Beneath the gloomy clouds, the sky was vast and boundless.
As far as the eye could see, there were only clumps of ugly, knee-high plants that rustled in the wind for a few kilometers. Humans had long since melted into nature's vengeance. Occasionally, there would be a stucco pillar that looked like a traffic light. That was the only thing that could make people sigh, "Ah, so this was a road a few decades ago."
In such an environment, Lin Sanjiu and her companions examined their surroundings carefully, but they couldn't figure out where the culprit was hiding.
"Could it be that the culprit is hiding in the bushes?"
Even though it was a little hard to imagine, Lin Sanjiu still asked Xueqin in a low voice, "Do you have that —"
Even though her words were vague, Xueqin immediately understood what she meant. She took out a packet of dried noodles from her bag and took out a small folding knife from her right hand. With a slash of the knife, she immediately caught the chopped noodles and stuffed them back into the bag.
Then, she swung her hand and countless slender whip shadows flew out from her wrist with a whoosh, hitting the grass with a crackling sound. The noodle was so fast that it smashed many plants into pieces. Leaves fluttered in the air. Many disgusting creatures crawled out of the bushes in panic, but there was no sign of a human.
"No matter how many times I see it, I just can't get used to this strange ability," Bai Xiaoke mumbled and called out to the gigolo.
The muscular gigolo, who was only wearing a pair of beach shorts, walked cautiously toward the metal railing.
"How is your smitten ability any better than mine?" Xueqin didn't stop but she couldn't help retorting.
The two of them had practically turned into a pattern. Both of them moved very smoothly.
They swept through the bushes, but there was no one there. Seeing her companions' efforts, Hui Chuyan seemed to be very anxious. She opened and closed her mouth, but not a single word reached their ears.
"It seems that even sound has been blocked," Lin Sanjiu said softly. Her expression didn't change, but she suddenly raised her voice so that it could be heard even from afar, "Who did it? Why are you looking for us? Why don't you come out and talk? "
Xueqin and Bai Xiaoke subconsciously glanced at her.
All along, they knew that Lin Sanjiu was a calm person. But this was the first time they had seen such a calm demeanor — no, that's not right, calm wasn't the right word.
The tone of her voice when she asked. It faintly revealed a terrifying calmness, and it seemed as if she didn't take the matter before her to heart at all.
Xueqin frowned. Lin Sanjiu gave off the feeling that she was a player in a video game.
"Don't waste your effort. You won't be able to find me!" A duck's voice rang out without warning. Xueqin's thoughts were interrupted. "You've trespassed into our leader's territory! What, you want to walk out so casually? "
It was good that someone responded, and this person didn't seem difficult to deal with. For a moment, everyone was relieved.
Lin Sanjiu returned to her usual demeanor. She smiled, "What do you want? Tell us."
As she spoke, she casually took two steps forward and looked at the iron bars that trapped Hui Chuyan.
The duck's voice paused for a moment before he spoke again. Apparently, he had used some kind of trick to hide the source of his voice. Once he spoke, it was as if his voice echoed from all directions, "It's simple. Leave all the food and you can leave."
Even though Xueqin's backpack was like a hiking backpack and contained a lot of food, most of the food had been converted into cards and kept by Lin Sanjiu. Even if they left all the food behind, it wouldn't be a big loss.
When Xueqin saw Lin Sanjiu nodding at her, she threw the backpack on the ground angrily and shouted, "Is that enough? Let them go! "
The duck's voice fell silent. No one knew what he was thinking. Only the sound of the wind could be heard. After a while, he spoke slowly, "There are four of you, but you only have one backpack. I asked you to leave all the food behind, but you agreed so readily? It seems like you have other places to hide things. "
[You can survive in an apocalyptic world.] [They are indeed not simple.] Lin Sanjiu knew that she had been a little careless this time, but she didn't show it on her face. She replied naturally, "No amount of food is more important than my companions. I advise you to stop while you're ahead. We can find more food … But if you don't let them go, don't blame us for using force. "
The duck's voice fell silent. It was obvious that he was considering what to do.
After all, there were quite a few of them. No matter how tempting the food was, he couldn't help but think about the risk.
Lin Sanjiu walked around the railing and even tried to reach her hand out from behind Hui Chuyan. Even though there seemed to be nothing behind Hui Chuyan, no matter how far she stretched her hand, she couldn't even touch a corner of Hui Chuyan's clothes.
It felt as if Hui Chuyan was locked in a small space by herself.
The iron railing was obviously a function of her ability. It wasn't a physical object, so she couldn't turn it into a card or use her [Mosaic Censorship] to blast it open. When she was at her wits' end, the duck gritted his teeth and spoke again, "It's not that I'm greedy! It's just that your food isn't enough for us. Hand over … hand over a month's worth of food and I'll let them go! "
[That's impossible.]
"You guys think of a way to hold him back. I'll find him," Lin Sanjiu whispered to Xueqin and Bai Xiaoke.
When Bai Xiaoke heard what Lin Sanjiu said, an idea suddenly came to her mind. She put on a worried expression and said, "Brother … Our food is with that girl. If you don't let her go, we won't have anything to eat, let alone you."
Xueqin quickly agreed, "That's right! Otherwise, why do we have to exchange for her? "
In the ears of the man with the croaky voice, Lin Sanjiu's words sounded more believable than the "friendship" that Lin Sanjiu had said. He was instantly caught in a dilemma. He didn't know whether he should believe her or not.
"How do I know if you're telling the truth?" the duck asked cautiously with the wariness of a young girl.
When Xueqin and Bai Xiaoke heard him, they had no choice but to argue with him for a long time. During this time, Lin Sanjiu didn't say a word. She just kept fiddling with something in her hand.
"Tell me more," Lin Sanjiu said in a very low voice.
A line of words quickly appeared on the white card in her palm, "My ability hasn't leveled up yet. This is the most detailed information I have."
It was the Diary Card.
When the Diary Card recorded an event, it would sometimes include some details. For example, "The cute girl looked very happy", "Chen Jinfeng was making love at his desk", "The girl blushed when Gong Daoyi was talking" and so on. The level of detail was limited by Lin Sanjiu's ability, so she didn't always have it.
But even so. Lin Sanjiu keenly noticed something. The Diary Card only recorded facts. It wouldn't be fooled by any tricks.
This time, the information it gave was: "A rough male voice came from the sky."
"No wonder I couldn't find him..."
"But do I have to fly?" Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly, "I'll be a dog first. Then, I'll be a birdman? "
The other two people heard her muttering and leaned over. From the duck, it sounded like the three of them were discussing something in low voices.
That was normal. He waited patiently for a while as he tried to come up with an idea.
The thought had just occurred to him that he should have called for more of his brothers. The women below him suddenly spoke. He pricked up his ears and listened for a while. He suddenly felt a little awkward, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Speak louder. "
"We said —"
Bai Xiaoke dragged out every word. While she spoke, Lin Sanjiu quickly climbed up one of the escort's shoulders. The escort lowered his squatting stance and Xueqin climbed up from his other knee. Fortunately, the two women were thin and the escort was tall, so he managed to accommodate the two of them.
"Your — request —" Bai Xiaoke's slow tone could make anyone anxious.
"Are you ready?" Lin Sanjiu asked. Xueqin nodded quickly. Xueqin quickly stood up from the escort's shoulder.
The moment she stood up, Lin Sanjiu grabbed her ankle.
She did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her strength had increased recently. This feeling was immediately confirmed in the next second.
Xueqin, who was lifted by Lin Sanjiu by her feet, flew into the air like a cannonball. She extended her arms and thousands of long whips lashed out. With a few swift and violent swings, the whips covered a large part of the sky.
Was it not high enough? Lin Sanjiu raised her head and looked at the sky. She didn't feel very worried.
Her emotions did not fluctuate at all.
Xueqin, who should not have been able to touch the clouds, suddenly whipped away a dark cloud in mid-air. When she tumbled down from the sky. Accompanied by a miserable cry, the dark cloud fell to the ground with a thud.
Without waiting for Lin Sanjiu's order, the escort had already shot out like a lightning bolt and pressed down on the large piece of dark cloud. The few of them came closer to take a look. The dark cloud gradually turned from a cloud into a transparent raincoat.
Wrapped in the transparent raincoat was a small boy. He had a rather intelligent appearance. He looked young, at most eighteen or nineteen years old. At this moment, he was like a fish out of water. He was struggling under the escort's hand.
When he saw the three of them surrounding him, he finally sighed, "Alright, alright, I will let you go. But don't hurt me."
Lin Sanjiu had other plans for him.
"Did you just say the leader …? What do you mean? "Lin Sanjiu asked with a frown. Her tranquil state of mind seemed to have disappeared again.
The boy took two deep breaths before he answered reluctantly, "This area with a radius of more than ten kilometers belongs to our boss, Dyer!"
"Let me tell you, he thinks highly of me. You better let me go as soon as possible!"
