Chapter 88 Selling Water
Qiao Ye shouted loudly: "Xiao Chengzi, hold on tight!"
Xie Chen turned off the communication with a snap, then fastened his seat belt.
Qiao Ye saw a huge insect suddenly jump over, and a huge sickle chopped down from above his head.
"leaf!"
Qiao Ye's figure flashed and flew into the air, looking down at the insects on the ground.
The four huge bugs were more than twice as big as the level 4 bugs during the day, and their sickles were sharper.
"Four bugs, all of them look like level six bugs."
Qiao Ye controlled the mecha and said, "It's late at night. Turn off the searchlight and activate the [Hide] function."
Late at night: "Okay, Master."
The seven-star mecha looked at the eight-star mecha in the sky, and the eight-star mecha suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night.
He actually ran away, leaving him alone to deal with these bugs?
The imperial military academy students are really great.
Pei Shiyi whistled helplessly.
Then, he faced four bugs alone. "Kill them! It's time to move around late at night."
Moving quietly in the air late at night.
Xie Chen, who originally thought that Lu Chi and Qiao Bang should be fine, began to worry more about Qiao Bang and Lu Chi.
Seeing Xie Chen's grim expression, Qiao Ye comforted him, "The night on this planet is only one or two hours long. With Lu Chi and Qiao Bang's abilities, it shouldn't be a problem for them to hide."
Xie Chen nodded.
Qiao Ye spent the night scanning the surrounding situation, and then said, "We should have gotten rid of the general who was the secret sentry."
Xie Chen: "Where are we going next?"
Qiao Ye: "Go to where there are people and find them."
Over 50,000 people from the Imperial Capital were thrown onto this planet at once, and no one knew how they were distributed. The situation on this planet was still a bit unclear, so it was better to find someone and see what was going on.
It flew for a long time.
The night on the wasteland of Saturn is short, and daybreak comes two hours later.
After the two found a place where there were signs of human survival, the mecha landed and Qiao Ye put it away.
Afterwards, Qiao Ye asked Xie Chen to sit down against a stone wall, while he looked around and found a few metal plates in the wasteland. He supported them and barely formed a small house that could shelter from the wind and sand.
The air was very dry, Xie Chen's throat became even drier, and heat rose from his lungs.
His face turned pale, and he became increasingly dissatisfied with his own frail body.
Qiao Ye raised his palm and gathered the moisture in the air towards himself and Xie Chen.
The humidity slowly adjusted to around 40%, and Xie Chen felt much more comfortable.
The two teenagers sat cross-legged in a makeshift iron house.
Qiao Ye sat in the corner, quietly took out the insect core he had obtained before, closed his eyes, and while sleeping, absorbed the trace water elements in the insect core.
The core of a level 4 bug was still too small. Qiao Ye quickly sucked out all the water from the core, leaving it a hollow shell.
She needs more of these insect cores.
Qiao Ye closed his eyes and thought about it.
This is the current situation for her and Xie Chen: two guides, with a mecha, taking a short rest in such a slightly populated place.
She needed: 1. A treatment cabin to heal Xie Chen's leg injury. 2. Delicious, nutritious food, avoiding dry compressed biscuits. 3. A large number of insect cores. 4. Find someone.
She suddenly had an idea.
She asked Xie Chen to continue sitting in the small house, and she built a shed nearby with metal plates. She found an iron barrel in the space and modified it with brute force into a water dispenser with a faucet.
She placed a graduated measuring cylinder next to it and put up a large cardboard with the words "Selling water, exchanging waste Saturn insect cores for water, one cup of water for one insect core."
He stood guard beside the water dispenser, using his hands to manipulate the nearby water elements to condense into water, which flowed into the iron cylinder.
As she waited, Qiao Ye gradually began to doubt whether the place where she was squatting was really inhabited.
Before long, a dusty young man driving a scrap Saturn motorcycle pulled up beside her shop. He looked about the same age as them. He took off his helmet, revealing a head of white hair.
"Selling water?" the boy asked with his head down.
Business is coming!
Qiao Ye's eyes lit up, but he pretended to be calm and nodded, "Exchange the insect core for water."
Boy: "I have a lot of insect cores. How much water do you have?"
Qiao Ye raised his eyebrows: Big business!
She controlled herself and said, "I only have this bucket of water, about 10L. A cup of water is 250ML. I can buy it for 40 insect cores."
The boy took out a cloth bag, counted it, and found 40 insect cores, then threw it to Qiao Ye. "I want all the water you have."
Qiao Ye took the bag, counted the nuclei, and then handed the bucket to the boy. "10L of water, no cheating, measure it yourself."
"No thanks." The young man put the water into the space ring. Then he said, "Why are you selling water here? Why don't you go to the black market?"
"Black market?" Such a niche term.
Boy: “Are you new here?”
The boy suddenly realized: "No wonder you are willing to sell even water."
Qiao Ye looked puzzled and motioned for him to continue.
The young man said, "On Wasteland, nothing is rare, except water. Anyone who comes to Wasteland will be robbed of their water by the locals. You are lucky to have met me."
The young man extended his hand and said, "My name is Wei Guan, can you be my friend?"
Wei Guan? This name sounds familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before.
Qiao Ye tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember.
Hearing the noise, Xie Chen walked out of the iron house and made eye contact with Qiao Ye. Qiao Ye nodded and said, "My name is George, and his name is Orange. Let's be friends."
Wei Guan raised his white eyebrows slightly. It was obviously a fake name, but it didn't matter.
Wei Guan: "Are you going to the black market?"
Qiao Ye nodded and said, "Go. But you need to wait for us, we still need to sort things out."
Wei Guan: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
Qiao Ye took Xie Chen into the iron house, and Xie Chen whispered, "Can we trust him?"
Qiao Ye: "Don't believe him. Xiao Chengzi, help me guard the door."
Xie Chen immediately went to guard the door.
Qiao Ye held the 40 insect cores that Wei Guan had just given her and sat in the middle of the iron house. She closed her eyes, opened her crystal core, and quickly absorbed the insect cores.
Her crystal core was like a sponge that had been dry for a long time, eagerly absorbing the power in the insect core.
S-level guide Xie Chen looked at Qiao Ye in surprise.
His friend Qiao Ye not only possessed a strong mental strength, but also seemed to be using a power he had never seen before.
He saw that the insect cores in Qiao Ye's arms were being drained of energy one by one and turned into transparent thin balls.
Ye Zi, is absorbing the insect core?
Countless questions arose in Xie Chen's mind.
When Qiao Ye absorbed 20 insect cores, he stopped absorbing.
It’s not that she can’t continue to absorb, but she needs some time to digest it after absorbing it, and she doesn’t have that much time now.
She stretched out her hand, and a long ice cone instantly appeared on the tip of her finger. The next moment, the ice cone melted and turned into water mist that dissipated in the air.
Xie Chen was even more shocked.
