Chapter 55
"Say it again!"
Zuo Yi's face instantly turned gloomy, and his black eyes looked at Wang Xing coldly.
Wang Xing mustered up his courage and spoke again: "No more, I've finished eating."
"What? That's all it's gone. You guys are willing to eat and drink so much of such a small amount of supplies. Are you really planning to starve to death in the future?" Xu Shentou had a painful look on his face and was spinning around anxiously on the spot.
The others also looked lost, and the light in their eyes suddenly dimmed as if they had suffered a blow.
Zuo Yi's face grew even colder, and his breath quickened. Just when Wang Xing thought he was going to slap him to death, the man spoke: "Throw him out of the village tomorrow, and pretend you've never met him."
Then he turned around decisively, quickly pushed open the wooden door and walked out of the room.
——clang.
After the loud noise, the wooden door creaked and slowly closed.
Everyone in the room looked at each other, sighed, and went out. Finally, the only person left in the room was the young man who was seen as soon as he opened his eyes. His name seemed to be Zuo Xiaochuan.
Zuo Xiaochuan also lost his previous excitement. He glanced at Wang Xing and said weakly, "Go to sleep. I'll send you out at dawn tomorrow."
Then he blew out the candle and lay down on the floor again to sleep.
The air returned to silence, and Wang Xing suddenly felt a little guilty, as if he had done something wrong.
In fact, there was enough food in his space for 50 people to eat for two days, but everyone's safety was not guaranteed at the moment. In addition, he was caught in this inexplicable ghost place, so he had to hide some of his strength.
That man saved my life, so I should repay him with gratitude. Isn't my behavior too heartbreaking?
But judging from the situation today, they saved him entirely because of the food in his space. If it weren't for the food, they wouldn't have extended a helping hand.
But they saved me after all. If it weren't for them, I would have died long ago.
After going around in circles, Wang Xing returned to the starting point. He didn't know how to persuade himself for a moment. He spent the whole night thinking in a daze and fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night.
When he woke up during the day, the room was empty except him.
"Is anyone there?" he called out.
"Is anyone there?" he called again.
Seeing that no one answered, Wang Xing stood up, picked up the protective helmet beside him, put it on his head, buckled it, and walked out.
It was a small village, with a loess road running through its center, visible from end to end. On either side of the road stood thatched houses of varying sizes, each covered with a uniform blanket of giant leaves.
There was no one on the street, probably everyone was hiding at home or going out.
Wang Xing walked along the dirt road and soon heard some noise, including those of the elderly and children.
His heart moved and he walked towards the sound.
At the end of the village, five or six acres of land were opened up and various crops were planted in it.
Among them, he recognized potatoes and a climbing plant he had never seen before. The green leaves looked very healthy, as if it were a plant that had not mutated.
In the sunlight, they actually grew food without mutations!
Wang Xing was shocked.
He didn't go forward, but stood aside and watched quietly.
There were many people working in the fields, and there were also children playing and adults drawing water by the fields.
They were all wrapped tightly in rags, with only a pair of dark eyes showing. They lined up in an orderly manner and took turns to receive half a bucket of water from an old man with a cane.
Wang Xing's sharp eyes revealed that the old man was a high-level water user, and the water he released was extremely clear. Wang Xing guessed that these plants probably relied on this water source to prevent them from mutating.
But even at a higher level, they have to grow crops and feed so many tribesmen, and as they get older, their physical strength is inevitably insufficient.
The further he went, the more his fingertips trembled, and he could hardly hold on any longer. But he did not stop his movements, and the clear water continued to flow from his fingertips.
Wang Xing's eyes suddenly felt like they were being pricked by needles. He was overdrawing his own life to feed these villagers. He clearly had no special abilities, but he still rushed forward recklessly.
Sure enough, before he could stop it, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in front of him, followed by the villagers' anxious shouts.
"Chief, what's wrong with you?"
"Someone come, is there anyone who can help the patriarch?"
Wang Xing’s first reaction was to go over and check it out, but before he could get close, he was stopped by a group of men.
They shielded their eyes with their hands, warily looking at the unfamiliar face. The man in front of them wore a helmet they had never seen before, fine clothes, and a very healthy complexion. It was obvious that he had enough to eat, unlike them.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Wang Xing choked. Should he say that he was captured? Then they would not believe him even more.
Seeing that he couldn't explain his identity for the moment, he could only anxiously explain his purpose: "Let me pass, I can save him."
Everyone relaxed a little upon hearing this, but their concerns were still there. They stared at Wang Xing and asked, "Why should we trust you?"
Wang Xing opened his mouth, but heard an old voice behind him: "I know this kid, let him come over."
Several men turned around immediately, as if they couldn't believe that the clan leader knew this strange man. "Clan leader! You must be on guard against others."
The patriarch shook his head, a few strands of silver hair struggling to emerge from his turban. He spoke slowly, as if he had exhausted all his strength in just one sentence: "It's okay, I believe him. I'm an old man who's almost buried in the ground. What else can I deceive?"
Everyone wanted to say something but stopped themselves, but still made way for him.
Wang Xing came to the old man under their staring gazes, and saw him turn his palm upwards, and a plate of pills appeared in his hand.
He picked out a pill and handed it to the old man, saying softly, "Eat it with water."
As soon as the old man saw him take out the medicine, he knew that something was wrong. He said tremblingly, "Thank you... Thank you!"
Then he took the pill and put it into his mouth, drank a sip of water brought by the villagers, and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
The situation changed in an instant. The old man's pale and livid face faded a lot in an instant, and the large spots on his face seemed to fade as well.
What Wang Xing handed him was high-grade Fu Kangning. If he had used a radiation bracelet to detect it, he would have found that the old man's radiation value had dropped by a full 1,000 points.
Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Wang Xing took the initiative to explain: "This is radiation-reducing medicine. It can reduce the radiation level in the body."
Radiation medicine!
Is this a new product developed by some shelter? Why have I never heard of it before?
No matter what, this is a rare treasure, but now he actually gave such a precious treasure to his own clan leader.
Thinking of their previous suspicions about him, everyone's eyes suddenly became guilty.
But the more surprising thing was yet to come. Wang Xing then took out a few colorful candies from the space, peeled one and handed it to the old man: "You have a little low blood sugar. You need more sugar."
The colorful candy is extremely eye-catching. It is made in the shape of a small watermelon, with crystal clear color, and it emits light in the sun.
Under the gaze of everyone, the patriarch put the fruit candy in his mouth, and immediately a sweet watermelon smell filled his mouth and nose.
It was so sweet! He hadn’t eaten such sweet candy in a long time. He had seen this kind of candy when he was young, but he disliked it and didn’t like it at that time. Later, he couldn’t eat it even if he wanted to.
When several children saw the few remaining candies in Wang Xing's hand, they looked at them for a few seconds and then forced themselves to look away. If it were before the end of the world, they would have loved to eat candies and would have found it difficult to resist the temptation of candies.
Wang Xing smiled and held out his hand to them: "Come on, each child take one."
The children just hid their hands behind their backs and did not take it. They looked at the patriarch inquiringly.
Wang Xing felt particularly distressed when he saw how they wanted to take the candies but didn't dare to. He stuffed the candies in front of them one by one and said, "Take them. Brother has plenty at home."
The patriarch nodded, and the children took the candy, said thank you, and went to the side to enjoy the food.
The tribe leader had taken the medicine and gained strength, and he could speak fluently. He looked a little guilty: "Young man, we were sorry for what happened yesterday. I want to apologize to you on behalf of Xiao Zuo and his group."
Wang Xing shook his head: "It's okay, he saved me."
The clan leader finally felt relieved and said, "That's good, that's good. Xiao Zuo asked me to send someone to escort you out today. Do you want to stay here for a few days?"
"My teammates are waiting for me. I have to leave right away." Wang Xing looked around and hesitated, "But I have a suggestion, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
When he heard that he was about to leave, the clan leader's eyes were obviously disappointed, but then there seemed to be a turn for the better. He stared at Wang Xing again and said, "You tell me, tell me."
Wang Xing thought of the radiation spots on the hands of the children who had received the candy and frowned, saying, "This place isn't suitable for living here. It's easy to get sick if you live here for a long time."
"So I would like to recommend that you live in my shelter. Would you be willing?"
Everyone had just watched Wang Xing rescue people and had long been attracted by his magical supplies. Now they were all staring at the two of them, and they couldn't wait to know what the patriarch thought.
A flash of joy flashed across the patriarch's face, and then he became a little overwhelmed: "Will it be troublesome?"
Such a good thing must be very rare. This kind young man is willing to share it, but will others do the same?
Wang Xing could understand his feelings very well. After all, everyone who didn’t know about the shelter would go through this stage.
He explained with a smile: "No, the owner of our shelter likes a lively atmosphere. The more people there are, the happier she is, so you are more than welcome to come."
"Our shelter is fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. The medicine I just took out is from the clinic here, and each pill only costs 20 crystal cores. There's also a restaurant, public transportation, a weapons shop, and more. The boss is incredibly resourceful, and they have everything you need. You don't have to worry about going hungry there."
Seeing everyone's eager expressions, the clan leader couldn't help but agree: "Okay, let's go."
"no!"
Almost at the same time, a loud shout was heard.
