Chapter 111: The Scared Child
Lu Jiu remembered the prompts from the system. At that time, she was still a little scared, such as a sudden big hailstorm or a flood in this ghost world, but so far it had been quite normal.
"It's just fog, and the visibility isn't too bad. When you go out today, you should pay more attention to your surroundings, and don't ignore the wild monsters that might suddenly appear." Shen Jufeng said calmly.
He ate with a dignified appearance, as though he were savoring a high-end gourmet meal.
Lu Jiu was still chewing on her rice ball, and nodded when she heard what he said, and said vaguely: "Yes, you should pay more attention to this foggy day."
What she was thinking was not how to pay attention to the wild monsters that suddenly attacked.
Anyway, with Shen Jufeng as a live radar, his sensitivity is very high, and he often reminds us of certain crises.
She wanted to take advantage of the foggy weather to go to the top of the giant tree to have a look. Last night, she installed two fifth-level gems on her wings.
Residents who came out early to collect food were still scattered in the fields, and among them were quite a few children. At this age in the Earth age, they would not be sure to still sleep on the bed, waiting for their parents to wake them up to go to school.
This will only collect food here to prepare for the next unknown winter.
Due to the drop in temperature, the soft and rotten fallen leaves were frosted and creaked when stepped on. This was the chill that Lu Jiu would only feel in early winter.
"It's frozen like this in about twenty days." She said while paying attention to her feet. It's better not to step on this kind of frozen and brittle fallen leaves, so as not to attract a large number of wild monsters.
Today they want to fight against a small number of wild monsters in order to become more familiar with the foggy environment.
Zhuang Yun had already taken out his shield, looking around, alert for any crisis that might appear at any moment.
Shen Jufeng also took out his long sword, "That's why we have to go out to collect more furs and sell them to tailors so that ordinary residents can also buy winter clothes."
Zhuang Yun suddenly felt that Mr. Shen is a kind-hearted person who is cold outside and hot inside. Thinking of the ordinary residents in the city who have no relatives and no reason.
As far as Lu Jiu knew, it was to let her focus on clearing the wilderness so that the residents of the city would have a greater chance of surviving through the winter.
She had sent several collection teams to distant places, and also built transmission channels to save time, in order to collect more food, fruits, and vegetables, as well as firewood for heating.
The mining team has added two more, specifically to find combustible coal mines. Although I don't know if there is such a thing in this game world, I have to try.
The three of them proceeded cautiously, and soon encountered three sheep-like wild monsters, which they dealt with one by one. Fortunately, the visibility was about 100 meters today, making it easy for them to spot the wild monsters as they attacked.
Although I encountered several large groups of wild monsters this morning, none of them posed any danger.
Only then did they sigh that it is much more difficult to go out and clear the fields in abnormal weather. Fortunately, they have rich experience.
Lunch will be served in the wild. For safety reasons, it is best to pitch the tent. At least in an emergency, this tent can also withstand the attack of wild monsters and provide enough time to recover and prepare for the battle.
Zhuang Yun was preparing lunch in the tent. The weather was getting colder and colder. Everyone was less willing to eat ready-to-eat food and preferred to eat freshly made hot food.
This morning's battle made Lu Jiu, who was afraid of the cold, sweat. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to her two teammates, "I'll go to the lake over there to wash my face, and I'll be right back."
Zhuang Yun was a little worried, "Why don't we accompany you? It's foggy after all."
Lu Jiu waved her hand, "It's okay, just wash your face, even if I encounter wild monsters, I will put on my wings and fly back first, nothing will happen."
She went this way especially because there was a lake, and she could use it as an excuse to go to the lake so that she could be alone.
Shen Jufeng understood her intention, and said lightly to Zhuang Yun: "It's okay, if I don't come back in five minutes, I'll go look for her."
Zhuang Yun then felt relieved and continued immersing himself in cooking.
Lu Jiu ran outside briskly as if she had been set free, and she could immediately find out whether there was anything on the top of the giant tree.
As she approached the edge of the lake, the breeze stirred up the waves, causing them to advance towards the shore. Water vapor rose from the surface of the lake.
Lu Jiu really wanted to wash her face, so she knelt down, scooped up some clear water, and washed it. The water was very cold, and splashing it onto her face quickly cooled her already hot face, and even brought some cool air into her body.
She just washed it and then shook her hands and got up, saying, "Wow, it's too cold."
It was extremely cold.
After washing her face, she started to get down to business. She didn't know what was going on in other places, but there were giant trees everywhere in Yangshan City.
After she equipped the wings, she lifted herself up. Seeing herself getting farther and farther away from the ground, Lu Jiu felt a little excited. She wasn't very tall, and she even liked flying in the air while wearing wings.
It's as if the childhood dream of flying in the air has come true.
These giant trees were much taller than those at the beginning of the doomsday. She climbed to the highest point and finally entered the canopy, which was wrapped in layers of yellowed autumn leaves.
Upon seeing the situation inside, she widened her eyes in surprise.
In the north, Qiuyu City is just next to Yangshan City. It is also considered a good place with outstanding mountains and lands, and some of them are famous scenic spots in China.
The residents of this city-state are no different from others; they work in the fields or fight hard in the wilderness to slay wild beasts.
The child who was humming and gathering in the field stayed there alone. At this time, many residents returned home for lunch, and a few people used ready-to-eat food for lunch to collect more food.
This child is also in the same situation. There are no professional players in his family, so the whole family has to collect more food from the fields together.
It was foggy today, and he could not see the figures in the other fields a hundred meters away. He just kept his head busy with his own business. After a while, he seemed to hear something.
The child raised his head and looked around, but saw nothing. He felt a little strange in his heart, but he still lowered his head and continued.
After a while, it seemed as if something was flapping in front of the fan. The child then stood up and walked over to the side, asking, "Is someone there?"
No one answered him. To collect more food, he came to this land on the edge of many fields, where fewer people gathered than those who had come to the fields closer to the city-state.
The child scratched his head, thinking that he might have misheard, so he squatted down on the spot to collect.
But at this moment, there was darkness above his head, as if something was blocking the light above him. The child got up and raised his head, squinting to see what it was.
Seeing a black cloud above his head, and this "black cloud" was still moving, the child screamed in shock and ran towards the city-state.
He didn't know what it was - whether it was a black cloud or some large flying wild monster - but he just wanted to get out of there quickly.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the sound of flapping fans seems to be getting closer and closer; it's the same strange sound he had heard before.
He mustered up the courage to look up and found that the dark "black cloud" was getting closer, and this "black cloud" was descending!
"Help! Mom! Dad!" The child cried out in fear, finally shouting for his parents' help.
The sound got closer, and his calves ran faster as if he wanted to unleash his potential. Fortunately, his parents had just bought him a new pair of shoes two days ago, and these shoes were for acceleration.
