Chapter 33
The construction site is actually supplied with water. As long as it does not rain, the temperature will be frighteningly high. If the water is not replenished in time, it will soon become dehydrated.Fortunately, there was a heavy rain yesterday, and now the construction site is not short of water, and it was sent to the construction site after being boiled.Many people who work on the construction site go to drink every once in a while and take a big bottle with them, otherwise they will not be able to work and dry in the sun. Even after sweating like this, they don’t have to go to the toilet for convenience.But what about the taste of this water? Naturally, it can only quench thirst and replenish water. It is impossible to drink as much as possible. Now there is no such condition here.
It took an hour on the weekend to finally complete the 50-meter wall he was in charge of. The wall is five meters high and two meters wide. In fact, it is not easy to rock.But on weekends, he has the earth-type supernatural crystal nucleus in his hand, so there is no need to worry about the supernatural ability, so he doesn't need to go to the shed under the city wall to practice and replenish. The whole body is covered with earth-type abilities.
No need to think about it on the weekend, it must be the president who sent him the ability to supplement it. The person who cares about him most in this world is probably the president.Weekend would never believe that other than the CEO, there are people in this world who would help him like this. Now that he thinks about Weekend, he feels that he did not save the CEO in vain.
After completing the task assigned above, I immediately ran to the president on the weekend. The president was assigned a petrochemical distance of 100 meters. At this time, there were still about ten meters left to complete the task.
Weekend already knew that the president was hiding his strength, so he was not surprised. He ran to the president and handed over a bottle of water on the weekend. Chen Rui looked at the young man with a white towel on his head, sweat on the tip of his nose, and flickering eyes asking for credit. No matter how you look at it, how happy you are.
Taking the water handed by the young man and pouring down half a bottle in one gulp, it really cools the heart and relieves the heat. Chen Rui knew that the young man must have put half of the ice in the water. It is really refreshing to take a sip in this weather.
"It's very good, it's cool, yes, I'm almost finished here, and we'll go to the shed under the city wall to rest for a while, and then we'll build a distance, and we should be able to get a house at night, and no one will Excuse me, I'll cook something delicious for you tonight." Chen Rui said to the smiling young man in front of him with a smile.
Hearing delicious food on the weekend, his eyes seemed to be lit up, and he immediately lowered his voice happily and said as if he was afraid of being overheard: "Really, that's great, I'm lucky, President, what ingredients do you want for cooking?" Tell me all, and I'll take care of it."
Chen Rui poured down the last half bottle of water and nodded, "Okay, but don't forget to add some sugar and salt when drinking water. This sweat is a bit severe, and there will be problems if you don't replenish it for a long time."
"Okay, I remember." Zhou Zhou nodded and said, he really forgot this point, although the water provided by the construction site does not taste very good, but it has added salt, which can replenish the lost salt in time, if the president does not remind If they go on like this, they will soon have problems with their bodies, and the lack of salt will make their bodies weak and weak.
Chen Rui's movements are very fast. For him, petrifying the wall here is a breeze. It's only a hundred meters. If he goes all out to petrify, it will definitely exceed ten times.Chen Rui didn't know what happened to other people's abilities after they were upgraded, but after he upgraded, he didn't need to replenish them at all. As long as he needed earth-type abilities, the earth seemed to give him a gift.But it can’t be done on weekends, and even the purity of the soil ability that absorbs and transforms is much worse. Chen Rui knows that there is a difference, but the difference is a bit big, so Chen Rui doesn’t have all the strength at that place, but he just took out an ability that is two times stronger than others. level more strength.
The current him has no foundation after all, not to mention that this time Chen Rui has no interest in pulling out the team. Thinking of what Bai Yixuan did back then, many of those people benefited from him, but unfortunately, in the end, no one stayed for him. If it wasn't for the weekend, he would have already given his little life, and he lived only for this young man.
The two came down from the fence and sat on the shed to rest. On weekends, they took out dried meat and compressed biscuits from their backpacks. They ate them slowly and then added some sugar. They even ate more than ten grams of food in the hairball.
After resting for about ten minutes, they pretended to absorb a few corpse crystals. About an hour later, Chen Rui led the weekend to pick up the task again. The two climbed up the fence again, but this time they picked up 150 meters together. Not separated, petrified walls together.They built the fence on weekends, and other supernatural beings were assigned to patrol to deal with the scattered zombies wandering from Ningxiang County. Once a group of zombies came over, the military would immediately gather and wipe them out.
The sun was gradually setting to the west, probably the movement of clearing Ningxiang County attracted most of the zombies, there were not many zombies in the suburbs, and the mutant beasts were too hot to come out to look for food during the day.Except for a few small waves of zombies attacking on this day, Xincheng had a peaceful day.
They installed three sections of walls over the weekend, and the last time they petrified 50 meters, a total distance of 500 meters. This distance is already quite impressive.Generally, low-level rock-type powers can petrify more than ten meters per day, even if the limit of 70 meters for the first-level power is usually six to seventy meters.It is rare for them to recover so quickly and absorb corpse crystals so quickly like weekends.
But it wasn't nothing, weekend and Chen Rui only showed a little protruding, not a big problem, it attracted the attention of the higher-ups, but it didn't arouse the prying eyes of the higher-ups.Mu Xiu Yu Lin Feng must destroy Chen Rui very well, now his strength is not strong enough to be dreaded, so it is better to keep a low profile as much as possible.
The temporary team leader came over during dinner, and weekend and Chen Rui also received meals, very simple things, two steamed buns mixed with wheat bran for one person, should be directly ground into flour without removing the wheat bran.A bowl of rice porridge is mostly water, and a plate of very, very salty pickles.Fortunately, the amount of steamed buns is still sufficient, at least four taels per one, although it is a little less for an adult man, but with a bowl of thin porridge, he will not die of hunger, and it can ensure that he will have strength for work tomorrow.
After Chen Rui had dinner on the weekend, the two of them went to the temporary captain to sign the contract with the task board. They alone are not enough to claim the house, but the completion of the 500-meter distance between the two of them is already quite impressive. Come tomorrow and continue to take the task to complete the same 500 meters as today, and the two of them will be able to share a house of about [-] square meters.
At present, the total length of the walls of the satellite city is [-] kilometers, and one wall is [-] kilometers. The coarse cloth is built squarely.The surrounding communities and some open spaces can be enclosed, and the rest will be built slowly in the future. The most important thing now is to be able to settle the survivors from Jiangcheng and help the base to share the population pressure.
The temporary captain looked at the degree of completion of the two and couldn't believe it. He stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Zhou's shoulder. He originally wanted to pat Chen Rui on the shoulder, but the president's appearance was too cold, and the temporary captain didn't dare go down.Zou Cheng opened his mouth and said with a smile: "You two brothers are really good, work hard. Now, except for some of them that have been booked, most of them are empty houses. You should think about which floor you want to choose first, and then gather the ones who have completed half of the tasks. People, let’s go and choose a house together.”
Weekend and Chen Rui naturally had no objection, listening to the interim captain Zou Cheng talk about who has worked so hard these two days, he can already change the house with the completed tasks, and that comrade was injured while killing mutant zombies...
However, people who had to wait for more than ten minutes came, and there were five or six. It was stipulated that Xincheng could use contributions to exchange houses, but only stone-type and earth-type people could have such a discount. To a certain extent, there is also the right to give priority to renting houses, but it is very difficult to buy this.
Willing to sell the house to soil and rock abilities is also because the most important thing now is to build walls to keep out zombies, like Zhou Zhou and Chen Rui have to complete at least [-] meters of missions before the house will be theirs. Now The new city is only forty kilometers in total, and this house is expensive enough, ten thousand meters is ten kilometers, but Xingxin City cannot be so big, it must be expanded, so weekends and Chen Rui are not worried about not having work to do.
They also have to work for 20 days for 20 meters, but if they can buy a house of their own, [-] days is also cost-effective, not to mention that they also provide two meals.
On weekends, Chen Rui and Chen Rui liked the taste of the food at the base, but it didn't affect them from eating these foods in the last days.You must know that there is still food in the base, and when the previous stored food is exhausted, there is no way to plant it now, and the wild vegetables and wild fruits in the wild cannot be eaten casually. At that time, it will be even more difficult to get some food. .
More than a dozen people came to the property center of the community, where there were miniature pictures of houses. On weekends, Chen Rui and Chen Rui ruled out those houses that had already been purchased, and then began to choose the houses they fancy.Because the two bought a house together, and they didn't think that it must be [-] square meters, as long as it looked good and both of them liked it.
In fact, not only the two of them bought together on weekends, but also many people who are familiar with the earth and rock abilities also purchased together. I was worried that if the situation changed, the policy of the base would be terminated. up.Even in the last days, survivors still want to have their own houses.
Weekend and Chen Rui soon took a fancy to a house, a small apartment of [-] square meters, with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom without decoration, only doors and windows were installed and it was on the first floor.If they were facing mutant beasts, they would have no anti-dumping force at all, but none of this would affect Chen Rui on the weekend. They could completely remodel their houses with rocks.
Everyone else chooses high-level people, so they don't have to worry about zombies and mutant beasts attacking them. The weekend is because they know that many mutant beasts can fly in the future, and birds are not easy to mess with after they mutate, and they are not easy to deal with. It is better to deal with the mutant beasts on the ground.Why did Chen Rui choose the first floor? He always felt a little uncomfortable living on the upper floors, and it was safest for people with earth-type abilities to step on the ground.
After choosing the house, Zou Cheng immediately said: "Those who have chosen the house can go to the underground parking lot of the community to live temporarily. You can sleep in the car, or sleep in the house you just bought. Go there to get the key. But the basement It is relatively safe, we have cleaned it, most of the exits are blocked, and the underground parking lot has also been reinforced, it is relatively safe before the fence is built."
"Brother Chen, should we go to the underground parking lot to sleep overnight, or go back to the house, the key has already been brought." Weekend opened his mouth and looked at Chen Rui.
Chen Rui looked at the young man with a look of anticipation and couldn't help laughing: "You say that's where it is, and I don't have any objections. But the underground parking lot is relatively safe at present, and the fence of the community has not been built, so we live in a bit conspicuous. "
"That's it, Brother Chen is right, then let's sleep in the underground parking lot at night, and go get the blankets and tents now." Weekend lowered his head and said, obviously the president said to make delicious food, but now the president seems to have forgotten What should I do? Do you want him to remind you?
Just when the young man bowed his head and was depressed and didn't know how to speak, Chen Rui smiled and touched the young man with his head down and said: "Just kidding, it's the same wherever we live, let's go, let's go home, I'll give you a good meal Yes." After speaking, Chen Rui pulled the young man up and walked towards the house they had just bought.
Most of the houses here are high-rises, and a small part are villas. The villas are not open, and they are probably assigned to those high-rise bases by default.Most of the plants in the community were eradicated, probably because they were afraid that the crazy plants would destroy the houses. Walking on the ground of the empty community, they soon came to the first floor of a high-rise building and looked around. , escape from this place is quite fast, maybe the CEO probably likes this.
"Okay, let's go in. This is our home for the time being. We will stay at the base for the last few days to complete the tasks, and practice at home at night. When the house is officially under our name, we will go hunting and killing zombies outside the base. When the time comes, I will grab whatever you want to eat." Chen Rui patted the young man's head and said.
Hearing Chen Rui's words on the weekend, he was taken aback for a moment, and then happily said: "Okay, President, you keep your word, you can't lie."
"When have I ever lied to you? Is my credibility so bad? Just don't believe me that much. Well, take out the body you want and I'll see what to do with it," Chen Rui said with a helpless smile after closing the door, He really has nothing to do with this kid.
After hearing Chen Rui's words on the weekend, I immediately started to sort out the delicious food in the space. I took out a portion of each condiment, onion, ginger, garlic, green pepper, cabbage, tomato, mutated small white striped mutated shrimp and mutated crayfish. one.
Chen Rui looked at the young man who had no plans at all, and said helplessly again: "Don't take so much, it will go bad soon if you put it outside, we will eat two different kinds at night, keep the mutant shrimp and small white strips, and take back the crayfish first Go and put it away. By the way, I want some parsley, lettuce, and shallots, and then you can practice, and I will call you when it is ready."
Then Chen Rui brought the weekend to the master bedroom. This room will be used as a place for them to practice and sleep for a period of time in the future.The windows and walls were all reinforced and thickened by Chen Rui, and the air vents were also built in the living room. They were of a honeycomb type, and only bugs the size of a pinpoint could get in, and other mutants were out of the question.
The bed is also similar to the one in the classroom last night. It is a half-meter-high stone platform, two meters wide and two meters long. The semi-circular duck egg-like cover is half-opened close to the living room, and the back faces the outside wall. Chen Rui built a buffer hive.Even if he didn't notice the mutant beast approaching that day, most of the force of hitting the wall would be relieved to avoid hurting people who were practicing or sleeping on the bed.
"Okay, you're here to practice, the earth ability can be added. The hairball is nestled in the bedside table next to the bed on the stone platform. Don't let it eat on the bed, just let it stay here on the edge of the bed." Chen Rui pointed to the hairball that wanted to climb onto the bed and said to the weekend.
On weekends, I watched Fuqiu's short legs finally climbed up to the edge of the bed, but because the edge of the bed was a bit high from the bed, Fuqiu was not tall enough to climb up, so it was ridiculous to keep trying to get up.He nodded and returned: "Don't worry, Brother Chen, I won't put the fur ball on the bed, let it stay on the edge of the bed, and sleep in the gabion on the bedside table at night, so as not to notice that it's not good if it's crushed .”
Immediately, the president's eyebrows and eyes were stained with a smile, and after hearing the ruthless words of the master, the fur ball immediately stopped climbing the bed like a frost-beaten eggplant, turned its head and crawled to its new stone nest with its buttocks facing the master, the fur ball I moved my little butt, and it was much more comfortable to stay in than the previous nest.
On the weekend, I went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, and immediately felt refreshed, and drank half a can of cold beer, and the rest was naturally given to the president. Looking at the wine overflowing from the corner of the president's mouth when he poured the beer, I felt like a president at the weekend. 1 Impressed, very attractive.
Wearing slippers and a pair of pajama pants, he returned to the egg-shaped training stone platform prepared by the president on the weekend, sat cross-legged, looked down and saw the fur ball that ignored him just now came out of his little head, and twisted a holy For the female fruit, the hairball immediately stretched its neck to sniff, and the hairball could not be eaten as soon as the hand was raised on weekends, and the hairball went crazy immediately, jumping up and down and squeaking.
Having had enough fun, Fuqiu stuffed the tomato into Fuqiu's mouth on weekends, and the little guy hung it up and immediately got into the nest, fearing that the bad owner would snatch it away again.
Take out the crystal nucleus and start to practice, the soil element is here to practice bonus, and the soil element will be completed soon on the weekend, followed by the wood element, water element, gold element, and wind element. These abilities are still relatively low. The energy can be easily repaired, and when the elements in the crystal nucleus can no longer be absorbed, when I open my eyes on the weekend, exactly half an hour has passed.
Weekend feels a bit unbelievable. When did he absorb elements so quickly? However, he has used a lot of superpowers today. Maybe it has something to do with it. Maybe it has something to do with changing the corpse crystal. Shrimp, that is very pure elemental energy that is completely transparent.
I still don't understand what's going on, but I'll know after the next practice test, thinking with my chin on the weekend.
When Chen Rui walked into the bedroom, he saw the young man holding his chin, and he didn't know where Shenyou went, and he didn't even know he was approaching. Fortunately, he was there, otherwise, with the young man's vigilance, when would he be caught by a mutant beast? I don't even know how to go.
The slender fingers moved slowly in front of the young man. Seeing the young man's eyeballs moving slightly dull with his hand, Chen Rui let out a "chi" laugh, and said with his finger on the young man's forehead: "What are you thinking? You are so engrossed."
"Brother Chen, why are you here? I didn't think about anything, but just stared blankly for a while. Oh, Brother Chen, I have something to ask, that is, I absorb elements many times faster. In the short time just now, I will explain the strange things that I have learned. I have practiced all the abilities, but I don’t know what’s going on, but the speed has increased a bit. According to this speed, I think the other abilities can also be upgraded to the first level in three days..." Weekend looked at Chen Rui said.
Chen Rui frowned and thought for a while before saying: "Whether it's because of the crystal nucleus or not, it's a good thing, but you have to lay a good foundation before upgrading. The soil ability is the most advantageous. You should upgrade the soil to the second level first." level, I believe it will be more beneficial for absorbing other abilities. If it is because of the crystal nucleus, then after we finish our work, I will accompany you to the river to catch mutant shrimp. There are still a dozen of that kind of crystal nucleus. Take it and use it."
For Chen Rui, the crystal nucleus is not very useful, as long as he steps on the ground, there will be a steady stream of earth elements gathered around him.If it weren't for worrying that the realm would be unstable and leave hidden dangers, he would just need to spend more time converting the earth element to upgrade, but even now his cultivation speed is a bit fast, so Chen Rui is not going to upgrade immediately, at least wait until he is consolidating been talking for a while.
"Gululu..." There was a stomach growl, Zhou Zhou froze for a moment before realizing that it was his stomach growling, which made Zhou weekend a little embarrassed.
Chen Rui looked at the young man's face turning pink and said with a smile: "I'm hungry, the meal is ready, hurry up and eat."
Sitting on a stone chair on weekends, a sumptuous dinner is placed on a stone table. The stewed small white strips are delicious. The head and tail shells of the mutant shrimp are stewed in the soup. The shrimp meat is cut into pieces and fried, sprinkled with green onion and coriander, It exudes an unbearable fragrance, and I immediately passed it with chopsticks on the weekend, wishing to swallow it with my tongue.
After eating three bowls of rice and touching your chubby belly on weekends, this is delicious food, this is what it feels like to be alive, it's great to have the president around, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing.
Seeing the young man squinting his eyes and enjoying, the corners of Chen Rui's mouth curled up slightly. There was no need to clean up the wreckage on the stone table. All the dishes and chopsticks were turned into sand. After spinning, the table was as clean as new, as if it had never been Food is average.
After resting for half an hour to digest food, Chen Rui finished his training and turned to ask the lying young man, "Are you tired today?"
On the weekend, I was counting sheep with my eyes open, when I heard the CEO's voice reply in the dark: "I'm not tired, I can't sleep because it's too early."
"Since we're not tired and can't sleep, let's go to the night work. We can petrify 300 meters at night, which is not too outstanding according to the degree of desperation. If you complete the house purchase contribution earlier, you will be able to move freely earlier. There may be surprises at night." " Chen Rui said.
Zhou weekend nodded and stood up and said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go now, and the sooner the fence is built, the sooner it will be safe."
On weekends, I came to the front with Chen Rui, and I saw that many soldiers were still busy in the dark, those survivors who had just rushed over were still enthroned, some people were settled in the underground parking lot, and some supernatural beings were earning food early , to discredit and go to work on the city wall.
The night in the last days is dangerous, mutated animals come out to look for food, zombies also become active, and these are all phototaxis.Therefore, the base cannot use electric lights at all before the fence is built. Even if there is light, it is tightly covered under the tarpaulin, and the movement from the construction site or the stone platform is extremely light, try not to disturb the mutant beasts and zombies .
There is even a vague smell floating around the base, a bit like the smell of corpses. This smell is quite unpleasant, but it covers up the tempting smell emitted by humans. It was only after listening to Chen Rui's explanation on the weekend Understand why this place stinks.
Those who work during the day are ordinary people with supernatural powers, but after ordinary people with supernatural powers enter the underground parking lot to rest, they still have to rush to work, racing against time, and completing the work as soon as possible can save more people.These soldiers were going to recover Ningxiang County during the day, and they rested for seven hours at night. At other times, ordinary soldiers patrolled and guarded, and soldiers with supernatural powers continued to build the wall.
Chen Rui and Weekend came to the task shed, but there was no soldier who sent them the task. When Weekend caught a military supernatural being to ask, the supernatural person looked at the two of them in surprise. Among ordinary people with supernatural powers, there are also such courageous ones.He pointed to the place where there was a glimmer of light in the darkness not far away, and told Chen Rui and Weekend that they could go there to pick up the mission.
After thanking each other for the weekend, the two immediately went to the work shed over there. In the work shed was the one-armed soldier who was sitting today. He was holding a pen in his left hand, and he should be recording something.Weekend coughed lowly, and the other party looked up and saw the pair of brothers who surprised him at noon. The brother's power level is quite high, and both brothers are rock-type power users. These two must have made a lot of contributions today.
Zhang Chi raised his head and said with a smile, "You guys are here like this. You don't go to rest when it's dark, and you have to go to work tomorrow."
"It's like this. Isn't it still early? We can't sleep. We want to take on some work and finish the contribution of buying a house earlier so that we can sleep with peace of mind." Weekend explained.
Zhang Chi put down his pen and frowned when he heard the words of the weekend: "Well, the work of the petrochemical fence has been almost done, and the mud wall has not been built yet. If you really don't want to go back to rest, then why not, you are good. How many walls are built by our military's earth-type supernatural powers, you just follow the petrification, and count as much as you have, and we will calculate for you when you go back to rest."
Naturally, he didn't mind on the weekend, but Chen Rui felt that it was too slow, and he said, "I'm a dual-system of earth and stone. Is the distance of petrification to be counted as the distance to build a mud wall?"
"Sir, what did you say?" Zhang Chi asked in surprise.
Chen Rui frowned and said, "Chen, my surname is Chen, you can call me Chen Rui, and I'm of earth and stone."
"My name is Zhang Chi. You really have both soil and rock elements. There are slightly more earth-type supernatural beings. Therefore, if you calculate it according to petrification, it must be at least two to one. If you build a 200-meter dirt wall, we will count your 100-meter lithification." How about it, if you want, I will let someone take you there. But you have to follow the command, and the earthen wall must be built according to the plan. If it fails, we don’t count as contribution. Is there any problem?” Zhang Chi asked.
Chen Rui nodded and said: "No problem, just do it this way, you arrange someone to take us there now, we should be able to build a petrified wall of 300 meters in two nights, add up to a distance of 450 meters, and then we will go to the military The other side of the square mud wall is petrified for 50 meters, a total of 500 meters."
Zhang Chi nodded when he heard Chen Rui's words, and said, "Okay, once you finish, I will help you record. Xiaozhou Xiaozhou will come and take these two. Chen Rui and his brother will go to the wall and draw a distance of 300 meters for them. They have to build a 300-meter mud wall and a petrified fence at night, and they will go to the military to petrify 50 meters, and when they are finished, they will be calculated according to the 500-meter petrified wall.”
"It's sir, my subordinates will take them there now." After the young soldier saluted, he led Weekend and Chen Rui towards the wall, and many soldiers were still busy building the wall with soil-type abilities, followed by rock-type abilities. Those who are capable are transformed into rocks, and the work is done in an orderly manner. The soldiers like Chen Rui are quite respectful. Even if they do the work, they will not be allocated a house. It should probably be counted by An Jungong.Regardless, these people deserve respect for their efforts to help build survivors' homes.
That night, I worked with Chen Rui until 10:30 on the weekend. After Xiaozhou came to check, I helped them record their contribution. After that, Chen Rui didn't go to bed directly, but took the weekend and the two of them around the rocky wall. Well, a group of soldiers found out that the two of them had completed their mission in the middle of the night and still hadn't left, so they acted like two post-apocalyptic convulsions, but they didn't care.
But he didn't know that every step Chen Rui took, he had steadily repaired those uneven mud walls, and even strengthened and repaired those walls with different degrees of rock, except for the yawning weekend.
No one would notice doing this kind of thing in the middle of the night, and it would be eye-catching in broad daylight, so I didn’t say anything on weekends, everything was for the purpose of having a safe place to live, not to mention the fact that the president has that kind of ability, and more importantly, the president can still To consolidate strength, he is very interested in upgrading, and doing win-win things makes people happy. As for doing good deeds without leaving a name, the weekend said that it is not a good thing to be too famous in the last days, and it is better to hide in the market.
