"How about we take the subway!" Wang Xiaoru suggested.
"Okay!" Zhou Yue said.
The two of them looked at Lin Fei. It didn't matter whether Lin Fei took the subway or not. Since they had already decided, the three of them walked towards the entrance of the subway station in the distance.
The place to eat tonight is a bit far away, and Lin Fei has never been to that location before, so he cannot use the space teleportation ability.
The three of them entered the subway station and took the subway to the place to eat, which took about half an hour.
"There are a lot of people here!" After coming out of the subway station, Zhou Yue couldn't help but sigh when she saw the crowded scene on the street.
"There are many restaurants here, and many people come here to eat after get off work, so there are many people here." Wang Xiaoru explained with a smile.
"The light will be red soon, let's cross the road quickly." Lin Fei saw the numbers displayed on the traffic light and reminded the two people around him, and then the three of them hurriedly crossed the road.
The place where we ate was a very nice restaurant with simple decoration and two waiters in ancient costumes at the door.
“Welcome.”
Lin Fei and the other three walked into the hotel, and the waiter immediately greeted them warmly.
Then, the three people came to a private room under the guidance of the waiter.
After ordering, the waiter turned and left. Lin Fei took the tea poured by Wang Xiaoru, took a sip and said.
"The temperature in Rongcheng has increased a lot in the past few days. How is it here?"
Wang Xiaoru put down the water glass in her hand, "It's quite hot here, especially in the two hours in the afternoon. If you go out without a parasol, you will be dizzy from the sun."
"Then you have to be more careful." Lin Fei said.
"I'm okay, I rarely go out at noon..." Wang Xiaoru replied.
Zhou Yue said with a smile, "After lunch, where should we go to play next?"
"I can do either, you just decide." Lin Fei said nonchalantly.
Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru began to discuss where to go after dinner. Lin Fei, who had nothing to do, took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
There have been a lot of reports about alien beasts in the news recently. Lin Fei checked the news and saw several reports about alien beasts approaching urban areas.
"Lin Fei."
Lin Fei, who was watching the news, heard Zhou Yue calling him and immediately raised his head to look.
"What?"
"Xiaoru and I have agreed to go to the beach after lunch."
"Do you want to go swimming?" Lin Fei asked.
"Yes, Xiaoru has been very busy during this period and rarely has free time, so she wants to go to the beach to play and swim in the sea." Zhou Yue said.
"Okay!" Lin Fei nodded. Going to the beach was very simple for him. Since both of them wanted to go, they decided after eating.
"After eating later, let's go to the nearby swimsuit store to buy some swimsuits." Wang Xiaoru said.
"It just so happens that I want to change into a new swimsuit recently." Zhou Yue agreed.
Lin Fei heard the two people say that they wanted to go to the swimsuit store to buy new swimsuits after dinner. The image of them in swimsuits could not help but appear in his mind, and he was looking forward to it.
…………
In the endless spiritual world, in Stronghold No. 19, after the sun rises in the sky, the investigators stationed in the stronghold wake up one after another. After washing, they come out of the dormitory and go to the cafeteria to have breakfast.
The bustling canteen was filled with the sounds of various chatter. The investigators had different tasks. After finishing their tasks, while eating, they would all chat with each other about some of the things they encountered while performing their tasks.
"Today I'm going to stand guard over the mining area."
"That's not boring."
"Yeah, it's boring."
"I heard that the mining area at Stronghold No. 21 was attacked by alien beasts last week."
"Ah? The mining area at Stronghold No. 21 was actually attacked. Were there any casualties?"
"As far as I know, because the guards responded quickly and detected the approach of the strange beast in advance, there were no casualties in the end."
"That's good. Our stronghold has not been attacked by alien beasts for a long time. Stronghold No. 21 is not far from us. Since his mining area has been attacked by alien beasts, it is very likely that it will happen here too."
"It seems that I need to be more careful when I go on guard duty later to prevent being attacked by strange beasts..."
Several investigators who gathered for breakfast chatted. After breakfast, they separated and went to the place where they performed their tasks.
Two investigators, one tall and one short, walked forward and arrived at the mining site.
The mining area covers an area of more than 10,000 acres. A lot of machinery is in operation. A large amount of ore is mined and stacked in a specific location. Special porters then put the ore on a truck and transport it away.
There are quite a few people working here, and the number has increased in recent months.
A year ago, there were less than one-fifth of the number of people mining here.
As some newly built strongholds become more and more complete, the base camp continues to send more manpower.
The investigators who are responsible for standing guard are on the periphery of the mining area. Some outposts are more than a hundred meters high. The investigators stand on the outposts and patrol around.
The main reason why the outpost is so high is because the trees in the spiritual world are too tall.
Big trees generally have a height of 100 meters. If the outpost is built too short, the line of sight will be blocked by these big trees with a height of 100 meters. The height of the outpost must be built higher than the height of the surrounding big trees.
The investigator stood on the outpost and performed his task. Time passed and the investigator on the outpost yawned.
Unless there is an emergency, standing on the outpost and performing tasks is very boring.
I yawned several times in succession, raised my hand to rub my eyes, and suddenly, a black smoke appeared in front of me on the left.
"Is there a fire there?" The moment the investigator at the outpost saw the smoke, he subconsciously thought there was a fire in the forest.
Once a forest fire breaks out, it takes a lot of effort to put it out.
Therefore, sometimes when fires are observed in some places in the forest, investigators will take the initiative to put out the fires at relatively close locations.
Not long after, a fire-fighting team left the stronghold and quickly headed to the place where the fire broke out.
The plants were burned by the flames, the fire became bigger and bigger, black smoke floated into the sky, and creatures within a dozen kilometers could be seen.
The investigators arrived at the place where the fire broke out and immediately used their abilities to put out the fire.
The water vapor in the air gathers to form a cloud in the sky, and raindrops fall from the sky. They are only the size of rice grains at first, and then become the size of mung beans.
As time went by, the rain became heavier and heavier. Although the rain could suppress the fire, such rain alone was not enough.
Investigators began to cut down large trees to create isolation zones to prevent forest fires from spreading toward the camp.
This specialized fire-fighting team was experienced and took more than an hour to create an isolation zone several kilometers long.
The forest fire stopped in front of the isolation zone. The investigators looked at the fire dozens of meters away and discussed which direction to proceed next.
At this moment, a beast roar came from the distance.
"roar……"
It was a strange beast. The investigators who were on the scene putting out the fire heard the roar of the beast and were immediately sure that the sound was made by a strange beast.
When the alien beast appeared in the forest fire, the originally uncontrollable fire seemed to be controlled by a pair of invisible hands and began to rush towards the investigators.
"Damn it, this fire was caused by a strange beast."
"I'm just wondering, how could a fire start in such weather?"
"Everyone, step back."
An investigator shouted to his companions, and then he clasped his hands together. The ground beneath his feet rippled, and the soil quickly rose up, forming walls more than ten meters high.
The incoming flames hit the earthen wall, making a roaring sound.
Facing the impact of the flames, the earthen wall continued to tremble, and black marks began to appear.
"If you want to break through my earthen wall, go back and practice for another five hundred years!" the investigator who used the supernatural power said disdainfully.
In the distance, among the flames was a strange beast covered in scales. This strange beast was more than five meters long, with horns on its head and red eyes, as if there were flames burning in its eyes.
Under the control of this strange beast, the surrounding flames continuously hit the earth wall in the distance.
Thick earth walls are more resistant to flames, so no matter how the flames are, the earth walls that are hit will remain standing.
"roar……"
The alien beasts were a little annoyed. They thought they could easily kill these humans, but they didn't expect that among them there were guys who had awakened and restrained their own fire powers.
"call out."
A harsh sound broke through the air suddenly, and a golden stream of light tore through the air and headed towards the alien beast.
The alien beast, covered in flames, jumped up and easily avoided the enemy's sneak attack.
A dart hit the ground and instantly blasted a hole of more than ten square meters in the ground.
The alien beast raised its head and looked towards the place where the enemy attacked, only to see an investigator wearing a peaked cap standing on a high platform made of soil.
"The response was pretty quick."
The investigator wearing a peaked cap raised his left hand, pushed the hat, and then took out a dozen darts from his waist.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The dart turned into a golden stream of light and flew towards the strange beast.
Rumbling explosions sounded one after another, and the alien beasts dodged awkwardly under the attacks of the investigators.
Since the alien beast controlling the fire was attacked, the fire attacking the investigator suddenly became much weaker.
Other investigators also began to take action at this time, and various attacks were directed at the strange beast.
"roar……"
After a fight, the wounds on the bodies of the strange beasts that sneaked up on the investigators became more and more numerous. Blood flowed from the wounds and dripped on the ground. Affected by the high temperature, the blood quickly dried up and turned into red marks.
After fighting for more than a hundred rounds, the alien beast felt that its strength was gradually declining.
It knew at this moment that it was no match for the enemies in front of it, so it ran away very decisively.
"Don't even think about escaping." The investigator was very experienced in combat. The moment he saw the alien beast turning around, he knew that this guy knew he was losing and was going to run away, so he quickly chased after him.
"Don't chase." Someone became alert and shouted quickly.
When the others heard this, they immediately stopped because the companion's awakened power could provide an early warning, so they did not pursue the strange beast.
The fleeing beast saw a look of regret in its eyes when the enemy did not pursue it, and then it detonated the fire hidden underground.
"Rumble..."
Dozens of fires detonated together, and terrifying explosions sounded.
After the explosion, all the dust settled, the flames at the scene were extinguished, and many black holes appeared on the ground.
"Fortunately we didn't chase the alien beast, otherwise we would have fallen into its trap." Looking at the messy scene in front of him, the investigator who just wanted to chase the alien beast said with lingering fear.
"It's a pity that we couldn't kill that strange beast."
"If it appears again next time, it won't escape so easily."
"Now that the fire here has been extinguished, let's go back and report what just happened."
Several investigators chatted for a while, then turned and left the scene.
The alien beast ran wildly away from the human stronghold. After ten minutes, it came to a small river.
At this moment, this alien beast had consumed a lot of physical strength and spiritual energy, and its mouth was dry. A river appeared in front of it, and it immediately lowered its head to drink water.
"Gudong, Gudong..." After drinking several mouthfuls of river water, the alien beast's thirsty feeling disappeared.
"Those humans are really difficult to deal with."
"If I hadn't run away in time just now, I might have fallen into their hands."
The alien beast muttered to itself, then lay down on the grass to rest and recover its consumed physical strength and spiritual energy.
"You're seriously injured!"
A voice sounded from behind, which startled the strange beast.
It immediately stood up vigilantly and looked in the direction of the sound behind it.
When the alien beast saw clearly who he was talking to, his nervousness disappeared.
"Why are you here?"
"I just heard the sound of fighting in this direction, so I came over to take a look." said the strange beast with four eyes on its face.
"Now that you've seen it, leave quickly. You're not welcome here." The beast that drove the fire said with disgust.
"Now we obey that lord's orders. Even if we had any grudges before, we will wait until this mission is over.
If that master's plan is spoiled, neither you nor I will get anything good to eat." said the strange beast with four eyes on its face.
"..." The strange beast that drove the flames suddenly fell silent after hearing these words.
What the other party said is true. If the plan goes wrong, their lives will be in danger.
"What else do you want?"
"I want to know why you broke out in a fight just now?"
The tense atmosphere between the two alien beasts eased and they began to exchange information with each other.
After a moment, the strange beast with four eyes on its face said, "After the death of the soul bird, this forest was occupied by those humans. Now we want to plot this forest, so we can't be too hasty."
The alien beast that drove the fire nodded. According to what it understood, there were many big figures plotting this forest, and they were just one of the forces.
If you are anxious to start a conflict with the humans in the forest, and fight to the end, you may end up making a wedding dress for other competitors.
"Next, please don't conflict with those humans anymore. I'll go find that adult and ask what to do next." said the alien beast with four eyes on its face.
"Okay, I understand." The fire-driving beast nodded.
In fact, there is no need for the other party to tell it, and it will not conflict with humans again.
After all, after the battle just now, it has learned that the nearby human strongholds are not easy to mess with. At the same time, it will take time to recover from the injuries it suffered, and it will have to hibernate for a while.
