Chapter 48 Sandstorm Season 12 Wei Rui Cooperation, Blood Moon Night. ……

Lu Wei pursed her lips, her ears turned red from all the stares.

Lu Rui swallowed a mouthful of the unique-tasting eggplant and responded on behalf of his sister without even looking up: "Yes, it's us."

Isn’t that… the richest man in Mingzhu Town?

Suddenly, the customers in the lobby were silent for a few seconds, and then they all laughed at the same time.

Everyone exchanged glances, and as expected, they all thought of what Artest had just said, "Did you earn it yourselves?"

The Zaoyao Pill existed when Mingzhu Town was first established, but it had not yet been developed on a large scale. The herbs collected by Wei Rui and his partner were just another way to make ends meet, and most of the materials were stored in the warehouse. It was not until Mingzhu Town grew stronger and the demand for herbal ingredients increased sharply, coupled with the high cost of living, that Lu Wei decided to put the Zaoyao Pill on the right track.

They chose an excellent time to enter the market, earning the earliest pot of gold and the biggest wave of fame, and becoming well-known suppliers overnight.

It can be said that Chizao Pills and Mingzhu Town watched each other grow up. Later, when Chizao Pills became bigger, it was inconvenient for Wei Rui to come in person, so she hired people to help manage it, and they only needed to take care of the herbs. Therefore, most of the new residents in the town did not know that the sisters were behind Chizao Pills.

Once they know this, no one will say such nonsense as “the money is not earned by you”.

The player sighed and said, "It's a pity that the bastard didn't hear it!"

"It's better that he didn't hear it," Lu Rui curled his lips, "I don't want him to know. Otherwise, when we return to town, he will definitely come to disgust us from time to time."

Arguing with a fool is like wrestling with a pig. Both sides get covered in mud, but the dirtier they get, the happier the pig is.

In the afternoon, Lu Wei rested in the room for a while, and was rushed downstairs by his sister to find the clerk to enjoy the laundry service.

She pushed open the door and saw Jiang Runian at a glance.

Jiang Runian was holding a pile of beautiful beach pebbles in his hands and was thinking about how to shape the path outside the door.

Lu Wei approached with small steps and asked timidly, "Boss Jiang...can I ask you to do my laundry now?"

Jiang Runian threw the stone in his hand, took out an ordinary-looking broom, and with just a light tap, all the clothes that Wei Rui and her friend were wearing and their room were brand new.

Lu Wei: “…”

Shock!

Unbelievable!

After finishing the work, Lu Wei did not leave. She looked around and found no outsiders. She also didn't know where A Tai, who was strolling around, had gone.

She took another step closer and whispered, "Thank you for speaking for us just now..."

Jiang Ruonian smiled and said, "Anyone who sees this will do the same."

"We have sufficient stocks of herbs for taking jujube pills, all within a year. If you need them, I can give you a permanent 10% discount..." As she spoke, she suddenly realized that it was inappropriate, "Ah! I really want to thank you, not just to discuss business - well, although I did come here to discuss business in the first place, but..."

Lu Wei's character is a bit socially anxious, and the more you describe him, the worse it gets.

Jiang Ruonian touched her shoulder and coaxed her like a child: "It's okay, it's okay, I know what you mean."

Compared to the permanent 10% discount, this is nothing! As expected of the richest man in Mingzhu Town, he is so extravagant!

Just tell me if it’s a coincidence.

A day ago, Jiang Ruunian was thinking about where to get a large amount of medicinal herbs, and Wei Rui came to his door.

Or maybe it’s just that the chemical reaction between people is magical!

Jiang Runian even thought that it would be great if she could grow medicinal herbs, so that she could multiply her income infinitely...

"Do you grow your own herbs?" she blurted out her thoughts.

Lu Wei was stunned, and pursed his lips habitually, and explained seriously: "No. Our ability is to become invisible for a short period of time, which allows us to enter many dangerous areas to collect herbs."

This time it was Jiang Runian's turn to be stunned.

Are you just going to give away your supernatural powers so casually? !

This boss has no sense of crisis! !

No wonder they are the only supplier of herbal medicine in Mingzhu Town; this talent is simply a gift from God.

Invisibility ability!!

If used well, it is a natural gift, but if used the wrong way, it is a sin. If someone as ugly as A-Tai had this ability, the Eighth District would have been turned upside down. Fortunately, it was Wei Rui. They had such a supernatural power, but they used it to collect and make money.

If Lu Wei had not been honest, Jiang Runian would have carefully considered this proposal; but Lu Wei was honest, and Jiang Runian's keen sixth sense immediately concluded that she was a kind and good person.

Once again, I sigh that the chemical reaction between people is so magical!

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ruonian extended his hand to her: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Who could have thought that the breakdown of the talks between Qingshan Inn and Mingzhu Town would lead to the connection with Chizao Yaowan?

Lu Wei was very surprised: "I just heard you talk about the appointment system. Hibiscus can also be delivered by mail, right? If you need herbs, just send me a letter and I'll have someone send it to me by bus. If there is a designated collection area, you can also tell me - this is a VIP service."

"Designated area? Will you help collect it?"

"Well, the items you obtain are yours, you just need to pay the labor cost."

As he spoke, Lu Wei's face became hot again. How did he unconsciously turn into a sales pitch again...

She thought about it seriously and suddenly said, "I really have a favor to ask of you."

"Speaking."

"There is an abandoned city northeast of Qingshan Inn, and there is a huge medicinal material warehouse hidden underground."

A medicinal material warehouse in the abandoned city? !

Aren't these all treasures left over from before the end of the world? !

"The mutants there are too ferocious. It takes too much energy to go there once. Can you take them for me?" Jiang Runian said generously, "We took them once last time. There should be 60% to 70% left. We can split it 50-50."

Lu Wei waved his hands repeatedly: "You are too polite."

Jiang Runian said with a smile: "You are being polite. It is not safe in the abandoned city. Just consider it as a greeting gift from a friend."

Friends...

Lu Wei put his hands behind his back and clenched his fists under his long sleeves, unable to hide his joy.

"Okay! Then I will respectfully obey your command!"

*

That evening.

Lu Wei and Lu Rui took an afternoon nap, and with full buffs, they headed to the Sunset Wasted City according to the map drawn by Jiang Runian.

When they walked through the heavy, dusty glass door, they were amazed by the three full walls of the pharmacy.

They had never participated in a battle, nor had they been to such a huge abandoned city. This was the first time they had seen a warehouse with such abundant supplies... The two of them emptied their backpacks and could only fit half of it. They would give this half to Jiang Runian first, and the rest would be brought back to Mingzhu Town six days later, just in time to take it home.

Lu Wei looked up at the sky. It had been less than two hours since they left the house, and the buff on their bodies had not yet disappeared.

Wei Rui's invisibility lasts for ten minutes, and the CD is also ten minutes. To use the power efficiently, you have to do as much as possible within ten minutes, so they choose dishes that increase movement speed.

The two of them leisurely strolled around the Wasted City again, helped Jiang Ruunian fill in part of the map, and then hurried to leave the Wasted City before the invisibility buff disappeared.

It's so easy!

This is the true power of the Date Pill!

Lu Rui was jumping and skipping in front, and Lu Wei shouted in surprise: "Rui Rui! Be careful! There is a desert under your feet, what if you fall into it while jumping and skipping!"

Lu Rui didn't care: "With our current speed, even the quicksand can't hold us back!"

Although it sounds like a flag, what she said is indeed the truth.

The two of them are born with higher movement speed than others, and with the added buff, walking on the yellow sand is like ice skating.

Lu Wei sighed and let her go.

How can you abandon your own sister? Just pamper her.

Lu Wei opened the floating screen and took a look, muttering, "We have to hurry up, the buff only has eight minutes left."

They were already halfway there, and if they quickened their pace, eight minutes would be enough to get back to Qingshan Inn.

Suddenly, Lu Rui, who was walking in front, sneezed.

She rubbed her arms and said, "Sister, it's a bit cold."

How could it be cold when the sun was shining brightly? Lu Wei lectured her about how she would catch a cold if she kicked off the blanket at night, while quickly catching up with her to check her forehead temperature.

Just then, a cold breeze swept by.

Lu Wei also got goose bumps on his arms unconsciously.

...something's wrong.

This is not the weather you'd expect during the daytime in sandstorm season.

Lu Rui also reacted, his heart rate suddenly peaked, and he immediately took his sister's hand and ran forward!

After running a few steps, the yellow desert in front of me suddenly dimmed.

A sinister red enveloped the world.

Lu Wei's feet seemed to have fallen into Medusa's trap, entangled in fear and panic.

She looked up and saw a red moon gradually rising in the sky.

The blood-like light sprinkled down, covering everything on the earth. There was an indescribable chill in the air, and even breathing was subtly painful. The whole world was corroded by the strange red light, and the shadow of the cactus was stretched to a very long length, like a twisted monster wriggling. The sound of the dead branches shaking in the distance was particularly harsh, as if countless wronged souls whispered from all directions.

This is... the night of the blood moon.

An extremely rare natural disaster.

From the beginning of the apocalypse to now, players have never encountered this.

The reason why Wei Rui was able to distinguish them was because the games they had played also had many survival elements, such as Seida, Seven Days, Terraria... These games all had blood moon settings.

It is impossible for "Infinite Tomorrow" to show players a big moon change for no reason. It can only be a natural disaster.

Seeing that his sister was not moving, Lu Rui half-dragged and half-carried her and ran towards Qingshan Inn with all his might.

But after running a few steps, the blood moonlight shone down, and the surrounding scenery began to shake like ripples on the water. The forest in the distance was no longer quiet, as if it had opened a huge mouth, ready to swallow everything at any time. The occasional sound of the wind also turned into an ancient low hum, sucking away the oxygen and making people feel stuffy in their chests.

Wei Rui suddenly closed his eyes, pulling his nearly scattered mind back from the weirdness.

When they opened their eyes again, everything was back to normal - except for the blood moon. Just as the two of them were concentrating and preparing to set off again, suddenly, the ground shook violently!

A muffled sound was heard, as if a corner of the ground was torn apart by a huge force. The desert beneath my feet trembled slightly, and the red light dimmed for three seconds, then became more dazzling. On the distant horizon, a huge crack was slowly tearing open, absorbing the blood-colored light.

In the crack, some irregular shadows could be vaguely seen moving. Those things were pouring out, with blurred outlines, but each one was twisted and had strange limbs.

It seems to be an established rule that the blood moon will be accompanied by a strange tide.

After being interrupted again and again, the buff only had four minutes left, which was not enough to support them to return to the nearest shelter...

Lu Wei and Lu Rui ran forward with all their strength, almost out of breath, with pain throbbing on the left side of their abdomen.

Lu Rui was in a hurry to escape and was tripped by the withered bushes under his feet.

The strange wave was getting closer and closer, rushing towards them at a speed beyond physical cognition.

Suddenly, a sharp sound erupted from the crack!

A sharp claw suddenly stretched out towards them. The shapeless monster's skin was like corroded rock, with dark red venom flowing on the surface. Its eyes were empty, but flashing with a strange red light, like a puppet controlled by the blood moon.

Lu Wei pulled his sister away, trembling, "What the hell are these things..."

As they dodged, the buff disappeared.

My legs, which had been light and fluttery, suddenly felt heavy, as if they were being dragged into the center of the earth by the desert.

Wei Rui had almost no combat experience and was a complete newbie, let alone facing these powerful monsters bred by the blood moon.

Lu Wei's face turned pale.

She closed her eyes, pushed Lu Rui out with all her strength, and rushed towards the monster herself.

However, the expected pain did not fall on me.

With a loud bang, a long sword blocked her way.

Bai Yexuan was agile and negotiated with the monster. Little Blue's cute head popped out from the sand, Liu Yinshuang opened the car door and jumped down, holding Lu Wei by the waist with her left hand and Lu Rui on her shoulder with her right hand, and got into the car like a thief being chased by the police.

She yelled, "Master! Retreat!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yexuan decisively put away his sword.

Liu Yinshuang put the two of them on their seats and comforted them, "It's okay, it's okay, you're safe now!"

Lu Wei came back to his senses from the panic, and even swallowing became difficult. He stammered, "How come you are here?"

"It was A-Nian who asked us to look for it along this road," Liu Yinshuang patted her chest, "With Qingshan Inn here, you can rest assured!"
