In the southwest, Li Shentan was walking alone on a small path in the vast forest. The path was only the width of a car, and the ground was muddy after the rain.
He was carrying a fishing rod on his shoulder and a fish basket on his waist.
There were two huge river prawns swimming in the fish basket made of bamboo strips. He had also tied up three crabs' pincers and legs with hemp rope. The crabs looked like they weighed one to one kilogram each. If they were before The Cataclysm, they would have been the standard crab kings.
"Little Liren, did you see clearly what that black shadow in the river was?" Li Shentan asked.
Si Liren's sweet voice came from the sky. "I didn't see it clearly."
Li Shentan pursed his lips. "It was quite scary."
"It's fine, it can't beat me," Si Liren comforted him.
"I was worried that I would be eaten by it before you could save me." Li Shentan smiled and said, "But I was quite lucky today. Although I didn't catch any fish, I caught quite a lot of prawns and crabs."
At this moment, the sound of a car driving in front of them was getting closer. Li Shentan stood there calmly.
When the car was in danger, the driver who was holding the steering wheel was shocked when he saw Li Shentan. "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! "
The driver honked frantically, but Li Shentan just stood there like a rock. He did not move at all.
The driver stepped on the brakes, but the car could not stop at all because of the mud on the ground. The middle-aged man clenched his teeth in the car and wanted to run over Li Shentan. He could not turn the steering wheel, or the car would flip over.
But when the off-road vehicle arrived in front of Li Shentan, the little girl in the sky descended from the sky. However, she only saw a small fist smashing hard on the hood of the car.
This punch caused the entire rear of the off-road vehicle to tilt up. Then, the entire vehicle rolled into the sky in front of Li Shentan and landed in the mud behind Li Shentan.
"Li Shentan, the beautiful girl is here to save you!" Si Liren said happily.
Li Shentan smiled. He didn't reply. Instead, he turned to look at the off-road vehicle with its four wheels facing the sky. "How tragic."
The driver was stuck in the car seat, and his whole body was suspended in the air. He cursed in the car, "Are you blind or what? You … "
Before he could finish, Si Liren floated over and straightened the car. Then, she easily lifted the old man from the backseat.
The old man looked terrified. Li Shentan smiled and said, "Nice to meet you. My name is Li Shentan."
When the name Li Shentan came out, the old man looked even more terrified. "How did you know I would come here? What are you trying to do?!"
Li Shentan smiled and said, "It looks like you don't know anything about my power. But don't worry about such unimportant things. What I'm curious about is, didn't the Kyung Clan just surround the stronghold? How did you manage to get out of their encirclement?"
The old man's expression sank. "Just what are you trying to do?"
Li Shentan muttered to himself, "Oh, I understand now. You made a deal with that devil, Qing Zhen. That's why you were able to abandon the entire Li Consortium and escape by yourself. Where does this road lead to? There's a mountain road up ahead that leads all the way to the Central Plains. That's why you're trying to escape to the Central Plains."
At this moment, Si Liren said, "Brother Shentan, there's a lot of gold bars in the car!"
"Mhm." Li Shentan nodded. "Before you left, you even took away all the gold in the Li Consortium's bank. It should be enough for you to become a rich man in the Central Plains, right?"
The middle-aged man hid in the car and did not dare to make a sound. The old man roared, "Li Youbai, kill him with a gun!"
But no matter how the old man shouted, the middle-aged man did not dare to move.
Li Shentan smiled and said, "Even after escaping, you still remembered to bring your son with you. It's just that your son is quite useless. The Li Consortium has really fallen into depravity in your generation."
In Li Shentan's opinion, the Li Consortium did not live up to its name. It was just a small warlord in a remote corner of the Southwest.
He said to the old man, "Patriarch of the Li Consortium, let me guess what kind of deal you made with that devil, Qing Zhen."
The old man's sparse long hair, which was originally covering the top of his head, was now scattered in front of his forehead because Si Liren was holding him. His face was flushed red. "How dare you call someone else a devil? You're the real devil!"
"I didn't say he's the only devil in this world." Li Shentan said with a smile, "Of course I'm one of them. Come, let's get back to the topic at hand. A month ago, the Kyung Clan suddenly retreated from the main battlefield. After that, the Li Consortium's most mysterious nanosoldiers disappeared without a trace. The Li Consortium's upper echelons all thought you were going to fight to the death, but they would never have thought that this mysterious nanosoldiers were just your bargaining chip. So what was Qing Zhen's condition? He wanted you to leave with the gold? You sold out the Li Consortium just like that? "
The old man did not say another word. He was getting old, so he felt dizzy after struggling for a while in Si Liren's hands.
Li Shentan continued, "That mysterious unit disguised themselves as the Kyung Clan's wounded who retreated to the rear and headed north from the Kyung Clan's occupied territory. No one stopped them, and they were even provided with supplies and firearms. As for their destination, even I don't know. Can you tell me what they were up to?"
"This has nothing to do with you!" the old man roared.
"I'm also a member of the Li Consortium." Li Shentan sighed and said, "I wanted to destroy the Li Consortium with my own hands. After all, it doesn't feel good to see the Li Consortium wither away just like that. I'm ashamed of my identity. "
"You're crazy!"
"It's not fun anymore." Li Shentan sighed again and said, "The Li Consortium's destruction is imminent, so you should die with it."
Si Liren said, "Should I kill them?"
"No, I'll do it myself. You're still young, so you can't kill people."
As he said that, Li Shentan raised his hand and grabbed a small pebble from the ground. He flicked the pebble at the old man's head and left a bloody hole in it.
The pebble stopped at the back of the old man's head, then suddenly changed direction and pierced through the back of the driver's head.
Li Shentan muttered to himself, "It's over just like that?"
Si Liren threw the old man onto the muddy ground like a rag sack and asked curiously, "What are we going to do next?"
"I don't know either." Li Shentan smiled and said, "Let's go take a look at the Central Plains. I heard it's very prosperous there, but we'll have to wait a little longer. Grandpa isn't here yet."
"Oh." Si Liren nodded. "When will Grandpa Nonsense arrive?"
"Tomorrow." Li Shentan seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "Bring the gold in the car with you. Ren Xiaosu will definitely like it very much. We can give it to him the next time we meet."
"Aren't we going to the north to look for him?" Si Liren asked curiously.
Li Shentan said calmly, "He probably doesn't want to see me right now, right? Let's go to the Central Plains and wait for him there."
"Alright." Si Liren agreed obediently. As she spoke, she flew into the forest first and carried a huge metal box on her back. The box was several times her size, so she looked like a tiny bee as she flew in the sky with the box on her back. She stuffed the heavy gold into the box, but she did not seem to have any difficulty carrying the box.
Li Shentan stood on the quiet path and looked towards the end. He looked at the sunlight shining through the forest, and the spots of light were like cold rainwater. At this moment, he felt a little lost.
He was like a child who had just scored a hundred marks on a test. He should be happily looking for his parents to ask for rewards and praise, but he could not find anyone to share his happiness and success with.
