After the fog, I became a birdman

"What Brother Chen?" Su Qing snorted coldly, and patted Qi Jiang lightly with his hand, "Don't talk about such useless things to me, next time you talk nonsense, I will really get it."

After finishing speaking, Su Qing thought that he hoped that the base would land on the ground without being able to fly, and stepped on it tentatively.

The rain just stopped today, and the grass is easy to absorb water. When I stepped on it, a small shoe-shaped puddle appeared, and it felt soft like stepping on a carpet.

Because all the trees have been cut down, the weeds on the ground are rapidly expanding under the sun, so the grass here is very lush, not as muddy as the path in the jungle. Seeing that the shoes will not be dirty, Su Qing simply does not waste energy to float. Stepping directly on the soft weed carpet to the base.

Qi Jiang was scanning the crowd below quickly from the sky, but it was a pity that the person had already entered the base through the gate, there were many buildings and dense shelters inside, he couldn't find anyone in the sky, so he could only give up with a frown.

Lowering his head again, Su Qing had already gone far away.

"Susu, wait for me!"

Su Qing in front of him heard his voice, and hummed again in displeasure. Qi Jiang heard it clearly, and understood that it is best to coax him well now, otherwise he won't even be able to enter the room at night.

He landed next to Su Qing flatteringly, stretched out his hand and carefully poked Su Qing's arm, pretending to be pitiful: "Susu, I was wrong, don't dare to talk nonsense next time."

Su Qing rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk to him at all.

Seeing this, Qi Jiang had no choice but to put out his folded wings again, and hugged Su Qing with one side, and scolded himself repeatedly: "Susu, you said that Qi Jiang is a real person, why is he so outspoken? I really don't know at all. Proper, don't you think?"

Su Qing's footsteps paused slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and glanced puzzledly.

"Let's ignore him, let's go back first." Qi Jiang continued his efforts.

The corners of Su Qing's mouth curled up a little, Liu Ye finally had a little smile in his eyes, and followed his words: "I really don't care?"

"Ignore it!" Qi Jiang was categorical.

"Then let go." Su Qing lightly bumped Qi Jiang with his elbow, as if scratching an itch.

"Why should I let go, I'm your wife, not Qi Jiang." Qi Jiang said nonsense in a serious manner, "You should marry and follow your husband."

The curvature of the corner of Su Qing's mouth became a little bigger, but he still couldn't help complaining: "What feudal thinking."

"That's right, I've been with our family Susu for such a long time, why haven't I learned a little bit?" Qi Jiang continued to spurn himself, seeing Su Qing's eyes closed and smiling, he coaxed with a three-pointed seriousness and seven-pointed out of tune People are happy, "From now on, this kid Qi Jiang can only ask Master to teach you well. This disciple must reflect on himself three times a day, and strive to catch up with Master as soon as possible."

"Didn't you say that you are not Qi Jiang? Why did you start to swear on behalf of my good apprentice?" Su Qing teased with a half-smile.

"This..." Qi Jiang rubbed his nose, "It may or may not be true, Master, do you think I am right?"

"My Taoist companion can only be Qi Jiang, do you think you are?" Su Qing threw the question back.

How dare Qi Jiang say no, of course he nodded his head immediately: "Then I must be!"

Su Qing laughed softly, and decided not to argue with him: "Okay, a big man, with a glib tongue, you don't want to lose face."

"Isn't this trying to coax you?" Qi Jiang sighed with a dejected look on purpose, "It's better to lose face than my husband being angry and ignoring me."

"Who made you always open your mouth." Su Qing snorted coldly while laughing, "You deserve it."

Qi Jiang loves him to act coquettishly to please others when he is angry. Hearing him snort like this, his heart softens, and he starts to coax people softly again.

Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of the Hope Base. Su Qing, who was coaxed to lower his eyes and smile on the way, restrained his smile, and touched Qi Jiang with his elbow. There seemed to be hooks in his eyes when he gestured.

"Go and register, and go back quickly."

Qi Jiang was stunned for several seconds, Su Qing saw that he was not moving, and pushed him again: "Go!"

"Oh!" Qi Jiang finally came back to his senses, took two steps forward, turned around and quickly kissed the corner of Su Qing's mouth, "Wait for me!"

Su Qing raised her hand and pressed the place where she was kissed with her fingertips, raised her lips and cursed in a low voice: "It's not serious."

After registering, Qi Jiang turned around and grabbed the hand of Su Qing who was lined up behind him, and the two entered the base together.

Since the rainy season comes, they seldom step on the ground directly, and generally either fly in the air or float on the ground, so that the shoes will not be soiled by the muddy ground.

The grass outside the base was clean, but as soon as they entered the base, they found that all the stone slabs on the main road had been lifted, and the ground was covered with footprints. Seeing the muddy ground, Su Qing couldn't help but stop.

"Why did you lift the slate all of a sudden?" He exhaled to let himself float.

When Qi Jiang came back at noon, the slate hadn't been opened yet, and he didn't pay attention when he went out just now, so naturally he didn't know what was going on.

The two of them floated back to the house from the main road, and heard some discussions from other people on the road. It turned out that all this was because of the mutated plants that appeared underground last night. I hope that the base will remove all the stone slabs in order to eliminate the danger. The awakened earth element checked the entire base.

Originally, this work was supposed to start in the morning, but the appearance of blood-sucking mosquitoes delayed the plan for more than half a day, so the main road was still the same as yesterday in the morning and noon.

But in this way, Su Qing didn't quite understand. When he returned to the house to put things away, he was still asking: "Investigate and investigate, why did you even lift the slate?"

"I don't know, maybe it's to save energy?" Qi Jiang didn't understand why it was unnecessary.

This is the matter of the Hope Base, they just chatted a few words and went to do their own thing.

Qi Jiang was going to continue to get his medicine powder, while Su Qing dug out some ancient books at home to find out what the ancient characters on the scale key were.

During dinner, Qi Jiang told Su Qing what Liu Xingjie came to talk to him today: "What do you think about this matter?"

"What they want more is to know where the base behind us is?" Su Qing can probably guess the purpose of Hope Base, "I don't want them to know where we come from just yet."

Fengcheng is too weak now, and will definitely suffer.

"Left and right, we don't know where the Fengcheng camp is. Just kill the wandering awakened ones." Qi Jiang also tended not to talk about things on the other side of the sea. "I want them to help find the treasure of heaven and earth."

"Huh?" Su Qing's eyes lit up, but she quickly shook her head again, "They're still trapped in this three-acre land."

"But apart from this point, I hope the base is not of much value to us." Qi Jiang shook his head slightly, "I don't want to make any more discounts."

Su Qing also shook his head with a smile: "I hope the base is not Fengcheng, so what's the discount?"

The two continued to chat for a while, and found that the hope base really didn't have anything they wanted, and they couldn't sense the existence of natural enemies suitable for them here, so they didn't really want to sell universe bags and communication jade charms.

One is that Su Qing has no feelings for the Hope Base, so naturally there is no discount. The other is that Qi Jiang is still a businessman at heart. In the past, things could not be sold at Fengcheng because of Su Qing's face. Now he has come out. Of course he doesn't want to do business at a loss anymore.

"Then let's wait until they can come up with enough valuable things." Qi Jiang made up his mind, and told Su Qing about what he saw suspected to be Brother Chen at the gate of the base just now.

"Did you really see it?" Su Qing couldn't believe it, "But why did Brother Chen come to the sea? How did he come here? Could it be that the land bridge was formed at the beginning? It doesn't look like it."

The land bridge was obviously formed by the earthquake in December.

"Maybe I was wrong, but even if the land bridge had not been formed at that time, it would not be impossible for him to come across the ocean. After all, the expansion was not very strong at the beginning. Maybe the sea was not as vast as we imagined."

"It must be a mistake." Su Qing felt that something was wrong. "At the beginning, Brother Chen left the canyon coast to find Sister Fang. Didn't Brother Qian say that Sister Fang's mental state was not in a good state? According to Sister Fang's Obsession, they should return to Fengcheng, how did they come to the other side of the sea?"

"I don't know." Qi Jiang sighed slightly, "But no matter what, I want to see if it's Brother Chen."

Su Qing felt a little blocked: "Yes, we don't have many friends left."

When it came to this topic, the two were silent for a while, and finally Qi Jiang took the lead: "I have a lot of things on my hands, so you can do this. I saw that he seemed to be wearing a torn animal skin at the time. Maybe life is not very good, you can look for it in the outer city."

"Okay, then I'll go and find out tomorrow."

After dinner, Su took a shower and went to bed to sleep.

Qi Jiang didn't go to get his medicine powder, but meditated on the bed and practiced: "Susu, you can look for it in the morning, don't go out in the afternoon, don't slow down your pace because of this uncertain matter."

"Well, I know." Su Qing opened his eyes, moved over and lay down next to Qi Jiang, and closed them again, "You also remember to give yourself some rest time, don't always treat cultivation as a rest."

Qi Jiang showed a smile, hummed lightly, and helped Su Qing tuck in the quilt: "I know, go to sleep."

The moon is very bright tonight, and the bright moonlight shines on the ground. The earth-type awakeners who hope to investigate the mutant plants in the base don't even use lanterns for lighting.

However, they haven't found any hidden mutant plants so far.

But in fact, there are dozens of dormant mutated plants hidden underground in the base. Their concealment ability is superb, and they are scattered in the huge base. they exist.

It started to rain again in the middle of the night, and the awakened earth element, who had found nothing, put the slab back on the ground and went back to report.

The next day, the rain started to increase. The drainage system of the base was very good. There was no water accumulation under such a heavy rain. However, when walking on the road, I could hear the sound of rumbling water in the underground drainage channel. It is conceivable How much rainfall is this.

After Su Qing had breakfast, he took an umbrella to the entrance to put on his shoes: "Brother Jiang, I'm going out."

Qi Jiang from the study came out, heard the sound of rain outside, and frowned slightly: "It's raining too much, doesn't it mean that it won't rain tomorrow? Why don't we look for it tomorrow?"

"In this weather, I don't think everyone will go out to hunt. If I find out, I can come to look for it." Su Qing tied up his shoelaces, picked up the umbrella that was leaning against the wall just now, "I'm going out first."

"Put on the raincoat again." Qi Jiang was a little afraid that he would catch a cold, so he took the raincoat and walked over to help him put it on. "It's raining too much, and the umbrella may not be able to cover it well. It's not good to catch a cold in the rain."

Su Qing actually didn't think it was that serious. With his current ability, he could form a dry protective film around his body. Although it took a little energy, he would definitely not be drenched by the rain.

However, he also enjoys the feeling of being cared by Qi Jiang.

Helping Su Qing put on the raincoat, Qi Jiang felt relieved at last. Seeing that he was wearing cloth shoes, he took a leather shoe cover to help him put them on: "Hand up, only the main road in the base is paved with stone slabs, don't get your shoes dirty."

Su Qing smiled and raised one foot: "I see, male mother."

Qi Jiang paused, smiled and helped him put on the shoe cover carefully: "Okay, male mothers are male mothers, listen to mother's words, and lift the other foot."

He is always more thoughtful than Su Qing in this regard. As long as he is not around Su Qing and cannot take care of him, he often likes to add various insurances to Su Qing so that Su Qing will not get sick.

Even though Su Qing hadn't been sick for a long time, and even Su Qing himself felt that he didn't have to be as careful as before, he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

After putting on the shoe covers, Qi Jiang put on leather gloves for Su Qing: "It's too cold in the rain, and it's easy to catch cold even if it gets wet on your hands."

Su Qing smiled and obediently asked Qi Jiang to help him put on all kinds of equipment. When he was almost done, he saw himself fully armed, and his smile deepened a lot: "Why don't you come out with me, Lest you be worried at home."

"I really want to." Qi Jiang was very helpless, "Isn't this because there are more things at hand?"

After such a long delay, Su Qing didn't want to go out anymore, but Brother Chen's matter still needs to be confirmed.

Seeing that Qi Jiang was still making sure there was nothing wrong, Su Qing heard the sound of wood-type awakened people walking around outside, and suddenly remembered something: "I think they really can't find the mutated plants, should we remind them?" one time?"

Qi Jiang raised his eyes to help Su clean up his hat, feeling a little puzzled in his heart: "The aura of the dormant mutated plants is indeed so weak that it is almost undetectable, but it would be an exaggeration to not find a single one. I remember that after the big earthquake before , They have also cleaned up some mutated plants, and they have dealt with them before, how could they be so insensitive?"

"You mean, they don't want to scare the snakes? They want to investigate thoroughly and catch them all?" Su Qing suddenly realized, "Then it makes sense."

"We haven't dealt with the high-level executives of the base yet. Who knows what they think? This is not Fengcheng, and they may not be willing to listen to us." Qi Jiang's black eyes flashed a gleam, "Now plants It’s still in hibernation, so nothing will happen, let’s wait a few days to see the situation, it’s better not to point fingers at this stage.”

Su Qing's essence was indeed out of good intentions, but Qi Jiang was right, so he naturally gave up the idea of ​​reminding him.

Su Qing, who was fully armed, finally went out. He walked on the road with an umbrella and slowly disappeared into the rain.

The house they rented was in the central city, and they had to pass through many places to get to the outer city. Su Qing also saw many wood-type awakened people walking around the base nervously to check.

It seems that they did not find it. Plants are actually not that smart. If you want to act, there is no need to act so realistically, right?

However, there will be no accidents for the time being, so Su Qing is going to wait a few more days to listen to Qi Jiang.

Because the person that Qi Jiang saw yesterday who suspected to be Brother Chen entered the base from the outside, most likely he was also a member of the hunting group, so Su Qing came to the mission hall in the outer city to ask someone.

There are many different missions in the mission hall, more types than Fengcheng, and the modes are different.

For tasks such as collecting and drawing maps, the reconnaissance team in Fengcheng will do it. The patrol team and those who go out to hunt may just check for omissions and fill in the gaps. Hope the base is divided into very small sub-tasks for the hunting team to do. Do.

Su Qing searched for a while, but didn't find any task of finding people, and he didn't know what kind of rules the task was to be released, so he simply went to the window of the life class and queued up, thinking about not revealing Fengcheng when he wanted to describe Brother Chen exist.

About ten minutes later, Su Qing came to the window and posted a missing person task, with only one line of description.

Chen Mingxing, male, 36 years old, The Force Awakens.

Although the information is rather vague, it is hoped that more than 2000 million people in the base will be screened out, and there should not be too many people who fully meet the conditions.

Su Qing's mission is for the entire Hope Base, and he doesn't care whether it is found by the hunting group or the base's official side. In short, whoever can find Brother Chen can take his reward.

After the task was released, he wandered around the base, one was waiting for news, and the other was to see what good things were in the trading area.

There are all kinds of goods in the trading area, almost everything, including life and battle, and there are many people selling spirit stones and spirit mines.

Here you can use the unified currency, that is, points to buy things, and you can also barter for things. Generally, you can use points for things with low prices, such as food, and you can barter for things with higher value, such as spirit stones. At least they have to pay with animal pills.

This trading area is much more interesting than that in Fengcheng. Su Qing walked around for a while and bought a lot of spiritual mines that he was interested in using animal pills.

Halfway through the trading area, there was a loud shout from inside Midtown: "Where are you running!"

There was some commotion over there, and the voice seemed to be chasing the mutated plants. Su Qing, who was shopping, raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that the people at the hope base were really not pretending when they were checking the mutated plants, but were really doing it before. could not find it.

Thinking of this, Su Qing still felt a little puzzled, and squatted down to continue picking things at the booth: "Boss, why didn't you check the ground when you cleaned up the mutated plants in your base?"

Since he had bought something before, the boss was not impatient, and chatted with him in a good temper: "Actually, we have checked it out. Who knows that plants can run with long legs. I guess they sneaked in at some time. Waiting to attack us."

Su Qing's eyes flickered slightly. From this point of view, the former Hope Base should have dealt with rooted mutated plants. The concealment ability of those plants is generally several grades worse than that of non-rooted ones. If you lack experience, you can't find underground mutated plants. Plants are fine too.

He showed a gentle smile, and echoed, "That's right, mutant plants that can run are more difficult to deal with."

"Oh, isn't it? What kind of legs does a good plant have? It's just like the plant with a long mouth that someone encountered before. It's so annoying." The boss shook his head helplessly.

"The current level of mutated plants is not high, so it should be easy to deal with."

"That's true." The boss couldn't help but smile when he said this, "Except for the tree in the base before, the strength of other mutant plants is quite weak, as long as you don't go to the root and hit them a few times It will give way, and even stepping on the main body will not respond at all, many plants have a better temper, and will not fight us to the death like awakened beasts."

Finding that the boss's vigilance towards mutated plants seems to be a bit off, Su Qing secretly thought that mutated plants' strategy of keeping a low profile is really good, and it really made humans subconsciously underestimate them.

The boss is not bad, so Su Qing reminded me a lot: "Plants are easy to bully now, but they are weak in strength. Who knows what will happen when they become stronger in the future? You should pay more attention when going out in the future."

The boss nodded deeply: "That's right, if you want to survive in this world, you need to pay more attention to everything. Who knows what strange things will appear in the future."

Almost finished chatting, Su Qing picked out something at random, "Boss, how much is it?"

The boss glanced at the spirit mine on the ground with a smile, picked it up and weighed it: "Two first-level beast pills will do."

After paying the money, Su Qing left the trading area, went back to the task hall to inquire about the progress of the task, and went home along the main road when no one came to hand in the task.

There are very few mosquitoes in the base now, and many people will take the initiative to find and kill the mosquitoes when they hear the sound. The blood sacs of the mosquitoes fall to the ground, and the blood flows into the underground drains along the stagnant water, and the faint smell of blood permeates the air. among.

Also because of the stimulation of these bloody smells, the mutated plants in the ground are a little bit ready to move, but anyone who can't help but want to suck blood has been discovered, just like the mutated plant that caused the commotion in Midtown before, it was killed before eating a mouthful of blood. run away.

When Su Qing came out of the mission hall, another mutated plant was found in the outer city.

These mutated plants that don't need to take root are relatively fast, and while they have strong hiding abilities, they also have their own means of escape after being exposed. As long as they are discovered, they will decisively give up the few blood food and leave the Hope Base without stopping to enter the jungle. middle.

When Su Qing returned home, he hoped that three mutated plants had been found in the base. Because they were too mobile, everyone could only chase them away, but they had not been able to cause substantial damage to these plants.

"It's really bad luck!"

"Plants with long legs are too thieves, aren't they?"

"It's too dangerous, and I don't know when it ran in. We need to strengthen our vigilance in the future."

"It feels like the strength of these plants is not strong, it seems that they have only awakened once, how can they run so fast."

"Or why do they have long legs?"

The people outside continued to investigate while complaining, Su Qing closed the door and opened the umbrella to dry, took off his raincoat, hat and gloves and put away.

Qi Jiang in the study heard the voice, and came out with a bowl containing medicinal powder: "You're back?"

"Yeah." Su Qing changed her shoes and walked into the living room, and saw an unused water glass lying upside down on the coffee table, "Has anyone been here before?"

"Well, let's talk about the Qiankun bag and the communication jade talisman. I talked for half an hour, but I disagree with the price." Qi Jiang walked over and put down the medicine bowl, "What about you? How is it?"

"Go to the mission hall and send a mission to find people." Su Qing poured himself a glass of water and drank a few sips to moisten his throat, "Then went to the trading area for a stroll, and the results were mediocre."

"I heard that the outside seems to be driving away the mutated plants?"

"Well, the plant's tactics are still successful. I think other people have underestimated them a little bit. Although they have a sense of vigilance, they are not as vigilant as they are against monsters."

"It's because the plants are relatively weak now, but everyone grew up with blessings again and again. The blessings of the last big earthquake were only for plants. I guess there will be no humans or monsters in the future."

Su Qing thought the same way: "How long do you think plants will hibernate?"

"After the next large-scale blessing." Qi Jiang's eyes flickered slightly. "I hope that the plants that have awakened three times appeared on the base? Now most of the plants are awakened once. If they can't beat them, they will run away. Wait for the next time." If you bless them, they will be able to awaken again, and their strength will be similar to that of monsters and humans, and those blessed plants will only become stronger, and it is time to compete for territory."

Su Qing doesn't care much about how strong the plants at the bottom are. He cares more about the forerunners. Now the strongest plants have awakened at least three times. After the next blessing, the forerunners among the plants will also awaken at least four times.

The strength of the four awakenings is not weaker than humans and monsters.

Generally, the next major earthquake will occur in about half a month to one and a half months. Now that the expansion is over, it is estimated that there will be no global earthquakes in the future, and there should be only blessings.

The last blessing was at the beginning of January, and now a month has passed, counting the time, the next blessing is coming soon.
