Chapter 75: Weighing the Balance
Qin Zhiyu took Jiang Mo for a walk, stopping as they went, and during the time they shot two wild rabbits as a snack, they kept walking until the evening.
"The time has come. Let's go."
"Huh? What? Where are you going?"
Qin Zhiyu took Jiang Mo back to the pile of stones during the day.
“So this is it!”
"Hush - be quiet."
Qin Zhiyu and Jiang Mo were lying on the ground. This was the depression she found during the survey.
The two of them lay quietly on the ground. She had discovered during the day that there was a lot of feces of unknown creatures along the way.
The feces are distributed in a very regular pattern, and it is obvious that they are not from the same creature.
The reason she went around in circles was to determine the walking trajectory of the lizardmen. She did not deliberately move towards the place where the lizardmen's feces were densely concentrated.
It would be so embarrassing to encounter a large group of lizardmen in broad daylight. Not only would we not be able to defeat them, but we might not even be able to escape with Jiang Mo.
"Can we really wait until the Lizard Man? I'm so nervous."
"Don't be nervous, breathe more steadily."
"Okay. Okay."
Half an hour later.
Click, click...
Coming. Qin Zhiyu gave Jiang Mo a look.
A huge black shadow with a half-meter long tail slowly walked towards the pile of stones.
"Physical examination Seti Apu..."
Although neither of them could understand what the lizard man was saying, they could still do reading comprehension.
From the way he looked around and the way he rearranged the pile of stones, it could be determined that he was looking for the lizardman they had killed earlier.
Jiang Mo winked and hinted at Qin Zhiyu, "Go or not?"
Qin Zhiyu asked her to be patient.
She planned to wait a little longer to see whether the alien would go back to report the situation or continue to stand guard without paying attention to it.
The alien cursed as he put the stones in place, slapped the ground angrily with his tail, and turned away.
"Follow me." Qin Zhiyu whispered to Jiang Mo after seeing the lizard man walk for a while.
"You're following too closely." Jiang Mo gestured to Qin Zhiyu using his hands and feet.
"You can't see it any farther away." Qin Zhiyu also said in a low voice.
"I can see, my eyes are good." Jiang Mo pulled Qin Zhiyu and pointed to his eyes.
Qin Zhiyu believed Jiang Mo's words and stopped following. She couldn't help but nod secretly in her heart, thinking that she had indeed picked up a "treasure".
After her eyesight is enhanced, her attribute values will definitely not be weak.
But in the dark of night, Jiang Mo's eyesight was actually a kilometer better than hers. It had to be said that he was gifted.
As they followed, they saw that the aliens were very angry. They kicked the stones on the road and made them crackle. As they walked, they also muttered in a language that the two of them could not understand, as if they were complaining.
After following for more than half an hour, the alien's figure suddenly disappeared, and a shadow appeared under the dim sky. "Have we reached the lizard man's lair?" Jiang Mo widened his eyes in surprise.
The gray-brown stone fortress cast a large shadow in the night, with its doorway staring open, its mouth wide open to them.
The two men tiptoed cautiously among the rocks and approached the stone fort.
It was not until they got a little closer and saw the grand scale of the stone fort that they couldn't help but be stunned.
The walls of the stone fortress were all carved with patterns, and lizardmen of varying sizes and heights stood in clusters in an orderly manner around the altar in the middle.
The people in the inner circle were in complicated worship postures, with the mouths of the people in the higher circles open, as if they were making some eloquent speech.
On the stone walls of the entire castle, except for those with murals, other places are engraved with totems that people worship.
After finding a good position, Qin Zhiyu went on alert.
The result immediately surprised her. There were only six lizardmen in this huge four-story castle!
Then she was filled with great joy. If there were only six lizardmen in this castle, she would take this stone fortress no matter what!
But one possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, there are only six lizardmen now.
The other lizardmen have gone out hunting, or are standing guard, etc., doing their own things with clear division of labor.
However, even if she wanted to take over the castle, with the six lizardmen now there, the stone fortress was not something she could get her hands on.
"Let's go back to my sanctuary."
"You're leaving now? You haven't done anything."
"There's still a chance, there's no need to rush."
"Oh, all right."
The two people returned the same way.
"Boss, how far is your shelter from here?"
"It's quite far. Let me give you a bicycle."
"Wow, Boss, you actually gave me such a valuable item?!"
"It's alright, let's go!"
"I'm really touched. You're riding an electric bike. Don't try to fool me!"
"Ride your bike well. It's good for your health."
"Woo woo, big man. You're a bully!"
After the two of them left the castle, they walked towards the shelter, laughing and joking all the way.
The lizardman who entered the castle seemed to sense something and looked back, but found no one.
So he walked around the stone fort twice in confusion, but still found nothing, and then reported to the leader.
It needs to have a good talk with this damn TOEFL Ercheng. It was originally its turn to be on duty, but not only did it run off to play somewhere, but it also destroyed the pile of stones and didn't even know how to put it back in place. It's not certain whether it will come back now.
The next time they kill prey, it won't be his...
"Boss, you're not the one number one on the list, are you?"
"You just gave me a bicycle and you're riding an electric bike. I don't see anyone selling electric bikes on that exchange."
"Boss, why don't you speak?"
"Silence cannot hide the truth. I guess you are number one! Even if not number one, you'll definitely be in the top three nationwide."
"Let me think about it. The first one is the Dawn Shelter, the second one is the Annual Ring 99 Shelter, and the third one is the Forest Village Shelter..."
Ever since Jiang Mo realized that Qin Zhiyu's temper was not as cold as he seemed, he seemed to have opened up his mouth. He rode his bicycle alone, not only keeping up with Qin Zhiyu's electric bike without falling behind, but also chattering endlessly.
"It seems you are not tired enough." Qin Zhiyu smiled meaningfully, suddenly increased the horsepower, and started moving forward at a speed of 50 yards.
"Wow, boss, you're cheating!"
…
"My God, is this your sanctuary?"
"A stone shelter! So huge! You're definitely a top-tier boss!"
"Let's go in!"
"Where do you put your bicycle?"
"what ever."
As soon as Wen Zhousheng opened the door of the Dawn Shelter, three cats and two aliens stood in front of the door, staring at Jiang Mo intently.
"Ah—big brother, help me!"
"What are you yelling about? Calm down."
Qin Zhiyu pulled Jiang Mo away with disgust. This outrageous person was clinging to her and was so close that she couldn't get away.
"Woo woo, them, boss, why are there these two monsters in your shelter?" Jiang Mo stuck his head out to look, boss, it's so scary, why are there aliens in the shelter.
"You are, you are a monster!" Lori couldn't bear to hear others call her a monster, because she was the most beautiful human-armed kangaroo in their tribe.
"They won't hurt you." Wen Zhousheng still didn't know what this newcomer was like.
But he has gotten used to it, because every time Qin Zhiyu goes out, he brings back all kinds of companions, and each time they are of a different species.
"Ah, good, so handsome——" Jiang Mo's fear was instantly conquered by Wen Zhousheng's handsomeness and charm. This is too high quality, so handsome, is this the boss's caring "little cotton-padded jacket"?
"Come in and wash yourself first." Qin Zhiyu pushed Jiang Mo, whose body was still stuck to her but whose soul had already flown away and landed on Wen Zhousheng.
"Mr. Zhou, you take care of her. I need to rest for a while." Qin Zhiyu's old injury has not healed yet and a new injury has arisen. Taking care of Jiang Mo really takes a lot of energy both physically and mentally.
"Okay." Wen Zhousheng smiled and invited Jiang Mo to go with him, "Let's go."
"Huff, huff!" Luo Li saw Jiang Mo leaving and made a face at her.
"Be obedient and don't make trouble." Locke said.
"Hmph." Lori was dragged away by Locke in a huff. If you ask her why she was going there, it was naturally to continue learning human language.
After washing up and lying on the bed, Qin Zhiyu recalled his experiences in the past few days of the high temperature disaster. Every day he was either fighting or on the way to fight, but he never stopped for a moment.
Only by working harder can one be more down-to-earth. With this thought in mind, Qin Zhiyu fell into a deep sleep again that night.
The chaos outside did not disturb her.
"Meow! Don't catch the chickens." Qin Lan was furious and his hair stood on end. Luo Li kept catching the pair of colorful chickens that her owner brought back.
Although I didn't really hurt the two chickens, I scared them so much that they jumped up and down. What if they were scared to death from stress that day?
Then it would be a serious dereliction of duty for the third-in-command of the shelter!
Apart from sticking to Wen Zhousheng, Qin You just took care of the fish in the pond, and didn't even help its mother to take care of this big guy!
Wen Zhousheng brought Jiang Mo to the bathroom on the second floor.
There are no separate rooms in the shelter, but a screen can be placed next to the living room to separate ten square meters as an independent space for Jiang Mo to live in.
While Jiang Mo was getting herself ready, he went upstairs to set up a "guest room" for Jiang Mo.
Yes, in his mind, Qin Lan and the others were naturally permanent residents, and Locke and Lori could also be considered as reserve residents.
But Jiang Mo, although Zhiyu has not told him her plans yet, as a human being with independent thinking, he can only be a guest forever.
Jiang Mo was not idle either. The first step she took into the shelter felt like she was in a dream. It was a world of difference from her shabby little wooden house.
Solid iron doors, thick and airtight walls, comfortable and tidy living rooms... and rooms along the way where, even though the doors are closed, you can still faintly hear the sounds of mechanical processing.
The shelter also houses three cats and two alien species. Apart from Qin Zhiyu, there are only two living people: her and Wen Zhousheng, who is so beautiful that he seems beyond mortal reach.
Even if she was too thick-skinned, she couldn't help but pay attention to the uniqueness of this shelter. She didn't even know what the shelter was called.
She didn't ask, for she was afraid that the answer from the deepest part of her heart was something she wasn't ready to accept.
"Am I worth staying here? What can I bring to such a luxurious shelter?" Jiang Mo asked himself, but he really couldn't explain it clearly.
But precisely because of her ordinariness, she felt that there was nothing to covet. Looking in the mirror, she also felt that there was nothing to covet in this face.
"Forget it. Let's take it one step at a time!" Jiang Mo sighed and walked out of the bathroom. Just take it one day at a time. Anyway, it's worth it to have such a handsome guy around!
"I'll have to bear with you for a while and live in the living room partition. When the shelter is upgraded, I'll reserve a room for you." The handsome guy said as he stood at the corner.
"Okay, that's fine with me. I'm very satisfied to have a place to live. Thank you!" Jiang Mo's requirements were not high. She had no problem with these conditions at all. The shelter could provide all the needs for food, drink, defecation and urination. It was also beautiful and spacious and free of charge. How many people would wish for it.
Otherwise, if Qin Zhiyu had taken her in, she wouldn't know how pitiful she would be wandering outside now.
But when she lay alone in bed, she still felt a little sad. She was wandering around without a home. Would she have to live under someone else's roof from now on? She would be a poor little cabbage that no one loved.
Ah, Jiang Mo, who felt so pitiful, fell into hibernation quietly with a group of animals in the shelter.
But after the natural disaster, Jiang Mo, who had never had such a high-quality sleep before, did not expect that after waking up, there would be another more difficult decision waiting for her to make.
[I have detected that the opponent's shelter level is absolutely suppressed. I have stayed in their shelter for over 6 hours, and no negative emotions such as hostility or fear have been detected.]
[Test completed, meets the conditions for opening an affiliated shelter. Please confirm whether to become an affiliated shelter of Dawn Shelter?]
[Note: The subsidiary shelter can be integrated with the other shelter, or it can be built within one kilometer.]
[Subsidiary shelters cannot attack the main shelter, their level cannot exceed that of the main shelter, and they can enjoy the main shelter's protection bonus.]
【Please make your selection within 24 hours. Exceeding the limit will be deemed as automatic abandonment. 】
[In addition, this prompt is only visible to the decision-makers of the affiliated shelters.]
…
Wen Zhousheng has finished all the courses in which he gave Locke and Lori IQ and learning ability tests.
The test results show that the two sisters have the equivalent intelligence and emotional quotient level of human college students.
It is the stage where the baby has fully developed but has not yet been able to fully develop and utilize its potential.
What will follow next is another kind of course.
Zhiyu handed the two-armed kangaroos to him. Naturally, he had to treat the important task of enlightening them well so as not to let Zhiyu down.
Every time Wen Zhousheng saw Qin Zhiyu, he was exhausted and his body was covered with scars.
Recently, he fell asleep as soon as he came back. Although he was full of energy, his keen observation ability could still tell that Qin Zhiyu was very tired.
Zhiyu works so hard every day, and as an artificial intelligence robot, he can figure it out.
But every time he thought about this, an unknown program would appear in his memory stick and disrupt his thinking.
He hadn't cracked the unknown program last time, so why did it appear again now?
But he could be sure that there was no problem with his program or the fuselage.
