Chapter 77 A love rival has arrived?
After Wang Hao's death, the former deputy captain of the logistics team took over Wang Hao's position as captain, and Zhu Ci temporarily took over as deputy captain.
The captain's name is Yang Xi. Unlike trash like Wang Hao, he is a man who looks about the same age as Zhu Ci. He is as thin as a bamboo pole, has a good personality, and can chat with anyone.
On the way, Yang Qi was very interested in Momo and said that he wanted to sit on it and experience it. Qin Shiyu was not very happy, but because there were so many people, he agreed.
For some reason, Xu Zhiyang didn't like this person very much either.
The reason was simple: Yang Lu always talked to Zhu Ci intentionally or unintentionally.
However, he would just say "hmm" in his greetings and was unwilling to say more.
"How old is Brother Xu this year? He looks very young."
Yang Xi came over to talk again.
Xu Zhiyang wore a hat and leaned lazily in Zhu Ci's arms, "I've grown up."
Yang Xi smiled and said, "Really? I really envy you two. You have a very good relationship. Last night I saw several people trying to talk to Brother Zhu, but he ignored them all."
"Really?" Xu Zhiyang raised an eyebrow at him.
He said shockingly: "My brother is a face-savvy person."
Zhu Ci felt relieved when he heard the word "brother". His eyes were all on the boy, and his lust was exposed without any concealment.
"Yangyang, shout again." Zhu Ci pinched his earlobe.
"What are you shouting?"
"What do you think?"
Xu Zhiyang rolled his eyes and asked, "How should I know?"
Zhu Ci retreated and said, "Then you act like a spoiled child."
Xu Zhiyang stared at Zhu Ci with her brown eyes for a while and found that this man was becoming more and more shameless, and was listening with an expectant look on his face.
With the intention of disgusting Yang Xi, Xu Zhiyang actually spoke in a soft voice.
"Oh, brother, you are so bad!"
Qin Shiyu: “…”
It's hard being a kid...
Yang Yu: “…”
My ears are dirty...
Zhu Ci burst out laughing and hugged Xu Zhiyang and laughed for a long time.
Xu Zhiyang: "...Don't laugh!"
"Well..." Zhu Ci cleared his throat: "I won't laugh anymore."
Yang Xi finally calmed down and didn't say anything along the way.
He hoped that there would be one or two evolved pets in the base, but Yang Qi was not yet qualified to use them, so the other psychics who were accompanying him for training drove behind Momo.
The mountain looked very close, but it took half a day to reach the foot of the mountain. There were too many mutated plants on the road, making it difficult for vehicles to drive, so everyone walked up the mountain.
"There are many animals on this mountain. We come here often. You should be careful. The child should stay on the dog as much as possible and not come down." Yang Lu instructed.
Zhu Ci raised his chin slightly: "Yeah."
The team advanced in a straight line, with Yang Qi and two people with special abilities leading the way, holding axes in their hands to chop off the plants that were in the way.
Xu Zhiyang and Zhu Ci were at the end of the team, and Momo followed behind them.
"Tired?"
Zhu Ci held Xu Zhiyang's hand tightly and looked back.
"I'm not tired, it's just quite cold here. Has the temperature dropped recently?"
"Well, the temperature has only been over ten degrees these days."
Xu Zhiyang sighed: "I don't know when we can reach the imperial capital. My brother must be very worried about me."
"Soon, no rush."
Xu Zhiyang smiled at Zhu Ci, and suddenly stepped on a stone, sprained her ankle and almost fell down. Fortunately, she held onto the tree next to her with one hand.
"What's wrong? Did you sprain your ankle?" Zhu Ci stopped and helped him up.
"Well...it's okay...hiss!" Xu Zhiyang suddenly withdrew his hand, only to see a deep wound on the tip of his finger, with blood dripping.
He looked up at the tree beside him and found that the tree was covered with vines as thick as hair, tightly wrapped around the tree.
Yang Xi heard the sound and turned around to see something on the tree. "Oh, it's okay. That's a mutant dodder. It has barbs on it. Be careful."
Because of his position, Yang Qi did not see that Xu Zhiyang's finger was bleeding, and he continued to move forward with his men.
Xu Zhiyang raised his eyes and saw that the blood that was originally on the dodder had been slowly absorbed.
"Come on, I'll hold you."
Zhu Ci put his arm around Xu Zhiyang's waist with one hand, which did not affect his walking at all. Sometimes he could even carry the person across the bumpy road.
Xu Zhiyang slowly clenched his bleeding hand into a fist. After about a second or two, he opened his fingers again, and his skin had returned to normal.
"So soon?"
Zhu Ci was a little surprised: "Your ability has improved."
"Well, it's improved a bit."
Xu Zhiyang absentmindedly looked back at the plants wrapped around the entire tree, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
He seemed to feel as if the tree was suffocating, slowly rotting and dying, as if he was the one being entangled.
At the end of the team, Momo and Qin Shiyu walked over and gradually went away.
The forest suddenly became quiet.
The wind had almost died down.
Suddenly, the slender vines on the trunk moved, gave up the towering tree, and slowly...slowly...retracted from the trunk.
The dodder seeds condensed and entangled, and a human shape emerged.
.
"Such a big rabbit, it will be enough for us to eat for a long time!"
Yang Qi ordered people to lift up the giant hare whose neck had been cut, and felt its fire energy with some regret.
"We don't have any fire energy users here, so we can only let the energy dissipate."
Xu Zhiyang stood behind Zhu Ci, silently curled the corners of his lips, and moved his fingers slightly. The fire energy that was invisible to the naked eye floated into his body.
Zhu Ci tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
"If we get two more of these, the fire energy can reach the first level."
Xu Zhiyang was quite satisfied with the result.
"If I had pried open a few more zombie skulls last time and taken out the fire energy crystals to absorb them, I would have advanced faster."
Qin Shiyu lay on Momo's back and sighed.
"It's not that the Gold Energy Zombie King is too terrifying. We can't defeat him. Only gold energy can restrain gold energy. His body has materialized into metal, so only lightning can contain him."
After saying that, Qin Shiyu looked at the psychics not far away, hushed them and stopped talking.
Xu Zhiyang smiled and was about to turn around to find her boyfriend when suddenly a powerful energy wave came from above her head.
He reacted extremely quickly and jumped far back.
At the same time, a long stick-like object pierced the ground where he had just stood.
Xu Zhiyang looked up and was horrified to find that it was a huge long-legged spider.
The legs are seven or eight meters long, and the eight legs move very quickly.
Finding that it had not stabbed the prey, the leg moved to another place and screams continued to ring out.
Xu Zhiyang made a quick decision: "Momo! Take Xiaoyu away! Come back to me when it's safe!"
"Woof woof!"
Momo turned around abruptly and took Qin Shiyu away.
The scene was too chaotic. What was even more troublesome was that Zhu Ci had just taken a few steps forward and the two of them were separated by trees.
Xu Zhiyang couldn't see where Zhu Ci was, she could only feel his wood energy.
Who knew that at this time, one wave of troubles would come after another.
A green shadow slid down quickly through the dense forest!
It was a green mantis, waving two large sickles in front of it and slashing towards Xu Zhiyang!
The mantis has a strong jumping ability. Before Xu Zhiyang could react, he saw the monster was already in front of him and was about to be beheaded!
At this moment, vines as thick as hair wrapped around Xu Zhiyang's slender waist and pulled him back suddenly!
