After the mud receded, the tortoise shell in front of me completely exceeded my expectations.
The dark brown shell reflects an unusual luster under weak light.
There was a faint stream of light flickering, and even though he had been dead for who knows how long, the aura belonging to the Underworld Overlord could still be clearly felt.
Without the cover of mud, Big Head and Meatball will be shocked by the smell on the turtle shell.
If a living Xuantong were in front of them, even if it was just a cub, crushing them to death would be no different than crushing an ant to death.
But if it's on your own territory, that's a different story.
Each tortoise shell has a heavy and atmospheric feeling, as if time has left traces on the tortoise shell.
Especially in the middle of the tortoise shell, there is a crimson spine that flashes with fire-colored light, like a burning flame, which is even more shocking.
This is just a cub, I can't imagine how big and fierce Xuantong will be as an adult.
For a moment, I remembered the shadow of the huge creature I saw during the last tide in the Yellow Spring.
In my heart, I couldn't help but feel more in awe of the underworld in front of me.
Traveling ninety thousand miles across the underworld, I don’t even bother to dominate and carry the monument.
Dare to use this sentence to describe himself, it seems that Xuantong does have the capital to be arrogant.
It's a pity that this is the corpse of a cub, and it has no chance of becoming a ferocious beast that truly roams the underworld.
For this, Ding Xiaoyi didn't know whether to be grateful or regretful.
I'm glad that this guy is dead, so I can take advantage of it.
It's a pity that Xuantong, who was supposed to be the overlord, died young and was eventually buried in the mud.
"There must be treasures under that puddle!"
Ding Xiaoyi thought about it. Next time he would dig out that puddle, even if there was no big stuff, he would dig out everything underneath.
I'll put this tortoise shell away for now, and I'll figure out how to use it.
As for what the old man said before leaving, stew! Only a ghost would believe him.
After moving the engine to the room, Ding Xiaoyi walked around the house again. Now there is a generator.
This old house should also be repaired.
After clearly remembering the proportions around the house, Ding Xiaoyi began to design a sketch.
Once you have electricity, you need to install lights first. The lights in the room must be bright. I plan to design four extra-large lamp posts in the yard.
It is convenient for lighting yourself when catching the sea.
There is also a voltage stove, which is convenient for cooking.
The water storage tank is actually of little use, after all, you can go back to reality and buy water at any time.
But the design is the same, just in case of emergency.
Here are two more electric grills to catch the sea in front and barbecue in the back, plus two bottles of cold beer, hehe...
The more Ding Xiaoyi thought about it, the more he felt that a golden nest or a silver nest was not as real as his own doghouse.
Theoretically, although the engine of Explorer 1 is not powerful enough, but relatively speaking, with a little modification and adjustment, it can fully meet these daily needs.
After making a plan, Ding Xiaoyi started to get busy.
All the materials I brought before are here. Today I will remove the wires and install the transformer and fuse box.
I have been working hard for no one knows how long.
By the time Ding Xiaoyi returned to reality from Hell, it was already noon the next day outside.
After a brief wash, he opened the door and took a look, only to see that Iron Claw was still squatting at the door guarding it.
"I said, why don't you go back and take a rest? Is there no one to change shifts??"
Looking at Iron Claw's appearance, his eyes were all red. On the ground were the lunch boxes he had just finished eating, and cigarette butts all over the ground.
My greasy hair was almost sticking together, and those who didn't know it thought it was just hairspray.
Ding Xiaoyi couldn't bear this.
"Need not!"
Iron Claw stubbornly shook his head and rejected Ding Xiaoyi's proposal.
In fact, you can't blame him for being embarrassed.
Just because I was in a hurry, I would have made certain preparations for this kind of one-on-one protection in the past.
For example, Wang Jialiang also needs to go back to get some daily necessities.
It's just that Iron Claw was sent here temporarily without any preparation. He could have asked his colleagues to help him deliver something.
And it was during this time that the union was already in chaos.
Just yesterday, after Redding and others returned, they received news that the army escorting the box was attacked.
When support arrived, no one was left alive.
What's puzzling is that the contents of the box were torn into pieces.
The debris on the ground has become part of a tree.
There are no clues at the moment, and the union is arguing with the league over this matter.
For a moment, I almost forgot about Iron Claw.
As for Iron Claw, this guy is obviously a bit stubborn. If you let him guard, he will be like a piece of wood guarding outside, without any flexibility.
"Hey, come in first, wash your face, and get some sleep!"
After all, people are there to protect themselves, so it doesn't make sense to have people squat outside all the time.
"Can't you be flexible?" He handed Iron Claw a brand new towel.
Ding Xiaoyi looked up and down at this guy. He had golden-brown hair, a bit naturally curly, and very dark skin. He didn't know if this guy was dark himself or because he was tanned.
He was one meter tall. After wiping his face, he grinned at Ding Xiaoyi, looking honest and amiable.
"Hey hey hey..."
At this time, Iron Claw suddenly remembered something interesting and couldn't help laughing.
"why are you laughing??"
Seeing Tiezhao suddenly laughing, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but ask.
"Hehehe, I laughed. Fortunately, it was me, not Heijia. I heard that during his mission this time, [Yuan Yu] swallowed up all his memories of passwords. As a result, this guy is still borrowing money.
The state of my life, let alone going home, I can’t even make a call on my cell phone!”
Thinking of Hei Jia standing in front of his door, his stomach growling with hunger, but holding his cell phone with a blank look on his face, Ding Xiaoyi also laughed a little unkindly.
After all, in today's era of high informationization and networking, once you forget your password, no matter what you do, it will be very troublesome.
"Sorry, I may be more difficult to deal with!"
Looking at the tall and honest Tie Zhao in front of him, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly felt that it was always a bit unkind to let people squat at the gate.
Iron Claw waved his hands, not caring about this matter at all.
Taking a deep breath, he said to Ding Xiaoyi: "Actually, this is already very good. We have also served more complicated and difficult masters. Last time, it was a wealthy businessman. The person who accepted the task was Wang Qi. She even had to guard the wealthy businessman 24 hours a day.
Even when the wealthy businessmen and their lovers are performing martial arts action movies, they have to watch from the sidelines!"
"Where are you going to the bathroom?"
"Follow!"
"Where's the bath?"
"Watch!"
"Can't you change to a man?"
"The situation at that time was very special and she met the protection conditions."
Seeing Ding Xiaoyi's unnatural expression, Tie Zhao smiled and said, "Why, don't you think it's too much?"
"Is there anything more extreme?"
"Yes!" Iron Claw nodded, but did not continue.
Instead, he explained to Ding Xiaoyi: "Once the union's protection order is signed, as the protected person, we must do our best to protect the other party, even if the other party's demands are excessive."
Hearing this, Ding Xiaoyi thought of Wang Jialiang, and in order to protect himself, he even informed the man in the cloak of the news about Warehouse No. 2.
"What if..." He opened his mouth, not knowing how to ask.
However, although Tie Zhao looks very simple and honest, he is still very delicate in his heart. Seeing Ding Xiaoyi's troubled look, you know what he wants to say.
"I know you are worried about Wang Jialiang, but don't worry, his actions are allowed by the protection order. The union is not a cold machine. If the person who provides the benefits is in danger, we can give up this part of the benefits, otherwise who would dare
Give the union a clue!”
After talking about Iron Claw, he added: "Of course, interests are linked to the level of protection regulations. If the degree of damage to the union exceeds the interests..."
Iron Claw winked, meaning you understand.
Ding Xiaoyi understood what Tiezhao meant. For example, if he provided information, Wang Jialiang could use the information as a bargaining chip in exchange for himself.
But if the man in the cloak wants to threaten himself, just ask for the box.
This exceeds the value it provides to the union, and the union will give up on itself without hesitation.
"Very fair and realistic."
Regarding the protection order, he felt relieved, at least Wang Jialiang would not be punished for it.
But speaking of Wang Jialiang, I don’t know how this guy is doing. Forget it today, let’s go to the hospital to see this guy tomorrow.
"Meow!"
At this time, a cold and arrogant meow made the two of them turn around.
I saw the black cat squatting on the beam, its slender tail waving behind it.
Looking at the two of them condescendingly, with a condescending look and cold and arrogant eyes, it made people feel that this cat was looking at its own slaves.
"The cat you raise?" Tie Zhao looked at Ding Xiaoyi.
"No, I came here by myself. I don't know whose cat it is. It must have become wild."
This black cat hasn’t left yet? Ding Xiaoyi is surprised.
"Wild cat? Come on, Mimi Mimi!" Iron Claw seemed to like the cat very much, and stretched out his hand to call the black cat down.
However, what he got in exchange was not the black cat, but a disdainful look, and he silently turned around and turned his back to him.
"Haha, it seems like it doesn't like you very much."
Seeing the deflated appearance of Iron Claw, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help laughing.
Iron claws rubbed his shoulders, indicating that he was not ready this time and would make the cat like him next time.
After saying that, he put down the towel, walked outside the door again and squatted there.
Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi said nothing. He raised his head and glanced at the black cat, then stretched and walked towards the room. After working in Huangquan for a while, he was also sleepy.
Turning on the air conditioner, lying on the priceless solid wood bed, Ding Xiaoyi quickly fell asleep with a slight snore.
"Buzz!"
At this time, the window was pushed open a crack, and a black shadow flashed in.
The soft pink soles of the feet, with elegant steps, came to Ding Xiaoyi step by step, and saw sharp nails gradually protruding from the black cat claws.
Looking at Ding Xiaoyi who was sleeping soundly, he seemed to hesitate for a while, then stepped lightly on Ding Xiaoyi, opened his mouth and inhaled, and a ray of apricot-yellow light invisible to ordinary people was swallowed by the black cat.
For a moment, a ray of light flashed in the ice blue pupils, and the shadow of the black cat reflected on the wall was obviously larger than before...
