Chapter 100 The Dry Season
Entering the base, there were swearing and crying everywhere, and some people yelled and smashed the house to vent.
The calmer ones also stood there numbly, as if they had lost their souls, as if they had lost all hope.
Even the people in the patrol team and even the various departments have not received any news. They are now pale, looking at the colleagues around them in disbelief, as if they don't know what to do.
If there is any department that knows the inside story, it is probably the logistics department, so the employees of this department have already gone to the warehouse to set up a defense line, and the employees of other departments are more or less unable to accept such things. The performance is a little better than the people in the residential area.
Su Qing and Qi Jiang passed through the main road quickly, and met a group of people who ran out of the residential area with a guy on the road, rushing towards the management area with red eyes and clamoring all the way.
"Don't go there yet." Qi Jiang pulled Su Qing behind him, walked slowly to the corner and stood up.
Crazy crowds roared past. The management area seemed to have been notified. Most people gathered here in advance and pulled up defenses to prevent the crowd from moving forward. However, because the bomb was too powerful, nearly half of the people still did not react. Nothing.
"Calm down! Everyone, please calm down!"
"Get in! We're going to the warehouse!"
"Calm down! Everyone calm down!"
"We're going to the warehouse!"
One side was rational and didn't want to hurt others, while the other side was almost irrational. No matter what the reason was, they rushed towards the warehouse with red eyes and injured several people.
The line of defense retreated steadily, and Master Han's voice on the loudspeaker suddenly stopped. Qi Jiang raised his head and looked at the person who was slowly coming out with a loudspeaker in the night.
"Everyone be quiet!" Teacher Han's voice was a little hoarse. He walked to the front of the crowd and found a higher step to stand on.
The crowd slowly quieted down, everyone looked up at him, and in other places in the base, people under the loudspeakers also quickly moved closer to this side when they heard the sound.
"Get out first." Qi Jiang pulled Su Qing back again, if the situation got out of control, they would not be affected.
Feeling blessed, Su Qing suddenly chuckled and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that someone will mention us later."
"Is it because of the public opinion from the previous two days?" Qi Jiang lowered his eyes, his little finger hooked Su Qing's little finger to play, his movements were very unserious, but his tone was very serious, "Then it seems that we are going to play later."
"I can't help it, there are too many people who can't figure it out." Su Qing was really tired of the words Sheng Mien Dou Michou.
Even if there are only a few people who can't figure it out, some of their complaints will always make people speechless. Every time they hear it, Su Qing will be more grateful that he moved out.
"Then I'll come later." Qi Jiang was afraid that Su Qing's heart would soften.
"Let me do it." Su Qing curled her lips lightly, watching the crowd below getting more and more annoying, and looking at Teacher Han, it felt like seeing another of them, completely taken advantage of.
"Didn't it mean that I am popular? Then let everyone understand that we are just neighbors. Even if Mr. Han asks us to do something, we have to pay for it."
In this way, irrelevant people can completely cut off those thoughts that should not be had, and when people are honest, they will know how to respect others.
Although a group of people will be killed with a stick at that time, who would want to eat a pot of porridge with a lot of rat droppings?
Anyway, Su Qing didn't want to, and neither did Qi Jiang.
When they were talking, most of the people at the base had arrived, and Su Qing and Qi Jiang also gradually retreated to a place far outside. Later, in order to facilitate their own onlookers, they quietly flew to a high place to hide.
The people in front felt dissatisfied with the time being too long, so Mr. Han asked everyone to be calm and not to be impatient, and wait until everyone is almost together before speaking.
At the same time, Tan Yilong and others quietly came around the crowd to hide.
After a while, Master Han raised the loudspeaker, and everyone looked at him intently, for fear of missing a piece of information.
"I know what everyone is here for." Master Han said calmly, "I was born in the army, and I'm a rough old man. It's getting late now, and everyone has to go to work, so I won't do Tai Chi with you. "
"I know that you are all here for food, and I also know that you are worried about the lack of food in the future. Maybe some people worry that it is me, or some people in the management area, who will fill their pockets and protect each other." Master Han waved his hand and turned the logistics department The minister brought up the ledger, "But I, Han Weiguang, can tell everyone responsibly that without the protection of officials and officials, all those who enriched their pockets have been arrested. Anyone who pays attention to the bulletin board should be able to find out that we..."
He gave some examples, and then patted his chest: "Everyone, please ask yourself, have I, Han Weiguang, failed you in the past few months..."
"When I came to Fengcheng, when Mayor Gao was still there, my soldiers... until now, there are not one out of ten!" Teacher Han had tears in his eyes, "So many people were sacrificed for what? Isn’t it everyone? Isn’t it Fengcheng? Ask yourself, have I withheld everyone’s food in the past few months? Will everyone be able to eat as long as they work hard?”
"It is precisely because the mutants' lack of food will affect the mutation, so I opened a warehouse under pressure and let everyone exchange food according to their work. Now halfway through September, we have Captain Tan who can deter the herd..."
Teacher Han began to think about the future, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and finally raised his arms and shouted: "I, Han Weiguang, promise to do my best to provide you with enough supplies. As long as everyone is strong, we can attack the wild in October. Without food, we will Just eat monster meat, as long as we are strong enough, we can survive!"
As soon as the voice fell, some people from all directions raised their arms and shouted: "Live! Live!"
Among the crowd, most of them were excited, and when they heard someone yelling, they also yelled: "Live, live!"
Seeing this, Master Han secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but not everyone was so easily fooled, and a small number of people looked angry and questioned Master Han from various aspects, especially the questions about strength development and food, which were even more acute.
The crowd gradually quieted down, wanting to hear Mr. Han's explanation.
Fortunately, Master Han was prepared and answered very calmly, which satisfied most of the people.
During the question and answer, someone suddenly asked: "Mr. Han, since Captain Tan can lead us to fight against monsters, why don't the stronger Advisor Su and Mr. Qi never show up?"
"Yeah, why do they live in Snowless Mountains? If they are willing to take action, we won't die so many people at all. The entire Yuhe lake is ours."
"That is to say, they are so strong, why can't they protect us? Why do we have to live in fear? With them and Captain Tan, we will not encounter danger at all."
Everyone was chattering, although the number of people was small, the voice was quite loud.
Among the crowd, many people showed dissatisfaction, but some people showed shaken faces because of the safety of their lives.
All of a sudden, no one came out to speak for Su Qing and the others?
From the height, Su Qing glanced at Qi Jiang with a smile, raised her eyebrows slightly: What did I say?
Below, Master Han picked up the loudspeaker: "Everyone be quiet, the reason why Consultant Su and Mr. Qi..."
At the same time, some people came back to their senses and hurriedly said: "Don't spout blood, Su consults him..."
Qi Jiang bumped Su Qing's hand, indicating that it's time for him to come out.
Su Qing, who was still laughing, nodded lightly, didn't let these people go on talking, and interrupted him directly with a sneer: "Of course it's because I've bothered you."
He flew up to the highest roof, smiled and looked at the crowd looking for him below, and very thoughtfully made some noise to let everyone find him.
Teacher Han's expression froze: "Consultant Su..."
"The ancients did not deceive me sincerely, but people are deceived by good people." Su Qing leaned on the slate roof, as if sneering, "Speaking of which, I have saved you many times, at least half of you, ah, no At least two-thirds of the people have been saved by me and Qi Jiang, and some people may have been saved by me twice or even three times."
Looking at the people below with guilty conscience, Qi Jiang also flew to Su Qing's side to stand with him at this time.
"Everyone, don't be guilty, be upright." Su Qing was not moved at all, and even found it funny, "I have seen your expressions many times, but every time it happened after someone slandered us, human nature is selfish. Clear, but you guys are too funny. Don’t say repay the favor of saving your life, at least don’t repay the favor? If I throw a leaf into the water, I can at least see some water waves. What did I get for saving you? A consultant Su? Heh, this title is really worth a thousand gold."
Everyone bowed their heads because of what he said, Su Qing didn't bother to say anything more, and finally just said with a sneer: "A group of blood-sucking insects, if I don't hurry up, am I still waiting to be used by you?"
Seeing what he said almost rolled his eyes, Qi Jiang smiled and nodded slightly to the stunned Mr. Han, his voice was mixed with sound waves to ensure that everyone could hear his words: "I warn you, we and Fengcheng Base are just Neighbors, not your parents..."
Su Qing interjected: "I don't dare to answer this father."
Qi Jiang looked at him helplessly, but did not refute, and continued: "In the past, Su Qing helped you because he was from Fengcheng, but now this affection has been exhausted, and we only have a cooperative relationship with Fengcheng. I advise some people not to think about what they have, we didn’t care about it before, but after hearing it, I will beat people up.”
He stopped for three seconds, Su Qing saw that he didn't speak, she knew that he had finished speaking, and there was still something to say in her heart.
After scolding these people, Su Qing felt refreshed. At this moment, he felt that he had a really good temper before, and he should have been like this from the beginning. He behaved as he felt comfortable.
"Okay, let's go." Su Qing didn't want to stay any longer, and looked at Mr. Han, "Mr. Han, let's suspend today's teaching time, and you can deduct the corresponding class fee at that time."
As the head of a base, Mr. Han, Su Qing still saved some face for him, and didn't say that he was on credit.
Qi Jiang saw that Mr. Han was numb, and remembered that he was like a loving father, afraid that everyone would not be able to withstand the impact of the outside world, so he would help him before leaving.
"Let's go first. Let's keep going. We have to work hard for Mr. Han. How everyone treated us before will probably treat you in the same way." Qi Jiang flew up, pointing, "For example, tonight."
Su Qing knew his purpose, pretended to be impatient and gave him a hand, and gloated a little: "Let's go, why are you talking nonsense with these people, whoever makes Mr. Han nice, he deserves it."
The two quickly left the Fengcheng base, the crowd was quiet, Tan Yilong and others who were hiding in the dark outside the crowd finally had a chance to swallow their saliva, stretched out their hands to close their jaws that had opened at some point, and looked carefully over there with complicated faces. Mr. Han.
Originally, everything was going in the direction Mr. Han hoped, but he never thought that Su Qing and the two would intervene. Seeing everyone's complicated expressions, Mr. Han was also in a complicated mood. For the first time, he didn't know what to do.
It was a tricky mess, but it was as if he saw another thread in the tangle and found some direction.
Su Qing, who had already left, didn't care what he was thinking, when they were far enough away, he finally couldn't help laughing, and flew upside down in front of Qi Jiang excitedly: "This is so cool! I can finally scold them, it turns out that it is so cool to scold people so that they dare not refute."
It turned out that what he said before that he didn't care was lying to himself, he cared so much!
"In this world, it's not easy to be a good person, so let's just be a bad person in the future." Qi Jiang was much calmer than him, and looked at Su Qing whose eyes were full of stars with a smile, "What are you going to do tonight?"
"Didn't you make a compass last time?" Su Qing clapped his hands and took out the compass from the space, "Why don't we go to sea and see if we can find a small island, maybe there is a spiritual mine there."
"What about the mountains?" Qi Jiang didn't want to go out with this little burden.
"Leave it at home." Su Qing didn't dare to look at her daughter, coughed lightly, and tried to explain, "Jin Jin has to be watched by someone, in case we go out to ask for everyone, it's not convenient for the sea to carry the mountains, and the mountains Shan has been hunting for so many days, he should take a rest, it is comfortable to go home and sleep."
Shanshan had an expression that I wouldn't be fooled by you, but she kept her voice low and was thrown home in the end.
When they flew to the beach, they could still see a continuous stream of long teams coming from the beach. These were people from the coast of the canyon. Because there were not many places to avoid sandstorms along the way, there were restrictions on the number of people who set off every day. That's why it hasn't been transferred yet.
After going out to sea, Su Qing and Qi Jiang took turns sending spiritual energy into the compass, and found that the compass was very unstable, with no stable pointing at all, but it was clear that there was no problem in the previous test.
"Is it because there are too few lightning veins, are there any nearby?" Su Qing patted the compass subconsciously.
Qi Jiang set the compass to look for the five-element spirit veins again, but the compass was still unstable, and he said with some uncertainty: "Is it broken? The formations are not easy to use, and it's normal that the magic tools made in advance are not useful. ?”
Su Qing took out a spirit crystal, saw the compass pointer stop, and shook his head slightly: "It may be too far away."
"Then go on."
They continued to fly further away, and took out the compass to look at it from time to time, but they didn't get anything all night, not to mention the spiritual veins, and they didn't even find a single island.
There were no sandstorms at sea, but the strong winds remained undiminished and the waves kept coming. It was just that there was nothing they could do about Su Qing.
The next day, seeing that it was almost time, the two had no choice but to go back home. When they passed by Fengwai Mountain, the pointer stopped with a hush.
Qi Jiang paused and looked at Fengwai Mountain: "Susu..."
Su Qing turned around suspiciously: "Huh? What's the matter?"
He flew back and subconsciously looked at the compass, then raised his head and looked at Qi Jiang in the next second, a little in disbelief: "There is a thunder vein in Fengwai Mountain?"
Because Fengwai Mountain gave him a very dangerous feeling, they subconsciously stayed away from here when they went out to sea. When they came back, they were afraid that they would not be able to withstand the high temperature when the time came, so they took a shortcut and came back.
Who knew that Lei Lingmai was actually found here?
Qi Jiang struggled: "Don't look for it anymore, Fengwai Mountain is too dangerous."
"No matter how dangerous it is, we must go!" Su Qing immediately said, "One step behind and one step behind, the people in Fengcheng base are a lesson from the past, we must not give up any opportunity."
"But I am only the fourth step at most, and you are only the third step." Qi Jiang felt that it was too risky, "As a monk, you can't underestimate your intuition, let alone your intuition when you awaken your blood. In case there is an existence beyond the first step..."
"You can't say that." Su Qing retorted, "We are the blood of kings, how can we compare with ordinary monsters? We should go up one or two steps."
What kind of king's blood can't be challenged by leaps and bounds?
Anyway, he won't give up.
"You can't reach the first step even if you lift two steps. We still have time, so we can..."
"Why are you so wordy." Su Qing snatched the compass over, "You still say you want to protect me, even if you can't beat me, how do you protect me?"
Qi Jiang: ...
"This matter has to be figured out slowly." Qi Jiang finally made up his mind, "First find a way to find the location of Lei Lingmai."
Su Qing was finally satisfied. Looking at the sun that hadn't come out yet, he felt that there was still some time: "There are no strong thunder-type monsters in Fengwai Mountain, and there should be no master for the spirit veins. I'll go around for a while."
Qi Jiang, who couldn't fly fast, knew that he might be found if he flew in, so he tried not to hold back: "...then be careful."
Su Qing made an OK gesture, and quickly and carefully flew into Fengwai Mountain with a compass.
He wandered around the hills beyond the monster beasts on the first step, but no monsters noticed his existence, but neither did he find the lightning veins.
In the end, he quietly went for a stroll around the mountain where the monster beast on the first step was. Looking at the cave entrance pointed by the pointer, he flew over quietly, looked inside, and found a large lair not far away. Two huge golden eagles.
Oh, the golden eagle couple?What a fate.
He flew in a little bit cautiously, and only saw the wind spirit crystals and their companions piled up everywhere in the cave, but he didn't find any thunder spirits.
Su Qing looked at the compass suspiciously, then looked up again, hesitating whether to go in or not.
Susu!
Su Qing shrank back and hid outside, nervously listening to the movement inside, and after a while carefully poked his head out again, seeing a golden eagle change its posture, but did not open its eyes before secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
There were still two breathing sounds in the cave, and the risk of going in was too great, so he finally gave up and flew around the mountain, and flew out suspiciously if he didn't find the thunder spirit energy.
The sun will be out, the sky is already very bright, his figure appears in the distance, Qi Jiang saw it and flew over worriedly: "How is it? Are you okay?"
Su Qing shook her head: "I'm fine, no monster found me."
Qi Jiangsong breathed a sigh of relief, and heard him say again: "I found the thunder veins in the mountain of the Golden Eagles, but I didn't sense the thunder energy, nor did I see any thunder spirits."
Qi Jiang looked at his compass suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
"Is the aura too restrained?" Su Qing felt that there should be no mistake.
"If I remember correctly, the Golden Eagle's mountain is quite small. With a wind spirit vein and a thunder spirit vein, it is logically crowded enough. No matter how restrained you are, you shouldn't be able to feel it at all, and the spirit veins are all blocked. It's been opened." Qi Jiang frowned, "Could it be that the spirit vein is too small?"
"Why don't you take a look?"
Hearing this, Qi Jiang nodded lightly and told Su Qing to wait a while, and he flew to Fengwai Mountain to find out.
About 10 minutes later, there was some commotion in Fengwai Mountain, Qi Jiang flew out quickly, and pulled Su Qing to hide in a corner.
After a while, the commotion calmed down, Su Qing looked at Qi Jiang suspiciously, and asked silently: What's wrong?
"I was almost discovered." Qi Jiang's voice was extremely low, and the joy on his brows never faded. There should be good news.
The two took a detour and flew home. On the way, Qi Jiang said without waiting for Su Qing to ask: "There is really a Leiling vein in it, it's at the bottom of the mountain, it's not too small, there should be about a hundred copies."
"Is it restrained aura?"
Qi Jiang nodded deeply, smiled and touched the small dragon's horn, which was only five centimeters long in his hair: "Yes, I can't even feel it. If my dragon's horn didn't react, I would suspect that there is something wrong with the compass."
But it was the electric arc from Longjiao that he was almost discovered. It's a good idea that he ran fast, otherwise he would be alarmed.
A hundred or so copies, even if Qi Jiang couldn't awaken the bloodline immediately, but with the rarity of the Leiling vein, it was enough for them to take risks.
At that time, we can get together with those from Leifeng Mountain. Even if we can't find a new Lei Lingmai, we will be able to gather enough Thunder spirits after a while.
The two quickly decided on a plan on the road. They had thought about going to the Golden Eagle couple's house to steal the house before, so they just need to change their method now.
Back home, as soon as Su Qing opened the door, Shan Shan jumped out, yelling and accusing Su Qing of his heartless father.
Su Qing naturally begged for forgiveness from his daughter, but before Shanshan let him go, Qi Jiang frowned and took the cat away.
"How many times have you said it? You are not allowed to be hugged by your father when I am around." Qi Jiang scolded Shanshan with a haughty face.
Shan Shan was angry at first, and immediately jumped up after being scolded by him: "Meow!"
One person and one cat started fighting again. Su Qing shook his head helplessly and walked into the room. Before the temperature rose too high, he quickly put down a few pots of ice cubes and a few watermelons.
He went in to take a shower, Qi Jiang and Shan Shan in the living room had also decided the winner after three hundred rounds of fighting, Qi Jiang looked at Shan Shan lying on the ground spread into cat cakes and snorted coldly: "You should reflect on yourself."
Shan Shan raised his head unconvinced, and also meowed coldly. He didn't know where he learned it, but the cat's meow could vaguely form a sentence: You wait for me!
"Oh, just you?" Qi Jiang turned his head in disdain, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Wait, did the stupid cat talk?
Shanshan also yelled a few times in disbelief, and found that the yell was completely different from before, and looked at Qi Jiang with some doubts: "Meow meow?" Did I hear wrong?
Qi Jiang also suspected that he had heard it wrong, and coughed lightly: "Say one more thing?"
Shanshan rolled his eyes, buried his hands and bowed his head to ignore him: "Meow!" Get out!
Qi Jiang poked her a few times unwillingly to ask her to repeat it again, but Shan Shan ignored him, seeing that the goal was not achieved, Qi Jiang gradually lost interest.
When he returned to the house, Shan Shan quietly raised his head in the living room. After hesitating for a while, he went back to his room in the backyard, squatted in the cat's litter and began to call out softly, trying to speak again.
Today, Jin Jin still didn't wake up, but he turned over, and Shan Shan didn't learn to speak.
When the two and one cat came to the base in the evening, they were surprised to find that there were guests in the base.
Visiting guests is a big event in Fengcheng. The residents of the Fengcheng base who were just dizzy by a few bombs last night were diverted by new incidents before they had time to accept Mr. Han's notice.
There are still people coming and going in the base, and new people move in every day. Buildings such as cellars and underground shelters are being excavated hard. There are also many stone houses above the ground, and the slow-moving houses are still stone sheds and even wooden houses.
Although the materials are different and the progress is different, but at first glance, the planning is good and it looks quite neat, so it should not be embarrassing in front of the guests.
Because of what happened last night, everyone's spirits are a bit low, and their work is not as active as before, and they even fish and chat during work.
Su Qing walked all the way to Mr. Han's office, and people on the road recognized them, with embarrassing or evasive or awkward or dissatisfied eyes, all kinds of expressions, but Su Qing and the two were too lazy to pay attention to these.
Regardless of what these people were thinking, and did not mention their reactions, in short, when Su Qing and the others came to the management area, they had already figured out the ins and outs of the guests.
The guests meet the survey team on the road and come back with the survey team.
The goal of these guests is to find Fengcheng upstream. They set out early and walked up the river all the way. Because of an accident on the way, they happened to miss the survey team that set off with Fengcheng to find Gaocheng. Meet another survey party.
And their starting point is Gaocheng.
