Chapter 265 Finding Wealth in Danger
Chapter 265 Finding Wealth in Danger
The lunch boxes on site were steaming hot. Lu Lanxuan brought me a box and asked me to eat first.
I opened it and saw that there was actually rice inside, and there was also fresh fish! I couldn't help but sigh to Lu Lanxuan: "Your food is good!"
Lu Lanxuan smiled embarrassedly and told me that before the extreme cold came, they caught a lot of fish and stored them according to the order issued by Secretary Gao, so they have been eating the stored fish. Moreover, they have not been idle during this period. Many volunteers have gone to the nearby Shengbin River to fish. When it is cold, fish are easier to store, so most of the food now is rice with fish.
The saying "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water" is probably the same principle.
I nodded and thought to myself that Secretary Gao is indeed a good and pragmatic leader.
At this time, Lu Lanxuan said to me with a worried look on his face that due to the zombies these days, it was temporarily impossible to send people out to fish, so we had to wait for friendly troops to arrive and eliminate the zombies before we could go out fishing.
I sneered at these zombies, they are all high-level mutants. Even if your third or fourth level mutants come, they will be of no use.
Although I thought so, I didn't say it out loud. I didn't want to attack this guy for the time being. Looking at the lunch box in my hand, I was indeed hungry after working so hard. I took a bite. Alas, the fish stewed in the big pot could only fill me up. It was too fishy and bland, not delicious. I thought to myself, is there no salt in such a large base?
If I had known this, why would I have wasted a box of lunch? It would be better to give it to the hungry people. I can go home and eat my own food.
Seeing that I hadn’t moved my chopsticks for a long time, Lu Lanxuan asked me curiously, “Why doesn’t my brother suit your taste?”
I looked up at him and asked, "Can you eat one box of lunch?" Then I handed him the lunch box in my hand and told him that I only added a piece of fish and didn't eat anything else. If you don't mind, you can have it.
He happily took my lunch box only after he was sure that I really couldn't eat anymore. For a boy of his age, one lunch box was really not enough.
Seeing him wolfing down the food, I couldn't help but feel sad. I took out a box of Snickers from my space and secretly stuffed it into his hand, telling him that this was a snack I gave him and not to tell anyone else, just eat it yourself.
Then I jumped into the pit and walked around, then used my ice ability to cut the ice below into a size that was just big enough for two people to carry. I estimated that they would not be able to finish the work in a day or two, so I couldn't bear it and took away a huge block of ice that blocked a place that others couldn't see. Then I walked up the steps, said hello to Ding Shaoxi who was also sitting there eating, and said I was going back to rest, you guys take your time.
Ding Shaoxi was stunned at first. She didn't expect that I would take a half-day break. She put down the lunch box in her hand with dissatisfaction, stood up and shouted at me: "How can you work half a day and rest half a day like this? Don't you know how much the leaders value this work?"
She brought out the leader of their base to pressure me? I won't indulge her. I retorted: "First of all, your leader is not my leader. Besides, I have cooperated with the work. Do you know how much energy I spent cutting these ice blocks this morning? If I don't go back to rest, you won't see me tomorrow. Then even if you clean up these ice blocks, I won't have the energy to do the next work."
After saying this, I didn't continue talking to her. I just missed her body and was about to leave.
She kept trying to grab my clothes.
I instantly formed an ice wall between us and blocked her hand inside the ice wall.
All that was heard was Ding Shaoxi screaming in pain.
He took out a small electric bike from the space, quickly got on it, and rode away from the construction site without looking back.
Actually, I was anxious to go and see the two brothers Chen Si and Chen Zhen.
I found the small apartment they had bought before. The two brothers were now dressed warmly, there was a fire burning in the room, and they were happily reading books while eating the snacks and rice bowls I left for them.
Ask them if Brother Chen hasn’t come back yet?
They told me that their father was busy all day and might not come back.
I took out a durian and some snacks from my space supermarket and told them to eat them at home, and not to think about giving them to others. There are no good people out there.
Then I’m going to see what Brother Chen is doing.
I rode the electric bike quite fast, because the ground in their factory was cleaned up quite well. In a short while, I arrived at the bunker where Jingjing and the other superpowers were yesterday. I looked up and saw Jingjing was still there, but there was an extra heavy machine gun on the bunker today, and the machine gunner was firing bullets at the zombies attacking from below.
I stopped the car and shouted, "Jingjing, it's me."
Jingjing looked at me and waved her hand enthusiastically, inviting me to come up.
No soldier below stopped me, so I went up excitedly and came to Jingjing. I turned around but didn't see Brother Chen. Jingjing said that Brother Chen had gone to patrol other places.
After chatting with Jingjing for a while, I stood at a high place and saw that the zombies outside the wall were still surging and trying to push down the wall and climb up. The scene was still very disgusting.
At this time, the heavy machine gun beside him was effectively fighting the zombies' attacks.
Jingjing noticed that I showed great interest in the heavy machine gun in front of me, and immediately introduced it to me enthusiastically: "Look here, this is the famous Browning M2 heavy machine gun! Its power should not be underestimated! Its firepower is beyond imagination, and it can burst out amazing lethality in an instant; and its range is extremely long, and it can easily hit targets at long distances. With such powerful performance, it can effectively launch a fierce attack on a group of targets within a certain distance, leaving the enemy nowhere to hide!"
As Jingjing was explaining to me, she seemed to be emitting a dazzling light. Her originally inconspicuous appearance suddenly became brighter, her firm eyes flashed with love and familiarity with weapons, and every movement and expression was full of confidence and courage.
Looking at her like this, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, maybe this girl is a natural fighter! Suddenly I thought of Bai Aoyu, where is Aoyu now and what is he doing? Is he in danger? Is there a chance to meet again...
Suddenly Jingjing pushed me with her fist and asked with a smile: "Why, who are you thinking about?"
I couldn't help but change the subject guiltily and asked her, "How about you, do you think you can defend this base?"
Jingjing pursed her lips, sighed and answered me, saying that it depends on when the reinforcements will arrive.
At this moment, it was discovered that the zombies had stopped moving and were running backwards in a swarm.
We didn't understand why and looked in the direction the zombies were running from afar.
Finally, we heard the huge roar of the plane's propellers and saw the distant and tiny shadow of the plane appearing in the sky.
"Ah! Those are reinforcements. They must be reinforcements." Jingjing shouted as she rushed down the bunker to report to the leaders.
At this time, the soldiers around us also stopped attacking with their weapons and stood in place waiting for instructions.
But when I looked at the zombie corpses lying on the ground like a pile of corpses outside the city wall, I suddenly thought of something else. That is, there should be a lot of crystal cores with so many zombies. You know, there are a lot of third- and fourth-level zombies dead here. This level of crystal core can be exchanged for a lot of supplies in the market. If the second level can be exchanged for 1000 first-level crystal cores, then this is a huge fortune!
I can't give up this wealth, I have to pick it up! But I have to be quick, because the plane is flying towards the base, and the zombies will chase it back in a moment. Now no one in the base dares to go out and rob me, so this wealth can only be obtained by me.
Thinking of this, I passed through the wall and arrived at the pile of zombie corpses outside the base. I took out a knife that was convenient for me, dug open the zombies' heads, and picked up the crystal cores in their brains one by one.
Second-level, third-level, fourth-level, I was just like Alibaba who had discovered a mysterious treasure house with endless wealth! At that moment, my heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to burst through my chest.
Suddenly someone on the city wall called me, "Hey! What are you doing?"
I quickly turned around and waved to the soldiers on the wall, "It's me, don't shoot."
The soldiers who stayed behind were all confused and kept shouting, "It's so dangerous in there, but how did you get out?" They couldn't figure out how I managed to run outside the city wall in an instant.
After picking up a large batch of crystal cores, I didn't know how many there were. I just saw the planes in the sky flying straight towards the base, and the zombies that had just run away also ran towards me one after another, each one like a demon that wanted to tear me apart.
I quickly dodged again and rushed back into the base.
It is true that wealth and honor are achieved through risk!
