Chapter 125 The Gathering Team: The Old Man and the Giant
It was already dusk, and the sky looked like a strange painting, half of it was gradually eroded by darkness, while the other half was illuminated by the orange afterglow, forming a sharp contrast.
Chu Xiuyan was sitting in the giant's eye socket, with his back against the cold black stone, looking out at the beautiful desert scenery at dusk.
With each step taken by the giant, golden sand waves spread from his feet to the horizon in all directions. The delicate sand patterns flickered faintly under the setting sun. Looking down from a high place, it was a kind of extremely gorgeous and spectacular beauty.
"Commander, look! This is the kingdom that I, Yun Aotian, built for you! The scenery is beautiful and magnificent, but it's a pity that with such a beautiful view, I can't invite you to drink with me... It's a pity that we are not from the same dimension."
The system typed out a string of ellipsis, not? The host who wanted to have a sudden brain cramp.
"But, come to think of it, the giant doesn't seem to be heading towards Youdu and Base No. 23."
After Chu Xiuyan finished his madness, he began to observe the surrounding environment. He could not see any dark shadows of buildings in the distance. With the speed of the giant, even if he could not catch up with Youdu, he could not be completely left behind.
The system agreed with his speculation: [When you landed on the giant about 300 meters away, it turned a big corner and went in the opposite direction of Youdu.]
Chu Xiuyan's expression turned serious: "So? In other words, I was kidnapped?"
System: [It’s fine if you want to understand it this way. ]
Chu Xiuyan closed his eyes in pain? "Is that so?, I thought the giant was? Aloof and calm, but I didn't expect that he was? Playing hard to get."
System: [Compared to the giant, what kind of person are you? Pay attention to Zai Zhe flying next to you. ]
Chu Xiuyan opened his eyes wide, looking at Zai Zhe who fell from the sky ten meters in front of him, and said, "So you're still here? I was wondering why there are still buzzing mosquitoes in the sky."
Zai Zhe smiled and dodged the giant's arm. His tone sounded gentle and calm, but there seemed to be a kind of gnashing of teeth hidden between the lines that was not easy to detect.
"It's getting dark, you've had enough fun, right? Should we go back?"
"Ah, to be honest, the world is so big, I want to go see it. Brother Zai Zhe, do you think the giant will attack me? And it didn't chase Youdu to attack. Instead, it went in the completely opposite direction. I guess it might be taking me somewhere. Isn't this a great opportunity for us to investigate the secrets of the desert in depth?"
What Chu Xiuyan said was completely different from the expression on his face. Although it sounded like nonsense, it made sense at first glance.
He originally thought that Zai Zhe would not be fooled by such a statement, but unexpectedly, the other party only thought about it for a while and then agreed.
"Then? I'll put a coordinate on you, and call me if you need anything later... In short, call me, understand?"
Chu Xiuyan nodded vigorously, "Understood, carry it with you!"
Zai Zhe waved his hand in satisfaction, and then flew towards Youdu at a very fast speed... He was afraid that if he left for too long, the designer would start looking for him while cursing.
Chu Xiuyan sighed: "I see?, is it? Even after the sun sets? I can't leave work."
The system also sighed: [So Zai Zhe is? The type of person who was raised in a free-range manner. ]
Chu Xiuyan: [……? ]
After chatting with the system for a while, time seemed to pass faster. In a blink of an eye, the afterglow in the sky dissipated, and darkness completely enveloped the earth. Only the stars twinkled, slightly illuminating the scene in the desert.
The giant was still moving forward tirelessly, as if he would never stop, leaving behind deep footprints that were then buried by the wind and sand. Only the echoes that resounded through the world like an earthquake indicated his existence.
Chu Xiuyan listened to the sound of camel bells ringing in his ears, fell back into the giant's eye sockets, sat cross-legged, patted the dark stone pretending to be an eyeball with one hand, supported his chin with the other hand to look at the scenery outside, and said: "Big guy, why is there no one coming to the car at night? It's so quiet, it's too lonely. How much do you earn a day? Is the only music in the car camel bells? Can this attract new customers? Here, listen to me, turn the camel bells into the tune of Good Luck, I guarantee that you will be on the top of the list in three days, beat your colleagues in five days, and rush into the dead end to beat the boss in ten days. How about it? By the way, do you know how to sing Good Luck? Tsk tsk tsk, I can tell you are lucky, right? Well, watch me sing a song for you on the spot!"
Chu Xiuyan cleared his throat and began to sing loudly. His resonant voice completely drowned out the sound of the camel bells.
The system is giving him? Accompaniment in his mind.
The giant, whose face showed no emotion at all, continued to walk in silence, as if he had no thoughts or feelings. However, the boy hiding in his left eye suddenly made a broken voice, and the piercing and sharp sound forced the surrounding nocturnal animals to flee madly, and various tiny screams continued.
And no creature could detect the giant walking silently... Wei? Maybe? He sprained his ankle.
When the day dawned, Chu Xiuyan, who had sung enthusiastically all night, finally calmed down and rested in the giant's eye.
But what he didn't realize was that he was bombarded by a toneless voice. The camel bells that sounded all night... seemed to have a different frequency, like a certain song, and it was out of tune.
Chu Xiuyan? I don't know.
He was tired of singing and ready to take a rest.
Only the system ruthlessly recorded the reality that the host had sprained the giant's ankle and the camel's bell was out of tune. Are the five notes in the brackets correct? All brackets.
…
In the scorching desert, a collection team is busy collecting rare blood sand.
Their equipment is unique. Their whole bodies are covered with heavy protective clothing, with special metal helmets and gloves on the outside. They have multifunctional collection tools hanging around their waists and special non-slip sand boots on their feet. They are fully armed and collect important energy for the movement of the Kingdom Fortress in a bloody sand.
——Blood sand.
One of the three great monsters in the desert, the Ascetic, would drop blood-colored rain when moving. The high concentration of blood crystal energy contained in it would increase the pollution level of the entire area. However, this high level of pollution would not last long, from half a day to three days. The area polluted by the Ascetic would return to normal... It was as if the desert itself had the ability to purify matter.
This is extremely disadvantageous to the kingdom, as the technology they possess is almost entirely based on blood crystal energy, but there are very few exotic beasts in the desert, and they are good at hiding, making them difficult to capture.
Therefore, following the Ascetic to collect high-concentration blood sand became one of the options for the Desert Kingdom, and the rest of what needed to be done was to collect rare ores, meat, edible plants, and the location of new water sources, etc.
The gathering team is the largest and most dangerous team in the kingdom, accounting for almost one seventh of the population.
The number of people in this collection team located 3,000 meters southeast of the Kingdom Fortress is only ten, which is the minimum requirement for the establishment of a collection team.
The leader of this collection team is called O'White. He is an old man with a strong body, full muscles, short and hard stubble and a faint graying face.
He was very experienced. When the other team members were still busy collecting blood sand, he noticed that the sand grains had an abnormal vibration frequency, which was different from the normal movement of wind-blown sand.
He frowned, squatted down, and gently touched the sand with his hand. The sand particles jumped more obviously, as if conveying some kind of information.
O'White's mind moved, and he stood up quickly and gave orders to the team members in the distance: "Lie down and hide! Who is in the car? Fire the expulsion missiles quickly! Leopold is coming?!"
His teammates howled, "Brother, you called those weird names again?! That's obviously the prisoner!", while quickly digging a hole far away from the bloody sand and burying themselves in it.
Immediately, the teammates on the collection vehicle also pressed the launcher, and three blue expulsion bombs rose into the air more than ten meters high, exploding with bangs, and a large cloud of thick smoke instantly enveloped the place where they were.
O'White also buried himself in the sand, then took out a telescope and observed the end of the desert from afar.
About ten minutes later, as he silently observed, a terrifying giant that almost touched the sky gradually appeared in the hot air, slowly walking towards him step by step. The ground shook more and more violently, and the hot sand made breathing more and more suffocating.
The wave-like air seemed to distort the figure of the giant as well.
According to O'White's experience, giants don't like the smell of expelling bullets, and they will turn away.
In the past twenty years, this method has never been wrong.
However, this time, his experience failed.
The giant seemed to be unaware of the existence of the expulsion missile and was slowly moving towards Owhite, as if... he had a clear goal.
"O White, is this giant? Is it? Is it? Coming in our direction? Didn't it see the repellent bomb? Or? Didn't the smoke cover up our scent? Or? Should we fire another one?"
Another team member noticed something unusual and asked O'White nervously through his headset.
O'White stared closely at the giant who was approaching step by step. After confirming that the other party really showed no signs of turning around, he said "wait" to his teammates in the team channel, and then he suddenly got out of the sand. He ignored his teammates' exclamations and rushed directly out of the thick smoke. Under the sun, he swung the khaki-colored cloak in his hand towards the giant to attract his attention.
"Hey! Leopold—"
He? He shouted, swinging his cape as he ran away from his teammates.
Then, what O'White didn't expect was that the giant suddenly increased his speed, and in just a few seconds he was less than 200 meters away from him.
Then, He stopped? .
Owyte also gradually realized that the giant did not seem to be hostile. He was a little happy and a little sad. With mixed emotions, he stepped back to see the giant's face, and said cautiously: "Leopold, what's wrong with you?"
The giant remained silent. He slowly raised his hand and aimed it at his left eye. Then he paused and moved his hand to his head. Then he began to move his hand to his shoulders, forearms, ears, etc. His movements became faster and faster, as if he was trying to grab something, but he never succeeded.
O'White frowned, looked for a long time, and suddenly understood something. He asked seriously, "Leopold, are you here to ask me for help because you have fleas?"
giant:"……"
