Chapter 85 Desert Search (8) - Si Zhong Fetches Water

Because the agreed-upon signal between Ning Shu and his side was not a long chime, but two short chimes.

She quickly blew her whistle to warn them to be careful, and then rushed towards the target.

It seemed that the other party had been waiting for them to come over since the first long cry. When it saw that the person in front of it was a little girl, it was first stunned, and then grinned maliciously.

Ning Shu's innate skill is best suited for close-range attacks; it's less effective at longer distances. However, she doesn't dare get too close to her opponent, as she feels the urge to attack as soon as she sees them.

She froze the moment she raised her hand!

Yes, it was a physical freeze; her body suddenly became unable to move.

Why? Does this person have a magic spell to freeze people in place?

Ning Shu felt a chill run down her spine; she had failed before even getting started.

"Sister Ning!"

Seeing this, Wu Yi, who was locked in a fierce battle with his opponent, shouted. After being petrified, Wu Yi became invulnerable to blades and spears and felt no pain, beating his opponent until he screamed in pain.

Wu Yi's opponent was a player with a gun. After firing a few shots at Wu Yi, the opponent found it was useless and instead got beaten up badly.

Actually, Wu Yi wasn't like this after he was petrified; he felt that his abilities seemed to have increased.

Although a gunshot wound will leave a mark, it is not fatal.

He's not afraid of guns!

Before he could even feel happy, he saw that Ning Shu was in trouble, so he immediately delivered the final blow, knocking the other person to the ground and rendering him unable to move. He then immediately headed towards Ning Shu.

I saw that one of Sister Li's companions was almost killed by the other party, so I took care of him.

After thanking the rescued player, he quickly went to help his companion, while Wu Yi ran towards Ning Shu.

Wu Yi wanted to attack his opponent directly, but he was frozen in place before he even got close. He then understood why Ning Shu was acting this way.

Ning Shu was unlucky; she prided herself on her ruthless skills, but unfortunately, the target she chose happened to be the one who countered her.

As long as she can't move, she can't use her skills.

Only then did Ning Shu realize how the other party had done it.

She saw that part of the other person's shadow on the ground suddenly split off and went towards Wu Yi who was rushing over. When it touched Wu Yi's feet, Wu Yi was frozen in place.

It turns out it was the opponent's shadow causing the trouble. The opponent could even control the extension and retraction of the shadow. That's an incredibly powerful skill.

We should have attacked at night, but they don't have night vision, so we probably wouldn't have gained any advantage by attacking at night.

The key issue is that both of Ning Shu's people have perished here, and it's likely no one will be able to rescue them. Well, Ning Shu feels that his life has been far too short.

Although Ning Shu and the other two were captured, the battle on Sister Li's side went quite well. The three of them took two people hostage, and with Wu Yi taking down the other two, the bully gang lost four members of their fighting force.

However, since none of them killed anyone, all four members of the bully gang are still alive.

However, one of the other two cooperating players was killed, and the other was taken hostage.

Overall, the two sides maintained a delicate balance.

"You guys have some nerve, actually hurting so many of my people." The bully leader squinted his small eyes and stared menacingly at Sister Li and her two companions.

Sister Li and the others were also conflicted. Should they save Ning Shu and the others? If they retreated, they could escape unscathed.

Sister Li was still grateful to Wu Yi for saving her companion, and suggested, "Since we both have people holding each other hostage now, how about we exchange them?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Shu thought, "Oh dear, we can still negotiate, which means we're not at an impasse yet." He quickly added, "We need some more water, just water."

She doesn't need the fruit, since she already has it. As long as she gets the water, it won't be a waste of all the trouble if she returns and then distributes the supplies again.

Sister Li didn't expect that Ning Shu would still be thinking about supplies even at this point. She really didn't know what to say.

The leader seemed to have heard a joke. He first laughed loudly, then walked closer to Ning Shu, looked up and touched her face with the back of his hand.

"What are we exchanging? This is great. This girl is quite pretty. She can stay and have some fun with the brothers. Isn't that good?"

"..."

What the hell! This boss doesn't even want his underlings anymore!

The premise of negotiation is that the other party also has a conscience like them. Ning Shu couldn't do anything to people without any bottom line. How could such a person become the boss!

Those players who followed him were truly blind.

However, Ning Shu calmed down and said that he would not kill her immediately. As long as she could move, she could take care of them.

We just need to wait for the right opportunity.

Sister Li was clearly at a loss as well. If they couldn't find a replacement, what would they do?

Ning Shu then said, "If you're not going to change players, then you should at least give them some water."

The leader looked at Ning Shu and smiled somewhat lewdly: "Giving it to you is no problem, after all, you'll be staying with us for quite some time."

Ning Shu was speechless, then said, "What I meant was, give them to them!"

The "they" refers to Sister Li and her group. After all, they can't let the other party come for nothing, since she can't leave anyway, so they might as well give them some benefits.

This wicked person certainly wouldn't let her die of thirst or hunger, so it's most suitable for Sister Li and the others.

What if the other party has a conscience and is willing to come back to save them? It's always good to leave yourself a glimmer of hope.

The leader was surprised: "I didn't expect you to be so loyal and righteous."

Ning Shu looked at him, her inner thoughts at that moment: No, it was all technique, no emotion.

Sister Li was also surprised that Ning Shu was still thinking of her at this time. They had only met by chance, and she was a little touched.

At that moment, those present suddenly heard the sound of a car engine.

A moment of silence fell over the scene. Ning Shu was also puzzled: There was actually a car in the desert?

Then she saw that string of large, bold, golden numbers appear in the sky, and it was even flashing with golden light!

One million has arrived!

Then a black SUV appeared in front of them, rushing down the sand dunes towards the lake and stopping near the shore.

The car door opened, and a man wearing a gray-black long trench coat and sunglasses stepped out.

In this instance, everyone else was covered in dust and dirt, but he was clean and refreshed. Everyone else walked on two legs, but he drove a car, an SUV at that.

His entire being screams: He's got a lot of points, he's got tons of points!

Not only Ning Shu, but everyone else was also stunned. They couldn't believe that there was such a person in this instance.

The other person looked over and noticed that it was quite a scene, as if a group of people were fighting.

He took off his sunglasses, hung them on the buttons of his shirt, and looked at them.

The leader then realized what was happening and walked up to the newcomer: "Brother, this is my territory. What brings you here?"

"water."

The other party was concise and to the point.

Seeing the other party like this, the leader's usual practice would have been to let the other party take water and leave, but unfortunately, he happened to be attacked.

If he didn't do something, this wouldn't stand up, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Brother, water is available, 10 points."
