[This chapter is relatively short, and it will be over soon. It will only take ten to twenty minutes.]
In the dead silence, the enchanting woman turned around and looked at the crowd. There was not the slightest fluctuation in her pair of slender phoenix eyes. Her scarlet lips parted and she asked in a flat tone, "Who else has an opinion on Xu Xiaoyang being the team leader?"
Xu Xiaoyang kept her head down and played with her braid. She did not say a word, as if what happened had nothing to do with her.
Everyone was quiet. They all had different expressions, but no one made a sound.
Iron Blade, who was crouching in the corner, struggled to get up. He felt a little itchy on his face, so he wiped his forehead blankly. Then, he looked down and realized that his hand was stained with sticky blood. The blood on his hand seemed to agitate him. Iron Blade roared, "Motherf * cker!" and charged at the woman like a bolt of lightning.
"Quick, stop him!" Chen Jinfeng shouted angrily and pushed the taller boy. The boy was startled for a moment, as if he was unwilling. However, seeing that Tie Dao was about to reach the woman, he had no choice but to throw himself at him. He grabbed Tie Dao's waist and pulled him back with all his strength.
Iron Blade might look strong, but when he was grabbed by the taller boy, he could only struggle, kick, and curse. The room was instantly filled with a series of wild roars that hurt everyone's ears.
"Tsk, tsk. There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers," Septimus whispered into Lin Sanjiu's ear.
Lin Sanjiu felt the same way. She had seen it clearly: Iron Saber stomped on the ground and crushed the floor tiles, leaving a shallow pit. With such strength, he did not even have the strength to fight back in front of the woman and the tall boy! "If I were to fight against them …" Lin Sanjiu was a little worried. She stealthily put all her strength into her heel and tried to grind it back and forth a few times. However, the floor was still intact.
"We are all in the same team, but you guys are fighting among yourselves before we even set off!" Seeing that the situation was under control, Chen Jinfeng walked out from the back and said bitterly, "Xu Xiaoyang's strength is obvious to all. We have our reasons for choosing her as our captain. Iron Saber, you can't keep this attitude in the oasis! "
Tie Dao also knew that a wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him. Once again, he was tightly held by the boy's arm. Panting heavily, he could only glare at Chen Jinfeng.
Chen Jinfeng did not mind and ordered the tall boy, "Gao Fei, help to bring Tie Dao to the infirmary …" He looked around and suddenly pointed at Marcie, "Miss Marcie, since Tie Dao is injured, please stay and take care of him. Both of you don't have to participate in today's operation. "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment and quickly exchanged glances with Marcie.
"It's not a bad thing not to go, after all, it's safer here." She lowered her voice and whispered in Marcie's ear. "But can you stay alone?"
When they first met, she remembered Luther saying that Marcie was still a product of his ability, so she couldn't be too far away from him.
Marcie nodded silently, "It's a 20-minute walk, it shouldn't be a problem." As she said that, she quickly glanced at Lin Sanjiu and Septimus and said, "Be careful, you guys." Then, she turned and followed Gao Fei out of the door.
After the three of them left, the room seemed a lot bigger.
Hu Changzai's face was pale. He took a few steps away from the enchanting woman. He was probably intimidated by her ferocious aura. He looked around and found that Lin Sanjiu, who had spoken to him a few times, looked the friendliest. His face was covered in cold sweat as he squeezed a smile at her and stood obediently behind her.
[You are afraid of her, but so am I.] Lin Sanjiu sighed helplessly in her heart.
She looked around and found that Xu Xiaoyang was sitting on a chair in the corner of the room. His legs were swaying as he looked out of the window. Under the white light from the window, Lin Sanjiu's smooth skin seemed to be covered in a layer of powder. Her mouth was pouting like a flower, and she looked young and innocent.
She looked natural and genuine. She definitely didn't look like Wang Sisi, who pretended to be naive and waited for an opportunity to strike. However, how could an ordinary elementary school student … When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she couldn't help looking at the enchanting woman.
That woman still had her head lowered and her face was cold. She didn't look at anyone.
The atmosphere in the room was so tense that it was almost piercing. However, Chen Jinfeng didn't care at all. He hummed a tune as he returned to his desk and started reading his documents. Lin Sanjiu and the others, who were left to the side, waited on pins and needles for a long time. Xu Xiaoyang finally returned. He pushed the door open and called out, "Cadre Chen," when Xu Xiaoyang jumped off the chair and clapped his hands, "You're finally back. Let's go!"
As he spoke, he pushed Gao Fei to the door and said to Chen Jinfeng without turning his head, "We're leaving!"
"Hey, we're leaving already? Good, good. I wish you all a smooth journey and success! "Chen Jinfeng quickly slapped his documents and laughed.
No one paid any attention to him. The enchanting woman had already started following behind Xu Xiaoyang. She then shot a warning glance at the rest of the people. That glance was more effective than anything else. Hu Changzai immediately followed after her.
The six of them walked out of Unit 306 and went downstairs.
When they reached the entrance of the factory, Xu Xiaoyang handed a piece of paper to one of the people before the gatekeeper could ask anything. The man glanced at the paper and looked up at the group. He suddenly pouted and turned to open the metal door. Lin Sanjiu was the last person in the group. When she was about to step through the metal door, she immediately felt the man's gaze roaming over her body. Then, he smacked his lips as if he was a little regretful.
Lin Sanjiu muttered something under her breath as she walked out of the door. Her voice was so soft that even Septimus couldn't hear her clearly. He couldn't help asking, "What did you say?"
"Nothing. It's not important," Lin Sanjiu smiled at him and held onto the metal door as she walked out of the factory area.
Some things were just so strange. They had only walked less than ten steps away from the oasis, but they could already feel the desolation. Behind them was the busy human camp under the illumination of the searchlights. In front of them were the ruins of buildings with deep cracks.
The yellow sand that they hadn't felt for a long time hit their faces again. Xu Xiaoyang stopped and looked around. She narrowed her eyes and asked without turning her head, "Gray, look at the map. Where are the duoluozhong?"
"Gray?"
Everyone was stunned. Then, they saw the woman reach into her pocket and take out a hand-drawn map. Before everyone's surprised expression faded, they heard a young girl's voice suddenly scream, "Oh no! I think I dropped something! "
All five of them looked at Lin Sanjiu at the same time.
"Captain, I'll go over there and look for it. I promise I'll be back soon, okay? Give me a minute, just a minute! "Lin Sanjiu smiled at Xu Xiaoyang." You can't fight duoluozhong without that. "
Xu Xiaoyang was very satisfied with her attitude. His lips curled into a smile, "Okay, go and come back soon."
She then shot a glance at Gray, and the latter nodded slightly.
"Okay!" Lin Sanjiu thanked him as if she didn't notice anything. She turned and ran back to the gate of the oasis. She didn't dare to go too far as she was afraid that Gray would think that she was running away. She looked around and saw that there was still a white line between the broken bricks beside the metal door. She immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing a man sitting by the door stand up, Lin Sanjiu quickly looked up and smiled at him, "Brother, our captain dropped something here just now."
As she spoke, she quickly stuffed the diary card into her palm.
