Chapter 13: Ring merit

"Half-day flower, a poisonous flower on the outskirts of the Seven-Colored Valley. The toxin is small, but not easily detected. It acts slowly and causes continuous damage to the human body, causing the poisoned person to gradually lose strength and various physiological functions... After half a day, they become toys at the mercy of others."

"But the toxicity of the half-day flower will gradually disappear after half a day, and the poisoned person will recover as normal after a day, so we will take action after 12 hours, when he is the weakest. If he reacts in advance... then we will take action in advance."

"When this guy was carrying something out just now, I heard the sound of heavy coins inside... At least no less than 200 yuan."

"If we succeed in this project, we can have some meat..."

Two men with pointed chins and monkey faces hid behind a tree, staring at Cheng Shaofeng's shed with their eyes slightly narrowed.

There is never a shortage of speculators in the wasteland.

They are like cockroaches, they can never be eradicated.

Zhang San and Luo Wu are such people. They are also scavengers, but their luck is not as good as Cheng Shaofeng and Wu Jie.

No valuable items have been found in 3 days.

All the little property that was previously saved was spent.

Zhang San recalled a previous experience of being poisoned, which happened just outside the human restricted area, the Colorful Valley. After breathing in the scent of this flower, he felt like dying half a day later, then came back to life after lying down for a day, and was fine again.

The above experiences were all gained through experiments on his own body.

Yesterday, the two men, who were almost at the end of their rope, had evil intentions again. They covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, picked a half-day flower, and prepared to find a fat sheep in Yanjing Town to prey on.

The hunters were too alert and were not their target.

They targeted Cheng Shaofeng who was carrying a bag to the store to buy things, and heard the sound of iron coins in his bag.

After the two of them discussed it, they put the flowers directly in Cheng Shaofeng's room.

Then wait for the fish to turn over.

Zhang San hid behind the book and smiled sinisterly: "This poisonous flower has no effect on creatures with strong vitality like the predators, but it is enough to deal with ordinary people. If this job goes smoothly, we can make more use of this poisonous flower, hehehe~"

Luo Wu: "But if the mayor finds out... wouldn't that be too harsh?"

"That old guy is old... His stuff is no longer useful. He can only torture his newly married wives for fun. Haven't you noticed that his patrols have been much less frequent recently? We just need to be careful not to be discovered by them. In the wasteland, a scavenger dies after being poisoned... It's normal."

"Oh... That's right, brother is still the best!"

"Then don't you look at who I am! Hehehe~"

Two scavengers hiding in the shadows were ready to rob Cheng Shaofeng.

Following their gazes... a wisp of white smoke was faintly rising from Cheng Shaofeng's tent.

"Hiccup~"

After eating 2 kilograms of boiled beans, Cheng Shaofeng burped with satisfaction.

This thing tastes average, but it's still filling.

Otherwise, it would not have become the common dry food in the Colossus City area.

He drank most of the bean soup and poured the rest into the box to extinguish the wood.

Cheng Shaofeng looked at the time. It was only 9 o'clock in the morning. It was still early for the hunters to come back, so he could take a short rest.

"Yanjing Town is three hours away from me. If I rely on manpower to make a round trip, the amount of goods I can transport is too small and it will be slow. No, I have to find a means of transportation."

Sitting up from the bed, Cheng Shaofeng walked towards the shed again, ready to find a two-wheeled wooden cart.

At this moment, there was a sudden flash in front of his eyes, and a green damage value jumped out in front of him.

Damaged by poison, hp-1, duration: very long

Before Cheng Shaofeng had time to panic, a flash of light appeared on the ring and his blood volume filled up again.

He can see at the base that his basic life value is 500 points.

"Huh? Why... are you poisoned?"

Cheng Shaofeng felt a little strange. He was attacked by poison for no apparent reason, and it was 1 point at that.

"But... this amount of damage is not as fast as my life recovery speed, which is almost the same as not being poisoned?"

"Is it because the beans are expired? Or is it because this place is too humid... The number of microorganisms exceeds the limit? Judging from the duration, it is estimated that..."

He shook his head and prepared to go back early after finishing his work.

Zhang San and Luo Wu outside saw Cheng Shaofeng dragging the bag out again, and followed quietly behind him.

Cheng Shaofeng went to the store and bought a two-wheeled wooden cart and put his things on it.

Then he stayed in his shed for 3 hours, and when he heard the hunters coming back, he dragged his car outside.

He bought a mutated dog that had just been killed from a hunter, a two-headed deer from another hunter, and finally a mutated blood deer from hunter Wang Qian.

The three prey were placed on the cart... and they left Yanjing Town.

Walk briskly.

Zhang San and Luo Wu looked at each other.

(〃°ー°)(°ー°〃)

Zhang San: "Why... is he like nothing happened?"

Luo Wu: "I feel better now, like I just had a full meal..."

Zhang San's face turned gloomy.

"He must be pretending... He found out he was poisoned and is trying to run. Let's chase him and kill him somewhere deserted. These prey... are all ours!"

"Walk!"

The two of them quickly chased after him.

Cheng Shaofeng's scavenger partner Wu Jie is not here, he is outside Yanjing Town... They can just use force.

20 minutes later.

A place where the mountain road turns.

Cheng Shaofeng, who was pulling a small cart of prey, wiped the sweat off his forehead, opened his water cup and took a sip.

"It's really tiring to carry more than 300 kilograms of stuff on the mountain road."

If the wheeled vehicle he bought had not come with two badly worn tires, he would probably have died of exhaustion on the road.

Sudden!

There was a rustling sound from behind, and two men with crowbars rushed over.

Zhang San and Luo Wu.

Cheng Shaofeng took a step back vigilantly, stood behind the cart, and picked up the rusty mace from the car.

"Zhang San, Luo Wu... why are you following me?"

Zhang San grinned: "What are we going to do... Don't you understand? This truckload of supplies is ours."

Luo Wu: "If you're smart, put all your stuff on the cart and get out of here. I'll spare your life because we're all scavengers."

Cheng Shaofeng's eyebrows moved slightly.

"What if I say no?"

Zhang San approached slowly with a crowbar in hand: "Then leave the people and supplies behind... I heard that in some settlements, human flesh is also a circulating commodity."

Luo Wu approached from another direction, forming a double team with Zhang San.

But both of them were very careful in their movements, and their eyes were always fixed on Cheng Shaofeng's mace.

Luo Wu shouted, "I advise you not to commit suicide. If you lose something, you can still pick it up again, but if you lose your life... you lose everything."

Zhang San: "If I'm not mistaken... you don't have much strength left in your limbs now, right? You still have a chance to survive before the poison erupts, otherwise... hehe~"

Cheng Shaofeng's eyes narrowed.

"You poisoned me? No wonder..."

He glanced at the two people approaching and asked, "If I put the things down, can you really let me go?"

Zhang San and Luo Wu looked at each other and showed a hint of joy.

Zhang San: "That's right, everyone in Yanjing Town knows that we two brothers are the most trustworthy. Put your mace in the car and get out of here!"

Cheng Shaofeng nodded: "I understand..."

Slowly put the mace on the car...

"Get started!"

The two men rushed forward with crowbars in hand like demons with bared fangs.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two gunshots rang out from the woods.
