At that moment, the Jeep was in a state of paralysis. Ergou continued to feel around the Jeep and tried to repair it. Unfortunately, he was half-baked and could not figure out what was wrong with the car.
The three people who were waiting became more and more frustrated.
“Buttface, when can it be fixed?” Luo yeye asked impatiently for the sixth time.
I ... I don’t know how to repair cars. If it was just a small problem, like a loose belt or something, I could fix it. But now, I’ve checked all the parts and everything is normal. Buttface said with a long face.
At this time, he was also anxious. If the car could not be repaired, they would waste too much time and they would not get anything today. If there was no harvest, it meant that he was hungry.
In particular, they had to return to Leo city before dark. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous in the wilderness.
Tian Mu was silent for a long time before he said,”yeye, Heilang.” Let’s go look around and see if we can find some fruits.”
As he spoke, Tian Mu lowered his head and looked at the watch on his wrist.”It’s 12:58 right now. I have two hours. No matter if I find anything, I must return here. Buttface, you don’t have to be in such a hurry. Take your time and fix it if you can, but it’s fine even if you can’t. At most, we’ll walk back tonight.”
He said it was easy, but if he could, he really wanted to press ergou to the ground and rub him. He even thought of killing ergou, but he really had no choice.
The car accident had already happened, and his anger had changed the truth.
In the post-apocalyptic era, unity was the only way to live longer. His calmness was also the key to becoming a captain.
“Alright,” he said. Buttface’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
“Hmph,” he snorted. Luo yeye glared at ergou.
As for hei lang, his right hand was holding the axe at his waist, and he didn’t say a word.
......
In the back of the carriage, li xiaonian heard their conversation and said awkwardly, ” “Why don’t you guys carry me out and I’ll help you take a look?”
“You know how to repair cars?”
Luo yeye’s eyes widened.
The other three people were also stunned.
A car was definitely a high-end item. It was very expensive. There were many people in Leo town who knew how to repair cars, but most of them were like er Gou, half-baked.
After all, this was a profound skill that belonged to the skill of eating. Ordinary Masters would not easily teach it.
“I ... I know a little.” Li xiaonian replied humbly.
It’s just a Jeep. I’ve even repaired a mecha before. Of course, he would not say this out loud. If he did, he would only be treated as a mental patient.
Tian Mu nodded.
Buttface took the lead and worked with Luo yeye to carry the paralyzed li xiaonian out.
“The rope is making me very uncomfortable.” Li xiaonian said without a trace.
“Kid, if you can’t fix it, I’ll feed you to the dogs.” The anxious Luo yeye threatened.
With the help of ergou, li xiaonian took a look at the engine.
This Jeep was simple, very simple.
It had an engine, four wheels, and a drive shaft. On earth, this car would definitely be an antique among antiques.
“Ergou, try to activate it.”
“Sure, no problem.”
Ergou handed li xiaonian to Luo yeye, who held li xiaonian, who couldn’t stand, in case he fell. Li xiaonian’s back was against Luo yeye’s chest. It was soft. If he wasn’t injured, he might have enjoyed this ambiguous position. Unfortunately, all his bones were broken, and every movement he made was painful.
Zzzz ~~
The engine belt spun, but the engine could not be started.
“Stop, that’s enough.”
“Get me a board and send me to the bottom of the car. I just need to take a look,” li xiaonian said to Luo yeye.
it’s deep in the mountains and wild forests. Where Can I Get you a board? you’re a man, so why are you so delicate?” Luo yeye tied the rope around her chest and ran to the other side of the car. She pulled the rope roughly and dragged li xiaonian under the car.
Hiss ~
Li xiaonian’s mouth twitched in pain. He couldn’t help but roar,”This is murder. I’m seriously injured right now.”
Luo yeye ignored li xiaonian’s roar and said coldly,””Hurry up, can you fix the car? If it can’t be fixed, we can only leave you here. Otherwise, bringing a burden like you along is simply courting death.”
I’ll endure.
Li xiaonian was well aware of the situation they were in. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have checked the condition of the car with all his injuries.
He raised his head and looked at the chassis of the car.
“Ergou, bring your tools and get in here to repair the car.”
“What’s wrong?”
Buttface was pleasantly surprised. From his tone, it was clear that he had found the car’s problem.
He was the one to blame for the Jeep’s malfunction. How could it have inexplicably crashed into a tree? such a fatal mistake was hard to believe, but it really happened. Of all the people, he was the most upset. As long as he could fix the car, although it was a waste of time, he could at least make up for his mistakes. Otherwise, it would be hard to say if the car would still be there tomorrow after being left in the wilderness for a night.
the oil tank’s oil-sucking motor is loose and can’t suck in oil. Can you fix it?”
“Um ... No, I don’t. I still need some guidance from little brother.”
Under li xiaonian’s guidance, ergou immediately returned the loose motor to its original position and fixed the oil pipe.
Another hour had passed by the time he was done.
Clang ~~ boom ~~
The engine started up normally.
haha ... It’s finally done. Captain, yeye, hurry up and get in the car. If you’re fast, we can still make it in time for today’s mission.
As a hero, li xiaonian’s treatment had been improved. Although he was still thrown into the trunk, Luo yeye had cleaned up the debris in the car to make more space for li xiaonian to be more comfortable.
“Where are you guys going?” Li xiaonian said worriedly.
of course we’re going to get food. Five days ago, we collected a lot of food and piled it up in a secret corner. Now we’re going to get the food back. Er Gou explained happily.
“Far? Can you return to the base before 6?”
it’s already two O ‘clock. If everything goes well, we’ll only be back in the safe zone at half past seven.
Hearing this, li xiaonian became anxious and said, ” no, definitely not. We have to return immediately or look for food nearby. We have to return to the safety zone before six O ‘clock tonight.
The will of the planet, ah fan, was in a deep sleep. Without its control, the violent nature of the biochemical beast would be released. No one could guarantee that the biochemical beast would not move in advance.
The sun had already set at six O ‘clock. Although the sky was still bright, the impact on the biochemical beast was dispensable.
The four of them were slightly stunned as they looked at li xiaonian.
“Reason?” Tian Mu said calmly.
After the car repair incident, he could already tell that the young man in front of him was not a simple person.
Li xiaonian pondered for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said,””From today onwards, all biochemical beasts will become more violent and brutal than before. In the past, they would only be mobilized after dark, but due to certain circumstances, they have mutated and become stronger and smarter. It’s best not to take the risk without fully understanding the extent of their mutation.”
Puchi ~
Luo yeye laughed and said,”kid, do you really think we are that stupid?” Whatever you say. In my opinion, you just don’t want to suffer the shaking of the Jeep and want to return to the gathering point as soon as possible.”
Tian Mu pondered for a long time. the plan remains the same, ” he said indifferently. continue moving forward, but speed up the car, as fast as you can.
Perhaps what li xiaonian said was true, but since they had already come out, they couldn’t afford to return empty-handed.
Moreover, so what if the biochemical beast was irritable? they were not to be trifled with.
BOOM!
Buttface stepped on the accelerator and sped along the rugged mountain road.
The Jeep shook up and down. Li xiaonian’s muscles were torn apart again and again, and the pain was unbearable.
He opened the purple Star Ring with his mind and searched for healing items.
Li xiaonian bent his body with great effort, his back facing the four of them. With a thought, a bottle of health potion appeared at the corner of his mouth. He could not move his fingers, but he could move his tongue.
He opened the bottle cap with his tongue and sucked quietly.
After that, li xiaonian put the empty bottle back into the purple Star Ring.
The whole process was like a rat stealing things, sneaky.
He didn’t want to take the risk of exposing the purple Star Ring, but in the current situation, he had to recover from his injuries as soon as possible to deal with the danger that might arise.
Fortunately, the four of them were vigilantly observing their surroundings and did not pay any attention to li xiaonian.
Li xiaonian didn’t dare to swallow the life potion in one gulp. Instead, he swallowed it carefully.
Gulp ~~
Li xiaonian’s dried-up body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye under the nourishment of the life potion.
One bottle couldn’t completely cure him, but li xiaonian could clearly feel that he could at least move slightly now.
BOOM!
BOOM!
......
The Jeep sped along the rugged mountain road.
Li xiaonian hid in the trunk and drank some health potions. Feeling that his body had almost recovered, li xiaonian became bolder and even ate some beef secretly.
“What’s that smell?” hei lang sniffed.
The other three also sniffed. Luo yeye swallowed her saliva and said, ” “It looks like beef.”
hehe, such fragrant beef. We must be hallucinating. Buttface laughed at himself.
As the captain, Tian Mu was the first to be alert. He said in a deep voice, ” “Be careful, there might be a situation nearby.”
All of them looked around nervously.
In the wilderness, biochemical beasts were definitely enemies. Compared to biochemical beasts, the hidden evil humans were more difficult to deal with.
Li xiaonian’s careless move caused the four of them to become tense.
The four of them didn’t even think of li xiaonian. In their minds, li xiaonian was a complete cripple.
As the car moved, the smell of beef disappeared very quickly.
Li xiaonian had eaten his fill and was lying quietly in the carriage.
From what he could tell, Tian Mu wasn’t weak at all. He might be on par with li xiaonian, but in a life-and-death battle, li xiaonian had a hundred ways to kill the four people in front of him.
Of course, he would not do that. He still needed the four of them to bring him back to the stronghold.
He would first understand the situation of the human settlement and see if he could find an opportunity to become the leader of the settlement. If he wanted to completely eliminate the biochemical beast, it was definitely impossible to fight it alone.
Li xiaonian’s thoughts drifted away.
I don’t know how long I slept in the rescue capsule. I hope it wasn’t too long, or I’ll be in big trouble.
I have to find an opportunity to get a power generation device and try to return to star field as soon as possible.
“That’s right, since little ya can control my in-game body, I don’t know what happened to her after such a long time. As an intelligent life form, she’s equivalent to thousands of top scientists. Hehe, the current me, although I’m not in “star field,” with Xiao Ya around, it’s equivalent to going offline and hanging up. I really want to find an opportunity to log into star field as soon as possible.”
Li xiaonian had a headache when he thought about the energy consumption of the virtual log-in device.
It was not difficult for him to build an underwater power station. The difficult part was that biochemical beasts were very sensitive to energy. The appearance of a power station would definitely attract countless biochemical beasts.
At the same time, the biochemical beast devoured electricity. They obtained energy and evolved, becoming more powerful and more bloodthirsty.
A power station was like a Firefly in the night. The danger level was self-evident.
Li xiaonian’s mind was running wild.
The Jeep arrived at its destination.
In a dilapidated rural residence, the tile-roofed house had collapsed, and the surroundings were overgrown with weeds. However, crops were still growing on the cultivated land outside the village.
Sweet potatoes were everywhere.
“Quick, move!”
Tian Mu jumped out of the car and entered the ruins. He pulled aside the bricks and tiles of the ruins, revealing a pile of fruits. There were sweet potatoes, corn, some worn-out voice recorders, and scrap iron.
The four of them moved quickly and moved all the items onto the truck. Some of them were piled up in the carriage, while the others were placed on the roof.
The ‘disabled’ li xiaonian was violently piled up on the goods by Luo yeye.
BOOM!
The Jeep started moving again.
He turned around and went back the way he came.
The weight of the car increased sharply, and the speed of the car suddenly decreased a lot. The frame of the car made ‘creak’ and ‘creak’.
Looking at the time, it was already 16:50.
the process is quite smooth. I’ll try to return to the stronghold before seven. Tian Mu heaved a faint sigh of relief.
Luo yeye relaxed. She glanced at li xiaonian and asked, ” “Li xiaonian, you said that your home is deep in the mountains. Will it be safe in the mountains?”
“If it was safe, would I have been seriously injured?” Li xiaonian rolled his eyes at him and responded with confidence.
“Hey, what kind of attitude is this? you’re my slave now. Do you believe that I won’t give you anything to eat? I’ll starve you to death.” Luo yeye looked displeased. I’m already being kind by not asking you to call me master. Don’t push your luck.
“......”
Li xiaonian didn’t want to argue with a woman, so he chose to shut up.
don’t listen to his nonsense, little brother, ” Buttface, who was driving the car, said with a smile. she saved your life. You just need to give her enough compensation. “What does your family do?” he asked. You can even repair such a profound job.”
Li xiaonian thought for a moment and then lied, ” in fact, the reason why my family lived in seclusion deep in the mountains was because we were carrying a huge mission. We studied biochemical beasts, specialized in weapons, and tried to make drugs that could restrain biochemical beasts. Unfortunately ... The biochemical beast was too strong and broke through the family’s barrier.”
As he spoke, li xiaonian thought of what had happened to earth and his mood suddenly became low.
He was truly depressed, and he didn’t seem to be in a bad mood at all. For some reason, everyone believed him.
The reticent Black Wolf said, ” which District is your family in? can you tell us? we can help you check your family’s situation. There might be survivors.
The inspection was fake. The real thing was that he wanted to obtain the experimental equipment, various materials, and food.
The wealth contained in a family’s Secret research room would definitely make everyone envious.
Li xiaonian smiled bitterly. if you’re not afraid of death, then go ahead. My family is located near the area where you saved me. However, the research room is hidden underground, so it’ll be difficult to find it.
It was good to let them search. If they could find a life capsule, it would be beneficial to him. They couldn’t use it anyway. When the time came, he could just exchange it for some food.
