Chapter 26 Mission: The reward for this mission is very high.
"It's so late, what's the matter?" Ashu opened the door with an impatient expression on his face.
As soon as she gets home, she takes off her clothes and transforms into a snake tail. When someone comes, she has to transform back into a human and put on clothes.
It's both troublesome and uncomfortable.
"Please do me a favor and go in and talk." Lu Erya said briefly and took out the guest slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on.
Xinxue couldn't help but exclaim when she saw this.
After living here for so many days, she had no idea there were spare slippers inside!
Hearing the voice, Lu Erya raised her head. It was the first time she saw Xinxue's face.
Just as she had guessed, Xinxue lived up to her name.
The eyes are big and the black and white are clear.
She was thin and clean, with a face that showed the innocence of a naive person and the shyness of meeting strangers. She gave people the feeling of a cluster of fresh snow on the top of a mountain.
It looks furry and feels good, but it is very cold and alienated. I'm afraid it will only melt towards people close to it.
Seeing that Lu Erya's gaze stayed on Xinxue for too long, Ah Shu made an unhappy sound and walked to the front to block her sight.
With a sullen face, he asserted his sovereignty: "Just tell me what you mean, don't look around."
"Sorry." Lu Erya walked to the table by the window and sat down as usual. She didn't seem to mind the messy handicraft materials on the table.
If possible, she didn't want to stay in this room for a minute. This position was the only one she could accept.
Fortunately, after Ah Shu and the others moved in, they kept adding things and the environment changed a lot, so she was not so resistant anymore.
Lu Erya looked earnestly at the woman with long, thick green hair and said straight to the point, "Our team can't complete the mission we've received this time, so we'd like you to join us."
Ah Shu wrinkled his nose and said, "If you can't do it, just give it to me. Forget about forming a team. It's troublesome."
She was not a meticulous person to begin with, and because she had little contact with the humans in the first team, she was able to hide her identity as an evolved species.
If they had been eating and living together for a long time, they would have been exposed long ago.
"It's different this time." Lu Erya pinched her eyebrows, and the gloom in her eyes deepened.
"Each team must complete several special missions assigned by the city lord every quarter to maintain the team's reputation.
This time it's our turn to hand over the cargo to Freedom Base."
"How are you going to get the cargo from over a dozen convoys? The pay for this mission is very high. The team will give you 30,000, and I'll personally give you another 20,000.
It will take some time for the city lord to prepare the goods, and we will set off in a week.
It takes more than a month to go back and forth, but if everything goes well, it might take less than 20 days."
In the past, such special tasks could be completed by going to the job market and recruiting more individual people.
But ever since the news of the Python King attacking the Third Squad broke out, everyone has become very cautious and will not easily accept such recruitment that requires leaving the city.
Not to mention the trade route to Free Base, which has to pass through the forest in the Python King's territory.
That is the only way, there is no way around it.
When they got this task, the members of the first team were shocked.
If it weren’t for the mayor of the Hope Base, who has always been known for his fairness.
They will definitely ask for a re-draw.
Yu Wei, the most worry-mongering member of their team, even spread out paper and started writing a suicide note, preparing to distribute his inheritance.
If you don’t manage the household, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.
Now Ah Shu starts to take charge.
Although Xiaobai still needs to act as an accountant to do the math when buying groceries, this is a full 50,000 yuan!
When she heard there was so much money, she was immediately tempted. "Where is the Freedom Base? How long will it take?"
Lu Erya knew that Ashu had not spent much time in the human world, so he was not familiar with those place names, and there would definitely be miscommunication.
So come prepared.
She simply took out a map and tapped it with her slender fingers.
"Look, this is our Hope Base. There are several bases nearby that we interact with, and Freedom Base isn't the farthest.
But on the way, we have to go from this road to this road, through the forest surrounding the Python King’s territory, and then walk for a few more days…”
"Python King?" Xinxue, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly turned around and looked at Ashu with an ambiguous smile in her eyes.
Being looked at by her like this, Ah Shu felt a little guilty for some reason.
She stiffened her neck and hummed, "Yes, it's the python king that the snake extermination team we originally wanted to join was going to fight, but I like Captain Lu more, so I teamed up with her!"
If Ah Shu attacks me, wouldn't that be like a snake with its tail in its mouth?
Imagining that scene, Xinxue couldn't help but giggle.
Seeing Lu Erya's puzzled look, she waved her hands embarrassedly: "The Python King is very powerful. I was sleeping at that time and didn't know that Ah Shu had the idea of becoming a snake-killing hero."
Not understanding what the two were talking about, Lu Erya withdrew her gaze and tapped the forest with her knuckles.
"This mission's difficulty lies here. The Python King attacked the Third Squad a while ago, and the base has ranked her as the most dangerous.
So we have to pass through her territory, Ah Shu, what do you think?"
Ah Shu stopped rolling his eyes.
No matter how she looked at it, she would of course close her eyes and watch it as she went back to her hometown.
Ah Shu: "I promise."
Of course, it would be a waste if I didn't take the 50,000 yuan.
Then she changed the subject: "The requirement is to bring fresh snow and give us two separate vehicles."
Lu Erya looked at her in surprise when she heard that. It was very dangerous to leave the base to go on a mission.
She thought that Ah Shu would leave Xinxue at the base just to be on the safe side.
But on second thought, Ah Shu's confidence in his absolute fighting ability.
You have to know that she didn't even have a car before, but she was able to live alone in the wild for a long time with Xinxue.
No matter who it was, it would be a miracle.
If she could be this powerful...
Her roses...
Without thinking too much, Lu Erya put away the desire to leave and said, "Okay, I'll be your driver myself."
"No need." Ah Shu took Xinxue's hand and looked at her with trust: "I want Xue to learn how to drive. She is very smart and will definitely learn it."
I feel uncomfortable just thinking about living and eating with Lu Erya for a month.
It’s definitely not as comfortable as when it’s just the two of them.
From the moment Ah Shu accepted the task, Xinxue's mood fell to the bottom.
They couldn't stand being apart for a few days, let alone a month.
But Ah Shu immediately said that he would take her with him, and she became excited.
But whether she was sad or excited, Xinxue wasn't ready to learn how to drive! She had trouble even steering!
Looking at the girl opposite with a look of both fear and excitement, Lu Erya now looked at A Shu with a completely new respect.
Driving long distances is hard work.
She thought that even if anyone learned to drive, it would be Ah Shu who would teach them.
I really didn't expect...
It’s to let the new snow bloom!
However, Lu Erya is not the type to interfere in other people's family affairs. As long as it doesn't interfere with important matters, it's fine.
She hummed, collected her thoughts and said, “Okay, both of you go.
There's still a week left, so I'll teach Xinxue how to drive first. If she really can't learn, I'll still drive."
