Reborn in the wasteland, picked up a soldier king

Lin Xiyao: "..."

Is this a book from sixty years ago?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiyao bent down and picked up the book on the ground.

Publication date——2024.

Wow!

I never thought that I would actually see something from more than 60 years ago.

"Can you...can you return the book to me?"

The little boy next to him sobbed softly and mustered up the courage to look at Lin Xiyao.

"Okay, but you have to tell me where this book came from."

Lin Xiyao raised the book in her hand.

The little boy hesitated for a few seconds and said, "This is a book collected by my great-grandmother."

It turns out that when the end of the world came, some people fled with large amounts of cash, some with gold, silver and jewelry, and some chose to escape with books.

Sixty years later, cash is like waste paper, and gold, silver and jewelry can no longer fill the stomach.

Only books...

knowledge is power.

As the civilization era collapsed, the books that were once looked down upon became the most precious things in the world and the heritage of culture.

The little boy's family also became one of the rich people in the safe zone because of their amazing collection of books.

The reason why he appeared in the forest was to confirm whether the mushrooms recorded in the book existed.

"Give."

After understanding everything, Lin Xiyao threw the encyclopedia to the little boy and turned to pick mushrooms.

It's a little rotten, but still edible.

"Will you take me with you?"

"I'm lost."

At this time, the little boy walked towards Lin Xiyao tremblingly.

"Aren't you afraid that I will sell you out? Or kill you?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiyao turned around pretending to be fierce.

The little boy hugged the book tightly, and shook his head palely: "I'm not afraid."

"Okay, keep up."

"I won't wait for you."

"Also, what you saw today must be kept secret. You can't tell anyone, otherwise..."

"I know."

Soon, two figures, one big and one small, walked out of the forest.

……

At the same time, the headquarters of the Star Mercenary Group received a distress message from a location near the vineyard.

"Boss..."

General Fang Wu forwarded the stolen information to Chu Mingxuan.

"Near the vineyard?"

"Did something happen to Yaoyao?"

Chu Mingxuan tapped the handle of his wheelchair, thinking solemnly.

"Fang Wu, send a message to Lao Zhou and ask him to take someone to take a look."

"Yes."

……

An hour later, Lin Xiyao returned to the gathering place.

The little boy behind her left after exiting the forest.

After returning home, Lin Xiyao rushed into the cubicle immediately.

Chu Mingxuan: "..."

No need to check.

"Fang Wu, let Lao Zhou withdraw."

Chu Mingxuan gave the instructions calmly.

"Yes."

"Boss, it's not good."

"Old Zhou just sent a message that Madam Wu Min took people to the forest."

Chu Mingxuan's expression froze.

Then, Fang Wu reported again: "Boss, Mrs. Wu Min found the body of the squirrel beast in the forest..."

"understood."

Chu Mingxuan waved his hand, his eyes were deep, with a hint of murderous intent hidden in them.

Mrs. Wu Min acted quite quickly.

Now that Squirrelmon's body has been found, she must be furious.

Xia Yuhan and Chen Jiahao were the ones who had seen Lin Xiyao. Next, she would definitely search the shantytown door to door...

It seems that he has to speed up.

……

Soon, Lin Xiyao walked out of the cubicle with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

What was Chu Mingxuan thinking about? He was so absorbed in it.

"Chu Mingxuan."

"Yao Yao."

Hearing the voice, Chu Mingxuan immediately came back to his senses and asked with a doting smile: "How did you harvest today?"

"not bad."

Having said that, Lin Xiyao curled her lips, ran out of the shack, and brought in three fully filled backpacks.

The backpack is full of grapes.

"It was too late. I packed all the grapes back."

"Chu Mingxuan, please pick one."

When Chu Mingxuan heard Lin Xiyao's words, his face turned green instantly.

There are at least hundreds of kilograms of grapes here!

Test one by one?

Facing Lin Xiyao's clear eyes, Chu Mingxuan could only smile dryly as he picked a grape and checked his watch.

It's really highly toxic.

This little girl can really find work for him.

Seeing Chu Mingxuan start working, Lin Xiyao was not idle either. She went out and brought in another basket of mushrooms.

"We're having mushroom soup tonight."

"Yaoyao, how did you carry so many things back?"

Chu Mingxuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lin Xiyao paused and said vaguely: "I am very strong."

Chu Mingxuan: "..."

When his brain was eaten by a dog?

No matter how strong she was, she couldn't carry four backpacks that were bigger than her at the same time.

Forget it.

She didn't want to talk, and he didn't force her.

Seeing that Lin Xiyao was not in good spirits, Chu Mingxuan felt a little reluctant: "I'll do it, you go and rest for a while."

"it is good."

Lin Xiyao naturally did not refuse. She sat next to the haystack and happily counted her gold coins.

In a few days, she had obtained a total of 130 gold coins, plus the raw stones she collected today...

Ok.

She can buy a small house of 15 square meters in the Mercenary Union.

Come on, come on.

Chu Mingxuan first cleaned the mushrooms, then set up a big pot and lit a fire to cook mushroom soup.

"Yaoyao, why do you want to buy a house in the safe zone?"

When the water boils, add the mushrooms.

After a while, the unique aroma of mushrooms filled the room. Chu Mingxuan asked curiously while busying himself.

Lin Xiyao was reluctant to eat, wear, or even use unpolluted water, and was only thinking about saving gold coins to buy a house, which made him very curious.

Hearing this, Lin Xiyao took the gold coins, put her hands on her chin, and fell into deep thought.

The original person wanted to buy a house in the safe zone, not to enjoy himself, but to find his brother there.

Scavengers cannot enter the high-end security zone unless they have a house.

"Three years ago, my brother disappeared."

Three years ago was a special period. At that time, young people who went out of the gathering area to scavenge often disappeared.

There are rumors that there are zombies in the forest, and those missing young people were bitten by zombies and became infected, so they naturally dare not return to the gathering place.

There are also rumors that they were captured by researchers in the safe zone.

After several years of investigation, the original body is more inclined to the latter rumor.

That's why she has always wanted to buy a house.

Hearing this, a glimmer flashed in Chu Mingxuan's eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Yaoyao, it's time to eat."

Today's mushroom soup does not have any nutrient solution added, and it exudes the most original aroma of the food.

Lin Xiyao ate three big bowls of food like a greedy cat.

……

Mercenary Guild.

In the second half of the night, a cold wind blew against the window, making a series of noises.

Chen Jiahao woke up from his dream and turned over subconsciously, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his feet.

"what……"

"Depend on."

"Aunt Zhang, give me some painkillers."

Chen Jiahao was shouting in the house, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

He was abandoned.

His own elder brother didn't even dare to fart and just left him in the room and found a nanny to take care of him.

Why is life so frustrating these days!

"boom."

Just then, the door suddenly opened.

"You old fool, I asked you to get some medicine, why are you wasting time?"

"Believe it or not, I will replace you tomorrow..."

Chen Jiahao cursed loudly, looked towards the door fiercely, and his eyes suddenly widened.

The man was dressed in black, carrying a long sword on his back, and his pair of red eyes flashed a strange red light in the dark night.

"Red Shadow... Leng Yi."
