Chapter 221: Strength
John woke up from his sleep, feeling the soft and warm breath around him, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Great!
From birth to now, he has never felt that life has been so easy.
The 'beloved' woman lies in his arms, her body getting a good rest after a long day's fatigue.
Even if he wakes up, he won't move.
"John."
Until a faint, dull voice came from his arms.
"What's wrong?" John looked down:
"Are you worried?"
The woman's name is Xiaojiu, she has no surname. She grew up in Huajian and wandered in this apocalyptic world with her tribe.
“I’m pregnant.”
Xiaojiu murmured:
“This is my third pregnancy and the first time I got pregnant without permission. What will you do? Do you want this child?”
The flower boat has its own rules, and the pregnancy must be done with the consent of the man.
After all, women during pregnancy are very fragile and need protection and adequate food from men.
After leaving the child, we faced a series of problems.
Every woman is an asset to Hua Chuan, so naturally such a long window of time is not allowed.
Unless the price is negotiated.
Secret pregnancy is undoubtedly very bold, and it also proves that Xiao Jiu very much hopes that the two of them can have their own child.
John's expression changed.
“Of course!”
After thinking for a moment, he nodded heavily:
“This is our child, of course I will want it, and I will ask the Divine Envoy Karl to Come forward and let you stay"
"We will raise our children ourselves!"
Xiaojiu lay in his arms, her eyes red, and her hands tightly hugged his not-so-strong body.
"John!"
At this time, a hurried shout came from outside the house:
"Come out quickly, something happened in the breeding room!"
" Huh?”
John sat up suddenly, comforted Xiaojiu, put on his clothes and hurried out the door.
…………
Nurture room.
After several blows, the originally narrow and simple breeding room has become a spacious room covering an area of nearly 200 square meters.
Even,
In the hearts of the people of Xucheng, this place is far more important than other places.
"Huh..."
Wrapped in the strong wind, John rushed into the breeding room and his eyes immediately shrank.
The dozens of soil-eating silkworms originally in the breeding room suddenly mutated.
Things like eyes appeared on the surface of the basin-sized ‘soil-eating silkworms’.
His eyes blinked, and white silk threads shot out from it, filling the entire breeding room densely.
The silk threads are crisscrossed and formed into several large cocoons inside.
The cocoon is squirming, and several human faces can be seen protruding from the surface. The faces are full of fear and despair.
"Joy, Julius..."
John's body was shaking:
"What happened?"
"The soil-eating silkworms in the breeding room mutated last night and swallowed several people who were collecting meat glue."
The figure of Karl stood in the breeding room. In the middle of the room, he was observing a mutated soil-eating silkworm and said:
"You are lucky not to be here, otherwise I am afraid you will end up like them."
John turned pale.
His first reaction was not to be thankful, but what would happen to Xiaojiu and the child if something happened to him?
The tragic death of his colleague made him tremble.
Fear!
Afraid!
In the past, he went out to explore the city alone and faced death threats many times. He had never been as scared as he is now.
When you have thoughts in your heart, you don't want to die.
“Angel Karl.” After coming back to his senses, John’s expression was complicated:
“How did the soil-eating silkworms become like this?”
“It’s me who is different, here. The breath can not only distort the body, but can even affect the bloodline." Karl shook his head slightly:
"The life span of the soil-eating silkworm is very short, but the continuity of the bloodline is still affected by this world."
"Don't worry..."
"I still have a few soil-eating silkworms on hand, but this is not the way to go. We need to breed resistant varieties."
"Analogy test "Gene optimization?" John's eyes moved slightly, and this was included in the knowledge he received.
“Yeah.”
Karl nodded:
"In the future, when cultivating soil-eating silkworms, don't put them in one room, and observe the effects of different environments on them."
"I heard that you found a flower girl?"
"Yes. ." John nodded and told Xiaojiu about her pregnancy, feeling a little embarrassed. Si's opening:
"Her Majesty Karl, I want to keep Xiaojiu."
"As long as you pay a sufficient price, you can let the woman in Hua Chuan give birth to a child, but if you want to It’s not easy to leave people behind.” Karl thought for a while and said:
"You try to breed soil-eating silkworms. If any of them are resistant, I will buy them for you."
"Thank you, God!" John's eyes lit up:
" I will definitely breed qualified soil-eating silkworms!”

*
Several giant birds with wingspans of tens of meters fell from the sky and turned into human shapes when they landed on the ground of Xucheng.
Each giant bird carries a dozen people on its back.
The total number of people is nearly a hundred.
“The Hadi Envoy!”
Karl stepped forward to greet him:
“You are finally here.”
“Angel Karl?” Hardy is tall and thin, with a nose that looks like an eagle. Even when he smiles, he gives off a charming smile. A cold feeling.
"I heard Bowen mention you, a wanderer with powerful strength, a mysterious traveler who explores ruins."
He looked at Karl and praised in the audio:
"I have known Bowen for so many years, and I have never seen him praise someone so much."
"Just kidding." Karl chuckled and waved his hand:
"You guys have worked hard all the way here, here first. Rest in the inner city."
"Let's melt the divine fire first." Hardy said:
"We have lost our virtual city and will settle here in the future. I hope there will be many envoys from Carl. Take care of.”
"God Envoy Bowen made an announcement before his death. You will come here to take over his duties and protect the residents of Void City. I am just taking care of it for you." Karl said as he walked:
"Of course."
“I also need a break I will come here often in the future, but you still need to be managed by God Envoy Hadi.” “Let’s talk about it later!”
The god-given thing in his virtual city is also related to the God of Thunder, but it is not how to control the power of thunder.
Instead, it transformed into a divine bird with the power to control thunder.
It is precisely because they belong to the same lineage of ‘Thunder’ that Bowen and Hardy became friends and even close friends.
"Huh..."
As the divine fire brought by Hardy merged into the Void City divine fire, the divine fire suddenly became stronger and the size also grew larger.
"Our divine fire can last for more than ten years. With the divine fire here, it should be able to last for more than thirty years."
Hadi looked at the divine fire and sighed helplessly:
"It's still too short. !"
"One day at a time." Karl said:
"I hope I can pay for the gift from God Hadi."< br>
"No need." Hardy waved his hand:
"Our God-given thing is quite special, and few people from other Void City can understand anything from it."
"If it is possible... "
"That's the best!"
Zi Zai reached out and pulled out a bone that was very different from a human being and placed it in front of Karl.
This god-given thing involves blood, thunder, and flying, and may not be of much use to others.
But it can be of great help to Karl.
"That's right!" He asked:
"Did you encounter fallen angels when you came here?"
Hardy's face darkened.
He touched his chin thoughtfully:
"While passing through an area, I did sense an extremely terrifying and dangerous aura. Fortunately, that thing did not attack us."
"It seems that he must be a despair-level fallen angel."
Half a month later.
Karl opened his eyes in the quiet room and moved his muscles at will, and there was a crackling sound coming from his body.
"Perceiving the God-given things can not only increase the accumulation of knowledge, but also increase spiritual power to a certain extent."
"If there are dozens of God-given things for me to understand, maybe in a short time You can break through one level..."
"Hmm!"
"It is said that understanding too many gods-given things, especially those with opposite properties, will make people go crazy. I don't know. True or false.”
…………
other side.
Hadi was invited by Mahi and came to the flower boat to discuss matters.
Christina took out the wine stored in the flower boat, poured a glass for each of them, and presented two berries.
Muguo is a specialty of Huachuan.
Slightly sweet, anti-hungry, with a certain amount of moisture, it is usually used as a precious item for trade with other virtual cities.
After all, fruit is extremely rare in this environment.
“Please!”
Maxi picked up the wine glass, took a sip and tasted it slowly:
“This is the brewing method I learned from a virtual city. It tastes spicy at first, but becomes more mellow as you drink it. ”
“The key is that you can forget a lot of worries after drinking it.”
"Oh?" Hardy nodded:
"I have seen descriptions of wine from the ruins before the Great Destruction, saying that the gods liked it."
"But..."< br>
“Let’s talk about business!”
“Yes.” Maxi’s smile faded, she rubbed her temples and said:
"Hua Chuan came a few months earlier than you, but he saw the Divine Envoy Karl no more than five times."
"So he is not interested in managing the virtual city, I believe it."
"Really?" Hardy frowned:
< br>"But he is the only one who has the soil-eating silkworm seeds in Xucheng. If he leaves..., there will be problems with eating in the future."
"The fallen angel probably has not left. Going out to look for food is courting death. .”
"John in the breeding room has mastered the method of cultivating soil-eating silkworms. He is exploring the ability to resist alienation." Mahi said:
"If soil-eating silkworms can avoid alienation, then Xucheng will be able to resist alienation again in the future. Don’t worry about food.”
Hadi breathed heavily and clenched his hands subconsciously.
“There is also a reservoir.” Mahi continued:
“We all know that the method of making a reservoir is now in the hands of people in Mujiuxu City, but Karl There is a similar method, and the seventh reservoir is currently being built in Xu City.”
"At that time..."
"Even the people and flower boats you brought will not have to worry about drinking water. Maybe they can use water to bathe in the future."
Hardy's throat rolled. .
Bathing with water?
When the Great Destruction just started hundreds of years ago, there were not many evil things at that time, and only people used water to bathe.
Now,
this is undoubtedly a luxury wish!
“Her Majesty Karl can’t leave!”
Hardy narrowed his eyes:
“Let him stay no matter what.”
"Yes." Mahi nodded:
"As far as I know, Divine Envoy Karl is very interested in divine marrow and God-given things. This aspect can impress him."
" In addition..."
"Even if the Divine Envoy Karl does not leave, the divine fire in Xucheng will not last long, and it must be supplemented by new divine fire."
"The Divine Envoy Mahi. "Hardy thoughtfully:
"Huachuan's divine fire should be enough to burn for decades, right?"
Other virtual cities may be short of divine fire, but Huachuan is definitely not lacking. After all, as far as he knows, Huachuan has swallowed up the divine fire of several virtual cities. .
"The divine fire of Huachuan cannot be melted into other virtual cities."
Mashi shook her head without hesitation:
"Maybe..."
"We should spread the news here and attract more gods from the Void City who can't hold on."
"As long as there are enough food and water sources, and more and more divine fires, this place may not be unable to change." Become the second Mu Jiuxu City!”
“Oh!” Hadi said with a smile on his face:
“The Mahi God Envoy doesn’t plan to go to Mu Jiuxu City”
Mashi frowned.
She also learned about Mu Jiuxu City from other people's mouths, and the changes in Karl's Xu City were indeed witnessed with her own eyes.
Instead of going to Mujiuxu City, it is better to make this place Mujiuxu City.
Furthermore,
As a first comer, her status will be higher. If she goes to Mujiuxu City, she can only be a vassal.
“Report!”
"Three divine envoys have come to seek refuge. Envoy Karl is in retreat, and McGinn has sent someone to inform the two of them."
Mashi and Hardy looked at each other and stood up together.
