Chapter 2498 When something goes wrong, there must be a monster (two chapters in one)
"call……"
Originally there was no wind blowing around, but after the two investigators ran forward for more than ten kilometers, the wind began to blow stronger and stronger.
"The wind is so strong."
"Is the weather here so weird?"
"It's just that the wind is very strong, which is better than a heavy rainstorm."
"You're right. While we can still travel in the current weather, let's seize the time and run some distance further."
The two investigators chatted for a few words, and then concentrated on moving forward.
As time passed, the sun in the sky began to change color.
Seeing the changes of the sun, the two investigators knew that the sun would set soon.
"It's going to be dark soon, let's find a place to stay!" the short investigator said.
"Okay, find a place to stay that is sheltered from the wind and rain," the tall investigator said.
Both investigators knew that it was still the rainy season in this area.
If you spend the night in the open air and it starts to rain in the middle of the night, the situation will not be good.
Therefore, the best place to choose to spend the night is a cave. If there is no cave, then dig a cave.
The two investigators slowed down their running speed and began to search for natural caves around them.
As time passed and half an hour passed, the two investigators still could not find a suitable natural cave.
At this time, more than half of the sun in the sky disappeared under the distant horizon, and the bright red sunset dyed the sky red.
The two investigators estimated that the sun would completely disappear in twenty minutes at most, and darkness would cover the earth by then.
"Five minutes earlier, if we still haven't found a natural cave, we will dig one ourselves..." the short investigator said.
"Okay, let's hurry up." the tall investigator said.
The two investigators searched carefully and finally found a natural cave within a limited time.
The entrance of this cave is not big, but when you walk inside, you will find that it is quite spacious, about more than 100 square meters.
If you want to find this kind of natural cave, you must immediately check whether there are any signs of strange animals living in the cave.
If so, when you settle down here, you have to be wary of the original owner coming back.
The two investigators checked the situation in the cave and found no signs of alien animals living there, which relieved them some worries.
"I'll go look around to see if there are any wild fruits. You go collect some wood." The tall investigator said to his companion.
"Okay, if you are attacked by a strange beast, please notify me immediately." the short investigator warned.
The two investigators worked separately. There were no dry trees near the cave, so they had to walk farther to collect wood.
Arriving in the woods, the short investigator knocked down a dead tree with one punch.
Then he put the tree on his shoulders and quickly returned to the place where he would stay tonight.
On the other side, the tall investigator was looking for wild fruits. He was lucky. He found a fruit tree a few hundred meters away from the cave.
This fruit tree is quite tall, more than twenty meters tall, with many fruits of different colors hanging on its branches.
The tall investigator took out an illustrated book of plants from the space artifact. He bought this illustrated book at Zecheng Bookstore.
According to the comparison in the botanical illustration, although the fruits grown by the fruit tree in front of me have different colors, none of them are poisonous.
The tall investigator jumped up, grabbed the tree trunk, and then quickly climbed to the top of the tree using his hands and feet.
He reached out and picked a purple fruit, took a bite, and the juice splashed in his mouth.
"So sweet."
“A little too sweet.”
"But he probably likes it very much."
The tall investigator tasted fruits of several colors, then selected them in a targeted manner and put them into the space spiritual weapon.
"roar……"
There was a roar of a beast in the distance, and the tall investigator standing in the tree heard the movement, and turned his head to look at the location of the sound.
Because he was standing at a high place, he could see far away, and he soon discovered several strange beasts in the distance.
These strange beasts looked a bit familiar. I thought about it carefully. Isn't this the same group of strange beasts I encountered when I was on the road?
The tall investigator was still wondering why these strange beasts were in such a hurry, and did not expect to encounter them again in this place.
However, the number of the entire group of alien beasts at that time was not small. Now he saw only a dozen alien beasts, which was a lot less.
The tall investigator observed for a while and found that the strange beasts stayed where they were and did not leave. He felt that these strange beasts might be planning to spend the night here tonight.
There is only the last trace of the sun left in the sky, and it will be dark soon.
The tall investigator came down from the tree and returned to the location of the cave.
When he returned to the cave, he found a lot of wood piled in the corner of the cave.
"Did you find any wild fruits?" the short investigator asked with a smile.
"Yes." The tall investigator said, then opened the space spiritual weapon, and a small pile of wild fruits appeared in his hand.
"This wild fruit tastes really good."
"Yeah, it's quite delicious... By the way, I saw some strange beasts when I was picking wild fruits just now. Those strange beasts are part of the group of hurried strange beasts we encountered before."
"Is it such a coincidence?"
"Yeah, it's quite a coincidence."
The two people were chatting. Although they were a little confused about the appearance of those strange beasts nearby, they didn't think too much about it.
After all, I'm just staying here for one night and leaving here tomorrow morning, so I don't need to focus too much on those strange beasts.
…………
Zecheng.
After the sun goes down, the streets become more lively.
The sound outside the window came into the room, and the sleeping figure lying on the bed opened his eyes.
"Ha~"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead raised his hand, yawned, and murmured to himself.
"It was a really long sleep. It was already dark."
When we returned to the city, the sun was still high in the sky.
After lunch, he took a nap and when he woke up, it was already dark outside. This did not occur to the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
The street is very lively, and various sounds are intertwined and transmitted into the room through the windows.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead lifted the quilt covering himself, got up and got out of bed, went to the window, opened it and looked outside.
The streets were full of cars and people, and it was busier than ever.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the bustling scene on the street with a smile on his face, and then he said with some doubts.
"It's really strange. Today is not a holiday, so why are there so many people on the street?" After saying that, his stomach growled.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought for a moment, closed the window, and left the guest room.
He didn't plan to have dinner at the inn, but wanted to find a restaurant outside.
I stayed outside the city some time ago, and although there was something to eat, the food was not good.
Now back in the city, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead needs to treat himself well.
Therefore, he chose a very popular restaurant near the inn to eat.
…………
"Sir, are you going out?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was about to leave the inn when he met the waiter on the way. Hearing the waiter's greeting, he immediately smiled and nodded.
After leaving the inn, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not choose to call a carriage on the roadside.
Because the place he wanted to go was not very far, so he could just go there on foot.
“Freshly fried fish, don’t miss it if you pass by.”
A young vendor was hawking hard, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped when he passed by.
We had to walk for a while to go to the restaurant for dinner, and now the smell of the fried fish was very tempting, so I decided to buy some to eat on the way.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead paid the money, waited for a while, and then got a pack of fried fish.
While eating the crispy fried fish, he walked towards the restaurant.
Because there are many people on the road, sometimes the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead will be blocked halfway.
I was very hungry just now. Fortunately, I bought those fried fish to fill my stomach. Otherwise, I would be stuck in traffic and hungry, and my mood would definitely become very bad.
"Get out of the way."
A stern voice sounded in the distance. Passers-by on the road immediately turned their heads and looked when they heard it. When everyone saw a group of soldiers, they were all startled, and then quickly retreated to both sides of the road.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was carried by the crowd and came to the roadside. He stood there and watched the soldiers appearing in the distance.
These soldiers are ferocious and look very difficult to deal with. Now that they have come to this bustling commercial street, what they want to do is quite curious.
There was no way to leave now anyway. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead patiently watched the next actions of these soldiers.
There is a shop not far away that sells antiques.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the soldiers who appeared walked into the antique shop.
"The owner of the antique shop will be in trouble."
"I hope the losses will be smaller, otherwise the antique store will not be able to open."
"I was still thinking about going to the antique store tomorrow to buy some antiques for my friends. Now these soldiers have entered the antique store and the store will be closed tomorrow. I have to go elsewhere to buy gifts."
When passers-by saw the menacing soldiers entering the antique shop, they all mourned for the owner of the antique shop.
The pig-headed man captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, had no thoughts of passers-by, because under his observation, there was no sound of smashing in the antique shop.
So for now, there is no need for a moment of silence for the antique shop owner.
Time passed, and five minutes later, the soldiers who entered the antique store came out.
I entered the antique store empty-handed and came out with a large bag of stuff.
If the owner of the antique shop hadn't sent the soldiers out with a smile on his face, everyone would have thought that the soldiers had robbed the antique shop.
"Get out of the way."
The soldiers yelled at passers-by who were blocking the road, and the passers-by were so frightened that they quickly moved out of the way.
The soldier carrying the big bag left, and many passers-by went to ask the owner of the antique shop if everything was okay.
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. Those soldiers look fierce, but they are actually quite polite when buying things..." the owner of the antique shop said with a smile.
The passers-by breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and at the same time had a surprised expression on their faces.
Based on what they know about soldiers over the years, these guys don't have any manners when buying things.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the direction in which the soldiers were leaving, recalling the psychic fluctuations he had just sensed.
Yes, he immediately activated his mental perception when the soldiers came out and inspected the bags they were carrying.
As a result, after such inspection, I found something unusual in the bag I was carrying.
"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with me. I'd better go to the restaurant for dinner." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead muttered in his heart, while picking up a fried fish and throwing it into his mouth.
The soldiers arrived just now, causing some chaos on the street.
Now that the soldiers had left, the chaos quickly subsided and the streets returned to their original crowded state.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, spent a lot of time and finally left the bustling neighborhood.
He now came to a relatively deserted alley. According to past memories, walking through this deserted alley, he could see the restaurant where he would have dinner tonight.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the alley. In addition to the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, there were other passers-by.
"Don't let these guys be robbers again, otherwise I won't be merciful."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was robbed before and gave the robbers a hard lesson.
Now walking in this deserted alley, he met several people following him, which made him suspect that these people were robbers, targeting him, and preparing to find an opportunity to attack.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, deliberately quickened his pace to test the people behind him.
When he quickened his pace, the few people following him also quickened their pace.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had a cold light flashing in his eyes, thinking in his mind that he would teach these people a lesson before leaving the alley.
"Tap, step, step..."
The footsteps are getting faster and faster, and you can tell that the person walking is very fast.
Ahead was the exit of the alley. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped immediately when he saw it, then turned around and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the other party speaking first.
"Friend, there is a crack in the clothes on your back..."
Hearing this, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was stunned on the spot, and then he looked at these passers-by with some suspicion.
"You are following me because you want to remind me that the clothes behind you are torn?"
The passerby shook his head and said, "We happened to be on the way, so we saw it and wanted to remind you."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, felt a little embarrassed.
Just now he thought these people were robbers, but in the end he misunderstood them.
"Thanks!"
Since it is a misunderstanding, it is good to resolve it, and the other party does not know that he has misunderstood.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, thanked the other party and left quickly.
