Lu Xiaofang didn't dare to delay. It would be safer for her to leave early, since she had a clear destination and there would definitely be someone to meet her there.
She bought the cheapest anti-radiation suit, which cost her only 10 silver coins.
Since we're all going to die anyway, what does a little pollution matter? We might as well save the money for the Xiaochu.
There's no way to cut corners when it Peddler's Box; if she didn't own property, she wouldn't even be eligible to rent it.
Yes... Both the Gorilla Beast and the " Peddler's Box " were rented only by mortgaging her and Xiaochu's house.
In any case, she will definitely make it back alive.
The box will definitely be returned.
She and the Xiaochu cannot lose their house.
Even if the Xiaochu moves in the future, it can still fetch a good price.
After a long and anxious journey, Lu Xiaofang finally saw the Test Site 49 in the distance.
Compared to her previous ambitions, this time she was cautious and even a little pitiful.
In short, admit defeat first.
Leina's persona was no longer viable, so she switched to the innocent and pitiful persona.
I have to act.
What if I survive?
Lu Xiaofang had just adjusted his persona and was about to greet the guards of Liu Family Village and request permission to enter the village when... a loud bang!
About ten meters in front of her, a deep crater was blasted open.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, making one's nose itch.
Lu Xiaofang stood there, stunned. She didn't need to act anymore; her eyes were filled with... pitifulness.
How terrifying!
This village... is truly terrifying!!
Chapter 88
Gunpowder testing is still somewhat dangerous, and even with Xiao Yunjie supervising, some minor injuries are inevitable.
The Hunter had never witnessed the power of gunpowder before, and being young and full of vigor, their curiosity outweighed their fear. As they peered out, fragments of gunpowder hit them, but fortunately, they had medicine with them, so apart from wincing in pain, they were not seriously injured.
Pain is a good thing; it helps us remember and be more careful next time.
Xiao Yunjie personally set up the gunpowder in the trap and then personally detonated it. When it exploded with a loud bang, the Guard Team outside the village were all shocked.
fear!
What the young lady is researching... is terrifying!
Then they grinned from ear to ear; this terrifying thing was actually used to protect the village.
Great, even the pungent smell of gunpowder smells nice now.
Song Xiaozhu wasn't present, but she knew the gunpowder test was a great success because she kept hearing Xiao He's voice on her end. " Leadership Value +500, Leadership Value +100, Leadership Value +100, Leadership Value +100..."
The Hunter who participated in the test all gave her Leadership Value admiration.
Song Xiaozhu beamed with joy.
good.
This Leadership Value concerned with people's livelihood, not just food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but also urban defense construction.
In general, as long as the villagers live and work in peace and contentment, her Leadership Value will skyrocket, and her "purse" will become bulging.
Song Xiaozhu was full of energy. While organizing the Raw Material in the small box, she formulated an Automatic Synthesis recipe. The Raw Material were continuously transformed into various synthetic substances.
The synthesized items are placed in the "warehouse," and the shop's employees sell them to the villagers, earning them some Transaction Value.
Compared to Leadership Value, Transaction Value is utterly insignificant.
If it weren't for the fear of disrupting the village's order, Song Xiaozhu would have loved to give it away for free.
Outside the village, the thick smoke dissipated.
It was Xiao Tong, with his sharp eyes, who spotted the beautiful female con artist.
" Leina!"
Xiao Tong instantly transformed into a beast.
Xiao Yunjie was recording data from the explosion crater, which contained some steel knives. These knives had been shattered by the explosion, and the fragments of steel were quite lethal. If an enemy were to step on this "landmine"—named by Song Xiaozhu —it would be enough to blow them to pieces and severely injure enemies within 3 meters.
Hearing her son's voice, Xiao Yunjie stopped taking notes, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. "Don't panic."
"Come, that's Miss's guest."
Xiao Tong's eyes widened. "Ah..."
Xiao Yunjie didn't offer any further explanation, simply handing the notebook to Xiao Tong and saying, "Take it back to the shop."
Xiao Tong: "Okay!"
He thought his mother wanted him to inform the young lady, but little did he know that Xiao Yunjie already had a communicator and had immediately informed Song Xiaozhu about the arrival of the fake Leina.
Xiao Yunjie stepped forward and greeted Lu Xiaofang: "Miss Leina, this way please."
Lu Xiaofang dared not underestimate the lady before her at this moment. She said politely, " Madam Xiao, just call me Xiaofang. Um, my surname is Lu."
Xiao Yunjie remained polite. "Miss Lu, please come with me."
Lu Xiaofang didn't dare to say anything more, and followed cautiously beside her, keeping her eyes straight ahead.
This is the big boss's secret base. If she sees something she shouldn't, she might not even be qualified to return the " Peddler's Box ".
Don't look, don't listen, and speak less.
Take the goods obediently and leave as soon as possible.
Lu Xiaofang silently reminded himself.
Xiao Yunjie didn't take her to see Song Xiaozhu, nor was there any need for her to. With the communicator, she could contact Song Xiaozhu at any time.
Moreover, the specific arrangements are quite simple; Song Xiaozhu had already explained them to her in advance.
Lu Xiaofang followed Xiao Yunjie cautiously, keeping her eyes straight ahead, barely daring to breathe.
Xiao Yunjie led her into the house and said, "Miss Lu, you've come all this way, haven't you had lunch yet?"
Lu Xiaofang: "?"
Xiao Yunjie: "The goods are ready. Miss Lu, please pick them up after you have lunch."
Lu Xiaofang then came to her senses. "... Okay."
What's there to eat? She has no appetite.
Could this be the legendary last meal before execution?
You're really meticulous, sir.
A moment later, a Hunter brought over a lunchbox.
Lu Xiaofang sat at the table with her back ramrod straight. Although it was an ordinary stone bench, she felt as if she were sitting on a bed of nails, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
