After the meal, the sky became overcast and the clouds were pushed very low. After a while, a hole appeared in the sky and heavy rain poured down.
The roads in Lao Tan's village are dirt roads, and landslides are prone to occur during heavy rainstorms. We are not allowed to go on the road today.
Before nightfall, everyone discussed how to arrange the duty, and Zhao Yifan actively expressed his intention to go and stand guard first.
There is a weird smell everywhere in this village. So it is better to leave someone on duty overnight, just in case.
The villager Lao Tan who was listed in the household registration book was severely beaten and tortured by everyone again.
But he has been away from home for many years and does not know as much as Hong Xiqiao.
"I only know that this place is related to the Luo family. Luo Ou's brother Rocco controls it. It is one of the Luo family's secret bases. It existed before the end of the world!"
After Hong Xiqiao woke up, his mental condition was not bad. After all, he was a wood-type psychic and his recovery ability was quite strong.
"Xia Tian probably knows more about things here than I do. He is in the field department. I am engaged in mechanized agriculture and I only know my own side of things." Hong Xiqiao pointed to his unconscious companion and told everyone.
"Is it the second-in-command of the base, Luo Dafo?" Big Ear actually knew Luo Ou, and just wanted to confirm, so he asked.
Hong Xiqiao nodded, "That's him! Before the end of the world, I was hired by their company with a high salary to build a mechanized agricultural base. I thought it was to research and cultivate rare or high-quality fruits and vegetables, but it turned out that they were going to plant high-yield genetically modified corn and soybeans."
"I find it strange that the Luo family is engaged in real estate development. They take the valuable land and do not develop it, but use it for agriculture."
This is indeed strange!
After hearing this, everyone thought so. After all, in areas with many mountains and little land, the economic benefits of planting are not good.
Hong Xiqiao continued: "Privately, I asked my classmates who were doing small loans to investigate and found that their company's behavior has been very abnormal recently. They mortgaged a lot of money, purchased countless grains, oils, rice and noodles, and shipped them on trains.
That kind of thing. There are also breeding farms, slaughterhouses, freezers..."
Lin Qingqing's heart moved, she interrupted Hong Xiqiao and asked: "Are you saying they knew the end of the world was coming?"
Hong Xiqiao nodded, with a complicated expression on his face, which sounded like anger and self-blame, "I thought about it this way, but at the time I thought I was overthinking it! Isn't the end of the world a joke?...I
I asked my classmate to investigate, and it turned out that my classmate died in a car accident. Now I even suspect... that I killed him."
"Then you still follow the Luo family? Aren't you committing evil?" Platoon Leader Ye couldn't help but interrupt. If he had known about the end of the world, he would have reported it to the country as soon as possible.
Although Platoon Leader Ye has now left the army, he is still willing to believe in the state machinery.
In the army, even if there are a small number of people who are selfish and vying for power, most of the officers and soldiers will still sacrifice themselves in the face of major issues. This is the duty and honor of the military!
"The Luo family held an event at the end of March. New employees and some old employees can travel abroad for free. They can also bring their families with them, and the company provides all the food, accommodation, and transportation..."
Everyone: "..." This is indeed difficult for ordinary people to refuse.
……………………
After nightfall, there was lightning and thunder, and the rain became heavier and heavier, as if the sky was about to collapse!
Hong Xiqiao and Liu Qiang are still checking the information they already know, and everyone is discussing what to do tomorrow.
You definitely can't stay here for long. If such a big thing happens in the breeding farm, people from the Luo family will definitely come. And they only have such a small amount of manpower, which is not enough to serve others.
Lin Qingqing didn't interrupt. She was holding a scalpel blade in her hand, slowly removing impurities inside and rearranging the metal structure into what she wanted.
The nails she was used to before were almost completely gone, and she needed to re-press the weapons at the bottom of the box.
Among the old surgical equipment obtained from the hospital, there were a lot of blades, and she had refined a small part of them when she had spare time. But to form the big wings she wanted, the number required was far from enough.
The blades are much sharper than nails, and if you combine the blades into wings, it should help you glide. Maybe you can actually fly!
Just as he was working hard, he heard Qiao Mingyang's cold voice: "Lin Qingqing, come out for a moment."
After Qiao Mingyang finished eating, he disappeared for a while and then suddenly appeared again. He frowned and saw Lin Qingqing among the men and greeted her.
Lin Qingqing raised her eyes and saw Qiao Mingyang's face darkened. She thought he wanted to find Qiao Ruoran in a hurry, so she turned her hand and put the blade back into the space.
She stood up and followed Qiao Mingyang to the door.
Just when she was about to speak to Qiao Mingyang, she had to wait until she refined a few blades before setting off to Twin Star Lake. Otherwise, the power of using ordinary blades would be greatly reduced.
As a result, when he arrived at the door, Qiao Mingyang said, "Do you want to stay at my house?"
Lin Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then she quickly shook her head: "No need."
She was a little surprised that he asked like this. If Qiao Ruoran was here, it would be normal to go to his space to rest.
Now, if you are alone and alone, forget it!
"...Don't you want to share the hairtail fish?" Qiao Mingyang lowered his eyes. A girl living with a group of men under the same roof, how could she be so big-hearted?
Hairtail?
Lin Qingqing thought: (⊙o⊙)...I have the fish head here!
But she didn't plan to tell Qiao Mingyang. There must be a crystal core in the hairtail head, and her current body would definitely not be able to withstand the energy inside.
Qiao Mingyang might be able to use it, but with her weak relationship with Qiao Mingyang, it's not worth devoting.
Lin Qingqing's heart was spinning. She hypnotized herself not to take the fish head. She thought that she had been busy for a long time and suffered heavy losses, but she didn't get any benefit from Qiao Mingyang!
Suddenly full of anger!
However, it is abnormal for Qiao Mingyang to give it to her so actively!
He is not Qiao Ruoran! He has a kind heart!
Lin Qingqing didn't know what Qiao Mingyang was trying to do, but she wouldn't be fooled anyway.
She took off the small gourd hanging around her neck and handed it over, "Don't worry hairtail... If you want to compensate for my loss, can you give me some spiritual spring water?"
Qiao Mingyang looked at the small gourd and filled it with spiritual spring water to compensate for her loss?
Just a few barrels of gasoline and a few boxes of nails!
How come you are so good at settling accounts!
Moreover, for Ranran's sake, he kindly invited her to live in his home, but he still didn't appreciate it.
Lin Qingqing's face gradually turned ugly when she saw Qiao Mingyang not picking up the gourd for a long time.
She worked hard to catch hairtail because she wanted Qiao Mingyang's spiritual spring water!
Otherwise she will be full!
How could you possibly use up all your cards and put yourself in danger?
"I used 360 nails, all of which were refined, and I can't get them back now." Lin Qingqing's face was as cold as frost!
She dug the hairtail head based on her skills and had nothing to do with Qiao Mingyang!
Don’t want to compensate her for her losses? Do you want to default on the debt?
Qiao Ruoran was her friend, and Lin Qingqing could not say anything to threaten Qiao Mingyang. To be honest, even without Qiao Mingyang, Lin Qingqing would have rescued her if she knew Qiao Ruoran's whereabouts.
Because she has recognized Qiao Ruoran as a friend.
Lin Qingqing thought a lot at this moment. Although she didn't know why Qiao Mingyang stayed here, it seemed that Qiao Mingyang wanted to go with her to find Qiao Ruoran.
Although her physical strength and abilities have improved a lot, they are not enough to make Qiao Mingyang bother to go with her.
