Chapter 292 Being Hooked
There were no clouds in the sky, the clouds were a smoky gray, and the sun was shining high, and the hot sunlight fell on the black sea, creating a shimmering light.
Luo Yunjin sat obediently at home, staring at the ivy vines climbing up the wall in the yard.
It had been raining for a year and the weather was cold and gloomy.
The sun is scorching now, the temperature is rising, and you can feel the heat wave when you go out.
She has been staying at home with her child for two days.
In order to avoid the heat, many mutant animals in the mountains and forests are moving urgently to places close to water sources.
The pools on the mountain and the scattered ponds are regularly filled with water by water-based abilities.
Fortunately, there are many trees, which block most of the sunlight. In places with water, the mist is evaporating, making it relatively cool.
In order to relieve the heat, it is now popular to eat shaved ice, smoothies, and fried yogurt in the mountains. Even if most houses do not have air conditioners that can be driven by crystal cores, people can get ice cubes from ice-type mutants to cool down.
The conditions on Stone Mountain are fine.
Many small stalls at the foot of the mountain no longer work during the day due to the heat. During the day, everyone hides in the caves on their respective mountains and waits for the temperature to drop before returning to work at night.
Most people would rather be cool than hot.
In hot weather, many foods are difficult to preserve.
Pei Chuan sat in the watchtower, blowing cold air in the direction of the air conditioner.
He, Yuan Xiaoni and Duan Ya sat together at a small round table.
"These are the wild peanuts that the mutant squirrel family sent yesterday, and the beer was sent by Qian Yuanfeng. We can sit down and chat." Duan Ya looked at the two of them with a sincere tone.
Yuan Xiaoni was a little reserved. She knew that Pei Chuan's mood had been changeable recently.
"First, Pei Chuan, you've been frequently distracted and dozing off on duty lately. A mutant eagle even pooped right in front of you, and you didn't even notice," Duan Ya said slowly, crushing a peanut shell. "And Xiao Ni, you haven't been helping out in the infirmary much lately, and you've been absent-minded on duty."
"I, I will adjust my condition. It may be because the weather is too hot." Yuan Xiaoni was very nervous. She regarded Duan Ya as her boss.
"I'm fine, just a little tired." Pei Chuan said calmly.
Duan Ya crushed two more peanut shells. "I know that according to the time before the apocalypse, it's spring now, the best time to see the animal world. But you have to know that our work in the watchtower is very serious. If your body really can't bear it, leave here and find something else to do."
He had just said it casually, but he didn't expect Pei Chuan to stand up directly.
"Okay." Pei Chuan turned around and went back to his room to pack his luggage.
Yuan Xiaoni pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "I may have to take care of the work of both the watchtower and the infirmary at the same time, and my body can't take it. I'm sorry, Brother Duan." After she said that, she ran away.
Duan Ya, who was left behind, said: ???
He had been planning to use a conciliatory policy to get the two people to be a little more serious, but in the end, they were both scared away by him?
The watchtower, cafeteria, and conference hall on Stone Mountain are all very busy right now.
On the contrary, cinemas, buffet restaurants and hotels are leisurely and comfortable.
In addition, many people have built houses and settled in the mountains, and many people are unwilling to do hard work.
Similar incidents occurred not only in this watchtower at a height of 400 meters, but also in other watchtowers.
After several months of development, the Stone Mountain has now reached a height of more than 1,600 meters. There are a total of 14 watchtowers, with three psychics stationed on each tower.
After Luo Yunjin learned about this, he decided to conduct a second recruitment of people with special abilities to fill the shortage of staff on the mountain.
But in order to ensure the quality of the psychics on Stone Mountain, they only want psychics of level six and above.
This undoubtedly attracted many survivors from the surrounding mountains.
Anyone with eyes can see how great Stone Mountain is now.
On such a big mountain, there are no more than 150 people with special abilities.
Since this is a large-scale recruitment, screening is also required.
Duan Ya and Qian Yuanfeng brought a group of people with special abilities to build a staff dormitory 300 meters high on the mountain to temporarily accommodate the people with special abilities who were about to be selected.
All newly recruited people with special abilities must undergo a one-month trial observation period. During this period, they can only move below 500 meters and are not eligible to climb higher up the mountainside.
Because of the threshold, there were less than a hundred survivors participating.
Most of them are serious and seem honest, and they all cherish this opportunity very much.
After preliminary selection and ability testing, 82 people were finally recruited.
The staff dormitory can accommodate 500 people, all of whom are single rooms.
"Your current job is simple. We have four watchtowers that need personnel. Each watchtower will have a star-level psychic to familiarize you with the environment and daily tasks. Everyone will take turns on duty at the four watchtowers. Also, we are constructing a large lotus pond on the mountainside 300 meters away. We will bring you there in batches every day."
Duan Ya finished explaining the work details. "Of course, during the one-month probation period, we will provide three meals a day and fruit after meals. The working hours per day will not exceed eight hours."
Everyone was excited. The stone mountain was shaded by green trees and was cooler than the mountain below.
There is no air conditioning in the dormitory, but there is air conditioning in the watchtowers every 100 meters. After the final trial period, those who are interested can be arranged to live in the watchtowers for a long time.
The fact that three meals a day are provided alone is enough to attract many people.
I have known for a long time that the treatment on Stone Mountain is very good, and all the people on the mountain are high-level psychics.
Now that they have become one of them, many people believe that they also have the opportunity to obtain the secret to rapid promotion.
"Now, I want to explain what you need to pay attention to! During the probation period, you are not allowed to go to areas more than 500 meters away without permission. You are not allowed to bring supplies down the mountain without permission. If we discover any spies, we will deal with them seriously."
Duan Ya knew very well that when there were too many people, there would definitely be people who would take advantage of the chaos, especially spies from other bases and those with secrets.
Three meals a day are delivered by staff assigned by the canteen.
Chen Die cherishes the opportunity to work here very much. He has always understood that there are always people better than you. Everything on this mountain makes him curious. As more and more tasks are assigned to him, he even feels that the overall strength of this mountain is not much worse than that of the central base.
The weapons in the watchtower were advanced weapons he had never seen before.
There are also many mutant plants on the mountain, especially the carnivorous plants set up at every intersection.
There are many mutant animals living in the mountains and forests. These animals can grow crops and raise their own livestock, and there are artificial pools or ponds supplying water at regular intervals.
The large pond currently under construction will be used to raise fish and aquatic vegetation.
Ninth-level and star-level psychics can be seen everywhere on the mountain.
Many of them even have rare abilities.
The more he knew, the stronger his sense of awe became. He knew that this was his chance and he had to do his best.
On this day, many people with special abilities went down the mountain for team building.
They found a forest and had a picnic.
Many survivors who were on probation saw this and looked at them with envy.
"Don't be envious. Once we become official, we can also go up the mountain."
"Yes, the food here is really good. I heard that there are people with special abilities who specialize in raising wild boars in the mountains, so we can all eat meat. The braised pork at noon today was so delicious that I could almost eat it!"
"We're so lucky! Xiao Zhang is just at the beginner level of level six. I didn't expect Stone Mountain to recruit so many people this time. I heard that five months ago, many of the esperants on the mountain were still level five or six, but now they've all become level eight or nine, or even star-level esperants. There must be a way to quickly advance here!"
Chen Die, who was walking at the end, heard their conversation and his eyes flashed slightly.
Luo Yunjin was also pulled down the mountain by Xiao Choujue to participate in team building today, and she also brought Axun down with her.
The milky-scented baby is loved by many people.
Three cats stood next to the baby stroller and never left its side.
Luo Yunjin was wearing a loose aqua blue dress and a white lace sun hat. She sat in the crowd, looking graceful and elegant.
Chen Die saw the dazzling girl at first sight, and his heart began to beat fast.
Luo Yunjin usually stays on the top of the mountain. Not only the employees on probation, but even many psychics who have lived on the mountain for more than five months rarely see her.
"I didn't expect there would be so many beautiful girls on the mountain." Zhang Xiaoai smacked his lips, a little stunned.
The aroma of barbecue attracted many mutant animals.
The mutant gray rabbit family came from afar to send a basin of red berries.
They knew that Luo Yunjin liked this, so they always prepared a basket every time they went out.
The little gray rabbit moved next to the little tabby cat and stared at the baby in the stroller.
Chen Yueliang installed small colored lights on the surrounding tree branches to create a more pleasant atmosphere.
Chen Die's throat rolled, and he stumbled to catch up with the person in front of him, looking back every step.
"I just happened to bring some spinach and perilla leaves." Luo Yunjin took out a lunch box, took out the leaves that had been preserved with ice cubes and placed them on a napkin.
The pork belly is fat and lean, and it is juicy after being roasted.
Roll up two pieces of meat and place them on the leaves, then spread a little spicy barbecue sauce and add a few cucumbers. If you like garlic or green onions, you can also roll them up a little.
One bite and it’s super satisfying.
The wings of the mutant pheasant are three times larger than those of ordinary chicken wings. The meat is delicious and two of them can make you feel full.
Luo Yunjin didn't have much of an appetite. After eating a little, he took the three cats for a walk in the stroller.
Just after dusk, the breeze rustled through the leaves, bringing a fresh and fragrant scent.
The cat's paws stepped on the ground, leaving plum blossom footprints.
Suddenly, there was a sound of water coming from a pool not far away.
She pushed the cart over and saw a man holding a bucket and filling it with water from the sink for a shower.
Chen Die noticed the movement behind him and quickly put on a bathrobe. When he turned around, he cleverly lifted up most of the collar to reveal his strong sternocleidomastoid muscle.
The black cat glared at the man with sharp eyes.
As a man, Pei Chuan knew that the man in front of him was doing it on purpose and had ulterior motives.
It walked to Luo Yunjin and rubbed her ankle with its tail.
The girl felt itchy and gently scratched the cat aside.
She continued pushing the cart toward another path.
To be honest, the figure of the person just now was pretty good, but she had seen the best, so she felt nothing after seeing it.
Chen Die's heart was beating fast and his eyes were full of anticipation.
He couldn't see her clearly in the crowd just now, but when he looked closer, he found that the girl was very beautiful and fair-skinned, the type he liked.
He secretly encouraged himself, he knew that most of the psychics on the mountain were at the ninth level or even star level.
He himself is also a ninth-level mutant, and he thinks he is good-looking, and people have been following him since the end of the world.
But this was the first time his heart was moved.
"Hey, how are you?" Chen Die called out. "Can you help me get those clothes over there?"
Luo Yunjin didn't look back.
The black cat kicked the tabby kitten.
The tabby cat immediately grabbed the black bag on the lawn and placed it at Chen Die's feet with disgust. Then it jumped quickly to Luo Yunjin's side, as if it was afraid that it would get stuck with something dirty.
Chen Die was a little confused, as if it was different from what he expected.
This girl wasn't attracted by his beauty? Was he not being explicit enough, too reserved?
Just as he was daydreaming, Luo Yunjin had already pushed the cart away.
The black cat turned into a human in a place where there was no one.
"That guy just now should be a probationary employee. He seems to have feelings for you." Pei Chuan observed the girl's expression.
"Isn't this normal? I'm so good-looking, who wouldn't like me?" Luo Yunjin waved his hand indifferently, "But that person isn't my type."
Pei Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, but his body tensed. "So what type do you like?"
"It makes my eyes light up the moment I see it!" Luo Yunjin said casually. She bent down and handed the bottle to Xiaobao, who was looking at her curiously with wide eyes.
The tabby cat is almost dying because of the cute baby. It is so cute that it wants to cheer the baby up!
There are small yellow wildflowers in the grass by the roadside.
The little leopard cat picked up two flowers and gave them to the little tabby.
Although the tabby cat was disgusted, he still tied the two small flowers behind his ears.
The sky gradually darkened and the temperature began to drop.
Luo Yunjin took the baby and went back before it got completely dark.
At night, in the staff dormitory.
Chen Die lay on the bed, supporting his head with his hands, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Tossing and turning.
When he came back, he met a few girls. When they saw him wearing a bathrobe, they blushed and shyly avoided him, then turned back to peek at him.
But the girl's reaction before was completely wrong. She seemed to have no interest in him at all and was very annoyed.
"Everyone, please pay attention. We are at Watchtower No. 12 at a distance of 1,300 meters. We have detected many black unidentified creatures in the center of the ocean 20 kilometers away from the mountain. Please be vigilant. All those with special abilities above level eight should gather at the nearest watchtower. We will immediately close the mountain." Xiao Wangba's voice was heard through the speakers in all the buildings.
"Low-level psychics, please stay where you are and don't go out~"
On the stone mountain, all the mutated plants at the entrances and exits grew up instantly.
Among them, the seemingly inconspicuous thorns at the foot of the mountain quickly climbed and spread, and countless branches grew rapidly around the stone mountain. After a while, dozens of mutated thorns completely wrapped the entire stone mountain.
Many employees on probation have an inexperienced look in their eyes.
Chen Die is a ninth-level psychic. He quickly followed the others to the No. 3 Watchtower 400 meters away.
Through the telescope, you can see unidentified creatures in the sea dispersing in all directions, and some of them are swimming towards the stone mountain.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, we could clearly see that they were a group of zombies with fish tails, and they looked a bit like the mermaids in storybooks.
