Night fell completely. The ninety people divided into ten bonfires and began to prepare dinner. Du Yunfeng placed more than ten people around to guard and guard, one shift in the first half of the night and one shift in the second half of the night to ensure safety at night.
Du Yunfeng's team has some stainless steel bowls with a diameter of 20 centimeters, which are usually used to boil noodles and can now be used to boil water. Zhang Mu's team was assigned to a steel bowl. They filled the bowl with water and placed it on the crackling fire. Soon, the water boiled. The sound of boiling water sounded in the bowl. A few people took knives and cut up the large pieces of meat. They put them in the water and boiled them. They sprinkled some salt on them. The alluring fragrance of meat spread out, which aroused their appetite.
Eating half-cooked barbecue every day, there was finally a change. All the animals in the forest were pure and uncontaminated. Although the meat was cooked with only salt, the meat was superior and the broth tasted delicious. On a cold night, drinking a few mouthfuls of hot broth was still very pleasant.
Zhang Mu wanted to put an egg in, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to. The ingredients evaluated by the system would not have any effect when mixed with ordinary ingredients.
"Captain, I think this team is really good." Sun Bing stirred the broth with a bamboo stick and said contentedly," Du Yunfeng is very forthright. Everyone gets along quite well. Haha…The boiled meat is ready. Everyone, eat quickly."
Fatty impatiently picked up his chopsticks and took out a piece of meat from the steel bowl. He stuffed it into his mouth regardless of the heat and chewed. He mumbled," Not bad, not bad. The meat is not bad."
Zhang Mu calmly said: "There are many things in this world that cannot be seen on the surface."
Sun Bing was confused." Ah, what do you mean?"
Zhang Mu's black eyes reflected the flames." Don't you think it's too quiet?"
Zhang Muyi said that Sun Bing really had a strange feeling.
Why is it so quiet?
Of course, this silence did not mean that no one spoke. It was just that people gathered in groups of three or five, Lei Ming's group, and Du Yunfeng's group gathered together again, as if they had drawn clear boundaries and did not interact with each other.
Leng Yun frowned and said," There seems to be some estrangement between these people. Although they seem to be harmonious on the surface, they are actually cautious and even hostile."
" At this time of the apocalypse, civilization collapsed. There were no more laws or systems, and the hearts of the people lost their restraints. The darkest side gradually emerged. In order to survive in the environment and obtain better resources, humans would do anything. As time passed, greed and desire in people's bones would grow bigger and bigger. In this environment, it was normal to be wary of each other and even hostile to each other. Once you lack a sense of security in your heart, you naturally don't dare to trust others."
Chen Ling was a little worried." Our equipment is better than theirs. If someone has evil intentions and wants to steal our equipment, isn't the situation very dangerous?"
Zhang Mu said: "Don't worry, we are facing the common survival pressure, with individual strength can not survive, everyone has to survive." No matter how they thought, they were limited to infighting. No one dared to break the balance openly. If I'm not wrong, Lei Ming and Du Yunfeng are not the same people. As an alien team, they will try to recruit us to join one of them."
After saying that, Zhang Mu looked at Du Yunfeng.
Du Yunfeng was sitting upright on a rock in the middle of the camp. The fierce man, Sang Dog, was leaning against a volcano with half a deer tied to an iron rod. Scorpion was silent and sat quietly. Du Rongrong was next, and there were three charming young beauties. Sanggou was Du Yunfeng's loyal bodyguard, Scorpion seemed to be part of Du Yunfeng's team, Du Rongrong was Du Yunfeng's niece, and the three beauties should be the core members of Du Yunfeng's company, or simply Du Yunfeng's mistress.
Not long after dinner.
Du Yunfeng suddenly stood up and said to everyone,"Today I am very happy that Captain Zhang Mu can bring his team and join our team." We must all know each other, and we'll take this opportunity to welcome them."
Everyone's attention was focused on the five of them.
Du Rongrong clapped loudly, and the others followed suit.
Zhang Mu and the four looked at each other and all stood up. Zhang Mu pretended to be alarmed and cupped his hands." You're too polite."
Du Yunfeng said a few words to the crowd, then strode over to them. The fierce man lost his dog and the girl Du Rongrong followed behind.
Zhang Mu revealed an embarrassed expression." Uncle Du, you're too polite. We're juniors. We can't afford it."
" No, no, no. What difference between seniors and juniors is there now?" Du Yunfeng smiled and said," We are partners fighting side by side. Your team is very strong and reliable. It deserves respect and support."
Fatty smiled until his eyes narrowed." This brother really knows how to talk!"
"I'm telling the truth." Du Yunfeng said as he took a kettle from the bereaved dog's hand, unscrewed the lid, and took two swigs. A smell of alcohol permeated the air, and Du Yunfeng handed the kettle to Zhang Mu." Because the environment is simple and the conditions are limited, we cannot celebrate properly." Come, let us drink a pot of wine together. From now on, we will be good brothers. Together, we will break out of the forest!"
Du Yunfeng was full of martial arts aura, but his words were sincere, making it impossible to reject him.
"Thank you!" After Zhang Mu finished speaking, he took a big sip from the pot.
"Because I was in a hurry just now, I didn't have time to introduce her. This is my niece Rongrong." Du Yunfeng pushed the girl out." Rongrong, why aren't you thanking Big Brother for saving your life?"
Du Rongrong was a little embarrassed to step forward. She raised her head and glanced at Zhang Mu. She immediately lowered her head." Thank…thank you for saving me, Brother Zhang."
Du Yunfeng revealed a loving expression and patted Rongrong's head gently." You little brat, you're not sincere!"
Du Rongrong pouted and said,"Nonsense. You're obviously sincere!"
Zhang Mu smiled and said," Monsters are rampant in the world. Humans are in a very difficult situation. We need to work together to help each other."
Du Yunfeng laughed." Little brother, you're a reasonable person."
Du Yuntao said a few words and went back. Du Rongrong stayed in Zhang Mu's team. She had already become familiar with Leng Yun and Chen Ling. There were less than one-fifth of the women in the team, and a few of them were close in age and were the lovers of her uncle. Du Rongrong disliked them very much, so she had been struggling to find sisters to talk to. Leng Yun and Chen Ling's participation made the little girl very happy.
Du Rongrong was sitting on a big rock, holding a small bowl of broth. Her thin legs were stretched out, revealing a pair of crystal-white calves. The firelight was shining like white jade. Her delicate and beautiful face was covered with mud. It was dirty like a little tabby cat, adding to her cute and playful feeling.
"Your levels are so high. How did you do it?" Du Rongrong's voice was very clear and pleasant." We started with more than 140 people, but now there are less than 90 left. Only Uncle Scorpion has reached Level 6. Uncle Scorpion is amazing!"
"This is the result of Boss leading us." Fatty said," I don't know if that calabash is powerful, but it definitely can't compare to our boss!"
Du Rongrong widened her bright eyes." Is Brother Blockhead that powerful?"
Zhang Mu shook his head and said,"I'm just lucky."
Du Rongrong pouted and said,"I don't believe it. How can I be lucky enough to advance to Level 6? You guys have so much equipment on you, and there are quite a few pieces of excellent equipment. You must have killed quite a few elite monsters, even silver elite monsters. Am I right?"
Zhang Mu did not deny it." Your equipment and skills aren't bad either."
Du Rongrong smiled. Her eyes curved into cute crescent shapes and she puffed out her small chest." Of course, her equipment is far inferior to yours. However, Rongrong's skills are first-class. Gray Wolf Summoning has been upgraded to LV2. She can summon elite monsters to assist in battle!"
Summoners 'skill books were extremely rare and had a low drop rate. They had always been the most expensive skill books.
Du Rongrong's [Gray Wolf Summoning] skill book was obtained when she was attacked by a group of wolves the night before yesterday. That battle had killed seventeen or eighteen members of the party, but they had killed nearly a hundred ordinary wolves and five or six elite gray wolves. From then on, Du Rongrong relied on this skill to become the main force of the team from being a drag. Therefore, her confidence increased, which was why she requested to join the vanguard team.
Du Rongrong was pretty and cute. She was very lively and optimistic. The shock did not leave any shadow on her. Soon, she had a fight with several people.
Zhang Mu looked at Du Rongrong and couldn't help but think of his sister. The two of them had many similarities. They were equally beautiful, kind, optimistic and cheerful. Du Rongrong was lucky to have a powerful party protecting her. She had also obtained a Summoning Spell and possessed considerable strength. She wondered how her sister was doing now…
However, Du Rongrong's [Grey Wolf Summoning] was at most an F grade skill book. Zhang Mu had a FF grade skill book [Death Mantis Summoning] that was two grades higher. It was a skill that summoned Silver Elite monsters. One had to know that ten Elite Grey Wolves combined could not defeat a Death Mantis.
Although she had a good impression of Du Rongrong, she was Du Yunfeng's subordinate and had no intention of taking out the skill book for the time being.
At this moment, footsteps came from behind.
Du Rongrong called out,"Old Hei, you're here too!"
Lei Ming walked over with a few soldiers in camouflage. He smiled at Du Rongrong and nodded, then looked at Zhang Mu and said,"Brother, we are also here to thank you. Otherwise, this old life will be accounted for."
Du Yunfeng has bearing, wisdom and courage. However, compared to this cold and determined warrior, Zhang Mu was more likely to have a favorable impression of him.
"Brother Lei is too serious."
" Just call him Old Hei like Rongrong, hahaha…" Lei Ming laughed loudly and pointed at a warrior beside him." Let me introduce him. This is Old Eagle. He is my assistant and an old comrade of almost ten years."
"Little brother, I heard from Old Hei that you're quite skilled." Old Eagle smiled."Let's spar some other time!"
Old Eagle was a middle-sized man with a clean haircut. He was not very old and had a rather unruly temperament. His eyes sparkled and he looked very energetic. He had some stubble on his beard. He was a rather masculine middle-aged man.
Lei Ming glared at Old Eagle and said," I brought this guy up from the recruit's egg. He's a thorn in the side. He loves to cause trouble. Ignore him!"
Zhang Mu nodded." It doesn't matter. I'm here anytime."
Old Eagle laughed,"Good lad!"
Lei Ming said,"We and our comrades are collecting some gold coins from each other. The system has currency settings, so it must be useful." Because I'm really short of money and can't take out anything decent, I can only express my gratitude with this."
Zhang Mu shook his head and said,"No need. I don't lack gold coins!"
Lei Ming suddenly tightened his face: "You are looking down on us!"
Zhang Mu had no choice but to accept Lei Ming's kindness. Zhang Mu's heart was like a mirror. Lei Ming appeared to be thick and bold, looking like an ordinary man without any plans. In fact, anyone with a little intelligence could think of how a boorish man could become a commander of a special forces unit.
Lei Ming was obviously hiding his skills on purpose and displaying his forthright and generous side.
Scorpion is a terrible killer.
Lost Dog is a powerful warrior.
Du Yunfeng and Lei Ming were leaders, able to lead a team and stand alone.
