The system made it very clear and emphasized repeatedly that if she didn't follow the group of people below, the chances of her finding Feng Ci would be zero.
Shi Sheng pondered over the Iron Sword for a long time. In the end, he slapped his thigh. What was there to be afraid of?
If anyone dared to come up and seek death, she would just fight them!
Anyway, she didn't have anything else except time and unlimited resurrection buffs. She wasn't afraid of anyone.
…
The group of people below had already rescued the people from before and brought them far away. The leader of this team was a woman. Perhaps for convenience, her long hair was tied into a bun, and a few strands of sweat-soaked hair were stuck to her cheeks.
Although she was also in a sorry state, she had the aura of a leader. The entire team was obedient, and no one dared to disobey her.
"Captain Jian, according to our map, this is the place. There is a large patch of green vines in front, which proves that there is water here. However, we don't know where the source of the water is. If it is underground, it will be troublesome." A man leaned in front of the woman and pointed at the map with a worried expression.
The woman called Jian Yi took the map and looked at it. Her fingertips traced a marked route and stopped at a certain spot. "It can't be underground. Go and ask those people just now. They were attacked by the vines just now, but they still wanted to go in. They must know something."
"They refused to say a word." The man was a little helpless. He had asked them just now, but they didn't say anything. They just looked at them with the numb eyes that they had been incomparably familiar with for the past few years.
That numbness made them feel like walking corpses.
"Not a single one?" Jian Yi returned the map to the man. "I'll go and take a look."
She went to the place where those people were placed and asked a few people in a row. Indeed, it was similar to what the man said. No matter what she asked, they didn't say a word.
"We are not bad people." Jian Yi finally stopped in front of a teenager. "I'll ask you a few simple questions. You only need to answer yes or no. Nod if yes, and shake your head if no, okay?"
The teenager looked at Jian Yi a little timidly. Perhaps it was because Jian Yi was a woman, she didn't make a fuss when she spoke, so the teenager was much less guarded. He carefully looked at the muscular man behind Jian Yi. He pursed his cracked lips and still didn't want to speak.
Jian Yi glanced at the man behind her. "Go away first."
"Captain Jian …" Although these people were refugees, in this world, who knew if he was a beast in human skin?
These people were just people they had just met. They were not brothers like them who had known each other for many years and had crawled their way through this desert world. They were not brothers who could trust each other with their backs.
Therefore, at this time, the man was unwilling to leave Jian Yi. If anything happened to her, he would not be able to go back and answer to the others.
"It's fine," Jian Yi said. "Go and tell them first. I'll be done soon."
The man looked at the young man and then at Jian Yi. In the end, he agreed and left the place.
Jian Yi and the young man stayed there to talk. Time passed by slowly. About half an hour later, Jian Yi came over. "There is indeed a water source here. The last time they came, these attacking vines only surrounded the water source, but this time, the water source disappeared."
Previously, they suspected that it was covered by the vines and wanted to lead the vines away. However, before they could do so, they encountered the incident just now. Then, they were saved by Jian Yi and the others.
"So, how are we going to get the water now? If we can't get it, we might not be able to hold on. There's not much water left in the base."
Jian Yi pondered for a moment. "Ask them to come over."
Jian Yi and these people discussed whether there was a way to lead the strange vines away. However, no one could come up with a good idea.
"This is the only water source nearby. If we can't get water, we might die here."
"Captain Jian, you have to think of a way."
"There are still so many people in the base. If we can't get water, how are they going to survive?"
"Captain Jian …"
Jian Yi waved her hand and motioned for them to stop. Everyone seemed to respect Jian Yi very much, so when Jian Yi asked them to stop, they really stopped and looked at Jian Yi with eager eyes.
"Let's go back first." Jian Yi pondered for a moment. "Let's bring them back first and then think of a way."
They were only here to investigate today and didn't plan to get water directly. It was a complete accident that they met so many people.
Shi Sheng only landed on the ground after Jian Yi left. She stared at the vines in the distance, slowly pulled out the Iron Sword, and walked towards the vines.
…
Jian Yi didn't take long to return with her people. However, as soon as she returned, she was dumbfounded. It was completely different from when she left previously. The vines were piled up on the ground and were in a withered state.
In the middle of these vines, there was a small lake. The lake was dark blue and formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding yellow sand.
At the edge of the lake, a young girl was sitting. One of her legs was bent and the other was placed casually. She sat at the edge of the lake without any care for her image. She was holding a strange Iron Sword in her hand and poking the surface of the water from time to time, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the water.
Jian Yi was a little stunned when she suddenly saw such a scene. However, her instincts soon told her to be vigilant.
She reached out and gestured for the people behind her to not move. She walked forward carefully alone.
"Excuse me …" Jian Yi asked tentatively.
Shi Sheng tilted his head and looked over. His eyes happened to meet Jian Yi's gaze. His eyes seemed to have merged with the lake behind her. They were as blue as the sky.
However, there wasn't a single trace of warmth in those blue eyes. It was so cold that it made people feel cold.
Jian Yi's palms were sweating for no reason. She clenched her fists and asked again, "Excuse me, what happened here? Why did these vines become like this? "
At this moment, Jian Yi felt very similar to when the world had just become like this. That inexplicable fear was spreading like a virus. You clearly knew the source, but you couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
Jian Yi held her breath and waited for Shi Sheng's answer.
Shi Sheng inserted the Iron Sword into the sand beside him and stood up slowly. He raised his chin slightly, looking like a very 'big boss'. His tone was even more arrogant. "Because I got rid of them. Of course, they became like this."
"You?" Jian Yi's first reaction was doubt.
Her gaze swept past Shi Sheng and landed on the withered vines around her. 'Is this a joke?'
How could this girl get rid of so many vines?
Shi Sheng was very confident. He puffed out his chest and said arrogantly, "I was sent by the heavens to save you from the fire and water."
Jian Yi: "???"
[…] Host, you're going to be struck by lightning for showing off. Save it!
