Chapter 21
Wen Bei glanced at him warningly, and there were ripples in the cat's eyes with small hooks at the end of his eyes. Not only was he not threatening, but he made people feel itchy.
Qiu Tin chuckled softly, his eyes innocent.
But he didn't let go of his hand.
If you can’t eat it for now, then just give it a try.
After tea time, they set off.
The car whose windows were previously pierced by the Filthy Chameleon was modified by Ji Mingyuan and barely had another layer of windows sealed.
Wen Bei didn't expect the old man in front of him to drive, so he took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat.
If possible, he didn't want this person to go with him.
Who knows what his 100% pollution level actually means.
But he would be even more worried if he was allowed to stay in the hotel.
Although he was bound, as the innkeeper, the binding runes might be ineffective without him.
If he gets bored by then, he might even tear the hotel down.
Even though they had only known each other for a few days, Wen Bei was absolutely certain that he was someone who could do such a thing.
Even in the bumpy car, the man still looked elegant and gentlemanly. Sitting in the back seat, he would look at Wen Bei with admiration from time to time.
Hidden beneath his eyes is a deep desire, like a whirlpool that can suck people in if they are not careful.
It was the first time that Wenbei saw someone sitting in his own car without changing his expression.
Suddenly I felt a little more confident in my driving skills.
Apart from the steering wheel drifting a little and the accelerator being pressed a little too hard, his driving skills are still very good.
At the same time, while driving, he was also paying attention to the filth nearby, but he unexpectedly found that this time it went smoothly and no filth dared to approach them.
If it was just a coincidence at first, Wen Bei was certain of this fact when a filthy mantis with a dead bird skewered on its limb jumped over and saw them, and was so frightened that it didn't even care about its prey and just threw it away and ran away.
He was not naive enough to think that this was a coincidence. The only possibility was the enemy behind him.
Feeling the gaze from the rearview mirror, Qiu Ting leaned back in a good mood: "Hmm?"
Wen Bei withdrew his gaze, his eyes darkening.
He really wanted to know what Qiu Tinge's special ability was.
These filthy things avoided them, leaving him no room to tempt them.
...
Without the interference of filth, the original two-day journey was compressed to one and a half days.
Wen Bei looked at the map provided by Ji Mingyuan, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He decided to stop the car and rest.
They had already spent the night, and all they had to do was drive for a few more hours to reach the entrance of the base.
The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that he still hadn't figured out Qiu Ting's trump card.
Could his superpowers be related to the mysterious black fog?
While thinking, Wen Bei took out some bread from his backpack and ate it, and at the same time, he did not forget to throw a piece to Qiu Ting.
Qiu Ding lowered his eyes and stared at the piece of buttered bread for a while, as if he was picking at something, and then he slowly began to eat.
He even ate well throughout the day.
Filthy creatures cannot eat normal human food.
Wen Bei felt that the mystery surrounding him was growing bigger and bigger.
Perhaps his gaze this time was a little too blatant. Qiu Ting put down the bread on his lips and looked back at him again. There was no emotion in his red eyes, and he raised the corners of his mouth mechanically: "What's wrong?"
Wen Bei: "The filth around here doesn't dare to come near us. Is that your problem?"
Qiu Tin shrugged: "I thought you liked this."
"It does feel good." Wen Bei replied lightly.
Although it is not against my will, it is perfunctory.
Qiu Tinge stopped talking and stared at him, his brows slightly furrowed, then relaxed again: "I can be more restrained."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head back with an expressionless face.
Who made him angry?
Wen Bei just felt confused.
But he could feel that after Qiu Ding finished speaking, the atmosphere around him changed subtly.
This place is no longer safe.
Wen Bei stood up: "Let's go."
As soon as the car started and left the area, Wen Bei immediately understood what the man meant by his words.
Filthy things began to target them.
If Wen Bei dared to come out of the hotel, it was impossible that he was completely unprepared.
Before leaving, he exchanged crystals for some guns in the hotel shop.
The guns in the store are very expensive, a heavy machine gun costs two thousand crystals.
Wen Bei worked hard to save up 4,500 crystals, but half of it was deducted when he bought the equipment.
Fortunately, before he left, he instructed Ji Mingyuan to temporarily set the price of overnight rooms in the hotel at 5,000 crystals per night. As long as the customers came, he could make a lot of money back.
The hotel's rules show that the best way to reduce pollution is to stay in a hotel room. No one will refuse this option, even if the price is a little higher.
The quality of the products produced in the hotel shop is also guaranteed.
Wen Bei put the gun to the window of the driver's seat. After a series of loud explosions, the ugly mutated frog in front was beaten into a puddle of mud.
A mixture of blue and green slime condensed on the ground.
More mutant earthworms emerged from the ground and feasted on the mucus.
Wen Bei has become accustomed to this disgusting feast.
He turned his face away, stepped on the accelerator and left the vicinity.
It was beginning to get dark, and in order to make it easier for the mercenaries who were out on missions to return home, the base had set up underground camps in several locations close to the entrance.
Although it cannot resist pollution, it can prevent attacks from filth to a certain extent.
Wen Bei successfully found one by following Ji Mingyuan's map.
It was originally an air-raid shelter in the suburbs.
Now a large circle of iron has been built outside, and it can only be opened if you know the password provided by the base.
Wen Bei quickly entered a string of numbers and the door opened to him.
I didn't expect that there was already someone under the air-raid shelter.
It was a woman with a hungry, yellow face and a man with small eyes and a shifty look.
When the woman saw him, her face showed fear and she trembled and hid back.
The man showed his vigilance: "Are they mercenaries from the base?"
He reached for the gun to load, but didn't aim it.
This is a test, but also a signal that they don't want to make enemies.
If you point a gun directly at someone, a fierce fight is likely to be unavoidable.
Outside the base is an area where morality has completely declined. When different mercenary teams run into each other, they will remain vigilant regardless of whether they have any friendship in the base.
Because they were killed outside the base, no one can seek justice for the victims.
In order to steal missions and money, many mercenaries will choose to attack their compatriots outside the base. They may be drinking with you in the base one day, and cut off your head outside the base the next day.
Apart from mercenaries, almost no one would appear outside the base or safe zone.
This is the normal reaction of the man, and the woman's fear seems strange.
Wen Bei took in the two people's completely different reactions, but his expression remained unchanged: "No, I escaped from the nearby 018 safe zone."
This safe zone is the one where Fang Dashan originally stayed. The news of the dissolution of this large safe zone is already known to everyone in the base.
After all, there are so many people in a safe zone nearby, so it is normal for someone to be lucky enough to escape all the way here.
This was the speech he had thought of long ago.
Sure enough, the man's reaction was just as he expected, one of disbelief.
Li Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Then how do you know the password to the temporary camp?"
The base changes the password of the temporary camp every once in a while, and only the mercenaries and lawful army at the base know this information.
Wen Bei: "I met a kind mercenary team on the road. They told me about it. The captain's name seemed to be... Huang Qian."
Sure enough, after hearing this answer, Li Shu completely believed what he said.
He couldn't help but mutter, "Why does that woman like to meddle in other people's business so much?"
Taking advantage of the fact that Huang Qian was not here, Li Shu dared to say anything.
He looked down on women from the bottom of his heart. This was an arrogant character he developed before the end of the world.
Even though there are many powerful women in the base, who make up half of the number of polluters, he still thinks so.
After saying that, he still felt unsatisfied and kicked the woman next to him to vent his anger.
The woman opened her eyes wide and did not run away even after being beaten. She just hid quietly in the corner.
Wen Bei pretended not to notice that he was being disliked.
He opened his backpack to drink some water, and when he picked it up, he found that the lid of the cup was a little tight.
Due to his many years of work experience, his strength is quite good among ordinary men. However, his wrists were a little sore after driving for a whole day. He didn't want to put in any effort and just wanted to exchange for a bottle of water, so he simply gave the bottle of water to the man next to him.
Qiu Ting gave him a cold look, took the water, and easily unscrewed the bottle cap.
Then handed it back.
Wenbei:?
The author has something to say:
Qiu Tin: Angry, but obedient.
