Ten minutes later, all the men and women in the square saw Captain Hong, whose face was as red as a monkey's butt, with alcohol stains on his upper body, and wearing only a pair of underpants, dancing in front of the bonfire.
The men laughed heartily, and the women peeked with half-covered eyes and blushing. Gao Yuan was also amused and laughed, but at the same time he imagined what would happen if Wu Qi lost.
"Boss, aren't you afraid of such a big bet?" Gao Yuan asked.
Wu Qi had a slight smile on his lips, and the back of Captain Hong dancing in front of the campfire was reflected in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military experts. What's more, I can get important information by competing with him."
Wu Qi has already analyzed and drawn a conclusion. It takes at least 350 kilograms of strength to fully draw a giant bow, and even higher strength is needed to stabilize it and shoot arrows accurately. It is definitely not a number that ordinary people can achieve. In other words, these hunters are all genetically enhanced to the physical level of warriors.
If the truth is as Xu Haoqing showed, Xu Jiazhai has never been exposed to the gene enhancement potion. Then they can only be naturally evolved humans, and the limit of physical strength that can be improved through exercise is much higher than that of pure humans! This can explain why Xujiazhai has been able to survive deep in the mountains where mutated animals are everywhere.
A flash of lightning flashed across Wu Qi's mind: Couldn't it be that the hunters in Xujiazhai are "the same kind" as him!
Wu Qi calmed down from his initial shock. He secretly made up his mind to learn the truth about Xujiazhai. Knowing how the evolved humans in Xujiazhai came about, he was one step closer to the truth about his own body.
... ...
The lively bonfire party lasted until two o'clock in the night before it came to an end. The villagers and traders went back to their homes, and the village master's servants came to clean up the mess. Wu Qi and others did not stay that late and went back at twelve o'clock.
Two hours ago, Wu Qi and Gao Yuan found Guo Baibo surrounded by young ladies in the crowd. Guo Baibo, who was dressed in white and filled with snow, was holding a wine glass that had been filled with wine dozens of times. There was hesitation in her beautiful peach eyes, but under the persuasion of the young ladies, the hesitation finally turned into determination, and she drank the glass of wine in her hand.
Wu Qi and Gao Yuan didn't know what the young ladies said to Guo Baibo, but they saw that Guo Baibo looked drunk, and his cheeks and earlobes were as red as late-ripening peaches in autumn, so they stepped forward and politely separated the ladies in Chinese clothes. Young ladies, tell Guo Baibo that they are going back.
There seemed to be a different meaning hidden in the eyes of the young ladies, but Wu Qi did not observe the other women's eyes carefully. He held Guo Baibai's soft and delicate arm through the thin sleeves of his Chinese clothes and gently pulled her out of the square.
Walking to the edge of the square, Wu Qi suddenly found that Gao Yuan was missing. He looked back and found that Gao Yuan, who had agreed to go back together, was standing at a barbecue stall 30 meters away, talking and laughing with the men in the hunting team. They surrounded Captain Yang, who had put on his Chinese clothes again and was sitting shivering by the door.
"lofty?"
Gao Yuan waved his hand: "Wu Qi, I'm not full yet. I'll go back later. You and Guo Baibo should go back first."
Wu Qi had no choice but to agree. Anyway, if you have fun tonight, let Gao Yuan and his friends from the hunter team stay a little longer.
Wu Qi and Guo Baibo left the edge of the square side by side. Without the light of a large number of torches, the scenery in front of us suddenly darkened. A row of colored lights extending 50 meters away was hung on both sides of the street. The weak light of the colored lights was the only light in the dark environment.
Before Wu Qi took a few steps, his right arm was touched by two soft touches. Wu Qi turned around and saw that it was the drunk Guo Baibo who was unsteady on his feet and grabbed his arm with both hands.
"Can I leave by myself?" Wu Qi asked. He didn't expect Guo Bobo to drink so much, so much that even the pioneer's body couldn't digest the excess alcohol.
"Yes..." Guo Baibai responded in a daze, his eyes like drunken peach blossoms almost narrowed into two crescents. It seemed that after she walked out from being surrounded by young ladies, all the pent-up alcoholism rushed to the top of her head.
Since Guo Baibo said he could walk, Wu Qi let her continue to hold his arm and walk for the time being.
"Guo Baibo, did you want to drink so much, or were you persuaded to drink?" He asked one more question without much emotion in his tone.
Guo Baibo's voice was just like the buzzing of mosquitoes. She didn't know what she was afraid of. She said, "They persuaded me."
Wu Qi didn't answer. His dark eyes were soaked in the boundless night, so profound that they were unpredictable.
The two walked slowly 50 meters away, because Guo Baibo's steps were chaotic and he walked slower than usual. Finally, the light of the lanterns could no longer cover Wu Qi and Guo Baibo's position, and the environment became dark.
There was a soft thud, and Guo Baibo, who had become groggy due to drunkenness, hit Wu Qi's shoulder with his head. She crossed her legs and lost her balance, and her chest sank into the inside of Wu Qi's arm. Her weak hands could not grasp Wu Qi's arm, and she fell to the ground like a puddle of fragrant mud that smelled of wine and femininity.
Wu Qi reacted quickly and squatted down to reach out and lift Guo Bobo's abdomen, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Sorry, I..." Guo Baibai said sheepishly, as if he felt that he was drunk and had caused trouble to Wu Qi.
Wu Qi looked sideways at Guo Baibo. In the dark night, Wu Qi's night vision ability is as good as that of an owl. He clearly saw the two blushes on Guo Baibai's face, the earlobes on both sides that were so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood, and the peach blossom eyes that were rippling with a blur of color.
She was completely drunk.
Wu Qi couldn't help but wonder how much Guo Baibo drank.
Wu Qi sighed softly and said calmly: "Don't leave, just get on my back."
Guo Baibo let out a soft "hmm", and two willow-like jade arms climbed up Wu Qi's broad and solid back and wrapped around the front of his neck.
Wu Qi lifted up Guo Bobo's thighs with both hands. Through the thin silk clothes, he could feel the softness and elasticity of Guo Bobo's thighs with his fingers. Wu Qi stood up slowly, leaning his weight forward, completely stabilizing Guo Baibo on his back.
Guo Baibo, who had lost most of his strength, was completely pressed against Wu Qi's body. His fair and straight breasts stuck between Wu Qi's shoulder blades through his clothes. When Wu Qi walked steadily, he would press against Wu Qi's back from time to time. Move with gentle friction.
Guo Baibo's smooth and delicate gooseneck was folded on the back of Wu Qi's neck, his goose egg-like chin rested on Wu Qi's shoulder, and his slender low ponytail hung down, dangling in Guo Baibo's blurred vision.
A cool night breeze blew in from the distance on the street. Wu Qi's body temperature, which had always been maintained at the normal temperature of 37 degrees, now automatically adjusted, and the surface of his skin rose to 42 degrees, turning it into a walking heater.
These subtle changes were completed in the blink of an eye, and Wu Qi tried his best to keep Guo Baibo's drunken and fragile body from getting cold. He didn't think much, it was just his body's instinctive reaction.
