Chapter 39 Kissed his fingers.
Lin Mian sat in the car, looking through the window in the direction of the deserted forest. The sound of fighting had stopped, and he guessed that the man would come out soon.
Just as he thought of this, he saw the other person walking out from the woods, throwing crystals one after another in his hand.
He opened the car window and leaned over it, leaning most of his body out. "Brother."
The young man's bright appearance in the sunshine made people feel happy. Jiang Yan smiled and strode over, stopping at the window. He looked up at him and handed him the crystal in his hand. "Here."
Lin Mian took it, thought for a moment, and handed it back, "Brother Ji, you can use this one."
After the previous evolution, his space is now enough for them to use for the time being. The other party is also a mutant, and he also needs to be strengthened. He can't always give these crystals to himself.
Jiang Jie lowered his eyes, but his focus was on the white fingers holding the crystal. Perhaps it was because he often stayed in the car, in such hot weather, he had become tanned, but the other person's skin was still very white.
He lowered his head and kissed the fingers in front of him.
Lin Mian's ears felt hot, and he quickly pulled his hand back, "Brother Jie..."
Jiang Jie remained calm, as if nothing had happened. "Just take it if I tell you to. Don't waste your time talking to me."
Lin Mian curled up the fingers that he had kissed, nodded obediently with red ears.
Jiang Jie then turned around and went to the car door to get in.
He walked over to the driver's seat and sat down, saying, "Absorbing the crystals this time probably won't have the same significant effect as last time."
Such a large-scale evolution was only due to the first absorption of high-level crystals. Now that his superpowers have grown, more energy is required, and the effect of the B-level crystals will not be so obvious.
"I know." Lin Mian himself knew it well, after all, it was his body that changed.
Jiang Jie nodded and started the car.
They had to follow their previous route and go through the village again to get back to the fork in the road they had taken previously.
When we approached the place where the mutants had appeared before, we saw the two mutants again, and there were several other villagers around them.
It seemed that several people had just cleaned up the bodies of the mutants and were cleaning up the remaining blood on the ground to avoid attracting other mutants.
The two men's keen hearing allowed them to detect the returning RV from a distance, and the dark-skinned man, who thought they had already left, was quite surprised.
He quickly took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and waved as the RV approached, saying loudly, "Brother, thank you for what you did just now... cough, ugh!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the RV sped past him, raising a cloud of dust for him.
After clearing my throat and looking up, I could only see the back of the other car. I was so angry that I almost laughed for a moment.
Xiao Liu, who walked up to him, sighed and said, "Brother Qiangzi, do all big guys come and go like the wind?"
The dark-skinned man turned around and pushed away the head that was leaning towards him. "Go sweep your floor."
After the people left, he looked at the RV that was already going away, and inexplicably felt a little envious that he could do whatever he wanted in such a world.
*
After driving along the route for more than an hour, Jiang Jie and his team successfully found the farm.
When they saw the outline of the building from a distance, their keen sense of smell allowed them to smell a disgusting odor.
Lin Mian's face wrinkled and he covered his nose with his hands.
After that, he turned around to look at Jiang Jie who was driving, unbuckled his seat belt, leaned out, and helped cover his.
Jiang Yan glanced at him sideways, a smile in his eyes. He freed a hand to hold his wrist and pull it down. "Does it smell so bad?"
Lin Mian nodded repeatedly, not understanding how he could remain so calm.
Of course Jiang Jie didn't like this smell either, but in his previous life, he had smelled the stench of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so he was more accustomed to it than before.
"In a place like this, alien creatures are bound to appear. In the beginning, they must have bitten a lot of ordinary animals to death, and some may have starved to death later." With such a long period of high temperature, one can imagine what the scene inside is like.
As the RV got closer, the smell became stronger.
But they could also hear the calls of some animals nearby, which meant there were still living things, although they would soon become dead.
Not far away on the roadside, there was a pig chewing grass diligently.
Lin Mian leaned forward and asked, "Why are you outside?"
"The farm must have been damaged by the Altered Items."
Jiang Jie stopped the car. The pig heard the noise and tried to escape, but was swept back by the current.
Unable to fit the living creature into the space, he controlled the water flow to break the unfortunate pig's neck.
Lin Mian immediately put it into the space, and then they had fresh meat to eat.
Jiang Jie said, "It seems that most of the animals here have gone out to look for food. We may need to look around."
Animals have the instinct to survive. If they can get out, they will not stay in the field and starve to death. Most of the corpses inside are rotten, which just saves them from seeing those disgusting scenes.
However, I haven't noticed any movement of the alien creature for the time being, so it may not be nearby.
The RV was too big and the surrounding terrain was not easy to drive, so they simply got out of the car. Lin Mian put the car into the space and took it out whenever needed, which was very convenient.
This farm is not very big. It is a small farm contracted by a private person. The location is also remote, with mostly barren forests nearby, which makes it convenient for the living animals to find food.
These livestock had been kept in captivity for a long time, so their tempers were not as wild and they would not run far outside. They followed the traces and had a relatively easy time finding them.
A pig weighs at least 100 to 200 kilograms. Even if it has become thinner due to hunger recently, its weight is still considerable. The seven or eight pigs collected in the space are enough to feed them for a long time.
They continued to search forward. Lin Mian fanned himself with his hands. He was sweating in such hot weather.
He looked at Jiang Yan who was walking in front of him. Beads of sweat were also falling from the back of his neck and sliding into his collar.
He took out a bottle of mineral water from the space, reached out and touched the man's arm, "Brother, drink some water."
Jiang Yan turned around, took the water from his hand, opened it and drank half of it. When he put it down, he looked at Rabbit who was also drinking water. His face was flushed with heat, so he reached out to touch it.
Lin Mian looked at him doubtfully.
Jiang Jie turned his palm upside down and said, "Give me your hand."
Not knowing what he wanted to do, Lin Mian still screwed the bottle cap on and put his hand on it.
Then he was stunned. It was such hot weather and they had been walking for such a long time, but the other person's palm was actually cold.
He was about to ask if he was sick when the man shook his hand, turned around and continued walking forward with a steady step, looking completely uninjured.
He blinked blankly.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after the other person shook his hand, he seemed to feel a little cooler.
He looked up. The sunlight filtering through the leaves was still blazing, making him squint. Strangely, why did it feel like the temperature had dropped?
"Look at the road." Jiang Yan saw that he raised his head and didn't know what he was looking at, so he pulled his hand towards him.
Lin Mian withdrew his gaze, stopped thinking about it, and focused on following his footsteps.
They walked around the area and saw some wild fruit bushes, but they had all been eaten clean by the starving livestock.
During the period, two dead pigs were found, which were pierced through by vines. They were almost rotten and it seemed that they were killed by the healing mutants.
Jiang Jie looked around but didn't find the alien creature. He felt a little strange. Normally, plants rarely move. Even if they do move, they stay nearby and not too far away.
There are no signs of other psychics having been here, so if they are not being cleared out, where else could they go?
He was just about to remind Lin Mian to be careful when he stopped and looked up somewhere.
Lin Mian looked over and stood behind him.
Sensing the breath of a living person, the alien creature in the distance quickly ran over. Its body was bloated, fat and big, with wrinkles of skin and flesh piled together, and there were several blood marks on its body from something being pulled out, which was very ugly.
It seems to be a mutated pig. They always have a strong appetite. The plant-like mutant was most likely eaten by it, and it is likely that it has also eaten its own kind.
Now that it finally found a living person, it was a little impatient, and there was even sticky saliva mixed with blood at the corners of its mouth.
Jiang Yan frowned in disgust, raised his hand and released a stream of water, which hit the other party directly, adding two more blood marks on its body.
It howled angrily and rushed over, trying to knock them down with its head.
Unfortunately, it was easily stopped by the water curtain and wrapped inside. Multiple streams of water were separated from it and turned into water thorns. When it was about to directly pierce it into a hedgehog, it stopped.
Jiang Jie recalled the bloody scene on the rainy night before and looked back at the little rabbit behind him.
Lin Mian looked at him in confusion.
It would be a shame if such a pair of eyes with clear black and white were dirty.
Jiang Jie snapped his fingers, and in the end only a stream of water pierced through the mutant's head, killing it.
After the water flow disappeared, the huge body of the alien creature fell to the ground like a small hill.
Lin Mian looked at its corpse, feeling a little disgusted at first, but then he felt a little sorry.
Jiang Yan, who had just received the crystal, saw his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Mian retracted his gaze, paused, and answered truthfully: "It would be great if the mutants were edible. There's so much meat."
Jiang Yan was silent for a rare moment after hearing this. "If you want to eat, it's not impossible."
The body of the mutant is full of toxins. Ordinary people cannot eat it and there is a high probability of death, but those with special abilities are immune to this toxin.
In the previous life when food was scarce, some people had tried it. It was said that the taste was very bad and one had to overcome psychological barriers.
Hearing him say this, Lin Mian glanced at the hideous and ugly alien creature again and quickly shook his head, "No, no."
The look of avoiding him made Jiang Yan laugh. He stuffed the crystal in his hand into his trouser pocket and rubbed his ear. "Let's go."
Lin Mian followed him, and the two of them walked around the corpse and headed in the other direction of the forest.
Walking in such a place was very time-consuming. They searched again and the light in the sky gradually dimmed.
At this time, there were more than 20 livestock stored in Lin Mian's space, and he had put them in a corner.
Jiang Jie felt that they had found most of the survivors, so he led his men back to the empty roadside.
Although Lin Mian had gotten used to the stench in the air, it was still suffocating.
He reached out and released the RV, saying, "Brother Ji, let's go quickly."
Jiang Jie had the same idea. The area nearby was not a good place to spend the night, so it would be best to leave as soon as possible. So this time he didn't tease him and got in the car with others.
