The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 83 Rain
Huo Ying did not sleep well. He was woken up by the stuffiness while it was still very early in the morning.

Outside the window, there was not a trace of wind and the sky was a little cloudy. Upon closer inspection, tiny crystals were falling from the sky, like a layer of gauze, floating in the air.

Liang Yao had already cooked the meal. Seeing Huo Ying looking out the window, she couldn't help but whispered, "It's raining."

Huo Ying nodded, then tore off a piece of cloth from a corner and threw it out of the window.

The rain fell on the cloth strips, only wetting them but not corroding them.

Liang Yao saw Huo Ying's action, stretched out her finger, and touched the tail of Huo Ying's clothes with some heartache: "Rainwater has no parasites. Many people collect rainwater as drinking water when it rains. I will also collect some. You have to find a way to find the courier to exchange a piece of clothes. If you continue like this, your clothes will be unwearable."

In the end times, any resources have become extremely precious, including Huo Ying's clothes which have many holes on them.

"No need to fetch water, we have enough water." Huo Ying shook his head. After mastering water jutsu, even if it was only the elementary level and without many ninjutsu, he could use chakra to create water out of thin air, and this water was cleaner than rainwater.

"The zombie riot is over. According to the schedule, the courier should be here today."

Huo Ying calculated the time, then dressed neatly, put on the giant hammer on his back, and put his Yang sword in place.

"You should be careful at home. If there is any danger, hide in the basement. Also, I have changed the lock of the basement. Once you lock it, it will be difficult to open from the outside." Huo Ying instructed. He used earth escape to strengthen the door and lock of the basement. If an outsider wants to destroy the door of the basement from the outside, it will be difficult to destroy the door that is comparable to diamond unless heavy weapons are used.

"If someone violently destroys the gate, you must immediately stay away from it. Don't get close to it, and don't even look at it." Huo Ying was a little worried, so he gave another warning.

He also pushed the box that sealed the Mirror Ghost next to the door of the basement. If the door was opened normally, there would be no impact. If someone destroyed it violently, the box would be shattered by the huge force. Even if the destroyer was powerful and avoided the highly corrosive sewage, he would be dragged into the mirror world by the Mirror Ghost and forced to fight with the factory monsters.

"Don't worry, I've remembered everything." Liang Yao nodded vigorously, indicating that she had remembered everything.

Huo Ying pushed the door open.

The rain has gradually become heavier, dripping on the ground like pearls that have broken off a string.

Huo Ying walked into the rain, tiny water droplets splashed on the wooden armor, and soon Huo Ying disappeared in the rain.

Before Huo Ying reached the town's highway, he heard the sirens from the courier's horn.

Fearing that there might be some monster in the rain that could confuse him, Huo Ying roasted the red yang stone and made sure it was not hot before approaching the road.

The courier came by bus again. He was holding the steering wheel in boredom. When he saw Huo Ying coming, he jumped out of the car in a hurry.

"Finally someone is here. I've been here for quite some time." The courier breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you guys couldn't handle the zombie riot, and Ailing Town has also become a ghost town."

"Brother, I got what you asked me for last time." The courier took out a box from the bus and then pulled out a stack of blueprints. "XN City does have the design drawings of the shelter, but most of them are conceptual drawings, designed by experts, but never actually built. Moreover, the drawings are very complicated, and it is difficult for one person to construct it."

"However, if you can see it, you can still refer to it. It is impossible to find the blueprints of a shelter that can be built by one person."

Huo Ying quickly scanned the drawing and frowned secretly. Many of the symbols and annotations on the drawing had specific meanings, which Huo Ying had never learned before and found difficult to understand for a moment. He could only figure out by understanding the graphics that solid lines usually represent visible outlines, while dotted lines represent invisible outlines.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the blueprints to be so troublesome." The courier rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said, "How about this, if you can't use it, I'll take it back and exchange it for something else. You spent so much charcoal, and it's a loss to get something you can't use."

Huo Ying looked at the courier in surprise. He didn't expect that the courier would be so righteous and would care whether he would suffer any loss or not.

"Hey, brother, what are you looking at me with? I'm just an errand boy, earning my hard work fee. The fairer and more satisfied you traders are, the more work I'll get." Noticing Huo Ying's look, the courier straightened his back. Huo Ying made him a lot of money on the last transaction, so of course he had to find a way to keep Huo Ying as a big customer.

"It's okay. I've kept the drawings. They are still useful for reference." Huo Ying put away the drawings. There is a library in Ailing Town. If he really can't figure it out, Huo Ying should go to the library to look for the definitions of the symbols. As long as he can understand most of them, Huo Ying can use earth escape technique and wood escape technique to build a fully functional underground shelter.

The rain was still falling, and shallow puddles had formed on the ground. In the rain, the sound of shoes stepping in the water could be heard.

Zhang Famao and his son Zhang Zhanhong rushed over. When they saw Huo Ying, Zhang Famao was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of disbelief, while Zhang Zhanhong lost his temper, screamed "Oh my God" and ran straight to Huo Ying.

"Brother, you are so cool. You actually carry the hammer like this. Oh my god, this hammer..."

"Zhanhong!" Before Zhang Zhanhong could finish his words, Zhang Famao scolded him harshly and then glanced at the courier.

Zhang Zhanhong understood his father's hint and quickly changed his words: "Although this hammer is hollow and very light, if you carry it like this, everyone will know that it is just for show."

In the doomsday, everyone has to be on guard, especially the couriers, because they not only trade materials but also information. Zhang Famao intends to make friends with Huo Ying, so he deliberately keeps the secret for Huo Ying, because Huo Ying carries the hammer too easily. As long as the true weight of the hammer is not revealed, it is difficult for outsiders to estimate Huo Ying's combat effectiveness.

Huo Ying nodded and greeted Zhang's father and son. He didn't expect that the people he met this time were all very nice. The courier had a clear bottom line, and Zhang's father and son also followed the rules. There were finally more people worth contacting in the town.

The courier glanced at the hammer on Huo Ying's back. He saw that the Zhang father and son winked at each other, but he still felt that the giant hammer was hollow, because Huo Ying asked him to exchange the mechanical arm. If Huo Ying was a power-type infected person, he would not pay a high price to exchange for such a mechanical arm that would not last long.

How could a non-power infected person, or an ordinary person, carry such a large solid hammer?

The courier pushed the box in his hand to Huo Ying: "These are the vegetables I promised to get for you. Vegetables that are too precious will not be available in the market. I have tried my best to get you a few more varieties as long as they are common in the market. It will be hard to find more."

After talking to Huo Ying, the courier looked at Zhang and his son again: "I got the pistol you wanted, but the price you offered is not enough. I brought the pistol with me. The trader told me that I can let you inspect the goods, and the price must be at least doubled before I can exchange it with you."
