation was also expected by Lin Qiao.

Zhou Qi added: "However, the biological company has recently had a new leader, and Wen Guangji has retreated behind the scenes. The resume that the new person has released has directly crushed the original Wen Guangji, and he seems to be an out-and-out scientific man." mad Men."

He turned on the TV, tuned to the channel in Wandering City, and switched to information about the biological company.

The man who appeared on the screen looked very young, in his early 30s at most, but with the help of various beauty formulas, no one could guess his true age.

With a smile, he introduced to everyone the "Oxygen M1" newly developed by the biological company. It enters the body through a booster and can breathe freely underwater for 30 minutes. This is undoubtedly a good thing for workers who go to sea.

Lin Qiao raised her chin and looked at the man explaining on the screen, then glanced at Chu Ji.

"Same as before."

Chu Ji turned around: "What?"

"A rigid smile." Lin Qiao pressed the corners of her lips with her fingertips, "It's like a ruler that has been carefully measured, just like you before."

Chu Ji did not deny it and said with a smile: "I think it's similar too, but what I'm smiling now is from the bottom of my heart."

"I know, I feel comfortable now." She nodded.

Lin Qiao only attributed this to her acting personality and did not think about the monster parasitism. After all, Chu Ji was by her side at the moment.

Ji Qiu gave her a piece of meat with chopsticks at the right time to remind her to eat.

"eat more."

Lin Qiao lowered her head to cook attentively. The fresh rice had aroused the greed in her stomach.

Zhou Qi also brushed off this topic, so they would never go back to that place again.

Beside him, Chu Ji, who didn't need to eat this kind of food, kept staring at the pictures on the TV, his eyes slightly narrowed and his smile suppressed.

It really looks like human beings who have been polluted by their own kind.

Did that correct sequence also attract some nameless creature to project some of its abilities here?

After dinner, Ji Qiu packed up a room next door for the two of them to live in. Zhou Qi received an impromptu call on the way, put on a thick coat and prepared to go out again.

"Three more people died in the mountain range behind. That's our jurisdiction. I have to go and take a look." His expression was ugly, and he buttoned the buttons in his hands very quickly.

Lin Qiao: "It's very unfair to be desolate."

Zhou Qi looked at her, his eyes still covered with a layer of cyan. He hadn't slept well for a long time recently.

"When I first came here, it wasn't as chaotic as I imagined. All the bloody things happened in gambling establishments where life agreements were signed. As long as you regularly paid residence fees to the area under the jurisdiction of your gang, you could save your life to a large extent. We are protected and there have been no casualties around us, just in the past few days."

He recalled something terrible, looked at Chu Ji unconsciously, and said:

"The desolate area is too vast, and the living population is just a speck of dust in the desert compared with it. Behind the living area is a mountain range that no one has ever set foot on. The entrance at the foot of the mountain is the jurisdiction of my gang. I have also heard others say that this area The place is covered in ice and snow all year round, contrary to the normal four seasons. When spring came this year, the snow miraculously melted, revealing the appearance of the mountains, and then began to die inexplicably."
