Chapter 97: It is impossible to wear an anklet.

During the time I was in the village, although I didn't have much interaction with Wu Li and the others, at least we spent a few months together.

So before leaving, Lin Mian still suggested saying goodbye to them, as in today's world, they might never meet again.

When we drove to the north side, Lin Ke and Zhao Xiaoyun were not there because they had gone to the nearby mountains to collect firewood.

As for their departure, Wu Li was both surprised and not surprised. He knew that the two of them were only staying for a short time. What was surprising was that they did not wait until the weather got better before leaving.

But it's normal if you think about it. There are only two of them, no other external ties, and there are not so many things to consider.

"Be careful on your way. If we're destined to meet again, maybe we'll see each other again in the future." Wu Yan stood beside their car. Although he said this, he knew in his heart that they might not see each other again.

Lin Xiaoyuan was still young, and his emotions were written all over his face. Because of the previous incidents, he was both afraid of and admired Jiang Jie, and he also liked the gentle Lin Mian, so he felt a little sad at the moment, with his eyes drooping.

Passersby who met by chance in the apocalypse were not close enough to exchange profound words, so despite a slight sense of farewell, Lin Mian simply smiled and waved at them, saying, "Good luck to you."

"Good luck to you, and to you too." Wu Yan also waved to him.

Lin Xiaoyuan raised his hands and waved them, his eyes red. "Brother Jiang, Brother Lin Mian, goodbye!"

The RV drove away from my sight and gradually disappeared from my sight, just like when it came.

Wu Li sighed with a hint of disappointment, then took Lin Xiaoyuan and went back.

Lin Mian looked at the village gradually moving away on the rearview screen and looked away.

The few months had been so hard to bear, but looking back now it seemed like just a moment. Before he knew it, he and Jiang Jie were back on the road together.

I actually feel like I'm in a different world for some reason, and I miss it so much.

The temperature has risen now, but the snow and frost outside have not yet begun to melt, so Jiang Jie's car speed is not very fast.

They deliberately chose a good day to set off. Although the temperature was low, the sun was shining. Looking out of the heated car, one might even have the illusion that the temperature was not below zero.

Lin Mian leaned against the car window, feeling the sunshine on his face, and felt a little comfortable.

Jiang Jie, who was driving, glanced sideways at him and felt that the other party did not look like a rabbit at this moment, but rather a lazy kitten lying on its belly in the sun.

This idea made him raise his lips. After all, they were all furry little animals.

The car drove onto the fast lane. A thick layer of snow was piled on the road. It was obvious that no vehicle had passed by for a long time. Their RV left fresh tire tracks on it.

It was not until we started passing through the city that slightly disordered tire tracks began to appear on some roads. Judging from the degree of frost, they had been there for different periods of time, but they should not have been there for too long, probably just in the past few days.

Because it snowed a few days ago, these traces were not covered.

It seems that as the temperature gradually warms up, some people will start traveling to look for supplies.

Without spatial abilities, most people are limited in the supplies they can store, and after these months of consumption, there should be very little left.

What's more, some people will go out in the deadly cold like Wu Li and others.

It would be fine if it was a team effort, but if one acted alone and did not have fire abilities, there was a high probability that one would never return.

If ordinary people do not enter a safe zone before this cold winter, they will have no chance of survival.

After this winter, even if there are still some people surviving outside, it is estimated that almost all of them have died.

Now, those cities that have not set up safe zones are most likely dead cities, and the one they are passing through is one of them.

And judging from the tire tracks around, the place had probably been looted almost completely, with nothing useful left. So they didn't move their car in and continued to move along the edge of the city.

On the road, they encountered two mutant creatures in groups of three or two. Both were the lowest level C-class. As long as they were not stopped near the car, Jiang Jie didn't bother to care.

Lin Mian leisurely opened a bag of potato chips and ate it himself while not forgetting to pass it to Jiang Jie who was driving.

When he stretched out his hand, the bracelet on his wrist fell out from his cuff. Six white crystals hung on the thin silver chain, fixed at a distance, reflecting broken light in the light, like crystal.

This was the "lucky money" Jiang Jie gave him during the Chinese New Year. It was the most basic C-level crystal, which was no longer of much use to him. However, as "lucky money", it was very commemorative, so he simply punched holes in it and strung it together to wear as a bracelet.

It was surprisingly pretty, especially on Lin Mian's wrist.

At least Jiang Jie liked it very much, especially at certain times, when those crystals swayed on the boy's wrist, he wanted to get a few more and string them into anklets for him.

Unfortunately, this suggestion was rejected by Lin Mian. He knew very well what kind of "consequences" it would bring to him. For the sake of his waist, he would never wear the anklet.

In this regard, Jiang Jie could only express regret.

His eyes swept over the beautiful crystals, and he lowered his head to eat the potato chips that were handed to him.

The food stored in the space will not expire or get damp, and will still taste its best.

After eating the potato chips, Lin Mian wiped his fingers with a tissue. He felt a little dizzy after looking at the white outside the car window for a long time, so he rubbed his temples.

As he was moving, Jiang Jie suddenly turned his eyes to the side and the car slowed down.

Lin Mian, who sensed this, looked up in confusion, "Are you tired? Let me drive instead?"

Jiang Jie stopped the car directly, but had no intention of exchanging driving with him. He just stared in a certain direction silently.

Lin Mian's expression paused slightly, and he suddenly turned his head. He seemed to have heard the sound of splashing water, but he couldn't see any water anywhere around him.

"There may be a lake or something like that nearby." Jiang Jie withdrew his gaze at this time. He stepped on the accelerator again, turned the steering wheel, and drove the RV to the small road next to it.

"There are mutants in the lake?" Lin Mian understood what he meant, and since the other party was going over now, it must be a high-level mutant.

Could it be that the kind of thing that can attract men to come here is A-level?

Jiang Jie is not sure yet, but he thinks it is most likely true. Unlike the previous rat that dug a hole, it will not cause obvious ground shaking.

But from the sound of splashing water just now, it can be heard that it is a very large living creature, at least larger than an ordinary alien creature.

After the river embankment was opened for a distance, the sound of water flowing caused by the object swimming became gradually obvious, and Lin Mian could also clearly capture it.

At the same time, the mutant creature also obviously sensed that a human mutant was approaching it, and began to get excited. The splashing sound gradually became louder, mixed with the sound of ice breaking.

Jiang Jie stopped the car, gave Lin Mian a look that told him to stay put, put on his coat, opened the door and got out of the car.

There was indeed a large lake hidden nearby. Due to the low temperature, a thick layer of ice had formed on it, and it was covered with snow, but there was a large crack on it at this moment.

Before Jiang Jie could get close, there was a sudden loud noise and the thick ice was split apart again by a huge fish tail, and broken ice flew into the air.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed that the other party was already impatient.

Almost as soon as he finished his thoughts, two thick waterspouts suddenly rose from the lake and swept towards the river.

He stood still, just stretched out his hand towards the two waterspouts. When he could almost feel the splashes of water on his face, the waterspouts condensed into ice at a very fast speed from where he stretched out his hand, from near to far.

Then, with a "bang", it shattered into powder and fell down crystal-clear in the sunlight.

A huge fish head emerged from the rolling lake surface, looking as hideous and ferocious as a deep-sea fish. Its eyes on both sides were bulging and blood-red, turning and staring at Jiang Jie.

The next second, it plunged into the lake again, its tail creating huge waves, and it swept towards the river bank with a multiplied waterspout.

After reaching the shore, the waterspout dispersed in several directions, intending to surround him, and at the same time huge waves pressed towards him.

This human, who exudes a powerful aura, makes it afraid and salivate at the same time. The supernatural core in his head will surely double its strength.

The arc-shaped water shield completely covered Jiang Jie, and then condensed into a layer of ice. The huge waves and the pressure of four or five waterspouts could not break his defense.

The mutant's tail fin slapped the water again, and the pressure of the attacks suddenly increased. If it were any other ordinary mutant, they would have been crushed into pieces long ago.

Jiang Yan stood calmly at the center of the attack, looking at the "storm" outside through the transparent ice shield, and raised his right hand and flipped it.

A stream of water that was thicker than those waterspouts rose from the ground and surrounded it. At the same time, one of them violently dispersed the waves that were constantly pressing down.

The strong water flow carried the waterspout of the alien creatures back to the lake surface, scattered in the lake water, and then the ice layer spread outward bit by bit.

It was no longer just the surface of the lake that was frozen, but it also continued to condense downwards. The alien creatures swam to avoid the frozen areas, and when they had no way to avoid them, they suddenly jumped out of the lake.

But even so, it couldn't escape. Starting from its tail fin, which was still stuck to the lake surface, its entire huge body was frozen in mid-air all the way up.

At first glance, it looks like a huge simulated sculpture.

But no one would make such an ugly sculpture. Jiang Jie glanced at the comments with disdain.

Soon, he heard the sound of the ice cracking little by little, and then with a "bang", the alien twisted its body to break free from the freeze. Its huge body fell on the already frozen lake, smashing a crack. The protruding fish eyes still stared at Jiang Jie again, and the thick, sticky fish lips opened and closed, revealing a row of tiny, sharp teeth inside.

Jiang Jie also looked at its ugly eyes and felt that this thing was like a monster from the deep sea, which was really unsightly.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "I just let you play for a long time. Now, it's my turn to play."
