After Qu Jianlei replenished his supplies, it took him three days to find a relatively safe area to set up camp.
It was beside a small river, on a small slope.
There is a relatively gentle platform on the slope, and there is a bulge on the outside, which can block the outside view.
Qu Jianlei would never dare to choose such a terrain when he was down and out.
But when you have a certain ability to protect yourself, this kind of terrain is quite rare.
He stayed here for fifteen days until his body revived slightly, and then he said to himself, "Just think of it as the second level of Qi Refining."
After another ten days, he was sure that the injection was completely ineffective on him, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In these twenty-five days, he consumed less than half of the total amount of food, but not much water.
There was a small river nearby, but he did not dare to use the water. He had never seen any living things in that river.
This was also the reason why he stopped by the river in the first place - in the wasteland, rivers in the wild can basically be regarded as trenches.
But these days have really not been in vain. Not only has he reached the second level of Qi Refining, but his physical fitness has also been greatly improved.
Before, he should have been about 1.65 meters tall, skinny and small, but now he is at least... 1.75 meters tall, right?
Some muscles have also grown on the body that has been malnourished for a long time. Not only is it stronger, but it also reacts faster.
It's just that I'm still thin... Nutrition really can't be replenished in one day.
In the past twenty days, there have been several people coming from a distance. It’s hard to say what the specific purpose was.
Qu Jianlei would not make contact with the opponent. He would usually just shoot over and hit the open space in front of the opponent, "Get out!"
His marksmanship was very accurate, which was very scary, and he fired a blank shot, which proved that there was no shortage of ammunition.
Qu Jianlei thought that he was more particular about what he did - at least he didn't sap, right?
However, this kind of life should come to an end. Staying here for too long can easily attract Big Macs.
The key is that he has consumed a lot of supplies. Although he can still hold on for a while, he always has to "don't wait until there is no time to think about the time."
He has spent enough time in the wild, and now that he has some wealth, it would be more serious to find some way to make money.
It’s quite difficult to start a business with bare hands, isn’t it?
He planned to have a good night's sleep, get up early the next morning to tidy up, and then go explore suitable places for development.
As a result, he was woken up by a slight noise in the middle of the night. It was an alarm device that had been triggered.
Because he had the conditions, his alarm device was set up in several layers and responded in several layers.
Today's alarms are of the lowest kind - small, slow, and far away.
Therefore, the warning sound is also low, just let him hear it.
If the threat is great, a piercing alarm bell is a must-not only wake him up, but also deter the other party.
He picked up the night vision binoculars and looked at it, and found that it was a small human body, still five hundred meters away from him.
A dwarf? Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, and then... continued to sleep.
There is no shortage of all kinds of weird people in the wasteland. The probability of dwarfs is actually much higher than that of Blue Star.
As long as the other party does not reach the high level of the alarm, you can ignore it.
But even if I want to sleep... it's not easy to fall asleep. There are unknown risk factors. Who can sleep so soundly?
Not to mention that Qu Jianlei himself has a very bad sense of security - what are you doing in the middle of the night in the wilderness?
Fortunately, the figure moved a few more steps, then curled up there and stopped moving.
But even so, Qu Jianlei didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, almost always in a half-asleep and half-awake state.
At dawn, he woke up and packed up various things.
He had lived on the hillside for nearly a month, and it didn't take him a while to clean it up.
It wasn't until noon that he had almost finished packing, and some supplies... were too lazy to pack up again.
Three months ago, he wouldn't have let go of those consumables.
But now, the conditions are different, especially there is a guy of unknown origin.
But this guy actually dared to lie down and sleep in the wild, and he didn't bother to care about what kind of weird thing it was.
But while walking around, he still discovered that... maybe it wasn't a dwarf.
He had come into contact with a lot of dwarfs or mutants and had considerable knowledge of them, but the bald man in front of him was too thin.
Adult dwarfs are really different from real children, and experienced people can tell at a glance.
But so what? It has nothing to do with him.
But just as he was about to leave, he still couldn't hold himself back, walked up and kicked the child.
"Are you alive? Just tell me if you are dead...I will bury you."
There is a mandatory requirement in the wasteland. When survivors die, they must be laid to rest.
Firstly, it is to prevent fallen people or mutated beasts from eating the corpse, and secondly...it is said that there are other concerns.
With a kick, the little body turned over, revealing a pale and swollen face, but a shriveled belly.
"Purple flower lichen poisoning," Qu Jianlei saw the clue at a glance - he himself had been poisoned.
It's just that this child's poisoning is quite deep. If he recovers naturally... he will probably starve to death before he recovers.
Qu Jianlei shook his head speechlessly, turned and left.
However, just when he was about to push the motorcycle, it stopped again.
After thinking about it, he shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Oh... I'm unlucky."
Coming to the child again, he squatted on the ground, opened the child's mouth, and roughly squeezed a nutrient supplement into it.
After doing this, he said to himself, "It's not that I have forgotten the lessons learned from the past, the main thing is... you can't be buried alive, right?"
After the nutrient was taken into the stomach, it only took two or three minutes for the child's eyes to slowly open.
The toxicity of purple lichen is not very high. The most common symptoms are diarrhea and facial swelling, which can be recovered by relying on the body's own recovery mechanism.
But during the recovery process, you must take in nutrients—at least you must be able to bear it.
This child was not so much poisoned as fainted from hunger. Poisoning did exist, but there was nothing left to excrete.
So it's normal for him to wake up so quickly.
Seeing that he was awake, Qu Jianlei took a plastic bowl and poured out some water... five or six mouthfuls.
Then he added a pinch of salt and said coldly, "Drink water."
This was also a way to speed up physical recovery. He didn't want to take out a nutritional supplement and the other party still couldn't bear it and died.
Did the child's eyes gradually gain focus? He cried out "ah ah ah" several times, but he didn't know what it meant.
"Mute?" Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care. There are mutants, so what does disability mean?
He just thought that the other party didn't understand the purpose of drinking water, so he explained, "rehydration."
As for whether the other party can understand it, that's not his concern.
Unexpectedly, the child closed his mouth, swallowed hard a few times, and then opened his mouth again, "I, I... I'm not mute."
His voice is extremely hoarse, but you can still hear it clearly if you listen carefully.
"Oh," Qu Jianlei nodded, still not paying attention, "I'm not mute, I'm a stutterer."
The child swallowed a few more times before speaking again, "I...I don't stutter either."
"Drink water quickly," Qu Jianlei was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The child waited a moment, then slowly sat up, picked up the plastic bowl, and drank the water in small sips.
During this process, Qu Jianlei just looked at the other person curiously and did not speak.
When he saw the other party finished drinking the water, he raised his hand to take the plastic bowl, turned around and left.
When he came here, he pushed both the cart and the motorcycle onto the slope. If he wanted to leave now, he had to push the cart down first and then the motorcycle.
As a result, when he pushed the motorcycle downhill, the child had regained his composure and followed him timidly.
Are you addicted to free meals? Qu Jianlei said without looking back, "Hairless monster, don't follow me."
Not only did the child have no hair, but he also had no eyebrows or eyelashes, so he gave him a random nickname.
The timid little guy was stunned when he heard this, "The one just now... wasn't money to buy your life?"
The voice is still a little hoarse, but it is much better than before.
"Why should I pay for your life?" Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, "With your small body, you can only eat and drink."
There is no shortage of people working for others in the wasteland, but there is no use buying such weak little guys.
The hairless monster rolled his eyes and said, "I'm useful, sir."
Qu Jianlei ignored him, pushed the motorcycle downhill, and began to fix and bundle the scooter.
The child didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched.
After Qu Jianlei fixed it, he got on the motorcycle without looking back and started it.
There are a lot of things on the cart. Although it has been fixed, it is not advisable to start too fast.
Seeing the motorcycle start to accelerate, the hairless monster became anxious and shouted, "Sir, I am really useful."
"You can't afford that, you're poor!" Qu Jianlei continued to speed up. He didn't want to experience the story of the farmer and the snake again.
When the child saw this, he was really anxious, "I can pay you!"
He had a near-death experience and he really didn't want to experience it a second time.
At first, he thought the other party had ulterior motives, and even doubted whether he would become a living donor in the organ trade.
But at that time, he had no ability to resist and could only tell himself: This is much better than starving to death.
But the way the other party acted step by step, it seemed like... he was saving people purely for the sake of saving them.
This really overturned his cognition. Even though he was young, he had a deep understanding of the wasteland.
Becoming a saint in the wasteland...this kind of behavior is really a bit too different.
The key is to see that the opponent's small car is tied to a large car, and it is obvious that there is no shortage of resources.
This kind of person can definitely be trusted... at least he doesn't bother to harm others.
"Reward?" Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly and increased the accelerator.
The most untrustworthy thing in the wasteland is the promise of strangers... How can someone who can really afford the payment almost starve to death?
When the hairless monster saw this, he became anxious and ran after him, shouting as he chased, "I'm very familiar with this place."
"Can you be more familiar with me?" Qu Jianlei snorted coldly and ignored the other party.
Don’t tell me what experience you have, just tell me how much information you can know at your age?
