Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 246: Legend of the Blood Clan (30)

Shi Qi finally arrived at the relatively "prosperous" area in the west of the city. After settling down, Shi Qi had no desire to sleep, so he stayed by the bed.

The woman's delicate and pretty face was filled with a hint of sadness.

In fact, Shi Qi is indeed like that.

There is definitely more than one monster alien. Their origins are unknown and they pose a huge threat to the vampires. She can fight them once or twice, but what about her people?

This time she had just arrived in the west district and encountered an alien. She had never heard of it before. It was not difficult to see that this was a special gift prepared for her by the person who controlled the monsters.

Or has this alien already spread throughout the vampire race?

Thinking of this, Shi Qi immediately sent people to monitor several other districts in real time.

Shi Qi had a vague feeling that this alien was related to Terles, but he couldn't do this alone. So who was supporting and operating it behind him?

"Cough...water...uh cough cough" a man's weak voice sounded, interrupting Shi Qi's thoughts.

Shi Qi came back to his senses and saw Wen Liang's chapped lips. He habitually picked up the teapot on the table, but when he poured the water into the teacup, he found that the water in it could not even fill the cup.

He frowned, then he remembered that this was the west district of the city, and even this mouthful of water was very precious.

Shi Qi helped Wen Liang to stand up and handed him a teacup.

Wen Liang took it and blinked hard, seeing the scarce water, it was like an oasis in the desert. The dryness and burning pain in his throat reminded him to drink up the half glass of water quickly.

But when he saw the woman's pale and flaky lips, he paused holding the cup and said, "I... am not that thirsty. You drink it."

Shi Qi felt warm in her heart when she saw the man who was obviously dying of thirst but still conflicted.

"Do you think I will put myself in a difficult position? There's no need to give it to me. I drank half of the pot before you woke up, and this is all I have left. The water supply will take another two days to arrive. Are you sure you don't want to drink it?" Shi Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Liang with a smile.

Wen Liang froze, and suddenly felt that his behavior was extremely stupid!

She is the king of the vampire clan, how could she be thirsty?

Thinking of this, Wen Liang stopped hesitating and picked up the cup and drank it all up without saying a word.

The cool and delicate water slid down my throat, and the warmth and coolness made me feel that the burning pain in my throat was relieved a lot.

"But Wenliang, I can't tell that you are so worried about me." After the man finished drinking the water, Shi Qi leaned closer and said with bright eyes.

"Who... who was worried about you. I'm just not that thirsty." The man avoided her sight and got back into bed.

Then he said sullenly, "Thank you for carrying me back today. It's getting late. Go to bed."

"Then I'll stay here..."

"Your Highness, men and women should not touch each other. You should go back to the next room."

Seeing this, Shi Qi did not stay any longer. Before leaving, he looked back at the bulge in the quilt and said with regret: "Wen Liang, I still like you when you played Yin Su, you were so cute and obedient. Otherwise, you can..."

"Stop making so much noise and go to bed!" The muffled groan from under the quilt was obviously a bit angry and annoyed.

I don’t know if it was because he disliked Shi Qi’s noisiness or because he disliked his own heartbeat.

No sleep for one night.

……

The next day, the two woke up early and went to the busiest market to find out what was going on.

But this market is by no means normally lively.

It's just hot, noisy, and even scary.

Looking around, there were very few vendors and shops on the street, and there were mostly weeds and dead bodies that were disappearing in the sun on both sides of the road. Probably because of the lack of water, many vampires showed their sharp fangs and gnawed each other's blood in exchange for a brief moment of moisture.

The whole street was in complete chaos and disorder.

A vendor's voice suddenly rang out: "Everyone, please don't hurt your companions. There is a tank of water here. Please save... Ugh."

The peddler was drowned out by the crowd before he could finish his words.

In an instant, a group of people surrounded the water tank completely.

All their military strength and combat value were actually used to fight for water resources.

After a while, those with less strength were squeezed out, staring at the little bit of water on their hands, sucking it madly with their eyes wide open.

The jar couldn't stand the crowding and broke, water splashed everywhere. A group of people rushed to it again, but before they could drink it, the water was instantly sucked up by the thirsty earth.

People suddenly became violent and started fighting, and the kind-hearted vendor had already been beaten to the ground.

A gust of wind blew, mixed with dust and a fishy smell, as if blowing the scene just now closer again, causing Wen Liang to frown.

Shi Qi looked at the scenes in front of him and was so shocked that he was speechless.

Among them were hungry children, who were held in the arms of their weak mothers and cried loudly.

Shi Qi was about to go forward to ask, when a vendor next to him came forward and kindly said, "You two are from out of town visiting relatives, right? This is a water supply point. With all the noise, I guess there's no water left. There are two more stores to the west, and they should have some water. You guys should go quickly, or you won't be able to get a sip of water until dark."

After saying that, the vendor secretly gave Shi Qi a small bag of sour fruits to quench his thirst.

“Thank you, how much is this…” Shi Qi was about to pay when he was stopped by the vendor.

"Shh, my sour fruits are our last insurance. If they find out and snatch them away, we won't be able to survive until we get the water supply. Take them and leave quickly, and don't make any noise!" The vendor said, then looked at the people who were still fighting in front of him, then hurried into the store and closed the door.

"It seems that the drought is more serious than we thought. We have to repair the canal as soon as possible, but it is difficult to get the people to help." Wen Liang said.

"Yes, unless the water supply is delivered in time, it is impossible for them to repair the canal with us before that." Shi Qi said lightly.

"Well, let's go forward and take a look at the situation. There are a lot of sour fruits. I see that woman is holding a child, she looks weak and helpless. I'll go and give some to them." Wen Liang said and wanted to go over.

But Shi Qi stopped him: "No, they can't keep it even if we give it to them."

Wen Liang was puzzled. He turned around and saw Shi Qi's cold and indifferent expression. His heart sank and he felt a little hurt. "Your Highness, I thought... you would be different from those nobles. Forget it, don't worry. I will only give them my part. I don't want any of yours. Is that okay?"

"That's not what I meant. Since you know that they are weak and helpless, if you give them this sour fruit, they may not be able to..." Shi Qi explained calmly.

But Wen Liang's mind was already hot. He took some sour fruits and hurried towards the mother and son without even turning his head to listen to Shi Qi finish speaking.

Shi Qi looked at the back that was rushing towards him, then looked at the group of refugees who were like hungry wolves, and was speechless for a moment.

"Even if you give it to them now, they may not be able to eat it..."

"This kid looks smart, but he's actually quite reckless."

It’s okay to be kind, but you have to be clear about the prerequisites.

Otherwise...it might just become foolish kindness.

Shi Qi shook his head, but followed.
