Chapter 554: Blue-level fruits are chronic poisons?
"This is it."
Li Wenxi looked up at the sky.
"Directly above here is the location of the metal mine I mentioned."
Beside her, Xu Ying and Wei Shishi looked up together.
The old man Wei Bai received the call just now, and he didn't know what it was about. His expression became a little serious and he hurried back.
Before leaving, he asked Wei Shishi to stay here to connect with Li Wenxi.
"Is this here..." Wei Shishi looked around, her expression slightly relaxed, "This area is sparsely populated and there are no residential areas, which saves us a lot of trouble. When mining, just set the area below as a dangerous area that is forbidden to enter. Just fine.”
Xu Ying lowered her head and rubbed her neck: "Oh, I'm getting older and my neck will hurt if I raise my head for too long. I say, little girl, you have to respect your seniors."
She meant this to Wei Shishi.
I don't know why, but Wei Shishi didn't give her a good look along the way. She kept a straight face, as if Xu Ying owed her money.
"How old?" Wei Shishi glanced at her, "You just know how to travel through time, right? Your real age is about the same as mine."
Xu Ying spread her hands and made a helpless expression: "So, today's young people are really mysteriously confident."
"Are you...an aunt over forty years old?" Wei Shishi turned to look at her.
"...Who are you talking about as auntie?" Xu Ying was the first to break her guard and glared.
Although she has lived for a long time, she has always been like a little sister in the team at that time.
Most of the people in their team have no offspring. After all, in an environment where everyone is in danger, giving birth to offspring is not a wise choice.
In addition, the life spans of the people in the team at that time were very long, so most people had no idea of having offspring to continue the family line.
So she has never been called aunt!
Of course, this does not mean that there were very few humans in the new generation at that time, but on the contrary, there were not many at all.
At that time, most of the new generation of humans were born from those who had completely surrendered to the alien invaders.
They have achieved a relatively stable life and are naturally able to raise their children.
Fortunately, the descendants of those people are not as thoroughly brainwashed as they were, and have fanatical worship and pursuit of alien invaders.
They have their own ideas. Although most people have been taught to be loyal to the alien invaders since childhood, young people always have a rebellious spirit.
After learning the truth of that year, a considerable number of people still chose to join the resistance team.
The first step of the original plan to return to the past was carried out by relying on these people.
"What did you say?" Wei Shishi rolled her eyes, "A person who relies on time travel to pretend to be a magician has the right to call me a senior?"
In her mind, Xu Ying should have been about the same age as her grandfather when she met her grandfather.
Then Xu Ying immediately crossed time and came to modern times, which means that her current age should be in her twenties.
Even her grandfather Wei Bai thinks so.
"I..." Xu Ying was speechless.
She didn't want to reveal her identity.
Her identity is a big loophole in this world. The fewer people know about it, the better. If too many people know about it and the world notices something abnormal, she will be eliminated from the world like her brother.
But this girl in front of me is really annoying!
What, why are you so hostile to her?
Don't be angry, don't be angry, Xu Ying, you are over 300 years old, why are you angry with a little girl in her twenties?
"Well, please stop arguing. Can't we get along well?" Li Wenxi said helplessly.
She also has a very energetic character. After coming to this world, she has only suppressed her curiosity. She is not familiar with the place and is no longer so willful.
Along the way just now, the two of them had quarreled many times.
In front of these two people, she always felt that she was playing the role of a close sister.
"Hmph, who wants to get along with her." Wei Shishi snorted.
"You..." Xu Ying gritted her teeth, getting angrier as she thought about it.
Wei Shishi turned to look at Li Wenxi, her tone became much more normal and said: "I have noted the location here. Are there any other locations around?"
"I've only found this one for the time being. I haven't had a good look around yet." Li Wenxi said.
"Okay, here's this for you."
Wei Shishi took out a small instrument from her pocket and handed it to Li Wenxi.
"This is..."
Li Wenxi looked at the small device in his hand curiously.
earphone?
"Wear it on your ear and you can contact me directly with three clicks. The communication channel is encrypted, so you don't have to worry about being eavesdropped." Wei Shishi explained, "If you discover a new location or have any trouble, you can always contact me. Contact me.”
"Ah, there is such a good thing!" Li Wenxi said in surprise, a little happy, "Then I will accept it!"
"Hey, where's mine?" Xu Ying glared at Wei Shishi.
"You? Aren't you very powerful? Do you still need our help?" Wei Shishi's tone suddenly turned cold.
"I..."
Wei Shishi turned to look at Li Wenxi, and her voice became calm again: "If you are not satisfied with the accommodation this woman provides you, or if you encounter any danger here, please contact me at any time. Our Wei family welcomes you at any time."
"Oh..." Li Wenxi nodded, but felt something was wrong, and secretly glanced at Xu Ying.
"Then I'll go back first." Wei Shishi turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop!" Xu Ying reached out and grabbed Wei Shishi's arm, saying angrily, "What's going on with you? Why are you so hostile to me? Tell me clearly!"
< br>
"...Don't you know what you did more than fifty years ago?" Wei Shishi waved her hand vigorously, shook off Xu Ying's hand, then turned around and left.
"What did I do? I did..." Xu Ying was stunned, "What did I do? Wait a minute, you..."
By the time she reacted, Wei Shishi had disappeared.
"What are you doing..."
"...You didn't trash my grandpa, did you?" Li Wenxi snickered and touched Xu Ying's waist with her elbow, "I always feel that she listened to what her grandpa said before she was so dissatisfied. If you have an opinion, it’s not like you did something that started in chaos and then gave up.”
"What!" Xu Ying screamed, "Me, me, me, that guy Wei Bai and I are just normal friends!"
"Then why is she so unhappy with you? Everything she knows about you should be from her grandfather, right?" Li Wenxi looked in the direction Wei Shishi was walking away.
"This is nothing! Not to mention that it is impossible, and even if it is true, does her grandfather's feelings and experience require her to fight against injustice?"
Xu Ying suddenly couldn't sit still: "No, I have to ask that old guy! What bad things did that guy say about me to his granddaughter! He couldn't really say anything nonsense!"
< br>
"Hey!" Li Wenxi quickly grabbed her, "Is the old man still busy? He seemed to have a serious face when he left. It's better not to disturb others for the time being. Could it be that those giant beasts are attacking again?"< br>
"...Hmph, probably not. If so, wouldn't he tell us?" Xu Ying went over in no hurry, curled her lips and said, "It feels like the three of them got together to discuss important matters, and it might have something to do with me. , that’s why you didn’t tell me?”
"That's it..." Li Wenxi rubbed her eyes slightly, "Then let's go back. I'm a little sleepy. It's getting late now... Wow! It's almost twelve o'clock!"
She looked at her watch and exclaimed: "It's so late! It's almost the next day!"
"Oh, that's the bad thing about this place." Xu Ying looked up at the sky. Two or three thousand meters above, those crystal stones were still emitting light. "It's the same day and night. There are no four seasons here. Life always feels like time has stopped.”
"Ah...then what is the daily routine of the people here?" Li Wenxi looked in the direction of the living area.
On the street over there, there were originally a lot of pedestrians and vehicles, but now they are much rarer.
Although the sky has not darkened, everyone seems to have taken a rest.
"Because everyone's schedule is similar to that on the ground. After all, the time for study and work is still the same."
Xu Ying explained: "Working from 9 to 6, 8 to 5, with fixed working and school hours, everyone's schedule is almost the same as that of humans on the ground. Of course, there is no shortage of people who stay up late. However, it shouldn’t be considered ‘staying up late’ here, after all, there is no night at all.”
"Well, this is really a magical world..." Li Wenxi felt that she still didn't understand this place very well, and she had the urge to wander around.
She took out the blue-level oranges she brought out from her backpack and started peeling them: "That's just right. There are few people active now, so we won't attract too many people's attention. Let's go around!"
< br>
"Ah, isn't that the magic orange (blue) that stays up late!" Xu Ying's eyes lit up, "You brought such a good thing down."
"You must have used this before, right?" Li Wenxi took out one again and handed it to Xu Ying.
"I miss you so much!" Xu Ying held the orange in her hand, looked at it over and over, and sighed, "There were many such orange trees planted in our team's science and technology park. At that time, we could not wait to break them into two parts in a minute. , this thing is simply an artifact, but..."
"But what?" Li Wenxi put the orange into her mouth and asked vaguely.
"But... you'd better eat less of this stuff now. Although it can keep people's brains awake without having to sleep, it relies on overdrawing the life span of brain cells." Xu Ying also started to peel the oranges in her hands. At the same time, he said, "If you eat too much, you will develop Alzheimer's disease in advance!"
"Huh?" Li Wenxi had just swallowed the piece of orange in her mouth. When she heard what she said, she suddenly stopped holding a piece of orange in her hand and was about to put it into her mouth.
She looked down at the orange segment in her hand, then looked up at Xu Ying, blinked her eyes, it was neither eating nor not eating, and she was surprised: "And... there are such side effects!"
"That's right, otherwise if you keep eating this orange, you won't have to sleep forever? How can such a good thing happen? There is a price for everything." Xu Ying threw away the orange peel and said.
"But..." Li Wenxi swallowed, "I seem to have eaten a lot before...I don't know how to..."
"It won't cause problems so quickly." Xu Ying explained, "If ordinary people eat too much, they may develop Alzheimer's disease in their forties or fifties? For people like us who live a long life, it doesn't matter, but You are still an ordinary person, right? It’s better to rely on your own body to regain your energy.”
She threw a piece into her mouth, chewed it with a nostalgic expression, and said: "Well... eat less, eat less, sister-in-law, I don't want you to have changed when I return you to my brother. It’s so stupid.”
"Silly..." Li Wenxi almost threw away half of the orange in her hand, "This thing is a chronic poison!"
"Chronic poison? That's so appropriate." Xu Ying was still putting the chronic poison into her mouth one by one. "But you don't have to worry too much. There are a lot of genetic medicines in Crystal City. My brother is sure I will leave you a dose. Even if you are already stupid by then, you will be fine just by injecting the genetic medicine. Well, feel free to take it.”
"That's it..."
Li Wenxi had heard Xu Ying talk about Crystal City's genetic potion before. She was relieved, looked at the half orange in her hand, and immediately stuffed the remaining half of the orange into her mouth, and then chewed it with revenge!
This is actually a chronic poison!
Xu Ying had already eaten the whole orange and licked her fingers with satisfaction: "It's really good! I haven't eaten this kind of orange since the time travel started."
"Well...if I'm really stupid, don't forget to take me back..." Li Wenxi swallowed the whole orange, feeling a little panicked.
"You must be at least forty or fifty years old, right? How can you stay here for so long? I'm afraid my brother will come to you after a while. If it doesn't work, we will go out to find him after the things here are settled. ”
"Ugh... We are fine, but those other survivors..." Li Wenxi suddenly remembered that blue-level fruits are very common among the survivors, and most of the survivors should be eating them.
"There is no way, if you want to get certain abilities, you have to pay something. And those people..."
Xu Ying has no interest in other survivors at all: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, I will show you around. There should be some mineral spots nearby, right?"
"Go over there, I feel there might be one there."
"Okay, by the way, what did you do here fifty years ago? Tell me about it!"
"Well, it's nothing special. My brother does all the business, I just..."
……
on the ground.
"You found another statue in another place?" Zeng Tao asked in surprise.
"I didn't find it, it was this little guy who found it." Lou Feier rubbed Coco's big tail.
"Hey..." Coco moved her tail and continued to lie in her arms in confusion.
"Whose statue is it? It can't be Xu Xin's again, right?" Zeng Tao thought of something and got a little excited, "Could it be that there is a crystal city down there?"
"It's not Xu Xin, it's a statue of...a woman."
Lou Fei'er sat on the sofa, stretched out and said: "It's very secret there. It's in a gap in the mountain that is almost impossible to find. After you go deep into it, the space inside is not small, and there is a statue in it. If it weren't for Coco, he would come from there. After getting in, I couldn’t find it at all.”
"It's so mysterious, there must be something good! Haven't you explored it?" Zeng Tao also came over and sat next to her, "Who is that statue woman? Have you seen it?"
Now both of them are in Lou Fei'er's tree house.
"I've never seen it." Lou Fei'er shook her head, "I haven't explored it either. I always have an inexplicable palpitation there. I feel that something will happen if I explore alone. Moreover, it is still a special period, so I picked up the statue that was lying on it and stared at it. Coco rushed back. Let’s discuss this matter together. At least I want to bring the information back.”
"Indeed, if you act without authorization, it will be bad if you disappear or something happens." Zeng Tao's eyes moved slightly, "Hey, hey, how about the two of us go take a look? There should be no problem between the two of us, right?"
"What are you thinking!" Lou Feier said angrily, "Now we are still protecting the World Tree, what does it matter if the two of us run out?"
"Well, okay..." Zeng Tao lay on the sofa, "It's really boring."
"Where's Jin Yue?"
"She is helping Ma Hongwei and the others upgrade the treehouse heavy crossbows for those survivors, so that they can also become a fighting force in the protection war."
"Wen Xi is not here, are these resources enough?" Lou Fei'er was slightly worried.
"You said that the iron ore spots discovered by Wen Xi haven't been exhausted yet. That's enough for the time being? I don't understand. Let them do those things." Zeng Tao turned over on the sofa and muttered, "Xu Xin is so slow, how long will he take over my tree house..." (End of Chapter)
