"Kunshan Tiger Bro?"
While Xiao Hu was in disbelief, Ye Feng finally spoke, "Kunshan? Huh... I didn't expect there to be a place called Kunshan here..."
"I don't know Kunshan Tiger Bro... but I do know someone called Kunshan Dragon Bro. He looked as mighty as you, with dragons and tigers tattooed on him... but in the end, he kicked the bucket..."
"This 'bucket'... it's the character for intestines, not for length..."
He paused, Ye Feng added.
"Pfft!"
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, someone burst out laughing.
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
Ye Feng looked in the direction of the laughter with surprise.
Because the line "Kunshan Dragon Bro, kicked the bucket" was a meme that only people from his previous world would understand, yet a waiter dressed person from the inn had heard him and laughed...
"Could he also be a survivor...?"
A thought flickered through Ye Feng's mind, and he subconsciously looked towards the other person's wrist.
The waiter seemed to realize something and quickly tried to cover his wrist, but there was no bracelet there...
At this, the waiter's heart almost stopped beating!
"Kid, you t—"
"Uh... alright then~"
Hearing that, Ye Feng realized the other person's skin was indeed very red...
"Oh, thanks for the reminder!"
Then, Ye Feng thanked Lu Zhu, as the latter had kindly warned him of the dangers ahead.
"Heh~ You're welcome~!"
Lu Zhu smiled, rubbing his hands. "Explorer sir, the swamp ahead is truly dangerous. Would you two be interested in purchasing some supplies? We have gas masks, as well as various firearms and ammunition!"
"This guy..." Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were both speechless.
They had initially thought Lu Zhu was kindly warning them, but now it seemed he was trying to sell them something...
"Oh, no thank you~"
Ye Feng waved his hand and opened another bottle of cola, clinking glasses with Xiao Xiao.
"Then... enjoy your meal~"
Lu Zhu was not embarrassed or angry. He greeted Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao and then continued to busy himself with other customers.
And all the while, the waiter who had understood "Kunshan Dragon Bro, kicked the bucket" remained nervous, fearing Ye Feng might suddenly do something...
Ye Feng didn't pay attention to the waiter, who was likely a survivor. After enjoying a barbecue with his cola, he and Xiao Xiao continued their journey in the Hummer.
...
After crossing the small mountain ridge where Lu Zhu was located, the Hummer drove for only a short while before it had to stop because a large swamp lay ahead.
Although Lu Zhu had wanted to sell them goods and make money, he hadn't lied to them.
"Big brother, this swamp is so vast, I can't see the end of it!"
After observing with binoculars, Xiao Xiao said to Ye Feng.
"Hmm! Indeed!"
Ye Feng nodded. He looked at the direction pointed by the arcane compass on his wrist, and then observed the endless swamp for a moment. Finally, he gave up the idea of taking a detour.
Immediately, Ye Feng took out some supplies from his spatial storage, placed them into some of the used spatial rifts, and then put the Hummer into his spatial storage.
"Xiao Xiao, be careful. The swamp might suck you in, and the mist might be poisonous!"
Ye Feng instructed Xiao Xiao, who was wearing tall rubber boots, while taking out the horn of the one-horned headless beast he had obtained on the way to Desperate City.
Because the horn of the one-horned headless beast would change color when in contact with poisonous substances, they had used it to avoid many poisonous water sources before...
"Drip, drip!"
Ye Feng, also wearing rubber boots, walked around and dipped the horn of the one-horned headless beast into several places. The water showed no discoloration.
"It seems the water in this swamp is not poisonous!"
Ye Feng made a judgment and then walked forward with Xiao Xiao in the direction indicated by the arcane compass.
"Drip! Hiss! Gurgle!"
"Chirp! Drip!"
"Gurgle! Plop! Gurgle-plop!"
...
As Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao walked further, the swamp became muddier and the water deeper. Ye Feng sank almost up to his thigh with one step...
In the end, Ye Feng simply took off his rubber boots, carried Xiao Xiao on his back, and walked barefoot in the swamp.
After all, with his current physical condition, ordinary swords and blades couldn't harm him, and this water was not corrosive...
"Big brother, there's some kind of creature over there, it looks like a person... holding a weapon..."
"It's obscured by the swamp mist... I can't see clearly..."
At this moment, Xiao Xiao, holding the binoculars, spoke to Ye Feng.
"Big brother, it's an Energy-Devouring Water Monkey!"
Xiao Xiao adjusted the direction of her observation and exclaimed.
