Chapter 131 Kukochi
Lei Jun frowned and said, "The whole way here has been a desert. Even when we encountered some green plants and some strange...strange creatures..."
This doesn't necessarily indicate a shortage of resources on this planet. If our truckload of supplies enters human settlements, all will be fine if there are no checkpoints to inspect the goods. However, if there are checkpoints, our supplies will be impossible to hide.
Furthermore, I was thinking that the creatures we encountered in the desert were so powerful, so for the humans here to deal with them, they either need to possess a strong physique to contend with these creatures, or they need to possess advanced technology.
Regardless of the method, it will be very troublesome if our supplies are spied on.
Lei Jun and Yufei rationally analyzed the situation. Yufei thought about it and it seemed to be true.
"How about we send two people inside to scout out the situation first?" Yufei asked, holding up the contact information.
"This might work. Huang Zi and I will go then." Lei Jun thought Yu Fei's suggestion was good and began to assign personnel.
"I'll go too!" Yufei was also curious about what was going on inside, and besides, she could help them if they encountered any problems in the city.
Lei Jun thought for a moment, and finally nodded. Even if the three of them were detained in the city or something, he was confident he could get Yufei out safely.
“However, after we go in, they’d better find a safe place to stay. I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling that the desert isn’t very safe at night,” Yufei and Lei Jun expressed their concerns.
"Gangzi, did you hear that just now?" Lei Jun asked a man with a simple and honest appearance.
"Understood! Mission accomplished!" He saluted Yufei and shouted.
"With him around, there's nothing to worry about. He can quickly lead the brothers to build all sorts of bunkers and crypts, and he's also very good at finding safe locations," Lei Jun said, patting Gangzi on the shoulder.
Gangzi smiled sheepishly at Lei Jun's praise, appearing exceptionally down-to-earth and reliable.
Yufei felt relieved. The three of them packed nearly 10 kilograms of food, some compressed biscuits, a bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, a bag of iodized salt, a bag of dehydrated vegetables, a bag of Longyuan cured meat, and more than ten packets of instant noodle seasoning into their backpacks.
Yufei thought for a moment, then took out a box of tea from the wooden crate inside and put it in her backpack.
The three bid farewell to the others and headed in the direction Qi Huang pointed. Sure enough, they discovered a great road, one that no animal could have traversed; only intelligent beings could have created it.
Yufei and her two companions continued walking towards the main road, heading towards areas with lush vegetation, for about half an hour.
Then they saw people dressed in black armor and veils heading from the main road to a side road, while others dressed similarly in grey returned to the main road from the side road. Several people carried a huge creature towards the base.
Everyone wore happy smiles, indicating a good harvest. Yufei and her two companions quickly followed behind, trying to find their base.
What made Yufei happy was that she observed the people coming and going. Although they were all incredibly tall, easily nearly two meters high, she probably looked like a child in their presence.
Even though Lei Jun and Qi Huang, both 181.2 cm tall men from Northeast China, are more than a head shorter than them, at least they still look like human beings. They don't have two heads, or extra arms, extra legs, or eyes and noses that are located in other places.
Perhaps Yufei and her two companions were staring too intently at the person in front of them, for a rugged-looking man with a unique kind of handsomeness suddenly turned around and looked at them.
"Which scoundrel is spying on us there?!"
Yufei saw his face clearly. His features were well-defined, sculpted, with strong lines, exuding masculine vigor. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could see through everything; his nose was high and straight, giving him a resolute look; his lips were full, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth carried a hint of unintentional smile, making him seem both approachable and mysterious.
His hair was slightly disheveled, yet possessed a unique, untamed charm. He was tall and robust, with well-defined muscles; his broad shoulders and thick chest inspired a sense of security and reliability. His clothing, in a decadent style, still showcased his personality and taste.
His handsomeness wasn't the delicate, refined kind, but rather a rugged, unrestrained kind. His presence seemed to possess an invisible charm, drawing people in effortlessly.
However, now is not the time for Yufei to express her admiration for his handsomeness.
Lei Jun went to greet him, smiling kindly, "Don't misunderstand, brother. My two siblings and I have come from afar to broaden our horizons, and we just happened to arrive here."
Lei Jun explained to the man in front of him where he came from and what he was there for, so as not to cause any misunderstanding, and at the same time to reassure him that they posed no threat to them.
"You three came from afar?" Kukochi glanced suspiciously at the three "little guys" in front of him; none of them dared to go too far.
Further afield, there's not only severe radiation, but also those guys—how did they even survive to get here?
Lei Jun's answer did not ease Kukoc's suspicions; instead, it made him wonder what kind of people they were that could have crossed that radiation zone to get here.
However, Kukoc didn't sense any malice from the three men; instead, he felt curiosity—curiosity about them?! Like someone who had been in seclusion for a long time encountering the world for the first time.
Kukoc suddenly realized something, his eyes burning with desire. Could it be someone from the legendary land?
Legend has it that every so often, people from the legendary land would come to exchange goods with them, including fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat.
It's said to be far more delicious than the food they eat now, but that only exists in legends, because no one in his generation, including his mother's generation, has ever seen the legendary land.
Thinking of Kukoc's enthusiastic greeting to them, I wondered how to prove that he was indeed a very warm person.
Yufei and the others exchanged glances, feeling a little panicked. Seeing the person who had gone from wary and distant to this state so suddenly, Lei Jun thought, "Even Sichuan opera face-changing can't keep up with me!"
However, they decided to accept the situation as it was and see what this person was really up to. Since he had invited them to join his group, they went along with it and integrated themselves into it.
"Brother Lei, I'll give you a proper welcome when we get back to base. Right now, we need to hurry up and get this big-eared monster processed, otherwise we won't be able to eat it."
As Kukoc hurried along, he explained to Lei Jun that he was afraid these guests from the legendary land would be angry, so he refused to exchange supplies with them.
What?! You'll steal it if you don't trade?! Who dares to steal it? Legend has it that the people of that legendary land are masters of lightning; they taught their current superpowered warriors how to activate their abilities.
Legend has it that long ago, someone noticed the people of the legendary land were short and looked weak, and wanted to control them and seize their land. Now, the grass on their graves has turned to tangled weeds.
We should treat them well. If they can choose him as the person to exchange goods, he and his brother will be rich!
