◎It doesn't look like a team, it looks more like a circus.◎
"..." Long Qingyu did not answer immediately. He glanced at Shangguan Yu and found that he was really reading a book. He didn't even look at him, as if he was tired of dealing with these things.
Even if Shangguan Yu didn't say it clearly, Long Qingyu would still be suspicious.
The distance from the hotel to here is not short. It is unlikely that Rong Xiao was able to arrive safely just by luck.
When he opened the back door just now, there were obvious signs of a fight outside. Rong Xiao was unharmed, but the man looked alert.
Although it is a bit hard to believe, Rong Xiao's attitude is more like that of a powerful person who is high above others. He unconsciously ignores the tricks of the weak and only cares about what interests him.
From the very beginning, Long Qingyu felt that she was a little different. The difference did not come from her unusual thinking and personality, but from the fact that there were too many coincidences in her that seemed coincidental but were not ordinary.
Every time I encounter danger, I can turn it into safety.
Seemingly fragile but never defeated.
Just like on a tragic battlefield, Rong Xiao can always cross the line of fire easily and unscathed, step over the scorched earth that is emitting heat, and reach the other side where he wants to go, as he pleases.
Even Long Qingyu didn't dare to have such confidence.
"Okay, let's all act together later. I'm worried about leaving Rong Xiao behind." Long Qingyu got up from his chair and squatted beside Rong Xiao, patting her shoulder solemnly. "From now on, you are also a member of our team. No matter what happens, we must trust each other and help each other."
"I understand!" After hearing the answer without hesitation, Long Qingyu was not worried that Rong Xiao would hold him back. Instead, he was a little worried about the future plans and arrangements. He touched his chin and went to the side to think.
As soon as he left, Ling Xi slowly came over, leaned close to Rong Xiao and said, "Follow me later. Oh no, don't follow me. I'm a dangerous person."
"Why?"
"Because they originally wanted to capture me. Space users usually carry a lot of supplies. It was Shangguan's brother who delayed the capture by pretending to be a space user, and in the end he was captured." Ling Xi unconsciously clenched her fists, her nails piercing her palms painfully. "I hope it's not too late. We'll set out to rescue him soon."
"Wow, a rescue game." Rong Xiao whispered a summary that was easy for him to understand.
Ling Xi laughed at her words: "Why do you always like playing games?"
"Because it's very interesting." Rong Xiao's smile contained a joy that they could not understand.
game, pushing the progress bar closer to her and the mysterious box at the end of the bar.
Curiosity is the most advantageous bait that motivates people to move forward and take action.
"Sleep a little longer. We'll set out in a bit and attack at night."
Rong Xiao nodded, moved the stool to the wall, looked at the shadow in the corner with his side profile, and soon began to dream.
Perhaps it should be said that she dreams every time she falls asleep.
The same dream, the deserted city was as dead silent as ever, exuding a sense of loneliness and abandonment.
Rong Xiao slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the cafe, leaned sideways and peeked with half of his head sticking out, as if he was afraid that his expectations would be dashed, and he didn't dare to reveal the answer he was hoping for too quickly.
"What are you doing sneaking around outside? Why don't you come in?" She was caught red-handed as soon as she appeared.
The person in the cafe was holding a book and didn't even look at the floor-to-ceiling window, but he still sensed Rong Xiao's appearance.
Rong Xiao couldn't wait to push the door open and go in. Usually, she would sit at the table by the window to prepare for "class", but today was different. She had news that she was eager to share with Teacher Mosaic.
"Mr. Mosaic, I joined a super good team!"
"Rong Xiao, there's something..."
"?"
“…”
The atmosphere became eerily quiet. Rong Xiao's eyes were filled with joy that was about to overflow. Even her steps as she entered the coffee shop were bouncing. He had never seen her so happy before.
It's only been one night, how did he join the team inexplicably?
"Is that group of people trustworthy? You've only known each other for a short time. It takes a lot of time to determine if a person is trustworthy, let alone a team. You're just rushing into joining them..."
"But, I remember you, Mr. Mosaic, said that the first rule of survival in the apocalypse is to join a strong and reliable team."
If he wasn't familiar with Rong Xiao's character, these words would seem like a deliberate slap in his face.
Teacher Mosaic was not as happy for her as she thought she would be, and asked again: "Are you sure it's a reliable team?"
His raised chin made him look a little serious, and his mosaic face showed an unconcealable dissatisfaction.
Fortunately, Rong Xiao couldn't read the air and didn't know that it was an unhappy aura.
"Sure!" Rong Xiao, who was completely unaware of his emotions, gave a straightforward answer.
"For example, how is reliability reflected?"
Rong Xiao lowered his head and thought carefully for a moment before answering earnestly, "One of them can make fire with his hands, like a mobile stove, so we can roast birds later. Another one has... spatial abilities, like a shopping cart, with lots of supplies! Furthermore, we've only just met, and they've been so kind as to protect me. They have such great team chemistry that they can relay messages to each other with just a few clicks. It's amazing."
The hand gestured vigorously in the air, and Teacher Mosaic narrowed his eyes, exuding an aura of "I don't believe it."
However, he did not say it out loud, nor did he interrupt Rong Xiao's description. Even though there was dissatisfaction in the depths of his eyes, he still patiently maintained his composure on the surface, not wanting to dampen her enthusiasm.
“Where is the strength reflected?”
"The captain is super good with guns, Sister Xi has a space that can create many things, Shangguan has wings and can fly, and Brother Chuan can throw fireballs!"
What a mess! Teacher Mosaic couldn't help but frown. This description didn't sound like a team, but more like a circus.
However, Rong Xiao's understanding was different from that of ordinary people. He vaguely guessed what was going on and quickly sorted out the information she said.
"Then how do you know they are trustworthy?"
"No matter what happens to their companions, they never abandon them!" Rong Xiao answered quickly. Suddenly, he paused, thinking of something, and asked again, "Teacher Mosaic, you said that never abandoning is difficult to do, right?"
The person opposite nodded quietly, and the aura on his body changed compared to before.
Even though she couldn't see the face clearly, Rong Xiao could clearly feel the gaze from the opposite side, which seemed to be looking straight into her eyes.
Rong Xiao didn't have the chance to notice that he never avoided her gaze when he looked at her.
"Actually, there was another teammate in our team, but he was captured. I heard from Sister Xi that the bad guys originally wanted to capture her, but the teammate was worried that something might happen to Sister Xi, so he pretended to be someone else to gain some space and delay the situation. However, he was captured by the bad guys."
"They're going to rescue him soon, I want to go too!"
Rong Xiao didn't feel scared or nervous at all about participating in an exciting rescue operation as he had just joined the team. Instead, he was eager to try it.
"Well, be careful later," Mr. Mosaic raised his hand and patted her on the head. "Remember what I told you before. Always be careful of betrayal from others and don't sacrifice yourself too much. Someone who is truly worthy of your efforts won't let you sacrifice everything."
"I understand." Rong Xiao couldn't remember how many times he had heard these words, as if they were important warnings that Teacher Mosaic would have to mention every once in a while.
After sharing his happy story, Rong Xiao suddenly remembered that Teacher Mosaic seemed to have something to say, and suddenly looked up and asked, "Teacher Mosaic, was there something you wanted to tell me just now?"
The smile on the blurred face seemed to fade away. "It's nothing. Remember to be careful later. If you encounter something you can't solve, ask for help or run away quickly."
"I will."
After receiving her firm assurance, Teacher Mosaic nodded, turned around and pretended to organize the books on the cash register without saying anything else.
Rong Xiao wanted to chat with him for a while longer, but suddenly his head felt heavy and someone patted his shoulders hard several times, waking him up from his dream.
She hadn't slept so soundly in a long time. Normally, if someone approached her, she would be instinctively warned and wake up.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Rong Xiao saw that the others were getting ready, so he immediately got up and joined them.
Tian Yichuan packed up his things the fastest and asked her with a smile, "Little girl, you're still asleep? Do you want to continue sleeping or leave with us?"
"Of course, with everyone!" Rong Xiao said without hesitation.
"Hahaha, that's a very straightforward answer."
After saying goodbye to the shop owner, Lingxi packed up the supplies Rongxiao had brought back, and the team officially set off in the night.
Rong Xiao twisted the small iron hook he had brought all the way here, and Ling Xi immediately came over: "Little Rong Xiao, we need to put away our weapons for now. Let me have them."
"Why?" Although he asked, Rong Xiao handed the weapon to Ling Xi without any doubt.
"Because we need to create some illusions." Ling Xi smiled mysteriously.
Rong Xiao then realized that they were all empty-handed. Not only their weapons, but even their backpacks had been put into Ling Xi's space. They were only symbolically holding things they picked up outside the shop as pretend weapons.
Shangguan Yu and Tian Yichuang had already selected the location, and the person who took Shangguan Huai away was in a factory not far ahead.
The factory was converted into a stronghold by them. The walls were high and there was no place to climb. The gate was guarded 24 hours a day and someone carried a gun, so it was not easy to sneak in.
Tian Yichuan said as he sorted things out, "There are at least a dozen of them, and at least one of them has special abilities. I'm not sure what that ability is. Most importantly, they all have weapons, including three guns."
"No, there are four guns, and one pistol is on the waist of the leading man, covered by his coat." Shangguan corrected calmly, and drew the general appearance of the gun on the notebook with a pen, asking Long Qingyu to identify the model, number of bullets in the magazine, etc.
Tian Yichuan panicked: "No way? I looked very carefully, could I have missed it?"
Shangguan Yu glanced at him dimly, his face full of the expression "You also know that you are unreliable"?
Tian Yichuan frowned with self-doubt and stepped forward to grab his collar: "Hey, brat, don't tell me you are kidding me?"
"Don't make me sound as unreliable as you," Shangguan smiled, pushing Tian Yichuan's hand away and leisurely smoothing his wrinkled collar. "While we were observing at the wall, one of us knocked over a bottle of water, which landed right behind the leader. The first thing he did wasn't to check what had fallen, but to reach for the bulge on his jacket at his waist."
"It seems that's the case..."
"It shows that the thing he's wearing on his waist is very important. It's very likely a weapon. Judging by its shape, it's unlikely to be a knife or something like that."
Tian Yichuan opened his mouth, as if trying to save his dignity, but after a moment of silence he admitted defeat: "You're awesome."
"Something's wrong." After walking almost halfway, Long Qingyu suddenly stopped and stared at a dark corner in front of him.
The others didn't notice anything, they just felt that the surroundings were eerily quiet, which was indeed a bit strange.
It stands to reason that you will encounter wandering zombies on the road more or less.
But they didn't even hear any sounds of zombies nearby, let alone any that could move.
"You are very alert, but you have walked into our encirclement and are ambushed." Someone from the second-floor shop next door was leaning on the window, holding up his chin and greeting them provocatively.
At once, people appeared from all over the place, no less than seven in number.
A man holding a gun slowly walked out from the place where Long Qingyu was staring at, with the muzzle of the gun aimed at him.
The group laughed unceremoniously, like a beast that has caught its prey mocking the weak and helpless prey in its claws.
Shangguan Yu, who was surrounded in the middle, lowered his head with a faint smile on his lips.
