"It's not human to begin with," the little guy said smugly. "Otherwise, why do you think Xu Xin and the others are so afraid of it?"
Because that guy is omniscient and omnipresent.
"What exactly is it?" Meng Shisan asked, intrigued.
He wanted to figure out what was going on with this guy.
The little guy hesitated for a moment: "I can't say. Although I'm not afraid of it, it would be very troublesome if I provoked it."
Meng Shisan was somewhat surprised. Ever since this little guy was able to communicate, his breath was even more pungent than his athlete's foot. He actually had moments of fear.
"You're not so great either," Meng Shisan laughed. "So, is our time travel also related to that guy? Can we talk about that?"
"I can tell you that, but I don't know," the little guy said, sounding a bit frustrated.
Meng Shisan didn't press the matter further; since the little guy wasn't willing to talk, there was no point in asking.
The key is that this thing is too important; destroying it would not do me any good.
As for whether that guy is human or ghost, now that he's appeared, he doesn't believe he can hide forever.
The truth is only interesting when you uncover it yourself.
However, the existence that even the little guy kept so secret piqued Meng Shisan's interest.
Putting aside these complicated thoughts, Meng Shisan glanced at Er Er in his arms again.
The little girl is sleeping soundly.
It seemed that the little girl hadn't had a proper rest since yesterday, so Meng Shisan immediately placed her in the armor on the ground.
Only then did they begin cleaning up the base vehicle.
Although the previous storm failed to sweep away the mobile base vehicle, it is now filled with rubble and a thick layer of yellow sand.
It took Meng Shisan more than half an hour to clean up these things.
"Since we're just killing time anyway, why don't we go soak in the river for a while? Look at how filthy you are, you should wash up."
After Meng Shisan finished cleaning the base vehicle, the little guy in his mind started chattering again.
"You're the one who wants to go to the river, aren't you?" He knew exactly what this guy was up to, but the thought of the excruciating pain in the river made him back down.
Given a choice, who would willingly choose to suffer that pain?
"No, I just feel that being so dirty is a disservice to your handsome face."
Meng Shisan smiled without saying anything, but did not refuse.
Although the tearing sensation in the river was painful, he had to admit that the river water was indeed helping him strengthen his body, which could be considered a different kind of evolution.
However, this method of evolution is quite barbaric.
After carrying Er'er back to the car, Meng Shisan jumped into the river.
The familiar stinging sensation returned.
Although he was prepared, when the piercing pain came, Meng Shisan still instinctively wanted to wail.
"So comfortable..." the little guy groaned in his mind.
"Can you please stop being so lewd?" Meng Shisan was speechless.
As for...
"What do you know?" The little guy's tone was full of joy. "This is more nutritious for us than anything else we eat."
Meng Shisan didn't argue with it. This time, he had time to carefully observe the various changes within his body.
"I feel like my bones are much stronger after they've been fractured and repaired?"
"Nonsense, it's just like steelmaking, it's forged through repeated tempering, do you understand?"
This is actually a tremendous opportunity for you; every time you are repaired after being broken, it is like being reborn from the ashes.
"If you soaked in this river for ten or eight years, your thigh bones would probably be hard enough to be used as weapons."
"Ten or eight years?" Meng Shisan said irritably. "If I really soak for ten or eight years, I don't know if my thigh bone will still be usable as a weapon, but by then I'll definitely be reduced to nothing."
By the way, do you have a name?
"Can you get one for me?"
"Steamed buns?" Meng Shisan blurted out without thinking.
"Are you serious?" The little guy was a bit incredulous. Such a casual name?
"Don't like it? Then call it a greyhound?"
"Let's go with Baozi (steamed bun), at least it's still understandable. What the heck is 'Silky Dog'?" It realized that this guy really had no talent for naming things, and it was afraid that he would come up with some shocking name later.
"Alright, from now on I'll call you Baozi (steamed bun)." Meng Shisan said with a smile, "It sounds nice, it matches your life characteristics and your appearance."
Baozi stopped talking. Even though it was usually a chatterbox, it didn't want to speak at this moment. It focused on feeling the river water tearing and repairing itself like a sharp sword.
For Meng Shisan, this was a painful experience.
But for it, this is the ultimate enjoyment.
"Do you think this river can carry some of it away?"
Meng Shisan tried to cup the water in his hands; he was indeed tempted.
Since this river water can strengthen him, so what if it's a bit savage?
"It should be possible." Baozi didn't want to talk to Meng Shisan, but when it heard this topic, it couldn't help but ask, "But what are you going to use to carry it?"
Don't forget, no matter what it is, the moment it falls into the river, it will be torn to pieces by the river.
Moreover, if the river water is insufficient, it probably won't be of much use.
"What a pity." Meng Shisan was genuinely regretful.
What a wonderful thing! It can not only temper oneself, but sometimes it can even be used as a trump card to trick others.
"Let's go, let's go up. Er'er will be scared if she wakes up and can't see me." After soaking for a while, Meng Shisan no longer craved the river water.
When we got back to the base vehicle, Er Er was still asleep.
Meng Shisan glanced at him and saw that his vital signs were stable, which put his mind at ease.
Hello to those nearby!
Just as Meng Shisan was about to check the car, a weak woman's voice came through the car radio.
"I am Yan Zhiyu, the captain of the third squad of the base's field operations department."
I know you are within 30 miles of us, and I also know the purpose of your trip.
I'm not afraid to tell you, out of more than forty suits of armor, we've already damaged twenty.
I want to see how you're going to explain yourselves when you get back.
"She's crazy." After hearing what she said, Meng Shisan shook his head. This woman must be out of her mind.
Do you think I care how many suits of armor you damaged?
Just as he was thinking this, Meng Shisan suddenly realized a problem.
"Wait, you guys? Does that mean there are other people in this wasteland besides them and me?" Meng Shisan looked at the radio again.
The coordinates are indeed not open.
This means that you can't see others, and others can't see you either.
In other words, the reason he was able to receive Yan Zhiyu's radio message was simply because he happened to have wandered into someone else's 30-mile radius area.
The base vehicle's radio works like this: when both sides turn on their radios, it will display a signal as long as the distance between them is no more than thirty miles.
In other words, there is a third-party force within a radius of thirty miles of Yan Zhiyu.
At least Yan Zhiyu saw the other party's coordinates on the radio.
And this third party, at most, will not be more than sixty miles away from you.
When did the wasteland become so lively?
Meng Shisan had already fallen for her; Yan Zhiyu was probably with that guy who kept saying, "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"
The third force consists either of another squad from the base's field operations department or the pioneers who secretly modified the base.
He was interested in both groups.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard Er Er snoring softly, and Meng Shisan immediately shook his head: "Forget it, let's get the explosives first."
