Chapter 296 This thing looks like it will kill you if you eat it! (Two chapters in one)
The danger was over, and Lin Li extinguished the fireball in his hand. He came here mainly to save people.
Since the gray one-horned leopard beast knew better and retreated, and he wanted to go home and take a shower in a hurry, he stopped chasing him.
"Boss, are you okay?" A construction worker came to the middle-aged man's side and reached out to help the middle-aged man lying on the ground.
"We are fine. Is anyone injured?" After being helped up, the middle-aged man asked.
"No one was injured." The construction worker who helped the middle-aged man answered.
"It's okay if you don't. Starting tomorrow, let's have a good rest for a few days." The middle-aged man who encountered this kind of thing was still frightened. He saw the frightened expressions on the faces of his employees, so he decided to give them to him. Everyone has a few days off.
At this time, there was a harsh friction sound on the roadside. Everyone who had survived the disaster heard the sound and went to look for it. They saw Lin Li standing in front of the big tree on the roadside, reaching out and pulling out the shot that entered the trunk of the big tree. The spiritual weapon long sword.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately came to Lin Li and thanked Lin Li with a grateful expression.
"Sir, thank you so much just now. If you hadn't rescued me in time, I would have died in the mouth of that strange beast."
Lin Li nodded to the middle-aged man, accepted the other man's thanks, and then reminded him.
“Please be careful in the future! It’s best not to stay so close to the wilderness when the sun is going down.”
“After this encounter, we will No way..." the middle-aged man said, and then he added something doubtful.
“It’s strange to think about it. In the past, we were working on the edge of the safety zone near the wilderness at this time. We have never encountered such a strange beast directly crossing the safety zone and attacking us.”
Lin Li said casually, "Maybe you just hit the little brother of the alien beast with a small stone, so it rushed into the safe area in anger and attacked you."
< br>
"Uh..." When the middle-aged man heard what Lin Li said, he recalled the whole process of what happened before, and an embarrassed expression suddenly appeared on his chubby face.
The reason why he felt embarrassed was because he recalled the whole process of what happened just now, and it was indeed what Lin Li said.
If he didn't instruct his employees to attack the gray wolves, he wouldn't incur the gray wolves' boss, the gray unicorn leopard, to cross the barbed wire and attack them.
However, if they do not drive away those gray wolves that linger in place, then their project of laying the barbed wire fence will not be completed. Thinking about it, it is really a dilemma!
At this moment, Lin Li was thinking about going home, taking a shower, and then taking the red mushrooms he got in the morning to Su Yue's house and asking Su Yue to cook them.
After chatting politely with the middle-aged man, he said, "I have other things to be busy with, so I'll leave first."
"Sir, can you tell me your contact information? "When the middle-aged man saw that his savior was about to leave, he thought about asking for a contact information. He asked his wife at home to prepare some gifts, and then came to express his gratitude for saving his life.
“There is no need for contact information, and you don’t have to think about thanking me, it’s just a little effort... You’d better take your employees and leave here as soon as possible!
After I leave, I won’t be able to protect everything. Kill a gray unicorn leopard. Carbine.
If those strange beasts really kill you, no one will be able to save you when I'm not around." Lin Li, who was thinking of rushing home to take a shower, shook his head and reminded Zhong. The young man then turned around and left holding the spiritual weapon long sword.
"Boss, that guy is right. Let's take the time to deal with the end of the barbed wire fence and get out of here..." A construction worker looked at Lin Li who was drifting away, withdrew his gaze and said to the middle-aged man.
"Yes." The middle-aged man who was almost bitten to death by a strange beast nodded immediately. Then he called his employees to speed up and quickly finish the unfinished parts of the laid barbed wire.
Although the construction workers laying the barbed wire fence were all so frightened that their faces turned pale and their legs were a little weak.
But after being greeted by the middle-aged man, he turned back and ran to the location where the confrontation had just occurred, and dealt with the barbed wire fence that had not yet been closed.
After all, this project is coming from the government, and the government will send someone to check it later.
If they don't finish it off and the inspection team discovers that their construction team failed to complete the laying of barbed wire on this stretch of road as required, the project fee will be deducted.
Once the project funds are withheld, it will affect their salary payment. This is absolutely not allowed to happen, so even if you are still a little scared and your legs are a little weak, for the sake of money, grit your teeth and persevere! this is life.
…………
“Whoa, whoa, whoa…”
There was a sound of water flowing in the bathroom, and after more than ten minutes, the sound stopped.
When Lin Li returned home, he took a warm cold shower and felt refreshed. He wanted to take an icy cold shower, but the weather was so hot, so he heated the cold water directly.
After taking a shower, the fatigue of searching for strange animals in the wilderness all afternoon has completely dissipated.
"Ding dong..."
Lin Li, who had just come out of the bathroom, was about to take the sweat-soaked camouflage uniform he wore today to the sink on the balcony to soak in water. .
I will wash it later. At this time, the doorbell at home was rang.
"Click."
Opening the door, a young man carrying a variety of equipment stood at the door of his home.
This young man was the air-conditioning repairman whom Lin Li had contacted before. After opening the door, Lin Li asked the air-conditioning repairman to come in.
"The air conditioner in your home is not broken, but it has run out of refrigerant. I will replenish the refrigerant for you, and you can use it as usual." The air conditioner repairman checked the condition of the air conditioner, and then Talk to Lin Li.
“Okay, master, could you please help me add the refrigerant.”
"It costs fifty yuan to add refrigerant once."
"Okay, you can add it!"
After the air-conditioning repairman told Lin Li the price of adding refrigerant, he saw Lin Li Nodding in agreement, he started to use his own equipment to add refrigerant to Lin Li's air conditioner.
"Huh..."
The air conditioner with added refrigerant restarted, and the wind blowing out was cool.
Lin Li felt the cold wind blowing from the air conditioner and nodded with satisfaction. Then he took out his mobile phone and scanned the payment code of the air conditioner repairman. After paying the money, he sent the person away.
The air-conditioning repairman walked into the elevator, pressed the button for the first floor, pondered in his mind for a few seconds, and murmured to himself.
"Strange, isn't the air conditioner in the living room of this guest's home short of refrigerant and unable to cool down? Why is it still so cold in the living room?"
After Lin Li sent away the master who repaired the air conditioner. , he came to the air conditioner that was spitting out cold air. He looked at the air conditioner that had restored its cooling effect and thought in his heart.
"From now on, in the living room at home, use the refrigeration device purchased from Dongwucheng in the spiritual world to cool down! When guests come, use this air conditioner."
After Lin Li made a decision in his mind, he picked up the remote control of the air conditioner and turned off the air conditioner that restored the cooling effect. Then he took out the cooling device that he had put away before from the mysterious island, activated it and placed it on the top of the air conditioner.
Then he went to the bathroom, took off the camouflage uniform to the balcony, and put the camouflage uniform covered with sweat and dust in the sink to soak.
…………
“Didi Ling Ling...” Lin Li was holding an opaque plastic bag in his hand. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the community, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
He took out his cell phone and took a look. Su Yue's name was displayed on the caller ID.
“Hello.”
“Lin Li, haven’t you gone out yet?”
“You have gone out, I am walking to your house now!”
"Oh, okay, then I'll start cooking."
After a brief chat, the two ended the call. Lin Li put away his phone and walked quickly towards Su Yue's community.
The opaque plastic bag he was holding contained red mushrooms, and he originally planned to let Su Yue cook and dispose of these red mushrooms himself.
Now that he knew that Su Yue was going to start preparing dinner, Lin Li thought about rushing to Su Yue's house. Before she finished cooking, he would show her the ingredients he had specially found and let her add an extra mushroom dish.
…………
“Ding dong.”
Press the doorbell, and after a while, the door in front of you opens.
Su Yue was wearing a white T-shirt, denim shorts, and an apron. Her smooth black hair was tied up with a pink hairband.
After opening the door, she greeted Lin Li to come in and noticed that Lin Li was holding an opaque plastic bag in his hand.
"This is the special thing you told me before to show me? What's in the bag?"
After Lin Li entered the door, he saw Su Yue asking, and put the bag in his hand He handed the bag to her and said with a smile, "This special thing is a good thing! Open it and take a look..."
Su Yue curiously took the plastic bag handed over by Lin Li. After opening it, she saw that the bag contained many brightly colored mushrooms that she had never seen before. The curiosity on her face turned into surprise.
"Um, the special thing you were talking about turned out to be mushrooms! But these mushrooms are all bright red in color. Could they be poisonous mushrooms?"
"..."< br>
This idiot is so ignorant. He actually thinks there is something wrong with such a rare ingredient... Lin Li was speechless when he heard Su Yue say that the red mushrooms he had worked so hard to obtain were poisonous.
He went searching in the wilderness of the Southern District on a hot day just to get this red mushroom. Now that he was suspected that the red mushroom was poisonous, he felt very complicated.
"It's not poisonous. These mushrooms are rare ingredients. People who have eaten them say they taste very delicious..." Lin Li said.
"Who did you listen to? Don't be fooled! If these mushrooms are poisonous, you will be dead if you eat them."
As a cooking master, Su Yue has experienced She has seen many mushrooms, but has never seen one with such a bright color. No wonder she suspected that these red mushrooms were poisonous.
Lin Li was naturally unable to explain the origin of these red mushrooms to Su Yue in detail. He said vaguely, "The person who said this mushroom is not poisonous and very delicious is an investigator. Investigators will never lie. Me?"
"Investigator? Do you still know the investigator?" Su Yue asked in surprise.
"When I was visiting the vegetable market, I happened to meet an investigator who was buying vegetables in the vegetable market.
At that time, many people were like you and suspected that the red mushrooms sold by the stall owner were poisonous. The investigator Seeing this, he revealed his identity and told about this red mushroom. The situation.
I was in the crowd and listened to the investigator’s explanation. I felt that since the investigators said that these mushrooms were not poisonous and were rare, they also tasted very delicious, so I bought some. " Lin Li started. I used my brain to make up a reasonably reasonable story.
Su Yue said "Oh" and said no more to doubt that there was something wrong with the red mushroom, but the doubtful look in her eyes did not dissipate.
"Hey, don't worry, you will bring these mushrooms and stir-fry them later. I will eat them first. If there is any problem, I will be finished first."
Seeing the doubtful look in Su Yue's eyes, Lin Li didn't explain any more and just asked her to handle the red mushrooms. He would taste them first after they were served on the table.
"Uh..." Su Yue hesitated for a moment, originally thinking of refusing to handle the red mushroom, but couldn't stand Lin Li's repeated requests, so she reluctantly nodded.
As Su Yue walked to the kitchen with a plastic bag containing red mushrooms.
She was already thinking that if Lin Li had an adverse reaction in her body after eating these red mushrooms, which seemed to have some problems, she would call an ambulance immediately.
After Su Yue walked into the kitchen, she poured the red mushrooms in the plastic bag into the basin, turned on the faucet, and prepared to wash them.
At this time, she noticed Lin Li following her into the kitchen, intending to attack her, and she immediately spoke to Lin Li.
"Okay, don't come to the kitchen to cause trouble. Go sit in the living room for a while. I'll call you after I finish cooking..."
Lin Li scratched his head, "Didn't you say that before? , do you want to teach me how to cook?”
"Yes! But not now. Don't look at the time now. It will be dark in a while. If you want to go hungry, I'll do it." Su Yue turned to look out the window and was caught by the setting sun. He said, dyeing most of the sky red.
"Okay!" Lin Li nodded, then turned and left the kitchen, sat down on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and watched a TV program that broadcast news about practitioners.
"According to the official announcement, many construction teams have begun laying barbed wire fences on the outskirts of the Southern District and on the edge of the safety zone adjacent to the wilderness.
According to the current construction progress, within a week, the planned barbed wire fences will be laid. It will all be laid...
Although the process of laying the barbed wire fence is very It will be completed very quickly, but I would like to remind everyone again that the barbed wire fence is not guaranteed to be foolproof. You should not move around the barbed wire at will."
The beautiful news host is reporting on the current situation. On the outskirts of the South Side, residents of adjacent wilderness areas are top of mind.
Lin Li took out his mobile phone from his pocket while listening to the news program on TV.
He clicked on the "Usu Recycling" software on his mobile phone. In the background, he saw that the scalper beast that he had asked the drone to recycle, and whose leg he had cut off, had been sold.
“Huh?”
Opening the wallet, there was actually one million yuan on the book. This showed that Lin Li hunted today and had one of its legs cut off from the ox beast. , it was sold for a high price of one million yuan.
According to the current market price of cattle and exotic beasts, the prey Lin Li hunted today could only be sold for 500,000 yuan at most, but now the price of this prey has doubled. It’s really strangeness?
Lin Li didn't know that this weird beast that could grow red mushrooms could extract some unknown substance that accelerated plant growth.
If he knew, he would also be able to understand why the price of the prey he hunted had doubled.
“Forget it, never mind, it’s a good thing that the price has doubled, why do you want so much?” Lin Li muttered, then clicked on withdraw, and transferred the one million yuan in his wallet to himself on the bank card.
And just when he was withdrawing cash to his bank card, inside the Rongcheng Psychic Research Institute, a scalper beast with one leg missing was picked up by a courier from the 'Usu Recycling' company. , delivered here.
