Chapter 368: Qingji is attacked
For several days in a row, Liu Da tried his best to help Gu Qingji familiarize himself with the process of the growth-promoting garden. Gu Qingji also simply thought that it was just about growing food in the beginning, but in the end he found out that the so-called growth-promoting garden included everything from distributing seeds to harvesting, drying and making, until every part of the food became part of the growth-promoting garden.
"Thanks to your help these days, otherwise the people below might have run out of food." He finally made the most recent batch of food into an edible state, returned the machine, and distributed it to empty hands. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Gu Qingji stretched his muscles and said to Da Liu, who had been helping him for a few days, "We have missed mealtime, let me treat you to a meal."
"How can I be so embarrassed?"
"It's okay. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have made a mistake this time. Let's go to the Peace Hotel. I heard they have a wide range of dishes."
"Then I won't be polite. It is said that there is a powerful force behind the Peace Hotel, and they have abundant supplies. There are only crystal cores that you can't afford, but there are no supplies that they can't provide."
"Is this true? So powerful?"
"You don't know? There are rumors that the base behind it supports it."
"I haven't heard of it. I'm usually out and have never been involved in the base's affairs."
"I see. Otherwise, I wouldn't think that rice can be eaten right after it's grown. Haha..."
Gu Qingji didn't feel embarrassed at all after being teased, "In the past, we only produced fruits and vegetables, while grains have always been produced by Bai Miao and Brother Dongsheng. I am indeed not familiar with them."
"It's good to specialize in one thing. No one can do everything." The two talked and entered the residential area. Da Liu pointed to the gate not far away and said, "I'm going to go back and take a shower, change clothes and then go to eat. Do you want to come with me?"
"I won't go..." Gu Qingji paused halfway through his words.
"We are all men, it's just a matter of taking a shower. Besides, don't you have your own space? You can also change your clothes. After being blown by the rice mill all day, your clothes are full of crumbs. How itchy it is."
Da Liu's voice rang in his ears, like an invisible hook, causing Gu Qingji to nod uncontrollably. He did not realize for a moment that he had never exposed the new space he had acquired, so how did the other party know about it.
"Excuse me then," he heard himself say.
"You're welcome"
Da Liu spoke hospitably as he walked towards his residence with Gu Qingji. At this moment, Gu Qingji sensitively sensed something was wrong. His mind quickly processed the other party's possible intentions, but due to limited conditions, he could not figure it out for a while.
After a while, the two of them walked to a large courtyard. Gu Qingji looked around and felt that the person in front of him must have some misunderstanding. "Da Liu, I never asked you, how did you think of working in a plantation with your special ability?"
"I don't go there every day. My teammates have been out for the past few days and haven't come back yet, so I'm working in the plantation to earn some pocket money."
"Your teammate? Which team are you from?"
"I'm from... the Junlin team." Da Liu turned around and glanced at Gu Qingji. "Have you heard of Captain Gu?"
Gu Qingji shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with the base." He was indeed unfamiliar with the power of the base. He was away most of the time, and when he occasionally came back, he spent most of his time either resting or training.
"Haha, it's just a small team," said Liu, pushing the door open, turning around and inviting with a smile on his face, "Come in and take a look."
Gu Qingji looked around quietly. The people living on both sides should be ordinary people. There would be no benefit at all if he turned against them at this time. After looking at the weapons in the space, Gu Qingji nodded calmly and followed in.
As a wood-type mutant, as soon as he entered the door, Gu Qingji noticed a subtle smell hidden in the air. It seemed like a fragrance, but also had a faint sense of wood, which could easily be mistaken for the smell of tables and chairs.
Gu Qingji immediately stopped pretending to be polite and asked directly, "What do you want to do?"
Da Liu was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled. Compared to his previous simplicity and honesty, there was a hint of indescribable arrogance in him, "You are indeed the most outstanding combat and wood-type mutant in the base. This little trick can't escape your sight."
As he waved his hand, small flowers the size of rice grains appeared faintly on the original beams and door frames in the room. The wooden petals looked like they were carved on the wood if you didn't look closely. They were densely packed and bloomed one after another.
Gu Qingji instantly had a bad premonition. He would use his supernatural powers to enhance the medicinal effects of certain plants for his own use. Naturally, he would not underestimate the enemy. He no longer paid attention to Da Liu's purpose. He directly controlled the mutant vine to swing towards Da Liu and ran towards the gate.
Before he could get close to the door, the door was suddenly opened. A fire dragon rushed towards him from the direction of the door, and the mutant vines that were burned immediately curled up and twisted and shrank back.
"You can't even sleep well, and you still bring such a thing home, you coward." A sloppy voice sounded, and he walked out along the firelight. It was the deputy captain Zhang Lin in shorts.
"Don't underestimate..."
"Hurry up, damn it. I have an appointment tonight and don't have time to listen to your nagging." Before Da Liu could finish his words, he was interrupted impatiently by Zhang Lin, and then several fireballs attacked Gu Qingji.
There were more than one or two fire-type mutants in the only team, and they fought together all day long. Gu Qingji immediately realized that this was not something he could handle alone. He quickly dodged the fireball and took out a crystal core gun from the space. He shot it at Da Liu, who was obviously not strong enough in combat but was quietly giving birth to unknown plants.
The crystal core gun was extremely powerful. In the confined space, even though Da Liu had noticed it and was trying to dodge, the coverage area was too large, and both Gu Qingji and Zhang Lin were knocked against the wall by the hot air wave.
Da Liu, who was swept by the flames, instantly turned into a burning man, shouting Zhang Lin's name, seeking help. Gu Qingji did not give him this opportunity. He fired again, and Da Liu instantly turned into ashes. The wall that was hit was also penetrated, and the flames illuminated half of the night sky.
When Zhang Lin saw that things were getting out of hand, he immediately stood up and prepared to escape, but Gu Qingji quickly swung out the mutant vine and pulled him back.
Zhang Lin took out a slender dagger, and his supernatural power extended from his hand to his upper body. Suddenly, the entire blade was ignited with blue flames, and the dancing flames kept dropping sparks as he swung it.
He cut off the mutant vines and dared not get close to him, so he could only surround them and prevent them from escaping.
Gu Qingji was already at a disadvantage when the wood-type power confronted the fire-type power. He now only hoped that the commotion here could alert other forces in the base and get them to come with support.
Gu Qingji took out a gun from space and fired two shots at Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin reacted quickly and moved quickly towards Gu Qingji the moment he was aimed at. The extremely close distance made it impossible for Gu Qingji to aim at all, and coupled with his body shape blessed by supernatural powers, neither of the two shots hit Zhang Lin.
He could only change to a long sword and add the same supernatural power to the sword. In a close-range fight, Gu Qingji, who relied too much on supernatural powers, was obviously no match for Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin, who looked sloppy and unserious, acted very decisively. Every strike of his sword and every kick was sharp and skillful, acquired through long fighting. After a few moves, Gu Qingji was at a disadvantage.
"Your captain is really generous. Any team member can get the latest weapon." Zhang Lin stabbed Gu Qingji with ease. The blade did not touch anyone, but the extended flame easily ignited the clothes on Gu Qingji's waist. When Gu Qingji waved the long knife to resist, he simply withdrew and stabbed in another place.
"Big Liu underestimated you, so let me take advantage of you, and I can get a space for free." Zhang Lin chuckled and chopped at Gu Qingji's head with a knife. Gu Qingji dodged to the side slightly, took a step forward quickly, and made a fake move to attack his knife-holding hand. Zhang Lin quickly withdrew his hand and punched him in the head.
Gu Qingji quickly leaned back to avoid the attack, but a knee had already hit his chest. A lump of mud-like substance appeared in his other hand and he slapped it directly on Zhang Lin's face. Zhang Lin kicked him with all his strength and he flew against the wall, knocking down half of the wall, and all the rubble that fell down hit him.
Gu Qingji spat out two mouthfuls of blood and used all his supernatural powers towards Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin, who was planning to kill the man with a fireball and leave immediately, suddenly felt something growing inside his body. He was stunned for a moment, then attacked by severe pain. The feeling of something piercing his internal organs and penetrating his skin and flesh made him fall to the ground and roll violently. He kept scratching his body with his hands, trying to get the thing out of his skin.
Seeing that he had no ability to resist, Gu Qingji, with blood gushing from his mouth, used the last bit of his consciousness to take out the walkie-talkie from the space and connected to his teammate's channel.
"The King's Landing team wants to attack me. Their purpose is unknown. Hurry..." He didn't finish his words. His consciousness gradually became blurred. He saw a figure running towards him. He murmured, "Brother", and fainted completely.
At the same time, in the only team far outside the base, Lu Weiyi, who was having a meal after a busy day, casually scanned the surroundings with his mental power and found someone approaching carefully from a distance.
After a rough count, there were only about thirty people. Lu Weiyi didn't quite believe it and went to check further away, but he didn't find any trace of more people. For a moment, he was confused about the other party's identity.
If it was the Menghu Squad we encountered some time ago, the number of people obviously doesn't match. If not, they don't seem to have made enemies with anyone else.
But it did not stop everyone from being alert, "Someone is coming, about thirty of them, surrounding us."
Li Zhuang immediately put down his chopsticks and asked, "How many meters are left?"
"Six hundred meters away"
"Hurry up and start working after eating." Li Zhuang gave the order neatly and started to talk first. This made Zheng Jun and others wonder whether they should be nervous or not.
Seeing that everyone seemed accustomed to it, Zheng Jun signaled his teammates to speed up.
Dinner was finished in three minutes, and the people who were lurking over there were still killing the zombies quietly in order not to attract their attention.
"Who is this? From the Menghu team? He's a little late, isn't he?" Xu Sa looked around with night vision goggles, but could only determine the person's location but not his identity.
