"A mushroom needle?"

"The mushroom forest is constantly shifting, and it's hard to find without the finger mushroom needle. If you get lost in the dust and fog, you'll most likely die at sea."

The mushroom forest is actually mobile?

This was indeed a blind spot for Zuo Le. He took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

"What is your name, elder brother?"

"Liu Guodong." The boatman didn't stand on ceremony, taking the cigarette and putting it in his mouth.

After lighting a cigarette for Liu Guodong, Zuo Le also took a cigarette and was about to light one for himself.

He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!

Tuqi's words flashed through my mind...

No smoking!

Zuo Le subconsciously turned his head and glanced in the direction of the bow of the ship.

The figure at the bow of the boat did not move, let alone remind him about smoking.

But Zuo Le still took the cigarette down, looked at it in his hand, gave a dry laugh, and put it back.

Well, it's not that I chickened out, it's just that I simply didn't want to smoke anymore.

When he is with Tuqi, he finds it difficult to maintain his original natural personality and is often influenced by her.

In addition to those vague memories from before.

There's still a possibility that he cheated on the other party.

Zuo Le felt that it was better for her to keep a low profile.

Tuqi, who was at the bow of the boat, also noticed Zuo Le's little movements behind her. Even before that, she had noticed the way Zuo Le looked at her.

But she only slightly curled her lips behind the mask, saying nothing.

The small boat began to drift until the propeller stopped.

Tu Qi, who had never spoken, suddenly turned around and walked up to Zuo Le, extending her jade-like finger:

Give me your wallet.

"Huh?" Zuo Le was taken aback for a moment, but still obediently took out his wallet.

Then, right in front of him, Tuqi took out all the several thousand yuan from her wallet, leaving none behind, and stuffed it into her own pocket.

Zuo Le curled her fingers, then silently put them down.

"Never mind, my sister took it too."

Looking at the empty wallet that Tu Qi handed back, Zuo Le could only console himself with these words.

Chapter 98 He disrespects you, I'm going to kill him.

When Tuqi returned to the bow of the boat, Liu Guodong couldn't help but speak up:

"You're such a coward, she stole your money and you didn't even dare to say a word?"

Zuo Le looked up, opened his mouth, and gestured with his hands, trying to make some excuses for his behavior just now.

But when the words were about to come out, he realized he had no words.

Because I did flinch a bit just now, which is inconsistent with my usual decisive and profit-driven personality.

But how can he explain it?

Does that mean I only act out of character in front of this woman?

Zuo Le scratched his forehead, feeling a bit annoyed and embarrassed because he couldn't figure out the answer.

"Row your boat."

Liu Guodong shook his head and poked Zuo Le's chest:

"Hey, give me another one, I want to have something to say to you."

When will this person ever stop?

Zuo Le thought he still needed to learn some ship handling knowledge from him, so he could only sigh and offer the other man another cigarette.

Liu Guodong, puffing on Zuo Le's cigarette, slapped his thigh, smacked his lips, and began his sharp commentary:

"Brother, don't blame me for criticizing you, but I could tell at a glance that you and she have a history. You don't even dare to smoke, and you have to hand over your money. What's the point of living like this?"

Although Liu Guodong's description was somewhat exaggerated, coincidentally, his remarks did not deviate from the facts and even somewhat reflected them.

However, Zuo Le still stubbornly argued back:

What nonsense are you spouting?

As Liu Guodong rowed, he waved to Zuo Le:

"We're all sitting at the same table, don't argue. My wife bosses me around every day, how could she not understand you?"

Zuo Le: ? ? ?

Zuo Le didn't know how he ended up sitting at the same table with him. He glanced at Tu Qi at the bow of the boat and forcibly changed the subject.

"Stop with the nonsense, let's talk about the ship and the mushroom forest."

"Tch, what's so interesting about sailing? Let me tell you, it's actually very simple to win a woman over. If she's stubborn, just fuck her hard until she submits. Once she's satisfied, she'll behave."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Le covered his face, fearing that Tu Qi would stab them both to death if she heard it!

"And what about you? Why are you still being controlled by your wife?"

"How can that be the same? I'm 41."

After the henpecked husband episode ended, the two returned to their main topic and began discussing knowledge about sailing and lawless zones.

The small boat glided slowly through the night fog for another half hour.

Zuo Le, who was chatting with Liu Guodong, suddenly stopped. His gaze pierced through the gray fog ahead and gradually saw a faint light on the sea.

At first, the lights were just scattered specks, but as the ship approached, the lights became denser and gradually merged into one.

It looks like phosphorus powder floating on the surface of water.

"What is that?" Zuo Le looked at Liu Guodong hesitantly.

"We're here. The mushroom forest is just ahead." Liu Guodong nodded proudly to him.

As the small boat drew closer, a light shone in Zuo Le's pupils.

It is the light of the mushroom forest.

A group of glowing mushrooms grew from below the water's surface all the way up to several meters above the sea.

The larger ones are as big as a house, with purple and blue fluorescent threads hanging down from the edges of their canopies.

The smaller ones, only the size of a fist, are densely packed in the gaps between the larger mushrooms, like little decorative light bulbs.

The entire mushroom forest resembles an island floating on the sea, with intertwined mycelium and roots forming a thick base.

Simple houses were built on top of the buildings, and people lived there.

"This is simply a miracle!"

Staring at what was in front of him, Zuo Le was somewhat shocked.

This beautiful place was completely different from the gloomy, dilapidated, chaotic outlaw community he had imagined.

"Isn't it beautiful? I was quite surprised when I first came here."

The small boat passed under a huge mushroom-shaped canopy.

Zuo Le looked up and saw that the inside of the umbrella-shaped canopy was covered with tiny, glowing spores. He wanted to reach out and pinch them, but stopped before touching them.

He was simply afraid the mushrooms were poisonous.

Upon seeing this, Liu Guodong gave a thumbs-up:

"Wow, you're pretty vigilant. This stuff is indeed poisonous, but it's usually not fatal. At most, it'll make your face swell up for a week."

"Excessive curiosity in unfamiliar places can only lead to danger."

The small boat continued to glide through the gaps in the mushroom grove.

The air around us was filled with a damp, sweet scent with an earthy smell, completely different from the fishy smell of the outer ring dock.

Liu Guodong stood up from the stern and tapped the nearest mycelium column twice with his paddle.

A muffled echo came from not far away, and then someone poked half of their body out from behind the mushroom bushes, holding a lantern in their hand and waving it at them.

"here!"

The contact person used an iron hook to hook the small boat, and then began to call people to move the goods.

When Zuo Le saw this person clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked:

"Holy crap, you idiot?"

The contact in front of me was a black man with flat features, curly hair, and a rather noticeable body odor.

They all clearly stated that this person's skin wasn't simply dark; it was a genuine racial difference.

In the world after the Dark Star Cataclysm, are there other races?

Just as Zuo Le was marveling at what was happening before her, Tu Qi, standing at the bow of the boat, finally turned around and looked at Liu Guodong:

"Free time. Meet here at 3 a.m."

"Row."

Seeing Liu Guodong preparing to tie the rope and get off the boat, Zuo Le also got up.

Unexpectedly, Tuqi turned to him again:

"Come with me."

Tu Qi's voice wasn't deliberately changed, but it completely lost its previous stickiness and allure, leaving only endless coldness.

Judging from her tone of voice now, Zuo Le couldn't connect her with the girl from before at all.

"it is good."

Zuo Le had no choice but to get up and follow Tu Qi.

As soon as he disembarked, he placed his hand on his weapon, adopting a defensive posture.

The two walked over the mushrooms and gradually reached the very center of the mushroom forest.

A lot of people have gathered here.

The majority of them are of Asian descent, but there are also some with different skin colors, including white, black, and Southeast Asian people.

Without exception, they all had fierce eyes and exuded a clear bloodlust.

Zuo Le immediately realized that these people all had lives on their hands, more or less.

Zuo Le couldn't help but be wary of such a person.

But the more vigilant he became, the more wary the people in the mushroom forest became, locking onto them with equally wary eyes.

Until Zuo Le met an acquaintance.

The man who usually went to the old gate alone to pick up goods, the martial artist carrying a large sword, and Mr. You, who was very humble and polite.

You can play.

Upon seeing Tu Qi and Zuo Le, You Kewei was taken aback and immediately stood up and bowed to Tu Qi.

She then nodded to Zuo Le behind her.

Tu Qi, who had been silent the whole way, finally took off her coat and handed it to Zuo Le, who was standing next to her, but she was still wearing a mask.

Looking at You Kewei, Tu Qi took out a red envelope from her bosom and handed it over:

"Congratulations on your success, You Kewei."

Zuo Le, who was holding the clothes, was somewhat surprised. She didn't expect that Tu Qi and You Kewei knew this outlaw.

Zuo Le pouted.
