When Tang Xihe arrived near Mine No. 7, he smelled the tempting aroma of fried pork with chili peppers from afar, and this aroma was different from the aroma of fried pork and beef with chili peppers.
The spicy fried octopus meat has a strong umami flavor, and the smell alone makes you drool.
“It smells so good!”
Tang Xihe shouted and ran to the back mountain following the fragrance.
But once she reached the back of the mountain, she was startled by the massive size of the giant guard robot, which was surrounded by flames and nearly attacked.
The giant guard robot did not take action, or rather, it had no reaction at all and continued to patrol along the route mechanically.
Chen Wangping flipped the large iron spoon and poured out a large pot of fried octopus feet with chili peppers. He first gave one-third to the golden eagle, then shouted with a smile, "Don't be stunned, come and eat the meat."
"Come on."
Tang Xihe ran over and pointed at the giant guard robot and asked curiously, "Brother Ping, did you find this in the ruins too? Why does it look so new?"
Chen Wangping waved his hand and said, "The circuit board was found in the ruins. I used some tricks to rebuild it into a mechanical body. It's not very intelligent, so it can only patrol a fixed route."
Tang Xihe gave a thumbs-up and said, "That's pretty impressive! I heard that there aren't many forces in the central region that possess mechanical puppets, and most of them are incomplete. I once heard from my aunt that there's a ruin in the south that's full of intelligent mechanical puppets, with no living people in sight. People nearby are using crystal ore to trade with that force for small ruins technology products like radars and detectors."
Chen Wangping asked curiously, "Can radar only be produced in the ruins? I see there are so many types of superpowers, there should be mechanical manufacturing abilities, right? With so many people, could it be that they rely on the ruins to survive?"
Tang Xihe shook his head. "It's not that easy. Even if a few people awaken the ability to manufacture machinery, how many things can they make? How many people can use them? Besides, there are ruins everywhere now. There are several ruins near every city. With the production of ruins, who would bother to research technology and create things on their own?"
Chen Wangping frowned, but said nothing more. He took out his chopsticks and handed them to Tang Xihe, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat first. Eat as much as you can. Eating the meat of this giant octopus king can increase your resistance to poison gas. Eat as much as you can."
Tang Xihe's eyes lit up after hearing this. He picked up a piece of octopus foot with chopsticks, turned around and said with a smile: "The carving skills have improved recently. The thickness is so even."
The golden eagle puffed out its chest proudly, lowered its head and continued to eat its share in big mouthfuls.
Chen Wangping also picked up a piece of octopus foot and started chewing it. The fried octopus foot was quite chewy. It tasted like oyster mushrooms when you first bit it. After you bite it all the way to the bottom, a crispy texture emerged, and the garlic and spicy flavors filled your mouth.
The spicy taste of the chili peppers perfectly removes the strange and fishy smell of the octopus feet, and awakens its unique flavor, making it taste unique.
The morning passed quickly as we ate and chatted.
In order to build up resistance, Chen Wangping fried four large pots of octopus feet meat, totaling 60 kilograms. Later, he changed to grilling and frying them. The two of them and the eagle finally had a great meal.
At the end of the meal, he finally got the hint:
【Crude oil resistance has been increased to 50%】
Judging from the amount he ate, Tang Xihe ate only more, not less, than himself, so the effect should be similar.
After eating and drinking, he lay on the chair and relaxed.
According to my memory, there was no such thing as a unified ruler in this era. Territory was divided according to strength. The strongest, the ninth-level warriors, occupied the fertile lands in the center, where numerous ruins stood. Some even built cities directly within the ruins, relying on the various facilities of the ancient ruins for their livelihoods. Those with intermediate strength, such as the fifth-level warriors like Tang Huoniu, could only occupy more remote areas. Their cities would also be inhabited by spies from other wasteland organizations, such as the Fishing and Hunting Clubs, which were large organizations and were present in most cities. Further down, the third- and fourth-level warriors were unable to support their cities at all and could only rely on powerful individuals or organizations, seeking opportunities to get rich overnight in the ruins.
It can be said that this wasteland is very deformed.
As Chen Wangping thought about it, he frowned deeply.
Tang Xihe turned around and was about to talk to him when she happened to see this scene. She walked up behind him with a distressed look on her face and gently rubbed his head. "Is the wound hurting again? You've worked so hard to make so many delicious dishes today. I'll learn how to cook from Aunt Ren later and make something delicious for you to try."
Chen Wangping felt Tang Xihe's warm little hand and immediately relaxed a lot. He smiled and said, "No need. I can cook, that's enough."
After being rubbed by Tang Xihe for a while, he really felt refreshed. He silently planned in his mind, "First, I'll deal with Fang Bie, then go to the Black Oil Ruins to kill the giant Octopus King clone, and by the way, set up a production line for oil extraction. After making enough rockets, I'll destroy the Spirit Temple and ensure the stability of Fire Bull City. After developing the technology tree, I'll explore the Seventh Research Institute and find an opportunity to go to the central region to see more."
Take your time.
If I calculate carefully, I have been in this era for less than a month, but my life has been more fulfilling than in several years of my previous life.
Chen Wangping was enjoying it when he suddenly noticed Xiao Fang's light spot appear on the radar, approaching him rapidly.
A moment later, Xiao Fang anxiously rushed to the entrance of the mine. Before he could speak, he saw the golden eagle coming to lead the way, so he followed the golden eagle to the back mountain.
Sniffing the fragrance all over the ground, Xiao Fang couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and then he said anxiously: "Brother Chen, Fang Bie's subordinates suffered heavy losses last night. Three generals of the same rank as Zhao Sheng were killed, and they didn't even have any hands or feet left. He couldn't even find anyone to take revenge on. He was very angry. He called me early this morning and asked me to take Zhao Sheng back to defend immediately. What should I do?"
Chen Wangping stood up and filled a large bowl with grilled octopus slices, doused it with chili sauce, and handed it to Xiao Fang, saying, "Don't worry, eat while you're eating. What did you promise Fang Bie?"
Xiao Fang took the grilled octopus slices and answered while eating, "I can only agree to it. I will ask Zhao Sheng to go with me."
Chen Wangping smiled and said, "No problem. Leave the space device with me later. I'll shoot a few bullets at your clothes. Then you can go back and report that Zhao Sheng is missing."
Xiao Fang was a little confused and asked doubtfully, "Is this all right?"
Tang Xihe understood and explained with a smile: "Since three generals can die, what's the big deal if Zhao Sheng dies? Besides, Fang Bie has no one else to use right now. Even if he has doubts about you, he will wait until this matter is resolved before dealing with you. Brother Ping's method is no problem."
Chen Wangping nodded and said, "That's right. The other forces won't trust him so easily. Just go back to work without worry."
Xiao Fang suddenly realized and said in admiration: "So that's how it is. Brother Chen is awesome! I'll go back and report back and send a message later." After saying that, he left the space device and stood where he was.
Chen Wangping took a sniper rifle with energy effects and fired two shots at Xiao Fang's clothes, deliberately leaving traces of psychic energy. It was obvious at a glance that it was someone from the Spirit Hall who did it.
Seeing that the traces were ready, Xiao Fang happily held the meat in one hand and drove quickly towards Huoniu City with the other, feeling very relieved.
