Chapter 12 - Fate
Lu Chengming had already stabbed the treasure knife into the giant spider's body, stirring up its central nerves and internal organs.
The reason why I lie down is mainly because I want to observe Xu Zihao's actions.
At present, this person is brave and loyal, and is a useful person.
The biggest problem seems to be the crow's mouth...
Lu Chengming pushed away the giant spider's corpse and got up from the ground.
"I have to brush my robe when I go back..." The battle robe was covered with green insect blood, but he had long been accustomed to it.
Xu Zihao couldn't help but speak again: "Brother, isn't this spider poisonous? You won't be poisoned, right?"
"Shut up!" Lu Chengming glared at Xu Zihao.
Xu Zihao quickly stopped the sound.
The giant spider's claws cannot pierce the battle robe, so Lu Chengming will naturally not be poisoned.
Even if he was poisoned, he knew how to detoxify.
He was just worried about being cursed by Xu Zihao's crow's mouth.
"Be careful, I'll go up and take a look."
Lu Chengming flew over the city wall, entered the enemy building and searched, and confirmed that there was no more threat inside.
This two-story enemy building is a good ground residence, but it still needs to be renovated.
The next plan is to clear the trees near the city walls and reclaim wasteland.
In order to prevent Zerg invasion, repellent plants must be planted, fences and insect-proof nets must be made.
This project is not small, it takes a lot of time and manpower.
Fortunately, they have magic weapons from the Daxia civilization.
"Your mission today is to cut down trees." Lu Chengming assigned a task for Xu Zihao, and at the same time demonstrated himself, "First cut out two triangle gaps, and slow down the last few times, pay attention to the direction of the trees' tilt... You can only cut down small trees, keep the very thick trees for the time being, and count as much as you can."
"No wonder my brother used it for me..." Xu Zihao muttered and went to cut down the tree obediently.
Although he had no experience in logging, he was not struggling to cut with an extremely sharp axe.
Primitive humans cultivated forest land in this way and then burned trees as fertilizer, which is the so-called "slash-and-burn planting".
However, Lu Chengming planned to keep the wood to make props such as fences.
There are a lot of books about carpentry in his study.
Xu Zihao asked while cutting down the trees: "Brother, why don't we return to the city to develop?"
"City?" Lu Chengming chuckled, "I will take you back to see if you have time. The city has long become a primitive jungle and a Zerg paradise, and it is not as good as ours."
In hundreds of years, it is enough for wild animals and plants to regain their territory.
The houses built by humans are the perfect nests that many large insects like the most.
Cut for a while and rest for a while.
During the break, Lu Chengming took out his cell phone and continued to observe the situation.
The signal strength of the bunker network is limited, and the distance is only one kilometer, so the signal is reduced by one square.
There was not much new news in the chat group, and everyone calmed down a lot compared to the first day.
Turn on the search function again and try to search for nearby Doomsday mobile phone users.
Lu Chengming can be invisible, he can search others, but others can't search him.
After a moment, multiple IDs appear in the [People Nearby] list.
Among them, there is actually [Qianyihe].
No, so destined?
Since there is no satellite communication, the mobile phone system can only display the approximate location and distance of the other party:
Northwest direction, about 2.5 kilometers.
Obviously not inside the bunker, but moving in the wild.
Lu Chengming hesitated for a while and decided to go over and take a look, "Xu Zihao, I found strangers nearby, let's go over and take a look."
"Okay!" Xu Zihao might also find it boring to cut down trees and agreed very readily.
According to the instructions of the mobile phone, Lu Chengming traveled through the jungle and advanced northwest.
"Qianyihe" seems to be walking toward the south, and the two sides are getting closer and closer.
Finally, on a grassy field in the forest, Lu Chengming saw a group of five people, four men and one woman.
That girl, tall, long hair shawl, tapered face, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, looks so familiar...
It’s really ex-girlfriend Jiang Ying!
Lu Chengming was stunned on the spot, not hiding himself at all.
The other party soon discovered Lu Chengming and Xu Zihao. The four men alertly raised the daggers, iron sticks and other weapons in their hands.
Jiang Ying was also shocked when she recognized Lu Chengming.
Except for Jiang Ying, everyone else's attention was all focused on Xu Zihao, who was wearing helmets and armor, holding an axe in his hand, and shining silver all over his body.
Although the other party had four men, he had to be afraid when facing the fully armed Xu Zihao.
"Jiang Ying... Why did you appear here?" Lu Chengming spoke first, keeping his tone calm.
When the four men found out that the other party knew Jiang Ying, they were shocked.
"I...we are going to the 017 bunker and surrender to Liu Bei..." Jiang Ying finally came to her senses and was a little nervous.
It turned out that he was fooled by "Liu Bei".
Lu Chengming frowned and asked again: "You took the dormancy test? Why?"
"I, my boyfriend... Duan Ronghua asked me to participate..." Jiang Ying turned her head and looked at the white man with big hair beside her.
This guy is the rich second generation who is more "matched" with Jiang Ying?
He looks upright and has a little bit of arrogance in his eyes, so I can't see too much for the time being...
Lu Chengming glanced at Duan Ronghua and his emotions were calm.
When Jiang Ying proposed to break up, the reason was that Lu Chengming's family was average and the gap between the two sides was quite large, so his parents disagreed.
"Jiang Ying, who is this?" Duan Ronghua asked on his own initiative.
"He, his name is Lu Chengming, my college classmate..." Jiang Ying introduced this.
"It turns out to be an old classmate, I'm lucky to meet you." Duan Ronghua asked again with a smile: "What about this armored warrior?"
Before Lu Chengming could speak, Xu Zihao rushed to answer: "Xu Zihao!"
His voice is loud and he is very domineering.
"You two are also going to the 017 bunker. Why don't we go with each other?" Duan Ronghua made suggestions based on his guess.
"We won't go." Lu Chengming said the truth, "Liu Bei's side is not reliable, so there is no need to go there."
"Ah?" Duan Ronghua was stunned, "Why?"
Lu Chengming briefly explained: "The guns are useless and cannot protect everyone's safety."
Xu Zihao echoed: "That's right!"
"The guns are useless? Then what's useful?" Duan Ronghua's tone changed slightly, obviously not believing it.
Lu Chengming turned his head and looked at Xu Zihao and whispered: "Let me demonstrate it to them."
Xu Zihao understood, so he looked around, selected a small tree as thick as a thigh, walked over, and swung an axe with all his strength.
Click!
The tree trunk broke with the sound!
Everyone was shocked and stunned.
Although the axe is not a long-range weapon, the lethality of this axe is completely exaggerated by ordinary guns and kills insects.
Lu Chengming said again: "Liu Bei is really unreliable, and it is still far from 017. It is difficult for you to arrive before dark. I suggest you give up."
"Then, where can we go?" Duan Ronghua had been exhausted and understood that he could not achieve his expected goals.
They overestimated themselves, and only after practicing them did they realize that the speed of traveling in the jungle was far lower than they imagined.
But I had been risking my life for a whole morning and was unwilling to give up and return.
Lu Chengming didn't talk to him, just looked at Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Can we... go to your bunker first... take a rest for the time being?"
Lu Chengming still did not answer, but turned to look at Xu Zihao, and said in a very low voice: "Don't call me brother anymore, pretend you have the final say... I will give you a condition first and make things difficult for them..."
"Ah?" Xu Zihao was stunned for a moment, and then felt that Lu Chengming should not accept this group of people, and was embarrassed to refuse in person?
He thought for a while and said, "Well——There is a condition, I want that woman!"
Chapter completed!
