Chapter 189 Chapter 191 What is this
"Sister Rong, which direction are we going now?" Wang Lin asked.
Rong Xianxian and her companions stopped about ten miles away from the fire site. The road they were going to take was now engulfed in flames.
The fire was raging, and the flames had dyed the sky blood red. The safe zone troops doing missions nearby were already moving in this direction.
The source of the fire was the gasoline. Today the weather is clear and windless. The nearby terrain is open, with many sandy and gravel hills and not many trees or other flammable materials. It should not burn for a long time. By the time it takes to go back and choose another route, the fire here would probably have been under control. Rong Xianxian looked at the map and decided to proceed as planned.
"Let's not leave for now. Let's wait here for Alie to join us." Rong Xianxian and the others drove the car into the woods on both sides of the road and hid it.
They left in a hurry in the morning. The two children had some snacks on the way, but Rong Xianxian and the others didn't eat anything. It was already past breakfast time and they were hungry.
When they set out early in the morning, Rong Xianxian steamed rice in the rice cooker in the RV's open kitchen. The rice had already been cooked and was still being heated.
There were many dead branches and leaves in the woods. Rong Xianxian called out and prepared to cook. Several people immediately took action. Wang Lin skillfully set up the stove and started a fire.
"Alie, how are things going over there?" Rong Xianxian asked Cui Lie about the situation through the sound transmission jade talisman.
"Bang bang bang" there was a burst of intense gunfire, and "boom boom" there was a dull explosion, "It's basically done! My car was scrapped, so I changed it." Cui Lie might be running, and his breathing was uneven when he spoke, but there was a calmness and stability in his voice.
"Do you need our help?" Rong Xianxian asked with concern.
"No need, don't worry, no one will be able to catch up with us soon." An angry shout came from Cui Lie's side, he was so angry and exhausted that he shouted hoarsely.
"Okay then! We haven't arrived at the agreed meeting place yet. We encountered an ambush on the road. The road has turned into a sea of fire and we can't get through for the time being. We are currently in the woods to the north, ten miles away from the fire. When you're done over there, come directly to find us." Rong Xianxian quickly explained the situation here.
"Okay, see you later." Cui Lie said briefly, and the two cut off contact.
It is true that killing and arson can win the gold belt. The team that tried to rob Rong Xianxian and his team just now not only failed to get what they wanted, but also lost their lives. As the winner, Rong Xianxian's team reaped a lot of rewards.
It was not known whether this civilian team was exceptionally powerful or just had good luck, but the compartments of the two pickup trucks were filled with supplies, including about a dozen 100-liter barrels of gasoline, some miscellaneous daily necessities, and a monster corpse. Although it was just a common young minotaur and had a low exchange value in the safe zone, it was still a good gain for a civilian expedition team. All of these had now become the spoils of Rong Xianxian and her team.
The meat of the Minotaur is tender and fresh. The blood on the wound of the one in front of him has not dried yet, so it is very fresh. Rong Xianxian has checked it and found that it has not been tampered with. It is perfect for cooking. It is a top-quality fresh ingredient, healthy, nutritious and delicious.
The Minotaur was dissected and the tender and juicy parts were cut into strips of meat of appropriate thickness. These strips were shiny in color and had pattern-like textures that looked pleasing to the eye. A cast iron plate was placed on the fire to heat it up, and the meat strips were placed on it for frying and grilling. With the sizzling sound of oil, the red and white strips of meat instantly smelled fragrant, and the smell of barbecue filled the nose. Everyone could only feel their saliva being secreted constantly, their stomachs were empty, and they were starving.
Leaving the barbecue to Wang Lin, Rong Xianxian took a piece of tender meat with alternating fat and lean parts, minced it, sprinkled it with salt, pepper, and pepper water, and mixed it with egg white (wild bird eggs) to make meatballs. This was for the children. Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo both loved meatballs. The rest of the meat was cut into large chunks and thrown into a large iron pot, and then the finished stewing meat ingredients were added and stewed.
"Sister Rong, do you think what that person just said is true?" Wang Qirui sat there eating barbecue, enduring it again and again, and finally couldn't help but ask.
Xia Kai couldn't help but stop stirring the charcoal fire, then continued stirring as if nothing had happened, but his ears couldn't help but prick up.
"First, I don't know him, and second, I can't read minds. How can I know whether what he said is true or false?" Rong Xianxian glanced at Wang Qirui with amusement.
"What if what he said is true? Wouldn't he be innocent then?" Wang Qirui said cautiously, his eyes somewhat conflicted.
Rong Xianxian stopped what she was doing and looked at Wang Qirui.
"Arui, are you kidding me? They wanted to kill people and rob, and we are the victims. If it weren't for Sister Rong's quick reaction, all of us would have been burned to charcoal by now. Now you sympathize with the enemy?" Wang Lin looked at Wang Qirui in disbelief.
"Those people did deserve it, but the driver who begged for mercy was forced to do so. He is also a victim!" Wang Qirui muttered softly with his eyes wandering.
"Why are you so naive? You believe everything he says. Do you have a way to prove that what he says is true? How can you be sure that he is not making up lies to save his life?" Wang Lin said speechlessly.
Wang Qirui glanced at Rong Xianxian. She was concentrating on grilling meat. She looked normal and had no reaction to their conversation.
"We'll know whether he has special abilities or not once we try. If he really has that kind of special ability, he is a rare talent. What's more, he knows where the treasure is hidden. With his cowardly look, it will be easy to control him and get those treasures, right?" Wang Qirui said unwillingly.
“…Uh…” What Wang Qirui said made sense, and Wang Lin was speechless for a moment.
Rong Xianxian sighed, what a coward! That person can judge the situation and act very well. It can be said that he is flexible, but he is definitely not a coward. As for the treasure trove, she has rare treasures on her. It is not worth it to take risks for a so-called treasure trove that she doesn’t know if it exists or is valuable.
Rong Xianxian took something out of the backpack on her back and placed it on the small table in front of the people. It was a folding table that was half a meter high, one meter long, and seventy centimeters wide, and was easy to carry.
"What is this?" Wang Lin took it curiously.
The thing that Rong Xianxian took out was small and exquisite, in a cone shape, and looked like an earplug.
"I don't know. Has anyone of you seen this thing?" Rong Xianxian asked the others.
Everyone else shook their heads.
"Have you heard of long-distance sound collectors?" Rong Xianxian asked again.
