Vol 2 Chapter 1: No one is jealous of mediocrity
The high fire burned, the scattered sparks squeaked, the wood was burned into black charcoal, and the last bit of ash turned into soot, flying far away—
In the drowsy night, the hot wind that still can't be dissipated lingered on the side, and the face of the rest of the life after the robbery was illuminated by the firelight, the more redder and the more vivid it became.
After the eight of them brought Yu Fangqin back to join the others, they left City Z together. Now it is a high-speed open space not long after they left City.
After just experiencing a fight, a group of people either had lingering fears, or were bored to rectify and rest here.
"Hey, Big Bird, what do you think happened to the devil? Why do you often doze off since the flower and bird market came out?" Not far from the main force, there was a small bonfire. People are sitting around here.
Min Lufeng couldn't help the silent atmosphere, and the man who stabbed his body with his elbow made a noise.
"Well—" Lin Hexuan, who was holding a branch and was poking at the fire, raised his eyelids slightly and looked in that direction. I saw a woman sitting there with a soft cushion under her body, her slender waist was straight, the firelight brushed her face, the raised black silk was lightly lifted, and the black hair like a waterfall had a beautiful little face. If the shadows appear, the dazzling white skin also disappears with the fire.
At first glance, it's a good picture of a fairy under the fire of night, surrounded by fireflies.
He moved slightly to the side, and his eyes fell on the person beside the woman. Different from the domineering arrogance in the daytime, the man's magically carved face has a hint of laziness at the moment, and the two buttons are unbuttoned at the neckline, revealing the delicate collarbone, which looks a bit more sinister and attractive.
He looked back, turned his head to look at the curious person who was still probing his head, and raised his lips with a chuckle, "I don't know why that girl is dozing off, but I know that if you keep talking, maybe I'll give you a free gift. explosive head."
"Uh..." Min Lufeng choked suddenly, his head drooping with high interest, "Big bird, you are always so ignorant."
"Hehehe..." Lin Hexuan didn't say a word, just looked at him with a smile on his shrewd face, and looked at him with a meaningful smile.
Min Lufeng was suddenly shocked, and almost forgot, the big bird's flaw must be reported no worse than the devil's head!
He quickly smiled to please, and made a zipper closing gesture on his hand.
"Heh—" Lin Hexuan raised his lips and smiled, the dazzling light in the fox's eyes turned, and gradually regained his calm.
And at this moment, what is the female devil that Min Lufeng mentioned, that is, what is Fan Qianhan doing?
When she closed her eyes, she was not dozing off as Min Lufeng said, but farming.
Yes, it is farming.
When they were in the flower and bird market before, she and Lou Yanxiao finished collecting the guns, and on the way back, they collected all the seeds from the first room they saw in the first store. No, the seeds are ready, so naturally you have to think about how to plant them.
After asking the elf, the disappointing thing is that this space is not a space that can be planted by sprinkling beans and soldiers. The elves advocate the love of nature and get along closely with nature, so this kind of farming activities close to nature will never be lazy.
Therefore, this is also a pain for Fan Qianhan. People in the space have light, water, plants, and air. Naturally, they can hold living things. But the problem is that she can't just make a living person disappear like this, so the elf gave her a method, that is to use abilities.
Smash a hole in the ground with power, plant seeds in it with consciousness, and then water it. The thunder system smashes the pit, the water system waters, and the work is done.
Now, isn't she just smashing the pit and watering it hard!
Hey, I'm crying too much, but for the sake of her appetite in the future, she still did it resolutely. Of course, there is another point that it can also exercise the accuracy of her abilities. It's the best of both worlds. Naturally, I have to do it!
Thus, there was the scene of closing his eyes and dozing off that Min Lufeng saw.
The red-colored fire licked the dry wood, and the crackling sound continued.
"Aren't you going to eat with us?" A voice suddenly broke in, breaking the silence.
A few people looked over and saw Wu Junzhuo's hearty smiling face walking towards them.
Fan Qianhan paused subconsciously, then slowly opened her eyes and looked in that direction.
"Hehehe... No, we're not too hungry." Lin Hexuan also stood up and looked back with a smile.
"Really?" Wu Junzhuo looked at both sides of their empty bonfire and couldn't deny it.
"Let's just say what Captain Wu has to say." Lin Hexuan said with a smile. As for why he knew his surname was Wu, of course, it was because Yu Fangqin missed his mouth when he called. Therefore, they also "know" Wu Junzhuo's name,
"Hahaha... Now that you all know my name, I wonder if I can ask your honorable names?" Wu Junzhuo was not annoyed, and answered with a smile.
"Well, Captain Wu is very curious." Lin Hexuan's eyes flickered, and for a while, the two sides were at a stalemate.
"Heh-what's the problem, isn't it just a name, his name is Lin Er, his name is Min San, Yuan Si, Yuan Wu, oh, there is another building lord, let's just call it that." Fan Qianhan was planting After finishing the fifteenth seed, he also stood up, approached slowly, and said casually with a smile.
Wu Junzhuo: "..." The corners of his mouth twitched, girl, even if you use a pseudonym, you can go for dim sum, why don't you be so casual!
"Then... aren't they brothers?" Wu Junzhuo was struggling with an ugly expression.
"Oh, it's a brother, but it's not a real brother. You can tell from their looks, so naturally their surnames are different. It's just that their parents are a little weird, so they like to take names like this, and it's easy to say." Fan Qianhan spread her hands, and she also had a helpless expression with such a name.
Wu Junzhuo: "..." Pawn!
Min Lufeng and the others: "..." This female devil is also absolutely amazing!
I gave her a thumbs up in my heart, high, really high!
Fan Qianhan raised his chin, that's it. Moreover, Lou Yanxiao's high-profile name can't be said casually, otherwise, wouldn't everyone know his identity? Even ordinary people don't know about it, but as the youngest and most famous major general Wu Junzhuo, can he not know? so-
Wu Junzhuo twitched the corners of his mouth, resisting the sullen breath he scolded, "Where's the girl's name?"
"I—" Fan Qianhan raised her eyebrows, "I won't change my name, I won't change my surname, Fan Qianhan."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Junzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and finally heard a name that looked like his real name.
He grinned, revealing a big white tooth and said with a hearty smile, "Oh, Mrs. Lou."
Fan Qianhan twitched the corner of her mouth with a chuckle, Mrs. Lou, what the hell?
Min Lufeng gave him a weird look and gave him a thumbs up, big brother, you have the kind!
Lin Hexuan had a light smile on his lips, his eyes swept over the person who was still sitting not far away, and he smiled lowly, Mrs. Lou, this title is really good.
However, Lou Yanxiao, who was next to the bonfire, restrained himself a little unnaturally, changed his posture somewhat stiffly, and continued to poke at the pile of bonfires in front of him.
"Okay, let's talk, what the **** are you doing here?" Fan Qianhan waved her hand and said impatiently, she didn't believe that this person was just here to ask about food, what name, and other trivial matters.
"Yeah." Speaking of this, Wu Junzhuo, who was still smiling, also became serious, "I think you are very strong, are you interested in joining the army, our General Liu has already led people to become the rulers of the southern base, and now special Invite all powerful people to join in and fight against this apocalypse together.”
"Huh?" Fan Qianhan gave him a surprised look, but he didn't expect this to be the topic.
Liu Mei raised her eyebrows slightly, "Can you still contact me now?"
"Ah, I can't." Wu Junzhuo glanced at her. Isn't this obvious? After the end of the world, the magnetic field is chaotic, and the signals are even more messed up. How can they be connected.
Fan Qianhan smiled, "Oh, then why did you decide to invite us into the team? You're not afraid that we'll go in and spy on the military situation of unknown origin. Didn't you say that you need to be clean to enter the army, and you still need to investigate."
"This... a special arrangement for a special period. I believe that the general will also welcome you very much." Wu Junzhuo continued with a stern face.
"Oh, that means I haven't got the order of the general you said. Let's wait until the southern base to discuss whether to join the issue or not." Fan Qianhan waved his hand, indicating that the matter will not be discussed now.
"Uh... Okay." Wu Junzhuo touched his nose, but in fact he didn't expect them to join. A pair of eagle eyes flickered slightly, and they didn't seem interested in their appearance. It seemed that these people should have no other purpose for the army.
"Captain Wu, come over for dinner—" Yu Fangqin's voice came from the big bonfire over there.
Wu Junzhuo, who had planned to say something, could only give up and said to them, "Then you are free, we will leave tomorrow morning, it is not far from the southern base, and in half a day, we will be there tomorrow afternoon. Get ready."
"Yeah." Fan Qianhan nodded.
Glancing at the back of him turning away and the scattered people around the bonfire, tsk...with a chuckle, after all, he was still from the army, and this man saved a lot.
Turning around, looking at the few people who were still standing there stupidly, their brows were raised slightly, but they were not smiling, "Are you really hungry?"
"Hey, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm already hungry." Min Lufeng hurriedly smiled to please, isn't there no food, no food, how to cook it.
"Heh—" Fan Qianhan chuckled lightly, then turned around and took out things one after another under the deliberate cover of Lin Hexuan and the others.
Sausages, noodles, and tomatoes and quite a few fresh looking vegetables, seafood, oh, and a bloody, unnamed piece of meat with a burnt taste….
"There is no kitchen tonight, so let's cook a pot of noodles."
"Hey, okay, look at me." Min Lufeng smiled happily, "Big bird, big bird, come and help put some water, I'm going to start burning..."
After a while, a fresh and strong fragrance wafted from the empty venue, which was no worse than that of a high-end restaurant.
Wu Junzhuo, who was satisfied eating instant noodles at first, was a bit of a sucker at this time. No wonder those few people didn't make do with them. It turned out that they made more delicious food, and he didn't want to come over for him.
The Major General had a rare heartbreak, wondering if he should have a cheeky past and have a bite—
The others sitting around were also eager to move, and a girl looked in that direction with burning eyes, with covetousness and jealousy in her eyes, "Aunt Fangqin, why are they like this, eating alone there."
"Hehe... Why can't they eat their own things? Come on, there's still some instant noodles in the pot. If Xiaoqing is still hungry, I'll have some more." Yu Wangqin's well-maintained delicate and beautiful face has a gentle smile on her face. I didn't care at all that the girl in her twenties called her auntie.
"Oh..." The girl named Xiaoqing lowered her head slightly, looking at the bowl where she had only a few noodles left, but the fragrant smell lingered on the tip of her nose, her lips twitched, and her eyes flickered maliciously. "Then why the beautiful woman can be with them, is it because she is beautiful?"
She added in her mind, she is actually not bad, the handsome guys over there are like dragons and phoenixes, why are they holding that woman.
"Xiaoqing—" Yu Fangqin's originally smiling face suddenly stopped, frowning slightly and seemed to be displeased, obviously she didn't like that she looked down on Fan Qianhan. "That girl is also a person with great ability, and she is a husband and wife. It is only natural for them to be together. You are still young, so don't take detours."
"Yes, yes, what Sister Yu said is right, Xiaoqing, your words sound sour. If you have the ability, find a husband like that. Well, if you don't eat the noodles in the pot, then I will eat them. "There is also a woman next to her, looking at the same age as Yu Fangqin, she looks much smoother than that girl named Xiaoqing.
So, the rest of the noodles were fished out by her hand, and they were all gone.
"You—" Xiaoqing glared angrily.
However, she was pulled down by that person and whispered in her ear, "Xiaoqing, I don't care what kind of temper you used to be, but now it's better to put away your temper, I don't think that soldier is easy to mess with. Yes, if it wasn't for Yu Fuqin's face, you thought we could eat and drink together. Don't forget the time when Yu Fuqin disappeared. We were locked in that small room and were not allowed to do anything. Yes. Now if you make her unhappy, what if you drive us away again?"
"I—" Xiaoqing wilted at the thought of her previous experience and the fierce eyes of those soldiers.
His face moved slightly, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I know I'm wrong."
"It's good to know it's wrong." Yu Fangqin still had a kind smile on her face, but she was not as enthusiastic as before, as if there was a layer of estrangement. Although she is kind, she is not stupid. She has a general idea of whether some people can get along with each other.
Why! Sighing softly, the little girls she rescued before are still cute!
Wu Junzhuo saw everything in his eyes, and there was a smile in his eyes. It was worth his effort to bring people out and let Yu Fangqin, a silly girl, know the sinister heart of the human heart.
On the other hand, their conversations naturally fell into Yuan Tong's ears.
Yuan Tong said with a smile while scooping up the noodles, "Miss, there is a woman talking bad about you."
"Well—" Fan Qianhan's hand didn't slow down at all, and continued to scoop the noodles indifferently, "Whatever she says, no one is jealous of mediocrity, and some people say that only one can prove their excellent value, so, jealousy is also for me Sure, I'd love to see their ugly faces twisted with jealousy."
"Uh..." Min Lufeng's hand grabbing food paused, wiping his cold sweat, this devil is really logical!
But it does make some sense. Well, Big Bird often says that he looks black, so he must be jealous of his handsomeness!
"Hey, Big Bird, that piece of meat is mine—"
"Haha... You said what was yours is yours, it's all in the pot, jealous of me faster than you?" Lin Hexuan raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
Min Lufeng: "..."
The little pigeon laughed and said, "Hmph, cousin is right, that woman must be jealous of cousin, cousin, don't listen to that woman, Mommy said that such a woman is not a junior and is on the way to become a junior, so don't worry about her, she is also will kill itself."
Fan Qianhan raised her lips and chuckled, "Well, your mommy is right."
Min Lufeng continued to be speechless by the pair of cousins, what was this all about?
He snorted and ate a few mouthfuls, um, sure enough, he was invincible even when he cooked noodles.
"Cousin Cousin, what kind of meat is this? It's delicious and tender." The little pigeon ate a piece of meat with a mouthful of greasy food.
"Yeah, it's good." Fan Qianhan didn't answer. The meat was naturally the meat of the Ooao beast given by Sidsan. Although it wasn't chewy enough, it was tender enough and really delicious. It should be roasted. A little more flavorful.
Lou Yanxiao glanced at her sideways, his eyes fell back to the meat in the bowl, his brows were slightly wrinkled, this was definitely not the meat of any kind of food he had eaten, but where did she get so many strange things? What about things?
The arms chief who has read the apocalyptic novels has his brains wide open. Could it be that she has some golden fingers that can change all things—
Of course, this is what he has in mind.
After a full meal, they packed up their things, and the few people continued to sit boredly, without the slightest guilt for eating alone.
The major general who had been hesitating for a long time didn't have the cheek to come over to eat, because he dared to guarantee that if he passed, the stinky boys in his subordinates would definitely have thicker skin than him, not to mention that there are many people who are just around the corner. The rescued ordinary people.
A pair of eagle eyes is dark, tsk... it's so troublesome!
Fan Qianhan looked around, then took out her mobile phone, slowly opened the navigation, and whispered, "Well, there are still more than 1,000 meters away from the southern base, if the road conditions before are indeed tomorrow afternoon. will be there."
"Well, are you ready?" Lou Yanxiao rang in his ear with a low voice.
"Huh? What's the preparation?" Fan Qianhan raised her eyes and glanced at it, this is no end, what do you need to prepare for going to the southern base?
The curvature of Lou Yanxiao's lips slightly raised, and a pair of deep eyes fell on her, "Prepare for disguise—"
