Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

Chapter 106 Oh my god, Bone Spirit Cold Fire? !

When she was staying in the villa before, Shen Qiyin had considered whether it was possible to build a greenhouse for planting to provide a long-term food supply.

But because she and Tang Miao were weak at the time and did not have much desire stone as a foundation, and the greenhouses and vegetable fields were easily targeted by strange beasts wandering in the fog at night, she had to give up.

Now the team has grown a little bit. Tang Miao and Lin Qiutang both have qualifications, and Xiaoxiang is even a super powerful beast killer, so Shen Qiyin began to consider establishing a stable source of food.

However, before thinking about this, Shen Qiyin had a more urgent problem, which was how to solve the current food crisis.

Neither she nor Tang Miao had any food. The only food they had was the few high-energy protein bars that Lin Qiutang had carried with her before leaving the train.

This stuff is only enough for them to last for a day at most. Even if Shen Qinyin wants to get food by farming, it will take a long time.

After thinking so much, we still have to solve the problem at hand...

I don’t know if Tang Miao, who was searching the house, could use her good luck to find food for them to last for the next two days.

Shen Qiyin sighed and looked towards the mountain where the sun was gradually setting.

Suddenly, a slight noise came from the gate of the homestay not far from her.

Shen Qinyin's expression suddenly changed, and her perception network quickly extended out, and sure enough, she captured two moving life forms at the gate of the courtyard!

"Who's there?!"

She let out a shout and at the same time used her telekinesis to grab the two living beings high up!

"Ah!"

"Wow!"

Two screams were heard from a man and a woman at the same time. Shen Qiyin grabbed them out of thin air and brought them to her.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Facing Shen Qiyin's interrogation, the man was the first to ask back: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man's Mandarin was mixed with a strong regional dialect. If Shen Qiyin hadn't listened carefully, she really wouldn't have understood what he was saying.

"What happened?!"

The movement from Shen Qinyin's side attracted the attention of Lin Qiutang and Tang Miao who were exploring inside the building. Lin Qiutang floated down from the third-floor window and landed in front of them.

Seeing Shen Qiyin using her telekinesis to grab two strangers, she couldn't help but show a look of doubt: "There are actually people here? Living people? Could they be some kind of entity?"

"We are not entities or those monsters! My father and I are human!"

The girl who was caught in the air by telekinesis screamed, her voice full of fear.

Only then did Shen Qiyin notice that the woman she had captured was just a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old.

After a little thought, she slowly withdrew her telekinesis and let the two of them down.

The man was a middle-aged man, probably in his forties. He was holding a hunting rifle, had an unshaven beard, and his hair was messy like a bird's nest. But apart from his dirty clothes, there was no strange smell on his body.

The little girl was cleaner, with no dust on her cheeks. She was chubby and looked quite healthy. She was carrying a short compound bow and several homemade iron arrows on her back.

After introducing himself, Shen Qiyin learned that the man's name was Chen Guanglin, a retired veteran from another place. His wife died two years ago, and when the doomsday came, he fled to this place with his daughter Chen Xiao.

He is not simple. Although he looks honest and simple, he actually has the same qualifications as Lin Qiutang and others.

But this is not surprising. After all, he is alone with a daughter. If he didn't have some ability, he would not have survived until now.

In the lobby of the B&B, Tang Miao closed the door and made sure that no fog would seep in. Then he returned to Shen Qinyin holding a candle.

At this moment, several people were sitting in the middle of the hall, exchanging information they knew with each other.

After listening to Chen Guanglin's story, Lin Qiutang asked, "So, you took the initiative to escape from Huaibei Province?"

"Yes," Chen Guanglin sighed, looking somewhat guilty, "Logically speaking, veterans like us, facing national crisis, should go to the front lines to serve our country. But as you can see, my daughter is still so young. When her mother passed away, she told me to take good care of her.

It was difficult for me to go home during those years I was in the army, and I owe her and her mother a lot, but this is the only wish that we must obey no matter what..."

Shen Qiyin silently looked at Chen Guanglin's expression when he said this, and at the same time glanced at Xiaoxiang. Seeing that the latter did not show any different expression, it proved that this man should not be lying.

This little girl seems to be very close to Chen Guanglin. Most importantly, they do look somewhat similar, so it seems that their father-daughter identity is not fake.

At the end of the world, some evil people will deliberately use little girls to gain sympathy so that outsiders will let down their guard. Shen Qinyin and the others are all girls, so it's always better to be cautious.

Although the combat power of these girls is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and they also have a tactical humanoid that can be said to be a dimensionality reduction attack on carbon-based creatures...

"The situation in Huaibei Province is very tense right now. The black tide in Jinchuan City has spread to the front lines and will definitely come into contact with the frontline troops in the next two days."

Lin Qiutang held her cheek and said worriedly, "I hope they are safe..."

"Brother Chen." After a moment of silence, Shen Qiyin asked, "It must be very difficult for you to raise your daughter alone, right?"

"Oh, I'm used to it. My little girl is easy to take care of. I don't need to worry too much about her."

As soon as he talked about his daughter, Chen Guanglin immediately smiled.

"Can you tell me how you avoided those strange beasts? Logically, at this time, even those with high qualifications should avoid going out, not to mention that you have your daughter with you."

"Huh? Don't you know?"

Chen Guanglin looked puzzled and placed a flashlight on his waist between the people.

He unscrewed it, and the white "flame" immediately burned, illuminating half of the B&B's hall.

Shen Qiyin's expression froze, and she couldn't help but exclaimed subconsciously: "Bone Spirit Cold Fire?!"

"What cold fire?" Chen Guanglin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is not fire, this is light."

Shen Qiyin took a closer look and realized that the flame she saw was not real fire, but light emitted by a small stone.

These strands of light seemed to be distorted by some invisible force, twisting irregularly, so they looked like white flames.

"This is a special ore carried by the central forces dispatched by the country. Officially named White Flame Type 1, it's similar to solid fuel and can be ignited by fire, but it has no temperature itself."

"Then, its greatest function is to avoid the fog and the invasion of the black tide."

Chapter 107: The "Stone" to Avoid the Mist and Black Tide!

"What did you say? This thing can be used to avoid fog and black tides?"

Before Shen Qiyin could be surprised, Lin Qiutang was the first to show an incredible look.

"You're not in Huaibei Province, so your intelligence is blocked, so it's understandable that you didn't know about it," Chen Guanglin explained. "This thing was only developed a week ago. We originally planned to ship it to Jinchuan City to resolve the Kuroshio crisis, but the provincial military district in Jinchuan City has already fallen.

The central government had no choice but to establish the first line of defense in Huaibei Province to resist the spread of the Kuroshio Tide, so the batch of White Flame 1 missiles destined for Jinchuan City were rerouted to Huaibei Province overnight.

"I didn't even know this thing existed..." Lin Qiutang smacked her lips, sadness flowing in her eyes, "If we had this thing, Minister Chu and the others would definitely not have sacrificed themselves..."

Chen Guanglin sighed and said, "Alas, this thing is not as good as you think. It is effective in resisting the fog, but it is a bit difficult to resist the black tide.

According to their explanation, the light principle of the White Flame I is similar to a cognitive invisibility cloak. When it is ignited, the special white light released will make the black tide and fog seem blind, making it impossible to identify whether the area covered by the light exists.

This is like suddenly mixing a powerful jammer into the sense of smell of wild animals. Not only can they not see us, they don't even realize that there are any targets here that need to be attacked, so they will actively avoid us.

The reason why I said that fighting against the Kuroshio is a bit difficult is because the Kuroshio itself has a certain phototaxis. You should have seen that the torches thrown out will be avoided by the Kuroshio, but will be swallowed up quickly, right?

Of course, it is true that the White Flame I can delay the Black Tide for a longer time. This small piece of light in my lamp can probably last in the Black Tide for half an hour.

However, please note that the Black Tide's cognitive pollution cannot be eliminated by the White Flame I. So if we were truly submerged by the Black Tide, even if we had this thing, we would still go crazy. You all must know how terrifying the Black Tide's cognitive pollution is."

Shen Qiyin was already surprised when she heard "hold on for half an hour", because this meant that when dealing with the Black Tide, the White Flame I had an effect that was no less than that of a 50-stone evil-repelling jade pendant.

But Chen Guanglin's next words poured cold water on her again. If she couldn't resist cognitive pollution, then even if she had this thing, she wouldn't be able to move normally under the cover of the black tide.

Well, you can't think like that. The fact that it can avoid fog and black tide is powerful enough.

If this thing could have been developed earlier, perhaps Jinchuan City would not have fallen so quickly.

The fall of Jinchuan City led to the fall of the entire province, and that was all human lives...

Tang Miao, who had been silent the whole time, asked, "So, this thing must be very valuable, right? Can we get it?"

"Ordinary people definitely can't get it. This is a war reserve resource no less valuable than uranium. Only soldiers on the front lines and qualified personnel can distribute it on demand."

"Since you've left the Huaibei Provincial Military Region, how did you manage to obtain the White Flame I?"

"Of course, this isn't free," Chen Guanglin shrugged. "Although the military district doesn't require us civilians to go to the front lines to fight the Black Tide, it doesn't mean there aren't commissions. We can help with some tasks, such as searching and rescuing survivors, assisting military personnel in protecting transport teams, and collecting resources needed by the military.

After completing these commissions, the military will pay you. You can choose food supplies, or you can choose to do as I did and ask for a few pieces of White Flame."

Hearing this, Shen Qinyin couldn't help but look at Lin Qiutang beside her. The latter's expression seemed a little complicated and guilty.

She had followed the convoy to Huaibei Province. As a regular employee, she must have received official orders or missions to stay behind, but she still returned to Yunlan City...

Shen Qiyin didn't intend to delve into these things. Sometimes you have to make a choice on a certain issue. An unbalanced scale can only have one result. Once you put the weight on one side, you have to endure the pain of being burned by the weight.

If it were her, she would probably make the same choice as Lin Qiutang.

The most important thing right now is to figure out Bai Yan's potential.

Shen Qiyin thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Chen, do you have any more White Flame?"

The moment he was asked this question, a hint of alertness immediately appeared in Chen Guanglin's eyes: "What's the matter?"

To him, Shen Qiyin and Lin Qiutang are both truly qualified people, but it's hard to say about the other two. If the other party tries to snatch them by force, he will definitely be the one to suffer once a fight breaks out.

He took out the White Flame I because he saw that these girls were very friendly. If he really made a mistake, he would be in a desperate situation.

"Don't get me wrong," Shen Qiyin sensed the other party's concern and quickly explained, "We know nothing about the White Flame I, so we want to study its specific effects. If you have any extra, we can exchange them with you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Miao, who was beside Shen Qinyin, felt a little guilty.

Exchange? But we are all poor now, what else can we take out to exchange with others?

"What do you plan to exchange? Let me make it clear first, I don't need food or weapons."

Chen Guanglin obviously had the same idea. These girls looked like ladies from wealthy families, but these days, money was just a piece of waste paper. You couldn't exchange them for money, right?

But you can't think like that. After all, there are at least two qualified people in their team, and they might have the items that you urgently need.

"Please wait a moment."

Shen Qiyin slowly floated into a room at the back of the hall. Her actions made Chen Guanglin a little nervous, and his finger unconsciously touched the trigger of the shotgun.

Seeing this, Lin Qiutang could only smile awkwardly and comforted: "Don't worry, we really don't mean any harm..."

Ten seconds later, Shen Qinyin floated out of the room again, holding two small glass bottles of black water in her hands.

Although the packaging had changed, Lin Qiutang recognized it at a glance as the Black Queen Potion that the other party had given her.

"Do you know the Doomsday Sect?" Shen Qiyin asked.

"I know." Chen Guanglin's expression immediately fell, and he nodded. "They are all crazy cult lunatics."

"We killed a bunch of doomsday lunatics on the way here and got this potion from them," Shen Qiyin said casually, "This stuff is very effective in healing external injuries. As long as it's not a fatal injury, pour some on the wound according to its size, and it will be completely healed in less than a minute."

"Really?" Chen Guanglin seemed a little skeptical. "I've heard that the Doomsday Cult has a lot of weird stuff, but who knows if you'll try to trick me with some random stuff?"

"I can demonstrate it myself."

As Shen Qinyin spoke, she cut open her palm with a knife, and bright red blood immediately flowed out from her fair palm.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiutang and Tang Miao showed expressions of surprise and annoyance almost at the same time. Shen Qinyin's movements were too fast and neither of them had time to react.

Afterwards, Shen Qinyin poured about a bottle capful of medicine on the wound. Just as she said, the flesh and blood near the wound began to move rapidly. In just ten seconds, the knife wound recovered as before.

Chapter 108 Fresh Fruit! Can You Really Farm?

The side effect of the Black Queen Potion is a slight reduction in sanity, but Shen Qinyin used a very small amount, and her current mental strength is far stronger than that of ordinary people, so this side effect is almost negligible.

"How about it?"

Shen Qiyin placed the Black Queen Potion on the floor and smiled gently, "I'll use these two bottles of potion to exchange for two White Flames from you. Is that okay with you?"

When Chen Guanglin heard this, he was stunned.

It is no exaggeration to say that this healing potion is so effective that one bottle is enough to save several lives. This small bottle alone can easily be exchanged for five White Flame pieces. This girl is actually willing to exchange two bottles for only two pieces?

If someone else came, they might laugh at Shen Qiyin for being stupid, but Chen Guanglin knew that this girl was planning to use these two bottles of potion to "bribe" him and achieve long-term cooperation.

Chen Guanglin has two special abilities, one is physical enhancement, and the other is detection similar to Xu Xiaogang's.

Perhaps because he has more abilities than those with ordinary qualifications, his physical enhancement is not as good as Chu Tieshan's, and his detection ability is not as good as Xu Xiaogang's.

However, for an experienced veteran like him, as long as he doesn't encounter strange beasts of the level of the two-headed falcon, black tides, or other unknown entities, these two abilities are enough for him to survive in the wild environment.

Through her observation of Chen Guanglin, Shen Qiyin was certain that he definitely had a lot of information that they were not aware of, especially information about the environment around Huanglin City and information related to Huaibei Province.

In addition, Chen Guanglin also specifically emphasized that he did not want to exchange items such as food and weapons, which at least proved that he had a long-term and stable source of food.
