As long as there is Yuan energy, the awakened people are like supermen. Once the Yuan energy is exhausted, they will become tired and their physical energy will decline. If the Yuan energy is seriously overdrawn, a situation like Tang Shi will occur, where all the Yuan energy is exhausted. The system is provided for system upgrades, so the physical energy is reduced to the level of ordinary people.
After running around all night, they were far away from Xianglong City.
During the day, they would stop the car to rest twice, hunt and set up a barbecue. They could only eat meat. They left in such a hurry that they didn't bring anything with them. Some of them didn't even bring a change of clothes. What's more, they didn't have so much time to enjoy the food slowly. They had to get to Shuanghua City as soon as possible. Just fine.
They were protecting five researchers, and they had researched the energy card. All the energy needed for the bus to move forward was given to these five researchers. One of them is an awakened person, but his level is not high. He can use Yuan Energy, but he cannot be expected to fight, but he can still make energy cards.
When they left the research institute, they naturally took out a lot of energy cards and energy crystals and placed them in space cards.
This was what Yanxu had expected. As researchers, it was impossible for them not to take away those important research materials when they escaped from the institute. Those were their research results and their lives, and they could not be thrown away. , but he couldn't guess where it would be placed, and he didn't ask.
In the eyes of others, the five researchers were alone, with nothing but one person.
Among the five people, only Dr. Shi brought a small bag. It was not big, only about the size of a palm. It was gray and made of unknown material. It was like a common coin purse buckled on a belt in peacetime. It was very inconspicuous and ordinary. .
Tang Shi would glance at Dr. Shi's small bag from time to time. Dr. Shi didn't pay attention to it the first few times. Two days later, when Tang Shi looked at it again, he received a fierce glare from Dr. Shi.
Tang Shi had no choice but to look away, touch his nose, and continue to eat his barbecue.
Yanxu, who came back from surveying the surrounding situation, happened to see this scene. He walked over, picked up a skewer of black meat that had been grilled by Tang Shi, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Why are you always staring at Dr. Shi?" ?What’s wrong with him?”
Tang Shi waved to him and motioned for him to come over. Yanxu put his ear to it, and Tang Shi whispered: "Did you see the small bag buckled on his belt? That's a good thing."
Yanxu had long seen the small bag buckled on Dr. Shi's waist and didn't pay much attention to it. It looked like an ordinary coin purse, nothing special about it.
Tang Shi continued to whisper: "I have seen exactly the same thing in the system mall. It sells 5,000 Yuaneng cards. It is called a 'small backpack'. There are 4 small space grids in it. It is equivalent to a 'physical space card' and can be used by ordinary people." .”
Yanxu was surprised, but he didn't show it. He still ate the burnt barbecue with an expressionless expression. No one knew what Tang Shi said to him, and nothing could be seen from his expression.
Yanxu just nodded, indicating that he understood, and glanced at Tang Shi.
Tang Shi also nodded to express his understanding.
Councilor Tu Wenyu asked them to protect the researchers to Shuanghua City just to protect their research results from being destroyed. They didn't know where the research materials were before, but now it seems that they must be on Dr. Shi's back. It's in the bag, but this kind of thing has never appeared before. If Tang Shi hadn't seen it in the system mall, he wouldn't have recognized it. Now knowing where those important materials are, they can take care to protect them.
They finished their food and continued on their way.
The route forward was discussed between Tang Shi and Yanxu. Tang Shi would choose a relatively safe route based on the map of the Nine Ancient Wastelands, but this was not the nearest route.
Basically none of them have been to the east, but some of the awakening troops who followed had followed Lu An to Shuanghua City, so they remembered the way.
A few days later, an Awakening Army finally raised a question. He believed that the route they took was incorrect. The new capital Shuanghua was due east, and the path chosen by Yanxu would undoubtedly take them a long way around, which was very wasteful. time.
Others are also very confused. Most people have never been to Xindu Shuanghua, so they naturally don’t know how to take the route. Since someone has raised questions, it means that the route is really wrong.
"The route is correct, keep going like this." Yanxu gave an affirmative answer.
Since the captain has said so, everyone has no choice but to continue this way.
In the first few days, everyone was alert and worried about an ambush. However, after walking for two months, they did not encounter any too difficult problems except for encountering some aliens on the road.
The researcher, who had always seemed very nervous, finally relaxed at this moment.
One day at noon, when they got off the car to rest, they saw a gathering place not far ahead. The gathering place was not very large and could barely be regarded as a medium-sized gathering place. People kept coming in and out of the city gate, and it looked peaceful, just like Xianglong City back then. Who would have thought that Xianglong City would be completely destroyed overnight
They have left Xianglong City for more than two months. None of them knows what the situation is in Xianglong City. They are still on the road and the news is blocked. They cannot find out the news about Xianglong City until they arrive at Shuanghua City.
They have been savages for more than two months. They are all dirty and smelly, and their hair has grown much longer.
Tang Shi and others have the best image among them. They have clothes that they can change and wash. If they really feel dirty, they can wash up near a water source during their rest time. They will not be so dirty that they stink. Everyone Among them, the one with the cleanest appearance looks fresh and refreshed every day, making others envious and jealous.
During the break, an awakened person named Ma Duan in the Hunter Alliance suggested that they go to the gathering place to rest for two days and reorganize themselves. They were all so dirty that they could hardly stand it anymore.
Ma Duan's suggestion was affirmed by the other two people, who agreed that they should go to the gathering place in front, take a hot bath, change into clean clothes, eat a full meal, and then sleep well, so that they can be full of energy. , continue on the way.
This proposal was rejected by Yanxu, and he asked them to rest quickly and continue on their way later.
Ma Duan was a little angry. He looked at Tang Shi and others and said bluntly: "You all have space cards and can change your clothes at will. Of course you don't understand how we feel. What's wrong with going to a gathering place? If you can't do it for two days, then you can't do it for one or half a day." Okay, it's just a matter of rectification. It won't waste much time. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about these brothers. Look at these Awakening Army brothers. It's not easy for them all the way. Even if they don't say it, they have to. Take it into consideration."
The Awakening Army sat down and rested on the ground one by one. They didn't say a word, they just looked up at Yanxu, waiting for his instructions. The brilliance in their eyes was clearly expectation and desire. Of course they all wanted to go to the city to organize things. , but they didn’t dare to do it without an order.
Tang Shi remembered this person. It was the Yanxu who raised the question when Councilor Tu Wenyu appointed him as the vice-captain. He gave only two words, "No" with an expressionless face.
Song Xicheng looked like a peacemaker and said, "How about we vote by a show of hands and the minority obeys the majority? I think we should go to the gathering place to repair it."
Tang Shi laughed and said, "What do you think you are doing? Playing house? You have to show your hands to vote when you encounter problems?"
Song Xicheng was blocked by Tang Shi, and his expression became ugly.
Ma Duan sighed angrily, "Yeah, now one of you is the captain and the other is the vice-captain. You and I don't leave each other along the way. Does anyone else in this team have the right to speak? Not everyone. Do you have the final say?"
A small elemental light ball was thrown over and hit the ground in front of Ma Duan, making a small crater and spraying mud into Ma Duan's mouth.
Ma Duan suddenly jumped up from the ground, "Fuck you, do you want to die?!"
Long Mian also stood up from the ground, "If you want to die, I will help you."
After all, Ma Duan is just an awakened person, and he is still a little wary of Long Mian. The ancient dragon bloodline is no joke. In a real fight, he will definitely not be Long Mian's opponent. If he doesn't say anything or do anything now, How will I behave in front of everyone in the future
So he pinched his neck and shouted: "What I said is the truth. They are muttering all day long, what are they planning? I am not the only one with eyes, everyone can see it!"
Tang Shi and Yan Xu were close, and Long Mian saw it, but he held back. He knew that Tang Shi and Yan Xu were discussing how to better avoid fighting and reach Shuanghua City safely, but Just because he understands it doesn't mean others will understand it, and it will always cause misunderstandings.
Tang Shi stood up, patted the dirt on his pants, and said leisurely: "Going to the city to rest is just an excuse for you to find trouble. If you are dissatisfied with me, say it directly. Don't mislead others with insinuations."
Ma Duan clenched his fists with hatred and hesitated a little, but still said it loudly, "I just can't stand it, letting such a sinister and vicious person like you become the vice-captain!"
Tang Shi looked at him with a half-smile but no hint of emotion or anger, "Who do you want to be? Who do you think is qualified to be the vice-captain?"
Ma Duan said angrily: "Anyone can do it, but it can't be you!"
Tang Shi spread his hands indifferently, "Then I'll give you the vice-captain qualification. You are the vice-captain now. What do you want to do next? Go to the city to rest?"
Ma Duan was stunned and couldn't understand what Tang Shi wanted to do.
Duan Chen suddenly howled, "Give it to me, give it to me. I'm sure it's more suitable than him. Just forget it. Since you want it out, you might as well give it to me."
Ma Duan had a dark face and looked at Duan Chen with sinister eyes.
Yanxu stood aside, watching the farce with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Is it over?"
Everyone fell silent. Yanxu glanced at the audience and continued: "Every decision I make does not need to be explained to you. Since I am the captain, my words are orders, and you must obey them! This is a task, not Let you come and enjoy the trip! Ma Duan, if you want to go to the city to rectify, I will give you this privilege and leave the team immediately!"
Ma Duan's dark face suddenly turned blood red, and he said angrily: "Why do you want me to leave the team? You don't have the qualifications!"
Yan Xu sternly reprimanded: "You delayed the mission. I am qualified to shoot you, but am I not qualified to tell you to get out?!"
Tang Shi shrank his neck, always feeling that the Yanxu from the previous life was back, and his temper was so hot that he must not touch his reverse scales, otherwise he would die miserably.
Ma Duan was so angry that he gasped and stared at Yanxu with his neck stiffened, still thinking that he was right.
The scene became very stiff for a while, no one spoke anymore. Everyone looked at Yanxu and then at Ma Duan, wondering if Yanxu really wanted to chase Ma Duan away.
The peacemaker, Old Song Xicheng, hurriedly smiled and said: "It's just an idea to go to the city for rectification. Ma Duan also thinks about everyone. If the captain doesn't agree, then we will move on. Why do we have to be so deadlocked? Everyone has been through life and death. It’s really not necessary.”
Seeing that Ma Duan and Song Xicheng were honest, Yanxu said sternly with a straight face: "I'll say it for the last time. Anyone who refuses to obey will be asked to leave the team and I will never keep them! Get in the car!"
Everyone got up from the ground and walked to the bus quickly and neatly.
Ma Duan remained silent and followed the others into the car. He didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. He avoided Yan Xu's eyes and didn't even dare to look at him.
