Visitors from the Wilderness (9): Communication

Translated by Jev Kaez

In addition, Gao Hexuan was a veteran, and wild animals rarely attack him actively, so that after so long, Gao Hexuan still did not realize the key to this mission world. For the basic needs of survival, he just buried his head and wander around looking for food and water sources that did not actually exist.

Gao Hexuan had actually been lying here for several hours. He was so tired, hungry, and thirsty that he couldn’t walk, but he found that he wouldn’t really crash, so he just lay down and set himself to standby mode to reduce consumption.

He fell asleep and woke up in a daze. Gao Hexuan seemed to see fireworks in a trance, and fell asleep for a while. Gao Hexuan suddenly remembered that he also had fireworks that he could release to call for help. With the attitude of giving it a try, it happened to attract Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian’s attention.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian really suspected that if they hadn’t rushed over, Gao Hexuan, a trialer with mission experience, might have been forced to die.

This speechless ending was not only thought of by Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, but also by Gao Hexuan himself.

But after rummaging through the space, he had nothing to repay the two of them, so he could only make up his mind secretly, and then he must kill a lot of wild animals to get the treasure chest and return it to the two of them.

“What are you going to do next?”

Cheng Huaiqian asked patiently.

Confusion flashed in Gao Hexuan’s eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he asked cautiously, “Can I follow you?”

The reason why he dared to make such a request is that Gao Hexuan doubted his ability to survive in a mission world that was completely unfavorable to the performance of his abilities; .

“Since the newcomer who should be protected by him has been picked up, it is not too much to pick him up too.”

Cheng Huaiqian didn’t know what to think, so he proposed. Xia Ruize naturally had no objection.

Gao Hexuan was very grateful and sincerely thanked him.

Then Cheng Huaiqian released the Gorefiend bull, stretched out his hand and carried Gao Hexuan, who was slumped on the ground, onto the Gorefiend bull. Then, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian rode in front of the Gorefiend bull, and the Gorefiend bull followed with Gao Hexuan on his back, and together they went back in the direction of the camp.

“I’m a little curious about the terrain of this world now. At first, we walked in different directions. How did we come to the same place after two days of walking? Is this a coincidence, or is there another reason?”

Cheng Huaiqian submerged the horse and approached Xia Ruize, and chatted about his latest doubts with a smile.

The day before, the six trialers were finally divided into four groups and moved in four different directions. Cheng Huaiqian thought that they were not too close in the direction chosen by Xia Ruize. Why did the female trialer and the tattooed man who were so embarrassed and Gao Hexuan, who looked even more embarrassed, only moved a little less than them?

“I think we might not be walking in a straight line, and one detail I noticed is that the soil is getting darker and darker.”

Xia Ruize pointed to the ground. The day before, the color of the soil was light yellow, and today it gradually turned light brown, but this color change was very subtle and slow, Xia Ruize only noticed it when he probed through the ability of space backtracking.

Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize were chatting side by side in front, Gao Hexuan was so relaxed that they ignored him, lying on the back of the Gorefiend Bull alone, he was about to fall asleep.

On the way back to the camp, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian met the oncoming team of Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran.

Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran saw the two riding on the horse from a distance and ran over excitedly, shouting as they ran:

“Big brother! Big brother! Please take us in!”

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian continued to move forward to meet them. Gao Hexuan, who was on the back of the Gorefiend bull, was awakened and half raised his head to look at a group of people running from a distance.

“It turns out that Brother Xiao Gao was asking for help? Huh? Brother Xiao Gao, are all your newcomers dead?”

Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran, who ran to the front, also saw Gao Hexuan, and immediately realized that it was Gao Hexuan who had set off fireworks to ask for help.

The two of them took a step forward the day before, but they didn’t see that Gao Hexuan left the newcomer alone and walked alone. At this time, they were surprised to see that only Gao Hexuan was rescued. Naturally, they thought that the newcomers that Gao Hexuan protected had an accident, so they were surprised that they were not the most miserable group, Gao Hexuan’s leadership was obviously not as good as them.

Gao Hexuan bowed his head in shame and said nothing.

Cheng Huaiqian was amused, and replied for him: “Only one person he brought died, it’s better for you to worry about yourself.”

There were only nine newcomers behind Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran, five from Xu Ruoran and four from Cui Fu. Cheng Huaiqian seemed to be able to imagine the humiliating anguish of their journey.

Xia Ruize noticed that Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran were extremely embarrassed, and quickly eased the atmosphere and asked, “What’s the matter with you?”

“Cough, boss Xia, don’t you think it’s almost nine o’clock, it will be dark at nine o’clock, we don’t know how to go tonight, we just wonder if we can ask the two bosses. Stay overnight, we will help each other as a team, and we will be separated in the daytime tomorrow, and we will not disturb you much.”

When the topic returned to business, Cui Fu immediately got serious.

There was nothing they could do either. After Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian sneaked away just now, Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran, who had been impressed by their strength, suddenly remembered that it was about to get dark, take care of each other, and safety could be more guaranteed.

“We found a cave to rest, and we’re not going to travel at night. If you accept it, you can come with us.”

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other, exchanged opinions quickly, and did not refuse.

“Yes, yes, yes, thank you two bosses.”

Although it was a little unexpected to hear that the two bosses were not planning to go on their way, Cui Fu didn’t dare to be picky, and nodded quickly to accept it.

So, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were two horses when they left the camp, but they were followed by a bunch when they returned.

It took more than an hour to return because there were people walking behind, and the newcomers who stayed at the foot of the mountain were already waiting anxiously, guarding the fire to protect the path up the mountain, looking forward to the return of the two captains.

When Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian gradually approached the foot of the mountain, the expressions of the people on both sides were a little stunned when they met.

The newcomers who followed Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian did not expect that they would have the opportunity to see other newcomers, but the state of the other newcomers did not look very good. Except for their two eyes, they were all dirt, and they could not see anything clearly, couldn’t even tell who was who.

The newcomer who was supposed to follow Gao Hexuan with a green watch looked at Gao Hexuan lying on the back of the Gorefiend bull, and felt a sense of joy in their hearts. Fortunately, they chose to stay at that time. If the ten of them followed Gao Hexuan, there may only be four or five people left now.

On the other side, the newcomer behind Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran looked at the newcomer on the opposite side, and couldn’t believe their eyes.

Although many of the newcomers on the other side had dirty and torn clothes, at least their faces were clean and they could see their faces. Most importantly, they were all full of energy, not like they were hungry and thirsty at all. How could they eat the fruit?

The heart was full of doubts, and the newcomers who were following behind Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran couldn’t help but straighten their hunched backs slightly because of fatigue, and didn’t want to be completely compared.

For a while, apart from Xia Ruize’s voice introducing each other to the two parties, there was no other voice. Except for Gao Hexuan, who was silent alone, everyone else was looking at each other and constantly thinking about it.

Just when Xia Ruize finished his introduction and the atmosphere was completely silent, Cheng Huaiqian suddenly asked:

“I think you can fight for another hour, what do you think?”

“Yes!”

As soon as Cheng Huaiqian finished speaking, the twenty-three newcomers answered loudly together. No matter how shocked they were by the arrival of the guests, they did not dare to wander in front of the Great Demon King Cheng.

“Go, clean up the camp.”

Cheng Huaiqian stretched out his hand and patted Xia Ruize’s shoulder twice, and pointed at the six newcomers who were excluded from the core team and instructed with the other hand.

Although these six people were clearly rejected by the two captains, they honestly obeyed the orders and didn’t dare to do anything wrong, for fear of being kicked out of the team to finish the game.

Xia Ruize has tacitly asked Duan to release pheromones in small amounts and multiple times.

After instructing his subordinates, Cheng Huaiqian turned his head to invite Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran:

“You can follow the six of them to camp, and then you can rest.”

Cui Fu looked blankly at Cheng Huaiqian and then at the newcomer holding a weapon in the light of the fire, and asked in a dry tone, “Are the two bosses still resting?”

“I’m going to have a late-night snack, so I won’t rest.”

Cheng Huaiqian replied casually, then waved his hand to indicate that they could leave, while he himself stood at the front of the position, looking at the darkness in the distance, as if waiting for something.

Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran didn’t dare to say anything more and climbed the mountain with the newcomers behind them. However, looking at the six newcomers who clearly belonged to Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, but did not have weapons in their hands, Cui Fu couldn’t help but ask doubtfully:

“Little brother, what are you waiting for?”

One of them rolled his eyes and replied lazily, “Waiting for what? Waiting for the treasure chest.”

“Ah? Then why don’t you go?”

Why would anyone not participate in such a good thing as a treasure chest, Xu Ruoran asked incredulously.

All six people rolled their eyes now, why didn’t they go? What else could it be that the captain didn´t let them go! They didn’t want to answer this question at all.

Not getting an answer, Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran looked at each other, only to see the endless confusion in each other’s eyes. They couldn’t help but slow down and look back from time to time as they walked. As a result, they saw an amazing scene not long after.

They saw more than a dozen cheetahs appear in the area lit by the fire, and they rushed straight to the newcomers on the ground.

“What!”

Xu Ruoran and the newcomers behind them couldn’t help screaming, and the newcomers even subconsciously hid behind Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran.

Cui Fu asked quickly, “Let’s go help!”

Without waiting for Cui Fu to take a step, the newcomer next to him grabbed his clothes. Cui Fu looked over, but saw that the other side was not nervous but impatient:

“You can’t just go over there to cause trouble. If you make Cheng team angry, everyone will be scolded.”

The lucky guys on the field were all lined up in formation, and adding an outsider who didn’t know the inside story may not only be of no help but also disrupt the formation.

Besides, with two captains sitting in town, where did they need support?

After such a delay, Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran failed to rush up immediately, and then watched helplessly as a dozen cheetahs were first killed by Xia Ruize’s arrows, and then blocked and sent away by Cheng Huaiqian’s long knife. The cheetah was leaked behind him.

The newcomers behind Cheng Huaiqian formed a group of four, one group faced a cheetah, and cooperated with each other to besiege the cheetah. Cheng Huaiqian stopped all the remaining cheetahs by himself, until Xia Ruize drew the bow for the second time and solved them all.

Cui Fu, Xu Ruoran, and even Gao Hexuan all stared at this scene. Under their own eyes, those newcomers who were not in their eyes actually cooperated to solve the cheetah?!

Although there were several groups of newcomers who were severely reprimanded by Cheng Huaiqian for their cooperation problems, the final result was that three treasure chests were dropped.

Seeing this scene, the newcomers who followed Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran were so jealous that they almost bit their lips. They tried their best to please the two veteran people, and they did everything possible to get a fruit. Could they get it? Could they eat what they wanted?

No wonder they were in such a good state, they didn’t look thirsty or hungry, and they were even full of energy, it was all because they had fruit to eat!

Seeing this scene, the guests all forgot to keep going up, and stood in place to watch.

The cheetah’s attack was not the end but the beginning. After that, various wild animals continued to besiege them. Cheng Huaiqian, who was at the forefront of the position, was the most solid line of defense, only leaking suitable prey to the newcomers at the back. Other than that, there was no wild animals that could break through his defenses.

Standing at a slightly higher position, Xia Ruize was like a mobile fort. Arrows shot out of his hands like a streamer, and wild animals fell one after another.

When the rookies in the frontline melee combat were tired, they would retreat to Xia Ruize’s side and keep attacking with peculiarly shaped hot weapons.

Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran, as well as the newcomers behind them, were stunned. They just stood there and watched for more than half an hour. During this period, they only saw countless wild animals rushing up, and then they were all killed.

Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize naturally gained a lot, but those newcomers also gained a lot, and they basically earned one to three treasure chests.

Finally, the exhausted newcomers gradually retreated from the front line. After an hour, all the newcomers collapsed on the ground. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian also stopped attacking after finishing the last wave of prey.

“Let’s go, go back.”

Cheng Huaiqian didn’t say anything when he saw Cui Fu and the others standing on the side of the mountain, waving his hand to instruct the newcomers to close the team and go back to the hare den halfway up the mountain together.

He himself walked behind Xia Ruize and massaged Xia Ruize’s shoulders while walking. The two walked back while talking and laughing.

The new recruits naturally followed behind them, calculating how many fruits should be handed in today as they walked.

As for Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran, they followed cautiously at the end.

A fire was ignited in the cave. This cave was originally a hare den to protect against the wind and cold. It was much more comfortable for people to stay in it than to be exposed to the wind and sand in the wilderness.

But what Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran didn’t expect was that they could have more comfortable treatment.

Cheng Huaiqian actually owns a tent! There were soft beds in the tent! They could also fetch water from the tent and lent it to the newcomers to wash their faces and hands.

Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran licked their dry lips. For them, water was precious, but for the boss, the water was actually used for washing?

“This water is not drinkable.”

Li Mingcheng noticed the eager eyes of the guests and explained quickly.

Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize sent their newcomers and guests back to the cave and left again. The two of them were not tired enough to rest, so they continued to kill their prey.

When they were not there, only Li Mingcheng could enter their tent and pour out basins of clean water for the teammates to simply wash up.

Before, Cheng Huaiqian couldn’t bear to see that the newcomers who followed him became dirtier, so he generously gave up some water for the newcomers to wash, and the only order was that the newcomers could not drink the domestic water.

Cheng Huaiqian’s newcomers were of course obedient, and they dare not drink even if they were thirsty.

Now that there were guests coming, Li Mingcheng didn’t dare to take the initiative to give them water, but their eyes were staring at them, so he could only explain.

Xu Ruoran really couldn’t bear it anymore. She got up and went out to find Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize. She couldn’t bear the discomfort on her body anymore. She must borrow water to wash up today!

Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize were actually sitting on the edge of a cliff lower than the cave, chatting and killing their prey with laser guns.

After Cheng Huaiqian heard Xu Ruoran’s request, he pondered for a moment and replied:

“The water can be lent to you, but you have to promise not to drink it.”

All food and drinking water in Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize’s space were blocked, and only the water storage function of this tent remained.

Cheng Huaiqian guessed that the reason should be that the tent’s instructions for use clearly stated that the water collected from the air and condensed could only be used for living, not drinking.

Cheng Huaiqian was worried that if someone drank this water recklessly, the function of the tent to collect domestic water would be forcibly blocked. This was completely unbearable. His teammate relied on this function to take a hot bath every day and then relax, no one could destroy this treatment by sleeping in comfortable clothes.

Xu Ruoran naturally agreed, and after Li Mingcheng personally came to confirm once, he helped Xu Ruoran to draw water, and Xu Ruoran was finally able to wash his hands and face well.

However, apart from Xu Ruoran, no one else dared to disturb Cheng Huaiqian, since it was already so dirty, let’s just endure it.

It was already dark, and several fires were burning in the cave to keep everyone warm. People who were not asleep gathered around the fire to chat in low voices, mainly because Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran were curious about the way Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize led the newcomers.

Just as they never thought that Gao Hexuan would directly give up the points represented by the newcomers before that, they also did not expect that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian would train their newcomers to join the battle.

But now, two different leadership styles had collided, and it was clear at a glance which was better and which was worse than the way they protect the newcomers.

Under the leadership of Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, the newcomer had also become a powerful auxiliary force. Not only did it not burden the two trialers, but it would also help them a lot, and the newcomer could also benefit.

With the way of Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran were leading the team, not only were they under great pressure, but they were all focused on protecting the newcomers, and they didn’t even care about killing more prey to get more treasure chests. At the same time, the newcomers also failed to get too much gain.

The more they got to know them, the more silent Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran became. Instead, the newcomers on both sides enthusiastically exchanged their experiences of living under the hands of people with different experiences.

Looking at the newcomers of Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran’s cowardly and miserable appearance, the newcomers who followed Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian felt fortunate in their hearts. They were fortunate enough to follow the right person, so in just two days, compare to the other newcomers at same starting point, they opened a huge gap.

After chatting to the point of exhaustion, everyone found a comfortable position and barely fell asleep, and there was not even a sound of snoring in the cave.

Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize didn’t return to the camp until late at night. Cheng Huaiqian still set up the tent on the entrance of the cave, blocking the cold wind and keeping a distance from the resting place of the others.

After taking a comfortable hot bath and lying on the bed, Xia Ruize began to calculate today’s gains.

They fought for a whole day today, and more than 20 newcomers who have been trained helped them fight all day. Although the strength of wild animals was not able to solve the prey as easily as the previous day, the income of the fruit was still more than that of the previous day.

The newcomers got 0.8 to 1.5 attribute points respectively, and at the same time handed in nearly 20 attribute points to the two captains.

In addition, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had gained even more.

93 yellow fruits, which could increase the strength attribute, dropped, Xia Ruize kept 43, and gave 50 to Cheng Huaiqian.

There were 154 red fruits that could increase the agility attribute. Xia Ruize kept 74 and gave Cheng Huaiqian 80.

There were 89 blue fruits that could increase the mental power attribute. Xia Ruize left 70 and gave Cheng Huaiqian 19.

White fruits, which could increase physical attributes, dropped 122 pieces, and the two divided 61 pieces.

In just one day, the physical attributes of the two have increased by about 30 points. Such a huge gain made Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who were sitting on the bed and sharing fruits, smile very happily.

Cheng Huaiqian looked at Xia Ruize with a gentle smile. Half of his happiness was due to the improvement of his attributes, and the other half was due to the happiness of his teammate.

Xia Ruize felt the gaze of his teammates, inexplicably restrained his smile, and the small and airtight tent suddenly fell into silence.

Cheng Huaiqian pinched his fingers, coughed lightly, and opened up a topic that had never been discussed before:

“Have you ever wondered what kind of person you would like?”

Xia Ruize looked at his teammates in surprise, but saw that his teammate’s eyes were firmly locked on him, his eyes were full of anticipation, Xia Ruize’s heartbeat couldn’t help speeding up a little, he hesitated for a moment, and finally answered with a smile:

“I haven’t really thought about this…”

“How could that be?”

Cheng Huaiqian asked eagerly, his body leaned forward, his handsome face was in front of Xia Ruize, and he looked at him suspiciously and eagerly.

Although the teammate’s answer implied that he didn’t have a lover now, Cheng Huaiqian was very satisfied, but the literal meaning of the answer made Cheng Huaiqian a little uneasy. He was not a student who was still in school, so life-long events would always be considered a bit.
