Chapter 2339 Dilemma and Slippery Slope (Two Chapters in One)
Spiritual world.
The huge sun in the sky slowly moved to the back of the towering mountains. The sunlight shone on the ridge, giving some wild grasses on the ridge a layer of bright red color.
The handsome pig-headed logistics captain walked out of the dormitory and stood under the eaves to look at the sunset in the distance. Under his gaze, some clouds slowly floated in the distance.
"I'm so tired."
"My mission is completed. How are you doing over there?"
"My mission is almost done. I can finish it tomorrow morning after another morning of work."
"Then I'll help you tomorrow morning!"
"Thank you."
Several pig-headed warriors came from a distance and entered the camp.
The sound of their chat floated to the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead and fell into his ears.
"Captain." The pig-headed warrior greeted.
"Everyone has worked hard." The handsome pig-headed logistics captain responded.
These pig-headed warriors who returned to the camp first moved the collected things to the warehouse.
As time passed, half of the sun disappeared and the sky became dim.
The handsome pig-headed logistics captain stood at the entrance of the camp, looking at the exit of the valley in the distance.
"The sun is about to set, and he hasn't come back yet."
Because the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead often returned to the camp on time, the handsome pig-headed logistics captain was not very worried now.
However, when the sun completely set, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had not appeared yet, and he became worried at this time, "He hasn't come back yet, won't something happen?"
The sound of a gong came from the direction of the canteen in the distance, which was to remind everyone that they could have dinner.
The pig-headed warriors came out of the resting place and quickly lined up in front of the canteen.
The handsome pig-headed logistics captain still stood at the entrance of the camp, looking at the dark place in the distance.
"Captain." A pig-headed warrior finished dinner and came to the handsome pig-headed logistics captain and shouted.
"Hmm?" The handsome pig-headed logistics captain turned his head and looked at his men.
"That lord hasn't come back yet?" the pig-headed warrior asked.
"He must have been delayed by something." The handsome pig-headed logistics captain said.
"Will he be in danger?" the pig-headed warrior said.
The handsome pig-headed logistics captain said calmly, "With his strength, he can get out safely even if he encounters danger. You don't have to worry."
The pig-headed warrior nodded, then turned and left to chat with other companions.
When the handsome pig-headed logistics captain saw his men leave, the calm look on his face began to disappear, and then became serious.
In fact, he was not worried at all as he said just now, because since he came here, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead has never not returned after the sun went down.
Now the sun has gone down for a while, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead is still nowhere to be seen. It's hard not to worry.
"He didn't run into rebels, did he?"
"Probably not. There had never been any rebels in that place before."
"It's even more impossible to run into a Blue Star person."
The handsome pig-headed logistics captain's mind was in turmoil, and it took him a while to calm down.
"Huh..."
After taking a few deep breaths, he turned and left the camp gate and went to the cafeteria for dinner.
The more such things happened, the less worried he should be. After all, the handsome pig-headed logistics captain was the person in charge of the camp. If even he lost his composure, if something bad happened later, it would definitely make the situation worse.
…………
"Huh..."
"Boom..."
"Hua La, Hua La, Hua La..."
The wind was blowing hard, lightning and thunder were flashing, and heavy rain fell from the sky, pouring down on the ground.
In this heavy rain, most places were dark, and there was only light in a cave on the leeward side of a small hill.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, had a depressed expression on his face at this time.
He was trapped here today and waited for the rain to stop, but the rain showed no sign of stopping. Even after dark, the rain showed signs of getting heavier.
"What's going on?"
"Why is the rain getting heavier?"
"Now that I haven't returned to the camp, he must be worried."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead knew that his friends would be worried if he didn't return to the camp.
However, he knew it would be like this, and there was no solution at present.
Trapped here waiting for the rain to stop, the rain got heavier, which completely disrupted the plan of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
If the rain still didn't stop tomorrow morning, he had to be prepared to stay in this cave for a few more days.
The rations he brought on this trip were only enough for one day. Even if it rained tomorrow, he had to find a way to get some food.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood at the entrance of the cave, looked outside for a moment, then turned back into the cave and sat down in front of the campfire.
Fortunately, there were many dry branches in this cave, which saved the time of collecting wood.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead picked up some branches from the ground and put them into the bonfire, then he took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it.
There were only a few pieces of dried meat left, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead strung the dried meat with branches, roasted it on the fire, and then ate it.
"Huh..."
The roasted dried meat was a little hot, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead blew it, and then enjoyed the simple dinner slowly.
"Ton ton ton..."
The dried meat was a little salty, and he was thirsty after eating it. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead picked up the water bag and drank several mouthfuls of water in one breath.
Because it was raining outside, there was no shortage of drinking water, so there was no need to save it.
"Boom."
The terrible thunder exploded, and most of the sky was illuminated.
The thunder was so loud this time that even though the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was in the cave, he was still dizzy from the thunder.
"What's going on?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly got up and came to the front of the cave. He looked to the right and was shocked by the scene in the distance.
Although it was raining heavily, a fire broke out in this weather.
Large tracts of forests were burning, and the flames were soaring into the sky. Under the watering of rain, there was no sign of extinguishing.
Some trees in the spirit world will flow with black grease, like oil.
In thunderous weather, if such trees are ignited, a large-scale fire will soon form. Even if it rains heavily, the fire cannot be extinguished for a while.
The wildfire that the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw now has not shown any signs of extinguishing after a long time.
It was more than an hour later that the flames disappeared, but if you could see the fire scene, you would find a lot of smoke floating around.
These fumes are toxic, and they are carried by rain and then merged into the mountain torrents.
In the coming days, the poisonous mountain torrents will cause many ordinary creatures to lose their lives.
"The fire is finally out." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood at the entrance of the cave and looked into the distance. When he saw the fire was out, he retracted his gaze.
This was the first time he had seen the scene that just happened, but he had heard other people mention this kind of thing before, so after the initial shock, his mentality returned to calm.
…………
In Lanxing, because it was time for dinner, every household in the community turned on the lights.
Through the glass, you can see many people busy in the kitchen.
"What a nice smell!" Zhou Yue was sitting in the living room watching TV. When she smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, her stomach suddenly made a sound.
"The dishes are ready, come and eat." Lin Fei walked out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes and shouted in the direction of the living room.
"I'm here." Zhou Yue stood up immediately after hearing this. Just as she was about to leave, she remembered that the TV was not turned off yet, so she immediately picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
When she arrived at the restaurant, she saw Lin Fei coming out of the kitchen with two bowls of rice.
"You must be very hungry after waiting for so long. Come sit down and eat!" Lin Fei looked at Zhou Yue who couldn't wait, put a bowl of rice in front of her, and then handed her a pair of chopsticks.
"Huh..." After Zhou Yue took the chopsticks, she tasted the chopped pepper fish head and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"How does it taste?" Lin Fei asked.
"It's delicious. Compared with before, your cooking skills have improved again." Zhou Yue praised.
Lin Fei picked up a spoon and served Zhou Yue a bowl of tofu soup, then he pointed to the boiled fish fillet, "Try this boiled fish fillet."
Zhou Yue tasted the boiled fish fillet and nodded with satisfaction, "With my knife skills, this boiled fish fillet tastes better."
Lin Fei smiled helplessly, said nothing, and then picked up the chopsticks to eat.
More than half an hour later
"Burp." Zhou Yue, who had eaten and drunk enough, burped. She looked at the table and saw that there were still a lot of dishes left. She said, "I'll have the rest as a midnight snack later."
Lin Fei was drinking soup. Hearing what Zhou Yue said, he said, "I'll pack it for you and put it in the refrigerator later. If you can't finish it, you can heat it up for breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Yeah." Zhou Yue nodded, "If I can get up in the morning, I can heat it up for breakfast."
After dinner, they cleaned up the table and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
After dinner, fruits are naturally indispensable, including strawberries, peaches, pears, watermelons and other fruits.
"I really can't eat anymore." Zhou Yue burped several more times after eating some fruits.
"Just finished dinner, just eat some fruits, why do you eat so much at once?" Lin Fei said unhappily.
"No, it's uncomfortable to sit." Zhou Yue said, then got up from the sofa.
Seeing that Zhou Yue was feeling a little uncomfortable, Lin Fei suggested, "Why don't we go outside for a walk to help digest the food."
Zhou Yue nodded, and then Lin Fei stood up and walked in front of her, stretching out his hand and putting it on her shoulder.
The space teleportation ability was activated, and white light bloomed on Lin Fei's hand, quickly spreading over the two people's bodies.
When the white light disappeared, the figures of Lin Fei and Zhou Yue disappeared without a trace.
…………
The bright moon was in the sky, and the endless sea was shrouded in silver-white moonlight, appearing hazy.
In a coastal city thousands of miles away, two figures appeared out of thin air under the coconut trees on the beach.
"Huh..."
The sea breeze from afar blew towards them, Zhou Yue's black hair fluttered in the wind, and her light-colored dress clung to her body.
"What a strong wind!" Zhou Yue exclaimed, pressing her hair with one hand and the hem of her skirt with the other.
"The night here is pretty good, but the wind is a little strong." Lin Fei squinted his eyes and looked at the endless sea in the distance.
After a few seconds, the gusts of wind from the sea surface subsided.
"Hey!!!"
Lin Fei and Zhou Yue didn't expect the wind to stop so quickly, and they were stunned.
"Hehe... It seems that this sea breeze will not last forever." Zhou Yue laughed like a silver bell.
"Let's go!" Lin Fei said, and then walked forward first.
Seeing this, Zhou Yue hurriedly followed, she looked at the quiet road and said.
"It's so quiet here tonight."
"It's a little quiet, I remember it wasn't like this before."
"Walk forward, you should know what's going on."
"Yeah."
Lin Fei and Zhou Yue had been to this road before, and there were some vehicles on the road even at night, but now they walked on the road for a few minutes and didn't see a single car.
On one side is the endless sea, on the other side is a towering cliff, the road is winding and you can't see the end at a glance.
Lin Fei and Zhou Yue walked on the road for more than ten minutes and saw a warning sign erected in front of them.
"What is this?"
"So that's it."
Lin Fei and Zhou Yue now know why there are no cars on the road.
It turned out that a landslide occurred in front, forcing the road to be interrupted.
Then the two continued to walk forward along the road, and they saw a lot of stones on the road, each stone was more than one person tall.
Although the previous landslide was not serious, these stones rolled down from the top of the mountain, blocking the road, and some roads were also smashed into potholes.
Such a natural disaster should have happened this afternoon, so the staff working on the road section can still be seen at the scene.
"The road ahead is impassable, you should go back the way you came!" An uncle wearing a helmet stopped Lin Fei and Zhou Yue immediately, and the two continued to move forward.
"It's okay." Lin Fei said with a smile.
The uncle wearing a helmet was full of doubts, and when he was about to continue speaking, he saw Lin Fei suddenly stretch out his right hand and hold Zhou Yue's left hand.
"Ah?"
Under the other party's surprised gaze, Lin Fei took Zhou Yue's hand and flew into the air, detached from the road, flew over the sea, avoided the road section under repair, and arrived at a place that was not affected.
"You scared that uncle." Zhou Yue said with a smile.
"It's okay!" Lin Fei said, and then added, "Next time if you encounter such a thing again, find a place where there is no one."
