Chapter 184 Xia Xun's Contracted Beast
Lan Shiruo hadn't mentioned that six months from now, the world would enter a scorching summer. As temperatures rose, the corpses would undergo a period of evolutionary selection, with those unable to withstand the heat reduced to dry bones. Those who could withstand would undergo a second, comprehensive upgrade. Level three corpses, beginning to develop special abilities, would be even more difficult to deal with. "In six months, our twelve-person team will leave to search for supplies. Living off our resources won't last long. This place will be handed over to everyone. Kong Fenglin, you will be fully responsible for this place. You can start adapting now. Whether this place thrives or not depends entirely on you."
Kong Fenglin was stunned. He was disappointed just now. Everyone had something to do, but he was forgotten. He didn't expect that he would be the manager?
Lan Shiruo raised an eyebrow, and when he didn't respond for a long time, she asked, "Don't you want to?"
Kong Fenglin came back to his senses, "No, no, I am willing. I will do it well. I will definitely make our team the best team and our base the envy of everyone."
Lan Shiruo curled her lips. Kong Fenglin was an ambitious man, so there was no problem handing it over to him. "I'll wait and see your results," she said to her friends. "In the next six months, we must not only help build the base, but also work hard to improve ourselves. We will be assessed, and those who fail will not be allowed to leave."
All the friends were excited and said, "I will definitely pass it."
Lan Shiruo remained noncommittal. "Rest first. You can decide what to do first and how to do it. Ask me for anything you need."
After everyone left, Ao Chengyi hugged his young wife, buried his head in her neck, and said nothing.
Lan Shiruo was stunned. What happened to the stinky man suddenly?
"uncomfortable?"
"Um."
Lan Shiruo frowned, "What's wrong? Wait, I'll go find Jiang He."
Ao Chengyi tightened his arms, not letting his young wife leave. "Don't go, let me hold you. Girl, I'm sorry, I'm useless. I will never lose you again, never again."
Lan Shiruo suddenly realized that it was a good thing she hadn't told him about her past life, otherwise the stinky man would have blamed himself and committed suicide. "I'm fine. I hope we'll never be apart again. Me, you, Lebao, Jiang Xiang, and Cang Ying, we'll always be together."
"Yeah, we've always been together." Ao Chengyi suddenly raised his head and stared at his young wife with a dark green look in his eyes. "Wife."
"What's wrong?" Lan Shiruo felt creepy when she was stared at.
The dog man smiled frivolously, "Lebao said he wanted a sister."
Lan Shiruo was too serious for a second and wanted to escape immediately, but the enemy was well prepared and she was eventually defeated in Nanshan and cried out to the sky.
At dawn the next day, the valley was bustling with activity. With hope and a future in mind, everyone had a happy look on their faces.
It was a bit hectic at first, but after two or three days, things gradually settled into their normal routine. There were breaks in the busy schedule, with people talking and laughing, and the sounds of children playing and reading aloud filled the air, creating a thriving atmosphere.
It's been so long since I've lived such a comfortable life. It feels like a lifetime ago, like a dream.
These days, the seven monkeys of the Seven Brothers have adapted to the big guy and are no longer afraid. The little ones are very hardworking and help move stones and chisel stones. They are very capable and have formed a unique and beautiful landscape, which has been envied by many people who do not have contract partners.
The seven brothers were in charge of the construction in the valley, and Xia Xun took over the small county town outside the valley. This was his future territory, so he had to come there in person, taking people to patrol the streets and alleys every day to survey and plan.
He planned to demolish some unnecessary houses and use the stones to build the city wall.
The area around the county town is like a valley, with only one road in and out. The rest of the way is cliffs, bare with no trees or grass.
A safety zone would have to be carved out around the perimeter, and he planned to erect some security barriers in the middle. He also planned to set up sentry posts, artillery batteries, and so on. Almost the entire county would have to be renovated.
After wandering around for several days and finally deciding, I started to work on it.
Unexpectedly, he started off badly and was scolded as soon as he started.
"Where did you come from, you ignorant brat, to dare to touch my territory? Believe it or not, I can spray you to death with my saliva? You look like a decent person, but you do things worse than pigs and dogs. This land belongs to me. If anyone dares to touch it, he must step over my corpse. Otherwise, I will spray your descendants to death, spray your ancestors alive, and make you doubt your life. Don't be skeptical. In the world of spraying, I consider myself the second best in the world, and no one dares to claim to be the best. Back then, I fought against many heroes and remained invincible. Everyone raised the white flag and bowed their heads. When I was killing people everywhere, you, a brat, were still stealing shit. If you know what's good for you, get out now. If you don't, I'll serve you with a spray bottle."
Xia Xun and his companions were all confused and a little terrified. They only heard the voice but didn't see the person. Could it be a ghost?
Xia Xun suddenly acted silly and said, "Which hero are you? Please show yourself to me." He clasped his fists and saluted, looking like a real hero.
The little friend behind me, this kid is not very smart, right?
Unexpectedly, it actually worked. From the dark beams, a fluttering sound was heard, and a dark mass swooped down. A pair of colorful eyes, with a human-like arrogance, said, "Since you have invited me sincerely, I will condescend to come out and see you. Why don't you quickly submit to me?"
What the hell is this guy?
A dark-skinned person can speak human language? And his words are a mix of unconventional and unfashionable Jianghu rhetoric. Have you watched too many costume dramas?
Xia Xun's eyes sparkled as he clasped his fists and bowed, "Senior, you are polite. It was I who was rude and disturbed your rest. However, this place is simple and unworthy of your noble status. I would like to ask you to move to my humble abode for a while. Although my humble abode is not luxurious, it has everything you need. You will have no worries about food and drink, rain or shine, and I have many disciples to command you. I have a handful of five-spice melon seeds here, please enjoy them."
The little friend's jaw dropped to the ground, but the man and the bird were quite involved.
Heibuluiqiu walked with a proud step, condescending himself to taste the five-spice melon seeds. If he hadn't drooled, he would have acted more realistically, and even Yunshui Yao would have had to admit defeat.
"It tastes good. You are sensible boy. Follow me from now on. I will definitely give you some benefits."
Xia Xun was overjoyed, "Thank you for your appreciation, senior. Please give me a title."
"What status?" Heibuliaoqiu was eating happily and asked casually without even raising his head.
Xia Xun pulled out a knife and said, "Let's swear an oath of blood and follow our predecessors until death."
When Heibuliao heard this, he thought this boy had a bright future and said, "That's great. Come on."
Then, the man and the bird completed the contract in front of their friends' stunned eyes.
Xia Xun took his senior back to show off, but he never thought that this was the beginning of his nightmare.
Heibuliaoqiu is a parrot. Apart from his fast chattering speed, he has no other advantages. After making a contract with Xia Xun, his eyesight improved and he also assimilated the mirror ability, but he doesn't care about these.
Every day, he wanders around the base with nothing to do. He can't afford to offend the big team, let alone Uncle Eagle, who is also a bird, so he picks on the weak, such as Kong Fenglin. "You old man, you are not as pretty as me, but you are not so ugly that you can't show yourself to others. Why can't you find a mother? You must have a physical problem. I tell you, men have to treat their problems, otherwise the mother will look down on you. If you really can't find a mother, don't lose heart. I will find you a female bird later. Although she is not as pretty as me, she is not ugly either." After washing the parrot, its true appearance was revealed. It was a young black-breasted bird with white feathers, red face and yellow crown. It was pretty, but its temper was really annoying.
