Chapter 90 A friend comes from afar(1/2)
When artillery fire came, Chu Huan and Xue Yue hurriedly lay down on the ground. On the other side, Zhuo Feng ran to Xiaoman, threw Xiaoman down and lay on her body to protect her.
After a few anti-personnel explosive bombs, the Pei Guojun side stopped the attack, and darkness enveloped them again.
"The fire on your body must have exposed our position." Zhuo Feng stood up and complained to Chu Huan. He coughed and patted the sand on his body: "I will definitely build a bathing center here in the future."
"I get dirty every day. I have never been so dirty in my life."
"Two greeters in cheongsam are arranged at the entrance of the bathhouse. When they see anyone, they bend down to say thank you and welcome..."
"No, stand eight, and then stand two rows inside the door..."
"Hey, people here live a very miserable life."
"I want to save them."
Listening to Zhuo Feng's chatter, Xiaoman stood up. She looked towards the place where the artillery fire hit, and could vaguely hear the roar of machinery.
"Just now, both of them only cared about themselves, and I was the only one standing in front of you." Zhuo Feng looked at Xiaoman claiming credit and said, "Many men are unreliable, but I am different and trustworthy."
"Don't you want to take advantage of me?"
"..."
Zhuo Feng raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: "Am I a young person?"
"Thank you." Xiaoman suddenly whispered.
"You're welcome." Xiaoman said thank you seriously, but Zhuo Feng was a little overwhelmed. He turned around and collected the black and white stones and magical artifacts scattered on the ground. The peach wood ruler was blown to pieces, and other magical artifacts.
Fortunately, he was not hit by the shell. After cleaning up, he looked at Xue Yue: "You go first, Chu Huan and I have something to say."
Xue Yue nodded and walked towards Xiaoman.
Xiaoman did not let Xue Yue carry her on her back this time. After recovering, although she is still a little weak, she has no problem walking.
Chu Huan and Zhuo Feng walked behind and looked at Chu Huan up and down. Zhuo Feng was the first to ask: "It seems that you have really been injected with the Xuanjie gene."
"I told you before, but you don't believe me."
"I believe it now."
"I didn't know what I was injected with at the beginning, or I only found out recently." Chu Huan said and explained the process of injecting the Xuanjie gene. Zhuo Feng did not speak for a long time after listening.
"This matter can't end like this. Find out who created the Xuanjie gene. If you need my help, just ask." Zhuo Feng said something came to mind and asked: "How many times have you evolved?"
"We will definitely investigate, but we have to wait until we return to Pei Country."
"Is this the third time?" Chu Huan thought for a while: "The first time it was the dragon scale armguard, the second time it was the turtle shield, and this time it was the scarlet lin."
Zhuo Feng was a little surprised: "Only three times? If I'm not wrong, this is just the beginning."
"Because Xuanjie genes are mainly based on evolution, you still have more mutations now." Zhuo Feng said and looked at Chu Huan: "I really want to see what you can evolve into in the end."
"I don't know if it's good or bad." Chu Huan was a little confused and asked a philosophical question: "Am I still the same person after evolution?"
"You are still you, even if you die, you will still be reincarnated in the next life." Zhuo Feng spoke out about theology: "This world is constantly reincarnated, and each of us is unique. Of course, there are some exceptions.
"
"In the beginning, gods shaped human beings and left divinity, that is, divine consciousness, in human beings. However, time was too long, and some people's divine consciousness has been wiped out, and they have fallen into darkness forever and cannot reincarnate."
"Some people are reincarnated as cats, dogs or plants."
"Every animal has its own god."
"These are not what I said, they are mentioned in the divine scriptures." Zhuo Feng said and asked Chu Huan a question: "Have you read the divine scriptures?"
Chu Huan shook his head: "Peiguo does not have these things, and Peiguo is an atheistic country."
"I will give you a copy later so that you can understand that everyone has the freedom to believe and the right not to believe."
"Everyone has their own ideas. It's amazing that a country as big as Pei State can achieve unified thinking. But the more they do this, the more I find it strange. I always feel that Pei State is trying to cover up something."
"Sometimes I feel like this continent is a prison."
"I wish I was overthinking it."
"But this is not what we are considering now."
"Nowadays, we are very quiet, and no one listens to what we say."
Zhuo Feng chattered endlessly, while Chu Huan listened quietly. When Zhuo Feng said that he wanted to give himself a divine book, Chu Huan made a joke and asked: "Are you preaching?"
Zhuo Feng chuckled: "Are you interested in joining the Shrine? In twenty years at most, I guarantee that you can get to the position of Great Elder."
"That is inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people."
Chu Huan shook his head: "I heard that except for the God Emperor, senior clergy cannot get married?"
"Tch, you can have an illegitimate child. Who will dare to interfere with your private life then? Your reason for rejection is too perfunctory."
Chu Huan still shook his head without explaining too much. He looked to the east. It would be dawn in another hour. The road ahead was relatively safe, but what should we do next?
"I don't know how many people from Pei State's army are coming from behind." Chu Huan glanced behind him.
"By the way, what is your plan? Why do you have to come to the ancient city?" Zhuo Feng asked curiously.
"Friends come from far away."
"What?"
"Pirates."
"You still have pirate friends... Yes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend." Zhuo Feng said and stopped: "Seriously, there is something going on here in Dahuang Continent. Do you want to follow me to Jingguo?"
"Okay, but I have to go back to Pei Country first."
"Then it's settled, let's go to Jingguo from Peiguo together."
Chu Huan nodded and said okay.
"There has always been a delicate balance in this world, and sometimes they are in opposition to each other." Zhuo Feng raised his head and looked at the starry sky: "Just like the more advanced technology is, the emptier people's hearts become."
"Social convenience will cause people to become more and more distant directly."
"The more readily available something is, the less people cherish it."
“The richer the nutrition, the faster a person’s physiological functions decline.”
"The era when material things determine happiness is over..."
…………
The sun was scorching in the sky, and the scorching sunshine shone on every corner of the desert. The sand was a little hot to the feet when stepped on.
Xiaodao picked up the mineral water in his hand and took a sip. This was the third bottle of water he drank today. After drinking it, he still felt his throat was burning.
It was lunch time now, and many pirates took out some food such as bread and biscuits to satisfy their hunger. The better ones had various cans. The pirates ate with gusto, but Knife had no appetite. He felt thirsty when he saw the bread.
sharp.
In Dahuangzhou, it is good to have enough food, but it is more difficult to eat well. Thinking about Xiaodao like this, I feel regretful. It would be nice to have a drink in Lening when I have nothing to do. Why do I have to come here to suffer?
It's not because of poverty...Xiao Dao laughed to himself, then looked to the east, becoming a little anxious.
His location is the boundary of the ancient city. Directly in front of him is a desert in the direction of the ruined city. Behind him is the ancient city. There are collapsed buildings everywhere, ruins and no life.
Xiaodao walked towards the ancient city. Some pirates were setting up cannons and carrying cannonballs. Lin Xiaoxiang was standing under the shadow of a building. With a cigarette in his hand, he saw Xiaodao and waved.
"Third Master, aren't you in a hurry? The appointed time will be here soon." When he came to Lin Xiaoxiang, Xiaodao said: "I know Chu Huan well, and he means what he says. He's not here now, is he?
What accident happened?"
Lin Xiaoxiang took out a cigarette and handed it over: "I'm anxious and can't eat hot tofu. What can you do?"
Lin Xiaoxiang was telling the truth. This desert is so big, let alone looking for people, you might get lost if you go out.
"You blood wolves have a lot of money, but I can't. I spent all my wealth on this trip." Xiao Dao said and sighed: "I don't know what the situation is in the ruined city."
Lin Xiaoxiang shook his head and said he didn't know.
Xiaodao looked helpless. He was very happy when he first contacted Chu Huan, but there was no news from Chu Huan in the past few days, which made him feel a little panicked.
Previously, Chu Huan said that he wanted to buy all the arms in Lin Xiaoxiang's hands and asked them to set up a defense line in the ancient city in order to deal with the pursuers behind him. When he learned that Xiao Dao was behind him, Chu Huan asked Xiao Dao to sell him the arms as well.
…
After hanging up the phone, Knife began to settle accounts. It was not impossible to sell it to Chu Huan, but he couldn't make a lot of money this time - Chu Huan was his major shareholder. The original price of the arms was 30,000 gold coins, of which 20,000 were Chu Huan's investment.
If Huan wants to buy it, he can't make money from the knife. Apart from the commission and shipping fee for Hong Yue, he might still lose money on this trip.
Thinking about this knife is a bit overwhelming. He worked so hard to get here across thousands of mountains and rivers, but he ended up doing a loss-making business. When word spread, it still made people laugh.
Next, he and Lin Xiaoxiang talked about Chu Huan. What did Chu Huan want with so many arms? There was only one answer. He was going against Pei Guo. Now it was spread throughout the continent that Pei Guo had captured the ruined city. Chu Huan still wanted to
Going to war with the coalition forces...isn't this taking chestnuts from the fire?
Lin Xiaoxiang didn't care, as long as he gave him money, he could sell the arms to anyone.
Now it's the appointed time, and Chu Huan hasn't shown up yet. Xiaodao is a little anxious. Coupled with the scorching sun, he is sweating profusely and is suffering like an ant on a hot pot.
"Chu Huan is here." Lin Xiaoxiang picked up the telescope and looked at it for a moment. After that, he handed the telescope to Xiaodao. Xiaodao picked it up and looked at it for a few times, then nodded immediately: "It's them, right." After that, he said.
He was about to go in the direction where Chu Huan was coming, but was stopped by Lin Xiaoxiang.
