Chapter 31 31. Danger
“Who?!”
Huaiyu stood up cautiously, holding the multifunctional shovel beside him with both hands.
At this moment she felt a little regretful.
Because the newly cut branches had been exposed to rain and had too much moisture, and there was more smoke when burning the fire, she opened the door curtain.
Captain Zhou obviously changed her into an opaque waterproof tarpaulin for extra safety in the dark, but the result...
Or maybe the shed outside the tree house was obviously intended to be used as a kitchen. , because it was too cold, so she still chose to stay in the house. If you were outside right now, you could run away if you couldn't beat her.
These innocuous details are mixed at this moment, interweaving with an increasing sense of danger.
"Sorry." Someone whispered outside the door: "I was just passing by and smelled the fragrance here. I didn't expect that there was...well, a house here."
Huaiyu held his breath for a while. : My tree house is so beautiful. What do you mean you hesitate before speaking?
But her vigilance became even more serious.
It was raining so heavily and it was so dark. The tree house and the Rose Corridor were quite close to each other. The shadows overlapped in the darkness. She believed the other person when he said he didn't see the tree house.
But if you smell the aroma...
Huaiyu tightened his grip on the multifunctional shovel in his hand.
But the other party seemed to sigh slightly: "I'm sorry, the aroma of soybeans is really strong. I have 200 points. If I exchange it for this portion of soybeans, would you be willing?"
Huaiyu wanted to say he didn't want to, but the other party had no intention of leaving, and if he walked in directly, he couldn't stop him.
As for 200 points... Now, life still matters!
She struggled, and finally said coldly: "Just wait."
The fragrant fried soybeans fell from the pot into the bowl, and the amount was only half a catty after drying. A small bowl was filled, but when she went out with the soybeans, her heart ached as if it was a bowl of gold.
"I'll leave the bowl at the door. You can get it yourself."
She held the multifunctional shovel in one hand, her heart beating like a drum at this moment.
The door was getting closer and closer, and the light radiated by the flames was getting darker and darker. Huaiyu could only vaguely see the tall figure of a man.
Waiting for her to carefully place the bowl, she then took two steps back and raised the multifunctional shovel vigilantly.
If the man came in and bent down to get the soybeans, she would just shovel them down——
Huh?
After squatting down and putting down the bowl, she subconsciously looked up and was stunned for a moment.
In the pouring rain, I saw a man at the door of the tree house wearing a snow-white uniform. The white was not soft, it was like snow. The weak light from the flames radiated, and there seemed to be silver sand flowing on the fabric.
The style is a bit like the defense army, but a little different. But it's obviously standard.
Even the military boots on the feet are different, as if they are wrapped in a hard metal layer.
The most important thing is that he did not hold an umbrella.
In the continuous rain, he stood there with clear eyes and a straight posture. The look he looked at Huaiyu was full of apology and helplessness.
And the premise of all of this -
"Why...you weren't wet by the rain?"
The heavy rain was still falling, but it seemed to gather around him There was an extra space, and there seemed to be some different energy wrapped around his whole body, from his hair to the soles of his feet, not even a drop of water touched it.
Huaiyu was stunned and asked blankly.
The other party was slightly startled, and then said after a pause: "I am a water type." Huh? So this is a water superpower? ! Huaiyu couldn't help but look him up and down, and his guard dropped a lot -
After all, he could use his powers so skillfully, so he didn't have to be so tactful when dealing with her.
But at the same time, a touch of envy arose:
"Is the water system so useful? My raincoat and boots combined are 100% better..."
The other party was dumbfounded and seemed confused for a moment, but then he quickly pointed to the bowl of soybeans on the ground: "Can it be traded? If you put it in again, the water vapor will not be crispy enough."
Since he is not a bad person, Huai Yu's performance was much more generous: "I don't want 200, I'll give you half of the 20 points. I'm not willing to try this."
The other party laughed, his face a little pale in the rain: "You are because Is that what you said about this outfit? "
"It doesn't have to be like this. This kind of beans should be a rare and rare species, right? It doesn't seem to be contaminated at all, and you may not be able to buy it with 200 points."
“However,” he was a little embarrassed and annoyed: “I only have 200 points.”
ah?
Huaiyu thought to himself that I actually didn’t exert too much effort. How come it didn’t seem to be contaminated? Can the seeds also be contaminated?
Also, what clothes? Could it be that this uniform belongs to the top brass of the defense force? But how come the top management only has 200 points?
But she didn't ask, she just stretched out her wrist and set the transaction amount: "20 cents."
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly.
However, as soon as he stretched out his arm, he saw the man quickly turning his head and his face became solemn.
Obviously there is no other movement of the body, but the rain curtain in front of me twists into a transparent water rope in an instant, like a snake in the dark night, quickly shuttles into the distance!
Not long after, someone screamed in the darkness -
"Ah!"
Huai Yu's face also turned pale.
The other party turned around and comforted her lightly: "It's okay. I'll check the situation later. This is close to the Rose Corridor. There can't be any big conflicts, and it's best not to get hurt and start an argument."
He looked warily. She glanced at the Rose Corridor, which was as dark as a stern wall: "When the mutation value rises, they are easily angered."
Huaiyu: ...Speaking of this, she actually didn't feel anything at all.
The man in front of him reminded: "You have special powers, right? Wood type? It's very weak, a bit strange, but you can feel it."
Huaiyu thought for a while, he should be Wood type. Could it be that this kind of superpower can be detected by others? Why didn't she feel it?
At this moment, she wanted to ask more questions, but she was afraid of exposing herself.
And the other party is still reminding her:
"Do you dare to live here because of your high affinity for plants? In this case, you should be more vigilant about people - in the dark forest , the fire is very dangerous to you and others.” Close the door!
She had no choice but to point into the distance: "What's going on?"
"I don't know." The other party replied calmly, then flipped his wrist, and in the darkness, a figure was stumbled and dragged over.
It wasn’t until Huaiyu was dragged to the door that he saw clearly that it was a middle-aged man.
He had a very short haircut and was wearing an old shirt that could not be seen to be blue or gray. His pants and pants were now covered in mud, making him look particularly embarrassed.
But even so, when he looked up at the two of them, his eyes were full of fear and ferocity.
But he couldn't say a word, because the [water rope] was tightly strangled around his neck at this moment, and a high arched hole was visible to the naked eye on the right side of his face. Redness and swelling.
"Well, a fugitive?"
Everyone knows about the Dark Forest, which comes from Da Liu's theory.
