Chapter 162 Leaving Luwei City
The dragon's wings blocked out the sky.
The flames burned fiercely, and black smoke rose up. The decorations on the building crackled and screamed. The flames quickly moved on the facade of the building. The heat was overflowing, and the sparks were flying. The people across the street from the building looked up at the Corrodo dragon spitting fire with great fanfare. From time to time, there were bursts of burning objects falling. The air soon became unbearably hot.
"It's burning the building," said one protester.
"This dragon is burning the fire company," another protester shouted.
Sprinklers swarmed out with a buzzing sound, spraying around the building to put out the fire. When the water drops touched the burning flames, they turned into steaming white mist. Alarm bells rang loudly, and the staff in the building evacuated one after another. The facade of the building continued to explode, and the bright red flames rose up with hot strong winds, engulfing the building.
The burning building materials of the building fell one after another, and the smoking fragments bounced around Xiaozhen's feet from time to time. The prisoners sent here by the guards retreated again and again due to the heat, and even the most hardworking fox man put away the trumpet and ran across the street.
"So, are we still going to protest?" Gamor asked, pointing at the burning building.
"Protest!" the fox shouted, "Get away from this building!"
In addition to the large number of hardworking sprinklers, the fire company employees were also dispatched. They were fully armed in fireproof suits and held firefighting equipment in their hands to challenge the dragon's raging fire. The flames spewed by the dragon jumped between the buildings like lightning, while the sprinklers and firefighting firefighters chased the flames and sprayed fire extinguishers.
The dragon sprinkled flames, and the fire extinguisher turned the flames into white smoke.
After a while, it became a competition of "Look, I do it faster than you."
Ashes with sparks danced in the air. Seeing its flames extinguished, the dragon waved its huge black wings in dissatisfaction, spewing out even more violent winds and flames, blowing away some sprinklers and firefighters. The fire roared up to the sky, and the dragon roared triumphantly.
And before long, the sprinklers and firefighters flew back and continued to tirelessly put out the fire.
One side worked hard to spit fire, while the other side tried to put it out. In the ashes and hot wind, flames and thick smoke rose and fell one after another, equally matched.
The protesters who were sent to the scene watched the fire-extinguishing and fire-setting challenge on the other side of the street and looked at each other in bewilderment.
The slug man said, "Is this... a fire-setting and fire-extinguishing competition?"
Gamor said, "Excuse me, should we still protest?"
The fox man said unhappily: "I don't know!!"
One image shows a senior manager of the fire company Crescent Company directing people on the street. He is not directing the firefighters to put out the fire, but directing several flying cameras. "Capture the heroic figures of our employees putting out the fire. Yes, record my words." The supervisor said loudly, "We guarded our building and heroically put out the fire! This is all thanks to our company's high-quality heat-resistant and fire-resistant clothing."
"You guys, get closer to the fire!" the supervisor shouted, "Show your fearless attitude in fighting fire. Yes, show that the company's fireproof suits can withstand the raging fire of a giant dragon without any damage."
A ball of fire engulfed a firefighter, who rolled over and was blown away by the hot wind from the dragon. The supervisor pointed at him and shouted, "Camera No. 3, aim at him! Follow him, follow him! Why is he screaming? It's okay, just adjust it in real time. Look, there is absolutely no problem with our fireproof suits."
Captain Ban whispered, "Now I really hope that this dragon will burn down this building along with the leaders." The little one beside him was watching a flying saucer that was about to fly away. Several high-ranking people who had been evacuated from the building not long ago sat in the flying saucer.
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Zhen said: "Just now I saw them coming out of the building, carrying a strange safe in their hands."
"Yeah, it's normal evacuation behavior. What's wrong with this?"
"I'm curious about what's in the safe." Xiao Zhen stroked his chin and said, "Do you know what I just detected from their subconscious mind?"
"What?"
“They were thinking: We must not let the dragon find out.”
"ah?"
Xiao Zhen nodded and said, "So, of course I have to tell the dragon."
Xiao Zhen let out a low roar from his throat again, and waved his arms at the Korrodo dragon, trying to get his attention.
The dragon was in high spirits when it breathed fire, and the fire-setting contest had obviously aroused its competitive spirit. Black smoke came out of the dragon's mouth, flames were wriggling on the tip of its tongue, and its eyes, like bright red furnaces, were staring intently at the fire building.
Xiao Zhen spent a lot of effort to roar a dragon, but it didn't attract the dragon's attention. He had to superimpose his mental power and roar into the dragon's ears: "Big guy, can you do me a favor?"
The dragon then roared in response, "Boy, I'm going to burn this building down right now!"
"But what I want is on that flying saucer." Xiao Zhen pointed to the flying saucer that was taking off and said to the dragon, "Can you help me knock it open?"
"Is there something delicious up there?" the dragon muttered. It looked regretfully at the smoke-filled building, waved its claws and slapped the flying saucer down. Several frightened company executives climbed out of the saucer and ran away.
"Hmm? There's a very familiar smell." The dragon lowered its neck and sniffed the flying saucer and hummed.
"The safe in the flying saucer." Xiao Zhen reminded it.
The dragon spewed out flames, and the flames burned the safe. In an instant, the outer shell of the safe melted into liquid, revealing an oval brown-black egg.
"It's an egg." Xiao Zhen said.
"..." The dragon stared at it and said, "This is my lost egg."
"When did you lose it?"
"My child was gone after I came here. I have been looking for it, but I didn't expect to find it here."
Xiaozhen immediately understood the whole story.
The conspiracy was clear at a glance. The dragon did not deliberately plunder the city for meat and force the citizens to feed it. Instead, the Crescent Company secretly hid the dragon's eggs and let the dragon stay in Luwei City. Then, the company used the influence of the company's top management in the council to delay time and took the opportunity to use the government's mandatory sale of fire prevention and firefighting products to the citizens to make huge profits.
Limited by the limitations of the dragon's voice language, Xiao Zhen couldn't explain the whole process to the Corrodo dragon. But the dragon clearly understood that this building hid the egg that he had been looking for for many days.
So the dragon angrily started to tear down the building while breathing fire.
Xiaozhen and Captain Ban picked up the loudspeaker to denounce the crime of the Crescent Company. Other protesters saw the egg next to the dragon's feet and immediately followed suit, holding up loudspeakers and slogans, shouting that the Crescent Company was making a lot of money by exploiting endangered species and that officials and businessmen were colluding and disregarding the law.
When the slogan "It's all because of Xinyue Company that we have no meat to eat" was shouted, more citizens and passersby joined in angrily. They picked up stones and drove away the firefighters who were putting out the fire, "Let them tear it down! Let them burn!! Let them tear it down! Let them burn!" The passersby shouted in unison.
By the time the guards arrived, the Crescent Company's building had been demolished, leaving only some support structures.
…
It was already evening when Xiaozhen came out of the Scientific Fishing Guild.
A huge shadow swept across the ground.
Xiao Zhen looked up and saw a giant dragon flying in the sky, holding its eggs tightly in its claws. The shadow was about to leave the city and go to an unknown place to hatch its children.
A dragon's roar resounded through the city.
That was the dragon saying goodbye to Xiao Zhen.
"Goodbye, dragon." Xiao Zhen said softly.
…
After all this trouble, it's time to leave here.
A swift figure came in and said, "Hello, Yan Zhen..."
"Hello." Xiao Zhen said politely. The person in front of him was none other than Jia Moer, his temporary detention room mate today.
She smiled and said to Xiao Zhen, "You talked to the dragon earlier, right?"
“…”
"I saw it!" Gamor said. "You made some strange noises, and then the dragon found the dragon eggs that Crescent Company was trying to take away."
"That was just an accident."
"Anyway, you can talk to dragons." Gamor's emerald eyes sparkled, and she smiled, "I'm just a little curious! I'm full of curiosity about this endangered rare animal. In fact, I'm a member of the Galaxy Endangered Rare Animal Protection Association, and I've always been interested in protecting endangered rare creatures."
Xiao Zhen said, "I'm sorry, I don't have time to chat with you now. My ship is about to leave, and I have to go."
"I have a request. Can you take me with you?" Gamor asked, "Since we used to work together."
Faced with this sudden request, Xiaozhen said nothing.
She looked at Xiaozhen's expression and said in a pleading tone, "To be honest, I'm a student who is on a graduation trip. Now I don't have the money to buy a boat ticket to leave here. I've asked around and found out that your ship is going to the Jinghai Star Region, and I just want to go there. But there are too few job opportunities in this city, and I can't save enough money for the boat ticket. If you can take me on board, I will definitely work hard! I have many skills, I have a small boat driving certificate, and I have a legal license to carry a gun in the wild, you will definitely be able to use mine!"
Xiao Zhen and Captain Madara looked at each other, and Captain Madara said, "Excuse me, can you cook?"
"Cooking?" Jiamoer smiled and said, "I have the qualification of a Level 4 chef recognized by the Galaxy Cooking and Gourmet Association. I have dabbled in the dishes of all the mainstream races in the galaxy."
Xiao Zhen and Captain Madara looked at each other again.
So, ZejinAdded a new chef.
Liu Xingquan opened the glass bottle, and the letter in the bottle was still the one he had stuffed in there a few days ago.
There was no letter from his pen pal.
He put the letter back into the glass bottle. At first, Liu Xingquan was very confident that his pen pal would reply immediately and tell him where he was. At this time, he still had a fluke, thinking that he was the protagonist of a magical adventure, and this initial dilemma would be solved soon. But the sun rose and set, and then the days passed, so long that he had already blurred the counting of the days, and there was no movement in the drift bottle. There was no change in the letter in the bottle. In this serious situation, he had to admit that his only magical plug-in, the drift bottle, might not be so useful. In the past, the letters from his pen pals were always intermittent, and this time he had no idea when he would get a reply. And the premise for being able to reply is that his pen pal can receive his letter in the bottle in another world.
The reality he faces is a state of confusion and uncertainty.
At this time, the distant sky was a purple-red color that was a blend of daylight and night. On the gradually darkening dome, the stars were shining brightly.
The roaring shell monsters moved forward as usual. At night, the temperature in the wasteland would drop sharply. Liu Xingquan was sitting on the back of a shell monster, with his down jacket draped over himself. After these days of getting along with them, he had gradually figured out some of the temperaments of these monsters. Most of these shell monsters were gentle, but not all of them welcomed Liu Xingquan , a hairless upright ape, to climb on their backs and use them as scooters. Most of the shell monsters would mercilessly throw Liu Xingquan to the ground as soon as they found that Liu Xingquan was trying to climb on them. Fortunately, the shell monsters were not rude, and there were some particularly docile and friendly ones. After a careful exploration without fear of death, Liu Xingquan discovered two potential replacement mounts.
In order to please his mounts, Liu Xingquan specially cut some very tender grass for them as a reward. He called the purple wasteland grass that the crustaceans ate "wasteland purple". The crustaceans liked to eat the juiciest part in the middle of the wasteland purple. He used a knife to pick the tenderest wasteland purple grass, cut the heads and roots of the collected grass, and sent it directly to the mouths of his selected mounts. This carefully selected service was a rare enjoyment for the crustaceans. With such benefits, his three mounts became more cooperative.
Although food is still sometimes available, with these mounts on the road, his journey to the other world has become a little easier.
But when can I get out of this wasteland, Liu Xingquan thought.
Because he was too bored, Liu Xingquan named his three mounts, One One, Two Two, and Three Three. If possible, he even wanted to tame all the shell monsters and give them all numbers.
The owner of the Shell Monster Insect Farm in the Other World, this name is not bad. Maybe God has given me such an opportunity to realize my second life in the other world.
When he realized this direction of development, Liu Xingquan couldn't help but feel a little excited.
However, his journey to tame the crustacean encountered a catastrophic crisis the day after he made up his mind.
