I rely on copies to build infrastructure

When he said that, Qin Lu didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately retreated to a blind corner of a building.

He squatted down, covered his head with his hands, and looked out cautiously.

Xi Ren had already fought with the thing in the thick fog.

His speed was astonishingly fast, and he was half hidden in the mist, barely distinguishable with Qin Lu's eyesight.

But looking at the joints piling up on the ground, and the shrill roar that seemed far away, Qin Lu felt that Brother Xiaoren must have the absolute upper hand. After all, this voice is not a sound that a human can make.

He boldly dragged a severed limb to him, studied it, and thought it should be a large insect, or a crustacean of Arthropoda, the kind similar to a crab.

Its outer armor layer is very thick, similar to a light and thin steel plate, but its quality is very light. The fracture is neatly cut by Xi Ren's horizontal knife, revealing the red meat inside.

Wait, red meat!

Qin Lu's heart moved, and he picked some shredded meat from the fracture with a boning knife and inspected it carefully.

It really is red meat!The brick red flesh is wrapped in a translucent omentum, and the color is pure brick red after being peeled off. In terms of color alone, it fully meets the requirements of the nursery rhyme!

But is it that simple?

Qin Lu was a little suspicious.

Their current location should be the five o'clock district of the melting pot square, adjacent to the sixth district where the food street is located, and they can be reached almost as soon as they go out.

The ingredients are selected so close that it is almost not difficult to find them. Is the dungeon really so kind?

But when he thought about it again, he seemed to think there was nothing strange about it.

After all, ingredients such as two-legged snakes come to the door on their own initiative, so it seems to make sense next door?

The real difficulty is not finding ingredients, but how to hunt and kill these mutated creatures.

The reason why he felt relaxed was because the person who did it was Xiao Ren.

Whether it was the three-headed bird, the five-eyed crow, or the current giant worm, except for the time he was looking for wild wheat in the seventh district, he had no chance to face the mutant creature.

If it were him, Qin Lu, every match would be a battle of life and death.

but……

Qin Lu shook his head, and suddenly had a ridiculous idea.

The three-headed bird flying over the city in a clockwise direction, the two-legged snake delivered to the door on time, the five-eyed black crow moving on the top of a high-rise building, and the five-eyed black crow that lays its eggs on the ground... It seems that the founder of Wasteland City has long been for the citizens. Food is ready.

As long as they are willing to go to the ground, go deep into the streets, and work hard to hunt and fight, they can harvest the most delicious meal and replenish the lack of energy.

But unfortunately, the aborigines of Wasteland City completely rejected this kindness. They would rather hide in the dark underground and oppress the "inferior people" who strayed into the city than do it themselves.However, the wasteland city can obtain less and less energy, and the citizens' physique is a little weak, and they dare not leave the dungeon.

It's just a vicious circle.

So the wastelanders pin their hopes on the "inferior people".They held a steam festival to squeeze the labor of "inferior people" and throw the losers into the melting pot. On the one hand, they relieved the pressure on the citizens of the wasteland, and on the other hand, they could exchange a small amount of energy.

Under the high pressure of death, who would really think about and experience the true meaning of the "melting pot"?

It's a really hopeless story.

Qin Xiaolu touched his nose.

The cakes were brought to the mouth, but if the eater refused to bite down, even Wang Laozi would not be able to save that day.

Wasteland City is a desperate world. This despair does not come from the harsh natural environment, but from the wasteland people themselves.For example, Ganas and the gentleman with the top hat, it is impossible for the two of them not to know the truth, but they would rather spend their minds on fighting each other, so what hope is there?

Fortunately, this is just a copy.

Just thinking about it, Xi Ren has ended the battle.

The black-robed boy dragged a bluish-gray monster out of the thick fog, the bright horizontal knife in his hand was still stained with light red blood.

Seeing this scene, Qin Lu hurried up to meet him, looked him up and down first, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay."

"Ah."

Xi Ren nodded and threw the prey in his hand on the ground.

"Can this thing be sold?"

When Qin Lu saw it, he was immediately happy.

No wonder Xi Xiaoren asked this, isn't this just a giant sea crab!

Before they went to Nancheng, he used a vacuum cleaner to catch a hundred and ten catties in the sea, and his appearance was not much different from this one.

"Probably not."

Qin Lu shook his head.

"This is something in the dungeon. I can't take it out except for the module. Dog 8 will not agree."

"Never mind it."

Xi Ren looked calm.

"I have a way."

Qin Lu didn't bother to ask him what he could do. He was busy checking his notebook right now, and wrote the words "Standard Mutant Crab" on the map of the area.

He was surprised to find that the exploration progress bar had suddenly advanced by one-third, and now it was close to 40.00%, which was much more than yesterday's progress.

This kind of progress cannot be achieved by relying on a mutant crab alone. Most likely, he guessed part of the truth about Wasteland City.

"Send things back first."

Xi Ren dragged the huge mutated crab back, walking lightly, without any signs of exertion.

Qin Lu followed quickly, and the two entered the food court one after the other, immediately attracting prying eyes.

"Look, those two brats got..."

Boss Zhang stabbed the tall and thin young man next to him, stuttering and incomplete.

"That's a crab...a crab? Is it a crab? Why are there so many claws? Are they mutated?"

The tall and thin young man watched for a while.

"You said you met these two people in Nancheng before? Are you sure you didn't admit your mistake?"

"No, no, absolutely right!"

Boss Zhang said repeatedly.

"My wife and I were drinking coffee in Hongdu Square that day. These two boys came over hugging each other. I took a special look at them. Didn't you hear me when they came in? They said they were players who cleared the level together."

Hearing what he said, the tall and thin man nodded.

"It's a bit capable, but it's a little tender, and I don't know the situation of this dungeon."

He glanced at Boss Zhang.

"You find an opportunity to strike up a conversation. It's best to get some more stuff out. I'll report it to the master when I go back."

"Okay, okay."

Boss Zhang hurriedly responded, and then asked cautiously.

"Brother Xin, do we want to catch him too..."

"Catch what?"

The young man he called "Brother Xin" glanced at him.

"Do you have that ability?"

"This thing is ferociously tight, and the shell is hard. It can't be processed with a chainsaw if you take it out. Isn't this causing trouble for Master? It's not as safe as Fulu meat."

"Our mission is Fulu meat. The more the better, nothing else is important. It's almost time, and the snakes will come in later. Didn't we just catch one last time, or didn't it grow? No, you have to behave yourself."

"Okay, okay."

Zhang Hongtu didn't dare to fart, so he went down to sharpen his knife in desperation.

This "Brother Xin" looked young, but he was as ruthless as that bald mercenary.

What they call "Fulu Meat" is actually the mutated gland of a male two-legged snake. Master Yun uses this thing to make medicine, which can make people healthy and energetic.

But not every snake has mutated glands. Two-legged snakes appear in groups. Male snakes and female snakes look exactly the same in appearance. They can only be distinguished by cutting open their stomachs after killing them.

The three of them killed all day yesterday, but they only found one, a piece of white meat the size of a fingernail.

"Brother Xin" and the bald mercenary were very dissatisfied with his performance, and threatened to report to Master Yun after returning home.How dare Zhang Hongtu offend the two of them, and he is not sure when his next disaster will come, and he will have to rely on the guidance of the master to get through it.

He glanced at the two boys jealously, with a flash of resentment in his eyes.

Hmph, arrogant.

There is always your disadvantage.

Fortunately, at this time, all the players in the food street went out to find ingredients. Although the mutated crabs were very ostentatious, only the snake-killing trio from Shop No. 7 saw them, and it didn't cause much commotion.

Dirty was the happiest when he saw the big crab coming in.He jumped up from his straw bed, circled the mutated crab three times, and stuttered for a long time.

"I...I'll go get you...you get water..."

Qin Lu took a look at him, and once again confirmed that the dirt was dirty.

But he was not in a hurry, he was going to get rid of the mutated crab first, so as not to attract attention.

"Xiao Ren, this shell has to be opened, there are many things inside that cannot be eaten."

Hearing this, Xi Ren glanced at him.

This was the first time he was asked to work by someone, and the other party didn't think there was anything wrong, and waited expectantly for him to do it.

Xi Ren hesitated for a moment, but still raised the horizontal knife.

He cut a gap in the bottom carapace of the mutated crab, inserted the horizontal knife in, and with a light touch, he easily took off the whole thick carapace, revealing the crab roe that was full inside.

Sure enough, it was yellow, like flowing oil, and smelled fresh.

"awesome!"

Qin Xiaolu gave a thumbs up, not hesitate to praise his little friend.

"The shell of this thing is like a steel plate. Xiaoren, your knife is so sharp that it is as fast as cutting tofu!"

Qin Lu chuckled, then scratched his head.

"Can you borrow it for me? My knife is not very sharp, and I'm afraid I can't read the carapace inside."

Xi Ren: ...

But he still agreed, and adjusted the size and style of the knife to the appearance of Chestnut Island, which is convenient for Qin Lu to use.

With the tools at hand, Qin Xiaolu moved quickly, and quickly picked out the edible meat.

He was about to throw away the useless parts, but was suddenly stopped by Xi Ren.

"Don't move, these are still useful."

what?

Qin Lu raised his head and pointed at the crab assortment like a hill.

"What's the use? These can't be eaten."

"This kind of carapace is ground into powder, which is hard ash."

Seeing that Qin Lu was still in a daze, Xi Ren paused, and reminded with some reluctance.

"It was returned before, Haiguo Hard Ash..."

He pointed to the crab shells on the ground.

"This is barely usable."

Well……

Qin Lu's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly thought of a question that he had held back for a long time, and now he seemed to have finally found an opportunity.

"Xiao Ren..." Qin Lu hesitated for a moment, but still said.

"Do you think... is this really just a dungeon?"
