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 calmly, "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 Sword, who was hiding 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 have awakened him. Iron Sword 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 stunned for a moment, and he seemed a little reluctant. However, seeing that Iron Sword was about to reach the woman, he had no choice but to jump forward and grab Iron Sword by the waist. He exerted strength in his arms and forcefully pulled Iron Sword back.
Although Iron Saber was terrifyingly strong, after being hugged by the big boy, he could only struggle, kick, and curse. The room was suddenly filled with bursts of wild roars, which were so deafening that it hurt people's ears.
"Tsk, tsk. There are so many 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, but 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 shouted bitterly, "Xu Xiaoyang's strength is obvious to all. We have our reasons for choosing her as the team leader. 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 gripped 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. "
… Huh? 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 that Luther had said that Marcie could not be too far away from him.
Marcie nodded silently. "Twenty minutes shouldn't be a problem." As she spoke, she quickly glanced at Lin Sanjiu and Septimus and said, "Be careful." Then, she turned around and followed Gao Fei out of the door.
After the three of them left, the room seemed a lot bigger.
With a pale face, Hu Changzai moved away from the enchanting woman in a few steps and quickly went to Lin Sanjiu's side. With a face full of cold sweat, he squeezed out a smile and stood behind her obediently.
[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 shining through the window, her smooth skin seemed to be covered with a layer of powder. Her mouth was pouting like a flower, and she looked young and innocent.
Her expression looked natural and genuine. She definitely wasn't like Wang Sisi, who pretended to be naive and waited for an opportunity to strike. "But would a real elementary school student be so calm?" When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she couldn't help looking at the enchanting woman.
The woman still had her head lowered and her face was cold. She did not look at anyone.
The atmosphere in the room was so tense that it was almost piercing, but 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 for a while. Finally, Xu Xiaoyang returned. The moment he opened the door and called out, "Cadre Chen," Xu Xiaoyang jumped off the chair and clapped his hands. He laughed, "You are finally back. Let's go!"
As he spoke, he pushed Gao Fei to the door and said to Chen Jinfeng without turning his head, "Let's go!"
"Hey, we are leaving already? Good, good. I wish you all a smooth journey and success! "Chen Jinfeng quickly slapped his documents and laughed loudly.
No one paid any attention to him. The enchanting woman had already started to follow behind Xu Xiaoyang. Then, she shot a glance at the others. Her eyes were filled with a strong sense of warning. That glance was more effective than anything else. Hu Changzai was the first to follow.
The six of them left Unit 306 and went downstairs.
When they reached the entrance of the factory, Xu Xiaoyang handed a piece of paper to one of them before the gatekeeper asked anything. The man glanced at the paper and looked at the group of people with a meaningful look. Then, he turned around and opened the metal gate. Lin Sanjiu was the last person in the group. When she was about to cross the metal gate, she suddenly 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 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, there were ruins of buildings with deep cracks.
The yellow sand, which 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 duoluozhongs?"
"Gray? Is she calling for that terrifying woman? " Just as this thought appeared in everyone's mind, they saw the woman put her hand into her pocket and took 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 will go over there and look for it. I promise I will be back soon, okay? Just give me a minute, just a minute! " Lin Sanjiu clasped her hands together and pleaded to Xu Xiaoyang with a smile, "You can't fight duoluozhongs without that!"
She didn't seem to think that it was embarrassing to call a girl who was as tall as her and was wearing a school uniform captain in front of everyone.
Being asked for permission by an adult — Xu Xiaoyang raised the corner of his mouth a little proudly. "Alright, go and come back soon."
Then, she shot a glance at Gray. The latter nodded slightly.
"Okay!" Lin Sanjiu pretended that she didn't see anything. She thanked Gray and ran back to 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 iron gate. She immediately let out a sigh of relief. A man sitting by the door stood up. Lin Sanjiu quickly looked up and smiled at him, "Brother, our captain dropped something here. I will leave now —"
As she spoke, she quickly stuffed the diary card into her palm.
