Chapter 2 The Miracle
"I'm tired..."
After venting, the sloppy man here and outside gently stroked his forehead, then looked at the trembling woman beside him, and saw that he looked at him with a little fear in his eyes, and there was still a trace of despair in his fear. Now, he was afraid that he would be crazy, right?
It’s true if you think about it carefully. The strange behavior I just did and others didn’t understand the inside story.
So, in this extreme environment, the man felt it was necessary to calm the other party's emotions, so he stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, and smiled and said, "Hello, my beg for Hua Chaozun. I'm sorry to scare you just now, it's okay now."
The woman raised her hand carefully and stared at Hua Chaozun in a daze, only to feel that the name seemed familiar.
But I couldn't remember it for a moment, so I ignored it and reached out and whispered with my weak and hoarse voice, wriggling with my shriveled lips: "Hello, my name is..."
Just as the two were about to shake hands, there was a thud!
The girl named Zhao Yuan couldn't support her. Her exhausted body and the frightened she had just been, she was already tilted to the ground and fell to death without knowing her life or death.
"Girl, girl..."
The sudden change shocked Hua Chaozun. He hurried forward and squatted beside the woman. Then he bent down and helped her up with his hands, allowing him to lie half in his arms, shaking her body.
"Girl, girl, are you okay? You can't die. Who knows how the system will mess with me if you die, girl!"
Just when Hua Chaozun was so nervous that he was at a loss, the rumbling sound of the wind in his ears sounded like a mosquito in his ears. After listening carefully, Zhao Yuan, who was confused, was as angry as a wandering silk, and her wriggling lips only spoke a few words.
"Water...water...water..."
Looking at the girl's wriggling dry lips and thin face, Hua Chaozun knew that he had neglected it. Thinking that this flies could not survive, this girl was afraid that she would meet him. I wonder how much sin he had suffered.
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to delay it. He immediately picked up the girl and entered the house where the container was modified not far away, and placed it on his bed.
But strangely, this house was renovated in an extreme environment with containers. The tables and chairs were in a modern and simple style. The single bed was covered with soft and comfortable mattresses, and the bedding that had been dirty.
Just as the girl was put on the bed by Hua Chaozun, she saw Hua Chaozun grabbing her in the air.
Inexplicably, a bottle of mineral water appeared. The bottle body packaging also had smooth and sweet words printed on it, as if it was a magic trick.
Look carefully at the surroundings of the house, the bottles and jars are all over the floor, either the cans you eat or the mineral water bottles you have drunk. According to the style, these items can only be bought in supermarkets.
Hua Chaozun, who was strange, didn't care about his strange behavior, as if everything was so common for him. He first unscrewed the bottle cap and handed the bottle mouth to the girl's mouth. When the water flowed, Hua Chaozun poured it into the girl's already boring mouth.
The survival instinct of human beings born as animals is activated instantly!
In a semi-coma state, the girl pinched Hua Chaozun with both hands and held the right hand of the water bottle. She was like a cat who smelled the fishy smell, half lying down and biting the mouth of the bottle, swallowing loudly regardless of the reason.
If one bottle is not enough, another bottle is like drinking water, and the whole room is full of gurgling sounds.
Until the third bottle was finished, the girl had completely woken up. At this time, she was half lying on the bed, holding the water bottle with one hand, tilting her head and opening her mouth, and using her greedy lips to welcome the last drop of crystal clearness.
This is really thirsty. If someone says that water is the source of life, then this girl is the best image spokesperson.
"ha…………"
The greedy and satisfying moan sighed from the girl's mouth, and then she breathed several times in a row. She could only say that she had just drunk water too quickly, felt uncomfortable in holding it, and her breathing was a little disordered.
"Are you better?" Hua Chaozun asked with a smile on his side.
The girl looked at Hua Chaozun and wanted to nod her head to agree, but only looked at her condition before she noticed that she was lying on someone else's bed!
The smelly stinking quilt made the girl frown subconsciously, and suddenly she looked alert in her eyes. She immediately got out of bed and stood up.
Zhao Yuan looked at the beard in front of her, her messy long hair, especially her stained clothes, and secretly looked at the strange person in front of her.
However, Hua Chaozun's appearance was not very good at this time. Those who don't know would think it was a homeless man in a corner of the city.
The girl named Zhao Yuan nodded reluctantly and said, "Thank you..."
Hua Chaozun was not stupid because of the message conveyed by the girl's words and deeds. This girl was guarding against herself, but it was right. In this extreme and unwelcome place, there were either Gobi or deserts around her. If it were him, the first thing she thought about was how to protect herself.
However, Hua Chaozun just smiled and didn't care. Then he turned around and came to the corner of the house, and opened a box with his back to the girl.
When the girl was thinking about what Hua Chaozun was going to do, she saw Hua Chaozun shut the box and turned to look at the girl. A cold light flashed by, and Hua Chaozun held a bright Gurkha knife in her hand.
This is a reflex knife. The belly of the knife is wider and the blade is bent forward, like a dog leg. It is also vividly called a dog leg knife. There is a V-shaped groove at the connection between the blade body and the handle, which is used to drain blood in actual combat to avoid tainting the handle, and its lethality is absolutely amazing.
The girl's heart thumped, and she pursed her lips. She was standing beside the bed, carefully sat back on the bed, and then lay down quietly.
Just a moment later, a sniffle!
Accompanied by the sound of metal splitting, the girl was surprised to find that Hua Chaozun did not intend to do anything to her. Instead, she sat on a chair and cut the seal of the canned food on the table in the house. After the cutting, she said to the girl: "I only have canned beef here, so eat it quickly, otherwise you don't have enough nutrition, and your body will not be able to support it."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan quietly let out a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and then got up carefully to get out of bed.
Then he walked to the table and sat down. Zhao Yuan, who had originally planned to be reserved, finally failed to resist the temptation of food and began to chew unscrupulously.
Even the chopsticks made of camel-thorn dead branches were useless, and they were not very good at all.
However, Hua Chaozun also sighed. He could not say anything more. In this place where birds do not shit, it would be a miracle to be able to live. As for the others, I will talk about them later.
Seeing that the first canned food was about to be eaten by the girl, Hua Chaozun got up and left the seat, and once again came to the box in the corner of the wall.
He pretended to open the wooden box. If someone could look from Hua Chaozun's gaze, the corner of the wall would obviously be empty!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Hua Chaozun thought to himself: "Forget it, it's better not to know the secrets of the system. The girl was too anxious to drink water just now and didn't pay attention. She couldn't take out the items from the system backpack in front of her again and again."
At the same time, when Hua Chaozun focused his attention on the system, he was surprised to find two lines of prompts.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the novice task and obtaining the first territorial citizen. The residential function is unlocked. Please check it yourself.]
[It was detected that the environment in the host's area was too extreme and the original rules could not be adapted to. The game rules began to update themselves, and the current update status was 15%... Please wait patiently, and the revised content will be started later!]
Hua Chaozun didn't care about the update, and his attention was immediately attracted to the newly unlocked residential function.
Hua Chaozun immediately operated through consciousness and clicked on the newly appeared residential interface.
I saw a building like a shack appeared in front of him, and there were operation instructions: just drag it to the open space you want to specify through consciousness and use it.
Seeing the hunting heart, he felt a little itchy for a moment. He appeared in this desert for no reason. At that time, he found that he had turned to another self. Combined with the memory of this predecessor, he understood a fact that he had traveled through time.
To this day, he uses stones to draw a stroke on the exterior wall of the container every day to record the number of days and calculate the time...
He has been trapped in an area of 500 meters centered on the container house for a whole year!
At the beginning, Hua Chaozun planned to escape. After all, she had a system in her body, and the system backpack had enough supplies for him to eat and drink for two years. So, to be a fucking lord, it’s important to go back to the modern civilized society first!
But he underestimated the shamelessness of the system. When he reached the boundary of 500 meters, he could no longer walk out, as if there was a stealth wall around five hundred meters.
A novice task alone, in other words, the system officially launches the task, will cause him to be stuck for a whole year. Not to mention the despair during the year, where can he find the so-called citizens?
In this world, he was almost crazy about eating and drinking. He understood how uncomfortable it would be if he was really stuck at home and couldn't get out if he was really stuck at home and couldn't get out.
Therefore, in order to pass the boring time, Hua Chaozun, who was already eager to see, thought of a solution. As long as he could meet a living creature, he would unilaterally announce that the living creature was his own citizen, and he would be willing to try anything that could fool the system.
So he couldn't count on Hua Chaozun, who was catching rabbits and sparrows, and he hit the insects. Unfortunately, he couldn't find a bug within a radius of 500 meters.
So I thought of pouring it on the ground with canned food and attracting some flies.
What a pity that the soft beef in the canned food has turned into jerky meat, but I didn’t see a fly. Where did he find the first citizen?!
If it weren't for the container lord's house that the system initially gave, he would probably not even be able to find a place to settle down.
Fortunately, the sky pays off and finally lets him wait!
The moment he saw Zhao Yuan, he thanked humans from the bottom of his heart for their enthusiasm to take risks!
After recalling the Hua Chaozun you encountered, he immediately came to his senses. Looking at the virtual interface in front of him, Hua Chaozun planned to try the effect.
So Hua Chaozun, who made up her mind, first took out two canned beef from the system backpack, pretended to take it out of the box, got up and came to the table, put it in front of the girl, and said, "You can open the can with your knife later, and I'll go out for a while."
The girl chewed the food without responding, just nodded.
Hua Chaozun hurriedly left the room, ran to the outdoors, and found an open space, thinking of trying the magic of this system.
After a while, with Hua Chaozun's operation, he dragged the virtual image of the residence through his consciousness and put it on the open space in front of him.
A magical thing happened, as if it were a pair of invisible big hands, splashing ink, using their wonderful painting skills, and casting them in various colors in this world. A shack built with animal skin wrapped in wood was formed little by little.
This animal skin shack is like an invisible and huge 3D printer, accumulated little by little from the closest to the ground, and drawn out little by little.
Hua Chaozun was extremely happy. He remembered the system response when he had just completed the task and said something about the great cause of the emperor. In the future... does it mean that he will have three palaces and six courtyards... Seventy-two concubines...
Thinking of this, Hua Chaozun shook his head and laughed at himself: "Ah... Actually, I don't care about power, status and money. The key is that I love the profession of the emperor from the bottom of my heart!"
After some inexplicable self-satisfaction, Hua Chaozun went into the shack to observe carefully. The entire shack was triangular, wrapped in animal skin on the outside, two meters high, and the space inside was about ten square meters. There were seats and beds woven with vines. The bed was covered with furry animal skins, which were different from the yurts in people's impression, and it was a bit like an Indian tent.
And his vision also shows the information about this animal skin shack: Level 1 primary residence, the settlement of the scavengers.
"Level 1 or primary level, is there any intermediate level and advanced level? Having level 1 means level 2, which means that the residence can be continuously upgraded!"
Thinking of this introduction to the Hua Chaozun’s instinctive search system about residences, it’s a pity that apart from the words “the settlement of the scavengers”, no other relevant information can be found.
However, I also discovered that the conditions for promotion are: Level 1 primary residential property, and the next level requires 100 residents to unlock the update.
"I'll ask who is looking for these hundred people..." Hua Chaozun was speechless and rolled his eyes when he saw this message.
After shook his head helplessly, Hua Chaozun was not nostalgic. Now he can only take one step at a time.
So he left some water and cans that were enough for several days to eat, then he got out of the shack and ran to the container room not far away, intending to tell the girl that her accommodation problem was solved tonight.
But when he got outside the house, Hua Chaozun could not enter. The door seemed to be locked. Hua Chaozun wondered and knocked on the door several times, but there was still no movement inside.
Just as he was about to shout, a creaking sound was made, and the door of the house was opened, and the girl lowered her head and looked down with her right hand on her back.
He spoke slowly, "I just climbed over the box in the corner of the wall, and there was nothing inside..."
"What?"
The girl sighed, and her right hand, which was behind her, naturally fell down, with a hint of hoarseness, and she said coldly like a low-mouthed beast: "For the last time, where are the food and water?"
In her right hand that had just fallen, she was holding a fang that could tear the flesh and blood tightly, and was shining with a condensation that could cut her throat.
That is the Gurkha knife that Hua Chaozun uses to open cans but can easily cause death!
Chapter completed!
