"Julie, do you know them?" Accompanied by an unfamiliar male voice, the dark green branches retracted and disappeared as if they had never existed, and three people came into view at the cave entrance.

Besides Julie Pelosi, there was also a man from R country with tattered clothes...

Rewind to an hour earlier, due to the sheer number of attacking entities, everyone was forced to scatter, and Julie Perot and Blue Night ended up together.

Some things don't need to be said between adults; a glance or a gesture is enough to express their thoughts.

Lan Ye naturally paid some attention to Julie. It wouldn't be love at first sight, but he definitely had a good impression of her. Knowing that she came to the rainforest to find her boyfriend, Lan Ye followed her.

Having feelings for someone doesn't mean anything has to happen. He just felt that Julie Perrot was different from the pampered noble ladies in Kyoto and was more in line with his aesthetic. Female mercenaries were rare, and he admired them.

He doesn't mind lending a hand if he has the ability, and he also hopes that lovers can reunite.

Julie Pello didn't explain anything. She wouldn't refuse help from someone like a hypocrite. The two of them headed towards the red maple forest without exchanging a word.

Most of the seaweed-like roots encountered along the way were dealt with by Blue Night's bone threads. Some were avoided, and the journey to the red leaf area was completed smoothly.

This doesn't mean the leaves in the forest are red, but rather that there are large patches of red, large-leaved grasses, about the height of a human, with leaves so large that they could completely envelop a person when closed.

Julie Pelosi didn't know what kind of plant it was, so she simply named it after its appearance.

"Be careful. Although there are no outside helpers here, there are still man-eating things. Those leaves can kill people."

Lan Ye raised an eyebrow. Outside, roots and stems kill, but here, leaves do the killing? No wonder this is the no-man's land of R country; it's almost like a science fiction movie.

Despite his complaints, Lan Ye remained extremely vigilant, as he didn't want to die young.

When the leaves behind me suddenly curled up, I quickly dodged and avoided being caught. Instead, a red-leaved plant in front of me got caught.

The stem, about half an arm's thickness, made a "crunching" sound as it was being chewed and crushed, demonstrating the absolute and astonishing strength of the leaves.

Looking at the red leaves scattered everywhere, Lan Ye's eyelids twitched: "Your boyfriend isn't trapped here, is he?"

"no."

Just as Lan Ye breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the capable woman in front of him say, "It's deepest in the red leaf plant area. You don't need to risk your life for me. We have no relationship. Let's go our separate ways."

After saying that, he walked straight into the depths without waiting for Lan Ye at all.

After taking a few steps, he turned back and frowned, saying, "Didn't you understand what I said? Why are you still following her?"

Lan Ye said indifferently, "There's no need for me to feel like I'm helping you. We're already in here, so we can look after each other if we go together. If I have the ability, I'll help you gain favor; if I don't, I'll prioritize my own safety."

Julie Pelosi's blunt words actually made her think more highly of Lan Ye: "Your personality is more like that of a selfish mercenary, not someone who serves the country."

Lan Ye chuckled: "Then you're mistaken. I am still very responsible. If... your trip is fruitless, you are welcome to come and get to know me. If you achieve your goal, I wish you all the best."

Julie Pelosi gave Lan Ye a deep look before continuing to lead the way.

Both were well-trained and highly skilled, and although there were dangers, they both survived unscathed.

Finally, we ventured deep into the red leaves, where a red-leaved plant over ten meters tall stood, its very tip forming a scarlet bud, seemingly about to bloom.

Just as I was about to approach to see what was going on, a surprised male voice called out in Japanese, "Julie!"

The man was handsome, but looked younger than Julie. His clothes were tattered and torn in many places. He ran over to the two of them with surprise.

After being stranded in the rainforest for over two months, I didn't smell bad at all; instead, I had a sweet, cloying odor...

Julie Pello's eyes showed no joy, but rather a fleeting wariness before she smiled and said, "Crow, you're alive!"

The two embraced excitedly, but Lan Ye's eyes flickered. For some reason, he felt that Julie didn't like this young man. There was no particular reason; it was just a gut feeling...

Having found the people, they decided not to venture further into the area and instead rejoined the others. On their way back, they encountered Lin Changli and the others.

After hearing the story, Wei Shengyi stared at Klo and asked casually, "When you returned to the outer edge, you weren't attacked by the dark green roots?"

Those things from before vanished as they approached...

Kro took out a small bottle of red juice and said, "This is the juice of a plant. If you apply it to your body, you won't be attacked by that thing. I've survived here for more than two months and slowly figured it out."

Julie Pelosi nodded and said, "It's true. Major General Blue Night and I have tried it. This is the sap of plants in the red leaf area. Everything has its counter, and those things probably don't like red leaf plants if they don't cross the line."

Kong Sang took the bottle from Kro and said with a smile, "Thank you, and congratulations on surviving this ordeal. Julie was very worried about you."

Chloe grinned and said, "I know. The thought of finally confessing my feelings and then going to heaven made me unwilling. Luckily, I held on until she came to find me."

Kongsang seemed very curious about Kro. While looking for others to join him, he chatted with Kro about the past two months of PUBG. Kro was also very talkative, and the two found they had much in common.

With a keen interest, he even rudely pushed Julie aside and walked and chatted with Chloe side by side. Strangely, Julie didn't get angry and silently followed behind.

Kong Sang was genuinely excited. Just now, Ai Tong had opened her purple eyes, and in her eyes, Kro was the second thing besides Nie Jingxing that was different from humans.

Under the vision of the purple eyes, Nie Jingxing's body appeared illusory, with only a black crystal heart and a vein extending to his eyes.

Kro still had a human body, but it was dead; the blood wasn't flowing, the heart wasn't beating—it was a complete corpse, yet it was chatting and laughing with her…

Perhaps influenced by Nie Qu's interest in research, Kong Sang was not afraid. On the contrary, she was eager to find out how Ke Luo maintained his vitality, and thus became excited.

While speaking, she even tried to grab Chloe's arm, but he dodged her...

Looking at Julie behind him, Chloe seemed to suddenly realize that he had neglected his girlfriend who had come to rescue him. He quickly distanced himself from Kongsang, looking somewhat embarrassed and unsure of what to say.

Kong Sang remained silent. She just wanted to touch his body to see if it was cold or hot, but it made her seem like she had ulterior motives.

but……

Kong Sang's peach-blossom eyes swept over the silent Julie, and a playful smile curled her lips. It seemed that Julie wasn't the only one who noticed something amiss. She was now starting to suspect that Julie had actually come in looking for someone...

With his waist held, Lin Changli looked down at Kong Sang and said, "Shall we talk about life? I have a lot to say too."
