Chapter 4 Someone actually wants to team up with me

Chapter 4 Someone actually wants to team up with me

"Thank you."

"It's such a small thing, you're really welcome. I'm embarrassed to have to spend money on you."

Lao Wang feels that Lin Fan is different from other survivors. In the apocalypse, he has gradually become selfish and unwilling to participate in anything from the warm-heartedness he once was.

In peacetime, when he saw a beggar, he would take out some change. Later, in the apocalypse, he became indifferent and only wanted to take care of his own one-third of an acre of land and did not want to care about anything else.

Lin Fan got the raincloth from Lao Wang, and Lao Wang took the initiative to help him set it up. He used a few poles as supports, spread the raincloth on it, and fixed the surroundings, leaving only an entrance. At the same time, Lao Wang also gave Lin Fan an old Use old blankets to spread on the floor to prevent earth air from entering the body and causing colds and fever.

Once you catch a cold in the apocalypse, you can only fight it hard. The lack of medicine makes medicine extremely precious.

He saw some children on the outer wall who had colds and fevers and burned to death without medical treatment.

Lao Wang checked around the simple residence and after confirming that there were no problems, he clapped his hands, nodded with satisfaction, and prepared to leave.

"You should also go to bed early. I will call you tomorrow."

"good."

After Lao Wang left.

Lin Fan stood in front of the shelter made of green raincloth and touched it gently.

‘It’s really a good development. I can have my own place on the second day after traveling to the end of the world. My development speed is amazing. ’

He will take pleasure in suffering and seek comfort for himself.

‘I entered the barrier on the first day, found a job and built a house on the second day. These days are really getting more and more promising. "

Lin Fan sniffed, feeling a little sore for some reason. He raised his head and looked at the starry night sky to prevent tears from flowing down the corners of his eyes.

"It's so beautiful."

He was immersed in the beautiful night. When a roar of strange beasts came, his beautiful thoughts were instantly shattered. He huddled in the raincloth and sat cross-legged on the blanket.

It's not too cold, just a bit stuffy.

"The rain cloth shelter will have to be replaced after a while, and a house made of wood must be arranged anyway."

As a Chinese who traveled through time and space, he has the talent for farming engraved in his bones. He always believes that as long as he makes a little change every day, the living environment will get better and better in the future.

…

The next day.

Jingle, jingle, jingle.

In the hot weapons factory, the survivors worked hard. As one of them, Lin Fan was unknown, but only he knew how much he had changed.

[Skill]: Blacksmithing (Basic 90/100)

Proficiency is improving rapidly.

Lao Wang on the side was used to it. He found that Lin Fan was really talented in blacksmithing. From a novice yesterday to a veteran today, the speed of progress was really scary.

Lao Shen was patrolling around. The smiling face of yesterday was gone, replaced by a serious and indifferent look. Even if he looked at Lin Fan, he would not show a smile.

It's as if yesterday's friendly solicitude seemed fake.

Suddenly, there was movement.

"Brother Shen, please don't fire me, please. I can't live without this job." A survivor begged, holding Shen Hai's thigh.

The surrounding survivors froze slightly, seemingly continuing to work, but in reality they were all terrified, fearing that they would be the next to be driven away.

"Let go." Lao Shen lowered his head and looked at the other party with indifferent eyes. The two words he spat out were very cold and contained no emotion.

The pleading man looked pitiful and met Shen Hai's indifferent eyes, and he let go of his hand in fear.

Shen Hai said coldly: "If your arm is injured, you can't do this job. It's impossible to get money by cheating. And you should also remember that anyone who is lazy at work should get out of here. There is no such thing here." Feed the idle.”

Lin Fan's expression became serious.

This is the coldness in the barrier. A useless useless person has no value.

Everyone alive has two sides. Think of Shen Hai yesterday, who was smiling all over his face. As Mr. Chen modified the car for him, the smile disappeared and he became extremely indifferent.

This is reality.

learned.

This kind of thing is just a small episode for him.

He couldn't just yell and point angrily at Shen Hai, "You've gone too far, why can't you give him a way to survive?"

Such behavior is not righteous, but stupid.

You must be low-key, steady, and humble.

Before you have absolute strength, there is no shame in surviving.

Swing the hammer, continue to strike, gain proficiency and improve your own strength.

No one who rides on a horse can stop him from striking iron.

Time to get off.

The panel has also changed.

[Level]: Level 0 (1/10)

[Physique]: 3.01

[Agility]: 2.0

【Spirit】：1.9

[Skill]: Blacksmithing (Intermediate 0/100)

Looking at my own progress, it’s really good.

After brushing the forging from elementary to intermediate level, his physical attributes improved a little. Even though it was a small thing, he could clearly feel the changes in himself.

Strength, physical strength are improved.

Make a fist, tense, hard muscles.

Although he is not invulnerable, he is definitely stronger than he was a few days ago.

This is progress, this is improvement, this is the capital for him to survive in the apocalypse, or even to survive better.

Hunting exotic beasts can get evolution points, which can be used to improve. It is indeed very fast, but he does not want to choose dangerous methods in pursuit of becoming stronger quickly.

If he can improve his skill proficiency, he can also improve his attributes, so he is willing to keep grinding boringly. Only when he has enough self-protection ability, he will try to improve his evolution points.

Get off work and leave.

When they came to the outer wall with Lao Wang, Little Hope ran over happily and called Uncle Lin sweetly. Lao Wang on the side took out the lunch and handed it to his daughter.

This job is very important to Lao Wang. In addition to having a currency, more importantly, there is a free lunch. Although pigs and dogs may not have eaten these foods in the past, it is very important to them now.

After parting ways with Lao Wang and Little Hope, Lin Fan came to the bookstore, where Mr. Chen was teaching the children, exactly as usual.

Lin Fan admired Mr. Chen very much.

If anyone among the survivors he met could be called a real 'human being', it might really be Mr. Chen.

Whether it is his behavior, spirit, or thoughts, they have not changed because of the end of the decade.

After talking to Mr. Chen for a while.

He left here and chose to look around in the outer wall. As he walked, he was greatly shocked in his heart. He could see the miserable life everywhere. The numbness and despair of the survivors did not need to be carefully observed, as if that kind of temperament It has solidified into a physical object and turned into a mountain pressing on their backs.

'If life is so bad, what's the point? ’

Lin Fan shook his head and put this negative thought behind him. It was equally hard for him to move bricks. The sun was scorching, he was sweating like rain, and he was physically and mentally exhausted.

But he has happy moments.

That was when he was surrounded by a group of girls shouting pigeons in the KTV, and he felt that he was happy. A month of hard work was worth a few hours of happiness.

Happiness is priceless.

Just like in the current apocalyptic situation, perhaps most of the time it is despair, but despair is often accompanied by a glimmer of hope.

For example, Lao Wang is like this. The light that supports him is his daughter. After a hard day and dragging his tired body after get off work, when he sees his lovely daughter, he will be resurrected with full blood and feel that all the efforts are worth it. .

A group of survivors surrounded the front.

Come closer.

Someone was found hanging.

Take a closer look. Isn't that the survivor who was driven away from the weapons factory during the day?

Suicide?

Lin Fan's pupils slightly dilated. He had never seen a dead person before when he came to the barrier, but now there was a dead person in front of him. The survivors around him were not talking about why they died, but looking at the corpse with greedy eyes. , just as if thinking of something, the greedy light disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, some people rushed to the other party's simple house and began to snatch things of little value. Some even put the body down and took away the hanging rope, while others pulled the clothes of the deceased.

Crazy, really crazy.

Everything in sight was taken away.

The patrolman came and saw the naked body. There was no change in expression. Instead, he raised his hands and feet and walked towards the distance. There was a faint sound.

"The vegetable garden has nutrients again."

vegetable garden?

nutrient?

Lin Fan lowered his head and looked at the ground, his heart beating suddenly.

He suddenly discovered something.

His mentality has not truly accepted the harshness of the end of the world.

He still has the normal heart of a time traveler, and the arrival of cheats makes him not pay much attention to the apocalyptic atmosphere.

Return to your residence.

He threw the few pieces of wood he picked up inside. He wanted to wait until he collected enough wood to make a bed for himself. Although there were blankets on the ground, it was still not very comfortable.

The next day.

He went to work with Lao Wang, and was stopped by a group of men halfway.

"Brother, are you interested in hunting exotic beasts together?" The man who spoke had a face covered in dust, and his skin was chapped, as if it could crack at any time.

"He's not interested. He works with me in the weapons factory. There's no need to go out and take risks." Before Lin Fan could say anything, Lao Wang hurriedly spoke first, and at the same time he kept making eye contact with Lin Fan, as if to say , don’t be fooled, it’s safest to stay here.

The man looked surprised, obviously not expecting that the other party was still alive.

But even so, the man still didn't give up.

Because he found that Lin Fan had a very good spirit and was completely incomparable to the survivors in the outer wall, so when he first saw him, he wanted to recruit him to join his team and venture outside together.

The man ignored Lao Wang, looked at Lin Fan and said: "You don't want to live like this, right? We should control our own destiny. The flesh and blood of alien beasts can make us stronger, and even have the opportunity to become awakened ones. Now the opportunity lies with you. Now, I would like to invite you to join our team and go out to hunt exotic beasts together."

"Look at my team, there are six people in total. He used to be a boxer and has a very strong body, but look at his current situation. He is not eating enough and is so thin. Look at him. He used to be a runner and he ran very fast. , but now, just because of timidity, you are dying slowly. Now you are in good health. You should not waste yourself like this. Give it a try, there is hope."

The man hoped to be able to explain to Lin Fan. After all, hunting prey is not a simple matter. It requires healthy and strong teammates. As long as he can kill one, it is a good start.

"Sorry, I'm not interested. You can find someone else." Lin Fan pulled Lao Wang away.

"Hey, hey, you shouldn't give up. This is your chance to rise. Do you want to be like these guys and spend the rest of your life here in confusion?"

The man shouted, but received no response from Lin Fan.

ahead.

Lao Wang whispered: "Don't listen to that guy's nonsense. I know that he used to recruit people to form teams, but not many came back. He even came back alone once, bringing an ordinary red-blooded alien beast with him. And where the others have gone, you know without even thinking."

"Yeah, I can tell." Lin Fan said.

He had just observed it.

Oh my god, what do the survivors look like?

The boxer was as skinny as wood, with a sallow complexion and thin muscles. He looked confused and sleepwalking.

The same goes for runners.

No different.

It looks like cannon fodder, an existence that attracts the firepower of alien beasts at critical moments.

Lao Wang continued to chatter. The general meaning is that we stay in the barrier. Although we are not doing well, at least we can still live. As long as we are alive, there is hope. Even if we really form a team, we must be with someone reliable. Talent works.

Barabara's...

When he and Lao Wang came to the inner wall, they suddenly found an acquaintance.

"Brother Lu, how are you?" Lin Fan greeted.

Although it was just the beginning of his contact with Lu Shan, he was still very grateful to Lu Shan. He already knew the value of that piece of meat leg. If it weren't for that piece of meat leg, his life would not be so miserable.

"It's you." Lu Shan also smiled when he saw Lin Fan, "You are..."

Lin Fan said: "Now I work in a weapons factory, which can be considered a way to make a living."

Lu Shan was surprised, then smiled and said: "That's a good relationship. I didn't expect that you would find such a good job in such a short time. Do it well, it's okay."

Lu Ying on the side was always very indifferent. When she heard that Lin Fan was working in the weapons factory, she was also surprised. She obviously didn't expect that Lin Fan would have such a job after just a few days here.

"Brother Lu, where are you going?"

Lu Shandao: "Last time I hunted a red-blooded ordinary alien beast. It was too ordinary. We are going to hunt the real alien beast. You do your best. I won't say much else. I'll see you again when we have the chance."

After saying that, Lu Shan took Lu Ying and left.

When Lu Ying passed by Lin Fan, Lin Fan showed a row of white teeth, and Lu Ying rolled her eyes.

Lin Fan could feel Lu Shan's friendliness, but at the same time there was a sense of alienation, and he just didn't want to get involved too much. After all, in the apocalypse, Lu Shan only believed in his sister, and he didn't trust anyone else.

"Are they the ones who brought you here?" Lao Wang looked at the leaving figures of the brothers and sisters, envious of the existence of strong men, strong men in the apocalypse, who can hunt strange beasts by themselves.

Lin Fan looked at Lao Wang's envious eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, it's them. Why, I envy their great strength."

Lao Wang knows his ability, "I'm envious, but I know myself. At my age, I don't have that ability. Let's go, let's go to the factory quickly. If we're late, we'll be doomed."

Lin Fan looked at Lao Wang's lonely figure with a smile on his lips.

I thought silently in my heart.

Lao Wang, let me tell you without bragging... I will definitely rise.

Just call me uncle with little hope.

I also want you to eat meat until you feel like vomiting.

The invisible pie silently enveloped Lao Wang.

Lao Wang in front of him involuntarily raised his head and looked at the sky, then looked at Lin Fan who was standing there and waved his hand.

"Hurry up, it looks like it's going to rain."

"coming."

…

Two days later.

In the weapons factory.

"Strange, why am I no longer proficient?"

After Lin Fan upgraded his blacksmithing to an advanced level, his proficiency did not increase at all.

No matter how hard he hit, the result was the same.

"Xiaofan, what's wrong with you?" Lao Wang asked doubtfully.

"It's okay, think of something."

Lin Fan smiled and then thought deeply. Lao Wang didn't think much and continued to forge. The long sword had already been formed. After a while of forging, it would be completed.

Lin Fan, who was thinking, glanced at the long knife on Lao Wang's anvil with his peripheral vision, and couldn't help but have an idea.

"Old Wang, I want to try forging finished weapons. Can you teach me how to do it?" Lin Fan said.

This is technical work and cannot be figured out by oneself.

You need someone to guide you step by step.

Lao Wang said without even thinking, "Okay, I'll teach you..."

If Lin Fan had made such a request to Lao Wang a few days ago, Lao Wang would have hesitated because he was not familiar with Lin Fan and he was afraid of being replaced.

But in the next few days together.

Maybe it's because Lin Fan has an attractive personality.

Let Lao Wang regard Lin Fan as his only friend in the barrier, and there is no need to say more from now on.

Lao Wang put down what he was doing and began to explain in detail.

"Forging the blank into shape requires a lot of technology, and there are many skills. It is very difficult. But who am I? I am Lao Wang, who has been professionally blacksmithing for decades. Ten years ago, people called me Lao Wang next door. It’s awesome.”

"Look carefully and study hard. Lao Wang will only teach you until you are good enough. You must cherish this opportunity."

Lao Wang has a sense of humor, and from time to time he will say something that will make you laugh if you think about it carefully.

"Haha, okay, please ask Master Wang next door to teach me."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

Thank you: Yi Jian Qing Xin, book friend 20220508102159064 for the reward, thank you.
