Ji Anran was tired all day and was already a little sleepy. After taking a quick shower, he was ready to cover himself with the blanket and sleep.
The sudden strong aroma of roses caught him off guard, and he was completely dazed.
"An Ran, don't you dislike the smell of salted fish? How do you feel now? Is it better?"
Ji Anran's expression was very subtle, he looked Geng Yan from top to bottom. He frowned tightly, and he didn't know what was going on in his head.
"Brother Geng, you are a big man, why do you collect these rose perfumes?"
Brother Geng has been staying with him recently, and these perfumes are obviously not specially collected by Brother Geng to cover up the fishy smell.
So... What was Geng's purpose in collecting so many rose perfumes
"You haven't used women's perfume before, have you? I haven't used up a bottle of perfume yet, and this smell is all over the room. This is the case with poor-quality perfume. A little perfume will have a strong smell."
Geng Yanqing coughed: "Because zombies and some carnivorous animals have a very sensitive sense of smell, they track their prey based on the smell of blood. When I was collecting supplies, I found some perfume with a strong smell, just in case."
If he was injured and the smell of blood on his body was too strong, he could cover it up with strong perfume.
Ji Anran breathed a long sigh of relief.
"That's good. I'm really worried that you have some hobby that I don't know about."
My old Gong likes to use perfume, that's really scary!
"An Ran, we're going to collect supplies tomorrow, so we'll have a good rest tonight. However, if you think this perfume is okay, then when we're free..."
Geng Yan's eyes became hot.
Ji Anran: "...It's really hard for you."
Ji Anran passed Geng Yan and went straight to bed to rest.
I have to say, although the scent of roses is a bit... But it is much better than the smell of salted fish. At least, tonight he didn't dream again that he was stuck selling fish in the vegetable market.
As a boss, selling fish is really out of style and tiring!

The people at the base have already obtained the materials from the research institute, and they will continue to stay here for a while, and they will leave after collecting the materials.
Geng Yan and the others were delayed for a day because of the affairs of the base, so they naturally had to seize the time to collect supplies.
In the morning, Geng Yan's team was assembled and ready to board the car.
Gao Xun's expression was a little weird, he struggled for a long time, but chose to run to Ji Anran's side. He stretched his neck and sniffed Ji Anran.
He might get spanked, but it was better than having him tortured by curiosity all day long. Anyway, he won't be killed, so it doesn't matter.
Geng Yan's face was completely dark, he grabbed Gao Xun by the collar, and lifted Gao Xun in front of him.
"what are you doing?"
Geng Yan's tone was quite unkind, with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Gao Xun swallowed his saliva: "It's nothing, I just smelled something strange. An Ran, you smell so strange, is it the scent of flowers?"
Ji Anran's face froze, and he glared at Geng Yan.
"I dislike the fishy smell at the seaside. Brother Geng saw that I was uncomfortable, so he sprinkled perfume in the bedroom. This is not an important matter. Let's go, go out and find supplies."
Ji Anran felt very embarrassed, and couldn't wait to get into the car.
Geng Yan let go of Gao Xun's collar: "If you have any questions, just ask directly, and don't make small moves for me next time."
"I just took a closer sniff, and I guarantee that I haven't even touched a single hair of An Ran!" Gao Xun raised his palms and swore.
Geng Yan ignored him, turned around and got into the car.
Gao Xun thought Geng Yan was still angry and was still trying to explain.
"Brother Geng, trust me, I really don't mean to love you."
"Hahaha… "
Whether it was Ji Anran, or the other melon-eaters, they couldn't help laughing.
Geng Yan's face turned dark again.
"Okay, stop nagging, come up quickly."
Wei Yanhua shook her head, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.
"Old Gao, I still overestimated my own strength. In fact, I can't save you."
Gao Xun was choked, so he could only shut up obediently and sit in the driver's seat as the driver.
——
Geng Yan's team is all experienced veterans, and they are also experienced in collecting supplies.
They acted quickly on the previously selected resource points, and collected a lot of materials in just a few days.
In the evening, Huoshaoyun blooms beautifully in the sky.
Geng Yan and others returned to the hotel in the car, ready to rest.
The roar of the convoy came from afar, attracting everyone's attention.
Ji Anran frowned: "Although there are a lot of vehicles in the base team, it's unlikely that there will be such a big movement."
Geng Yan picked up the telescope at the side to check the situation in the distance.
"There is a convoy approaching us, and the sign on the car is that of Hope Base."
Ji Anran was surprised: "The cooperative relationship between our base and the Hope Base has almost been shattered. Although we did not explicitly refuse to cooperate, we only maintained the superficial peace and did not completely tear ourselves apart."
"This time around the beach, our base definitely didn't cooperate with the people from the Hope Base. Did they hear the news and come to the beach to catch fish?"
Geng Yan frowned: "Perhaps. Now that spring is here, many plants are still in the stage of sprouting and growing, and there are not many plant materials in the wild. Unlike the seaside, fish materials are relatively rich."
Ji Anran lowered his eyes: "Brother Geng, I'm worried that they are here for you. We had a very unpleasant fight with Wu Quan before, and he must still hold a grudge."
"That guy who tried to deceive the crystal nucleus and make troubles in our base has the nerve to come out and dance? If I meet him, I will definitely smash his old bones!" Gao Xun said angrily.
If it wasn't because he was still driving, Gao Xun might have waved his fist right now.
Ji Anran chuckled: "He is so afraid of death, he will definitely not leave Hope Base. The people from the two bases have already negotiated about the matter before, and Wu Quan compensated the base with a lot of supplies. If we take the initiative to attack now, It’s just that the teacher came out of no name and was criticized by others.”
"It's a pity that there is no evidence to prove that Wu Quan was playing tricks behind the scenes, and let that guy use his subordinates to rebel to evade it." Geng Yan still felt a little regretful when he mentioned this matter.
Ji Anran sighed, with an indescribable melancholy on his face.
"There is no way to do this. However, we have to think of a way to deal with it. If Wu Quan really intends to do something here, then he must be fully prepared."
"Soldiers come to block, water to cover. I have seen the convoy. It is hoped that people from the three forces of the base are not just from Wu Quan. Wu Quan's people are estimated to account for about one-third of the convoy. If they Dare to do it, we are not without strength."
It is hoped that the three forces in the base will guard against each other. Each of them will send about the same combat power, but they are worried that they will be plotted against by the other two forces if there are too few people.
Ji Anran nodded, but began to think in her heart.
Speaking of which, he recently collected a lot of second-order crystal nuclei, and one third-order crystal nucleus. He might try to hit the fourth level.
===
After returning to the hotel, Geng Yan held a small meeting for the team members.
"Everyone has worked hard recently. Today we encountered a lot of enemies when collecting supplies, and everyone's power consumption is not small. We will not go out tomorrow, and we will rest in the hotel for a day, and inquire about the news by the way."
"it is good."
Few people would object to Geng Yan's plan.
After searching for supplies for several days in a row, the team members are a little tired, and it is time to take a good rest.
After the meeting ended, Ji Anran went straight back to her room.
Geng Yan went to the open space near the hotel to cook. Geng Yan seldom cooks when he is away from home, and most of the team members rely on dry food and canned food to solve their food problems.
Because there is nothing to do tomorrow, Geng Yan simply went to the kitchen to cook something delicious to feed the kittens at home.
The hotel does have a kitchen but it's been dilapidated for a long time and the exhaust fan, which has no broken wires, doesn't work without electricity.
Geng Yan could only set up a bonfire to cook, and his movements were very fast and very skillful.
More than half an hour later, the cooked red prawns were rolling in the pot, and the rich aroma made people's greedy worms come out!
Countless attracted people cast longing gazes at Geng Yan...all of them were ignored by Geng Yan.
Gao Xun was so greedy that he ran up to Geng Yan and asked, "Brother Geng, as your younger brother, can I rub a shrimp?"
"I can give you the uncooked shrimp, and you cook it yourself, the water in this pot is still boiling anyway."
Geng Yan "cruelly" rejected Gao Xun's offer of eating, and after putting down several buckets of raw shrimp for the team members, he left with a large bucket of boiled shrimp in salt water.
===
Ji Anran absorbed one crystal nucleus after another, and a steady stream of energy poured into his body continuously.
No, not enough, more energy is needed...
Ji Anran frowned and continued to absorb the crystal nucleus.
All the crystal nuclei on hand have been absorbed, but Ji Anran has only touched a little barrier, and doesn't have enough energy to break through.
Coincidentally, Geng Yan walked in.
"Brother Geng, where is the wind system crystal nucleus I put in your space? You take it out, and I'll see if it can hit the impact and enter the fourth level."
When Ji Anran saw the food in Geng Yan's hand, he realized why he hadn't seen him come back after waiting in the room for a long time.
Geng Yan was startled: "Okay, here we are."
Geng Yan could only sit aside, guarding Ji Anran.
Ji Anran absorbed the crystal nuclei faster and faster, and the crystal nuclei disappeared without a trace in Ji Anran's hands.
Finally, Ji Anran suddenly opened his eyes, the eyes sparkling.
"Brother Geng, I've advanced!"
