It can be seen from Lu Ya's bed that he is a very particular person. So, after dinner, when he released two buckets from the space to fill Xinghe, and then picked them up to take a shower on the second floor, Gu Fan was not surprised at all.
"When the young marshal comes down, let's go upstairs and wash up."
Xinghe suggested that otherwise, they would be squeezed in a car during the day. Lu Ya was so clean, and it would be impolite for him to be bothered by the smell of their sweat.
Tarzan nodded.
Meng Lianying and Fenghuo had already come to Lu Ya's bedside, touching and pressing him.
They are all mercenaries and usually don't pay much attention to bedding. Fenghuo's showiness is reflected in his clothes. Now that he sees Lu Ya's bed, he can't help but want to experience it.
However, Lu Ya's aura made them dare not make further attempts.
Gu Fan was not interested in the luxurious bed. She took out the tablet from her backpack and watched the TV series that Fenghuo had downloaded for her in advance.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Ya came down from the stairs, wearing a black silk pajamas. His short hair was half wet, but it did not affect his cold and solemn aura at all.
Meng Lianying asked sincerely, "Cousin, were you also so particular when you led troops out before?"
Lu Ya: "Looking at the time and the situation, it's safe tonight, so you can relax a little."
Meng Lianying: "You still call this a little? You're just short of sending two more masseuses to massage you."
Lu Ya glanced at him.
Meng Lianying shut up and asked Qingteng and Gu Fan, "Should we let Xinghe run the water for you to take a bath first?"
Qingteng nodded.
Gu Fan said to the tablet screen: "I didn't sweat much, so I won't wash it."
She definitely sweated a little, but it was quietly cleaned up by Gu Fan using the dust removal technique. She just knew that she was clean, and as for what others thought, she didn't care much about it. She didn't even look up to observe other people's expressions.
Fenghuo smelled himself and looked at Meng Lianying who had done the same thing, but they were unable to say the same words.
Finally, Xinghe took his four teammates to the second floor and took a bath in two rooms.
The familiar companions were not around for the time being, so Gu Fan glanced vigilantly outside the small building, and finally, his gaze fell on Lu Ya who was standing by the window.
There was no electricity, and it was pitch black inside and outside the windows, with only a little starlight illuminating various outlines.
The window glass had long been broken, and the evening breeze blew in gently, causing the hair by his ears to move.
It seemed that his hair had been dried by the wind.
The deepening darkness made the light from the screen seem particularly dazzling. Gu Fan put away the tablet, lay flat on the bed and closed his eyes.
Lu Ya tilted his head and glanced in her direction.
The night passed peacefully, and the next day the seven of them got on an off-road vehicle again, with the same seating arrangement as yesterday.
Meng Lianying and Fenghuo dozed off from time to time, but Gu Fan was worried and kept an eye on the environment outside the car.
The monsters were intelligent enough to know that the roads were built and used by humans, so they used brute force to cause varying degrees of damage to the roads. The off-road vehicle sometimes drove along the flat road, and sometimes drove into the grass and fields to bypass several deep pits and fault zones. Gu Fan simply held the two front seats with both hands at the same time to maintain his balance.
Monsters appeared several times, some C-level and some B-level, and they were all killed by Fenghuo, Menglianying, Qingteng and Taishan.
None of the four got out of the car, but used their minds to perform their special abilities from a distance.
Gu Fan observed silently and suddenly realized the difference between cultivators and people with special abilities.
Evolution has allowed psychics to have physical fitness far superior to that of ordinary people, but psychics have no spiritual power in their bodies and can only control the five elements of the outside world with their thoughts. The difference in the levels of psychics is actually the difference in the strength of their mental power. Although they are both gold-type psychics, the metal weapons condensed by C-level psychics can only penetrate tree trunks, while S-level psychics can make their weapons break rocks and penetrate mountains.
Cultivators, on the other hand, channel the Five Elements into their bodies, tempering and nourishing them repeatedly to strengthen their bodies and increase their lifespans. When attacking, cultivators also release their spiritual energy through spells. Therefore, the higher the cultivator's level, the more spiritual energy they retain, and the more powerful their attacks.
Perhaps if the psychics are given enough time to develop, their strength may be comparable to that of cultivators, but at present, at the same level, cultivators are still stronger.
It was almost noon and the temperature was rising. Fortunately, the air conditioner was on in the off-road vehicle.
However, the sunlight shining in still makes people drowsy.
The road ahead seemed relatively flat. Gu Fan had been awake most of the night, and now he couldn't help but lean on the back of the chair next to Qingteng and take a nap.
"Fanfan, be careful!"
Following Fenghuo's horrified warning, the off-road vehicle braked suddenly!
At that moment, Gu Fan, who had just woken up from a light sleep, had a blank mind. She felt as if she was flying forward suddenly. Just as her body left the seat, an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her over. The car body shook violently several times, and she was bounced again and again on the other person's legs. In addition to the arm around her waist, there was also a big hand on the back of her neck, holding her tightly in his arms.
The car stopped.
With a few bangs, Fenghuo, Qingteng, Taishan and Meng Lianying jumped out of the car at the same time, and soon the roars of beasts and the sounds of fighting were heard outside.
Gu Fan looked up instinctively.
The hand that had been protecting the back of her neck sensed her movement and released it in time, so Gu Fan successfully raised her head and saw that in the wilderness nearby, Fenghuo and the other four were working together to deal with two three-meter-long black scorpions.
Gu Fan had seen the introduction of the black scorpion in the "Latest Edition of Monster Encyclopedia". Ordinary scorpions are very small. After the massive radiation, the scorpions mutated. A one-meter-long black scorpion is classified as a C-level monster, a two-meter-long one is upgraded to a B-level, and a three-meter-long one is already an A-level monster. The most powerful S-level black scorpion can even be five meters long!
The black scorpion can use earth-based abilities to attack. The trouble is that scorpions are poisonous creatures, and the mutated black scorpions are even more poisonous, so you have to be careful when dealing with them.
The two black scorpions had an unusual speed and almost perfectly avoided the supernatural attacks of Fenghuo and Meng Lianying. The poisonous vines produced by the green vines had no effect on the black scorpions and could only slightly restrain them. Taishan's earth-based supernatural powers were of the same origin as the black scorpions, so no one could hurt anyone and they could only restrain each other.
The four of them cooperated well. After the initial test, Qingteng and Taishan each restrained a black scorpion, while Fenghuo and Menglianying concentrated their firepower and launched a fierce attack.
The fight is still going on, but the humans can already see victory and it will be over in a few minutes at most.
Gu Fan's nervous mood finally relaxed, and then she realized belatedly that she was still sitting on Lu Ya's legs, and Lu Ya's right arm was still around her waist.
Gu Fan looked into his eyes.
Their eyes met, Lu Ya understood and let go of his hand.
"Thank you." Gu Fan sat back in his seat.
Lu Ya: "You're welcome. If I hadn't been there and you had fastened your seat belt, there wouldn't have been an accident."
Gu Fan thought so too.
Xinghe was still sitting in the driver's seat. After the two of them finished their conversation, he explained to Gu Fan, "Just now, those two black scorpions suddenly erected a wall of earth on the road, and I..."
Gu Fan had already seen the road conditions and said with a smile, "I don't blame you. You were driving steadily enough."
Xinghe nodded.
Gu Fan continued to watch the battle outside. Suddenly, she turned to Lu Ya and asked, "Why don't you go down and help?"
She wanted to see Lu Ya's abilities.
Lu Ya looked at the two black scorpions that were becoming increasingly powerless and said, "With them here, I don't need to attack the A-level monsters."
Gu Fan: "If you take action, how long will it take to kill two A-level black scorpions?"
Xinghe also looked at Lu Ya through the rearview mirror. He had never seen Lu Ya's strength with his own eyes.
Lu Ya's expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about something insignificant: "One second."
Xinghe expressed his admiration with his eyes.
Gu Fan had a little doubt, a thought in one second. Lu Ya was so strong, why didn't he take action before Meng Lianying and others got off the car to save time for everyone?
At this time, the battle outside was over.
The four of them cut off all the usable parts of the Black Scorpion and put them into Taishan's space. Xinghe used a water gun to remove the dirt on their armor, and Fenghuo was responsible for drying it.
However, this rough cleaning still could not wash away the smell of blood and sweat on the four people after the fierce battle.
As soon as the four of them got in the car, the mixed smell immediately filled the space inside the car.
Gu Fan forced himself not to use the Dust Removal Technique on them, and his expression was flawless.
Lu Ya leaned against the back of the chair expressionlessly, his stern face turned towards the car window. The SUV returned to the main road, and the distant mountains and wilderness passed by one after another.
Lu Ya had no thoughts about the close contact he had just had with Gu Fan. He had only taken action to prevent her from flying out of the window. However, when the strange smell of Meng Lianying and the other three people came over, Lu Ya suddenly remembered the scent he had smelled on Gu Fan for a brief moment. It was clean and fresh, and even had a faint floral fragrance.
A woman who has been running around for a day and a half without taking a shower still smells good.
Is this the reason why she said last night that she didn't want to take a shower?
The speed of the off-road vehicle slowed down significantly today. In the evening, the group drove to an area with rolling hills.
"Young Marshal, should we set up camp for the night, or continue driving forward to see if there are any villages or towns nearby?"
Lu Ya said, "Most of the villages and towns here are near water, and there are many monsters near the water, so let's camp by the roadside."
Xinghe thought so too and asked just out of politeness.
Before it got completely dark, the Menglianying team set up two tents on the side of the road. The men squeezed into the bigger tent, and the smaller one was for Gu Fan and Qing Teng.
"Cousin, did you bring your tent?" Meng Lianying wanted to continue broadening his horizons and looked at Lu Ya with anticipation.
Lu Ya walked to the other side of Gu Fan and Qing Teng’s small tent and released an RV.
This time, even Gu Fan was stunned.
She was used to seeing all kinds of mobility scooters and off-road vehicles in the base, but this was the first time she saw this kind of vehicle.
Lu Ya introduced it to them: "I found this in a car shop in an abandoned city. It's called an RV. During the free years, it could be used as a house, for traveling during the day and staying at night. I brought it back to the base and refurbished it. Apart from its original function, I haven't made any other improvements. It's just a flashy collectible."
Fenghuo: "I also want this kind of flashy and impractical."
Meng Lianying: "Cousin, I'd like to know how big your crystal space is."
Lu Ya did not answer, but opened the car door and signaled everyone to go in and take a look.
Fenghuo and Menglianying didn't bother to be polite with him and rushed forward.
Gu Fan and Qing Teng followed closely behind.
Xinghe and Taishan did not move. They were both retail investors and had seen all kinds of old objects, so they had long lost their curiosity.
Meng Lianying: "There's actually a bathroom in here! Ah, there's water! Cousin, let me take a shower first!"
Fenghuo: "I just want to sleep on the floor inside."
After the tour, the four of them came out feeling unsatisfied.
"I'll be on guard tonight, you all go to sleep." Standing by the car door, Lu Ya made arrangements.
Meng Lianying's heart moved, and he said flatteringly, "Since my cousin doesn't want to sleep, can you let me sleep in your RV for one night?"
Lu Ya lectured him, "Since you've chosen to be a mercenary, you should get used to hardship."
Meng Lianying: ...
No matter how hard the path you choose is, you must keep going!
After dinner, Xinghe took the men to take an open-air bath in the dark, while Lu Ya lent the RV to Qingteng and Gu Fan.
Gu Fan couldn't use the dust removal technique every day, so he came out of the bathroom with his long hair loose and watched Qing Teng walk in. Driven by curiosity, Gu Fan pushed open the bedroom door.
The bedroom was clean and bright, looking brand new, with a similar luxurious king-size bed.
Gu Fan walked to the bed and pressed it. The mattress fabric was comfortable and elastic. It was not suitable for meditation, but it should be comfortable to lie down and watch TV.
People on Earth just know how to enjoy life. When she returns to the base, she will buy a bed like this.
