"So, everyone has no objection, right?" The sea breeze ruffled Lin Qingqing's hair, but the cold voice was clearly heard by everyone.
No one thought of fighting her, even though the little girl in front of them didn't look strong enough to be beaten by one of their hands.
"I... have no objection, really..." The person soaking in the sea was shivering with cold, but he didn't dare to get on the rubber boat, so he had to paddle hard with both hands.
"Alright, that's it for now. When you go back, remember to discuss this with the other people. Those who have objections still have a chance to leave now."
If you encounter any problems along the way, don't blame me for being ruthless. The team will disband after reaching the capital."
After Lin Qingqing finished speaking harshly to them, she didn't wait for their response and directly took everyone back to the space, including the one soaking in the sea.
It is better to say the ugly words in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with it later when something happens.
There is no room for negotiation in this matter. Either listen to her or get out.
They are all big shots with too many personal ideas, so we have to use tough measures.
After Lin Qingqing threw everyone back into the space, she took out the map she had asked the shop owner for while having dinner at the second base in Malaysia.
Then she took out her cell phone, turned it on, found the map she got from Li Shenghua, and compared it with the paper map.
There were no reference points around, so she could only calculate the sea area they were in based on the direction of the sun, wind speed and approximate time.
But she didn't know how long she slept in the rubber boat.
Just like when she first came.
At that time, she thought she had only slept for one night, but when she woke up, she was actually in the Strait of Malacca.
So, she must have slept for more than one day.
At this moment, the rubber boat suddenly moved. Lin Qingqing turned around and saw Qiao Mingyang with a frosty face.
Lin Qingqing ignored his dark face and asked him directly: "Do you have any way to know our approximate location now?"
Speaking of serious matters, Qiao Mingyang's tense expression relaxed a little. He frowned and said, "I don't know. I was rowing towards the northeast last night..."
There's a dragon in the far east, so returning home should be heading east, right? And the capital should be heading northeast?
Lin Qingqing handed the map to Qiao Mingyang. "The coastline of the Strait of Malacca is very long. If we don't find the right direction, our journey home will be even longer."
Qiao Mingyang nodded and took the map. "Without any reference, we can only rely on luck." He said this a little discouragingly, but it was the truth.
Lin Qingqing hesitated for a moment and handed over her phone. "This is a real-time satellite map from a while ago. It can't be shared with others."
Qiao Mingyang's character can be trusted to a certain extent, well, except when Qiao Ruoran got into trouble.
When Qiao Mingyang saw the scene captured by his phone, he immediately asked, "Can I have the phone first?"
Lin Qingqing glared at him, and Qiao Mingyang explained, "The image here is clearer. If we can find the small islands marked on the map, we can determine our location."
Lin Qingqing hesitated...
She didn't want to go out rowing. She thought it would be better to consolidate her abilities in the space. She could only reluctantly say, "...after we get ashore, you must return it to me immediately. It's almost out of power now. Can a power bank charge it?"
Veins popped out on Qiao Mingyang’s forehead: “…” Who would use a power bank to charge after it has turned into a space?
"I'll fill you up."
Without a power bank, he can use solar energy to convert electricity, and use gasoline to generate electricity in space.
However, Qiao Mingyang always liked to prepare for a rainy day. Even if he robbed China National Petroleum Corporation, he only used the electricity generated by gasoline to keep the freezer powered and the lights in the room illuminated.
"Okay, I'll go back first!" Lin Qingqing didn't care what he used to charge. In her opinion, since it was a power bank, it must be able to charge!
The sea breeze was blowing, and the coldness seemed to be able to tear the skin on the face and invade the bones and blood.
Lin Qingqing felt that she had nothing to do here anymore and didn't want to stay even for a second longer.
After returning to the space, she did not disturb anyone and appeared directly in her room on the third floor.
Her various abilities were about to advance, so she had to consolidate them when she had time. Lin Qingqing felt that no matter how powerful any external force was, it was not as reliable as one's own strength.
Be it the system or Qiao Mingyang's space, none of them truly belonged to her. She could still use them now, but she didn't know when she would lose them.
In this space, the atmosphere has become strangely quiet in the past few days.
After another day and night, Qiao Mingyang gave up traveling at night.
After all, he was not a god. After not sleeping for forty-eight hours, his eye sockets were sunken and his eyes were dull.
The speedboat could only hold four people at a time, so Qiao Mingyang took everyone out in turns to act as bodyguards. The mixed-race Eagle became the full-time driver of the speedboat.
While others can rest, he and the Eagles are always online...
In addition to unfriendly weather at sea, there will also be sharks and various strange mutated fish.
Their aggressiveness is even more terrifying than that of sharks. The lower-level ones will gather in groups, while the higher-level ones will be huge.
Fortunately, everyone is a tough guy. When the fight gets really difficult, Qiao Mingyang can still bring everyone back to the space and fly a distance alone with the power bank in the space.
A few days passed like this.
Lin Qingqing had already reorganized the arrows that Qiao Ruoran needed.
The fourth-level metal ability only requires water grinding to purify iron.
But she still needed tools to make the bow she wanted to use.
On this day, Lin Qingqing put the sorted arrows into the quiver and gave it to Qiao Ruoran.
Qiao Ruoran was in the kitchen, squatting on the floor watching Liu Qiang pickle sauerkraut and pickled radishes, and stuffing small crispy fish into his mouth.
Hearing footsteps, she turned around and saw Lin Qingqing, and handed the small bowl in her hand to Lin Qingqing, "Qingqing, come and have some, it smells so good."
Lin Qingqing glanced at the fried dried fish and knew it was Liu Qiang's work. She was deeply skeptical about the taste. "I've been having a sore throat these past two days, so you can eat it. I've made the arrow for you, where are you going to put it?"
"So soon? Hey, I'm not in a hurry to use it, but you're still listening to my brother's nonsense... He's been too busy these days and hasn't even made the bow for you."
Qiao Ruoran wanted to take the quiver, but Liu Qiang got there first. "Your hands are full of oil. Let me do it. Where are you going to put it?"
After Lin Qingqing gave the things to Liu Qiang, she clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked at Liu Qiang with her courtesy.
"I'll put it here for now! I'm not in a hurry to use it." Qiao Ruoran said casually, looked at her greasy paws, and went to wash her hands. She shook off the water droplets and asked:
"Qingqing, are you free this afternoon? Do you want to go dry fish with us?"
People who went out these days also brought fishing nets. They hung the net bags on the back of the speedboat, and when they returned to the space, they came back with full loads every day.
For the leftover seafood, we select the good-looking ones and put them in the freezer, and some of them are dried, otherwise the freezer will not be able to hold them all.
For example, a few days ago, they killed a large second-level mutant fish, weighing over a thousand pounds. The meat didn't taste good, but it would be a pity to throw it away, so they scraped off the fish meat and dried it first.
If we continue to live like this, everyone will be reluctant to leave.
After all, after returning home, it might be difficult for me to even eat a bite of rice.
"I want to make a bow myself, but I don't have the tools." Lin Qingqing stated the purpose of this trip.
She knew that Qiao Mingyang had a studio, but if she just barged in and used it, Qiao Mingyang would probably get angry again.
Ever since Qiao Mingyang said he would give her half of the inventory, Lin Qingqing found that she was much more tolerant of him. After all, he was the financial sponsor.
Before her space could take away her half of the supplies, she decided to try not to provoke Qiao Mingyang.
"Hey, my brother said he'd make a bow for you... He's been really tired these past few days, Qingqing, why don't you wait a few more days? You can use my bow first."
Qiao Ruoran brought up this matter again, with a hint of apology on her face. Her brother was really exhausted these days, otherwise she would have urged him.
"No, I just think that a bow made by myself will better suit my needs. It's okay, I will make some fine iron first, and then find a blacksmith shop when I return to my country..." Lin Qingqing said with a smile.
"Ah, can you really build it yourself? Then you can go to my brother's workshop. He has a furnace and tools! I'll take you there to have a look first. I can help you."
Qiao Ruoran immediately became excited. Watching the weapons being made was much more interesting than watching Liu Qiang drying fish.
As Qiao Ruoran spoke, she took Lin Qingqing's hand and walked out.
Liu Qiang's face turned even darker. Although he had no evidence, he knew that Lin Qingqing was definitely fooling Xiao Qiao again.
The palms and backs of his hands are all made of flesh, so he couldn't expose Lin Qingqing.
After hesitating for a moment, he followed the two women out of the kitchen.
"We are using his studio without his consent. Will he be angry?" Lin Qingqing asked Qiao Ruoran hypocritically on the way, and also tried to give her a shot of prevention.
"He dares?" Qiao Ruoran was used to being domineering in front of her brother, and she felt that Lin Qingqing was her own person!
It’s just a studio, what’s wrong with that?
"This should have been his business, but now you've done it yourself. How can he have the nerve to be angry, right, Brother Liu Qiang?"
Liu Qiang nodded woodenly, "Yeah." Qingqing's weapon is also important. Alas, Xiao Qiao is so naive. It's really worrying when she returns to China!
Everyone entered Qiao Mingyang's studio.
I realized that the space here was huge, with many operating tables scattered around.
Chemistry, biology, mechanics...
The things were neatly arranged, but Lin Qingqing was still dazzled. There were really many things she couldn't understand!
"Qingqing, just don't touch the things in my brother's laboratory. Here, the stove is over there. I'll go turn on the gas." Qiao Ruoran pointed to the north corner and went to the back door to find the gas valve.
"I'll go with you." Liu Qiang gave Lin Qingqing a look that told her to fend for herself and followed her.
Lin Qingqing made a face behind him and said, "There are people who are inhumane to the opposite sex."
The stove is two or three meters high and about two meters wide. It is semi-enclosed. After opening the simple sliding door, the unburned charcoal fire inside is revealed, and there are actually several pieces of iron blocks on the side.
Was Qiao Mingyang making something yesterday?
Lin Qingqing frowned, picked up the tongs beside her, picked out the pieces of iron and put them aside.
Qiao Ruoran's bow was made of iron, and when Lin Qingqing first acquired her superpowers, it was very difficult for her to use it.
Now that she has reached the fourth level, she can use it easily. The iron bow body is mixed with some special metals to increase its toughness and can also be used as a melee weapon.
The reason why Lin Qingqing hadn't been refining for the past two days was that she was thinking about the shape and practicality of the weapon.
She already had an idea in her mind.
The arrowheads are inlaid with five-element crystal cores, and at least five types of detachable arrowheads are refined. In addition to installing the crystal cores, she also has to install poison sacs, powerful explosives, etc.
The bow and arrow are not intended to be a regular weapon, but only used in sneak attacks and desperate situations.
