In the Mutant Camp, the two gladiator teams, Luo Jun and the Big Health Team, are considered mortal enemies. They compete against each other in the same arena, with the winner becoming the champion and the loser ultimately becoming the meal of the Mutant. On the second day after waking up, Tom was approached by Natasha, who beat him half to death with the harvest of two bottles of wine.
It can be said that Tom and Natasha are also considered mortal enemies.
However, setting aside these stance issues, Tom's evaluation of Natasha is not low. At least based on the intelligence he has obtained, although Natasha is careless, her nature is still not bad.
This time, the two of them teamed up to escape from Zhang Meng's clutches and gained time to get to know each other better. Although there is no "deep" understanding between men and women, the exploration after opening up a part of their hearts will give them more space for cooperation in their upcoming escape journey.
Of course, they are not very quiet in this house. For a fruit shop full of rotten fruits, flies and mosquitoes are the masters. For the indigenous people, these two unwelcome guests are the best food for promotion.
Fortunately, none of these insects have mutated. With their physical fitness and a year of experience in post apocalyptic combat, even without equipment, there is still no danger.
Just to avoid trouble, Tom still built a tin house using the green control crystal he snatched from Zhao Xifeng. This is an iron box that is 10 centimeters wide, 20 centimeters long, and 15 centimeters high. Despite the constant noise of mosquitoes hitting the metal sheets, it was already good for the two of them, at least these annoying things didn't need them to continue dealing with.
"It's too hot, can't you cool down quickly?" Natasha sat at one end of the box, complaining incessantly towards the small vent.
Tom felt helpless and said, "I can shape a house with metal, but I can't make an air conditioner. It's natural to have a cool mind. You take a break... ah... what are you doing?" Before Tom could finish speaking, he saw Natasha undressing again and quickly turned his head.
"I'm used to sleeping naked at night, and your house is really too hot. Oh, why are you shy? It's such a big fuss, ¥% #+&" Natasha quickly stripped herself off and spoke in Maoist, probably mocking Tom for being too timid.
Tom doesn't want to make things unclear, but this Mao girl has a bold and unrestrained style, and doesn't care at all about being in a small space with a naked man. What could he do about it? He could only squeeze into another corner of the house, no longer looking back at her, and focus on thinking about the next strategy.
In addition to thinking about this, he is also studying the green energy control crystal in his arms. He will try to actively absorb the crystal energy inside, and if it is really feasible, he may be able to activate abilities like those mutated people without carrying crystals.
However, after studying for half a day, he still gained nothing. Can't he absorb this purified crystal energy? Tom thought it over and over again, maybe it's possible.
This night was incredibly long. Natasha talked to him several times, and he responded perfunctorily. It wasn't until she threatened that Tom would go up and force him to sleep if he continued to do so perfunctorily that he had a proper attitude.
However, it's not his fault for being perfunctory. Natasha, despite her usual tough and aloof demeanor, is a talkative person in private. She talks about every topic, from how she took risks in the beginning to how she was caught by Zhang Meng, to how Zhang Meng coveted her beauty without hesitation. In the end, when she was brought out today, Zhang Meng was too eager to deal with her, which was so detailed that Tom felt helpless.
However, one thing she mentioned caught his attention.
After dealing with the matter of the Steel Castle, Zhang Meng ran back to find Mao Mei in a hurry, but of course, he didn't take matters seriously immediately. But instead, he pretended to talk about a topic to ease the atmosphere, mentioning that in addition to the original ten men and women, there was also a seriously injured person in the castle.
This person doesn't seem to have a simple background, like a soldier. Zhang Meng guesses that the other party is either a soldier or a private army of some large enterprises.
This intelligence made Tom's heart skip a beat, and he immediately thought of the soldiers in the shelter. Of course, at this point he has already escaped from the clutches and has no intention of verifying the other party's identity.
Besides arousing Tom's interest in this topic, it was even more uninteresting, accompanied by constant complaints of "I want to drink". Tom really ran out to look around, but couldn't find half a bottle of wine to stop her mouth.
Finally, in the latter half of the night, Natasha fell into a deep sleep, and Tom was able to calm down. Although mosquitoes still occasionally hit the metal house, he could finally get a good sleep.
Tom slept until 7 o'clock in the morning and checked to make sure there were no other unwelcome guests. Then he woke up Natasha and had breakfast with her, packed up and set off on the road.
His goal is simple: to find a store with more abundant supplies nearby and get an electric toy car, so that he can return to the shelter faster.
Natasha has no objections to his plans, but in her opinion, going anywhere is the same, as long as it's not among the stinky mutants like Zhang Meng.
This morning, they walked in and out of the streets and alleys, but there were still no suitable shops to enter. The best place to achieve their goal was the supermarket. However, the supermarket occupied by the mutant was too complete, resulting in not being able to find a decent one nearby. After walking for half a year without any success, Natasha couldn't help but start complaining.
"I don't have any alcohol yet. I can't stand it anymore. Even in those crazy campsites, I can drink alcohol every day. If I keep going like this, I'd rather go back."
"Are you sure you want to go back?" Tom did not understand the good of wine. He could not live without it? He remembered that Natasha said that all the wine she drank was Baijiu without water. Is it poison for a villain?
I don't know what these hairy stomachs are made of.
"I remember there was a river ahead when we turned left. We might as well jump into the river and rush wherever we went. It happened to be a little further away from these perverts, and maybe we could even meet a better supermarket. As long as there was a supermarket..." As soon as the words fell, something suddenly fell from the sky beside them, startling Natasha.
Tom looked up and shouted, "Not good.".
It turned out that there was a big moth above their heads, with wide yellow wings and a pair of long brown antennae flying above them.
The pair of eye shaped patterns on the wings are a camouflage used by moths to deter enemies, commonly known as eye patterns. Nowadays, the body size has become larger due to variation, and the eye lines are even more frightening. Looking up from below, combined with its body lines, it looks like a face staring at them in the air.
"It's the face moth of the Moth Mother!" Tom immediately recognized the origin of this guy, who was the Air Force representative in the Mutant Camp and the Empress of the Four Heavenly Kings under Zhang Meng's command.
In fact, among gladiators, it is widely circulated that the eye patterns on the wings of the human face moth of E Po are actually eyes. It is an aerial reconnaissance soldier in the mutant camp, and flying in the air can easily detect ants on the ground.
The spear that fell from the sky just now was undoubtedly thrown by E Po, with the clear purpose of nailing them to the ground.
Tom grabbed Natasha's hand and ran frantically, as the appearance of Empress meant that other mutants would soon be able to find her.
Natasha's strength is undoubtedly the strongest, but in terms of speed, she is much worse, even worse than Tom's. Tom pulled her and kept running, but the face moth kept hovering above their heads.
They are currently in an open area, which is also one of the reasons why Empress launched an attack. They still have a long way to go to hide in the house.
Even if they enter the house, it's useless. The mutants who come after them will definitely pull them out, including the Labrador mutant dog with an extremely sensitive nose. Tom was running and thinking about where to go, and soon Natasha's words made him think of a solution.
"River, do you think there is a river turning left ahead?"
"That's right!" Natasha couldn't keep up as Tom dragged her, after all, speed wasn't her strong suit. However, the woman above her head couldn't help but shoot spears towards them, and if she ran slower, she might get stung. "Turn left ahead!"
"Let's go!" Tom made a decisive decision. The last time he faced a threat with Shen Jiayi, he also jumped into the river decisively, floated underwater, successfully escaped the threat, and finally returned to the village below the river. This time, it is natural to repeat the old trick. My two legs can't fly in the sky, but if we go downstream, we can at least get rid of the pursuers of the mutant people behind us.
Behind them, there was a faint sound of dog barking, undoubtedly the Labrador variant of a single kidney dog. It was only a matter of time before they were caught up.
Just after running a short distance, a spear pierced Natasha's leg and plunged her to the ground.
Tom ran out a few steps and turned around, looking at Natasha's desperate face as she fell. He hesitated in his heart.
Natasha can't run away, he still has time to leave now.
"Let's go quickly... forget about me..." Natasha said, lying on the hot ground with a relaxed expression on her face. "It's no big deal, I'll just give that perverted little thing a shot."
Tom wants to leave, after all, Ouyang Haotian, Liu Lian and others need his warning, because this time he is running away, Zhang Meng, Zhao Xifeng and others will definitely want to tear him up and eat him up.
However, Natasha's words last night touched him.
"Your friend in the distance needs to be rescued. Don't you plan to save those two legged sheep in the nearby camp? My savior, sir."
Tom's answer to her was very selfish, "I can only save myself and my friends within my ability, others depend on the situation."
However, looking at the gradually emerging Labrador mutant dog, he knew that his chance to escape was about to enter the countdown.
"Fool, do you really think you're the savior? What are you hesitating about?" Natasha seemed a bit anxious. She didn't know why Tom had a brain twitch and didn't run away. "They will definitely bite you to the bone when they catch you back."
Tom looked up and saw the human faced moth slowly descending. In addition to the topless female mutant E, there was also a woman dressed in a black robe.
Thinking about the mysterious soldier mentioned by Natasha, Tom took a deep breath and sat down on the ground.
"Anyway, it's not bad either. Don't forget, dogs can also swim."
"You his mother are a fool, I ¥# @" In Natasha's angry curse, the light gray Labrador dog appeared in Tom's vision.
Now, I really can't run away.
