Chapter 101: Earth Escape Ability

Before the end of the world, some people said that if a person kneels for too long, he will never be able to stand up again.

In his life, Wu Xuegui had only kneeled at the graves of his parents after their death, and recently he had knelt for Zhao Yin and Gao Feng.

He didn't know when his stiff knees became so easy to bend, but only this time, he didn't feel any humiliation in his heart.

Bang bang bang!

"Boss, I have no way of repaying your kindness in this lifetime. I can only kowtow to you a few times."

Zhao Yin looked at his weak face and remembered that he had only fed Wu Xuegui a few leaves to save trouble, so he took out a few more leaves: "Do you want more chestnut leaves?"

Wu Xuegui now knew the value of this leaf. After taking it, he hesitated for a moment, but soon lifted it up decisively: "Boss, my injury will be fine in a few days. How can I continue to waste your extraordinary medicine?"

Zhao Yin said, "I will leave here tomorrow. I promised that girl that I would leave a batch of supplies for you. You should also leave the leaves behind."

Just a few leaves, enough to treat the injuries of ordinary people, but for the evolvers, each treatment requires several kilograms, and the contracted beasts need even more.

Wu Xuegui no longer refused and carefully put the leaves into his pocket.

"Boss, you are usually very busy. Miss Xiaodao not only has to take care of your food and daily life, but also has to take care of Monkey and Cow. You must need someone to wash clothes and cook for you, right?"

After Wu Xuegui finished speaking, he pulled Wang Xiaolei in front of him and said, "Her name is Wang Xiaolei. Three generations of her ancestors were soldiers. Her great-grandfather died in World War II, and her grandfather died in the counterattack. Now her father... the whole Wang family is full of loyal martyrs, and she is the only one left...!"

"Boss, leave her by your side to do the laundry and cooking, and just give her some food scraps!"

Only then did Zhao Yin realize that Wang Xiaolei was the daughter of Captain Wang.

The only descendant of the martyr?

Zhao Yin frowned and thought. It was the end of the world now and everything had turned to dust. He would not look at the other person differently because of his identity.

However, he does need manpower now, not to do the laundry and cooking, but to collect corpse crystals for him.

Every time after killing zombies, collecting corpse crystals is a hassle.

Zhao Yin thought seriously for a moment and said.

"When I leave tomorrow, I can take you with me, but if you encounter danger, I will not care about your life or death. On the contrary, I don't keep useless people around me. If you follow me, you must obey and work hard, and you may even die at any time!"

"Boss, in this doomsday, if we don't follow you, we will have no way to survive. We can't blame you if we die." Wu Xuegui said immediately.

What Zhao Yin said was "take you guys with me", instead of just taking Wang Xiaolei with me, and Wu Xuegui was happy.

Who would be willing to die if they could live?

Zhao Yin continued, "When I find a faster way to collect corpse crystals in the future, I will let you go."

"Boss, if we cannot demonstrate our value by your side, we will leave on our own without your order," said Wu Xuegui.

Zhao Yin was very satisfied with his answer and nodded: "Let's cook first!"

He took out the cooking utensils and ingredients, handed them to Wu Xuegui, then led Song Xiaodao and the contracted beasts into the stealth tent.

After a tiring whole day, both humans and animals need to rest.

Outside the tent, Wu Xuegui set up several large pots and lit firewood. Smoke soon rose in the cave. Half an hour later, the food was brought into the invisible tent.

Zhao Yin was lying on the quilt petting the cat and looked up.

Judging from the color and aroma of the dishes alone, Wu Xuegui's cooking skills are much better than Zhao Yin's. As for how much better than Song Xiaodao...

That girl can't even cook fish soup properly!

Zhao Yin felt more and more that accepting Wu Xuegui was the right decision.

Wu Xuegui and Wang Xiaolei put down their food and prepared to leave. Zhao Yin suddenly asked, "What are you eating?"

"To answer your question, boss, there are still some food scraps in the pot. I can fill my stomach by adding some water." Wu Xuegui became more respectful.

Zhao Yin frowned. Isn’t it just water for washing the pot?

"Boss, you use high-end ingredients. The food we eat now is much better than before." Wang Xiaolei also said.

"Song Xiaodao, give each of them a bowl of chestnut porridge, half a bowl of fried crispy vegetables with dried meat, and half a bowl of fish soup, and take them outside to eat." Zhao Yin ordered.

Since they are working for themselves, the salary they deserve will naturally not be less.

Song Xiaodao agreed and picked up the bowl and chopsticks to pack up.

Neither Wu Xuegui nor Wang Xiaolei expected Zhao Yin to be so generous.

The most precious thing in the end times is food. Wu Xuegui was worried that Zhao Yin would not take him in, but he didn't expect that he would get to eat food that he would never dare to imagine in normal times!

"Boss, Xiaolei and I haven't done anything, how can we feel embarrassed..." Wu Xuegui took the bowl handed to him by Song Xiaodao, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Take the food and get out."

Zhao Yin said, "After dinner, go wash all the dirty clothes outside the door."

The bedding and clothes soiled by Gao Feng and others were still piled outside, and Zhao Yinben was planning to ask Song Xiaodao to wash them.

"Yes, boss." Wu Xuegui and Wang Xiaolei walked out with the food.

The next morning, Zhao Yin woke up early and walked out of the invisible tent. He saw clean clothes and bedding hanging in a ventilated place in the cave.

Zhao Yin called Wu Xuegui, threw the breakfast ingredients to him, and walked into the cave where the crispy ear vegetables were.

Previously, Zhao Yin had planned to take away the roots of the crispy ear vegetable, but now that he had the life space, his idea was completely different.

He first pulled all the vines off the rock wall, then dug them out along with the roots and put them into the life space.

After leaving the cave, he collected the half-dead chestnut tree roots.

Song Xiaodao and the contracted beasts had already left the stealth tent and were watching Wu Xuegui making breakfast when Zhao Yin shouted.

"Old Black, come here."

Lao Hei immediately rushed to Zhao Yin and said, "Master."

Zhao Yin raised his hand and pressed it on Lao Hei's head. The next moment, Lao Hei felt his body lighten. Then the scene in front of him changed and he came to an unfamiliar space.

"Master, where is this?" Lao Hei was alert instinctively. He used his huge body to protect Zhao Yin behind him, and his rat eyes were alert everywhere.

"Don't panic, this is my life space." Zhao Yin comforted.

Lao Hei relaxed all over and looked around curiously.

Zhao Yin pointed at the ground under his feet and said, "How long will it take to dig a pit with a diameter of 700 meters and a depth of 300 meters?"

He planned to take away all the water from the cave's lobby.

Such clean water sources are rare nowadays, and we don’t know when we will encounter them again.

"It won't take long."

"How fast can it be? About a few hours?"

"Very soon!" Lao Hei communicated in his mind.

Zhao Yin frowned. Does this mouse have no concept of time?

He still didn't ask any more questions. He moved all the chestnut tree roots and crispy ear vegetables to the edge of the space. Then Zhao Yin looked at Lao Hei who was standing in the center of the space: "Hurry up, start digging!"

"Yes, master." Lao Hei nodded.

The next moment, the soil under Lao Hei's feet began to ripple, as if it had liquefied, and then gradually spread until it covered an area with a diameter of 700 meters.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Hei's body sank rapidly, and the circular land with a diameter of 700 meters was also sinking, and the soil under Zhao Yin's feet was squeezed upwards.

Ten seconds later, Lao Hei crawled out from the bottom of the pit.

"Master, the work is done."
