[Ah, I'm so sleepy. I get hungry at this hour. I really want to eat meat. In the previous chapter, there was a sociopathic personality. Damn it, he used so many words to make pig trotters! He's not human at all. He should be expelled. Today's chapter will start later. It should be around one o 'clock. If you guys don't want to wait, you can go to sleep.]
Lin Sanjiu felt like she was in a daze. She slept for a long time.
There were a few times when someone woke her up and asked her some questions. She didn't know who the person was, and she didn't even know what she answered. It was as if there was a bag of water wrapped around her head. Everything she said was muffled and unclear.
Lin Sanjiu had never been so tired. Her brain could barely function. Even if someone stabbed her in her sleep, Lin Sanjiu wouldn't be able to wake up.
She didn't know how long she slept, but the thing that woke her up was her hungry stomach.
The aroma of wheat wafted into her nostrils, tickling her nostrils all the way to her stomach. Only then did she slowly open her eyes.
Her vision was immediately filled with a bread bag that was slightly opened.
"See, I told you. You're not dead!" B.Rabbit's smug voice rang out. The bread bag moved as if it wanted to move back. "You can wake me up with food!"
Lin Sanjiu felt like she hadn't eaten for a year. There was food in front of her, so how could she let it run away? She leaped up with a movement that was too fast for someone who had been asleep for a long time. She pressed the bread bag to the ground.
If Xueqin didn't retract her hand quickly, she would have broken two of her fingers.
"Ah? What's going on? I'm here … Where am I? " Lin Sanjiu tore a big piece of bread with her teeth, but the bread took up all the space for her tongue to move. "Fat … Fat Kuyan …"
"I know, I know," Xueqin knew what Lin Sanjiu wanted to say, but she couldn't help putting on a look of shame, "Take it slow. Let's talk after you finish eating. We still have a lot of time."
After biting her tongue twice, Lin Sanjiu swallowed the whole piece of bread with tears welling up in her eyes. Only then did she have some time to spare. She looked around her surroundings.
Since she had just woken up, she couldn't see anything in the dark. While she was eating, Xueqin took out her [Ability Polishing Agent] and shone it around her. Finally, she could see where she was.
This … seemed to be the inside of a ball.
Lin Sanjiu was too embarrassed to say that it was a Special Item when she looked at the crude handwork and the uneven ground. She walked forward to take a look and found that there was a large plastic sheet hanging around it. Lin Sanjiu didn't know how many layers of plastic sheet there were, but it blocked the light from entering the room.
Through the plastic sheet, she could hear the familiar "hua hua" sound of the liquid flowing into her ears.
Lin Sanjiu spun her head around and stared at her companions, whom she had not seen for a long time. Her jaw dropped.
"Don't tell me … we went back to the roots?"
"Ah, you're right." Rabbit's fur looked as if it had been gnawed by a dog, but it couldn't hide the arrogance on its face. "We didn't do anything. We just built this' boat 'while you were asleep. Now, we are going against the current and heading back."
Lin Sanjiu looked at her companions in a daze. There were so many questions in her mind that she wanted to ask them, but the question that had been stuck in her throat was the first to blurt out, "Where's Hui Chuyan?"
"Don't worry. She's not at the apple tree," Xueqin said. She pushed Rabbit, who was about to speak, back to Lin Sanjiu. She was afraid that Rabbit would talk about something else, "Her time limit is up. She was transported away while she was still in the roots."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment. Then, she remembered that Hui Chuyan did tell her that she didn't have much time left. However, she felt that it was too sudden for her to come so early.
"Even though she seemed to be unconscious when she was transported away, it's better than being absorbed by the apple tree," Xueqin said. She couldn't help shuddering even though she was usually expressionless. "Those things are really weird …"
"After you fell asleep, we didn't know what was going on, so we rested there for a few days … In the end, we saw those snake-faced people eating the apple …" one of the twin sisters added softly. For some reason, it sounded as if she was feeling guilty.
"If we continued to stay there, we were worried that the snake-faced people would find us sooner or later." Her tone sounded as if she was trying to defend herself.
"Sigh …" The other twin sister, who seemed to be the elder sister, suddenly let out a long sigh.
Not only did the two of them look a little dejected, even Snow Cherry looked embarrassed. Her face was so red that it could be seen through her beard. Xueqin glanced at them and pursed her lips coldly. Obviously, she knew why they were like this, but she didn't want to say it out loud.
In the end, it was Rabbit who spoke.
"Those snake-faced people looked very angry. They dragged away the other corpse that you probably killed. They even checked the apple tree from top to bottom. It wasn't easy for us to hide from them … After they left, we woke you up and interrogated you a few times. Finally, we figured out what you know. "
Rabbit seemed to be a little embarrassed when he said that. After some time, he cursed angrily, "That son of a bitch is so useless. I'm not going to cover for him!" Then, he continued, "After knowing the effect of the meat apple, error code 517 took advantage of the time when we were cutting off the tree bark to build the boat …"
"… and secretly ate two meat apples."
Amidst the sound of flowing liquid, a young man's calm voice came from outside the plastic sheet. Lin Sanjiu was startled.
It was only then that she realized that error code 517 wasn't in the 'ball'.
She only knew the group of five through Rabbit, so she wasn't familiar with them. The light inside the ball was dim, so she didn't notice that one of them was missing.
"Why … Why is he outside?" Lin Sanjiu was shocked. "What … what's going on?"
This time, even Rabbit didn't say anything with an ugly expression on his face.
The awkward silence lasted for a few seconds before the young man outside the ball boat answered her. His voice seemed to be deliberately maintained in a calm and flat tone, "… Sister Lin, let me say it. They are ashamed of me now, so they don't want to talk about it. "
"Sister Lin, we've been together for a few days. Have you seen my ability? That's normal because my ability isn't anything special … Oh, don't ask me what it is. It's all in the past anyway. "
"I've had enough of relying on others for help and holding them back. Since I have such an opportunity, why shouldn't I fight for it? After all, those people are as good as dead … I can't just suffer for nothing, can I? "
Lin Sanjiu listened to him in a daze. This was completely beyond her expectations. She didn't expect that one of the companions she rescued would choose to eat those meat apples …
"You don't have to eat all of them. You just need to dig out the parts with the bulging veins and live reactions and eat them. That's enough." Error code 517's tone was still forcefully calm. "You didn't let me down. The two meat apples I ate gave me a great reward … I think it's worth it."
Before Lin Sanjiu could say anything, Spring Cherry suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice, "What about us? Are the few of us not as important as those two abilities to you? "
There was a long silence outside the ball ship.
After a while, Error code 517 spoke again. He seemed to be chuckling, "Brother Snowy … If it weren't for my two abilities, would we be able to swim all the way back? I don't care what you think of me … After all, we are friends, and Sister Lin is my savior. I will pull the ship back to the surface no matter what. "
Lin Sanjiu finally understood that the reason the ship could move against the current was because of 517 pulling it from the outside!
This time, even Lin Sanjiu was speechless. He obviously looked down on what he did, but he had to rely on him to get out. With the current situation, it was no wonder B.Rabbit looked so aggrieved.
She waited for a long time, but no one said a word. Lin Sanjiu vaguely heard 517 sigh from outside. Then, the ship fell silent.
The sound of flowing liquid was the only sound that accompanied them for the entire journey.
The journey back was much longer than the journey to the ship. Error code 517 seemed to be working himself to the bone. Every day, other than coming in to eat something, he didn't even sleep. He would go back to the outside to pull the ship. Lin Sanjiu tried to persuade him a few times, but she was silenced by the distant look on 517's face.
"Forget it. Everyone has their own fate," Lin Sanjiu muttered to herself.
She had been unconscious for more than a week. After traveling for another month, they finally learned from 517 that the light in the root was getting brighter and brighter. It seemed that they were nearing the surface.
Following the direction that Lin Sanjiu had given them, they walked all the way to the place that she had dug out. When they were almost at the end, they broke through the hard skin of the root and finally returned to the world.
When the long-awaited sunlight once again shone on their bodies, almost everyone felt as if they had been separated from reality for a lifetime.
On the same night that Error Code 517 escaped, it quietly disappeared without saying goodbye to anyone.
"Actually, I didn't scold him too harshly …"
"Maybe he can't get over it," Lin Sanjiu sighed softly as she rubbed the rabbit's head, which seemed to be in a daze.
Right now, there was something else that was a little urgent.
