Chapter 79 Dog Skin Plaster
"Xiaoyu! Momo!"
“Second brother!”
When Qin Shiyu saw Xu Zhiyang, his eyes lit up and he quickly got off Momo's back and ran over to greet him.
"Are you hurt?"
Xu Zhiyang squatted down and pinched the child's arm.
Qin Shiyu shook his head: "No, Momo took me and ran very fast. The mutant spiders would not eat large mutant animals, so they did not chase me."
"That's good."
It was completely dark, and it was unsafe to stay outside. The entire group entered the cave, and a bonfire quickly lit up. The group dispersed, gathering in groups of four or five.
It is already early autumn, but it is getting colder day by day, especially in the deep mountains, where the temperature is even lower.
Qin Shiyu put on the cotton-padded jacket he brought with him and glanced at Fu Qingbai who was shamelessly squeezing next to Xu Zhiyang.
"Second brother, he is..."
Xu Zhiyang had no choice but to move closer to Zhu Ci.
"His name is Fu Qingbai, a dodder mutant. I don't know why he has to follow me. I'll just pretend he doesn't exist."
Qin Shiyu: “…”
Fu Qingbai covered his heart exaggeratedly, as if he was a poor man who was cheated by a scumbag.
"How can you say that? It was your blood that awakened me. Shouldn't you be responsible for me?"
“…”
Xu Zhiyang sighed and couldn't help but retort, "My blood awakened you, so shouldn't you call me daddy?!"
Fu Qingbai's expression froze for a moment, and after a moment he moved closer, his fingers turning into plant threads and wrapping around Xu Zhiyang's wrist.
Fu Qingbai said meaningfully, "So Yangyang likes this kind of tune?"
“…”
Xu Zhiyang was furious: "I've heard of people who bound their feet, but I've never seen someone like you who bound their brains! If you don't want your brain, just donate it! You're crazy!"
Fu Qingbai took back the dodder with a smile.
"Okay, be good. Everyone is watching us."
“…”
"If you want to die, just say so. Don't bully him."
Zhu Ci picked up Xu Zhiyang and moved him to another place, then held the angry boy in his arms to comfort him.
Qin Shiyu smiled bitterly and roughly understood what was going on.
Alas...he shouldn't have come.
Love is too difficult for an eight-year-old child...
After bullying Xu Zhiyang, Fu Qingbai was in a good mood and leaned against the stone wall with his eyes closed to take a nap.
Zhu Ci gently patted the boy's back and asked in a low voice, "Are you hungry? I brought some beef jerky and blueberry jam bread. Want some?"
Hearing the word jam bread, Xu Zhiyang looked up at him and nodded aggrievedly.
"Didn't I eat the last blueberry jam bread? Where did you get it?"
Zhuci opened the package and handed the soft bread with the sweet aroma of cream and blueberries to the boy's mouth.
Seeing him take a big bite, Zhu Ci smiled with satisfaction.
"I bought it at the base before I came out."
Qin Shiyu heard the conversation and asked curiously, "Does the base sell these?"
“Yes, but it’s a bit more expensive.”
Qin Shiyu became interested: "Do you want to exchange items?"
Zhu Ci smiled but didn't answer.
Qin Shiyu understood. He thought that it was because the bread was exchanged for many things, and the eldest brother was unwilling to say it because he was afraid that the second brother would not eat.
Tsk... such a sweetheart...
Qin Shiyu couldn't help sighing in his heart.
After the meal, they tacitly ignored someone and started discussing what happened.
Xu Zhiyang asked in a low voice: "Brother Ci, what is your special ability?"
"After absorbing Wang Hao's superpowers yesterday, I was already at the critical point of the second level. I just killed a few wood energy monsters and have already reached the second level."
Xu Zhiyang said happily: "That's great...but I won't be able to see the second-level ability today."
Zhu Ci: "I'll show you tomorrow."
Qin Shiyu took out the small notebook that he carried with him wherever he went.
"Brother, tell me what it feels like to be at the second level."
Zhu Ci thought for a moment and whispered, "The energy can be stored much more than before. Originally, the wind could only be transformed into wind blades or wind spikes about one meter long."
Qin Shiyu: "What about now?"
"Now, the wind blade, which was originally the size of a palm, can be enlarged by me using more wind. The upper limit is currently unknown."
"Yeah." Qin Shiyu quickly wrote it down in his little notebook.
"At this point, I suspect your abilities will double upon reaching the second stage. That's a good thing."
Qin Shiyu put away the small notebook: "I hope everyone can advance to the second level quickly."
This way, more energy can be absorbed. No matter how powerful the psychic is, if he has no energy to activate his psychic powers, he will still die when he encounters danger.
There is a limit to the amount of energy storage vessels in the bodies of mutants, aliens, including evolved ones.
If this vessel is full of energy, then even if it absorbs more energy, the excess energy that cannot be stored will slowly dissipate.
After the discussion, Xu Zhiyang lowered his voice and moved closer to the two of them.
"I think something is wrong with Luo Cheng."
Zhuci: "What did you find?"
“He… might have been the ‘thing’ outside my window that night.”
After these words were spoken, several people's faces turned grim.
They are not as sensitive to energy as Xu Zhiyang, but they can still distinguish it when the distance is close.
And Luocheng is clearly wood energy.
The strange "thing" with long arms and legs that appeared outside Xu Zhiyang's window that night was actually gold energy.
Qin Shiyu had a stern face and remained silent for a long time.
After a moment, he said, "Could it be that Luo Cheng has two kinds of energy?"
Xu Zhiyang was about to respond when Yang Lu suddenly stood up and walked over.
He was holding a can of beer in his hand, sitting next to Zhu Ci without any hesitation and handed it to him.
"Drink?"
Congratulations: "No, thank you."
"Okay." Yang Yu took a sip and asked casually, "What are you talking about?"
Xu Zhiyang felt sleepy when she heard him talking. She buried her head in Zhu Ci's arms and deliberately took Zhu Ci's hand to cover her ears.
Yang Qi's fingers holding the beer sank a little deeper into the can, and he smiled stiffly:
"It seems like you guys are having a great time chatting. I don't have a very good relationship with the others. They're not convinced by me because of Wang Hao's death, so they want to hide here with you."
Zhu Ci was usually quiet and focused on teasing Xu Zhiyang's ears, so he didn't hear much.
The atmosphere was so awkward that Qin Shiyu felt suffocated. After a few seconds, he couldn't help but speak out.
"Then Mr. Yang, just sit here. It's okay."
Yang Yu raised the corners of his mouth stiffly and sat there in silence for a while. Suddenly, he moved closer to Zhu Ci again, and his whole shoulder almost touched his.
"Hey, Zhuci, I found a rough stone today. It's green inside. Do you want to take a look?"
Xu Zhiyang was completely jealous and blurted out something lazily.
"No, green is unlucky. You can keep it for yourself."
Zhu Ci laughed lightly, holding the boy and moving to the side unnoticeably to create some distance.
"Sorry, he's sleepy. Captain Yang, please speak a little more quietly."
Qin Shiyu pursed his lips, trying not to laugh out loud.
Although the atmosphere was so awkward that it made one dig their toes into the soles of their shoes, he felt that he couldn't laugh.
"Oh, sorry."
Yang Xi sat back awkwardly.
The cave gradually became quiet. Most people were half asleep, listening to the occasional cries of unknown monsters outside the cave, and fell asleep in fear.
Fu Qingbai opened his eyes and looked at the young man sleeping in someone's arms for a while. His eyelashes were drooping and his sleeping face looked very cute.
Interesting, so interesting.
His original human consciousness had been dormant for so long, but it was awakened by the blood of a young boy.
It seems that there is a connection between them.
