Chapter 34 We are all men. What you have, I have too.
The weather is changeable. One second it was sunny and clear, and the next second it was windy and cloudy.
The car windows were completely closed. It was raining heavily outside. The raindrops hit the roof of the car, making a crackling sound.
The wheels of the leading car sank into the mud pit. The mud raised by the tires splashed on the clothes, leaving traces. The team came to a standstill.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Yunqi braked suddenly, and Long Yilan's head suddenly tilted forward and hit the front seat. She raised her head and looked forward.
After stopping the car, within a few seconds, a man ran over in the rain, knocked on the car window, and shouted: "The car in front is stuck, the rain is too heavy, and we can't move for a while."
In the heavy rain, his voice was a little blurry, and Jiang Yunqi opened the car window a little.
The man was a little boy from Lin Jinnan's team. His whole body was wet, and there were many traces of mud and water on his body: "Our captain said that a large area of abandoned buildings was found in front, and asked me to come over to ask you if you want to go there to avoid the rain."
Jiang Yunqi looked out the window. Under the heavy rain, there were indeed a few buildings looming among the lush green trees.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm your non-staff member now." Gu Bingchen saw Jiang Yunqi's eyes passing over him, and he pulled down his sunglasses, looking like he was just joining in the fun.
"......" Jiang Yunqi retracted his gaze, "I wasn't looking at you."
"Tell your captain for me that we'll be there after we park the car."
The boy nodded, and after passing the message and getting a reply, he staggered back to the front of the team.
It was raining heavily and the wind was strong. The group rushed into one of the abandoned buildings in a hurry. They couldn't even see what the outside of the building looked like. They took a quick glance and only vaguely remembered that the wall on the outside of the building was peeling off, and the red bricks were covered with moss and green vines.
Lin Jinnan only brought four people this time, Mu Weixi's team had three people, Jiang Yunqi's team had four people, plus the three teenagers rescued from the zombie cats, they had a total of fourteen people.
Everyone was soaked by the rain, their clothes stuck to their bodies, and the strong wind blew, making it a bone-chilling cold.
"Hiss, it's so cold." Someone rubbed his arms and sniffed his nose, feeling that it was colder here than when he was just caught in the rain.
Tan Ling: "It's okay, let's find some dry firewood to start a fire and warm ourselves up."
There was not only sand and cement in the abandoned building, but also a lot of dry firewood piled up in the corner.
It was unclear whether it was the previous building materials or someone had placed them here.
So far, they had not seen any signs of other people's activities.
The building was quite large, and the three teams were in different locations to make fires. Gu Bingche rolled up his sleeves and tried to grab some firewood from the pile, but was stopped by Jiang Yunqi.
"We have other things." He didn't finish his words, but Gu Bingchen understood what he meant. He glanced at the white fingers holding his wrist, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes. He sat down next to Jiang Yunqi.
The clothes on his body were wet, which was really uncomfortable. Fortunately, the four of them had space. Long Yilan found clean clothes in the space button, found a corner, put a screen that had been put into the space at some point, blocked the eyes of others, and changed into new clothes.
Xie Er took out some strange stones from the space button and placed them on the ground. He also cut a few branches from small trees in a place that was not wet by the rain and placed them on top of the stones.
"Do you have a lighter?" The lighter of the space button was a bit big, and it was not easy to use it so conspicuously. Thinking of Gu Bingchen who was smoking, Xie Er looked at him.
Gu Bingchen raised his eyebrows and threw the silver lighter he was playing with to him.
As soon as the open flame approached the stone, the scorching flame immediately came out. He returned the lighter to Gu Bingchen and continued to throw branches into the fire.
"What is this thing? Is the ignition point so low?" Gu Bingchen looked back at the other two teams. Even though they had dry firewood, they had no flammable materials such as paper towels and leaves to help, so it took a long time to ignite a small flame.
Look at their speed of starting a fire.
Jiang Yunqi broke off a branch and threw it into the fire, then stood up and said softly: "Burning stone, it will burn as soon as it encounters fire, and it will last for a long time."
"I'll go change my clothes." Seeing Long Yilan coming back, he walked behind the screen.
It will burn as soon as it encounters fire, no wonder.
"Hey, wait for me, I'm going too!" Gu Bingchen followed
with big strides. Jiang Yunqi paused slightly: "Why are you following me?"
Gu Bingchen: "Changing clothes?"
"Then you change first." Jiang Yunqi stepped back.
"Can't we two go together?"
"We're both men. What you have, I have too. Are you shy? Am I going to eat you?" Gu Bingchen used a little strength to pull Jiang Yunqi in.
Jiang Yunqi had no choice but to watch Gu Bingchen change his clothes in front of him.
Although there was no concept of Alpho, Omege and Beta on Blue Star two thousand years ago, he still couldn't stare at others changing clothes so rudely.
So, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on the other's toes, and the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other was heard in his ears.
"They..." Xie Er opened his mouth beside the campfire, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Long Yilan was chewing the beef jerky that Tang Yichao had stuffed into his mouth before he left. Hearing this, he glanced at the screen and said nonchalantly, "Oh, there are no Alpho, Omege, or Beta here. Two thousand years ago, there were only two genders on the Blue Star: male and female."
"Besides, my glands are gone. I think the admiral's should be gone too."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and Xie Er was unable to react for a while.
He said, "...Glands gone?"
"Oh, yes, you are a Beta, you don't have glands."
It was because Xie Er usually acted too awesome that Long Yilan always forgot that he was a Beta.
Normal Alphas would hardly show their glands, but Long Yilan was exceptionally different.
"Yes, if you don't believe me, just look." She chewed the beef jerky, turned around, raised two fingers that were not stained with chili powder, and pulled down her collar.
Her honey-colored skin came into view, and there was no bulge on the back of her neck. The gland was really gone.
Xie Er asked Long Yilan to pull up her clothes, and reminded her: "Don't show your neck to others casually."
Long Yilan raised her eyes and rolled her eyes: "Am I a stupid person?"
"Information..." Xie Er wanted to ask something else, but after hearing the footsteps behind him, he immediately changed the subject, "What do you want to eat?"
"Well, as long as it's not something that tastes bad, I'm fine with it." Long Yilan was referring to the boxes of nutritional supplements stacked on the space button.
"Hey, sister, can you lend us your screen?"
Jiang Yunqi and Gu Bingchen had just returned when they saw Tan Ling walking over with a thin girl.
The person who asked the question was Tan Ling. In her other hand, she held a small bag with compressed biscuits and a few small breads in it: "We won't use it for nothing."
Long Yilan blinked and confiscated the bag of food: "Use it."
Tan Ling didn't care and threw the bag of food into Long Yilan's arms, then took the girl to change clothes behind the screen.
"??? Why is she blushing?" Long Yilan noticed that Tan Ling's ears were red when she turned around and left, and she subconsciously thought she was shy.
Gu Bingchen: "Is there a possibility that you are embarrassed?"
Long Yilan: "Really? Don't you like me?"
"You are so narcissistic..." Gu Bingchen admitted that Long Yilan was indeed very beautiful. She was not the kind of beauty that would shock you at first sight, but a healthy and vigorous beauty. Add to that her 1.80 meter tall stature, and girls would really like her.
Obviously, Gu Bingchen should have known something else.
The rain outside did not stop, so they had to spend the night here.
Late at night, Xu Kewen opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?" The person who was on guard in the second half of the night was Tan Ling.
Xu Kewen yawned, feeling sleepy. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I... I'm going to the bathroom."
Tan Ling laughed and said, "Go ahead, be careful, and come back early."
Just as Xu Kewen entered the blind spot of the building, Gu Bingchen whispered, "Guess, did he go to call for help?"
Jiang Yunqi used a stick to stir the charcoal rolling in the bonfire, glanced sideways at the drizzling rain outside and the dark forest where he couldn't see his hand in front of his face, and pursed his lips, "It's possible." Xu Kewen
walked in the dark, in the rain, through a muddy path, and came to another abandoned building.
"Who's there?" A dark shadow sat on the first floor, his eyes glowing in the dark night, his voice was hoarse, and it was a man.
"It's me, Uncle Deng."
Xu Kewen changed his shy and quiet appearance in front of Tan Ling. He lifted his rain-soaked hair, revealing his facial features and sharp eyes.
Uncle Deng came forward with a cane and asked in confusion, "Why are you back?"
"Did you find new food?!" He raised his voice a little higher when he said the latter part, and his excited expression seemed a little scary in the quiet forest at night.
"Yeah." Xu Kewen's target was only Lin Jinnan and his men. Although he was jealous of Gu Bingchen and his group, who Tan Ling said were not easy to mess with, he was not sure that he could succeed. "I will bring the people over tomorrow. Uncle Deng, you go back and let them get ready."
"By the way, how is Xiaohe?" Xu Kewen took the cloth handed to him by Uncle Deng and wiped his hair.
Uncle Deng sighed helplessly: "Same old, still biting anyone he sees, I don't know when he will get better."
"Moreover, he's getting stronger and stronger, he almost broke free from the rope yesterday."
"Tie him twice more." Xu Kewen lowered his eyes, clenched his fists, his eyes firm, "It doesn't matter, we'll wait a little longer, he will definitely get better."
He estimated the time, and before leaving, he described the appearance of Jiang Yunqi and the other four to Uncle Deng, and repeated his request several times: "These people are unfathomable, don't fight them."
Uncle Deng licked his dry and flaky lips, grinned, laughed silently a few times, and greed flashed in his cloudy eyes.
Neither of them noticed that there was a person sitting on a tree five or six meters high, with his legs propped up, and he didn't know how long he had been watching.
How much he heard.
