21 Mist
In the forest late at night, there were two hanging lights with weak fluorescent light hanging under the branches of a certain big tree. At this time, two men seemed to be sleeping with their eyes closed under the tree.
These two people were Wang Wu and Yu Xiaodong. Along the way, except for the shocking beast roar they heard at the beginning, they encountered almost no other situations.
Yu Xiaodong slowly opened his eyes and said to Wang Wu, "Wang Wu, you can stay here until midnight!"
At this time, his face was rosy and much better than before. The serious injuries on his body had been repaired by Qi and blood energy, and no traces could be seen.
Wang Wu sighed helplessly, took one of the fluorite hanging lanterns, and walked towards the bushes as if accepting his fate.
"What's your expression? I'm a wounded person, okay? Hey! Where are you going?" Yu Xiaodong shouted to Wang Wu in a nonchalant manner.
"Relieve yourself! Brother!" Wang Wu glanced at him speechlessly.
This guy already looks like a senior, enjoying his free labor along the way.
Although it was a good thing that I didn't encounter any strange beasts, the journey seemed to be too smooth. I always felt that something was not quite right, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
At this time, Wang Wu came to the forest silently, found a quiet place, and sat cross-legged on a rock casually.
He took out the small iron box from his pocket, looked around, and then opened it carefully.
Lying inside the iron box was the map found on the man who had been killed by the barbarian before.
With the faint light of the fluorite hanging lamp, Wang Wu carefully observed the map.
After a while, Wang Wu silently put away the map, a look of contemplation on his face.
From going to the Fluorite Camp to taking on missions to earn rewards, he never had time to spare and study this map carefully.
Since he was planning to leave this time to find his wife and children, he naturally had to do some research.
Just now, he discovered that in the upper right corner of the incomplete map, under the red star, and under a mountain pattern, it was marked 'Baotian Mountain'.
If he hadn't looked carefully enough, he might not have been able to spot these three small fonts.
This is a simple topographic map of the Baotian Mountains. Above the Baotian Mountains, there is a bright red star, but there is no pattern at that location.
Is it because this map is incomplete? Is there any treasure there? Could this be related to the mission performed by Luo Peng and the others?
What made him wonder was, where did the man from before get this incomplete map?
Although Wang Wu was full of doubts, the only one who could answer him at this time was probably the middle-aged man who had died long ago.
As if he had stayed there for a long time, Wang Wu put away his messy thoughts, got up and walked in the direction he came from.
…………
Under the dark and silent night sky, a figure was holding a weak fluorescent lamp and quietly came to a dense forest.
At this moment, a mysterious figure in dark blue tights appeared in front of him. He seemed to be aware of the movement behind him and said in an indifferent tone.
"You're too late!"
Yu Xiaodong looked at the mysterious figure not far away and said in a somewhat unnatural tone.
"I have to make sure that the kid is asleep before I can..."
The mysterious man interrupted Yu Xiaodong and said in an indifferent tone, "Okay, I don't want to hear an explanation."
"How are things going?"
Yu Xiaodong carefully looked at the other party's back and said in a nervous tone.
"Everything went well, but I always feel like that Shilong seems to have noticed something. I'm afraid it will ruin the operations above!"
Hearing this, the mysterious man slowly turned around. He was wearing a full-coverage mask with a full sense of technology on his face. Yu Xiaodong could not see the other person's expression at this moment.
At this time, there seemed to be a vague figure quietly disappearing on the dark and dense tree trunks.
Yu Xiaodong, who returned to the temporary repair point, looked around cautiously and glanced at Wang Wu who was lying on his side under the tree.
After making sure that the other person was breathing smoothly and sleeping peacefully, he walked back to his original position and sat against the tree, as if he was sleeping with his eyes closed.
He didn't notice that at this time, Wang Wu's eyes on the other side were slightly opened, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.
…………
In the Fluorite Camp, Wang Wu was wandering around the streets with Aya at this time.
He and Yu Xiaodong had arrived at the camp a day ago, and both of them had a tacit understanding and chose not to mention anything about the mission.
After shopping for a while, Aya suddenly pulled Wang Wu to stop in front of a stall.
She pointed to the protective gear and small leather jackets on the stall, and looked at Wang Wu with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Looking at the simple set of children's protective gear in front of the stall, Wang Wu thought for a moment.
He felt that the journey to Mugang this time was difficult and dangerous. Although there was an old man named Lin, ah no, a young lady beside him, Aya was a child after all and had no fighting ability. She should be equipped with a set of light armor. OK. Then he looked at the stall, and a middle-aged woman with a somewhat bloated figure asked.
"How to sell this set?"
"You are really discerning. This is a carbon fiber protective gear that was collected by a pioneer in a ruins.
Although it cannot resist the attacks of strange beasts, it is still okay to protect your child's elbows and knees.
This is a piece of clothing made of iron calf leather, which can resist the erosion of acid rain, and can also resist the bites of strange animals..."
The woman glanced at Aya next to Wang Wu, then introduced with a smile
"How much money?"
Seeing that Wang Wu was a little moved, the middle-aged woman's eyes showed a hint of cunning, and she laughed and said, "It's not expensive, this set of protective gear only requires a bag of salt!"
"Isn't your price outrageous?! Forget it, I'll go look elsewhere." After that, Wang Wu turned around and left.
Seeing that Wang Wu didn't hesitate at all, the middle-aged woman turned around to leave with Aya, and quickly called him to stop.
"Hey, wait...I can't find a bag of salt either.
Look, why don't you go pick and choose if there are any other suitable things, and I'll bring them to you. "
Hearing this, Wang Wu turned around and returned to the stall again.
At this time, he looked at the dazzling array of protective equipment in front of him, but felt a little confused in his heart.
This time the Baotian Mountain mission was abandoned halfway, so he definitely didn't need to think about the rewards. Besides, he only had five bags of salt on him now. He didn't know if he would encounter wild barbarians on the way, so he had to save some.
Bags of salt and sugar are the currency in circulation after the apocalypse. A bag of salt can be exchanged for a week's worth of living supplies. Sugar can be exchanged for a whole month's worth of living supplies. If the number of sugar bags is enough, it can even be exchanged for rare materials or finished weapons.
Just now this middle-aged woman asked for a bag of salt. She was really trying to kill Wang Wu as a traitor.
"Hey, before the end of the world, you were a social beast, and after the end of the world, it will still be the same! Money will never be enough..."
Looking at the few favorite items in front of him, Wang Wu sighed slightly in his heart.
In addition to the set of lightweight armor, he also found a set of finely crafted dark blue leather jackets and a pair of bronze arm guards.
Seeing that the leather jacket was of good quality, he looked slightly moved and said to the stall owner
"I want this, and this, too!"
"You are really discerning. This is a leather coat made of blue lizard skin. It was made by the famous tailor master in the camp, Granny Su."
...
After a while, Wang Wu put on brand new clothes and protective gear, looking a bit like a wandering warrior. He nodded with satisfaction.
Then he touched the only three bags of salt left in his waist. He shook his head and sighed, money, ah no, it’s salt that really doesn’t cost money...
Aya, who was beside him, had changed into a tan leather jacket and wore gray carbon fiber protective gear on the joints of her hands and feet.
……
At this time, Wang Wu was standing on an empty mountain road in the dense jungle, repeatedly confirming his position.
"Damn it, who drew this hand-drawn map? You can't tell it's a road!"
Due to the bumps on the road, Aya, who was a little tired, had already fallen asleep on his back.
Looking at the rugged mountain road in front of him, Wang Wu was sure that this was the direction to Mugang.
At this time, Wang Wu's waist was filled with small packages like Batman's belt.
He put the map in his hand back into one of the bags and then looked up.
On the other side of the mountain, someone important seemed to be waiting for him.
At this moment, his eyes showed determination, and without any hesitation, he headed towards Dong'ao Mountain.
Sorry, the update is a bit late today.
I'm a bit busy today. I've been busy since daytime.
The main reason is that I haven't saved the manuscript. I will try my best to write and post it as early as possible tomorrow.
