"So, everyone has no opinion, right?" The sea breeze ruffled Lin Qingqing's hair, but the cold voice reached everyone's ears clearly.
No one thought about attacking her, even the little girl in front of them didn't look powerful enough for them to attack her.
"I... have no opinion, really..." The person soaking in the sea was shivering from the cold and did not dare to get on the rubber boat, so he had to paddle hard with both hands.
"Okay, let's do this for now. After you go back, remember to communicate with other people. Anyone who has objections still has a chance to leave now.
If something goes wrong on the way, don't blame me for being ruthless. The team will disband after arriving in the capital."
After Lin Qingqing said harsh words to them, she didn't wait for their reply and directly took everyone back to her space, including the one soaking in the sea.
It's better to say ugly things first, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with them later.
There is no room for negotiation on this kind of thing, either listen to her or get out.
They are all boss-level figures. They have too many personal ideas and can only use strong methods.
After Lin Qingqing threw everyone back into space, she took out the map she had asked for from the shop owner when she was having dinner at the Malay Second Base.
Immediately afterwards, she took out her mobile phone. After turning it on, she found the map obtained by Li Shenghua and compared it with the paper map.
There was no reference around, so she could only calculate the sea area they were currently in based on the direction of the sun, wind speed and approximate time.
But she didn't know how long she slept on the rubber boat.
Just like when she came.
At that time, she thought she was only sleeping for one night, but when she woke up, she was actually in the Strait of Malacca.
Therefore, she must have slept for more than one day.
At this time, there was a sudden movement on the rubber boat. Lin Qingqing turned around and saw Qiao Mingyang who looked as cold as ice.
Lin Qingqing ignored his dark face and asked him directly: "Do you have any way to know our approximate location now?"
When it came to serious matters, Qiao Mingyang's tense expression softened slightly, and he frowned, "I don't know, I paddled in the northeast direction last night..."
There is a dragon in the far east, so when you return to your country, you should go to the east, right? And to the capital, you should go to the northeast?
Lin Qingqing handed the map to Qiao Mingyang, "The coastline of the Strait of Malacca is very long. If we don't find the right direction, our way home will be even longer."
Qiao Mingyang nodded, took the map and said, "Without a reference, we can only gamble on luck." This was a bit discouraging, but it was true.
Lin Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then handed over her mobile phone, "This is the real-time satellite map from some time ago, and it cannot be transmitted externally."
Qiao Mingyang's character can be trusted to a certain extent, well, that doesn't include when Qiao Ruoran was in trouble.
When Qiao Mingyang saw the scene captured by his mobile phone, he immediately asked, "Can you put your mobile phone here first?"
Lin Qingqing glared at him, and Qiao Mingyang explained, "The picture here is of high definition. If we can find the small islands marked on the map, we can determine the location."
Lin Qingqing hesitated...
She didn't want to go out to row a boat. She had this time to consolidate her powers in space. She could only reluctantly say, "...You have to return it to me immediately after landing. The power is almost out now. Can the power bank be recharged?"
"
Qiao Mingyang had blue veins on his forehead: "..." Who would use the power bank to charge after it becomes a space?
"I will fill you up."
Without a power bank, he can use solar energy to generate electricity, and gasoline is used to generate electricity in the space.
However, Qiao Mingyang always likes to prepare for a rainy day. Even if he robbed PetroChina, the electricity he used to generate electricity from gasoline could only keep the electricity in the freezer and the lighting in the room.
"Okay, I'll go back first!" Lin Qingqing doesn't care what kind of charging he uses. In her opinion, since it is a power bank, it must be able to charge!
The sea breeze was blowing, and the chill seemed to tear open the skin on the face and invade into the bones and blood.
Lin Qingqing felt that nothing would happen here without her, and she didn't want to stay for one more second.
After returning to the space, she appeared directly in her room on the third floor without disturbing anyone.
Various abilities are about to advance, and she still needs to consolidate them first when she has time. Lin Qingqing feels that any external factor is not as reliable as her own strength.
Be it the system or Qiao Mingyang's space, they are not things that really belong to her. She can still use them now, but she doesn't know when she will lose them.
In the space, the atmosphere has become strangely quiet these past few days.
After experiencing another day and night, Qiao Mingyang gave up traveling at night.
After all, he was not a god. After not sleeping for forty-eight hours, his eye sockets were sunken and his eyes were dull.
The speedboat can only seat four people at a time, so Qiao Mingyang took everyone out in turns to be bodyguards. The mixed-race Eagle became the full-time driver of the speedboat.
Others can still rest, he and the Eagle are always online...
In addition to the unfriendly weather at sea, there will also be sharks and various mutated and strange fish.
Their aggression is more terrifying than sharks. Those with lower levels will swarm in groups, and those with higher levels will be huge.
Fortunately, everyone is not a vegetarian. When it is really difficult to fight, Qiao Mingyang can take everyone back to the space and fly a certain distance alone with the power bank space.
After a few days of this.
Lin Qingqing had already rearranged the arrows Qiao Ruoran needed.
With the fourth-level metal superpower, if you want to purify iron, you just need to grind it with water.
But to make the bow she wants to use, she still needs tools.
On this day, Lin Qingqing put the arranged arrows into her quiver and sent them to Qiao Ruoran.
Qiao Ruoran was in the kitchen, squatting on the floor and watching Liu Qiang pickle sauerkraut and pickled radish, and kept stuffing small crispy fish into his mouth.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned around and saw Lin Qingqing, and handed the small bowl in her hand to Lin Qingqing, "Qingqing, come and have something, it's delicious."
Lin Qingqing glanced at the fried fish and knew it was Liu Qiang's craftsmanship. She deeply doubted the taste, "I've been getting angry these past two days, so you can eat it. I've finished the arrows for you, where are you going to put them?"
"So fast? Hey, I'm not in a hurry to use it, but you still listen to my brother's nonsense... He's been too busy these days and hasn't even made a bow for you."
Qiao Ruoran wanted to take the quiver, but Liu Qiang beat him to it, "Your hands are full of oil. Let me do it. Where do you want to put it?"
After Lin Qingqing gave the things to Liu Qiang, she folded her hands in front of her chest and looked at Liu Qiang's attentiveness.
"Let me put it here for you first! I'm not in a hurry to use it." Qiao Ruoran said casually, looked at her greasy paws, and went to wash her hands. She shook the water beads and asked:
"Qingqing, are you free this afternoon? Do you want to dry fish with us?"
People who go out these days also bring fishing nets. They hang the net bags on the back of speedboats. When they return to space, they return with full loads every day.
If you can't finish the seafood, choose good ones and put them in the freezer. Some fish need to be dried, otherwise the freezer won't be able to fit them.
For example, a few days ago, they killed a large second-level mutated fish, which weighed over a thousand kilograms. The texture of the meat was not good, so it would be a pity to lose it, so they scraped off the fish meat and dried it before talking about it.
If we continue to live like this, everyone will be happy and unhappy.
After all, after returning to China, even a bite of rice may be a problem.
"I want to make my own bow, but I don't have the tools." Lin Qingqing said the purpose of this trip.
She knew that Qiao Mingyang had a studio, but if she broke in and used it, Qiao Mingyang would most likely be angry again.
Ever since Qiao Mingyang said that she would share half of the inventory, Lin Qingqing found that she was much more tolerant of him, since he was the sponsor after all.
Before she could take away her half of the supplies, she decided not to offend Qiao Mingyang as much as possible.
"Hey, my brother also said he would shoot bows and arrows for you... He is really tired these days, Qingqing, why don't you wait another two days? You can use my bow first."
Qiao Ruoran mentioned this matter again, and a look of apology appeared on her face. Her brother had been really tired these days, otherwise she would have rushed him.
"No, I just think that the bow I made myself is more suitable for my needs. It's okay. I'll practice some fine iron first, and then I'll find a blacksmith shop when I return to China..." Lin Qingqing said with a smile.
"Ah, can you really build it yourself? Then you can go to my brother's studio. He has a stove and tools! Can I take you there to have a look first? I can help you get started."
Qiao Ruoran immediately became excited. Watching weapons being made was much more interesting than watching Liu Qiang drying fish.
Qiao Ruoran said, holding Lin Qingqing's hand and walking out.
Liu Qiang's face turned even darker. Although there was no evidence, Lin Qingqing was definitely deceiving Xiao Qiao again.
The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, so he couldn't expose Lin Qingqing yet.
After hesitating for a moment, he followed the two women and left the kitchen.
"Will he be angry if we use his studio without his consent?" Lin Qingqing asked Qiao Ruoran hypocritically on the way, and asked for vaccinations by the way.
"He dares?" Qiao Ruoran was used to being domineering in front of her brother, and she felt that Lin Qingqing was one of her own!
It’s just a studio, there’s nothing wrong with it!
"It should have been his business, but now you have taken matters into your own hands. How can he have the nerve to be angry, right, Brother Liu Qiang?"
Liu Qiang nodded numbly, "Yeah." Qingqing's weapons are also important. Alas, Xiao Qiao is so simple. It's really worrying after returning to China!
Everyone entered Qiao Mingyang's studio.
Only then did I realize that the space here was huge, with many operating desks scattered around.
Chemistry, biology, mechanics...
Things are arranged neatly, but Lin Qingqing is still dazzled by it. There are really many things that she can't understand!
"Qingqing, just don't touch the things in my brother's laboratory. Here, the stove is over there. I'll turn on the gas." Qiao Ruoran pointed to the north corner, and then went to the back door to find the gas valve.
"I'll go with you." Liu Qiang gave Lin Qingqing a proud look and followed him.
Lin Qingqing made a face behind him, "A guy of the opposite sex and inhumane."
The stove is two to three meters high and about two meters wide. It is semi-enclosed. When the simple sliding door is opened, the unburned charcoal fire inside is exposed, and there are some iron pieces on the side.
Qiao Mingyang was building something yesterday?
Lin Qingqing frowned, picked up the tongs on the side, took out the iron pieces, and put them aside.
Qiao Ruoran's bow was made of iron, and when Lin Qingqing first had the power, it was very difficult to use it.
Now that she is at the fourth level, she can use it easily. The iron bow body is mixed with some special metals to increase its toughness and can also be used as a melee weapon.
The reason why Lin Qingqing hasn't started refining it in the past two days is because she was thinking about the shape and practicality of the weapon.
She already had an idea in her mind.
The arrowheads are inlaid with five elements of crystal cores, and at least five kinds of detachable arrowheads are made. In addition to installing the crystal cores, she also has to install poison sacs, powerful explosives, etc.
Bows and arrows are not intended to be used as standing weapons, only for sneak attacks and desperate situations.
