Half an hour later, it's no exaggeration to say that everyone was filthy; their once-clean black down jackets were now covered in all sorts of stains.
Cheng Zhi went back into her spatial dimension to wash her hands and brought out a large palette of eyeshadow. She was almost done with her clothes, only her face was left to do her makeup, so she decided to use eyeshadow to put on some makeup.
This kind of thing doesn't require any skill; you just need to make yourself look a bit miserable by using some black and red stuff.
Looking at the watermelon-red eyeshadow, Cheng Zhi couldn't help but exclaim, "I never would have imagined that it would come in handy one day."
Xiao Feiran leaned over and took a look. The watermelon red one, which had been brand new and looked brand new just moments ago, now had a dent in it. "It's more than just useful; it's almost empty."
Chen Siyu, who had been fiddling with the makeup for a while, looked up at them expectantly and asked, "How is it? Isn't my battle-damaged makeup pretty good?"
Chen Siyu had applied an unknown amount of contouring to both sides of her face, making her already thin face appear even more sunken. She had also accentuated her dark circles, and applied a lot of watermelon red to one of her eyes. Her lips were also covered with powder, making her look as pale as paper.
The other four hesitated to speak, but Cheng Zhi patted her on the shoulder and said, "You look just like a woman who was brutally murdered after being abused at home. You're here tonight to take someone else's life. You're quite intimidating, I must say."
Huang Yiyi nodded repeatedly, "The effect will be even better when it gets dark. Don't turn around carelessly, or you'll scare your own people to death."
Chen Siyu's makeup has unlocked everyone's secrets. Yeah, why pretend to be pitiful? As long as it's scary enough, isn't that enough?
So everyone used all their skills to try to draw themselves as ghosts.
Finally, the five of them looked at each other, realizing that they couldn't easily make eye contact at night, as even a single glance could trigger nightmares for three days.
Cheng Zhi expressed great satisfaction with this, saying it was excellent; even if it couldn't kill someone, it could scare them to death.
Then the five of them started hiking towards the city center.
We didn't encounter many people along the way. Even if we did, there were only two or three scattered people. We glanced at them and quickly walked away.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Siyu was overjoyed and whispered, "Really? They don't even dare to look at us twice. Is this makeup really that amazing?"
Zheng Wan, who usually pays great attention to her image, now looks utterly dejected with her face covered in contour powder. "Now I fully understand what it means to be forced by life's circumstances."
Huang Yiyi, who was walking at the front, chuckled twice. "Cherish the present moment. Now you can act crazy as you please, and no one will care. Would you have dared to go out like this before?"
Cheng Zhi shook her head, disagreeing with that statement. "If you want to go crazy, who will care? Nobody will care."
"Nobody will care about me, but I'll die!"
That makes a lot of sense. Before, they were college students and had burdens; now they're homeless and can do whatever they want. It's definitely more enjoyable to be homeless.
The further they went in, the more people there were. Even with such ugly makeup on their faces, some people would still reach out their hands, trying to get food from them.
Some people even got angry and tried to hit them when they couldn't get food, but of course they were all stunned by the stun guns they carried.
Finally, they got tired and found a secluded corner to squat down and rest.
She took out some warm water from her pocket, took a sip, and finally felt warmth on her face. Cheng Zhi glanced at the street littered with garbage. "The security in Liancheng is really bad. They're robbing people so openly. I've learned something new."
Pengcheng and Xiashan at least waited until the dark of night to make their move, but in Liancheng, they dared to rush up and tackle you to steal your things in broad daylight.
Mentioning this, Xiao Feiran's face was full of disgust, after all, she had been tackled twice in a row. She was able to break free from the first person, but the second person seemed determined to kill her, so Xiao Feiran didn't hold back and stabbed him directly.
The residents of Liancheng seemed to be used to such things as violence. When they saw the man lying on the ground, they did not go to help him or condemn Xiao Feiran.
That's good too, it saves them the trouble of defending themselves.
They must have been exhausted after walking for so long in such a cold environment. They thought that although there were many unruly people in Liancheng, they weren't very dangerous; they didn't even carry knives.
Xiao Feiran, who had originally suggested hiking, couldn't take it anymore. After finishing her glass of water, she said, "Who cares if it's conspicuous or not? Let's drive!"
Cheng Zhi had no objection to this. She even thought that driving might be more convenient. It's not like those troublemakers would rush at them if they drove, unless they really wanted to die.
Looking left and right and seeing no one around, the five of them slipped into the space, changed their dirty clothes, took a hot shower, and then went back to the car, otherwise they wouldn't want the car anymore.
After rubbing off the makeup with cleansing oil, everyone's face turned a dark reddish-black, resembling Guan Yu (a legendary figure known for his dark complexion).
Among them, Chen Siyu is the most famous, after all, she is the most ruthless.
Chen Siyu couldn't help but laugh. After wandering around in front of everyone, she went to tease Liu Liu and the little rabbits in the rabbit hutch.
The little rabbits were so frightened that they huddled together, every single hair of their fur rejecting Chen Siyu's approach. Liu Liu was also running away frantically, her eyes screaming, "Don't come any closer!"
Xiao Feiran had already washed her face and was leaning against the bathroom wall. "Are you going to wash your face or not? If you don't, I'm going to take a shower!"
Urged on, Chen Siyu reluctantly walked over and washed off the makeup she was so satisfied with. Looking at her clean and white reflection in the mirror, she said with great regret, "I wonder if I can replicate this next time."
Xiao Feiran: "..." There's no need to reproduce this kind of thing again!
The atmosphere in the other restroom was completely different. Cheng Zhi and Zheng Wan were both very happy after removing their makeup.
Huang Yiyi, who was still kneading and emulsifying the makeup, complained, "I bet five cents that Chen Siyu definitely won't take off this makeup, she's definitely still playing with it!"
As Cheng Zhi untied her hair, she said, "Do you even need to tell me? I heard Liu Liu calling out, and Si Yu's laughter is so mesmerizing."
Zheng Wan recalled Chen Siyu's infectious laughter and couldn't help but laugh out loud herself. "I bet five cents she's definitely gone and messed with the rabbits and chickens in the yard too."
