With Xiao Mo's endless repair, the red mill in the snow can grind the corpse-eating dragon insect to death, not to mention that Xiao Mo also knows the key point of the king insect - the location of the energy nest through his repair ability.
No matter how the king insect attacked him, Xue Lihong only touched its wound and inserted several tentacles into the king insect's body.
The king insect panicked and finally realized that it was in trouble. It wanted to run away and get rid of Xue Lihong, but how could Xue Lihong let it run away
No matter how hard the king insect struggled, Xue Lihong always clung to it.
Cheng Zai drove the base vehicle and originally wanted to shoot out the steel mesh to retrieve Xue Lihong, but he was temporarily instructed not to do anything.
A quarter of an hour later, the king insect jumped out of the water with the large parasite on it, and then fell heavily back into the river.
This scene happened to be seen by some people on the bank who were preparing to cross the river, and photos were taken. It just happened so fast that the photos that could be taken were not very clear.
Half an hour later, the body of the king insect began to shrink, and it was no longer able to spray out the daughter insects, and it was unable to make any more attacks.
An hour later, the king insect's body turned into a piece of skin.
Xue Lihong returned to her human form, holding Xiao Mo with one hand and dragging Chongpi with the other as she swam toward the base vehicle.
Cheng Zai rushed over as soon as he saw the battle was over.
Xiao Mo's portable oxygen mask had been discarded after use, and all his oxygen at this time was supplied by Xuelihong.
A tentacle stretched out from Xue Lihong's chest and plunged into his mouth without allowing him to refuse.
Xiao Mo was startled at first and felt a little nauseous, but later he discovered that the tentacle was delivering oxygen to him, so he accepted it silently - in a state of hypoxia, as long as he can breathe, who cares whether the thing in his mouth looks good or not
After entering the base vehicle, Xue Lihong retracted her tentacles.
Cheng Zai was stunned when he saw Xue Lihong, and even blushed inexplicably.
Xue Lihong raised her eyebrows, "Why are you blocking the door?"
Cheng Zai said "Ah" and jumped back two steps like a big rabbit, "Brother Xue, haha, Brother Xue, do you want some clothes?"
Xue Lihong, who was completely naked due to a fight and deformation that caused her clothes to be completely destroyed, said: "Children, go aside and play."
Xiao Mo smiled sullenly. His Xiaohong's aura is simply invincible. Even if she is completely naked, she is still patrolling like a king.
Because the visibility in the river was low, and Cheng Zai didn't dare to follow too closely, he didn't see Xue Lihong's transformation. He could only vaguely see some extremely blurry images on the screen. He didn't know if there was something wrong with the camera. Because of this, any shot of Xue Lihong looks extremely blurry, and only a human figure can be seen.
But Xue Lihong, who was able to kill the King Insect and take off other people's skin, was already extremely powerful in Cheng Zai's eyes. He looked at Xue Lihong in awe, as if he wanted to make a few jokes, but looking at that picture Face, when the words came to my lips, they became: "Brother Xue, you are so cool, handsome and awesome!"
Xue Lihong didn't understand what was wrong with the child. Could it be that seeing his insect body was stimulated? But it doesn’t look like it.
Xue Lihong casually threw the insect skin to Cheng Zai's feet, and simply picked up the exhausted Xiao Mo, "Do you know how to make clothes? If you don't know how to learn, you and Yuan Yuan can make this insect skin into personal inner armor for the team in the future. There’s one piece for each person inside.”
Cheng Zai was dumbfounded, "Huh?"
At this time, Cheng Zai didn't know how valuable this insect skin was. He was just worried that he didn't know how to tailor.
Xiao Mo raised his hand weakly, "I know a little bit. But what kind of scissors can I use to cut this insect skin?"
Xue Lihong also had a headache. The insect's skin was not easy to tear open even with his claws. He only attacked the weak points. Later, he directly destroyed its energy nest from the inside and absorbed all its essence before killing this king insect.
The system spoke reservedly: "As long as you can complete task 04 within the specified time limit, it will be the first time you have completed three consecutive victories. Three consecutive victories can give special rewards, and the option of a universal tailoring machine can appear in the rewards. This universal tailoring machine It is currently one of the most popular portable tools for interstellar mercenaries. It can cut and mend a variety of materials anytime and anywhere, and can complete the production of clothing, pants, shoes, socks, helmets, armor, scarves, masks and other garments according to the procedures. The forms are diverse and can also be made by The owner designs the look himself.”
Xiao Mo doubted his ears. When did the system become so considerate? However, he did not dare to think so hard. He first expressed his deep gratitude to His Majesty the System, and then asked: "Can this universal tailoring machine even cut and sew the skin of this king insect?"
"Of course, otherwise how can it be called universal? And what I provide is the sixth-generation universal sewing machine, which can handle all materials below nine. If we follow the earth's classification of raw material hardness, it can handle all materials with a hardness below ninety, like diamonds. It can be worn as a string of beads.”
"This thing must be expensive, right?" Xiao Mo subconsciously thought so.
Your Majesty the System, "Yes, ordinary interstellar mercenaries cannot afford it. You are lucky. There happens to be such a finished product in the breeder system I absorbed this time. If this universal tailoring machine was originally in my warehouse, Then you need to be above level seven and make special contributions to get it. But now it belongs to our additional income, and I can put it as a special reward into the reward options of special tasks, such as three consecutive wins."
Three wins in a row? Xiao Mo felt like he was participating in a competitive competition, but when there were competitors and enemies, and he could advance if he defeated them, it was indeed the same as competitive competition, but the nature was more dangerous. Failure to finish would not mean withdrawal but death.
Afterwards, Cheng Zai drove back to the shore to find other team members.
Xue Lihong carried Xiao Mo back to her room, took a shower and changed clothes.
Xiao Mo lay in the bathtub and relayed everything the system told him to Xue Lihong.
After hearing this, Xue Lihong, who was washing her hair, said to him with a head of foam on her head: "Your Majesty also hinted at something about your system."
"What is it?" Xiao Mo slowly absorbed the energy crystal to regain his strength.
"The manipulators behind the scenes are encouraging recyclers and breeders to fight each other and seize each other's systems. If they were just on opposite sides at the beginning, now they also have the possibility of losing treasures. Ask your majesty if systems of the same nature are also Can we fight and absorb each other?”
His Majesty the System was silent for a while and only answered one word: "Yes."
Xiao Mo rubbed his forehead, "So from now on I not only have to guard against the breeders, but also the recyclers?"
"I always feel that it's more than that." Xue Lihong felt that there was a layer of gauze in front of her eyes, as if she could see the true face of Lushan Mountain just by lifting it up. "Don't you think the rewards the system can provide are great? Although there is no spaceship or anything like that. Tools that can leave the earth, but things like large space storage tools and this kind of universal tailoring machine... You said before that the system can provide a night-eye detector, right? These things are the most popular among soldiers, adventurers and mercenaries. My favorite item. Just now did the system mention the term interstellar mercenary?"
The system feels a little regretful. This big bastard is so annoying. A little bit of information can analyze a lot! In fact, none of these things should be taken out now. If the normal upgrade process is followed, reaching level five will only open up fifteen cubic meters of mental space. The three-thousand-cubic-meter space storage device it gave out that could be used as a prison was actually very dangerous, and it didn't even dare to pass this information back.
Well, the information it sent back has been edited and deleted multiple times since it devoured the second feeder system. Although the content inside is not false at all, but... the content seen from different angles is completely different.
Wait, it shouldn't feel regretful. The system felt uncomfortable again and immediately started self-checking again.
After listening to Xue Lihong's analysis, Xiao Mo concluded: "I am a businessman. If I want to invest 100, I will be very happy if I can earn 200. But if I want to invest 1 million, then what I want to get is definitely not 200." Ten thousand can be enough. In the same way, the bigger the investment, the more we hope to get. Or is our live broadcast more valuable? Those behind the scenes hope that our performance can be more exciting and not die so quickly and easily? Just Like a big-budget movie where a lot of money is invested in pre-production and post-production?”
Xue Lihong rinsed her hair, stepped into the bathtub, and sat opposite Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo shyly retracted his legs to cover his important parts.
Xue Lihong grabbed his feet and pulled him towards her.
Xiao Mo quickly grabbed both sides of the bathtub with both hands, "Hey!"
Xue Lihong took the initiative to move her body and forced him to the edge of the bathtub.
Since Xiao Mo decided to live for Xue Lihong, he no longer objected to sleeping with her, but was his current posture a bit too shameful
Xiao Mo wanted to put his legs together, but there was a big man sitting between his legs. When he wanted to put his legs together, he pinched the other person's waist...
Xue Lihong stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hold him on her lap and sit on her.
Xiao Mo was shocked. This posture was too challenging for him. He quickly reached out and put his hand on his chest, "Huh? You..."
Xiao Mo raised his head in surprise. Because he was so familiar, he rarely looked at this person carefully.
But today, the feeling of his hand was wrong. There seemed to be a little muscle under Xiaohong's skin. After careful inspection, I found that the young man's face and body were no longer as thin as a tuberculosis ghost.
It seems that the king insect is very helpful to Xiaohong? No wonder Cheng Zai reacted like that just now. Without him, Xiaohong, who had a little muscle padding on his face, finally showed off all the advantages of his appearance.
Contrary to Xue Lihong's usual ability to hide herself, his appearance is so handsome that it is full of aggression, the kind that makes you feel your eyes and heart are immediately conquered when you look at him.
"What's wrong?" Xue Lihong's hand touched his arm and rubbed it ambiguously repeatedly.
Xiao Mo only felt that the skin was like electricity. The electricity made his toes shrink, "No, it's nothing. I just think you look better."
"Really?" The young man's voice became low and seductive.
Xiao Mo stared at the young man's face and swallowed. This is also an evolution, right? Just like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, an ugly duckling turns into a swan. If Xue Lihong's body is a bug, then is the human form his second metamorphosis, or is it mimicry? No matter what it is, this person is very good at arming himself with his appearance.
"It's not about being armed. Most of the male's gorgeous appearance is to attract a mate. Dear boss, are you satisfied with what you see?" Xue Lihong showed a little naughty smile.
Xiao Mo's heart was beating like a drum, and his face was burning.
Xue Lihong's hand touched his face, possessed him, and whispered: "Want to see the other me?"
Xiao Mo didn't know if he nodded or not. He just felt that he was completely stupid.
Xue Lihong stepped back a little, his eyes closed slightly, and his expression seemed a little painful. He bent down slightly, and eight tentacles with a texture like black gold suddenly burst out from behind his body.
"It hurts a bit, boss, please touch me." Xue Lihong's voice was hoarse, and she took his hand and put it on her back, as if coquettishly.
As if being charmed, Xiao Mo stupidly stretched out his hand to touch the tentacles on his back.
Xue Lihong opened her eyes. The color of his eyes was a little abnormal. They seemed to have double pupils, and the innermost pupils were very dark.
"This is an incomplete change. My genes are not completely stable yet, but I can already change part of my body freely. This is my weapon, and there will be more in the future. Boss, are you afraid of me?"
Xue Lihong opened her mouth, and the structure inside was horrifying. The mouthpart that had stamped Xiao Mo's mouth shot out again. This time it rubbed against Xiao Mo's little nub, and then retracted reluctantly.
Xue Lihong shut up and opened her mouth again and returned to "normal". "I don't like this preparation, but I thought that besides sneaking up on enemies, it can also do other things..."
The young man's voice became lower, but Xiao Mo's face became increasingly red, and his whole body looked like a cooked crab.
"Boss, I'm ugly and terrible. Do you want to break up with me? Come on, speak out boldly and tell me your truest thoughts."
No, you are not ugly at all. You can simply charm any human being you want to charm. Your appearance is your best weapon.
"If I want to break up with you..." Xiao Mo suddenly started to joke a little bit, mainly because the young man pushed him too hard and he desperately needed some breathing space.
Xue Lihong's face immediately changed, "Oh, you want to break up with me, right? You're such a bad boss, how can you have such an idea? It seems that I usually don't educate you enough. Let's go to class again. , this class is called One Hundred Postures on How to Retain Good Employees.”
Xiao Mo squirted without being coquettish, and couldn't help laughing anymore, "Xiaohong, please spare me! Don't use your dead face to say such things, it's so inappropriate. Wow! What are you doing?" "
"Help you take a bath." The young fan said seriously: "Boss, the river water is very dirty. It's not enough to just wash the surface. You have to clean the inside of the body as well. And that big bug sprayed out so many small bugs, if there is one What do you do if two of them get into your body? I'll check them carefully for you, so don't move around, be good."
Be good! Even if I decide to be with you, no matter who you are. But it doesn’t mean that I can accept these “*”s that are beyond the acceptable range of normal people!
Your Majesty, the system who is halfway through the self-examination: You have chosen a big insect hybrid as your partner, and you still want to have sex like a normal person? You are no longer a human being, how can you be a normal person? How naive!
After that, Cheng Zai went ashore to pick up Wang Cheng and Qian Yunkai, and then went back to pick up the two young children and Lao Wu and his wife.
Lei Bing asked for details, but Cheng Zai always said he didn't know. Asked where Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong were, Cheng Zai only said that the captain and deputy captain were tired and were resting.
So Lei Bing held back a lot of questions and didn't see Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong until he was almost back at Zhongshan Base.
Xiao Mo's whole body was weak at that time, let alone his legs. This is really not something that can be repaired by self-repair. Physical strength is definitely the biggest problem.
Xue Lihong only said that she had solved a monster and said nothing else. Seeing that Lei Bing couldn't ask anything, he had no choice but to go back and deliver the errand first.
At the other end, the hooded man who had been given the task of hunting the King of Corpse Dragon Insects took an electronic map-like thing to the largest pier near the outlet of the river, which was also a deep-water port.
A huge five-story cruise ship was docked at the pier. It was a deep-sea cruise ship. It was probably docked here to replenish supplies.
But at this time, the cruise ship was deserted, there was no one around, and no one was coming or going on the dock. The entire dock and cruise ship were like a dead place.
The hooded man walked onto the cruise ship and circled around, looking at the electronic map on the first floor platform and frowning, "I spent fifty thousand star coins to buy this monster distribution map, but the corpse-eating dragon insect king insect here is Woolen cloth?"
"Gooji."
"Run away? It's possible. Do you think it will run to the shore or into the water?"
"Gooji."
"You detected it. Is it in the water? Upstream? Well, let's follow the river and search upstream." The hooded man put away the electronic map, looked up at the sky, and murmured: "The last storm It's coming soon, I hope I can hunt the corpse-eating dragon king insect before the storm comes, and then find the No. 07 recycler through the king insect."
"Goojigji."
"Well, I know, I will leave the amusement park before the big storm. When I come back then, this earth's amusement park will not be what it is now."
The Earthlings, including the members of the scavenging team, who knew nothing about anything, felt a little relaxed when they saw the base in front of them.
Wang Cheng and Qian Yunkai were learning from the two children in the living room how to use the operation panel to fight monsters.
The two men began to faint soon after getting in the car. They fainted from the living room to the dormitory area and back again.
Both of them celebrated with both hands and feet as they had the courage to board the pirate ship. They had already thought that the base vehicle would be magical, but to this extent? This is science fiction turned into reality!
Wang Cheng and Qian Yunkai's dormitories are separate. Wang Cheng doesn't have high requirements for the dormitory, as long as he can sleep. Qian Yunkai, on the other hand, walked around excitedly and asked if he could open up another space for his laboratory. Xue Lihong asked the whole team to vote and agreed.
"The weather is not right." Xiao Mo muttered.
Xue Lihong looked at the thermometer and saw that the outdoor temperature had reached thirty-eight degrees. This was the beginning of November!
"The temperature difference between day and night is too big, and the temperature at night is as low as below zero. This winter will not be easy." Xue Lihong repeated again.
Wang Cheng also came over and said that the base was looking for people to get winter supplies such as cotton and coal during this period.
The vehicle suddenly made a big turn. Everyone in the vehicle was already used to it. The base vehicle drove smoothly on its own, the speed was not fast, and it could respond promptly to any road conditions.
Due to the aftermath of the earthquake, most of the roads were damaged and unable to be repaired later, so the road back to the base was not easy. This difficulty in walking does not only refer to road problems.
But after all, this place is not far from the base. You can still see dense crops on both sides of the road. It is not as dangerous as the real suburbs, nor as dangerous as the completely destroyed city. As long as you are careful and avoid a few time periods, you can still go back and forth safely.
The danger is minimal at noon, so although it is extremely hot, you can still see some farmers working in the fields, and you can also see pedestrians and vehicles on the road.
Not everyone is willing to live on the base, especially those who have farmland at home. Probably due to the influence of the ancient Chinese idea of "having fields in your hands, don't panic in your heart", people who have relied on the land for their whole life are unwilling to give up their fields unless they have to, even if they are in danger.
These people farming here are also protected by the base to a certain extent. Although the army cannot be stationed around permanently, regular patrols will give them a certain sense of security. At the same time, the base also promises that they will not forcibly acquire their fields and houses. etc., allowing them to be self-sufficient as long as they pay a certain food tax.
For any village that is willing to pay the food tax, the base will provide various protections so that they can have an organization to rely on whenever they need it.
For villages that are unwilling to pay food taxes, the base allows them to exchange food, vegetables, oil, etc. with the base for daily necessities, but if something happens to them, they need to use the food themselves and hire mercenaries to solve it.
Xiao Mo saw a convoy of nearby farmers patrolling the nearby fields with hoes, sickles and other weapons.
This escort not only protects against beasts and insects, but also people!
There were people fleeing on the road, some had cars, but more people were walking on foot. The temperature was extremely high, and many people were about to suffer from heatstroke while walking, but this was the safest time.
There are canals for irrigation beside the crop fields. There is water in the canals, but no one dares to drink the water in the canals, even if they are so thirsty that their lips will peel.
Some people wanted to ask for clean water from farmers or escorts, but the escorts forced them to retreat and leave with knives and hoes.
It's not the harvest season yet, but around the harvest period, not only the village guards will come out to guard the farmland, but even the base will send troops to protect it.
"Ahem, captain, deputy team, get to the base soon, there are more and more people in front of you." Cheng Zai warned.
Pedestrians looked at the vehicles passing along the road with longing eyes. Many people stopped in the middle of the road, hoping to stop one or two cars so they could take them a ride.
No car dared to stop, especially when seeing so many pedestrians.
In the past, there were some kind-hearted people who would park their cars and take people away, but as more and more car snatchings, killings, and water and food incidents occurred, people's hearts became harder and harder.
Someone blocked the road again, this time an old man. The old man was kneeling in the middle of the road, holding a child in his arms. He bent over and knocked his head on the ground.
Any team member who has experienced the incident where the survivors blocked the car at the steel plant base will be a little tired of this scene.
Xue Lihong honked the horn twice.
The old man raised his head but refused to give in.
Xiao Mo straightened his back with complicated eyes.
Xue Lihong stepped on the accelerator and accelerated, and the vehicle rushed towards the old man like flying.
The old man's face changed dramatically. He might have wanted to persist, to see if the other person really dared to hit him, but his body reacted before the danger came. The vehicle was still some distance away from him, and he was so scared that he hugged him. He rolled the child to the side.
The red steering wheel in the snow turned and passed by the old man lying on the ground. He could lift the car and walk, but he was approaching the base and there were many people on the road. If he did this, it would attract too much attention. And by scaring them in this way, other people with the same intention will not dare to block their way again.
The old man's face turned pale with fright. He waited for the vehicle to pass far away before he realized what he was saying and cursed at the vehicle.
The child in his arms was also frightened before, and he began to cry until now, but the cry was small and had no strength.
A plastic bag fell from the sky and fell into the old man's arms.
The old man's scolding stopped abruptly. He looked around hurriedly and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he quickly opened the plastic bag. When he saw that there was a circle of bandages, a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao spray, a plate of cold medicine, two large white steamed buns and a bottle of spring water. , the old man’s eyes suddenly turned red.
"I'm sorry, thank you!" No one wants to do such a scandalous thing blocking the road, and they are all forced. My grandson will not be able to endure it if he doesn't have anything to eat!
The old man didn't care about himself and hid in the grass as tall as a person. He first fed mineral water and steamed buns to his little grandson in his arms. After he was full, he ate a little.
"Ta." Xiao Mo heard the sound of Chang'e landing on the roof of the car and asked her through the communicator: "Are you tired? Do you want to get in the car and rest?"
Chang'e refused: "No, I can keep up with you. Hey, don't let me do such good things again, annoying!"
Xiao Mo chuckled, "Thank you for your hard work. We are about to enter the base. Have you decided what to do?"
"Let's take a look first." Chang'e said she was not in a hurry. Her abilities allow her to protect herself even outside, and she does not necessarily have to live in the base. Besides, she doesn't really want to get close to people right now.
"Don't let your son worry." Xiao Mo simply consoled her. He never dared to force Chang'e, a strong woman. Cheng Zai asked her if she wanted to join the scavenging team, but Ms. Chang'e had no intention of doing so. She said that she didn't like to be controlled by others and that this free life was more suitable for her.
Chang'e replied "I know" and flew away again.
On that day, many refugees outside the Zhongshan base who were on their way but lacked water and medicine received gifts falling from the sky.
Most of these refugees did not dare to say anything about the gifts they received. They hurriedly ate or hid them after thanking them in a low voice. This kind of good thing from heaven also gave these refugees a little more confidence in the Zhongshan Base.
