"Momon Squirrel, how much material did you bring back today?"
As soon as we entered the lobby, we saw Ona leaning on the counter in the front hall, smoking idly.
"I haven't counted."
I answered truthfully, because I really don't know how much material I collected from the mutant creatures, but it probably filled half of my backpack.
"Hmm... Sometimes I really wonder why you become an explorer. Explorer should be a high-risk profession, especially at a time like this. Why not join the army? With your strength, there is no chance of joining the army.
It’s a problem, and the treatment in the military is not bad.”
Ona asked me curiously.
"It's forced by life and by chance."
I didn't expect that I would become an explorer, and Ona was right. Explorers are indeed a high-risk profession. I have encountered several life-threatening incidents while performing tasks.
But I really needed a job to support myself at that time, but I didn’t expect that my grandpa would introduce me to this kind of job. Now my job has stabilized, and although I came first, I couldn’t find a reason to quit for a while. Besides, I still have
There are a lot of people to support, and money is indispensable. No matter how much you rely on for start-up capital, you will one day be left with nothing.
"Do you need money badly?"
"Ah, I need money, a lot of money. I used to be the only one, but now I have a whole family to support."
"I seem to understand a little bit. In this case, it is true that you can make money faster by doing these jobs than joining the army. However, the danger will not change. Have you never thought that if you die because of the mission one day, you
What should the family do?”
Ona looked directly at me and said, facing such serious eyes, there is no way to fool around.
"Of course I have thought about it. It is better to say that I almost died several times before this mission. But if I don't do it, someone will always do these things, so I can't always escape."
Yes, in order to change, someone must open the way. I understand and deeply understand how dangerous it is to do this kind of thing, but I want to do it, not only for money, but also for hope.
If I die one day, those guys in my family will inherit my will.
But I will not die so easily. I will live on. This life is not just mine, and I will never waste it like this.
"You seem to be very determined. I'm just giving you a little reminder. Don't die casually. I quite like guys like you."
Ona smiled and said.
"I won't die casually, don't worry."
At least not now. I think I can still live for a long time. I will set a small goal first and live to be 100 years old.
After all, if you don't live longer, you won't be able to see the future of this world.
I walked upstairs, divided the materials in my backpack and gave them to Channing and Keskena, but I would also keep some mutant creature materials myself, which might be used for other purposes.
"Hey, our superhero, Explorer Momonga is back!"
It's Qian Gang's team member, Scissorhands. Every time I come here, I can see this guy chatting up people next to Dr. Kaina.
He is a soldier who makes no secret of his lechery, but this guy is very talkative and not annoying.
To be honest, I can understand why he always follows Dr. Kena. After all, she is a blonde beauty with a good figure and long legs. She also likes to wear black stockings. I would be lying if I said I am not attracted to him.
Although Ona is also a beautiful woman with a good figure, it feels like Qian Gang and his team members are quite afraid of her. I really don’t know why, even the lecherous guy Scissorhands doesn’t dare to talk to Ona casually.
Could it be that Ona is actually quite tough? Or maybe she has done some terrible things to them, so they don't dare to pursue Ona?
It would be too much to think that someone is dangerous because one of his hands is a robotic hand and he has undergone surgery on his waist.
All in all, I think there must be some reason why Zhihong is here.
Dr. Casey doesn't have to worry about this kind of problem at all. First of all, there is no lolita here. Well, that's right, I am definitely not one, so even though she looks cute and petite, no one will harass her. Although Scissorhands is lustful
, but obviously not a man who likes this kind of taste.
"How is your captain recovering?"
I casually mentioned their captain Qian Gang, although I knew he was recovering well.
"Oh, the captain said that he has recovered very well. He is now alive and kicking and is undergoing rehabilitation training in the corridor."
The recovery was so fast. I thought I was only able to get out of bed and walk temporarily. After all, the injury was a bit serious before. I didn't expect that I could start recovery training.
All I can say is that they really deserve to be a special forces unit.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave for a while."
After taking care of things here, yes, I'm going back downstairs to help Xiaoha's big dog barbecue.
Passing through the corridor and walking up the stairs to the lobby on the first floor, Ona was still there, but she was not smoking, just looking out quietly.
"Oh, has the matter been settled?"
"That's right. We're going to have a barbecue now. Do you want to join us?"
"Barbecue! I have to go. Oh, to be honest, your barbecue skills are really good."
Ona followed over with a smile on her face, seemingly never forgetting the last barbecue.
"Woof!!"
As soon as I walked outside, I saw Xiao Ha who was looking impatient.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I understand. Go to the open space first."
The so-called open space literally means that it is a relatively high parking lot outside the hotel. The open space after the vehicles have been cleared has not been flooded. It is a good place for barbecue.
"Shall we cross over?"
Ona asked as she looked at the water outside that could cover her knees even if she walked a few steps away.
It's not surprising that she would think so. After all, the front of the hotel is basically flooded. If you want to go out, you can only walk through the water. In her opinion, there is no way to do it, and there are no boats to row here.
If it were in the past, I would think so too.
But now.
"No need to run into the water. If you don't mind, I can take you there."
"Oh? Of course I don't mind, but what the hell..."
"Then that's a bit offensive."
I directly picked up Ona by the waist.
"Wow, oh...so that's it."
Ona looked a little surprised, but did not resist my behavior.
"but……"
"What's wrong? You don't like this?"
I think this is a more suitable method. It is better than carrying it on my back. If I carry it on my back, it will be a kind of torture for me. It is not a matter of weight, but oppression in another sense. The back is so
The feeling of holding a murder weapon against one's head is quite unpleasant.
"No, I'm just a little shy, princess hug or something."
Ona's face turned slightly red and she replied with some embarrassment.
"..."
So you are shy too?!
"Anyway, let's go barbecue first!"
Ona noticed my silence and quickly changed the topic. She seemed to be a conscious person.
"Then hold on tight."
I squatted down slightly, then used my feet to cross over in a lunge.
